Prepare to Defend the Bill of Rights
Army acknowledges pedophilia part of Islam
OpEd: Jack
WTF..! Over...! The Obama administration is out of it's mind!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by Jack Minor
A new Army manual that warns American soldiers in Afghanistan to avoid talking about certain topics has unwittingly acknowledged that Western taboos such as pedophilia are an inherent part of Islamic culture.
“By mentioning that pedophilia and women’s rights and saying that soldiers should not mention such things they are tacitly admitting that those things are indeed part of Islam,” said Robert Spencer, founder of Jihad Watch.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a new 75-page Army manual
suggests U.S. soldiers are to blame for the large number of deadly
attacks on them by Afghan security forces. The manual reportedly says
the soldiers may have brought the attacks on themselves because of
insensitivity towards Islamic culture. Read More:

Democrat demands Obama eligibility hearing now
by
Bob Unruh
Florida, the battleground for many elections, has an opportunity right now to resolve the issue of Barack Obama’s eligibility, according to a court filing in a case brought by a Democrat under state law that allows such challenges.
“On Nov. 6, 2012, the state of Florida held its 2012 general election. On Nov. 10, 2012, defendant Barack Hussein Obama was declared the official winner of the Florida general election. Yet defendant Obama has never established his eligibility for the presidency of the United States,” says a filing today from attorney Larry Klayman. Read More:

Egypt: Sword-Weilding Islamists Clash With Secular Opponents Of Draft Constitution…
Swords? — What year is it again? Oh wait 7th Century..a Never Ending Story in Islam :

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian Islamists have clashed with opponents of a draft constitution in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria after an ultraconservative cleric called on worshippers to approve the charter in a referendum.
Witnesses say a number of people were injured as the fighting spread from the mosque where Friday prayers were held to main roads. Witnesses say extremist supporters of the constitution brandished swords while the opposition hurled stones after the sermon by the Salafi cleric. At least two cars also were set on fire.
Religious authorities had issued orders that mosques should not be used to manipulate Saturday’s vote, but several clerics, especially in conservative southern areas, took to the pulpit to tell their congregations that voting in favor of the constitution is seeking victory for Islam.

Massive Anti-Obama Rally Planned for Inauguration Day
Inspired by concerns of unemployment, the economy, Benghazi, and matters of foreign policy; organizers are promoting a “Massive Anti-Obama Rally @ Obama’s Inauguration Day.”
Their goal? 500,000+ protesters armed with signs identifying the reason for their participation in the rally. The invitation expresses the following:
“If you are unsatisfied with
President Barack Obama’s reelection win and you further feel that he
will ultimately destabilize America completely, then let us join
together with bold Anti-Obama signs clearly stating our main
grievances…”
Organizers are encouraging those who aren’t able to participate in
the rally, on Washington D.C.’s National Mall, to form groups and hold
non-violent protests at state capital buildings or other local
government venues. View the invitation.On the flip side, those paying to attend the inaugural festivities will be treated to more ‘mental manipulation’ by the Obama camp. The Daily Caller reports:
When President Barack Obama attends
his second inauguration in January, he’ll also be taking in the mystical
powers of a spoon-bending, card-manipulating “mentalist” named Alain
Nu. The performer announced Monday evening on Facebook that he “was just
invited to perform … [at] President Obama’s Inauguration January 21st!” (Read Story)
Obama Administration’s War on Religion
When David Green started his family-owned business 40 years ago, it was an enterprise housed in a garage, financed by a $600 bank loan. The first retail store, he recalled in a recent article for USA Today, “wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word.” Forty years later, it appears that the faith and the work have been abundantly rewarded. The company, Hobby Lobby, is now one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 stores in 41 states.
But the faith of Green and his family stands to be penalized, not rewarded, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate that requires coverage of contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs, with no deductibles or co-pay, in the health insurance employers provide for their workers. Green, a devout Baptist, says his Christian faith and conscience will not permit him to comply with that mandate, issued in pursuance of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare).
“Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions,” Green wrote. “Which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one.”
Once Again, the Guns Did It and it’s the Conservatives’ Fault
Once again, the guns did it, and it’s somehow conservatives’ fault.
Friday’s murders in Newtown, Connecticut, of 20 children and six adults are a sad tragedy, yet it seemed as if the bodies were not even cold before the Left jumped in, eager to make use of this latest “opportunity” to spread their anti-gun dogma.
President Obama got the ball rolling with a tearful call for “meaningful action.” That was all that was needed for the minions to crawl out of their dungeons and go to work. New York City’s nanny Mayor Michael Bloomberg called for a national gun policy:
“President Obama rightly sent his
heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs
him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem. Calling for
‘meaningful action’ is not enough. We need immediate action. We have
heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership – not
from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today. This
is a national tragedy and it demands a national response.”
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino also weighed in, echoing Bloomberg:
“As a Mayor who has witnessed too
many lives forever altered by gun violence, it is my responsibility to
fight for action. Today’s tragedy reminds us that now is the time for
action. Innocent children will now never attend a prom, never play in a
big game, never step foot on a college campus. Now is the time for a
national policy on guns that takes the loopholes out of the laws, the
automatic weapons out of our neighborhoods and the tragedies like today
out of our future.”

