Islam in America

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:53:34 -0800

Do we need to have a discussion about Islam in America? Do we need to ask these question:

1). When Christian fundamentalists and so called "Far Right Christians" came to power during the Ronald Reagan presidency, why did the media paint these Christians as extremists and dangerous?

2). And now, after the Ft Hood murders and hostile acts from Muslim leaders in the Middles East, why is everyone going out of their way to not accuse Islam of being extreme and dangerous?

3). Will President Obama halt all investigations into the Ft Hood murderer's extremist background?

Newsweek bashes Sarah Palin - again.

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:53:48 -0800

Sarah Palin must have the press and other notable nabobs worried, because they continue to bash her. Are they afraid that she will somehow be a driving force in the next election? Gosh, this photo would make a great campaign poster for Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin's new book "Going Rogue" is set for release on Nov. 17 and with that will likely come a media blitz of epic proportions. However, based on the cover of the Nov. 23 issue of Newsweek, someone felt a response was warranted.

The wizards of smart at Newsweek took an image from a shoot of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine for the cover and splashed the headlines, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?" and "She's Bad News for the GOP - and For Everybody Else, Too."

The Central Valley is being...

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:07:03 -0800

The Central Valley is being shut off. Water used to irrigate crops is being diverted to the sea. Environmentalists have won the day and have dried up and destroyed crops all over the Central Valley. Shame on our government.

The Central Valley of California, after having been attacked by radical environmental law that aims to put animal life over the lives of humans, has now been abandoned by our federal government.
This prosperous region that produces over 14% (25% according to some estimates) of the nation’s food supply and as much as 99% of certain products like pistachios, cannery tomatoes and almonds, is being dried up not by drought or natural causes, but by our own government.
Thanks to Congress and the federal court’s misuse of the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and two subsequent biological opinions, the vast majority of water that normally flows to California’s West-Side Central Valley farmers has been shut off during the growing season in order to protect a two-inch baitfish called the Delta Smelt, and a handful of other marine species.
To make matters worse, in 2010 through the implementation of the San Joaquin River Settlement, and the betrayal by environmental groups and the government, water that normally flows to farms and cities on the East-Side of the Central Valley will be diverted into the Delta and ultimately into the ocean. All this will be done in an attempt to restore a long-lost salmon run, which experts say will not reestablish.

Islam is a powerful force...

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:43:50 -0800

Islam is a powerful force in America. This is evident by the reluctance of our leaders to speak out on Islamic organizations and their funding from terrorist groups.

A powerful new book is wreaking havoc with the reputation myriad Islamic organizations in America have been carefully cultivating for years.
Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Trying to Islamize America reveals that, far from the moderate Muslim “mainstream” they profess to represent, these entities are associated with the insidious Muslim Brotherhood - an international criminal enterprise that has the self-professed mission of “destroying Western civilization from within.”

America and China

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:27:23 -0800

Will America be able to turn the corner and stabilize or will Communist China rule the world? Will America start using its creative energy to produce products that the world wants to buy? Will America stop outsourcing production capacity and jobs to China? Will America's government and corporate leaders stop being greedy and invest time and energy into making America an economic powerhouse once again? Good questions all.

The rapid growth is in the East today. Albert Keidel, author of China's Economic Rise: Fact and Fiction, predicts that China's economy will surpass that in the U.S. by 2035 and be twice its size by 2050. Keidel calls attention to China's "money-making machine" because it has ready at hand the funds to build the infrastructure to sustain rapid growth.
The U.S.--loaded as it is with too much debt, a damaged banking system and high unemployment--does not have China's resources. Warns Keidel: "China's likely success will eventually bring an end to America's global economic pre-eminence."

Political correctness has run amok...

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:27:58 -0800

Political correctness has run amok again. It seems that anyone can be fired and treated like a criminal without due process. Sexual harassment has become a joke. Because, the offense is in the eye of the beholder. And, a standard of guilt for sexual harassment is quite subjective. Without the rules of presenting legal evidence and providing due process to accused, the entire issue of sexual harassment is questionable.

Under pressure from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), East Georgia College (EGC) has withdrawn an unfounded charge of "sexual harassment" against a professor who criticized the school's sexual harassment policy.
EGC President John B. Black dismissed Professor Thomas Thibeault from campus and had him escorted from campus by police in August. Thibeault was treated as a dangerous criminal without a hearing or even knowing his accuser or the charges or evidence against him.

Broccoli is a cancer fighting...

nobody@vox.com(Rosemead Herald) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:13:56 -0800

Broccoli is a cancer fighting food.
Cauliflower, kale and and brussels sprouts are also cancer fighting foods.

Active ingredient(s): Sulforaphane, among others

Why eat it? It turns out mom was right: You should really eat your broccoli. In fact, all cruciferous vegetables, like cauliflower, kale and brussels sprouts, appear to offer anti-cancer benefits. Although it’s still not clear which of the many beneficial chemicals or compounds found in broccoli is most responsible for protecting your health, sulforaphane has been the most widely investigated.
