Obama, the Great Racial Healer

Beltway Confidential: Holder quotes MLK at Sharpton's Trayvon rally    "If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," Holder added. "And, at every step, the facts and the law will guide us forward," he added
Via Weasel Zippers which commented: "In other words, Holder will charge Zimmerman if Florida’s special prosecutor fails to do so"....."Never thought I’d see the day where the U.S. Attorney General would be kissing Al “Punk Faggot” Sharpton’s ring."

No Attention for Daylight Highway Stabbing in Alabama   "Boyd tells me he contacted the crime beat reporter at the Birmingham News and told her about his story. “Not newsworthy,” was her response. Boyd also tells me that law enforcement officials told Boyd they “don’t mess with the Outcasts of Alabama.”  Comforting."

...."It is precarious when the law, and attention from the media, are so out of balance. When state law enforcement officials flinch from prosecutions of the black Outcasts of Alabama, and national media organizations ignore some violence while elevating other incidents to month-long stories, the rule of law suffers."

...."UPDATE:  The Birmingham News now finds the story newsworthy, about 7 hours after PJ Media first published the story, and at least a week after the Birmingham News, didn’t."

Wisconsin town tagged with Trayvon Martin-related vandalism  "On April 3, residents in the 10200 block of Scepter Circle reported that someone had taped a black and white photo of Trayvon Martin, with the word "Revenge" in red, to several mailboxes.
"In a separate incident, a resident in the 10200 block of West St. Martins Road reported two stickers were placed on his mailbox, one with a picture of Trayvon Martin with "Revenge" written in red, the other was a fist that said "Kill Whitey." "

 Dennis Prager:  The Left needs to position America as a racist country to sustain its political success.  "Black Africans know this. That is why so many seek to live in the United States. Decades ago, the number of black Africans who had immigrated to the United States had already surpassed the number of black Africans who were forcibly shipped to America as slaves.

"Members of other races and nationalities know this. Even Muslim and Arab writers have noted that nowhere in the Arab or larger Muslim world does an Arab or any other Muslim have the individual rights, liberty, and dignity that a Muslim living in America has. As for Latinos and Asians, vast numbers of them from El Salvador to Korea regard America as the land of opportunity."

We see the real Obama when he strays from the teleprompter (Which we can see in this picture).

Victor Davis Hanson

"Yet here lies another paradox: His lack of judgment is not evident on the teleprompter, but is only fully illustrated when he is off it and his more extreme ideas are candidly expressed."

...."Obama felt impulsively that he must editorialize that the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords teaches us about the need for civility in public discourse — without much worry that soon those words could come back to haunt him. They surely did when labor leader Jimmy Hoffa Jr., in Obama’s presence, appeared to threaten violence, with the promise, “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.” "

Getting It Right Next Time/ How conservatives can overcome their losing record in Republican presidential primaries.

The American Spectator  "It's a familiar ending. Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain all beat back conservative insurgents to win the Republican nomination. Only the elder Bush went on to win the White House, and then only once. Had New Hampshire independents not swooned for McCain in 2000, George W. Bush would have found himself quelling a conservative insurrection led by Steve Forbes."...

" Santorum had many disadvantages: he was a Northeastern Catholic most popular with Southern evangelicals (with Newt Gingrich still in the race), an ex-senator who hadn't won an election in twelve years, an underfunded candidate who was vulnerable to being outspent 4 or 5-1, the leader of a campaign organization more appropriate for his previous status as an asterisk candidate."

Video: New ad hits Obama on gas prices

Hot Air  "Why not hit President Obama where he’s most vulnerable?  American Crossroads will spend $1.7 million in media buys for its new ad, “Too Much,” which hits Barack Obama on the rapid rise in gas prices, and attacks his claim to have been responsible for increased oil production:"

" “President Obama’s ‘hope and change’ has deteriorated into hype and blame — puffing up his record and blaming others for his policy failures,” said Crossroads GPS President Steven Law. “This ad sets the record straight and calls for real solutions to sky-high gas prices, not more political spin.” "

Vandals Destroy Pro-Israel Billboard Near Albuquerque

Gateway Pundit  "The area is home to “Stop 30 Billion”, a far left anti-Israel group that ran “Israel war crimes” ads last year on buses in Seattle.

"The Free Beacan(sp) reported:

Vandals destroyed a pro-Israel billboard erected outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico early Monday, raising concerns that Israel’s detractors are exacting revenge for an earlier run-in with the area’s pro-Israel community.

