» Concealed Carry Ban At NC State Fair Left Two Men Defenseless Against Armed Robbers
Because of the arbitrary actions of North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler these men had no other options than to hand over their wallets to the armed robbers.
Troxler denied citizens the right to carry concealed weapons at the North Carolina State Fair despite lacking the legal authority to do so.
Activist Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens was unable to find a statute to support Troxler's ban, but decided to uphold it based on his personal whims.
» Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson Gets "Black Attacked"
What's truly pathetic is the same blacks, who feel threatened by successful blacks like Wilson, would almost certainly think Wilson was "black enough" if he knocked his girlfriend or wife unconscious like Baltimore Ravens Player Ray Rice. Or if Wilson acted like Vikings Adrian Peterson who "spanked" his 4-year old son with a switch, "cutting his arms, legs and genitals." Better yet, if Wilson behaved like Carolina Panthers Greg Hardy: throwing his girlfriend on a bed full of 10 semi-automatic weapons and beat her up, for which he earned street cred by getting convicted, I'm sure Wilson's blackness wouldn't be questioned.
» Demagogue Al Sharpton: The Democratic Party's New 'Civil Rights' Leader
Davis served her purpose and will be hailed briefly as a martyred heroine who fought valiantly right before being aborted by the party altogether.
"Ready for Grandma" and the national party will toss her aside while compiling data on what issues polled well and applying that data to a national war for women. We will see the exact same celebrity endorsements and, thanks to the ever-radicalization of liberalism, probably more jars of poop as well.
Wendy herself will be forgotten, allowed to retire quietly into obscurity where no one will ever hear from or see her again — with her own show on MSNBC.
The Centers for Disease Control is still all over the map on this, once again revising its "guidelines" to create a confusing potpourri of "risk categories" and recommending varying levels of isolation for each. "High risk" individuals who had unprotected contact with Ebola victims are supposed to voluntarily isolate themselves. That's just not good enough, and it's baffling that anyone who works for this Administration needs to be told why.
Both the CDC brass and President Obama repeated that their top priority is avoiding placing an "undue burden" on doctors and nurses that would supposedly "discourage" them from traveling to Africa to battle Ebola. They're disturbingly fanatical about this, which baffles average Americans who wonder why anything should be considered a higher priority by their government than protecting the American people from infection.
Why is a 21-day isolation procedure such an unbearable burden for people willing to endure the West African hot zone? Why on Earth does the Administration insist on treating isolation protocols as some kind of insult?
our government had no problem ordering such isolation for U.S. troops returning from the hot zone. Aren't they being insulted and treated as less than heroic by such policies, or are we only supposed to care about the injured pride of civilian medical staff?
» Congressman Confirms Obama Plan to Import Foreigners With Ebola for Treatment
The cost of flying Africans to the USA for treatment could be astronomical. But according to Obama's ideology, the wealth Americans have created was somehow stolen from everyone who did not create it. Therefore, we owe it to Africa whether we can afford it or not.
Whether there will be anyone left alive to pay the bills after Obama's policies result in Ebola spreading throughout the USA remains to be seen.
Reading off the familiar script, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton insisted that "nothing we know at this time would indicate" a connection to terrorism. This, despite Thompson's Facebook page on which he portrayed himself as a mujahed warrior superimposed on Koranic verses and called for "guerilla warfare" against the United States. Evidently, it is just one of those "violent extremism" coincidences that this "lone wolf" strike — translation: non-terrorist strike — occurred soon after the Islamic State urged Muslims in the West to "attack the soldiers of the tyrants and their police force."
… We are to believe it is beside the point that the assailants happen to be Muslims. Sure, some may have been "inspired" by the Islamic State or al-Qaeda, but journalists, taking their cues from government officials, stress that the murderers lack "operational" ties to any recognized terrorist organization. So, presto, each is sloughed off as a "lone wolf."
That once useful term of art is now used to convey two carefully crafted, politically correct narratives. For government officials and investigators, the "lone wolf" label has come to mean the atrocity in question cannot be categorized as "terrorism," no matter how many "Allahu Akbars!" are shouted as bullets fly, bombs blast, or heads roll. For the commentariat, "lone wolf" signifies that the Muslim in question — whether a lifer or a "recent convert" — has "self-radicalized," spontaneously becoming a wanton, irrational killer.
No one self-radicalizes. Terrorists are radicalized by a scripturally based doctrine. They terrorize because the doctrine instructs them to do so. In sura 8:12, for example, Allah instructs Muslims that he will use them to "instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers" by having them "smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them."
This article excerpt is interrupted for the following disagreement:
I don't disagree with the statement that "No one self-radicalizes". Well, yea, I sorta do. I'll explain or at least walk in rhetorical circles around a concept that I can't quite put into words.
You see, I don't accept that a normal human, with a healthy, normal brain; being mentally stable and emotionally balanced can be transformed into a marauding murderous maniac by simply reading the writings of one.
I've read the ranting verbal spillage of the founder of islam, mohameed (piss be on him) and it had no effect. I didn't transform into anything.The words alone do not cause transformation – instead the tenets of islam are catalyst. (a substance that enables a reaction to proceed under different conditions than otherwise possible)
In other words, the 'recent lone-wolf converts' of islam were freaking nuts before they started bopping their heads on the floor five times a day. The effect of the islamic verses was validation of and justification for pre-existing psychopathic hankerings.
But I'm not saying that terrorism, head-chopping, stoning, mass-executions and animal-rape are the exclusive deeds of the insane using a 'religion' as an excuse. That would excuse the 'religion'. Instead, I'm saying that islam is not a religion in the accepted sense of the word … it is more like a fight club. If you're born into it, you're membership is automatic and as a legacy you aren't necessarily required to act insane, be a butcher or tiddle toddlers – but if you do, it's ok because thems the perps of the club.
So, to get back to "No one self-radicalizes", perhaps it's better stated to say no one chooses to be insane. You'd have to be insane to want to be insane. But! If you're already insane, we got just the club for you.
A Muslim does not wake up one day and spontaneously decide to commit mass-murder. No one is radicalized out of thin air. Muslims are radicalized by the doctrine. To be sure, there is often an intermediary between the doctrine and the person who becomes a terrorist — it might be a terrorist organization in the field or an extremist imam in the mosque. But it could also very well be the jihadist literature a person reads while alone in his room. Such literature is liberally available on the Internet and in countless American mosques and Islamic community centers. It is a staple of Muslim Brotherhood indoctrination efforts, and the Saudi regime — to take the most notorious example — has spent billions of dollars propagating it worldwide.
Again, I say, that muslims radicalized by doctrine were teetering on the thin edge of less-than-total-sanity. All that was required was a couple of sentences from moham to justify and validate the little screeching voices in the basement of their mind.
Which makes me wonder about those 'moderate' members of the club. They pay their dues but never pick up their guilt-free murder coupons. Maybe they just like wearing the weird costumes.
» President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts
» Timeline of Key Events Surrounding IRS Targeting of Conservative Groups
It turns out Barack Obama not being on the ballot is a double edged sword. His policies are and voters can go vote against his policies without having to vote against him. But, at the same time, a lot of voters who hear "Barack Obama is not on the ballot" will not go vote because they are his, not the Democrats, and they know he does not really need them.
The ironic humor in this election is that every time Democrats say "President Obama is not on the ballot," more voters conclude they then do not have to go stand by their man. And this becomes a latent problem for 2016. These voters belong to Barack Obama, not the Democrats. They are going to have to fight for them then.
» Obama Not Campaigning in a Single Place With a Competitive Senate Race
This far into Hope & Change, an endorsement by Obama is the kiss of death. With any luck people will realize that Obama did not inflict all this damage on our country by himself. He couldn't have done it without the help of his party and the liberal establishment media, neither of which deserve public trust after the debacle of his presidency.
… we turn them over to ICE and 36% keep coming back. Last month a guy came back 25 times. So what is this? Either the border is really un-secure or they're letting these guys out in the streets …
Why do so many self-interested plutocrats indulge in populist rhetoric that is completely at odds with the way they live?
Could not Barack Obama blast billionaires somewhere else than at the homes of billionaires? If Hillary Clinton is going to deplore high college costs, could she not settle for $25,000 an hour rather than ten times that? Could not Mark Zuckerberg live among those he champions rather than driving up housing prices by buying a multimillion-dollar housing moat around his tony enclave? If Joe Biden swears that hedge funds and Wall Street are toxic, mightn't he at least first advise his brother and son to steer clear of such tainted cash?
How to explain the hypocrisy?
As with Obama's "You didn't build that" speech, liberals spent the weekend trying to contain the damage from Clinton's remarks, staring their readers right in the eye and telling them Hillary didn't say what she so clearly said.
Protesting to register displeasure is a middle class reflex. It's the response of those who think that the institutions we deal with are basically democratic and just aren't hearing us. It's not a movement of real change. Like the Tea Party, it goes through the middle class motions of democracy without recognizing that the system is fundamentally broken and will not be fixed at that level.
If the Met had decided to put on an opera in which Jews were the victims and Muslims were the villains, activists from the left would have chained themselves inside with bullhorns, they would have poured fake blood on themselves and on the patrons, they would have done their best to disrupt every performance turning the story around from the opera to their message.
And they would have gotten their way.
Militant tactics aren't the only option, but you either have a goal and a plan for accomplishing it or you're going through the motions of outrage. You're not going to win an argument with the liberal establishment with a protest rally featuring two retired politicians. You're not going to get people to take the murder of Jews by Muslim terrorists seriously by doing the same things that failed when it came to Nazi Germany and the USSR.

