Obama's views on Islam affect energy policy
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 3/4/2011 3:50:00 AM
A bestselling author and critic of Islam says President Barack Obama seems to have such a "warm and benign positive view" of Islam that he doesn't think it's necessary for the U.S. to free itself from its dependency on oil from Islamic countries.
This week oil prices topped $100 per barrel when the New York Mercantile Exchange opened for trading. Prices rose as fighting escalated in Libya, which is a major oil exporter to Europe. Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi pushed back against protestors in the eastern half of the country, battling for control of a key oil installation and an airstrip.
Â
Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute estimated that oil and gasoline supplies dropped last week in the U.S., with the American Automobile Association announcing that gasoline pump prices have risen to an average of $3.39 per gallon.
Â
Saying he means the pun intentionally, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch says Islamic countries literally have America over the barrel.
Â
"They have us caught in this because of oil," he states bluntly. "So that's why we should be opening up the Gulf for drilling and opening up the Alaskan oil reserves. These things are just commonsensical...."
Â
Spencer faults the responses of the past two administrations.
Â
"[George W.] Bush was tied in with the Saudis. I don't know what his motives were, but ultimately he did nothing to stop this foreign dependence," the Jihad Watch leader says. "And Barack Obama seems to have such a warm and benign positive view of Islam that he doesn't think that it's necessary to free us from this foreign dependence."
Â
Spencer says the United States is in a very bad position as a result of this energy policy.

Thanks Judi... I think... Detroit's multiculturalism
Scary stuff!
If you don't believe it, just watch some of the street shots on ABC's " Detroit 1-8-7" which airs at 10 PM on Tuesdays.
Multiculturalism: Detroit
(Frosty Wooldridge (born 1947) is a US Journalist, writer, environmentalist, traveler)
By Frosty Wooldridge
For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan . I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs, and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses, and school yards. Trash everywhere!
Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps!
With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.
A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson's 'Great Society' flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.
Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees... He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, "I am the MFIC." The IC meant "in charge". You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.
As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state.
Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan, but most work in Detroit . As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.
As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife!
Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America .
Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan , paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America . English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.
Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In Time Magazine's October 4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again," I choked on the writer's description of what happened. "If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we'd know a lot more about it," said Daniel Okrent. "If drought, and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we'd see it on the evening news every night."
Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.
But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th, and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.
Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision making."
As Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs, and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit .
"By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership.
The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit , the unemployment rate is 28.9%. That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent." At the end of Okrent's report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, "That's because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city's collapse, it's also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century. If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can't find a way to get up, what does that say about our future?"
As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner's book, "$20 Per Gallon", the auto industry won't come back. Immigration will keep pouring more, and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit , thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America . If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.
You have already seen it in Madrid , Spain , London , England and Paris , France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder.
We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers, and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying.
Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country, and way of life.

TN 's anti-shariah law heats up One-News Now

TN's anti-sharia debate heats up
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 3/3/2011 4:00:00 AM
A radical Islamic group is pressuring Tennessee lawmakers to drop legislation aimed at keeping sharia law out of The Volunteer State.
Â
According to The Tennessean, the anti-sharia initiative has been introduced in the Senate by State Senator Bill Ketron, and in the Assembly by State Representative Judd Matheny. The twin bills are aimed at providing a powerful counter-terrorism tool to state and local law enforcement by allowing for civil and/or criminal penalties against anyone providing material support or resources to terrorist organizations.
Â
But recently the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a front group for the terrorist organization Hamas, held a news conference attempting to use scare tactics to convince the legislators to drop the bill.
Â
Guy Rodgers is executive director of Act! for America, which supports the legislation. CAIR, he says, has terrorist ties. "They are an organization that supports terrorist types of activities, such as through Hamas, and they're an organization that supports sharia," he says.
Â
According to the Act! for America spokesman, CAIR's national communications director, Ibrahim Hooper, has made statements indicative of that stance.
Â
"He wished that the government of America would be Islamic sometime in the future," says Rodgers. "So as we are taking on sharia law and its consequence, which is terrorism, not surprisingly these people are standing up -- they're screaming, they're yelling, they're saying it's a violation of freedom of religion. It's not."
Â
Rodgers says his organization believes the Tennessee legislation has been written to withstand constitutional scrutiny.

FW-Born a Lutheran, now a Catholic Thanks Judi Cole!
Born a Lutheran (lent)
Each Friday night after work, Ole would fire up his outdoor grill on the shore of Big Stone Lake and cook a venison steak. But all of Ole's neighbors were Catholic... And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks wafted over Ortonville all the way to Clinton , and was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.
The Priest came to visit Ole, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Ole attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Lutheran, and raised a Lutheran, but now you are a Catholic."
Ole's neighbors were relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood.
The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Ole's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Ole, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You vuz born a deer, you vuz raised a deer, but now you is a walleye pike."

Studs Terkel remembered in a play- Working- in Chicago
Thanks Diane Massie!
Studs Terkel, the Chicago icon I weakly enmulate in my writing, has passed on a couple of years ago at 96, but there is now a play in Chicago getting good review.
Jeanie and I have excellent and beautiful friends in Chicago and Diane Massie just wrote on my facebook wall that she will soon be seeing the play and thought of me. She knows I wanted to meet Studs, didn't, but did put an email I received from him in my "I, God, & Country" book introduction.
Diane is also the current national President of the University of Kentucky Alumni. She does excellently in whatever endeavor she undertakes. We see Diane and Jill Rappis, the other Chi friend at many UK venues and hope to see both in Catlanta next week for the SEC tournament games.
Thank you madam President! I did not know of the play, but is wonderful that you thought of me with Studs. I am anxious to hear of your thoughts, as a "Big City-Small Town" UK icon, after you see it.
