From my Window: FROSTY!

I am sooooo sorry that these shots are all I can offer you today. It is 0 degrees Fahrenheit. As much as I would like to go out and shoot on this sunny day in Chicago, I'm thinking it may not be the healthiest thing for me to try to accomplish.

I am, however, once again fascinated by the ice crystals on my window.

That's the Evanston, IL high-rise in the background.

There has been very little traffic along Sheridan Road. I understand Lake Shore Drive has opened again, amid controversy about its closing.

Those who 'took the Drive' after being warned of the perils were 'soooo totally stupid'. And then, they abandoned their cars--and are now being told there will be no tow charge.

Unfortunately, we live in a society which honors 'mediocrity' AND 'stupidity'. Unless we all stand up for ourselves and our families--and yes, I mean GET SOME BALLS--the nation we have known as 'the United States of America' shall cease to be--especially under the governance (?) of this current (and awfully treasonous!) Obama administration.

Harry Reid, your real name is DICK!

Reid: 36,000 Lost Jobs in February 'Really Good'

"Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good," Reid said Friday on the Senate floor.

What a stupid, old DICK!

'Carrying' can also mean disease, not just weapons!

Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Moslem Group

(My own take on the headline, as for some reason it could not ne copied and pasted from the MSWord doc, as I had saved it)

Regarding this photo: If the scanners 'see through' your clothing, why don't they see through the female's panties? Just askin', as I will never fly again!

(These images are BOGUS...somehow, I think the whole thing is BOGUS!)

(CNSNews.com) - A group of Muslim scholars says it supports airline safety, but it is "deeply concerned" about the use of airport scanners that show nude images of the human body.

“The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) emphasizes that a general and public use of such scanners is against the teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures that stand for decency and modesty,” the group said in a Feb. 10 statement posted at Islam Online.

"It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women," FCNA explained.

The group noted that Islam emphasizes modesty, (and beheading/burying alive women!) considering it part of the faith.

"The Qur'an has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts" and to be modest in their dress. While exceptions can be made in cases of "extreme necessity," FCNA indicated that passenger body scans do not rise to that level. FCNA is asking for changes in scanner software so the machines will produce only body outlines.

In the meantime, the group says Muslim travelers should choose pat-down searches over scanner images – in cases where searches are necessary.

The Fiqh Council of North America is an affiliate of the Islamic Society of North America, which advises and educates its members and officials “on matters related to the application of Shari’ah (Islamic law) in their individual and collective lives in the North American environment.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations also issued a news release on Wednesday, endorsing FCNA's statement on the use of body scanners.

*********

These Islamists are truly loonies who are out to eliminate all kaffirs (infidels)--that would be YOU and ME--because we don't fall for their biased, mysoginistic, old time religion!

After all, they kill each other, don't they? With their suicide bombs?

And they expect, if they die, the afterlife will be nothing more than a very prolonged (72 virgins) SEXUAL experience?

IDIOTS!

Obama heads for Qatar to boost ties with Muslims

He's getting redder all the time

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama’s charm offensive on Muslim states comes to a weekend forum in Qatar, where he will send a video message and his chief diplomat will give a speech, organizers said Thursday.

Obama will deliver his message to the seventh annual US-Islamic World Forum in the Qatari capital, which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will attend Sunday with other senior US officials, The Brookings Institution said. (Maybe not, now that Bill is a bit down under!)

The gathering, organized by the think-tank’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy and Qatar’s foreign affairs ministry, brings “leaders from across the Muslim world for an intensive three-day dialogue with key US officials, societal leaders and policy experts,” Brookings said.

“With President Obama determined to turn the page in America’s relations with Muslim communities around the globe, this year’s Forum will examine how to craft more robust partnerships that can help repair the deep divisions our societies,” Brookings President Strobe Talbott said in a statement.

Talbott, who was a key diplomat in president Bill Clinton’s (now given two stents, in order to live) administration, is also due at the forum, along with Richard Holbrooke, the US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan and Senate Foreign Relations Committee John Kerry.

Brookings said Clinton will join (you really think that will happen?) Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, the prime minister of Qatar who doubles as foreign minister, in delivering a speech, but no further details were immediately available.

The chief US diplomat is due to arrive in the tiny Gulf state of Qatar on Saturday (perhaps not), where she will also hold talks with the emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, and leave for Saudi Arabia on Monday, the State Department said.

At the 2008 US-Islamic forum, delegates voiced support for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, although some warned against expecting any radical policy change should he win the White House.

A year into his administration, Obama has yet to achieve any significant momentum on stalled peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and Muslim audiences are now less receptive to his promise of a “new beginning” with the Muslim world.

The visit to Qatar would complement the Obama administration’s efforts to improve ties with the Muslim world. (Right...)

In his inauguration speech last year, Obama vowed to seek a “new way forward” (You Islamists don't uderstand--he lied, just as you do!) with the Muslim world “based on mutual interest and mutual respect,” (and then, YOUR GUY KILLED our guys, so get the eff over it!) after eight rocky years under his predecessor George W. Bush.

I have never seen, in watching 14 presidents over my almost 64 years now, such a brazen asshole as is this Barack Hussein Obama, Soetoro, Dunham, Shabazz, X, et al.

And, I continue to maintain that he is the result of the union between Stanley Anne Dunham and Malcolm X, also known as Shabazz, on one fine night, as Stanley Anne may have put it.

Why would Obama be so afraid to let the American people know of his true Heritage?

His "new way forward" is simply a return to the ways of another stupid man, Saul Alinsky--Mister 'Rules for Radicals'. THAT concept is soooo old, it's almost pitiful!

Obama is an Anlinskianite, but mostly a Marxist. He is attempting to utilize very "OLD WAYS" of socialism to achieve his goal.

But, even George Soros understands that Obama is not an achiever, per se, so we are left with the 'dumb-bot' we are forced to call our president.

Well, I refuse to call him my prez, and I am certain many of you also refuse.
