Obamination: Class Warfare; No growth, No Jobs, No Debt Reduction

Obamination: Class Warfare; No growth, No Jobs, No Debt Reduction President Obama continues to joust straw men and  play class warfare tactics with the economy, deficit, debt, jobs and taxes. His mocking denials are transparent;  the jig is up; it is time for him to exit stage left. I have said it before and I will repeat it Resign! Resign!! Resign!!!

Remarks by the President on Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction

Rose Garden

10:56 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT:  Good morning, everybody.  Please have a seat.

A week ago today, I sent Congress the American Jobs Act.  It’s a plan that will lead¹ to new jobs² for teachers, for construction workers, for veterans, and for the unemployed³.  It will cut taxes⁴ for every small business owner and virtually every⁵ working man and woman in America.  And the proposals in this jobs bill are the kinds that have been supported by Democrats and Republicans in the past.  So there shouldn’t be any reason for Congress to drag its feet.  They should pass it right away⁶.  I'm ready to sign a bill.  I've got the pens all ready.

Now, as I said before, Congress should pass this bill knowing that every proposal is fully paid for⁷.  The American Jobs Act will not add to our nation’s debt.  And today, I’m releasing a plan that details how to pay for the jobs bill while also paying down our debt⁸ over time.

And this is important, because the health of our economy depends in part on what we do right now to create the conditions where businesses can hire⁹ and middle-class families can feel a basic measure of economic security¹⁰.  But in the long run, our prosperity also depends on our ability to pay down the massive debt we’ve accumulated over the past decade in a way that allows us to meet our responsibilities to each other and to the future.

During this past decade, profligate spending in Washington¹¹, tax cuts for multi-millionaires and billionaires¹², the cost of two wars¹³, and the recession turned a record surplus into a yawning deficit, and that left us with a big pile of IOUs¹⁴.  If we don’t act, that burden will ultimately fall on our children’s shoulders.  If we don’t act, the growing debt will eventually crowd out everything else, preventing us from investing in things like education, or sustaining programs like Medicare.

So Washington has to live within its means¹⁵.  The government has to do what families across this country have been doing for years.  We have to cut what we can’t afford to pay for what really matters.  We need to invest¹⁶ in what will promote hiring and economic growth now while still providing the confidence that will come with a plan that reduces our deficits over the long-term.
 
These principles were at the heart of the deficit framework that I put forward in April.  It was an approach to shrink the deficit as a share of the economy, but not to do so so abruptly with spending cuts that would hamper growth or prevent us from helping small businesses and middle-class families get back on their feet.

It was an approach that said we need to go through the budget line-by-line looking for waste, without shortchanging education¹⁷ and basic scientific research and road construction¹⁸, because those things are essential to our future.  And it was an approach that said we shouldn't balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the middle class¹⁹; that for us to solve this problem, everybody, including the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations²⁰, have to pay their fair share. ²¹

Now, during the debt ceiling debate, I had hoped to negotiate a compromise with the Speaker of the House that fulfilled these principles and achieved the $4 trillion in deficit reduction that leaders in both parties have agreed we need -- a grand bargain that would have strengthened our economy, instead of weakened it.  Unfortunately, the Speaker walked away from a balanced package.  What we agreed to instead wasn’t all that grand.  But it was a start -- roughly $1 trillion in cuts to domestic spending and defense spending.

Everyone knows we have to do more, and a special joint committee of Congress is assigned to find more deficit reduction. So, today, I’m laying out a set of specific proposals to finish what we started this summer -- proposals that live up to the principles I’ve talked about from the beginning.  It’s a plan that reduces our debt by more than $4 trillion, and achieves these savings in a way that is fair -- by asking everybody to do their part so that no one has to bear too much of the burden on their own.

All told, this plan cuts $2 in spending for every dollar in new revenues.  In addition to the $1 trillion in spending that we’ve already cut from the budget, our plan makes additional spending cuts that need to happen if we’re to solve this problem. We reform agricultural subsidies -- subsidies that a lot of times pay large farms for crops that they don't grow.  We make modest adjustments to federal retirement programs²².  We reduce by tens of billions of dollars the tax money that goes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  We also ask the largest financial firms -- companies saved by tax dollars during the financial crisis -- to repay the American people for every dime that we spent.  And we save an additional $1 trillion as we end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan²³.

These savings are not only counted as part of our plan, but as part of the budget plan²⁴ that nearly every Republican on the House voted for.

Finally, this plan includes structural reforms to reduce the cost of health care²⁵ in programs like Medicare and Medicaid.  Keep in mind we've already included a number of reforms in the health care law, which will go a long way towards controlling these costs.  But we're going to have to do a little more.  This plan reduces wasteful subsidies and erroneous payments while changing some incentives that often lead to excessive health care costs.  It makes prescriptions more affordable through faster approval of generic drugs.  We’ll work with governors to make Medicaid more efficient and more accountable.  And we’ll change the way we pay for health care.  Instead of just paying for procedures, providers will be paid more when they improve results -- and such steps will save money and improve care.

These changes are phased in slowly to strengthen Medicare and Medicaid over time.  Because while we do need to reduce health care costs, I’m not going to allow that to be an excuse for turning Medicare into a voucher program that leaves seniors at the mercy of the insurance industry.  And I'm not going to stand for balancing the budget by denying or reducing health care for poor children or those with disabilities.  So we will reform Medicare and Medicaid, but we will not abandon the fundamental commitment that this country has kept for generations.

And by the way, that includes our commitment to Social Security.  I've said before, Social Security is not the primary cause of our deficits, but it does face long-term challenges as our country grows older.  And both parties are going to need to work together on a separate track to strengthen Social Security for our children and our grandchildren²⁶.

So this is how we can reduce spending:  by scouring the budget for every dime of waste and inefficiency, by reforming government spending, and by making modest adjustments to Medicare and Medicaid.  But all these reductions in spending, by themselves, will not solve our fiscal problems.  We can’t just cut our way out of this hole.  It’s going to take a balanced approach.  If we’re going to make spending cuts -- many of which we wouldn’t make if we weren’t facing such large budget deficits -- then it’s only right that we ask everyone to pay their fair share.

You know, last week, Speaker of the House John Boehner gave a speech about the economy.  And to his credit, he made the point that we can’t afford the kind of politics that says it’s “my way or the highway.”  I was encouraged by that.  Here’s the problem: In that same speech, he also came out against any plan to cut the deficit that includes any additional revenues whatsoever.  He said -- I'm quoting him -- there is “only one option.”  And that option and only option relies entirely on cuts.  That means slashing education, surrendering the research necessary to keep America’s technological edge in the 21st century, and allowing our critical public assets like highways and bridges and airports to get worse.  It would cripple our competiveness and our ability to win the jobs of the future.  And it would also mean asking sacrifice of seniors and the middle class and the poor, while asking nothing of the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations.
 
