As I noted last week, former Ayatollah Khomeini employee and eternal friend of Hezbollah and the government of Iran, Imam Mohammed Ali Elahi, went out of his way to praise the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (and attack Jews and Israel), in anticipation of Wright’s speech, last night, to the NAACP Freedom Fund Award Dinner in Detroit.
Well, last night, in his speech, Rev. Wright went out of his way to thank Elahi in his speech.

To get an idea of whom Rev. Wright was thanking, read some of my myriad past work over the years as I’ve followed Imam Elahi, an open proponent of terrorism and defender of Iran:
* Hezbollah U.S.A.: How a U.S. Attorney, the FBI, ICE & a Congressman Helped a Terror Group
* Pander Bears: Abu Mosque-owitz & the Feds Suck Up at Hezbollah Mosque – PART I
Elahi was so extreme, even his own extremist former mosque–the Islamic Center of America–kicked him out.
Yup, the man Obama won’t denounce hangs with one of Iran’s/Hezbollah’s top American agents and specifically praises him.
Great omen for Obama’s Presidency.

Beginning in 1979, Americans at the U.S. Embassy in Iran spent 444 days being held hostage there under the Khomeini government.
So, why would we allow anyone connected with perpetrating that captivity into America? Good question. We’ve already allowed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad–who was involved with the “revolution” and was one of the captors–in, to speak at Columbia University, last year. And we allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s Navy imam, Mohammed Ali Elahi, to become a U.S. citizen, despite the fact that he lied about his ties to terrorist groups on his citizenship application.
Now, our friend, Rocky at Rocky Mountain Neo-Con, writes about another top Ayatollah Khomeini revolutionary from Iran who will speak at Metropolitan State College of Denver, on Wednesday April 30th.

Rocky gives us all the details on Ebrahim Yazdi, Khomeini’s first deputy prime minister and first foreign minister. It’s very disturbing, including news that Yazdi, Yassser Arafat, and Ayatollah Khomeini, together, took over the Israeli embassy in Iran, too (see above photo).
Why the heck are we letting this guy in?
Read all the details.

The Detroit area chapter of the falsely-named American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is proud to be sponsoring the Detroit speech, Sunday, by anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright–B. Hussein Obama’s pastor, whom he won’t disown.
ADC is openly pro-HAMAS/pro-Hezbollah. The Detroit-area chapter of ADC is headed by FBI award revokee, marriage fraud artist, and “former” Islamic terrorist, Imad Hamad. Good to see confirmation of what we already know: that Hamad and ADC hate America and Jews, just like Wright. If only the unelected Detroit Jewish community “leaders”–who constantly pander to Hamad and who are afraid to condemn Rev. Wright–would get a clue.
Here is the announcement sent out by Hamad and his ADC crew:

Hamad, Wright, and Obama: Birds of a Feather . . .
(Hamadafat by Six Meat Buffet/Preston Taylor Holmes)

Detroit Branch NAACP to Hold Annual Fight for Freedom Dinner
On Sunday, April 27, 2008, at 5:00 p.m., the Detroit Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will hold its 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner at the Cobo Conference Center in Detroit. The event will host Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., a former pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, as its keynote speaker. ADC is a proud sponsor of this annual event.

Of course, they are.
As I’ve repeatedly noted, Hamad is a close buddy of Michigan/Ohio Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent in Charge, Brian Moskowitz a/k/a “Abu Moskowitz,” who has had Hamad to his home. He’s also tight with U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a “Abu Porno,” a Bush federal judicial nominee.
Do they agree with Rev. Wright’s views like their buddy Hamad? Bet on it.

While there are several new offerings at theaters, this weekend, I can’t recommend any of them. They are all skipworthy. Rent something, or try to see “Flawless,” “The Bank Job,” or “The Counterfeiters,” all already in theaters. I did not screen “Young at Heart,” due to scheduling conflicts, and I did not screen “Deception,” as I was told it was not being screened for critics, a bad sign.
* “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay“: As my friend, Sirius Patriot Channel host Mike Church (on whose show I do movie reviews every Friday morning) says, the audience of young, stupid frat boys, etc. that will go to see this movie, are the same crowd that are working for and will vote for Barack Hussein Obama. And whatta coincidence!–star Kal Penn is spending his time campaigning for Obama.

