Do American Men Want Their Women To Know How To Protect Themselves?

From a Conversation between Jim Higginbotham and Elizabeth Sutton Whereby Elizaberth Kicks All Men's Asses

-----

Hi.
Elisabeth, your right, but i do know you have never been in combat, and i hope you NEVER are.
it's not something most of who have just up and talk about like people do at tea parties for general conversation.
i talk to other Vets but we almost never talk about what we did in combat, and especially a MIXED CROWD.
if the subject comes up and it does from time to time, we talk in generalities ext.
i will say this it's NOT like in the MOVIES.
your a LADY, and me being a SOUTHERN MAN, i was raised we PROTECT THE LADIES, NOT crawling in the MUD AND BLOOD with us, it's FINE for our ladies to know how to shoot and be able to PROTECT the HOME AND KIDS if were away,
im from the OLE SCHOOL and i NEVER CHANGE, and i NEVER COMPROMISE, when it comes to DEFENDING THE LADIES AND KIDS AND OUR HOMES.
you WOMEN are the SOFT SIDE OF GOD, you bring forth LIFE, your NOT LIFE TAKERS, that's OUT JOB WHEN NEEDED.
hope you had a good weekend, and them WHO DAT BOYS WON THE SUPERBOWL, the SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.

Semper Fi.

 
Jim

Jim,

Well, how you were raised has precious little to do with where we find ourselves today, regardless of gender and age.   It may be your preference to hold your opinions of how things "should" be, but those opinions have little to do with how things are.

You are constantly calling for people to rise up.  Who exactly do you think is going to do that?  All  (and only) males over the age
of 18?  Think again...time immemorial, women have taken up arms in combat.  They have fought alongside men, died with their comrades, husbands, kings...and yet it is uniquely the unlearned American society which seeks to "protect" women from the knowledge and experience necessary to insure their survival. 

The Inquisition had the extermination
of women developed to an art form.  The Romans marched across what is now modern day Europe removing inheritance from women, and raping, scourging, and burning women.  Kosovo had entire rape compounds set up for thousands of women and children.  If they didn't die from the abuse, they were shunned by families when returning home with babies conceived in those rapes.    Even today, rape is a tactic of war.  What the fuck do you mean this or that conversation is not for a "mixed crowd."  Do you honestly believe that women do not understand that they are and have been the most sought after prey on earth?  Do you think that by not speaking of combat, and blood, and mud, and guts that we are somehow "protected"? 

If you think to "protect" us, then in the name
of all things Holy, you teach the ways and means of self protection.  You think it is "fine" for us to know how to shoot and defend the home and children while you are away?  I think it incumbent upon you to insure that your "life givers" know how to efficiently take a life.

I grow weary with this illusion that men protect women by treating them as though they were children.  How protected do you think they will be in an armed conflict? 


And when you tell us that we have "no place" in combat, then you take something from us that you do not understand.  I cannot explain it to you.  You need to think about what that means.  The first thing I wonder is does that mean that you will feel better if we die from wounds inflicted upon us in our homes, just so long as we didn't have to "see" the horrors of combat?  Or does it mean that what you choose to believe about our proper place is more important to you than our ability to survive? 

Now, I do not have
a problem with men in general.  I have a problem with people who will say anything to protect their sacred cows.  If you men love us women, you will teach us to fight.  If you men love your idea of what women should be, and where we should stay, then you men love your ideas, not us.
Now I am not waiting for any of you to decide that for me.  I have learned it, and am learning it.  For all the world, you can't be out slaying the dragon and home protecting the women at the same time.  The sooner you accept that, the better our chances of survival.

What the Feds Fear the Most



Today is the official release date for my new book, Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century. Nullification, as many readers of this site already know, refers to the power of a state to refuse to enforce an unconstitutional federal law. Most Americans have never heard of the idea, or know of it only in caricature – which is pretty much the way the New York Times likes it.

When he memorably laid out the case for nullification in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, Thomas Jefferson argued that if the federal government were allowed to hold a monopoly on determining what its powers were, we would have no right to be surprised when it kept discovering new ones. I’ve elaborated on all this in previous articles.