So the Speaker says we can’t have it "my way or the highway," and then basically says, my way -- or the highway.  (Laughter.)  That’s not smart.  It’s not right.  If we’re going to meet our responsibilities, we have to do it together.

Now, I’m proposing real, serious cuts in spending.  When you include the $1 trillion in cuts I’ve already signed into law, these would be among the biggest cuts in spending in our history. But they’ve got to be part of a larger plan that’s balanced –- a plan that asks the most fortunate among us to pay their fair share²¹, just like everybody else.

And that’s why this plan eliminates tax loopholes that primarily go to the wealthiest taxpayers and biggest corporations –- tax breaks that small businesses and middle-class families don’t get²⁷.  And if tax reform doesn't get done, this plan asks the wealthiest Americans to go back to paying the same rates that they paid during the 1990s, before the Bush tax cuts.

I promise it’s not because anybody looks forward to the prospects of raising taxes or paying more taxes.  I don’t.  In fact, I’ve cut taxes for the middle class and for small businesses, and through the American Jobs Act, we’d cut taxes again to promote hiring and put more money into the pockets of people.  But we can’t afford these special lower rates for the wealthy -– rates, by the way, that were meant to be temporary.  Back when these first -- these tax cuts, back in 2001, 2003, were being talked about, they were talked about temporary measures.  We can’t afford them when we’re running these big deficits.²⁸

Now, I am also ready to work with Democrats and Republicans to reform our entire tax code²⁹, to get rid of the decades of accumulated loopholes, special interest carve-outs, and other tax expenditures that stack the deck against small business owners and ordinary families who can’t afford Washington lobbyists or fancy accountants.  Our tax code is more than 10,000 pages long. If you stack up all the volumes, they’re almost five feet tall.  That means that how much you pay often depends less on what you make and more on how well you can game the system, and that's especially true of the corporate tax code³⁰.

We’ve got one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, but it’s riddled with exceptions and special interest loopholes.  So some companies get out paying a lot of taxes, while the rest of them end up having to foot the bill.  And this makes our entire economy less competitive and our country a less desirable place to do business.

That has to change.  Our tax code shouldn’t give an advantage to companies with the best-connected lobbyists³¹.  It should give an advantage to companies that invest in the United States of America and create jobs in the United States of America.  And we can lower the corporate rate if we get rid of all these special deals.

So I am ready, I am eager, to work with Democrats and Republicans to reform the tax code to make it simpler, make it fairer, and make America more competitive.  But any reform plan will have to raise revenue³² to help close our deficit.  That has to be part of the formula.  And any reform should follow another simple principle:  Middle-class families shouldn’t pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires³³.  That’s pretty straightforward.  It’s hard to argue against that.  Warren Buffett’s secretary shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett.  There is no justification for it.

It is wrong that in the United States of America, a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker who earns $50,000 should pay higher tax rates than somebody pulling in $50 million.  Anybody who says we can’t change the tax code to correct that, anyone who has signed some pledge to protect every single tax loophole so long as they live, they should be called out.  They should have to defend that unfairness -- explain why somebody who's making  $50 million a year in the financial markets should be paying 15 percent on their taxes, when a teacher making $50,000 a year is paying more than that -- paying a higher rate.  They ought to have to answer for it.  And if they’re pledged to keep that kind of unfairness in place, they should remember, the last time I checked the only pledge that really matters is the pledge we take to uphold the Constitution³⁴.

Now, we’re already hearing the usual defenders of these kinds of loopholes saying this is just “class warfare.”  I reject the idea that asking a hedge fund manager to pay the same tax rate as a plumber³⁵ or a teacher is class warfare.  I think it’s just the right the thing to do.  I believe the American middle class, who've been pressured relentlessly for decades, believe it’s time that they were fought for as hard³⁶ as the lobbyists and some lawmakers have fought to protect special treatment for billionaires and big corporations.

Nobody wants to punish success in America.  What’s great about this country is our belief that anyone can make it and everybody should be able to try -– the idea that any one of us can open a business or have an idea and make us millionaires or billionaires.  This is the land of opportunity.  That’s great.  All I’m saying is that those who have done well, including me, should pay our fair share in taxes to contribute to the nation that made our success possible.  We shouldn’t get a better deal than ordinary families get.  And I think most wealthy Americans would agree if they knew this would help us grow the economy and deal with the debt that threatens our future.

It comes down to this:  We have to prioritize.  Both parties agree that we need to reduce the deficit by the same amount -- by $4 trillion.  So what choices are we going to make to reach that goal?  Either we ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share in taxes, or we’re going to have to ask seniors to pay more for Medicare.  We can’t afford to do both.

Either we gut education and medical research, or we’ve got to reform the tax code so that the most profitable corporations have to give up tax loopholes that other companies don’t get.  We can’t afford to do both.

This is not class warfare.  It’s math.  (Laughter.)  The money is going to have to come from someplace.  And if we’re not willing to ask those who've done extraordinarily well to help America close the deficit and we are trying to reach that same target of $4 trillion, then the logic, the math says everybody else has to do a whole lot more:  We’ve got to put the entire burden on the middle class and the poor.  We’ve got to scale back on the investments that have always helped our economy grow.  We’ve got to settle for second-rate roads and second-rate bridges and second-rate airports, and schools that are crumbling.

That’s unacceptable to me.  That’s unacceptable to the American people.  And it will not happen on my watch.  I will not support -- I will not support -- any plan that puts all the burden for closing our deficit on ordinary Americans.  And I will veto any bill that changes benefits for those who rely on Medicare but does not raise serious revenues by asking the wealthiest Americans or biggest corporations to pay their fair share.  We are not going to have a one-sided deal that hurts the folks who are most vulnerable.

None of the changes I’m proposing are easy or politically convenient.  It’s always more popular to promise the moon and leave the bill for after the next election or the election after that.  That’s been true since our founding.  George Washington grappled with this problem.  He said, “Towards the payment of debts, there must be revenue; that to have revenue there must be taxes; [and] no taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant.”  He understood that dealing with the debt is -- these are his words -- “always a choice of difficulties.”  But he also knew that public servants weren’t elected to do what was easy; they weren’t elected to do what was politically advantageous.  It’s our responsibility to put country before party.  It’s our responsibility to do what’s right for the future.

