Cantor Urges Tolerance On Gays, Muslims

In an interview with BuzzFeed, a top Republican leader says the GOP needs to be “the party of inclusion.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Thursday urged his party, and the nation, to guard against intolerance on issues ranging from gay marriage to the role of Muslims in the government, arguing the country’s diversity of opinion and acceptance are part of America’s basic fabric.

“There can’t be some kind of monolithic opinion handed down from the government or a political party. I don’t think we’re monolithic beings,” Cantor, a Virginia Republican, said in an interview with BuzzFeed.

But many Republican leaders, including Cantor, are struggling to move past the charged battles on social issues, and to focus the party’s rhetorical energies almost entirely on the economy. Although Cantor did not directly address whether the GOP’s position on gay marriage is hurting its ability to recruit younger voters or broaden its appeal, he argued the issue is part of the broader cultural question of acceptance and tolerance, not only with his party but the society at large.

... When asked if the Republican Party specifically needs to do a better job of accepting opinions on gay marriage and other cultural issues that do not align with party orthodoxy, Cantor said “absolutely.”

“I’ve always said we need to be a party of inclusion not exclusion,” Cantor said. “We need to be promoting tolerance and, you know, as someone who is a religious minority, I sort of grew up with having that mindset, knowing full well that I am in a very distinct way from a religious background, separate and apart from the mainstream of this country.”

Cantor is not alone in having been "brainwashed" about Islam/Sharia; this goes way back and even Bush fell into that trap

If anyone cares to look as to the [ONE] person most responsible for Republicans buying into that "Religion of Pieces" crap and [he] who has cause the greatest harm in advancing Islam/Sharia into the discourse and facilitating "entre" into the White House as well as every other major Gov't Agency, one needs to look no further than that PHONY, RINO, Traitorous, Rat-Bas-Turd.....GROVER NORQUIST

Muslim Brotherhood in America Part 8: Team Obama and the Islamists

Grover Norquist and the undermining of conservatism and America, a tale of greed and sedition. Grover is best known for founding Americans For Tax Reform, at the request of President Ronald Reagan, in 1985. Mr. Norquist has also been executive director of the College Republicans and the National Taxpayers Union.

Grover worked as an economist and Chief Speech Writer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But, Norquist was also active in global politics as well, including his work within the support network for Col. Oliver North.

Norquist has had his fingers in the Islamic Free Market Institute, the advisory board for GOProud, a conservative group that promotes the conservative agenda, for homosexuals, straights, transgendered and their advocates, as well as the American Conservative Union, which sponsors the Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC. Grover is married to Samah Alrayyes, a Muslim and former director of the Islamic Free Market Institute.

Suhael Khan, an affiliate of the Muslims For America, and member of the board at the ACU, which sponsors CPAC, has, along with Norquist, been accused of being influence peddlers for the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic group, based in Egypt, but with global reach and the desire to turn America into an Islamic Caliphate.

Khan, whose father ran a large mosque in Santa Clara California, that catered to Osama Bin Ladens number two Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, was on President George W. Bush’s staff at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks but was quickly moved to the Department of Transportation afterwards.

Norquist is said to have been the one who got Khan into the White House. Khan has also been an advisor to CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, an un-indicted terror co-conspirator, Hamas front group and Muslim Brotherhood affiliate.

According to author Paul Sperry, many in Congress have no idea Khan is a Muslim and affiliated with anti-American groups. Norquist is an enabler for the advancement of Sharia Law in America, providing access to government officials that these jihad affiliated Muslims would not have access to without him.

What Mr. Norquist is doing should cause alarm in the conservative community. Grover is contributing materially to the advancement of Sharia Law in America and his actions meet the definition of sedition.

Norquists Islamic Free Market Institute was funded by the American Muslim Council (AMC).

The AMC was founded by Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is now serving a 23 year prison sentence for terrorism charges. Norquists seditious actions are part of the pre-violent jihad method known as “Dawa” which is part of Islamizing a country, before the final jihad.

