There’s No Racist Like a Liberal Racist
There’s no racist like a liberal racist
Opinion by AAABTonto:
The accusative Progressive chorus that “conservatives are racist” is never-ending. It has rendered the GOP lip-locked and utterly terrified at the thought of criticizing Obama at a time when Liberty is suffering its most intense assault in the history of our country. Not responding to this salacious slander is, to the Progressive, tantamount to admission of guilt. Add the blame the GOP has heaped on the Tea Party only serves to embolden the Left further.
RUSH: Republicans Seeking To Get Rid Of Their Conservative Base
If the GOP has any hope for a future, it needs to stop attacking its base and start attacking the assailants of Liberty. Socialism has failed everywhere and every time it has been employed throughout the history of mankind. How many times does this need to be heralded?
Answer: for ever and ever!
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.”
– H.L. Mencken
Progressives seek to eliminate individualism. The individual is threatening to the collective—the state. They seek to modularize various groups of people (by race, class and sex) so they can stack them like toy blocks and thus fulfill their precious societal architecture. This is utterly un-American and it is the very substance of Obama’s “fundamental transformation.”

Dario Franchitti fan view
Opinion by AAABTonto:
We can skip politics every once in awhile … Being a resident of Indianapolis, racing is in my blood and although my employment keeps me from viewing as many sporting events as would like to see, I still try to keep up with the latest.
At Sunday’s Grand Prix of Houston, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti fractured two vertebrae and broke his right ankle when his car climbed over the rear wheels of another and was launched into a catch fence. The incident occurred on the last lap and flung debris into the stands injuring 13 fans and an IndyCar Series official.
Franchitti also sustained a concussion and was transported by ambulance to a hospital, where he underwent surgery for his badly broken ankle. It was reported that the four-time series champion would be held overnight and then transported to Indianapolis for additional surgery. Indianapolis has special facilities for severe trauma whose development was aided by Dr. Terry Trammell, a pioneer in reconstructive surgery.
Open wheel racing is a spectacular sport, but like many things, it does come with a significant element of danger. Without it, many of the safety features in our everyday cars would not have been engineered—not to mention Dr. Terry Trammell’s amazing surgical techniques. These technical advances are spreading to other sports, aerospace and military applications as well. Being a former go kart racer, I am proud to have witnessed these developments and to have met many celebrities in the racing community. They are an amazingly humble and friendly group and things like this bring them all closer together. They never stop looking for ways to improve safety for the drivers, crew and the fans. I am quite sure that improvements will be made to the Houston layout in the area where this incident took place.
Thoughts and prayers are with Dario and his family and those fans who were injured.

