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 wasn't all that politically involved, but now 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.

    "Muslim Brotherhood efforts to insinuate Islamic law, bit-by-bit and piece-by-piece, into the United States, and to foster acceptance of the idea that American law must give way whenever Islamic law contradicts it. Groups that are assumed to be "moderate" are fronting this effort -- but now one Senator is pushing back.

    "Senator Pushes DOJ on Islamists," from IPT News, November 19

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) should cut off outreach efforts with organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamist extremist groups, a report from a ranking Senate subcommittee member recommends.

    "Justice Denied: Waste & Mismanagement at the Department of Justice," is an 86-page report issued in October by the office of U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), the ranking Republican on the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security. But just as important is its detailing of DOJ outreach with questionable Islamist organizations, including two which are unindicted co-conspirators in a major Hamas support investigation. Those efforts should stop, the report said:

    "It is the legal right and obligation of DOJ to bar, withhold or rescind funding for or collaboration with any entities that do not advance the mission of the Department, which is the security and stability of the United States, including its culture, its people, and its form of government."

    Coburn has been focused on issues of Islamist outreach. In July, he and Arizona U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl wrote to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, asking that State set a deadline for cutting off funding to organizations with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The letter also asked that procedures be created to prevent future funding of such groups."
