Hamas, Islam, and Israel

The Journal of Conflict Studies:

This article will attempt to prove that the ideology of Hamas has a very strong claim to be considered authentically Islamic. It is no mere perversion of Islam. It is important to recognize at the outset that Islam is not a single monolithic faith; there are several versions of Islam, each with its own reasons for claiming to be authentically "Islamic." Those who repeat this truism, however, often fail to notice its corollary, namely, that more violent and aggressive versions of Islam can make a strong claim to be at least as authentic as more progressive and peaceful versions. The ideology of Hamas and its parent, the Muslim Brotherhood, is one of several variants of Islam in the world today. The article will demonstrate that a careful study of Islamic history and doctrine will prove that this ideology, while by no means the only possible or actual interpretation of Islam, is indeed deeply rooted in classical Islamic principles relating to the acquisition and use of political power.

When someone just nails it...

From a VERY politically astute friend some of you know:

"As you well know, general election polls are meaningless. All that matters is the Electoral College, just ask President Al /Gore.

Trump expands the electoral map with Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Minnesota, Florida and arguably a few other states.

What state did Romney lose that Cruz can win?

Trump may not win in November, but at least he has a fighting chance. Cruz has no chance in a general election. None."

Understanding Jihad lies is the first step toward self-defense

Radicals in the Democratic Party used to follow Moscow. Today they follow Tehran and Riyadh. Our population has been dumbed down so much that Americans are blind to clear and present danger...the new Left-Jihad alliance that started in the 1970s when Saudi Arabia learned to buy up Western politicians with OPEC money and price manipulation.

All Natural Born Citizens are Citizens, but not all Citizens are Natural Born Citizens

This concept has been well-defined and well-precedented throughout history. First precedent and proof of concept: Ancient Greece. To be a citizen OR a ruler in ancient Greece, you had to be born to two citizen parents on the soil of your city-state. Everyone else was an alien, who could enjoy the protections of the nation but couldn't vote or participate in the political process in any way.

It is well-documented in the writings of Solon and Isocrates, chief legal writers of ancient Greece, but also in Plato and others’ writings. It was also the first example in world history of self-government of a republic by citizens under the Rule of Law based on Natural Law.

America is only the second such example in the world. The second definition of the natural born concept in history is found only in Vattel, who gave it the name: Natural Born Citizen, as quoted here, which inspired our framers sufficiently enough to include it in Article II as our presidential eligibility requirement. From our nation’s founding period until today there have been some 1063 references to ‘natural born citizen’ in legal, historical and court documents and written opinions. In every case where the term was defined in those writings, it was defined only one way: as being born to two citizen parents on the soil of the nation.

These are authentic factual photographs from the 1924 Democratic National Convention

These are authentic factual photographs from the 1924 Democratic National Convention. The 1924 Democratic National Convention, also called the Klanbake, held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City from June 24 to July 9, 1924, took a record 103 ballots to nominate a presidential candidate. It was the longest continuously running convention in United States political history. It was the first major party national convention that saw the name of a woman, Lena Springs, placed in nomination for the office of Vice President. It was also known for the strong influence of the Ku Klux Klan. John W. Davis, initially an outsider, eventually won the presidential nomination as a compromise candidate following a virtual war of attrition between front-runners William Gibbs McAdoo and Al Smith.

Davis and his vice presidential running-mate, Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, went on to be defeated by the Republican ticket of President Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes in the 1924 presidential election.

Anti-Semitism at German universities in the 1920's is not much different from anti-Semitism at today's universities

After a series of articles at American Thinker (see below) about the rampant anti-Semitism in universities, my husband, Gary Starr, penned a response:

“So, the ripened halls at Oxford are dripping with Jew Hatred and anti-Semitism. What a surprise. The Brits have never exactly been pro-Israel or friends of the Jews. For about 3-4 years they actively blocked European Jews from going to Israel after WWII....they actually kept Jewish refugees penned up in some of the German concentration camps. While not gassing them the Brits didn't provide much food despite millions of tons of allied food drops throughout post-war Europe. Saving the Jews during the war was an afterthought.