Located in an empty field alongside a road in the town of Deming, the sign declared, “Stand with Israel” and urged passersby to sign a pro-Israel pledge sponsored by Christians United for Israel, one of the nation’s largest pro-Israel groups.

Vandals tore the poster apart sometime between Sunday and Monday, according to a police report obtained by the Free Beacon.

Here's that Thomas Sowell quote y'all wanted

Neal Boortz  "So …. I did a little cut-and-paste from Sowell’s column,  and here’s that brilliant thought from yesterday:

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims.  Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it.  Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

NASA rocked by global warming rebellion

Thomas Lifson   "Fifty top astronauts, scientists and engineers at NASA have signed a letter asking the agency to cease its global warming buffoonery. The global warming emperor has no clothes, and people are finally saying so out loud and in public.

"Notrickzone brings us the entire letter, noting that the signers have a combined 1000 years of professional experience. Here it is:"... A portion excerpted here:

The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASA's history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements.

...."The era of refusing to debate and insisting that "the science is settled" is over. Al Gore does not have the guts to debate Lord Monckton because he knows it is all a scam that has made him rich. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee which honored him will never revoke the prize it awarded him."....

Obama and his tax philosophy: Buffett Rule 101

Heritage  "According to a recent analysis by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the Buffett Rule would raise a mere $47 billion over ten years. Meanwhile, President Obama’s budget calls for adding $6.7 trillion to the national debt. That means that the Buffett Rule will only cover one half of one percent of the President’s new spending. Soaking the rich cannot get deficits down, only spending reductions can do that.

"When it comes to the biggest problem America is facing — a weak economy and high unemployment — the Buffett Rule would weaken the economy and make matters worse." 

...".Here’s what you really need to know about Obama’s plan."...

From CNN: Buffett rule is a calculated distraction  "After releasing a non-budget that completely ignored the nation’s near-term, medium-term, and long-term fiscal plight - an extraordinary trifecta not easily achieved - the President then tried to take the House Republicans to task for their proposed real solutions on all three. Nothing highlights irresponsibility like responsible behavior, and so Obama found sharp rhetoric and a frowning visage to be thin gruel when you’ve no policies of your own. Response? Change the subject."...

I'm already sick of the wealth envy campaign by Neal Boortz

After quoting Karl Marx, Boortz writes: "If you need something the government will provide it to you.  If you have more than you need it is the government’s purpose to take it from you and give it to the people who do need it.  Obama’s philosophy is stated in the opening seven words of Marx’ quote."

...."The election needs to be about his failures and the future of freedom in this country … not about “fairness” and the evil rich."

Breitbart: President Obama insisted that the "Buffet Rule" is not some socialist dream."

On the other side of the coin: Being A Muslim - And A Teenager in America

"I've been going to Muslim school once a week for four years at the Islamic Center. They teach us that we should treat all people - Muslims and non-Muslims, with respect. They never teach us that terrorism is a good thing. We start every class by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The protesters were stupid and should have been ashamed of themselves for criticizing a country that protects them more than the country they were from. We're grateful that America gives every immigrant family - including Muslim families like mine limitless opportunities to live successfully in peace and freedom. My mom got so mad at the protesters' attempt to involve her, that she started yelling at the lady leading the protest, and I thought they were going to get into a fight. They were talking so fast in Indonesian that I couldn't even understand what they were saying, but I could tell my mom was standing up for America."  Mily J. Sharko


Posting the earlier articles on what we must fear from Islam in America, I felt the need see what Muslims who love America feel and think. This article by a Muslim teenager seemed good to use and meanwhile I will continue my search for Muslims who support Israel. Still looking.

A rabbi discusses the scattering and regathering of the Jews

This account came to me from friends who live in that part of the world and I have edited out clues as to their whereabouts for their personal safety.

I just want to share an experience I had several years ago when I was visiting Jerusalem during the feast of Sukkot ( Feast of Tabernacles)  with F--------.   We happened to meet a rabbi who was praying by the part of the wall closest to the holy of holies.  Very early on in our conversation I let him know that I believed in Yeshua and he was eager to show us some sites in the Jewish quarters and tell me some of his ideas about the Gospels.   This was a rare moment where I was given some insight as to what the Lord is doing among the Jewish people today.    He took us to stand in the part of the Jewish quarter which looks out at the Mt of Olives.  The Mt of Olives faces the Eastern Gate, the direction which Yeshua will come when he returns.   