The Only Way to Stop a Gun is With a Gun
America now has its second worst mass shooting. And it, as usual, accompanied by calls for gun control. It’s no coincidence that we have had quite a few spree killings in such a short time. The lavish coverage of every shooting by the media encourages every shooter to think that he will be famous if he goes out and kills. And that is exactly what happens.
Our shooters are creatures of the media, not the NRA. A media that turns killers into celebrities and then warns that the only way to stop more shootings is by cracking down on firearms.
But no amount of media coverage ever stopped a man with a gun. It only encouraged him. It takes a gun to stop a man with a gun. That is the hard truth of human affairs. It is why we have a Second Amendment, it is why we have armies and police, and it is why people own guns.
There is no going back to a time before people owned guns. There is no going back to a time when violence did not exist. There is only the reality that killers stalk the streets and that we can either defend against them or take comfort in empty outrage.
Guns stop shootings. Not all the time and not every time, but they do. Gun control does not. Media coverage calling for gun control does not.

Judge AWOL on forced Islamic-worship attendance
by
Bob Unruh
A federal judge in Oklahoma has avoided making a determination on whether a police department order for officers to attend an Islamic event violated the constitutional religious rights of the officers.
In a 16-page opinion, Gregory Frizzell said no “reasonable jury” could have found Capt. Paul Fields “was personally ordered to attend” a Muslim mosque event.
The judge argued that Fields could have assigned someone else to attend instead of going himself.
The judge avoided the core First Amendment issues in the Tulsa dispute, stating, “The issue of whether a directive requiring his personal attendance at the event would have violated his First Amendment rights need not be decided here.”
In the case, spotlighted as an example of “creeping Shariah” in the United States, attorneys for Fields have explained that the officer was ordered to attend or have someone attend an event Muslims admitted was a religious service.

How to stop an ineligible 'president'
by
Larry Klayman
Over the last four years, modern-day “Sons of Liberty” – such as Joseph Farah, WND, its prized investigative reporters such as Jerome Corsi and courageous lawmen like Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse – have worked tirelessly to have President Barack Hussein Obama thoroughly investigated over the issue of his place of birth.
It is well-known that Obama had for years refused to release his claimed Hawaiian birth certificate and other official documents that reflect on whether he was born in U.S. territory as he claims, or in Kenya where his father of the same name hailed. If born in Kenya or somewhere else outside of American territory, Obama would be ineligible to run for and serve as president. And, even if born in America, Obama does not qualify as a “natural born citizen” under our Constitution, since he was not, as also required under our law to be president, sired by two American citizen parents. Only his mother was an American at the time of his birth.

The Federal Government is Guilty Accomplice in School Shooting in Newtown Connecticut
OpEd: Jack
First and foremost prayers go out to the victims and families of this horrible event...second the following goes out to counter the coming cries from the Obama/Holder administration for 'Gun Control' Laws!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There has been a horrendous mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. At this time, 27 people are reported dead, most of them children.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/gunmen-connecticut-elementary-school-shooting-dead/story?id=17973836#.UMt08GcSGSo
http://www.courant.com/news/breaking/hc-police-responding-to-incident-in-newtown-20121214,0,3969911.story
This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere. It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them. And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.
That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.
In such a shooting (as in every criminal attack), seconds count, and the people best positioned to stop the attack are the people on the scene – the intended victims and/or their care-takers. In this case, that would mean the teachers and staff of the school who were responsible for the well-being of those children, and also the parents, who should have the ability to save the lives of their own children as they take them to and from school.
The police cannot, and do not arrive in time to stop such shooters from killing large numbers of people. They are a slow reactive force compared to an armed citizen on the scene. This should be common sense, as it is obvious that in the immediacy of a criminal attack, it is the intended victims (or their immediate care-takers) who are there, in position to put a stop to the attack, if they are capable. And being capable means being armed, trained, willing, and able to use deadly force, right then, right there. Anything less leads to what we saw here.
But no doubt the rabid anti-gun government supremacists will use this to further their agenda to disarm the American people, totally ignoring that obvious, plain-as-day truth. Anti-gun nuts trust the government with guns, but not the people, and insist that the lowly citizen must be disarmed and helpless in the face of murderous assault, and must wait on slow responding armed government employees, who will not be there when the attack starts, and most often can only really clean up the horrendous crime scene afterwards and maybe, just maybe apprehend a shooter who has chosen not to kill himself (as they usually do).
The bottom line is that these teachers and staff at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were incapable of keeping these children safe, and incapable of defending them. And one of the biggest reasons they were so incapable and unprepared to save the lives of the children entrusted to their care is because the anti-gun nuts and their fellow travelers in government insisted on disarming every adult in the vicinity, by threatening them with prison time – EXCEPT the gunmen, who don’t care about the law and thus were not disarmed. laws against carrying weapons in schools don’t stop evil men with murderous intent. Such laws only disarm the law abiding and virtuous, who are now rendered incompetent to defend the precious children in their care.
This is disgusting. And yet another reason to home-school. Why would you want to leave your children helpless, in the hands of adults who are themselves helpless, and incapable of defending them, by government decree? For all we know, one of the teachers may have been a veteran, with the training and skill to use a firearm if one had been available. But all the teachers and staff, whatever their ability with firearms, were stripped of the choice and chance to save the lives of these kids.
There are more good guys than bad guys in the world. But the good guys need to be able to stop the bad guys, and that means they need to be armed so they can stop the bad guys on the spot, without having to wait for “official” government approved good guys to respond. Trust the teachers with arms so they can save the lives of their students.
Until the adults are allowed to actually act like adults, and defend themselves and their students, this kind of willful killing will continue to happen, and the federal government will in each case be a guilty party to the conspiracy by ensuring that the targets are disarmed.
Until this changes, you should refuse to give your children over to government schools lorded over by a Federal Government so callous and indifferent to their safety and lives.

