MSNBC's Uygur to Okla. Voters: You're a Bunch of Idiots for Passing Anti-Sharia Law
MSNBC apparently doesn't have viewers in Oklahoma. If it does, Cenk Uygur just alienated about 70 percent of them.
At the close of the 3 p.m. EST hour today, the MSNBC substitute anchor mocked the Sooner State for passing into law a constitutional amendment that forbids state courts from using the principles of Islamic sharia law in court proceedings.
The measure, Question 755, also forbids laws from foreign countries from being used by judges to inform their decisions.
[Video posted below page break]
Uygur's complaint was five-fold: 1) It's a silly waste of ink -- no one has tried to use sharia law in Oklahoma courts thus far 2) It's unnecessary -- the U.S. Constitution forbids use of religious law in federal and state court proceedings 3) It's actually unconstitutional 4) The ballot question is predicated on irrational fear and hatred of Islam and finally 5) It's discriminatory against Muslims.
Of course, Uygur may not realize it, but points two and three are contradictory on their face. If sharia law is already unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution, what's the harm of codifying that in a state constitutional specifically?
Uygur failed to explain how an amendment to the state constitution specifically forbidding the enforcement of religious teaching by courtroom fiat transgressed the U.S. Constitution, other than noting that a federal judge has issued a temporary injunction halting enforcement pending a hearing.
As to the fourth point, Uygur may be correct that some Oklahomans who voted in favor of Question 755 did so out of animus against the Muslim faith, but Uygur failed to cite any empirical data to back his offensive claim that the vast majority of Oklahoma voters are Islamophobic or at best thoughtless dupes.
Finally, as regards the fifth point, in fairness to Uygur, perhaps the ballot question could have been written to include ban and all religious legal traditions besides sharia -- such that Orthodox Jewish rabbinical rulings or Catholic canonlaw -- from being enforced by court fiat.
Yet Uygur himself would insist that the vast majority of Oklahoman and American Muslims by and large don't follow or have any use for sharia law:
There's this weird paranoia running through the country that Islam is about to take over. Really?! Are there Muslim hordes at the gates of Tulsa?! This is what happens when people drive a campaign of fear and hatred against an "other."
Look at the mindset: they really believe that Muslims are these evil creatures that kill innocent women and children. I don't know if they know this, but Muslims love their children too.
That being the case, it begs the question where the harm in Question 755 would be.
As I noted in an earlier blog post, there has been at least one case in an American court in which sharia law has been coopted by a judge in a manner detrimental to a defenseless woman:
Does Sharia law allow a husband to rape his wife, even in America? A New Jersey trial judge thought so. In a recently overturned case, a "trial judge found as a fact that defendant committed conduct that constituted a sexual assault" but did not hold the defendant liable because the defendant believed he was exercising his rights over the victim. Fortunately, a New Jersey appellate court reversed the trial judge. But make no mistake about it: this is no isolated incident. We will see more cases here in the United States where others attempt to impose Sharia law, under the guise of First Amendment protections, as a defense against crimes and other civil violations.
In S.D. v. M.J.R., the plaintiff, a Moroccan Muslim woman, lived with her Moroccan Muslim husband in New Jersey. She was repeatedly beaten and raped by her husband over the course of several weeks. While the plaintiff was being treated for her injuries at a hospital, a police detective interviewed her and took photographs of her injuries. Those photographs depicted injuries to plaintiff's breasts, thighs and arm, bruised lips, eyes and right check. Further investigation established there were blood stains on the pillow and sheets of plaintiff's bed.
The wife sought a permanent restraining order, and a New Jersey trial judge held a hearing in order to decide whether to issue the order. Evidence at trial established, among other things, that the husband told his wife, "You must do whatever I tell you to do. I want to hurt your flesh" and "this is according to our religion. You are my wife, I c[an] do anything to you." The police detective testified about her findings, and some of the photographs were entered into evidence.
The defendant's Imam testified that a wife must comply with her husband's sexual demands and he refused to answer whether, under Islamic law, a husband must stop his sexual advances on his wife if she says "no."
The trial judge found that most of the criminal acts were indeed proved, but nonetheless denied the permanent retraining order. This judge held that the defendant could not be held responsible for the violent sexual assaults of his wife because he did not have the specific intent to sexually assault his wife, and because his actions were "consistent with his [religious] practices." In other words, the judge refused to issue the permanent restraining order because under Sharia law, this Muslim husband had a "right" to rape his wife.
Besides the fact that the ruling is wrong as a legal matter, and offensive beyond words, it goes to the heart of the controversy about the insidious spread of Sharia law—the goal of radical Islamic extremists.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law, so they say. Getting there first, even in cultural matters, is an important first step. You hear of places in Europe where there are recommendations to incorporate sharia law. The people of Oklahoma are simply laying down a marker. To call them rubes is just Uygur trying to pander to his audience.

