TREASON? ...Yes, Treason!

TPNN
Tea Party News Network


By Matthew Burke — Famous retired pediatric neurosurgeon and probable 2016 Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, appearing on Newsmax TV’s America’s Forum with former Arizona Congressman J.D. Hayworth on Tuesday, said that if Obama refuses to fund essential parts of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that are vital to the security of the U.S., for the exclusive reason of protecting his illegal amnesty, that he is guilty of treason.

When asked by Hayworth how Dr. Carson would advise the House and Senate in dealing with the DHS funding dispute currently happening over Obama’s illegal amnesty, a department that if fully funded would enable Obama to finance his highly unpopular and unconstitutional scheme to import thousands of new Democrat voters, Dr. Carson replied (emphasis added):
“I would say break the funding for homeland security up into parcels. Don’t present it as a whole bill. And that makes it much more difficult for him [Obama] for him to stand in the way. And if he does stand in the way, particularly with things that are vital to the security of this country, then I think we can start talking about treason.”
A taken aback Hayworth then asked Carson to reiterate: “Would you repeat that statement?”

“If things are done that are contrary to the security of this country — whoever does them is guilty of treason,” Dr. Carson explained.

Would weak GOP leadership accuse Obama of treason? Highly unlikely, since they don’t have the courage to impeach the Marxist Democrat, despite multiple constitutional violations....

The Mark Levin Show
Judge Andrew Scott Hanen Deserves Our Praise
For Standing Up To Obama’s Lawlessness

Broadcast Synopsis — On Tuesday’s, February 17, 2015, Mark Levin Show: Texas federal judge Andrew Scott Hanen deserves our praise for standing up to President Obama’s lawlessness. He figured out Obama’s game, to turn things upside down so fast that courts couldn’t catch up until it was too late. Hanen, with support from 26 states, stopped Obama’s executive amnesty in its tracks.

Meanwhile, Congress couldn’t shut down the Department of Homeland Security even if they wanted to. Over 80% of DHS employees are considered essential personnel, and would continue to work if a government shutdown were to occur. Despite this, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and the rest of the knee-jerk Republicans will buckle because of a Washington Post editorial. By funding Obama’s executive amnesty now, they’d be undermining a Federal court decision.

Mark speaks with Senator Ted Cruz to discuss Congress’ next move on the executive order.

Also, the Islamo-nazi crusade continues to spread across the Middle East and Europe. France is imploding, with Jews leaving in the face of extreme anti-Semitism not seen since the 1930s.

We need to show support to our allies, especially Israel, but Virginia Democrat house members leave the room as soon as a vote comes up. Obama has dragged the Democratic party into a very ugly place; the anti-Israel party.

Later, Marks speaks with Robert Fazen, mayor of Bound Brook, N.J., who sets the record straight about two teens in trouble for trying to shovel snow.

Obama: America Must Make Muslims
Feel More Comfortable

By Peter Malcolm, Ben Shapiro's Truth Revolt — Barack Obama, in a column for the Los Angeles Times, tries to explain his position regarding the “threat” facing the United States, mentioning al Qaeda, ISIL, the massacres at Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon, but in the process, reveals his Marxist leanings, his refusal to acknowledge the religious nature of the threat, his belief in the racism of the United States against Muslims, and ironically, his agreement with George W. Bush that regime change is the answer to the global threat.

Obama begins with his usual self-puffery: “The United States has made significant gains against terrorism. We’ve decimated the core al Qaeda leadership, strengthened homeland security and worked to prevent another large-scale attack like 9/11.”

But facts, as they say, are stubborn things, so Obama immediately segues to reality: “At the same time, the threat has evolved.” He lists terrorists’ actions around the globe, and naturally avoids naming the common thread:
The al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen actively plots against us. Since 9/11, terrorists have murdered U.S. citizens overseas, including in the attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Here in the United States, Americans have been killed at Ft. Hood and during the Boston Marathon. In Syria and Iraq, the terrorist group we call ISIL has slaughtered innocent civilians and murdered hostages, including Americans, and has spread its barbarism to Libya with the murder of Egyptian Christians. In recent months, we've seen deadly attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, Paris and Copenhagen. Elsewhere, the Pakistan Taliban massacred more than 100 schoolchildren and their teachers. From Somalia, al-Shabaab has launched attacks across East Africa. In Nigeria and neighboring countries, Boko Haram kills and kidnaps men, women and children.
Not a whisper of the one commonality of the murderers. Instead, he writes, “Groups like al Qaeda and ISIL promote a twisted interpretation of religion that is rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims.”