Marine Double-Amputee Humiliated on Delta Flight
On Dec. 13, 2011, Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown was leading his squad on a foot patrol in Afghanistan’s Helmand province when he stepped on an explosive device that blew off both his legs, one above the knee, the other below his hip. He also lost part of his right index finger.
Last Sunday, almost exactly a year since those grievous injuries forced him to learn to walk on two successive pairs of prosthetic legs, Brown was “humiliated” to the point of tears on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Washington after being clumsily wheeled to the back row of the plane, according to a complaint sent to the airline by an outraged fellow passenger.
Worse yet, according to retired Army Col. Nickey Knighton’s detailed “customer care” report to Delta, efforts by several fellow vets to shift Brown from coach to a first class seat offered by another flyer, were rebuffed by the crew. Flight attendants insisted no one could move through the cabin because the doors were being closed for takeoff, she wrote.
Is Hollywood Poised to Slander George Washington?
By Jerry Newcombe
Ever since the 1970s, it seems many of our heroes are being toppled---especially by the media and entertainment industry. This happens whether or not such a toppling is deserved.
Ever since the 1970s, it seems many of our heroes are being toppled---especially by the media and entertainment industry. This happens whether or not such a toppling is deserved.
We’re
often scolded, “Don’t impose your morality on me,” with no thought
given to the immorality they might impose on the rest of us.
Now,
it looks like Hollywood is ready to impose its immorality on a man who
not only doesn’t deserve it, but is not here to defend himself. George
Washington.
They’re
working on a TV series---with complete artistic license---showing the
father of our country hopping in bed with his best friend’s wife. And
Hollywood elites wonder why millions of tradition-minded Americans have
been avoiding their work for years?
This
is not a bio-piece on some politician whose womanizing has been
well-documented. But rather, this is a series on a man whose
contemporaries praised him endlessly for his character.
If
I could write an open-letter to the producers, writers, and bosses, I’d
say, “Don’t include this. Don’t stoop to a scandal-sheet version of
George Washington---especially since the facts are not on your side.”
The true facts about our first commander-in-chief are compelling in
themselves.
The
facts reveal over and over Washington doing the impossible---leading a
rag-tag army of farmers and others, and beating the largest army in the
world at the time---defeating the full might of the British Empire---for
the sacred cause of liberty.
And
Washington himself gave the Lord the credit for the victory. As he said
in his First Inaugural Address, “Every step by which [we] have advanced
to the character of an independent nation seems to have been
distinguished by some token of providential agency….”
But
now he is to be depicted as a philanderer. The writer for the upcoming
NBC dramatic series is, David Seidler, a British gentleman who did a
wonderful job for the Oscar-winning film, The King’s Speech. Ron Chernow wrote the book, Washington: A Life, the basis of this new series.
Seidler
is quoted by writer Nellie Andreeva (deadline.com, 11/14/2012) as
saying: “There’s George Washington the national icon, gazing out from
the dollar bill with his mouthful of supposedly wooden teeth, and then
there’s the George Washington who had an adulterous affair with his best
friend’s wife.”
It’s
bad enough that Hollywood revisionists leave out (for the most part)
the importance of Washington’s faith. But now they want to make him
guilty of adultery. That said, I do applaud the overall excellent HBO
series on John Adams, where, for example, they showed Washington being
sworn in. And true to the facts, they depicted him with his hand on the
Bible, adding the common words for an oath “So help me, God” and leaning
over and kissing the sacred text.
I
co-wrote a massive book on the true George Washington. The lead author
is the president of one of our leading seminaries, Westminster, in
Philadelphia. Dr. Peter Lillback compiled research on our first
president for about twenty years. We teamed up to produce the 1200-page
book, George Washington’s Sacred Fire (2006), which documents
beyond a reasonable doubt that he was a devout 18th century Anglican.
Glenn Beck helped it become a bestseller.
In
that volume, we address some of the objections to the idea that
Washington was a true Christian. Included there are allegations of
potential scandals, including a passage on his relationship with Sally
Fairfax (pp. 521-528). After looking at the allegation, Peter and I sum
up, “We believe there is no evidence of an adulterous affair between
George Washington and Sally Fairfax. The charge is baseless. But, may we
suggest that Washington may well have wrestled with romantic feelings
for Sally in his youthful years?” (p. 524).
When
I first heard about NBC’s upcoming series, I thought, “Oh no, here they
go again, with their historical deconstruction.” Fault Washington for a
bad temper (at times), but not this.
A
few days ago, I shot off an email to Dr. Lillback: “Peter, is there the
slightest possibility that GW slept with his best friend’s wife?!? Is
there a scintilla of evidence anywhere that that might have happened?
Hollywood is poised to poison the well on our guy!”
Dr.
Lillback wrote back: “Dear Jerry: No way could it have happened,
according to the evidence. Alexander Hamilton did have an affair, and
it ended in the duel that took his life. GW and his wife and the
Fairfaxes remained friends till the latter returned to England. It is
clear that the lonely, single colonial officer had romantic feelings for
Sally, however. What’s great is that he did the right thing, even
though his heart felt otherwise….God bless, Pete.”
Perhaps
Hollywood producers don’t realize there’s a distinction between being
tempted and giving into temptation. As Martin Luther said: You can’t
stop a bird from flying overhead (temptation), but you can prevent it
from building a nest in your hair (giving in to it).
Here’s
an appeal to the producers, the writer(s), the board of directors, NBC,
etc.: The true story of George Washington is fascinating in and of
itself. Don’t ruin your series by depicting him engaged in adultery when
the evidence suggests he did not. As the saying goes, “We’re all
entitled to our own opinions. But we’re not entitled to our own facts.”
I
pray a passion for truth will win out at NBC---as opposed to a passion
for the sensational. My older brother, Rick, once asked sarcastically,
“Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?” Answer: because at
the end of the day, truth is all that matters.