Look at the mindset: they really believe that Muslims are these evil creatures that kill innocent women and children.
Maybe he should have a good look at what Sharia hath wrought in Britain:
in 2008 the UK Independent did a study and found that there were around 17,000 honor attacks on young girls and women a year by Muslims holding up Sharia ideals. This "honor violence" included kidnappings for forced marriages (girls as young as 11), sexual abuse and murder.So, Mr. Uygur, better to say upfront before it even comes up that it ain't gonna fly here.
Oh, and by the way, thanks to Britain's caving to Muslims and letting them have their own courts, they now want Full Sharia Law

It never ceases to amaze me and I do not know why, I should not be, but Liberals can once in a blue moon still shock me with their radicalism. Liberals who love to claim that they are pro-women, feminist stand up for a religion, Islam, which is not only anti-women, but it is mysoginist. It hates women. It believes women are to be treated worst than t hey treat their own animals.
Incredible that Sharia Law has been used in our court rooms in New Jersey to let a man off for raping his wife and idiots like Uygur and individuals like Jer are saying this was overboard. I thought Liberals cared about women?

Once this passed, we knew that the CAIR crowd would immediately seek to block it somehow. Some of us are amazed on just how fast they found the liberal judge (appointed by Clinton!) to grant the injunction.
Also irritating is that the outgoing attorney general is a democrat (being replaced with a republican!) and didn't even bother to file a brief in support of the law, or even show up to the hearing at all.
The muslims and CAIR crowd were calling us the usual bigot/racist/isalmophobic etc weeks before the election happened. Way to destroy whatever goodwill you might have generated.
The leader of the OKC chapter of CAIR, from what I understand, was FLOWN IN to Oklahoma to file the suit. He's not even an Oklahoman!!
Two of our other state questions are about to be challenged. The decision to use English in official government business, and the requirement to show an ID when voting.
It gets pretty frustrating when you follow the process, only to see the progressives/liberals undo everything you do with a friendly judge and/or government official.
If this thing actually goes to trial, it will be interesting to see the CAIR crowd try and whitewash what sharia law actually is.

Overboard? only you Jer would claim that stopping Sharia Law from entering our court systems is overboard.
why do Liberals love to defend Islam? why is it that when it comes to a huge and bright spot light on Islam, on sharia law, Liberals run to defend Islam? why Jer?
Oh, wait, you are going to say I am claiming things about you that are not true, right?
Maybe if you would have stopped at vague, but when you added overboard that is when it is clear as day that you are defending the indefensible.
This forum clearly points out two incidents where American judges used religious beliefs/Sharia Law to claim that a Muslim was not responsible for his horrific crimes and you claim that it is overboard for voters to vote on something that will assure us that Sharia Law will never be used in our courts?
Why do Liberals, who claim with all of their heart and mind to be pro-women stand up, defend a religion, Islam, that is not only anti-women, but it is through and through misogynists?
I guess for Liberals rape is wrong, evil, etc, unless of course it is committed as Sharia Law dictates. wow!
while 99% of the time I am no longer shocked by how twisted the logic of Liberals is and how true hypocrites a lot of them are, this type of stuff still amazes me.
Rape Jer is wrong, 100% wrong and it should NEVER be justified under ANY religion. Any religion which today still justifies rape is evil and as such it should NEVER be used in our court system to justify a man rapping his wife. You, as a lawyer, should be applauding this, but don't worry, I've worked with lawyers. Sadly, they are some of THE most morally corrupt individuals in our society. Not all, but most of them. I know some fine, upstanding lawyers, but they are in the minority. Sadly, you seem to fall in the category of the former.
How dare you say that this is overboard? How dare you sir?! How dare you claim that protecting our courts from Sharia Law is overboard? Why don't you take your wife and daughter and have them live under sharia law for 1 week and then come back and tell us it is overboard? How dare you?!
When will Liberals start standing up for Muslim women who are gravely suffering under honor killings, genetilia mutilation, rape, force marriages all done in the name of Islam? When will Liberals stand up for Muslim women who are considered to be worth 5 camels in Sharia Law? when Jer, WHEN?! When will Liberals stand up for Muslim women who can't go out without a male escort?! Can't date anyone who is not approved by all the males of the family? when Jer? When will your Liberal kind stand up for women?

gfrrman, this is from one
Submitted by Liberallies on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 3:19am.
this is from one of radical Left winger Jer's links
ï The Court concluded that the Ordinances' intention was not sincere because the laws were overbroad. That is, they outlawed far more about Santería practices than was absolutely necessary to prevent the alleged cruelty to animals and harm to the public.
Hmmmmm... I ask Jer, did the initiative demand that Sharia Law be completly outlawed go too far? Did the Oklahoma initiative outlaw far more about Sharia Law than is absolutely necessary to prevent the cruelties to women and other human beings?
what part of Sharia Law should our Justice system take into account, Jer?
Jer was much better off when I had misread his overBROAD word as overBOARD. LOL He is telling us that banning all of Sharia Law is a bad thing. This man is a true Left wing radical.
It looks like Jer is not only a radical, but it looks like he is also a bad lawyer and a Sharia Law sympathizer.

Liberallies and gfrrman look really stupid
Submitted by Denny Crane on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 6:23am.
You both misread a simple post. You went off for hours on long rants all because YOU misread what he wrote. Even when you finally realized that you were the ones wrong, you still kept ranting and ranting and ranting. Why? Because he is a liberal?
Overbroad means VAGUE.
Overboard means TOO MUCH.
Jer was responding to the statement "NO federal judge has the lawful ability to nulify or stay a Constitutional amendment of any State."
He responded with "Of course they do, assuming a federal law or Constitutional issue is involved. And, for the record, the amendment in question reads like it was written by a ten year old. It's embarrassing, not to mention vague, overbroad and virtually unintelligible."
written by a ten year old ...... embarrassing..... vague.....virtually unintelligible.
His entire post was saying it was poorly written, that's all.
You assumed just because he is a liberal that he is defending sharia. When called on it you still went on rant after rant after rant. When you finally realized you made a mistake you still went on rant after rant after rant. You seem to have Ranting On Liberal Derangement Syndrome. ROLDS. And seriously you look like an A$$.
No where did Jer in anyway defend Islam or sharia.
I can't understand how someone can go off for so long over their OWN MISTAKE.

