NEFA: Slain Hamas Militant Challenges Political Leadership Over Participation in Democratic Elections, "Supporting the Christians"

2008-06-26 10:11:15

The NEFA Foundation has obtained a new video from dissident members of the Izzadeen al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Palestinian territories - of their recently slain comrade Rami Abu Suweirah (a.k.a. Abu Huzaifah) condemning the political leadership of Hamas for their decision to participate in democratic elections in the Palestinian territories, and for various other “violations of Shariah.” Abu Suweirah insisted, “ I… pledge...(read more)

Political songs

2008-06-23 06:41:00

To speak about Italian politic's songs it must starts from longtime ago: the Ist World War. It's 1917 the year of famous October Russian's revolution and, in the same year, the fascism takes its bases with the less knows Battle of Piave River. We can see these two storic episodies as the two bases of the same kind of music: the politic songs. The politics songs can starts in differents methods, but the most part of its, and the most importants comes from the authors and their political cares. Fascism goes to power in 1920 and it will be the only possibles form of politic: who doesn't want it, could be imprisons , or could be, in the most of politicians cases, expelled from Italy as a normal criminal, but who makes politics as socialists, comunists,liberals, repubblicans, in the most part of cases goes away from Italy and went to France. The others (little) part of Italians with different politic ideas to the fascism can only to rest in silent, do not partecipates to fascists reunion

On Political Opportunism and Manufactured Controversies

2008-06-18 09:55:00

The 2008 presidential campaign is turning out to be the campaign of surrogates and guilt by association. John McCain, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many other candidates have had to apologize for and/or distance themselves from some of their supporters who have made provocative, embarrassing, or downright offensive remarks. Some of these transgressions and embarrassments happened on the campaign trail, as was the case with Black Entertainment Television founder and Clinton supporter Bob Johnson who alluded to Barack Obama's past drug use. In other instances, the controversial remarks happened several years in the past, as was the case with Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor.Some of these remarks are truly outrageous and deserve to be covered by the media. Any politician affiliated with a person who makes such remarks should rightfully be prepared to explain them. However, we appear to have reached a level of hypersensitivity and absurdity in which feigned outrage stems from tr

And so it ends (or begins, depending upon your view of things). At long last, our national nightmare of inconsequential Democratic strife has come to an end. For the most part, Rickey steered clear of discussing the matter, primarily due to the fact that in the absence of any substantial differences between the two candidates on the major issues, the discourse quickly devolved into petty bickering on the topics of corkscrew landings, renegade reverends, and musings on who whitey would feel most comfortable voting for in November. As the primary season dragged on (and on, and on…), Rickey had come to regard Hillary Clinton and her followers with the same attitude he does for the mother goose and her baby chicks that insist upon crossing the road on Rickey’s commute to work each day: get out of the goddamned way you goofy fuckers, this shit isn’t helping anyone.In principal, Rickey has no qualms with Hillary Clinton: she’s a strong candidate with a clear vision of how to undo the

Sensex cracks below 16,000 mark on mounting political concerns

2008-06-02 07:30:00

Mounting political concerns haunted bourses since second half of day`s trading session, wiping-off steady early gains. A late sell-off was triggered by fears of early elections after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s comments that the government has no option but to hike fuel prices, pulling the benchmark index BSE Sensex below the physcological 16,000 mark.Weak European markets also played the spoilsport. The market breadth was weak. Asian markets, which opened before Indian markets were firm.The market which was firm till early afternoon trade, witnessed a sell-off thereafter triggered by reports that the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), a member of the Left Front led by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) was pulling out of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)-Left coordination committee.Slower manufacturing growth and widening trade deficit, dampened the sentiment further.The 30-share BSE Sensex provisionally ended with 424.36 points or 2.59% losss at 15,991.21 which is a

It's interesting reading some thoughts similar to what you have in mind. It is true that corruption is a problem in our governments, even from the smallest position available. I found it to be very interesting and thought provoking. There are some of the ideas presented on the site that I really really like.

