In one key piece of Wiretap evidence presented in the case CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, was found at a Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders secretly recorded by the FBI. Participants hatched a plot...
Enough! The un-indcited co-conspirator front for Hamas has gotten a free pass long enough while they bully, harrass, sue, and infect the natioal dialogue with taqyia and dawah. They are so afraid of being called a bigot by jihadists. How about traitor? Do they prefer that? You are either with us or against us. These American heroes deserve our props: Thank you Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and members...

Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), an hour before midnight, cast the 218th and deciding vote on landmark health care reform. There were still six minutes and fifty-two seconds on the clock and the chair made a move to gavel the vote closed. Democrats waived their opposition, keeping the vote open. Almost every eye...
Rep. Virginia Foxx makes me Carolina proud ! Everywhere I go in my district, people tell me they are frightened. … I share that fear, and I believe they should be fearful. And I believe the greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room — this very room — and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill....
Patrick McHenry may think he’s clever by playing Wii with Patrick Gavin , but Reps Kucinich and LaTourette just one-upped him. Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and Steve LaTourette appeared on the "Jay Leno Show" last night in a D.L. Hughley segment about finding common ground.

Indiana bigot Mike Pence blew the whistle on this one. A couple weeks ago we looked at how the Republican obsession with openly gay people and the Republican obsession with "czars" was degenerating into a jihad against Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary at the Department of Education for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. Bigot extraordinaire Steve King of Iowa wrote a...

In questioning SEIU political director Anna Burger at a meeting of the House Financial Services Committee yesterday, U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-NC, got the surprising admission that SEIU has cut all ties with the discredited community organizing group ACORN.
