Major Hasan’s Death Spree; Political correctness has trumped truth in the Fort Hood massacre.

Michelle Malkin

Engraved names of the fallen at a Fort Hood memorial

"Americans obsessed over the O. J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, and Jodi Arias trials. Gun-control lobbyists turned Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson into national awareness-raising, fundraising, and legislation-promoting campaigns. But where are the celebrity lobbyists and high-profile advocates for the victims of the bloodthirsty Muslim vigilante Nidal Hasan?

"The White House, which downplayed the terrorist mass murder as “workplace violence,” encouraged national apathy about his evil acts. Our soldiers deserve better. Here are three facts you’ve probably forgotten — or never knew — about the Fort Hood terror spree."....  Full Article

...."One e-mail from an Army investigator before the Fort Hood massacre fretted: “Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we’d have been crucified.”"
"Instead, 13 soldiers and one unborn child paid with their lives for our country’s reckless political correctness and bureaucratic fecklessness." Emphasis added, TD
 

From Russia, With Hate: Sodomy Lobby Now Dictating U.S. Foreign Policy

The Other McCain  "The astute reader will perceive how the whole “neocon imperialist crusader” philosophy of Bush administration foreign policy, which Obama supposedly was going to reverse, has instead been simply converted to other purposes. Whereas the Republicans were going to spread “democracy” to the Middle East at the point of a bayonet, now the Obama regime aims to spread cultural liberalism by means of diplomatic hardball. This is a further sop to the same vocal minority that supports John Kerry’s recognition of foreign gay marriages for immigration purposes."

Putin isn’t just humiliating Washington – he’s testing it    "If Mr. Obama is prepared to show that there are repercussions for gross Russian misbehaviour, next month’s G20 summit in St. Petersburg (and a possible follow-up meeting between the two presidents) presents an opportunity. At long last, Mr. Obama could send a corrective message by not attending."

Obama's Russia reset unravels  "But analysts said the talk of Snowden’s role in the cancellation obscured a more basic reality: The U.S.-Russia relationship is now so frosty that it didn’t appear the two presidents would actually accomplish enough to merit such a high-profile meeting."

Ann Coulter: Bill O’Reilly is smarter than Lawrence O’Donnell

First some background on this:  MSNBC's O'Donnell Distorts O'Reilly, Touts 'Proof' Out-of-Wedlock Birth Not So Bad
"And, while O'Donnell claimed that O'Reilly "defended" the shooting of Trayvon Martin, O'Reilly actually asserted that "it was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance," which hardly amounts to a total defense of Zimmerman's actions."  Full article

Ann Coulter  "After attacking Bill O’Reilly’s history last week, I’ll defend his sociology this week. On Monday, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell ridiculed Fox News’ O’Reilly for saying that single motherhood is responsible for the the high black crime rate.

"O’Reilly said, quite correctly: “The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disintegration of the African-American family. Right now, about 73 percent of all black babies are born out of wedlock. That drives poverty. And the lack of involved fathers leads to young boys growing up resentful and unsupervised. And it has nothing to do with slavery. It has everything to do with you Hollywood people and you derelict parents.”
O’Donnell mocked O’Reilly, saying that “the struggles of black America have nothing to do with slavery in Bill O’Reilly’s very narrow and uneducated mind.”"....

Guess Who is Getting 400 Death Threats Per Minute?

DC Clothesline   "Sometimes I am really ashamed to be part of the human race. How on earth can there be so many haters in this world that anyone could get 400 death threats in one minute? We aren’t talking about The Pope or Barack Obama here. We aren’t talking about Mohamed Morsi. We are talking about George Zimmerman’s family."

The article links to this UK Daily Mail column:

 

'We have to monitor social media and the internet to see if there are any rallies nearby that pose a specific threat and we avoid them,' he said.
'The death threats usually come on social media, some are emailed. There’s a lot of "you better watch your back, I know where u are, I’m going to get you".
'Social media is a lot more bold. "I’m in Florida, I’m going to find you, I’m going to kill you, get you, we know where you are, etc." and "Say hi to Trayvon Martin when I kill you".
'He said some of them allude to Trayvon Martin, but most of them do not.'
Zimmerman said the threats sometimes average 400 per minute.
Speaking about a time he was threatened in a Starbucks in Washington DC...

Holy Cow! Can Anthony Weiner REALLY Be This Stupid?

Calling your opponent "Grandpa" while at an AARP meeting?

Yid With Lid   "If you think that getting caught in a sexting scandal, being forced to resign from Congress, running for mayor and having your campaign destroyed by another sexting scandal is the extent of Anthony Weiner's stupidity--you ain't seen nothing yet.

"Today the self-destructive Weiner was at a forum for Mayoral candidates sponsored by AARP the progressive organization for senior citizens. Before he forum Weiner had a conversation with his 69-year-old opponent George McDonald. When Weiner greeted the Republican McDonald he touched his opponents chest. "....
Things went downhill from there. 

