George Rebane

I have long maintained that I don’t understand why self-proclaimed ‘patriot’ Democrats are doing everything possible to torpedo this fair land, and make it into a shadow of a failed socialist state, or worse.  I’ll start with the worse.

Radical Islamists are already entrenched in the US among the non-radicalized silent majority of Muslims living here.  The DNC will sell anything or anybody for votes.  They consider that America’s Hispanics are in the bag by blatanty ignoring their La Raza, MALDEF, and Spanish language calls by Hispanic leaders for Reconquista, along with the open borders and illegal alien amnesty programs.  So now it’s time to pander to America’s Muslims.

Jumah2012
The DNC is going to have a big Jumah (a Muslim group prayer meeting) from which Christian ministers have been specifically excluded.  TheBlaze.com has the story.  (H/T to reader)  [also see 29aug12 update]

And then, in addition to the scheduled 1jan13 Taxmageddon, the Democrats are hell bent to go forward with the ‘sequestration’ of funds that will completely redefine America’s military capability, and its ability to contain ever more aggressive nationalistic actions by Russia, Iran, and China, in addition to becoming a non-partner in Israel’s defense.  The response of already castrated Europe will be a wild card.  Look at this schema of Democrat ‘balanced’ spending cuts – 43% of which come out of the 11% defense budget share of total spending.

SequstrationCuts
Finally, the Dems continue screaming about the ‘rich’ not paying their ‘fair share’.  Ask any progressive about what maximum fraction of the GDP should be paid to the goliath government – they won’t be able to tell you, because by their lights ‘you neither built it nor earned it; it all belongs to the people’ and the government is there to make sure they get it.

WhoPays

There’s a lot more, but don’t get me started.

[29aug12 update]  With considerable enthusiasm – “It looks like RR has run out of cards and has to blatantly make things up to please the crowd.” – some liberal readers have pointed out in the comments that the Jumah reported on above is not an event explicitly endorsed by the national Democratic leadership, but only by ‘Charlotte in 2012’ the official hosting organization of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).  Googling this event reveals that this connection, no matter how indirect, has created some considerable debate on the matter.  Hard to find is any clarification from the Democratic party setting the matter straight.  TheBlaze.com stands with its story linked above.

I stand with my commentary on the Democratic Party, and want to emphasize my belief that radical Islam knows it is through the ideology-shy and intellectually bereft Democratic channels of power and public policy machinery which provide it the easiest path to subvert America to the Islamic ideal.

[30aug12 update]  I have to include the Fox News story of a Pakistani 11-year-old facing execution – “An international coalition of churches representing more than half a
billion Christians will meet in Geneva next month to take up the plight
of an 11-year-old Christian girl who faces execution under Pakistan’s
blasphemy laws.”  Now do we take these mobs demanding the little girl’s death as the norm for ‘moderate Muslims’, since their sentiments can, are, and have been replicated in thousands of Muslim communities in the middle east (and around the world?); or are they just an isolated clutch of ragheads (q.v.) that the unfortunate Christian family had counted as their neighbors?  (H/T to Mr Tozer for bringing this to our attention in the comment stream below.)

    PaulE 1102am – “prudent shunning”? Yes, by the DNC disavowing BIMA’s claimed relationship with them.
    Don’t know about the sentiments of the attendees, but the Muslim leadership of the event have their dubious relationship cited here.

    I think I’ll insult as many people as possible and catch the 4:20 to Jumah. Really, George, just as not every Northern European is a NAZI, so not every Muslim is a terrorist.

    My, my. At least the Dems are being true to their colors and embrace their own.
    There are two forms of lying that are permitted in Islam under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. Such circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
    Basically, taqiyya is lying by saying something that isn’t true
    Birds of a feather flock together..

    Dr. Rebane 03:31pm. I am shocked! Shocked I tell ya. Psuedo diversity trumps rationality every time. Where have you been?
    Perhaps our State Department public servant could borrow the tobacco enema. He could use it for diversity training and sensitivity sessions on all the State Department’s 600,000 employees. Idle hands are the devil’s workshop and all that stuff. Maybe using his hands instead of his head will improve his thought process. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Cheer up my brother Tom. Things are looking up. Sure, everything appears down the crapper at the moment: unemployment with bleak prospects of jobs, 900 billion in interest alone due in the next ten years, millions flocking to food stamps, growing radicalism in the Middle East nations causing concern, education system down the tubes, people feeling ill at ease and thinking their children will be worse off than they. Promises stated, promises broken. A dark cloud has been hovering over our amber fields of grain.
    Time to come together my brother from a different mother. We can do it! Yes we can! Don’t lose hope. People that lose hope are prone to suicide. Our best days are ahead. Together we can. Simple but not easy. Show that backbone of yesteryear. You don’t have to live in despair. Get hold of your self man. My hand is always extended to you. No use running from Obama’s record and making excuses. We can do it. We can face the brave new world. Together rich and poor, black and white, we can rise above the pettiness and soar. Forward!

    Watch the pattern, after applause he looks straight ahead, the rest of the time he looks right or left, where the two teleprompter screens are located.

    Oh Tom, it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Be of good cheer. The darkness is passing! The dawn will break across America in short time. The sun set tonight never to return. Do not mourn for the setting sun, my sista from another mista. Instead rejoice that the sun will make all the morning glories on the fence sing aloud and sing proud. Pettiness is so beneath you. Think of your future grandchildren. We can be small or we can stand tall.

    Oh William, do not be concerned, Clint Eastwood made my night!
    “The Romney campaign seemed to grasp how Eastwood’s bizarre, rambling, unscripted speech fell flat. “Judging an American icon like Clint Eastwood through a typical political lens doesn’t work,” was the campaign’s response. Aides winced backstage, according to the Associated Press.
    Eastwood’s attacks on Obama didn’t faze the campaign. “Referring all questions on this to Salvador Dali,” Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an email to The Huffington Post.”

    Opps, try this: Not hard to a Democrat at all. Obama’s platform names Obama many times, the most of any reference. God finally got removed. Democrat platform: number of times Obama is mentioned:100. The number of times God is mentioned: 0. Maybe that will keep the atheists from doing today’s march on the DNC in Charlotte. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/democrats-shift-language-on-israel-remove-god-given-from-platform/
