Remember how we mocked and ridiculed Democrats? Now it is wise to fear this party.

"Thank you Israel.  Thank you for doing what today's Democrats won't do."

Bibi does what Dems don't have the courage to do

"It was great to see it on the news:   

Israeli officials have decided to block U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from entering the country as part of a planned visit, a reversal that comes amid pressure from President Trump and concerns about their support for boycotts of Israel.

The country's deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely announced the decision Thursday, despite prior assurances that the congresswomen would be allowed in.  

"Israel has decided -- we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Hotovely told public broadcaster Kan. "We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision." 

"Wow, Israel just made my day!" . . .

For example, the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Also, referring to Israel as "Nazi Germany," an insult of the worst kind to a people who have direct connections to the Holocaust.

 Tlaib and Omar: Ineligible to hold public office in America  "Congressional representative Rashida Tlaib and congressional representative Ilhan Omar are ineligible to serve as congressional representatives, according to American law.  But they enjoy the support of every member of Congress, from both sides of the aisle.

"No one may hold any public office in America who does not honestly and without reservation swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.  That is the law, which is being ignored by virtually everyone in authority in every branch of government." . . .

Banning Omar and Tlaib May Help Trump, but It Hurts Israel
"As odious as the far-left congresswomen are, denying them entry will hurt the Jewish state far more than their visit would have."

. . . "Omar and Tlaib were scheduled to conduct their own tour of the country beginning on Friday that would, in contrast to the visit of Hoyer’s group, highlight Palestinian grievances and bash Israel. But their trip was canceled Thursday morning when, only an hour after President Donald Trump tweeted that he thought it would “show great weakness” for Israel to let them visit, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government announced that they would be denied entry into the country." . . .

The REAL Reasons Israel Barred Reps Omar And Tlaib (It Wasn’t Trump)

. . . "President Trump lobbied hard for Israel to ban the two members of Congress. However,  his urging had little to do with the decision to bar Reps Omar And Tlaib. Despite the pressure, two weeks ago, US Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer made it clear that Israel would allow the two inside Israel. His tweet on Thursday morning was made after Israel decided to stop the two from entering Israel.

"The change in the Israeli position was made when the government saw the Omar/Tlaib trip itinerary. Their trip schedule made it clear they would be spending their entire trip in Judea, Samaria, and  East Jerusalem and was intended to provoke hatred of the Jewish State and advance their BDS agenda." . . .

The Spectator’s Superb Article on Political Correctness

Rich Terrell

Sarah Watching  Rarely will you find a better-written piece on political correctness than The Spectator’s Ed West article called “Is Political Correctness Speeding Up?”

"I would love to post it all here–but The Spectator is subscription-based, though you can read 3 articles for free.

"West says “…though [political correctnes] is an imperfect phrase, because it applies both to a code of politeness (much of which I agree with) and also a method of enforcing orthodoxy. Unfortunately, it is the former, especially the stupider and more mundane examples, which attracts most attention, when in reality it is the latter which has far more impact.”

“Enforcing orthodoxy,” Is that great phrasing or what? With its enduring religious connotations “orthodoxy” refers to one group’s beliefs—and don’t doubt that liberalism serves the purpose of religion for modern liberals. “Enforcing” captures the true purpose of political correctness which is to enforce silence of the opposition.

Silence The Opposition?
"By making someone believe that it is not polite to point out, for instance, that “most terrorists are Muslims” is silencing those who dare speak truth regarding this world atrocity. Barack Obama, who attempted to fundamentally change the United States–for the worst–is infamous for 1) refusing to call Islamic terror, Islamic terror, 2) lying to American citizens about an Islamic attack at Ft. Hood, instead referring to it as “workplace violence,” 3) from his bully platform, severely criticizing anyone who raised a red flag against unvetted Muslim refugees being allowed into the United States." . . .

We Face the Threat to Our Culture Right Now, Not in the Future. . . "Now, look, folks. I know this is… I want to be very clear here. I am not obsessed or possessed here of fatalism or negativism. I just read something that triggered me, when I read the line (paraphrased), “If this stuff ever becomes mainstream, then we’re gonna have problems.” I’ve been frustrated for so long that so many haven’t seen what’s coming, that haven’t seen what was in front of our faces and has been on the way to getting us to this point. It needn’t have happened, but it did, because nobody has ever stood up and told basically a bunch of kids to shut up and grow up, or to sit down and grow up.

"Instead, we’ve been bending over backwards with political correctness. We haven’t wanted to hurt anybody’s feelings and so forth. We’ve allowed these renegades to totally just destroy the public education system, not to mention much of higher education at the university level and so forth. We’re dangerously closer to this. But it’s interesting. We’ve got a guy. One of the guys waiting to speak on the phone thinks that I’m a little overwrought, that the Nike thing is actually one of the best things that could ever happen in terms of reelecting Trump. Now, we had somebody make this point yesterday in a different way." . . .
