Middle America's Worldview

I have added a new link on my blog called Jessie's Angels referring to promoting Jessica Lundsford Act. I also wrote to both Governers of Oklahoma and Arkansas imploring them to push for this type of legislation. I guess it may be no more than a 'make me feel good' letter from my civic duty. However, if I don't call for it, who will?

In addition, I also was informed of S1086 still not going through the Senate. So, in my feeling of being politically activated this week, I fired off letters to my Oklahoma Senators in addition to the Arkansas Senators. I will let everyone know if I get any replies.

Also I want to inform everyone on the HR2679 Hostetters Bill. Please contact your Senators and Representives about this important Bill. This would amend the "Civil Rights Attorneys Free Act of 1975., U.S.C. Section 1988". ACLU is making millions from the states on their crazy sueing practices. Hence, your tax dollars are being taken to push their agenda. With Hostetters Bill, ACLU would still be able to sue and attempt to push their agenda, but without the states being forced to pay for their work. Please, please look into this and contact your Representives to make them aware of and support it.

Muslim Groups Slam Radiation Program

Major U.S. Muslim groups are furious about reports that homeland
security monitors have been checking the air for unusually high radiation
readings outside mosques and other sites in at least five U.S. cities.
The purpose of the monitoring is to detect the possible presence of a
"drty"nuclear bomb, which Al-Qaeda and other groups are known to want to
smuggle into the United States. Two groups have actually filed Freedom of
Information Requests demanding to know which sites were monitored.
Ahmed Younis, national director of the Muslim Public Affairs
Council said, "The problem is...it further gives the Muslim community a sense
they are suspect, they are under the gun." Mr. Younis doesn't get it.
If anyone is "under the gun" it is the United States. We know that 24 hours
a day co-religionists of Mr. Younis are working feverishly to bring to us
another day of sorrows, death and destruction like the one that we
experienced on 9/11.
Arsalan Iftikhar, legal director of the Council on
American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), said that his group wanted to protect "our
nation's borders" but "we are not willing to give up our guaranteed
constitutional and legal rights in order to do that."

It sounds like Mr. Iftikhar learned his lessons well at whatever
left-wing law school he attended. No one from the U.S. government has
entered a mosque without a warrant, and no one is hauling Mr. Iftikhar off
to a detention camp. There is no right in the Constitution that
prohibits appropriate authorities from measuring for dangerous levels of
radioactivity in the middle of a war with an enemy that has
repeatedly stated its goal is to detonate such a weapon on U.S. soil.

Let's briefly review the facts again. After 9/11 there were
strong reasons to believe that Al-Qaeda wanted to hit us again just as we were
trying to recover from their first blow. In May of 2002, Jose Padilla was
arrested on suspicion of planning an attack using a nuclear device.
Documents discovered in Afghanistan indicated our enemy planned to use a
U.S. mosque to store such a device. In other words, the government was being
prudent in taking the step that it did.

Wouldn't it be wonderful, when one of these controversies broke
in the news, to hear one of the spokesmen for the U.S. Muslim groups
say something like this: "We are not happy that our community has come under
additional scrutiny, but we understand the necessity to permit it. Vicious
fascists, operating in the name of our faith, have declared war on the
U.S. As loyal Americans first, we are prepared to make sacrifices to ensure
our adopted nation is safe. On the morning of 9/11, the enemy killed
Christian, Jewish and Muslim civilians who simply went to work at the World Trade
Center. Like all Americans, we don't want to see another day of such
horror in our homeland. We will fully cooperate with the FBI to make sure
that no Muslim site is exploited by Al-Qaeda to attack our fellow Americans."

Now, that statement would be a Christmas miracle!

Let's get a fact straight. They are not imposing on the civil rights. They are checking
on public ground. I have said it before, and I will say it again. Not all Muslims
are Terrorists, but all Terrorists are found to be Muslims. Get a freaking
clue people. Same thing with this wiretapping the Demo's are trying to get a
rise out of people. I like what I heard on the radio to the other day on this topic.
"Do people really expect the Government to search out those possible terrorist outside of
the United States but ignore those within the United States communicating with them?"
I probably didn't get the exact wording but the meaning is still there. I would think
we would be more harsh on those possible sleeper cells within the United States. We are
in a war (regardless if it's not officially called that) and unfortunately there are
those among us who would do us harm.
