The Dan Lee Report

The Qur’anic Candidate
By Bret Rivers

Rick Warren’s televised two hour question and answer session with Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama was the most interesting and informative event that I have seen involving either candidate’s participation.

There has been speculation as to whether or not Sen. Obama was raised as a Muslim or as a Christian as a young child. I have heard unconfirmed reports of both. The unscripted manner in which Sen. Obama answered the questions directed at him has shown me that Sen. Obama spent his early years as a Muslim.

My conclusion is not based on the content of his answers. Sen. Obama’s answers were very much in line with the liberal thinking of the far left of his political party and do not reflect traditional Muslim values. The interesting quality of Sen. Obama’s answers is all the evidence needed to see Obama’s method of thinking and expressing his thoughts.

The Qur’an is considered infallible by faithful Muslims and it is the core of not just Islam, but of the lives of all Islamic people. Young Muslim boys learn to read by reciting the Qur’an and through repetition, they develop rudimentary sight-reading that further formulates into more sophisticated mental processes of translating the written word into ideas and speech. Non-Muslims who learn by sight reading learn exactly the same way.

The point where Muslims and non-Muslims part in their early learning processes is in the reading material itself. The Qur’an is infallible. It is full of contradictions and leaps of logic, but it must be considered infallible nonetheless. When young minds in their formative years are drilled for hours every day, year in and year out, on reading materials that are self-contradictory, they learn to recite whole ideas without the use of critical thinking.

Young Muslims learn to memorize groups of words that represent whole ideas, but they do not learn to synthesize ideas from experiences.

When Sen. McCain was asked a variety of questions, he answered by reflecting upon his own experience and he applied it to the subject at hand. McCain’s answers were grounded in his life as an adoptive father, a prisoner of war, an individual who has seen the ugly face of war, witnessed the courage of men who risked their lives for freedom under McCain’s leadership, and as a man whose faith kept him alive during the most trying times that anyone could endure.

A long lifetime of facing difficult decisions has led Sen. McCain to some conclusions that I personally disagree with, but they have been made through a balanced and self-consistent thinking process. McCain’s answers were not based on dogma. His strong will and his purposeful intentions to do what is right instead of what is popular or what the party line has demanded are a result of his intellectual strength.

When Sen. Obama answered the same questions each and every response was a whole idea that anyone could have pulled from a variety of written sources. Some of his answers were based on Bible verses, some were from his political party’s platform, and some were from the left wing ideology of his supporters and speech writers.

There was nothing in any of Obama’s answers that convinced me that he is capable of processing ideas through critical thinking. He is a reflection of his living environment and not a master of it. Sen. Obama has shown in this situation that he is very capable of communicating the ideas of the left, but he has also displayed an inability to use the value of his personal life experience to synthesize his own perspective on any of the subjects covered in his question and answer session with Rick Warren.

This form of truncated intellect that allows one to retrieve detailed blocks of words without deliberation is a hallmark of Islamic style education. The blind acceptance of ideas as individual units with no consideration of the fact that they may contradict other blindly accepted ideas is a necessary component to Islam because it is the only way that the Qur’an can remain infallible.

The cornerstone of Western thinking and education is the Judeo-Christian tradition of observation, inquiry, and critical thought. Islamic style thinking and education is based completely on rote memory.

Sen. McCain’s answers to Warren’s questions were clearly based on what he had learned from life. Sen. Obama’s answers to the same questions were clearly based on what he had memorized from others.

Dan Lee comments:

I’m being honest about my own feelings here. Watching the following video, & considering Bret’s analysis, I’m just plain frightened for my country now. How did this guy even get this far? Warning, some graphic images:

~Dan Lee

In Iran, you can do these things & be convicted without being stoned: murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, drug trafficking, prostitution, treason and espionage.

But if you do this: “adultery” You will almost certainly be convicted & stoned to death, especially if you’re a woman (if the numbers/percentages tell a story.) This week 8 women & 1 man are scheduled to be executed at the direction of Iranian judges & officials.

Does anyone else think the extremist human rights wackos that are bothering our soldiers about interrogation methods, should maybe spend more of their time having these discussions with Iran instead?

Seems to me that a being executed for a roll in the hay (no matter how distasteful the circumstances) is a bit more extreme than being smacked around at Guantanamo for being a suspected terrorist/enemy combatant.

If things were right, groups like Amnesty International would be spending their time working on the most urgent & horrific travesties of justice, instead of sticking their nose into the Military’s decisions on how to handle so called “freedom fighters” who belong to no organized army, & therefore have no rights under the Geneva convention anyway.

Save the Iranians Amnesty International! Prioritize! Human Rights before Political agendas! Isn’t living up to your name of any importance to you anymore?

