We may therefore conclude that there is neither jihad nor martyrdom outside the realm of truth, that martyrdom applies only when it is preceded by jihad, that jihad is an inclusive struggle for the cause of the truth, that a mujahid dies the death of a martyr even though he does not fall on the battlefield. He dies as a martyr even though he is not killed, on the condition that he stays loyal to the divine truth and stands ready to fight for the truth and to defend it at all costs, even at the cost of his own life. He is a mujahid while he lives, and a martyr if he dies or is killed for it. 

We have explained that a martyr establishes himself as a paradigm and a model. Both shahid (martyr) and shahid (model) are derived from the same Arabic root. In this sense, the concept of shahada is closely related to the concept of prophethood in Islam. Both the martyrs and the prophets are regarded as paradigms (2:143). 


I'm not as accomplished with the written word as some of you, but the excerpt from the above article is how I believe obama views himself. He is systemically destroying the West. The more I study islam, the more I believe it.

Matt Stoler's new article is titled "What Democrats can do about Obama" and is one of the best pundit articles I have written all year.

That says it all............ I AM SICK of all IIIIIIIIIIIII's ...........and MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's

I don't think the Obama voter regret has reached critical mass yet, otherwise Cheney's recommendation would be getting serious consideration by Dem insiders...

It would be awesome to see though, Operation Chaos on steroids!

Hillary is philosophically the same as Obama.  The only difference is that he's a black male and she's a white female.  I also think she is more competent than him.  Cheney had better be careful what he wishes for.

It is so thoroughly hilarious watching them rationalize that Obama's plummeting popularity and the ass-kicking they received last November are because, doggone it, he just hasn't been left-wing enough!

Much the same way the libs have been saying we don't spend enough on education and revere teachers enough...


well, we see how that's worked out...

Yup. And the more I study Obama, the more I believe it.

Well, here it is Saturday, September 10th and it's time for another installment in our ongoing series of "gosh, O'Bama sure is a disappointment" stories.

Tonight's exciting episode is brought to you by way of the New York Times (which always makes it especially nice).

“The frustrations are real,” said Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, who was the state chairman of Mr. Obama’s campaign four years ago. “I think we know that there is a Barack Obama that’s deep in there, but he’s got to synchronize it with passion and principles.”

There is little cause for immediate optimism, with polls showing Mr. Obama at one of the lowest points of his presidency.

His own economic advisers concede that the unemployment rate, currently 9.1 percent, is unlikely to drop substantially over the next year, creating a daunting obstacle to re-election.

Liberals have grown frustrated by some of his actions, like the decision this month to drop tougher air-quality standards.

And polling suggests that the president’s yearlong effort to reclaim the political center has so far yielded little in the way of additional support from the moderates and independents who tend to decide presidential elections.

“The alarms have already gone off in the Democratic grass roots,” said Robert Zimmerman, a member of the Democratic National Committee from New York, who hopes the president’s jobs plan can be a turning point. “If the Obama administration hasn’t heard them, they should check the wiring of their alarm system.”

Mr. DeFazio recalled attending a dozen or so town-hall-style meetings recently in his district, a slice of western Oregon that Mr. Obama carried in 2008 by 11 percentage points. Mr. DeFazio said party loyalists had bluntly said they were reconsidering their support.

“I have one heck of a lot of Democrats saying, ‘I voted for him before, don’t know if I can do it again,’ ” he said.

 Don't trust them!! Our candidates need to campaign as if they were 10 pointd behind.

But of course, JF.

I look on these anecdotes as encouragement.

That and they are funny.

Very funny.

And we deserve a laugh, if nothing else.

Alright, this article isn't penned by a distraught O'BamaVoter, depressed over how limp and flaccid his hero has recently become. No. This is a great little piece from the Weekly Standard on the Narcissist in Chief. Why am I including it here? Well, first of all it describes a whole bevy of reasons as to why O'BamaVoters are freaking out in ever growing numbers and secondly, it's just a good read...