Gaffney, explains, “Under dawa, radical Muslims seek to gain positions of influence within the targeted society and routinely lie to non-Muslims about their genuine intentions”. Of course, those in favor of Islam taking part in CPAC have played the “Islamaphobe” card. In turn, I would like to play the “Infidelophobe” card.

Paul Sperry, in his must read book, “Infiltration” highlights Norquist and the meeting he was to lead, between President Bush and a group of nefarious Muslims on September 11, 2001. The only reason the meeting did not take place had to do with Muslims flying planes into American buildings, an open declaration of Jihad upon America. Norquist has a lengthy history of being a tool for Islam and standing against freedom:

He supports:

1. closing GITMO and transferring the prisoners to Illinois.

2. bringing the Blind Sheik to New York for trial.

3. America opening her borders and giving amnesty to all illegal aliens, including those of Islamic nature.

4. Cutting defense spending drastically.

Grover Norquist and Khan’s involvement in CPAC and various Islamic groups that taint all that they do, is written about at length in the book, “Shariah: The Threat To America”. In December, 2003 David Horowitz wrote that Norquist:

… has formed alliances with prominent Islamic radicals who have ties to the Saudis and to Libya and to Palestine Islamic Jihad, and who are now under indictment by U.S. authorities. Equally troubling is that the arrests of these individuals and their exposure as agents of terrorism have not resulted in noticeable second thoughts on Grover’s part or any meaningful effort to dissociate himself from his unsavory friends.

Most recently Mr. Norquist has stated that conservatives should forget all about the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque, as it is not an Islamic victory mosque, which it most clearly is. Seventy percent of Americans oppose the mosque…maybe Norquist isn’t the heralded strategist he is purported to be.

Grover Norquist, from Reagan conservative to Islamic tool; Grover Norquist from patriotic values to financial whore. There can be no other reason Mr. Norquist is turning his back on Constitutional values, other than his pursuit of the all mighty dollar.

Why in the world would he continually support the jihadist movement in America if it weren’t about the money? No one sells out his country without selling out his soul.

Tolerance to the intolerant?

Go, Michele Bachman. You got them worried. DO NOT BACK DOWN.

We all need to let Michelle know we've got her back. We either stand up and let our voices be heard - or bend over.

We Sheeple have to get active. We have fallen into a ‘sit back and watch and let others do the heavy lifting”, expecting them to do it all for us.

oh, and CANTOR has to GO!

Now is the time we can gather a list of the ‘cantors’ and put them on the defeat/retire list. Good grief - they're just fine with the Muslim Brotherhood fully embedded in eh WH and the Homeland security - and Huma has been on the inside - hitched at the hip with hitlery since she was first L. And Major Hussain, the Fort Hood jihardist, was on the board of Homeland Security -

Our gov’t is rife with jihardists making decisions we have to live with - WHY do you think bomb sniffing DOGS are no longer used at airports? Anything to do with Muslims hating dogs = ‘unclean?” Bet your bippy.

And who do you think is laughing their heads off at us accepting the sexual molestation at airports - while moose-slime workers feel up nuns and women in burkas are exempt from molestation?

All in the name of ‘tolerance’ and ‘inclusion” - the new weapons of mass destruction

DO IT NOW

I believe it is time to start forming a soild third party infrastructure for the future to stop the shifting values of the GOPe progressives.

No, don't waste time with a third party. Take over the Republican Party from the inside, just as the socialists took over the Democrat Party from the inside.

Start by becoming a Precinct Committeeman (or whatever the title is in your state). As such, you can vet all candidates for local office. Encourage solid Constitutionalists to run for state and national offices. Support them when they do (yard signs, leaflet blitzes, help them walk your precinct, and last but not least, financial contributions). Once you're known within the Party, run for State Central Committee. That gives you even more clout.

Write letters to the editor (especially your local paper, but also national magazines). Call in to talk shows. State your opinions on blog sites, social networks, etc.) If you get a letter published, note that on Facebook or Twitter, with a link to the publication if possible. After all, the fact you got published is itself news to your social network.

I can't stress too strongly the value of an established Party infrastructure, including people who vote for that Party from force of habit. Don't try to duplicate it. Instead take it over.
