U.S. Treasury Submits To Islam, Shariah-Compliant Finance

Am I the only one that thinks the world is going to end up as a giant train wreck?

The U.S. Treasury Department is submitting to Shariah - the seditious religio-political-legal code authoritative Islam seeks to impose worldwide under a global theocracy.

[...]

"Islamic banking" is a euphemism for a practice better known as "Shariah-Compliant Finance (SFC)." And it turns out that this week the Treasury will be taking officials from various federal agencies literally to school on SFC.

The department is hosting a half-day course entitled "Islamic Finance 101" on Thursday at its headquarters building. Treasury's self-described "seminar for the policy community" is co-sponsored with the leading academic promoters of Shariah and SCF in the United States: Harvard University Law School's Project on Islamic Finance. At the very least, the U.S. government evidently hopes to emulate Harvard's success in securing immense amounts of Wahhabi money in exchange for conforming to the Islamists' agenda. Like Harvard, Treasury seems utterly disinterested in what Shariah actually is, and portends.

Unfortunately, such submission - the literal meaning of "Islam" - is not likely to remain confined long to the Treasury or its sister agencies. Thanks to the extraordinary authority conferred on Treasury since September, backed by the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the department is now in a position to impose its embrace of Shariah on the U.S. financial sector. The nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Treasury's purchase of - at last count - 17 banks and the ability to provide, or withhold, funds from its new slush-fund can translate into unprecedented coercive power.

Concerns in this regard are only heightened by the prominent role Assistant Treasury Secretary Neel Kashkari will be playing in "Islamic Finance 101." Mr. Kashkari, the official charged with administering the TARP fund, will provide welcoming remarks to participants. Presumably, in the process, he will convey the enthusiasm about Shariah-Compliant Finance that appears to be the current party line at Treasury.

Who Is Obama's Chief Of Staff, Rahm Emanuel?

He appears to be a bit mentally unstable.

At a dinner to celebrate President Clinton's first election victory, Mr Emanuel began to name those who he believed had earned his enmity. As he listed the names of those he saw as traitors, he grabbed a steak knife, stood up and began plunging the knife into the table and shouting "Dead! Dead! Dead!" after each name.

"When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape," one witness recalled. "It was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."

Nor was this an isolated incident – one pollster who fell out with Mr Emanuel received a rotting fish in the post as a warning not to cross him again.

The Most Amazing Thing Ever! Stunt Plane Loses Wing

In the air shows I've been to, there's been some close calls. The year before I went to Dayton's show, a pilot crashed and died. But this video is one of the most amazing things I've seen. The pilot loses a wing during his performance...watch what happens next.

 

***UPDATE 11/8/08***

You know the saying "if it's too good to be true, it probably is"? Well this video is a product of good editing. It's an R/C plane until the very end, then a real plane is put in.

No one is more disappointed than I am.

What Happens To The Obama Supporters?

I Thought This Was Hilarious

Most Of The MSM Has Called The Election For Obama

I've been dealing with people freaking out all night. I'm not freaking out. All the precincts have not reported yet. Until those votes are counted, the very large number of absentee votes, early votes, and military votes won't be counted. If I wake up tomorrow and find out that Obama is officially the president, then I will get depressed. After that, Conservatives need to work together to take over congress in 2010.

This is all I'm going to post about at this time. I will have more to say tomorrow. I'm still hoping when I wake up, the exit polls were wrong.

I Voted Today

Not knowing what the polls would be like tomorrow, I decided to go the board of elections today and vote early. I gathered up my mom and brother and headed over. I had to stand in line for an hour and a half before I got to vote. It didn't help that there were only 2 machines there.

As much as I hated to do it, I voted for McCain. So there's 3 votes for McCain anyhow.

Supreme Court Sides With Voter Registration Fraud

The Supreme Court has said that it's perfectly okay to not have to verify thousands of potentially fraudulent votes. They didn't look into voter registration and voter fraud, they looked into whether or not the Ohio GOP had the right to sue the Secretary of State Brunner.  This whole situation gets more pathetic each day.

The Supreme Court sided Friday with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

[...]

In a brief unsigned opinion, the justices said they were not commenting on whether Ohio is complying with a provision of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 that lays out requirements for verifying voter eligibility.

Instead, they said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue.

***UPDATE***

The official court ruling:

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 08A332
JENNIFER BRUNNER, OHIO SECRETARY OF STATE
v. OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[October 17, 2008]
PER CURIAM.

On October 9, 2008, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entered a temporary restraining order (TRO) directing Jennifer Brunner, the Ohio Secretary of State, to update Ohio’s Statewide Voter Registration Database (SWVRD) to comply with Section303 of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), 116 Stat. 1708, 42 U. S. C. §15483(a)(5)(B)(i).* The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied the Secretary’s motion to vacate the TRO. The Secretary has filed an application to stay the TRO with JUSTICE STEVENS as Circuit Justice for the Sixth Circuit, and he has referred the matter to the Court. The Secretary argues both that the District Court had no jurisdiction to enter the TRO and that its ruling on the merits was erroneous. We express no opinion on the question whether HAVA is being properly implemented. Respondents,however, are not sufficiently likely to prevail on the question whether Congress has authorized the District Court to enforce Section 303 in an action brought by a private litigant to justify the issuance of a TRO. See Gonzaga Univ. v. Doe, 536 U. S. 273, 283 (2002); Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U. S. 275, 286 (2001). We therefore grant the application for a stay and vacate the TRO.

It is so ordered.

*Title 42 U. S. C. §15483(a)(5)(B)(i) (2000 ed., Supp. V) states, in relevant part:
“The chief State election official and the official responsible for the State motor vehicle authority of a State shall enter into an agreement to match information in the database of the statewide voter registration system with information in the database of the motor vehicle authority to the extent required to enable each such official to verify the accuracy of the information provided on applications for voter registration.”

Here's an interesting video about a man Obama campaigned for in Kenya, (at taxpayer expense mind you).

Obama Supporters Raid Palin Campaign Stop, Chant "NO USA"

Some Obamabots decided to raid Palin's campaign stop in Carson, CA and while McCain/Palin supporters were chanting "USA! USA!", the Obamabots were chanting "NO USA! NO USA!" These people are so pathetic.

That defining moment happened at Carson, California, where Sarah Palin addressed throngs of an estimated 20,000 at the tennis stadium at the Home Depot Center.

The throngs who showed up to see and hear Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin were chanting, “USA! USA!”

Obama supporters on the same scene fomenting for revolution were chanting “No USA! “No USA!”

[...]

Back at Carson’s Home Depot Center, sheriffs escorted out five or six Obamabots as the crowds were chanting “USA!” USA!”

“Sarah riffed on one, saying something like, “We fight for their freedoms as well”.
