Baltimore and Obama

Mark Levin: U.S. Gives Terrorists More Consideration Than Cops  . . . "He went on to assert that the officers are “being railroaded,” noting that they are not even receiving the same legal protection America affords terror suspects.
“How can it be,” he wondered, “that terrorists in Guantanamo Bay have more due process rights … that they are treated one way and police officers another?”
He concluded that America as a nation is increasingly hostile toward the law enforcement community, suggesting many hold police to a higher standard than others in society.
“Well, law enforcement isn’t perfect,” he acknowledged. “Reporters aren’t perfect. Obama’s not perfect. That’s not the test. The fact of the matter is if we lose order, we lose liberty and we lose the society.”

J. Christian Adams; Dreams Into Dust: The Speech on Race Obama Will Never Give
. . . " Imagine how different race relations would be in this country today if, starting in January 2009, President Obama used his office to better the black community and race relations. What a difference this could have made in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, where racially motivated violence has set cities ablaze." .
 . .

Instead Obama was mentored by this man who has influenced today's Justice Department through him:

Baltimore Indicts the Welfare State  . . . " What are those problems?  Well, chief among them might be that hordes of black mobs regularly erupt in frenzies of thievery, arson, and violence in a pack-mentality response to perceived injustices and without knowledge or consideration of facts.  But that’s just the symptom, the president suggests, of the “root causes of the tension in urban areas.' ” . . .

. . . "It can be expected that Baltimore having been under uninterrupted Democrat control since 1967 will not stop Barack Obama and the bleating sheep like Baltimore’s current mayor (who suggests that the wealth just hasn’t been spread around properly yet) from demanding that more and more government redistribution."

 Victor Davis Hanson;Decoding the Rules of Baltimore

 For the left, rioting is an effective political tool.

 

. . . "Certainly, identification largely by racial affinity is a dangerous thing to do in America, because such solidarity only breeds solidarity in others that may be more numerous and growing just as angry. Vocal and ubiquitous talk of white supremacy as the mother lode of all racial unhappiness does not sell well outside the New York television studio — especially among the lower middle classes and poor who are not black and do not feel themselves particularly privileged at the expense of blacks.
"A year from now, an out-of-the-news Baltimore will be a little poorer, smaller, and less frequented."

From 2011!10 Signs That Economic Riots And Civil Unrest Inside The United States Are Now More Likely Than Ever . . . " The sad thing is that these riots accomplish absolutely nothing.  The recent London riots did not create any jobs and they certainly did not solve any economic problems.  Instead, they actually hurt the economy even more because a huge amount of property was destroyed and people are even more afraid to continue with business as usual." . . .

Pamela Geller: Heroine or Hateful Islamophobe? UPDATED

UPDATE:  Muslim cleric: Pam Geller should be tried by Sharia court and killed

. . . " 'And now this woman was to draw cartoons or have people draw cartoons to insult the prophet knowing full well that this carries the death penalty in Islam," he added. "She should be put before Shariah court and tried and of course she would face capitol punishment."
"The discussion also covered a death fatwa placed against Geller. When she said that ISIS used the term "khanzeer," or "Jewish pig," Choudary said the term was too good to be used on her. "Khanzeer," Geller noted, is the same term Muhammad used before beheading thousands of Jews." . . .

Jewish World Review 

 

 . . . "It was very disappointing to read comments from those who should know better that Geller's contest was pointless and meant nothing. Au contraire, Mon ami-it exposed two of ISIS' suicidal cell dwellers that fortunately were put down Texas-style before they could slaughter the sold-out crowd attending. We can't depend on this administration, the FBI or Homeland Security to protect us from ISIS and jihadists attacks. The FBI had one of the shooters under surveillance for years and sent out a memo concerning the Muhammad art contest that ruled out a likely attack on U.S. soil. Not surprising since the Obama administration has bent over backwards to make sure these agencies receive sensitive training to respect Islam. " 

"Meanwhile Christians are being slaughtered all over the world and the media is silent. I'll tell you what hate speech is. It is the Ayatollah Khameini of Iran, presently in nuke talks with Obama, telling a crowd in Iran, "Of course yes, death to America."

 The New York Times LOVES Blasphemy… Except When It Targets Muslims 

 “Some of those who draw cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad may earnestly believe that they are striking a blow for freedom of expression, though it is hard to see how that goal is advanced by inflicting deliberate anguish on millions of devout Muslims who have nothing to do with terrorism,” the Times editorial reads. “As for the Garland event, to pretend that it was motivated by anything other than hate is simply hogwash.”

