In all her travels down the rabbit hole, and through the looking
glass, and all the strange sights and crazy creatures, Alice's
adventures pale by what we are being subjected to today.
But remember, we've had other wackos and other war mongers. Just not
all at once.
Remember Huey Long? A definite big mouthed whack job. And talk about
war hawks, who could beat Old Hickory? What Andrew Jackson might have
done if only he had drones and a few good tanks.
Maybe we should run a contest to see who we Americans can name as our
Number One, First Class Nut Case. I would propose the Reverend Jim
Jones. But it would be a crowded field, for sure.

To clear up your confusion, it's an anti Muslim, anti Clinton, anti

Yes, it is ironic that the Democratic Party chose this Muslim couple,
parents of a son slain in our unending war on terror, as a symbol of
patriotism and diversity, and that Liberals and Progressives have felt
impelled to come to the defense of these poor people because of the
viscious
and racist attacks on them by the unhinged right wing. But there have been
no public comments on what the use of these people as props in the
Democratic week long TV extravaganza, illustrates about what the Democratic
Party stands for. The open war mongering that has been part of this
convention was disgusting. The horror of what this country is doing in the
Mid East and Africa, of our arms sales to countries throughout the world,
of
our encouargement of coups in Honduras, Ukraine, and God knows where else,
is not being discussed by all the apologists for the party and the
supporters of Hillary, including Bernie Sanders. It is pointless to talk
about rebuilding our infrastructure, holding the banks accountable,
increasing social security, etc. while such incredible amounts of money are
being used to wage unending war. And in what is hailed as the most
progressive platform in the history of the Democratic party, there is not
one word about peace.

Thanks for the insightful exposure of Khizr Khan. But since I am not
voting
for Hillary Clinton, is this eye opener supposed to turn my head toward
Donald Trump?
My problem is that what I dislike about Hillary Clinton is exactly the same
reason I refuse to vote for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is now owned by
the Establishment. Donald Trump *IS the Establishment, whether the
Establishment likes it or not.
The Working Class, the vast majority of Americans who slave daily to keep
the Establishment Elite in comfort, have no political party to carry forth
their Cause.
Perhaps I'm missing the point of this "exposure". I assumed it was just an
effort to trash Hillary Clinton, but perhaps it is really an attempt to
rouse anger and build an angry mob to tear down the existing American
Government.

*The bull shit never stops bunch of crooks helping each other*
For those of you who like to follow current events in detail......
when will this BS ever stop? All confirmed by Breitbart and other
sources.
WHO IN THE HELL CAN WE TRUST?
BREAKING: Bombshell Connection Between Khizr Khan and Radical Islam
Revealed. Spread This
When Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father of slain U.S. Army
Capt. Humayun Khan, delivered a pointed address at the Democratic
National Convention largely aimed at attacking Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump, the media cheered, praising this
good man for coming forward to share his sad tale.
The narrative put forward by the media seemed to imply that the
relatively unknown Khan reluctantly agreed to publicly share his
story, if only to denounce what he viewed as the egregious policy
proposed by Trump to temporarily suspend immigration from largely
Muslim-populated countries suffering extreme Islamist terrorism.
But according to Breitbart, Khan may not have been an "unknown," and
his motives for speaking out may not have been as pure as the media
have seemingly implied.
It turns out that Khan has several connections to Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton through the government of Saudi
Arabia, a prestigious law firm associated with the Clinton Family
Foundation, and even his own personal law firm, which assists
wealthy Muslims with immigration to the U.S.
Khan used to work for the prestigious D.C. law firm Hogan Lovells,
LLP, formerly known as Hogan & Hartson, which is on retainer as the
primary law firm representing Saudi Arabian interests in the U.S. As
we all know, the Saudi government, and numerous individuals within
that government, have donated heavily to the Clinton Foundation.
On top of that, one of Hogan Lovell's lobbyists bundled more than
$50,000 in donations to Hillary Clinton's campaign this year. In
case one would dismiss this as a mere coincidence, one lawyer among
many, Khan is still greatly revered at the firm, where he was a
beloved colleague joined in mourning over the death of his son in
2004 in the Iraq War.
It has also been revealed that the same law firm handles the taxes
of Bill and Hillary Clinton, specifically, a lawyer named Howard
Topaz, who is alleged to have worked with Khan in the past.
Furthermore, the Hogan law firm handled the patent for a special
spam-filtering program known as MX Logic, which, coincidentally, was
the spam filter program used on Hillary Clinton's private email
As a side note, adding just another layer of coincidence, is the<https://www.commentarymagazine.com/american-society/military/rep-king-musli
fact that Hogan & Hartson used to employ one Loretta Lynch, now
attorney general of the U.S., and the one most responsible for
Clinton seemingly escaping accountability for her use of a private
email server to handle classified documents while serving as
secretary of state.
As icing on the cake of "coincidental" connections, Khan's own
personal law firm focuses largely on assisting in the immigration
process for wealthy Muslims who wish to invest money in the U.S.
through a highly questionable and suspicious visa program known as
EB5, which has been thoroughly ripped for its many flaws by GOP Sen.
Chuck Grassley.
It would appear as if Khan was not simply plucked randomly by
Democrats to deliver a heartfelt speech about his son's death and
Trump's immigration proposals, but was instead a known quantity to
Clinton with an agenda of his own to push, an agenda that happens to
be in line with that of Clinton's.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word
about who Khizr Khan really is, and why he was chosen by the
Democrats to deliver a speech against Trump at the DNC.
Dems Go Nuts Defending Muslim US Soldier's Family, Then Chilling
Truth Comes Out
It was the speech that the media can't stop bringing up as the
latest gambit against Donald Trump: The appearance of a Muslim Gold
Star family at the Democratic National Convention, blaming Donald
Trump <http://conservativetribune.com/trump-iran-mocks-parade/> for
"sacrificing nothing and no one."
During the speech, Khizr Khan, father of Army Capt. Humayun Saqib
Muazzam Khan, lambasted Donald Trump's temporary pause on
immigration from countries with links to terrorism, arguing his son
"loved America."
In the media's coverage of the incident, one fact seemed to
predominate: That Khan was one of 14 Muslims killed in action after
9/11 <http://conservativetribune.com/first-responder-trump-story/>.
However, there was one thing that they didn't point out: namely,
that this is the same number of non-Muslim U.S. soldiers killed by
Muslim U.S. soldiers in terror-related attacks during the same
period.
This is according to a report
m-american-military-statistics/>
by House Homeland Security Chair Peter King, who notes two major
terror attacks conducted by Muslim U.S. military members.
Perhaps most famously was the attack by then-Army Maj. Nidal Hasan
at Fort Hood, Texas, back in 2009, which killed 13, including 12
soldiers. Sometimes forgotten is the attack at the start of the Iraq
War in 2003, when then-Army Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar killed two and
wounded 14 in an attack
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Hasan_K._Akbar> at
Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait.
Let's be clear: Capt. Humayun Saqib Muazzam Khan was a hero, and our
deepest condolences go out to his family. However, his sacrifice is
not proof that there isn't a problem with Islamic terrorism, and
this is the fact that proved it.
The blame here doesn't lie with Trump
<http://conservativetribune.com/isis-statement-nice-attack-trump/>or
the Khans, but instead the Democrat politicians who willfully
exploited this man's loss for cynical gain. The logic behind the
messaging - that one Muslim died for our country, so therefore there
is no problem with Islamic terrorism - is prima facie absurd.
But logic wasn't what Democrats were going for. They were going for
emotion. And at the end of the day, the Islamic State group grows
stronger, and our power to fight it both abroad and within our
borders grows weaker.
