Blog Smith is inspired by the myth of Hephaestus in the creation of blacksmith-like, forged materials: ideas. This blog analyzes topics that interest me: IT, politics, technology, history, education, music, and the history of religions.
CNS News’ Craig Bannister, though, challenged Fluke’s $3,000 figure and came up with some pretty interesting numbers:
$3,000 for birth control in three years? That’s a thousand dollars a year of sex – and, she wants us to pay for it. [...] At a dollar a condom if she shops at CVS pharmacy’s website, that $3,000 would buy her 3,000 condoms – or, 1,000 a year… Assuming it’s not a leap year, that’s 1,000 divided by 365 – or having sex 2.74 times a day, every day, for three straight years. And, I thought Georgetown was a Catholic university where women might be prone to shun casual, unmarried sex. At least its health insurance doesn’t cover contraception (that which you subsidize, you get more of, you know).
Bar Ilan University political scientist Dr. Mordechai Kedar told a Moslem show host on the Arabic-language Al Jazeera television network, "Jews were in Jerusalem while your ancestors were drinking wine and bowing to idols." In a heated debate with the narrator, he added, "We don't need your permission to build" in the capital of Israel, Jerusalem.
The encounter occurred earlier this week, when Jews around the world celebrated Jerusalem Unification Day. Dr. Kedar has frequently appeared on the widely viewed Qatar-based network but this time encountered a sharp attack from the show's host, Jimal Rian.
"Building in Jerusalem is another nail in the coffin in negotiations with the Palestinian Authority," narrator Jimal Rian asserted. Dr. Kedar answered in fluent Arabic, "This was our capital 3,000 years ago, and we were here when your forefathers were drinking wine, burying girls alive and worshipping pre-Muslim idols. This is our city and it will be our city forever."
His reference to Muslims drinking wine, which is forbidden in Islam, infuriated the host. Rian wagged his finger in the air and said excitedly, "If you want to talk about history, you cannot erase Jerusalem from the Koran, and don’t attack the Muslim religion if we want to continue talking.
Dr. Kedar replied, "Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Koran. Jerusalem is a Jewish city."
The Al Jazeera host responded by quoting a verse from the Koran in which he thought Jerusalem was mentioned by name, but stopped in the middle upon realizing that it only refers to "the farthest place."
Dr. Kedar: "Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran even once. You can't rewrite the Koran on air on Al Jazeera."
Rian changed the subject to "settlements" and asked Dr. Kedar why Israel is building 1,000 new apartments and deciding to build thousands more while there are rumors that "Jerusalem will include all of the West Bank [Judea and Samaria].
The Bar Ilan researcher replied. "My friend, Israel is not counting the number of apartments that Qatar is building on the Qatar Peninsula so why are you doing so in Jerusalem? Jerusalem is our city forever and is not an issue for you, for Al Jazeera or for anyone else. Period. Jerusalem belongs only to Jews.
Replying to Rian's question if Dr. Behar's assessment is the basis for talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA), he declared, "My friend, I invite you to Jerusalem so you can see with your own eyes that it has become a flourishing city after it was in ruins under Arab rule until 1967. We rebuilt the city and opened it to Christians, Moslems and Jews equally, unlike under Muslim rule" that prohibited other religions.
The political scientist told Al Jazeera viewers, "The West bank does not belong to any nation because it was not under a nation's jurisdiction, unlike the Sinai Peninsula." No one can say it is occupied," he argued. "From what country did we take it? Until 1967, Jordan occupied it. Therefore, we can do what we want."
He explained that Al Jazeera takes a jihadic and anti-Israel stance in order to detract viewers' attention from the wealth of the oil-rich Arab kingdoms, including Qatar, where Al Jazeera is based.
"The amount of poison that they disseminate about us from our home is too dangerous, and something had to be done," he recently told the Jewish Forward, referring to the Israeli government's unannounced partial boycott of the network. He labeled Al Jazeera "the mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood," the radical terrorist party that is gaining popularity in Egypt.
DEFENSE SECRETARY PANETTA: OUR DEBT PATH THREATENS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
WASHINGTON, February 28--In a Budget Committee hearing today, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta agreed with former Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen that the country's debt path represents a grave threat to our national security. He also called on Congress to undo the Budget Control Act sequester mechanism, which he and Sen. Sessions agreed would have a harmful effect on military readiness and capabilities. As Sen. Sessions noted, "We can't just balance this budget on the back of the Defense Department. And if we break faith with those fabulous men and women who have been deployed repeatedly--away from their families, placing their lives at risk--if they see what we've done as disproportionately targeting them for the wasteful Washington spending that's been going on, we would have broken faith with some of the best people this country has produced."
