BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

Before resting its recent case against Mohammed Momin Khawaja under Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, the prosecution presented Momin’s former fiancée, Zeba Khan, as the final witness via a video link from Dubai. Ms. Khan reportedly stated in her testimony: “You will not meet a young Muslim man in the world who is not angry about something. Anyone who watches the news, if he wasn’t mad then, a) there’s something wrong with him, or b) he’s ignorant.” Obviously, not all angry young Muslim men are engaging in violence — nor, of course, are all Muslims terrorists. But many terrorists are found to be Muslims. Ms. Khan’s remark purports to explain the linkage. It is perhaps no coincidence that Mr. Khawaja has Pakistani roots. In recent years, Pakistan has become a haven for al-Qaeda terrorists. For longer than that, jihadis have recruited Pakistani boys and men to fight in Kashmir and Afghanistan. These brainwashed men may be volunteers headed out to fight infidel “invaders” and “occupiers” of Mu...

Yours truly is a voracious reader. So are my children. Even my child with ADD who is struggling with many subjects -- reads WAAAAY above grade level. I prefer reading to television. I love reading the blogosphere, books, and so on. My local library says they need to open a new wing just with the read-books my kids and I have donated. Right now I have a historical fiction, a book on treating pathology its psychological impact, the New York Post and a bunch of color swatches for my dining room wall on my bedside table. (come on... I'm a woman, what did you expect! LOL) When I was dating I was always attracted to intelligent people who read. Always. My ex husband had an extensive library on a variety of subjects and was, at the time, willing to converse and have civil debate on many areas. All of my friends are still very smart, intelligent people who don't yes me. They are well read and up on current events. Unfortunately, I don't like stupid; almost as much as I do...

From Hillary or Bust: With the latest Sarah Palin hatefest happening among female comics (Sandra Bernhard wants Palin to be raped by a gang of black men; a confused Margaret Cho hates her but wants to have sex with her) , I have had it. Listen to me, crazy liberal Palin-hatin’ women, and listen to me good: Keep it up. Because if this sort of misogyny, from women, by women, against Sarah Palin continues, I will not only vote for Palin this November, I will vote for her in 2012 if Hillary is not the Democratic nominee. I will then vote for Palin AGAIN as long as she is on the Republican ticket and there is no female Democrat to vote for. I have had it. I am absolutely shocked, disgusted, appalled, and sickened by the far left right now. As a former member of not only NOW but the very radical Women’s Action Coalition (WAC) in the 1990s, I am amazed at how far the feminist movement has fallen. If this misogyny is what you really stand for, I will fight against it with my vote. And not only...

from Larry Johnson and my heros at No Quarter: Don’t think the Republicans are loaded for bear to go after Barack? Well, what do you do when an addled old man outs your past ties to radical muslims? So Khalid al-Mansour was your sugar daddy? This bombshell comes courtesy of Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, who describes his first encounter with the young Obama. “I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter. “The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.” Here’s the video: If You're on an Aggregator - Click here for the Video No big deal? Well, consider this. Khalid Al Mansour is bad, bad news for Barack. Guess what? Jeremiah Wright ain’t the only batshit crazy minister in Barack’s past. Check this out–you Jews are a bunch of land grabbing thieves: If you're on an Agg...

By their fruits ye shall know them. By Stanley Kurtz What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama. This is a story we’ve largely missed. While Obama’s Acorn connection has not gone entirely unreported, its depth, extent, and significance have been poorly understood. Typically, media background pieces note that, on behalf of Acorn, Obama and a team of Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal “m...

I am just SICKENED about what's going on in politics and the upcoming presidential election. I can NOT vote for Barack Obama. Everyone jumps on Hillary's every gaffe but Obama is given a pass on every single LIE he's told. McCain? He's got ZERO credibility with me... as you can see in earlier posts on this blog. Anyone who knows me and has known me for a while knows that there's one thing I can not abide - one thing I hate - LIARS. And those who lie to my face and don't expect me to check the facts? Don't even think about it. And here's the FIRST BIG LIE he told - in HIS OWN WORDS - back in 2004 Barack Obama is a Liar If you're on an aggregator - click here for this MUST SEE Video Barack Obama: Liar, Hypocrite, Narcissist Selma got Obama born - LIAR , Obama was born in 1961 - Selma had no effect on Obama's birth, as Selma was in 1965. Obama's Father was a Goat Herder - LIAR , he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to wo...

The Radical Christian Right Is Built on Suburban Despair by Chris Hedges (this article illustrates something I learned the hard way: PREDATORS HUNT THE WOUNDED . Whether it be emotional or sexual predators who swoop in on the lonely and depressed or the Radical Christian Right who swoop in one the disenfranchised. With Super Tuesday under our belts and a Presidential election coming, its vital we keep these things in mind. This habit of the Religious Right is, in my little opinion, nothing short of Social, Emotional and Spiritual Vampirism) The engine that drives the radical Christian Right in the United States, the most dangerous mass movement in American history, is not religiosity, but despair. It is a movement built on the growing personal and economic despair of tens of millions of Americans, who watched helplessly as their communities were plunged into poverty by the flight of manufacturing jobs, their families and neighborhoods torn apart by neglect and indifference, and who...
