Pelosi and Ellison to visit Syria

Leading a group of lawmakers on a 9 day Mideast tour is Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

The White House criticised the group's planned stop in Syria, a country the US government accuses of sponsoring terrorism.
'That's a really bad idea,' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Also in the group is Keith Ellison, Muslim congressman and Nation of Islam supporter from Minnesotastan.

They plan to visit Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia during the tour, Ellison's office said. Details were being kept secret for security reasons, it said.

Security reasons? Are they afraid that the military defunding they just attempted to impose will make them more vulnerable in the mideast? Seems to be a stand-off between the Dems who loaded an emergency funding bill for the military with pork and an arbitrary deadline for withdrawal, and GWB, who says he will veto it.
So Pelosi and friends decide to face down GWB all the way from Syria, a state sponsor of terrorism? How appropriate. Maybe they would like to volunteer to go to Iran where they would be hailed as western heroes. Maybe even stay for a while, visit and have tea with the British Navy prisoners who are now in Day 8 of the newest Iranian hostage crisis?

Minnesotastan Elects Hamas Democrat

The Dems may have a bit of trouble holding their slim majority together once they all become familiar with each other this January. After all, quite a few of the new crop come from what I would have suspected to be "unusual" backgrounds for Democrats, to say the least.
From former Republican and Navy Secretary to President Reagan, Webb of Virginia, straight arrow Tester in Montana, to Nation of Islam(1) and CAIR supported Muslim extremist Keith Ellison way up there in the hinterlands of Minnesotastan.

Muslim Extremist Elected to Congress
To paraphrase a 16 million dollar Blagojevich slogan, "What are the voters thinking?"

Keith Ellison, CAIR, and Hamas
Ellison served as Nation of Islam(2) spokesman at a 1997 public hearing where he defended -- in his own words -- "the truth" of a government official's supposed comment that "Jews are the most racist white people." Only learned recently and far more troubling is Mr. Ellison's seemingly tight connection with Nihad Awad, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whom he met almost two decades ago at the University of Minnesota.

How will Dick Durbin and Chuckles Schumer deal with this dilemma?
According to Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's second-leading Democrat, CAIR "is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its association with groups that are suspect." Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has stated flatly that CAIR "has ties to terrorism." Mr. Schumer has special disdain for Mr. Awad and CAIR's other co-founder, Omar Ahmad, saying in a 2003 hearing that both men have "intimate connections with Hamas."Despite representing the Nation of Islam(3) and currently affiliating with Mr. Awad, Mr. Ellison has received the unabashed support of the Minnesota Democrat-Farm-Labor Party and its activists.

Speaking of Ellison's supporters in Minnesotastan, this video of his acceptance speech shows them enthusiastically chanting "Allahu Akbar."

CAIR: Islamists Fooling the Establishment

CAIR: 'Moderate' friends of terror
CAIR even includes at least one person associated with terrorism in its own ranks. On Feb. 2, 1995, U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White named Siraj Wahhaj as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in the attempt to blow up New York City monuments. Yet CAIR deems him "one of the most respected Muslim leaders in America" and includes him on its advisory board.
As if this weren’t enough to question the choice of Minnesota voters, as a state legislator Ellison supported and defended a convicted cop-killer and leader of a violent gang. Ellison used thug-like language to attack law enforcement officials as racists saying “we don’t get no justice, you don’t get no peace.” Ellison also supports and demands freedom for another convicted cop-killer named Assata Shakur, who lives in Cuba and remains on the FBI’s most wanted list.

The new Democrat majority is shaky at best, and I wonder how quickly we'll see the Liberal smiles fade under the the light of day exposure they usually don't get from the Main Stream Media. The ACLU and other liberal groups, Muslim extremists, and ex-Republicans will hold tight in their common disdain (actually, all but hatred) for this administration and conservatism in general?

Maybe... maybe not. I think that "San Fran" Nancy and "Land Dealer" Harry are going to have their hands full.

Political Correctness gets corrected

Would you put your family's life at risk for political correctness? Would you be comfortable flying with suspicious acting Arabic speaking men wearing jumpsuits and heavy leather jackets on your plane? I wouldn't. And I don't care if CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations, a spinoff of the IAP) cares either. Even Dicky Durbin and Chuckles Schumer have their doubts about CAIR.

Passengers refuse to fly unless Muslims disembark
Muslim leaders yesterday spoke of their dismay after a passenger mutiny in which several British families refused to travel on a plane with two Asian men.

British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.