 

...."Can't really blame him----after all who knows where Weiner's hands have been."....

Obama’s Global-Warming Folly ; No, Mr. President, we don’t need a war on coal.

Charles Krauthammer   This is only part of Mr. Krauthammer's article, but we have posted an extra large portion of it- for those not inclined to do more than merely skim this blog- so you can see Krauthammer's main point:

...."For the sake of argument, nonetheless, let’s concede that global warming is precisely what Obama thinks it is. Then answer this: What in God’s name is his massive new regulatory and spending program — which begins with a war on coal and ends with billions in more subsidies for new Solyndras — going to do about it?

"The U.S. has already radically cut CO₂ emissions — more than any country on earth since 2006, according to the International Energy Agency. Emissions today are back down to 1992 levels.

"And yet, at the same time, global emissions have gone up. That’s because — surprise! — we don’t control the energy use of the other 96 percent of humankind.

"At the heart of Obama’s program are EPA regulations that will make it impossible to open any new coal plant and will systematically shut down existing plants. “Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal,” explained one of Obama’s climate advisers. “On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.”

"Net effect: tens of thousands of jobs killed, entire states impoverished. This at a time of chronically and crushingly high unemployment, slow growth, jittery markets, and deep economic uncertainty.

"But that’s not the worst of it. This massive self-sacrifice might be worthwhile if it did actually stop global warming and save the planet. What makes the whole idea nuts is that it won’t. This massive self-inflicted economic wound will have no effect on climate change."...Read more...

LOL — Vile Obama Video, Going Viral in Egypt

Grumpy Opinions   "Remember when Hillary blamed Benghazi on the “vile” Muhammad Video – Well some folks in Egypt have made a video too- "
Language advisory-in the subtitles!

"Well if that was cause for rioting in Egypt and the attack at Benghazi, brace yourself…  The Obamaites are about to freak, cause this Egyptian video damn sure insults their Messiah..  In fact it not so politely tells Obama to ...shove his aid where the sun doesn’t shine..
"She doesn’t say much about John McCain, she let the picture do that for her…
"And she flat out accuses Barack Obama of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood …." (Their words, not mine.TD)
 

How the Vietnam War Was Won and Lost

Prager University  "Most of what you believe about the Vietnam War isn't true. In this second installment of Prager University's "Wisdom of the Masters" series, foreign policy expert, Bruce Herschensohn, explains how the U.S. Congress turned victory in the Vietnam War into defeat." 

Even then, the Democrats had an investment in American failure.

How the Russian press looks at the US embassy closings

Pravda (for you young Obama voters, Pravda has for decades been a propaganda voice of the Communist government, first for the Soviet Union and now for the present government of Russia). Think Putin.  Via Lucianne.

"However, there are other points of view. "If this is such a serious threat, why did the President go to play golf, why did he not address the American people? Maybe they are just trying to make mountains out of molehills to distract the media attention from Benghazi, IRS, and NSA spyware? "...
.. According to the American political scientist Mike Baker, many military veterans and U.S. law enforcement agencies believe that the terrorist alert announced this weekend is ungrounded. "The problem is that Obama cannot decide whether Al-Qaeda is on the run or the al-Qaeda is a threat to the American people," said Baker. It seems, however, that in this instance it was an operation for domestic consumption designed to rehabilitate the "Big Brother.""

Hey, these people should know "Big Brother" when they see him.

Jay Leno Rips Obama as He Waits Off-Stage: “How About Solving the Problems That Brought Our Country to a Halt”

The Gateway Pundit   "Jay Leno ripped Barack Obama [Tuesday] in his monologue as the president waited to come on The Tonight Show.

“President Obama has sent John McCain to Cairo to help solve the political problems that brought the Egyptian government to a halt. I got an idea. How about solving the problems that brought our government to a halt.”

 
The full interview here.
 

NBC's take on the Leno appearance; UK Daily Mail

 

Laugh track sorely missed as Obama does Leno   "Jay Leno, whose rating have surged as he cracks more and more jokes about the president, played the straight man on the Tonight Show. For Obama, it was a chance to repair his soured imaged, as the campaign's claim that Al Qaeda is "on the run" now looks like a bad joke." Thomas Lifson

"Then there is the question  of dignity. On the one hand, the public is supposed to believe that there is a real crisis overseas, but on the other hand, Obama doesn't miss his tee time and is out in Hollywood. Neil Cavuto noted that JFK certainly didn't go on the Jack Paar Show  when the Cuban Missile Crisis was underway. "

Unions and the Democrats

Unions and the Democrats   "For generations the Democratic Party has relied upon unions and their members to dutifully pull the lever for Democratic candidates and to man their call centers and canvass neighborhoods. And yet, an objective look at what are arguably the three biggest issues shows that Democrats are on the wrong side of these issues when compared to the desires and needs of union members.

"Union members -- it is time to break the allegiance with the Democratic Party."
