Some of you are asking who is Grover Norquist. If you don’t know, good for you. He is your typical power grabbing, Bush/Rove buddy, Washington insider, supposed defender of your tax dollars, and much (much) more. He has for many years been the head of Americans for Tax Reform (maybe you know the name now).
And…. he may be a trojan horse for Islamic supremacism in the US. Before you think I’ve gone completely off the deep end, see how the can of worms opened over the last few days first at Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air where Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch made the following comment to an article praising Norquist’s tax work. Read all of the comments that followed Spencer’s, including Debbie Schlussel’s. Here is Spencer’s:
Grover Norquist has been responsible, more than any other individual, for the infiltration of Islamic supremacists into the highest levels of the U.S. government. See here the seminal expose by Frank Gaffney of the immense damage Norquist has done.
The continuing general ignorance among conservatives of the political aspects of Islam, and of the efforts by Islamic jihadists to impose political Islam, piece by piece, over the West, can largely be attributed to the baneful influence of Norquist. He has energetically aided and abetted the branding by CAIR and others of critics of Islamic supremacism and of those who tell the truth about this Islamic political and societal agenda as “bigots” — such that frank discussion of the full nature and magnitude of this issue has been generally unwelcome even in conservative gatherings and on conservative media outlets.
Then read the Jihad Watch post on the issue here (with comments). Note that Grover Norquist is married to a Muslim woman, Samah Norquist.
It is all coming together. We wrote about Norquist for the first time last summer because he was promoting the Kennedy bill to bring more Iraqi refugees to the US. See our posts here, here and here.
Frankly, I didn’t understand it. For the life of me I didn’t see how a conservative crusader for lower taxes could be actively promoting bringing more refugees to the US—and more Muslims. I am very discouraged, disgusted, you name it.
Please read all the links I’ve provided and digest this information. For me, it is further confirmation that our country is in serious trouble. It confirms what we all know, that Washington and the power brokers (left and right) are not putting America first. So, it is more important than ever that all of you get involved in whatever way your talents lead you to halt the creep of Islamic supremacism into each minute fiber of our society.
This is a big deal—Spencer’s statement above—he was very brave to comment with such straightforward honesty. Please all of you be as brave. The worst they can do right now is call you a bigot and racist. If they get more power, what they will do will be worse, much worse.
