Jan is a 50 year old woman from NEW YORK, USA

As my name suggests, I live in NYC. Became a news junkie after 9/11. I am obsessed with researching issues, being an educated voter and hopefully I will educate others in the process. I hope we never go back to living with a false sense of security or consider using appeasement when conducting foreign policy. We can never go back to treating terrorism like it is a law enforcement problem like we did when Clinton was in office. Never again. I do like to have fun and I do post funny videos and music which is a great distraction from the serious business of politics, worldwide terrorism and the fight against Socialism and Liberalism in the US. So I'm not all doom and gloom.. Enjoy.

  • MEMRI: Special Dispatch - No. 2594

    Rated 07:08pm 1 review middle east, poets, iraq, saddam, torture memri.org

    ""Take a poet like Su'ad Al-Sabbah - the Kuwaiti princess who came to Iraq, and wrote a poem dedicated to Saddam Hussein... or rather, she wrote an article dedicated to Saddam Hussein. She wrote: 'A poet who does not write in favor of the war and the leader is a traitor. We must persecute him and burn all his poems.' Imagine that this woman, who should be talking about emotions and beauty, talks about burning and killing?! She was Kuwaiti and she said this in the 90s. She wrote in a poem about the sun and the sea: '... I feel like marrying a sword.' Sister, what is this? What is this cruelty? You want to marry a sword?! She dedicated the poem to Saddam Hussein." "

    "Applied Moral Relativism

    In the dark halls of denial and confusion once known as the learning and planning centers of great public and private institutions across this great land, it is believed "altogether incorrectly" that Moral Relativism has no victims, only beneficiaries.

    The horror at Fort Hood occurred for the same reason that infrastructure contracts for improvement of American cities are granted to foreign firms amidst a great economic disaster--because , as a culture, we do not value ourselves above others. This relativism is what "Moral Relativism," and "Multiculturalism" are all about.

    We do not see our value in comparison to other cultures because to make such a comparison is considered wrong, intolerant, and bigoted. Such comparisons are not allowed due to our embrace of multiculturalism and Moral Relativism.

    We no longer can identify right/wrong, good/evil, etc. We can only embrace the concept of total inclusiveness; though this is an extraordinarily counter-historical radical concept. We are inclusive to the point where traitors, lunatics, killers, and haters are tolerated because they are simply "different" rather than wrong or dangerous or evil.

    Our culture appears to have accepted the false premise that if we are but radically inclusive and uber-tolerant than all of our adversaries will love us for our inclusiveness and tolerance. This idea is a negation of the history of humanity, and the nature of humanity itself.

    We live in a Utopian fantasy based upon the denial of the nature of humanity.

    In a recent article in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa, Saudi liberal Muhammad Jamil Kutbi wrote that the Arabs and Muslims are unjustified in regarding themselves as morally superior to the West. He argued that although Islam champions values such as equality, justice and charity, the West actually surpasses the Muslim world at implementing these values.

    "Another issue Im trying to address is how the Arab world is filled with Holocaust denial. This past summer I went to Auschwitz, and I am working to produce the first-ever Arabic documentary about the Holocaust. I want to explain to Muslims in their own language exactly what happened."

    Trucking in Cuckoostan:

    "You are paying the people in the local areas--some are warlords, some are politicians in the police force--to move your trucks through." Hanna explained that the prices charged are different, depending on the route: "We're basically being extorted. Where you don't pay, you're going to get attacked.

    One of the big problems for the companies that ship American military supplies across the country is that they are banned from arming themselves with any weapon heavier than a rifle. That makes them ineffective for battling Taliban attacks on a convoy. "They are shooting the drivers from 3,000 feet away with PKMs," a trucking company executive in Kabul told me. "They are using RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades] that will blow up an up-armed vehicle. So the security companies are tied up. Because of the rules, security companies can only carry AK-47s, and that's just a joke. I carry an AK--and that's just to shoot myself if I have to!"
  • Andrew Tallman : Whos Legislating Morality Now? -...

    Rated Nov 24 1 review ethics, healt insurance, bible, obama, legislation, morality townhall.com

    From the page: "President Obama hasn't merely claimed that we must (read, its morally necessary that we) help people get insurance, he's actually gone a significant step further by grounding his moral vision in arguments from the Bible. The president has said that opposition to his plans comes from people who are unwilling to obey the Biblical mandate to be our brothers keeper. Hes not just legislating morality. He's doing so on the basis of religion. If a conservative dared to offer such rationale, Republicans Seek Theocracy would be the Newsweek cover, not some picture of a former vice-presidential candidate in running shorts. "

    A grinning McCain then asked, "You would not describe that as a death panel?"

    Barrasso replied, "Some people might.""

    File this under "Sick and twisted..."

    "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians began taking down their statues of Josef Stalin, the mass murderer who killed millions of people. Astonishingly, in America, the National D-Day Memorial is honoring Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at its museum in Bedford, Virginia.

    This misguided move will haunt millions of Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Jews, etc. whose families were massacred by this Soviet tyrant. Stalin's killing machine slaughtered more people than Adolf Hitler and the Nazis did."
