People are still free to say racist stuff, just as people are free to yell "fire" in a crowded theater, or falsely call the swat team on their neighbor. It's just that now there may be consequences if what they say ends up causing problems.

It's just personal responsibility, We all have a personal responsibility not to say racist stuff. I thought you guys were the party of personal responsibility?

It's not all racist stuff. Speak out about Sharia law is not racist at all but this will make it so.

As you have seen I am not racist, never made a racist comment.

Well you know PowerStroker, she did marry her brother... I think it's safe to say she will say or do anything when it suits her needs, including lie to small minded people like you.

Tell me, doesn't Sharia law require Muslim women to wear head coverings at all times like turbans and such? Most people don't wear their Sunday church clothes everywhere... One wears this kind of clothing when practicing religion in a house of worship!

None of this connecting any dots for you PowerStroker?

New York man arrested for death threats against Rep. Ilhan Omar, federal officials say

Jeff Murray,USA TODAY

https://www.yahoo.com/news/york-man-arrested-death-threats-200926498.html

ELMIRA, N.Y. A New York man is in custody after federal authorities allege he madedeath threats against Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

Patrick W. Carlineo, 55, of Addison, was arrested Friday morning and charged by criminal complaint with threatening to assault and murder a United States official.

Carlineo threatened to kill Omar, a Democrat, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett A. Harvey, who is prosecuting the case.

On March 21, a staff member in Omar's office received a phone call around 12:20 p.m., the criminal complaint stated.

During the call, an individual, eventually identified as Carlineo, allegedly stated to the staff member, "Do you work for the Muslim Brotherhood? Why are you working for her, she's an (expletive) terrorist. Ill put a bullet in her (expletive) skull."

After receiving the call, Omar's office referred the threat to the United States Capitol Police, which began an investigation in coordination with the FBI.

Omar is a freshman representative who was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm election and one of three members of Congress who are Muslim.

Omar faced backlash in recent months for tweets and comments she made that critics say played into enduring anti-Semitic stereotypes.

Carlineo provided a name and phone number to Omar's staff member, and authorities were able to trace the phone number to an Addison address.

He was questioned March 29 by FBI agents at his residence in Steuben County, according to the criminal complaint.

Carlineo told the agents he is a patriot, that he loves President Donald Trump and hates radical Muslims in government, the complaint stated.

He also told agents he didn't remember exactly what he said to Omar's staffer but admitted it might have been close to what her office reported to authorities.

When asked if there were any weapons in the residence, Carlineo confirmed there was a shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle, according to the complaint.

Carlineo made an initial appearance Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson and is being held pending a detention hearing at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

A New York man has reportedly been arrested by federal agents after threatening to kill freshman Representative Ilhan Omar.

As reported by thedailybeast.com

A 55-year-old New York man was arrested Friday for allegedly threatening to kill freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the Elmira Star-Gazette reports. The man, identified as Patrick W. Carlineo, is said to have called the Democratic lawmakers office on March 21 and made threatening comments, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Western District of New York. Do you work for the Muslim Brotherhood? Why are you working for her, shes a fucking terrorist. Ill put a bullet in her fucking skull, Carlineo allegedly said. Omars office reportedly immediately reported the call to the United States Capitol Police, Threat Assessment Section, which in turn got the FBI involved. While questioned by FBI agents over the call late last month, Carlineo reportedly described himself as a patriot who loves President Trump and hates radical Muslims in public office. Investigators also reportedly found a shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle at his home. The arrest comes just a few weeks after Fox News host Jeanine Pirro suggested on-air that Omars wearing of a hijab might be indicative of loyalty to Sharia law, a claim which quickly sparked backlash and saw her show temporarily bumped from the air.

Controversial freshman rep. Ilhan Omar has been making waves for attacking the country she lives in, the United States.Meanwhile, authorities have completed their investigation into allegations she used campaign funds for personal purposes and Omars political career could be in peril.

Omar has refused to answer questions about the campaign finance scandal.

