Rep. Keith Ellison: GOP Tax Bill Would Reorder Society & Create “Hereditary Aristocracy” for Rich

On Saturday morning, Senate Republicans passed a nearly 500-page tax bill that will have dramatic impacts not only the U.S. tax code, but also healthcare, domestic spending and even oil and gas drilling. The plan would cut taxes by nearly $1.5 trillion. Major corporations and the richest Americans, including President Trump and his own family, would reap the most dramatic benefits. Overall, the bill is expected to add $1.4 trillion to federal budget deficits over the next decade. The bill passed the Senate 51 to 49, with every Democrat voting against the bill and all Republicans voting for it except for Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee. We speak with Minnesota Democratic Congressmember Keith Ellison. He’s the first Muslim member of Congress. Ellison is also the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Muslims Seeking Greater Influence
CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Effort puts resumes of top candidates in White House hands

In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified—Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted—has been submitted to the White House.



The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), was bumped up two weeks ahead of schedule because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association who sifted through more than 300 names.



"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put [the president] in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."



The effort aims to get the administration focused on Muslim Americans, a group that has at times felt like a pariah. During the campaign, Obama's staff prevented Muslim women wearing head scarves from being photographed behind him, in one of many incidents that left Muslim Americans feeling slighted by the candidate.

Now, Muslim Americans—who according to a recent study overwhelmingly backed Obama in the November election—have been carefully watching the administration's every step.



Most expressed disappointment with Obama's initial silence during Israel's offensive in Gaza. They've been encouraged by the video message the president issued recently to the Iranian people on the eve of the Persian holiday of Nowruz, and they want more diplomacy with Syria and Iran. They've been troubled by FBI admissions of sending what activists call "agents provocateurs" into mosques, and the bureau's break in ties with Muslim American organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations. >>> Noreen S.

Ellison Expresses Concern and Disappointment with Decision to Screen Anti-Islamic Film
COMMONDREAMS.ORG: Takes Issue with sponsorship of film by Senator Kyl

WASHINGTON - Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) took issue with the screening of a film by the controversial Dutch Parliamentarian, Geert Wilders, in the United States Capitol. The film being screened, "Fitna", is said to compare Islamic terrorism to Nazism. The screening is sponsored by Senator John Kyl (R-AZ).

"I am a strong an advocate of First Amendment free speech. However, this is not about free speech, but rather an issue of propriety, timing and venue," Ellison said. "Senator Kyl has every right to host anyone he chooses, however it becomes a question of propriety to use the United States Capitol as a venue for the condemnation of an entire religion," Ellison said.

Mr. Wilders was denied entry by the British government because of his extremist views. A British Home Office spokesman stated: "The government opposes extremism in all its forms." The Dutch government has disavowed Mr. Wilders visit to this country and believes the release of this film "serves no purpose other than to cause offence." According to the London Telegraph, Wilders has stated that the Qu'ran should be banned.

Ellison further stated, "At a time when President Obama has said to the Muslim world, ‘We are ready to initiate a new partnership based on mutual respect and mutual interest,' the showing of a film that denigrates the faith of 1.4 billion of the world's citizens does not foster mutual respect or mutual interest.

At a time when the US should be providing renewed leadership for peace and more understanding between the west and the Muslim world, one has to question the wisdom and judgment of promoting a film that erroneously condemns an entire religion-especially in the US Capitol," Ellison concluded.

Muslim Congressman's Hajj Paid for by Muslim Brotherhood Front Group
JIHAD WATCH: The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

What does that have to do with Congressman Ellison? Everything. The Muslim American Society paid for his Hajj. And what is the Muslim American Society? The Muslim Brotherhood. >>> Robert Spencer | Friday, December 19, 2008

Electing a President: The US at a Fork in the Road
EDITORIAL: Never in recent history has it been so critical for American voters to make a wise choice at the polls. Never in recent history has so much rested on one ballot. Americans are going to be faced with a decision of momentous importance in November 2008: Whom to elect to the White House.

It is always important to vote wisely, of course; but it is to be hoped that American voters will pay particular attention when voting the next time. Why? Because so much depends on electing the very best president the US can kick up.

Elections in the West have become an opportunity for media-hype on a grand scale. The MSM love to choose a candidate and run with their choice, all the while paying far too much attention to looks and glitz, and paying far too little attention to what each candidate has to offer, paying far too little attention to the candidates’ experience.

Barack Obama seems to be the darling of the media. He has been likened even unto Jesus Christ Himself! This, of course, is totally absurd. Barack Obama, whatever else he is, is a political greenhorn, an “empty suit”. Can this man really, truly offer the Americans public any form of salvation? Aren’t people just taken in by his so-called charisma?

