On July 23, 2008 I wrote on American Pundit about the United States, United Kingdom, and France launching a sea exercise in the Atlantic in preparation for a naval blockade on Iran should Ahmadinejad ignore the ultimatum to suspend uranium enrichment.

As expected, Iran has not only ignored the ultimatum, but has boldly proclaimed that the country will not give up "a single iota of its nuclear rights."

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks regarding this came during discussions with Syrian President Bashar Assad who is in Tehran for a two-day visit.

Assad, hoping to establish for Syria a more prominent Mideast role, promised Sarkozy during a visit to France in July that he would visit with Ahmadinjad and try to persuade Iran to prove it isn't developing nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad's claims that he only desires nuclear technology for the production of energy has hardly been believed by the West, and the United States and her allies suspect that Iran is seeking a pathway to an atomic bomb.

The United Nations Security Council has imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran over its enrichment and reprocessing of uranium.

It is no surprise to me that Iran has no intention of abiding by any demands placed upon them by the West. Ahmadinejad's defiance in this matter is yet another piece of proof that diplomacy will not only fail with this dictator, but that any talks with Iran will only result in Ahmadinejad's further demands for concessions. Iran's president brings nothing to the table except his own demands. Trusting this murderous dictator is foolish, and dangerous.

America is a nation of hard working people that have used their labors to make this country the promised land for many. Untold thousands of American workers have sweated and toiled through injury and grit to make this nation the greatest nation on the face of this earth. Labor Day was created to recognize that toil. Labor Day was created to show appreciation to the American worker.

The Tyson Foods' poultry processing plant in Shelbyville, Tennessee has decided to eliminate Labor Day as a holiday. Workers at that plant will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day, but will instead take the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan, in the fall. The reason stated for this decision to eliminate Labor Day for the Muslim holiday was to accommodate the Muslim workers at the plant.

The company is focusing on the fact that the number of holidays still numbers at eight, meaning the change will not affect production, hardly considering the fact that they've eliminated an American holiday for a concession to an ideology that has declared war on The West. Rather than assimilate into the American Culture, the Muslims are expecting to be a culture apart from ours.

The Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr, specifically means "Festival of the Breaking of the Fast" in Arabic, and marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

Eid al-Fitr is now one of eight paid holidays for all Team Members at Tyson, while Labor Day is now no longer a paid holiday. The negotiating committee claims they felt they should do this because the holiday is as important to Muslims as Christmas is to Christians (forgetting the fact that Christmas also is celebrated by non-Christians too - though more as a holiday of giving, rather than the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth). Two prayer rooms have been created to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant. Also, in addition to regular, non-paid breaks, all Tyson employees are allotted a seven-minute paid break so that they may go to these prayer rooms and pray during the allotted additional break. Could you imagine if the Christians requested a prayer room for their own use, or wanted an additional break for Bible Study? What would have happened in that case? They would have been laughed right out of the offices of the plant for such a request. Of course, the argument here is that the extra break can be used by any employee - but the intention behind it is a concession to Islam.

When you break it down, the Muslims, fueled by the hate of Islamic teachings, want to destroy the American way of life, and we are bending over backwards to let them!

A five week August recess is upon the United States Congress. House speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democrats turned out the lights and killed the microphones, adjourning while Republicans were still on the floor talking about gas prices, and how to bring those prices down.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and his fellow GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House of Representatives, claiming that voting on allowing off-shore oil drilling is more important than a vacation, and is hurting the American economy by being left unsettled. The Republicans called their actions the new Boston Tea Party, and refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion at 11:23 AM, and remained until right at the stroke of 5:00 PM, when Georgia Representative Tom Price announced that House Republicans were stopping their impromptu protest on the floor of the chamber. They ended the five-plus-hour uprising with a singing of "God Bless America."

During the five hour GOP Uprising, the Republicans continued their argument that Congress needs to take up new energy legislation.

The protesting conservatives gave impromptu speeches, and nearly filled the seats of the chamber with staffers, Boy Scouts and tourists in an attempt to pressure Democrats to hold a vote on offshore oil drilling and other GOP energy ideas.

Republicans are now saying that in the end about 45 congressmen took part.

When Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats departed they made sure that all sound systems had been turned off, but it is being reported that the noise was easy to hear from outside the chamber.

The crowd on the floor chanted, "Vote! Vote! Vote!" after Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), called for more action on energy and urged each person to tell 10 others to join the cause.

Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX) said he was on a plane ready to take off for Texas when he heard his GOP colleagues were still on the floor. He immediately headed back to the Capitol to participate in this historic event.

On the floor Representative Thaddeus McCotter proclaimed, "This is the people's House, this is not Pelosi’s politiburo."

The assembled tourists, aides and members in the chamber gave the GOP a standing ovation, shouting "USA! USA! USA!" as they departed when it ended.

Democratic aides were furious at the GOP stunt, kicking reporters out of the Speaker's Lobby, the space next to the House floor where they normally interview lawmakers.

"You're not covering this, are you?" complained one senior Democratic aide. Another called the Republicans "morons" for staying on the floor.

At 11:00 PM here in California while surfing all of the news networks and broadcast networks, the only ones talking about this event at all was Fox News.

One of the tourists that attended, a self-described Republican that supported the effort, said, "The fact that Democrats left before getting their work done is highly disappointing."

Republicans have been demanding a vote on this issue of drilling domestically for a few days now, and the Democrats have avoided it all the way up to adjourning and running off on vacation.

Will the Republicans carry this into Monday? I suggest that we demand that it does! After all, they are there to serve the public. The U.S. Constitution begins "We The People," and I suggest we remind our Congress exactly what that means. Contact your Congressional Representatives and demand that they depart from their home in their respective districts and return to Washington D.C. to complete their duties! They have dropped the ball, so we cannot drop the ball on this too. This is too important. The GOP has put the Democrats on notice, and the American people need to make sure we demand that all of them (including the Dems) return to the House and vote on the issues regarding energy. Watching as this story has developed, it has become obvious to me which party cares and gives a care about the American people, and it is certainly not the Democrats.

These Republicans that have staged this modern day Boston Tea Party, however, must follow through. They must finish what they started. I expect to see them still in Washington on Monday - otherwise, it will be painfully obvious that they have not "grown a pair" after all.
