The Fifth Column Training Ground - Prisons
Will We Americans Learn From This? Absolutely Not! It Would Be Deemed Politically Incorrect!
Muslims make up only about 12 percent of France’s population — but account for from 60 to 70 percent of all inmates in the country’s prisons.
In Britain, Muslims reportedly make up 3 percent of the population, but 11 percent of prisoners.
In the Netherlands, 20 percent of adult prisoners and 26 percent of juvenile offenders are Muslims, while the nation on the whole is about 5.5 percent Muslim, according to research by the Open Society Institute, an advocacy organization.
In Belgium, Muslims from Turkey and Morocco account for at least 16 percent of inmates; they make up 2 percent of the general population.
... French prison officials blame that remarkable statistic on the poverty of people who have moved to France from North Africa and other Muslim nations in recent decades. (Jihad might have something to do with it!?! - Tiger)
French Muslim leaders further hold racism and discrimination as the root cause of unemployment and crime rates among the Muslim minority, according to the Islam Online Web site. (Ahhh! Fascism rears its head again! - Tiger)
“Sociologists and Muslim leaders say the French prison system reflects the deep social and ethnic divides roiling France and its European neighbors as immigrants and a new generation of their children alter the demographic and cultural landscape of the continent,” the Washington Post observed. (this last sentence is classic Psycho-Babble! From the Post, of course! - Tiger)
France has had difficulty reacting to the growing numbers of Muslims incarcerated in the country. The prison system has only 100 Muslim clerics for the nation’s 200 prisons, compared with about 480 Catholic, 250 Protestant and 50 Jewish chaplains, even though Muslim prisoners far outnumber prisoners of all other religions. (Oh yeah! That's it! Give 'em more Radical Clerics! - Tiger)
“It is true that we haven’t attained full equality among religions in prisons yet,” Jeanne Sautiere, director of integration and religious groups for the French prison system, told the Post.
“It is a matter of time.”
The Times of London recently included Paris’ rat-infested La Santé prison — which includes a number of Islamic militants among its large Muslim population — on its list of the “10 Most Notorious Jails in the World.”
... If you review this blog you'll find many articles describing rapid Radical Islamic Jihadist growth in American communities, its schools, its military, the Pentagon, and her prisons. Our leaders? They either don't care or don't have a clue. Or is it that they want the Fifth Column to succeed!?! - Tiger

Gingrich Responds To "Many" Questioning His Pelosi Global Warming Ad
Many of you have written to me to ask why I recently taped an advertisement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for The Alliance for Climate Protection, a group founded by former Vice President Al Gore.
I completely understand why many of you would have questions about this, so I want to take this opportunity to explain my reasons. First of all, I want to be clear: I don't think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don't think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.
But here's what we do know. There is an important debate going on right now over the right energy policy, the right environmental policy, and making sure we do the right things for our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. Conservatives are missing from this debate, and I think that's a mistake. When it comes to preserving our environment for future generations, we can't have a slogan of "Just yell no!"
I have a different view. I think it's important to be on the stage, to engage in the debate, and to communicate our position clearly. There is a big difference between left-wing environmentalism that wants higher taxes, bigger government., more bureaucracy, more regulation, more red tape, and more litigation and a Green Conservatism that wants to use science, technology, innovation, entrepreneurs, and prizes to find a way to creatively invent the kind of environmental future we all want to live in.
Unless we start making the case for the latter, we're going to get the former. That's why I took part in the ad.
Thank you for reading and visiting Newt.org

*UPDATE* We are compiling a list of your comments and Newt will be personally responding to them, stay tuned!
... sorry, Newt! I'm not buying it! The "Green" movement is a modern day FASCIST effort. Just read Jonah Goldberg's book. Why is it Republican Pols always partner with the enemy? - Tiger

