[ April 16, 2024 ]
A school board member in St. Louis has come under fire for objecting to a library book, objecting to special privileges given a girl who said she was a boy, and for using Muslims in an example of special treatment gone amok — rhetoric that’s earned him, in the eyes of a local newspaper, the tag of racist.
And now coomes the Council of American Islamic Relations, decrying the school board member’s statements as well, and demanding his resignation.

This — from the group that’s tied to terror. Can it get more ludicrous?
From the American Thinker:
A progressive summer storm has blown across the Illinois prairie and settled over the St. Louis suburb of O’Fallon, Illinois, full of sound and fury and, well, not exactly signifying nothing, but rather seeking the pound of flesh that the progressive jihadists need to satisfy their bloodlust. The current recipient of the One Minute Hate is a mild school board member who committed the mortal sin of challenging liberal stupidity and thus must be destroyed. The man in question – one Steve Springer of the O’Fallon School District 90 – challenged several left-wing orthodoxies and is now facing the leftists’ wrath.
According to the Belleville News Democrat, Mr. Springer has displayed bigotry and racism for the following offenses:
1. He objected to a library book reading that was billed as a “social justice for kids” event and was aimed at children as young as five years of age. Springer thought it wrong that young children be indoctrinated into leftist political grievance policy.
2. Mr. Springer objected to a girl who said she is a boy being given special privileges to use faculty restrooms. He said in an email:
Now, the American Psychiatric Association says gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The World Health Organization agreed until just a short time ago. Whether it is or not, the fact remains that special treatment simply points out the problem rather than alleviates it. What will happen if a child says he doesn’t think he should have legs (body dysmorphia)? Will the school provide a wheelchair for such a child? What if a kid thinks he is still an infant (infantilism)? Will playpens and diapers be provided? This is indeed a denial of reality, and these oh, so tolerant parents are demanding that their children be educated to believe that reality doesn’t exist.
3. He made a comparison to special treatment for others, such as Muslims:
Next up?? Yes, next will be a place for Mohamed to wash his little feet and face Mecca three times during the school day[.]
To rub salt in the progressive wound, Mr. Springer is a member of the Pachyderm Club, a Republican organization in the metro east area. Oh, and his wife is a former president of this radical institution.
This has led to angry school board meetings and protests by people who are identified by the media as parents. The ringleader is one Ray Roskos, who just so happens to be field director for the Illinois Federation of Teachers. Roskos used Freedom of Information requests to obtain Springer’s private emails and thus launch the jihad.
The Council of American Islamic Relations has moved in, demanding Springer’s resignation over “Islamophobic comments made about Muslim children.”
Faizan Syed, CAIR-Missouri executive director, had this to say:
Anyone who targets children with this type of derogatory language is unfit to serve on any school board. Mr. Springer should resign immediately[.]
Strange; Islamophobia would be fear of Islam, and yet, if we are to accuse Mr. Springer of anything, it would be quite the opposite. He was speaking in opposition to special privileges for Muslim children, which evinces little fear. CAIR’s complaint is that Springer is not showing what it feels is the proper deference to Muslims, a common complaint from a people who are imbued with a sense of Muslim privilege.
Maddeningly, every report on this story describes CAIR as a civil rights organization and fails to mention its connections to terrorism. CAIR has ties to Hamas and was declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.
Oh, and Islam is a religion, not a race. One chooses it. There are all manner of people who are Muslim – blond-haired, blue-eyed people from the Balkans, black people from sub-Saharan Africa (think Barack Obama’s family), people from Bangladesh, from Indonesia, from the Philippines. You cannot accuse someone of racism for statements about Islam. But racism has become the ad hominem attack by the left, and anyone who disagrees with leftists over anything is surely a racist.
This is the Alinskyite tactic of “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Springer, an older American whose speech may be a bit antiquated, had the misfortune of falling afoul of postmodern leftist sensibilities.
I wonder: would CAIR be upset if Mr. Springer had substituted, say, Catholics for Muslims? Had he said, “What’s next – supplying rosary beads and giving out Communion?,” would they – or any of these sensitive offendees – have become upset? It was Springer’s choice of Muslims that wound these people up.
And it’s interesting to note that CAIR, an Islamic organization, remains strangely silent on Springer’s other “sins” here. The organization berates him for “Islamophobia” but does not mention its own homophobia, which is inherent in Islam. When ISIS threw gay men off the tops of buildings, it was following Koranic law, and CAIR knows it. That is because Muhammad said gay people “should be thrown from tremendous height then stoned.” The Taliban used to bury homosexuals in a pit and topple a stone wall on them. Flogging and even execution were common in places like Saudi Arabia. I direct you to the Koranic verses 15:73; 7:80-82; 26:165-175; 27:55-58; 29:28-29.
Also, there is a haditha, Sahih Al-Bukhari, from Sunni ahadeeth, in which Muhammad condemns transgenderism:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet … cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, “Turn them out of your houses.” The Prophet … turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar turned out such-and-such woman.
So by Islamic standards, Mr. Springer is a defender of Islam, not an enemy. The good Muslim would stone, or at least cast out, the girl who thinks she’s a boy who started this whole progressive Jihad.
And what of the “bigoted” objections by Mr. Springer to a forum promoting social justice warfare to young children? I hope CAIR has an answer to that, as it is a huge fan of censoring free speech and is always demanding silence from critics of Islam. Apparently, free speech cuts only one way.
Clearly, the progressives think so. They demand silence from Springer and those who agree with him, but at the same time, they attack him over free speech “rights.” This is much like the Islamic approach:
Fight against those who do not obey Allah and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day and do not forbid what has been forbidden by Allah and His messenger even if they are of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. (9:29)
That is exactly why progressives launch these vicious attacks: to wear out the opposition, to make us feel “subdued.”
That is why a man who makes a few harmless remarks can be so maligned by the left. This is civilizational jihad all around.

