TIME MAGAZINE: Taliban orders to cut off nose of abused Afghan girl (photo)

Posted by FactReal on July 31, 2010

HORRORS FROM THE TALIBAN
Are leftists finally awakening to the barbarism of the Taliban? I don’t think so. Are they finally going to defend the rights of women living under Islamic Sharia law? One can only hope. But for whatever reason, the leftists from Time Magazine in their latest issue remind the world about the Taliban’s brutality.
Time Magazine: What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan

“Time magazine’s latest issue carries this disturbing cover image. It’s a portrait of Aisha, a shy 18-year-old Afghan woman who was sentenced by a Taliban commander to have her nose and ears cut off for fleeing her abusive in-laws.

Aisha posed for the picture because she wants the world to see the effect a Taliban resurgence would have on the women of Afghanistan.

Her picture is accompanied by a powerful story on how Afghan women have embraced the freedoms that have come from the defeat of the Taliban — and how they fear a Taliban revival.”
…That from the leftist UK Guardian [1]

The story of Aisha: [2]

“The Taliban pounded on the door just before midnight, demanding that Aisha, 18, be punished for running away from her husband’s house. Her in-laws treated her like a slave, Aisha pleaded. They beat her. If she hadn’t run away, she would have died. Her judge, a local Taliban commander, was unmoved. Aisha’s brother-in-law held her down while her husband pulled out a knife. First he sliced off her ears. Then he started on her nose.”

“As the war in Afghanistan enters its ninth year, the need for an exit strategy weighs on the minds of U.S. policymakers. Such an outcome, it is assumed, would involve reconciliation with the Taliban.”

“Talk that the Afghan government is considering some kind of political accommodation with the Taliban frightens [Aisha]. “They are the people that did this to me,” she says, touching her damaged face. “How can we reconcile with them?”"

Another case: Taliban sends wife ahead of him…in a minefield: [2]

“For Afghanistan’s women, an early withdrawal of international forces could be disastrous.”

A foreign human-rights team in Afghanistan noticed that in the cities, “women walked six paces behind their husbands. But in rural Helmand, where the Taliban is strongest, they saw a woman six steps ahead. The foreigners rushed to congratulate the husband on his enlightenment — only to be told that he stuck his wife in front because they were walking through a minefield.”

Is this brutality what the coward from WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, wants to perpetuate by leaking classified documents of the war in Afghanistan?

DID YOU KNOW?
1. Islamic attacks against Americans started decades before 9/11
2. Islamic Crusades predate the European Crusades

MEMOGATE: Obama’s Amnesty Memo to Bypass Congress and the American People

Posted by FactReal on July 30, 2010

GOVERNING BY FIAT = TYRANNY
Breaking News!!!
Via The Corner:

According to an internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services memo going the rounds of Capitol Hill and obtained by National Review, the agency is considering ways in which it could enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action” — that is, without the consent of the American people through a vote in Congress.

[...]

In recent weeks, Sen. Chuck Grassley and others in Congress have been pressing the administration to disavow rumors that a de facto amnesty is in the works, including in a letter to Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano. “Since the senators first wrote to the president more than a month ago, we have not been reassured that the plans are just rumors, and we have every reason to believe that the memo is legitimate,” a Grassley spokesman tells NR.

Mexican Marxists Assault Maricopa Jail during Arizona Protest. Ron Gochez there? (video 7/29/2010)

Posted by FactReal on July 30, 2010

Mexican Reconquest?
Arizona, July 29, 2010.- Hundred of protesters harassed and taunted police at the entrance of Sheriff Arpaio’s Maricopa County jail. The protesters waved the Mexican flag in the face of police officers. They also carried a Cuban flag with the image of Marxist killer, Ché Guevara. The leftist agitators are demanding more despite the winning handed to them by Judge Bolton when she blocked the most important parts of SB1070 Arizona immigration law.

Sheriff Arpaio: The protesters are trying to “hold my jail hostage.” (Video)

 
(Hat tip: Drudge, Breitbart)
Where have we seen that Cuban flag with Ché Guevara’s image? (3/28/2010) Remember Ron Gochez, the L.A. teacher calling for Revolution? (2007)

-

Ron Gochez taunted exiled Cubans with a Ché/Cuban flag at an anti-Castro rally in Los Angeles. His taunting almost caused a riot. Ron Gochez, the Marxist teacher from Los Angeles, called for a Mexican revolt in the U.S.

DEMOCRATS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE? DEMOCRAT CHARLIE RANGEL’S ETHICAL & ARROGANCE PROBLEM (videos)

Posted by FactReal on July 26, 2010

ANOTHER LIBERAL WITH ETHICAL & DELUSIONAL PROBLEMS
Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has been charged with multiple ethics violations (13 major charges.) Amazing! This man used to be the chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee which writes our nation’s tax law. No wonder our tax laws are so convoluted.

Democrat Rangel berates MSNBC Luke Russert for asking about his political future (7/22/2010)
Rangel has been in congress for almost 40 years that he seems to think he is Zeus, father of gods and men.
Arrogance of Power:

Rangel himself is displaying his usual delusional character, as well as the typical arrogance and sneering contempt often displayed by those firmly entrenched in the Washington, DC culture (of corruption, apparently). It is shown here, in this video clip of a quick interview with Luke Russert, son of the late Tim Russert. Note, he’s flabbergasted that Russert is with MSNBC and can’t believe he’s actually being questioned, without softballs, by a journalist from that network:

Rep. Charlie Rangel swears at Jason Mattera over scandal questions (March 2009)
“Why don’t you mind your goddamned business?”:

“Rangel can’t stand the heat over his mounting ethical/financial scandals. When Hot Air TV special correspondent Jason Mattera confronts the tax cheat, Rangel has a snit fit.”
