Pennsylvania Democrat supports Radical Islamist groups like CAIR and Hamas over support for Israel. And his voting record reflects his Anti-Israel views.

For Jones, Human Rights be damned

Eric Dondero:

AntiWar activist and left-libertarian conspiratorialist Alex Jones, said on his nationally-syndicated radio show recently, that friendship with Iran would be the best course. Jones was interviewing libertarian Republican Senate candidate Peter Schiff. The GOPer was taking a more Pro-Defense stance, which angered Jones.

Finally, at one point in the interview, Jones proclaimed himself to be a Ron Paul supporter, and then added this:

"if we try to be friends with Iran that this wouldnt be an issue..."

The audio podcast can he heard here.

Jones by advocating friendship with Iran, ignored the massive Human Rights violations of the Iranian government. Not once during the broadcast did he bring up the subject of the deaths of thousands of Iranian protesters in the Streets of Tehran during the pro-democracy demonstrations in the summer of 2009.

Ahmadinejad and his Radical Islamic government are also deniers of the Holocaust. Ironically, Jones himself is a 9/11 Truther who believes Islamists did not attack the United States, and has even raised the possibility that Jews in New York, knew of the attacks ahead of time.

9/11 Truther Alex Jones upset with Schiff's Goldwater Republican views

Jewish Republican and libertarian candidate for the GOP nomination for US Senate in Connecticut Peter Schiff, re-stated his tough stance on Iran on the Alex Jones show recently. Jones, a strident Ron Paulist and Anti-War activist was taken aback by Schiff's stridency.

Examiner columnist Martin Hill describes the exchange:

Jones asked Schiff about some comments he had made late last year regarding Iran's possible developlent of nuclear weapons. Explaining that he does not want to invade and occupy Iran, Schiff nevertheless stated once again that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon, the U.S. should use its' military might to bomb the facility and "blow the place up'".

Here are Schiff's responses:

"I've got to win a Republican primary, I can't appear as if I don't want any national defense. I don't think a nuclear Iran is something we should allow. The terrorists are not rational. They're willing to die for a cause. If we know for sure, for sure, if theyre developing a nuclear weapon..."

And later on:

".. we want to wait until Iran actually drops a nuclear weapon , smuggles it into a major american city , murders millions of people, and then we'll respond. That is not the credible policy for a senate candidate, I don't think."

Jones reacted with ingidnation, suggesting that Schiff had Pro-Bush views.

Saudis funding building of Mosques in U.S.

"The thing that gets me most upset is the stone age treatment of women..."

"That Mosque that's going up in Roxbury is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood... it's getting Saudi money. And the Saudis are ridiculously intolerant of other religions in their society. We need to stand up to Saudi Arabia, even if that means the price of oil goes up. I'm not saying we need to invade Saudi Arabia. I am saying we've got to stop them from invading us."

A Milton Friedman, Frederich Hayek follower

Mike Stopa candidate for US Congress, 3rd District in Massachusetts declared himself a "libertarian" in a radio interview rebroadcast on YouTube in June. He separated himself from the views of GOP moderates, but also distanced himself from the tendencies of the GOP's small non-interventionist wing.

From YouTube interview released June 19:

From time immemorial I have been a libertarian, deeply free market activist, a Milton Friedman follower, a Frederich Hayek follower. Someone who believes in the free market. And this is all from my Polish upbringing. My father was a small businessman. I learned early on of the importance of the free market, not taxing people to death as they aspire to get higher in society.

I have a very critical stance on people like McCain, Lindsay Graham, particularly on their stance on illegal immigration.

On foreign policy:

Ron Paul does not seem to understand the need for America to play a leading role on the international stage. He never says it, but what he really wants to do is draw us back to our borders.

I admire Ron Paul for a lot of reasons. His critique of the Fed for instance, very well taken... Austrian economics. I've got a lot of good things to say about him. But I would not follow him off the edge of the cliff on foreign policy."views.

Michael Stopa is a Physicist specializing in computation and nanoscience in the Physics Department at Harvard University. He describes himself as one of the only, if not the only "fiscal conservative" professors at Harvard.

A 26-year old woman was raped, beaten and then murdered by members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards for "improper dress."

From Persian2English website, July 11
"26 Year Old Woman Raped and Murdered by Basij Members for “Bad Hijab”":

Basij forces who had initially stopped her jumped into her car and threatened her with a gun. Two other Basij members joined in and all together they beat and raped her. They murdered Babazadeh and dumped her body close to Emamiyeh cemetery.

After local investigation was conducted by HRANA members in Tabriz, it was confirmed at Babazadeh’s funeral that the person who killed her was the son of a high-ranking Revolutionary Guards member.

The intentions of the savage Basij members was to put a stop to the “improper” way women in society dressed. Basij members believe this is their duty to God.

Ayn Randian Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs notes:

Raping their people to death is a popular tool of Iranian law enforcement...

This is the horse Obama backs .......... this is all so heinous and barbaric, and the US tacitly supports the mullahcracy. He says nothing, does nothing

Economy permently stuck in neutral

by Clifford F. Thies

The ruling, center-left Japanese Democratic Party lost big in the just concluded elections of half of the upper house of their country's national parliament. Even with its large number of holdovers, the Democrats and their junior coalition partner have lost their majority in that house. As to whether they will be able to bring in new coalition partners so as to regain a majority or with merely a plurality is unclear at this time. The Liberal Democrats and the life-minded New Komieto and Your parties (like that name), picked up seats, but not enough to constitute a majority. There are also a handful of independents and the Social Democrats and Communists.

This defeat of the Japanese Democratic Party in the upper house elections, will make advancing their political agenda more difficult (if the party could be said to have an agenda), even though they continue to dominate in the more powerful lower house. The Democrats surged into majority status after the country had grown weary of the center-right Liberal Democrats continuous deficit-spending, cronyism, and creeping tax increases, especially after the departure of the personally popular and reform-minded Junichiro Koizumi. The problem for the Democrats is that what they stand for is not clear other than being the alternative major party to the Liberal Democrats.

At this time, there is widespread disagreement about basic policy matters such as raising the sales tax, lowering the corporate tax, cutting the deficit and re-nationalizing the post office (and its ginormous postal savings department). The economy of the country seems to be in a deep funk, burdened by the largest national debt by far of any advanced economy, a very complicated tax structure featuring high marginal tax rates, as well as geopolitical uncertainties. With its rapid turnover of prime minister during the past several years, the country looks ungovernable, the way ours did during Jimmy Carter's failed presidency.

Arizona Republicans uniting behind Brewer

Arizona state Treasurer Dean Martin was presenting a stiff primary challenge to incumbent Republican Governor Jan Brewer. But since the lawsuit against his State by Attorney General Eric Holder, he has decided to drop out.

From Politico "Martin drops challenge to Brewer" July 9:

“The Obama Administration's lawsuit is a blatant attempt to divide us and I will not be part of the problem; rather I intend to be part of the solution,” Martin wrote. “Governor Brewer is going to need all our help to shoulder the burden of defending Arizona from the federal government. It is our duty to stand together as Arizona residents against an intrusive federal bureaucracy.”

Brewer reacted:

"I respect Mr. Martin’s decision to suspend his campaign for Governor. I am grateful to have his support in our fight against the Obama administration and their failed policies including border security, health care, and job creation. I agree with Mr. Martin that the greatest threat to Arizona’s economic recovery is from the Obama administration and those who embody his agenda"
