Have You Seen My America?

The politically incorrect blog Theodore’s World reports on the stats of Congress’ commemoration of Mohammedanism and its Holy Month known as Ramadan.

I might point out the Democratic Party controlled Congress is commemorating Mohammedanism while simultaneously actively doing all it can to take Judeo/Christianity out of America’s public forum from schools to Court Houses. This includes Christianity’s two most holy days: Christmas and Easter. Yet Ramadan is commemorated! What is that!?

Political Correctness On Display In Washington As U.S. House Passes First-Ever Resolution Honoring Islam and Ramadan.

The resolution acknowledging the importance of Muslims in America, the first of its kind, was introduced by Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson and co-sponsored by 30 legislators, including Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Ellison is the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Congress.

Congressman Tom Tancredo, one of 42 voting “present,” in a press release after the vote cited the resolution as "an example of the degree to which political correctness has captured the political and media elite" in America. He further stated: “I am not opposed to commending any religion for their faith. The problem is that any attempt to do so for Jews or Christians is immediately condemned as ’breaching’ the non-existent line between Church and State by the same elite.”

Congressman Scott Garrett commented that in his five years in Congress he could not remember a resolution honoring Christmas or Easter. As of this morning, a search by the ACT for America staff had not uncovered any resolution in the past 20 years honoring a Jewish holiday.

Other Members of Congress expressed being “troubled” by the resolution. Yet it passed without a single “no” vote. Why? And why the special treatment of an Islamic holiday?

Because politically correct treatment of Islam is growing, and the pressures in Washington to knuckle under to this political correctness have become extremely intense.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said, “I voted ‘present’ because I read somewhere that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.”

Joining Tancredo in his “present” vote were:
Republican Reps. Robert Aderholt (Ala.), Todd Akin (Mo.), Gresham Barrett (S.C.), Jo Bonner (Ala.), Mary Bono (Calif.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Ginny Brown-Waite (Fla.), Michael Burgess (Texas), Steve Buyer (Ind.), John Carter (Texas), Mike Conaway (Texas), Nathan Deal (Ga.), Terry Everett (Ala.), Mary Fallin (Okla.), Randy Forbes (Va.), Trent Franks (Ariz.), Scott Garrett (N.J.), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Virgil Goode (Va.), Kay Granger (Texas), Robin Hayes (N.C.), Sam Johnson (Texas), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Steve King (Iowa), Doug Lamborn (Colo.), Kenny Marchant (Texas), Jeff Miller (Fla.), Randy Neugebauer (Texas), Tom Price (Ga.), Mike Rogers (Ala.), Mark Souder (Ind.), Mac Thornberry (Texas), Todd Tiahrt (Kan.), Tim Walberg (Mich.), Zach Wamp (Tenn.), Dave Weldon (Fla.), Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.), Don Young (Alaska) and Bill Young (Fla.), as well as Democrat Mike McIntyre (N.C.).

Wild Thing's comment........

Have you seen the America I knew and loved so dearly?

Yes, there are still children playing with glee, kites flying in the wind, picnic's in the park, friends and family get together's and parades in most cities celebrating our wonderful Veterans and our troops today for our Freedom.

But slowly right before our very eyes the America that we knew and loved is slipping through our fingers like water running through an open hand.

Open borders, pandering to illegal's from the very top positions of leadership down, abundant information available to one and all about the enemy we are fighting, Islam, and yet we have a President that says it is a religion of peace. Misguided I think not. Deliberate catering to the enemy is more like it.

Those of you here, Team Theodore, are very knowledgeable of what has been happening. Your love for America and your passion is seen and shared with the thousands of hits I get each day at this blog. We are not alone in our disappointment, sadness, frustration and anger.

I don't know what our future holds for our country, but it feels like our country is being put to a test of strength. Will we pass this test or fail? I know our Veterans sure as hell deserve better, you served and did your amazing part to keep us a land of the free, and I think that is where my heart hurts the most when I see what has been happening.

Our troops of today, deserve better too. They are fighting an enemy that want to rule the world.

I won't give up on America she is worth fighting for. This may be the most important election in my lifetime. I pray America gets another chance.

The 'Bumper Sticker' That Blows Up

I have to tell you this is some of the best biting witticism of truth that Ann Coulter has put together. It is clear as to why the Dhimmicrats hate her as much as the Jihadists. She is speaking the truth and I guarantee you the only come back a slanted Lefty will have is how rude of Coulter to poignantly type the truth in such a harsh Politically Incorrect way.

Read Coulter’s “The 'Bumper Sticker' That Blows Up″ to comprehend how the Democrats Dhimmicrats delusional lying propanda could come back to bite them in the gludius maximus.

Murtha’s Slow Bleed Strategy

Murtha’s “Slow Bleed Strategy” is aimed at stopping the Troop Surge, however what it really does is exact a demeanor of defeat and places the Troops in Iraq in harms way by holding back funds that provide equipment that protect our soldiers.

Does anyone see the irony? Not too long ago the Democrats were castigating President Bush for not planning well enough for soldiers to have the proper equipment for protection of our soldiers, now Murtha is attempting to make soldier safety an uncertainty in his crusade to administer a defeat for America in Iraq.

Stop the Pelosi-Murtha 'Slow Bleed' Today

Republican National Committee
E-Newsletter 8:32 AM 2/22/07
Mike Duncan, Chairman Republican National Committee

Last week, I wrote to you about the Democrat 'slow bleed' strategy for Iraq. Proposed by John Murtha, 'slow bleed' would do exactly what it sounds like: gradually take away the resources our men and women need to fight the terrorists in Iraq. It would limit reinforcements, and possibly even close the bases that offer support and shelter for our troops. The Democrats had hoped to keep the 'slow bleed' plan under the radar by adding it onto other bills, but now even the liberal press are reporting on the story.

A Washington Post editorial last Saturday described the Murtha 'slow bleed' plan as "crudely hamstringing the ability of military commanders to deploy troops" and went on to say this: "Mr. Murtha's cynicism is matched by an alarming ignorance about conditions in Iraq. He continues to insist that Iraq 'would be more stable with us out of there,' in spite of the consensus of U.S. intelligence agencies that early withdrawal would produce 'massive civilian casualties.' He says he wants to force the administration to 'bulldoze' the Abu Ghraib prison, even though it was emptied of prisoners and turned over to the Iraqi government last year. He wants to 'get our troops out of the Green Zone' because 'they are living in Saddam Hussein's palace'; could he be unaware that the zone's primary occupants are the Iraqi government and the U.S. Embassy? It would be nice to believe that Mr. Murtha does not represent the mainstream of the Democratic Party or the thinking of its leadership. Yet when asked about Mr. Murtha's remarks Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered her support."

Even the liberal columnist E.J. Dionne criticized the Murtha 'slow bleed' plan, saying that "the sense that the proposal has been crafted in part for reasons of political convenience and the intricate restrictions it would place on the military are precisely what could doom it."

Those are exactly the reasons 'slow bleed' should be doomed, and we need your help to do it:

· Write a letter to your editor or call in to talk radio today condemning the Democrat 'slow bleed' strategy.

· And then call your Congressman or Senator and tell them not to support a plan that would leave our brave men and women in harm's way without adequate resources to protect themselves.

The Murtha 'slow bleed' strategy is a dishonest and dangerous response to the challenges we face in Iraq. Together, we can and we must stop Congress from passing the Murtha plan.

Sincerely,

Mike Duncan Chairman, Republican National Committee
