During Obama’s G20 World Tour (did you buy the t-shirt?) this week, we were witness to several disturbing
actions and statements on the part of the President. Two that come to mind are his bowing lowly before the King of Saudi Arabia (see the photo – ever see a US President do that?), and his speech before the Turkish parliament on Islam and United States. Both are examples of dhimmitude.
What’s that, you ask? Basically, it is a form of submission. The word “dhimmitude” comes from “dhimmi”, an Arabic word meaning “protected”. Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. It is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for …

Can Barack be for real? Can he really be pushing for compulsory service?
John Goldberg at the LA Times, shares:

Day by day, it amazes me more and more that people can say the most unintelligent things and cause the air to be putrid with their rancor. And other days that I get a real breath of fresh air. Today I was treated to a real burst of oxygen in the form of Leonard Pitts’ column (dated March 2, at the Miami Herald).
Pitts’ column was in response to a letter from the editor of a high school newspaper who had addressed the issue of displays of the Confederate Battle Flag, which he (the High School Editor) considered to be “an extremely offensive symbol”. As apparently does Pitts. As, frankly, do I.
Mind you, the topic itself is certainly cogent and after several news items …
