Casey Anthony: Must Everything Be About Race?

Lloyd Marcus  "There is a lot of chatter claiming the massive media coverage and public interest in the Casey Anthony case confirms America is racist. They say if Casey and her daughter were black, no one would care. They claim the story is popular because the missing child is white and cute.
"I say, "Hogwash!"
"Some blacks have a "black eternal victim chip" on their shoulder while others (liberals) relish every opportunity to dump on America and her good, decent, compassionate and extremely generous people."
Lloyd Marcus, Proud Unhyphenated American; Vice Chair, www.CampaignToDefeatObama.com 

Casey Anthony found not guilty; TV talking heads found guilty  Matt Drudge used the graphic at right:

"The case became an obsession of cable news, and many talking heads, pre-eminently Nancy Grace (whose ratings soared during the trial), now look foolish. They were slammed by the defense team after the verdict:"...

Even if it is 'likely' or 'probable' that she committed the murder, she must be acquitted. The standard is proof beyond a reasonable doubt..  ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ

This is What a Casey Anthony Juror Sounds Like  "So if someone’s friends think she’s a good mom, that’s good enough for this guy. The fact that her daughter disappeared and she said nothing doesn’t change his opinion one little bit. What a complete moron."

You Stay Classy, Casey Anthony Defense Attorney!   "Casey Anthony Defense Attorney Gives Reporters The Finger"

Injustice  "The Casey Anthony verdict didn’t deliver justice for little Caylee. But it did give America some insight into the kind of family dysfunction and parental enabling that produces a mother like Casey: one who could move in with her boyfriend, enter a bikini contest, and get a “Bella Vita” tattoo during the time her little girl’s body was decomposing in a swamp near the family home."

The Philosophies of Illegal Immigration

Victor Davis Hanson  "Where does all this leave us? A mess of alligators and moats, poor children being arrested on their way to ice cream, wise Latinas, ethical lectures from the Mexican president on the White House lawn, and America as a foreign team in the Rose Bowl. The former liberals have now become the most illiberal sorts; a movement that targeted racism is now itself race-based, as La Raza has sought to resurrect the once discredited notion of Volk — a people to be defined not by ideas or values, but by how they look.
"God help us all."

Obama’s Twitter townhall: A win-win for the White House

Post Politics  "In the 2008 election, voters aged 18-29 comprised 18 percent of the overall electorate and voted for Obama over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by a 66 percent to 32 percent margin.
"In the 2010 midterms, voters 29 and under made up just 12 percent of the electorate and went for Democrats by a much slimmer 13-point margin — one of several factors in the GOP wave that swept the country.
"For Obama to win re-election next fall, he needs to replicate (or come close to replicating) his 2008 showing among young voters."


Obama’s Twitter Town Hall: Questions in 140 Characters or Less  "Users of the social networking service can post questions for Obama before and during the event, which starts at 2 p.m. Washington time. Questions should fit Twitter’s 140-character limit and include the hashtag #askObama.
"Representatives of San Francisco-based Twitter Inc. will determine which questions to pose to the president, White House director of digital strategy Macon Phillips and communications director Dan Pfeiffer said during a conference call yesterday."

And here's one from former congressman Anthony Weiner that, oh, my......please, no more photos.

Obama’s [Ineptness] as President Might Save Him

Have we evolved as a nation past the need for a competent president?  "...back in 1980, the fact that Jimmy Carter was a terrible, awful president was by far the biggest issue of the election. Any suggestion that his opponent was a right-wing extremist was outweighed by the fact that Carter clearly had no idea what he was doing as commander-in-chief and people felt it was best he move on to an occupation like building houses, where he was less likely to cause major harm.
"Many expect the 2012 election to play out similarly, as Obama has failed in ways that rival even Carter’s failures." (Emphasis added)  ....
"Still, perhaps 2012 will play out like elections in the past, and Obama will be unceremoniously dumped for being less than useless. But then again, maybe we really have changed in our expectation of whether a president should have basic competency. If Republicans base their campaign around “Obama is horrible, and our guy will actually know what he’s doing,” they may be making an argument voters just don’t care about anymore."

Boortz Rant: Is the American Dream dead?  "[Barack Obama's] father was a Communist. His mother was a Communist, and when his father disappeared from his life, his mother took on a lover who was a Communist. He hung out with Communists in college. He gravitated toward Communist professors in college. And now he is president of the United States?

"This is a man who, when he decided that he was going to finally enter the political realm, decided that he would make that announcement in the home of two dedicated Communist revolutionaries: Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. Everything about this man -- from his childhood, through college and his entry into politics -- everything about him is infused in Marxism and anti-capitalism and a hatred for the private sector and free enterprise and a love of government."

California Dreamin’ of Secession

The Volokh Conspiracy  "Ironically, the Constitution is far more clear about making it hard for territories to secede from a state than about the secession of states from the Union, a subject on which it is conspicuously silent. No successful secession from a state has occurred since West Virginia broke off from Virginia during the Civil War. And that secession may have violated the Constitution, since the Virginia legislature did not consent to it at the time."

