Folklight Reflections

Smoke and Mirrors in the Halls of DeCeit;While The Beat goes On While there was no "You Lie" hurled at the 'Fresh Prince of Thin Air' ,  Justice Alito of SCOTUS pronounced an Imperial Spin as ' Not True ' It is also "demogoguery of the worst kind...  Where have the Statesmen Gone [?] Neither Party finds or promotes those with this character trait. This was another missed opportunity to show leadership in response to what the vast majority citizens have called for. The term Public Service; BO is fond of using that; conveys an image of SERVING the PUBLI C by being responsive... especially in matters of domestic policy. Thus in grading on a 'curve' the President gets an F until and unless he drops his Marxist/Sal Alinsky ... Dream AP Fact Check on the long winded propaganda HERE: Below is a contextualized summary of the 'lecture' and BO's past year ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning Bell: A Speech Only Washington Could ...

Let's See... An airport shuttle driver from Afghanistan plots to blow up mass transit in New York City. A Jordanian attempts to blow up a Dallas skyscraper. An American fan of, 'The Shoe Bomber', Richard Reid believed he was detonating a truck bomb parked at a federal courthouse in Springfield, Illinois. Anything common between these men, who authorities say are not connected or part of an organized sinister plot(?) Absolutely, Islams Jihad At the UN, Obama personally presided over a Security Council session at which he will, evidently, affirm his commitment to a "world without nuclear weapons" - without evident regard for the fact that the only nation he can possibly denuclearize is OUR OWN!

Reports from Radio Free Asia indicated The Kang Nam 1 initially presumed to be bound for Burma; was refused permission to dock if the cargo ship was carrying weapons or other prohibited materials. US officials in Washington said yesterday they do not know where the ship is headed but it was 250 miles (400 kilometers) south of Hong Kong on Tuesday and slowly heading north. The NK cargo vessel has been trailed by an American warship for more than a week on route towards Burma in what could serve as a successful implementation of the new UN non-proliferation resolution targeting DPRK. Pyongyang re-issued warnings against any attempts to board the Kang Nam 1 saying any such action would be considered an act of war. A US delegation headed by former Ambassador Philip Goldberg left yesterday for Beijing to discuss the UN sanctions. China's cooperation is crucia...

An ominous initiative that has been discussed many times here -- the UN's efforts to silence those who call attention to the ways in which Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify their actions and make recruits -- got attention in, of all places, the New York Daily News!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The United Nations tries to outlaw criticism of Islam Floyd Abrams writing for the Daily News , January 14: Almost 500 years ago, on the wall of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses, characterizing as "madness" the notion that papal pardons could absolve individuals for their sins. As viewed from Rome, Luther had maligned, even defamed, the church. Luther was eventually excommunicated.