The only one looking stupid and as a useful idiot is Denny Crane
Submitted by Liberallies on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 11:46am.
Mr. Denny Crane,
I do not know you. I could careless who you are, but let us get something straight.
1) the only one looking stupid here is you. Our resident Liberal radical was off his meds last night. The man spends way, way too much on NB and claims to be a lawyer. He is neither rational nor intelligent. He is constantly spewing Left wing propaganda.
2) Why are you doing Jer's bidding? I saw how he begged you, enlisted you to come and help him on this thread because he considered you intelligent. Are you serious? is this how weak minded you are? Something tells me that Mr. Denny Crane may have two personalities, but I'll check on that before I make it official. But nice to see how easy a Liberal can twist a Conservatives mind, weak Denny Crane, weak.
3) I more than acknowledge my mistake once I realize it. However, as I stated, every single one of my posts to him stand, all he needs to do is replace the word overBOARD with overBROAD.
Radical Left wing nut Jer was crying about me misreading his post. He then turns around and does EXACTLY the same thing he is accusing me off. He misread my post and claimed I said something I never said. I was man enough to apologize, Jer doesn't have the intellectual honesty to also apologize. Nice to see that you, Denny Crane, defend an intellectual dishonest Liberal.
4) Maybe you can explain to us, how the law is vague? How the initiative, which clearly and SPECIFICALLY says that it will ban Sharia Law vague, overbroad? If the law was overbroad, as our resident radical Liberal Jer claims, why does it specifically and clearly state that Sharia Law will be banned? Using Jer's overbroad term in the legal sense, he is claiming that banning Sharia law is too vague that only specific parts of Sharia Law should be banned. Thus it is more than fair to ask this radical left wing nut, Jer, which parts of Sharia Law should be allowed in our justice system and which ones shouldn't since according to him Question 755 is overbroad.
Question 755 read in part, "This measure amends the State Constitution. It changes a section that deals with the courts of this state. It would amend Article 7, Section 1. It makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using Sharia Law."
so, tell us, since Jer is an intellectual midgent and dishonest, what part of "...it forbids courts from cconsidering or using Sharia Law." do you and your Master Jer consider overbroad and vague? LOL
5) This is not the first time that radical left wing Jer comes running to defend Islam, Muslims, Sharia Law for its radicalism. Every time questions are posed to him that by answering he will show he stands against the radicalism of Islam, the poor kid plays the victimhood card. This time he went a step farther and went crying to an easily manipualted Conservative to come to his aid. LOL

WOW!!!! really?! Not only are you weak and easily manipuated by a radical Left wing nut, now you are also a liar. Seriously, Denny Crane? Don't forget that he also said, among other things, that the law is overBROAD! hahaha!!!! Care to keep your claim that he ONLY thing Jer said was the law was poorly written? He also said it was vague. You may want to read the garbage Jer writes before you jump to the defense of this radical Left winger. LOL
By saying that the law is overBROAD it directly implies that not all of Sharia Law should be banned, but individual and specific parts of Sharia Law. Sorry, whether he did it on purpose or not, he defend Sharia Law. So, I ask again, what part of Sharia Law should be banned, if not all of it, Denny Crane or should we say Penny Lane?
Get to know the meaning of the word overBROAD in legal jargon before you start talking about what you clearly know nothing about.
Weak, Jer, I mean Penny Lane, I mean Denny Crane, EXTREMELY and utterly weak on your part.
You, Jer, Denny Crane, or what ever other name you are attempting to go buy..... has proven to be a radical Left wing nut who attempts to come across as a moderate and you have clearly fallen for his constant victimhood card which he loves to play when his radical words pin him against the wall. Every time that I ask him direct and specific question, he weasels out of them by claiming that he is being attacked.

Denny Crane, I am giving
Submitted by Liberallies on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 4:12am.
Denny Crane,
I am giving you a chance to get out of the hole you are quickly digging yourself in, but you aren't taking the bait friend.
1) Jer said that the law was a lot more than just vague. He said it was "…embarrassing, not to mention vague, overbroad and virtually unintelligible."
2) Are you sure you want to stick with your "…ONLY thing he said is that the law is vague…"??
3) Don't be so proud, just admit you made a mistake and that you are defending a radical Left wing nut.
4) I am not insulting you, Denny Crane, I am pointing out to the obvious. Either you are lying with you claim that the only thing Jer said is that the law is vague or you misread, like I did, what he considers the law to be.
5) Once again, by claiming that the law is overbroad, he implies and you by defending him now, also imply, that not all of Sharia Law should be banned from being used in our justice system. His overbroad claim points to the fact that he wants specific parts of Sharia Law to be banned, not all of it. Thus, the obvious question for you and him to answer is, what specific part, so it is not vague as Jer claimed, should be banned?
6) Why would anyone claim that a law that CLEARLY AND SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT ANY VAGUENESS, states that SHARIA LAW IS NEVER TO BE USED IN AMERICAN COURT SYSTEMS claim that the law is overbroad and vague? Easy to make a statement when he doesn't defend it and then he has the backing of an easily manipulated Conservative when he is asked to defend his statement.
7) Jer also claimed, in our exchange here, that I said things that I never said. You were quick to defend Jer, but have not once asked Jer to apologize like you asked me to. Hmmmm….and you aren't taking sides? You also came in here insulting me and calling me names. You called me stupid, now you are crying over me calling you a name? BWAHAHAHA!!! Seriously? LOL
8) Once again, I urge you to get to know the meaning of the word overbroad in legal jargon before you keep on defending Jer's radical statement. You are clueless here and driving blind. You and Jer? The blind leading the blind. LOL
9) Jer unintentionally put up a link to a case that clearly shows how the word overbroad is used in our court system. I urge you to do further research before you keep on digging yourself in a hole. And before you cry about me insulting you, look at the title of your first post directed at me. But typical of those who know little about what they are talkign about, they can dish it out, by cry when their medicine is given to them.