~Dan Lee

The victims of 9/11 had no trial, no judge, no lawyers. Yet they were instantly executed by incineration, falling from the trade towers (or being forced to jump), or being blown to little pieces by some of the very terrorists who await military trial at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Despite those hard facts, Our liberal friends on the supreme court have just given foreign terrorists rights that I can guarantee that you would not have in THEIR native countries. If you were suspected of terror in some of these middle eastern countries you would not even make it to jail before your head was rolling around without you in some dark alley or slaughter house. They have also given them rights that they do not deserve by any stretch of the imagination. They are NOT US citizens, & do not have rights under our constitution, no matter what these moronic so-called “justices” have done.

Now, our supreme court as a whole has betrayed the victims of 9/11, their families, our nation, & completely failed the United States citizens who entrusted them with protecting US & OUR RIGHTS, instead of giving those rights over to foreign enemy combatants.

In a despicable act of omission most major media outlets have whitewashed the story leaving out justice Anthony Scalia’s ominous prediction & statement: Scalia: “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.”

What highest court has done, is it has forgotten the lessons of 9/11. Sadly, what it will probably take is for the idiots who we’ve allowed into our court system & government to see thousands more of our citizens murdered in another large scale terror attack. Even then, they may be too far gone to learn any object lesson at this point.

Scalia also said the following in his dissenting opinion:

“The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”

Your nation’s sovereignty is being hauled off in tiny bits like ants stealing from a picnic, & most of America is oblivious to it happening. This is a very sad day for what was once a great & sovereign country, but is now being eroded to mediocrity by Liberals with no courage. The ACLU have become like legalized domestic terrorists, & are destroying this country from within, & the general population is letting them do it by continuing to vote for liberals like them. Someday fairly soon, they will all see how deceived they’ve been, but it will be too late. The only way out then, will be another civil war, as this nation’s legal system is now being stolen out from under its own citizens by insane & corrupt liberals who’s educational qualifications far, FAR outweigh their moral integrity. Problem is, most Americans have become too passive & spoiled, & would not appear to have the stomach to fight against a rogue Government. We as a nation have let the enemies of mankind infiltrate several of our most critical systems of government, & now we will all have to pay for it dearly. We are beginning to see the fruits of Liberal Labor against their own country in the gas prices we are paying now. If you think this is bad, Just wait until liberals sell us out to the whims of muslim nations who control most of the oil. Remember, it is liberals who are keeping us from drilling for our own on our own soil.

We are certainly a nation that has regressed in the name of “progress” & become lost. May God help us, as only he can.

Sure, you can come to America & step on our flag on the streets of NYC (for instance), & insult our country & our people. You can do it all under free speech, yes you can.

But now, the other edge of the double edged sword comes back around to bite you in your hateful asses.

I & others can expose you to the masses for the bitter & hateful people you are, using (You Guessed It!) FREE SPEECH! Then, the people can decide who the evil ones are. Oh, & I don’t even need to get a permit! The floor is yours.. Allāhu Akbar! الله أكبر

A clue: This isn’t Denmark, & it’s not Britain either.

It’s cheaper to buy hard nose (full metal jacket) bullets for Target Shooting, which is the only thing any responsible gun owner hopes he’ll ever need his handgun for (save those who hunt with handguns.)

However when you see hateful psychotic ideologues who will even try to justify the rape women in the name of “Allah”, you are quickly reminded why you spent the extra $15 or so bucks for the more deadly hollow point ammunition. If crazy Muslim extremists like the one in the video/interview below decide they are going to “punish me” by death, or rape my wife for “punishment”, I want to make sure that I mortally wound as many as I can before they have a chance to do any harm to me or my family.

You might be thinking, Whoa! This dude is way too angry! That’s scary!

I assure you that I’m much less angry than just prepared. Read on & then tell me who’s really scary. My gun stays in it’s holster if they stay out muh bidness..

In a recent question-and-answer session with Imam Abdul Makin in an East London mosque, he was asked why Allah would tell Muslims to kill and rape innocent non-Muslims, including their wives and daughters, according to Islam Watch.

His responses? Here’s what some of them were:

In the East London Mosque, preacher Imam Abdul Makin was asked by a niqabi muslima about recent fatwa from a well known Imam .

Naqabi Woman: “One eyed hooked Imam Hamza Mesri said muslims can kill British infidels and have sex with their wives and daughters, Do you agree with him?”

Imam: “It is not what Imam Hamza said nor is there a question of my agreeing with him or not. It is in Quran thus those are Allah’s orders.”

N.W.: “But why would Allah tell muslims to kill and rape innocent non muslims?”
Imam: “Because Non-muslims are never innocent, they are guilty of denying Allah and his prophet. If you don’t believe me, here is the legal authority, the top muslim lawyer of Britain, Anjem Choudhary (Video).”