Chaffetz: State Dept Hiding Benghazi Survivors
by
Kerry Picket
“This is so patently different than any other experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, people have been killed and maimed and in harm’s way in Afghanistan and Iraq and in points beyond. It’s typically been the case that they would release those names but in this case, they won’t. My challenge is to the media. You try and figure it out. They won’t let Congress know. They won’t seem to let the media know either.”
Breitbart News sent an inquiry to the State Department regarding those who survived the attack in Benghazi and is awaiting a response.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R- UT) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he has been “thwarted” by the State Department from seeing any Americans who survived the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi. Many people forget that there were Americans who survived the Benghazi attack, some of whom were badly injured and are still recovering.
“My understanding is that we still have some people in the hospital. I’d like to visit with them and wish them nothing but the best but the State Department has seen it unfit for me to know who those people are—or even how many there are,” Rep. Chaffetz said. "I don’t know who they are. I don’t know where they live. I don’t know what state they’re from. I don’t even know how many there are. It doesn’t seem right to me."“This is so patently different than any other experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, people have been killed and maimed and in harm’s way in Afghanistan and Iraq and in points beyond. It’s typically been the case that they would release those names but in this case, they won’t. My challenge is to the media. You try and figure it out. They won’t let Congress know. They won’t seem to let the media know either.”

