Letters to a Young Progressive

Mike Adams' next book, Letters to a Young Progressive, will be published in April of 2013. He plans to spend the profits on new guns made by Browning and old guitars made by Fender.

....After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Mike Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. He has since made appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Glenn Beck. His column on TownHall.com has earned him countless hate mails - often from radical feminists who hate males

"Make no mistake about it, though: I'm glad to have written two hard-hitting books on life in the academy. The first was needed to expose the intellectual shallowness of the campus diversity movement. Another book was needed to chronicle the absurdity of campus feminism. But my latest book is written from the heart.
"I see kids going off to college and losing their faith every year. I also see them adopting radical political positions soon after enrolling in college. I understand what they are going through because I went through the same thing thirty years ago. I abandoned my faith my very first semester in college. Later on, I embraced left wing politics that only made sense in conjunction with a secular worldview. But circumstances and, ultimately, Providence turned that all around. "

 

THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, IT'S LEGAL IMMIGRATION, TOO

http://wpcomics.washingtonpost.com/client/wpc/po/2013/04/22/

Ann Coulter  "...Sen. Lindsey Graham's response to the Boston Marathon bombers being worthless immigrants who hate America -- one of whom the FBI cleared even after being tipped off by Russia -- was to announce: "The fact that we could not track him has to be fixed."

"Track him? How about not admitting him as an immigrant?

"As if it's a defense, we're told Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (of the Back Bay Tsarnaevs) were disaffected "losers" -- the word used by their own uncle -- who couldn't make it in America. Their father had already returned to Russia. Tamerlan had dropped out of college, been arrested for domestic violence and said he had no American friends. Dzhokhar was failing most of his college courses. All of them were on welfare.

"(Dzhokhar was given everything America had to offer, and now he only has one thing in his future to look forward to ... a tenured professorship.)

"My thought is, maybe we should consider admitting immigrants who can succeed in America, rather than deadbeats"

Poll finds Pelosi best known, but least liked congressional leader

The Hill  "The Gallup poll released Wednesday found that only 11 percent of those surveyed said they had never heard of Pelosi, making her the best known of the four top Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate. But Pelosi also topped the list in unpopularity. Forty-eight percent of those surveyed said they have an unfavorable opinion of her while 31 percent have a favorable opinion." 

Hope for sinners, even terrorists

La Shawn Barber  "I have little patience for people who urge empty “understanding.” What I do have patience for is Christians reminding fellow believers that God can save Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. God demonstrated His love for us by sacrificing His Son when we were still sinners. For me, this fact helps calm the mind and quell the anger.
 "There is hope for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and other murderers if they repent of their sins and accept Christ as their Savior. As long as there is hope for any sinner, we can rejoice. "
Ms. Barber's features, essays, and reviews have appeared in the Washington Examiner, Washington Post, Washington Times, The National Jurist, Christianity Today, Today’s Christian Woman, BreakPoint.org, Beliefnet.com, Townhall.com, National Review Online, BlogCritics.org, and other publications.

Krauthammer: Obama’s Refusal To Use Terms “Jihadist” And “Islamist” Is “Comical And Embarrassing”…

Weasel Zippers  "“I say I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I sure know what he’s saying and doing,” Krauthammer said. “The lengths to which he will go to avoid telling us the truth about the enemy is becoming comical and certainly embarrassing."
 

The Boston bombers and political correctness  "The elephant in the middle of the room that no one seems to want to look at is that there are people in this country, perhaps many people, who have been welcomed into this country, lived here for quite a while, embraced by Americans and treated kindly, who smile at you and seem perfectly normal, and who would happily kill you as an infidel."

Fast food worker strikes spread to Chicago

Rick Moran  "Functionally illiterate people cannot make $15 an hour in any economy, much less one as competitive as the US. When you divorce skills and aptitude from the economics of running a business, a company will fail. The profit margins for fast food franchises is very small and even small increases in wages for employees will impact the cost of products."

"This doesn't matter to the community organizers. They are not interested in keeping companies in business. In fact, their hatred of capitalism is driving them to force companies out of business. Of course, if they are successful, the companies will cut hours and hire fewer workers - unless the workers successfully organize a union, in which case, fast food restaurants would soon become extinct. "

San Francisco Mandates $10 Minimum Wage. Why Not Make it $25, or $50?   "This doesn’t change the point of the post, which is that government interference in labor markets creates unintended consequences – namely, higher unemployment for low-skill workers."

