Democrats finally got some good news yesterday in the form of a U.S. senator’s retirement announcement. Previously nine of the 33 senators whose terms end next January had announced that they wouldn’t seek re-election. Only two of the retirees were Republicans, both from states where the GOP is strong, Arizona and Texas. Of the seven Democrats (including Joe Lieberman, re-elected as an independent in 2006), only two come from heavily Democratic states, Connecticut and Hawaii. Larry Sabato rates the remaining five open Democratic seats as either “likely R” (Nebraska, North Dakota) or “toss up” (New Mexico, Virginia, Wisconsin).

Snowe wonder she’s leaving.

But No. 10 is Olympia Snowe, a moderate-to-liberal Republican from Maine, a state that has moved toward the Democrats in recent years. Usually Republican in presidential elections before 1992, that year it was the only state where President Bush finished third, behind Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. The last Pine Tree State Republican elected to the U.S. House, James Longley in 1994, was shortly defeated for re-election in 1996. Maine does have a conservative Republican governor, but he was elected in 2010 with just 38% of the vote in a five-way race.

WHILE EVERYONE IS CROWING ABOUT THIS MOVIE…AT LEAST DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL SAW THROUGH THE TRIPE AND HYPE….
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/47577/outrage-navy-seals-movies-terrorist-is-jewish-tortures-murders-cia-agents-smuggles-jihadists-into-u-s/:

“The movie, which debuts in theaters today, goes to great pains to tell you that the largest terrorist plot against America is perpetrated by a Jew.”….What could have been a decent made-for-TV movie with real-life Navy SEALS trying their hands at acting, instead became an anti-Semitic diatribe in which the main terrorist financier and torturer of CIA agents is, not Muslim, but Jewish. ”

G. MURPHY DONOVAN A VIETNAM VETERAN SAYS THIS:

Socialist realism is making a comeback in some strange places — Hollywood and the Pentagon are good examples. Like the Soviet propaganda flicks of yore, the good guys are ten feet tall, and the bad guys are ambiguous nitwits. The action film Act of Valor purports to show “active-duty SEALs,” an elite cadre specially trained for covert warfare, in operations “based on true events.” For openers, it’s hard to quibble about the hype for feature-length propaganda, but it’s also difficult to reconcile “true” anything and a Hollywood film crew.

And the nonsense about secrecy is just that. Special Forces, and what they do, haven’t been secrets since the Kennedy administration. If special operations are clandestine, you might ask, why is the Department of Defense in bed with Tinsel Town again? If the covert Navy is on a heading from cloak and dagger to Hollywood Boulevard, recruiting numbers should hit bottom in no time. True warriors make poor actors, and the best actors often make implausible warriors.

Beyond advertising misnomers, this film fails as a recruiting incentive and as art. Indeed, nearly two thirds of the early professional reviews are negative. And let’s not be too quick to write off the media for their usual liberal bias. This ham-handed attempt to glamorize the Special Forces deserves all the bad press it gets. The whole project looks like a poorly made, and politically fishy, video game.

Kathyrn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008) was an award-winning piece of military realism a few years ago because the film had good actors and great writing — sparse and laced with grim humor. Act of Valor has none of this. Hurt Locker had the look and feel of a documentary, because the director had the good sense to step back and avoid the usual Hollywood bravo sierra.

Who in the Pentagon or Department of Defense thought it was a good idea to show real SEALs fighting a fake enemy? Are we not fighting a real Islamists in what is now approaching half-dozen real Muslim countries? All the real action is in the real Muslim world — yet Act of Valor would have you believe that the bad guys are Russian drug dealers, Chechens, or Filipinos with weird accents. Are we to believe that the worldwide terror campaign against peace and civility flourishes mostly in the Caucasus or Mindanao?

Nick Clegg urged to act after Lib Dem peer says Israel will not last for ever
Party leader urged to condemn Lady Tonge, who said Israel would ‘lose support and then they will reap what they have sown’
So, rather than retract her latest abhorrent remarks about Israel, Baroness Tonge (pictured), aka Jenny Tonge, the virulently anti-Israel life peer dubbed “Jihad Jenny” by some commentators, has quit the Liberal Democrats (but will, of course, continue to sit in the House of Lords).

Known for a series of truly egregious remarks about Israel over the years, some of which have prompted allegations of antisemitism, for sharing platforms with people widely regarded as extremists, and for her unashamed appearances on Iran’s PressTV, her remarks at the recent hate-fest against Israel at Middlesex University featuring the notorious Ken O’Keeffe, drew a barrage of criticism from various sides of politics, with Labour leader Ed Miliband (hardly the warmest friend of Israel himself) joining the fray by tweeting:

“No place in politics for those who question existence of the state of Israel. Nick Clegg must condemn Jenny Tonge’s remark and demand apology.”

