NEW YORK CITY: What they don’t want you to see, thousands of New Yorkers rallying against the building of a $100 million mosque at Ground Zero. You don’t see this in the lame stream media, part two from LookingAtTheLeft.com.

NEW YORK CITY: Yesterday New Yorkers gathered at Ground Zero to rally against the new $100 million mosque being built on the site. The proposed mosque is an affront to New Yorkers who lost loved ones due to the radical Islamic terrorists who destroyed the twin towers on 9/11.

Pamela Geller, the co-founder of Stop Islamization of America, spoke passionately about jihad, sharia, and why the idea of a mosque in this spot is so wrong:

We are here today in honor of D-Day, when the Allied Forces began to defeat Nazism. And the symbolism should not be lost. Not only should the symbolism not be lost, but we’re on the corner of Church and Liberty.

Ground Zero is a war memorial. Ground Zero is a burial ground…We are asking for sensitivity…

This is part of the plane that went into the Trade Center, that’s in the Burlington Coat Factory (the building that was bought with mysterious funding for the mosque). Designate it as a historic landmark, like Pearl Harbor. We are going to sue the U.S. Government to get a designation of war memorial status.

Haven’t we had enough of Political Correctness? It’s time to stop the radicalization of America. Read the full story at LookingAtTheLeft.com.

Israel Prepares for Chemical Attack (Xinhua/Reuters)

TEL AVIV: Just hours ago Israel initiated a country-wide defense drill to prepare for nuclear, chemical and biological attacks from Iran and other hostile countries. Iran has declared its intention to “wipe Israel off the map.” The Iranian-funded Hezbollah has stocked more than 40,000 rockets capable of hitting Israel, some capable of carrying nuclear, chemical and biological payloads.

Today Israeli businesses, schools, hospitals, government offices and citizens took part in the nationwide drill:

Hundreds of Thousands of Israelis came to standstill at 11 a.m. local time (0900 GMT) on Wednesday and took shelter in fortified safe rooms when air sirens wail across the country as the culmination of a nationwide civil defense exercise…

Starting on Sunday, the five-day massive drill aimed at preparing army, local authorities and civilians for possible missile and rocket attacks on Israel, as well as natural disasters, according to the statement.

This year’s exercise simulates emergency scenarios, including missile and rocket attacks as well as strikes by unconventional weapons, to test the preparedness of the local authorities and the cooperation between different crews during such scenarios, the statement added. Xinhua News

While Israel prepares to defend itself, Obama feels that his contribution to the safety of the region is to prohibit Israeli development in Israel’s own capitol and to send an annual wish to the Iranian people wishing them a Happy Nowruz. Obama apparently accepts the inevitability of a nuclear Iran.

The left views Obama’s peacemaking as enlightened and progressing to a new world order where common sense prevails. Supposedly this will prepare the human race to evolve into a more advanced civilization. Such a viewpoint is not only at odds the history of our species but probably contrary to natural law. Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking warned that faith in the benevolence of aliens is naive. The NIP thinks that Obama’s faith in the rationality of the Iranians is either naive or simply an indication of his support of a nuclear Iran.

WASHINGTON: Just a reminder, Eric Holder is Attorney General of the United States. He is in charge of keeping us safe. In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee he refuses to even say the words “Radical Islam.” Hearing Holder dissemble and evade the question gives substantive insight into the mindset of this administration. It is clear that in this administration’s view not only are we not at war with terror, but there is no such thing as “Radical Islam.”

Here are 2 questions for you:

1. Are you one of the folks who voted for Obama?
2. Are you feeling safer now than you did 2 years ago?

ERIC CHESLEY:New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg can keep his 25 cents because his opinion isn’t worth even that much. In an interview on Sunday night’s CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, Bloomberg made a thinly veiled accusation that a homegrown, healthcare hating American was behind the attempted Times Square bombing. What does this description conjure up in many American’s minds? Tea Party members.

Bloomberg said that the attempt:

Looks like an amateurish job done by at least one person, and that if I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that, somebody home-grown, maybe a mentally-deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the healthcare bill or something.

Seriously? After two successful terrorist attacks by Islamo-fascist and who knows how many failed attempts, Mayor Bloomberg places his bet on a fellow citizen. Why is it that Bloomberg did not suggest that a May Day protestor, or a G8 protestor where behind the attempted bombing? Could it be because Mayor Bloomberg and his ilk are eager for the opportunity to use violence to their political advantage? Read more…

Obama Lectures Netanyahu

WASHINGTON: Obama’s willingness to offend our allies while coddling our enemies is doing tremendous damage to long-standing alliances that have been in place during both Democratic and Republican administrations. Obama highlighted his shift in Middle East policy in a news conference on April 13th:

It was just a phrase at the end of President Obama’s news conference on Tuesday [April 13th], but it was a stark reminder of a far-reaching shift in how the United States views the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and how aggressively it might push for a peace agreement.

When Mr. Obama declared that resolving the long-running Middle East dispute was a “vital national security interest of the United States,” he was highlighting a change that has resulted from a lengthy debate among his top officials over how best to balance support for Israel against other American interests. Mark Landler and Helene Cooper, NY Times

Obama has placed restrictions on Israeli settlements as a precondition for Middle East peace talks. You may remember when candidate Obama cited his willingness to meet with any totalitarian regime without preconditions, he was rebuffed by Iran who insisted on conditions of their own, embarrassing the United States and winning prestige from the Arab world in the process.

In dealing with our allies Obama is not so generous, our allies must wish they were treated as well as our enemies. Obama wants to call the shots and dictate conditions over Israel’s own capitol city, and he gets mad when he doesn’t get his way. Apparently he’s vindictive and is not afraid to humiliate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to prove a point. We here at the NIP wish he would be as bold with our enemies as he is with our friends.

Nick Popaditch "Cigar Marine"

JAMES SIMPSON: A common complaint we hear about members of Congress is that they have never served in the military. A total of 95 veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and the National Guard are current House members (the 96^th, John Murtha just died). This represents a mere 20 percent of sitting Members of Congress and is a record low. We can chalk this up as one good reason for Congress’s stunning ignorance regarding military matters.

“I will go to Washington to do battle against Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Steny Hoyer and the rest of them. They have never seen anything like the Southern fried butt whipping that’s coming at them!” Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.)

Among the many encouraging signs for the nation as we head into the 2010 midterm elections is the number of first-time Republican candidates for Congress who are recent military veterans. There is even an organization supporting them: Iraq Veterans for Congress (IVC).
