Maggie's Farm

I have been saying for at least two, maybe three years now, that the majority of the Democratic Party are fifth columnists and traitorous to this nation. Their titular leader, Hillary Clinton is involved in yet another Chinese money scandal while trying to pretend she had no idea what was going down.
Thankfully she will no doubt be the Democratic nominee. And with equal thanks I find elation in the polls that show UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES would 50-52%of the people polled vote for her. That however still leaves us with very hard core factions within the Democratic Party that are willing to give sanctuary to those who would kill us, and those who would bankrupt us.

The situation in this country continues to move toward a situation where great civil unrest, fomented by these Democratic Party elements and aided by illegals, Islamics, and a sizeable prison population that is hard core and converting to Islam at an ever increasing rate will embrace their current lament of “stolen elections” and “illegitimate governments”.

This is what I see

There is a wonderful event waiting to be used that would allow for some very interesting politics.

The Vice President is also President of the Senate with full authority to preside over that body. I think The Honorable Vice President Richard Cheney should take his Constitutionally defined duty and begin to preside over the Senate until January 20, 2009.

This would allow him great latitude in how, when, and where, the Senate conducts it’s business. Man, would I love to see that happen.

Of course each Democratic Senators desk would have to be fitted with a defibrillator.

Radical Islam and U.S. Prisons


I don’t usually make predictions, but here’s one I’ll venture: If, God forbid, an attack by home-grown Islamist radicals occurs on American soil, many, if not most, of the perpetrators will have converted to Islam while in prison.

I am hardly going out on a limb here. I said this first in 2001. The spread of an especially virulent form of Islam within American prisons is obvious to those of us who have spent time in these prisons. It’s the rest of American society that is in denial. Now, thanks to a new study, ignorance is no longer an option.

The study, titled “Out of the Shadows,” concluded that “the U.S. . . . is at risk of facing the sort of homegrown terrorism currently plaguing other countries.” The source of that risk, according to researchers from George Washington University and the University of Virginia, is “[America’s] large prison population.”

“Radicalized prisoners” within this population “are a potential pool of recruits by terrorist groups,” the study says. The sources of radicalization are incarcerated Islamic extremists and outside organizations that support them. The report notes that the absence of “monitoring by authoritative Islamic chaplains” permits “materials that advocate violence [to infiltrate] the prison system undetected.”

Some of this material is provided by known al-Qaeda affiliates. It “[urges Muslim prisoners] to wage war against non-Muslims who have not submitted to Islamic rule.” As a former employee of a radical Islamist group who is now a Christian told a Senate committee, “I know of only a few instances in which prisons rejected the literature we attempted to distribute—and it was never because of the literature’s radicalism.”

Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) was correct when she called the situation “an emerging threat to our national security.” The obvious question: What do we do about it?

The study recommends the creation of a federal commission to “investigate this issue in depth.” It says that an “objective risk assessment” is “urgently needed” so that “officials [can] address this issue now, rather than [managing] a crisis later.”

I agree wholeheartedly, but let’s get on with this. We already know what the study has concluded. I’ve been telling “BreakPoint” listeners and readers and Prison Fellowship supporters about this for years. Now we have more than anecdotal evidence. We have a study from two prestigious universities on our side.

Still, I can’t help but note an irony here: The largely unimpeded spread of radical Islam through our prisons coincides with increased opposition to the one really successful antidote—that is, the presence of Christianity.

An obvious example is the lawsuit against our prison program in Iowa. Programs like ours are working. We have studies to prove it. And they are the best solution to the alienation and rage that fuels conversions to radical Islam, as well as gangs and other hate groups inside the prisons. Making it harder for organizations like Prison Fellowship to operate within prison walls leaves jihadists and other radical groups as the only game in town.

Unfortunately, opponents like Barry Lynn of the Americans United are blind to this, which puts more than the program at risk—because, as we saw in the case of the shoe bomber, Richard Reid, groups that are now operating in the shadows of our prisons are a real danger to us.

I knew it was Islamofascism Awareness Week but I was unaware that Horowitz was having to deal with a thuggish environment..that really tells me that we've gone even father down the road toward the civil veneeer of society wearing away.
The mistake many will make when the SHTF is they will approach our brothers of color with a "let's talk over our differences" approach when in reality that train has long left the station.

You don't have to paint this with a broad brush either. Not ALL whites or ALL people of color will radicalize the society but it only takes a dedicated faction to do so. Then it will be shoot first and shoot again, all on racial profiling.
Pvt. Hudson had it just about right.

In my early 40's I went to the local University )(University of North Florida, About 30,000) and took two courses. One on the French Revolution which contained in the syllabus only books written by avowed Marxists,'

The other course wa son US history from WWII until today.

I recked havoc in both courses, challenging the teaching as propaganda. Since I had help in a very small part been involved in making some of that Am History the professor loathed my attendance, for I questioned his teaching.

In the French Rev I continuously pointed out the Marxist influence in the historians treatise. It had no effect on either professor other than to induce dyspepsia.

I can only imagine doing that today..I would probably be arrested for "hate history"