The rabbi was eager to discuss where I thought Yeshua was crucified and I explained that I thought it was on the Mt.of Olives because the Mt of Olives  would be facing the holy of holies and when the curtain of the temple was torn open it was like the Father tearing his garments as he looked upon the Son.  Now I'm not saying that I'm right about this or not, so that's not the point of my story.  

Much to my surprise, the rabbi agreed with me and went on to tell me with stunning historical accuracy what would have be happening on the day Yeshua was crucified.   He explained that not only was his crucifixion on an "appointed feast" or a "mo'ed" in the Hebrew, but it would have to be an "appointed place" which is also called a "mo'ed".   He said that it would have had to be a place of importance and also a place that would be very visible to all. The prophet Zechariah's tomb is on the Mt of Olives.  He spoke about all the Jewish customs of those days and why the site could not be far away. He quoted numerous passages from the gospels and then this one from the book of Acts: 

They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. Acts 1:12 

Then the rabbis turned to me and said "and he's coming back here" pointing to the Mt. of Olives.   In my utter amazement I quickly responded:  “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. " from Zechariah 12:10 and  He replied in turn, "Yes, exactly.!"

I asked him a number of questions about how he knew all of this and who he thought Yeshua was .  He told me that I would be surprised to learn what they are discussing in some the yeshivas in Jerusalem. He qualified that by saying, "some of us who are open". When I asked him who Yeshua is he said, "well the whole New Testament is about him".   He would not commit himself further, but this was already enough for me. 

The funny thing was that five minutes before meeting him, I was praying at the wall for the salvation of my people as well as the Muslims on the other side of the wall, and then I received this amazing peek into a window of what is happening in our day.  ....   Jews mainly represent only 2 1/2 of the 12 tribes that all the prophets promised would be restored.   The others are mixed with the nations and look like all different kinds of Gentiles.  The Northern Tribes never returned from Assyrian exile because of their apostasy.  The prophet Hosea, as well as Paul and Peter explain that one day, "those who were not a people, will be a people and God will have compassion on them".   As the gospel reaches to the 4 corners of the earth  the scattered tribes, or lost sheep are hearing their Master's voice along with the nations.  Some  Jews and the others tribes are even in Muslim countries.   One known example of this is the Pashtuns.  There are Cohen's in Morocco who are Muslims.  The young man in my Hebrew class raised in Yemen, who claims his family is "like the Taliban" believes that he has Jewish heritage from his mother's side.  The father's tribe conquered her tribes village, so he might be right.  I have been able to share with him about God's promises to restore "all Israel".   

In the past number of years we have experiences the riches of observing the Lord's "appointed times".  In the book of Genesis, it says that God put the sun and the moon in the sky to designate "signs and seasons".   The word here for signs "oth" means prophetic signs,  seasons is "mo'edim".  Yeshua will return to an appointed place on an appointed time.  Yom T'ruah ( feast of Trumpets) was historically called the feast in which no one knows the day or the hour because it falls on a new moon which requires two witnesses to site.  We know that the sound of the last trumpet will signal the resurrection.  Passover is one of these special appointments that we have where we are able to see the clear connections between celebrating the historical exodus from Egyptian slavery and celebrating the the victory that Yeshua's death and resurrection had over the enemies of sin and death.   Within the feast is the seven day observance where we remove the leaven from our houses and our hearts.  Within the feast there is a waving of the sheath celebrating "first fruits'.   Yeshua is the first fruit of the resurrection and because this we know that we have this same hope and promise.  When we count seven weeks after the the waving of the sheath and we arrive at Shavuot or Pentecost.  On Shavuot Israel received the Torah at Mt. Sinai and on Pentecost the Spirit of God was poured out on the followers of Yeshua who were at Jerusalem to celebrate this pilgrim feast and waiting as they had been instructed by Yeshua.

This lecture is part of a series titled "The Seventy Most Difficult Questions" by Rabbi Elyahu Kin. In this presentation Rabbi Kin expounds on the history of the dispersion of the Tribes of Israel and their whereabouts today. The lecture contains video footage filmed by recent researchers on this topic.