And that’s what this debate is about.  It’s not about numbers on a ledger; it’s not about figures on a spreadsheet.  It’s about the economic future of this country, and it’s about whether we will do what it takes to create jobs and growth and opportunity while facing up to the legacy of debt that threatens everything we’ve built over generations.

And it’s also about fairness.  It’s about whether we are, in fact, in this together, and we’re looking out for one another.  We know what’s right.  It’s time to do what’s right. ³⁸

Thank you very much.  (Applause.)

1. If the act will "lead to" new jobs, who will follow? Where is the demand for the goods and services to be produced by those new hires? Where is the money to pay their recruiting costs,  wages, benefits & payroll taxes while waiting for markets to develop?  How many jobs will this act lead to, and how much will each of them cost the taxpayers?
2. Have you considered restoring the old jobs that were lost?  Millions would be happy to have their old jobs back. 
3. New Jobs: for unionized labor only; so that their dues will flow into your campaign war chest.  When you list beneficiaries, you are selecting winners-- the favored few who vote for you-- and losers; that is not the proper role of government. 
4. How will you "pay for" those tax cuts?  How large will they be: will they be enough to pay for one re-hire for each small business? 
5. Extraordinary claims call for extraordinary proof. Prove that every small business will have its taxes significantly cut. Prove that "virtually every working" man and woman will have their taxes significantly cut. Show us the money!
6. It could wait for months, then for weeks until after your luxury vacation to Martha's Vineyard but now it seems to be an item of the utmost urgency. We are not so stupid; we remember how you rushed through Obama Don't Care with such great urgency that they had to "pass it to find out what's in it".  We want the House of Representatives to deliberate carefully before killing this bill.
7. A proposal is only "fully paid for" if you have ready cash in your checking account; cash not needed for operating expenses or already allocated to something else. Taxes are dynamic, not static. There is no assurance that your tax proposals will raise the anticipated revenue.
   
8. If you want to reduce the debt,. first quit borrowing, then start making periodic payments on the principle instead of rolling over the debt.  Quit wasting borrowed money!
9. Investment in new hires requires surplus funds over and above anticipated operating costs & inventory.  You can't cut business taxes enough to finance hiring.  Businesses require profits.  They need increased sales and increased profit margins. Increased demand must proceed  hiring.   Time bombs such as increased costs and taxes associated with Obama Don't Care  and new energy related regulations and taxes militate against hiring.   If you want to create jobs, remove those artificial impediments immediately.
   
10.  The threat of unemployment is a major factor in economic insecurity and lack of confidence but it is not the only factor.  Energy costs, particularly motor fuel and heating oil are at the top of the list of factors detrimental to consumer confidence because they raise the price of everything.  When you can't afford to fill your fuel tank, your ability to get to and from work is jeopardized.  The remedy is obvious: remove all federally imposed artificial barriers to domestic petroleum exploration, production, transportation and refining.Increasing the supply and reducing the price of fuel is a vital component without which no economic recovery plan can succeed.
11. The Democrat Party bears most of the blame for profligate spending; the RINOs in Congress share that blame.  When Republican Presidents succumbed to the blandishments of spending cuts in return for tax increases, the spending cuts never materialized., they are always a fond dream, just over the horizon.
    
12. "Tax cuts for multi-millionaires and billionaires" waves the red flag of class warfare; the politics of envy.  Besides being a threat and promise to strangle the golden goose, these class warfare attacks are part of an escalating rabble rousing campaign designed to foment riots and race war.  We recognize what you are doing, and we find it beneath contempt.  Those with surplus funds, over and above their ordinary living expenses, are the ones who invest, making hiring, innovation and new products possible.  When their disposable income is reduced through tax increases, investment will be the first casualty.  Consumption of luxury goods and services will be the second casualty, resulting in decreased income and job loss for those involved in their production and distribution.

    Mr. President, you are sowing envy, hatred & division when we need unity more than ever. You are threatening reduced economic growth when we need growth most.  Your policies are counter productive, reducing instead of increasing hiring.  The time has come for you to resign. 

13. FDR's Socialist agenda did not pull us out of the Great Depression, do you have a clue what did?  The real estate bubble was the major factor in this depression. What party was behind that artificial expansion?  What role did Barney Frank & Chris Dodd play in it?  Who refused to reform Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac?  How much cheaper would the counter attack on Afghanistan have been if we had nuked that den of demon spawn?  How many American lives would have been saved?  How many terrorists and tyrants would be having second thoughts about attacking us?
14. When revenues declined, you escalated spending. What did TARP, Stimulus & Porkulus accomplish?  Where did that money go except to your cronies & contributors? 
15. No, damn you!! Washington must live within our means!!! Everything Washington gets comes out of our pockets! You are taxing us to death and ruining us with artificially inflated energy prices.
16.  Investment comes from surplus. When there is no surplus, there can be no investment!
17. Education is a state and local function, not federal.
18. Have you ever heard about the Highway Trust Fund?  Its purpose is federal highway construction and maintenance. 
19. There you go again, rabble rousing with class envy.  Nobody is suggesting "balancing the budget on the backs of the poor" except you. 
20. These class warfare attacks must come to an end, preferably prior to January 20, 2012.
21. Define "fair share"; quantify it. How much is fair? Justify your answer without appeal to emotion.
22. Start with the benefit packages received by the President & Congress.
23. Those wars are not won.  The lid will come off of Iraq when we leave, and Iran will take over, with terrible consequences for the long term.  The war in Afghanistan is lost so long as the population & government remain Islamic.  Until there is no Islam there is no victory, there is a loss and a total waste, your refusal to identify the enemy and your suicidal rules of engagement are wasting American blood & treasure. When our troops come home, you will find an alternative way to waste that money.
24. Where is your 2011 budget?  Where is your 1010 budget? When will you submit your 2012 budget?
25. Really? Or are you screwing care providers and calling it cost reduction?
26. Translation: import more Mexicans & Muslims in hopes that they will breed workers to pay taxes to support us geezers. In reality, they will add to the welfare burden, not the tax coffers.
27. Corporations do not pay taxes, they pass them on to consumers. The middle class and poor will get stuck with the knives you throw at the "biggest corporations".  You are using us as human shields in your class warfare.
28. What we can't afford is your spendthrift ways.  Shrub's tax rate cuts brought in revenue, they did not reduce it. Everyone knows that you are playing class warfare; divide & conquer and we won't accept it.
29.  How about the Alternative Minimum Tax, which was designed to snag the rich and now eviscerates the middle class? Your party refuses to fix that problem, asserting that  "we can't afford it". The telephone tax was supposed to be temporary. The income tax was supposed to be limited to the millionaires. We all know how those promises turned out.
30. Who wrote that complex code? Which party ran Congress for 50 years, and held the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee?
31. Do you mean General Electric?
32. Retarded members of your party understand neither economics nor mathematics. Multiplication problems have two inputs, not one. Revenues can be increased by broadening the base more easily than by increasing the rate. Economic growth will broaden the tax base. Raising rates reduces growth and narrows the tax base.
33. Why should anyone pay higher taxes?  Please answer that question rationally, without appeal to emotion, particularly envy. Is Buffet paying more in net taxes or less than his secretary?  Why should any income be taxed twice?
34. Since when do you give a damn about the Constitution? When you rammed through your unconstitutional medical insurance mandate?  Kiss off, hypocrite!
35. The capital gains rate is lower because that money has already been taxed twice, once to a corporation and once to the dividend earner.  If you want corporations to be able to sell stock so that they can grow and hire more workers, then you need to have a free flowing stock market.  Capital gains rates and rules dry up that flow, creating artificial dams. Your class warfare policy is counterproductive.
36. Fighting against the "wealthy" is not fighting for the middle class, it is killing their jobs and employment prospects.  Your class warfare tactics must be exposed and rejected.
37. Do what is right, Mr. President: resign. Take your Vice President, Secretary of State & President of the Senate with you and elevate the Speaker of the House to the office you are unqualified for and unworthy to hold.

