Maybe this video will explain it.

Imam Faces Execution in Israel

An Imam faces execution in Israel for refusing to recant his faith in Islam. How is that possible you ask? I haven't heard a thing about that on the news. If it was true, every news outlet in existence would be condemning Israel. The United Nations would be convening a special session to call for sanctions. Every Muslim nation in the Middle East would be threatening war. Again, how is it possible that this isn't plastered all over every news station, website, and smart phone on the planet?

You are correct. It isn't an Imam who faces execution in Israel, it is an Iranian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, who faces execution in Iran for his refusal to recant his Christian faith. And what do we hear? Crickets.... As of five minutes ago, only Fox News and MSNBC had any reference to this story on the front page of their websites. The New York Times, LA Times, ABC News, CBS News, and CNN had no reference to this story that I could find on the homepage of their websites. Fox News had the story prominently at the top of their homepage (second story listed) and MSNBC has it as the 10th story on their homepage. It is a story about President Obama and the US State Department comdemning Iran. Of wait, I'm wrong again. It is a story about House Speaker John Boehner condemning Iran. From our Dear Leader and his State Department cronies, again... crickets.

A Google search on the words "Obama Iranian Pastor" results in zero articles concerning Obama calling for clemency and five articles concerning leaders urging Obama to take a stand. Devoted readers, how many of you think our president will take a courageous stand on this travesty? This time, crickets are deserved.

The thoughts and prayers of Sahib and the Crew are with Youcef Nadarkhani and his family. Unfortunately, the power and influence of the executive branch and mainstream media of the most powerful country on the earth are not.

Another example of the moral bankruptcy of the left in their dealings with the "religion of peace".

Raising a Nation of Mush-brained Wusses

Now don’t get me wrong… When my first son was born, my wife and I went a little overboard with the whole baby safety thing. We watered down the Jack Daniels in his bottle, only loaded the Smith and Wesson 357 in his crib with blanks, and made sure that he only smoked low-tar cigarettes. But as a nation, we are really taking things too far in protecting our little mush-brained darlings from themselves.

Case in point is the recently expanded recall of the Little Tykes Toy Workshop, Trucks, and Tool sets. The 2009 recall has been expanded from 1.6 million units to over 3.3 million units. When I first saw the headline I wondered, what could possibly be the problem? Were they radioactive? Did they spontaneously burst into flames? Did they shoot razor sharp spinning disks of death? No. Apparently, the 3 ¼ inch by 1 ¼ inch plastic nails present a choking hazard. Hmmmmmm….. Well, I guess if thousands of little bubble-wrapped mush-brains are dying from jamming them down their gullets maybe something should be done. I read further…. There have been two reporting incidents where both children were treated and made full recoveries. Two. Out of 3.3 million. That is a whopping .00000006 percent! WOW! As a parent, I feel my boys are so much safer.


Everyone raise their hand… Who out there didn’t learn the hard way that sticking a screwdriver in an outlet has some unpleasant side-effects? Didn’t do it again did you? (If you did, I can only assume that you voted for Bill Clinton twice but I digress.) Firecrackers in Coke bottles, homemade flamethrowers from cans of Raid, sledding while holding on to car bumpers, and bike ramps built at a 45 degree angle, from particle board, at the bottom of a steep hill. These were all invaluable teaching moments growing up. It taught us that bad decisions have consequences. Did we blame the particle board for splitting and launching us 15 feet straight up in the air? Did our parents sue the particle board manufacturer for making a defective product and not properly labeling the particle board with warnings about not using particle board for 45 degree bike ramps located at the bottom of steep hills? NO! Our moms shoved the protruding bones back into our arms and proceeded to beat us with the remaining particle board fragments all the way home.

No one wants to see their children harmed. But as parents, and by extension a nation, we do our children more harm than good by not allowing them to experience the consequences of their stupid decisions. We prefer to hermetically seal them in bubble wrap and 42 point harness them into safety seats until they are 40.

