Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally, from Sharpton's Counter Rally to Crowd Size

Al Sharpton counters Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally



“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On Saturday, August 28, 2010, Fox News personality Glenn Beck hosted the Restoring Honor Rally at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The rally was billed as a non-political and non-partisan event with any and all proceeds going to The Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF).

Al Sharpton held a counter rally and march dubbed Reclaim the Dream and claimed on his Nation Action Network (NAN) website that Glenn Beck and the Tea Party were attempting to “hijack MLK’s dream;” more on that here. Some of the controversy was about the crowd size.

Raheel Raza Interview with Bill O'Reilly Opposing Ground Zero Mosque

(h/t Right Scoop)

At about 2min. 10sec. in video, Raheel Raza had this to say,

"Mayor Bloomberg and bleeding heart white liberals like him don't understand the battle we moderate Muslims are faced with in terms of confronting radical Islam and Islamization, and political Islam in North America, which has only grown since 9-11 because of political correctness, and people, because of their politically vested agendas, not speaking out against issues like this."

Raheel Raza, author and board member of the Muslim Canadian Congress, opposes the Ground Zero mosque interviews with Bill O'Reilly:

Mosque at Ground Zero: Update

As found on examiner.com

Mosque at Ground Zero: Update


Image: You Tube

Check out the Center for Security Policy’s video, No Mosque at Ground Zero:

As the ad makes clear, Shariah's followers have long built mosques on the most sacred sites of those they have conquered, brief examples:

  • Jerusalem's Temple Mount, at Constantinople
  • Istanbul's St. Sophia Basilica
  • Cordoba, Spain, the capital of the occupying Moors' Muslim kingdom

The name of the project to erect a mega mosque in the shadows of ground Zero is the Cordoba Initiative. What’s in a name? Sometimes tyranny.

Click here for a deeper look into the Cordoba Initiative and its president, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

If one listens carefully, the nefarious designs of the nation’s enemies and/or their supporters will be heard; sometimes a simple title is the first clue to tyrannical endeavors. Sadly, far too often political correctness and political cowardice causes otherwise powerful leaders to bury their heads in the sand.

“If the West continues to bury its head in the sand, regarding Islam, we may soon find the same removed from its host"- American Angle

Never forget what political correctness allowed in Fort Hood, Texas.

Update on getting the mega mosque site landmarked:

It is estimates that the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) will have a decision on the landmark status of the site before the end of summer. Click here for LPC contact information.

On July 20, The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) submitted additional written testimony to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) urging city officials to landmark the site where the landing gear of one of the hijacked planes from 9-11 crashed through the roof of the building.

The ACLJ is an organization dedicated to the defense of constitutional liberties secured by law.

“The ACLJ represents Tim Brown, a decorated firefighter and first responder, who survived the Twin Towers’ collapse and lost nearly 100 friends. We also represent thousands of you who have signed on to our Committee to Stop the Ground Zero Mosque - Americans who oppose building an Islamic mosque on this site which should be used to honor and preserve the memory of 9-11 and its victims.”

Please visit the ACLJ site for more information and ways to help stop the insult the mosque at Ground Zero represents.

Never Forget!

Staten Island priest withdraws support for convent sale to MAS

convent/SI Advance photo
Fr. Keith Fennesy, pastor of St. Margaret Mary Church of Midland Beach, Staten Island recently withdrew support for the sale of the church’s empty convent to the radical Muslim group, MAS.

SI ADVANCE UPDATE>>> MAS responds to the pastor's withdrawal of support:

photo of Mahdi Bray, executive director of MAS

The MAS response is dated today and bears a Washington dateline.

The text reads as follows:

"In reference to Rev. Keith Fennessy's letter withdrawing his support for the mosque purchase sale in Staten Island, N.Y., we feel strongly that much of what is taking place now is being driven by fear and hysteria, with some of it being stirred up by professional groups that have a history of being prejudiced against Muslims.