CAIR needs to be eradicated. It is a terrorist tied organization and Americans must not tolerate this enemy inside our country any longer.

Agree. why are Republicans not marching in protest against hounding of this Republican ? That is how Republicans lose out. Left/Jihadis work like a machine to kill conservative ideas that oppose left/jihadi infiltration in schools/colleges.
Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.
that is how you fightback

Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals
Here is the complete list from Alinsky.
* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Keep these rules handy!

If only Jeff Sessions hadn’t recused himself from enforcing our laws… I’d expect him to jump on this. Sure he throws us mad dogs a bone now and then but too many things escape his law enforcement.
I wonder what Mister Magoo will do about the DOJ IG report. Some of it involves Hillary so is that off limits too? That would leave Rosenstein to handle fallout. He is as guilty as those in the report. He renewed the FISA warrant based on a silly Russian dossier and on and on it goes with the criminals investigating themselves. Many of us yearn for proper justice.

Hate Crime Resolution to Criminalize SOME Speech
Passes the Senate
* It was introduced by Kamala Harris, the female Obama,
Dianne Feinstein, Susan Collins, and Marco Rubio.
* It gives NO protection to Christians, lip service to Jews
and PUSHED and DRAFTED by MUSLIMS!
By S. Noble
June 20, 2017
Why are Republicans helping Democrats pass hate speech laws instead of eradicating the ones we already have? The Senate passed a resolution that only addresses minorities, leaving persecuted Christians without protection.
The problem with these resolutions is they single out people and make them a PREFERRED CLASS SUPERIOR to OTHERS. It also LIMITS FREE SPEECH by criminalizing some speech.
There’s one other problem. Marco Rubio is one of the four who introduced it, along with another Republican, Susan Collins and two Democrats.
It’s likely a resolution with no substance that panders to some minorities.
This NEW resolution is one that was PUSHED BY ISLAMISTS.
On April 4, 2017, the US Senate passed Senate Resolution 118,
“Condemning hate crime and any other form of racism, religious or ethnic bias, discrimination, incitement to violence, or animus targeting a MINORITY in the United States”. The resolution was DRAFTED by a Muslim organization, EmgageUSA (formerly EmergeUSA) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).
The UNSUBSTANTIATED claim in the bill is that hate crimes against Muslims have increased by 67 percent, allegedly reaching a level of violence targeting Muslim Americans that the United States had not experienced since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001.
The bill includes some lip service to anti-Semitism.
Marco Rubio was one of four who introduced the resolution
It was introduced by Kamala Harris, the female Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Susan Collins, and Marco Rubio.
The Islamists credited them all.
“Thanks to the hard work of Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Kamala Harris we have achieved the approval of Senate Resolution 118, an anti-hate crimes bill drafted by Emerge-USA.”
Emerge USA has held events at terror-links mosques.
Instead of shutting down terror-tied mosques, they’re CATERING to them.
The resolution seeks to criminalize hate crimes
These are some of the things they’ve called on law enforcement to do, in addition to improving their reporting of so-called hate crimes:
• to expeditiously investigate all credible reports of hate crimes and incidents and threats against minorities in the United States;
• to hold the perpetrators of those crimes, incidents, or threats accountable and bring the perpetrators to justice.
This one sounds like they want to go after hate thought crimes:
• encourages the development of an interagency task force led by the Attorney General to collaborate on the development of effective strategies and efforts to detect and deter hate crime in order to protect minority communities;
Judith Bergman of The Gatestone Institute wrote: The law already prohibits violence and threats of violence, and law enforcement authorities are supposed to prosecute those — intimidation, destruction, damage, vandalism, simple and aggravated assault. What “hate crimes” are not already covered by the law?
Why did these people, including two Republicans,
pass this resolution supporting terror-tied Islamists?
The reason is because Islamists have their hooks into both political parties.

Islam is not a religion; it is a political ideology. They call it a religion so as to take advantage of our First Amendment. They throw gays off roofs and stone them? Then that should include most Muslim men who enjoy sex with young boys, each other, animals, and anything that moves. If we Americans don’t educate ourselves and again THINK for ourselves, we will be overrun by these horrific savages. Look what is happening in Europe. Do we want that here?
