OUTRAGE: School Kids in Texas Forced To Learn About Islam From CAIR
This via WND:
Public school students at Friendswood Junior High in the Houston area have been roped into Islamic training by representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations during class time…
Parents were never notified and only found out from their kids after the fact. The principal unilaterally decided that children in Friendswood need to learn about Islam from an organization that the FBI named as co-conspirators in a recent terrorism trial.
The parent reported the presentation was 30 to 40 minutes long and handled by two Muslim women from CAIR’s Houston office. CAIR, as WND has reported, is spinoff of the defunct Islamic Association for Palestine, launched by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and former university professor Sami al-Arian, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Kids were forced to learn the “five pillars of Islam”, how to pray 5 times a day, and of course the most important lesson of all, “There is one God, his name is Allah”.
It is beyond belief that Principal Robin Lowe, would allow two thugs from CAIR on school grounds to brainwash kids about Islam.
I find this entire episode particularly offensive since it took place in my town, only a few blocks from my home. I’m told that parents are organizing as we speak to hold protests, and I hope we can all come together to see this broad fired.

Video: Obama’s Church Strikes Again
Barack Obama’s church is back in the headlines again. Only this time it’s not Rev. Wright that’s causing the controversy. Instead it’s Father Michael Pfleger who was the invited guest pastor last Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ.
His sermon was filled with much of the same anti-white, racist rhetoric that Rev. Wright’s are, but the unusual thing about Pfleger is that he’s a white Catholic Priest.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m beginning to sense a pattern at this particular church. A pattern of racism and radical ideology that Barack Obama and his family sat through for 20 years.
Take a look:
The McClellan Book: A Weapon Of Mass Deception
An article in today’s Washington Post reveals startling new details about just how Scott McClellan’s book came to be.
Peter Osnos , the founder of Public Affairs, the left-wing company that published “What Happened,” described Scott’s initial book ideas as a “a not-very-interesting, typical press secretary book.”
Osnos said McClellan just needed “editorial guidance” to tell the story he wanted to tell all along. Which sounds to me like a pretty stunning admission.
Roughly translated, Osnos is saying that Scott initially turned in a boring (and likely accurate) book and those books don’t sell. So Osnos gave Scott some “editorial guidance” and together they produced the hatchet job your reading today!
To further prove my point, Osnos told the Washington Post this:
“First we had to ascertain what kind of book he wanted to write,” said Osnos, a former Washington Post reporter and editor. “We are journalists, independent-minded publishers. We weren’t interested in a book that was just a defense of the Bush administration. It had to pass our test of independence, integrity and candor.”
Yet another stunning admission from Osnos. He’s basically saying that Public Affairs wasn’t interested in publishing a defense of the Bush Administration. Scott’s book needed to pass their test of “independence, integrity, and candor.”
The “integrity, independence, and candor” Osnos refers to means that Scott’s book would have to conform to specific liberal talking points if Public Affairs was going to publish the book.
Which explains why Scott’s former boss Ari Fleisher said he was blind sided by the book. Fleisher said he kept in touch with Scott and spoke to him several times over the last year. He said Scott told him the book would be complimentary to the President, but admitted taking some shots at Rove and Libby.
Then when he saw the book he couldn’t believe what he was reading. Moreover, everyone who knows Scott says the way the book reads doesn’t sound like him at all. Bartlett, Rove, Perrino, and Fleisher all say that he doesn’t write like that and it sounds like someone else.
Clearly, Scott’s publisher took the book and did a complete overhaul on it. Nearly every accusation leveled at the administration by left-wing blogs concerning the Iraq war, Valerie Plame, and more, over the last few years is included in the book.
The final icing on the cake is the George Soros connection to all this. PublicAffairs Books is owned by Perseus Books Group. Perseus Books Group is owned by Perseus Funds Group. Perseus Funds Group has a holding company called Perseus LLC which has several joint ventures with George Soros.