You are seeing more than is there.

1. yes that is exactly what he said. Your first 3 rants were because you misread what he said.
3. I am proudly admitting that I am defending Jer in this instance. Because you ranted against him for saying something he never said.
4. You insulted me by calling me a Liar.
5. Don't see it. I agree with the law, I think sharia should be banned. All I saw was him describing it as not being written clearly, that is his opinion as a lawyer. He never said he disagreed with it's intent.
6. I don't know, maybe if you asked Jer to explain what he said without a 600 word rant, he might explain what he meant.
7. Just read back through the thread, Jer never said you said anything. I never asked you to apologize. I never called you stupid, I said you look stupid, and you seem to have ranting on liberal derangement syndrome. And I explained why.

Denny Crane,
1) You read back through the thread and don't see Jer claiming that I said something I never said? Go back and reread the thread. He said that I claimed he was morally corrupt lawyer. I NEVER said that, I said it seemed like he was a morally corrupt. I actually explained to him, after he also claimed that I respected "morally corrupt" lawyers, how I respect all human beings, but not their sins and how I never said he was morally corrupt. LOL
Once again, both you and him are crying over me going after Jer for something he never said and both of you are doing the same to me. LOL Can we all say you two are a pair of hypocrites? YES WE CAN!! :-)
At least have the decency to admit when you are wrong and being a hypocrite.
2) Sorry Denny Crane, you lied, 100% lied, when you claimed and clearly wrote that the ONLY thing that Jer said was that the law was vague. You clearly lied. Once again, be man enough to admit that you were wrong and that you lied.
It is a lie to say that the ONLY thing that Jer said was that the law was vague. Now you have lied to me twice. In my book, Conservative or Liberal, that makes you a huge liar. Don't like it, stop lying, liar.
3) I learned a long time ago with Jer that he is your typical Liberal weasel that when he is asked to explain the radical and outrageous stuff that he writes, he slimes out of answering a direct question by claiming the victimhood card. I am unsure why now I would waste my time, as I did a few times in the past, by asking this radical Left wing nut to explain himself.
He, like so many radical Left wing nuts, believes that his opinions are facts that can stand on their own because he believes them.
4) As I said, he was better off when i had misread his overBROAD as over BOARD. Saying that the law is overBROAD means that he doesn't want the whole law to be banned, but specific parts. As I said, you keep on digging yourself in a hole and you are too ignorant on this matter to know how ignorant you are coming across.
5) You've taken a stand based on Jer beggin you to come in here and defend him . How easily you have been manipualated. You can repeat all you want that I am going after Jer because of Liberal Deragement Syndrome. LOL Once again, you attack me, like saying that I look stupid, but then cry when I return the favor. :-)
let me know what the hypocrite you see in the mirror tells you when you inform him he is a hypocrite.
6) Once again, you are CLUELESS as to how the courts in the USA use the word overBROAD. Jer, as a lawyer, (if he is one) chose this word for a reason. This is a very precise word to use in our justice system, by a lawyer or judge. By using this word, my poorly informed one, Jer clearly feels that banning all of Sharia Law is vague, an overeach, an overeaction. He wants specific parts of the law banned from our Justice System, not all of it. Do yourself a favor, do what first year law students quickly learn to do and read up on the countless of cases which use the word overBROAD. LOL Oh yeah, I know....it is easier for the lazy minds that are too proud to admit they screwed up royaly to say, "...whatever..."
7) You and Jer, the blind leading the blind.
Keep it coming, it is fun to see you digging yourself in a deep, deep hole. I gave you the chance to get out of it, but you just kept on digging and digging.

Using your reasoning, I could call you a liar too. But I won't.
Since you are so obsessed with splitting hairs, I will give you that it wasn't the ONLY thing he said. But your rants were over him using the word overboard which he didn't use. Then when you realized your mistake, you were too hardheaded to objectively look at what he wrote, and continued to rant. Once again, the intent of his statement was to say the amendment was poorly written, not that it was a bad idea.
I would be amazed if he would try to explain his opinions to you since no matter what he says, you would go off on a tirade.