Californiality.com  "The State of South California is being proposed by Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, with 13 counties seceding from California to form America's 52nd state.

"The proposed 51st state, of course, being the already proposed State of Jefferson in Northern California."
....
"Los Angeles County, Ventura County and Santa Barbara County, which are currently part of what is known as "Southern California", would NOT be included in the State of South California.
"Apparently, the counties with the most fame, wealth, power, influence and Botox are not welcome in America's 52nd state."

Obama’s Declaration of Dependence; The self-reliant citizenry is history.

Mark Steyn   "Charles Krauthammer did the math. If you eliminate the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Corporate Jet Tax Break, you would save so much dough that, after 5,000 years, you would have clawed back enough money to cover one year of Obama’s debt. Five thousand years is the year 7011. Boy, our kids’ll really be safe by then. I see some leftie at MSNBC has just been suspended for characterizing the president’s performance on Wednesday as that of a demotic synonym for the male reproductive organ. So I shall be more circumspect and say only that even being a hollow unprincipled demagogue requires a certain lightness of touch Obama can’t seem to find."  And polls still show that people "like President Obama". Who are these people anyway?

Taqiyya and Kitman: The role of Deception in Islamic Terrorism

Daniel Pipes  "According to Christian ethics lying is a sin; In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the use of taqiyya against the unbelievers is regarded as a virtue and a religious duty.
"Like many Islamic concepts taqiyya and kitman were formed within the context of the Arab-Islamic matrix of tribalism, expansionary warfare and conflict. Taqiyya has been used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse and split 'the enemy'. A favored tactic was ‘deceptive triangulation'; to persuade the enemy that jihad was not aimed at them but at another enemy. Another tactic was to deny that there was jihad at all. The fate for such faulty assessments by the target was death."

Are Muslims permitted to lie?  Taqiyya - Saying something that isn't true.
Kitman - Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills "it shall be as if he had killed all mankind") while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of "corruption" and "mischief." ....
"Leaders in the Arab world routinely say one thing to English-speaking audiences and then something entirely different to their own people in Arabic. Yassir Arafat was famous for telling Western newspapers about his desire for peace with Israel, then turning right around and whipping Palestinians into a hateful and violent frenzy against Jews."

DISGUSTING: Obama Recognizes Muslim Brotherhood – Parent of Al-Qaeda, HAMAS

Debbie Schlussel  "At this point, it’s well beyond solidified that any Republican (except Ron Paul) will be a better President. ANY. All. This guy MUST. GO. If Sarah Palin were the nominee, I would even vote for her. This guy is unAmerican. It’s not American to recognize any Islamic terrorist group bent on the West’s destruction. This isn’t about Israel. It’s about the long-term survival of the West. Period. And Barack Obama is a soldier for the other side."

U.S. recognizes Muslim Brotherhood 

"The U.S. has decided to formally resume contact with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood group - which does not recognize Israel – in a move that could further alienate some Jewish voters already skeptical of President Barack Obama, it was reported."

Afghanistan: Muslims behead convert from Islam to Christianity, warn other converts of "dire consequences" for leaving Islam 
"In the video, Latif can be seen struggling with his captors from the ground while one of the militants thrust a medium-sized blade in the side of his neck. The men then began shouting "Allahu Akhbar," or "God is great," until Latif is fully beheaded and his head placed upon his chest...."

Statue of Reagan Is Unveiled in London

NY Times Europe  "The statue of a smiling Reagan, dressed in a crisp suit, was paid for by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation as part of a worldwide effort to promote his legacy, according to the organization’s executive director. Similar events have been held in the last few days in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary." ....

"In a speech, Mr. McCarthy described Mr. Reagan’s fight not only against the forces of Communism, but against the “tyranny” of debt and big government. He and Mrs. Thatcher, he said, “did not move to the center to gather votes, they moved the center to them.” "

Daniel Hannan: Ronald Reagan: Britain's finest friend, America's finest president  "Every president from Theodore Roosevelt to George W Bush has been, in practical terms, pro-British: Barack Obama is the exception. No, what sets him apart is the magnitude of his achievement. At home, he reversed the disastrous decline of conservatism and began the work of constraining government. Abroad, as the inscription on his statue puts it, he won the Cold War without firing a shot."    Daniel Hannan is a writer and journalist, and has been Conservative MEP for South East England since 1999. He speaks French and Spanish and loves Europe, but believes that the European Union is making its constituent nations poorer, less democratic and less free.

From the UK Telegraph  "Mr Reagan's great political ally and friend, former prime minister Baroness Thatcher, was not able to attend due to her physical frailty, so Mr Hague paid tribute to the former President on her behalf: "Ronald Reagan was a great President and a great man. A true leader for our times. It was a pleasure to be his colleague and his friend and I hope that this statue will be a reminder to future generations of the debt we owe him," he said."
We look forward with anticipation to the erection of a statue of Barack Obama in the Luton district of London.

Who is this man?
