Failing Coakley Campaign: Dems Blame Bush

Dems blaming bush for everything from Haiti's earthquake to Martha's Coakley failing campaign is getting pretty comical.

The Muslim Cabbie Who Saved Chrismas

There aren’t too many people who don’t remember Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, also known as “The Grinch.” It was a 2000 American film starring Jim Carey based on the 1957 book of the same name by Dr. Seuss. For four weeks it sat as the #1 film in the U.S., eventually earning $260 million at the US box office and breaking the 2007 Guinness World Record for Highest-Grossing Christmas Movie.

At the same time, I bet there are very few American who’ve heard the story of the Muslim cabbie who saved Christmas. It is another heartwarming but true Christmas story that took place last year on Christmas eve that is worthy of being made into a film for its profound effect. This was a story about honesty, integrity, ethics, and human decency, yet those who heard about, knew very little about the honest cabbie or where he came from.

It began with an Italian traveler, Felicia Lettieri, a 72 year old grandmother along with 6 members of her family who took two cabs from midtown Manhatten on Christmas eve. Mrs. Letterie left her purse and a hand bag in one of the cabs. Inside her bag was over $21,000 of the group’s traveling money, expensive jewelry, and some of group’s passports.
After realizing she had lost this great fortune, she went to the police who told her “not to get her hopes up.” Her family echoed these sentiments, telling her that “this is New York. Forget about it. You have lost everything.”

Not so quick! The cab driver was a medical student from Queens, N.Y. who took a job few days a week driving a taxi after his hours were cut back at his former job. When he found the purse, he looked for contact information. Seeing the rolls of euros, nevertheless he never bothered even counting the money. He finally found the address and then asked a friend of his with a car to drive him 60 miles one way to Patchogue. When he got there, no one was home. He left his cell phone number with a note “Mrs. Letterie, don’t worry about your money, it is safe.”

After he left home to Queens, his phone rang, and it was Mrs. Lettieri, he then drove back again another 60 miles and returned all the lost items, refused to accept the reward offered him and returned back home, having driven a total of 240 miles, all for this one woman he did not know.

When asked by a reporter if he was tempted to keep the cash, he answered, “I am needy, but not greedy.” adding that when he was five, his mother told him, “be honest, work hard, you will raise your status.”

This man is precisely the type of person you want as your physician. He clearly is a man of enormous ethics and high moral principles. He has given us all a gift by his actions and integrity
.
Mrs. Lettierei’s sister, Francesca, 79, said, the honest cabbie had saved her family’s Christmas vacation. adding, “we really love what he did.”

Oh yes, I all most forgot to mention, the cabbie is Mohammad “Mukul” Asaduzzaman, 28 years old and a native of Bangladesh. Many newspapers that published this story omitted his first name for some odd reason with the exception of AP wire service. Other daily papers ignored other ‘bothersome’ facts, such as his country of origin and that he was a Muslim, thereby denying American Muslims like me a moment of pride.

No one can forget the panic and hysteria created in America and all over the world as a result of the failed Christmas bombing aboard flight 253. In contrast, the message of this Muslim medical student story is very clear–namely that these are the kind of stories we need to hear more! Real people, honest, hard working, not politicians and religious fanatics as representative of American Muslims

Felon Wannabe Calls Someone Else "Bastards"

Voter fraud is a felony in most states. Advocating felonious conduct in Massachusetts? Ed Schultz. What a flamer.

This is the first time in my life that I really am worried about a rigged election in America. I thought that rigged elections were very much against our national psyche.

Further, I don't trust anything Massachusetts these days.

Martha Coakley, Big League Liar

Martha Coakley, the horrible woman running for the United States Senate in Tuesday's special election in Massachusetts, is pouring blatantly false ads about her opponent, Scott Brown. The ads claim that Scott Brown wants hospitals to turn away rape victims.

The truth is that as a state legislator, Mr. Brown proposed an amendment to a bill permitting "morning after" pills for rape victims. The amendment would allow doctors with sincere religious objections to refuse to give the pills. Protecting religious freedom is hardly the same thing as wanting hospitals to turn away rape victims.

Coakley's sorts of lies in campaign literature turn off intelligent people who can see through them. If she is willing to lie awfully as a candidate, do we really want someone like this in the Senate. Or, more accurately, another someone like this.

Martha Coakley is a remarkably bad choice for the United States Senate. We hope her lies backfire on her.

Latest Stimulus Scandal

The Obama administration creates 1.62 jobs for only $541,000.

Such a deal.

They give the money to a Penn State professor, Micheal "Hide the Decline" Mann of Climategate fame.

Never trust your money to government.

Goldberg on the Reid Fiasco

Jonah Goldberg in the National Review echoes my sentiment on the Dingy Harry Reid fiasco, but of course, much more articulately. My favorite line, very quotable:

We’ve spent much of the last year being told that “tea party” protesters are unforgivably racist for complaining about high taxes and deficits. But ruminating on Obama’s light skin and versatility with the “Negro dialect” is merely forgivably inappropriate.

The Democrats' Assault On Marriage

Both the Senate and the House versions of Obamacare penalize married couples. The House version is explained by Phyllis Schlafly as follows:

Here is the cost in the House bill for an unmarried couple who each earn $25,000 a year (total: $50,000). When they both buy health insurance (which will be mandatory), the combined premiums they pay will be capped at $3,076 a year.

But if the couple gets married and has the same combined income of $50,000, they will pay annual premiums up to a cap of $5,160 a year. That means they have to fork over a marriage penalty of $2,084.

It is no wonder the Democrats don't want anyone in the public to see the bills before votes are taken. The bills contain various horrors that the Democrats don't want exposed until the legislation is a fait accompli.

Defeat. Them. All.