When, instead of overprotecting our children, blaming others for their mistakes, and rationalizing their poor behavior, are we as parents going to start teaching them personal responsibility? Maybe right after we start taking responsibility for our own actions. I’ll start holding my breath.

Racist Bake Sale for Racist College Admission

As reported on a Fox News Story, The People's Republic of California is at it again. The UC Berkeley Republican student group is hosting an "Increase Diversity Bake Sale" to protest the proposed law, California Senate Bill 185. This piece of lefty legislative wackiness would "allow universities to consider race, gender and ethnicity in the admissions process."

Of course, only in the bizarro world of leftist logic does this proposed bill not conflict with current California law Prop 209 that reads, "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting."

According to the Fox News story, "The bake sale, which will be held just yards away from a phone bank event urging people to call Brown's office in support of the S.B. 185, will charge all white men $2 for cookies and other baked goods, while Asian men will be charged $1.50, Latino men will pay $1, black men 75 cents and Native Americans 25 cents. All women will receive 25 cents off those prices."

Apparently there are at least a couple of Californians capable of reason and logic. Shawn Lewis, the president of the Berkeley College Republicans, had this to say about the bake sale on their group's website, "After the UC Berkeley student government endorsed the bill, we decided a response was needed. Thus this bake sale was formulated ... If preferences based on skin color are ok [sic] for college admissions, they should be ok [sic] for other aspects of life. We agree that the event is inherently racist, but that is the point."

My enthusiasm for the quality of UC students' reasoning processes was short-lived however when I read this doozy from Claudia Magana, the University of California Student Association President, "Having knowledge of an applicant's racial or ethnic background will allow university officials to make a "more informed" admission decision."

If by state law, they are not allowed to "grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin", I have only one question...

What reason do they have to consider race?

Obama’s Chilling Words: “We’re not finished yet.”

• Trillions of dollars added to the national debt
• National credit rating downgraded
• Unemployment the worst in decades
• Impending double-dip recession
• Healthcare “Reform” monstrosity

"I need you to decide right here and right now, talk to your friends and neighbors and co-workers and tell them, ‘You know what? We're not finished yet.'" - President Obama speaking at a Democratic fund-raiser in Seattle.

My greatest hopes and prayers are that he is wrong….

Free Speech for Teacher but not Student

Apparently, the first amendment right to free speech in public schools (at least in Fort Worth) is only accorded to teachers with an agenda, but not to students expressing their beliefs to a friend. As reported in a Fox News Article, Dakota Ary, an honor student and football player, was suspended from school for turning to a friend and saying “I’m a Christian and, to me, being homosexual is wrong.”

This blog is not about the relative merits of his argument, but the incredible assault by the left on our children in public schools. Young Dakota Ary did not just blurt this statement out in the middle of a lesson on the conjugation of German verbs. He made the statement when class discussion turned to a conversation about religion and homosexuality in Germany. According to Ary, “I guess [the teacher] heard me. He started yelling. He told me he was going to write me an infraction and send me to the office.” Now apparently it is fine for a teacher to attempt to influence his class with his political agenda, but how dare a student make a statement of his beliefs!

And this is not the first time this molder of young minds has fostered this kind of discussion… Matt Krause, an attorney with the Liberty Counsel, was quoted: “There has been a history with this teacher in the class regarding homosexual topics. The teacher had posted a picture of two men kissing on a wall that offended some of the students. He told the students this is happening all over the world and you need to accept the fact that homosexuality is just part of our culture now.”

What is a ninth grade German teacher doing fostering a sexual agenda in class regardless of its nature? And believe me; if the news accounts are accurate, he has an agenda. Sherlock Holmes is not needed to decipher that mystery. So the teacher initiates an inappropriate discussion and punishes a student for disagreeing with his world view? It sadly emphasizes how politically corrupted our public school systems have become that I am not in the least surprised.

I suspect that if young Dakota had stated that his religion says that all taxes are good and that opposing them is a sin, he would have been just fine. The gospel of the first amendment according to the left: Free speech is fine as long as you agree with us.