There are a couple of interesting observations to be made from the above graphic from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. One, the steep decline in American jobs correlates to when the Democrats took over control of Congress. Coincidence? Perhaps. But then recall that Barack Obama begins his presidency in 2009 and the decline very much continues well into 2010 where it at least flatlines. 2010 was when Republicans then took control of the House of Representatives and gained a number of seats in the Senate – which the Democrats still control.
$5 TRILLION in lost taxpayer deficit dollars is quite a sum for what that chart reflects – stagnant job growth. Millions who remain unemployed. Millions more who have dropped out of even trying to find work and are therefor not even being counted in the unemployment figures.
For a bit of contrast check out thiscomparative chart detailing the Reagan recovery vs the Obama recovery. One president charged ahead with plans to greatly reduce taxes, lessen regulations, and pushes to increase domestic energy production in the United States. The other president – Barack Obama, called for more taxes, more regulation, and has fought increasing domestic energy production at every opportunity – such as his shutting down of the much-needed Keystone pipeline:”
The policy began shortly after 9/11. Partial remains of some 9/11 victims were sent to a landfill after they could not be identified. The victims were among those killed at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa. On Tuesday, a new Defense Department review of the mortuary operations at Dover revealed that “several portions of remains” recovered from the Sept. 11 attacks at the Pentagon and at Shanksville also ended up in a landfill. The review, led by retired Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, did not quantify how many human remains from Sept. 11 were disposed of in this manner. It said the remains “could not be tested or identified,” apparently because they were too small or charred to allow for DNA analysis.
John Philip Abizaid is a retired General in the United States Army and former Commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), overseeing American military operations in a 27-country region, from the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, to South and Central Asia, covering much of the Middle East. Abizaid, a Lebanese American, was born in northern California. He was raised Catholic. He learned Arabic in the military.
ACTOR KIRK CAMERON‘S ’MONUMENTAL‘ FILM LOOKS TO REDISCOVER AMERICA’S ‘NATIONAL TREASURE’
Monumental Trailer
Are there ways in which we can recapture the country’s “national treasure” and return to our roots? What made us one of the most exceptional nations the world has ever seen? How did we stray from such a great beginning?
As for safety, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program says that as of early February, a total of nine claims have been filed for HPV-vaccine-related deaths and 163 claims filed for injuries. So far, 25 claims have been compensated and 33 have been dismissed, the federal program said.
Its quite startling to read such blatantly false statements of American history and there is no public reaction whatsoever; its almost like this guy was educated in Indonesia as a child.
Iftar Ramadan Dinner: "Islam has always been part of our American family," 9/11 Tribute to Islam
I don't think they are teaching American history and culture effectively. I've looked in vain for Islam among the Founders through the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. However, I've discussed American history with my Islamist associates and they are under the same mistaken impression, that Islam has always been here. In fact, Muslims in America immigrated in larger numbers about the time that Obama was born but there is American history that pre-dates Obama. Its quite important to know and understand.
We are a country founded on a principle that attracted international seekers of liberty, and the rejection of foreign and outside influence to create a uniquely, and exceptional, American character. To the extent that we dilute uniquely American culture and character, the next generation fails to grasp what is so truly revolutionary about the American Revolution. Why did an international crowd flock to fight for the American revolution if it was not truly unique and exceptional?
The American Revolution attracted an international cadre of fighters willing to fight for liberty. Polish-born Jew Haym Salomon is known as a major, if not the major, financier of the American Revolution; Other fighters--Casimir Pulaski, Thaddeus Kosciusko, Friedrich Wilhelm Augustus von Steuben, Marquis de Lafayette--Polish, Prussian, and French respectively all played leading roles. The American Revolution was exceptional to the people living at the time. They grasped the uniqueness of the American struggle for liberty and independence which is a historical fact; now seemingly lost to the products of an internationalist, America is always wrong and arrogant, multicultural education.
Halfway through the talk, Arab and Leftist anti-Israel students, mostly from the SJP group, stood up and began screaming and chanting in order to shut down the talk and make a disturbance that their wide network could use against us. They were surprised that people in the audience were angry and went to clear them out of the room. This was a first for UNM. Normally both sides have enough respect not to disrupt each other's events. Consequently UNM police didn't see the need to have officers at the event. However, there is a new wind blowing in the US, and the people who disrupted our talk showed us that what Nonie Darwish was saying is true.

A tax on toilet paper; I kid you not. According to the sponsor, "the Water Protection and Reinvestment Act will be financed broadly by small fees on such things as . . . products disposed of in waste water." Congress wants to tax what you do in the privacy of your bathroom.
