Harvard Professor: Call It What it Is. A "Kill The Jews" Flotilla

Harvard professor assails 'kill-the-Jews flotilla'

In audio interview, scholar Ruth Wisse says flotilla aims to "give Hamas a free hand amassing weapons," calls Yale's closure of YIISA "a scandal."

Harvard University Professor Ruth Wisse has sharply condemned ongoing attempts by international activists to set sail for Gaza on what she called a “kill-the-Jews flotilla.”




“The purpose of the flotilla is to discredit the Israeli attempt to protect itself and to give Hamas a free hand amassing weapons to use against Israeli civilians,” said Wisse, who is visiting Israel, in a wide-ranging, 30-minute audio interview with Inside Israel's Mordechai I. Twersky. “It should be called what it is: a 'kill-the-Jews flotilla. If it is called by its proper name, then it will be recognized for what it is.”

Fire Up The Coal Plants!

Posted by Brian
With studies showing that pollution is actually reflecting heat back into space, creating a global cooling effect over the last decade, then "Burn, baby burn!".  Conversely, clean air measures have the opposite effect of creating a warming effect.  Am I really for dirty air? Of course not.  But doesn't this point out the inanity of this scientific "consensus" tripe regarding man-made global warming.  The fact is is that earth's climate is much more complex than these alarmists want us to know.  Global warming, or climate change, or whatever the term du jour is, is big business.  It is why we are told these asinine things, such as CO2 being a pollutant.  (So, everybody stop breathing!)
Or that these little curly-q CFL lightbulbs, which are loaded with mercury by the way, are the answer to stop global warming. 
Sheryl Crow tells us we can help by only using a single square of toilet paper when using the toilet.  The planet will love you, but your wife is going to kill you for fudging up every pair of BVD's you own. 
And of course, there are the "carbon offset credits" you can buy from Algore so that every time you fart someone can plant a tree somewhere in South America.  Carbon offsets are the new millenium scam.  An updated version of buying land deeds on the moon. Far be it from me to tell you not buy them. If it makes you feel better, or makes you feel like you are "making a difference", knock yourself out.  If you want, you can even try to save my soul at the alter of Mother Earth by buying a few for me.
In the meantime, all coal all the time!

Asia pollution blamed for halt in warming: study

By Gerard Wynn

LONDON
Mon Jul 4, 2011 3:17pm EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - Smoke belching from Asia's rapidly growing economies is largely responsible for a halt in global warming in the decade after 1998 because of sulphur's cooling effect, even though greenhouse gas emissions soared, a U.S. study said on Monday.

The paper raised the prospect of more rapid, pent-up climate change when emerging economies eventually crack down on pollution.

World temperatures did not rise from 1998 to 2008, while manmade emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuel grew by nearly a third, various data show.

The researchers from Boston and Harvard Universities and Finland's University of Turku said pollution, and specifically sulphur emissions, from coal-fueled growth in Asia was responsible for the cooling effect

The Missing US Ambassador at the feast for Ronald Reagan

Last night's Guildhall dinner in honour of Ronald Reagan's centenary was a truly glittering and warm occasion.

The British roasted lamb and the sunny Californian chardonnay evoked the close Anglo-US relationship of Reagan and Thatcher as much as the fine speeches by Condi Rice and William Hague.

But guests were left asking, where on earth was the American ambassador to London, Louis B Susman?

Mark Levin to Thomas Friedman: "You Piece Of Crap!"



Levin: Tom Friedman is a "jackass", "piece of crap". That's going easy on him. Friedman's the most clueless reporter to ever hold a top position at a major newspaper. He doesn't know the first thing about Israel or the Middle East, to say nothing of a jewish reporter taking cheap shot after cheap shot at the Jewish state surrounded by Arab murderous regimes, totalitarian regimes who from the day it became a nation have sought to wipe Israel off the map.

Thank you, Mark Levin, for calling out this scumbag who never ceases to find reason to scoff at and criticize Israel.

Obama continues to flout campaign laws, jets around with Mooch-elle and the kids to all jet-set points far and wide, and treats the American public as his own personal ATM.  This story will probably not go much further, as the media will blow it off as "insignificant" (which it is, compared to $5 trillion in debt built up in two years),  The Federal Elections Commission will let it slide, and God knows that Eric Holder and Justice will probably go out and attack the persons who pointed it out in the first place.  Just another tidbit to add to the mountain of crap to remind you that Obama and the Democrats have to be soundly crushed in November 2012.

