Obama: The fall

Charles Krauthammer  "It began with the sequester. Obama never believed the Republicans would call his bluff and let it go into effect. They did.

"Taken by surprise, Obama cried wolf, predicting the end of everything we hold dear if the sequester was not stopped. It wasn’t. Nothing happened.
"Highly embarrassed, and determined to indeed make (bad) things happen, the White House refused Republican offers to give it more discretion in making cuts. Bureaucrats were instructed to inflict maximum pain from minimal cuts, as revealed by one memo from the Agriculture Department demanding agency cuts that the public would feel."
....

Krauthammer moves on to the subject of Obama, Benghazi and Boston:
"All this while appearing passive, if not helpless, on the world stage. On Syria, Obama is nervously trying to erase the WMD red line he had so publicly established. On Benghazi, he stonewalled accusations that State Department officials wishing to testify are being blocked.

"He is even taking heat for the Boston bombings. Every day brings another revelation of signals missed beforehand. And his post-bombing pledge to hunt down those responsible was mocked by the scandalous Mirandizing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, gratuitously shutting down information from the one person who knows more than anyone about possible still-existent explosives, associates, trainers, future plans, etc."

 

The Tsarnaevs’ Facilitators; Who inspired the alleged Boston marathon bombers to find meaning in the most violent forms of madness?

"But Tsarnaev’s alleged turn to violent crime is hardly extraordinary—the particular form of crime he chose is worthy of closer and more nuanced attention than the press seems capable of giving it. No one becomes a jihadist terrorist in a vacuum, any more than one finds oneself in a U.S. Army uniform shooting at Taliban fighters in a vacuum; recruits may have all kinds of personal reasons for signing up, but there’s a pre-existing structure that then welcomes and shapes them and directs their actions toward a larger strategic purpose." Hat tip to Edward W. Wagner

As the interviewing of Muslims connected with the Boston bombers should keep in mind the principle of Taqiyya.
Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah
"The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims."

"The future of American journalism depends on the ability to print truth, not opinion."

Koch brothers versus so-called journalism  "Journalism is no longer an ethical profession. It is not a profession at all. It is nothing but a propaganda machine, cutting and pasting whatever they get their hands on to push an agenda, from the right and especially the left. Real, hardcore, skeptical, fact checking journalists are few and far between. There are no real reporters left in journalism today. There are only agenda driven political hacks and fame seeking wannabes. They besmirch the terms journalist and reporter."

The Times itself sees only evil in all this; Koch brothers want to make your newspaper their megaphone   "Having fallen short of their objective of crushing Democrats and liberalism, they now apparently believe a necessary component in their strategy is ownership of a few major newspapers. It is doubtful they want to merely have a voice on the editorial pages, as has always been a publisher’s prerogative. It is far more likely they hope to create print versions of Fox News."
Aided, of course by the sychophantic, Obamaphilic cartoonist David Horsey:

Liberals Freak Out Over Prospect of Koch Brothers Buying the LA Times
"Remember, the LA Times now, two years later, is warning people -- part-timers -- that they may lose their jobs or their compensation because of Obamacare. You know, that's journalistic malpractice. The people at the LA Times should have known that when Obamacare was being debated. The people that read the LA Times, all 25 or 30 of 'em, should have been told that when this thing was being debated. The LA Times let down the readership." Rush Limbaugh

No longer socially acceptable to be a Christian; good for the Body of Christ, but sad for American society

OUTRAGE! High School Track Team disqualified after making religious gesture to God for winning race
"The team was on the way to the State Championships with this win at the Regional. As a team they reached their goals. They deemed this taunting.

"They should be ASHAMED of themselves! That rule needs to be rescinded!
So this is where everything is now. It’s ok to praise a Gay Basketball Player that doesn’t have a team but disqualify a winning track relay team that gives honor to God? ...."

Jason Collins, Tim Tebow and the culture war ...."But hold on. I can't imagine that these politically-correct executives don't fear the wrath of gay activists and their numerous sympathizers. You see, for them, an avowed Christian like Tim Tebow is someone they enjoy kicking to the curb. Not so for the first openly gay NBA athlete. And heaven forbid that a team takes a pass on Collins because they don't think he can play at a professional level anymore, but then some media outlet reports that an executive with said team had voiced opposition to gay marriage or ate at Chick-fil-A!"

 

I believe Tebow was cut because of his qualifications as a quarterback and not because he is a Christian. To think otherwise is to be no better than all the race-baiters who are such a millstone around the necks of our society.

The issue of this post is America's new perspective of what is considered admirable and what is not. TD

 

Off with Broussard’s head! "Faithful America has launched other petitions related to homosexuality: It has targeted the Boy Scouts of America for its “discrimination” against gays and St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church in Oceanside, N.Y., for not allowing an openly gay man continue serving as a church volunteer."

Radicalizing the Military   "Presently, however, they are under threat from within, and one cannot help but notice that our military is being forced, against centuries of American tradition, morals and example, to become a reflection of the left. This appears to be part of the plan to fundamentally transform the United States, and it carries dire consequences for our long-term survival." 

...."Now, the left has targeted religious belief for special attention and examples of overt bigotry within the military have recently come to light. A recent briefing to an Army Reserve unit in Pennsylvania equated Christianity, including Evangelists and Catholics, with terrorist organizations such as Hamas and al Qaeda. The president has also stated that a conscience protection for military chaplains against ceremonies that violate their beliefs is "unnecessary and ill-advised". All must bow to the agenda, you see. It is their god."  Read more.

Clarence Thomas: Obama 'Approved By The Elites' Because He Says What They 'Expect From A Black Person'

MSNBC begins their attack on Justice Thomas in three...two...one...

Fox News 

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ripped the media and took a subtle dig at President Obama during an CSPAN interview dated from April 9th.

"When asked about how he felt about the nation’s first black President, Barack Obama, Thomas said he always knew it would have to be a person who was “approved by the elites and the media” because if it was someone who they didn’t agree with, that person would be picked apart.

" “Any black person who says something that is not the prescribed things that they expect from a black person will be picked apart… So, I always assumed it would be someone the media had to agree with,” Thomas said"

Marathon Was Picked Because Bombs Were Finished Early

Yid With Lid

"They finished early!  That's what sealed the fate of the victim of the Boston Marathon and saved the attendees of  Boston’s famous July Fourth celebration on the Charles River Esplanade. Younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told federal investigators that he and his brother initially planned to detonate explosives at Boston’s Independence Day celebration which includes a Boston Pops concert at the Hatch Shell  and fireworks over the Charles River.