The initiative is OVErBROAD?! It specifically states that it wants to ban Sharia Law?! BWHAHAHAHA! How specific do you want it, Jer? WOW!!!
Every single point that I made stands, just replaced the word overboard with overbroad.....There was NOTHING overbroad about attempting to stop our courts from using Sharia Law, which the ballot specificially states. NOTHING overbroad about stoping a religious set of laws which allow men to get away with rape!
My questions to you still stand, every single one of them. When will Liberals stand for women other than standing up for their "right" to murder a baby in the womb of a women?
Please someonoe assist poor Jer in reading the initiative for him. The ballot initiative was not overbroad and someone help poor Jer read where I said that it SEEMS like he is the latter, NOT that I know he is 100% a corrupt lawyer. HAHAHA!!!
Like I said, every single point of mine stands whether it was overboard, which it was not or overbroad, which you did say.

By using the word overBROAD and so vehemently forcing me to see it, he clearly is telling us that he believes that there are certain parts of Sharia Law which he would gladly embrace and have our court system embrace. He simply doesn't want all of sharia law to be banned, he wants us to be specific.

Cenk needs to read "The Virginian" and smile when he calls Okies stupid. In the words of that famous TV "star," Joy Behar, "come to (Oklahoma) and say that, bitch!"

Submitted by goldbough on Tue, 11/09/2010 - 8:45pm.
His arguments are terrible.1) It's a silly waste of ink -- no one has tried to use sharia law in Oklahoma courts thus far Now we're wasting ink? The government wastes infinitely more than that in a few days. They're being proactive because they see it coming. 2) It's unnecessary -- the U.S. Constitution forbids use of religious law in federal and state court proceedings Just because the Constitution forbids something doesn't mean our current leaders will abide by it. 3) It's actually unconstitutional Since when has "unconstitutional" meant anything to liberals except when it benefits them? 4) The ballot question is predicated on irrational fear and hatred of Islam Irrational fear of bombings and plane hijackings? 5) It's discriminatory against Muslims How? They live in the USA and should abide by our laws. Why should we cater to them? If I go to Iran, shouldn't I expect to be under their laws? People don't carry their country's laws with them wherever they go.

He's strictly stream of consciousness. His examples don't often fit the cases he tries to apply them to. He'll cite somebody's words and then take tremendous liberty with "what they mean". He's a blathering head for the "right side".
Having seen him on Youtube, I couldn't imagine him being recruited for cable. But then again, there's that diversity that he provides, is not much signal or light.

Submitted by Francisco on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 3:34am.
One of the things i normally appreciate in conservatives is that they tend to tell it like it is, PCness be damned... So i find it a bit cringe-inducing to see otherwise smart people deny with a straight face that this initiative is anything but a "referendum" on Islam. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it is... This law is the equivalent of a ballot initiative to ban murder by stoning... Whatever commendable purpose it might serve, it is not a legal purpose..
[Edit: just to be clear on my personal position, if i was an voter in that state I would have voted "yes" as many times as ACORN would allow]

Since when is ban[ning] murder by stoning NOT a legal purpose?
And WHO, pray tell, is claiming that this initiative is NOT a referendum on Islam?
Liberals are the ones pretending. They pretend that you can have Islam without all that messy wife beating and honor killing stuff.

I think you misunderstood
Submitted by Francisco on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 11:02am.
I think you misunderstood me...
Imagine that a ballot initiative was held that banned specifically "murder by stoning"... Since "murder" as a whole is already (extremely) illegal, such an initiative, if ever made law, would, on account of it' redundancy, serve absolutely no useful legal purpose, even if no one could argue with the moral righteousness of such a law.. that was the point i was trying to make.
Since sharia is, in principle, already illegal by virtue of the constitution (and most definitely other statutes, specially if it involves niceties like rape and murder), this particular law is redundant. As far as i can gather it seemed to serve only a political purpose (a "referendum" of sorts)...
As for the second point, in the original post, when Uygur states that the vote was motivated by "animus against the muslim faith" the author seemed faux-outraged at this "offensive claim", when it seems obvious to me (and apparently to you too) that that was precisely the motivation behind this initiative. "animus" does not have to mean "hatred" but it does entail disapproval... That was why i commented that this seemed out of character for a conservative .. It goes without saying that I think liberals tend to be more disingenuous with these things and you can easily infer that from my comment...

I'm One Of Them There Dumber Than Dirters

Yeah, I'm a Oklahomie and I'm proud of it. Yeah, I'm one of the uninformed rubes who are scared to go out at night, afraid of Uri hiding around the corner, and voted for this amendment. With the examples given above from South Dakota and New Jersey, it seems that, contray to arguments otherwise, an amendment of this type is needed. Nevertheless, it seems the court will once again intervene against the will of the people.
Enough about that, what gets in my crawl, as a Okie, is the perception that we are all ignorant jackals clinging to our Bibles and guns, that we are backward hicks that come out from under our rock every two years and vote, and vote uninformed. Mr. Uygur and his pals might be surprised that we actually have indoor plumbing and the Natives don't live in Tepees. If Mr. Uygur would actually visit this great state he would notice how diverse we are as a population, a population that happens to be vastly conservative, hence why he and his hate us so. Mr. Uygur would find if he came to my place of employment that we have a high percentage of Muslim working here from countries around the globe, we work closely together and peacefully together, by golly, we are actually friends even though I'm a Christian. I could also go on and on about how us stupid Okies are leaders in medical research, have a Oklahoma Space Authority which operates a space port for aerospace r&d, and on and on.
But what do I know, I'm just a hick from the sticks.

In 1998, CAIR denied bin Laden's responsibility for the two al Qaeda bombings of American embassies in Africa. According to Ibrahim Hooper, the bombings resulted from "misunderstandings of both."

