Worth Defending

By Tammy Derouin

There are several examples of what is coming our way.  The Middle East is an inferno.  Saudi Arabia, known for being the “home of Islam,” is building a fence to protect their country from radical Islamic extremists.  But in all fairness, calling it a fence is deceiving.  It’s a high tech security system with several layers of protection which includes fencing but also ditches, sensors, rapid response vehicles, helicopters and watch towers. 

Now let’s think about this for a moment.  Wouldn’t that be like Vatican City building a fence to keep Christian out?  I suppose many on the left would argue that there are extreme Christians.  But, what is their definition of an extreme Christian?   Christians are not handing out death sentences to non-believers.  They are not stoning homosexuals.  They are not oppressing women, honor killing, beheading or burning people alive.  I think even the left would have a difficult time concluding that all extremism is equal. 

Another interesting fact is that the Saudis’ feel their country is worth defending.  They understand the threat of ISIS/ISIL.  They understand, so they naturally want to protect themselves.

WRONG AGAIN: Greenland’s Ice Sheet Defies Critics With 4-Year High | The Daily Caller:

“Global sea ice is at a record high, another key indicator that something is working in the opposite direction of what was predicted,” Peiser said. “Most people think the poles are melting… they’re not. This is a huge inconvenience that reality is now catching up with climate alarmists, who were predicting that the poles would be melting fairly soon.”
The evidence keeps growing, just like the ice at both poles. 

Despite having tickets, journalists barred from 'Defend the Prophet' event

Despite having tickets, journalists barred from 'Defend the Prophet' event - National Conservative | Examiner.com:

GARLAND, Tx: On Monday night it was revealed that Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters of the Watters' World segnent on the O'Reilly Factor was barred from the 'Defend the Prophet' conference in Garland Texas on Saturday. Other journalists were allowed to enter the premises, but only for the first twenty minutes.

As reported at Fox News, Watters explained that his ticket was "revoked" as he landed in Dallas by representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who were evidently "gatekeeping the press attendance." Watters opted to interview some of the attendees outside of the conference, which was held at the Curtis Culwell Center.

The invitation for the event explains that "[H]ate groups in the U.S. have invested at least $160 million dollars to attack our Prophet and Islam" but does not go into specifics. The organizers continue to say that "accusations [against Islam] were invented by Islamophobes in America."

Watters asked one of the attendees about a controversial keynote speaker, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who is an "unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing" as reported at the Washington Times. The unnamed attendee responded angrily that the assertion was "propaganda."

Wahhaj was also quoted as making many divisive comments, including:

If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.

ANOTHER amazing true story about an American hero-------Here’s What American Sniper Chris Kyle Said About His Killing Two Men at a Gas Station in 2009

Here’s What American Sniper Chris Kyle Said About His Killing Two Men at a Gas Station in 2009 | FrontBurner | D Magazine:
"Chris Kyle was incredible.
He was simply an incredible, real-life action hero.
Before his death, he was already known as the deadliest sniper in American history and as a best-selling author.
Since his death, a few reporters have heard trickles of other stories.
Around Midlothian, one story in particular has been raising eyebrows.
It goes something like this: when he was first back from Iraq, in 2009, Chris Kyle killed two armed men who were attempting to carjack him at a gas station.
I first heard this story more than a year ago.
It hasn’t made the news much."

Liberal Senator’s Spouse to Earn $1 Billion from Government Deal

Liberal Senator’s Spouse to Earn $1 Billion from Government Deal:

"Oddly enough, the mainstream media who dutifully reports on fictitious wars on women and the dangers of conservative political donors have been largely MIA in discussing the blatant conflict of interest taking place in Washington.

The New York Post reports on this outrage:

Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich?"

Nanny of the week: Towns ban sledding

Nanny of the week: Towns ban sledding « Watchdog.org:
"From Iowa to New Jersey, from Nebraska to Oklahoma, more towns are passing rules than ban sledding, tobogganing, tubing and other kinds of winter-sliding-down-the-hillside fun.
As Free Range Kids reported earlier this month, the problem is that people do sometimes get hurt while sledding.
And sometimes, those people — or their parents — filelawsuits and try to get taxpayers to pay outlandish settlements over those mishaps."

New Tea Party Caucus Chairman: ‘If We Sit By, Obama Will Take Over More of Our Lives and Our Liberties’:

"Thomas began the interview by saying, “A lot of people are demoralized right now and feel like giving up because people are not listening in Washington. Talk to the camera. Tell people why they shouldn’t give up and what gives you hope.” 

