WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday condemned the suicide bombing of a mosque in southeastern Iran, saying those responsible must be held accountable. Two suicide bombers killed at least 28 people in Thursday's bombing.
"The murder of innocent civilians in their place of worship is an intolerable offense, and those who carried it out must be held accountable," Obama said in a statement.
It's a shame the president won't condemn terrorist acts against America, or even call them what they are.
Remember his November 6, 2009 statement, "We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," when Nidal Hassan murdered American servicemembers at Fort Hood? This in spite of many eyewitness reports of Hasan shouting "Allahu Akbar!" as he opened fire.
Remember in November.

Kill the Ground Zero Mosque -- The Ad NBC and CBS Will Not Air
I was in New York City the week before the attack, for a marketing conference. On Sunday, September 9, I took the opportunity to sightsee, making the Circle Line Tour to Ellis Island and visiting Lady Liberty. I chose to walk back to my hotel, traveling through the shadows of the World Trade Center Twin Towers. Two days later I watched in horror as the terrorists found their targets.
I returned to the City early November and walked from Grand Central Station to Ground Zero. There were literally thousands of us, heading south, preferring to walk rather than take a taxi. We were sharing where we were from and where we were the day of the attacks. The mood was respectful and reserved, quiet, but still conversational.
As we moved closer to Ground Zero we could smell the odor of burnt... everything. Our conversations quieted. When we got within a few blocks, we began to see manhole covers blown off, debris, destruction. All conversation stopped. Many wept openly, including me. It was hard to breathe, and not just because of the smell and heaviness of the air.
Somewhere between Grand Central and Ground Zero we changed from Americans visiting the site of our Nation's worst attack since Pearl Harbor... to Americans making a pilgrimage to show respect to those who perished.
Now those who make pilgrimage to mecca choose to build a mosque upon what should be for all Americans hallowed ground, ground which is no less holy than the Fields of Gettysburg.
Kill the Ground Zero mosque.
Jeff Sessions on Kagan: "Filibuster Is Not Off The Table"
by Jason Mattera
Human Events 07/15/2010
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) told HUMAN EVENTS that he would not rule out filibustering Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. In an exclusive interview, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said that a "filibuster is not off the table," but cautioned that such a procedural tactic would only be employed under "extraordinary circumstances." Asked if Kagan's penchant for judicial and political activism hit the benchmark of "extraordinary circumstances," Sessions wouldn't commit, but noted how Kagan did not "help herself in her testimony." If confirmed, Sessions said that Kagan could very well be one of five judges "who can actually redefine the meaning of those words [the Constitution] that protect our liberties."
"Frankly, I don't think she assuaged our concerns at the [confirmation] hearing."

I just sent the Senator this message:
Please FILIBUSTER the Kagan nomination. She is not qualified. She is an activist. She does not love our Nation. She does not respect the Constitution. "We the People" are standing against Obama's socialist agenda and we need YOUR help to succeed. You are our last line of defense to prevent an activist judge from redefining our Constitution and seizing our liberties. Please filibuster Kagan and any other political activist nominee.

United States Cyber Command -- 'Perfect Citizen" Program Places Sensors Throughout the Web
United States Plans Cyber Shield for Utilities, Companies
"'Perfect Citizen" Program Places Sensors Throughout the Web."

Orwellian Speak. Soviet Speak. Big Brother is Watching. Obama already has the ability to shut down Americans' access to the Internet for up to 120 days without Congressional oversight or approval. This, coming after the recess apointment of Dr. Donald Berwick to be the "Redistribution and Rationing Medicare Czar", is yet another in-your-face challenge to our Constitutional system of checks and balances.

Despite your massive opposition there are some Raleigh lawmakers that are continuing to push a massive expansion of using taxpayer money to fund political campaigns!!

Let’s be clear. We must stop this movement now. The other side will not rest.

In God We Trust
It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...
George Washington
The Thanksgiving Proclamation
October 3, 1789
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