SHOCK: Video of Live Alien To Be Shown Tomorrow
A video will be shown to the media tomorrow in Denver, which allegedly shows a live alien for the first time. Supposedly, the video has been seen by “experts” and authenticated.
“It shows an extraterrestrial’s head popping up outside of a window at night, looking in the window, that’s visible through an infrared camera,” he said. The alien is about 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking…”

The U.S. Is Right Not To Join Cluster Bomb Ban
The United States, China, Russia, Israel, and a few others, are right not to join the 110 countries in signing the treaty to ban cluster munitions from the battlefield.
Cluster Bombs are a potent weapon that the U.S. military should continue to use whenever necessary. Human rights organizations which are of course championing this ban are not taking into account new technologies in cluster munitions.
The biggest complaint by human rights groups is the tendency of cluster bombs to leave unexploded bomblets scattered across a wide area. Years after a conflict has ended these bomblets remain lethal and can detonate at anytime and frequently kill civilians.
This is a legitimate concern and one the U.S. military has already addressed. The U.S. has recently begun using a brand new cluster bomb called the CBU-97 SFW. The SFW stands for “Sensor Fused Weapon” and it contains dozens of “smart” bomblets.
When the bomb is dropped, the outer casing comes apart and releases the sub-munitions (bomblets) across a wide area just like a traditional cluster bomb. The difference with the new SFW is that each bomblet has a sensor inside it that immediately scans the area and hones in on a target and kills it.
However, if the bomblet scans the area and fails to find a target it simply self-destructs in mid-air leaving behind a “clean” battlefield.
A single CBU-97 SFW can kill everything inside in area roughly the size of a football field and leave no unexploded bomblets behind.
This new cluster bomb is only the beginning of the technologies we’ll have in the future, so there is simply no reason to join in any kind of ban on cluster bombs.

House Dems Promise To “Arrest” Rove If He Refuses To Testify
You can always count on some good comic relief from the Democratically controlled Congress. The House Judiciary committee is planning to arrest Karl Rove if he refuses to testify about his role in the faux U.S. Attorney firing scandal.
This according to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) who made the hilarious claim in an interview on The Obama Network MSNBC.
Asked by MSNBC host Dan Abrams if the committee would go far as having Rove arrested, Wasserman said it would.
“Well, if that’s what it takes,” she said. “I mean we really cannot allow the co-equal branch of government, the legislative branch, to be trampled upon by the executive branch. The founding fathers established three branches of government. We are a co-equal branch, and this is an administration that essentially has ignored and disrespected the role of the legislative branch for far too long.”
We’ve seen Kabuki theater from the Democrats before, but this is gonna be good!
Scott McClellan: Finished At 40
The more I think about Scott McClellan’s book, the more I wonder what his motives are. I’m far too cynical to believe he just wants to “do the right thing” and “come clean.” In fact, that’s the least likely motivation but one the Democrats are sure to play-up.
Whether or not the allegations in the book are true is irrelevant, it’s McClellan’s motivation for basically spitting on every person who helped him get ahead over the last 10 years that I wonder about. Scott is only 40 years old, but his book will guarantee that he never works in Washington ever again, at least not for any Republican.
I’ve actually met Scott’s mother, Carole Keeton Strayhorn, a few times when she was running for Governor here in the great state of Texas. Scott got his start working for her after he graduated from college when she was running for Mayor of Austin.
So Scott’s roots in Texas politics run deep and the most powerful family in Texas is of course the Bushes. George W. Bush’s longtime friend and confidant Karen Hughes hired McClellan to be then Governor Bush’s deputy press secretary.
To make a long story short, for someone who wants a career in Republican politics, working for the Bush family is about as good as it gets. So Scott worked for Bush throughout his two terms as Governor of Texas and continued through the 2000 election.
In early 2003, President Bush appointed Scott to the prestigious post of Deputy White House Press Secretary. Later that same year he became White House Press Secretary when Ari Fleischer stepped down.
Then in April of 2006, Scott announced his resignation.
Now in 2008, Scott has apparently decided that everyone he’s ever worked for can just go to hell. He’s decided to adopt nearly every left-wing talking point word for word and throw it at the President in an election season no less.
He’s even decided to commit the ultimate betrayal and appear on Countdown With Keith Olbermann next week to tout his book.
Even if everything McClellan says in the book is true, why would a person be that disloyal? He was part of an ultra-exclusive club in which few people can ever claim membership to.
Once your “in”, the only cost for keeping your membership is simply to “dance with the one who brung you” so to speak.
Maybe I’m just overly ambitious or morally bankrupt, but if President Bush had given me my career and considered me a friend, I would never even think of betraying him like that.
One thing President Bush is known for and his family is known for is their fierce loyalty. If your a loyal “Bushie” they don’t forget that. In fact, Scott’s brother Mark is the current Medicare Director and the former food and drug administrator under President Bush.
The bottom line is that Scott McClellan is a f*cking idiot to have destroyed an otherwise bright future at the ripe old age of 40.
He’s finished in the Republican Party forever, but I guess like everyone else he’s hoping Barack Obama throws him a few bread crumbs. However, I wouldn’t count on it.
