Mohammed go home

SEPTEMBER 16, 2010

It appears the Tea Party is going to throw a wrench into the GOPs efforts to regain control over the Senate. With the O’Donnell victory in Delaware, the Democrats are pretty much assured of retaining that seat, the one once held by Vice-President Joe Biden. That one seat could be enough to keep the Democrats in control.

It likely will not make much of a difference anyway. The two branches of Congress cannot get anything meaningful accomplished even with a Democrat in the White House and the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress. Wait until the Democrats have slim control over the Senate and the Republicans have control over the House of Representatives. Nothing will get done. This, of course has an upside. If the Congress does nothing, at least they are not spending money we do not have.

I think if control of Congress is split, with one party having control over one branch, the Tea Party members elected are a waste of space and your vote. What can they possibly accomplish other than build themselves a nice pension. The split in control will also make President Obama a lame-duck president. He will be one-and-done. Praise be to Allah.

Be still my heart, but Major League Baseball moved the beginning of the 2011 season up two or three days, depending on the individual team’s schedule. This is designed to make sure the Fall Classic is not played in the snow and ice. Now that is good weather forecasting. They must have consulted THE FARMER’S MARKET.

Edwin Newman died yesterday at the age of 91. He was living in England at the time of his death. Newman was a newsman for NBC for over thirty years as part of his broadcast career. He wrote two best sellers about the proper use of the English language, “Strictly Speaking” and “A Civil Tongue” Both books are staples for any writer’s library. He led a good life and left the world a better place for having lived.

The French Senate voted 246 to 1 to ban two Islamic full-face covering veils. The burqa, a one-piece garment that has a fabric grid covering the eyes and the niqab, a veil concealing the face that leaves the eyes uncovered will be illegal early next year if the ban goes into effect. It must first be reviewed by the French Constitutional Council. A leading Egyptian cleric supports the ban. He takes the position that nothing in Islamic law or the Quran calls for a full-face veil. Could there be a voice of reason in the Islamic world-wide leadership? France should be able to make French laws without interference from any other nation or religion. If you do not like the French law, leave France. I suspect that is one reason behind the law.

I saw a movie a fews day ago, “The Green Zone” with Matt Damon. It is a few months old. The movie is a fast-paced Iraq War action thriller. The story is well-known to most of us but Hollywood gives it a decent spin. I recommend this movie. It does contain adult language and war violence but it is worth your time. I doubt it is on President Bush’s list of favorite movies.
The Seattle Weekly, a Seattle based newspaper has reported cartoonist Molly Norris has gone underground. The FBI urged the satirist to change her name and abandon her life. She did just that. Norris drew a cartoon called “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day”. The cartoon was in support of “South Park”. The Comedy Central animated show that was protested over its portrayal of the Islamic prophet. Norris‘s cartoon announced May 20th as “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” on her website. She received numerous death threats and was protested across the globe. The spread of the cartoon on Facebook resulted in the government of Pakistan announcing it was suspending the use of Facebook in that country.

When Molly Norris was put on a hit list by the criminal cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaida linked Muslim leader associated with the Fort Hood shooting and the attempt to blow-up Times Square, the FBI suggested Norris go undercover for protection. What do we have an FBI for if they cannot protect an American, in America, from harm from a   known source?

It is time we quit living in fear from the Muslims who get upset over our Constitutional right to free speech. The ‘90s are over. Political correctness is depriving the citizens of this country of our rights.  Offending people is not illegal; bombing and killing people is illegal. Why can’t we point that out in this country without being threatened by outsiders, the doves in our country and Muslim criminals?

  1. I agree with everthing in todays post. Very well said. Although I believe that Major League Baseball probably consulted the Farmers ALMANAC rather than a bunch of old people and smelly hippies selling cucumbers and tomatoes in an empty parking lot. Have a great day all...