Rep. Huelskamp responded, “What gives me hope is that fact that we’ve been gifted with a truly blessed nation, a blessed system of the Constitution, and we have a responsibility not only to the past, but to the future — I’ve got four children. And like many Moms and Dads, I’m worried about the future.”

Montgomery County neglect inquiry shines spotlight on ‘free-range’ parenting

Montgomery County neglect inquiry shines spotlight on ‘free-range’ parenting - The Washington Post:
"Two days after the story of their children’s unsupervised walk home from a park became the latest flash point in an ongoing cultural debate about what constitutes responsible parenting, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv were still explaining their “old-fashioned” methods of child-rearing.
They eat dinner with their children.
They enforce bedtimes, restrict screen times and assign chores.
They go to synagogue.
More controversially, they let their 10-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter venture out together to walk or play without adults.
“How have we gotten so crazy that what was just a normal childhood a generation ago is considered radical?”
Danielle Meitiv asked in the living room of her Silver Spring home as yet another news crew dropped by to question the couple.
She and her husband are facing an investigation for neglect, they say, after allowing their children to walk together unaccompanied from a Silver Spring park along busy Georgia Avenue toward home, a mile south.
They made it halfway before police picked the children up, alerted after someone called....

Police Raided Christian Parents’ Home Searching for ‘Miracle’ Substance. They Reportedly Left with Couple’s Seven Kids. | Video | TheBlaze.com

Police Raided Christian Parents’ Home Searching for ‘Miracle’ Substance. They Reportedly Left with Couple’s Seven Kids. | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Hal Stanley, a husband and father from Hot Springs, Arkansas, answered a knock at his door last Monday to find police officers surrounding his home in possession of a search warrant. The nightmare ordeal ended hours later with officers reportedly taking his seven kids for at least 72 hours.

State police and Garland County officers were apparently looking for a “miracle” supplement that claims to help treat cancer and other illnesses. The product is not illegal and can be purchased online, but the FDA has warned of serious health concerns regarding the product. The agency claims the product, Miracle Mineral Solution, can morph into a bleach and cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."


So does this mean that everyone's house will be raided?  There are a lot more LEGAL medications available which cause much worse side affects.
The government is flexing its muscle.  They don't want anyone to make their own decisions.  You become even more of a target if you dare to be self-reliant.

Video: Islamic State Threatens to Kill Two Hostages Unless Japan Pays $200 Million in 72 Hours | TheBlaze.com:

"An online video released Tuesday purported to show the Islamic State group threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive a $200 million ransom in the next 72 hours.

The video, identified as being made by the Islamic State group’s al-Furqan media arm and posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, mirrored other hostage threats it has made. The militant in it also directly addresses Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, now on a six-day visit to the Middle East with more than 100 government officials and presidents of Japanese companies."

Bumped---Best Film in Decades: American Sniper Breaks All-Time Record for Limited Release

We saw it yesterday afternoon in liberal, Dillon CO.

A Monday afternoon, 4:30.

The theatre was packed.

At the end of the movie, everyone sat quietly to watch the credits to the end.

Maybe to get control of our emotions.....

No one left until credits ended and lights went on.

Complete silence as we left the theatre.

Another big line was formed up for the next show.

Amazing movie.

Made me proud to be in the same country as those brave hereos.

MUST SEE!

Best Film in Decades: American Sniper Breaks All-Time Record for Limited Release | Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs
"Longtime readers of Atlas Shrugs know how much I love movies — not the dreck that’s served up today, but the great golden age of Hollywood, when America was a proud force for good. Every Saturday night, I run a movie from that era that reminds my readers who and what we are and could be.

Tonight I saw a film that all Americans should see. Finally, a modern film that made me proud to be an American:  American Sniper. It tells the truth about the war we are in and the savages we are fighting (a word used repeatedly, I might add).

Every film about war about and since Vietnam, with few exceptions, has been a left-wing hate-filled attack on America. Proud, patriotic films about American heroism and goodness have gone the way of all great American  institutions, such as individualism, liberty, and capitalism under the decades-long siege by the left.

Clint Eastwood can join the pantheon of great American directors such as Frank Capra and John Ford, proud Americans who loved their country and made films that reflected the culture of the good. We owe Clint Eastwood a huge debt...

“Did you fill out the media form?” a man appearing to be an organizer asked Watters outside the ”Stand With the Prophet” event.
“Yeah, I filled out the media form and I bought tickets too, personally,” the Fox News producer replied. “And now they’re saying I can’t go in.”

“There’s a certain type of media allowed,” the man replied to Watters.