Hate To Break It To You, But Medved Says It's Unconstitutional
Submitted by TheReal7Sticks on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 7:03pm.
First of all, a little correction to your statement here: "Of course, Uygur may not realize it, but points two and three are contradictory on their face. If sharia law is already unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution, what's the harm of codifying that in a state constitutional specifically?

Well, first of all, ever heard of the 14th amendment? You know, that law that establishes that states as well as as Congress can not make a law respecting nor denying a religion? Pretty inconvenient little truth for you to handler, ain't it.
Michael Medved says it best that if two devout Muslims entered into a contract that would wish for to be examined by Sharia law, that would be unconstitutional. How would you feel if I were behind a law that I'd hypothetically submit that forbade practicing Catholics from using the catechism of the Catholic Church to back up a contract in a court? Well, as much as I wish I could, I can't because it would be in violation of the first and 14th amendments.
Damn, that Constitution can sure be inconvenient sometimes, can't it? >_<'

Hills. What can I say? I hate hills. I love hills! I used to avoid them like an ex I didn't want to run into. Now, I seek them out-I plan my cycling route around which ones I want to climb.
Before I started commuting by bike, I could barely climb the shortest hill on my way to the gym. I was so out of breath midway that I almost thought about getting off the bike and walking. What kept me on the bike was knowing that, most likely, my co-workers would ride by and see me. That would be humiliating! So, I struggled on, out of breath and in the wrong gear. (Did I mention I used to suck at changing gears?)
Well, all that has changed now. The best way to get better at cycling is to do it every day. Now I switch gears smoothly at the right time and I'm tackling steeper and longer hills.
One of the hills I feared was on the way back from my local library. When I mentioned this to a friend who has been cycling around town for years she said, "There's a hill there?" Did I mention I just started cycling regularly this spring? True, I was already working out at the gym, swimming, and doing some running, but I discovered that being fit doesn't automatically make you a good cyclist.
Getting to the library is easy. It's all downhill. It was the return that concerned me. One night I felt like going for a ride and then watching a movie, and the library has some interesting movies you can't find at the local video store. I felt good, and the weather was nice. I got on my bike and went. On my way downhill to the library, I planned on a side street that was going to be my way out on the return trip if I couldn't make it up the hill. As I rode past it, much to my chagrin, the side street was shut down-it had just been paved. The fresh tar looked sticky and black. The sidewalks alongside it showed freshly poured concrete with blockades across them. No way I could ride on that.
As I left the library, I looked at the road ahead and thought, "I'm just going to do it." In the end all my anxiety was for nothing. I rode up the hill smoothly and didn't feel a thing. I wasn't even breathing heavy.
Last night I made another trip to the library. When I got home I thought to myself, "What hill?"

Ocala Business Park plans unveiled
In October, officials of Ocala, Fla., unveiled plans for the Ocala Business Park at Ocala International Airport/Jim Taylor Field. The 1,300-acre airport, relocated to its present location from downtown Ocala in the 1960s, was established with 600 acres set aside for future development of a business park, and municipal leaders say the future is now. The city has been improving the access roads and other infrastructure at the airport, and a control tower is expected to be commissioned at the non-tower field by the beginning of next year. The airport has been declared an Enterprise Zone, one of the few in the state located at an airport, and rent subsidies and grants are available to businesses that set up shop at the airport.
Also, businesses building there are exempt from the impact study process, which
can require a year and cost as much as $1 million, according to Ocala officials.
Ocala Business Park includes 121 acres of mixed-use commercial land, 444 acres of distribution-industrial land and 113 acres of flexible space that can be used for expansion of aviation operations or aviation- dependent businesses. To accommodate its growth, the city wants to lengthen the primary 7,400-foot runway to 8,400 feet, though that's at least five years away.
But Ocala is taking a long-term view and estimates that over the next 25 years the airport could grow to provide 4,000 jobs.