This important – if routinely distorted or even forgotten – history takes on unexpected relevance today, with a resurgence of interest in nullification growing all over the country, and no shortage of unconstitutional laws to which to apply it. The Tenth Amendment Center’s Legislative Tracking Page gives you some idea of the extent of a movement that is only just getting started. The purpose of my book Nullification is to make the strongest, most solidly referenced case I can in support of one of the healthiest developments in American political life in decades, and to serve as a kind of handbook for those who are serious about pursuing it.
Part II of the book contains eleven important documents hardly any American has read, but which lend additional support to the case for nullification. One of these documents has not appeared in print anywhere since 1835, yet it makes some of the strongest arguments for nullification, and against critics, I have ever read.

You can imagine what the response of critics will be to a book like this. Let me put that more strongly: you can script the critical replies down to the last syllable. If the book’s arguments are addressed at all, they will be treated at a strictly second-grade level. (Official Left and Right agree on more than they care to admit, an unswerving commitment to nationalism being one of those things.) The rest of the so-called reply will run like this: Nullification is a secret plot to restore the southern Confederacy, and Woods himself is a sinister person with wicked intentions, before which all his fancy moral and constitutional arguments are nothing but a devious smokescreen.

Anyone who actually reads the book, on the other hand, will discover, among many other things, that the Principles of ’98 – as these decentralist ideas came to be known – were in fact resorted to more often by northern states than by southern, and from 1798 through the second half of the nineteenth century were used in support of free speech and free trade, and against the fugitive-slave laws, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and the prospect of military conscription, among other examples. Nullification was employed not in support of slavery but against it.

Today, political decentralization is gathering steam in all parts of the country, for all sorts of reasons. I fail to see the usefulness of the term "neo-Confederate" – whatever this Orwellian neologism is supposed to mean – in describing a movement that includes California’s proposal to decriminalize marijuana, two dozen states’ refusal to abide by the REAL ID Act, and a growing laundry list of resistance movements to federal government intrusion. As states north and south, east and west, blue and red, large and small discuss the prospects for political decentralization, the zombies can intone scary-sounding propaganda words, instead of engaging in rational argument, all they like. The grownups, meanwhile, have important matters to discuss.

Who’s the book’s intended audience? Well, anyone and everyone, of course, as any author will tell you. But it may have particular appeal to those who actually want to roll back government power, who are prepared to embrace a new approach (given that all previous efforts against Washington’s expansion have been abject failures), and who aren’t altogether convinced that a vote for Mitt Romney in 2012 means the republic is restored. The book can also help state legislators who are unaware of or on the fence about nullification, by reassuring them that in taking this seemingly radical step they will be on eminently solid historical and constitutional ground – and that lots of state legislatures are already doing it. It also takes aim at the various objections that have been raised against nullification, from the merely uncomprehending (doesn’t this violate the Supremacy Clause?), to the more practical (wouldn’t nullification be chaotic?), to the historical (isn’t this all about slavery and oppression?).

The various categories of bad guy – e.g., law professors, Chris Matthews, the New York Times – have responded to the return of nullification about as you’d expect them to. Why, the stupid rubes think they can resist their overlords! Smear! Destroy! Crush! To the extent that such critics make any arguments at all, as opposed to mere character assassination, they either beg the question entirely or reveal a lack of acquaintance with the primary source material that would be embarrassing if such people were capable of embarrassment.

As I noted above, I’ve actually included a good portion of that source material in Part II of Nullification. Including these documents (1) makes it marginally more difficult for critics to pretend such documents do not exist, (2) helps supply advocates of nullification with additional supporting material, and (3) arms high school and college students with material they can use to drive their teachers and professors crazy, since almost none of them will be familiar with it.
As I promote the book I’ll surely be posting about my exploits on the LewRockwell.com blog, as well as on my Facebook page, my Twitter account, and my YouTube channel. It’s hard to say whether a book like this will get much media exposure, so I’d be grateful for anything supportive readers might do to help get the word out about it.

I’ll also be doing some traveling. Over the next few months I’ll be in Las Vegas, Nashville, Austin, Philadelphia (King of Prussia), Orlando, Eau Claire (Wisconsin), Dallas, Colorado Springs, Bloomington (Indiana University), Houston, Auburn (Alabama), and Phoenix; at most of these events I’ll be discussing the book, and at all of them I’ll have copies. Here’s my full schedule.
Never did I imagine that an issue I assumed would (unfortunately) remain a historical curiosity might actually be resuscitated. To my amazement, it’s being proposed all over the country, in the service of all sorts of good causes. I hope my book encourages more of it, provides supporters with useful intellectual ammunition, and explodes the idea that all we can do in the face of this regime is sit back and take it.

