 Judson Phillips This is an article originally appearing on Tea Party Nation and can be found here. It is a very important statement and warning. Free speech: Void where prohibited.
There are some questions that are so obvious they should not even have to be asked. In New York City, one of these questions was asked. What was the result? It was nothing less than a complete assault of free speech.
What was the question, who assaulted free speech and will freedom in America survive?
Blogger Pamela Geller, along with the American Freedom Defense Initiative put some billboards up on the New York subway system. The message of the billboards was simple. They said, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”
This should not even be a debate. The terrorists who are attacking Israel on a regular basis have no qualms about murdering men, women and children. They think the highest calling in life is to strap on a vest loaded with explosives and shrapnel, scream “Allah Akbar” and blow themselves up.
These are the same kind of lunatics that drove airplanes into the World Trade Center towers on 9/11.
This is the kind of sentiment you would think 90% of people would agree with.
Geller had to sue in New York to get the right to place her message.
Shortly after the billboards went up, a savage struck. Mona Eltahawy is an “Egyptian-American” activist. She’s also an idiot who hates free speech, which seems to be her prime qualification to be a pundit on MSNBC and CNN. She spray painted one of the billboards. A bystander tried to protect the billboard but Eltahawy told the bystander that she had the right to deface the billboard. It was free speech.
Eltahawy believes in free speech for herself and no one else. At least no one who disagrees with her.
The New York Metropolitan Transit Authority is now revising its advertising guidelines to prohibit ads that “incite or provoke violence or cause an immediate breech of the peace.”
In other words, Eltahawy’s heckler’s veto is going to deny some Americans’ right to free speech. Does anyone really believe that standard would be used to deny anti-Israeli or pro-Islamist advertising?
The newest battle for freedom we are seeing is right here at home. Free speech is under attack. The forces of tyranny do not like free speech. They do not like the free exchange of ideas.
Yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan Islamists rallied demanding the creation of blasphemy laws here in the United States to repeal free speech and demand that there be no “insulting Islam.”
At the United Nations this past week, Barack Obama came out in favor of those who oppose free speech. Instead of condemning terrorism and Islamist violence, he attacked the free speech rights of an Egyptian Copt who made a movie critical of Islam. Then a couple of days later, the filmmaker was arrested on a probation violation charge. The grounds for his probation violation were so weak that if he had not made this movie and been an ordinary probationer, he never would have had his probation violated.
Freedom exists only as long as brave men and women are willing to stand and defend their rights. Our rights are under assault as never before. We have a President who would prefer to be a dictator and not a President.
The next few weeks will decide whether freedom continues to live in America or whether we will start down that dark road towards tyranny.
I choose freedom!

 Iran Hostage Crisis (1979) The performance and horror of this Administration are so uncannily like the abominable Carter Administration that I cannot understand the mentality of diehard Democrats. Now it's even come to a repeat of the embassy invasions à la Tehran, 1979. Only this time, no hostages were taken -- no, there were killings instead. Killings without any remorse or sympathy from the tyrannical governments our Administration has supported and instigated.
So we have disgusting photos of our diplomat's and marines' bodies being dragged through the streets, but we won't have the sorry spectacle of an idiot president fumbling and bumbling through hostage negotiations and botched inept rescue efforts. Burn in hell, Carter, and same for you, Obama!
I'm angry. Much too angry to speak more about this. What are you going to do about this people?! If this November is anything less than a landslide rejection of the evil and malicious corrosive destruction now occupying the White House, I will never forgive the American population.
Sorry..... But that's exactly how I feel.

 Muslim Brotherhood There is no glory in pure expediency. But what is a nation to do when the cost of altruism is the death of a mother's son?
That is the kind of question posed to the United States as it watches civilian bodies pile like cordwood in Syria.
Should a predominantly Christian America bomb Damascus to save the lives of Muslim women and children? But more important, if some of them are the wives and offspring of militant Islamists who see Americans as infidel imperialists, should we expend our blood or treasure for their benefit? This is our query regarding the "Arab Spring" democracy movement. The cause would seem to favor America's view that people are endowed by their Creator with an unalienable right to govern themselves. As such, a Middle East democracy initiative was actually commenced in the last Bush administration and embraced by President Obama.
The problem is that it is simplistic and counterproductive to American interests.
America's democracy initiative brought about free elections in the area controlled by the Palestinian authority. The result was that the majority of the people, at least in Gaza, chose to establish a brutal dictatorship headed by the terrorists of Hamas. Then, when free elections were held in Egypt, the majority chose the repressive Muslim Brotherhood to lead their new parliament. In the most recent news, we learned that in Libya, newly "freed" by our NATO military, an al-Qaida terrorist chief spent weeks shopping for weapons. In Egypt, where we joined to call for the ouster of a dictator, Christian churches were burned. And when these Christians held a demonstration to highlight their concerns with their newly democratized nation, 27 were killed. Years ago, I was an enthusiastic member of a group known as Young Americans for Freedom. Founded by William F. Buckley, the intellectual architect of the modern conservative movement, this group established as one of its guiding principles that American foreign policy must solely be judged by whether it serves the interest of the United States.