The OIC Remembers the Victims of 9/11 on its 10th Anniversary The OIC did not condemn the Accursed Abomination, it celebrated it, smirking & snickering at your gullibility.  Read between the lines and between the words, scratch the surface and delve into Islam's canon to discover the unpleasant objective factual reality.  The  OIC's malignant pretense is reproduced below with superscripts linked to my revelatory evidence and comments.

The OIC Remembers the Victims of 9/11on its 10th Anniversary

Date: 11/09/2011 -

On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) joins the international community in remembering the horrendous and cowardly act of terrorism and the tragic loss of thousands of innocent human lives. The OIC was among the first in expressing shock and horror at the dastardly terrorist attack and in condemning it in the strongest terms¹. 

The OIC seizes this opportunity to reiterate its firm position of condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and to underscore that terrorism is a repugnant malady that seeks to destroy the fundamental ethos of humanity. This principled position of the OIC against terrorism and extremism is clearly stated in the OIC Ten Year Programme of Action adopted by the Heads of State and Government in 2005.²The perpetrators of terror have no respect for human life or dignity³ and pursue an agenda of hate⁴ and destruction⁵. They have no character, follow no faith⁶ and live by a dogma of violence⁷. The OIC that is guided by principles of peace and tolerance and moderation and modernization, is a major partner of the international, community in combating terrorism. In doing so, the OIC Member States have themselves become the targets of terrorists and have paid a heavy price in terms of human life and damage to property. The OIC endeavors to combat terrorism at its roots⁸ whatever its possible underpinnings, whether political, economic, social or technological. This stand has been evidenced over the past decades through the Organization’s endeavors to mobilize energies and efforts to fight against terrorism. The OIC’s efforts were further strengthened with the establishment of the Convention on Combating Terrorism in July 1999. Perhaps, it is the only available Convention which defines terrorism⁹, so far. 

In its firm belief that combating terrorism requires a multi dimensional approach and not only the use of military means to guarantee sustainable peace, the OIC attaches enormous importance to identifying and addressing the root causes of conflicts and disputes¹⁰. Dealing with conflict through the comprehensive approach obviously carries huge potential benefits. 

In this regard, the OIC has been vocal in calling for historical reconciliation among different religions, cultures, and civilizations¹¹, which would be seen as catalyst to debunk the myth of “clash of civilizations”¹² elevated by the tragic events of 9/11, which have, also, helped, unfortunately, the Islamophobes to pursue with their discriminatory agenda towards Islam and Muslims. It is worth mentioning that the OIC has always emphasized that the international community should act in the spirit of moderation and dialogue to eliminate all forms of hatred, intolerance and discrimination.¹³ The OIC believes that the limits of discrimination and racism have already been defined by existing international human rights instruments, including the consensually adopted HRC Resolution 16/18. It is equally important to recall the need to observe the UNGA Resolution 62/272 of September 5, 2008, which negates the association of Islam to terrorism.¹⁴ The OIC, in this regard, calls for the full adherence¹⁵ to these and other similar resolutions and instruments. 

While commending the initiatives of the international community on combating terrorism, the OIC reiterates its readiness to cooperate with any credible initiative in addressing the root causes and consequences of terrorism with a view to having a safer world free from the evil faces of terrorism for our future generations.

1. This is all I could find: "After the terrorist attacks on the 11th of September 2001, the OIC issued a statement condemning the « brutal and criminal » acts, stating that they are in contradiction wth the teachings of Islam. The statementunderlined the need to distinguish the terrorism practised by groups and individuals from the national resistance of peoples for liberation from occupation and colonialism."  Strongest possible terms? "Allah" & "damn"  are missing. That condemnation falls far short. 

2. VI.      Combating terrorism

    

   1.            Emphasize the condemnation of terrorism in all its forms, and reject any justification or rationalization for it, consider it as a global phenomenon that is not connected with any religion, race, color, or country, and distinguish it from the legitimate resistance to foreign occupation, which does not sanction the killing of innocent civilians.

    

   2.            Introduce comprehensive qualitative changes to national laws and legislations in order to criminalize all terrorist practices as well as all practices to support, finance, or instigate terrorism.

    

   3.            Affirm commitment to the OIC Convention on Combating Terrorism, participate actively in international counter-terrorism efforts, and endeavor to implement the recommendations of the International Conference on Combating Terrorism, held in Riyadh in February 2005, including the establishment of an International Center for Combating Terrorism, as well as the recommendations of the Special Meeting of OIC Foreign Ministers on Terrorism, held in Kuala Lumpur in April 2002.

    

   4.            Support efforts to develop an International Code of Conduct to Combat Terrorism and to convene an international conference or a special session of the UN General Assembly to reiterate the international consensus on establishing a comprehensive strategy to combat this dangerous phenomenon.

3. [...]"I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us[...][Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387] Islam does not hold our lives & property sacred until we become Muslims at sword point. It is Islam that disrespects life & liberty. 
4. 1:6. Guide us to the Straight Way  

   1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).  
   2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.

