Our Constitution was a dike against tyranny

Is it only a matter of time before vegans force Walmart and other woke companies from selling meat? Or fundamental Christians forcing Amazon and other book sellers from offering the Koran? Or Hollywood liberals to blacklist Trump voters?

What if Trump Loses?

Since I recently penned a blog on the possibility of Trump winning, I have to be fair and offer suggestions in case he loses ... and his opponent, I think it is Hellary Clinton, wins:

- Everyone will be required to learn to speak Spanish

- The Clinton Foundation will absorb the Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations

- Donald Trump will lose his IRS audit to the tune of $5 billion

- Michelle Obama, Cheryl Mills and Loretta Lynch will be named to the Supreme Court

- The Koran will replace the Gideon Bible in most hotel rooms

- Bernie Sanders will "buy" a villa on Lago Como

- John Podesta will head the State Dept., Sid Blumenthal, the CIA

- Most drug stocks will tank

- George Soros will buy Philip Morris and make cannabis-only cigarettes

- Mar a Largo will be shuttered for numerous sanitary violations

- The Summer White House will be located  next to the NY Presbyterian Hospital

- Paul Ryan will switch parties

- Bill Clinton will be put out to stud

- BB guns will be the only ones allowed ... but they can't be scary looking

Abetting ISIS

Recruitment for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is helped by:

- the Guantanamo Prison for foreign combatants

- using the terms "jihadi" or "radical Islam"

- stronger vetting of Muslim immigrants

- American bombing of the ISIS oil infrastructure

 - the Second Amendment of our Constitution

- climate change ... aka, global warming

- Israel's retaliation toward Palistanian stabbers

- investigating certain American mosques

- tighter airline screenings

-  the printing of the Koran on cheap paper

- Donald Trump's hairdo

- increased pricing of Girl Scout cookies

So sayeth Obummer and the rest of the Democrats.

On Another Planet

This country, nay this world needs to be grounded in reality … else we earthlings begin to do lots of stupid things. The leader of the free world is assumed to be the President of the United States, Barack Obama, and, when he avers silliness, he unnerves the rest of us. On his way back from his recent Asian confabs he duplicated one of his more naive pronouncement … that Islam represents a religion of peace … see: Breitbart Story.

Yes, I hope that this looniness is an attempt to convince those few Muslims who don’t want a worldwide caliphate (where we all must convert to Islam or be beheaded) that they are benign beings. But, if Muslims have read the Quran (aka, Koran) like they are supposed to, they are likely prone to unnerving violence. Here are a few quotes from The Religion of Peace edited by Glen Roberts 

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule.  Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding.  Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter. 

 The strangest and most untrue thing that can be said about Islam is that it is a Religion of Peace.  If every standard by which the West is judged and condemned (slavery, imperialism, intolerance, misogyny, sexual repression, warfare...) were applied equally to Islam, the verdict would be devastating.  Islam never gives up what it conquers, be it religion, culture, language or life.  Neither does it make apologies or any real effort at moral progress.  It is the least open to dialogue and the most self-absorbed.  It is convinced of its own perfection, yet brutally shuns self-examination and represses criticism.

This is what makes the Quran's verses of violence so dangerous.  They are given the weight of divine command.  While Muslim terrorists take them as literally as anything else in their holy book, and understand that Islam is incomplete without Jihad, moderates offer little to contradict them - outside of opinion.  Indeed, what do they have?  Speaking of peace and love may win over the ignorant, but when every twelfth verse of Islam's holiest book either speaks to Allah's hatred for non-Muslims or calls for their death, forced conversion, or subjugation, it's little wonder that sympathy for terrorism runs as deeply as it does in the broader community - even if most Muslims personally prefer not to interpret their religion in this way.

Although scholars like Ibn Khaldun, one of Islam's most respected philosophers, understood that "the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force", many other Muslims are either unaware or willfully ignorant of the Quran's near absence of verses that preach universal non-violence.  Their understanding of Islam comes from what they are taught by others.  In the West, it is typical for believers to think that their religion must be like Christianity - preaching the New Testament virtues of peace, love, and tolerance - because Muslims are taught that Islam is supposed to be superior in every way.  They are somewhat surprised and embarrassed to learn that the evidence of the Quran and the bloody history of Islam are very much in contradiction to this.

 and …

For their part, Western liberals would do well not to sacrifice critical thinking to the god of political correctness, or look for reasons to bring other religion down to the level of Islam merely to avoid the existential truth that this it is both different and dangerous.

Our president certainly is an archetypal Western liberal … living on another planet where political correctness is worshiped to a fault.

Summer Reading

I have reason to believe that President Obama and Secretary of State, John Kerry, can read. They both graduated from college and graduate school did they not? So why is it that the United States, under these clowns’ aegis, is giving 47 million U.S. taxpayer dollars effectively to the terrorist organization, Hamas … see: Pamela Geller Article.  Hamas will obviously not use most of this money to help the poor Palestinians, but to continue to do their evil deeds. Hamas has sworn in their charter to annulated all the Jews, viz:

The Last Hour would not come until the Muslims
fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill
them, and until the Jews would hide themselves
behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree
would say. Muslim or Servant of Allah there is a
Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree of
Gharqad would not say it, for it is the tree of the
Jew. (from the Koran and the Hamas Charter)

And, if it had the resources, Hamas would obliterate the total of Israel in a heartbeat. If you or anyone in the Obama misadministration want the full text of what Hamas has in mind for Israel ... and the rest of us ... please refer to: The Hamas Charter. Perhaps both Obama and Kerry could take it with them to read on the Cape Cod beach this August?

This silly stance by Obama and Kerry makes absolutely no sense to me. If it does to any of you, please explain yourselves.