'Insulting religion': Blasphemy sentence in Egypt sends a chill
By Kristen Chick
An Egyptian court sentenced Alber Saber to three years in jail today for insulting religion. Such blasphemy prosecution cases, on the rise since the revolution and almost uniformly criticized by civil rights activists in Egypt, may only increase if the draft constitution is approved this week.
Such cases are currently brought under laws that prohibit insulting religion. There is no such blasphemy clause in the previous constitution,
but the new charter, which will be put to a vote Dec. 15, includes a
clause that prohibits insulting "prophets" – which would strengthen
blasphemy cases, and make overturning such convictions on appeal much
harder. Lawyers have previously successfully overturned blasphemy
convictions by arguing they were unconstitutional.
IN PICTURES – Egypt grapples with an uncertain future
Mr. Saber, who comes from a
Christian family, was convicted for a video he made in which he
criticized organized religion. Civil rights advocates say his conviction
is a violation of freedom of expression and is deeply troubling.
"It's a heavy sentence, and any
independent court looking into the case would release him because there
are huge procedural mistakes … never mind that this is actually a crime
that shouldn't be on the books to begin with," says Amr Gharbeia, civil
liberties director at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
BAIL IGNORED
In a somewhat unusual step, the
judge ruled that Saber could be released on bail today until his appeal
is heard. But though his lawyers paid the bail, about $162, police
returned him to prison instead of releasing him. Lawyer Ahmed Ezzat says
he will attempt to secure Saber's release tomorrow.
Saber was arrested in September, several days after protests erupted at the US embassy in Cairo and elsewhere in the Muslim world when an American-made film mocking the prophet Mohammed was publicized.
According to his lawyer and
family, his mother called police when an angry mob gathered outside his
home in a working-class area on the outskirts of Cairo and accused him
of burning the Quran and insulting Islam. The crowd threatened to kill
him and burn down his house, they said.
When the police arrived, they
arrested Saber instead of protecting him from the mob. Police searched
his home without a warrant, and found a video in which he criticizes
organized religion. The prosecutor used this as evidence to charge him
with insulting religion under a vague clause in Egypt's penal code that
criminalizes the denigration of religion. Mr. Ezzat says the prosecutor
incited other prisoners to beat Saber after he was imprisoned by telling
his cellmates that Saber was connected to the anti-Islam film.
Mr. Gharbeia says the case should
have been thrown out because the evidence against him was obtained
without a warrant. But his lawyers also challenged the constitutionality
of the law against blasphemy, arguing that it was so vague that
citizens couldn't be expected to know when they were breaking the law.
Right advocates also say the vague wording allows it to be abused, and
it is often used against minorities and those with opinions contrary to
the majority. They further say such clauses limit freedom of expression.
Blasphemy cases have been on the rise since the uprising that ousted former president Hosni Mubarak
in February 2011. Rights advocates say the article in the draft
constitution prohibiting insulting prophets will further limit freedom
of expression and likely lead to more blasphemy cases and convictions.
Texas teaching 'Allah is the Almighty God'
by
John Griffing
In the 70 percent of Texas public schools where a private curriculum has been installed, students are learning the “fact” that “Allah is the Almighty God,” charge critics of a new online curriculum that already is facing condemnation for its secrecy and restrictions on oversight.
The program, called CSCOPE, is a private venture operating under the umbrella of the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, whose incorporation documents state its independence from the State Board of Education of the Texas Education Agency.
Other reports previously have raised alarm over the curriculum’s depiction of the Boston Tea Party as a terrorist act on par with the 9/11 attack.
According to documentation that has leaked out, the program describes the Boston Tea Party this way: “A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port. Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities. It is believed that the terrorist attack was a response to the policies enacted by the occupying country’s government. Even stronger policies are anticipated by the local citizens.”
There also have been reports that the curriculum – contrary to recent Supreme Court rulings – says the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the right to bear arms, is limited to state-run organizations.
“The collective right’s advocates believed that the Second Amendment did not apply to individuals; rather it recognized the right of a state to arm its militia. It recognized limited individual rights only when it was exercised by members of a functioning, organized militia while actively participating in the militia’s activities.”
Now come concerns about what critics describe as a definitively pro-Islam bias.
The critics say the studies border on proselytizing.
In one scenario, students are asked to study the tenets of Islam, and critics say the materials provided exceed impartial review of another faith, extending into requirements of conversion and moral imperatives.
A computer presentation utilized as part of a study of Islam includes information on how to convert, as well as verses denigrating other faiths.
According to excerpts, under the heading, “Who Is Allah?,” students are told:
But there is no mention of his documented sex activities with a child or his penchant for beheading entire indigenous people groups.
CSCOPE’s geography curriculum also is being scrutinized.
A high school question on a geography test asks, “Which of the following has been a benefit of globalization?” Possible answers are as follows: a) pandemics, b) increased standard of living, c) loss of local culture, and finally, d) widespread environmental impacts.
The only “correct” answer accepted in the context of the test is “an increased standard of living.”
WND recently reported the Texas State Board of Education was hearing concerns expressed by parents.
The debate carries national significance because of the influence Texas has on textbook and curriculum publishers as the only state that adopts uniform standards.
CSCOPE advocates say that the volume of information to which students now have access outside the classroom necessitates the move away from textbooks.
“If they’re sitting in a classroom with a textbook, that’s not the world anymore,” said Anne Poplin, Education Service Center Region 9 executive director.
“We’re moving to Bring Your Own Devices. It’s a disadvantage (for children) not to have access to their devices. It’s not a textbook-driven environment. If it is, they’re behind,” Poplin said.
An estimated 70 percent of Texas schools already are involved in the program.
But one of the concerns is that state law requires textbooks to be reviewed by the board of education, and parents are allowed to have access, since CSCOPE is considered a private venture it operates independently of state or local school board oversight.
The state attorney general’s office has ruled that CSCOPE is a government organization subject to requirements of transparency, but because of loopholes in the Texas Public Information Act and Senate Bill 6, passed in 2011, CSCOPE has thus far been able to keep its content from public review. Even parents are denied access.
Kimberly Thomas, a teacher in the Lubbock school district, calls CSCOPE a “joke,” identifying a ninth-grade lesson that asks students to circle capital letters in a sentence.
Her department was rated exemplary by the state prior to the installation of CSCOPE. As Thomas notes, CSCOPE “forces our own department to undo the proven, successful curriculum we have developed that gave us an exemplary rating.”
Just days ago, Thomas Ratliff, a member of the state board and supporter of CSCOPE, said CSCOPE was “supplemental” and that textbooks still are being used.
“CSCOPE is not designed to eliminate textbooks or other instructional materials. It is designed to complement them for the benefit of the teacher and the student,” he wrote in a prepared statement.
CSCOPE employees, on the other hand, claim the software is designed to replace textbooks and, indeed, has in many Texas school districts.
Addressing the issue of the program’s secrecy, Ratliff slammed critics who say they want government to be “run like a business” but then get upset when that happens.
But critics argue private schools, the closest thing to a school being run like a business, still make instructional materials available to parents, something that CSCOPE refuses to do.
The “parent portal” provided on the public portion of CSCOPE’s website has not allayed critics’ concerns. Some of the lessons leaked to the public have contained wide disparities from the summary pages viewable in the public section of CSCOPE’s website.
Ratliff defends this dichotomy by saying that, like iTunes or any other “business,” some things must be placed behind a “pay wall” as part of a business plan. Ratliff claims that CSCOPE is created by “teachers, for teachers.”
But teachers must sign a gag order when required to use CSCOPE in their classrooms.
Complicating the issue is the fact that school districts usually purchase CSCOPE with state tax dollars.
While Ratliff calls the curriculum “instructional material” he said state oversight wouldn’t help, and “I would much rather have 7,000 locally elected school board members decide what content is best for their students, not the 15-member SBOE. Allowing CSCOPE to be developed and implemented at the local level is the ‘local control’ Texans say we want. Injecting SBOE oversight into this would shift us into a ‘controlling the locals’ approach.”
Critics say that’s not the way the system is set up, and CSCOPE actually ends local input since it prevents, on penalty of copyright litigation, distribution of its content to parents.
A vocal critic has been Texas State Rep. Debbie Riddle, a Republican.
“I did pretty well with textbooks. Benjamin Franklin did pretty well with textbooks. Are they going to say reading books is not effective? Should we all stop reading our Bibles?
“Call me old-fashioned, but there is something about the feel, smell, holding a book; there is a lot to be said for holding a hard copy,” she said.
Separately but in a related issue, Attorney General Greg Abbott has released an opinion that is being is being quoted by critics as disqualifying Ratliff from the state board because of his connections to companies doing business with schools in Texas.