The point is that virulent anti-Semitism gains it's legitimacy, initially, at the university.....you know....where "freedom of thought" is encouraged so long as it is the politically correct freedom of thought.

In the early 1920s German student political activity was dominated by the Deutscher Hochschulring which was a militant anti-Semitic group. By 1926 the National Socialists had replaced the Deutscher Hochschulring as the dominant force in anti-semitism on campus. These students eventually became the National Socialists apparatchiks and SS officers that carried out the Holocaust.

Today the Saudi backed Muslim student groups preach Jew hatred and dispense pro palestinian propaganda. Combine that with Soros funded black lives matter and you have a lethal cesspool of Jew hatred, tacitly sanctioned by the leftist dominated Democrat party, Obama and the Clintons.

Crackpot pseudo-scientific lectures on race theory and eugenics then.........Crackpot pseudo-scientific lectures on race theory and eugenics now....with a dose of climate change thrown in for good measure. These are the new Nazi foot soldiers.

It's bad enough that this garbage flourishes in the Ivy League and other elitist universities funded by clueless alumni or fellow travelers.

What really stinks is that the tax payer is also funding Jew hatred at state universities like the University of California at Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside and Berkeley.

I can only imagine what goes on at Columbia in NYC.

Trump 2016. Time to take the leftist trash out. I can hear the garbage trucks down the block right now."

R.I.P. Nancy Reagan

Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump.

"I know this man. He is a lot of things, but he is not evil. He is a decent honest guy who loves this country, and who is willing to sacrifice so much of what is left of his life, because he knows that this country needs to be fixed, and that it is going to require someone who can do the job. He just doesn't see anything around him other than political hacks, so he is willing to take this huge responsibility.

I'm not saying that he is the only one who can do the job. My point is simply as to his motivation and his goodness."

VOTE AS YOU WISH, AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TRUMP - - A personal note from Peter Ticktin who knows the guy from high school:

As a law firm, we at The Ticktin Law Group do not like to get involved in politics. As soon as we endorse one side, we risk alienating everyone on the other side. Also, our lawyers and staff are, themselves, on both sides. Politics is not our game. However, Justice is!

If you saw a guy get publicly smeared, and you knew him well from the days you were friends and seniors together in high school, if you knew him to be a decent and honest man, would you want to say something? This is why I need to share what I know.

I was aghast at watching last night's debate. It was a set-up. The moderators, Cruz, and Rubio were all like little alligators trying to take a bite out of Trump. Yes, Donald Trump has had some failures, but he has been exceedingly successful. None of this came out. Instead, there was a general attack. Rubio simply makes up lies. He pretends that Trump has small hands and makes fun of him for something which isn't even real. He pretends that Donald wets his pants, and makes fun of him, as though it was true, and then he calls Donald Trump a "Bully."

I am not suggesting that you should vote or not vote for anyone. I just need to defend a former friend who is being smeared.

Like Donald Trump, I attended New York Military Academy ("NYMA") for high school. In fact, in our senior year, together, Donald was my captain, and I was his 1st Platoon Sergeant. I sometimes joke that I ran his first company for him, Company "A."

People don't really change much from the ages of 17 and 18, and I know this guy. I know him to be a good decent guy. We lived and breathed an Honor Code in those years. It wasn't just a rule. It was our way of life. Neither Donald, nor any other cadet who graduated with us would ever lie, cheat, or steal from a fellow cadet. These values became irreversibly intertwined in the fabric of our personalities, of who we are.

Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump. Think of it. With all the jealousies which arise in high school and thereafter, with all the potential envy, not one of us has anything other than positive memories of this man. How could we? He was an "A" student, a top athlete, and as a leader, he was highly respected. We never feared him, yet we never wanted to disappoint him. He had our respect. He was never a bigot in any way, shape or form. He only hates those who hate. Of course he denounces the KKK.

