A
Message from Pro-Freedom Iranians to Obama
By
Joseph
Klein
When
the Iranian people rose up in June of 2009 to protest the fraudulent
re-election of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, they were brutally
suppressed. Gross human rights abuses have continued during the so-called "moderate"
Rouhani's presidency. Journalists, students, women's rights advocates and
members of civil society languish in jail. Executions have increased. Thus,
President Obama should not hold his breath waiting for a candid response to his
message from the Iranian people suffering under their regime's tyrannical rule.
However, if they could write him a letter, perhaps it would read something like
the following: [more...]
Bush vs. Cruz - Stark Contrast in Strategy
The Jeb Bush strategy appears to be
about getting the top Republican donors to support his potential
campaign. That's why he has been following a so-called shock and awe
campaign with about five dozen fund-raisers in the early months. If Jeb
Bush manages to snag the bulk of major contributors, it might turn out to be a
very small field of presidential candidates after all. Overall, Jeb Bush's
strategy is to leverage the good will associated with his last
name, family friends, advisers, and donor network. Senator Ted Cruz
is following a much different strategy. It appears that he is following
a "disruptive strategy" - in other words, following an approach that
confuses the competition and throws them off guard. If followed properly
and creatively, it can totally beat the competition and do so before they
realize how to react to it. Ted Cruz's early announcement (before April
1st) is disruptive in nature. Why? The answer lies in when
donations are reported. Rather than seek to corral the big donors of the traditional
Republican establishment, Senator Ted Cruz appears to be seeking a large number
of small "retail" donors from small businesses, the tea party, and
everyday voters fed up with Washington. [more...]
Indiana
Gov. Pence and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
By
James
Hirsen
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence recently
signed a piece of legislation into law, Senate Bill 101, which is titled the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The legislation has the specific design of
prohibiting government from interference with an individual's right to freely
exercise his or her religion. According to Gov. Pence "... it essentially
says, if a government is going to compel you to act in a way that violates your
religious beliefs, there has to be a compelling state interest. The U.S. Constitution
and the Indiana Constitution both provide strong recognition of the freedom of
religion but today, many people of faith feel their religious liberty is under
attack by government action," Gov. Pence indicated. Responding to critics,
he told reporters that the bill was "not about discrimination. If I
thought it legalized discrimination in any way I would've vetoed it." [more...]
Harry Reid: The Poster Child for Term Limits
Senator Reid's last few years in the Senate have been so
filled with falls, injuries, medical emergencies and embarrassing statements, I
actually felt sorry for him. I wish him a wonderful retirement. It's time for
golf, grandchildren and cruises to Mexico. Harry Reid clearly made the right
decision for the country, the Senate, the people of Nevada and himself. Then
there's Harry Reid's record. By moving from a pro-gun, NRA-endorsed, "Conservative
Democrat" upon entering the Senate... to Obama's point man for an extreme
left radical agenda, Harry did great damage to the U.S. economy, our children's
future and his own legacy. [more...]
The
UN's Gotta Go
By
Joe
Messina
Why does the President of these
Unites States continue to hold the UN in such high esteem? Talk about a bunch
of self-loving, overpowered failures. They get more things wrong than POTUS
does. Last year Iran was chosen to head up the UN Human Rights Council...
really! That's the same council that, just years before, asked for Human Rights
inspectors to be sent to Iran to investigate numerous human rights violations.
At the time, Iran refused access to the UN inspectors. Does this sound like a
cooperative nation or one that should now be leading the council? I think not. [more...]
Governor
Pence, No Deed Goes Unpunished... Good or Not
Indiana
Governor Mike Pence stirred up a controversy after signing a religious freedom
bill into law this week. The problem is not so much against religious freedom,
but rather that the law could be used by people or companies to discriminate
against others using religion as the basis of their argument. Critics suggest
that this leaves lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans-genders exceptionally open
to being discriminated against (more than they already currently are). The
timing of Pence's bill was poor planning on his part, and very bad for state
business affairs. This comes right as the NCAA Tournament's final four are
about to play, and in the very same year that the nationally popular basketball
tournament is based out of the state of Indiana. When businesses are
threatening to boycott the state, and the state is already paying mega bucks to
host the tournament, it would have been financial suicide for the governor to
sit back and wait for the controversial aftermath of a mess to settle down.
Therefore, the logical thing to do is to take action. The coming days will show
how motivated Governor Pence is towards clarifying the intentions behind his
bill. [more...]
The Big Sham inside a
Possible Kerry-Iran Nuclear Deal
As a key component of a possible
2016 campaign for president, Kerry badly wants a nuclear deal with Iran as he
believes he might win the Nobel Peace Prize for this accord. And that
accomplishment will launch his campaign for the Democratic presidential
nomination. He very well knows that one of the sticking points to this
controversial Iran deal will be on-site inspections of Iranian military sites,
where it is suspected that secret, underground nuclear weapons development is
ongoing in violation of current agreements - despite claims by Tehran that its
nuclear program is solely for "peaceful, civilian purposes." How will
Kerry handle this on-site inspection issue? [more...]