As I predicted, this movie is more Gitmo Trutherism from Hollywood and other similar political BS. No, Americans aren’t held at Gitmo, nor are aliens taken from American soil to that detention facility. So, right off the bat, this vulgar comedy is entirely BS. This very raunchy movie was completely disgusting, full of bathroom humor and constant gratuitous vagina, penis, and breast shots . . . so many it could have been a porn movie. Plus it made a political statement: that our counterterrorism policy is a racist, degrading over-reaction carried out by complete idiots. Well, at least, they got the last part right.
This sequel to “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” takes place the day after the setting of that movie. Harold and Kumar are traveling to Amsterdam, where they can realize their dream of smoking endless legalized pot. But Kumar sneaks a make-shift bong on the plane, and it is mistaken for a bomb. They are accused of being terrorists by the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, who is a complete idiot (yes, it does resemble real life in certain ways) and a racist. The two pot-smoking Americans of color are sent to Gitmo, where all inmates are forced to perform oral sex on the guards. That’s how they are, er, “fed.” Gross.
They escape and try to get to Texas, where their acquaintance, a son of one of President Bush’s close buddy, can help them get out of the terrorism charges. Problem is, he’s also about to marry the woman of Kumar’s dreams and he wants to stop that. Meanwhile, Homeland Security is tracking them, and they run into their old friend, Neil Patrick Harris (of “Doogie Howser” fame).
There isn’t one good White person in this entire movie. Even a biracial TSA screener is a “bad guy.” All White people in the movie are stupid, hickish, inbred, racist, evil, or some combination thereof. President Bush is a major pot-smoking hypocrite (well, they, again, get the second part right). The movie also makes fun of Jews as cheap and money-grubbing, but, hey, it’s written by self-hating Jews, so I guess that means it’s okay (by Hollywood “standards”). All White Americans are to be mocked and disrespected–that’s the message of this highly annoying and sickening movie.
While it has its very funny moments, skip this movie if you have any taste or class whatsoever. Or if you have a conscience. Cinema for the sub-human.
* “Baby Mama“: The former SNL-team of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler star in this flick about a career woman and exec (Fey) at a Whole Foods-esque supermarket chain who suddenly decides she wants to become a single mother but can’t conceive. She decides to enlist a surrogate mother (Poehler), a hick from a nearby Philly neighborhood, to have her child. Unfortunately, the surrogate moves in with her and “hilarity” ensues.
This movie wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be–Steve Martin is hilarious as a silly, new-aged CEO of the organic supermarket chain–but it isn’t great either. It has its funny moments, but mostly, it’s just stupid. And it’s very predictable. It doesn’t completely glorify becoming a single mother, as I thought it would, though.

* “Chicago 10“: Almost 40 years after Yippie protesters disrupted the 1968 Democratic National Convention, this inane, annoying, and phony documentary attempts to glorify these 8(7) men who made life hell for Chicago police, residents, convention delegates, and a federal judge. The movie literally gave me a headache. And it doesn’t explain why the “Chicago Seven” (originally, “Chicago Eight”) are now called the “Ten.” Either someone did so many drugs then, he can’t add, or he’s adding the two prosecutors.
I admit that I walked out on this so-called “documentary,” which alternates between animated re-creations of the Chicago 7 trial and news footage of real-life interviews with them at the time they planned and carried out their violent “non-violent” protests. With the constant loud music, bad accents (from Boston, etc.) using the voices of B-movie actors, and the one-sided presentation of the motives, behavior, and results thereof of the Chicago 7, this movie was a boring, aimless piece of propaganda and a waste of my time.
Take my lead, and don’t waste your time.
* “The Grand“: This over-the-top comedy that is supposed to parody the real-life “World Series of Poker” was mostly very stupid and not funny. It stars, among others, Woody Harrelson. If you love poker, you might like this, but probably not. A waste of time.

* “The Visitor“: This debuted in New York and L.A. a few weeks ago and is in nationwide release, this weekend. The premise–that Muslim illegal aliens brighten up Americans’ lives and are unfairly treated by our country and its policies–is absurd. Heavily marketed to the Islamic and Arabic communities in America, I will be posting a full column review of this high quality Bin Laden cinema, very soon. Stay tuned.

