Why do Muslims want to assure the voting public that Barack Hussein Obama isn’t a Muslim?  A Christian supported by Allah’s legions?   This doesn’t pass the smell test.

Strange but true:

Faced with White House hopefuls they fear are not entirely sympathetic to their issues, American Muslims are stepping up their activism to unprecedented levels, hoping to influence the new administration in its infancy.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks on U.S. landmarks that killed about 3,000 people, many of Muslim or Arab origin have struggled to convince at times skeptical fellow citizens that they can be Muslim and loyal to the United States.

“The number of people who have become more active and visible on the national political front has increased dramatically because people have suddenly sensed that they have to … defend themselves as Americans, defend themselves as Arabs and Muslims,” said Shibley Telhami, a Mideast scholar.

Not all Arabs are Muslim nor vice versa, but they face similar problems and share many concerns.

Tarek El-Messidi, 27, of Cincinnati, went door-to-door in South Carolina for Democratic candidate Barack Obama on an unusual mission. The Muslim volunteer had to assure voters Obama isn’t Muslim.

El-Messidi said younger Muslims lean more toward Obama than Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican choice.

“In talking to Muslims, they’re really struggling between two things: They don’t know whether to view Barack Obama as a lesser of two evils or a really good candidate that they are excited about … there’s no doubt they view him as a better candidate than McCain.”

…

Barack Hussein Obama, the Democrat Party Candidate. The party of Pelosi, Reid, Durbin and Schumer… enough said.

Tyson Foods backed down on it’s contract with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) to recognize Eid al-Fitr rather than Labor Day.

The Tyson Press Release:

Labor Day Reinstated as Paid Holiday at Shelbyville, TN, Plant; Tyson Foods Requested Change from Union

Springdale, Arkansas – August 8, 2008 – Tyson Foods, Inc. announced today it has reached a new agreement with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), an American union, reinstating Labor Day as one of the designated paid holidays under the contract for covered employees in the Shelbyville, Tennessee, plant.

Tyson made this request on behalf of its Shelbyville plant employees, some of whom had expressed concern about the new contract provisions relative to paid holidays. In an effort to be responsive, Tyson asked the union to reopen the contract to address the holiday issue, and the union agreed to do so. The union membership voted overwhelmingly Thursday to reinstate Labor Day as one of the plant’s paid holidays, while keeping Eid al-Fitr as an additional paid holiday for this year only. This means that in 2008 only, Shelbyville employees will have nine paid holidays.

For the remainder of the five-year contract period, the eight paid holidays will include: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and a Personal Holiday, which could either be the employee’s birthday, Eid al-Fitr or another day requested and approved by their supervisor.

This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, Tennessee. Labor Day has always been celebrated, and continues to be, at the other 118 Tyson plants across the country.

The Shelbyville complex employs approximately 1,200 people. Approximately 1,000 workers are covered by the RWDSU union agreement at that location.

Public outrage at these fools to change their moronic agreement recognizing the Muslim religious holiday has prevailed.  Score one for America.

John McCain’s Straight Talk Express has evolved into the Obfuscation Express.

If McCain is so worried about our nation’s security why is he for amnesty for illegal aliens?

Here is a video compilation of McCain Advisor Juan Hernandez’s ideas on illegal immigration

(Courtesy of Digger’s Realm).

John McCain was quizzed on his relationship with Hernandez in Florida on Sunday. Below is McCain’s answer:

That doesn’t sound like straight talk to me. McCain dodged the question with a non answer.

On Meet The Press on January 28 McCain was asked if he would support the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill if he were President. His answer? YES…

A Fellow passenger on the Obfuscation Express and McCain supporter, Lindsey Graham, was quizzed by Sean Hannity about a dubious ad the campaign aired about Mitt Romney’s stand on the war in Iraq. Graham had no honest answer to Hannity’s grilling.

Check it out:

Bill Clinton on John McCain:

Campaigning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday, the former president brushed aside suggestions his wife would prove to be a divisive nominee for the Democratic Party, pointing out how she has successfully worked with Republicans in the Senate — including one of the current GOP presidential candidates.”She and John McCain are very close,” Clinton said. “They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they’re afraid they’d put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other.”

What happened to the straight talk? John McCain cannot and will not win in the general election if he is nominated as the Republican nominee.

John McCain has support from way too many Progressives Liberals and outright Socialists. Among many of the organizations and individuals supporting McCain’s candidacy are George Soros and Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director.