Egypt court gives Christian 3 years for blasphemy
CAIRO (AP) — A Cairo court on Wednesday convicted a Coptic Christian blogger who shared an anti-Islam film on social networking sites and sentenced him to three years in prison for blasphemy and contempt of religion.
The case of Alber Saber is one of several seen by rights advocates as a campaign led by Egypt's
ultraconservative Islamists to curb free expression. Many of those
targeted in the campaign are Christians, who make up about 10 percent of
Egypt's population of 85 million.
Saber was arrested Sept. 13,
after neighbors complained he had shared on Facebook the amateur film
made in the United States that sparked protests across the Muslim world.
His arrest came during a wave of public outrage over the film, produced
by an Egyptian-American Copt.
At the time, an angry mob
surrounded Saber's house, calling for his death and accusing him of
heresy, atheism and of promoting the "Innocence of Muslims" — the short
film that portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, womanizer and
buffoon.
Saber's verdict comes as Egypt
has been plunged into a political crisis over a draft constitution.
Islamist supporters say the charter is a step toward stability while
critics warn it will open the door to increased suppression of freedom
in the name of religion.
In announcing the verdict, the court in Cairo said Saber can be released on a bail pending his appeal.
Amnesty International condemned
the verdict and said it considered Saber "a prisoner of conscience
detained solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of
expression." The London-based group also demanded Saber be freed
immediately and that all charges against him be dropped.
"This is an outrageous verdict and sentence for a person whose only 'crime' was to post his opinions online," said Amnesty's Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui.
"The court should have thrown the
case out on the first day, yet now he's been branded as having insulted
religion," added Sahraoui, deputy chief of Amnesty's Middle East and
North Africa program.
Last month, another Egyptian court convicted in absentia seven other Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor, sentencing them to death on charges linked to the "Innocence of Muslims."
The charges were largely symbolic
because the defendants, most of who live in the United States, are all
outside Egypt and are thus unlikely to ever face the sentence. The man
behind the anti-Islam film, Mark Basseley Youssef, was among those
convicted. He was sentenced in a California court in November to one
year in federal prison for probation violations in an unrelated matter.

Obama Gunrunning To Al-Qaeda
By
If you were a sitting President and it was discovered that you were openly supporting al-Qaeda—openly supplying them with weapons—what would you do?
Since al-Qaeda is the sworn enemy of the United States, since al-Qaeda has murdered countless Americans, and therefore supporting al-Qaeda would be treason in every sense of the word, of course you would resign or brace for impeachment.
But we’re not talking about a normal President who operates within the confines of reason. We’re talking about Barack Hussein Obama, who operates in a strange Twilight Zone type of reality broadcast to the masses via his compliant mainstream media.
The Syrian “rebels” have openly identified themselves with al-Qaeda. They have openly said, “When We Finish With Assad, We Will Fight the U.S.”, so it’s no secret they are the enemy.
And Barack Obama has been arming them.
And this isn’t the first time. When Obama was basking in the light of his “democratic moment” in arming the Libyan “rebels” to topple Gadaffi, here again he was arming al-Qaeda.
The dirty little secret of course is that the weapons that Barack Obama was lavishing on the “democratic” rebels found their way into the hands of their sister group, Ansar al-Sharia. Have you heard of them? They are the group that murdered the four Americas at the Benghazi consulate and CIA annex—more than likely with weapons Barack Obama supplied.
That’s the other dirty little secret of why Obama refused to go into Benghazi to rescue Americans in need: he was afraid his fingerprints would be found on the weapons that were left behind when Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty had to fight off the attack themselves.
So with Obama admitting that he is supplying arms to the Syrian al-Qaeda “Freedom Fighters”, what does he do?
Yesterday, he officially recognized the rebels as the “true” government of Syria.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I haven’t watched enough Twilight Zone episodes, but isn’t Obama kind of guilty of that little thing called “treason?”
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” U.S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 3.

Obama’s Busy Party Schedule Can’t Accommodate “Cliff” Talks
Since returning from a trip to Southeast Asia on Nov. 21, President Obama has managed to play three rounds of golf but has met face to face only once with House Speaker John A. Boehner, the man with whom he is trying to strike a deal on taxes and spending that could prevent another recession.
With the deadline for averting the “fiscal cliff” less than three weeks away, the president’s schedule this week is exceptionally light. It does not include any time on the links with Mr. Boehner, Ohio Republican, who is also an avid golfer.
On Monday, Mr. Obama’s only public event was a trip to Detroit, where he held a campaign-style rally with union autoworkers that was ostensibly a push for middle-class tax cuts but mainly showcased Mr. Obama’s criticism of Michigan’s new right-to-work labor law.
“It seems to me, that time would have been better spent here in Washington, D.C., working on the fiscal cliff, but he was in Michigan,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee Republican.