BTW, here is a typical response comment from his website which sums it up fairly well :
Newt, the reason conservatives are beneath the radar with regards to the climate change debate is primarily because on the face of it... it is a silly, unscientific, non biblical, sophomoric debate.
When there are so many other important issues to tackle... we don't need our quarterback playing catch with the other team. If you are looking for a debate, try off shore drilling.. anwar.... coal to oil... etc.
We have for too long allowed emotion driven liberals to frame the debate in a sort of... (Do you still beat your Wife?) type of framework. For instance... abortion... Instead of stating abortion is killing a person.. we debate partial birth abortion instead... or age of consent.. when actually we should be re framing the debate to say.. Should we kill unborn humans?? Listen.. I'm not advocating throwing your used oil down the sewer or ridiculous scenarios such as that... Im just saying... I don't give a "Tinker's Damn" about climate change when my energy costs are skyrocketing and the immediate future of my children is at stake...vis a vi... Illegal Immigration... or Energy Independence... or.. a sinking dollar... or Islamic extremism.. or.. get the point?
Back out of this no win debate before you loose so much credibility you become impotent with regards to REAL issues...
God Bless you Newt.
The Anti-Christian Bush Administration Is At It Again!
It's Yet Another Attack On Freedom From George W. Bush. This Time It's Against Christian Radio Stations - It's A "Fairness Doctrine" For Christian Radio
WASHINGTON – Today is the last day for public comments on a proposed Federal Communications Commission rule change some say would threaten the licenses of Christian radio stations from coast to coast.
At issue is a proposal that would require every radio station to take programming advice from community advisory boards representative of the area's population.
Advocates of Christian programming say that would require Christian broadcasters to seek advice from non-Christians and even those opposed to the Christian message. Some radio stations fear organized groups of atheists, for instance, could demand representation on the new FCC-mandated advisory boards that would factor into licensing decisions.
"While the FCC is considering these rule changes, at the moment nothing is 'set in stone' as they await public comment," explains the Christian Air 1 Radio Network. "If any of these changes were adopted, there would be significant impact on our ability to minister to you and your community. These rules would not only affect our stations but also thousands of stations around the country."
In addition to the requirement for advisory boards, the new regulations would also mandate radio stations produce every three months reports on how much programming of various types has been broadcast, who produced it and how it reflects the interests of the community – including segments who do not approve of or share Christian values.
The National Association of Broadcasters, which opposes the rule change, offers an online form for making comments on the FCC rule change – but the deadline is today. All comments must be filed under the assigned docket number No. 04-233, meaning that number must be included in all communications about the proposed rule change to be considered by the FCC.
The NAB is advising its member stations to tell the FCC why the rule change is counter-productive – that it would pressure broadcasters to air programming that is not necessarily commercially viable. The group also suggests the FCC rule change would mandate programming quotas.
Broadcasters don't like another element of the rule change – one that would require stations to have at least one employee on duty during all hours of operation. Breakthroughs in automated programming have made that unnecessary in recent years, so the rule change would mean more expense for some smaller-market stations.
Last week, FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell questioned the need to turn back the clock with such a rule change. In a speech before the Quello Communications Law and Policy Symposium, McDowell cited the proliferation of competing communications opportunities on the Internet, through cable television channels and other venues.
Given the media choices available, he questioned why "policymakers like us at the FCC" are dusting off decades-old regulations to impose on broadcasters.
"Why are we considering placing these proverbial albatrosses around the necks of traditional media precisely at this 'tipping point' in history when they can least afford a regulatory disadvantage vis-à-vis unregulated platforms like the Internet?" he asked.
The potential Orwellian implications of such policies are chilling, the commissioner argued.

... Meanwhile, the Administration also wants to create another level of bureaucracy - FOR NATION BUILDING!
(CNSNews.com) - America's efforts at stabilizing failing regimes and promoting the spread of democracy would improve if an agency were created to foster a culture of nation-building in the U.S. government itself, according to a leading foreign policy expert. Critics, however, dismiss the idea as unnecessary and an unwanted step towards creating a "colonialism" office
