The Melting Pot Is Melting

Other than the war on terror, the next dangerous situation to America is illegal immigration and its effects on The Melting Pot. The “solution” to this was the result of no input from ‘the American people’ on the the major aspects of the immigration bill in Congress. It is the beginning of the pot melting. The best presentation of what this bill actually does, as opposed to what proponents say about it, is this Heritage In Focus video by former AG Edwin Meese.

American Muslims Support Suicide Bombings

Such is the result of a survey of so-called moderate Muslims in America. Why, how can this be? The media constantly tells us, prompted by CAIR, how American Muslims are different than the terrorists, that they support America fighting the Islamofascists because they are perverting Islam. That’s not all they support. 31% of America’s Muslims also support suicide bombings in the name of Islam.

* More than one in four Muslims (or 26%), aged 18-29, said “Suicide Bombing is Justified.” 2% percent of them say it can often be justified, 13% say sometimes, and 11% say rarely. Add to that, the 5% don’t know/refused to answer this easy, instinctive question, and it’s even worse–for a total of 31%–almost a third of young American Muslims, who support homicide bombings. This younger group of Muslims is the most radical, the study found, and it’s the largest group of Muslims in America. It is also the future of “America’s” Islam.

Which certainly confirms what many have suspected since we decided to fight back. Which is; were we just misunderstanding their reaction, which was the sound of silence? As this survey confirms, there was no misunderstanding.

CAIR’s communications director Ibrahim Hooper says the survey “clearly shows that the American Muslim community is well integrated in our society.” And that “the overwhelming majority of American Muslims reject terrorism and religious extremism.”

Ibrahim must be thinking about the Middle East, not the United States. Americans don’t believe that a 31% terrorist oriented religious block would be something to call “well integrated.” How right he is. We have something to be concerned about when a lot of 18-29 yr olds wouldn’t mind (and wouldn’t stop?) a little suicide bomber here and there. They’re the ones who seem to be well integrated.

The young show a greater tendency to identify themselves as Muslim first and American second. This faith-first pattern is even more pronounced among Muslims in Europe, according to previous Pew surveys.

Spain, France, Germany, Great Britain. Look how well it works there. CAIR’s headline in all this is “American Muslims Reject Extremes.” It’s not the majority of Muslim Americans (69%) I’m concerned about. It’s the other 31%.

Gasoline, You Pay What You Get For

Now that a gallon of gas cost over $3, the news media is re-running the same news casts on this subject that they did last year. Well, not really but the tilt is the same, their message is the same, for all practical purposes they could re-play last years’ broadcasts on this subject. They continue to belabor the question for the great unwashed; why are gas prices so high?

That question is commonplace among the economically challenged who think supply and demand are obscure theories that contradict reality. They only look to gouging in one way or another. The question that should be posed, and hasn’t been is this; what have we done since last year to increase oil supply? How many new wells were licensed? Where has exploration begun? How many oil refineries have we built? What have we done to supply or demand to cause the price to come down? I like this one best, would we be more secure and would the price of gas be as high as it is today if, ten years ago, we had started drilling and expanding the oil and gas infrastructure ?

The population doing what populations do will increase demand on its own. Births outnumber deaths. We are now over 300 million strong, not counting the 12-20 million illegals. And right now Congress is attempting to slip an immigration bill over on us that will so radically change the demographics and politic of this country that guarantees over 100 million (the families of the 12 million) more Mexicans will be here driving cars.

The evidence of government actions points to a willingness to increase our population (demand) by the stroke of a pen, and absolutely no evidence to increase the oil supply to meet our current demands, let alone the effect (if enacted) this immigration bill will have on demand. How high will it have to go before the left understands economics? Is $6/gallon enough? You pay what you get for.

Nuclear Iran Not Complying With U.N. Demands

Well there’s a news flash. Not really. And that useless ElBaradei of the UN nuclear club (IAEA) is already in give-up mode.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei is now arguing that diplomatic efforts to get Iran to suspend enrichment may no longer make sense if the Islamic republic has the technical ability to enrich on a large scale, a diplomat familiar with the inspection process told The Associated Press.

What’s the end-game here? Looking for a willing host country to take the United Nations is a start. Ahmadinejad might get that attack he’s been asking and preparing for.

Dems Don’t Want To End War, Not Yet

Ending the war before it is won, which is all the democrats in Washington After losing a vote 67-29 to cut off funding for the war in Iraq, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. waits in a hallway on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 16, 2007, for the Democrat's news conference to discuss Iraq. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) have been talking about, just hit a snag.   Having a chance to do it decisively by not funding it just slipped away.  They only got 29 votes in favor, where 60 would have been needed to override a veto.  Nineteen democrats voted against ending funding for the war, and twenty-eight democrats voted to end funding by March 31, 2008.   So, what does that say about the so-called mandate that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi claim got them in the majority?  It all kind of goes up in smoke.  It’s exactly what you get when you kowtow to the far left Soros groups instead of ‘the people.’ 

They deceived themselves into believing that they got elected to END the war.  Taking their money and advice from the Soros wing of the party, and having absolutely no convictions of their own, I can see how they got that way.  They don’t want the war to end yet.  Not until they have used it politically to the fullest extent possible, leading up to the ’08 election. After losing a vote 67-29 to cut off funding for the war in Iraq, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., left, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., center, and Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., wait for the start of their Iraq news conference, Wednesday, May 16, 2007, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) End it now, then what if we get attacked in our homeland before the election?   It’s curtains for them for sure.  It comes down to the democrats concentrating more on criticizing the administration than killing our enemy.  For them, Iraq is just a political tool to use to gain political power.  After all, it’s Bush’s war, not ours.  Never mind the 6,400 + casualties so far.  And never mind to our military families that have loved ones in harms way, doing the job we (democrats included) asked them to do.

Winning this war would be a snap if this bunch would only focus on our real enemy, as opposed to their enemy, republicans.

Katie Couric’s Ratings At CBS

CBS is scratching their heads over why the perky one’s ratings are so dismal.  Still in denial over their poor choice, experts look for other reasons, like you.  You sexist, racist white guys don’t like hearing news from a woman.  So says CBS News Senior Vice President, Standards and Special Projects Linda Mason.

I’m just surprised at how, almost 30 years after I worked on the “Evening News” as the first woman producer, that Katie is having such a tough time being accepted by the public, which seems to prefer the news from white guys, and now that Charlie’s doing so well, from older white guys. I guess they want the reassurance of a Walter Cronkite.

Linda, could it just be a lightweight with an agenda that people do not want?  Katie’s brand is power legs and a stack of papers in her lap.  A far cry from Walter Cronkite.  I don’t see a racial component in this equation.  Seems to me they are also in denial about why they have a paucity of minority news readers on the air.  As for Katie, the Canadian cable news program called Naked News may be an option.  There is more diversity there than on CBS.

Putin At It Again

Russian President Vladimir Putin is showing signs of delusion again, this time by comparing U.S. policies to that of Nazi Germany.   I don’t know who he reminds me of most, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, or Kim Jong Ill? 

The comments were the latest in a series of sharply worded Russian criticisms of the foreign policy of the United States — on Iraq, missile defense, NATO expansion and, more broadly, United States unilateralism in foreign affairs.

 This guy is going the wrong way on a one way street.

Belly up to the counter. Politics are on the menu and Ross is on the grill.