Hernandea is an open borders advocate advising McCain and employed by McCain’s Reform Institute. The McCain Campaign claims Hernandez is a volunteer. He may well be but is paid over $100,000 yearly from the institute.

Florida voters should be informed of this before casting their votes in the Florida Republican Primary on January 29th.

Michelle Malkin has much more on John McCain’s behind the scenes shanigans. McCain is not the true Conservative Candidate he would want you to think. If you live in Florida and plan on voting in the Republican Primary check this out.

Beware Florida!

Hillary Clinton: Long On Rhetoric, Short On Answers

Will she ever give a straight answer in future debates?

Will Hillary whine about the latest RNC Video mocking her debate performance?

Mrs. Bill Clinton caught flatfooted in the Democrat Party candidates debate last night.

Hillary supports Eliot Spitzer’s plan for driver’s licenses for illegal aliens then doesn’t then after a fashion blames the Bush administration.

This is a Clinton stumble that has a long shelf life. Count on seeing this video for many months.

I can’t wait to see her debate the Republican nominee in a real debate if she gets the Democrat Party nomination.

The Dream Act will come to the Senate floor today for passage. Call your senators and inform them that you do not want this to pass!

Call your senator now. Go here to contact your Senators .

End The Dream

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Majority Whip Dick Durbin plans to bring to the Senate floor today the newest incarnation of the Dream Act, S. 2205, which would provide illegal alien students the ability to attend college while paying lower in-state tuition rates. In order to pass the Senate, the bill will need to clear two difficult procedural hurdles — it needs 60 votes to go forward today and another 60 on Friday. The Senate should kill it today.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Durbin — together with Dream Act supporters Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel and Dick Lugar — invited congressional staff to Room SC-6 of the Capitol be “briefed” by a group of illegal aliens seeking to attend college who would benefit from the bill, as well as representatives of such open-borders organizations as the National Education Association and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. (Judiciary Committee Democratic staffers organizing the event specified that the event was for staff only, and that “no press” would be welcome.)

At one level, it’s understandable that pro-amnesty politicians would be reluctant to invite the press to what was in effect a lobbying session with illegal aliens in the Capitol building. After all, the American people have made it abundantly clear that they disagree with Washington elites on illegal immigration and the in-state tuition. The Dream Act was included in the bipartisan amnesty bill pushed by the White House and Sen. Edward Kennedy that imploded in late June, after Americans deluged their senators with telephone calls, e-mails and faxes protesting the legislation. Last month, Mr. Durbin, with the support of Mr. Hagel and Mr. Lugar, tried to attach the Dream Act as an amendment to the defense authorization bill. But once again, America protested, forcing Mr. Durbin & Co. to shelve the legislation — until today.

Senator Barbara Boxer (d-CA) has an amendment attached to a spending bill making it difficult for illegal aliens to be deported adding them to census figures for 2010 to give Democrats the advantage in allotting more congressional seats. This would allow the democrats an unfair advantage in redistricting efforts.

Michelle Malkin has all the details here .

Will she get away with it? Call your Senator.

More insanity from the ACLU and The AFL-CIO
Cross posted with Stop The ACLU :

The AFL-CIO and ACLU yesterday sued to stop the Homeland Security Department from cracking down on illegal-alien workers, asking a federal judge to halt new checks on employees’ Social Security numbers because they could violate workers’ rights and lead companies to preemptively fire American workers. The labor union federation and the civil liberties group are the latest critics to attack the new rules, arguing that because of errors in the Social Security database, U.S. citizens and legal immigrants will get caught up in the process, and businesses will use it as an excuse to go after legal workers.

“This rule is a new tool to repress workers’ rights in the name of phony immigration enforcement,” said John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO….

Under the new rules, DHS says employers should give employees 90 days to rectify the error and then fire the employee. In the past, many employers were advised by lawyers to ignore the “no-match” letters. The groups that filed the lawsuit said businesses have used no-match letters as a basis of firing employees who have complained about workplace conditions or suffered on-the-job injuries.The new rule goes into effect Sept. 14.

The AFL-CIO and the ACLU filed their suit with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, part of the 9th U.S. Circuit, which has a reputation for favoring the rights of immigrants and illegal aliens….

Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said the department is going ahead, and called the lawsuit “an obvious attempt to impede the department’s ability to enforce our immigration laws. “It is completely without merit and we intend to fight it vigorously,” Mr. Knocke said

Illegal immigration will be the downfall of America and the unions along with the ACLU among other liberal organizations bear the brunt of the blame for this outrage.
