Obama opposes hostage lawsuits against Iran

In court papers filed Tuesday night without any announcement, the Justice Department argued that the agreement to release the hostages, known as the Algiers Accords, precluded lawsuits against Iran....

The Obama administration has asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit against Iran filed by Americans held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran 30 years ago.

The request comes in a $6.6 billion class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. Fifty-two American diplomats and military officials were held captive for more than a year at the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency by a group of Islamist students who supported the Iranian revolution.

When they start doing things in the dark of night you know that they know the American people would oppose such actions.

Now, who do you think previously did something like this?

A similar lawsuit brought by the Iranian hostages was dismissed in 2000 after the government

Now who was President in 2000??? Why William Jefferson Clinton, that's who!

Chums, it is obvious that the Dimicrats are the Surrender Party and that their leader is a shill for Iran,

How can you negotiate with anyone when you are doing things like this?

Is Belgium losing freedom of speech? Are we next?

The canary was used for years to warn of deadly gasses seeping into mines. I think it is an apt symbol of what is happening in Europe.


I return to Napolitano's word smithing of the War On Terror and Terrorism out of the HLS's vocabulary. Her calling US Vet's potential terrorists.. the FBI flyer on terrorists that didn't mention radical Muslims...... how it was not permitted to call Hussein, Hussein in the campaign for president. Most of all I return to Obamie's call for a Civilian National Security Force that is just as large, just as powerful as the US military.

And now we can see it being created through the mandatory "volunteer" service program.

In the meantime, we have this coming from Belgium, supposedly a democracy. Is it? Click here and decide.

Tom Wolfe

I like Tom Wolfe. He has, as they say (and millions have said) "a way with words."
Here's an interview that you may find interesting. What makes it really good is that it is four years old. Keep that in mind when you read and think of "now."

A teaser:

There is an inverse status in television news: the person who leaves the building least is the highest ranked. The anchormen really are the primitive version of the old linotype machine. The anchor's voice converts material written by others into a form that is easily consumable by the audience -- that's what the linotype machine did.

Democrats say cap and trade is a tax

If bullshit was a brass band, Dingel and Gore could lead the parade.

But guess what. Dingell admits that cap and trade is a tax, and a big one.

Wow.

If this doesn't make you understand what Obamie is opening us up for by destroying the CIA, nothing will.

Math in 2009

Fifty Years of Math 1959 - 2009 (in the USA )

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:

1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

2. Teaching Math In 1960s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )

6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