Separation of Mosque and State
Musnad Ahmad – Muhammad said: “The whole earth has been shown to me until I saw the east of the east and the west of the west and I saw that the authority of Islam ruled all that I saw.”
Opinion by AAABTonto:
Like many of the meaningful issues that are being obscured by the situation in Syria and the negligence of our main stream media, Islam is silently worming its way through our societal superstructure while our elected officials default on the defense of religious liberty and the 1st Amendment.
The problem with Islam is that it is a 7th Century ideology trying to claim superiority in the 21st Century. Add to that, that there is no compassion within its theocratic discipline and confusion as to what those theocratic duties actually require and you have all the elements required to facilitate fanatical activism.
Shariah’s Assault on Free Speech: Warriors Who Refuse to be Silenced
Then the Progressive Left comes along, and while simultaneously bashing Christians, they embrace the plight and need for the “rights of Muslims” because they are another minority which they can add to their inventory of victims—and YOU are Islamophobic! The problem is not that radical Muslims are beheading Christians and burning churches, it is that YOU are a heartless, thoughtless, cruel, conservative Christian. You are an extremist Neanderthal who believes in the Bible and the constitution of all things!
THIS … is the “fundamentally transformed” America of Obama’s dreams.
And your own political party won’t even bother to defend you—that is the mystifying, aggravating issue with the ruling class Republican elitists … they are willing to sell us all down the river in order to preserve their beltway buffet of privilege. They made that clear when they denied the Tea Party electorates ANY speaking platform at the RNC. They nominated that all-time winner Mitt Romney—because they believe that the Tea Party is a bunch of religious rubes and we couldn’t possibly fathom the erudite and genius methods of the beltway RINOs.
Led by Karl Rove, this crowd is more nefarious than the Democrats because we expect Democrats to stab us in the back, but the Tea Party carried all of the water for the Republicans in 2010 and our reward was ridicule and scorn. Rove engineered the Romney campaign and yet he blames the Tea Party for his own miserable failure. Thus, they are unwilling to focus any blame on the Obama administration for fear of reprisal in the media. Silently, Sharia creeps into the fabric of America, while we fight amongst ourselves.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6922 – Allah’s Messenger said, “If anyone changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.”
Hamza Yusuf prooves that Islam is the truth
Oh, I’m sorry … did someone lie about the prophet of Islam? I don’t think so …
Qur’an 98:6 – Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
In her book, Cruel and Unusual Punishment, former Muslim Nonie Darwish outlines the incongruities of Sharia law and American law, including:
1 Death penalties for anyone leaving Islam
2 Death penalties for adultery
3 Death penalties for homosexuality
4 Special taxes imposed on non-Muslims
5 Institutionalized inequality; Muslims are respected over non-Muslims, as are men over women, the wealthy over the working class.
6 Allowance for slavery
7 Allowance for polygamy
8 No minimum age for marriage
9 Harsh penalties, like flogging, dismemberment, and beheading, for speaking against Islam and specifically Mohammed.
And exclusively for women:
1 Your testimony is only worth half that of a man’s
2 It’s not rape without four male witnesses. Otherwise it’s adultery. See #2 above.
3 High burdens of proof for divorce (while husbands merely have to speak a phrase)
4 Forced marriages
5 No protection against domestic violence
6 Losing custody of your children if you remarry
7 Strict clothing/modesty laws…you can be imprisoned for forgoing a veil or showing your ankles
As David Swindle noted right after the Boston Marathon jihad bombing,
“We are now entering a new phase of the Islamic war to replace liberal societies with Sharia law. This is World War IV, a multi-decade conflict that will be for our generation what the war against Nazism and Fascism was for our grandparents. Except it will probably be worse.”
The very idea that Sharia should or even could coexist within our constitutional republic is absurd! Islam is a theocratic culture—the law is the religion. To make it even more absurd and complicated, Sharia is administered by Imams, so there is no consistency in their rulings. If one is looking for advice you can “shop around” for an Imam that will give you a favorable ruling, but if you are being judged on a matter of criminality, then the judgement is final and there is no appeal.
Still confused? Well then, let’s take a look:
Sharia in Syria
Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: Could the Rape Jihad Come to America?
Sunan Ibn Majah 4337 – It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah said: “There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from his inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).” Hisham bin Khalid said: “From his inheritance from the people of Hell” means: “Men who enter Hell, and the people of Paradise will inherit their wives, just as the wife of Pharaoh will be inherited.”
Robert Spencer is probably America’s foremost authority on Islam:
The Brutal Truth About Islam
Ibn Kathir on Qur’an 5:51 – Allah forbids His believing servants from having Jews and Christians as friends, because they are the enemies of Islam and its people, may Allah curse them. Allah then states that they are friends of each other and He gives a warning threat to those who do this, (And if any among you befriends them, then surely he is one of them.) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Umar ordered Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari to send him on one sheet of balance the count of what he took in and what he spent. Abu Musa then had a Christian scribe, and he was able to comply with `Umar’s demand. `Umar liked what he saw and exclaimed, “This scribe is proficient. Would you read in the Masjid a letter that came to us from Ash-Sham” Abu Musa said, `He cannot.” `Umar said, “Is he not pure” Abu Musa said, “No, but he is Christian.” Abu Musa said, “So `Umar admonished me and poked my thigh (with his finger), saying, `Drive him out (from Al-Madinah).’ He then recited, (O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends…)”
Numerous states have passed or are considering passing “American Laws for American Courts” (ALAC) legislation, which block the use of foreign law in American courts when the application of said foreign law would deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights. You would think this would be a no-brain-er, but amazingly enough, ALAC bills have many critics—imagine that? In the following video, Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center responds to criticisms of ALAC:
Defense of American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) & Response to Critics
Sahih Muslim 4366 – It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattab that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.
Team B II: Shariah, the Threat to America
Christians Under Siege in Middle East While Politicians, Church Leaders Silent
The Obama administration is failing in its duties to protect us from the aggression of Islam both at home and abroad. His Muslim sympathies are a direct conflict of interest to the safety and security of the United States. He has said almost nothing in respect to the persecution of Christians and non-Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Syrian Quagmire and Obama’s Silence on Persecution of the Church
Resistance … there should be an organized Christian militia and it should be large and suitably equipped with best technologies available. NO ONE is standing up to Islam while political correctness inhibits common sense … Our next president should make an exception to the legality of raising such an army. I am quite positive their would be no shortage of volunteers.
I guess I see this as being an effort independent from the US government, though I wouldn’t refuse their help if offered. I don’t hate Muslims, I detest the teachings of Islam—its purpose is to subjugate ALL other religions. I see this idea (and its only an idea there Mr. NSA operative) as being a multinational group of Christian mercenaries, whose sole purpose would be to defend fellow Christians from persecution. They would also provide food, financial aid, weapons and medical assistance. Maybe there already is such an organization, if so I am unaware of it?
If you want to be Muslim then I think you should be able to do so, that said I think that if someone wants to renounce Islam (apostasy is a crime under Islamic rule) and leave said country he or she should be free to so—not punished by death! Islam’s presumed supremacy flies in the face of our constitution and human rights in general.
You Want to Help Syria’s Christians? Send Guns
Nina Shea, citing Syria’s large but defenseless Christian minority—the most vulnerable group in Syria because they have no militias or army to protect them, writes:
The American people and their political representatives must raise the issue of reprisals against Christians and other minorities. It is clear that neither our allies on the ground nor Prince Bandar and their other benefactors in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf care.
Our diplomatic efforts in Syria will never result in a cessation of violence between the varied Islamic sects, our efforts there should be to provide the Christian minority with the means to defend themselves—guns and ammunition. This would, of course, hold true in any part of the world.
Let’s Blame Bush’s “Lies” for Obama’s Syria Fiasco
I have yet to say anything about the recent terrorist attack at Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Western leaders and the media assure us that it had nothing to do with Islam, and that, by killing and torturing unbelievers, al-Shabaab is violating the commands of Allah and Muhammad. However, when we open the Qur’an to see what it teaches, we discover that Islamic teachings prescribe the actions taken by the terrorists at the Westgate Mall. We learn that Islam has been subjugating and persecuting unbelievers for fourteen hundred years.