We are American citizens and we love our country. We do not operate as an extension of any non-American religious or political organization. What have we done wrong to cause anyone to deny us the right to build a house of worship?

Nevertheless, we believe in the good will of the Catholic community leaders, and that ultimately they will do the right thing and allow this sale to be completed. We know that the Catholic community in the past has endured some of the same prejudice and fear mongering that we, as Muslims, are now facing.

What should we tell our children? That as Muslims we are second class citizens without religious and civil rights? Or that the 1st and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution become void merely because you are an American Muslim?

We firmly believe that the majority of Catholics in this great nation of ours does not share the view that people should be denied their religious and constitutional rights to build a house of worship simply because their faith tradition is different from the tradition of many of their neighbors.

The call to resist prejudice and bigotry is both a moral and a spiritual imperative shared by all faiths within the Abrahamic tradition. Sometimes it is difficult to face the hysteria of prejudice, yet this is exactly what all people of faith are called to do. And, despite this letter, we remain optimistic that our intention to build a place of worship in this community in Staten Island will be successful.

We believe this, because we believe that the goodness and decency of the American people will ultimately triumph over religious prejudice and fear."

[end of MAS response]

Hopefully, the decent American people will not accept a group that embraces hate & terror, the rejection of MAS is not about religion but a rejection of hate.

If Muslims wish to hide behind religion for protection, while they join groups such as MAS to usurp our constitution shame on them; hopefully the decent American people will not be useful idiots for such nefarious ideology and organizations.

Keith Fennessy, pastor of St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church in Midland Beach, Staten Island, sold the empty former convent to the Muslim American Society (MAS) under controversial circumstances and recently quit his post as parish priest.

In last week’s church bulletin the pastor wrote, “For the good of the parish, I have asked that a new pastor be appointed as of July 1st.” Keith Fennessy also mentioned that his 98-year-old mother’s health has been declining and he wants to spend more time with her.

The Staten Island Advance and the Archdiocese refuse to report about the information linking MAS and its executive director Mahdi Bray to radical and nefarious associations. The Archdiocese of New York is on record defending the sale of the property to MAS.

Political Correctness Aided and Abetted the Fort Hood Terror Attack

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."- Abraham Lincoln

On 11/05/09, America suffered another attack by a Muslim terrorist. This latest jihad was perpetrated by an American army major stationed inside of Fort Hood, Texas. Within hours of the shooting, the identity of Major Nidal Malik Hasan was revealed along with his Islamic extremism and anti-American views.

The National Media downplayed the significance of the attack, the commander in chief gave shout-outs to a medicine man and the nation was lulled back to sleep. As the nation dozed and grazed, spin masters and professors of political correctness morphed Maj. Hasan from perpetrator to victim.

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."- Bertrand de Jouvenal

Col. Terry Lee worked with Major Hasan and provided a further glimpse into the mind of the terrorist. Visit here for video of Col Lee's interview and text of some very telling quotes attributed to Hasan.

Some pundits and analysts have suggested that Major Hasan may have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of two active wars. In order to buy into that notion one will have to believe that PTSD is contagious and/or can be contracted via osmosis. Remember, Maj. Hasan never went to war and is a trained psychiatrist.

A Harvard professor even equated radical Islam to Christian conservatives. The hypocrisy of the president is noted when he preached caution from a rush to judgment. Obama's message is a sound one, but the duplicitous nature of the president belies his intent (or does it?)

One will be hard pressed not to recall the president’s rush to judgment when he called the police stupid and falsely alleged racial profiling when a white cop arrested a black man for disorderly conduct. Visit here for a review of the Sgt Crowley and Prof. Gates dust-up.

Major Hasan attempted to contact Al-Qaeda and was the subject of an investigation, but apparently, it was above everyone’s pay grade to confront this evil and remove him from the ranks. PC kills.

Despite an understanding of the dangers political correctness may facilitate, it can still be disheartening to witness fellow Americans perpetuate the PC myth.

