Write a short essay of your research and thoughts on quintessential American Values (e.g. unique and/or foundational ideals, beliefs, rights of American civilization)

One way to indentify them, and to draw antithetical comparisons to PC perversions, is to consider some philosophical dichotomies, such as:

1) Individual vs. Group (tribes, races, classes, factions, orgs., etc.)

2) Peace vs. Coercion

3) Liberty vs. Government

4) Truth vs. Fantasy

5) Utopia vs. Reality

6) Freedom vs. Dependence

7) Self-defense vs. Submission

Sovereignty vs. Slavery

9) Rule of Law vs. Lawlessness (anarchy)

10) Private Property vs. Entitlement (grand larceny)

Some examples of American Values which come to mind:

i) Individual Sovereignty – No man is subject to a (earthly) King except himself.

ii) Government gains/maintains its legitimacy and authority by the Consent of the Governed.

iii) Government’s first priority is to ensure Security for its Citizens by vigorously protecting their Rights, and by providing them Protection from Harm.

iv) All men are created Equal (by their Creator).

v) Natural Law is recognized and codified into Law.

vi) Natural Rights which flow from natural law are inalienable by men.

vii) Republicanism is the best form of government (yet conceived) with the rule of law, democratic processes, and the separation of powers at its core.

viii) Human Life is sacred.

ix) No human life shall be enslaved/coerced to serve another.

x) Private Property rights shall be inviolable, since the fruits of one’s labor represent an extension of one’s Life, by the free exercise of one’s sovereign resources.

xi) Freedom of Speech, especially of criticizing one’s own government without recrimination, is essential and inviolable.

xii) All Sovereignty lies with, and is inherent in, the People. Governments may be formed, or reformed, by the People delegating certain enumerated and limited authority to act as their agent. E.g. The U.S. Constitution.

Obama “very close” to Afghan troop decision: TV report

At Your Service, my Lord!

BEIJING (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday he is “very close” to a decision on boosting troop levels in Afghanistan and would make an announcement “in the next several weeks.”

In a transcript of the interview seen by Reuters, Obama said he did not want his successor as president to inherit the Afghan conflict, adding that a “multi-year occupation” would not serve the interests of the United States.

ThoughtRogue:  Has the left gone insane?  (or were they already there?)  Granting Jihadist terrorist combatants MY civil rights under our U.S. Constitution is verging on insane.  And then, trying them in American civilian courts, with all the rules of discovery and evidence, and so on, takes the cake, doesn’t it?

A few Questions which “Progressives” must answer satisfactorily in this case before trying KSM and his band of cohorts in New York City:

• When did OBL and fellow Islamo-fascist terrorists sign on to the Geneva Convention?
• What’s wrong exactly with Military Tribunals for these Jihadi wraiths, which have been used successfully since our Revolutionary War?  (and have recently been successfully vetted by the Supreme Court and Congress)
• Why exactly can’t Leftists understand the simple difference between Militant acts of War, and Civil Crimes?
• Were the horrific attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. really just one great mugging by poor Islamists?
• In selecting his trial’s jury, who exactly will be KSM’s “Peers”?  Can you say, OJ?
• Do we really want the standard of Justice for those who commit Acts of War against us, to gladly let 9 out of 10 Jihadists go free, lest one of them be imperfectly condemned?
• Isn’t this simply a Show Trial by the Obamunists, which will drag-on magically until just before the 2012 election, really their strategy to finally put Bush & Company on trial for their alleged plethora of “crimes” against Jihadists?

The Truth About Gitmo

ThoughtRogue:  Come on, watching the Snooze Media contort their ”reporting” in order to avoid the truth here is sickening, isn’t it?  Observe how Political Correctness prevents the State-run Media from uttering “Islamo-fascism”, or anything like it in connection with the Fort Hood Killer.  They keep calling it a “tragedy” as if a tree just fell upon someone out of the blue.  Folks, this ‘tragedy’ was a clear case of mass murder – a massacre.  Furthermore, it’s an obvious case of Sudden Jihadi Syndrome (SJS) if there ever was one - a Jihadi Massacre, and a U.S. Military inside job!  And the PC U.S. Command let it happen.   Update: The MSM’s meme now is that the unfortunate murderous Jihadist, Hasan, was “harrassed” and “taunted” because..  [wait for it!] ..he is a Muslim!