Obama Administration Embraces The Muslim Brotherhood

Posted by Brian
Obama, Hillary Betray Israel

The Obama Administration, which threw Israel under the bus by calling on Israel to retreat to pre-1967 borders, a move that would be suicidal to Israel, is now backing the bus back over them to try to finish the job.  How else to explain the administration's decision to recognize the Muslim Brotherhood as a legitimate partner in Egypt? 
For decades the U.S. refused to negotiate with terrorist organizations.  Jimmy Carter, anti-Semite and all around useful idiot, broke the policy when brokering "peace" with Yassar Arafat and the PLO, giving legitimacy and emboldening terrorists groups all over the Middle East.
Now come Obama, embracing enemies and apologizing for past U.S. "wrongs" all over the world.  Embracing the Muslim Brotherhood, which has consistently called for the annihilation of Israel, sends the message to the entire Middle East that the U.S. government is not the strong partner of Israel that it has been since 1947.
Israel should be very nervous of, not only the Muslim Brotherhood, but of an Obama Administration that doesn't understand, or apparently care, of the special relationship that exists between our two countries.
American's need to ensure that Barack Hussein Obama is not elected to a 2nd term, or their may not be an Israel to have a special relationship with

U.S. to build contacts with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the move is part of U.S. efforts to open communication with important political players in Egypt's post-Mubarak landscape.
By Paul Richter and David Zucchino, Los Angeles Times

July 1, 2011
Reporting from Washington and Cairo—

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that U.S. officials intend to build contacts with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a sign of American concern that the conservative Islamic group is becoming one of the most important political forces in the post-Mubarak order.

Speaking to reporters in Budapest, Hungary, Clinton said that "given the changing political landscape in Egypt…it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful, and committed to nonviolence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency."


The Obama administration has indicated since the uprising early this year that it sees a legitimate role for the group in Egyptian politics. On Jan. 31, then-White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that a reformed Egyptian government had to "include a whole host of important non-secular actors that give Egypt a strong chance to continue to be [a] stable and reliable partner."

Democrat Senator: Illegal Alien Could Be Our Future President


Senator Dick Durbin has never been accused of being the brightest man in ANY room. However as a 3-term Senator one would at least expect him to know the basics of the U.S. Constitution that he swore an oath to defend. No such luck, as Durbin led off the first hearing of his pet 'DREAM Act' by asking all the illegals in his audience to stand up (you know, the ones 'hiding in the shadows') and then says he sees in them our future "doctors, our teachers...our senators, and maybe our president." Uh, Senator, try reading Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution, which says: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President." So not even a LEGAL immigrant can EVER be President. Sigh.

Obama: Sucking The Life Out Of The Economy

President Obama, fresh off excoriating Republicans and the Congress for taking breaks during debt-ceiling negotiations and convincing senators to cancel their 4th of July plans,turned down an offer from Senate Leader Mitch McConnell to meet with Republicans and attempt to make progress on the negotiations.  True to form, Obama turned down the offer, calling it "a waste of time".
Apparently, with unemployment at 9.2% ( real unemployment (U6) iscloser to 16%), record foreclosures, and 43 million on foodstamps, Obama is just too busy to take time with the minutiae of negotiating a solution to the budget crisis.  I mean, he's a busy man, doing all of this President stuff.  Must be wall to wall meetings, talking to advisors, calling economic experts, and working like a dog trying to keep the U.S. from defaulting on its debts.  Well here is the President's jam packed schedule for today, tomorrow, and the rest of the weekend.  You know. The weekend that he told the senators to "just get it done"?

This is who we (by we, I mean some of you) elected to be President.  Quite possibly the laziest President we've had.  Certainly the most destructive.  You have to wonder: Is the meeting with Republicans a waste of time because the economy is doing exactly what he wants it to do?  Remember, to fundamentally change something (like a country) it has to be torn down to its foundation.  Maybe it's exactly what he wants.

Obama Losing Support Of Pro-Israel Jewish Democrats?