How the Ultimate BP Gulf Disaster Could Kill Millions

Earthhope Action Network

How the Ultimate BP Gulf Disaster Could Kill Millions

Disturbing evidence is mounting that something frightening is happening deep under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico—something far worse than the BP oil gusher.

Warnings were raised as long as a year before the Deepwater Horizon disaster that the area of seabed chosen by the BP geologists might be unstable, or worse, inherently dangerous.

What makes the location that Transocean chose potentially far riskier than other potential oil deposits located at other regions of the Gulf? It can be summed up with two words: methane gas.
The same methane that makes coal mining operations hazardous and leads to horrendous mining accidents deep under the earth also can present a high level of danger to certain oil exploration ventures.

Location of Deepwater Horizon oil rig was criticized

More than 12 months ago some geologists rang the warning bell that the Deepwater Horizon exploratory rig might have been erected directly over a huge underground reservoir of methane.

Documents from several years ago indicate that the subterranean geologic formation may contain the presence of a huge methane deposit.

None other than the engineer who helped lead the team to snuff the Gulf oil fires set by Saddam Hussein to slow the advance of American troops has stated that a huge underground lake of methane gas—compressed by a pressure of 100,000 pounds per square inch (psi)—could be released by BP's drilling effort to obtain the oil deposit.

Current engineering technology cannot contain gas that is pressurized to 100,000 psi.

By some geologists' estimates the methane could be a massive 15 to 20 mile toxic and explosive bubble trapped for eons under the Gulf sea floor. In their opinion, the explosive destruction of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead was an accident just waiting to happen.

Yet the disaster that followed the loss of the rig pales by comparison to the apocalyptic disaster that may come.

A cascading catastrophe

According to worried geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the damaged well head.

Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic submersibles working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole itself.

According to some geological experts, BP's operations set into motion a series of events that may be irreversible. Step-by-step the drilling

White House welcomes Shariah finance specialist

Obama selects Muslim expert in Islamic transactions as fellow


By Chelsea Schilling
© 2010 WorldNetDaily

Samar Ali (Photo: Vanderbilt Register)

The Obama administration has announced its appointment of 13 White House fellows – and the first person featured on its short list is a Muslim attorney who specializes in Shariah-compliant transactions.
"This year's White House fellows are comprised of some of the best and brightest leaders in our country," Michelle Obama said in the June 22 announcement. "I applaud their unyielding commitment to public service and dedication to serving their community." White House fellows spend a year as full-time, paid assistants to senior White House staff, the vice president, Cabinet secretaries and senior administration officials. 


Samar Ali of Waverly, Tenn., is the first name appearing on the White House list. She is an associate with the law firm Hogan Lovells – a firm that claims to have advised on more than 200 Islamic finance transactions
What does Islam plan for America? Read "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America" and find out!
According to Ali's biography posted on the White House website, "She is responsible for counseling clients on mergers & acquisitions, cross-border transactions, Shari'a compliant transactions, project finance, and international business matters. During her time with Hogan Lovells, she has been a founding member of the firm's Abu Dhabi office."
Hogan Lovells lists Ali's experience "advising a Middle Eastern university in the potential establishment of a Foreign Aid Conventional and Shari'ah Compliant Student Loan Program and advising a Middle Eastern client in relation to a U.S. government subcontract matter." 


"Our team members are at the forefront of developments in the Islamic finance industry," Hogan Lovells boasts. "We help set standards for the sector. We have also advised on numerous first-of-their-kind transactions, such as the first convertible Sukuk, the first equity-linked Sukuk, the first Sharia-compliant securitization, the first international Sukuk al-mudaraba and Sukuk al-musharaka, the first Sukuk buy-back, and the first Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) guaranteed Islamic project financing."
Ali also clerked for Judge Gilbert S. Merritt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and Judge Edwin Cameron, now of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. 