As to the discussion with the New York Times, it is his choice to release the 'off the record' remarks. However, if he does, it opens the door for all political opposition to make that demand for everyone, and that means that our press will never get those 'off the record' remarks which help them to understand the realities of the campaign. Moreover, the idea that Donald Trump confessed some alternate theory of his position is preposterous. Can anyone believe that all those NY Times reporters are walking around knowing some deep dark nasty secret about a guy who is seeking an endorsement?

The Republican establishment is afraid of Donald Trump. Why? They are afraid that he will lose to Hillary. They don't hate Donald. They hate her. They are so fearful that they fail to see that by expanding the base of voters for Trump, he is more likely to win.

Watching the chorus of whiners, decriers, denigrators, and self-righteous put-down experts from so many directions, from Mit Romney, to Megyn Kelly, Little Mario, it has to make you wonder. Why? Why are so many people so angry with Donald Trump, that they are lying, name calling, ridiculing, and demeaning him as they do. Either they are afraid, or they know him to be evil.

This is why I feel the need to speak out at this time. I know this man. He is a lot of things, but he is not evil. He is a decent honest guy who loves this country, and who is willing to sacrifice so much of what is left of his life, because he knows that this country needs to be fixed, and that it is going to require someone who can do the job. He just doesn't see anything around him other than political hacks, so he is willing to take this huge responsibility.

I'm not saying that he is the only one who can do the job. My point is simply as to his motivation and his goodness.

This next decade is going to be one of major changes. We all see the climate changing, and the world food supply is getting lower. Our fish stock around the world is running low. Oil prices will cause countries to fail. The Middle East is beyond repair, and we have become weak and ineffective around the world. Donald Trump sees the issues and knows that he can assemble leaders who would have the best chance of fixing things. This is why he is running. He does not need it for his own aggrandizement. He doesn't need another big jet or to take up residence in the White House. He just wants things to be fixed, and he knows that the politicians won't fix anything.

I knew Donald Trump and was close to him in our senior year in high school. I just want you to know that there is nothing to fear from him. His character is as good as it gets. He is a patriot, taking on a heroic task, and being thanked by massive abuse.

If you want to see a true reflection of a man, look at his children. Need I say more?

Is Donald Trump really a conservative? Who cares!!

My husband just sent me this, and I'd love to share it with my readers!

Trump may not be a conservative, but I can tell you the people who are definitely not conservative.....it's the Rockefeller/Republican progressive socialist elites posing as conservatives who have been going along to get along since the Wilson presidency.

You know them...they are the folks who sold the conservative base out after we gave them majorities in Congress....Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, McCain, etc. They are the folks who tried to undermine Reagan at every turn. They are the phonies on the radio....Medved and Hewitt specifically. They are the pundits at Fox and the Wall St. Journal..and David Brooks at NYT, Krauthammer at the Wapo

They are the folks who would rather lose and keep their little corner of power as the loyal opposition (which means no opposition to the Dem Socialists).

These elitist clowns cannot be allowed to dictate our candidate to us or lead us around by the nose. We are not liberals. We are the true conservatives.

I'm tired of this nowhere debate about who's a conservative. I don't care anymore. The last debate after Super Tuesday was an embarrassment and a disgrace for Fox and CRuzio

My presidential requirements are few.

1) Kill the Muslims overseas
2) Deport the Muslims who are here.....terminate if necessary
3) Build the wall......Deport the illegals
4) Re-build our military
5) Create a business friendly environment so business can hire again
6) Repeal Obamacare, make the insurance companies compete across state lines
7) Trash the existing trade deals and have business savvy people negotiate them.

That's what Trump said he would do. No one else is saying that. 

I could give a rat's behind about Trump U., or if he had some Polish workers contracted to work on one of his construction sites

Who cares if he's not a "true conservative". And who is the oh so special group of elites that gets to claim the mantel of "true conservative"? Who gave them this royal power? They took it for themselves. In November let's take it back.

Trump 2016.