Video: Conspiracy To Hide Obama’s Eligibility Problem
By
Watching the Obama eligibility issue play out is like walking into a carnival house of mirrors—everything increasingly becomes warped and distorted.
In 2008, a huge media circus developed over John McCain’s “eligibility problem” because he was born on a military base in the Panama Canal region. Congress went to the trouble of voting on a resolution declaring McCain eligible to run for President; but oddly, no mention was made of Barack Obama’s eligibility problem. Obama, as was apparent to the majority of Americans, was born with dual citizenship, with his father, Barack Obama, Sr., being a citizen of Kenya. Obama was therefore not a natural-born citizen as required by the Constitution.
Of course, there were the other oddities, such as Obama’s Kenyan grandmother (Sarah Obama) having a giant 2005 calendar in her home, emblazoned with the text “The Kenyan Wonder-Boy in the US—Senator Barrack [sic] Obama.” Or the Kenyan road signs with the message “Welcome to Kenya, Birthplace of Barack Obama.”
After repeated questions of Obama’s birthplace and citizenship arose, Obama released a PDF of the so-called short-form birth certificate to the left-wing blog Daily Kos that was essentially a computer printout.
Then the George Soros-funded FactCheck.org got into the game, taking photos of the birth certificate in order to “prove” it authentic. It’s a computer printout! What’s to prove?
This went on for three years with dozens of court challenges and calls for Obama’s long-form birth certificate. On April 27, 2011, Obama released the long-form birth certificate, which turned out to not only be a forgery, but a bad forgery.
The pinnacle of this Obama house of mirrors finally came on May 1, 2011 when, after the dozens of court cases challenging Obama’s eligibility, a challenge that finally wasn’t treated as a carnival sideshow was going to see the light of day. The judges were actually going to listen to the litigants and call Obama’s lawyers out for not presenting a case.
According to witnesses, there was a huge media presence, including C-SPAN (which planned on carrying the hearing live.) This was also the largest eligibility challenge yet to date that included twenty state representatives and thirty members of the military. The courtroom was overflowing with TV cameras everywhere.
But America was too busy at the time carrying Obama on their shoulders for singlehandedly (according to Obama) taking out Osama Bin Laden the day before. The mainstream media, as could be expected, buried the story because of the “coincidence” of Obama ordering Bin Laden to be taken out on the day before the most important and most publicized eligibility challenge to date.
C-SPAN in fact did videotape the hearing but ended up burying it on their website, consigning the most pressing issue of our time to the dustbin of history.
Barack Obama, with the mainstream media’s help, is involved in a cover-up so huge that if he is not successful in destroying this nation, schoolchildren will marvel at it for generations to come.

Shocked face: DHS delayed arrest of Sen. Menendez’s illegal alien sex offender intern for election
By Michelle Malkin
Longtime readers know that I’ve reported on the politicization of DHS/ICE under both Democrat and Republican administrations.
I broke the story in November 2011 of how the Bush administration issued a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare Obama embarrassment over his Kenyan half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango. Flashback:
I hope Barack Obama remembered to thank George Bush on behalf of his illegal alien aunt this week. The lame-duck Republican president did the Democratic president-elect a generous — and dangerous — favor right before Election Day: Putting politics above homeland security, the Bush administration ordered immigration authorities across the country to halt all deportation enforcement actions until after the campaign season was over.
According to my sources, the Bush administration issued a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare Obama embarrassment over his Kenyan half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango. The Associated Press had reported on Nov. 1 that Onyango was a deportation evader – one of an estimated 700,000 illegal alien absconders who have ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country. The wire report mentioned that the Department of Homeland Security distributed “an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors.”
But the politicized order was even worse than the AP reported. The deportation process wasn’t simply slowed down for public relations reasons and fear of a media backlash. The process was completely frozen.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement source familiar with Western field offices told me: “The ICE fugitive operations group throughout the U.S. was told to stand down until after the election from arresting or transporting anyone out of the U.S. This was done to avoid any mistakes of deporting or arresting anyone who could have a connection to the election, i.e., anyone from Kenya who could be a relative. The decision was election-driven.”
Another source close to ICE operations in a southern California field office confirmed that immigration officials there received the same directive: “The reason they included all offices in the US was to show that they were not targeting the district Office where Aunti lived. They don’t want to pick her up by mistake and cause a big problem.”
In other words, the Bush Department of Homeland Security determined that protecting Barack Obama from the negative publicity surrounding a potential arrest of his illegal alien aunt was more important to the general welfare of the country than tracking down untold numbers of deportation absconders who received an extra three-day pass last week.
Now, fast-forward less than a year later. Under the Obama administration, things are no better for ICE agents trying to do their jobs. According to the AP, ICE agents who discovered an illegal alien sex offender working in New Jersey Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s office were told repeatedly to delay action until after the election.
Directing DHS not to act has been the m.o. of the bipartisan open-borders crowd since the agency’s founding. Protectionism for law-breakers, punishment and ostracism for border protecters.
Meanwhile, GOP amnesty champion Lindsay Graham and other Republicans are playing footsie with Sen. Menendez on immigration. Same old, same old.