Promoting Islam and Shariah
The White House notes that Ali also led the YMCA Israeli-Palestinian Modern Voices for Progress Program and is a founding member of the first U.S. Delegation to the World Islamic Economic Forum. Ali was listed as a member of the British delegation to the World Islamic Economic Forum in 2009 and as a U.S. delegate in 2010


Shariah Finance Watch blog noted, "[I]t was at the World Islamic Economic Forum where key leaders declared Shariah finance to be "dawa" (missionary) activity to promote Islam and Shariah."
In fact, the president of Indonesia, H. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, delivered a March 2, 2009, keynote address to Islamic leaders at the World Islamic Economic Forum in Jakarta during which he called for Islamic banks to do "missionary work in the Western world."


"Islamic banking should now be able to take a leadership position in the banking world," he said. "Islamic banks have been much less affected by the financial meltdown than the conventional banks – for the obvious reason that Shariah banks do not indulge in investing in toxic assets and in leveraged funds. They are geared to supporting the real economy."
He added, "Islamic bankers should therefore do some missionary work in the Western world to promote the concept of Shariah banking, for which many in the West are more than ready now." 


'We didn't consider terrorists to be Muslims'

 
Ali received her law degree from Vanderbilt Law School and served as the first Arab-Muslim student body president at Vanderbilt. She has interned for the Islamic International Arab Bank in Amman, Jordan.
According to Vanderbilt Law School, Ali's mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria, and her father is Palestinian. He left the West Bank town of Ramallah at age 17. 


America.gov reported that Ali said her parents taught her to "never forget where we came from and to never forget where we are now."
"I will always be Arab and I will always be American and I will always be Muslim," she said. 


Ali spoke out at a campus memorial service days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"In my opinion," she told the Washington File, "Al-Qaida is trying to ruin Islam's reputation and we are simply not going to let them win this fight. If someone has a political agenda, they need to call it what it is, and not disguise it in the name of a religion or use the religion to achieve their political goals. This is simply unacceptable." 


While she said she grieved the loss of thousands of American lives, Ali told the File she grew concerned about whether Americans would assume that she, as a Muslim and Arab-American, approved of those attacks.
"Thus, I was worried that many of my fellow citizens, would not realize that just because my friends and I are Muslims and Arabs, did not mean that we were part of or even agreed with the terrorists who caused September 11," she said. "We didn't even consider the terrorists to be Muslims. I was worried that people would confuse Islam with Osama Bin Ladin and his agenda, that they would confuse his agenda as the agenda of all believers in Islam."


Creeping Shariah
Shariah already is moving into some elements of American society, with a lawsuit pending over U.S. government involvement in a financial institution that accommodates Shariah requirements in its business operations.
WND also reported in November 2008 that the Treasury Department sponsored and promoted a conference titled "Islamic Finance 101."
Islamic finance is a system of banking consistent with the principles of Shariah, or Islamic law. It is becoming increasingly popular, having reached $800 billion by mid-2007 and growing at more than 15 percent each year. Wall Street now features an Islamic mutual fund and an Islamic index. However, critics claim anti-American terrorists are often financially supported through U.S. investments – creating a system by which the nation funds its own enemy.

In his July 2008 essay, "Financial Jihad: What Americans Need to Know," Vice President Christopher Holton of the Center for Security Policy wrote, "America is losing the financial war on terror because Wall Street is embracing a subversive enemy ideology on one hand and providing corporate life support to state sponsors of terrorism on the other hand."
Holton referred to Islamic finance, or "Shariah-Compliant Finance" as a "modern-day Trojan horse" infiltrating the U.S. He said it poses a threat to the U.S. because it seeks to legitimize Shariah – a man-made medieval doctrine that regulates every aspect of life for Muslims – and could ultimately change American life and laws. Some advocates claim Islamic finance is socially responsible because it bans investors from funding companies that sell or promote products such as alcohol, tobacco, pornography, gambling and even pork. 


However, many Islamic financial institutions also require industry participants to adhere to tenets of Shariah law. According to Nasser Suleiman's "Corporate Governance in Islamic Banking, "First and foremost, an Islamic organization must serve God. It must develop a distinctive corporate culture, the main purpose of which is to create a collective morality and spirituality which, when combined with the production of goods and services, sustains growth and the advancement of the Islamic way of life." Three nations that rule 100 percent by Shariah law – Iran, Saudi Arabia and Sudan – hold some of the most horrific human rights records in the world, Holton said.  "This strongly suggests that Americans should strenuously resist anything associated with Shariah." 