That's the fact that too many of us are missing as we argue and explain the right to keep and bear to leftist assholes and their Orphan-Annie-eyed gully-bulls.

What they do care about it is the Socialist/Communist agenda they work to impose and destroying the obstacles to the implementation thereof – primarily the armed citizen.
We have to continue to explain what the 2nd Amendment; it's our job. It's our duty. Because there are always a few people in the anti-gun ranks that don't have a clue about what the real issue is.
But if we are to ever get to the point where we don't have to do that but … say, once a month, ya know instead of fourteen times a day … we're going to be required to also explain why we have to explain.

He keeps using that privilege. I don't think it means what he thinks it means.
Over the past few weeks President Obama has made a few statements that I am sure made members of his own party, especially those running for the Senate, wish he would shut up and let Joe Biden do all of the talking. One of the more notable comments about voter ID laws came during a radio interview with the not-so-very Reverend Al Sharpton:
"Most of these laws are not preventing the overwhelming majority of folks who don't vote from voting," Obama told Sharpton. "Most people do have an ID. Most people do have a driver's license. Most people can get to the polls. It may not be as convenient' it may be a little more difficult."
And with that the anti-ID crowd got a close up view of the undercarriage of the Obama bus.
» Military immigrant program halted
A popular military enlistment program for immigrants with specialized skills is now stuck in bureaucratic limbo — after the Pentagon announced last month it would begin allowing some young immigrants without legal status into the program.
… no applications have been accepted since earlier this month — leaving would-be Army recruits in flux as the Army sorts through the complications created by the Pentagon's decision to allow beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals directive into the program.
"It's a major bureaucratic screw-up by the Obama administration," Margaret Stock, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve who first came up with the MAVNI program …
The MAVNI program was created by the Army as a one-year pilot program in 2008 to recruit immigrants here legally with specialized skills in areas where the military faced a shortfall and, in turn, offer the immigrants an expedited path to citizenship.
… The program was halted in 2010 but restarted in 2012 and authorized to run for two more years with a 1,500-person cap. It was set to expire last month, but the same memo that allowed DACA recipients into the MAVNI program also extended the program through fiscal 2016.
But that memo included a caveat: that the military departments "shall review and ensure that all program guidelines have been implemented and are in effect before commencing" with MAVNI applications for this fiscal year.
Stock, the retired Army officer, said there were several complications created by including DACA recipients in the MAVNI program.
"The MAVNI program is not designed for DACA at all," Stock said. "It was rather alarming to see DACAs being put into MAVNI. Someone didn't know what they were doing."
» CDC admitted disease imported as states data reveals illegal immigrant links
… 97 percent of the measles found in United States this year could be attributed to "importations from at least 18 countries."
Soon, after school doors opened this semester, doctors and hospitals across the country began tackling massive flare-ups of infectious diseases and severe respiratory illness among children. Experts have called these outbreak unprecedented.
Last month, White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest told Americans, "The risk of an Ebola outbreak in the United States is very low." At the same time, he assured us that the federal government was positioned to ensure the virus would not reach the U.S.
Then it did.
After Thomas Duncan was diagnosed in Dallas, Mr. Earnest again assured us that the chances of further spread were "incredibly low." Also, he told us that the president had "strong confidence" in Duncan's medical care and insisted procedures were in place to prevent the spread of Ebola to any of the heroic doctors and nurses risking their lives to take care of him.
Later, that "strong confidence" gave way to a dead Duncan and two new Ebola patients.
So what is it out there that this administration finds so much scarier than Ebola? What else? An election.
97 percent of the measles found in United States this year could be attributed to "importations from at least 18 countries."

» The CDC Doesn't Have A Funding Problem. It Has A Mission Creep Problem
if the CDC needs additional funding to deal with legitimate health scare like Ebola, it should certainly be available. What shouldn't be forgotten, though, is that CDC's budget and purview have swollen over the past few decades as it has seen an infusion of funding due to temporary health scares and trendy crusades that often go well beyond any mission it should be pursuing.
For starter, the CDC's biggest cutbacks came before sequestration …
The CDC can't afford to keep a aerial 'bio-containment unit' on retainer, but it does have museum, a massive staff and a lots of waste and fraud. In 2007, Senator Coburn's office authored a 115-page report detailing things like the CDC budget gimmicks, the agency's hundreds of millions of dollars of waste on junkets and elaborate digs and its institutional failures to actual 'control diseases' – and this includes AIDs prevention. It's doubtful things have gotten better.

We expect a certain amount of corruption from our politicians. It might even be unrealistic to deny its inevitability. But there are places where we must draw the line or become a republic of monsters.

The barest study of just the documents provided by Media Matters itself bears out the truth of this.

Fed up with the interminable delay caused Holder's gamesmanship and stonewalling, JW renewed its request to the Court to allow our transparency lawsuit to continue. Thankfully, this past July, Judge John D. Bates ended the 16-month delay and ordered the Obama administration to produce a Vaughn index of the alleged "executive privilege" records by October 1. Judge Bates noted that no court has ever "expressly recognized" President Obama's unprecedented executive privilege claims in the Fast and Furious matter.
Unhappy with having to produce the records prior to the elections, Justice lawyers asked the judge to give them one extra month, until November 3 (the day before Election Day!) to produce the info. Judge Bates rejected this gambit, suggested that the Holder's agency did not take court order seriously. Rather than a month, Judge Bates gave Justice until yesterday to cough up the Vaughn index. Judge Bates issued his smack down on September 23.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced his resignation two days later.
Fast and Furious was a DOJ/Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) "gun running" operation in which the Obama administration reportedly allowed guns to go to Mexican drug cartels hoping they would end up at crime scenes, advancing gun-control policies.

» You Can't Reform Islam Without Reforming Muslims
To reform Islam, we can't just look at what is wrong with the Koran or the Hadiths. We have to ask why these tribal calls for violence and genocide, for oppression and enslavement, appealed to Muslims then and why they continue to appeal to Muslims today.
The modernizers assume that Western Muslims would welcome a reformation of Islam. They are half right. The reformation that they are welcoming is that of the Wahhabis trying to return it to what it was. It's hard to deny that ISIS touches something deep within Muslims.
Understanding Islam only in terms of the Koran makes it seem as if Muslims are unwillingly trapped by a tyranny of the text, when the text is actually their means of trapping others into affirming their identity.
Reforming Islam is not a matter of crossing out certain words and adding others. Religions carry a powerful set of values that appeal to people on a deep level. To change Islam, we would have to understand why its ugliness still speaks to Muslims. To change it, we have to change them.