 In Defense of Pamela Geller

Should we condemn these African-Americans for provoking the police?

 

 . . . "Just two months ago President Obama and former President Bush joined together in Selma, Alabama, to celebrate the work of “provocateurs” who knew — and were warned — not to march across Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge in support of black voting rights in 1965. As history records, Selma’s Sheriff Jim Clark faced the protesters at the head of a collection of billy-club wielding, horseback-riding troopers and used a bull horn to warn that the protesters “are ordered” to return to their homes or churches. Thus warned — quite specifically warned — that they were in danger of provoking violence, the marchers refused to turn back and kept coming. At Clark’s signal the troopers launched — and so ruthlessly inflicted violent beatings on the protesters that the event became known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Did this man's being gay provoke his killers?

. . .

"Where does this stop? Just as Islam forbids images of The Prophet, so too does it forbid homosexuality. If Americans are not supposed to “provoke” Muslims by doing something that offends their religion, does this mean the push that is on now for gay marriage should come to a screeching halt? Should the Supreme Court make gay marriage illegal because to recognize gay marriage would deliberately provoke Muslims across America and around the world? Indeed, isn’t an American approval of any gay “right” a deliberate provocation of Muslim sensibilities?" Read more here

No, Calling the Baltimore Rioters ‘Thugs’ Does Not Make You a Racist

NRO

"The mayor of Baltimore, who will spend the rest of her days living light-years from the word “Churchillian,” recently apologized for two gaffes. First, she walked back her statement that she gave rioters space to “destroy.” That’s not what she meant, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said.

" It sure sounded like it to me, and the facts on the ground seemed to line up with the rhetoric (this new video of Baltimore cops fleeing rioters is pretty compelling). 

"But fair enough. People often say things clumsily in stressful situations. But then the mayor apologized for calling the destroyers “thugs.” 

“There are no thugs in Baltimore,” she added. “Sometimes my own little anger translator gets the best of me.” 

"Really, there are no thugs in Baltimore? It’s a thug-free zone?"   Jonah Goldberg

Criminalizing reasonable police work  "An incompetent prosecutor — or worse, a politically driven prosecutor who also happens to be incompetent — can do worse things than blow an important case. The more one scrutinizes the case against six Baltimore police officers said to be implicated in the death of Freddie Gray, the more one worries that the prosecution will cost lives.

Andy McCarthy

" And most importantly, they shouldn't be called "thugs" because it might be code for the dreaded n-word. 
. . . " Which, frankly, we consider to be an n-sult to our n-telligence." . . .

Hillary Clinton: our gift from the American Left

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Ever the Political Pragmatist, Bill Clinton Willing to Sell Out His Presidency for Hillary’s    "Former President Bill Clinton acknowledged on Wednesday that an anti-crime crackdown he pushed in 1994 went too far, and said he now supports his wife Hillary’s plans to reverse some of those justice policies.

"Bill Clinton signed into law a crime bill that imposed tougher sentences, put thousands of more police on the streets and helped fund the building of extra prisons.

"But the era of mass incarceration is now being questioned because of the continuing high proportion of Americans – especially black males – who are in prison.

"The anti-crime legislation was known for its federal “three strikes” provision that sent violent offenders to prison for life. The bill was backed by congressional Republicans and hailed at the time as a success for Clinton.

"But the former president told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that it was imperfect."  Stephen Kruiser

A Mother's Day gift from Hillary  "Still searching for that perfect gift for mom for Mother's Day?  Well, do I have one for you!  A former First Mom and now a wannabe First Grandmother, Hillary Clinton herself is willing to call your mom on her special day to wish her the best.  And no, she won't charge her standard $300,000 speaking fee; she--or her campaign--just wants your name, phone number and e mail address for a chance to win "a Mother's Day call from Hillary"," "a Mother's Day gift to remember." 

 A Mother’s Day call from Hillary?

 

Hillary Clinton’s betting that America is moving left  ..."Hillary Clinton is doing the country a great service.
 "By making it clear she is going to run for president as an unapologetic left-liberal — with emphasis on the “left” — she has made sure that the 2016 election will be exactly the referendum on America’s future it ought to be." . . .John Podhoretz

Hillary Email Scandal Not Going Away "Too bad Hillary destroyed all those, ahem, exonerating emails."
 . . . "Hillary Clinton still has one thing going for her. She’s not a Republican.
"As we all know, she would already be finished if she was."