Hatsu Hioki is regarded by many as the last Japanese representative that could potentially make waves in the United States mixed martial arts scene. In Japan, he found success in every organization that he fought in, from his victory over Jeff Curran in Pride to his TKO win over Rumina Sato in Shooto. He even crossed the Pacific to defeat Mark Hominick twice in TKO. His rise to fame began in World Victory Road in 2009 as entrant in the Featherweight tournament. Other names included UFC featherweights Nam Phan, Chan Sung Jung, and Michihiro Omigawa as well as Marlon Sandro and Masanori Kanehara.
Hioki is currently the number two featherweight in the world according to the USA Today / MMA Nation consensus rankings and is viewed by many as one of the few men at the weight class that could truly test Jose Aldo. He fights George Roop on Saturday and is possibly one win away from a title shot. The question however is can Hioki find success in the United States when his fellow countrymen have failed miserably?
Michihiro Omigawa's signing was met with much excitement. Omigawa had finally found himself at the featherweight division after years as the fodder at lightweight. He was no longer outsized by bigger fighters after adopting weight cutting practices and developed his boxing to compliment his judo. Unfortunately, his return to the UFC was unsuccessful and he was soundly defeated by Chad Mendes. He dropped his next fight against Darren Elkins, despite the fact that many felt he did enough to win. He's now 0-4 in the UFC.
Norifumi Yamamoto was at one time viewed as the top lighter weight fighter in the world. A dream match was often discussed between matching him up with Urijah Faber. He made his UFC debut at UFC 126 against Demetrious Johnson. Yamamoto has always been known for his wrestling, even attempting to make the Japanese Olympic team. Johnson not only beat him on the feet, but was able to take him down at will and keep him on the ground. For Yamamoto it may just be a case of too many outside distractions that have caused his decline and could be the reason that he's gone 1-3 in his last four fights. Injuries have kept him sidelined and he's expected to fight a virtually unknown Darren Uyenoyama at UFC on Fox.
Takanori Gomi was once considered the very best lightweight fighter in Japan. He ruled Pride with his knockout power and his incredibly underrated wrestling. Like Yamamoto he had a decline before making his stateside debut, but since joining the UFC ranks, he's going 1-3. He's lost all three times by submission and has shown up in incredibly bad shape. His sole win was against Tyson Griffin who has recreated himself at 145. Fans and media are wondering why the UFC is keeping Gomi around and it is quite possible that he's only being used to legitimize the rumored UFC Japan card. He doesn't add anything to the division and isn't much of a challenger for anyone else at 155.
And then there is Yoshihiro Akiyama. Before his signing, Dana White was tweeting about how he signed the man to challenge Anderson Silva. Fans bought into his hype and believed that Akiyama would return to save us from the Spider's reign of dominance. Instead he fought a totally uninspired fight against Alan Belcher, one that I still believe the Talent won. After that win, he's gone on a three fight losing streak. First he was triangle choked and forced to tap by Chris Leben, then he was jabbed for 15 minutes by Michael Bisping, and most recently he was knocked out for the second time in his career by Vitor Belfort. Akiyama, like Gomi is most likely being kept around for the Japanese card, but he hasn't given fans and media any reason to believe that he can hang with the best of the division.
Ignoring the limited success non Japanese fighters were competed overseas have had in the UFC, it is a fair question to ask with regards to Hatsu Hioki. Japanese MMA Fans are counting on him to prove that the country is still relevant in some capacity to the overall MMA scene. Fans are overlooking his first test in George Roop, possibly because he still carries the The Ultimate Fighter tagline with him. Roop has made vast improvements since his time on the reality show and is one of the few contestants from his season still under UFC contract. Roop became the very first man to knockout Chan Sung Jung as well as stopping Josh Grispi with a body punch.
It is safe to assume that Hioki is unlike his peers and isn't vastly overrated by fans and media. He possesses legitimate skills and is a real test for anyone that is matched up against him. The fear is that he'll become just another Japanese MMA fighter who washed out of the UFC. He was impressive in Sengoku but how good was his competition. Kanehara was extremely overrated and Marlon Sandro was just knocked out by Pat Curran in Bellator. Hioki has the opportunity to do what only Yushin Okami has done before him. He has the chance to be the man to prove that Japanese Mixed Martial Arts is still relevant. He just needs to adopt American practices.

Next Game
I wanted to incorporate elephants into my lede today, but couldn't figure out how. So I decided to make an acrostic poem about the Senators with the word itself:
- E-rik Karlsson
- L-ikes
- E-arning
- P-oints
- H-e'll need
- A-bout
- N-ine
- T-o help the Sens win tonight
Some players I'll be watching tonight:
- Alex Ovechkin: There isn't a game against the Capitals where you won't be watching the Great Eight. He's having an off-season, but he's still a damn good player.
- Brian Elliott: Dude is s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g. He really needs to get things going soon, because Robin Lehner is nipping at his heels.
- Nick Foligno: With 3P (2G, 1A) in the last two games, Foligno's solid second-quarter play has continued. The Senators are hoping things keep going.
- Milan Michalek: Another guy with 3P in 2GP, and last game he finally hit the ten-goal mark. He looks like his speed has come back, which makes him an actual scoring threat.
- Chris Campoli: Not happy after being scratched on a couple consecutive game nights, how will Campoli respond?

Animated Spellbook 30 32
Fun!! The was a fun and perfect addition to our "Mad Scientist"/potions lab we set up on our porch for Halloween! I wouldn't have paid full price, as it is cheap plastic, but it was worth it at the sale price. My 6-year-old son and I were very excited to add it to our table and very pleased with it. Yes, it is loud, as others commented, but an easy fix with some tape (we used electrical tape). I wasn't impressed with it's plasticy look but I was expecting that from previous reviews. But we really liked how the book opens itself by motion and/or sound activation. And the witchy-spooky voice was great. Next year - if I'm adventurous enough - I might cover it with something more leather looking and create my own parchment pages inside. But I am happy with its overall function and will be keeping it! Super fun!! Each Halloween I get tons of compliments on our porch decorations, and it's thanks to Grandin Road. I look forward to their Halloween Haven catalog each year and they never disappoint. This was another great addition to our collection. Thanks again! Happy Halloween!! October 31, 2013
Animated Spellbook Yes, it's cheap looking (heavy plastic) and YES IT IS LOUD (no volume control)...BUT THE KIDS LOVE IT..... June 13, 2014
Cheaply Made I ordered this spell book to add to my witch themed entry side board. I am returning it. It is cheap looking and while functions as advertised it is very very loud with no volume control. Also it only speaks one phrase which gets rather annoying. I only had it out for 10 minutes and was already done hearing it and was regretting purchasing it at all. It has summarily been boxed and sent back. August 24, 2012
disappointing Was so excited when I found this but when it arrived was very disappointed. Bought 2 one for me one for gift and not sure if I will gtive it. Almost returned it. Very fake, plastic looking August 29, 2012
soso I love the book and how it works but sometimes it does not shut off, so have to work the switch a couple times. September 19, 2012
Good for what it is I liked the spell book even though it looks fairly cheap. It is too loud for something used inside, however, used in tandem with the pumpkin face replica, it makes a great entrance to our organization's haunted house. The spell book will be far enough away so the cheap plastic will not be a distraction and the fact that it is loud and repetitive is a plus in this situation. November 17, 2013
This is a must have I was really attracted to this particular Halloween prop. I thought the book was really cool because of so many TV shows now that refer to a book that has magical spells in it. This certainly does not disappoint. It's rather quite large but it's really cool as the book opens by itself. I have never seen anything like this before so I had to get it. Don't hesitate....really enhances any display. October 31, 2013
Great Addition The spellbook was a great addition to the witches' exhibit in our garage. Many trick-or-treaters were amazed that the spellbook opened and talked. December 11, 2013

