    Congratulations Chris! You Have just earned a Fatwa for publishing one of Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard Mohammed caricatures. Did you know Westergaard has been involuntarily retired?

    Now, Comedy Central is censoring South Park after the creators (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) depicted Mohammed disguised in a bear suit.

    RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “South Park,” which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

    “We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show,” the posting reads. “This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”

    Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to “raise awareness.” He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to “explain the severity” of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.

    “It’s not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome,” al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. “They’re going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It’s just the reality.”

    Looks like the radical Muslims win again. I thought in America there was something called freedom of speech.

    Comedy Central bleeped out all references to the Prophet Muhammad in Wednesday night’s episode of “South Park” after receiving a warning from a radical Muslim website.

    The episode was a continuation of last week’s episode which depicted Muhammad in a bear suit.

    Comedy Central confirmed to FoxNews.com it had censored the show, and that the episode was not available on its website either.

    In addition to bleeping the words “Prophet Muhammad,” the show also covered the character with a large block labeled “Censored.”

    .Until authors, cartoonists stand up to these violent bullys this will type of intimidation will continue. So much for liberty and freedom at Comedy Central.

    • What Kind of Socialist is Barack Obama?
      Yes, Obama’s agenda is socialist in a broad sense. The Obama administration may not have planned on seizing the means of automobile production or asserting managerial control over Wall Street. But when faced with the choice, it did both. Obama did explicitly plan on imposing a massive restructuring of one-sixth of the U.S. economy through the use of state fiat—and he is beginning to do precisely that.

    • Arizona governor signs immigration law; foes promise fight
      Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer today signed into law an immigration bill that gives the state toughest law in the nation, making it a state crime to be in the country illegally and requiring local police to enforce federal immigration laws.

      Brewer said she signed the bill in response to "the crisis the federal government has refused to fix.''

      Hispanic leaders addressing the hundreds of protesters at the Capitol immediately vowed to wage a legal fight, and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said he wants the city to sue.

      Time for the immigration debate to begin anew.

    • CA-Gov: California Nurses union stages Queen Meg protest
      A fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman today at the Sutter Club in Sacramento drew the second installment of the nurses union's traveling Queen Meg protest road show, which debuted last night in Beverly Hills.

      As Whitman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and their supporters met in the club, several dozen nurses, state employees and others made a ruckus on the sidewalk, holding signs reading "Queen Meg, Rich Enough to Rule! 2010."
      +++++++
      The California Nurses Association UNION has become a far left political organization. Note the Saul Alinksy tactics.

      You know, it will be quite easy to turn it around and ridicule Jerry Moonbeam Brown. I can hardly wait.

    • ObamaCare: Report says health care will cover more, cost more and with Medicare Cuts
      President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law is getting a mixed verdict in the first comprehensive look by neutral experts: More Americans will be covered, but costs are also going up.

      Economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department concluded in a report issued Thursday that the health care remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million to the coverage rolls.

      But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, since Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, the report warned.
      ++++++
      Democrats will wear ObamaCare around their necks for a decade or more – like an albatross

    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    The Service Employees Union International (SEIU) fashions itself as the modern radical LEFT. In the 1950’s it would be called “RED” after Soviet Union styled workers Communism.

    Let’s look at Andy Stern who had been this union’s leader since 1996.

    I doubt many Americans understand the “RED” influence on today’s labor unions and particularly ones who represent government and quasi-government employees.

    But, American voters DO have the right to know who is influencing President Obama and the Democrat Congressional leadership and their push to expand the role of government.

    • Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard put on indefinite leave following attacks
      Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who has been attacked and repeatedly threatened over a drawing of Prophet Mohammed, has been placed on indefinite leave by his newspaper "for security reasons," he told AFP Thursday.

      "It is forced vacation but it looks a lot like I'm being retired," the 75-year-old cartoonist said, adding that he himself still had an "insatiable desire" to work.
      +++++++
      And, work he should be allowed to do. Come to the US?

    • CA-Sen: Massive Statewide IE Attacks Tom Campbell's Record In Support Of Higher Taxes
      The American Future Fund is in the midst of a massive statewide independent expenditure in the Republican primary for United States Senate. Their efforts, for now, seem entirely devoted to "voter education" on the background of candidate Tom Campbell. Their efforts include a television spot (which is at the bottom of this post) and also includes a direct mail campaign. The mail piece immediately below was received in my mailbox yesterday. It features longtime FR friend Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. They also have launched a website — TomISTheTaxMan.com.
      +++++++++
      And, statewide absentee ballots will be mailed within a few weeks. The polls will not be able to keep up with the fast paced media campaign in the next 6 weeks before the primary election.

    • CA-Sen & CA-Gov: Campbell, Whitman hold wide leads in Republican primary races
      Former Rep. Tom Campbell has opened up a double-digit lead over his two rivals for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, while Meg Whitman maintains a wide margin over Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner in the GOP gubernatorial battle.

      The results were part of a new Capitol Weekly/Probolsky Research poll conducted jointly by Republican pollster Adam Probolsky and Democratic pollster Ben Tulchin.
      +++++++
      The poll is almost two weeks old and paid media is just beginning in the Senate race.

    • Shocker: Obama suggests value-added tax may be an option
      President Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that a new value-added tax on Americans is still on the table, seeming to show more openness to the idea than his aides have expressed in recent days.

      Before deciding what revenue options are best for dealing with the deficit and the economy, Obama said in an interview with CNBC, "I want to get a better picture of what our options are."
      +++++++
      Here come the tax increases to pay for Obamacare et al.

      Socialism here we come.

    • Passing ObamaCare Was Just The End of the Beginning
      Of course, this is just one example of many we'll be seeing in which Democrats will push for additional government intervention in an attempt to correct problems caused by government. Elsewhere, for instance, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman is talking about reviving the public option if the insurance exchanges don't produce enough competition. Of course, it's kind of hard to produce real competition when all insurance policies on any exchange have to meet the design specifications of the federal government.

      So, to sum up, with one hand, Democrats want to regulate insurers like public utilities, which don't have actual competition. And then, with the other hand, they want to use that lack of competition as a justification to create an entirely government-run insurer.

    • Five 2010 Senate races to watch for Tea Party impact
      They wave signs at rallies, but the question remains: Will Tea Partiers sway the 2010 elections and, if so, where will their influence be felt the most?

      “I would say the most well known races where this movement is having an impact are [in the] Senate, where establishment Republican candidates who are not fiscal conservatives are beating insurgent candidates who are,” said Max Pappas, managing director for FreedomWorks PAC.

      Heading into primary season, keep an eye on these races:
      1. Nevada
      2. Arizona
      3. Kentucky
      4. Florida
      5. Utah
