British War Memorials vandalized by ‘Muslims’ (even though the media will not say so)

barenakedislam.com

"It came as supporters of the English Defence League (below) marched through central London today. The EDL demonstrators pushed their way through a police cordon as they made their way to Trafalgar Square. They chanted ‘Muslim killers off our streets’ and ‘There’s only one Lee Rigby’ and protesters held placards that read ‘Blood on your hands’ and ‘GB RIP’. They are expected to demonstrate outside Downing Street later."

Steve Rose on Obama's Arrogance

American Thinker  "President Obama's arrogance is undoing his presidency," by columnist Steve Rose, appeared on the op-ed page of Sunday's print edition of the Kansas City Star. It's a surprisingly frank assessment from a journalist few would think of as a conservative. Rose focuses his column on the three big scandals now plaguing the Obama administration; here's a taste:
 
What Barack Obama has lacked from the beginning is humility, and what he has displayed consistently is arrogance.
He could have nipped the Benghazi fiasco in the bud, but Obama apparently decided that since only Fox News was beating the drums for the truth, he could finesse the ugly matter. ...

It was sheer arrogance that turned a tragedy into a scandal.
This same arrogance bled into an Internal Revenue Service politically motivated witch hunt on Obama's watch. ...
The Justice Department "spying" on The Associated Press is but another example of this toxic "we know what's best" approach that thrives under Obama.

The aforementioned Steve Rose article:  Barack Obama just had his worst week in a deeply flawed presidency.

"That the IRS would be targeting conservative groups could only germinate in an atmosphere where those conservatives were seen as bitter rivals, sure, but not co-participants in a democratic process. Rather, those opposition voices were seen worthy of being silenced."

Philosophical Aspects of the Climate Change Controversy

Intellectual Conservative  "One might reasonably ask why Al Gore built a mansion on an oceanfront property, considering his dire pronouncements about rising sea levels? "
....
"The nature of the opposition to contemporary progressive environmental movements by some evangelical Christians and other conservatives, is that “environmentalists” seem to espouse philosophies placing emphasis on worshipping and deifying the creation more than the Creator."
....
"We may pass unnecessary legislative measures that irretrievably harm economic and technological development, as well as forfeiting national sovereignty and restraining individual liberties. Consider everything carefully."

Undoing the Brainwashing

Thomas Sowell

 "This time of year, as college students return home for the summer, many parents may notice how many politically correct ideas they have acquired on campus. Some of those parents may wonder how they can undo some of the brainwashing that has become so common in what are supposed to be institutions of higher learning.

....

"If your student has been led to believe that "comprehensive immigration reform" -- amnesty, in plain English -- is the only way to go, a devastating book titled "Mexifornia," by Victor Davis Hanson, introduces some cold, factual reality into a subject usually discussed in sweeping and lofty rhetoric."

....

"However the battle is fought, what is most important is that the battle be fought, since the young are the future, and the propaganda of today can become the government policies of tomorrow."

Ramirez on executive leadership in the White House

 Hot Air  "In this blizzard of scandals, one thread connects all of them — the AP/Rosen scandal, political corruption at the IRS, and Benghazi, at least on the changes made to the talking points.  Barack Obama knew nothing of all them, at least according to the White House’s own defenses.  He had no idea what was happening in his own Treasury, State, and Justice Departments until the media notified him in the morning paper.  Even his White House counsel gets better informed than the President in this administration, according to Jay Carney, which is more than a little disturbing."

God bless our troops and those of our allies this Memorial Day and always

As we honor Americans who died for our nation, let's also remember those allies from the United Kingdom who fought alongside our troops for the past 100 years. I want to pay special tribute to British Soldier Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers  who was a victim of Islamic radicals just as much as if he was killed in the hills of Afghanistan.

How regrettable that his death will come with no honors; just anger and recriminations from his own people and shouts of triumph from our enemies. 

 

God bless all those whose loved ones mourn their loss
