Obama’s attention deficit diplomacy

The Financial Times  ... "Saudi Arabia continues to drift away from the US, which it believes is abdicating its leadership in the Middle East. India feels no obligation to support the US on the biggest issues – last month New Delhi defended Mr Putin’s right to amputate Crimea. Turkey, like the Gulf, is disgusted with Washington’s halfhearted response to Syria. And Pakistan, like Afghanistan, which held its first round of presidential voting at the weekend, is finding it increasingly easy to ignore Washington’s admonitions. Meanwhile, Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff cancelled her country’s first state visit to the US in 20 years in October in protest at the National Security Agency scandal. It is doubtful whether Germany’s Angela Merkel would accept such an invitation even it if were on offer.

"Some of this can be blamed on Mr Obama’s attention deficit diplomacy. In his Brussels speech, he made no mention of the NSA scandal, even though that is behind much of Europe’s mistrust. And his efforts to put fresh momentum behind the TTIP were nominal at best. One senior European diplomat described Mr Obama’s private comments on the trade deal as “passive aggressive”. It is striking how often European officials speak warmly of George W Bush’s personal style, even though his pugilism was widely disdained. On the world stage, as in Washington, Mr Obama is reluctant to reach out beyond his narrow coterie of trusted advisers."

CAIR’s Jihad against Honor Diaries; The “civil rights” group hides Islam’s denial of civil rights to Muslim women.

 

Former Muslim who produced "Honor Diaries".

Andrew C. McCarthy   "The purpose of Honor Diaries is to empower women by shining a light on the hardships they endure — including “honor” killings (i.e., murders over the perception of having brought shame to the family by violating Islamic norms), beatings, genital mutilation, forced marriage — particularly of young girls – and restrictions on movement, education, and economic opportunity. The film highlights authentic Muslim moderates struggling against the dead-end of Islamic supremacism.

"So naturally, the Council on American–Islam Relations (CAIR) does not want you to see it.

"At Fox News, Megyn Kelly has been covering the film anyway, despite CAIR’s howling. The segments that aired on Monday and Tuesday are available on Megyn’s website, here and here.

"CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood creation, conceived as the primo American public-relations firm for Islamic supremacists, particularly Hamas — a task CAIR pulls off by masquerading as a “civil rights” organization.
....
"Although Honor Diaries has been widely acclaimed and screened internationally, CAIR has been agitating against it. As reliably happens when CAIR plays its tired “Islamophobia” card, universities across the nation cower — especially universities with active Muslim Students Association chapters. (As we’ve observed before, the MSA is the foundation of the Muslim
"Brotherhood’s infrastructure in the United States.) Starting with the University of Michigan at Dearborn, several schools have now decided not to screen the film after all.

'Why it is “Islamophobic” to condemn violence and abuse against Muslim women is not entirely clear to me." ...
 

The Liberal Gulag; The Brendan Eich case brings out the nature of liberal fascism.

Kevin D. Williamson at NRO   ... "The word “liberal” has taken a beating over the last few days: A Mozilla executive was hounded out of his position at the firm he co-founded by a coalition of IRS criminals and left-wing campaigners resolved to punish him for having made a donation to a successful California ballot initiative that defined marriage in traditional terms; Adam Weinstein, whose downwardly mobile credibility has taken him from ABC to Gawker, called for literally imprisoning people with the wrong views about global warming, writing, “Those malcontents must be punished and stopped”; Mr. Weinstein himself was simply forwarding a dumbed-down-enough-for-Gawker version of the arguments of philosophy professor Lawrence Torcello; Katherine Timpf, a reporter for Campus Reform, faced a human barricade to keep her from asking questions of those attending a feminist leadership conference, whose organizers informed her that the group was “inclusive” and therefore she was “not welcome here...Lois Lerner, the Left’s best friend at the IRS, faces contempt charges related to her role in the Democrats’ coopting the IRS as a weapon against their political enemies; Harry Reid, a liberal champion of campaign-finance reform, was caught ..."

Alan Caruba: The Methane Hoax Cranks Up

Watch your back, Mr. Caruba; the envirocops will be coming for you. If you currently work for Mozilla, apologize and turn in your resignation now because of this article; it will not be tolerated and you should be interned in a camp. TD

Warning Signs

 

... "The carbon dioxide hoax fell apart in the wake of a cooling cycle affecting the Earth that began around 1997 and continues to this day. Warming and cooling cycles are natural events and both are tied to the activity or lack of it of the Sun.  Humans have nothing to do with the climate other to enjoy or endure it.

"Why methane? It has a lot to do with the development of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called “fracking”, and the way it unlocks natural gas, aka methane, all of which portends an America that is energy independent, along with its huge reserves of coal and oil. If, of course, the government permits this to occur." ...