What to say to that craziness that was #elxn41? I'm torn between quipping about Jack Layton's menagerie of completely inexperienced MPs, including a woman who went on vacation and never canvassed, and genuinely wringing my hands about what we're in for in the next four years.
Layton should be thrilled with his 102 seats, but the $ per seat money may be more of a boon than being the leader of the opposition in a majority government, since he effectively has LESS power in this situation. Plus, those votes in Quebec weren't FOR the NDP, necessarily. The people were speaking to Gilles Duceppe, just as sure as they were speaking to Iggy. Quebec nationalism isn't dead.
Neither is the Liberal Party. It was amazing how fast Twitterverse went to speculation on the "Democratic Liberal Party". Maybe merging the Left is the right idea in terms of reducing the detrimental effects of vote-splitting. On pure percentages, the two parties together were 49% of the popular vote to the Conservatives' 39.62%. Of course, with first past the post, they still would have been lacking #seats.
What the Liberal Party should not do is jump quickly. Ironic that Iggy was his warmest when he was graciously resigning – where the hell was this guy for the last parliament and the whole election? Apparently he hopes the next Liberal leader is young and female. I'll be happy with good, which we haven't had in a while. And as long as it's not Justin flippin' Trudeau, who couldn't find "genuine" in the dictionary under "G". The Party needs new leadership, should never have gone with Michael Ignatieff in the first place, but this is quite a hard lesson to learn.
What's to fear in the Harper government? More funding cuts to women's groups, the demise of the CBC, undercutting healthcare and healthcare transfers to the provinces, no public funding for political parties (after he gets his share from THIS election and simultaneously screws the LPC one more time), corporate tax cuts, no more long gun registry, and a continued gag on his own party and on the media, as best he can.
What is scariest, maybe, is the fact that my fellow Canadians voted for a man who believes bullying is a good way to lead, for a Party that was in contempt of parliament, and who launched vicious attack ads, and who have, on numerous occasions, diverted funds for their own purposes. I don't understand their thinking, and perhaps that's the most depressing fact of all.

New polish looks to lotus flower for inspiration
HACKENSACK, NJ — Nanotech WOW!, a polishing product released here by Helmar Distributors, uses the "Lotus Effect" to protect a variety of vehicle finishes, according to a press release.
The July 21 release stated that lotus flowers were observed because they have very high water repellence in their leaves. This "Lotus Effect" is a physical-chemical phenomenon that can be emulated using physical-chemical variables.
Small nano particles, or polymers, are used in car and boat polishes and waxes today. The nano particles are so fine they bond to and penetrate any surface like no other products on the market. WOW! uses this technology to provide surface protection in an environmentally friendly way.
Nanotech WOW! can be used on cars, jet boats, jet skis and snowmobiles. The release noted that the product makes maintenance easier by sealing the surface and creating an invisible protective barrier that does not wear off.
WOW! also provides UV protection and reduces friction for better mileage and less drag.

Immediately following the 22nd February aftershock we sought assistance from our International Group and we have adjusters from Australia, South Africa, Canada, USA and the UK in New Zealand working on claims. Last week the profile of our commitment to the earthquake looked like this:
We are contacting all new claimants on receiving their claim.
We have received over 12,000 claims from the Earthquakes - many of these with multiple locations. Reserves on these claims exceed $3 billion.
The issues surrounding these events are starting to emerge. I attach another Technical Bulletin addressing the implications of the future Building Code changes - thanks to Leon Briggs for taking the time to put this together.

Like most claims people in the Industry our people are stretched well beyond their comfort zones and are very tired after 7 months of continuous pressure. I am glad to see that some of our team are taking some time off over the Easter period.
Our team have extended themselves magnificently - and I am proud of them - but concerned about the loads that they are carrying.
This is a time for all within the insurance industry to be patient and extra tolerant of each other!
Thank you for your support during these demanding times.

Junior forward Brad Garete earned the Ludlow hockey team a 3-3 tie with Wahconah Regional on Saturday when he converted on a third-period penalty shot.
The Lions had trailed 2-0 entering the third but scored three times in the final frame to salvage a point, killing off two 5-on-3 advantages for the Warriors late in the game.
Garete recorded another goal in addition to his penalty shot, and Jeff Hancock scored twice for Wahconah.
Ludlow outshot Wahconah, 40-18, but Nico Romano was strong in net for the Warriors, stopping 37 shots.