According to the AP, ICE agents who discovered an illegal alien sex offender working in New Jersey Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s office were told repeatedly to delay action until after the election.
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.
Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, an 18-year-old immigrant from Peru, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in front of his home in New Jersey on Dec. 6, two federal officials said. Sanchez, who entered the country on a now-expired visitor visa from Peru, is facing deportation and remains in custody.
…The prosecutor’s office in Hudson County, N.J., said Sanchez was found to have violated the law in 2010 and subsequently required to register as a sex offender. The exact charge was unclear because Sanchez was prosecuted as a juvenile and those court records are not publicly accessible. The prosecutor’s office confirmed to AP that Sanchez registered as a sex offender, although his name does not appear on the public registry.
Authorities in Hudson County notified ICE agents in early October that they suspected Sanchez was an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender and who may be eligible to be deported. ICE agents in New Jersey notified superiors at the Homeland Security Department because they considered it a potentially high profile arrest, and DHS instructed them not to arrest Sanchez until after the November election, one U.S. official told the AP. ICE officials complained that the delay was inappropriate, but DHS directed them several times not to act, the official said.
Directing DHS not to act has been the m.o. of the bipartisan open-borders crowd since the agency’s founding. Protectionism for law-breakers, punishment and ostracism for border protecters.
Meanwhile, GOP amnesty champion Lindsay Graham and other Republicans are playing footsie with Sen. Menendez on immigration. Same old, same old.

The Graham-Schumer-Barrasso-Menendez measure:
Patriots:
Patriots,
we really want to deliver 50,000 names or more and need your name
included in this petition delivery. Would you take one minute right now
and add your name? Click here to join us in this important message to
Congress:
In
a rare showing of bipartisan solidarity, members on both sides of the
congressional aisle, in both chambers, are uniting to call for the
defunding of the Palestinian Authority.
According to a report recently posted on the congressional website of Senator Lindsey Graham…
U.S.
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chuck Schumer (D-New York),
John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), and Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey) have
introduced legislation which takes a tough line against the
Palestinians’ recent appeal to the United Nations General Assembly for
recognition as a ‘non-member observer state.'
The Graham-Schumer-Barrasso-Menendez measure:
- Forces the immediate closure of the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) office in Washington unless the Palestinians have entered into meaningful negotiations with Israel.
- Eliminates American foreign assistance to the Palestinian Authority if the International Criminal Court adjudicates any matter proposed or supported by the Palestinian Authority.
Senator
Graham publically blasted the Palestinian’s subversion of the United
States wishes and disregard for the 1995 Oslo Agreement… 
“Granting
United Nations membership to the Palestinian authority is a nightmare
in the making for the peace process and future relations between the
Congress and UN… I fear the Palestinian authority will now be able to
use the United Nations as a political club against Israel. Most
importantly, they will file complaints in the International Criminal
Court against the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) or any other Israeli
institution engaged in defending the Jewish state.
This
provocative step by the Palestinians could lead to using the
International Criminal Court as a forum to marginalize the state of
Israel, an action that will not be accepted without consequence in the
Congress. We will not use American taxpayer dollars to support a
Palestinian entity whose primary goal, if they file a complaint in the
ICC, is to marginalize the Jewish state rather than live in peace with
the people of Israel.”
United States taxpayers have footed the bill for $2 billion in aid to the Palestinians under the Obama administration.
Senator Menendez said the recent rogue P.A. move for recognition could ignite further tensions in the Middle East…
“This
unilateral approach by the Palestinian Authority to gaining sovereignty
is provocative, reckless, and threatens to inflame passions throughout
the region.”
Representative
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), a pro-Israel U.S. congresswoman, is also
rallying members of Congress to stop all funding to the Palestinian
Authority.
We
must tell our legislators NOW that we want them to STOP President
Barack Obama from sending billions of dollars in taxpayer money to
terrorist nations and organizations with close terrorist ties – like the
Palestinian Authority!
Our Liberty Counsel Action petition to Congress demands: NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR to the Palestinian Authority!
Because
of the rising level of support in Congress, we are now planning our
petition delivery to both the House and Senate Foreign Affairs Committee
members on December 14th.
That gives us just two days to rally as many names on this petition as possible!
++The Obama administration needs a Department of Common Sense!
While
America’s economy struggles – and our representatives are haggling over
avoiding a “fiscal cliff” – our misguided government is sending
billions of dollars in aid to appease our enemies, including the
refurbishment of Mosques that teach and promote the annihilation of the
United States and Israel!
Defunding the Palestinian Authority makes fiscal sense and foreign policy sense.
Patriots,
I am pleased that many thousands of friends have already signed the
petition calling for our elected representatives to defund this
anti-Israel, pro-terrorist nation – but I need many more names to
deliver to Capitol Hill.
I
hope you will sign our powerful petition and join us in aggressively
declaring: NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR to the Palestinian Authority! Please go
here to sign:
After
signing, would you forward this message to as many of your pro-Israel
friends as possible? That additional step will be greatly appreciated
by our many contacts in Israel, including their senior leadership.
Thank you for standing with us!
Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action
P.S.
We must seize the momentum in Congress calling for the defunding of
U.S. aid to the Palestinians. Please sign Liberty Counsel Action’s
powerful petition to STOP all U.S. funding of the Palestinian
Authority:
