The Fifth Avenue Synagogue in New York City lies just a few miles north of the Manhattan Supreme Court, where Revlon chief Ron Perelman's child custody fight with third wife Patricia Duff has been dragging on for months. But it seemed a world away for the beaming billionaire when he married wife No. 4, actress Ellen Barkin, in a traditional Jewish ceremony on June 28. "They love each other very much," says Barkin's mother, Evelyn. "And they're very happy together."
That much was evident an hour and a half after the ceremony, when the 46-year-old bride, wearing a floral-patterned cream suit, emerged from a black Mercedes, hand in hand with her new husband for a private banquet at one of Perelman's favorite restaurants, Le Cirque 2000. Inside, some 45 guests—including director Penny Marshall; Trudie Styler (husband Sting was performing in Hartford, Conn.); Perelman's six children from his previous marriages; Barkin's first husband, Gabriel Byrne; and their two children, Romy, 7, and Jack, 10—dined on Chilean sea bass washed down with 1993 Cristal champagne, topped off with a three-tiered wedding cake decorated with fresh lavender. Dressed in pink, Perelman's youngest daughters Samantha, 10, and Caleigh (the subject of the custody battle), 5, toasted their dad. But the speech that scored most laughs came from a pal, who declared, "I think this one will last." Replied the groom: "I absolutely agree."

maritzamon This was my first hostel experience and I must say, it was fantastic. From Scott, the manager, helping me ice my ankle when I hurt it, to Nikita, one of the employees, sprinting to the train station to bring me the camera I had left there, the people here were nothing short of amazing. I would recommend it to everyone and would visit again if and when I return to Moscow!

D Marshall I'm not one to give credit where it's not due. I have never seen a hostel so clean and staff so friendly! The Hostel itself is situated on a road parallel to the main touristy street, which was always handy if you were lost or directing a taxi. The metro station is at the intersection of 4 lines and therefore probably the most useful. It takes 5 mins to walk to a supermarket, where i got all i needed, and 10-15 mins down a single road to get to the front door of the Kremlin. All in all, the location of the hostel is second to none! The facilities were great too. The bathrooms were very impressive and completely unexpected, as was the living room and the modern kitchen. The rooms were as expected (but by no means bad). There were 2 computers available for use and free wifi. There was always someone present on reception 24hrs a day, which was a nice feature, as I came from the airport pretty late. The only thing with this hostel is that you have to pay for these features. However, the price is justified by how impressive this hostel is! I would totally recommend this place to anyone staying in Moscow, I literally had the best week of my life there and made loads of friends, not only with the other travellers, but also the staff! Keep up the good work HM, see you next time I'm in Moscow!

Herbalife (NYSE: HLF ) has had a rough time of things so far this year, and things got even rougher when the multilevel marketer got sucked into an insider trading scandal at KPMG last week. When a KPMG partner was caught selling inside information on two clients he was auditing, Skechers (NYSE: SKX ) and Herbalife, and subsequently "fired" both clients, Skechers shares skated away unscathed -- but Herbalife lost more than $100 million in market cap.
How should Herbalife respond to the situation KPMG has put it in? Click through to the following video, and Fool contributor Rich Smith will lay it out for you.

Don't think for a second that player movement grinds to a halt now that all of the prominent NBA free agents have found homes. There are plenty of players who could be traded at any point in the near future, and Derrick Williams is one of the leading contenders to switch locations.
Before the Minnesota Timberwolves forward begins his third season in the NBA on October 31, the team that drafted him at No. 2 in 2011 will have to decide whether or not it wants to pick up his $6.3 million salary for the 2014-15 season.
As he's failed to live up to the expectations (and then some), this decision hasn't been made yet. Glen Taylor, Minnesota's owner, admitted as much to 1500ESPN.com, saying, "We'll evaluate his summer program, and how he looks coming into camp (which starts Oct. 1). I heard he is looking good."
While the two easiest options are either declining to pick up the back year of the contract or extending him and hoping he realizes more of his potential, trading Williams to a new team is a third choice.
Right now, five potential deals stand out above the rest, but do note that there's no urgency when it comes to trading Williams.

Chittenango native David Northrup is now a temporary member of Wynonna Judd's band The Big Noise.
The drummer said yes when Wynonna's husband, Cactus Moser, asked him to be his replacement after Moser's horrible motorcycle accident that led to him losing a leg.
Northrup is a well-known player in the Nashville scene, as a drummer and producer. He's previously toured the world as part of Travis Tritt's band.
"I must extend a most sincere thanks to Wynonna and her entire organization for their professionalism and warm welcome into the family," Northrup posted to my Facebook wall. "This entire outfit is a class act and I'm privileged to be part of it.
"I'm happy to announce to my Central New York friends and family that we'll be performing Sept. 29 in Buffalo. It'll be awesome to perform with an amazing band close to home. Please continue to keep Cactus and Wy in your prayers."

The Pasadena Foothill chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected the recently completed Department of Water and Power Building in Pasadena for a Merit Award for design. Costing $10m the civic project "is about sensitivity to historical, ecological and human contexts" said David L. Goodale, Design Principal at Gonzales Goodale Architects. "Everything about this building is meant to add productivity and pleasure to the lives of the men and women who keep Pasadena running smoothly."
Clad in perforated metal panels, the two storey building has been carefully inserted into the surrounding urban fabric. The facade deliberately echoes the volume and vertical rhythms of the historical 1930s brick and concrete building opposite, whilst retaining a distinct architectural identity of its own. The building is topped by two green demonstration areas on its roof 'to serve as learning examples for future similar endeavours in city-owned buildings' and the entire site is framed by oak trees which provide shade for employees to rest in during break times.
Green design and construction practices have been employed throughout the project, with recycled and locally sourced materials utilised wherever possible and construction waste either diverted or recycled. A water-thrifty evaporating cooling system 'rains' onto the facade, lowering the temperature on the west-facing wall and space has been afforded for bicycle racks, internal showers, and preferred parking for carpools and hybrid vehicles. Features such as panoramic views, operable windows, enhanced air-change ventilation and full day lighting have been incorporated to enhance user satisfaction.

First of all, it must be understood that traditional Muslims hate all non-Muslims in general. However, they hate Jews more than anybody else on Earth.
In Islam's oral tradition, it is believed that killing one Jew is equal to the killing of fifty non-Jewish unbelievers. Every muslims traditionally learn from the mullahs and seniors—that they must hate Jews more than any other infidels. All muslims (good or bad) do believe that Jews are the worst enemy of Muslims and they are advised to take cautions when dealing with Jews.
Remember that American reporter (Daniel Pearl) who was the first victim of sensational beheading by Al-Qaeda in Pakistan (by Khaled Shaik) in 2002, right after America removed Talibans? Early 2011 (during uprising in Egypt), Lora Logan CBS reporter in Egypt was brutally raped and tortured because they thought she was a Jew, although she was not actually a Jew? What it's telling us? There is no question that every muslim child is taught about the danger from Jews universally around the Muslims world. I never heard any muslim who can deny that Muslims universally fear and hate Jews most, period.
I do believe, Jews in the Middle East know it very well. But, Jews residing in the western world, especially Jews living in the USA do not quite understand how much Muslims hate them, and it is baffling to me that many Jews make excuses for the terrible behavior of Muslims. Many Jewish rabbis and Jewish leaders deliberately join their hands in support of the so called "Inter-faith" meeting which is nothing but Islamic Taqiyya only to fool the Jews.
Perhaps Jews do not know how this special hatred for Jews is rooted in the Islamic theology and history. It alarms me to see Islamic jihad and draconian sharia advancing globally, and I can see more Jews as allies to them. By not taking a stand against Islamists, Jews are emboldening their agenda. I am writing this to wake up Jews who are under the delusion that Islam is a religion that is fundamentally friendly to them.
This hatred has nothing to do with land claims about Israel, which are false claims made throughout the Muslim world. The Muslim hatred of Jews pre-dates the existence of the modern state of Israel by some 1400 years and is based on verses in the Qur'an and in the hadiths. From earliest childhood on, Muslim youngsters are brainwashed to believe that Jews are the worst enemy of Allah, with Christians, polytheists, and Hindus coming next. The rationale for this hatred is that everyone must accept Islam, since Muslims believe that it is superior to all other religions and Islam is the only true religion on Earth.
When Muhammad was still weak, with only 75 to 100 followers, and was trying to convince the Jews they should accept him as the latest Biblical prophet, he lavished praise on them and reframed Biblical verses to flatter them. Thus, he chose Jerusalem as his qibla, the geographical direction to use when praying. Later, he changed it to Mecca because Jews did not respond to his religious claims, and he was furious with them [1].
While trying to charm the Jews into accepting his new religion, Muhammed came out with sweet verses like this, showing acceptance of other religions:
Surah 2.62 Surely those who are Jews, Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
Jews should not be fooled by the peaceful verses Muhammed introduced at the beginning of his career in Mecca, when he was politically weak. As soon as he became stronger, he made statements of war, which canceled out (abrogated) the earlier verses.
Islamic Supremacy
The belief in Islam's supremacy originated from the Qur'an [2]. Here is a sampling of verses from the Qur'an stating that Islam and Muslims are superior to all other religions and people, and that everyone must be forced to accept Islam.
- Surah 3:110 - Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
- Surah 98:6 - Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur'ân and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
- Surah 98:7 - Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allâh, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) including all obligations ordered by Islâm] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures.
- Surah 3:85 - If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted.
- Surah 9:5 - Kill non-Muslims wherever you find them. Ambush, seize, and capture them. If they convert to Islam and pray and contribute to the cause of Islam, let them go.
- Surah 48:16 - Non-Muslims must convert to Islam or they will be killed.
The following verses from the Qur'an are specifically aimed at Jews. Since Jews were the first religious group to refuse conversion – the first Muslim failure – the rage against them is intense.
- Surah 5:60 …Those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those He transformed into monkeys and swine, those who worshipped false deities.
- Surah 2:61 Abasement and humiliation were brought down upon them, [the Jews] and they became deserving of Allah's wrath; this was so because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and killed the prophets unjustly; this was so because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits.
- Surah 2:65-66 We said to the Jews who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."
- Surah 2:96 And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who ascribe partners to Allah…
- Surah 4:161 Jews will suffer a painful chastisement because they lend money.
- Surah 5:12-13 Allah made a covenant with the children of Israel , ..But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard;… and you shall always discover treachery in them excepting a few of them;
- Surah 5:70 Jews called some of the messengers of God liars and some they slew.
Hadiths Calling For The Killing Of Jews (Hadiths are collections of the sayings and deeds of Muhammed and Sahih hadith indicates one that is pure and authentic and recognized by all Islamic scholars)
Kill The Jew Behind The Stone:
Sahih Bukhari, 4:52:177, narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle says, "The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!' [This story is important enough to Muslims to be noted several times in the hadiths of Sahih Muslim]
Eradications of Jews from Arabia
Book 019, Number 4366, narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib: He heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: "I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim." [This single Sahih hadith tells everything about Islamic intolerance]
The Assassinations of Jews, as noted in various hadiths
Once Muhammed realized he could not cajole or force Jews to convert, he decided to annihilate all Jewish tribes from the vicinity of Medina. He then started a systematic elimination of most of the Jewish leaders and intellectuals who were resisting his jihad or who were obstructing his plan of converting everybody to Islam. Below is the list of assassinated Jewish leaders and intellectuals:
- Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish man who was murdered simply because he was a Jew.
- Abu Afak, a 120-year-old Jewish poet, murdered while he slept.
- Asma bte Marwan, mother of 5 children, murdered while she slept, (described below in a sahih Hadith).
- A slave women, mother of two children, murdered while she slept.
- A one-eyed shepherd, murdered while he slept.
- A very old woman, literally ripped in half by Muslims who captured her on a raid.
- A slave girl, who was murdered because she poked fun at Muhammad.
- Abdullah bin Ubayy who was killed by a disciple whom the Prophet permitted to tell a lie ("can I say something untrue, O Prophet?"…. "Yes, you may say that for Allah's cause") to win his (Ubayy) confidence to become a friend before killing him.
- Ka'ab bin Ashraf a prominent Jewish leader in Medina who was killed by deceptive technique, (described below).
Many more people who suffered a similar fate can be added here. I choose not to list them here because of space limitations. Sacred writings telling how the Prophet Muhammad eliminated Jews from the vicinity of Medina in his early raids. I have included only a few below.
The Massacre of Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe
According to the "Sirat-a-Rasul" by Ibn Ishaq [1], the most famous and earliest written biography of Prophet Muhammad, page 464, the story goes as follows: After the Battle of the Ditch, when the coalition force of Quraish left the battle field, prophet Muhammad attacked the last of the large Jewish tribes of Medina, the Banu Qurayza. The Banu Qurayza Jewish tribe was attacked for not supporting prophet Muhammad when the Quraisha's coalition force from Mecca attacked Medina (the Battle of the Trench) to take revenge for Muhammad's repeated highway attacks on Quraish business caravans. After the withdrawal of the coalition force the Jews were isolated. Hazrat Ali (one of the Muhammad's four best disciples) swore that he would never stop until he either stormed their garrisons or was killed.
After a continuous siege of 25 days, the Qurayza Jews surrendered to Prophet Muhammad unconditionally. Muhammad ordered that the men be handcuffed, while the women and children were isolated in confinement. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. This went on until the apostle made an end of them. Among them was the enemy of Allah, Huyayy b. Akhtab and Ka`b b. Asad, their chief, and they were brought with their hands bound to their neck by a rope. [Ibn Ishaq, p. 462-64; Tabari vol. 8, p. 34].
"Merciful" Allah in the Qur'an Supported The Massacre of the Banu Qurayzas
- Surah 33:26 And He brought those of the People of the Book [the Jewish people of Banu Qurayza] who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, some of them you slew (beheaded) and some you took prisoners (captive).
- Surah 33:27 And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things.
The Qur'anic Tafsir Supported the Banu Qurayza Massacre (tafsir means commentary or scholarly analysis): Maulana A. Yousuf Ali stated: "The men of the Banu Qurayza were slain; the women were sold as captives of war (booty); and their lands and properties were distributed or divided among the Muhajirs." [Yousuf Ali's tafsir for Sura Ahzab].
The Massacre of the Jewish tribe in Khybar, (a city north of Medina)
The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khybar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khybar came out running on the roads. The prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiyyah was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the prophet. The prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'. Muhammad was sixty (60) when he married Safiyyah, a young girl of seventeen. She became his eighth wife. [Narrated by Anas: Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 512].
Allah's Messenger Then Occupied Khybar
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) handed over the land of Khybar (on the condition) of the share of produce of fruits and harvest, and he also gave to his wives every year one hundred wasqs: eighty wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of barley. When 'Umar became the caliph, he distributed the (lands and trees) of Khybar, and gave option to the wives of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) to earmark for themselves the land and water or stick to the wasqs (that they got) every year. They differed in this matter. Some of them opted for land and water, and some of them opted for wasqs every year. 'A'isha and Hafsa were among those who opted for land and water. [Sahih Muslim: Book 010, Number 3759].
If anyone is looking for a simple, concrete reason for prophet Muhammad's attack on all the affluent Jewish tribes that lived in Arabia in the seventh century, such as the Banu Qurayza, Banu Nadir, and Khybar, then he does not need to look any further than the Qur'anic verse 33:27. "And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things." As it happened, the Meccans and their allies withdrew from seizing Medina at the Battle of Trench without allowing Muslims to take their wealth. This prevented Muhammad from rewarding his three thousand jihadis. He needed lots of wealth to reward his jihadis. So the prophet confiscated the wealth of Jews to satisfy his greedy jihadis! He was following a bad custom of winner-take-all in seventh-century Arabia. It is a pity that he could not rise above this, as the so-called prophet for all of the world, the "last and the best" of all the prophets!
Using Barbaric Torture To Seize Hidden Gold Treasure
Prophet Muhammad accused Safiyyah's husband, Kinanah, and his cousin of hiding some of their properties in contravention of the terms of surrender. He was especially angered that Kinanah had hidden the wealth (worth about ten thousand Dinars; approximately US$ 500,000) that he received from his marriage to a B. Nadir girl (Safiyyah). A renegade Jew divulged the secret of Kinanah's hidden gold treasures. That Jew went and fetched the hidden treasures. Kinanah and his cousin were promptly arrested by the Muslims. Then Kinanah b. al-Rabi, Safiyyah's husband, was brought to Muhammad. Muhammad charged him with hiding his wealth in some underground storage. Kinanah refused to surrender it; so the Messenger of God gave orders concerning him to al-Zubayr b. al-'Awwam, saying, "Torture him until you root out what he has." Al-Zubayr kept twirling his firestick in his breast until Kinanah almost expired; then the Messenger of God gave him to Muhammad b. Maslamah, who beheaded him to avenge his brother, Mahmud b. Maslamah. William Muir, an eminent nineteenth century Scottish orientalist, [6] writes that then the heads of the two chiefs (Kinanah and his cousin) were severed. Because of the so-called treachery by the Jews for allegedly hiding their treasures, Muhammad now allowed the Muslim Jihadists to take possession of the women and children of the Jews of Khaybar. To this day, Muslims taunt Jews with the ancient memory of the taking of Khaybar. [Ibn Ishak, al-Tabari vol.8 p.122]
Deception And Assassination of the Prominent Jewish Leader, Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf
There are various hadith narrations regarding the assassination of Ka'b Bin Ashraf, a prominent Jewish leader in Medina who resisted conversion. He was so menacing to the Muslims that he was called "the evil genius of the Jews." Salah Bukhari 4:52:271, narrated by Jabir; Sahih Bukhari 5:59:369, narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah; Sahih Bukhari 7:67:427, narrated by Zahdam. I have included just one such hadiths below.
Narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah: "Allah's Apostle said, "Who would kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf as he has harmed Allah and His Apostle?" Muhammad bin Maslama (got up and) said, "I will kill him." So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to Ka'b and said, "I want a loan of one or two Wasqs of food grains." Ka'b said, "Mortgage your women to me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we mortgage our women, and you are the most handsome among the Arabs?" He said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can we mortgage our sons, as the people will abuse them for being mortgaged for one or two Wasqs of food grains? It is shameful for us. But we will mortgage our arms to you." So, Muhammad bin Maslama promised him that he would come to him next time. They (Muhammad bin Maslama and his companions) came to him as promised and murdered him. Then they went to the Prophet and told him about it." [Sahih Bukhari 3:45:687].
The Killing of a Jewish poetess for Taunting The Prophet of Islam
Asma bint Marwan was the mother of 5 infants. She was of B. Umayya b. Zayd. When Abu 'Afak had been killed she displayed disaffection. 'Abdullah b. al-Harith b. al-Fudayl from his father said that she was married to a man of B. Khatma called Yazid b. Zayd [sic]. Blaming Islam and its followers she said: I despise B. Salik, and al-Nabit 'Auf, and B. al-Khazraj. She wrote a poem despising prophet Muhammad. When the apostle heard what she had said, he said, 'Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?' Umayr b. Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her. Umayr, the assassin, pierced her chest (heart) with his sword while she was asleep (It was the middle of the night, and one of her babies was sucking at her breast for milk.).
In the morning he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he said, "You have helped God and His apostle, O 'Umayr." When he asked if he would have to bear any evil consequences, the apostle said, "Two goats won't butt their heads about her," so 'Umayr went back to his people.
Now there was a great commotion among B. Khatma that day about the affair of Bint Marwan. She had five sons, and when 'Umayr went to them from the apostle, he said, "I have killed Bint Marwan, O sons of Khatma. Withstand me if you can; don't keep me waiting." That was the first day that Islam became powerful among B. Khatma; before that, those who were Muslims concealed the fact. The first of them to accept Islam was 'Umayr b. Adiy who was called 'the Reader', and 'Abdullah b. Aus and Khuzayma b. Thabit. The day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of B. Khatma became Muslims because they saw the power of Islam. Siraat-e-Rasul by Ibn Ishaq, p. 676. [This is a glaring example how Islam was spread in Arabia, very "peacefully" indeed.]
The Assassination of Abu Rafi,' another prominent Jewish leader
Abu Rafi' used to hurt Allah's Apostle and help his enemies against him. He lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. So this was probably for military reasons. Tabari says, "The reason for his being killed was, it is said that he used to take the part of Ka'b b. al-Ashraf against the Messenger of God." [Bukhari vol. 5 book 59 no.371 p.251]
The Blood Money System in Islamic Sharia Shows Contempt for Jews
As per Islamic Sharia, there is a concept of "blood money" and this draconian compensatory justice system is still practiced in Saudi Arabia (According to the Wall Street Journal, April 9, 2002). Under this system, if a person has been killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay "blood money" or compensation, as follows:
100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
50,000 riyals if a Christian man
25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
6,666 riyals if a Hindu (or idolaters) man
3,333 riyals if a Hindu (or idolaters) woman
That is, a Muslim man's life is worth 33 times that of a Hindu woman.
Jews are not eligible for blood money compensation: Sharia is silent on the blood money for a Jew. The above authentic blood money chart practicing in Saudi Arabia (The cradle of Islam) has not included Jews; although, it has included all other most famous organized religions of the world. Reason is very clear; Jews do not deserve any blood money. Because, Jews are the arch enemies of Allah. Actually, it is negative blood money. That is, if any Muslim kills a Jew, the killer gets reward in this world and in the hereafter. Every time, whenever we read Palestinian kills a Jew—what do we read? The entire Muslim ummah praises the killer (muslim killer I mean). The Palestinian authority even rewards the killer. If the Muslim killer kills a Jewish child, he receives more accolades!
This article has delved into the most sensitive historical incidents that happened at the very start of Islam. Naturally, to understand history correctly, we must rely upon the most relevant sources: the Qur'an, the Hadiths, and Islamic history as recorded by respected biographers of the prophet Muhammad. In this article we have used authentic information from the above sources most scrupulously. We have used verses from the Qur'an, a number of related hadiths as found in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sahih Tabari, and passages from the life of prophet Muhammad as recorded by Ibn Ishaq in his work, Sirat Rasul Allah, available in the abridged edition of Ibn Hisham, and translated by A. Guillaume under the title The Life of Muhammad. This is believed to be the earliest written account of the prophet Muhammad's life, making it regarded as the most reliable.
A careful search did not show up any information about the extermination of Jews from Arabia that contradicts what I have mentioned in this article. Scores of Sahih (pure and authentic) hadiths continuously brag shamelessly, without any shred of remorse, about how "heroically" the prophet of Islam eliminated all the "scoundrel Jews" from Medina. For almost fourteen hundred years all the vicious Qur'anic verses and Sahih hadiths that are used here were respected and believed by all the faithful Muslim believers without any question. Not one pious Muslim, respected Mullah, Maoulana, or any other prominent Islamic scholar ever questioned their authenticity or validity in Islam. Rather, all Muslim authorities readily believed in the authenticity of these verses and used them regularly to write thousands of books celebrating and eulogizing the prophet of Islam.
According to Islamic Sharia and Koranic teachings—Jews have no right to live in this Earth of Allah! Christians, and all other un-believers (Hindus and idolaters) are less human than Muslims and their rights are less than the rights of Muslims. This is the very reason why pure Muslims (al-Qaeda jihadis, Mullahs, Imams) earnestly believe that it is the most sacred duty of the Muslims to correct, convert, or kill all non-Muslims/infidels to purify this earth, which belongs only to Allah.
I have no idea how Muhammed can be called 'merciful' and Islam can be called the 'religion of peace.' Hopefully, my former experiences within the Muslim world will arm people of good will with the necessary truths to fight this growing evil. Jews in particular must free themselves from the delusion that Islam is not a threat to them. They are a central target of Islamic annihilation. It is my heartfelt desire that militant Islam be stopped in its quest for global domination and that Jews and other non-Muslims can live in safety.

Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish. Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's "Person of the Century", was a Jew. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman.
Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity: Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine. Gertrude Elion gave us a leukemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease). Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.
Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission. Andrew Schally won a Nobel in endocrinology (disorders of the endocrine system; diabetes, hyperthyroidism). Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy (psychotherapy to treat mental disorders, depression and phobias). Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for furthering our understanding of the human eye. Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development). Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.
Over the past 105 years, 14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes). This advancement of the Jews make the Muslims envious and that envy is translated into hatred.

Jews denied Muhammad's bid for prophethood.
It is estimated that over 1 million people claimed to be prophets .Jews had a common set of rules to determine if someone was legit .Muhammad failed the test and became angry he was not confirmed religious royalty. Muhammad not only believed he was a prophet and spoke to g-d,he believed his religious ideas were superior.
Muhammad wanted immortality ,to be worshipped and tributes dedicated to him.Like many psychotic sociopaths with g-d complexes he wanted recognition of his superior intelligence ,ideals,rights and leadership.

Islam's legitimacy rests on military conquest and forceful conversion, awarding a halo of sanctity or beautification to wanton killing, looting and rape by the so-called messenger of Allah and his henchmen. Lovers of Islam just want to commits those crimes with impunity and without scruples on the infidels.

Muhammad claimed himself to be an apostle of Allah who he claimed to be same as Yahweh. But Yahweh had been in covenant with the Jews. So, Muhammad needed authorization of the Jews to make such outrageous claim. His self-authorization or self-attestation of apostle hood was a criminal act.

Does behavior of comminity leaders and recorded history prove that 'Islam's legitimacy rests on military conquest and forceful conversion, awarding a halo of sanctity or beautification to wanton killing, looting and rape by the so-called messenger of Allah and his henchmen?

"Those to whom I gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it. And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, even before it, Muslims [submitting to Allah]." Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend. And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace l be upon you; we seek not the ignorant." Indeed, [O RW], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the guided." 28:52-56

How would we know who satan's people are? By their hatred for God's people.
And if God built a Holy Temple on the Temple Mount, it is only fair to expect that satan would also want to build a temple on the Temple Mount.
Does the current abomination on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem belong to worshipers that also hate the Jews?
When the Jews returned in peace to the Holy Land from the four corners of the earth, which nations did not accept it and fought to remove them?
written by commandaria , November 28, 2011
Jews lived much better in the Middle East, ie under Islam, than under the Chrisitans who expelled them after the monarch went bankrupted and needed a new source of income? Jew's even rose to the ranks of the grand vizier (Prime Minister).
Colonization, cumulating to the al-Nakba (ie expulsion of the Jews) is the true reason for Muslim hatred of the Jews.

McDONALD - It used to drive Cameron Ifft nuts that he couldn't play pee-wee football as a kid.
His dad was a varsity football coach in the area for more than 20 years, so Ifft was surrounded by the sport, but his father, Bill, didn't like the idea of young children playing football, so Cameron had to wait. As painful as that was, the wait appears to have paid off.
"I kept telling my dad when I was little, 'You better let me play because I'm going to hit people,' " Cameron said. "And he said, 'We're going to find out when you get older.' And by the time I got to junior high and varsity, I was just so excited to finally get to hit people."
Article Video
He's been knocking them down ever since.
Ifft enters his senior year at McDonald a four-year starter, and he earned that distinction by showing he wasn't afraid to hit as a gangly freshman.
"We do an Oklahoma drill, but we call it Billy Goat," said McDonald coach Dan Williams of a hitting drill in which a running back and a defender often go head-to-head. "We got this kid in there whacking guys. He wasn't afraid to jump in, and he's hitting seniors, juniors, and we said, 'This kid's gotta get on the field somewhere.'
"He was the kind of kid that you knew right out of the gate that he was a physical kid."
Ifft started off on special teams as a freshman, but he continued to impress the coaching staff so much that he ended up starting at linebacker. When an injury occurred on offense, he took over at wide receiver. Ifft, who was about 6 feet, 140 pounds as a freshman, said he started to gain confidence after a game against Sebring.
"They had this senior, and he had been starting there for a long time - I think he plays at Akron now," Ifft recalled. "I was 14. This kid was 17 or 18 and he was like 6-4, 215, and he played a lot of football in his time. And he whacked me one time, and I went into the locker room during halftime, and the coaches were telling us, 'You can't do that. We expect more from you.' And I went out in the second half and had still to this day one of the biggest hits of my career."
Ifft said he was playing receiver and peeled back after a teammate caught a pass and pancaked a kid.
"That fired me up," he said.
The fire remains lit.
Ifft ran for 516 yards and six touchdowns on 81 attempts as a junior. He also made 56 tackles (five for loss) and one sack on defense. His role will expand even more as a senior, especially after the type of effort he's put in during the offseason. The once lanky Ifft is now a solid 6-4, 220 pounds who bench presses 300 pounds, squats 400 and cleans 265. Ifft said he's received looks from Indiana and Michigan along with several Mid-American Conference schools.
Williams said his physical growth is evident to more than just colleges.
"(His teammates) see what he's done," he said. "He went from a little freshman to a 220-pound senior. The kids recognize that, and it's come from the hard work and dedication in the offseason."
He moved to outside linebacker after McDonald tweaked its defense, and he plays at 'Z' receiver, which is used as both a running back and a receiver in the Wing-T offense of the Blue Devils. His hitting can pump up the defense, while his versatility as a pass-catcher and a running back can create matchup problems on offense, but his years of experience might be his most valuable asset for a McDonald team with high expectations.
"I've seen just about every situation," he said. "I've been in games when we're winning by 50. I've been in games where we were down by 50, and I've also been in games where we're fighting back and forth. I've just seen it all, and so have some of the other kids, so I think we're just ready to go now."

Our Shared Community Goal
By the class of 2020, we will increase by 50% both the graduation rate of Tacoma Public Schools students and those who complete a college degree or technical certificate. Success will require measuring and closing gaps in access, opportunities and achievement for all students from cradle to college and career.
INDICATORS: From Cradle to College and Career
It's not enough to focus on K-12 education. We need to support kids from the cradle on up, so that they meet and exceed key milestones and start school ready to succeed.
Elementary school sets the stage for a lifetime of academic learning. We need to ensure that children get the early support they need to lay a strong foundation for future success.
This is a crucial period in students' lives when they gain the skills needed to complete high school. Efforts need to reach beyond academics to include students' social and emotional development as well.
Students should receive the tools, skills, and confidence necessary to succeed in high school. They should graduate, and every one of them should be looking beyond commencement to post-secondary programs and successful careers.
We consider post-secondary education to be formal learning programs that occur after high-school graduation: colleges, universities, seminaries, and technical or vocational schools that award academic degrees or professional certificates.

Obama and Buffet Cousins?
Reports from on recent studies of President Barack Obama's family tree suggest that he and the billionaire investor Warren Buffet, an advisor and supporter of the Obama campaign, are distant cousins.
This evidence has been submitted by genealogists, who report the president and titan of industry share a common lineage in Mareen Duvall, a French emigrant, who moved to Maryland as an indentured servant in the 1650s. The research concludes that Mr. Duvall is Obama's ninth great-grandfather and the Buffet's sixth great-grandfather. This would make the 2010 mega stars 7th cousins three times removed.
Like the two stars themselves, the early immigrant Duvall experienced a 'rags to riches' story. Genealogists state that within nine years of his move to the United States, he had severed the shackles of servitude and become a land owner, slave owner, and merchant. Lead researcher on the project, Anastasia Tyler, stated he had become a "country gentleman," and that "you can see the similarities in their [Obama, Buffet] lives."
The link is maternal for Obama: his mother's second great grandmother was a Duvall. Buffet's link is paternal: his father's mother was a Duvall.
Neither Obama nor Buffet has commented on the research, though reports continue to churn that their political similitude is a simple measure of family vision.

Skip to comments.You can legally vote twice! Here's how:
Posted on 09/23/2011 5:44:03 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing
A republican friend of mine is pissed off at me because I told them straight up that if Romney got the nomination, he won't get my vote. I'm not cutting off my nose to spite my face. So then the usual lecture came out "if you vote third party or stay home, what you're really doing is voting for obama".
I thought to myself about this prospect. Really?
If I vote zero times for Romney, I'm really voting once for Obama?
So then obviously, if I vote once for Obama, I'm really voting twice for Obama?
This is truely interesting math indeed.
"And you just may survive long enough to figure out a way to stop the madness."
That is one survival strategy, but it assumes that the bread won't run out for a long time. In today's economy, that maybe a poor assumption.
Another survivial strategy is to blow up both sides and form a new 3rd side that won't take bread from you at all...
And how did that strategy work out when Perot ran under a 3rd party?
From last night, it appears that Fox News wants that, as well as the other lib-media outlets, but the primaries are still months away.
Romney hasn't sealed anything yet and neither has anyone else.
Losing the election is not winning.
We need to stop the chaos NOW!
This country will not survive a second term of Obama.
Obamacare is destoying this country.
And by how much.
Voting for a minor candidate can leave the Republicans with slim victory against an unpopular Democratic candidate, and make them realize (finally) that they're going to have to do something different.
Or will it take an outright loss to get their attention?
"This country will not survive a second term of Obama."
Nor will this country survive under a RINO like Romney. Voting in Romney will not stop the chaos NOW! There's no guarantee that Romney would lead to repeal Obamacare - he's a flip-flopper and liberal at his core.
If Obama were to beat Romney, then hopefully a new Tea Party would emerge and conservatives would flee the GOP to leave it as the establishment, liberal-lite party. Then, the new Tea Party could actually institute real change.
First off, in this country there is one predominant party - the Government Party.
It has two subsidiary wings, that which we popularly know as the Democrats and the Republicans.
In the past, they have vied with each other to take turns running the apparatus of the government, with marginally differing views on how to do that. But they have all essentially pushed the same things, the same ideas.
In the past, we have called these "elections".
So the first point is, that exercising your franchise is a patriotic duty beyond question is a nice thought, but I remind you in many dictatorships of varying flavors around the world voter participation is often above 95%, many times higher than that.
Next up, if somehow Romney is the Republican candidate, then the choice becomes whether you want to plunge head first into the swirling waters of socialism (Obama) or commit suicide on the installment plan (Romney).
Again, the "lesser evil" is still evil.
So the stratagem now becomes insuring that Romney or the likes is not the nominee. That is why we have primaries. This is where the first real blood-fest will occur, where we will see if there is anything to the perception that the Republican Establishment is, in it's current incarnation, in it's death throes.
Don't want Romney? Start working now to insure it's not him.
As for me, personally, I remember his old man. Met him once, briefly, in '68. Didn't like him at all, and I've always wondered just how far the acorn falls from the tree.
I don't like Mitt, either.
But returning to the original premise of this post, the Government Party, with it's attendant sycophantic propaganda apparatus, masquerading as the press corp, finally feels it's grip on the country in trouble with the emergence of the Tea Party (and rightly so!).
That cannot be permitted under any circumstance!
Personally, I don't give a damn about the Democrats, and neither should you. Beyond redemption, they can go to hell in their own way (and they most assuredly will). It's the Republican party we must commandeer, as they are, historically, most akin to our thoughts.
The day of the "big tent" is over. Having a "conservative" party brim full of liberals is a redundancy we can no longer afford. Liberalism is, as P. J. O'Rourke once said, Communism one drink at a time. Why should we have that in our midst? That's what the other party is for.
Just as in 1964, we do not have the press on our side. But unlike '64, we have the far-reaching effects of the Internet that can negate the former power of the liberal press. Additionally, there are many, many personal communication opportunities that exist today that were not available then.
Also, the corruptive influence of "public education" is far more advanced today than it was in the mid '60's, and our own efforts at "consumer education" must be trebled because of this. We must become aggressive about this.
By recognizing every communication with the public, no matter how small that public is, is an opportunity to educate. And by refuting smears, a favorite Alinsky-ite tactic of the left, with truth, and doing it loudly and aggressively.
Candidates like Palin and Cain would have no problem jousting with the mainstream press, and coming out ahead on it.
The point there is, we don't have to meet these guys on their terms, not when we can meet them on ours!
When thinking of deciding our country's future, and hence the future of our posterity, there can be no mistake - the Tea Party, or whatever it evolves in to, is at this juncture in history our last, best hope. This is the vehicle we should utilize to tap the widespread anger and angst that exists out there.
The Republican party as it is presently constituted is as good as dead.
The message conveyed must be unequivocal: This time, America really does want a choice, and not an echo.
The existing Tea Party is not a registered 3rd party that gets its own candidates on ballots....
I'd like to see conservatives leave the GOP to RINOs like McCain, Romney, etc., for another real party and not some caucus.
A win is win and knowbody pays attention to a loser.
A loser can come back a be a winner (like Nixon).
Sending a message may give you a little influence, but not much.
You need to win, but you only have one vote. You need to work to get your candidate elected, but don't take the football home if your candidate doesn't win. Play the game with the best quarterback that the majority supports.
Liberals win because they stick together irrespective if their particular group is getting all they want.
Conservatives need to stick together. Conservatives have too many independent thinkers (that's good) but each person want it their way and not willing to take small gains and work together for the greater good. The Tea Party is changing that, but they continue to need to convince others.
They have an influence, but they are not in control.
There are strenghts and weaknesses in each Republican candidate, but I will support the Republican nominee.
I hope we get a better nominee than Rommney, but he would be better than the alternative. I could see Rommney as a better President than Bush.
Get real!
A Conservative Party will have varying degrees of conservatism, some of which you may not like.
You need to stand on principle and convince others to share those principles.
It would be better to work within the Republican Party and chnage it. You need to understand that there will always be RINOS, CINOS, etc. in any party. Some people are unwilling to do the right thing or can't determine the right thing.
What are you doing to change the GOP to follow conservative principles?
"Working together" goes both ways. I, and many more here have bitten the bullet many times in the spirit of "working together" and the only ones getting anything out of this deal seem to be the partisan Republicans, and then don't seem one bit interested in having anything to do with us once they've got that vote. It's getting pretty damned old.
No thanks. I vote in the primaries and in the local elections for conservative candidates.
If the GOP nominates a liberal like McCain for president again they will not get my support. I vote on principle, not on party loyalty.
I never said you did endorse Obama Jr. Can you answer my question now? Even better, lemme phrase it simply. How does voting for obama's lil brother help shape this country, assuming you disagree with Obama.
Boehner, is that you?
You sound just like a typical establishment Republican, who's willing to sacrifice principles over paltry gains.
Is there going to be anyting to this argument more substantial than the standard list of truisms?
I think we've all probably seen them all before, trotted out right before every election.
Yes. The math is correct and explains a lot of the candidates' and parties' behaviors.
You have a base that won't vote for other candidate no matter what. If you sacrifice (lose) one vote from the base, to gain a vote from the "mushy middle" from your opponent, you gain TWO votes - your opponent loses one, and you gain one - for a net gain of one vote.
That's why both parties routinely screw their base. The "mushy middle" vote is more valuable.
Interesting. You equate a conscious decision to withhold approval of a given candidate with apathetic disengagement.
Do you not check to see what fillings are in the sandwich before biting it?
I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting me to say. You have obviously labeled a specific person as Obama's lil brother (I have no idea who this is as you came up with the handle) and I assume that you mean Romney by Obama Jr per the previous replies to me. If you feel that EVERYONE currently running for president is Obama's lil brother or Obama Jr then maybe you could vote a write-in of your choice. Just a suggestion. That's what it is available for.
I see several candidates whom I like and do not see as Obama jr or his lil brother. My point and my answer to your question is that we must not just lay down and not vote because the candidate we support does not get nominated, if that should happen. Obama must be defeated and we know his supporters will be voting.
Huh? I just said if you decide not to vote, you lose your right to bitch and moan.
I've got a neighbor that is constantly complaining about Obama. I asked him if he voted for Obama or McCain and he said, "Hell, no, I couldn't vote for either one of them so I didn't vote at all!"
Well, guess what, pal? Anything you say after that falls on deaf ears. If you can't take it upon yourself to cast a vote, ANY VOTE... FOR ANYBODY, in the election... You lose your right to bitch and moan. If you throw away your right to be heard at the ballot box, you're just blowing smoke and you throw away your right to be heard, period.
Call it what you want, but the truth is it's lazy and pathetic.
The coming election has much to do with what is going to happen on the SCOTUS.
I hear you you, but some states have laws that they won't count write in votes. So, what would be the point of voting for ANYBODY as you suggest, even if it's a write-in when that vote won't be counted anyway.
You are entitled to your opinion, FRiend.
Nice try at framing the dabate so that conservatives stay on the R plantation, no matter what form of excrement sandwich we are served.
You're not voting on principle. I dare say you don't even understand the meaning of the word.
When November 2012 rolls around, you have a choice between Obama and the Republican. Nobody else has a chance of being elected. If you do not vote for the Republican, then you are the Union soldier who refused to fire his weapon at the Confederate soldier. You can say it's "principle" but a conservative who does not vote for the more conservative candidate is helping the more liberal candidate. Those are the facts.
You may now resume your implicit support of Obama.
And Sarah Palin will pick a solid conservative.
Please - you go on and vote for your RINO if you want to. Your analogy of the civil war is pathetic. There's hardly any difference between Romney and Obama, so don't try to paint some herioc war picture as if voting for Romney is the equivalent of ending slavery. How can you say Romney is the "more conservative" candidate - that's a crock.
The facts are the GOP is doomed if it keeps nominating liberals. The GOP needs a wakeup call that it can't take conservatives for granted. It needs to fight on principle and not compromise so often.
You may now resume your continuous support of the liberal-lite, loser GOP party. What you fail to see is that a Romney presidency won't be any better than an Obama presidency in the long run.
I'm sorry I asked a very simple question and you've proven unable to even figure out the question. I just cant deal with stupid people, and you're it. Thanks anyway.
You have a nice day.
If you choose to stay home or not to cast your vote in such a way as to make it most likely that Zero will be out in 2012, then you are part of the problem!
"If the best way to influence the outcome favorably is to vote for a jerk, then you vote for the jerk."
What if the jerk is no better then Zero? So, you get Zero out, but now you have the jerk who doesn't do anything to advance the country in the proper direction.
If you vote for Zero or the jerk then you are part of the problem!
You have no idea what I'm saying.
By the way, if you honestly think there is "hardly any difference" between Romney and Obama (or McCain and Obama) then you are simply incapable of logical thought.
If you continue to whine about it, then you deserve Pres Zero.
I would have liked a better candidate than McCain the loser, but he would have been better than Zero. I worked harder to elect Bush, but I still voted for McCain. We had a much high turnout for Bush than McCain in a very Republican county.
So you think you will not get a McCain in a conservative party?
Get a life. Life is not fair. Put your trust in God.
The whining started with the complaining about people voting for third parties.
You're sitting there telling me not to waste my vote "sending a message". If nobody sends them a message, tell me how they're ever going to get the message.
By winning. Getting enough like minded people to support your candidate.
Prayer and asking for God's help for all to follow God's laws will help also.
Voting for 3rd parties is a wasted vote. I don't care if Liberals want to waste their vote or not show up at the polls.
We had a 98% turnout of registered voters for GWB (67%+)and a 89% turnout for McCain (62%).
Republicans (conservatives) need to organize and get out the vote. Conservatives can win, but they need to work for it.
Feh! You just finished telling me I need to support whoever it is the Republicans put out there, whether it's "my candidate" or not.
You talk out of both sides of your maouth at once.
That's not the case with the current lineup. Any of them is better than Zero.
In fact my neighbor has a natural born American dog, who is over 35 in dog years and who, in addition to his natural born talent for creating shovel-ready jobs, could execute the office of president better than the incumbent.
Romney is not substantially different than Zero as far as his policy positions. So, he would continue the same liberal mindset that is destroying this country, and what's worse is that Republicans would get blamed for his disastrous, liberal agenda.
No thanks, you can keep your RINOs.
I do know what you're saying...you're just wrong. You advocate choosing the lesser of 2 evils and not remove Obama at all costs. I'm saying I'd love to get rid of Obama too, but if his replacement is another liberal then we really haven't made much progress.
If you think there are substantial differences between Romney and Obama then you are simply incapable of logical thought and are a RINO lover.
I never said there was hardly no difference between McCain and Obama, and I did vote for McCain. Romney is a different story.
No. You are not using any logic or reason. Think.
I said work and get your candidate nominated, but if he doesn't win, then don't run away and waste your vote.
"...but if he doesnt win, then dont run away and waste your vote."
A vote for Romney is a wasted vote...
I advocate voting for the Republican, whoever that might be, precisely BECAUSE it means removing Obama at all costs. I do not trust any Democrat. We did not know in 2008 how bad Obama would be and McCain was my dead-last choice. McCain has absolutely no redeeming value. You know what? I would've crawled on broken glass to vote for him. I don't know if Romney will get the nomination, but if he does I'll crawl on broken glass to vote for him also.
I have no honest idea how you can make the suggestion that Romney would govern in any way like Obama has. There would be no healthcare bill crushing private industry. There would be no mountain of regulations crushing private industry. Gas prices would almost certainly not be as high as they are. Would we still have debt problems? Most likely. They are not even remotely close to being the same. Not at all.
Look, the simple truth is this: If you're part of the conservative base and you don't vote Republican, you're helping Obama.
Sarah has already made her declaration of ABO. What would you do if she endorsed Romney? I know the chances are very remote, but given the hypothetical, what would you do then?
She WILL endorse him if he gets the nomination. She was very flattering toward him in her second book. But I'm voting for Palin this time around no matter who endorses who. I endorse Palin, that's what matters to me, you betcha.
Proudest vote I ever cast—
Write-in for Reagan in '76.
You betcha.
"I have no honest idea how you can make the suggestion that Romney would govern in any way like Obama has. There would be no healthcare bill crushing private industry. There would be no mountain of regulations crushing private industry. Gas prices would almost certainly not be as high as they are."
Your analysis of a potential Romney presidency is flawed because you assume that he will personally be responsible for enacting those things you desire. The president is responsible for passing bills, leading the military, appointing federal judges, foreign policy, and using the bully pulpit.
Romney would be an improvement in foreign policy, and perhaps as commander in chief. However, he can't be trusted on domestic issues. He'd most likely not lead to repeal Obamacare, he originally supported the stimulus bill, and TARP. Even if congress were to pass bills decreasing regulations, it's not a given he would sign them into law given his record, particularly his global warming stance. What makes you think gas prices would be lower if he were elected? He's pro gay marriage, pro gun control, and pro abortion, favors limits on campaign finances and appointed liberal justices while in MA.
I'm tired of voting for any Republican thinking it will be an improvement, when these liberal RINOs, screw up any momentum we may have won.
1) He sure as hell has been running on doing everything
possible to eliminate Obama's health care bill.
2) TARP, while a problem, is not a huge problem compared to others. Additionally, support of the original stimulus bill is completely irrelevant now because of the mountain of debt that has been accumulated since then.
3) Are you honestly suggesting that Romney would side with partisan Democrats on business and environmental regulations? That makes no sense at all.
4) Gas prices would be lower because Romney would not be throwing up roadblocks to domestic drilling wherever and whenever possible.
5) I don't care about gay marriage. In a perfect world, we're absolutely set as a country if gay marriage is our biggest problem. It does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as our real problems.
6) Romney has not been "pro gun control" for quite a while now.
7) Romney has not been "pro abortion" for quite a while now.
8) No justice Romney could have appointed would be anywhere near as liberal and unqualified as Sotomayor.
If a Republican president does not lead effectively, he can be removed. I absolutely cannot grasp the logic of a) assuming a Republican is not conservative enough and thus b) we'd be better off with a Marxist leading us.
A vote for Romney is a wasted vote...
One good reason that it is not a wasted vote:
Obamacare will destroy USA, and Romney has agreed that he will kill Obamacare.
1) He's a flip-flopper - I don't care what he says now, he supported government mandated healthcare - look at his record not his words
2) He defended TARP and the stimulus, which is relevant, because it means he would likely consider supporting another round of stimulus in the future. Your point makes no sense.
3) Yes - he believes in global warming and would likely follow EPA recommendations on environmental regs
4) Bull - see above
5) Just pointing out how liberal he is
6) how do you know he's not for gun control? He's a flip-flopper - how do you know what he really believes? He has no core principles and changes based upon the political climate
7) same as above - he's a flip-flopper, worse than Kerry, why do take him at his most recent word?
8) Bull - his appointments in MA were very liberal and believe in a "living" constitution
9) What are you talking about? How do you remove a sitting president? He would be marginally better than a full blown Marxist, so in the short term he would be better. However, it would just be prolonging the same issues we face. We need drastic changes to move this country in the right direction, and Romney and Establishment GOP would go along with all the same crap that got us where we are.
For the millionth time....Romney is a lying scumbag that will say anything to get elected...Why do trust anything he says now? He's a flip-flopper and his record says he won't repeal Obamacare.
Actually, this is the first time you've used the phrase "get your candidate nominated". And I think you're still leaving something out. What you really mean is "Work and get your candidate nominated by the Republican Party.
You might actually believe that's the only option a conservative can have, or you might just be partisan Republican trying to convice me it's the only choice I can have. Not enough information yet.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- After negotiations nearly fell through over a misunderstanding, Baldwin County commissioners agreed to pay $3.07 million for 144 acres at Live Oak Landing and help negotiate the sale of about 350 more acres to the state.
"I am so thankful," said Commissioner Frank Burt, who minutes earlier made a motion that would have effectively killed the deal to buy the property in negotiations going back some 5 years. "God moved this, and I give him full credit. He intervened."
Talks broke down in an executive session early in the day, prompting Chairman Bob James to pull items from the agenda that would finalize the sale of the once popular boat launch. Instead, Burt made a motion to reallocate more than $2 million in Coastal Impact Assistance Program funding to paving dirt roads. Commissioner Charles "Skip" Gruber offered a second, and in ensuing discussion, the exchange grew heated.
Burt claimed the county was dropping its bid for the land because property owners were demanding that the county join its offer with the state's bid to buy part of the parcel. Commission Chairman Bob James concurred with Burt, saying the county wouldn't agree to be tied to state efforts.
When a member of the public urged the county to put off any decision and suggested commissioners were to blame for the impasse, Burt fired back. He blamed state and federal agencies for sandbagging the purchase, and placed blame for the ultimate breakdown on the property owners for refusing the county's offer.
At that point, landowners addressed the commissioners, saying they were ready to take the offer, and had only asked for county help brokering a deal with the state for the sale of the remaining 350 or so acres in the tract.
An appraisal done years ago put the property's value at more than $18 million, but then an August 2011 valuation set the dollar amount at $9.43 million. Commissioners ordered a new appraisal in December, calling the lower estimate "flawed" because it did not include the price of timber on the land or improved roadways and utilities on the property. The latest estimate was $13.1 million.
In January, officials had planned to use $4 million in state CIAP funding, $2 million in county CIAP money and grants from Forever Wild and the Trust for Public Land to complete the deal. Last month, however, state officials were noncommittal on their part of the funding and pushed for delays until midsummer, commissioners said. Forever Wild did not make firm commitments in February as local officials had hoped, and the Trust for Public Land lost funding.
Burt said Baldwin had offered to finalize its portion of the purchase, securing 5 tracts of land. Representatives for property owner Lillian Plantation LLC asked for county's help negotiating with the state for the sale of the remaining property.
Somewhere in the exchange, however, a misunderstanding led to a collapse in the talks.
Burt later apologized for his self-described "rant" against landowners and government agencies.
Commissioner Tucker Dorsey, who had worked to broker much of the deal, said Burt's statement blaming landowners was "completely false." He hailed the purchase of the property as a huge benefit to economic development for the county, and said landowners had been "helpful, and have bent over backwards" to work with the county.
As part of the deal, landowner T. Bestor Ward III agreed to accept the county's offer to buy four parcels and agreed to donate 38 acres, the boat launch and a road formerly vacated by the county.
"We are on the right track in Baldwin County," Burt said after the vote. "I wish others would come and follow our lead."
The landing is set to host a major fishing tournament next month that could bring 400 anglers to the area boosting the local economy, officials said.