Remember how Barack Hussein Obama told us that what we heard from Rev. Wright were “just snippets” of a 20-year-plus career? Remember how he also told us that now that Rev. Wright is conveniently retired from Obama’s Trinity United Church that it doesn’t matter what he said? Remember how B (Hussein) O told us that if he heard the things that Rev. Wright said and if he was still the pastor that Obama would leave the church?
Well, apparently, the church now wants to avoid putting Obama in any inconvenient situations that would set the scenario where those excuses wouldn’t work anymore.
In anticipation of newly-retired Trinity pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s speech, Sunday, to the Detroit NAACP, Detroit Free Press reporter Naomi R. Patton visited the church. Her report makes clear that the church is not trying to avoid future “G-d Damn America”s and future anti-Semitic statements. They are simply trying to keep you from finding out that this continues to go on at the Hussein Obamas’ church:

New Osecrecy @ Obama’s Bigoted Church

The pulpit was dedicated in March as sacred ground through June in honor of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 36 years as pastor. The designation shows that Wright — officially senior pastor since retiring in February — looms large even when he’s not physically in the church.
Visitors approaching church entrances are immediately greeted by signs on the glass doors directing members of the news media to sign in at the front desk. More signs warn: “NO CAMERA & NO RECORDING DEVICES.”
It is the most obvious reference to the months-long imbroglio involving video clips of some of Wright’s past sermons — considered unpatriotic and racist by some critics — that ensnared the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who attends the church.
On the wall behind the front desk, a small plaque reads: “Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian.” The church’s media staff — comprised of a minister of communications, a media coordinator, and a media director for Wright and Moss and their staffs — has grown more media savvy over the past year. . . .
Reporters, who have attended the church every Sunday for the past month, according to Media Coordinator/Deacon Donna Hammond-Miller, are chaperoned.
Notepads are not allowed in the 2,700-seat sanctuary. Interviews with members cannot be conducted on church property. . . .
Before offerings last Sunday, [Rev. Otis] Moss [III], who has a master’s degree in divinity from Yale University and a doctorate in theology from the University of Denver, asked members to give a bit more to help pay for the additional security staff the church has hired this year.

The Detroit Free Press’ headline for this story calls Obama’s newly-secretive church, “Media Savvy.” I call it what it is, a cover-up. Clearly, they are trying very hard to hide something.
Just what is the Hussein Obamas’ church afraid reporters might see and hear?
Does Hillary’s church (if she belongs to one) have this kind of secrecy and security? My synagogue doesn’t.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****
As you probably already know, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is speaking at this weekend’s Detroit NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner.
What you may not know is that Detroit’s organized, unelected, unrepresentative Jewish community is unwilling to speak out against Rev. Wright, despite his open anti-Semitism, anti-Israel, and–most important–anti-American sentiments. And what you may also not know is that Detroit’s Muslim community has been so enabled by these unelected “Jewish leaders” that it is lavishing very thick praise upon Rev. Wright.
These Three Stooges . . .

Won’t Condemn Anti-Semitic, Anti-American Rev. Jeremiah Wright . . .


Obigot by Reader Tom of Hawaii
I’ll begin with the “Religion of Peace.” I’ve long criticized Detroit Newsistan editorial page editor Nolan Finley for making his pages the new home to Hezbollah, HAMAS, and other agents of terror. He has the dubious distinction of being the only editorial editor of a major newspaper to give an agent of Hezbollah and an employee of the late Ayatollah Khomeini–Imam Mohammed Ali Elahi–a regular column in which to spew his hate. I also blame the Jews. The unrepresentative Jewish Community Council of Detroit constantly broke pita with this guy. And I blame Bush judicial nominee, U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a “Abu Porno,” for going to this guy’s mosque and repeatedly applauding and praising him, including his support for Hezbollah.
Today, Elahi–whose mosque is said to be the second largest in North America–wrote this, in an anti-Semitic diatribe against Israel:

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a shining light, bringing dignity and integrity to our nation. His voice represents the mission of Jesus and the call for freedom and justice. This voice of truth and peace has become a victim of hateful media harassment. . . .
Wright has already proved his love and loyalty to our country in his many years of military service and in three decades of community leadership. He is not one of those church leaders who sold their souls to politics with no service to the image and moral salvation of this nation.

Good to know that one of the most extremist imams (repetitive phrase) and former Khomeini sidekick is now an expert on the “mission of Jesus.”
More:

Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi . . . said that during his sermon this afternoon at his mosque he plans to “condemn the unfair treatment” that he says Wright “received by some media members who are ignoring this faith leader’s decades of dedication and services to this country and nation.”
Elahi said in a release that he plans to make his remarks during today’s Friday sermon, which is traditionally the most attended service in Islamic centers, ahead of Wright’s talk Sunday in Detroit at an NAACP dinner.