A new study led by researchers at Occidental College and the University of California at Santa Barbara has found that the oil platforms dotting the California coast are fantastic for sea life.
… ecosystems that build up around artificial rigs host 1,000 percent more fish and other sea life than natural habitats such as reefs and estuaries. The California rigs outstripped even famously rich ecosystems such as the coral reefs of French Polynesia.
The environmental jihad against oil predates hysteria about global warming by decades. Oil was an enemy back when people were still fretting over the looming ice age.

Beneath the surface, schools of rockfish, garibaldi and angel fish swim between the risers that are themselves encrusted with coral, sponge, algae, sea urchins, crabs and snails. Like castles in an aquarium, disused platforms are sprawling with underwater residents. But, these creatures shouldn't make themselves too comfortable, for their habitats may soon be demolished.
Thirty years after it was built and just months after it was abandoned, the High Island 389-A rig will be removed under plans put forward by the US Department of Interior. The department cites concerns about the potential for spills from this well, located within the 56-square mile Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
Critics may find it ironic then that this same department, led by Ken Salazar, wants to blast the High Island structure with explosives, killing thousands of fish and damaging delicate seafloor ecologies in the process.

After 2012, Democrats figured out that Republicans do not have the spine to call them on election fraud. Consequently you can expect it to become ever more blatant until the very concept of elections collapses into farce, as in other banana republics.
… the first sitting U.S. Attorney General ever found in criminal contempt of Congress, regrets that he was unable to strip Americans of the firearms that the citizens would find most useful in defending themselves from tyrannical government officials such as himself
Mr. Holder and his allies on the progressive far left have long desired to outlaw this popular firearms because their characteristics make them extremely useful for self defense not just against criminals (most experts regard the AR-15 platform in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO as one of the best home defense weapons made), but also against a bloated federal government that is becoming increasingly lawless, tyrannical and overbearing under his blatantly partisan and possibly criminal leadership.
I want the whole world to know that I'm going to be hanged for helping my neighbor. I'm guilty of having shown someone sympathy. What did I do wrong? I drank water from a well belonging to Muslim women, using "their" cup, in the burning heat of the midday sun.
I, Asia Bibi, have been sentenced to death because I was thirsty. I'm a prisoner because I used the same cup as those Muslim women, because water served by a Christian woman was regarded as unclean by my stupid fellow fruit-pickers.
Whether deliberately or not, Muslims and their fellow travelers facilitate the next bloody Islamic terror attack on New York by using political correctness to compel authorities to put their guard down.
» Sweden passes law to criminalize any criticism of immigration
A new law will come into effect in Sweden after Christmas 2014, that will allow people to be prosecuted for criticizing immigration or politician's unwillingness to tackle the issue.
… meant to stop Swedish people from complaining about their country being turned into a third world nation.
Anarchists, racial power groups, communists, would-be revolutionaries, anti-police groups and the Democrat Party have all attempted to exploit the shooting and the botched police response to further their personal and political agendas.
… the requested supply goes far beyond the demand created by Obama's last executive amnesty, the DACA program for DREAMers. As of March, 550,000 people had enrolled; even if you assume, say, a million enrollees eventually, that's 5 million EADs needed at most over the next five years plus, potentially, a million PRCs. Assume another two million work permits issued each year for other guest workers in the normal course of business and add in the current wait list of nearly five million people for green cards. You're upwards of 21 millions cards needed over the next five years. So what's that 34 million figure all about?
… The only thing that would seem to explain it is O deciding unilaterally to legalize some swath of the 11 million illegals who are already here, making them eligible to work lawfully at American businesses.
» Obama Plans to Illicitly Import Massive Numbers of Haitians
We watch in horror as Obama imports Ebola vectors from West Africa and prepares to decree amnesty for the tens of millions of Third Worlders already in the country illegally. But we need to remember to watch the other hand …
The point of course is to make America less like America and more like Haiti. Importing enough largely welfare-dependent Third Worlders of a race unlikely ever to fully assimilate into America society will of course be a boon to the party that maintains power largely by confiscating money from whites and redistributing it to nonwhites in return for their votes.
that was Sunday. One day later, the mysterious pro-Kay Hagan "lynching" flier warning about the GOP impeaching Obama appeared in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
… One day after that, Georgia Democrats are hinting to black voters that their children might very well end up shot by white cops unless they turn out for Nunn and Carter
… It's effective, and the media's not going to shame them over it. The media agrees with them.