Marching forward to agree with Bush: “Governments that deny human rights play into the hands of extremists who claim that violence is the only way to achieve change. Efforts to counter violent extremism will only succeed if citizens can address legitimate grievances through the democratic process and express themselves through strong civil societies.”

And leaping ahead with his Marxist explanation for the violence: “Those efforts must be matched by economic, educational and entrepreneurial development so people have hope for a life of dignity.” Yup, jobs will solve the problem.

How about American racism toward Muslims? He writes that we don’t know what motivated the killings at UNC of three Muslims, but ascribes it to racism anyway: “… all of us have a role to play by upholding the pluralistic values that define us as Americans … That pluralism has at times been threatened by hateful ideologies and individuals from various religions … We do not yet know why three young people, who were Muslim Americans, were brutally killed in Chapel Hill, N.C. But we know that many Muslim Americans across our country are worried and afraid.”

Because Obama believes that the cauldron producing the terrorist threat can be emptied of its fury simply by talking, he concludes: “With this week's summit, we'll show once more that — unlike terrorists who only offer misery and death — it is our free societies and diverse communities that offer the true path to opportunity, justice and dignity.”...

Atheists Are Anti-First Amendment Bullies

Atheists hate the pledge of allegiance. Zo thinks that atheists are actually using the pledge to force atheism on others.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Intel: ISIS Planning Attacks On U.S. Soil
Cells Already In Place For Spring, Summer Offensive

By Aaron Klein, WND — Egypt, now at the forefront of fighting ISIS, is warning it has intelligence revealing the global jihadist group is planning a worldwide offensive this spring or summer that could reach targets within the United States.

Interrogations of ISIS members captured in recent weeks in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula Egyptian and information collected by Egyptian security forces indicate ISIS is planning ground offensives this spring and summer aimed at taking over more territory across the Middle Eastern and Persian Gulf, a senior Egyptian intelligence official told WND.

Some of the information indicates the new offensive will not be limited to the Arab world. Timed to coincide with its planned surge, ISIS is plotting possible attacks using cells abroad.

ISIS and its jihadist allies could activate cells to carry attacks in Europe and possibly within the U.S., the senior Egyptian official warned.

The official advocated the deployment of significant ground troops acting on multiple fronts to stop ISIS’ progression. He complained the Obama administration and international community has been hesitant to take major action against ISIS advances.

Egypt on Monday sent warplanes over the border into Libya to bomb ISIS targets after the terror group’s well publicized, savage attack on Egyptian Christians.

Egyptian F-16 fighter jets reportedly struck ISIS training camps and weapons depots along Libya’s coast, including targets in Derna, where Islamic extremist groups have joined with ISIS.

One day earlier, ISIS allies released a video that appears to show the execution of 21 Coptic Christian prisoners. The Coptic Church is headquartered in Egypt.

The Egyptian government reportedly dispatched its foreign minister to New York in a bid to rally international support for their military intervention in Libya.

Last week, WND reported Egypt estimates ISIS and its allies currently boast an army of about 180,000 fighters.

State Department: ‘We Can Not Kill Our Way Out Of This War’ With ISIS, We’ll Stop Them With ‘Jobs’

Washington Free Beacon
Transcript
MATTHEWS: “If I were ISIS, I wouldn’t be afraid right now. I would figure there’s no existential threat to these people. They can keep finding places where they can hold executions and putting the camera work together, getting their props ready and killing people for show and nothing we do right now seems to be directed at stopping this.”

HARF: “I think there is few stages here. Right now what we are doing is trying to take their leaders and their fighters off the battlefield in Iraq and in Syria. That’s really where they —”
MATTHEWS: “Are we killing enough of them?”