Fort Hood’s 9/11

Islamist terror strikes US again

By Ralph Peters

America, Submits to SJS!

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting “Allahu Akbar!” committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.

What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.

This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.

When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as “Palestinian” in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit — well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an “Islamist terrorist.”

But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as “Islamist terrorism” in ObamaWorld.

And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism “terrorism.”

And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.

Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn’t killed on the spot.

Hasan survived. Now the rest of us will have to foot his massive medical bills. Activist lawyers will get involved, claiming “harassment” drove him temporarily insane. There’ll be no end of trial delays. At best, taxpayer dollars will fund his prison lifestyle for decades to come, since our politically correct Army leadership wouldn’t dare pursue or carry out the death penalty.

Maj. Hasan will be a hero to Islamist terrorists abroad and their sympathizers here. While US Muslim organizations decry his acts publicly, Hasan will be praised privately. And he’ll have the last laugh.

But Hasan isn’t the sole guilty party. The US Army’s unforgivable political correctness is also to blame for the casualties at Ft. Hood.

Given the myriad warning signs, it’s appalling that no action was taken against a man apparently known to praise suicide bombers and openly damn US policy. But no officer in his chain of command, either at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or at Ft. Hood, had the guts to take meaningful action against a dysfunctional soldier and an incompetent doctor.

Had Hasan been a Lutheran or a Methodist, he would’ve been gone with the simoon. But officers fear charges of discrimination when faced with misconduct among protected minorities.

Now 12 soldiers and a security guard lie dead. 31 soldiers were wounded, 28 of them seriously. If heads don’t roll in this maggot’s chain of command, the Army will have shamed itself beyond moral redemption.

There’s another important issue, too. How could the Army allow an obviously incompetent and dysfunctional psychiatrist to treat our troubled soldiers returning from war? An Islamist whacko is counseled for arguing with veterans who’ve been assigned to his care? And he’s not removed from duty? What planet does the Army live on?

For the first time since I joined the Army in 1976, I’m ashamed of its dereliction of duty. The chain of command protected a budding terrorist who was waving one red flag after another. Because it was safer for careers than doing something about him.

Get ready for the apologias. We’ve already heard from the terrorist’s family that “he’s a good American.” In their world, maybe he is.

But when do we, the American public, knock off the PC nonsense?

A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit. A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she’s becoming too Westernized.

Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that “Islam’s a religion of peace.”

I guarantee you that the Obama administration’s non-response to the Ft. Hood attack will mock the memory of our dead.

The following is a book written by my friend, Mary.  You can read her previous chapters here. She is the ex-wife of a muslim,  and understands what it means to live under that lifestyle.  Notice I said “under” rather than live within that life style.  Living as a Muslim, when you grow up as an American and a Christian,  was not an easy walk for Mary.  Her experience is to our benefit as she educates us on the true nature of the imperialistic political system known as Islam.

Islam in American Classrooms

American children are being indoctrinated with anti-Democratic ideologies in American colleges, universities, and K-12 public schools with socialism, communism, and Islam. While parents believe traditional societal values are upheld, some schools are intentionally breaching customary positions of trust by providing a failing quality of education as compared to generations past. The widespread violation of standards infringe on family orientation, political and social identity, and religious persuasion.

Seditious movements fund educational programs in an effort to undermine American values to alienate children from their parents and grandparents, and ultimately replace traditional concepts with those subservient to a new world order. Emerging ideologies that alter the mind of American children are totalitarian allies– Communism and Islam. In full assault on our nation, the ideologies are demeaning our founding fathers and undermining the core of our Democracy through our children.

A September 2008 article titled “Saudi Infiltration into U.S. Education,” written for Israel National News, by Hillel Fendel warns that Saudis are using petrodollars to influence American education beginning in elementary schools. Sarah Stern, who heads the Washington, D.C. based Endowment for Middle East Truth think-tank (EMET) said the Saudis are making use of a clause called “Title VI” to indoctrinate teachers from K-12th grade with anti-American, anti-Israeli standards. Title VI and the loopholes in Bill Clinton’s 1995 Educational Guidelines allow off-campus activists to propagandize teachers and students at the taxpayer expense. Stern noted that:

“The law says you have to have teacher training seminars on campuses, and these have a radical anti-American bent. There is a place in New Mexico called Dar el Islam, a giant 1,300-acre complex that has a mosque, a madrassa [Islamic theological school], a summer camp, a teacher training workshop, and a publishing house that publishes some of the most virulent translations of the Quran, as well as the materials for their teacher-training that are used all over the country – and all stamped with the fancy blue-green-white star emblem of ARAMCO, the state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia. They are very, very stealth – I call this the ’soft jihad’ against America.”[1]

Title VI was first legislated in 1958 as a response to the Cold War because it was felt that American children did not know enough about the threat of Communism or the global market. Subsequently, a large amount of taxpayer money was set aside to fund college campus programs for regional studies such as African, Asian, and Middle Eastern studies.

