Religious Tolerance in the USA
How far does religious tolerance go?
My tolerance for religions and non-religious religions turns out to be selective. If a specific religion or non-religious religion shows utter intolerance of my religion or any other religion, and threatens to dominate the people of my nation by force or intrigue, then I oppose it with all my strength. If that religion expects to subjugate and rule me and my fellow citizens by its own set of laws, they will be opposed–by force if necessary.
So long as they are law-abiding and unthreatening, however, they are welcome, but they must be watched very carefully indeed lest their religious mandate for conquest surfaces to our detrement.
Our Constitution, and specifically its guarantees of personal and religious freedoms, are not at the same time a suicide pact.

List of Vital Issues for America
Here is my list: What is yours?
1. Christianity--growing its importance to our citizens.
2. Islam--recognizing that we are at both passive and active war with Fundamental Islam.
3. Conservatism--getting the message right and out to the public.
4. Liberalism--defeating their outrageous propositions to change America.
5. Education--revising our education system to give a better education.
6. Science--honest tracking of climate change; energy breakthroughs; environment.
7. Globalization--bringing more nations into higher wealth and lower poverty.
8. US Government--reforms in Congress, the SCOTUS, and Administration.
9. US Financial Stability--reform of the budget, reduction in spending.
10. UN and World Politics--deemphasize the UN in favor of democratic nations.
11. World Poverty--work to end starvation of masses of people.
12. WMD Proliferation--stop it by force; carry a big stick.
13. Natural Resources--conservation of scarce resources is a must.
14. The European Union--partner, ally, or dedicated trade enemy?
15. China--Carry a big stick.
16. Social Changes in the US--preserve our effective institutions and traditions.
17. Security--support the GWOT, upgrade the armed forces, keep Patriot Act.
18. Immigration--cap the flow, deport illegals, create a good guest worker program.
19. Corruption in Government--our legislators, judges, and the administration have gone wild, and must be reined in. It is not accidental that the immigration bill is being reinstated. (New)

The Coming War With Iran
An Opening Shot This Summer?
Solly Ganor writes that his sources predict that Hisbollah will attack Israel again this Summer, as part of the continuing Islamic push to eradicate Israel, and weaken the United States.
There seems to be some slight recognition by the Dems that all is not mythical about the Islamic threat to our security. There is no real movement, however, because it would undermine their move towards power in 2008. Some of the lessening of the vitriol by the Dems can be attributed to a belated recognition of the facts about Islamic ambitions around the world. Facts that George Bush has been aware of and working on for years, but the Dems saw fit to deny in order to castigate the President.
In a perverse way, the Dems may well have caused many of the missteps of our Iraqi effort, by forcing the Administration to go around Robin Hood's Barn to get to the house. This is no way to support American objectives in a shooting war. I am ashamed of the Dems more than anything else!

Howard Dean and His Ego
In an outrageous piece, Howard Dean has accused George Bush of losing the moral high ground in Iraq with "world leaders". He has been meeting with them, saying that when the power shifts to the dems, they will be ready to have far better relationships with these moral cowards. It figures! Why, it is far better to bury one's head in the sand and let things take their course, than to make a moral and honest attempt to fix the problem of Muslim aggression. This is yet another example of propaganda that daily bombards the nation, and it undoubtedly has a significant effect on those who thirst for a dem win, and on those who do not think for themselves.
The United States took the moral high ground some 4 years ago, and has not let it go. We are still making strides in pacifying Iraq, and trying to build a stable government with as much democracy as can be instilled in an Islamic nation in the short time since the fall of Saddam. We have expended lives and money far beyond what others have spent to rein in the Muslim fanatics, and I resent some punk from Carolina dissing this grandly conceived effort for political gain. It is the "world leaders" that have adopted a do-nothing, morally degenerate position, stemming from their military weakness, and fear of retribution from the millions of Muslims surrounding their principal cities. Eurasia is not a friend of the United States. Europe was.
We are on our own in stopping the Islamic tide.

Deport The Lot!
Should Muslims and Illegal Hispanics be Shown the Border?
Let me see, there are a reported 10 million illegal Hispanics in the nation, and 6 million Muslims, about half of which are US converts. That sums up to be a large number to export.
My idea from the outset has been that to export or deport this number is very possible, based upon what we did in WWII, when we drafted, housed, clothed, fed, and transported 10 million men or so around the world and back in four years. The difficulty, beyond the screams of the Left wing and the soft-hearted, is finding nations willing to accept them. I wouldn’t!
The reason for deporting Illegal Hispanics is simply that they are here illegally, some of them are criminals, and all should be sent home. That is not to say we shouldn’t allow guest workers back in under strict rules, tracking them, and ensuring they do not overstay.
The reason for deporting Muslims is their dedication to Fundamentalist Islam. Islam is dedicated to the overthrow, sooner or later, of all that we stand for. I see no test that would discover their real feelings about Islam, terror, and the US, so an allegiance test, as some have advocated, is senseless. This is simply because the Islamic religion teaches that Muslims can lie, cheat, steal, and kill infidels. So how do you believe anything they say?
Perhaps many of our bright citizens would balk at this solution, opting instead to bury their heads in the sand and hope the US Muslims will be good. The penalty for that will be the slaughter of whole segments of our society, both Muslim and Infidel, since no one I know would roll over and accept Sharia and dhimmitude if the Muslims tried to install it here. Good Americans would fight, and they have enough weapons to make a good show of it. Many on both sides would die.
None of this deportation thrust is racially motivated, it is motivated by the law and the huge negative impact on our society in the case of Hispanics, and the belief system of Muslim Jihadists documented from Islamic sources such as the Koran, Haddith, and Sharia Law. One needs only to watch the struggles in the UK to be forewarned about Muslims coming West.

Islam Revisited
Politically, however, this cannot be done today. I can hear the Liberals now! How very inhumane! Technically also, deportation cannot be done if there is no other nation willing to accept this six million men, women, and children, horde of potentially cut-throat evil people.
