I cannot not agree more with everything you have said Karen Vaughn. There are millions who agree with you.

Obama to Ohio State Graduates ... "Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems." When government lies with the sole purpose of protecting those in power, then yes, it is sinister. Mr. President the problem is your failed moral leadership.

Thank you Tracy. We need to be reminded that there are normal people out there. It's good and calming to keep this in mind.

The high prices in Ca. are the direct result of CARB, Californa Air Resources Board and their mismanagement. This agency established by the legislature has a long history of using faulty science and foisting additives like MTBE that do damage. The MTBE fuel additive cost Californians and estimated $30 million in added fuel costs and the groundwater pollution cleanup another 20 billion. Go to killcarb.org and get an education!
Here is a true story. I spoke with an owner of a mobile home sales business 3 years ago. One day he came out of his sales office along Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff, and say a man putting a measuring stick in his pick up truck bed gas tank. It was a member of the CARB staff checking to see if he was using Ag diesel in the tank instead of regular diesel. This inspector came on the property and was doing his 'inspection' without even asking the permission of the owner before he climbed into his truck! This is the kind of government over regulation that exists in California.

They represent the culture, the law and the religion. In these countries the culture is Islam because Islam and politics and the law are all rolled into one. To say that Islam is not responsible is to ignore realty. Sorry Max.

One reason I support Mitt Romney is that he plans to establish a long-term counter-jihad strategy. No single politician, however, can solve the problem for us. We the people must demand it.

Thank you Bruce for your timely article. Below is a letter I have written to my sons on this day...
Dear Sons:
Today is the anniversary of 9/11. It is a solemn day for me. 9/11 does not mean the same thing to you because you were both so young. You are old enough now. It is critical that you both understand the significance of this act of Islamic Jihad against the USA. It was not the first.

The first acts of Jihad occurred in the early days of our Republic. As a result of attacks on our merchant ships President Jefferson commissioned the first naval ships be built. Our navy began as a response to Islamic Jihad piracy! There were groups of Marines on the ships sent to the Mediterranean. The words of the Marine anthem '...to the shores of Tripoli...' derive from the Marine action in 'Tripoli', Lybia today. Nor was 9/11 the first Jihad attack in the history of the world.

Islamic Jihad has been going on ever since Mohammad moved from Mecca to Medina and preached Jihad as a way to spread the faith. After years in Mecca Mohammad had 100 followers or so. After 23 years of Jihad in Medina he had 100,000. Violence worked much better than non violence! It is estimated that since it's beginning Islamic Jihad has killed 270 million people*. * <a href="http://(http://www.politicalislam.com/tears/pages/tears-of-jihad/)" target="_blank">(http://www.politicalislam.com/tears/pages/tears-of-jihad/)

In modern times, after the first world war, there was a movement to return to traditional Islam. The movement is financed today chiefly through oil revenues which is used to build mosques, the training of conservative preachers and general financial support. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the state of Iran and others have significant influence as well. It is estimated that 80% of mosques built in the USA have been financed by Saudi Arabia. The MB credo says it all "....Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."

Muslim Brotherhood front groups operate openly in the USA today. Two affiliated influential groups in the USA are CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and the MSA (Muslim Student Assoc.) There are dozens of others.

Why am I telling you all this? I am because I want you to realize that Islam is still on the march. Two costly wars in the last decade have not dulled the movement. It is one of the most dangerous long term threats to the stability of this country and other democratic nations. You should be aware of it along with the other major issues facing this country. But as far as Islam is concerned any politician etc... who says 'Islam is Peace' does not know what he is talking about.

Take a few moments today to recall the 9/11 attack. Pledge to honor the victims by remembering who killed them and why. Honor them by being aware of this threat to your freedom. Understand that is ongoing. You have a responsibility as citizens to be aware of this issue and vote into office those who are knowledgeable and have plans to stop this movement.

Mitt Romney has said that spending billions to kill Osama Bin Laden was not as important as having a national strategy with other free nations to deal with the problem. He believes killing the violent Jihadist's alone does not stop the movement, I agree.

One reason I support Mitt Romney is that he plans to establish a long-term counter-jihad strategy. No single politician, however, can solve the problem. We the people must demand it.

Love,
Dad

The rot inside the mosque has to be exposed from the inside out. Imams who incite others to harm, harass, or intimidate others have to be taken to court. Mosques have to be sued. Imams have to be jailed. They have to be recorded and exposed.

Open your eyes...".homosexuality, adultery, alcoholism, lesbianism and other moral/intellectual filth" .... These things exist in Islamic countries as well, many would argue to a greater degree. I say Islam heal yourself before you try to impose your sick beliefs on us.

During Ramadan Muslims don't eating during daylight hours. They eat as much as much as they want when it is dark. This is no more fasting than a person who 'fasts' between dinner at 5:30pm and breakfast at 7:00am. How about referring to the custom as .... 'Ramadan daylight fasting' to differentiate it from true fasting.