As the election approaches everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. Not only did Obama's aggressive efforts to stoke racial unrest on the border and in Ferguson to turn out the minority voters who generally sit out midterm elections backfire, but the resulting messes deepened the popular impression that he was in over his head. Now instead of pivoting from Global Warming to a minimum wage to some offensive thing that some local Republican somewhere said, the media is stuck in an Ebola-ISIS cycle that reminds Americans on a daily basis that everything really is out of control.
Obama is already receding into the imagination of liberals as the youthful folly of a political Age of Aquarius when millennials tried to levitate the Pentagon by electing a brash inexperienced community organizer to fix the world. They are writing him off as an act of political naiveté by a war-traumatized generation still unaware of the practical limits of the real world.
The progressive resurgence was powered by leftist billionaires and non-profits chasing power. They have the money and the organization, but they don't have the candidates. Six years of Obama produced compelling conservative figures like Ted Cruz, Trey Gowdy and Mike Lee. There's no equivalent to them on the left. It's why liberal billionaire election spending is characterized more by the candidates that they are against rather than the ones that they are for. They have spent so much time and money battling the Tea Party that they have failed to build a post-Obama political future for their movement.
The progressive will continue to haunt American politics, but his current hipster incarnation is headed for extinction.
Since when did, "I'm offended," become an argument that trumps all facts, logic and common sense? When did regularly claiming to be aggrieved on behalf of some splinter of the population become a high paying gig? How did we get to a point in America where people are PROUD to tell you that they're "victims?"
The difference between today and the start of the 16th century is that our prosperity has allowed a few puddles full of whiners to grow into an ocean and worse yet, we REWARD them for bellyaching.
In the era of the Internet and reality TV, everyone seems to be chasing Andy Warhol's "fabled 15 minutes of fame" and one of the easiest ways to get them, especially if you don't have any talent or don't want to work for them, is to throw a big public pity party for yourself.
There are people who quite literally make a living by accusing other people of racism, sexism and homophobia. Do you really think people — who are only going to be able to make their house payments if they keep making accusations of racism — are going to see anything other than bigotry when there's money on the line?
A hallmark of August was pointlessly destructive civil disorder, and it's only gotten more pointless. In late September, the makeshift memorial to Michael Brown on the street in Ferguson burned down, probably set alight by its own candles. This set off minor rioting, including the vandalizing of a beauty salon that has been hit multiple times for the offense of operating a business in a town where protesters are so committed to justice.
» Bus Driver Organizes Black Mob Violence Against White Family
Some stories you have to read 10 times before deciding: 'Yes: What I thought was too crazy is really true.'
This is one of those stories. Here goes, believe it or not:
A black Baltimore bus driver organized a mob of 20 black people to assault a white family of three on her bus, which they did with gusto and pepper spray. All the while, the other black passengers hooted and hollered in encouragement.
All while the bus driver waited for the beating to finish so the attackers could get back on the bus. With her thanks.
The bus company didn't give a darnn. And it took Baltimore police two months before they even investigated it.
How strange that Iraq, WMD, bombing, and preemption reappear in the news, but now without the hysteria of the Bush era.
For much of the Bush administration we heard from the Left the refrain, "Bush lied, thousands died," as if the president had cooked intelligence reports to conjure up a nonexistent threat from Saddam Hussein's stockpiles of WMD — stockpiles that Bill Clinton had insisted until his last days in office posed an existential threat to the United States. Apparently if a horde of gas shells of 20th-century vintage was found, it was then deemed irrelevant — as if WMD in Iraq could only be defined as huge Iraqi plants turning out 21st-century stockpiles weeks before the invasion.
The smear of Bush was the bookend of another popular canard, the anti-Bush slogan "No blood for oil." Once the fact that the U.S. did not want Iraqi oil was indisputable, that slander metamorphosed. Almost immediately the Left pivoted and charged that we were not so much oil sinister as oil stupid
The Bush administration did not help much. It never replied to its critics that fear of stockpiled WMD had originally been a Clinton-administration fear, a congressional fear, an international fear — and a legitimate fear. I suppose that the Bush people wanted the issue of WMD to just go away, given the insurgency raging in Iraq and the effective Democratic campaign to reinvent fear of WMD as a sinister Bush conspiracy.
No one, of course, noted that the initial success in Iraq also helped shut down Moammar Qaddafi's WMD program in Libya and pressured the Pakistanis to arrest (for a while) the father of their bomb …
It seems strange that in an era where little kids face suspension and expulsion for such offenses as chewing their Pop-Tarts into the shape of a gun, there might be any debate about the summary expulsion of college students who helped organize a violent riot. The sense that this is something that can be gotten away with is part of the reason it keeps happening.
When the standard is no longer "don't physically assault people, even if they disrespect you," the standard has been lowered; the subsequent thousand hours of cable-news roundtable argument and op-ed hammering of society at large is merely a negotiation over how low it will go, and for which groups. Likewise, when the bar is no longer set at "riots and vandalism are absolutely wrong," it's not surprising that young people might begin asking just how far down that bar can be pushed.
… increasingly in our society, the sacred and not-so-sacred beliefs of everyone but Christians are protected while Christians are deemed intolerant pariahs who must be forced to conform to behavior repugnant to their beliefs.
Notice who the aggressors are here. Notice who is being intolerant. Why can't same-sex couples who want to marry under the newly minted law find ministers who have no objection to the procedure? Are they seeking the vindication of their rights or trying to force their beliefs on other people to the point of compelling them to deny their own?
The sheer acceleration of the left's militancy should horrify people. Just last week, these actions seemed like a realistic but distant threat, but today they're already happening.
Many of us keep warning our fellow Christians (and other freedom lovers) that their apathy and refusal to fight for their rights in the public square is going to bite them where it hurts. Could it be that this, along with other disturbing developments around the country, will wake them up?
Lemme Summit Furya
When I was in the seventh grade I was tormented (along with the majority of my male classmates) by a trio of older bullies. But by the eight grade, I didn't have a problem with them. Because although I was never able to successfully fight them, (yea, I tried) they realized that whipping somebody's butt on the playground was more trouble than it was worth, when that somebody was apt to sneak up on them later with a 2×4.
Point: You get what you tolerate. Bullies don't pick on those who fight back. As long Christians continue using scriptural extracts to justify being pussies, both cheeks become 'other', and will be slapped as long as you continue to turn them.
And while I'm on the subject …
Christians, stop trying to figure out who the anti-Christ is, ok? Refusal to participate in the fight because you think it's the end times and you're not going to be around for the final knockdown-dragout is just a wimpy excuse.
Esquire has a big story for their November magazine on just how awful it is to be a congressman. "We're in a living hell and don't know how to get out," …
His district is drawn so conservative that he can't be the soft-spoken, loving, caring Republican he really is. The hicks and rubes who elected him are bigots who hate the President, so he has to pretend to be publicly.
And if he doesn't actually operate the way he claimed he was, those damn conservative groups will tell on him.
Congressmen have been lying to get elected and they resent like hell that there are now groups able to expose their lies and record.
The entire original prosecution against Sierra Pacific appears to have been driven by the Department of Justice's interest in hitting a "deep pocket" for millions of dollars of revenue. The Defendants' motion to set aside the settlement reveals a series of fraudulent acts by federal and state authorities that defiles our system of justice.
A California state judge, Leslie C. Nichols, in a related state case issued orders earlier this year describing what he called "egregious," "pervasive," and "reprehensible" abuses in the investigation and prosecution amounting to "government corruption." He found the state case to "betray the primary purpose of the judicial system—to reveal the truth." He awarded $32 million in fees and expenses to the Defendants, finding as the Sacramento Bee reports, that the state agency, Cal Fire, "withheld some documents, destroyed other evidence and 'engaged in a systematic campaign of misdirection with the purpose of recovering money' from Sierra Pacific."
… instead of charging people who allegedly ordered evidence destroyed, the DOJ indicted the entire company. That destroyed the accounting firm. Publicly traded companies cannot do business with companies under criminal investigation, so Andersen lost most of its clients.
The prosecutor's purpose, says Powell, was to chill resistance from other companies that might dare fight the Feds. The message: cooperate, or we will destroy you!
Perhaps there is some over-compensation and over-correction that is, ironically, going to cause a lot of pollsters to repeat the mistakes of 2012. There is no evidence that the voters who vote for Barack Obama are the Democrats' voters. They are Barack Obama's voters.
Four days without internet or TV or phones … without the news of "Hope & Change", hope and change actually began to sprout. But alas, here I am back at the computer screen that sucks me back into the real world – where I see that
Fundamental Transformation Continues Unabated.
For starters, the Progressive-Socialist-Leftists (PSL) still seek total control over our lives – and recognizing the main impediment to their control is our guns, they still try to trick us into giving up our only means of defending ourselves (and our Constitution) from them.
In the news are two Pennsylvania politicians existing in paradox. They carry and have now used a gun for defense while wearing the big (D) on their title … in seemingly oblivious ignorance of their official party's official stance on guns.
So far, Ebola has killed more Americans (one) than Global Warming. But it's still early, and the climate has time to prepare strategy. Neither are very hopeful of catching up with islam.
Our military, while enduring the pussification of PSL leadership, while being handed termination of employment slips as they reach around for a fresh magazine and while being subjected to embarrassment (umbrella corpse) and contempt (coffecup salutes) by their CIC, may have to go to the mid-east to face marauding head-choppers (again²) armed with baskets of hope and change or to Africa armed with whatever caliber rifle has been designated for shooting a virus.
Organized criminal entities are ticked off that some State governments aren't going to do their work for them. They have to do their own arm-twisting threats to milk dues money from private and public employees who are no longer forced to join unions.
John Hanoi Kerry is still a raving idiot.
Muslims are still way, way ahead of Global Warming and Ebola in the race to exterminate the human race.
We are only 15 days away from finding out just how mean and nasty (THHO)Obama can be when he doesn't have to pander to voters anymore.
Those WMDs were there, still there – W's vindication being provided by (THHO)Obama's Islamic State … who ain't a bit shy about wiping out entire populations with a single trigger pull.
And if Barry has to cut short just one more round of golf, just one more! He's gonna kick some viral butt.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED, and not for the better. Wide-open borders admit terrorists, but even when jihadists are captured, the Secretary of Homeland Security denies it, and then denies they're jihadists. What is apparently a justified shooting of a robber by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer sparks massive rioting, reminding Americans of how fragile race relations have become. On top of this, the very real threat of governmental tyranny, compounded by the serial lying of the President and virtually everyone in his administration is a stark reminder that we are, in every way that matters, on our own.
If there is no right to self-defense, no right to mere survival, your life is forfeit to the whims of those cruel and strong enough to take it. This may not be a concern if you are a young, strong, physically imposing male well schooled and practiced in the martial arts. However, even the strongest may be overcome by force of numbers or trickery (ask Samson about that), and no one is young forever, as Edmond Rostand made plain in Cyrano De Bergerac. If you are not young, strong and physically capable, things are rather different.
In this understanding we can find the ultimate women's issue, for women are nearly universally and undeniably in trouble where physical size, strength and aggression are the primary determinants of mere survival.
Some–primarily Progressives–would have us believe that refusing to pay with tax dollars for every woman's contraception–which is cheap and available at every pharmacy in the nation–constitutes a "war on women." The real war on women is continually seeking to deny women the most effective means to preserve their very lives.

