IBD Op-Ed:
“Science: Experiments performed by a European nuclear research group indicate that the sun, not man, determines Earth’s temperature. Somewhere, Al Gore just shuddered as an unseasonably cool breeze blows by.”
Opinion:
The sun, huh? Who woulda thunk it?
Fox News:
“Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson has been reassigned to a lesser post in the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney for Arizona was also pushed out Tuesday as fallout from Operation Fast and Furious reached new heights.”
Opinion:
Nobody, it seems, EVER gets fired from a government job. And when they are forced to resign in disgrace like Anthony Weiner and David Wu, there is a million dollar retirement plan waiting for them.
So far in the Fast and Furious scandal: a border agent by the name of Brian Terry is dead thanks to the bungling of the Department of Justice, three officials were promoted (instead of being fired), and now the head of ATF is reassigned (instead of being fired). Listen real close and you might hear me screaming.
If this was the Bush administration they would call for George and his whole cabinet to resign. This is a major disgrace and Attorney General Holder has some ‘splaining’ to do.
World Net Daily:
“A rising leader in the radical Islamic movement in Egypt that has become a major political player since the demise of Hosni Mubarak’s regime says Christian churches may need to be blown up and Christians exterminated to allow the advance of Islamic law, or Shariah.”
Opinion:
The happy fellow pictured below is Sheik ‘Adel Shehato who is a senior leader with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terror group. You might remember them from our post last week titled ‘Islamic Jihad Vows To Send Rockets Deep Into Israel.’
Islamic Jihad springs from the Muslim Brotherhood, the Obama administration’s pick to lead Egypt. The sheik was jailed in 1991 because of his political and religious positions but was released earlier this year in the revolution that removed Mubarak.
It seems that with each passing day it becomes clearer that the removal of Mubarak by the Obama administration was either a cataclysmic blunder or a carefully thought-out move. I report you decide.
Associated Press:
“Israel sent two more warships to the Red Sea border with Egypt, the military said Tuesday, part of a military reinforcement there following warnings that militants are planning another attack on southern Israel from Egyptian soil.”
YNet News, WEDNESDAY AUG. 31:
“The Israeli Navy (INF) has decided to boost its presence and patrols near Israel’s maritime border with Egypt due to a viable terror threat in the area, as Iran announced it was set to send its 15th fleet to the Red Sea as well to “convey message of peace and friendship to all countries”.

Opinion:
There were two terror attacks against Israel. In the first attack on August 18, 8 Israelis were killed. In the second attack, on August 29th, 7 Israelis were wounded. Escalation was inevitable. Meanwhile, Egypt is demanding apologies from Israel for perusing the attackers into Egypt which resulted in a confrontation
with Egyptian police, killing as many as five. Iran is showing a message of peace and friendship?
Joel Rosenberg once said that the twin towers of the Middle East are Iran and Egypt. Between the two countries are over 170 million people. We know how Iran feels about the Jewish state but… consider the danger if Egypt’s 80 million people were to turn against Israel as well.
If the progressive left is correct that only 10% of Egyptians are radical, which cannot possibly be, that still makes 8 million radicals that Israel needs to be worried about. That is approx.1 million more people than live in Israel today.
If Egypt takes a radical Islamic turn like Iran, three Biblical wars against Israel come immediately into focus. The invasion of Israel described in Psalm 83:1-8 should be first up and includes Egypt but not Iran. The Iranians are involved in the second war described in Ezekiel 38:1-13 but not Egypt. But Egypt leads the King of the South against the Kings of the North (Iran/Russia) in the final war of Armgeddon just before the return of Christ, Daniel 7:7. 11:40 and Rev.16:12.
It is astounding how the Biblical armies are lining up exactly the way the prophets said they would right in front of our eyes. Remember just 6 months ago, Egypt had a long-standing treaty with Israel and was at peace. I remember a pastor who, when he got excited about the Bible would say, ‘Somebody call somebody!’
Media Research Center:
“More “free-speech” sleight-of-hand is coming from the Obama Administration. Early this week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced they were doing away with what we have called the Censorship Doctrine – the so-called “Fairness” Doctrine. This federal doctrine, a relic from 1949, was imposed to ensure the broadcasters gave equal time to differing political opinions.”
Opinion:
I thought that last week’s Forbes headline ’Fairness Doctrine, R.I.P.’ was odd, but with so much going on, the earthquake in DC, hurricane Irene, and the terror attacks in Tel Aviv , I really didn’t have time to look into it…until now.
Thanks to Brent Bozelle (picture above) of the MRC and a ‘Grass Roots Action Alert’ (link below) the truth is emerging. As Brent points out, “the path to censor radio airwaves has been long paved through the back door.”
Can’t get a bill like cap and trade through Congress? Simple, just get the EPA to step up enforcement of the Clean Air Act and ’Holy Capit, Batman’, it’s cap and trade the easy way. Want to end these pesky bloggers and Christian radio, no problem just get the FCC to back door it in the name of ‘localism, media diversity,’ and a nebulous requirement to ‘serve the public interest.’ Say, that was easy.

Opinion:
The rebels had a lot of help. NATO and Iran? The US and Iran were on the same side? Let that sink in for a moment. In the words of former Fed chief Alan Greenspan, it’s a ‘conundrum.’
Not that Gaddafi wasn’t a murderous, evil dictator responsible for such atrocities as Pan Am flight 103 killing 203 innocent people. He certainly deserves the worst. But the fact that the US was in league with Iran is well…stupid at best and evil at worst. It’s more than a conundrum.
Speechless!
