I suspect there will be Muslim congressmen from New Jersey and Michigan soon as well, dear - there are large Arab populations in both states.
Love, Ivan

"Everyone say a prayer for the people of Iraq...they must be terrible frightened today."
I think there's a lot of Americans who are also terribly frightened today. I know I'm one of them. I'm so afraid of what will happen now in Iraq and Israel and even here in the U.S. Syria, Iran and N. Korea got exactly what they wanted. I feel like I've been punched in the gut.

I'll lay a bet that Muhammed Achmed al Tikrit bin Skyhook Ellison will be assigned to the House Armed Services Committee or the House Select Committee on Intelligence. Any takers?
After all, we're now in the Twilight Zone.

And it doesn't look like we will get any judges to replace the liberal ones... who wouldn't look at Ellison's or CAIRs connections.
Well, ammo run.

I don't know. Compared to Wellstone, this guy is probably a conservative. Most Muslims are pretty conservative on social issues. For Minnesota he may be the best we can do. ;)

Leave it to Minnesota to elect a mouthpiece for Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.

I'm sure that Rep. Bennie Thompson, D Mississippi, who will probably now be appointed as the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee will probably will find a place for Keith Ellison on his committee.

I feel the same way...but I've got to stay focused and remember what's important and procect those I care for the best I can.
The wolves that have been at our door since 9/11 and beyond are sharpening their claws right now.
They think they have an opening again to this country and we need to make sure it stays shut.

As if I weren't chilled to the marrow, I am now.
We are a tiny, tiny minority though who take heed.
