The Buffet Rule and the Obamanomony in pictures
Liberal Columnist: Yeah, the Buffett Rule is Kind of a Joke "That headline isn't exactly a bulletin to Townhall denizens, of course, but it's nice to see the liberal "fairness" crack-up continuing apace. The latest dissenter is Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, who isn't especially impressed with the White House's shameless "gimmickry" on an issue that will accomplish virtually nothing -- in the best case scenario:"

American Thinker: Buffett Rule "If Buffett and President Obama were serious about realizing significant increases in tax revenue from the rich he would advocate eliminating tax free income above predetermined income levels. How do you think that would be received in municipal city halls or state capitols?" ....
A big factor in the November election: race hustlers and anger
How will America ever heal itself of the damage done to our society by this demagogue in the White House and his minions across the country? We can vote him out, but the scars he leaves will last. TD
Walter E. Williams: Media Dishonesty and Race Hustlers "Have we heard Obama make a statement about this carnage or that most homicide victims are black and that their murderers are black? No, and we won't, because black-on-black crime, like black-on-white crime, does not fit the liberal narrative of the continuing problem of white racism."
Star Parker: Republican Challenge With Blacks and Hispanics "Seventy two percent of black babies and 53 percent of Hispanic babies are now born out of wedlock. Yet both blacks and Hispanics attend church more frequently than the national average.
"Efforts must be expended to reach black and Hispanic clergy and community leaders to raise awareness how big government and moral relativism six days a week overwhelms the message heard from the pulpit on Sunday.
Although many blacks are jumping ship on Obama, too many continue to support this tragic presidency. Why? Because so called black leaders continue to prop Obama up by stirring racial and social hatred; continuing their appeal to the victim status for blacks. No one does it better, today, than the good ole Rev. Al Sharpton. If Obama should win re-election he will have Al and poorly informed blacks to thank. The irony of it all is that if Obama gains re-election, blacks will then and perhaps only then, discover how they’ve been used and abused by this administration and its minions like Sharpton.

"Single parent homes are a ticket to poverty. This is a message that can save our country."
After giving us the above introduction to Sharpton, BQI includes these words from Lloyd Marcus:
Victor Davis Hanson: Campaigning on Grievances "If Obama can cobble together disaffected young people, greens, women, minorities, and the poor — who all believe some nefarious “they” have crushed their dreams — then massive debt and deficits, high unemployment, sluggish growth, and spiraling gas prices won’t decide the election.
(Emphasis added.)
Arrogantly usurping authority to speak on behalf of black America, the left has yelled, Give us Al Sharpton! Why has MSNBC, the mainstream media and president Obama appointed this despicable man spokesperson for black America? There are numerous honorable blacks in the national arena.Sharpton was selected by the left as black America’s mouthpiece because his political agenda is in solidarity with their hate America Progressive movement....

"But the problem with an us/them strategy is not just winning an election, but trying to put back together what was torn asunder."
(Emphasis added.)

George Zimmerman charged
If you saw the smiling face on special prosecutor Angela Corey as she announced Zimmerman's being charged, you would not hold out much hope for him. She appeared positively gleeful, I suppose because she has pleased those who made the most violent threats about revenge in the streets. I'm sure Rodney King came to her mind. TD
Thomas Lifson: George Zimmerman to be charged with second degree murder "The case now will become another "trial of the century" in the media, but will ultimastely be decided by a jury based on the evidence. If, that is, the jury pool has not already been poisoned by media malpractice."
Hot Air: Zimmerman arrested, charged with 2nd-degree murder "Manslaughter would have been another option, so it’s interesting that she went with murder two. I assume that this means the prosecution believes they can prove that Zimmerman pursued Martin and shot him, but we’ll know more when the preliminary hearing comes."
Legal Insurrection: Special Prosecutor Press Conference ""I saw on Twitter that the Martin family held a press conference with Al Sharpton by their side, but I didn’t get to see it. Although Zimmerman now is charged, and the case is in the courts, I expect the Martin family attorneys, Sharpton, and others continue to work the case in the media from a racial angle and to inflame passions in the community as a means of tainting the jury pool.
"For the prosecutor to embrace the Martin family attorneys with thanks at the press conference, and for AG Eric Holder verbally to praise Sharpton today, tells me that a case which should be about facts of who did what to whom is going to turn into an even bigger racial narrative for a variety of purposes which have nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the accused.""
RACE WAR! Democrat La Raza President: Blacks, Hispanics Should Team Up ‘To Attack Common Enemies’ "Al Sharpton Show Promotes Race War– La Raza President Janet Murguia used Wednesday’s Al Sharpton radio show to spew the latest round of racial hatred. Murgola called on blacks and Hispanics to team up against the common enemy (whitey).
It’s more of that hope-and-change we were promised."
Black Quill and Ink looks at one of the roots of the reaction to Zimmerman.
Meanwhile, those whom the prosecutor is so happy to have pleased hold others in terror: Elderly Couple In Fear Over Spike Lee Tweet.

From the comments to the above post:
From Sweetness and Light: Democrats ‘Celebrate’ Zimmerman Charges "Lest we forget, Mr. Rush was the ‘Secretary Of Defense’ for the first Black Panthers. Who, in fact, regularly killed people because of the color of their skin."From LaRaza’s perspective, the enemy would be all non-socialists and non-communists. LaRaza is like NOW — they will only defend Far Left folk. Their absence in the Zimmerman case clearly demonstrates this.

Ann Coulter: Fighting the last war
Ann Coulter "For the first time, the last cycle's conservative has been rebranded a "liberal" by right-wingers eager to resume their battle against liberal Republicans. This year's actual liberal Republican, much admired by the Non-Fox Media, was Jon Huntsman. But he dropped out after the New Hampshire primary.
"Mitt Romney isn't a liberal. He isn't even a moderate. And he certainly isn't liked by the Times."
....
"John McCain was worshipped by the liberal media, was the author of the unconstitutional campaign finance law and a global warming bill, adamantly supported amnesty for illegal aliens, opposed the Bush tax cuts as "tax cuts for the rich," wanted to shut down Guantanamo, called waterboarding "torture" and viciously attacked Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson as "agents of intolerance" (and then immediately faxed that speech to The New York Times).
"And he was from a conservative state! Where were you people four years ago when we were running him?"

An Open Letter to President Obama
"The proper role of government is to provide equal opportunity, not preferential treatment. In America, each of us is paid a compromise between what we want and what someone is willing to pay. Those millions of decisions add up to what we call the private-enterprise system."

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."
More here: Police to White Victim: We 'Don't Mess' with Black Gang "...Second, Eric Holder's DOJ won't be getting involved like it has in the Trayvon Martin Case. And, lastly, we can be sure that Barack Obama won't get on his soapbox and accuse the Adamsville police of acting stupidly."
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." "
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."
Britt Hume commented on Santorum in Tuesday's Fox News Special Report
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
“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.