My friend then added this comment to the above story:

I don't agree with all of what he says, but it is interesting to hear the Orthodox perspective on this.   What's very interesting is that they believe in two Messiahs a suffering one and a kingly one, and they say that Messiah ben Yosef the suffering one will save the descendants of the Northern Kingdom (sometimes called Ephraim, House of Israel , etc)  Messiah ben David the victorious King will save Judah.   In a sense they might be right but wrong about the fact that there are 2 different Messiahs.   He's one and the same and as the gospel goes out "the lost sheep" hear his voice along with the nations where they are scattered.

I think the tribes are scattered to the 4 corners of the earth because Scripture says so.   The ingathering will surprise a lot of people when they see how big Israel actually is, both the physical descendants and those who have been grafted in:

Barack Obama and Racial Double Standards

Peter Wehner  "Late last week I heard from a theologian of liberal leanings, someone with whom I have been in (often friendly) correspondence for years. He wrote me to voice his objections to my recent “diatribes” against President Obama. That didn’t particularly surprise me. What did surprise me is how he framed his objections. He didn’t take issue with the facts I’ve presented or even my interpretation of the facts. Rather, his concerns were expressed this way:"...
...."Normal standards of truth, evidence and argument no longer apply. Obama needs to be treated with kid gloves — even if he makes false and malicious charges against others and, in the process, does great damage to our civic and political culture." 
(Emphasis added)


The NY Times breaks its eerie silence on the Trayvon Martin killing with a responsible piece urging people to respect the process and trust the prosecutor.   "So yes, the prosecutor can certainly indict Zimmerman on the basis of probable cause, but since she eventually needs to be ready to bring this to court and meet a "reasonable doubt" threshold, there is no time like the present for her to clear that hurdle in her own mind."

NBC and Editgate  "But the biggest problem for NBC News is that a single unnamed sacrificial scapegoat doesn't begin to pay for the deliberate crime of throwing gasoline on a racial fire that was already raging."


Zimmerman family challenges Holder on New Black Panthers, says no arrests ‘based solely on your race’    
Read the Zimmerman's letter here.  It includes this DOJ definition of a hate crime:

Hate crime is the violence of intolerance and bigotry, intended to hurt and intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious, sexual orientation, or disability. The purveyors of hate use explosives, arson, weapons, vandalism, physical violence, and verbal threats of violence to instill fear in their victims, leaving them vulnerable to more attacks and feeling alienated, helpless, suspicious and fearful. Others may become frustrated and angry if they believe the local government and other groups in the community will not protect them. When perpetrators of hate are not prosecuted as criminals and their acts not publicly condemned, their crimes can weaken even those communities with the healthiest race relations.

Obama's America: Man tells police group yelled ‘Trayvon,' then beat him  "Police are investigating the “racially motivated” beating of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from midtown bars early Saturday when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” before the attack."


Althouse posts this: "Good lord, what an ugly place we are in right now. Who would have thought that in the last year of Obama's presidential term, the public mind would obsess over race at this level? I'm recalling the media coverage of election night, 2008, and the inauguration, when there was a rhapsody of closure and a feeling — some called it "hope" — that we had entered a new era of harmony. How did we get sucked into some nightmare parody of the past? If it's not Obama's fault, can he at least do something to yank us up out of this awful place? In 2009 or even 2011, he would have given a speech. He would have believed he could rescue us with a speech, perhaps because we kind of thought he could. Maybe no one believes anymore. There's a hope vacuum, and look what's moving in."


The legacy of this president is just that; divisions between races, rich and poor, employed vs. unemployed, labor vs. management, unions against governments and demonization of all who disagree with this administration. The damage done by Democrats under Obama will be a long time healing and we must be rid of this man and his allies, despite all threats of race riots if he is not re-elected. TD

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Why won’t Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich quit?

The Washington Times  "Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are as irrelevant now as Ron Paul to the selection of the Republican presidential nomination, and they both know it. They both know that Mitt Romney can start planning his coronation in Tampa."

...."In return Mr. Romney mocked back about a new Obama television commercial: “So the president put out an ad yesterday, talking about gasoline prices and how high they are. And guess who he blamed? Me! Maybe after I’m president I can take responsibility for things I might have done wrong. But this president doesn’t want to take responsibility for his mistakes.”

"This is the exchange of fire and brimstone that speaks volumes, and identifies Mr. Romney as the last obstacle between Mr. Obama and four more years, the prospect that stokes the fire under Republicans. The campaign conversation of insult, invective, jawing and abuse is what Rick andNewt, like all candidates, are desperate to get in and stay in. “Irrelevant” is the most dreaded lick with the rough side of the tongue."
