Of her many strengths as a warrior for Western values, Michelle Malkin's greatest is her prowess as an investigative journalist. As is often the case in exposing a web of ties among centers-for-this, institutes-for-that and the like, the trick is to keep the reader's eyes from glazing over. She deftly guides you through the maze with the assurance that when the big picture becomes clear at the end of a piece, you'll see why all the information was necessary.
Such is the case today with the story of a guy named Hisham Altalib who visited the White House in March to meet with the head of the Faith-Based Initiatives program. He is a native Iraqi who came to the US in the 1970s to get a EE degree from Purdue and then entered the web of Muslim Brotherhood front groups. Read to the end of the column and you'll learn about his ties to one of the people implicated in the recent terrorist attack in Libya.
She then makes the point that it makes the United States look pretty ridiculous, since this knowledge is out there even as the MEC regime prattles about YouTube videos.
The jihadists can make a lot of progress even without blowing up any planes, because we think we're such clever multiculturalists. One of their most effective weapons is our own penchant for patty-cake.
Reelect Dick Cheney then. Oh, that's right, as sitting veep he never even threw his heart into a race vs. Obama back in 'o8. Why not?
ReplyDeleteOf course he is coddling up to Mitt so vote for Mitt if u want a world war. I happen to think we got Obama because of the Cheney-Bush bellicosity & consequent bravado.
And it is called statecraft, not patty cake. But rave on tough guy. You and I both know we can still crush our current opposition if we want to, but, as always, it won't be pretty. Noone does tough talk like you neo-cons or whatever you are calling yourselves these days.
And no one does denial like nihilists whose sense of a hopeful future seems to have been extinguished.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, why is it fine with you if the jihad movement infiltrates our nation and destroys it?
ReplyDeleteI never said it was fine with me. And I don't think the can destroy our nation either. Why didn't Cheney run in 08?
ReplyDeleteVariety of reasons: heart condition, a realistic take on his popularity, desire to go back to Wyoming and take it easy and family down.