The agenda of LTTE: Formulating infertile political leadership in the country

2008-05-13 08:56:28

For over two decades, it is only a single military and political leadership that has been prevailing under the fascist rule in the Wanni jungle. That is LTTE self appointed supremo Piripaharan. In the mean time, there have been five presidents ruling the country and military leadership has passed from hand to hand due to logistics and other rules of the country. Piripaharan is having only a single mission that is to defend and rule his territory by fascist iron fist. He has simply killed and eliminated political and military threats from the Tamil society. In the contrary, the political leadership in the South has to pay attention to multitude of problems of the country ranging from economic development to social and political issues.LTTE political wing with the support form of INGO’s have actively involved in destabilising economy and political structure in the south. The well planed killing of political leadership of the country is a key part of the master plane of LTTE. It started

Energy, the Environment, and Political Hypocrisy

2008-05-03 21:47:00

One of the more interesting political sideshows last week concerns the federal gas tax, which is assessed by the federal government to pay for the nation's transportation infrastructure. Revenue generated by the gas tax pays for new roads, tunnels, and bridges; repairing old or damaged ones; and conducting research to determine how and where to build new ones. Currently, the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon.Obviously, the more gas you buy, the more you pay in gas taxes. Some liberals have suggested increasing the gas tax as a way of driving down demand. This, they argue, would result in a cleaner environment and less dependence on foreign sources of oil. It's hard for politicians to not be in favor of either of these issues, especially the latter one because there is a major national security advantage to not having to rely on oil from nations that are either unstable or hostile towards the United States. Both John McCain and Hillary Clinton have stated countless times th

Political correctness breaks out in Bradford (again!)

2008-04-20 16:47:46

Bradford Police in West Yorkshire have had a double dose of political correctness come their way. It seems they can't abide anything English. The gobbledegook stuff they come up with is "health and safety" when they succeeded in banning a St.George's Day parade. The mean-spirited plods, who were in collusion with the council chiefs (a bunch of ne'er-do-well plonkers), just rabbitted on about this one issue. Shame on them. Why don't they go to China to enjoy themselves?Bradford City councillor Quasim Khan said, "We were told by the police at the meeting that the original route had not been risk assessed and if we wanted a march to go ahead on that date, St George's Day, we would have to accept a smaller, different route. The police officers were getting quite animated, saying things like 'look, this just isn't going to happen'." Police and council officials said they did not have sufficient warning of the event. Nonsense. Apparently these apparatchiks thought it would cause a race riot.

The Study of Political Islam: A Must Read

2008-04-10 12:20:00

For those who haven't seen it yet, (myself included,) there was a very good, in depth article on Front Page Magazine back in Feb. 2007, that all should read regarding Political Islam. I myself just received it today via an American Congress for Truth e-letter.There is no way I can summarize the article enough and still project it's full force of understanding. But I'll attempt to keep brevity in the forefront. The article is an interview between FPM's Jamie Glazov and CSPI's (Center for the Study of Political Islam) director, Bill Warner.Glazov's interview of Warner covers many, many, aspects of Islam and why the average person today truly understands so little of it. Warner describes the CSPI as, "a group of scholars who are devoted to the scientific study of the foundational texts of Islam—Koran, Sira (life of Mohammed) and Hadith (traditions of Mohammed)." Of which, Warner states, they're studying both the doctrine and history of Islam, or as CSPI sees it, the theory and its resul

Lame Political Discourse: Part 3

2008-04-06 13:56:00

Until the Pennsylvania primaries two weeks from now, there is not much new going on in the political world. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are still fighting each other tooth and nail, John McCain is still trying to cobble together Republican support, and the pundits keep poring over fluctuating polls measuring head-to-head general election matchups. A consequence of these slow news periods is that it is easier for the media to focus on trivial or mundane matters. However, these dry periods also pose a risk for politicians because the magnifying glass of a larger news hole makes it easier for them to be caught flatfooted and for their warts to be exposed.The latest political foul ball comes from John McCain, who took offense to a comment liberal talk show host Ed Schultz made prior to a Barack Obama campaign event last Friday. Schultz called McCain a warmonger while he was ginning up the crowd prior to Obama's appearance. John McCain called upon Obama to repudiate the remarks:"M

There’s a simple reason.It takes awhile to get the vote count to match expectations and the pre-assigned winner. In other words, New Mexico is corrupt to the point where it redefines corruption.