Tamerlan Tsarnaev: Drudge's latest updates

Boston bomb suspect's name was on classified government watch lists

"Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was listed on the U.S. government's highly classified central database of people it views as potential terrorists. But the list is so vast that this did not mean authorities automatically kept close tabs on him, sources close to the bombing investigation said on Tuesday."

Named after the Muslim warrior Tamerlane So we have been told. They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.
"Timur's armies were feared throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, sizable parts of which were laid to ruin by his campaigns. Scholars estimate that his military campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people, amounting to about 5% of the world population." Even more than were killed by global warming that same year.

Russia contacted US government ‘multiple’ times  "Senators said the briefing also revealed failures among federal agencies to share vital information about Tsarnaev, indicating, they said, that the US government still has not established a strong system to ``connect the dots’’ about would-be terrorists residing in America more than a decade after 9/11."

Dead Boston bomber's body has NOT been claimed - days after he was killed in shootout with cops

Taken down: As Dzhokhar drove the car, his older brother was taken down by police. His body is circled.  Videos and photos at this site. If this had been LA, the Times would already be trashing the police for jumping out of the way and showing photos of the bomber's grief-stricken family.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Family Received Welfare
  "The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home."

As in the UK, I understand welfare checks are considered jizya by many Islamists: tribute payments to Muslims by non-Muslims (infidels).

Obama’s revenge

Dick Morris "So many of the unattractive parts of the personality and presidency of Barack Obama are evident in how he has handled the sequestration issue —and it’s worth looking at for what it tells us about our president and his administrative style.
"Let’s start with his detachment from the business of government and administration. Confronted with a congressional mandate to cut about $40 billion in spending this year from a total non-defense discretionary budget of about $600 billion, he just ordered across-the-board reductions in proportion to the legislative totals."
....

"The bald fact is that the president either could not or did not want to be bothered to spend the time to identify $40 billion of waste, fraud and duplication in a $600 billion budget. It was too much effort for him.
"But then, one wonders why he didn’t just tell his Cabinet secretaries to make the cuts and delegate them to do the research and scouring? Why go with the furlough system for cutting spending? Why not lay off the people we don’t need? If we could get by with 7 percent less work by federal employees, why not just fire 7 percent of them?"
....
"And, by refusing to prioritize, he ensured that the sequestration cuts would affect everything, not just the optional areas of federal activity." Read more
 

Why the Boston Bombers Succeeded

STRATFOR  "As we've previously discussed, the best defense against the grassroots threat are grassroots defenders. These include the police and alert citizens who report suspicious activity -- like people testing bomb designs -- a frequent occurrence before actual bomb attacks. The slogan "If you see something, say something," has been mocked as overly simplistic, but it is nonetheless a necessity in an environment where the broad, ambiguous threat of grassroots terrorism far outstrips the ability of the authorities to see everything. Taking a proactive approach to personal and collective security also beats the alternative of living in terror and apprehensively waiting for the next simple attack."

Not from The Onion, as far as I know. But this is on the internet and they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. TD

Internet sales tax advances after Obama endorsement

Every night we go to bed wondering what this government will do to us next.

The Hill "Legislation that would empower states to tax online purchases cleared a key hurdle in the Senate on Monday after winning an enthusiastic endorsement from President Obama.
"Senators advanced the bill in 74-20 procedural vote on Monday evening, just one vote short of the backing it received in a test vote last month. Twenty-six Republicans joined Democrats in moving forward with the bill." Read more.

Report: Amnesty Will “Transform” Political Landscape, Crush Republicans In Future Elections…

Weasel Zippers

"Amnesty will hand the nation to the left on a silver platter."

 

If these people had been on the voting rolls in 2012 and voted along the same lines as other Hispanic voters did last fall, President Barack Obama’s relatively narrow victory last fall would have been considerably wider, a POLITICO analysis showed.
Key swing states that Obama fought tooth and nail to win — like Florida, Colorado and Nevada — would have been comfortably in his column. And the president would have come very close to winning Arizona.
