What's up with the world today?
1. The Washington Times has featured a front page story on CAIR's (Council on American-Islamic Relations) declining membership since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The group has dropped from approximately 29,000 members to 1,700 members. With the increased decline, the organization relies on a specific number of donors to contribute to the organizations tenure.
Let us digest exactly what this organization really does. CAIR, which has its headquarters in Washington, D.C. (scary) is a civil liberties organization for Muslims inside the United States. The group was founded in 1994 by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahmad, and Refeeq Jaber. The group is supported and funded by the Islamic extremist group, Hamas.
So this group created in 1994 is to promote tolerance and acceptance of American Muslim practices. The group willingly acknowledges that it has ties to terrorist organizations... cough cough Hamas (you know, the Palestinian Islamist group that wishes to seek Israel's complete and utter destruction and who is funded by Iran's government.
This group also jumped to the rescue of the six imams who caused the disturbance on the airplane a few months ago. Remember that little episode... Six guys with long beards speaking Arabic get onto an airplane, praying loudly, asking for seat belt extensions, sitting in a very similar pattern as the 9/11 hijackers, and chanting anti-Americanism. So what happened? These six men were taken off the airplane to avert a possible terrorist attack. So now they are suing the airline and filing a lawsuit against those who reported this suspicious activity. Thank God for good citizens.
To sum it up, CAIR backs terrorists and receives funding from Islamic radicals? And why do we allow this organization to exist within the United States. Your guess is as good as mine.
2. The President is visiting Capitol Hill today promoting his immigration bill with strong hopes to change a few minds. What the President needs to do is scrap the bill and actually enforce the laws. Let's imagine if ten people were allowed to sit inside the lunch amid the Senators and the President. And we each had three minutes to make our case about border security. I guarantee that 10/10 of those people would tell the President exactly the same thing: Will will not settle for amnesty. The current bill allows illegals a pass at the law and does not give those who actually do follow the law to become an American citizen a fair shot. The President needs to know that this is not the time to be playing politics especially with something as dire of an issue as immigration and the future of national security. Write a policy that actually works. Oh, and anytime President Bush and Ted Kennedy claim they have found middle ground, a large, red siren should be screaming in our faces. Ted Kennedy finding middle ground is like the Baltimore Orioles winning the world series. That is just not gonna happen. As for the lunch, at least the food should be pretty good.
3. Fred Thompson is gaining on Giuliani in the most recent Times/Bloomberg poll. Okay people, Thompson has not yet even entered the race yet but he's so-called gaining on Rudy? I do not even know what to believe when it comes to polls. I think that when Fred Thompson does get into race it will pull a lot of support away from both McCain and Romney. People ask me all the time who I think would be a good president. I think all of our Republican candidates matched up with the Democratic candidates, any one of our guys would be much better than any of their guys. But if I had to say which one I want now, I think the Republicans have the best shot at winning with Romney. I will explain later, but just watch... Romney is smooth, confident, and competent. I also believe that Newt should jump into the race. I think Newt would make an excellent President.

4. Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) - Have you ever actually watched this guy?
5. Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn- Sassy
6. Congressman John Bohaner- Awesome majority leader