The building of "democratic" dictatorships that may end up oppressing Christians and enslaving women with Sharia law serves only the interest of academics who can see no farther than the ballot box. Altruistic democratic nation-building sounds noble, but it does not necessarily serve American interests. The Assad family in Syria, as brutal as it is, may be better able to serve the interests of the United States than the terrorist sympathizers to be found among those who oppose it. The regime has kept peace along its border with Israel and has not directly eroded America's Middle East position. To be sure, its support of Islamists in Lebanon did not serve American interests well, but it has kept its mischievous conduct to a low level.
On the other hand, the enemies of the Assad regime include Islamists with a spiritual kinship to the Taliban and al-Qaida. Giving them a helping hand could prove as shortsighted as Jimmy Carter arming the Taliban in its fight against the Soviet Union. Foreign policy ought not be the product of a simpleton's slogan like "democracy now". It is a complex decision which needs to be judged solely by its contribution to American security. So what ought the United States do when Syria murders its dissidents in pursuit of power for its minority sect? The answer is that intervention into Syria only strengthens terrorists. When the choice is between strengthening our enemies and helping evildoers who harm them, the answer is not to choose at all. Ron Paul has a legitimate point when he reminds us again that "we are not the world's policeman". Sure, we must urge the Assads of this world to restrain themselves. Nor can we become in any way complicit in their evil. But our own interests must supersede the natural desire to play "superhero" to the oppressed. In 1982, Syria's former leader descended upon the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-regime Islamists in the town of Hama, killing 20,000 civilians. Americans ought to mourn every day for the innocent of Syria, then and now. But our grief and disgust ought not make our soldiers part of the statistics or our taxes part of the price.
From Tripoli to Damascus, we should agree that there are problems we cannot and should not solve.

The Third Jihad, the newest offering from the producers of the captivating documentary film, Obsession, explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this “homegrown jihad” poses to national security, western liberties and the “American way of life". The film, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, opens with the following statement: “This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This film is about them.” In 72 minutes, the film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world. In contrast to the use of “violent jihad” and terror to instill fear in “non-believers", The Third Jihad introduces the concept of “cultural jihad” as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within. Please take the time to view this film -- if not right now, soon. Bill Cochrane
If you have not read up on the Twelfth Imam, you should. If you do not understand the Return of the Mahdi, you should educate yourself. You need not believe this tenet of Islam -- I dearly hope that you do not. But it matters not whether you believe it. It is absolutely crucial, however, that you understand it. Because the government of Iran and many millions more Islamists outside Iran do believe in the Return of the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam. And the government of Iran is acting upon that belief -- a belief in which they hold an unshakeable faith. Our U.S. Government either does not understand this faith or they are choosing to disregard it. This may be a horrible mistake that will cost many millions of lives in the foreseeable future. Those who have researched and read Islamic texts and accounts of the prophecy of the Mahdi will tell you that this is an End Days prophecy that parallels the Book of Revelation in the Christian Holy Bible. Except that the prophecy of the Mahdi is the reverse of the Revelation in nearly every way. Iran believes they can accelerate the Return of the Mahdi, and once this belief is understood, the actions of the Iranian government become clearly explainable. If you are ready to begin your understanding, you might begin by reading " The Mahdi does not negotiate; neither should we." Bill Cochrane
_Col. West was elected in November, 2010, to Congress from Florida. During the elections he was part of a panel on how to handle or how to relate to Muslims. You will see his answer here explaining in just over a minute the truth about Islam.