» UK gun owners now subject to warrantless home searches
The new policy from the British Home Office went into effect Oct. 15, permitting police and constabularies to conduct surprise home visits to legitimate gun owners.
"Americans should view the UK's ever-expanding gun control efforts with grave concern," the National Rifle Association's lobbying arm said on its website Friday.
Britain's gun owners were subject to the home visits before the update, but the inspection had to be conducted with prior notice.
"Where it is judged necessary, based on specific intelligence in light of a particular threat, or risk of harm, the police may undertake an unannounced home visit to check the security of a certificate holder's firearms and shotguns," the updated policy says.
Unless, I assume, the gun owner happens to be muslim – because this is Englandistan we're talking about and no insult to the protected class (the ones most likely to use guns to commit violence) will be tolerated.
The Colorado Division of Insurance announced Friday a surge in health-care policy cancellations in the wake of Obamacare, just what Democratic candidates in high-profile races didn't need less than three weeks before Election Day.

» Union enrollment plummets for Wisconsin teachers under tough law
Given no choice but to join and pay dues to the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) for decades, teachers have for the last three years been able to opt out. And that is what tens of thousands have done
WEAC has been accused of having a partisan political alliance with the Democratic Party in the state and backed a failed recall against Walker. Despite losing the policy battle, the union still pressures teachers to join
… WEAC often uses fear to recruit new teachers, suggesting they need protection from administrators.
… "If the union is so beneficial and good, people will want to join on the principle and the merits and not be forced to join,"
One of the major enemies of freedom is the ideology of Islam. Its precepts and practices all stand in opposition to individual freedom.

There's way too much stupid here to handle in a brief article, but since our security is too critical to ignore this, I'll truncate it …
— There are 164 Jihad verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islam.
— Based upon various legit polls, more than half the world's population of Muslims are radicalized (a core will commit the acts, the rest show support verbally and fiscally).
— Human Rights, my Aunt Fanny! Human Rights are as Islam dictates:
** Islam promotes Slavery & Sex Slavery
** Islam forbids Freedom of Expression
** Islam forbids Freedom to Leave Islam (Apostasy)
** Islam forbids Religious Freedom
… remaining stupid on Islam is too dangerous to tolerate.
It's unbelievable that a nation that became the powerhouse of the planet, that set the standard for freedom, that churned out manufactured goods that made us the envy of the globe, that enabled its people to make that famous 5,000-year leap … now cannot be trusted to roast our own marshmallows without government guidance.
"You can't do anything about terrorists, but you'll keep us safe from marshmallows."
It's all for our own good, of course. It always is. The government rarely makes suggestions unless it's in the name of "safety," which is its universal code word for "control." Of course, where safety really is a concern (as with foreign diseases), the government's incompetence is staggering.
What else are we too stupid to do? Eat? Hold jobs? Choose health insurance? Buy homes? Educate our children?

On June 28, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over Fast and Furious documents. It was the first time an Attorney General was held in contempt. President Obama then exerted executive privilege for the first and only time of his administration to keep the documents secret.
Judicial Watch sued the Justice Department over the withheld documents and a federal judge has ruled that the government must turn over some information by October 22.
Shortly after that ruling, Attorney General Holder announced plans to retire but did not provide a reason for the timing of his announcement.
In the difficult calculus of war, competing missions had created tensions. If documenting chemical weapons delayed the destruction of explosive weapons that were killing people each week, or left troops vulnerable while waiting for chemical warfare specialists to arrive, then reporting chemical weapons endangered lives.
Many techs said the teams chose common sense. "I could wait all day for tech escort to show up and make a chem round disappear, or I could just make it disappear myself," another tech said.
The tech who exploded a mustard shell in 2004 said the disposal teams had little time to register and report each item they found in Iraq's stockpiles. Everything, he said, went into demolition piles.
"You set up these huge shots day after day and you don't research every single round because you would just use up all of your time doing research," he said. "There were more chem rounds that were discovered and just blown in place."
In late 2005 and early 2006, soldiers collected more than 440 Borak 122-millimeter chemical rockets near Amara, in southeastern Iraq. And in the first nine months of 2006, the American military recovered roughly 700 chemical warheads and shells … British forces also destroyed 21 Borak rockets in early 2006, including some that contained nerve agent …
… Army made its largest chemical weapons find of the war: more than 2,400 Borak rockets. … At least 38 techs worked for weeks, excavating rockets, crushing many of them and then reburying them and covering them with concrete. Mr. Lampier said he was told to describe the work in blandly bureaucratic terms: "Nothing of significance."
… the president had to act quickly and did just that on Friday when he tagged Democratic operative Ron Klain to be his "Ebola czar."
To stay on top of the narrative, Obama scheduled a Saturday meeting for "his national security and public health teams to update him on the response to the domestic Ebola cases …
Because nothing scares a virus more than a czar with it's name on it.
But the meeting was held AFTER his golf game.

» Why Weren't US Hospitals Equipped to Handle Ebola Patients?
You can click on over and watch the short video if ye wanna. But! I can summit furya:
Because Ebola has been, for decades, a nasty problem that existed only in sparsely populated African crap-holes. It appeared, wiped out small populations and then disappeared.
And for decades nobody paid much attention because it was there, and the assumption was no chance of it coming here – because we had common sense on our side; we had huge, competent and ever-vigilant agencies in place to make sure it didn't come here. We had presidents and stuff like that.
So, of course, hospitals weren't equipped or trained to handle a mass-killer virus that's never been on this side of the pond and could never be … because presidents and stuff.
But not to worry, oki? President Obola has sent some guys over there to kill that danged Ebola bin Laden. Armed with a new caliber rifle for shooting virus, I reckon … fires itty bitty lil bullets.

Did you know that President Obama already has an "Ebola Czar"? Dr. Nicole Lurie is the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Lurie has been mysteriously absent from discussions of the Ebola outbreak. The media seems rather incurious about her even though she's served in her very high-ranking position for five years. She is one of only eight direct reports to the HHS Secretary.
But Lurie has a sordid background …
… has been carefully written out of the media's stories on the government's response to Ebola. She's an embarrassment; one of thousands of incompetent, political hacks who have burrowed into the federal bureaucracy, seemingly more intent on thievery than on their actual jobs.
» Obama's First Ebola Czar Was Embroiled in a Massive Scandal in 2011 and Still Holds Her Job
In November 2011, David Willman of The Los Angeles Times described another instance of taxpayer abuse by the Obama administration, this time in the Department of Health and Human Services. Obama's first "Ebola Czar" — Dr. Nicole Lurie — is said to have directed nearly half a billion dollars to a huge Obama donor for a vaccination no one wanted.
Perhaps some of the geniuses in the GOP can dredge up this article when they're accused — falsely — of slashing someone's budget. First off, no one's budget's been slashed.

… a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a "surge" scenario of 9 million id cards in one year "to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements."

As clueless and ignorant as Dhimmicrats are, they maintain enough logic-processing grey matter to realize that the majority of Americans are sick and tired of their shit and are about to kick their asses out in approximately 15 days. However, as history would predict, Dhimmicrats ain't smart (or moral) enough to change their policies to maintain their grip on power. The obvious solution to their problem is to replace the American voters by diluting them with non-American but pro-Dhimmicrat voters.
The progressive-socialist left (PSL) is willing to forego this election and maybe the next while incubating and cultivating their future non-english-speaking voting base.
Note that so far the PSL hasn't grown big enough nads to grant citizenship to aliens before said aliens actually enter the U.S. … but if we give em time and space (and continued use of oxygen) they will get to that point. Mark those words – and these: Dhimmicrats will replace American voters that don't vote Dhimmicrat.

