British War Memorials vandalized by ‘Muslims’ (even though the media will not say so)
barenakedislam.com
"It came as supporters of the English Defence League (below) marched through central London today. The EDL demonstrators pushed their way through a police cordon as they made their way to Trafalgar Square. They chanted ‘Muslim killers off our streets’ and ‘There’s only one Lee Rigby’ and protesters held placards that read ‘Blood on your hands’ and ‘GB RIP’. They are expected to demonstrate outside Downing Street later."

Steve Rose on Obama's Arrogance
American Thinker "President Obama's arrogance is undoing his presidency," by columnist Steve Rose, appeared on the op-ed page of Sunday's print edition of the Kansas City Star. It's a surprisingly frank assessment from a journalist few would think of as a conservative. Rose focuses his column on the three big scandals now plaguing the Obama administration; here's a taste:What Barack Obama has lacked from the beginning is humility, and what he has displayed consistently is arrogance.
He could have nipped the Benghazi fiasco in the bud, but Obama apparently decided that since only Fox News was beating the drums for the truth, he could finesse the ugly matter. ...
It was sheer arrogance that turned a tragedy into a scandal.
This same arrogance bled into an Internal Revenue Service politically motivated witch hunt on Obama's watch. ...
The Justice Department "spying" on The Associated Press is but another example of this toxic "we know what's best" approach that thrives under Obama.
The aforementioned Steve Rose article: Barack Obama just had his worst week in a deeply flawed presidency.
Philosophical Aspects of the Climate Change Controversy
Intellectual Conservative "One might reasonably ask why Al Gore built a mansion on an oceanfront property, considering his dire pronouncements about rising sea levels? "....
"The nature of the opposition to contemporary progressive environmental movements by some evangelical Christians and other conservatives, is that “environmentalists” seem to espouse philosophies placing emphasis on worshipping and deifying the creation more than the Creator."
....
"We may pass unnecessary legislative measures that irretrievably harm economic and technological development, as well as forfeiting national sovereignty and restraining individual liberties. Consider everything carefully."
Undoing the Brainwashing
Thomas Sowell
"This time of year, as college students return home for the summer, many parents may notice how many politically correct ideas they have acquired on campus. Some of those parents may wonder how they can undo some of the brainwashing that has become so common in what are supposed to be institutions of higher learning.
....
"If your student has been led to believe that "comprehensive immigration reform" -- amnesty, in plain English -- is the only way to go, a devastating book titled "Mexifornia," by Victor Davis Hanson, introduces some cold, factual reality into a subject usually discussed in sweeping and lofty rhetoric."
....
"However the battle is fought, what is most important is that the battle be fought, since the young are the future, and the propaganda of today can become the government policies of tomorrow."

Ramirez on executive leadership in the White House
Hot Air "In this blizzard of scandals, one thread connects all of them — the AP/Rosen scandal, political corruption at the IRS, and Benghazi, at least on the changes made to the talking points. Barack Obama knew nothing of all them, at least according to the White House’s own defenses. He had no idea what was happening in his own Treasury, State, and Justice Departments until the media notified him in the morning paper. Even his White House counsel gets better informed than the President in this administration, according to Jay Carney, which is more than a little disturbing."
God bless our troops and those of our allies this Memorial Day and always
As we honor Americans who died for our nation, let's also remember those allies from the United Kingdom who fought alongside our troops for the past 100 years. I want to pay special tribute to British Soldier Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers who was a victim of Islamic radicals just as much as if he was killed in the hills of Afghanistan.
How regrettable that his death will come with no honors; just anger and recriminations from his own people and shouts of triumph from our enemies.
God bless all those whose loved ones mourn their loss

Now The Gibson Guitar Raids Make Sense
Hat tip to Edward W Wagner, who commented, "I don't think that Obama Inc. has an enemies list. I think they have a friends list and God help you if you are not on it. Obama Inc. is a system based on an ideology."
Investors Business Daily "IRS Scandal: The inexplicable raid nearly two years ago on a guitar maker for using allegedly illegal wood that its competitors also used was another targeting by this administration of its political enemies."
"Interestingly, one of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Co. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain "East Indian Rosewood," which is the exact same wood in at least 10 of Gibson's
guitars. So why were they not also raided and their inventory of foreign wood seized?
"Grossly underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson's chief executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to Republican politicians. Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
"By contrast, Chris Martin IV, the Martin & Co. CEO, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the Democratic National Committee over the past couple of election cycles." (Emphasis added)

"In the meantime, I'm struck by the fact that the guitar that quintessential American country boy Johnny B. Goode could play just like he's ringing a bell is now a global patchwork.
"I'm forced to echo the sardonic Glenn Reynolds: Is that the hope or the change?"

Brit Hume Smacks Down Juan Williams Over Holder Investigation Of James Rosen

In Rush to Generate Revenue, Why Has Obama Failed to Unleash IRS on Illegal Aliens?
Voice of Lillpop "Give Obama’s maniacal obsession with taxes it seems curious that he has all but ignored a growing segment of American society that is notorious for deliberately evading their “fair share” of the tax burden.
"That would be illegal aliens, who illegally feed at the public trough to take welfare, food stamps, and other public services intended for citizens, but many of whom pay no taxes.
"Why has Obama not ordered brass-knuckled goons at the IRS to smoke out illegal aliens and force these scam artists and freeloaders to pay up, and get out?"

UK Jihad Beheader was arrested in Kenya on terror charges, Deported to London
Atlas Shrugs "Mujahid (yes, that's this convert's name, "holy warrior") was arrested for jihad related activities and he was .... deported to London. This is an epic security/intelligence failure, as was the FBI's refusal to follow up on the Boston bombers.
"However Imam Omar Bakri Muhammad, who influenced Mujaheed Adebowale, the London beheader, disagrees saying, “Under Islam this can be justified”, “I saw the film and we could see that he [the suspect] was being very courageous” and “To people around here [in the Middle East] he is a hero for what he has done.”"

Proof the “leadership in the UK is as inept as it is in America "Scholars of Islam like Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson insisted that the gruesome murder of a British soldier by two Muslims shouting “Allah Akbar” and quoting the Koran had nothing to do with Islam."Suspected killer of British soldier was held in Kenya" Reuters, May 26, 2013 (thanks to Van)
(Reuters) - One of two men arrested over the murder of a British soldier in a London street was detained in Kenya in 2010 on suspicion of seeking to train with an al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, Kenyan police said on Sunday. Confirmation that Michael Adebolajo was held in Kenya and deported to London will intensify calls for Britain's spy agencies to explain what they knew about the suspect and whether they could have done more to prevent Lee Rigby's killing on Wednesday.

“We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity.”"Nothing to do with Islam. Not a bloody thing."