N.W. “ But our Prophet was sent as a mercy for all the humanity; he never hurt any body in his life”

Imam: “Yes he never hurt a muslim in his life. But Allah said non-muslim are lowest beasts and worst creatures in ayas 8.22,8.55,95.5 and 98.6 and muslim are ordered to kill them.”

N.W.:” But did prophet approve of killing them and raping their wives?”

Imam: “Yes he did. He not only approved of such acts, he and his sahabas practiced it regularly under Allah’s orders. He was helpless in it… If you don’t believe me , you have to believe sahih hadiths. I will quote you two hadiths about his typical day after a raid. These hadiths are about the raid on jewish village Khaibar whose chief was Kinana who had gorgeous 17 year old wife Safia. Prophet tortured and beheaded Kinana in front of Safia and raped her all night afterwards.

“Because non-Muslims are never innocent, they are guilty of denying Allah and his prophet,” the Imam says, according to the report.

“If you don’t believe me, here is the legal authority, the top Muslim lawyer of Britain.”

The lawyer, Anjem Choudary, backs up the Imam’s position, saying that all Muslims are innocent, in the video below.

Now you good little infidels stay off of Facebook, or we’ll cut your face, well… Off…

Middle East Imperative
by: James Cash, Brigadier General, USAF, Retired

I wrote recently about the war in Iraq and the larger war against radical Islam, eliciting a number of responses. Let me try and put this conflict in proper perspective.

Understand; the current battle we are engaged in is much bigger than just Iraq. What happens in the next year will affect this country and how our kids and grand kids live throughout their lifetime, and beyond. Radical Islam has been attacking the West since the seventh century.
They have been defeated in the past and decimated to the point of taking hundreds of years to recover. But they can never be totally defeated. Their birth rates are so far beyond civilized world rates, that in time they recover and attempt to dominate again.

There are eight terror-sponsoring countries that make up the grand threat to the West. Two, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan just need firm pressure from the West to make major reforms. They need to decide who they are really going to support and commit to that support.

That answer is simple. They both will support who they think will hang in there until the end, and win. We are not sending very good signals in that direction right now, thanks to the Democrats. The other six, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Libya will require regime change or a major policy shift. Now, let’s look more closely.
Afghanistan and Iraq have both had regime changes, but are being fueled by outsiders from Syria and Iran . We have scared Gaddafi’s pants off, and he has given up his quest for nuclear weapons, so I don’t think Libya is now a threat.

North Korea (the non-Islamic threat) can be handled diplomatically by buying them off. They are starving. That leaves Syria and Iran. Syria is like a frightened puppy. Without the support of Iran they will join the stronger side. So where does that leave us? Sooner, or later, we
are going to be forced to confront Iran, and it better be before they gain nuclear capability.

In 1989 I served as a Command Director inside the Cheyenne Mountain complex located in Colorado Springs, Colorado for almost three years. My job there was to observe (through classified means) every missile shot anywhere in the world and assess if it was a threat to the US or Canada. If any shot was threatening to either nation I had only minutes
to advise the President, as he had only minutes to respond.

I watched Iran and Iraq shoot missiles at each other every day, and all day long, for months. They killed hundreds of thousands of their people. Know why? They were fighting for control of the Middle East and that enormous oil supply.

At that time, they were preoccupied with their internal problems and could care less about toppling the west. Oil prices were fairly stable and we could not see an immediate threat.

Well, the worst part of what we have done as a nation in Iraq is to do away with the military capability of one of those nations. Now, Iran has a clear field to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them.

They have turned their attention to the only other threat to their dominance, they are convinced they will win, because the US is so divided, and the Democrats (who now control Congress and may control the Presidency in 2008) have openly said we are pulling out.

Do you have any idea what will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran, which they will obviously do if we pull out? It is not the price of oil we will have to worry about. Oil WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE to this country at any price. I personally would vote for any
presidential candidate who did what JFK did with the space program—declare a goal to bring this country to total energy independence in a decade.

Yes, it is about oil. The economy in this country will totally die if that Middle East supply is cut off right now. It will not be a recession. It will be a depression that will make 1929 look like the
“good-old-days”. The bottom line here is simple. If Iran is forced to fall in line, the fighting in Iraq will end over night, and the nightmare will be over.

One way or another, Iran must be forced to join modern times and the global community. It may mean a real war—if so, now is the time, before we face a nuclear Iran with the capacity to destroy Israel and begin a new ice age.

I urge you to read the book “END GAME” by two of our best Middle East experts, true American patriots and retired military generals, Paul Vallely and Tom McInerney . They are our finest, and totally honest in their assessment of why victory in the Middle East is so important, and
how it can be won. Proceeds for the book go directly to memorial fund for our fallen soldiers who served the country during the war on terror. You can find that book by going to the Internet through Stand-up America at http://www.ospreyradio.us/, http://www.ospreyradio.us/ or http://www.rightalk.com/, http://www.rightalk. com/.

