» REVEALED: Nancy Pelosi Blocked Credit Card Reform While Investing Millions in Exclusive Visa Stock Offering – Big Government

Color me surprised! I’ve tried to find as much information online about this as I can.  I’ve tried to find links from both sides to get more information.  As usual, the main stream media has been pretty quiet.  I found mostly conservative blogs and news sites quoting an article by Wynton Hall from BigGovernment.com.  I’ve noted most of the links where I didn’t find anything from Big Government.  I’m including all the links below:

Ronald Reagan on the Global Jihad: “Worldwide Muslim Fundamentalist Revolution”

Reagan Saw This Coming
Pamela Geller
Ronald Reagan saw this coming, and Barack Obama is making his prediction come true. Moammar Gaddafi got what was coming to him. Of course, the concern now is the jihadist and al-Qaeda elements that are positioned to replace him.

Moammar Gaddafi got what was coming to him.  Of course, the concern now is the jihadist and al-Qaeda elements that are positioned to replace him.  Years ago, Ronald Reagan called Gaddafi the “mad dog of the Middle East” and said that his goal was a worldwide “Muslim fundamentalist revolution.” 

Many others besides Gaddafi shared that goal, including those who opposed him, and with Gaddafi’s death, that goal is closer than ever to being realized.  Here we are, thirty years after Reagan made these remarks, in the throes of a worldwide Muslim fundamentalist revolution.

Reagan said that those who wanted this “Muslim fundamentalist revolution” were enemies of the United States — for them it was “like climbing Mount Everest, because we are here.”  And in a sense, that is exactly the reason why.  I don’t know if Reagan ever read the Qur’an, but his remark indicates that he knew the larger reason why they were targeting the kafir, the great infidel nation.  It was “because we are here” — i.e., because we constitute the foremost obstacle to the overriding goal of Islam: we stand in the way of a world living under Islamic law.

Still, Reagan’s warning of a worldwide “Muslim fundamentalist revolution” was prescient.  Can you imagine the Muslim Brotherhood stooge in the White House ever uttering those words?  Imagine: Ronald Reagan saw back then the objective of Islamic imperialism.  He may not have appreciated the full scope of it, but he understood it.  Clearly he believed that it could be contained.  Reagan came into office, and the Ayatollah Khomeini released our hostages; the Islamic world was intimidated, cowed by Reagan’s testicular fortitude.

Reagan made this statement before the jihad attack on the Khobar Towers, before the jihad attack on the USS Cole, before the first attack on the World Trade Center, and the 7/7 attack in London, and the 3/11 attack on a train station in Madrid.  Reagan warned of a worldwide “Muslim fundamentalist revolution” before the Islamic jihad massacre committed by Major Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas; before the Islamic jihad massacre in Bali; before the jihad massacre in Mumbai, and before the numerous thwarted attempts at jihad attacks in the United States over the last two years.  Reagan spoke before the nearly 18,000 Islamic jihad terrorist attacks that have been committed since 9/11.

Reagan spoke before there was a significant Muslim presence in Europe.  Now the threat and intimidation by Muslims throughout the countries of the European Union is growing at every level.  And now Gaddafi is gone, but the threat of a worldwide “Muslim fundamentalist revolution” remains, and is stronger than ever, thanks to Barack Obama.

Jihadists, who were prominent among the resistance to Gaddafi from the very beginning of attempts to overthrow hisgovernment, recently revealed their goal of taking power in a post-Gaddafi government and creating an Islamic state.  U.S. intelligence agencies announced this early in September.  Where were these government agencies five months before that, when the uprisings began and were being universally hailed as bringing democracy and freedom?

If I knew, why didn’t Barack Obama and the U.S. intelligence services?  Readers of my website AtlasShrugs.com are not surprised by what is happening in Libya, as I warned about it back in March and several times in April.  Yes, I told ya so.  And I told you back in February that the Muslim Brotherhood would be taking over in Egypt.

Obama did this. Was there any thought in Washington to what we were doing in Libya when it became evident back in March that al-Qaeda was in and among the “rebel” faction?  The question still has not been answered: how is al-Qaeda preferable to Gaddafi?

Obama spent billions of your money to assist in the Islamic takedown of yet another country.  America, under Barack Obama’s “leadership,” did this.  And America will pay.  The Obama legacy will not only be the degenerate spending which led to the economic downfall of this country; he will also go down in history as the first anti-freedom leader whose foreign policy led to serious attempts to reestablish a universal caliphate across the world.  I predicted all this in my book, The Post American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America.

Uncle Joe is at it again. He is, once again, using the tried and true Democrat tactic of trying to scare people into letting the government spend more money. It is time to pass yet another failed stimulus bill, and if you don’t pass it, oh, you don’t even want to know the horrors the country will face.

The argument, this time, is: “If you don’t let the Federal government tax and spend even MORE of your hard earned money, local police forces won’t have enough cops to be able to stop the skyrocketing number rapes that will occur. Only the Federal government can solve problems, you see.”

Mr. Biden, the Federal government doesn’t need to spend more of our money to stop rapes, the second amendment already allows the citizens of this country to stop rapes from happening to them.

If Federal spending can stop rapes, then I wonder how many rapes would’ve been stopped with the wasted Solyndra money.

Superintendent Deasy Issues Statement on Employee’s Controversial Remarks

Los Angeles – As Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), I want to emphasize that we condemn the remarks made recently by Patricia McAllister.

Her comments, made during non-work time at a recent protest rally, were her private opinions and were not made in the context of District services.  At LAUSD, we recognize that the law is very protective of the freedom of speech rights of public employees when they are speaking as private citizens during non-working time.

I further emphasize to our students, who watch us and look to us for guidance, to be role models and to represent the ideals by which LAUSD lives, that we will never stand for behavior that is disrespectful, intolerant or discriminatory.

As a day-to-day substitute teacher, Ms. McAllister was an at-will employee.  As of today, she is no longer an employee of the LAUSD.

GetOffWallStreet.com led a campaign to hold the LAUSD accountable. Kudos to them, and to the LAUSD for doing the right thing.

Will the rest of the #Occupy movement follow in repudiating the bigotry in its midst?