Barack and Bowling: A Political Gutterball

2008-04-02 11:11:00

Last weekend Barack Obama went bowling in Altoona, Pennsylvania, with Senator Bob Casey. As an avid bowler myself (hence the name of this blog, The 7-10), this story is of personal relevance to me. Bowling alleys are normally places for raucous laughter, intense competition, and playful teasing. Unfortunately for Obama, however, this seemingly innocent campaign event may come back to haunt him.Of course, Obama and his supporters probably thought the event was at least a modest success. After all, he got the chance to show his lighter side to voters and humanize himself. It showed him interacting with real regular people on their turf. And given the heated rhetoric, personal attacks, and overall negativity that often characterize politics, yukking it up with voters at the local bowling alley seems like a refreshing blast of fresh air.Before going any further, I must qualify this post by adding a disclaimer. Bowling is both a game and a sport. Some people take it more seriously t

Political Loyalty

2008-03-24 19:00:00

Last week, Bill Richardson gave his official endorsement of Barack Obama. With this endorsement came criticism of his loyalty to the Clintons, even being referred to as a traitor. I don't know if Bill Richardson was just looking out for himself, but this whole question of being loyal to a person or political party is absolutely insane. What about being loyal to the United States of America? Let's say Bill Richardson was telling the truth and he believes that Barack Obama is a once in a lifetime leader. That being the case, then I think he owes it to his country to make this endorsement. If he didn't, then Bill Richardson would be putting his loyalties to a person before his loyalties to his country. This is the problem with today's political atmosphere--people's first loyalty is to themselves, their next loyalty is to their political party, then maybe their loyalty is to their country. Even the news media puts their first loyalty to ratings. If we are to get Americ

New Zealand Bans Political Satire: Thank You Big Government

2008-03-23 16:13:32

In case anyone needed to keep up-to-date on Liberal Fascism around the world, New Zealand's politicians just banned the use of photos taken from their debating chambers that could later be used as satire. It is interesting watching the logical extent of "Progressivism" around the world. Too bad most of the American public is too enamored watching American Idol. Apparently, New Zealand's...

Malaysia Political Situation

2008-03-22 09:39:00

The ruling coalition BN continues to face an uphill battle to get its house in order having seen 2 Cabinet Deputy Ministers rejecting their appointments, the threat of defections from government party members to a newly-formed Opposition alliance under Anwar and now a challenger in Tengku Razaleigh, offering himself for the top job in UMNO.At this present stage, there is despair among the rank-and-file over the significant inroads made by the Opposition. A large dose of the blame for the poor performance is being put on the PM, with the bolder critics pointing to public disenchantment with PM's leadership as the source of the defeat of many candidates. Furthermore, the Malaysian economy is in desperate need of a boost amid a deepening global liquidity crisis and a US recession.Just an opinion. © Forex Trading Journal Some right reserved.

Obama's Speech: The Political Impact

2008-03-20 11:43:00

The big political story this week concerns the much-anticipated speech on race that Barack Obama gave in Pennsylvania. This speech was mainly in response to the controversy surrounding the firestorm brought about by remarks from his pastor Jeremiah Wright, but one can't help but wonder if it was also in response to the lingering racial tone the presidential race has taken over the past few months starting with Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of his campaign and Bill Clinton's race-baiting in South Carolina.Many pundits have already written about this speech and came to various conclusions. Liberal Democrats who liked Obama generally liked his speech and felt energized by his uplifting rhetoric. Many claimed that it was the best speech since "I Have a Dream." Conservative Republicans who didn't like him much to begin with were generally unimpressed. Some of them said it was more political than courageous.But liberals and conservatives are not the people Obama needed to address. The au

JUST A BUNCH OF LINKSThe following is information that is interesting, but doesn't warrant a whole post. I'm just throwing it out for a what it's worth. There is an interesting Sarah Palin development. A very liberal site is interested in George P. Bush as VP. The best part is how badly Tom Tancredo has miscalculated and why he isn't running again. Yep - hard-line anti-immigration is a loser, even for Tancredo! INTERESTING PALIN DEVELOPMENTDraft Sarah Palin has some fascinating news. Evidently the McCain camp has registered a number of domain configurations of Sarah Palin’s name. “…Now, we ...