In 1978, Edward Said of Columbia University wrote a book called “Orientialism” which became the prevailing and dominant trend in academia, making a Middle Eastern studies program very indoctrinating.  In the book, Said espoused that only individuals from given regions are qualified to talk or write about that region’s main religion.

Politicians welcomed programs and students from the Middle East when Arab leaders began lavishing generous donations to American educational institutions. In return, they demanded special privileges and the right to influence policy favorable to Islam.

Over the last 30 years, the Saudi royal family has contributed over $70 billion to promote Arab studies that center around Islam and spread anti-American and anti-Israeli propaganda. The Saudis give millions of dollars to American Universities and their motive is clearly stated by the official Saudi English weekly Ain-Al-Yaqeen:

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz, has positively shouldered its responsibility, and played a pioneering role in order to raise the banner of Islam all over the globe and raise the Islamic call either inside or outside the Kingdom.” [2]

Donations to universities can be made anonymously so it is impossible to know exactly how much money they receive and from whom. Some institutions receiving millions of dollars in Saudi funds are listed in the table below. Some of the Universities that receive Saudi endowments include Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia University, USC, Duke University, and even Texas A&M, to name only a few. [3]

By no means complete, the list includes known donations where possible.

Rice University accepts Saudi money for an Islamic Studies Chair. Duke University, Syracuse University, American University of Colorado, American University in Washington, D.C., and Howard University have allowed the Saudis to set up research institutes.

The endowments allow professors and so-called intellectuals the ability to promote an Islamic agenda while afforded protection under freedom of speech laws. Title VI allows for the payment of professors salaries. It also supports Saudi student activists that are trained overseas in the summer to learn terrorist tactics, and return in the fall. Thus, more and more anti-American and anti-Israel doctrine is spread, with nothing being done to stop it.[4]

TR:  Gee, ask yourself, What would Jimmy C. do??  Is there anyone with a more pathetic track record than this feckless, flaccid, fatuous, fallacious, fetid example of a former “president”??

How could BHOII possibly be an “African-American”?  First of all, the world awaits ANY real proof that he is even an American (Citizen).  He has boasted in his two auto-hagiographies that he is proudly half White, and half native Kenyan.  How does that make one an “African-American” as if he marched in the Civil Rights movement, or has done anything of the sort?

From Worst President to Worst Ex-President–

MEET THE TRUE FATHER OF THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTION:  JIMMY CARTER

A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows, camels, and so on. However, he should kill the animal after orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in the village; however, the selling of meat to people in a neighboring village is permissible.

Jimmy Carter has devolved from being America’s worst president to being America’s worst ex-president.

Earlier this week, Carter met with the Hamas government that gained control of Gaza two years ago, after the Palestinian Authority’s forces were routed not only by popular vote bust also by bloody factional struggle.

Jimmy declared that Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) should be recognized as the proper governing authority in Gaza and should not be viewed as a terror organization.

Few, however, are screaming, despite the fact that Hamas is one of the world’s leading Islamic jihadi groups.

Hamas is an organization that remains responsible for scores of suicide attacks against Israeli civilians (including the 2002 Passover suicide bombing); that supports the World Islamic Statement (the declaration of war against the United States as issued by Osama bin Laden in 1998; that disseminates hate literature to Muslim children throughout the Middle East; and that prays for Allah to transform Jews into “apes, pigs, mice, and lizards.

A friend of 13-year-old Israeli girl Hodaya Asraf, who was murdered in a HAMAS suicide bomb attack, weeps beside a picture of her in a Jerusalem school. Former President Jimmy Carter treats the murder of Jewish children as just good fun, ….similar to a game of horseshoes.

Jimmy thinks they are great guys and wept over the fact that they remain on the terror list of Israel, the European Union, and the United States and that the Israelis have responded to their guerilla attacks by launching mortars that have left much of the country in shambles.