   2:162. They will abide therein (under the curse in Hell), their punishment will neither be lightened, nor will they be reprieved.
   98:6. Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur'ân and Prophet Muhammad ()) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.

5. 3:110. You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad  and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh - and rebellious against Allâh's Command).

   3:111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped.

   3:112. Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allâh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allâh, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allâh) and used to transgress beyond bounds (in Allâh's disobedience, crimes and sins).

   59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).

6. What did they say when they slit the throats of the flight crews? "Allahhu Akbar"; "follow no faith"? What sort of Muslim follows no faith?
   
7. Bukhari  Ch 61 # 2756: ...It is mentioned from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "My provision has been placed under the shadow of my spear, and abasement and humility have been placed on the one who disobeys my command.

   2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

   8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.

   9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

8. Terrorism is rooted in the Qur'an & sunnah.  To combat terrorism, it is necessary to abjure & curse the following ayat & ahadith without any hesitation, evasion or mental reservation whatsoever. No Muslim will abjure & curse these verses because by so doing, he would sign his own death warrant. I refer doubters & dissenters to Reliance of the Traveller, O8.1 & O8.7-7.

   3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers).

   8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."
   
   8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.

   8:60. And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allâh and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allâh does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allâh shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.

   9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad  when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn

   33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

   33:27. And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things.

   59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
   
   59:13. Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) are more awful as a fear in their (Jews of Banî An-Nadîr) breasts than Allâh. That is because they are a people who comprehend not (the Majesty and Power of Allâh).

   Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 7, Number 331:
   Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
   The Prophet said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me.
   1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey.
   2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
   3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me.
   4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection).
   5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.

   Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
    Narrated Abu Huraira:

       Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

   33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.

   Moe is the Muslim role model; what did he do? How was he made victorious?  There is the tap root of terrorism.

9. OIC Convention on Combating Terrorism

   
   

   "Terrorism” means any act of violence or threat thereof notwithstanding its motives or intentions perpetrated to carry out an individual or collective criminal plan with the aim of terrorizing people or threatening to harm them or imperiling their lives, honor, freedoms, security or rights or exposing the environment or any facility or public or private property to hazards or occupying or seizing them, or endangering a national resource, or international facilities, or threatening the stability, territorial integrity, political unity or sovereignty of independent States 

   
   This paragraph from the convention's preamble shows us exactly why the U.N. is not able to define terrorism:  The OIC refuses to admit the fact that the PLO, HAMAS & Hezbollah are terrorists.

   Confirming the legitimacy of the right of peoples to struggle against foreign occupation and colonialist and racist regimes by all means, including armed struggle to liberate their territories and attain their rights to self-determination and independence in compliance with the purposes and principles of the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations

10. The real cause is Allah's damnable jihad imperatives enshrined in Surah Al-Anfal & Surah At-Taubah.
11. How is reconciliation possible between Islam and Judaism?  "Worst of living creatures", "those who earned Allah's wrath", "fight those who", "He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment."[7:167], "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.""[Sahih Bukhari 4.52.177].  
12. The clash is between civilization and barbarism represented by Islam.
13. Start by eliminating Islam, if you have any common sense.
14. UNGA Resolution 62/272 does not mention Islam or its association with terrorism.  Other resolutions do, on the insistence of the OIC.
    10/22

    •  
      • 6 Expresses deep concern in this respect that Islam is frequently and wrongly
        associated with human rights violations and terrorism and, in this regard, regrets the laws or
        administrative measures specifically designed to control and monitor Muslim minorities, thereby
        stigmatizing them and legitimizing the discrimination they experience;
      • 7  Reaffirms the commitment of all States to the implementation, in an integrated
        manner, of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, adopted without a vote by the
        General Assembly in its resolution 60/288 of 8 September 2006 and reaffirmed by the Assembly
        in its resolution 62/272 of 5 September 2008, in which it clearly reaffirms, inter alia, that
        terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or
        group, as well as the need to reinforce the commitment of the international community to
        promote, among other things, a culture of peace and respect for all religions, beliefs and cultures
        and to prevent the defamation of religions;
    • A/C.3/62/L.35
      • Further expresses its deep concern that Islam is frequently and wrongly
        associated with human rights violations and terrorism;
15. Islam demands that it be shielded from exposure; that we be prevented from lifting the lid of the septic tank so that the world can see and smell Islam as it really is.  I intend, whenever I see that demonic demand reiterated, to use it as an occasion for lifting that lid.  Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. This fatal fact is established by the numerous ayat and two hadith which sanctify & exemplify terrorism. 

    Yes, the OIC remembers the accursed abomination, with swelling pride & satisfaction at the havoc wrought by the magnificent 19, who earned Brownie Points towards better seats in Allah's Celestial Bordello  by steps taken to injure & enrage disbelievers ten years ago.  No, they do not condemn terrorism because to do so would make them apostates, subject to execution. 

    Islam is a package deal: all or nothing. It is not possible to renounce terrorism without renouncing Islam, which is why they won't do it.  From this day forward, you can ask any Muslim: "how did Allah make Muhammad victorious?". When he lies to you, you can cite Sahih Bukhari, 1.7.331: "Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. " and 4.52.220: "I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy),"

    From this day forward, when any Muslim asserts falsely that terrorism is harram, you can cite the numerous ayat which sanctify it, the best of which, although indirect, is 9:120, which promises rewards for any step taken to injure or enrage disbelievers.  8:27 & 59: 2 fit together hand in glove, forming a congruent pattern which can not be denied.

• punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson
• Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).

Obamination: Accursed Abomination 9-11 Dissembled

The name of the occasion connects it with Obamination's "hope and change" election campaign theme: Remarks by the President at "A Concert for Hope". It seems that he never opens his mouth to speak without re-election being the foremost consideration.   Because of the extreme importance of this subject I will reproduce and respond only to the most infuriating clauses.

And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.

ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers

    If our elected leaders had the courage they blather about, we would have issued the ultimate rebuke: the total eradication of the damnable institution whose execrable doctrines mandated and motivated the Abomination.  We needed to say "You will meet God, who will send you to Hell; we will arrange the meeting."

These past 10 years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life.

resolve to defend

    If our elected leaders had the resolve to defend America, Afghanistan & Pakistan would be smoking craters and the surviving Islamic dominated nations would be on probation.  When stung by a wasp, you destroy the nest so that you will not be stung again. Islam is the nest.

Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world.

cannot hide from justice

    It took a decade to get bin ladin, if we really got him. We could have finished him off at Tora Bora. We should have. But killing the General does not win the war. We must destroy the enemy's will and capacity to wage war. Because our enemy is threatened with eternal damnation if they do not wage war and promised admission to Paradise if they do, they can not be defeated without destroying either their faith or their bodies.

    There were two Barbary wars because we did not use enough force in the first. Take a clue from history.  There will be no more attacks when there are no more Muslims.  Until that happy day, there will be more attacks.

Too many will never come home.

never come home

    Most of them will come home in boxes or on stretchers because of the suicidal rules of engagement imposed by Obamination.  All will return dead or disabled because Shrub sent men where he should have sent nukes. 

But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.

commitment to leave those lands to free people

    Muslims are not free people, they are Allah's slaves.  Allah's slaves fight in his cause, global domination,  killing others and being killed.  They can only be free if you remove Allah's yoke from their necks.  While the populations of Afghanistan & Iraq remain Muslim, our blood and treasure are wasted.  So long as their constitutions are founded on the Qur'an, we have not won, we have lost because they will return to status quo ante as sopn as we pull out.

future of peace

    There can be no future of peace while Islam exists with sufficient numbers and wealth to wage war.  When you are told that you go to war and Paradise or sit at home and go to Hell, you go to war, if you are a believer.

    Examine the jihad imperatives in 8:39 & 9:29.  Those are outcome oriented fight... until loops. Until resistance ceases and only Allah is worshiped on a global scale; until Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians are subjugated, humiliated & extorted.  Exactly what part of "jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist)" do you not comprehend?

    Imam A;-Shafi'i has a clue for you: "The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms.

 hold fast to our freedoms

    `When Rev. Terry Jones proposed to burn a Qur'an, how did you respond?  How did your top General and Secretaries of Defense and State respond? If you hold fast to our freedoms, why is your Department of State cooperating with the UN and the OIC to implement HRC Resolution 16/18, the purpose of which is to criminalize the publication of this blog post? 

Yes, we’re more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense.

vigilant against those who threaten us

    While Muslims will use any disguise, any ruse to evade detection in their attacks, little old ladies who really are Christian citizens in wheel chairs  are not threats, we do not need to be vigilant against them.  Likewise little six year old girls, Christians and citizens like their parents, are not threats. Muslims are threats. Why do we let them fly?  Why do we allow them to enter and remain in this country?

Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.

souls are enriched in  mosques

    You falsely imply that Islam is a spiritual religion, the functional equivalent of Christianity. It is not. Islam is universal malevolence. Islam was contrived for the personal emolument of its founder through  plunder, extortion & taxation.   Islamic benevolence & charity are strictly for Muslims. The Qur'an has a clue for you.

9:23. O you who believe! Take not for Auliyâ' (supporters and helpers) your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).

We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust.

not succumbed to suspicion, mistrust

    Shrub consulted in the White House with Muslims who have since been convicted and sentenced for terrorism related offenses. One of them established the Muslim Chaplaincy program in our armed forces.

    The Times Square Bomber, when asked by a Judge about his oath of citizenship, replied "I lied.". The concept of al-Taqiyya makes trusting Muslims impossible. "Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' "[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

The United States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion.

war against Islam or any other religion

    Islam is not a religion, it is a Deen: way of life. In object oriented programming terminology, it is an object with properties and methods. Its religious property serves as a troop motivator by means of a carrot and stick. The carrot is  admission to Paradise, flowing with rivers of wine and populated with houris who grow new hymens after they are used by the Muslims. The stick is eternal damnation. 

    Islam's economic method is jihad, which brings in revenue through plunder and extortion. Jihad is defined as "war against non-Muslims." Jihad is undertaken on Islamic initiative, it is offensive, not defensive.  I have another clue for you, lest any doubt remain. Jihad is the original religion of Islam.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

Jihad, agriculture & trade are alternative economic models. If Muslims abandon jihad, Allah will curse them.  When the Barbary Pirates sacked our shipping, Thomas Jefferson and  John Q. Adams inquired by what right they attacked us. The answer holds a clue for you.

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman (or Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War]

Islam declared and is prosecuting war against us. Our leaders are too stupid to reciprocate.

And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America.  They will remember that we’ve overcome slavery and Civil War; we’ve overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism.  They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy –- reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man -– also give us the opportunity to perfect our union.  That is what we honor on days of national commemoration –- those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.

nothing can break the will

    What will? Ho Chi Minh wore us down in a decade, serving as an example for Islam. We are leaving Iraq with a Muslim population and Islamic law. Every life, limb and dollar spent there has been wasted.

overcome terrorism

    Yeah, right. Rumor has it that three terrorists are planning to attack us with truck bombs this weekend. We have not overcome.

our democracy is durable

    Democracies are prone to mob rule, to converting government to an agent of plunder. Our wise founders gave us a republic,  with a strict constitution to prevent those evils to which democracies succumb.

perfect our union

    If ever there was an occasion for refraining from campaigning for re-election, this was it. But Obama could not restrain himself, he is obsessive in his promotion of the Socialist agenda. 

With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.

the ideals that define our nation

    The ideals defining our nation are the rights of man, dignity, equality & self-government constrained by the constitution. Socialism, Fascism, Crony Capitalism, multiculturalism and tolerance of evil are not our national ideals.

Obamination: Forgetting the Abomination-9-11

Obamination: Forgetting the Abomination-9-11 This is a campaign speech, not a proper remembrance of the victims of Accursed Abomination.  Obamination continues to lie about the identity & character of the enemy.  He continues to claim the enemy as an allie.  He continues to demand that we leave the enemy fifth column in our midst to attack and out breed us. He continues to depect abject defeat as victory.

    Obamination wants us to overlook, neglect & forget the fact that we were attacked by Muslims  motivated by the damnable doctrines, threats & promises of Allah.  He wants us to welcome their fifth columnists, retain them in our midst and ignore the fact that their presence is a clear, proximate and persistent danger. Two of the three terrorists now being sought are citizens. Obamination wants us to look the other way.

  This is altogether disgusting.  I express my disgust in 22 comments in an enumerated list  Each comment is linked to a superscript in the text. Click the superscripts to read the related comment, then use your back button to return to your place in the pile of feces.

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
Saturday September 10, 2011

This weekend, we’re coming together, as one nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.  We’re remembering the lives we lost—nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children.  We’re reaffirming our commitment to always keep faith with their families¹. 

We’re honoring the heroism of first responders who risked their lives—and gave their lives—to save others.  And we’re giving thanks to all who serve on our behalf, especially our troops and military families—our extraordinary 9/11 Generation.

