Where is Alan Keyes when we need him?

I just want to point out that it was Keith Ellison of Minnesota who wanted to take the Congressional oath of office on the Koran, NOT Barack Obama.

They don't like being seen for what they are and their real terror is being caught. They are afraid of us really grasping this truth: that the terrorists are almost completely Islamic.

They say "the linking of terrorists and extremists with Islam in a generalized manner is unacceptable" ... I say that linking is completely accurate!!

They kill over perceived insults. How many nuns and Christians did they kill because of the Pope's accurate statements (after they stirred up the bee's nest)?

Ahhh ... but they say look at what we did after they killed Theo van Gogh; don't look at what they did.

No wonder they are a breeding ground for terrorists. I was listening to Rick Santorum today on Doctor Dobson's radio program. He pointed out that we shouldn't be calling this a GWOT -- terror is only a tactic -- this is a war against the Islamofascists. He's right -- we really do need to change the words we are using to describe this. We need to wake up as a nation, and the rest of the world with us.

Your comments are mainly opinion and NOT backed up by the facts. Please do some research on this before you post any more opinions that are at odds with the facts. Here is a short version (and yes, from memory, so please look it up yourself to verify the fine details): Wolfowitz was already in a relationship with this woman BEFORE he took the position (so it was NOT an “office romance”); he brought the relationship up himself BEFORE he took the position — AND he refused to take the position until there was a resolution on this. The resolution (recommended by the bank itself and reviewed and signed off on later by the bank’s ethics committee) was a pay increase plus a promotion plus a transfer to an outside organization. This was all decided on in advance. What was not decided was the amount of pay increase. Wolfowitz more than once asked to be recused from these decisions, but it was finally dumped in his lap. I would agree that the size of the pay increase was a lapse in judgment, but it was not something to hang him over.

I’m wondering who has the ability to start a nationwide petition asking that Pelosi and Waxman be held accountable under the laws of our country — the very laws that they have sworn to uphold?
