Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a “spiritual adviser” to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001
Charles Allen, who the Telegraph says used to be an under-secretary at Homeland Security, reportedly said this imam supports al-Qaeda and targets US Muslims with “radical online lectures encouraging terrorist attacks from his new home in Yemen.”
Once again, MSM is ignoring a big story. A search at the time of this writing finds zero American media outlets covering this story, one in England, and one in Canada – despite over 3,000 posts on the web. [HT to Michelle Malkin, which is where I found it.]
Whenever the silence on a big story is this deafening – like it was last spring when Baxter pharmaceuticals accidentally on-purpose spread flu vaccine contaminated with live bird flu virus around Europe (here are some more posts about Baxter) – I am prone to speculate, “Why?”
Why … would MSM ignore a story this big, when they’ve been bombarding us with every sneeze associated with the Ft. Hood shooting?
Why … has no one from the government publicly renounced this iman and exposed his continued influence?
Why … doesn’t anyone in the media or the government acknowledge – out loud and in public – that violent jihadist rhetoric encourages the murder of anyone who won’t worship Allah?
Dear fellow Jews, what is so hard to understand about “we hate your guts, and will continue to kill and maim you”? Just last week, an “inter-faith” Rabbi, the guest speaker at an ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) conference was shocked … shocked to hear that one of the guest imams felt that Jews deserved the Holocaust because they turned their backs against Allah. What is so hard to understand about that?
Center for Faith and the Media
We are in danger of being subjugated to the ideology of Islamic world domination. The Jews are again in grave danger, and so are all Christians, along with the nations and societies that are democratic. The Ottoman Empire failed. Hitler’s “Final solution”and his Third Reich failed. The Islamic quest has no intention of failing a third time! “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people,” is not simply their slogan, but their strategy!

Let’s say your surgeon forgets to take the sponge out of your belly before he sews you back together, and you get a nasty infection. You can sue.
Or your hospital gives you the wrong medication and it results in serious problems. You can sue.
Or your insurance company denies treatment that your doctor and another doctor say you need, resulting in bad consequences. You can can’t sue.
That’s right. You can’t sue.
It seems that section 514 (a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 provides immunity to insurance companies for any decisions they make that results in injury or death. Washington pols from Ted Kennedy to Harry Reid have denounced this loophole over the years, but here’s their big chance, right? They can overturn the ERISA section 514 loophole in their health care reform bill, right? Wrong.
From a press release by US Congressman John Shadegg:
Yet, on page 49 of H.R. 3200, on page 140 of Pelosi’s current bill, H.R. 3962, and on page 56 of the Baucus bill, rather than repealing Section 514 of ERISA and giving the Corcorans and thousands of other victims like them a remedy, the Pelosi and Reid bills preserve, protect, and extend Section 514 leaving millions of potential workers and union members with no remedy if they are injured or killed by the denial of coverage by a union or employer health care plan:
Page 140 of H.R. 3962 reads: ‘Nothing in paragraphs (1) or (2) shall be construed as affecting the application of section 514 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.’
Page 56 of the Baucus bill is identical: ‘(3) Nothing in this part shall be construed to affect or modify the provisions of section 514 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 with respect to group health plans.’
This is no accident, folks. Shadegg said at a news conference Wednesday “that his amendment offered in the House Energy and Commerce Committee to strike the ERISA language from the House bill was ruled out of order by Committee Chairman Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.)”
Out of order. Does all the democratic rhetoric about protecting the people sound a little out of order?

When I was growing up, they called this lying. But that’s not politically correct anymore, so I’m putting it in Obama’s Dictionary. From CNSNews:
Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that “under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions” he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan—which has never been written.
“I don’t know if it is a game of semantics or what,” Stupak said of Obama’s nationally televised declaration to Congress that the health-care plan will not allow federal funding of abortion.
Both the House and Senate versions of the health-care bill permit federal funds to pay for insurance plans that cover abortions.
As I haven’t had time to keep Obama’s dictionary up to date (dodging through all the smoke & mirrors is a dangerous and time-consuming process) I’ve decided to finish it right here and now. I think these two last entries should cover just about anything the man might say.
Entry #8: no = yes
Entry #9: yes = no
The End

I figure if Obama can get the Nobel Peace Prize by talking about world peace – right before he has a meeting about sending more people to die in Afghanistan – I should get one, too.
I think I’ll go for the Nobel Prize for Literature. I am planning to write a book, after all. I even have notes.
So all I need to do is blog about my book plans every day between now and the February 1st deadline for next year’s awards.
Waddya think?