Then, there are the “Jews.” Here is some of what Rabbi Aaron Bergman–who, sadly, heads a Jewish school and will soon have a major position at a key Detroit synagogue and who is a fan of Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison and defender of animal abuser Michael Vick–wrote to temper his withering statement about Rev. Wright:

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright served his country admirably in the military. He has been a vigilant fighter for the rights of African-Americans and has shown unusual sensitivity to those struggling with HIV/AIDS and those in the gay community. . . .
There is a long way to go before we eradicate racism and other great wrongs. . . .
The NAACP may honor whomever it wishes. I hope, though, that other powerful voices at the dinner will call for a true love of all people and a desire for fairness for everyone.

Wow. So glad we Jews and Americans have such a vocal, strong advocate on our side. Thanks, Rabbi. Didn’t you know Passover is a time to celebrate freedom from bondage, not praise Pharoah?
Would love to see how the esteemed rabbi would temper criticism of Goebbels in the early 1940s:

They have acted admirably in making the trains run on time. They and Dr. Mengele have been vigilant in providing free medical care, unusually sensitive to the needs of those in (Warsaw) ghetto neighborhoods.

And finally, there’s my fave super-Jew, Robert Cohen of the Detroit Jewish Community Council–the man who goes out of his way to defend extremist Muslims and anti-Semites. On Rev. Wright, he would only say this:

“We hope that (Wright’s) comments Sunday serve to unite a broader community, rather than divide it,” said Robert Cohen, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Bloomfield Hills. He declined further comment.

So glad he’s lookin’ out for the Jews. And so glad he’s lookin’ out for America. Here’s what he might’ve said in 1940:

We hope that Goebbels’ comments Sunday serve to unite a broader community rather than divide it. Beyond that, I decline to further comment.

It should speak volumes that to get a Jewish leader to speak out against the anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Israel Rev. Wright, the Detroit papers had to go all the way to Pennsylvania, so wimpy and spineless is the Jewish establishment of Detroit:

The Zionist Organization of America, a New York-based Jewish activist group with a membership of more than 30,000 members nationally, called for the Detroit NAACP to rescind its invitation to Wright in an April 14 letter to Anthony.
Morton Klein, the organization’s national director, said he was not sure whether the local chapter will hold a protest at Sunday’s dinner.
“This is a man who has promoted hatred against America, Jews and whites and it’s almost totally based on lies. Jeremiah Wright owes an apology to America,” said Klein. “This is the type of person the NAACP should be fighting. I just don’t understand the NAACP culture in Detroit to make this invitation.”

Thanks, Rabbi Bergman and Mr. Cohen, for adding yet more shining examples of the stereotype of the weak, liberal, defenseless Jew.
Goebbels only wishes he lived today.
*** UPDATE: An astute reader from Ireland writes:

Black Americans want to do away with racism, but pray tell, how do you do this when their premier association has a RACISTS of the highist degree?
This man is pure poison and should be denied by everyone who is a Christian and also all Jews who are the founding Fathers of Christianity.
God help us all, when Jews who are the most fervent defenders of Freedom in all it’s forms cannot find in it’s heart to rage against this BIGOT and JEW HATER.
God Bless.

Amen, Brother.

It’s a damned good thing George W. Bush wasn’t President during World War II. Were that the case, all administration officials would have been muzzled from uttering these words: Gestapo, Third Reich, Concentration Camp, Auschwitz, Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, Thereisenstadt, Luftwaffen, Waffen, SS, Einsatzgrupen, etc.
After all, it might offend the German-American Bund. And it might enhance the popularity of Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany and lend them credibility.
That’s the new official Bush policy, laid out on a classified memo sent out to federal officials at the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counter Terrorism Center. Oh, and by the way, the Bush administration is still pretending Bin Laden isn’t the most popular personality in the Islamic world and that jihad doesn’t mean “holy war.” I heard “concentration camp” means “exclusive resort”:

The View From the Bush Administration Mirror

Don’t call them jihadists any more.
And don’t call al-Qaida a movement.
The Bush administration has launched a new front in the war on terrorism, this time targeting language.
Federal agencies, including the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center, are telling their people not to describe Islamic extremists as “jihadists” or “mujahedeen,” according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Lingo like “Islamo-fascism” is out, too.
The reason: Such words may actually boost support for radicals among Arab and Muslim audiences by giving them a veneer of religious credibility or by causing offense to moderates.