This is no time to elect a man on charisma alone, nice though charisma is to have. This is a time for Americans to take stock – BIG time. We are witnessing the declining influence of the USA worldwide. The country has become very unpopular since the election of George W Bush. His obsession with trying to bring democracy to a part of the world which is impossible to democratize, his obsession with characterising Islam as a "religion of love and peace”, when it so clearly isn’t, his obsession with all things Christian, when in actual fact he couldn’t have done more to weaken Christendom, his obsession with pandering to the Muslim electorate - all have weakened America beyond anyone’s wildest dreams only ten or so years ago.

The American electorate is given to obsessing about abortion issues, gay rights issues, and all manner of issues which are only marginally important to the continued supremacy of a truly wonderful nation.

9/11 has weakened America. There is no doubt about this fact. Osama bin Laden could not have wished for a better outcome! But there was no need for this to have happened. The war on Islamic terrorism has been handled so badly that one couldn’t have written a believable book of fiction depicting this outcome. Look at what has happened to the States since 9/11! Its standing in the world has gone down and down; the dollar, especially in recent times, has declined in value to a staggering extent; thousands have been killed in a war that should never have been started (democracy and Islam are totally immiscible); thousands of American jobs are going overseas to countries where labour costs are much lower than at home; illegal immigration has soared to breaking point; and the US National Debt is totally out of control. Yet the US continues to give away billions of dollars in aid to countries which it can ill afford to give aid to in the hope of buying influence. Influence, however, is not being bought; rather, the money is being squandered. It’s like throwing it into the four winds!

When the Americans go to the polls in November 2008, they need to think about what is important for their country: they shouldn’t be taken in by personalities.

One of the first things that needs to happen is that the national debt, now standing at the staggering figure of trillions of dollars, be reduced severely. The US needs a good dose of Thatcherism at this time. Remember what she said about government spending. She said that governments don’t have any money to spend; governments, she said, spend only other people’s money, collected in the form of taxes!

So what is going to be important for the American voters is to choose a president who is going to restore US supremacy, restore confidence in the US, reduce its colossal national debt (which has grown exponentially under George W Bush), and the country needs to start working with the rest of the West, not against it. The rest of the West needs a strong America as much as a strong America needs the rest of the West.

Only today, it has been reported that Kuwait has unpegged its dinar to the dollar. This is not a good thing for the US. On the contrary, since the Kuwaiti dinar has been pegged to the US dollar for so long, it shows a complete lack of confidence in the dollar! Don’t be surprised if Saudi Arabia follows suit!

Are we witnessing a United States of America in terminal decline? Don’t forget these facts: Europe is gaining in strength. France may well be about to surprise us all with its ability to renew itself. Yes, it has problems, but at least it has a president, in Sarkozy, with a will and determination to overcome those difficulties and problems (if he can overcome his own). Then we have China and India on the up and up. All these countries pose a long-term threat to the continued hegemony of the USA.

And all this says nothing about the growth of Islam in the US, and the danger that religious group poses for the continued existence of the States as we know it – as a land which is whole and peaceful and free. When the USA is no longer counted as ‘the land of the free’, then all of the free world will be in trouble. The forces at work within the USA to turn the country Islamic should not be underestimated. We have already seen the first Muslim elected to Congress in Keith Ellison. This is no harbinger of good fortune for the United States; on the contrary, it shows that there are great problems ahead for the country.

It is my belief, as much as it hurts me to say it, that America has come to a fork in the road. The one turning will return the US to its former glory, whilst the other will take it down the road to oblivion: it will make the country an irrelevance to the world. It is up to you, the American voter, to choose a president who will lead you and your great country to a place of unparalleled supremacy.

Remember this: The free world needs YOU! And it needs a STRONG AMERICA, too!

Keith Ellison and the Hitler Jibe
FRONTPAGE: Upon assuming office, United States Congressmen swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) is on the job, zeroing in on a large-scale plan to subvert the Constitution, led by none other than George W. Bush. Speaking last week in Minnesota to a meeting of a group called Atheists for Human Rights, Ellison said of the September 11 attacks: “It’s almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted.”


The Nazi regime staged the fire at the Reichstag, the German Parliament building, on February 27, 1933, and blamed it on German and foreign Communist agents. The German Communist party was swiftly outlawed, thousands of Communists were arrested, and Hitler and his henchmen were able to bully the other parties in the German Parliament to grant him dictatorial powers, allowing him to legislate without approval from the assembly. But in making this comparison Ellison emphasized that he wasn’t saying that the Bush Administration staged the 9/11 attacks, because, “you know, that’s how they put you in the nut-ball box -- dismiss you.” Keith Ellison and the "Reichstag" By Robert Spencer

Keith Ellison Compares George W Bush with Hitler

THE TELEGRAPH: America's first Muslim congressman has provoked outrage by apparently comparing President George W Bush to Adolf Hitler and hinting that he might have been responsible for the September 11 attacks.

Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers.

"It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said. "After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."

To applause from his audience of 300 members of Atheists for Human Rights, Mr Ellison said he would not accuse the Bush administration of planning 9/11 because "you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss you".