On the other hand, we have several very angry retired generals today, who evidently have not achieved their lofty goals, and insist on ranting and raving about the war. They are wrong, and doing the country great harm by giving a certain political party reason to use them as
experts to back their anti-war claims.

You may be one of those who believe nothing could ever be terrible enough to support our going to war. If that is the case I should stop here, as that level of thinking approaches mental disability in this day and age. It is right up there with alien abductions and high
altitude seeding through government aircraft contrails. I helped produced those contrails for almost 30 years, and I can assure you we were not seeding the atmosphere. The human race is a war-like population, and if a country is not willing to protect itself, it deserves the consequences.
‘Enough - said!’

Now, my last comments will get to the nerve. They will be on politics.

I am not a Republican. And, George Bush has made enough mistakes as President to insure my feelings about that for the rest of my life. However, the Democratic Party has moved so far left, they have made me support those farther to the right.

I am a conservative who totally supports the Constitution of this country. The only difference between the United States and the South American, third world, dictator infested and ever-changing South American governments, is our US Constitution.

This Republic (note I did not say Democracy) is the longest standing the world has ever known, but it is vulnerable. It would take so little to change it through economic upheaval. There was a time when politicians could disagree, but still work togeth er. We are past that
time, and that is the initial step toward the downfall of our form of government.

I think that many view Bush-hating as payback time. The Republicans hated the Clinton’s and now the Democrats hate Bush. So, both parties are putting their hate toward willingness to do
anything for political dominance to include lying and always taking the opposite stand just for the sake of being opposed. JUST HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR OUR COUNTRY?

In my lifetime, after serving in uniform for President’s Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan , and Bush I have a pretty good feel for which party supported our military, and what military life was like under each of their terms. And, let me assure you that times were
best under the Republicans.

Service under Jimmy Carter was devastating for all branches of the military. And, Ronald Regan was truly a salvation.

You can choose to listen to enriched newscasters, and foolish people like John Murtha (he is no war hero), Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and on-and-on to include the true fools in Hollywood if you
like. If you do, your conclusions will be totally wrong.

The reason that I write, appear on radio talk shows, and do everything I can to denounce those people is simple. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR THIRST FOR POLITICAL POWER AND QUEST FOR VICTORY IN 2008 ABOVE WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY. I cannot abide that.

Pelosi clearly defied the Logan Act by going to Syria , which should have lead to imprisonment of three years and a heavy fine.

Jane Fonda did more to prolong the Vietnam War than any other human being (as acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writing before he died). She truly should have been indicted for treason, along with her radical husband, Tom Hayden, and forced to pay the consequences.

This country has started to soften by not enforcing its laws, which is another indication of a Republic about to fall.

All Democrats, along with the Hollywood elite, are sending us headlong into a total defeat in the Middle East, which will finally give Iran total dominance in the region. A lack of oil in the near future will be the final straw that dooms this Republic.

However, if we refuse to let this happen and really get serious about an energy self-sufficiency program, this can be avoided. I am afraid, however, that we are going in the opposite direction.

If we elect Hillary Clinton and a Democrat controlled congress, and they carry through with allowing Iran to take control of the Middle East, continue to refuse development of nuclear energy, refuse to allow drilling for new oil, and continue to do nothing but oppose everything
Bush, it will be over in terms of what we view as the good life in the USA.

Now, do I think that all who do not support the war are un-American—of course not. They just do not understand the importance of total victory in that region.

Another failure of George Bush is his inability to explain to the American people why we are there, and why we MUST win.

By the way, it is not a war. The war was won four years ago. It is martial law that is under attack by Iranian and Syrian outside influences, and there is a difference.

So, what do I believe? What is the bottom line? I will simply say that the Democratic Party has fielded the foulest, power hungry, anti-country, self absorbed group of individuals that I have observed in my lifetime. Our educational system is partially to blame for allowing the mass of America to be taken in by this group. George Bush has done the best he can with the disabilities that he possesses.

A President must communicate with the people. And, I would tell you that Desert Storm spoiled the people. Bush Senior’s 100-hour war convinced the people that technology has progressed to the point that wars could be fought with no casualties and won in very short periods
of time. I remember feeling at the time, that this was a tragedy for the US
military. To win wars, you must put boots on the ground. When you put boots on the ground, soldiers are going to die. A President must make the war decision wisely, and insure that the cause is right before using his last political option.

HOWEVER, CONTROLLING IRAN AND DEMOCRATIZING THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE ONLY CHOICE IF WE ARE HELL BENT ON DEPENDING ON THEM FOR OUR FUTURE ENERGY NEEDS.