This is NOT the Planet I was Born On
Help me … I am a clueless liberal …
Opinion by AAABTonto:
In this world gone mad I often wonder what will happen next. What will the next blast of gob frothing, lunatic, pabulum-puke, liberal outburst claim to be sexist, intolerant and racist? I am never disappointed by the lack of variety of industrial strength, maximum density and narcissistic insanity that liberals espouse in the main stream media, on a daily basis.

Scenes From The Circus of Politics
And … THEY are insane, yet demanding that you view the world through THEIR twisted prism because your perspective of life isn’t valid. You are defective, because you believe those fairy tales in the Bible are real—never mind the plethora of archeological evidence that is being discovered verifying the historical accuracy of much of the Bible. YOU want to take away their right to choose to murder their own child. YOU want to suppress the minority vote because YOU want to make them show their photo ID! YOU want to pollute the planet and are the cause of global warming. And, YOU—you selfish bastard, you don’t think you should have pay for other peoples poor decisions even though the government consumes over half of wages you earn. You earned it, you greedy SOB now give it to someone else … or else!

Stuff Liberals Say
Stop me when I am lying—you can’t, because it is the truth. The outrageous thing is that these vessels of enlightenment proclaim that conservative Christians are the scourge of the planet, the cause of all evil, proclaim we’re intolerant, and incoherent. These fools shouldn’t be allowed to own anything sharp and they’re telling us we can’t own guns! They have successfully dumbed-down almost half the nation into believing the feckless, placating drivel they spew forth right through their pearly white teeth.

