My Year Inside Radical Islam

"At twenty-three, I was a devout believer in radical Islam. I worked for a Saudi-funded charity in Ashland, Oregon, that was accuseed of funding al-Qaeda. Funny thing, I was born Jewish. At the time, it all seemed pretty normal."
Friend and supporter of ConservaChick, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, has written a memoir that is a must read for anyone who would like a glimpse inside the world and workings of radical Islam. Daveed is a counter-terrorism expert; his articles about terrorism and religious extremism have appeared in numerous publications including The Counter-terrorism Blog, The Weekly Standard, Wall Street Journal Europe, Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News.

The book, "My Year Inside Radical Islam: A Memoir" was released today and yours truly has her copy in hand now. Look for a book review and an interview with Daveed coming in the next few weeks. In the meantime, enjoy his interview on Hannity and Colmes last night. Compelling.

It's amazing to think we were all so naive at one time.

No kidding, huh? I'm not far into the book yet but it's a good read so far. He seems to be someone who was never grounded in one organized religion and sought after the truth in that form.

I think those of us who seek a structured religious truth by which to lead our lives sometimes find pretty outrageous lies that look like the truth... God help those who don't realize it until it's too late!

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

Would YOU buy a used car from these men?...

Questions about federal tax-exempt status and the inappropriate use of personal connections have been swirling around two Kentucky men of late: State Treasurer Jonathan Miller and blogger Mark Nickolas of The Bluegrass Report . While some may choose to misconstrue the intent of the people who have raised these questions, the fact remains that the questions raised ARE indeed quite serious. The Bluegrass Report blog operates from funds donated to an organization called The Foundation for Kentucky's Future, Inc. -- I would provide a link to the foundation's website if it had an online presence; currently, there is nothing online except a PayPal link for donations. The Foundation for Kentucky’s Future, Inc. claims a tax-exempt 501(c)4 status; however, that claim has been found (via conversations with IRS representatives) to be false. The foundation is not a federally-recognized tax-exempt entity nor are donations to it considered valid “business expenses” by the IRS. Federal an
