Legislators getting rebates from unions

Legislators getting rebates from unions ?



Unions give  $$$ to the Legislators /politicians this is the start of the problem. 
These legislators /politicians then
vote for  increased wages and benefits creating a very expensive loop, with millions flowing to the unions members and then back to the politicians all paid for by the taxpayers.

Princes /princesses in our congress ?

Princes /princesses  in our congress ?

Watching all the protest and unrest in the Mideast countries, I see a lot of people locked in their places in life by a embedded ruling class. This discontent and frustration  fuels the protests.


Looking at our Senate and the House I can feel a lot of the same feeling. Some members are just ignoring the people who insist that we stop spending money that we don't have. They seem to have a attitude that they know best and and are ignoring the people. As if they are entitled to stay in office as some sort of prince or princess.

Time will tell, we will definitely see another major political shift in 2012.

The Closing of the Muslim Mind



The book you must read to understand the


Islamist crisis—and the threat to us all










Robert R. Reilly’s eye-opening book masterfully explains the frightening behavior coming out of the Islamic world. Terrorism, he shows, is only one manifestation of the spiritual pathology of Islamism.



Reilly uncovers the root of our contemporary crisis: a pivotal struggle waged within the Muslim world nearly a millennium ago. In a heated battle over the role of reason, the side of irrationality won. The deformed theology that resulted, Reilly reveals, produced the spiritual pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture.







The Closing of the Muslim Mind solves such puzzles as:


· why the Arab world stands near the bottom of every measure of human development

· why scientific inquiry is nearly dead in the Islamic world

· why Spain translates more books in a single year than the entire Arab world has in the past thousand years

· why some people in Saudi Arabia still refuse to believe man has been to the moon

Delving deeper than previous polemics and simplistic analyses, The Closing of the Muslim Mind provides the answers the West has so desperately needed in confronting the Islamist crisis.

The Grand Jihad



Recommend by Glenn Beck today. I was just watching the Glen Beck show and he talked briefly withe the author Andrew  McCarthy.
This show was on the day that Murbaruk resigns as president of Egypt.  Interesting that he said he would put his money on the Muslim Brotherhood will be in power after the political dust settles.


I startingd to see Glenn Beck as a "Paul Revere" of our times.  His predictions are amazing. I have stopped watched any of the left mainstream media for my news.


The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America
 


The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is Islamism, whose sophisticated forces have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security but also to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty. In The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, bestselling author Andrew C. McCarthy offers a harrowing account of how the global Islamist movement’s jihad involves far more than terrorist attacks, and how it has found the ideal partner in President Barack Obama, whose Islamist sympathies run deep.

For years, McCarthy warned of America’s blindness to the Islamist threat, but in The Grand Jihad McCarthy exposes a new, more insidious peril: the government’s active appeasement of the Islamist ideology. With the help of witting and unwitting accomplices in and out of government, Islamism doesn’t merely fuel terrorism but spawns America-hating Islamic enclaves in our very midst, gradually foisting Islam’s repressive law, sharia, on American life.

The revolutionary doctrine has made common cause with an ascendant Left that also seeks radical transformation of our constitutional order. The prognosis for liberty could not be more dire.

Glenn Beck as a Paul Revere

Watching the daily Glenn Beck show, its seems to me that Glenn Beck may be 2011's Paul Revere.

I never heard the word caliphate, while researching the caliphate in Muslim history it does have call for a new empire based on the teaching of Islam.


Just heard Donald Rumsfield use the word and talk about the caliphate with Egypt at its center, little scary. I know that Rumfield was promoting his new book, but I hope he adds the word caliphate to the vocabuary of Americans.



Time will tell.
