Duhhhh... we've got two parties.....

In this post I included numerous links to the Rick Perry/Aga Khan Islamic curriculum for Texas public schools. The links were to the Google cache of the curriculum material, because several days ago, after we began calling attention to it, the curriculum was taken offline. Accordingly I wrote in that post:
One very odd thing about the Aga Khan/Perry curriculum: since this whole brouhaha started, it has been taken offline. It is now available only in cached form here. Why was it taken down? Was the Perry camp embarrassed by the material that Pamela Geller published here, showing it to be a whitewash of Islamic teaching and history? Or was it taken down because it really is, as Ace says, so "biased against Muslims it will reinforce perceptions [Perry] is some kind of rootin'-tootin' six-gun shooting cowboy yahoo"?
Is either option favorable to Perry? If it was taken down because it's a dhimmi whitewash, Perry is tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right, and those evaluating Perry should be concerned about his naivete in dealing with the Aga Khan. If it was taken down because it was too honest about Islam and will thus hurt Perry with the dhimmi/Norquist faction of the GOP, Perry is again tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right: he is not able or willing to stand up to Norquist and his Islamic supremacist allies. So which is it? What are they hiding? And does it matter? Either way, the deep-sixing of the curriculum proves that we were right about Perry all along.
Now that impression is compounded by the fact that even the cached links no longer work: the Perry/Aga Khan curriculum has been completely wiped from the web. Pamela Geller has screenshots here, however.
I suspect that the curriculum has been taken down because it is a whitewash of Islamic texts, teachings and history. After all, as I showed here, it relies on compromised "authorities" such as Carl Ernst, John Esposito, and Michael Sells, among others. The apologists for Perry have not explained and cannot explain why, if this curriculum is as innocuous or even as Islamorealistic as they claim, it has been wiped from the web. What is the Perry camp hiding? And why?
By the way, of course it was to be mandatory according to the STIPULATIONS OF THE FEDERAL GRANTS! Did I NOT SAY, the teaching of the Arabic culture and language to every 5th grader? That was the TERMS OF THE FEDERAL GRANTS that had nothing to do with Perry or Khan.
What power he wields already! Just imagine if he becomes President!
“How can Freeper be so confused by the facts.”
They want to be due to prediposed hatred for a certain candidate?
Duhhhh... we've got two parties.....
“Perry is finished.”
It’s fun to dream, huh?
Yes, it was. I remember all the news articles quite clearly.
Since there was nothing untoward in the course, I have no idea why they think Perry took it down.
Maybe because it was the outline to prepare a course, it was out-of-date and when it became public knowledge, they didn’t want the information around.
i’ve found lots of out-of-date school stuff that gets deleted after I call the school board about it. Nobody is very good about keeping their web stuff up-to-date.
Anyway, I’m sure that one of Perry’s opposition was smart enough to save off the curriculum — or maybe not, since the actual information wasn’t damning at all like they claimed, so they are probably happy it’s gone.
“I don’t claim to know the facts, but you guys sound like truthers.”
No...they aren’t that bright or imaginative.
Now, who's calling whom a 'truther'?
When will some brave politico stand up and expose the extent to which Saudi money has weakened our country?
I’ve wondered about that, because the Aga Khan stuff was innocuous, but then there was all this stuff about muslim language which had nothing to do with it, but people were confusing it with the Aga Kahn-sponsored class that was written by a pro-Israel christian professor who struggled to make sure it wasn’t too anti-Muslim.
Really, Reason? I am glad you deemed it so, like Nancy deems laws to pass....
I guess you are opposed to muslim centers. Stupid 1st amendment.
Houston Chronicle:
Dallas Morning News”
“Plans are under way to build a mosque in Frisco . East Plano Islamic Center opened recently, too.
Ismaili Jamaatkhana, a 30,000-square-foot Islamic facility in Plano, was inaugurated in 2006 by Gov. Rick Perry and Plano Mayor Pat Evans.
And the list goes on.”
Um. These are real MSM articles I just posted.
You know, some of us might not have become sooo suspicious of Perry; but for the fact that we feel rushed and that Perry’s being foisted upon us, much as the current messiah in the Whitehouse was.
I love how these “true conservatives” are only for 1st amendment rights for some but not for all.
bump.
Oh yes, these Houston Chronicle and Dallas Morning News pieces are just figments of our imagination?
Do you ever site sources that are NOT lefty trash?