From dailywire.com

Sinclair reporter James Rosen confirmed Monday morning that authorities recently completed investigations into two complaints concerning campaign finance violations against Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The two complaints against the controversial figure were filed last year by Minnesota state lawmaker Rep. Steve Drazkowski, a Republican. Drazkowski claims Omar spent thousands of dollars on a divorce attorney and personal travel expenses.

In referring Omar to the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board, Drazkowski alleged that Omar improperly spent close to $6,000 in campaign funds for personal use, including payments to her divorce attorney and for travel to Boston and Estonia, says the report.

Rosen notes that Drazkowskis filings follow an earlier episode in which Omar repaid $2,500 for honoraria she received for speeches at colleges that receive state funding, a violation of ethics rules for Minnesota lawmakers.

I had observed a long pattern, said Drazkowski. Representative Omar hasnt followed the law. Shes repeatedly trampled on the laws of the state in a variety of areas, and gotten by with it.

The Republican lawmaker maintained that Omar has been allowed to skate in the face of her controversial actions by strategically using her identity as a shield.

Theres a political fear that people have of being called a name, being called a bigot, being called racist, being called Islamophobic, he said.

When Omar was questioned about the probe into the alleged finance violations on Thursday, she refused to respond. Earlier this year, the Democrat denied the alleged indiscretions, though the complaints were still unconfirmed to the public at the time.

The Omar Committees 2017 year-end report shows several noncampaign disbursements for out-of-state travel for Rep. Omar to attend various events, reads a notification allegedly from the finance board posted on Drazkowskis website.

The information on the committees 2017 year-end report does not indicate how attendance at these events would have helped Rep. Omar in the performance of her legislative duties, another notification says.

Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are under fire after refusing to condemn Bruneis sharia law stoning of gays.

As reported by theconservativeopinion.com

Big League Politics reached out to both freshman lawmakers, who did not respond or condemn the actions.

The Guardian reported that Brunei is to begin imposing death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex and adultery from next week, as part of the countrys highly criticized implementation of sharia law.

From 3 April, people in the tiny south-east Asian kingdom will be subjected to a draconian new penal code, which also includes the amputation of a hand and a foot for the crime of theft. To be convicted, the crimes must be witnessed by a group of Muslims.

Brunei, which has adopted a more conservative form of Islam in recent years, first announced in 2013 its intention to introduce sharia law, the Islamic legal system that imposes strict corporal punishments.

It was a directive of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, who is one of the worlds richest leaders with a personal wealth of about $20bn (£15bn) and has held the throne since 1967. He described the implementation of the new penal code as a great achievement.

From Big League Politics

Two members of the House of Representatives, both Muslims, have refused to condemn the country of Brunei for implementation of the Sharia Penal code, which carries inhumane punishment for homosexuals.

Big League Politics reached out to the office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), asking if the Congresswoman would condemn the Asian nation, which plans to implement capital punishment for citizens who are found guilty of homosexuality. Her office did not respond to a comment request.

Should Trump go on the offensive after Mueller vindication?

Feds: Man who discussed US attack arrested at gun range, Associated Press, April 4, 2019:

BOZEMAN, Mont. An Albanian national who talked about joining ISIS and attacking random people to avenge a shooting at a New Zealand mosque was arrested at a gun range in Montana, authorities said Thursday.
Fabjan Alameti, 21, appeared before a U.S magistrate judge Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance and making false statements involving international and domestic terrorism.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah Lynch ordered him detained for further proceedings.
Alametis federal public defender, John Rhodes, did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday.
The FBI had been tracking Alameti since he made pro-ISIS comments on Facebook in 2018, FBI Special Agent Matthew Duermeier said in a sworn statement filed with the court.
Starting in January of this year, Alameti spoke with a federal informant about fighting with the terrorist organization in Iraq and plotting an attack in the U.S. against a military facility, recruitment center, government building, gay club or Jewish temple, Duermeier said.
But Alameti also later said he would not carry out an attack on U.S. soil because the country had granted him citizenship, the FBI agents statement said.
Alameti told the informant he moved from his home in the Bronx to Bozeman last month because he hated his life in New York City, he was having family issues and he had a job interview in Montana, where it was easier to buy a gun, Duermeier said.
Alameti was traveling to Montana by bus on March 15 when a gunman opened fire in a Christchurch mosque and killed 50 people.
He asked the federal informant to send him a link to the video of the shooting because it would fuel him. I will attack random people to avenge the blood, Alameti told the informant, according to Duermeier.