“I thought this was supposed to be open press and I came all the way down here from New York,” Watters countered as the man walked away."

Feel-good story of the day-----Robber’s Last Words in NJ Fatal Shooting

Robber’s Last Words in NJ Fatal Shooting:
"A Newark, New Jersey deli owner who shot and killed an armed man will not face charges, police and prosecutors say.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray as well as Newark Police Director Eugene Venable say that the owner of the deli had a permit for the gun that he used to defend himself.
New Jersey is notorious for having some of the strictest gun regulations in the nation.
The robber apparently thought that meant there was no legal way for his would-be victims to arm themselves.
According to Guns.buzz, Mark Robinson’s last words inside the New Neighborhood Deli Supermarket were “I thought you couldn’t own a gun in New Jersey.”
Robinson, 46, had walked into the deli around 8:30 p.m. and immediately pointed a gun at the owner, who didn’t hesitate to pull his own weapon and fire.
Robinson was pronounced dead at around 10 pm."

"As the Daily Caller  reported, Carson has received thousands of campaign contributions from both CAIR and ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, another Islamist group.
Additionally, Carson revealed where his loyalties lie when he said in May of 2012, that America’s schools should be modeled after Islamic madrassas, using the Koran as the foundation of education. 
“America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Quran,” Rep. Carson said in a speech.

EPA’s Ban On Wood Burning Stoves Just Days From Taking Effect

EPA’s Ban On Wood Burning Stoves Just Days From Taking Effect | Off The Grid News:
"The Environmental Protection Agency is set to finalize a set of regulations in February that critics say will effectively ban production of 80 percent of the wood- and pellet-burning stoves in America.
The EPA had published a set of proposed regulations more than a year ago, and since then had accepted public comments.
But the regulations already are having an impact.
An advertisement for the Central Boiler Company says that company’s classic outdoor wood furnaces will be outlawed by the new regulations and will not be available later this spring.
The EPA has argued that the new regulations would improve air quality.
The regulations require stoves to burn 85 percent cleaner."

President Scott Walker? Unions Start Panicking in 5…4…3…:

"The Wisconsin Republican successfully stripped unions of substantial power in his state and though the left mounted a fiery recall effort, the effort failed and Gov. Walker emerged a hero of the right: a man who took on the powerful unions and won.

The strong-willed Republican has long been rumored to be considering a 2016 presidential run and on Thursday, those rumors became stronger.

The IRS Has Around 100,000 Employees. And Yet It's Still Incredibly Incompetent.:

"Imagine that a retail store or company like Best Buy or Home Depot announced that it has plans to slash customer service, that it will make people stand in lines for at least a half hour, and that any customer due a refund will have to wait several weeks.

Oh, and it may not be able to prevent identity theft.

That company would probably soon find itself in bankruptcy as shoppers fled to other banks or stores or restaurants where they can get first class service. That’s what America is about, and every businessman and woman knows the customer always comes first."

"Daniel Webster added: “The Constitution has enemies, secret and professed. … They have hot heads and cold hearts. They are rash, reckless, and fierce for change, and with no affection for the existing institutions of their country. … Other enemies there are, more cool, and with more calculation. These have a deeper and more fixed and dangerous purpose. … There are those in the country, who profess, in their own words, even to hate the Constitution.

“Friends of the Constitution must rally and unite … act, with immovable firmness, like a band of brothers, with moderation and conciliation … looking only to the great object set before them, the preservation of the Constitution, bequeathed to them by their ancestors. They must gird up their loins for the work. It is a duty which they owe to these ancestors, and to the generations which are to succeed them.”

Folks, our universities are not broke! They are stealing us blind!!!------Final Report Issued on $5.4 Million Forgivable Loan Program for University of Texas Law Profs

Our children are drowning in debt and these crooks are scamming "forgivable loans" that violated EVERY university rule!
TaxProf Blog: Final Report Issued on $5.4 Million Forgivable Loan Program for University of Texas Law Profs:

"Supplemental compensation from a foundation to University of Texas law professors lacked transparency and violated accountability standards and university rules, whether intentionally or as the product of negligence, according to a much-delayed report by the state attorney general’s office.
The report said there is no question that forgivable loans, second mortgages and housing allowances from the UT Law School Foundation helped place the school in a competitive position when it comes to recruiting and retaining faculty members.
“The failure to provide the UT System and Regents the full picture of compensation is subject to one of many narratives depending upon the source,” the report said.
“Whether this failure was intentional or simply negligence, the Law School’s failure to follow University rules is also without question.”"