HARF: “We’re killing a lot of them and we’re gonna keep killing more of them, so are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians, they are in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the longer term, medium and longer term, to go after the root causes that leads to join these groups whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs, whether it’s —”

MATTHEWS: “We’re not going to be able to stop that in our lifetime. Or 50 lifetimes. There’s always going to be poor people; there’s always going to be poor Muslims, and as long as there’s poor Muslims the trumpet’s blowing and they’ll join.”


Is Criticism Of Islam A Hate Crime?

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Mag — After every terrorist attack, the news goes through the usual checklist of excuses. Muslims aren’t responsible. It had nothing to do with Islam. Asking Muslims to condemn or disassociate themselves from the attack is racist and you should be ashamed of yourself for even asking them to do it.

The Chapel Hill shootings reversed the spin. The media switched from warning us that we shouldn’t blame Muslims for Muslim terrorism, to blaming atheists for a parking dispute turned violent. Their evidence was Craig Hicks’ Facebook page quoting prominent atheists attacking, mainly, Christianity....

Michigan: Muslim Asks People If They’re Muslim,

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch — Not that this has anything to do with Islam, you greasy Islamophobe. “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, ruthless to the unbelievers” (Qur’an 48:29).

“Man stabs two at a bus stop after asking them if they’re Muslim,” by Abby Ohlheiser, Washington Post, February 17, 2015 (thanks to A.M.H.):
A Detroit man stabbed two people at a suburban bus stop after asking his victims whether or not they were Muslim, according to police. Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday....

Imagine The Outcry If Christians Beheaded 21 Muslims
One Brave Preacher Dared To Make This Comparison

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand

Transcript: Just try to imagine the outcry if Christians beheaded 21 Muslims. What if instead of turning the other cheek, they turned to swords as Muslims do? The liberal media would likely suspend all other news stories and beat the single drum of how horrible those fundamentalist Christians are.

Yet Muslims just beheaded 21 Christians which was met by Obama and the mass media with somewhat of a collective yawn.

Yet one brave preacher dared to make this comparison. Franklin Graham, son of famous Evangelist Billy Graham, asked the question following Muslims beheading 21 Coptic Christians: “Where is the universal condemnation by Muslim leaders around the world?”

But we can save everyone the time of looking: It doesn’t exist. And the reason it doesn’t exist is because the core teachings of Islam by Muhammad is to behead infidels, defined as anyone who is not Muslim.

 photo KoranVersesWND.jpg

And if Muslims were to condemn Muslims for carrying out Islamic teaching, they too would be on the receiving end of the beheading sword because the Quran says a moderate Muslim who refuses to engage in so-called holy jihad is worse than an infidel.

The solution is simple. Since Islam is not a religion but an actual form of government complete with its own constitution known as Sharia Law, Congress simply needs to ban Sharia law in the United States and other free nations might follow suit.

They have the Constitutional right to do this since Sharia Law is diametrically opposed to the U.S. Constitution, nullifying virtually everything in it and in rule of law in the United States. But the question is: Do our Congressmen have the courage to do the right thing? Or will they have to wait until a million Americans die in a bloodbath that is already being planned by Muslim leaders who view US as pushovers?

ISIS Takes Forty Five People And Burn Them Alive
They Then Take One Hundred People And Butcher Every Single One Of Them. Now ISIS Is Surrounding 1,200 People And Want To Slaughter All Of Them

SHOEBAT EXCLUSIVE By Walid Shoebat and Theodore Shoebat —
ISIS took 45 people and burned them to death. According Col Qasim al-Obeidi a number of the victims were Iraqi security forces. Al-Obeidi is now exhorting the government, and the international community to provide help, since now ISIS is surrounding the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi where the families of security officials are living, and if they are caught by ISIS, they will be suffer a most horrible death.

35 More Christians Kidnapped
By The Islamic State In Libya

By Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs — These reports on Muslims slaughtering non-Muslim and heretical Muslims in the cause of Islam are daily. Some days there are more than one report, and Obama shrugs, while waging jihad on our freedoms here at home.
As wildly changed as the world is from 2008, when President Obama took office till now, be warned: it will be that much different from now until when he leaves office.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