But Carter was not content with simply making a spectacle of himself in Gaza. He went on to Lebanon to meet with Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the spiritual leader of Hezbollah. Fadlallah is responsible for the October 1983 bombing of the barracks of the U.S. Marines in Beirut – - an attack which result in the deaths of 241 American soldiers.

Jimmy shook Fadlallah’s hand and expressed delight to their meeting.

While Carter was visiting his favorite terrorists, all hell was breaking loose on the streets of Teheran. This seemed a fitting background to his meeting Middle East shenanigans, since Jimmy is really the father of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the rule of the nutcase mullahs.

Let’s remember Jimmy’s record in the White House.

As soon as Carter assumed the oath of office, the White House became peopled with characters out of Li’l Abner’s Dogpatch, including the family matriarch “Miz” Lillian, Jimmy’s Bible-toting sister Ruth, and his beer-guzzling brother Billy, who came to receive a mysterious payment of $2.5 million from the Libyan government.

Determined to end dependency on foreign oil, Jimmy moved to regulate domestic oil prices. The result was the creation of a price-gouging OPEC cartel that sent oil prices soaring, created rampant inflation, and drove the U.S. economy into deep recession. The misery index, Carter’s own invention for determining the well-being of the American people, rose by 50% during his four years in office.

Jimmy went on to relinquish control of the Panama Canal, to oppose the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by pulling the U.S. team out of the Olympics, and by attempting to normalize relations with Cuba through the opening of “interest sections” in Washington and Havana. His Cuban policy resulted in the Mariel Boatlift whereby Fidel Castro sent 120,000 refugees – - including mental patients and hardened criminals – - to Miami, thereby transforming the resort city into the crime capital of the United States.

Space does not a permit a discussion of his Latin American policy that gave rise to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua of his ALT-2 agreement with the Soviet Union, which resulted in lobbyists gaining more power than the highest-ranking Pentagon officials.

Carter’s real legacy remains in Iran with the Islamic Revolution and the rise of the murderous mullahs.

As President Jimmy Carter turned his back on America and with the help of Iranian Mullahs, unleashed modern Islamic terrorism on the world.

Before Jimmy entered the White House, America’s closest friend and ally in the Muslim world was Iran’s Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who ascended to the Peacock Throne as shah (the Persian word for king) in 1941.

The shah modernized Iran by launching the so-called “white revolution,” a massive attempt to Westernize the Persian country through the construction of roads, railways, airports, dams for power and irrigation, agribusiness, pipelines for the oil companies, steel and petrochemical plants, heavy metallurgy, and public health, education, and welfare programs. He bolstered the expansion of U.S. business and industry throughout Iran; shared he spoils of his country’s oil reserves with Britain and the United States; endorsed (at the request of President Eisenhower) the Baghdad Pact to ward off the spread of communism in the Middle East, and never voted against America in the United Nations.

By the 1960s, Iran’s back-alley bazaars became transformed into Fifth Avenue shops. Rock ‘n roll blared from the radio stations. Movie theaters showed the latest Hollywood flicks, and programs like Rawhide and I Love Lucy played on Iranian television. Restaurants served beer and hotdogs. Nightclubs and casinos catered to foreign tourists, foreign contractors, and foreign military advisers.

And let’s remember that the shah, unlike the fat Mid Eastern despots and dictators, never asked or received a dime in U.S. foreign aid.

But not all Iranians were pleased with the changes. The Shi’ite clerics viewed the democratic changes as diabolic. The straw that broke the camel’s back came with the shah’s democratic ruling that Iranian officials were free to take their oath of office on whatever holy scripture they preferred – - including the Christian Bible. The mullahs under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini rose to condemn the shah in mosques and seminaries and to demand his removal from the throne.

Enter Jimmy Carter.

Instead of supporting America’s ally, Jimmy, true to his form as a turncoat, supported the Ayatollah as a “fellow man of religion.” Andrew Young, Carter’s ambassador to the UN, went so far as to call Khomeini, who sanctioned sex with cows and camels, a “misunderstood saint.”

When Khomeini launched his evil revolution, Carter refused to provide the shah with any kind of military assistance despite the pleading of the shah.

Instead, Jimmy demanded that he release from prison all the murderous mullahs and militant radicals who were bound and determined to overthrow the government and to impose an intransigent interpretation of shariah (Muslim law) on every Iranian.