At the same time, even as we reflect on a difficult decade, we must look forward, to the future we will build together².  That includes staying strong and confident in the face of any threat.  And thanks to the tireless efforts of our military personnel and our intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security professionals—there should be no doubt.  Today, America is stronger³ and al Qaeda⁴ is on the path to defeat⁵.

We’ve taken the fight to al Qaeda like never before⁶.  Over the past two and a half years, more senior al Qaeda leaders have been eliminated than at any time since 9/11.  And thanks to the remarkable courage and precision of our forces, we finally delivered justice to Osama bin Laden⁷.

We’ve strengthened the partnerships⁸ and tools we need to prevail in this war against al Qaeda—working closer with allies and partners; reforming intelligence to better detect and disrupt plots; investing in our Special Forces so terrorists have no safe haven.

We’re constantly working to improve the security of our homeland as well—at our airports, ports and borders; enhancing aviation security and screening⁹; increasing support for our first responders; and working closer than ever with states, cities and communities.

A decade after 9/11, it’s clear for all the world to see—the terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, or the endurance of our values¹⁰.   

They wanted to terrorize us, but, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear¹¹.  Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake—they will keep trying to hit us again.  But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant.  We’re doing everything in our power to protect our people.  And no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.

They wanted to draw us in to endless wars, sapping our strength and confidence as a nation¹².  But even as we put relentless pressure on al Qaeda, we’re ending the war in Iraq and beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.  Because after a hard decade of war¹³, it is time for nation building here at home¹⁴.

They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defines us as a people¹⁵.  But we will not succumb to division or suspicion¹⁶. We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true to the values¹⁷, freedoms and diversity that make us unique¹⁸ among nations.

And they wanted to undermine our place in the world.  But a decade later, we’ve shown that America doesn’t hunker down and hide behind walls of mistrust.  We’ve forged new partnerships with nations around the world to meet the global challenges that no nation can face alone.  And across the Middle East and North Africa a new generation of citizens is showing that the future belongs to those that want to build¹⁹, not destroy.   

Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushed up those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit.  In the decade since, a new generation has stepped forward to serve and keep us safe.  In their memory, in their name, we will never waver.  We will protect the country²⁰ we love and pass it safer, stronger²¹ and more prosperous²² to the next generation.

---

1. What is the response of the administration when survivors of victims of terror sue sponsors & supporters of terrorism and attempt to collect damages? 
2. To Barack Hussein Obama, every occasion is a political occasion, even the tenth anniversary of the Accursed Abomination is a campaign platform for this president.  Anyone who is aware of this and not deeply & intensely offended by it should burn his voter registration card.
3. America is weaker because you and Shrub wasted lives, blood and treasure by launching and continuing invasions without first defining rational strategic & tactical objectives and by imposing suicidal rules of engagement.  You have shrunk and over extended our armed forces, an open invitation to adventurism & attack.
4. Al-Qaeda is not the enemy. The enemy is Islam. Muhammad, claiming to speak for Allah, declared perpetual war against Jews & Christians. That jihad imperative is enshrined in the Noble Qur'an, Surah At-Taubah 9:29 and described by Tafsir Ibn Kathir as "The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah". That command to wage war against Jews & Christians is confirmed by ahadith including Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 and Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2635. That imperative is codified in the most widely accepted handbook of Shari'ah: Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9.8.   When the Islam first attacked the young nation, Thomas Jefferson and John Q. Adams asked Tripoli's Ambassador by what right they attacked us. His answer speaks volumes, which President Obama seeks to ignore and silence. " The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman (or Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven."[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War]
5. When believers are threatened with eternal damnation if they do not go to war and promised admission to Paradise if they join the jhad they can not be defeated and their jihad permanently ended without either breaking their faith or exterminating them.  Shrub & Obamination have done neither and do not seek to do either. 
6. Al-Qaeda, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen & Islam are one and the same.  I direct doubters & dissenters to the Charter of HAMAS. "Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes." As a wise man wrote, "Its Islam, stupid!".
   
7. Killing leaders neither wins nor ends the war. Generals can be replaced.  Islam will not be defeated short of total mass apostasy or extinction. 
   
8. We do not have Muslim partners. Pakistan is playing a double game. You need to read the Qur'an to comprehend this fatal fact. 
   

   3:28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allâh is the final return.

9. You frisk little girls & old ladies, letting Muslms pass through. If common sense prevailed, Muslims would be entirely excluded from all mass transit and terminals. How did the three terrorists currently being hunted enter the country? 
10. Wars are not won with character, resillience or values, they are won with men and arms dedicated to the purpose of self-preservation. When Obamination says "values" he means multiculteuralism, meaning tolerance of the ultimate evil: intra-species predation.   The term also subsumes the Socialist agenda, after all, this is a campaign speech. 
11. We can not have security and Muslims. Choose one. Vehicular assaults, stabbings, shootings and bombings generate fear and distrust. We waste millions of dollars on airport security because our leaders are not honest and patriotic enough to carryout their Constitutional oaths of office by expelling and excluding the enemy's fifth column.  They need only increase their internet chatter to elevate the fear level. Threats do not need to be real to be effective. 
12. They succeeded. Elleven years without victory is a long time. The public is impatient. Impatience cost us in Korea & Vietnam. Weakness and lack of resolve displayed in Beirut & Somalia showed the enemy that they can attack us without fear of effective retaliation.  So long as there is Islam, there is war, because Islam is perpetual war.  What part of "Fight them until...only Allah is worshiped..." do you not comprehend? While the population of Afghanistan is Muslim and their government is founded on the Qur'an, we are losing, not winning; wasting every drop of blood and dollar we expend in that fruitless invasion. Shrub needed to nuke Afghanistan & Pakistan off the face of the earth. We are paying dearly for his failure to do the right thing.
13. 206 years of war, traitor. The First Barbary War was our initial response to Islamic aggression. We had neither the power nor the resolve to exterminate Islam, so the war continues. Now we have the power but not the will. Failure to make the predator extinct is suicidal stupidity!
14. The anal orifice in the Oval Office will not cease from pushing his Socialist agenda in the most inappropriate circumstances. 3000 people were murdered in cold blood ten years ago and all this traitor can think about on the anniversary of the Accursed Abomination  is advancing Socialism. This day, of all days, is no time for a re-ellection speech.  
15. America is defined by its founding documents: the Declaration of Independence & Constitution. By "unity" he means two things: multiculturalism & voting for him.
16. This phrase qualifies the "unity" in the previous sentence. Several of the recent plotters are either native born or naturalized citizens. One of them told the judge "I lied", regarding his oath of citizenship.  If you are a hypenated American, you ain't an American. American and Muslim are exclusive terms because American denotes fidelity to the God given, inalienable rights of man. Islam means that only Muslims have rights. What part of "O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you,..." do you not comprehend?  What part of "then their blood and property will be sacred to us " do you not understand? Obamination told us to ignore the presence of enemy agence in our midst. While he should be expelling and excluding them, he is telling us to accept them without question.
17. Life! Liberty! Pursuit of happiness!  Those are our values, not multiculturalism & Socialism.
18. The thing that makes America unique is not diversity, by which Obamination means allowing the enemy to dwell among us and attack us by stealth & demographics from within. America is unique because it is founded on the principle that governments are instituted among men to preserve and protect their God given rights. Government is the protector, not the source of our rights, liberty and prosperity.
19. The "new generation" of the "Arab spring" do not want to build. They are Muslims, adherents of Islam. Islam is a way of life: intra-species predation. Its economic basis is pillage, plunder & extortion, not productivity.  One hadith in the collection of Abu Dawud brings out this fact with extreme clarity.  "When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion."
20. Not without expelling & excluding Muslims from its soil and from all mass transit. Not without inducing mass apostasy or nuking them off the face of the earth. American will not be protected by any lesser measures.
21. When you cut the defense budget and waste resources aiding our enemies as you are doing in Libya and as Slick Willy6 did in Serbia, you are weakening, not strengthening this nation.
22.  Our prosperity is reduced, not increased by mounting debt, escalating defecits and a plethora of new & wasteful programs we can not afford. Prosperity requires eliminating the artificial barriers to productivity and production which your administration has erected.  We need creation of wealth, not redistribution of wealth "spread it around".
    

