Have you read the OIC's 10 Year Plan of Action?
http://www.oic-oci.org/10y/en/


(23) POA I.7.3.
Endeavor to have the United Nations adopt an international resolution to counter Islamophobia, and call upon all States to enact
laws to counter it, including deterrent punishments.


47. Have an international resolution issued by the UN to combat Islamophobia.

SEE ALSO NOTES FROM:
OIC International Conference on Terrorism:
Dimensions, Threats and Countermeasures

Concluding Observations from the Chair, November 2007 Tunis


As Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsangolu, OIC Secretary General noted, there is a growing need to be more concerned with tackling “defamatory campaigns that seek to incite a particular civilization against another, thereby inflaming violence, hatred and extremism, and ultimately leading to terrorism”.

[COMMENT: Another case of shifting responsibility for acts of violence from perpetrator to victim.]

The OIC Secretary General went on to say:

“As reiterated by the OIC, the international community must counter campaigns of calumny against Islam and Muslims to prevent the spread of Islamophobia which attempts to cause a rift between civilizations, a situation that has become a new form of racial discrimination.”

[COMMENT: Where is the race in this racism?]

Actually, Madoff should have been discovered by FINRA, not the SEC. You forget, Wall Street is a self regulating industry. Never blamed Bush, just all came together on his watch.I actually like the man. Iraq? We're still there. The Patriot Act? I would reference the Team Sergeant's post in another forum. If the people would have screamed 7 years ago, a lot of issues we face today, economically, would not exist. We might not have a democrat controlled congress and White House either. Sorry, but the Republican Party I voted for for 30 years has died or retired. It has been replaced by self serving hipocrites. I am hoping a new face will pop up and save the Party. Maybe Bobby Jindal. He is a financial conservative and a skilled administrator. More importantly, he has proven he has the courage to take on entrenched interests. Just have to see.

Any promising conservative who tries to rise to power will be Borked by the MSM. Bork, Thomas, Quayle, Palin, just like them, any new up and comers will be personally attacked and their credibility destroyed.

That is just the way it is.

The MSM picking...

The MSM is hard at work right now playing up Mittens, the G-man and Huckster.

The MSM wants a good bruising fight in the Republican Primary with the conservative vote split between people like Jindal, Palin and a couple more on the right.

That way the Republicans field another "moderate" like McCain.

No Democrat primary in 2012 so there will be lots of crossover votes to "help" with the choice.

It is not rhetoric - right or left wing - that will create danger. Rather, it will be desperation.

LINK

In my opinion, present approaches will exacerbate the employment trends depicted at the above link. If that is the case, then - again, in my opinion - recovery will be deferred.

Rhetorical Question: Who is more radical than the fellow who lost his job, his house, and has hungry children?

Rhetorical Answer: I don't know.

Perhaps, instead of focusing on the rhetoric, we should think very hard about why following the same policies that haven't worked for Japan for two decades are somehow going to work for us. Then maybe we should change those policy choices.

The article sounds like a bunch of whining.

Yeah, the libs won some temporary political power.
The real power is ultimately held by those who would pull the trigger.

They can never fully enforce their will and this is just a temper tantrum expressing the realization of this fact.
The people are too well armed; LEO and military wouldn't back the swift, unconstitional action required to consolidate power during their limited tenure.

It's almost like the founding fathers put the division of powers, the election cycles, and the 2nd amendment in the Constitution for an express purpose.

There is movement afoot...

There is talk of another in "The Free State".

Steele's nomination would, IMO, have the Dims scratching their heads as far as a strategy for direct personal attacks since the race card would be null & void.

The Obama administration inherited 2 wars and a financial crisis of immense proportions. Almost immediately certain peolple began to assault him for a variety of reasons. Some even publicly stating they hoped he failed. So NOW the screamers decide to scream! Why not 6-7 years ago? Race? Or something even worse? I think a little of both. And there are plenty of people in this country who are willing to be blindly led.

You are lost.

Since Obama took office Steele has made some incredibly stupid statements for being the head of the RNC.

He appears to be trying to get the MSM to like him. Ask McCain how that worked for him.

Steele is an idiot and is no conservative.

I could go with J.C. Watts or Condi Rice, among many others.

The Dims have been running Congress since 2007. I see them trying to transfer blame for a number of issues they supported and voted for over the years.

That article is just another piece of evidence supporting the fact that the "other side" has nothing. "Racism" is their trump card... But it's also the only one they know how to play.

And should we be so inclined to attempt electing a black conservative he'll be labeled as a "house nigger" or "not really black".

How do you fight an enemy that uses lies and distortion to sway the weak minded, and posesses most of the most prominent pulpits with which to spew their bull?

The QP's around here likely have a better idea than I. The ultimate question is whether or not the first two "boxes" have any further ability to save us.