Earlier this year on March 11, a Friday, Japan was struck by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake. An hour later a 30-foot tidal wave swamped the northeast portion of the country, killing thousands and leaving devastation in its wake. Four hours after that, Japan declared itself in a state of nuclear emergency. Within days, at least three of the country’s nuclear reactors were in states of partial meltdown. While the crisis in Japan was accelerating, oil prices continued to hover around $100 per barrel, America’s domestic economic recovery continued to disintegrate, a revolution in Libya continued to blossom into a full-fledged civil conflict, and American troops continued to fight in Afghanistan.

On Saturday, March 12, President Obama played golf. On Monday, March 14, President Obama visited a middle school in Northern Virginia to kick off a week’s worth of activities centered around “Winning the Future” of education. Because it was a big day, he also kicked off a “Sunshine Week” celebration to trumpet reforms to the Freedom of Information Act. On Tuesday, March 15, President Obama sat down with ESPN to tape a segment about his NCAA March Madness picks.

As he surveyed the globe you could practically hear Obama thinking to himself, Chance the Gardener-style, I like to watch .??.??.

And it sums up this way:

Bill Clinton’s vanity was that he wished he could have been at the center of a world historical event. Barack Obama’s vanity is that he believes he is a world historical event. And the greatness of his being dwarfs any necessity to establish greatness through action. That’s why, despite his passivity as president, we’re likely to see a much more vigorous Obama in the coming months as he switches from governing to campaigning. However ambivalent he may be about leading the country, arguing for the indispensability of Barack Obama is the one project that has always commanded his full attention.

Highly recommended reading.

Wow. Should be required reading. Kudos. May need to print this one for future reference. Mr Last should be given some sort of award for subjecting himself to This type of torture. I'd need s scrub and multiple showers, a shrink and a vacation after tackling this subject matter.

[rickl]

Yes, that was good.

My only quibble is the part "as he switches from governing to campaigning".  He's never not been campaigning.  Remember the Tucson "memorial service" complete with T-shirts?

With Obama, there is campaign mode, mid grade mode and high test. Now, at the end of his miserable tenure, he has added turbo boost.

Some interesting insights for sure. In honor of Hussein Downgrayedd...

RE: Yesterday's loss of NY-9 and NV-2

Even before the polls closed, the recriminations – something short of panic, and considerably more than mere grumbling – had begun. On a high-level campaign conference call Tuesday afternoon, Democratic donors and strategists commiserated over their disappointment in Obama. A source on the call described the mood as “awful.”

“People feel betrayed, disappointed, furious, disgusted, hopeless,” said the source.

I really like the calls to dump Obama!

Bloomberg poll puts Obama re-elect number at … 29%


posted at 9:25 am on September 14, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
 

"Maybe America is becoming “a very difficult district” for Democrats, especially Barack Obama.  Bloomberg’s new poll puts his job approval rating at a mundane 45/49, although Bloomberg reports that it’s the lowest approval level he has had in the series.  But a peek inside the actual numbers shows a startling data point that should have the Obama 2012 team keeping their resumés updated.
First, Bloomberg headlined their report on the poll “Obama approval plummets on jobs plan,” with a majority of respondents rejecting Porkulus II:
A majority of Americans don’t believe President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan will help lower the unemployment rate, skepticism he must overcome as he presses Congress for action and positions himself for re- election.
The downbeat assessment of the American Jobs Act reflects a growing and broad sense of dissatisfaction with the president. Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy by 62 percent to 33 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted Sept. 9-12 shows. The disapproval number represents a nine point increase from six months ago. …
By a margin of 51 percent to 40 percent, Americans doubt the package of tax cuts and spending proposals intended to jumpstart job creation that Obama submitted to Congress this week will bring down the 9.1 percent jobless rate. That sentiment undermines one of the core arguments the president is making on the job act’s behalf in a nationwide campaign to build public support.
Frankly, I chalk the fact that Obama even has 40% for this retread of his failed 2009 Keynesian package to the innate optimism of Americans, with a healthy dose of blind loyalty among liberals.  It’s telling, though, that the jobs bill gets less support than Obama’s overall job approval.  He’s not just singing preaching to the choir, he may be only singing preaching to the altos and tenors.  At least to start, the jobs bill won’t be a gamechanger for Obama — at least not in the direction he’d like."