The myth of Radicalization by Vilification

One of my Google Alerts was triggered by an article by Jeffrey Goldberg published by Bloomberg. We plow through 16 of 17 paragraphs before we reach the central point.

 It’s possible that the extreme vilification of Islam one finds in some quarters of the right-wing Internet and talk radio could intensify the alienation and anger of a young Muslim man already exposed to Islamist propaganda -- and perhaps even prod him to violence.

extreme vilification of Islam

    The self-appointed Prophet of Allah, who founded Islam,  married the six year old daughter of his closest friend and consummated the marriage three years later. He included in his Qur'an, a provision for divorcing girls whose marriages were consummated before they had experienced menarche.

    The prophet, rejected Zaynab's parents, fixed up his adopted son with Zaynab. When the time was right, he arranged their divorce and married her. Worse yet, as Allah's last appointed spokesman, he had Allah bless the corrupt union.  His child bride confirmed the obvious: "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."      Moe's sexual proclivities and revelation of situational scripture disqualify him as a Prophet, throwing the entire "revelation" into question.

    Moe, speaking for Allah, ordained jihad for Muslims, making it mandatory, not optional.  He issued imperatives to wage perpetual war against pagans, Jews & Christians, and confirmed the command.  He sanctified, practiced and bragged about being made victorious with terrorism. He promised Muslims that "any step" taken to "injure or enrage" disbelievers would be imputed to them as a deed of righteousness, to be weighed against their sins on Judgment Day.

    Does the revelation of true facts about Islam constitute vilification?  What is extreme about revealing those facts?  If I recall correctly, a wise statesman once reminded us that "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice".

alienation

    Muslims tend to congregate in ghettos and avoid assimilation.  A generation which fled tyranny and Shari'ah may be secular, but their descendants feel the tide of Islamic orthodoxy tugging at them.  Does anyone really believe that they are unaware of the damnable doctrine genocidal jihad or that they reject it until they read our blog posts?  Allah threatens them with the fire if they sit at home, and promises admission to Paradise if they join the jihad.

radical  

    That word may not be the pinnacle of lies, but it is very near to the top. The standard of Islam is violent and genocidal. Believers are defined by their enslavement to Allah, which is in exchange for admission to Paradise and for which they "fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. "

radicalization

    Alcohol & fornication are near the top of an adolescent male's hierarchy of needs. Both are forbidden by Islam. But if a Muslim becomes a Shahid, Allah promises that he will be rewarded with rivers of wine and maidens of equal age. 

religious obligation

    Offensive jihad is fard al-kifaya, not fard ayn. But it is required in every year, and if it is not performed in a year when it was possible, all who know of the obligation are in a state of sin. [Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9.1]

tactics

    Brig. S.K. Malik's The Qur'anic Concept of War exposes something we need to know about terrorism and how to defeat Islam.

Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only
a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into
the opponent's heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be
achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet
and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon
the enemy; it is me decision we wish to impose upon him. [pg. 59]

Psychological and physical dislocation is, at best, a means,
though, by no means, conclusive for striking terror into
the hearts of the enemies. Its effects are related to the
physical and spiritual stamina of the opponent but are seldom
of a permanent and lasting nature. An army that practises the
Quranic philosophy of war in its totality is immune to psychological
pressures. When Liddell Hart talks of imposing a direct decision
upon the enemy through psychological dislocation alone, he is
taking too much for granted.

    Terror cannot be struck into the hearts of an army by merely
 cutting its lines of communication or depriving it of its routes
of withdrawal. It is basically related to the strength or weakness
of the human soul. It can be instilled only if the opponent's
Faith is destroyed. Psychological dislocation is temporary;
spiritual dislocation is permanent. Psychological dislocation can be
produced hy a physical act but this does not hold good of the
spiritual dislocation. To instil terrorinto the hearts of the enemy, 
it is essential. in the ultimate analysis, to dislocate his Faith. An
invincible Faith is immune to terror. A weak Faith offers inroads
to terror. The Faith conferred upon us by the Holy Quran has
the inherent strength to ward off terror from us and to enable
us to strike terror into the enemy. Whatever the form or type of
strategy directed against the enemy, it must, in order to be effective,
be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy. A strategy
that fails to attain this condition suffers from inherent drawbacks
and weaknesses; and should be reviewed and modified. This rule
is fully applicable to nuclear as well as conventional wars. It is
equally true of the strategy of nuclear deterrence in fashion
today. To be credible and effective, the strategy of deterrence
must be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy. [pg. 60] [Emphasis added.]

    What is the absolute prerequisite for the success of terrorism?  What can we do to deprive Islam of that condition? What is the essential first step in defeating Islam?  How shall we go about destroying their belief in Allah?  These are the questions which few have the courage to propound and none have the fortitude to answer.