No that would not be ok, because it is against the laws of the United States. Wearing a hijab is not against the law, nor does it necessarily indicate that someone follows Sharia.

Having read about how women are treated under Sharia, it would be highly unlikely that if Congresswoman Omar lived under such a system, that she would have ever been allowed to run for Congress in the first place. There is a reason Jeanine Pirro was spanked, because too many Americans are all too happy to believe a lie if it suits their prejudices.

Wearing a hijab is not against the law, just like it is not against the law for a Nun to wear similar gear! But outside of being a guest, how many Nun's have you seen run for office and insist on wearing their gear to work every day? I can't say I ever recall anything like that. Nun's usually stick to places of worship or institutions run by churches or houses of worship.

Is the US house of Representatives now a house of worship PowerStroker? Should this one persons need to pay homage to her religion on the house floor outweigh the rights of everyone else to be free from such expression? Why dose she wear a hijab, yet skin tight pants?

Jeanine Pirro was just a stunt to get more viewers... She probably had some vacation time coming up and it was planned from the start. Did anyone report on what Pirro did while on her mandatory vacation? You don't find it odd that it corresponded with the traditional "Spring Break" season? Your opinions about what you "think" Omar would do fly in the face of the reality that until just recently Muslim women were not allowed to drive in many Muslim countries, and are still prevented from doing so today! It should also be noted that if a Muslim woman over in the Middle East wore a hijab with skin tight yoga pants it would not fly. People are free to express themselves, and when I walk into a courtroom or other such forum I am asked to remove my hat, regardless what that hat might represent to me.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

The House of Reps is not a house of worship, but they now allow people to wear religious headwear thanks to a vote of 234 to 197 on a rules change package.

Look at the bright side, all the Republicans can now wear MAGA hats now in the House if they wanted, just so long as they continue to worship president Trump as a diety!

I must have missed the memo on that vote PowerStroker... I would imagine it is because the MSM does not want people to know as the majority of voting AMERICANS who take off their hats out of respect for the LIVING PEOPLE in the room would find it in bad taste.

Republicans are not going to declare Trump their deity in order to wear a MAGA hat on the house floor, but I can tell you that "Pastafarians" will wear colanders on their heads just to mock the religious ground rules.

Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarianism) is a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other".

There have been Christians who have wanted the same...We have not allowed them either...

Many people have some strange ideas about what it means to be a conservative...that problem comes from when the republican party took in the christian right....

There is no real truth to SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE...conservative is a political ideology for a minimal government...

bunch of backwards southerners have created the so called social conservative movement and it is not about being conservative it is a guise to force their social agenda...and there is nothing conservative about that...

That is not Powerstroker's fault...it is however the fault of technology and sites like wikipedia...

the mixing of terms is myth based conflating...

liberal progressive...social conservative....

a liberal believes in FREEDOM which is the complete opposite of progressive...

just like the terms social and conservative do not fit together, when speaking about politics...

The left is making a mistake that the right made in the early eighties...

They are taking in groups that are not in alignment of their true platform and it ends up compromising the platform...

republicans made this mistake embracing the religious right...and their platform moved far away from anything remotely conservative...

a conservative wants very little government, not a government that enforces their moral compass on the rest of the country...

I like to think of myself as one actually.

I doubt very much that either of our respective parties are going to allow us to redefine in our images - what it is to be a modern liberal or conservative. Eventually you are going to have to accept that if you are going to continue voting for, and carrying water for the Republican party, you are only enabling them to continue their trend away from traditional conservatism and toward an embrace of social conservatism/authoritarian douchebaggery.

I continue to carry water for the Democratic party, and I'm perfectly fine with what they are becoming. As we have discussed already, the original Democratic party wasn't a good fit for me, but now their platform gels with me just fine.