» Green Energy Windfall at Taxpayer Expense for Kay Hagan's Husband
Green energy stinks from the point of view of the taxpayers forced to finance it, but it is wonderful for politicians like Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) and better still for their relatives and cronies. Yet another example from Obama's staggeringly corrupt Porkulus fiasco
The Slimes and the rest of the liberal media establishment spent most of Bush's presidency shrieking like scalded cats that Bush lied because there were no weapons of mass destruction. This bogus allegation was a political wound that never stopped bleeding the entire time he was in office. He could have countered by making information regarding the chemical weapons discoveries public. Yet he chose not to.
In jarring contrast, Obama has never passed up an opportunity to advance his short-term political fortunes with his loose lips, most infamously when he spewed classified information regarding the Bin Laden raid that endangered Navy SEALs and their families.
Regarding vindication of Bush's decision to wrap up unfinished business in Iraq, the Slimes is reduced to claiming that these weapons don't count because they were too old for Saddam to use more than a decade ago, even though they are not too old for the Islamic State to use now.

The U.S. Army is falling apart with only 12 of 37 brigades combat ready. Our Navy is disappearing.

And with all this, our secretary of State — who has no scientific expertise whatsoever but does speak mediocre French — thinks "global warming" is our biggest problem.
Religiously, Wahhabism has done its best to recreate the "pure" Islam of its origins. Economically, oil has allowed the Gulf Arabs to prosper without reform or change. And if Mohammed were to ride out of the desert tomorrow, he would have little trouble fitting in, as soon as he developed a taste for Porsches. Anyone who wants to see the world as it was in Mohammed's day can visit Saudi Arabia and see inbred clans, slave labor, veiled women and thugs enforcing the will of Allah on every corner.
Islam came out of the desert and it has never left the desert, instead it has brought the desert with it along with its codes, its deep hatreds, its constant deprivation, its deceptiveness and its nomadic expansionism. Where Islam goes, the desert rises, its tents, its red knives and its insecurities. It was backward even at the time of its birth and it has only become more so, but its singlemindedness is an advantage in an age of effete leftectuals and eurocrats dreaming of a transnational world.
You can hardly blame the desert bandits for being what they are, but you can blame the apostles of reason for preaching about a golden age of tolerance and enlightenment from every purloined pulpit and then turning away the heartland to a religion that is nakedly brutal and intolerant at home.
If Saudi Arabia is not an example that we wish to emulate, then why must we bodily incorporate the religion of Mecca and Medina into London and Los Angeles? What other possible outcome do we imagine that there will be but fewer rights and more violence, dead women, abused children, bomb plots and polygamy?

Naturally, Obama is sending troops from the 101st Airborne, the pride of our Army, to Liberia. Their general should resign in protest.

… it's clear that the whole thing was just an extreme caricature of everything that sucks and is farcical about the UN. Rewarding quasi-dictatorial strongmen and treating them as being on a par with, say, totally democratically elected premiers from countries that recognize human rights and civil liberties and property rights and things like that. Giving authoritarian regimes and people who worked for terrorist-supporting dictators a seat at the table and conferring legitimacy and credibility upon them. Trying to erode countries' sovereignty in secret, with zero transparency.
» Obama Has An Ebola Czar. She Re-Directed Federal Research Money to a Democrat Donor
Dr. Nicole Lurie, the czar in charge of potential infectious disease catastrophes, has made the most of her time by funneling federal dollars to Democratic donors.
That would be the federal dollars the left says we need more of.
Among the things your tax dollars have paid to find out while the impoverished Ebola vaccine team was forced to eat ramen noodles and go without clean underwear:
• Male fruit flies would rather have sex with hot young female fruit flies rather than wrinkly older female fruit flies who are starting to look like Hillary Clinton. ($939,000)
• Chimps with the best feces-flinging abilities are also the best communicators, clearly establishing a Darwinian link to politicians. ($592,000)
• Cocaine can be used to make Japanese quail hornier. Which presumably cuts down on the amount of time they need for small talk and foreplay. ($181,000)
• Golfers can putt better if they just imagine the hole is bigger. Presumably female golfers can benefit from the same visualization technique when giving birth. ($1.1 million)
• Uncircumsized South African men who scrub their tallywhackers following sex may have a reduced chance of developing various kinds of godawful African crotch crud. ($832,000)
Still inconclusive is an expensive NIH study on why lesbians have a tendency to be overweight. We would suggest it's because they eat out too often, but the NIH grant we requested for a drummer to play therapeutic rimshots fell through.
» On The Precipice Of A Breakdown In Confidence
Am I personally worried about an Ebola outbreak in the US? On balance … no, not at all. But don't tell me that I'm an idiot if I have questions about the sufficiency of the social policies being implemented to prevent that outbreak. And make no mistake, that's EXACTLY what I have been told by CDC Directors and Dr. Gupta and the White House and all the rest of the super genius, supercilious, remain-calm crew.
I am calm. I understand that a victim must be symptomatic to be contagious. But I also understand that one man's symptomatic is another man's "I'm fine", and questioning a self-reporting immigration and quarantine regime does not make me a know-nothing isolationist.
I am calm. But I am angry, too. It doesn't have to be this way … this consensus-by-fiat style of policy leadership where we are always only one counter-factual reveal – the sick nurse or the sick economy – away from a breakdown in market or governmental confidence. I am angry that we have been consistently misjudged and underestimated, treated as children to be "educated" rather than as citizens to be trusted. I am angry that our most important political institutions have sacrificed their most important asset – not their credibility, but their authenticity – on the altar of political expediency, all in a misconceived notion of what it means to lead.

Dunlap is the man who shot 5 and killed 4 at a Chuck E. Cheese in Aurora in 1993 …
Governor Hickenlooper granted him a "temporary reprieve" when the date for his execution came up in 2013 …
Hickenlooper indicated to a CNN reporter that he could take it further by granting the mass murderer full clemency if he were defeated by his pro-death penalty Republican opponent in November …
I'm trying to sort this one out in my head, trying to lay out the documented facts in a manner that would allow me to go about my business today without feeling guilty for not loading up and going on a leftist-ass-whipping rampage.
So here's the documented facts:
* Dunlap used a gun to slaughter as many people as he could – because he was angry at being fired. This happened in Aurora – same town where another oxygen-waster (James Holmes) later went Cocoa Puffs Coocoo with guns in a theater.
* The Dhimmicrat's response is to outlaw guns because without the influence of guns nuts don't go nuts.
* The Dhimmicrat governor says that one of those murderering nuts doesn't deserve the death penalty because …( I can only guess, but it seems to be because) Dunlap is black.
* The Dhimmicrat governor has stated that if he is not reelected he will use his execute powers to free Dunlap, forgive his transgressions and set him on the path to fame and fortune as the next-new figurehead of the leftist version of civil rights. So, shall I assume that if Loopy Hick is reelected then Dunlap remains in prison? Will the leftist idiots protesting Dunlap's imprisonment while seeking Hick's reelection be able to detect the paradox?
Holmes? Screw him … he's white. And since both mass murders were the fault of the guns Dunlap deserves freedom because he fell under the evil influence of the gun. Holmes is white, so he should have know better? Should have had more resistance to the gun's evil than the black guy? Because being black means being a little less cognitive or connected to reality? Well? What?
None of it makes sense. None of it follows any logical thought process. None of it should be tolerated.
[sigh] I guess I'm just lazy. I'm gonna do today as though everything is just hunky-dang-diddly normal and logical and there's no reason to go on that leftist-ass-whipping rampage …
Just like you.

