Another Victory for Strength over Appeasement
By Dr. Richard Benkin Thursday, February 11, 2010

When Islamists attacked Mumbai, India’s New York, many people called it that country’s 9/11. Although it certainly was the most high profile attack, it was far from the first in this country of over a billion people. India faces terrorist attacks of one sort or another multiple times each week. The South Asia Terrorism Portal collects figures on terrorism here and calculated that 47,371 Indians have died in terrorist attacks since 1994. Since 2006, about two-thirds of the fatalities occurred as a result of Islamist attacks; the rest came at the hands of radical communists.



Al-Jazeera Invades Canada and Threatens America
By Cliff Kincaid Thursday, February 11, 2010

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has approved a request to add Al-Jazeera English (AJE) to the list of television satellite services for distribution in Canada. Supporters of the Arab government-funded propaganda channel hope that acceptance in Canada will lead to more cable and satellite carriers in the U.S. picking up the incendiary network.



Obama Trips Over Dead Canary
By Joy Tiz Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Obama’s minders have a bit of a problem. Thus, they ran back to David Plouffe, his 2008 campaign manager who will increase his role in the Obama administration. Recall that after the Brown victory, Obama went back on the campaign trail in Ohio, looking and sounding dreadful.

In another calamitous blow to the global warming church, the highly anticipated National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), which is part of the Commerce Department, had to cancel their global altering press conference about man-made global warming in Washington D.C. because of an unprecedented winter storm that has shut D.C. and the federal government down. Alas, all is not lost; they will hold their press conference via telephone, God willing the snow and ice does not disable the telephone system.



Obama’s Revisionist History of Terrorism
By Daniel Greenfield Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Since taking office, Obama’s key objective on terrorism has been to transform the public perception of it from an international military conflict, to a limited domestic criminal problem. Renaming terrorism to the bureaucratically euphonious term, “Man Caused Disasters” was straight out of the first rule in the textbook of organizational coverups, to phrase your sentences so that the identity of the perpetrators of the crisis remain as vague as possible. Focusing on everything but terrorism, while shutting down Gitmo and dispatching top Al Qaeda terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to civilian trials, was meant to restore the illusion of normalcy, while doing away with the terrorism focus of the Bush Administration.

In a country where multiculturalism has a reverent following and criticism of protected minorities has essentially been criminalized as “hate speech,” it is more than ironic that on some Canadian campuses radical students have taken it upon themselves to target one group, Jewish students, with a hatred that is nominally forbidden for any others.



The ObamaProblem: It’s the People, Stupid!
By Sher Zieve Wednesday, February 10, 2010

We-the-People have protested the increasingly apparent willful destruction of our economy, jobs and careers and liberties and freedoms by the Obama Administration for many months. We have told Obama & Co—in no uncertain terms—that we want neither his totalitarian ObamaCare Death Plan nor his Cap & Tax based upon the global warming hoax; a hoax established by the Marxist elite to steal even more power and resources from the American people and ultimately the people of the world.



Censoring the Internet Moves to silence dissent?
By Barry Napier Wednesday, February 10, 2010

I know for a fact that access to my own website is blocked by many colleges and libraries in the UK, who put me on their ‘proscribed’ list for my non-PC views. But, at least there are other ways to access it. I can put up with this kind of childish game… but there now appears to be a different, deadly-serious game afoot – the complete silencing of dissent on the internet.