Um, hello . . . . Bin Laden is the most popular Muslim–to other Muslims–on the planet. “Veneer”? He wears the thick cloak of Islamic credibility, and it ain’t comin’ off anytime soon. Moderates? What moderates? In which cave are they hiding? They’re harder to find than Bin Laden, himself.

For example, while Americans may understand “jihad” to mean “holy war,” it is in fact a broader Islamic concept of the struggle to do good, says the guidance prepared for diplomats and other officials tasked with explaining the war on terror to the public. Similarly, “mujahedeen,” which means those engaged in jihad, must be seen in its broader context.

BS, BS, BS, BS . . . . No-one believes these fairy-tales any more. No-one, apparently, except the Bushies, and those underaged tots reading Brothers Grimm.

U.S. officials may be “unintentionally portraying terrorists, who lack moral and religious legitimacy, as brave fighters, legitimate soldiers or spokesmen for ordinary Muslims,” says a Homeland Security report. It’s entitled “Terminology to Define the Terrorists: Recommendations from American Muslims.”

A far better title: “The Official Bush Admin PC BS Memo.”

“Regarding ‘jihad,’ even if it is accurate to reference the term, it may not be strategic because it glamorizes terrorism, imbues terrorists with religious authority they do not have and damages relations with Muslims around the world,” the report says.

They have plenty of religious authority. If the Bushies don’t know that by now (and they know, they just don’t want to admit it), they’ve been in a more remote cave than Bin Laden.

Language is critical in the war on terror, says another document, an internal “official use only” memorandum circulating through Washington entitled “Words that Work and Words that Don’t: A Guide for Counterterrorism Communication.”
The memo, originally prepared in March by the Extremist Messaging Branch at the National Counter Terrorism Center, was approved for diplomatic use this week by the State Department, which plans to distribute a version to all U.S. embassies, officials said.
“It’s not what you say but what they hear,” the memo says in bold italic lettering, listing 14 points about how to better present the war on terrorism.
“Don’t take the bait,” it says, urging officials not to react when Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida affiliates speak. “We should offer only minimal, if any, response to their messages. When we respond loudly, we raise their prestige in the Muslim world.”

How do you raise Bin Laden’s and Al-Qaeda’s prestige from the top spot they now occupy? Maybe bring Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat back from their vacay with the 72 dark-eyed re-virginized.

“Don’t compromise our credibility” by using words and phrases that may ascribe benign motives to terrorists.
Some other specifics:
* “Never use the terms ‘jihadist’ or ‘mujahedeen’ in conversation to describe the terrorists. … Calling our enemies ‘jihadis’ and their movement a global ‘jihad’ unintentionally legitimizes their actions.”
* “Use the terms ‘violent extremist’ or ‘terrorist.’ Both are widely understood terms that define our enemies appropriately and simultaneously deny them any level of legitimacy.”
* On the other hand, avoid ill-defined and offensive terminology: “We are communicating with, not confronting, our audiences. Don’t insult or confuse them with pejorative terms such as ‘Islamo-fascism,’ which are considered offensive by many Muslims.”
The memo says the advice is not binding and does not apply to official policy papers but should be used as a guide for conversations with Muslims and media.
At least at the top level, it appears to have made an impact. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once frequently referred to “jihad” in her public remarks, does not appear to have used the word, except when talking about the name of a specific terrorist group, since last September.
The memo mirrors advice distributed to British and European Union diplomats last year to better explain the war on terrorism to Muslim communities there.

Yup, we should copy British and European policies towards Muslims . . . because they’ve worked sooooooo well.

It also draws heavily on the Homeland Security report that examined the way American Muslims reacted to different phrases used by U.S. officials to describe terrorists and recommended ways to improve the message.

Who gives a whit how they respond? When will we start caring about how we’ll survive?

Because of religious connotations, that report, released in January and obtained by AP this week, counseled “caution in using terms such as, ‘jihadist,’ ‘Islamic terrorist,’ ‘Islamist,’ and ‘holy warrior’ as grandiose descriptions.”
“We should not concede the terrorists’ claim that they are legitimate adherents of Islam,” the report said, adding that bin Laden and his adherents fear “irrelevance” more than anything else.

We should not concede that eating 20 pizzas means you’re consuming a lot of calories. It might give relevance to Weight Watchers and dieticians, who badly crave it.

“We must carefully avoid giving bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders the legitimacy they crave, but do not possess, by characterizing them as religious figures, or in terms that may make them seem to be noble in the eyes of some,” it said. [DS: See above comment.]