» Ben Affleck: Portrait of Islam's Clueless Apologists
Sharia most certainly does call for any number of things — subjugation of women and religious minorities, war on "infidels" and the enslavement of their women and children, bans on free speech and apostasy — that even Affleck would normally condemn.
… can one say with similar certainty that every single Muslim alive today believes that the apostasy penalty should be upheld? Obviously not. Yet this is not a reflection of Islam; it is a reflection of individual human freedom — a freedom that ironically goes against Islamic teaching.
… for roughly one millennium — punctuated by a Crusader-rebuttal that people like Affleck are obsessed with demonizing — Islam daily posed an existential threat to Christian Europe and by extension Western civilization.
Yet today, whether as taught in high school or graduate school, whether as portrayed by Hollywood or the news media, the predominant historic narrative is that Muslims are the historic "victims" of "intolerant" Western Christians.
… the apologist believes there is no other recourse than to be an apologist; that the best policy is to ignore Islam's violence and intolerance, since the alternative — open acknowledgement — will lead to something worse, a clash of civilizations. War. And that must be avoided at all costs — so let us pretend.
What such apologists fail to recognize is that the clash of civilizations is already upon us; and it is not a product of Western "bigotry" but Islamic teaching. Whether we acknowledge it or not, here it is.
The reason apologists can get away (for now) with their reasoning is because the U.S. is ostensibly immune from Islam — so they can spin and pass off feel-good fables about Islam all they want.
Whether projecting Western intellectual maladies such as relativism onto Muslim teachings and persons; whether mindlessly crying "racist!" whenever Islamic teachings are criticized; whether confusing the matter by conflating the actions or beliefs of some Muslims with the actual black-and-white teachings of Islam; whether turning history upside its head by turning persecutors into victims and victims into persecutors; or whether, after being backed into a corner, exclaiming that one has no choice but to apologize as true speak will make things worse — in a nutshell, Ben Affleck's few minutes on Islam nicely summed up the Islamic apologetics game.
In the end, of course, Affleck may be excused. He's just a simple actor and not expected to know much outside of the realm of pretense. The true guilty ones are all those Americans in political positions whose job requires them to be honest with the American people but who continue to act — to lie — about Islam.

The shift from celebrating Columbus' arrival in America to commemorating it as an American Nakba by focusing on the Indians, rather than the Americans, is a profound form of historical revisionism that hacks away at the origins of this country.
No American state has followed Venezuela's lead in renaming it Día de la Resistencia Indígena, or Day of Indigenous Resistance, which actually is a Marxist terrorist group's holiday, the whole notion of celebrating the discovery of America has come to be seen as somehow shameful and worst of all, politically incorrect.
Anti-Columbus Day protests are mounted by La Raza, whose members, despite their indigenous posturing, are actually mostly descended from Spanish colonists, but who know that most American liberals are too confused to rationally frame an objection to a protest by any minority group.
Rathke's groups have a long history of using workers hired with federal funds for political purposes. ACORN's implosion amid scandal in 2009 is widely known, but the very first complaint against the group is much the same as Anthony's. In 1977, ACORN had a $470,000 federal contract to assist the poor through the Volunteer in Service to America program, which it lost after a congressional investigation found VISTA workers were being used as union recruiters.
A congressional report on those events bears an uncanny resemblance to the present case. If you change a few names – ACORN to SUN, ULO to ULU, and VISTA to ACA – the old story sounds rather familiar

It is part of an attempt to fix, isolate, and terrorize gun owners as "the other." It is Alinsky politics.

Top CDC bureauweenie Tom Frieden says that a "single inadvertent slip" can result in lethal Ebola infection. If healthcare professionals can make such a slip, your chances of surviving a bus ride next to a new arrival from Liberia are not looking good.
Meanwhile the federal government is leaving our border wide open, and even permitting people to openly fly in from the Ebola zone at a rate of 150 per day according the CDC itself. It is becoming increasingly evident that despite the government's lies to the contrary, Ebola is a very easy disease to transmit, yet no serious measures are being taken to keep it out of the country.
» Ebola outbreak: Why Obama is allowing Ebolaphobia to spread
Obama is very sensitive to being defined in any way by the borders of this country. I think he sees himself as a citizen of the world and sees Americans as having infected others with our deadly economic policies for a long time, thereby inflicting untold suffering on developing nations. To now lead the way to America insulating itself from a scourge sweeping the very countries he seems to think we have preyed upon could, of course, strike him (if only unconsciously) as profoundly unfair.
I believe the president may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations.
The toll of having a president who seems to see America as having no particular manifest destiny may be seen in the spread of ISIS abroad. And it could be seen, God forbid, in not mounting a sufficient immune defense here at home, to Ebola. Saying so, even at the risk of offending some or many, is the first step (here taken) to make it not so.

» Clueless reporters, "experts" cannot distinguish Temple Mount from Al Aqsa Mosque
Muslims like to refer to the entire Temple Mount as the Al Aqsa Mosque, and as a result Western "experts" often believe them. Here is the truth, as simply as I could show it:
Lest you think that Reuters is the only organization that parrots Arab lies about "Jews storming the Al Aqsa Mosque," here is how Joe Stork, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa division, described Ariel Sharon's 2000 visit to the Temple Mount in 2010:
Ariel Sharon's provocative visit to the site of the Al Aqsa mosque in East Jerusalem on September 29, 2000, and the response of Israeli security forces to Palestinian protestors, led to sustained clashes involving Israeli forces and armed Palestinians in what became known as the Al Aqsa intifada, or uprising.
To describe the Temple Mount as merely "the site of the Al Aqsa Mosque" would be akin to calling Manhattan "the site of Central Park."

To support his case for brutal tactics, Naji notes that two caliphs who followed the prophet Muhammad "burned (people) with fire, even though it is odious, because they knew the effect of rough violence in times of need." In another passage, he notes that "we need to massacre" others as Muslims did after the death of Muhammad. Violence is beneficial, Naji argues: "Dragging the masses into the battle requires more actions which will inflame opposition and which will make people enter into the battle, willing or unwilling. . . . We must make this battle very violent, such that death is a heartbeat away."

Liberals claim that the Islamic State is Un-Islamic. It would be more accurate to state that liberals are illiberal.
Ben Affleck isn't a liberal. He's an enthusiast of revisionist Communist historian Howard Zinn. The modern liberal of today is uninterested in identifying "illiberalism" since he is an illiberal man of the left. The most significant difference between the two is not simply political, but psychological. Liberals used to think about issues. Leftists respond to ideological cues while operating on a purely tribal wavelength.
Affleck's assertion that criticizing Islam is racist is impossible to argue with. It's completely wrong on multiple levels, but it's not an argument. It's a denunciation. It doesn't advance an argument; it rejects the argument and the arguer as illegitimate. And it's an ideological cue telling everyone else to follow.
Lenin wasn't fighting so that the peasants would have land, bread and peace. Today's liberals aren't fighting for equality of income, gender, race or any other kind. They are fighting to suppress any and all opposition to their policies by disrupting and destroying the existing American system at every level.
That's exactly what Islam is doing.
The CDC hasn't suggested reasons for the current uptick or its origin. Without that answer, some question whether the disease is being spread by the presence of tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children from Central America admitted to the U.S. in the past year.
The origin could be entirely unrelated.
Though the U.S. government is keeping secret the locations of the illegal immigrant children, there are significant numbers of them in both cities in which the current outbreak was first identified, Kansas City, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois, according to local advocates and press reports.
Despite being senior members of the Labour Party, they campaigned for:
a) The abolition of the age of consent for sex between adults and children. ( 'Sixteen is just a start' was a campaign slogan endorsed by the Labour Party's high profile homosexual campaigner Peter Tatchell)
b) Incest to be de-criminalized.
c) Sexually explicit photographs of children to be made legal.
People referring to themselves as 'progressives' now dominate politics and public life and unless the people wake up it is only a matter of time before sex between adults and children, incest and child pornography are legalized. They cynically used gay marriage as a precedent and with that now socially acceptable more of the Fabian/Bloomsbury progressive agenda will follow as sure night follows day.
(Please note that their linking homosexuality and paedophilia is a tactic they have used to achieve their aims. This is a slur and an affront to homosexuals and taints the issue of same sex marriage further)
This time, it might stand a better chance of getting through, though, because the US – which would probably raise hell about this scheme, since as I've noted above is a big tobacco producer and a big, fat global tobacco tax would be pretty bad for a lot of American businesses – is going to boycott the meeting. This is because the meeting will be held in Moscow. And even Barack Obama isn't keen enough on socialism or kissing the UN's butt to want to to send diplomats or health officials to pal around with Vladimir Putin while he looks like a super-awesome hero for hosting a big nanny-stater fest in his capital. And the WHO in its infinite wisdom didn't clock that holding a big conference in Russia might cause some people to take a pass on attending. (Or did they? Maybe it helps move a scheme like this along if no one shows up to take note of what the WHO is trying to do. I mean, last time, they allegedly blocked members of the media from covering their proceedings).

