I've been crazy busy with a number of projects ... nothing to do with the blog. I notice that Darfur is once again in the news ... here are some videos I made earlier this year on that subject:

Simon Deng, a former slave from Sudan, speaks about his life and his troubled country in a speech on the West Lawn of the US Capitol April 5, 2006.

The chairman of the American Anti-Slavery Group speaks about the Arab-Muslim jihad against blacks, both Christian and Muslim, ongoing in Sudan. Speeches by Elie Weisel (Night, etc.) and Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda) ... made at the Rally to Stop Genocide, Washington DC, April 30, 2006.

Muslims to Pope: How DARE you imply that Islam is a religion of violence?!? ... er

One of my themes for this, and perhaps the next, election cycle will be what I perceive to be a slow yet steady re-alignment of the modern Jewish vote away from what was once a solid Democrat block toward the Republican Party. There are many reasons for this ... divisions over the War on Terror and the political fate of Israel being only two of them. Another is the growing anti-religious bias that is becoming increasingly mainstream in the Democrat Party. On that issue Jewish voters are finding themselves increasingly allied with the Christian Right, among others. In light of this, I attended a political rally last night for two new Republican candidates here in Maryland ... both Jewish ... Jeff Stein [left] here's his campaign website ... who is running in Maryland's 8th District. Michael Moshe Starkman [right] here's his campaign website ... who is running in Maryland's 4th District. **** UPDATE **** Both Jeff Stein and Moshe Starkman have moved on to the general election. The video [above] is the first "installment" in this series and serves as an introduction to the theme. In it, Rena Cohen of Books for Israel encapsulates the thought process currently underway in the community far better than I. I'm currently processing a video comprising both Jeff Stein and Moshe Starkman. Please check back.

A Short History of IslamoNazism courtesy In the Bullpen For your afternoon viewing pleasure. PLEASE NOTE that I should have some new stuff of my own up by the end of this week regarding a very interesting congressional race near where I live in the DC area. While we're at it, here's another collection of infomercials and kiddy-shows brought to you by the "Religion of Peace". Know your enemy. Enjoy.

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) encourages anti-US demonstrations ... Not much going on right now ... though there are a number of demonstrations scheduled for later this month. I'll report on them as they come up. It's a soggy day today so I thought that I'd reprise a video I made earlier this year, (some of which was re-broadcast on Fox News Hannity & Colmes) in which we hear Father Louis Vitali remark on a conversation he had with Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) about the war in Iraq and the need for people like him to take to the streets. And remember that Reid is the Minority Leader in the Senate ... and would probably be the Majority Leader if (C"V) the Democrats take the Senate in November. Election day isn't that far off, after all.
