This news really made my day this afternoon.
I’m happy to report that Yousef has been allowed to stay in the US.
The Save Mosab Yousef Website has links to all the info.
Kudos to Maggie of Maggie’s Notebook, The Lonely Conservative and Bob Belvedere of The Camp Of The Saints for bringing Mosab’s story into the open and giving us the opportunity to show our support.
Today, in the robot’s mail box I found the latest installment of
The Peter Morrison Report
Summary of this week’s report:
Conservative stalwart Leo Berman has officially declared that he’s
seeking the office of Speaker of the House, currently held by Joe
Straus. Straus is a RINO who supports abortion and gambling,
campaigns for liberal Democrats, and uses his power to block
important conservative legislation. Replacing Straus with Rep.
Berman would be a huge victory for conservative Texans, and we need
to support Leo Berman in his bid for the Speaker’s job.
Take action:
Please fax the Republican members of the Texas House and urge them
to vote for Leo Berman for Speaker of the House.

Also, please call, write or fax the member of the Texas House from
your district and urge them to vote for Leo Berman for Speaker of
the House. If you need to look up their contact information, you
can do so here:

Unlike Congressmen, it’s possible to actually get your state
representative on the phone. This is by far the most important
step to take, as your rep will be naturally cautious to oppose the
incumbent speaker because of his power to determine the fate of
committee assignments and legislation. Only constituent pressure
will help them muster the courage to act.
Bob Belvedere has an update on the plight of Mosab Yousef and some disturbing speculation.
As you can tell by the banner prominently displayed on this page, I support this brave young man and pray for his safety.
Anyone Still Wondering Where This PC Bullshit Is Going Better Take A Look At Britain.
Via twitter friend JihadHunter some disturbing images and a story to wake up the drowsy, that is if you want to be awakened at all. If not, sorry ’bout your bad luck.
From the UK Daily Mail:
Screaming hate and brandishing vile placards, Muslim extremists and far-Right groups clashed yesterday in ugly scenes that marred a parade by soldiers.
Around 40 members of a group called Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) arrived with inflammatory banners featuring slogans such as ‘Butchers return’ and ‘What are you dying for? £18k’.
Now the good news. Some of our English brethren are tired of the BS as well:
They were soon confronted by 100 people, some wearing English Defence League T-shirts, who shouted ‘scum’ and ‘Muslim bombers off our streets’.

Thank God for anyone willing to stand up to this vile attempt at defaming defenders of freedom. Who do these idiots think protect their right to protest in the first place?

Right up front, I must apologize. Using the term Baptist in the same sentence, or even the same article with a “man” like Fred Phelps is to disrespect Baptists everywhere. I was raised Baptist and the vile hatred these people spew is beyond contempt.
As an example, let me point you to the latest atrocious demonstration they are planning in Louisiana this Saturday at the funeral of a fallen American soldier. The motorcade and funeral of a hero and defender of freedom will be picketed as he is lain to rest by the very clueless people he died defending.
That’s some fine gratitude there Fred. I hope you choke on it.
I first heard of this from a certain corndog loving blogger and soon found that others such as Pat at So it Goes in Shreveport, and Bob at The Camp of the Saints had joined the cacophonous outrage that surrounds the stupidity.
But wait, there’s more! According to the appropriately named Lipton T. Bagg, at the newly bloggrolled website Viewed From The Right:
Beside protesting at the funerals of SPC Joshua Tomlinson in Minden, LA. (PGR is on this one, I understand) and Ronnie James Dio in Los Angeles, Westboro will also be doing multiple protests at Arlington National Cemetery, Ft. Leavenworth National Cemetery in KS., Boston and Lexington, MA. and in Portland, OR.
This is a travesty beyond comprehension. To think they were educated within our own borders speaks volumes to the underlying problem these maroons represent. How can these people be Americans? They surely haven’t been properly educated as to what has made our country great. At least what it was before the progressives gained a foothold in government.
I understand moral and political outrage. Most times I think there should be more of it, and I don’t disagree with their right to protest, I just wish they would find another, more appropriate way to vent their anger. This soldier was the instrument of policy, not the maker of it. Take your protest to Washington, not the funerals of brave defenders of the very freedoms you enjoy. For that, you are awarded the title “douche-bag”.
Knowing the members of this hate-cult will never take the advice offered here, to the people who would stand by our soldiers, I will pass on a suggestion or two from the comments at Pat’s blog:
Janet said… At one of the other funerals where the WBC picketed, some students counter protested by holding up white sheets to shield the family from the picketers. What an awesome, peaceful way to take the wind out of their sails. It would be amazing to see that become a trend…
Also, stolen from Pat’s comment section, is this excellent counter measure from First Baptist Minden:
First Baptist Minden said… In response to the Westboro protest group, First Baptist Church Minden is providing a way for you to positively and to peacefully express your support. So for every minute that the protestors are on site, we are asking you to pledge a per minute monetary amount. ALL the proceeds will be given directly to the widow of a TRUE HERO, SPC. JOSHUA TOMLINSON. So the longer they choose to stay and protest, the more it will benefit SPC. JOSHUA TOMLINSON’S family.
If you would like to help, you can print and fill out this card and bring it by the church office, email it to fbcminden@firstminden.org or mail it to the church office at:

I tried the FB page link. It appears to be down. The First Baptist Minden link should be working however.
Read more on this at My Bossier and an invitation here, and at Andy’s Place, both also added to the blogroll.
God Bless America and the men and women who defend her.
UPDATE: Looks like the Westboro folks were a no-show. Good. Lipton T. Bagg has video of the patriots who lined the streets to honor this man and his service. Warms my heart to see Americans standing on principle.
Pundit and Pundette have a new post up:
In-our-face Ground Zero mosque to open on 9/11/2011
For all those Americans too mind-numbed by multi-culti political correctness to read the writing on the wall…Â emphasis robot
While I understand the PC angle and the qualifying adjectives, still, I must say “I resemble that remark, even if it wasn’t pointed at me.”
I must also ask the planners, with utmost sincerity and resolve..
A mosque at the site of the World Trade Center? WTF?
There is much more info to be had at P&P’s place. I suggest you check it out.