I don’t like Jimmy “Jhimmi” Carter, but this is a story I do believe. Carter says that Condi Clueless and her chosen State Dept. deputy didn’t tell him not to meet with HAMAS and weren’t opposed to it.
I think the story is true because it jibes with Condi Clueless recent and past statements. In the last three months, she’s called HAMAS, “the Islamic resistance” at least as many times. That’s a bad Freudian slip, which we know reflects her truly feelings that the group is some sort of legitimate fighting force engaged in defense, not the murder of innocent civilians. It jibes with her constant pressuring of Israel to give up more and more for an equally anathema group, Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah.
Here’s what Jimmuh has to say:

Condi Clueless Didn’t Object to Jimmuh’s HAMAS Confab

In an interview with USA TODAY, Carter said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was “mistaken” and “misinformed” about warnings she says her office gave advising him not to meet with Hamas, which the U.S. government has declared a terrorist organization. . . .
Where Rice “gets this repetitive claim that I was warned and advised not to go and urged not to go – she’s completely mistaken,” he said. “I think she’s being misinformed. I don’t think Condoleezza is deliberately lying, but the statement she’s making is false.” [DS: I do think she’s deliberately lying. Wouldn’t be the first time.]
Earlier in the day, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said his agency stands by its statements that Carter was urged against meeting with Hamas. “We’ve been absolutely, 100% consistent in our statements from the beginning,” he said. “We stand by those statements.” [DS: Yeah, he’s paid to lie, er . . . say that.] . . .
[Carter] said he spoke for 15 minutes with Rice’s deputy. The State Department said Carter spoke with Assistant Secretary of State David Welch.
“He never said anything about ‘Don’t go to the Mideast. Don’t meet with Hamas. Don’t meet with Syria.’ He never said anything like that,” Carter said. “That was the only person in the government with whom I’ve discussed it.”

Of course, not. Why would they tell him not to meet with Syria, when they were okay with Jihad Darrell a/k/a GOP Congressman Darrell Issa meeting with Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad?
As readers know, I despise Jimmy Carter and his anti-Israel hate, and I don’t agree with him on anything (except maybe a taste for peanuts). But, again, I don’t doubt that Jhimmi’s version is the truthful one. This is the State Department–worse, Condi Clueless’ and George Bush’s State Dept.
Bush wants to create and get credit for a “peace” deal between Israel and the Palestinians so badly that I believe he wants HAMAS in the mix (which he knows is necessary, as HAMAS represents the majority of Palestinians, not Fatah’s Abbas).

A federal judge ruled that a Louisiana public school can no longer distribute Bibles because it’s a “religious activity with no secular purpose.” Judge Carl A. Barbier ruled that the distribution of the Bibles was “coercive.” The ACLU represented a student who sued over the Bible distribution.
This is the same ACLU that won’t sue the University of Michigan-Dearborn over Muslim footbaths, which I suppose have the “secular” purpose of Islam.
My question is this: What if the public school was distributing Korans, as I am told often happens at Dearbornistan’s Fordson High School?
Do you think the ACLU would sue? Do you think a judge would rule it unconstitutional? Think again.

No, Clint Eastwood is not dead. He’s still very much alive.
But “Dirty Harry,” the character that made him a big star, is very much dead. Rigor mortis long ago set in, when Eastwood began his years-long repentance tour around Hollywood for having played the conservative, no-nonsense law and order cop.
When Eastwood made the pro-euthanasia, bait-and-switch “Million Dollar Baby,” Dirty Harry went into a coma. When he made the anti-American “Flags of Our Fathers,” Dirty Harry’s heart stopped beating. And with “Letters from Iwo Jima,” which showed American soldiers on the WWII island battlefield as heartless killers, Dirty Harry was dead. When Eastwood told USA Today, he thought there might be some “great stories” from Al-Qaeda’s point of view to tell onscreen, rigor mortis set in to the body of Dirty Harry.

Dirty Harry is Dead
Now, Eastwood has decided to make a sixth Dirty Harry film, “Gran Torino,” to be filmed in Michigan (now that suffering Michigan taxpayers will be subsidizing the film under a stupid new law). But, aside from Eastwood being a gazillion years old, there’s a great reason not to make this film.
With Eastwood’s liberal, anti-war politics–which he’s adopted to do penance to Hollywood for daring to play Dirty Harry in the first place–Dirty Harry is dead. Gone. Forever.
Don’t go ahead. Don’t make my day. I don’t feel lucky.
Dirty Harry is Dead. DO NOT RESUSCITATE.