Tenets of Shariah
In his essay, "Islamic Finance or Financing Islamism," Alex Alexiev outlined the following tenets of Shariah taken from "The Reliance of the Traveler: The Classic Manual of Sacred Law":
with an aggregate deal value in excess of $40 billion.

  • A woman is eligible for only half of the inheritance of a man
  • A virgin may be married against her will by her father or grandfather
  • A woman may not leave the house without her husband's permission
  • A Muslim man may marry four women, including Christians and Jews; a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim
  • Beating an insubordinate wife is permissible
  • Female sexual mutilation is obligatory
  • Adultery [or the perception of adultery] is punished by death by stoning
  • Offensive, military jihad against non-Muslims is a religious obligation
  • Apostasy from Islam is punishable by death without trial
  • Lying to infidels in time of jihad is permissible
'Useful idiots'
Alexiev wrote that many Islamic financial institutions claim Shariah-Compliant Finance "derives its Islamic character from the strict observance of the ostensible Quranic prohibition of lending at interest, the imperative of almsgiving (zakat), avoidance of excessive uncertainty (gharar) and certain practices and products considered unlawful (haram) to Muslims …" However, he said, "[E]ven a casual examination of the reality of Islamic finance today reveals it to be a bogus concept practiced by deceptive ploys and disingenuous means by practitioners that are or should be aware of that, but remain predictably silent."
Shariah finance institutions have funded militant Islamism for more than 30 years. Alexiev cited Islamic Development Bank's hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Hamas in support of suicide bombing. Bank Al-Taqwa and other banks and charities run by Saudi billionaires have funded al-Qaida activities.
Additionally, Shariah law mandates that Muslims donate 2.5 percent of their annual incomes to charities – including jihadists. When 400 banks regularly contribute to such charities, potential financial sums can be virtually limitless.
If Western banks endorse Shariah, they will "end up becoming what Lenin called useful idiots or worse to the Islamists," Alexiev wrote. "And it is a very thin line between that and outright complicity in the Islamist agenda."

Question: What ever happened to 'American' soil?

By Bobby Eberle June 23, 2010 7:13 AM

Answer:

It flew south of the border where Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa resides as Drug King. Calderón caught it down there and threw a net back which caught El Señor Presidente Hóbama.

H
óbama and Calderón, with China and Spain waiting in the wings, now run the conglomerate nation of MexAmerica. The constitutional monarchy of Canada ruled by the primary minister of the Crown Stephen Joseph Harper is [joke]also somewhat interested in creating the infamous North American Union, but as a lot of (particularly the socialist) snob-ass Canucks do not want anything to do with Americans it's involvement is iffy.[/joke]

Then again read this and either weep or lock and load:

[not joke]One such inland port in Kansas City has ceded sovereign United States territory to Canada and Mexico with the flags of all three countries flying over it.[/not joke] http://www.thedailybell.com/934/US-Down-Trans-Texas-Corridor-Up.html

Good one on the North American Union

There is no United States. There is, rather, The North American Union

ACTION ALERT: Support Arizona’s Immigration Law

Grassfire Action Alert

Support Arizona’s Immigration Law
Petition Sponsor:  Grassfire Nation


Sign Petition Here:

The Issue
Arizona’s tough immigration enforcement law has touched off a firestorm of protest from the Left and pro-amnesty activists who are looking to force President Obama’s hand in comprehensive immigration reform. With the media continuing to fuel the fire, Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder is now considering legal action to block the new law.


The Action
Arizona’s illegal immigration problem is also our problem, and Grassfire Nation has launched a petition to rally 100,000 citizens who applaud reasonable immigration law, while opposing aggressive efforts to discredit and demonize those who stand for law and order on border security.

Over the next two weeks, Grassfire Nation is mobilizing at least 100,000 citizens who support Arizona’s new Immigration Enforcement law (SB1070). As soon as we reach our goal, we will deliver the petitions to Governor Jan Brewer in a strong grassroots showing of support for the law.

Kyl says Obama said no border security for political reasons!




Video by SheriffJoeSupporter June 19, 2010 — On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Phoenix Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, "The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support 'comprehensive immigration reform.'" [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, "In other words, they're holding it hostage. They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with 'comprehensive immigration reform.'"

Obama not telling the truth about immigration reform!