The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report
The participant list and agenda for the “International Conference on Jerusalem”, taking place in Qatar, reveals that the participants represent an unprecedented coalition arrayed against Israel that includes representatives of the:

* Global Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas (including the head of a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood group)

* Palestinian Authority

* United Nations

* Arab League

* OIC

as well as EU-country politicians, U.S. and European academics, Arab and Turkish diplomats, Iranian Holocaust deniers, a cult of Jewish rabbis who also have supported holocaust denial and called for the destruction of Israel, representatives of far-left political groups, and at least one individual tied to both the European far-right and far-left. This complete list is far too long to be comprehensively analyzed but includes the following individuals of particular interest who are tied to the Global Muslim Brotherhood, all with varying histories of anti-Semitism as well as anti-Israel incitement:

Recently the United States Supreme Court announced that it would reconsider the issue of ‘affirmative action’ in higher education. The matter was last decided by the court in 2003 when it decided in favor of affirmative action in a case involving the University of Michigan Law School. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor rendered the majority opinion. Before examining her views on diversity it would be worth a moment or two to hear an excerpt from the minority view.

Justice Clarence Thomas began his dissenting opinion in the 2003 Michigan Law School case by quoting what Frederick Douglas told a group of abolitionists 140 years ago:
“[I]n regard to the colored people, there is always more that is benevolent, I perceive, than just, manifested toward us. What I ask for the negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us….I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! [Y]our doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall!…And if the negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!…Your interference is doing him positive injury.”

I will leave it to the historians to pinpoint when President Obama began to lose the 2012 election, but I think it occurred on June 4, 2009 when he gave a speech at Cairo University as part of his now-famed “apology tour” of the Middle East.

At the time he said, “We meet at a time of great tension between the United States and Muslims around the world—tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate…More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a cold war in which Muslim-majority countries were often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.”

Apparently, to Obama, those tensions had nothing to do with a dastardly attack on September 11, 2001 that killed nearly three thousand non-combatant civilians and those working at their desks in the Pentagon. It had nothing to do with the earlier attack on the Twin Towers, the attack on U.S. embassies in Africa, the attack on the USS Cole, or, going back to 1983, the suicide bomb attack on Marine barracks in Beirut. And that’s just the short list.

A NOTE TO THE RESIDENTS TO SHVUT RACHEL…..THANK YOU!!! HAVE A HAPPY PURIM AND PASSOVER IN YOUR HOMES….WE AT AMERICANS FOR A SAFE ISRAEL SALUTE, SUPPORT AND BLESS YOU…..RSK

SHVUT RACHEL, West Bank (AP) — Israel has legalized one of the oldest and largest of the unsanctioned settler enclaves dotting the West Bank, a step denounced by the Palestinians and Israeli activists as a show of bad faith ahead of talks next week between the Israeli leader and President Barack Obama.

The dispute over settlements has confounded Washington’s attempts to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, mostly on hold since 2008. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to stop construction and the Palestinians say they won’t negotiate while Israel unilaterally determines the borders of their state through settlement-building.

Now, the question of outposts Israel has not formally sanctioned is coming to a head: The government is under Supreme Court orders to evacuate residents from Migron, a relatively large such enclave, by the end of March.

Aware that doing so could badly unsettle the ruling rightist coalition, officials have attempted to avoid a confrontation by persuading residents, so far unsuccessfully, to move to a nearby sanctioned settlement.

Simple Shimon Peres interviewed by Barbara Walters on “the View” today: – he just helped Obama to be re-elected

WHEN JHIMMI CARTER WAS RUNNING AGAINST RONALD REAGAN IN 1980 ISRAELI WAR HERO EZER WEIZMAN CAME TO SHILL FOR HIM TOO…DIDN’T HELP AT ALL….RSK

Here’s the full interview with Shimon Peres on The View with Barbara Walters. You can bet that line about Obama being the best for Israel’s security is going into an Obama campaign ad.
Something tells me that they won’t be inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to be on The View. And no kiss from Barbara Walters either.

Islamic Fundamentalism in the German Federal Republic

The 21st-century Counterjihad movement came late to the game. The work that we do today was anticipated more than twenty years ago — even before Bat Ye’or published The Dhimmi — by Karl Binswanger, a German scholar and expert on the Ottoman Empire. In a ground-breaking essay published in 1990, Dr. Binswanger analyzed the parallel Turkish society that was then emerging in German cities.
Andrew Bostom has commissioned a translation of this important work. The full text is below, preceded by Dr. Bostom’s introduction.

An Introduction to Karl Binswanger
By Andrew G. Bostom

Karl Binswanger was born in 1947, and studied at the University of Munich where he received a Ph.D in 1977 for the thesis, Investigations on the Status of Non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire of the 16th Century, With a New Definition of the Concept “Dhimma”, a pioneering analysis of dhimmitude under Ottoman rule. He was a research fellow at the Institut fur Geschichte und Kultur des Nahen Ostens, Munich, from 1978-1980, and subsequently analyzed Islamic fundamentalism in Iran, Syria, and within Germany itself.