Shariah’s Assault on Free Speech: Warriors Who Refuse to be Silenced
Obama and the Muslim Brotherhhood in Egypt – Benghazi Operation a Secret
Opinion by AAABTonto:
More violent demonstrations erupted throughout Egypt today, Friday August 16, 2013. Muslim Brotherhood supporters clashed against fellow Muslims, Egyptian security forces and Christians in what was designated a “Day of Rage.” Does any of this sound familiar? Wasn’t there a “Day of Rage” during the OWS demonstrations and who promoted those?
Obama has embraced, endorsed and ensconced the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and within OUR OWN government—they are the “modern”–yet 7th century, equivalent of the Nazis … our precious, progressive POTUS has said nothing, until yesterday, about the MB’s wholesale persecution and killing of Coptic Christians. That is because he saw his MB brothers finally getting what they deserve from the Egyptian military, who are preforming a favor for the whole of the world by cleaning their house of these savages. And, while this is going on the media, as usual, is getting the story exactly backwards while they try to save face for Obama. They are condemning the violence which they contend is against peaceful Morsi supporters—except that these supporters aren’t peaceful; they are armed and firing on the Egyptian military.
I just heard a FOX News Radio reporter say that the “appearance of the photographs” may go against the anti-Morsi elements of the Egyptian population. Really? These people were betrayed by Morsi, whom Obama supported outright—they don’t care what anyone else thinks about what reporters photograph. They want to rid themselves of the Muslim Brotherhood. I think they are within their rights to do so. Meanwhile the Obama administration is condemning the Egyptian military, who is the only source of authority left and has the apparent support of the people.
They don’t care what Obama, McCain or Lindsey Graham have to say about what the Egyptian people “need to do”—they’re doing it.
The POTUS has sponsored this Muslim Brotherhood savagery—he has the blood of Egypt on his hands!
AWFUL. Obama Compares Muslim Brotherhood Bloodbath to the United States
The Muslim Brotherhood is not even remotely comparable to the founding of the United States of America! The Founders were men who had experienced the boot heel of tyranny and decided to construct a government that promoted freewill and liberty—both economically and spiritually. The MB promotes Islam which is wholly theocratic in that the religion is the law and any other choice is criminal—apostasy. Islam is intolerant of all other religions and proclaims itself to be superior to all other religions. I don’t care if you want to call me a racist or not, Obama is WRONG! In fact, he could not be more wrong. Comparing the MB to our founding of America is like comparing procreation to abortion. Yea, I said it!
Why shouldn’t I say it? The MB has been persecuting and killing Coptic Christians in droves throughout Obama;s tenure as President and he has NEVER uttered a word of condemnation. It is disgusting, heartless and cruel.
All of this is a result of Obama’s incompetence. The Obama administration is in deep … and finally a random act of journalism by CNN has made notice of it. Though I could not have imagined what motivations Obama might have had for taking sides in Syria, he apparently had them and I believe it was to aid radical Islam in toppling Syrian president Assad. Then with the current Syrian government out of the way, assisting the Muslim Brotherhood in assuming power as he did in Egypt and Libya. The only problem was that the MB was not as organized and influential as they believed they were. They made Egypt’s already anemic economy worse and then destroyed the only industry Egypt has, tourism. Though the Egyptian people gave Morsi a chance, he was not what they thought they wanted. The MB failed miserably.
The other lesson to be learned from this is that Sharia, a MB centerpiece, is not compatible with a secular society whose mainstay would be tourism. Who is going to visit a country where you might be beheaded for the slightest of offenses? Who wants to go to a country known for its beautiful beaches and be forced to be covered from head to toe? Who wants to go on vacation where some radical religious fanatics are going to be lording over your every action? Not me. Additionally, there are some members within the radial ranks of the MB who are in favor of destroying the Great Pyramids!

Mark Levin: John Boehner And Obama ‘Cut Some Kind Of A Deal’ To Not Investigate Benghazi
This is incredible …
Boehner going the right way for a booting?
As WND reported, Boehner has insisted a devoted, select committee to look into the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, isn’t “necessary.”
Despite allegations the CIA may be covering up a guns-to-terrorists scandal and the White House may have abandoned Americans to die in order to protect the secret, Boehner has entrusted already busy, existing House committees to look into it.
Boehner’s reluctance to launch a more serious investigation has prompted a challenge from within his own party, as Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., introduced a resolution to establish a select committee.
Not a mere dozen, but over 160 House Republicans have co-sponsored the resolution demanding a heightened investigation. Boehner, however, has refused to bring it to a vote.
How can we hold Obama accountable when those who are supposed to be leading our own party are willing to look the other way? The Egyptian people are showing us a lesson—it’s time to clean house!
