Your Democrats in Congress and Senate get Cadillac Plans too, because they are under the Federal Employee Health Benefit plans and they aren't giving them up either and they aren't going to be taxed on them in 2018 either.

Again, funny to see a Democrat expressing satisfaction at labor unions being hurt.

If the pilots had been armed, would the 911 hijackings have been successful? How come we can trust pilots with airplanes but not firearms?

Suspected Democratic truck thief shot, killed in Maple Valley Updated Tuesday, Sep 24 at 9:28 AM MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. – A suspected truck thief was shot and killed in Maple Valley Tuesday morning after deputies say he was shot by the truck’s owner, a United States Marine. It happened just after midnight in the 23600 block of 219th Place SE. King County sheriff’s deputies say a Democratic man and woman arrived at the scene in another vehicle that was stolen from Kent. The pair was allegedly trying to steal or prowl a pickup truck when the owner came out from a family gathering and confronted them. Kristen Hague says the gathering was at her house and the truck belongs to her nephew, Keenan, a 24-year-old Marine. Hague says they spotted the would-be thieves and he confronted them. “All I heard were gunshots, then I came outside and the man and woman were trying to drive away but the car wouldn’t go,” Hague gets emotional talking about what happened next. She says the male passenger stood up with a weapon. “Keenan yelled ‘gun’, and he pushed me to the ground to protect me," said Hague. She says that’s when shots were exchanged. “He did it to protect me. He loves his aunt.” Hague performed CPR on the suspected thief and put pressure on his bullet wounds, but he did not survive. The owner is being questioned by King County investigators. The surviving Democratic suspect was taken into custody. She has a felony warrant for burglary. king5.com

DHS ADVISER TO PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS: "YOU INCITED MUSLIMS" For years, I have warned of Obama's pro-jihadist appointees in his administration. The American people would be outraged if they knew. But the media is part and parcel of the islamization of the American foreign policy. Blaming the Coptic Christians in Egypt for Muslim oppression, persecution and slaughter is akin to blaming the Jews for the Nazis. The idea that Christians incited Muslims to slaughter in Egypt is manifest in the sharia. Chrstians have incited Muslims, by not converting to Islam. DHS adviser to persecuted Christians: "You incited Muslims" WND, September 28, 2013 Islamic leader appointed to post by Janet NapolitanoJERUSALEM – An adviser to the Department of Homeland Security has used his Twitter profile to defend the Muslim Brotherhood while accusing Egypt’s persecuted Christian minority of inciting against Islam. Earlier this month, Mohamed Elibiary, who was appointed to the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council by then-secretary Janet Napolitano in 2010, tweeted that he was reappointed and even promoted. The Investigative Project on Terrorism reported Elibiary’s tweets about Egypt’s Coptic Christians. “For decade since 9/11 attack extremist American #Coptic activists have nurtured anti #Islam & anti #Muslim sentiments among AM RT wing,” Elibiary wrote. Earlier, Elibiary attacked the U.S. Coptic community for its protests against a wave of Muslim attacks on their relatives in Egypt. “Good read by @mwhanna1 on need to reform #Coptic activism in #US including stop promoting #Islamophobia,” he wrote Sept. 14. Michael Meunier, president of Egypt’s Al-Haya Party and a Coptic activist, reacted to Elibiary’s tweets. “I think the Obama administration should be ashamed to have had someone like this in their administration,” he said. “This underscores the thinking inside the Obama administration.” WND further found Elibiary tweeted in defense of the Muslim Brotherhood and its U.S. offshoots in an exchange with the Investigative Project. “I treat MB objectively & w/ nuance. You define MB term too broadly, advocate 4 shutting down US Muslim orgs &treat all as ‘FACSISTS,’” he wrote. Supporter of radicals Elibiary is a strong supporter of the radical Islamist theologian who calls for “war” with the non-Muslim world and whose teachings inspired and continue to govern al-Qaida and Islamic terrorist organizations worldwide. As WND reported, he spoke at a conference that honored the anti-U.S. founder of the Iranian Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini. Elibiary has strongly criticized the government’s persecution of fundraisers for Hamas and is a defender of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He fervently endorses the teachings of Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb, who is widely considered the father of the modern Islamic terrorist movement. Osama bin Laden and jihadist groups worldwide rely on Qutb for their fatwas and ideology. Elibiary, meanwhile, has criticized the U.S. government’s prosecution and conviction of the Holy Land Foundation and five former officials for providing more than $12 million to Hamas, depicting the case as a defeat for the United States. He wrote an op-ed in the Dallas Morning News suggesting the convictions were part of a U.S. government policy of “denying our civil liberties and privacy at home” while pursuing anti-terror policies that have “left thousands of Americans dead, tens of thousands maimed, trillions of taxpayer dollars squandered and our homeland more vulnerable than ever.” The Homeland Security Advisory Council, part of the executive office of the president, was formed by an executive order by President Bush in 2002. Qutb, executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the Egyptian government, called for the creation of a worldwide Islamic state. Qutb declared: “There is only one place on earth which can be called the home of Islam (Dar-ul-Islam), and it is that place where the Islamic state is established and the Shariah is the authority and God’s limits are observed.” Qutb labeled the non-Muslim world the Dar-ul-Harb – the house of war. “A Muslim can have only two possible relations with Dar-ul-Harb: peace with a contractual agreement, or war,” wrote Qutb. “A country with which there is a treaty will not be considered the home of Islam,” he said. Elibiary has regularly upheld the teachings of Qutb. He writes that he sees in Qutb “the potential for a strong spiritual rebirth that’s truly ecumenical allowing all faiths practiced in America to enrich us and motivate us to serve God better by serving our fellow man more.” After Dallas Morning News editorial page editor Rod Dreher criticized Qutb’s writings, Elibiary engaged in a lengthy, published email debate in which he repeatedly defended Qutb. In one exchange, Elibiary wrote, “I’d recommend everyone read Qutb, but read him with an eye to improving America not just to be jealous with malice in our hearts.” Speaker at Khomeini conference In 2004, as WND reported, Elibiary was one of seven advertised speakers at an Irving, Texas, conference titled “A Tribute to the Great Islamic Visionary,” celebrating the 16th anniversary of Khomeini’s death. Under a heading “Selected sayings of Holy Prophet,” one advertisement read: “Allah has made Islam to prevail over all other religions.” In an interview with WND at the time, Elibiary claimed he was not aware of the event’s general theme and “tribute” to Khomeini. WND directed him to an ad for the seminar posted on the Metroplex Organization of Muslims in North Texas website, which included a photo of Khomeini alongside a message speaking of “Islamic revolution.”