Different schools of thought ponder if we (the American people, the victims) are to blame via 'racial profiling' or 'insensitivity', or if the government is running a false flag op and the CIA is really behind the terror attack(s), or that the terrorist is simply a misunderstood victim of war(s) and of course the ol' stand-by; it's Bush's fault.

What is clear in the above schools of thought is the shooter is not to blame. Sometimes folks, there is indeed a bad guy that needs to be dealt with. Another thing that is clear is that the actual victims are negated and heroes are not recognized. No victims = No crime, No Heroes = No emergency.

Meet one such hero; Police Sergeant Kimberly Munley. Kimberly Munley is a mother of two and a civilian police officer assigned to Fort Hood.

Sgt. Munley responded to the soldiers’ call for help and stopped the terror attack by Nidal Malik Hasan. Prior to Sgt Munley’s arrival Hasan’s carnage resulted in 13 deaths and 31 wounded. A list of the casualties can be read here.

In a testament to the American spirit, on 11/05/09 at Fort Hood Texas, our Defenders of Freedom put it all on the line once again and rose to the occasion. During the threat and after, our heroes rushed in to save the lives of the wounded, including that of the terrorist.

Nidal Malik Hasan woke up in a hospital room after receiving the best of healthcare and immediately lawyered-up. Welcome to America.

A timeline of the terrorist’s activities up to and including the moment he stands on a desk and shouts "Allahu Akhbar" before opening fire can be viewed here.

If we continue to bury our heads in the sand, regarding the religion of peace, we may soon find the same removed from its host.

“My people will perish because of a lack of knowledge”- The Bible.

ACLU Targets War Memorial


Mojave Desert Cross, Don't Tear Me Down!

By Tony Vega

"Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure"~ [attributed to] Abraham Lincoln

In 1934, the VFW erected a wooden cross in the Mojave Desert as a memorial to their fallen brethren. The wooden cross was later converted to white painted metal and stands 8-feet tall. The current version was constructed and maintained by Henry Sandoz. Mr. Sandoz takes care of the area in memory of his late friend, J. Riley Bembry, who helped construct the original cross.



In 1994, the VFW donated the land to the government for the Mojave Land Preserve. The preserve encompasses 1.6 million acres of the Mojave Desert in California and falls under the auspices of the National Park Service (NPS)

In 1999, the ACLU demanded the Mojave Cross be removed because its display on federal land violated the Constitution's establishment clause. The memorial received widespread support and rankled only a former NPS employee, Frank Buono.

In 2000, the NPS exchanged several letters with the ACLU in an attempt to save the memorial. The ACLU responded by threatening to go after individual park employees if the memorial was not torn down. The NPS relented and was bullied into compliance.

In December 2000, Rep. Jerry Lewis got involved and had an appropriations bill disallow the NPS from using government funds to dismantle the cross, which gave the memorial a well deserved reprieve.

In March 2001, the ACLU made good on its threats and filed their lawsuit. In December 2001, Lewis rallied again and successfully had the Mojave Cross declared a national memorial in honor of World War 1 veterans.

In 2002, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Timlin ruled in favor of the ACLU and ordered the cross removed, but he failed to set a deadline. The Justice Department slowly navigated the murky waters of the courts decision and the Congressional ruling that designated the Mojave Cross a World War 1 national memorial.

During the legal maneuvering, the Justice Department had the cross covered by a plastic tarp. Patriots and Defenders of Freedom did not stand for that and removed the covering.

Henry and Wanda Sandoz landowners in the confines of the Preserve and caretakers of the Memorial Cross donated five acres of their own property to the NPS. This donation enabled the one-acre encompassing the Mojave Cross to be returned back to the VFW.

The ACLU did not relent and argued that the land transfer was unconstitutional, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed. The Bush administration appealed that decision and asserted that the land transfer was "an eminently sensible and constitutionally permissible way of resolving any establishment clause problem."

In February 2009, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the Mojave Cross case (now known as Salazar vs. Bruno). The Mojave Cross, a designated World War 1 memorial is now covered by a plywood box awaiting that decision.

