Should American courts consider Islamic Shariah law when Muslims face justice?
From the Washington Times:
Texas and Wyoming want to make sure legal concepts based on the Koran don’t gain a foothold in America. Proposed state constitutional amendments would ban the use of Shariah and other forms of international law from the courtroom. On Election Day in November, Oklahomans gave an overwhelming 70 percent approval to a similar amendment to the Sooner State constitution.
While a Shariah ban ought to be a no-brainer, it has generated significant controversy. In November, a federal magistrate sided with the Council of American-Islamic Relations and ordered an injunction that blocked certification of Oklahoma’s amendment. Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange wrote that a Muslim activist would suffer “a stigma attaching to his person, relegating him to an ineffectual position within the political community, and causing him injury” had the amendment been allowed to take effect. In other words, it might hurt someone’s feelings.
But why should care about such events? After all, Islam is the "Religion of Peace". As harmless and playful as a dolphin.
Sharks Are Not Misunderstood Dolphins, and Islam Is Not a Religion of Peace
It is happening in Europe, and it is coming to America.

"To retreat further - means to waste ourselves and to waste at the same time our Motherland. Therefore it is necessary to eliminate talk that we have the capability endlessly to retreat...it weakens us and benefits the enemy... This leads to the conclusion, it is time to stop retreating. Not one step back! Such should now be our slogan." - Order 227

More ObamaCare Waivers: 40% Are Unions
No one can say that Obama doesn't reward those who do his dirty work.
Yesterday, the Deparment of Health and Human Services announced it had granted more than 500 new waivers to Obamacare's requirement that health plans have annual limits of no less than $750,000. This annual limit requirement climbs to $1.25 million next year and then to $2 million.
The reason these exemptions from the law are needed is that Obamacare forces all health insurance consumers to over-insure themselves and pay high premiums as a result. Without the waivers, many companies, non-profits and unions would simply drop their health plans. As of 2014, the waivers will no longer be available -- at least, that's the way the law is written.
It is worth noting that there are 166 union benefits funds now exempted from this requirement, which account for about 40 percent of the exempted workers. This means that although there are only 14.6 million unionized employees in the United States, and 860,000 of them are already exempted from this provision of Obamacare.

The Hypocrisy of Chris Matthews and MSNBC
Of course the folks in the MSN tend to have short term memory when to comes to comments made by their progressive leader...
Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight?
That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl.

Totally Delusional
The sad thing isn't just how far left her views are, or how deeply she truly believes what she says. It's that she is able to rationalize everything, in perfect 20/20 hindsight completely neglecting anything she has said or done previously.
Listen what she says about the Tea Party...
And Princess Pelosi is an expert on all matters, and has no problem balancing her "Catholic faith" and her views on abortion.
And here's a little soft shoe dance around the issue of abortion in the ObamaCare plan. After watching this, let me know what her actual answer was.
Here she refers to "contraception" in the stimulus package as a nice way of saying "abortion. But unfortunitly her fellow Democrat doesn't follow up with the obvious question of 'how does government funding of an abortion today reduce the states costs over the long term?'
