  CPAC The Tea Party are you going?

  http://newamericanteaparty.com/
  
  

  Some talking points:

  1. This is a non-partisan event — in fact, it’s critical of both parties — large-scale government interventions into the free market were kicked off under Bush, and Obama’s doing no better.

  2. The American taxpayer is better at spending his money than the government. If you ask your average taxpayer if he wanted to spend millions of dollars on golf course renovations, you could be sure he’d say no.

  3. Small business owners are the backbone of the economy, not large failing corporations. Amping up regulations only hurts these businesses.

  4. It is our *optimism* that guides our frustration. We believe so strongly in the ingenuity and hard work of the American people, that we feel big government measures will only get in the way of their success.

  Also, if you’re running one of the other events, if you’d like to get a login to this site so you can give an update on how things went, we’d be happy to have you join us on here. Let us know.

  Al Right I know I am hard on the Muslims, but Really this one is about Muslim Peace WND. Exclusive

  From the pages of World Net Daily:

  A largely Muslim nation this month is hosting an exhibition highlighting a chapter of world history that has received little public exposure until now: how some Muslims risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
  

  
  

  It is well known that Islamic leaders, including the grand mufti of Jerusalem, collaborated with the Nazis in divining anti-Semitic propaganda and recruiting Arab officials to support Adolph Hitler's war against Jews. Many of today's Mideast leaders, such as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are notorious for their outspoken denial of the Holocaust.
  

  
  

  Often overlooked, however, are scores of Albanian Muslims who risked their lives to protect the country's Jewish citizens and provided refuge for Jews escaping from neighboring countries.
  

  
  

  Albania is one of the only European countries occupied by the Nazis to come out of World War II with more Jews than before the conflict. Two hundred Jews lived in Albania before the war, but hundreds more crossed the border fleeing Hitler's rise to power. Only one Jewish family was reportedly deported and killed during the Nazi occupation of Albania, whose population refused to comply with Hitler's demand to provide lists of Jews residing in the country.
  

  
  

  
  

  In 2007, Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum featured an exhibit from renowned photographer Norman Gershom, whose work profiled scores of Albanian Muslims and their families previously recognized by the museum as "Righteous among the Nations" – the Holocaust center's highest honor – for their efforts in saving European Jews.

  The exhibition has moved on to Albania, where the government and the U.S. embassy are sponsoring a tour.
  

  
  

  "I met Muslims who saved Jews. Who ever heard of that?" exclaimed Gershom, speaking to WND. "I want to do my part to honor these people on behalf of the Jewish nation."

  Gershom's showcase, also made into a book of the same namesake, is titled "Besa: Muslims Who Saved Jews in World War II."
  

  Besa is a code of honor deeply rooted in Albanian tradition demanding one take responsibility for the lives of others in their time of need.

  "I am not sure what motivated Albania's Muslims to save Jews," explained Gerhsom. "Some told me they just wanted to save God's children; others said it was the Quran or it was Besa, or that there is no Besa without the Quran or vice versa. There are all sorts of reasons and explanations, but at the heart of it all is the goodness of humanity."
  

  
  

  Gershman said he spent five years collecting material for "Besa," journeying often to Albania and visiting with families and Holocaust survivors.
  

  
  

  In his book's introduction, Akbar Ahmed, Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University, wrote, "I hope that the example of the Albanian rescuers will serve as a role model inspiring others – Muslims and followers of other faiths – to walk in their footsteps and be truly human beings when faced with similar moral challenges."

  I would hope others can pick up this book and read it.
  
  "Some told me they just wanted to save God's children" that is an example of peace and Gods love. 
  
  This post is nice and Honorable, but this is also a story is over 60 years old, where are the Muslims today in protecting others? If as correctly stated we are all Gods children, how come Muslims are silent in the free countries of the world? Should you as a person who believes in God not be a protectionist to others who are children of God?

  IceLand I knew there was something I liked about this country.....

  Since the collapse of the Icelandic economy in October 2008, the current Icelandic government formed by Samfylkingin (social democrats) and Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn (right wing conservatives), has been under heavy pressure. Every Saturday for 16 weeks people have gathered by the parliament and demanded that the government will resign, the board of the Financial Supervisory and the Central Bank will be fired, and elections will take place as soon as possible.

   

  Apart from the Saturday protests, other more radical actions have taken place during this period; people have repeatedly tried to stop government meetings from taken place, stormed in to the parliament and financial institutions and organized noise demonstrations by official buildings. The climax of the protests took place last Tuesday, January 20th, when the parliament was set after a long Christmas holyday. Thousands of people gathered around the parliament to take part in a noise demonstration that lasted for 14 hours. Since then, people have gathered daily in the center of Reykjavík, lit bonfires and protested against the government.
  

  
  A whole lot of new grassroots groups and organizations have stood up with new ideas and demands; from reformist ideas about changes inside the system to radical changes - even a new democracy. Endless articles have been written, public meetings taken place and new political websites put up.
  
  Right now it is unclear what will happen here in Iceland, but most likely Samfylkingin and Vinstri Grænir (VG - the left greens) will form a government tomorrow with the support of Framsóknarflokkurinn (The right wing progressive party) and Frjálslyndi Flokkurinn (the liberals).

  I only Bring this up, becuase they won't go quietly into the darkness the real question is will we here in America?
  
  "The demands of the people have been met.
  Therefore today is a celebration,"
       main protest organiser Hordur Torfason toldsaid

  In addition to forcing out the government and prompting new elections, the demonstrators also take credit for pushing the Financial Services Authority regulatory body to swap its board and replace its director.
  
  

   

  The only main protest demand that has yet to be met is the ousting of central bank chief David Oddsson, widely viewed as the main culprit of Iceland's economic meltdown after he as prime minister liberalised the country's financial markets in the 1990s.

  Iceland, a country of just 320,000 people, was until the crisis one of the most prosperous members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

  In the past decade, Iceland posted average annual growth of four percent, peaking at 7.7 percent in 2004.
  In 2007, it registered growth of 4.9 percent.

  But the Icelandic economy is now expected to shrink by 9.6 percent this year and see no growth in 2010, while unemployment, once almost unknown in Iceland, is expected to reach 7.8 percent in 2009 and 8.6 percent in 2010.

  
  
  Possibly just Possibly come Monday Iceland will have a new government, when will we have a return to  government.
  I wonder, when we are starving? 
  Lord I hope not.