The transfer of the federal land back to private ownership and in the hands of our defenders of Freedom not only enriches the government but also satisfies any "establishment clause" issues.

The devil is in the details, the ACLU does not care about civil liberties. They simply wish to target and attack sacred and traditional American symbols to further a radical agenda. They have the money, ergo the power to wield their ugly influence.

"It is bad enough to say that the veterans' memorial is unconstitutional, but it is outrageous to say that the government cannot give the monument back to the people who spilled their blood and put it there in the first place."- Kelly Shackelford, chief counsel of Liberty Legal Institute and attorney for the veterans groups.

An ACLU victory will put other veterans memorials in the cross hairs. Folks, do not allow this [Anti] American Civil Liberties Union to tear down this war memorial.

Barack Obama Invited to Speak at the University of Notre Dame

Is School Honor a Dishonor to Catholics?


Basilica of the Sacred Heart, University of Notre Dame
Ben Franske, wiki media commons


By Tony Vega

On May 17, 2009, Barack Obama will be honored as Notre Dame's commencement speaker, Notre Dame's president Rev. John I. Jenkins invited Obama to the event. The “honor” has outraged many Catholics and should earn the ire of all Christians.

Barack Obama’s policies and ideals run counter to morality and are in line with a perverse pro-abortion stance, which transcends the usual Democratic and Republican debate on the abortion issue. In the world of moral relativism, Barack Obama is its champion.

Obama’s radical abortion stance and position as an avid foe of the Born Alive Protection Act [1] places him left of NARAL Pro-Choice America. NARAL released a statement that said, “NARAL does not oppose passage of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Floor debate served to clarify the bill’s intent and assure us that it is not targeted at Roe v. Wade or a woman’s right to choose.” [2]

The radical abortion issue alone should revolt every American, including those Pro-Choice Christians and non-Christians, but Obama’s radical ideals do not end there.

Obama failed to protect children from pornographic material in public libraries and schools, [3] Obama was the only senator to vote against measure SB 485 (1999), a measure to prevent sex offenders from earning early release [3], he failed to protect schools and houses of worship from sex shops being established close by [3], [4].

Obama voted no to prohibit taking minors across State lines in circumvention of laws requiring the involvement of parents in abortion decisions, including knowingly transporting a minor across state lines to get an abortion after committing incest with a minor. [5]

Obama enjoys a record that unravels traditional and sound values, measures that if successful will harm the most vulnerable among us; no wonder why Obama was able to, with ease and poise, joke about the Special Olympics.[6]

The University of Notre Dame’s invitation to Barack Obama caught the attention of many Catholics. The Cardinal Newman Society wrote a letter to Notre Dame's president, Rev. John I. Jenkins and established an online petition against Obama’s appearance.

“It is an outrage and a scandal that “Our Lady’s University,” one of the premier Catholic universities in the United States, would bestow such an honor on President Obama given his clear support for policies and laws that directly contradict fundamental Catholic teachings on life and marriage.”- The Cardinal Newman Society.

Follow the link to read the entire letter and to sign the petition, Petition to Fr. Jenkins.

The bishop for the Ft. Wayne/South Bend diocese said Tuesday he is boycotting the university's graduation ceremony. Bishop John D'Arcy said his decision "is not an attack on anyone, but is in defense of the truth about human life."

"This will be the 25th Notre Dame graduation during my time as bishop. After much prayer, I have decided not to attend the graduation. I wish no disrespect to our president; I pray for him and wish him well. I have always revered the Office of the Presidency, but a bishop must teach the Catholic faith in season and out of season and he teaches not only by his words - but by his actions." [7]

Is this response over the top or is there validity in a sense of outrage and scandal for a Catholic University to bestow such honor upon Barack Obama? What say you Christians, do you share a similar sentiment or does relativism permeate your religiosity? Perhaps, allowing ones political ideology to trump their Christianity is acceptable in this environment of moral relativism.
