The KSM Trial Spectacle

Fred Grandy, Mark campbell, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Harry Soyster, Andy McCarthy

The Department of Justice allows the use of Shariah law in certain court cases and Muslims are allowed freedom from work for their religious practices, yet what about the other religions in America who are not given as much freedom or attention in the workforce or court systems?  Fred Grandy explains that “you can’t have submission without domination.” We are now beginning to submit to the domination of Islam. How far will this submission go and will we be able to stop it in time?

It is necessary that the US government label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Mark Campbell explains that in doing so, the US government can connect the Muslim Brotherhood’s front organizations to other terrorist groups, like Hamas. This will allow the federal government to start systematically disband their network in the United States. Why has the Obama Administration failed to do so?

There is a failure on the part of the intelligence community to learn, understand and adapt to the threats against the United States. Lt. Gen. Harry “Ed” Soyster (Ret.) brings up the fact that our government is not speaking openly and clearly as to the nature of the threats we face, or our objectives in combating such threats. We must know ourselves and our enemy if we are to succeed in protecting our homeland. Will the Obama Administration ever speak openly about the threats against us?

The Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the US want to delegate counterterrorism policy to our lawmakers thereby controlling who we deem are or are not a threat. Andy McCarthy enlightens us to the notion that there are some people that see Islamists as a group that needs to be combated while others feel that if we allow them into the halls of government, then they will change their ways. These groups will use whatever means available to achieve their objective and we must remember that Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch.

Thom Shanker, Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Debra Burlingame, Andy McCarthy

Since the end of the Cold War, US forces in Europe have constantly been shrinking and will probably end up in the range of 20,000 in the near future. Thom Shanker explains what this means to the morale of our troops and our allies in the region. If the US starts to ignore Europe, will the Russians take the opportunity to seize more control?

Obama is continuing to offer Iran a free pass on their nuclear program which casts America as nothing more than a paper tiger. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann elaborates on the idea of America being a paper tiger and how the Iranians are laughing at us behind closed doors. Are we just giving Iran more time to complete a nuclear weapon? How do the Israelis view this complacency on the part of Obama?

Is the Obama Administration falling for the Muslim Brotherhood’s “charm campaign” or does the president think he can ensure American security by becoming friends with our enemies? According to Debra Burlingame, the Muslim Brotherhood is not an advocate for peace and equality, but seeks to establish a global caliphate under the guidance of Sharia law. Will America wake up to this stealth jihad?

Has England gone completely over the edge in their quest for inclusion of their Muslim population? , in response to President Obama’s $10 million bounty for a high valued terrorist leader in Pakistan, the British Parliaments’ lone Muslim has offered a bounty for the capture of President Obama and former President Bush. Andy McCarthy explains how England has worked so hard to make Muslims a part of British society that they forgot that not all Muslims pledge their allegiance to the Union Jack. Will incidences such as this put a strain on the relationship of the free world’s two greatest allies?

Peter Brookes, Jose Cardenas, Sarah Steelman, Andy McCarthy

About two months ago, North Korea agreed to not test any satellites, missiles or weapons in return for food aid from the United States. Was there a failure to communicate? According to Peter Brookes, there was no failure to communicate because North Korea is known for lying and being deceitful in order to get what they want. What is the impact on regional security if North Korea successfully tests this new missile? Why is Obama so adamant on removing almost 80% of America’s nuclear deterrent at a time when other countries are building up theirs? The president can only force us to relinquish our weapons.

Brazil wants respect and wants to be a major player on the world stage, but does not want the responsibility that comes along with such a role. Brazil holds a lot of resentment towards the US when it comes to how America treats Brazil, but when Brazil is called on to burden any of the cost for international programs, they retreat and call themselves a developing country. Jose Cardenas explains how the Bush administration worked to build up the US/Brazil relationship while the Obama administration is allowing it to strain and falter at a time when the Islamists are impacting Central and South America. When Hugo Chavez dies, who will take his place? Can America and Brazil work together to help stave off Islamist influence in the region?

America needs to encourage the idea of peace through strength. Senate candidate Sarah Steelman explains what that means to her and how she will promote this idea if elected to the US Senate. First, America needs to have the muscle to protect itself, its allies and its interests but we should only use the muscle after all non-military avenues have been explored. Once we decide to use force, we need to have a clear goal and provide our troops with the necessary support in order to achieve their objective. Our military needs to be well funded, well trained, and be equipped with the latest technology. How can we encourage our elected officials to share in Sarah’s view of American security?

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser has served his country with distinction in the United States Navy and continues to serve his country on the US Commission for International Religious Freedom, but Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, such as CAIR, have taken issue with his appointment. Andy McCarthy explains how Dr. Jasser represents the moderate Muslims, the ones that are not trying to promote Sharia or wage jihad, but the ones that want to live in peace with their Christian and Jewish brothers under the Constitution. What is CAIR saying and doing to denounce Dr. Jasser? Will Congress concede to the wishes of the Islamists and remove Dr. Jasser from the commission?

Frank Slazer, Elaine Donnelly, Christian Whiton, Andy McCarthy

Are the cuts to space as apocalyptic as they seem? According the Frank Slazer, a lot of these cuts are not disastrous to national security but the dismal of these programs will result in the loss of one million jobs. Can our economy really afford one million more people on the unemployment line? The first round of defense cuts might be acceptable, but the second round of cuts could have serious implications to our national security. Defense contractors will be forced to purchase parts that are vital to military performance, from foreign companies where the parts could be faulty or even sabotaged.

Why would the Pentagon want to hide a section of a report that highlights a rise in sexual assault among women in the military? Elaine Donnelly says its because the fact that since 2006 violent sexual assaults have doubled would pose a serious roadblock to Obama’s plan to integrate women into the front lines. A congressional committee on diversity wants to ignore physical ability, performance, readiness and morale and instead believe that women are able to perform the same combat as their male counterparts. Can women really meet the standards needed to become a Navy SEAL or fight an enemy in hand-to-hand combat? If women start joining men on the front lines, what will that mean for military effectiveness and morale?

Is Obama forcing the US into a war with Syria without a plan just so he can appease the Muslim Brotherhood? Christian Whiton explains that Syria’s neighbors are pushing to arm the rebels and are seeking to put a non-Islamist face on the rebels so America will have no problem joining them. How come the president has not mentioned his plans to the American people?

The Islamists use American laws in order to further their own agenda, liberals use the Constitution to further their own agenda. Are the liberals and the Islamists working hand-in-hand to destroy American liberties? ICNA is pushing a $3 million campaign to “educate” Americans on Sharia and the liberal media is supporting this effort. Obama has begun intimidating the Supreme Court in order to keep his health care reform intact. When Arizona came out with their immigration law, Obama was the first to call on the Supreme Court to overturn it, but when it comes to his own law he denounces the Supreme Court as having no real authority because they are not an elected body. Which is it Mr. President, do you support the Supreme Court or denounce it?