Leftists are missionaries of unhappiness.
I'm sure there are folks who ask "so what?" Here is the answer. A counterterrorism source described to Fox News how one military family was targeted around the same time. "The Facebook pages were then "swarmed" with derogatory messages such as kafir, or non-believer, in an online flash-mob-style attack. "This is the real deal," the counterterrorism source said, referring to the posts. "They want to find them [U.S. military], raise their profile, in the eyes of a potential 'lone wolf.'" The militants apparently encouraged others to join in the digital harassment. A post on one ISIS-linked Twitter account, translated for Fox News, said: "We have a raid on an American pilot account at 9:00 evening Mecca time who is participating in the crusaders' bombing. Retweet this if you are ready to be part of the raid."
The last thing we need to have happen in America is a repeat of the barbaric attack of British soldier Lee Rigby while he was walking back to his barracks. Needless to say, our Second Amendment rights in America reduce that possibility – but then you have progressive socialists in some states doing all they can to erode that right …
It is a sad day when they must now stand and fight for the safety and security of their own families here at home. It's time we traced this enemy to its gathering places and destroy it wherever it rears its ugly head.
» Remembering the Battle of Tours
The month of October marks the anniversary of an epic event that unfortunately is no longer widely known but which nonetheless shaped the future of the Western world …
Have you ever wondered how many future-shaping epic events there have been? And what percentage of them were about stomping the crap out of a bunch of marauding, bloody muslims?
Sometime in October … on the road between Poitiers and Tours … less than 175 miles from Paris, Abd-ar-Rahman arrayed his cavalry against Charles' solid block of Frankish footsoldiers …
… at dawn, Charles and his men discovered that the Muslim army had vanished, leaving the booty stolen from ransacked churches behind, as well as 10,000 of their dead – including Abd-ar-Rahman himself. It was not the last Muslim incursion into Europe …
… Many believe that if Charles – whom the Pope afterward dubbed Martel, or "the Hammer" – had not stopped Abd-ar-Rahman at Tours, there would have been nothing to prevent Europe from ultimately becoming Islamic.
Mankind has been saying 'no thanks' to islam for over one thousand, three hundred and eighty something years.
The conflict is different now – it's far from being as straightforward and elemental as two armies facing off – and so those new Martels won't necessarily be soldiers. They will also be culture warriors and activists and ordinary citizens willing to put themselves on the front lines against this new incursion. We need "free citizens willing to fight for their own freedom and the values of their civilization" – as Charles Martel and his warriors once were.
Islam has been feeding the buzzards of the world for 13.8 centuries.
World History is laden with the "epic events" precipitated by muslims – fights started by muslims and finished by infidels.
Perhaps Mohammed was actually the original PETA-hole, and devised a brilliant scheme to assure that buzzards will never go extinct.

When ISIS gave Iraqi Christians their time-honored tradition of choice — convert, be subjugated, or be killed — no one on the left stood up and vehemently condemned this action. What they did was try to dismiss and apologize, or declare this wasn't part of Islam, just something ISIS came up with.

» Thank You, ISIS for the wonderful introduction …
The beheadings have achieved what all the warnings from conservatives never could.
And then came ISIS. The horrific images of the beheadings, the reports of mass slaughters, and the threats to the American homeland have accomplished what our small contingent of beleaguered conservatives could never have achieved by ourselves. They brought images of these Islamic fanatics and savages into the living rooms of the American public, and suddenly the acceptable language for describing the enemy began to change. "Savages" and "barbarians" began to roll off the tongues of evening-news anchors and commentators who never would have dreamed of crossing that line before, for fear of offending the politically correct.
Language is a weapon in the battle against the threat we face. We cannot fight a war effectively when we cannot name the enemy or describe his methods or examine his influence on our own policy. The Islamic State has created an opportunity for common sense and realism to prevail. The tragedy is that it has taken the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Christians in the Middle East and the ongoing extermination of the Catholic presence in Iraq to begin to wake people up. And, unfortunately, the president is still asleep or, less charitably, is hostile to American purposes, is hostile to the military that defends us, and identifies more with the Islamic world that has produced these forces who would destroy us than with the country he is sworn to defend.

But then what exactly does he do besides give speeches at fundraisers, golf, vacation and blame Congress for not passing some gimmick bill that even his own party loyalists wouldn't touch in an attempt to divert attention from the latest disaster he only found out about through the media?
Having thrown everyone else under the bus, Obama is gently climbing under it for a short nap. Then he'll be back to change the subject from his latest failure to a proposal that is doomed to become a failure while urging Americans not to be cynical about all his past failures.
It's what makes him such a perfect man of the left.

Hands On Originals cannot discriminate against individuals because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In other words, the T-shirt company must service LGBT customers – no questions asked.
The examiner also ordered Adamson to attend "diversity training" conducted by – wait for it – the Lexington Human Rights Commission.
Take just a moment and let that sink in – a Christian business owner is being ordered to attend diversity training – because of his religious beliefs. That's a pretty frightening concept and a mighty dangerous precedent.

… it instructs teachers to interfere and interrupt if they ever hear a student talking about gender in terms of "boys and girls" so the student can learn that this is wrong.
The teachers were also given a handout created by the Center for Gender Sanity, which explains to them that "Gender identity . . . can't be observed or measured, only reported by the individual," and an infographic called "The Genderbred Person,"
You Get What You Tolerate

… once-nonpartisan federal bureaucracies have become catalysts for fundamentally transforming America. Often-ideological bureaucrats have forgotten their original mission.
A prominent conservative political pundit was uninvited from speaking at Scripps College, in a program designed to promote conservative views on campus, because of his conservative views.
The college's website describes the "Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program" — from which the initial overtures came — as having been established to bring irregular speakers to campus. Why? Because, administrators argue, being exposed to "a range of opinions about the world — especially opinions with which we may not agree, or think we do not agree — leads to a better educational experience." This sounds nice, certainly. But it is clear that Scripps doesn't mean a bloody word of it. By disinviting Will, the program's custodians have telegraphed their true assumptions: namely, that students will gain a "better educational experience" if they are subjected to only those other "opinions about the world" that can be squared with the existing curriculum.
It is not difficult to envision this Administration implementing this scourge, even if it is on a scaled down basis. They have a history of targeting conservatives and others through the IRS, the Justice Department, Homeland Security, the EPA, and other agencies. They have succeeded in tossing citizens into prison on trumped up charges or on charges that they committed obscure felonies that no one has even heard of. So why is it too giant a leap to envision the Administration conducting such a campaign of retaliation on a much broader scale?
First, the percentage of Americans who say they've been directly harmed by Obamacare continues to outpace the 'helped' contingent. This has been the case in every single poll Gallup has produced on this critical question — frequently by a double-digit margin. The latest disparity (27/16) is in the ballpark of the same two-to-one 'hurt vs. helped' breakdown we've seen consistently across numerous polls on this question. Second, the percentage of Americans saying that Obamacare has "had no effect" on their lives is incrementally grinding down towards 50 percent. Just before the law's failed launch last fall, nearly seven in ten Americans said they were unaffected by Obamacare; that number has since fallen by 15 percentage points.
There is no one that the left hates more than a man who does not hate, who goes through the day without outrage and who does not spend his life stewing with vindictive resentments.
Leftists call it "privilege" now.
It is this uncomplicated happiness that the left sets out to ruin at all costs.
It is the happiness of others that makes the left unhappy. It is convinced that this happiness is unearned and illegitimate because it does not take into account how unhappy this happiness makes the left.