Posted by Brian


Obama may be losing the faith of Jewish Democrats
By BEN SMITH
6/29/11 4:32 AM EDT

David Ainsman really began to get worried about President Barack Obama’s standing with his fellow Jewish Democrats when a recent dinner with his wife and two other couples — all Obama voters in 2008 — nearly turned into a screaming match.

Ainsman, a prominent Democratic lawyer and Pittsburgh Jewish community leader, was trying to explain that Obama had just been offering Israel a bit of “tough love” in his May 19 speech on the Arab Spring. His friends disagreed — to say the least.

One said he had the sense that Obama “took the opportunity to throw Israel under the bus.” Another, who swore he wasn’t getting his information from the mutually despised Fox News, admitted he’d lost faith in the president.

GOP says Obama must work, too
By ABBY PHILLIP | 06/29/11 4:15 PM Updated: 06/29/11 6:06 PM

President Obama is getting pushback from Republicans for his suggestion that Congress isn’t working hard enough on debt ceiling negotiations, even going so far as to imply that they may need to cancel some of their planned district work days in July to make time for talks.


“If by the end of the week, we have not seen substantial progress, then I think members of Congress need to understand, we're going to, you know, start having to cancel things and stay here until we get it done,” Obama said at a press conference on Wednesday. “You know, they're in one week. They're out one week. And then they're saying, 'Obama's got to step in.' ”

But that pointed criticism may have done as much to raise the bar for Obama’s own activities. Tomorrow he plans to travel to Philadelphia for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser on behalf of his reelection campaign — his 31st fundraiser since January. Republicans may now start to scrutinize the Obama calendar’s eclectic mix of stumping and governing (and golfing) even as he tries to ramp up pressure on congressional leaders.

In an animated rant that livened up an otherwise subdued press conference, President Obama today lit into Congress for failing to reach an agreement to raise the country’s $14.3 trillion debt ceiling as an Aug. 2 deadline approaches, despite repeated urgings by the administration to do so. At one point he even reprimanded lawmakers by noting that his two daughters manage to do their homework ahead of time, a diligence rarely seen on gridlocked Capitol Hill.

Obama "Amused" When People Say He Should Be Involved In Debt Talks

President Obama says he is "amused" when people say he needs to get more involved in the debt crisis talks currently being led by Vice President Joe Biden.



"If you know you have to do something, just do it. And I have to say, I am very amused when I start hearing comments about 'well the President needs to show more leadership on this.' Let me tell you something: Right after we finished dealing with the government shutdown, averting a government shutdown, I called the leaders here together. I said we have to get this done," President Obama said at a press conference this afternoon.

Obama told Congress it is up to them and "they need to do their job."

"Now's the time to go ahead and make the tough choices, that's why they're called leaders."

And why you're not!

John Lennon was a closet Republican, who felt a little embarrassed by his former radicalism, at the time of his death - according to the tragic Beatles star's last personal assistant.


Fred Seaman worked alongside the music legend from 1979 to Lennon's death at the end of 1980 and he reveals the star was a Ronald Reagan fan who enjoyed arguing with left-wing radicals who reminded him of his former self.

Huntsman Presidential Chances Flushed By Reid Endorsement

Official photo of United States Ambassador to ...Image via Wikipedia
Whatever small chance that Jon Huntsman had to get the GOP primary has been damaged by an unlikely ally - Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). Only a day after standing in the place that Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy for the 1980 Presidential run, with Lady Liberty standing proud in the background, and saying he has "respect" for President Obama, and that politics need to be more civil, he was already off to a rough start with conservatives. This will probably, and hopefully, put a nail in the coffin of his candidacy.

It wasn't long ago that the left was ridiculing Glenn Beck and others for pointing out that the "Arab Spring" was just another step towards radical Islamists vision of a new caliphate. Here, we see an "Islamic call spanning the Globe" for a conference to be held in Great Britain on June 9th. This "conference" is called "The UK Khilafah Conference". Khilafah" is another name for "caliphate". What is a caliphate? It is The Caliph (Arabic: خليفة‎ ḫalīfah/khalīfah) is the head of state in a Caliphate, and the title for the ruler of the Islamic Ummah, an Islamic community ruled by the Shari'ah (from Wikipedia).
Looks like Beck and others were correct, and the useful idiots on the left are once again leading us down a path of tyranny.
Here is the trailer for the UK Khilafah Conference on the 9th of July.
