SEE www.youtube.com KENDRICK MEEK, LAURA RICHARDSON, HARRY REID, RUSS FIENGOLD, ALEX SINK, COREEN BROWN ARE DEMOCRATS. DEMOCRATS WANT A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO! The proposed mosque near to ground zero is not really a religious institution. It would be — as many mosques throughout the nation are — a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination and training center. It is not the worship of Islam that is the problem. It is the efforts to advance Sharia Law with its requirement of Jihad and violence that is the nub of the issue. There is a global effort to advance Sharia Law and make it the legal system of the world. Most major banks and financial institutions offer Sharia Compliant Funds which have their investments vetted by the most fundamentalist and reactionary of clerics to assure that they advance Sharia Law. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the proposed Mosque, helps to prepare a Sharia Index which rates countries on their degree of compliance with Sharia Law. In the United Kingdom, many courts have recognized Sharia as the governing law on matters between two Muslims. Not only is Sharia Law a vicious anti-female code which orders death by stoning, promotes child marriage, decriminalizes abuse of women, and gives wives no rights in divorce, but it also explicitly recognizes the duty of all Muslims to wage Jihad against non-believers and promotes violence to achieve its goals. In this respect, violent Jihad is as inherent in Sharia Law as revolution is in Communist ...
In the 1984 presidential election, President Ronald Reagan and former Vice President Walter Mondale engage in their second debate, which focused on defense and foreign policy. They discuss such topics as Central America, relations with the Soviet Union, violence in Lebanon, the use of military force, and nuclear and stragetic weapons.
When Omar Thornton went on his mass killing rampage in Manchester, CT, he chose a locally made product: one of Sturm Ruger's SR9 line of high-capacity semiautomatic pistols. The SR9c was named 2010 "Handgun of the Year." Handgun of the Year. Mass Shooting of the Week.
October 6, 1976 Jimmy Carter: www.amazon.com Gerald Ford: www.amazon.com Carter and experts from The Carter Center assisted unofficial Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in designing a model agreement for peace---called the Geneva Accord---in 2002--2003. Carter has also in recent years become a frequent critic of Israel's policies in Lebanon, West Bank, and Gaza. In April 2008, the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat reported that Carter met with exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on his visit to Syria. The Carter Center initially did not confirm nor deny the story. The US State Department considers Hamas a terrorist organization. Within this Mid-East trip, Carter also laid a wreath on the grave of Yasser Arafat in Ramallah on April 14, 2008. Carter said on April 23 that neither Condoleezza Rice nor anyone else in the State Department had warned him against meeting with Hamas leaders during his trip. Carter spoke to Mashaal on several matters, including "formulas for prisoner exchange to obtain the release of Corporal Shalit." In May 2007, while arguing that the United States should directly talk to Iran, Carter stated that Israel has 150 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. In December 2008, Carter visited Damascus again, where he met with Syrian President Bashar Assad, and the Hamas leadership. During his visit he gave an exclusive interview to Forward Magazine, the first ever interview for any American president, current or former, with a Syrian media outlet. Carter ...
John Hagelin, Ph.D., is a world-renowned quantum physicist, educator, public policy expert, and leading proponent of peace. Dr. Hagelin received his AB summa cum laude from Dartmouth College and his MA and Ph.D. from Harvard University, and conducted pioneering research at CERN (the European Center for Particle Physics) and SLAC (the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). His scientific contributions in the fields of electroweak unification, grand unification, super-symmetry and cosmology include some of the most cited references in the physical sciences. He is also responsible for the development of a highly successful Grand Unified Field Theory based on the Superstring. Dr. Hagelin is therefore at the pinnacle of achievement among the elite cadre of physicists who have fulfilled Einstein's dream of a "theory of everything" through their mathematical formulation of the Unified Field - the most advanced scientific knowledge of our time. Dr. Hagelin is unique among scientists in being the first to apply this most advanced knowledge for the practical benefit of humankind. He has pioneered the use of Unified Field-based technologies proven to reduce crime, violence, terrorism, and war and to promote peace throughout society - technologies derived from the ancient Vedic science of consciousness. He has published groundbreaking research establishing the existence of long-range "field effects" of consciousness generated through collective meditation, and has shown that large ...

NRA Chief Executive Office Wayne LaPierre asserted last year that "the guys with the guns make the rules." Since then, people with guns have rampaged through society, killing law enforcement officers in increasing numbers, co-workers, family members, and innocent bystanders. The latest shooting at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, is an example of people with guns making rules.