The shah acquiesced to this demand and the rest in history.

The Ayatollah – - Carter’s misunderstood saint – - came to power and launched a bloodbath that resulted in the deaths of twenty-thousand pro-Western Iranians. Churches and synagogues were razed, cemeteries desecrated, and shrines vandalized and demolished. The judicially murdered included the 102 year-old Kurdish poet Allameh Vahidi and a 9 year-old girl convicted of “attacking revolutionary guards.” Women were reduced to servitude. They lost their rights to attend school, to initiate divorce, or to retain custody of their children. When they appeared in public, women were obliged to wear the hijab (the traditional Islamic head cover). All American music was outlawed. The movie theaters were shut down; the nightclubs closed. To top things off, the Muslim militants overran the U.S. embassy in Teheran and seized sixty Americans as hostages.

Good ole Jimmy responded by his infamous “malaise speech” of July 15, 1979 in which the former peanut former expressed his belief that America had lost its guts and remained in a state of near senility.

The shah was treated by the Carter White House as a pariah and died of cancer in Cairo on July 27, 1980.

The Islamic Revolution in Iran fanned the flames of jihad throughout the world and gave birth to al Qaeda and hundreds of other Muslim terror groups.

In recent years, the former peanut farmer has been cultivating friendships with such rabid anti-American dictators as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Kim Jong-il.

And now Jimmy, ever true to form, is demanding that we embrace Hamas and Hezbollah as our friends – - just as he embraced the crazed Khomeini and the mad mullahs.

Thanks, Jimmy, but no thanks.

News Black-Out

What’s taking place in Iran?

For an answer, don’t turn to CNN or Fox News and don’t listen to White House officials.

Millions have taken to the streets to protest the June 12 rigged election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The University of Tehran has been ransacked.

Several protestors have been killed and thousands have been injured.

It is the greatest popular uprising that the 21^st Century has witnessed.

And yet, to find fair and balanced coverage of the momentous event, one had to turn to foreign news outlets.

Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent, opted to whitewash the turmoil in her native country, prompting thousands on Twitter to voice their outrage.

“Why aren’t you covering this with everything you’ve got?” Steve LaBate, an Atlanta resident, asked CNN on Twitter.

While LaBate and others were venting their frustration, CNN was showing a repeat of Larry King’s interview with the stars of the “American Chopper” show.

Part of the reason for the CNN and Fox black-out is explained by the fact that a good chunk of AOL Time Warner (parent company of CNN) and New Corp (parent company of Fox News) is owned by Prince Alwaleed Ibn Talal the Saudi billionaire. For this reason, the Saudis serve as a filter for events in the Middle East that are viewed by American and Canadian audiences.

More difficult to explain is the suppressed reaction from White House officials. While blood was being spilled in the streets of Tehran, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said:

“We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Iran but we, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide.”

Understatement, to say the least.

Equally bizarre is the statement from White House spokesman Robert Gibbs that the administration remains

“impressed by the vigorous debate and enthusiasm that this election generated, particularly among young Iranians.”

Not a word about the turmoil in the streets or the ransacking of the university.

Compounding the weirdness are the comments, which were made by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on NBC’s

“Meet the Press: “I have doubts, but withhold comment.”

Doublespeak has never been stated more clearly.

Meanwhile, the Iranian authorities are continuing a crackdown on journalists and information that began after the announcement of the disputed presidential election results. Journalists are still being arrested and more censorship measures have been adopted as President Ahmadinejad’s allies try to suppress media coverage of fraud allegations.

“Independent sources of news and information find it very hard to make their voice heard now in Iran because of the censorship,” Reporters Without Borders said. “The authorities are tightening their grip on all news media and means of communication that could be used to dispute Ahmadinejad reelection ‘victory’. They are doing everything possible to limit coverage of the consequences of the election fraud.”

But let’s not romanticize Ahmadinejad’s opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi as a champion of religious tolerance and western civilization. While Mousavi calls for the creation of non-government TV networks and the elimination of the country’s Moral Police, he calls the United States “the Great Satan,” who must be encountered with “iron fists”; calls for the assassination of novelist Salmon Rushdie; and labels Israel “a cancerous tumor that must be removed.” But, in recent appearances, Mousavi has condemned the killing of Jews in the Holocaust – - a most liberal position for an Islamist.