_The following picture was posted by an American soldier posted in Iraq on the last day there, while shutting down his base before coming home. It is a photo of a can of Pepsi-cola produced and sold in Iraq. Look closely at the picture on the can. What springs to your mind? Do you think that's a pure coincidence? Just like the buildings in South Korea discussed the other day, this seems to "celebrate" a certain theme...... Thank Pepsi for going all out to cater to those who hate America. Then again, on second thought, let's not patronize a company who would do this.... Bill Cochrane Here's his post: _____________________ Today while in Iraq, shutting down one of the bases there, ironically enough I stumbled upon this can of Diet Pepsi. Take a close look at the picture and tell me the first thought that comes to your mind. My thoughts and those of many other of my brothers-in-arms were not pleasant ones, so I just want to make sure we re not just biased. If you see the same thing I did, I will never ever buy another Pepsi product again. This is an insult. Thank you for your feedback and participation. Rolando Martinez
Have you heard about the idiot who started shooting at pedestrians and motorists in Hollywood yesterday? Well, 99.9% of the media has said he was a "crazed", "irrational" gunman who began shooting "indiscriminantly", "at random" on the street until he was finally stopped by a police officer. And the Hollywood police are "looking for a motive" and "checking his home to see if a domestic dispute triggered his rampage" and they just can't figure out why he would do this. Hmmmm..... Yeah. Here's a typical news media report, probably much like the one you've seen or read: Gunman calmly targeted drivers, pedestriansStill trust the media? Who has told you that this gunman was shouting "Allahu Akbar" while shooting? How does that change the story? What agenda would cause the media to hide the fact that this was a suicide Islamic terrorist attack? Why do you still trust the media? You must look at several, often alternative media sources to discern the truth. Here is an honest report: Sudden Jihad Syndrome

This is the kind of courage and boldness that will be required to turn this nation around. Kudos to the brave lady!
Bill Cochrane Ann Barnhardt is described as "a livestock and grain commodity broker and marketing consultant, American patriot, and unwitting counter-revolutionary blogger. She can be reached through her business at www.barnhardt.biz. She has taken on Islam and they have noticed! DEATH THREAT:
To:annbarnhardt Subject: Watch your Back I'm going to kill you when I find you. Don't think I won't, I know where you and your parents live and all I'll need is one phone-call to kill ya'll. ANN'S RESPONSE:Re: Watch your back. Hello mufcadnan123! You don't need to "find" me. My address is 9175 Kornbrust Circle, Lone Tree, CO 80124. Luckily for you, there are daily DIRECT FLIGHTS from Heathrow to Denver. Here's what you will need to do. After arriving at Denver and passing through customs, you will need to catch the shuttle to the rental car facility. Once in your rental car, take Pena Boulevard to I-225 south. Proceed on I-225 south to I-25 south. Proceed south on I-25 to Lincoln Avenue which is exit 193. Turn right (west) onto Lincoln. Proceed west to the fourth light, and turn left (south) onto Ridgegate Boulevard. Proceed south, through the roundabout to Kornbrust Drive. Turn left onto Kornbrust Drive and then take an immediate right onto Kornbrust Circle. I'm at 9175. Just do me one favor. PLEASE wear body armor. I have some new ammunition that I want to try out, and frankly, close-quarter body shots without armor would feel almost unsporting from my perspective. That and the fact that I'm probably carrying a good 50 I.Q. points on you makes it morally incumbent upon me to spot you a tactical advantage. However, being that you are a miserable, trembling coward, I realize that you probably are incapable of actually following up on any of your threats without losing control of your bowels and crapping your pants while simultaneously sobbing yourself into hyperventilation. So, how about this: why don't you contact the main mosque here in Denver and see if some of the local musloids here in town would be willing to carry out your attack for you? After all, this is what your "perfect man" mohamed did (pig excrement be upon him). You see, mohamed, being a miserable coward and a con artist, would send other men into battle to fight on his behalf. Mohamed would stay at the BACK of the pack and let the stupid, ignorant suckers like you that he had conned into his political cult do the actual fighting and dying. Mohamed would then fornicate with the dead men's wives and children. You should follow mohamed's example! Here is the contact info for the main mosque here in Denver: Masjid Abu Bakr, Imam Karim Abu Zaid, 2071 South Parker Road, Denver, CO 80231 Phone: 303-696-9800 Email: denvermosque@yahoo.com I'm sure they would be delighted to hear from you. Frankly, I'm terribly disappointed that not a SINGLE musloid here in the United States has made ANY attempt to rape and behead me. But maybe I haven't made myself clear enough, so let me do that right now. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER submit to islam. I will fight islam with every fiber of my being for as long as I live because islam is pure satanic evil. If you are really serious about islam dominating the United States and the world, you are going to have to come through me. You are going to have to kill me. Good luck with that. And understand that if you or some of your musloid boyfriends do actually manage to kill me, The Final Crusade will officially commence five minutes later, and then, despite your genetic mental retardation, you will be made to understand with crystal clarity what the word "defeat" means. Either way, I win, so come and get it. Ann Barnhardt This was pasted from her website:
For some reason I am suddenly getting scads of emails asking to confirm my response to a musloid death threat. Yes, that is 100% real and accurate, and yes, that picture of a rosary-wrapped hand grasping a pink AR-15 is me. It is my very real Colt M4 that has been custom DuraCoated. Yes, yes, yes. This is the original exchange from July 22 via YouTube. This guy is a musloid over in the U.K., hence the driving directions citing the daily direct flights from Heathrow to Denver.
