Charles Krauthammer: A travesty of a report

Charles Krauthammer: A travesty of a report  ... "We were so blindsided that we established a 9/11 commission to find out why. And we knew next to nothing about the enemy: its methods, structure, intentions, plans. There was nothing morally deranged about deciding as a nation to do everything necessary to find out what we needed to prevent a repetition, or worse. As Feinstein said at the time, “We have to do some things that historically we have not wanted to do to protect ourselves.' ” ...

This Town Has Displayed a Nativity for 50 Years. Now an Atheist Group Wants it Removed.

The Constitution as interpreted by liberals contains the destruction of the American culture. TD

The Daily Signal  "Residents of an Indiana town have been threatened with legal action by an atheist group if they don’t remove their nativity scene.

"Brookville, Ind. has displayed the nativity outside the courthouse every holiday season for the last 50 years.

"But according to WLWT, residents of the Indiana town say that for the last three years, the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation has demanded they remove the scene, threatening them with a lawsuit if they fail to comply." ...
 

 

..."Franklin County commissioner Scott McDonough, who lives in Brookville, was recently interviewed on Fox and Friends and said that the atheist group was “misreading” the law."

"The day of the grand jury announcement that absolved Darren Wilson of any wrongdoing for the killing of Mike Brown, I noticed that one of my friends had updated their profile picture on Facebook to an “I Support Darren Wilson” meme. Having effectively purged from my social media most of the people I considered no better than Confederate flag enthusiasts, I was horrified by this turn of events. Who had I missed? Who did I now need to delete as a friend?

"It was my sister.

"As a black man, it had never occurred to me that anyone in my family would stand in solidarity with the murderer of an unarmed black male." ...

Ann Coulter on Rolling Stone: The College Rape Club

Ann Coulter  "Sorry this column is late. I got raped again on the way home. Twice. I should clarify -- by "raped," I mean that two seductive Barry White songs came on the radio, which, according to the University of Virginia, constitutes rape.

"TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!

"Even the feminist-whipped media parted company with Rolling Stone magazine over Sabrina Rubin Erdely's story about an alleged fraternity gang-rape at the University of Virginia -- since retracted.

"But while dismantling every part of this preposterous rape claim by a woman Rolling Stone calls "Jackie," journalists rush to assure us that "sexual assault at colleges and universities is indeed a serious problem," as an article in Slate put it..."

"The main threat to college students' physical and emotional safety these days comes not from athletes or fraternity members, but from the feminists."  Read more

... Teachers Union Joining Up With Thug Al Sharpton’s Anti-Cop Rally ...

Jammie Wearing Fools 

"Needless to say, a lot of teachers are upset by their union aligning themselves with this racist punk.

This teachers union never learns.
The UFT plans to send busloads of protesters to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s anti-cop rally in Washington, DC, this weekend — despite the fury it sparked by co-sponsoring a similar march over the summer.
“We can’t stop them from supporting Al Sharpton and the anti-cop brigade. It’s the Useless Federation of Teachers,” one outraged teacher told The Post.
In August, scores of city teachers — including many married to NYPD cops — blasted the UFT on its own Facebook page for supporting a Sharpton-led demonstration on Staten Island.
In a rare labor rift, the head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association also called UFT president Michael Mulgrew* “disgraceful” and accused Mulgrew of trying to “distract attention” from his failed leadership.
“How would he like it if police officers lined up with the activists who oppose his efforts to shield bad teachers and undermine effective charter schools?” Lynch said.
In an “Action Alert” posted on its Web site, the UFT strongly urges its members to attend Sharpton’s “Justice for All” march on Saturday, offering free rides on charter buses leaving at 6 a.m.
But the union didn’t do its homework, mistakenly saying it would march “with our colleagues at the NAACP,” which has no public affiliation with Sharpton’s protest.

Not the brightest bunch. No wonder parents would like some school choice, but the idiot de Blasio opposes that, just like the unions.

*Teachers union members call for UFT president Michael Mulgrew's resignation

 

 

"Disgruntled city teachers are calling for their union boss to resign over a decision to participate in the march that Rev. Al Sharpton is leading on Staten Island next Saturday to protest the death of Eric Garner."

Biden Lectured Ayaan Hirsi Ali On Islam

"Human Rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali fled the Netherlands  after years of threats from Muslim extremists. Hirsi Ali dared to speak out against radical Islam and the horrific treatment of women in the Muslim world."
Silly progressives don't know what a real war on women is like.

At a dinner in Washington, Biden attempted to correct her perspective on relationship between the Islamic State and Islam, saying, “ISIS had nothing to do with Islam.” When she pushed back, Biden said, “Let me tell you one or two things about Islam…”  Joe actually said that.
... "Looks like Ms. Ali was applying Proverbs 14:7: “Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge.' ”

Truth Revolt

 

"In a recent interview with the Washington Examiner, human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali discussed the “real war on women” being conducted by adherents to radical Islam and the need for the American left to acknowledge that reality. During the conversation, Hirsi Ali recalled a particularly telling encounter she had with Vice President Joe Biden in which he attempted to correct her on “one or two things about Islam."

"Hirsi Ali explained to the Examiner that in the left’s attempts to protect anyone they perceive as “victims of the white man,” they have failed to look honestly at the true war on women waged by radical Muslims."

“I politely left the conversation at that,” Hirsi Ali said. “I wasn’t used to arguing with vice presidents.”   Or fools.

CROmnibus: The $1 Trillion Betrayal

American Thinker  "Flush from an unprecedented nationwide GOP victory in this November’s elections, House and Senate GOP leadership determined that their essential first course of action should be to snatch defeat from its jaws. They have brought forth a spending bill for 2015 that gives President Obama almost everything he wants, while disenfranchising the very voters who delivered the GOP victory."...

Dick Cheney vs. the Democrats

Senator Dianne Feinstein took the floor Tuesday to release a Democratic report ripping the CIA and the Bush Administration for torturing terrorists. She had the president's full backing. Congress was never shown the report because it's against U.S. government policy to negotiate with Republicans.  Argus Hamilton

Dick Cheney – New Report on CIA Deeply Flawed; “They didn’t bother to interview key people involved in the program.”

 

"Senator Mitch McConnell has characterized the new CIA report on “torture” as a last ditch effort by outgoing Democrats to stick their thumb in the eye of the George W. Bush administration and of course, he’s right.

"Where were all these Democrats when Obama was pulverizing suspected terrorists into dust with drones if they happened to be on his personal kill list? It’s convenient for Obama to kill terrorists with drones because they’re enemy combatants he’ll never have to place in Gitmo.

"Vice President Dick Cheney was interviewed by Bret Baier on FOX News Wednesday night and was asked about the highly partisan CIA “torture” report. He didn’t hold back:

NRO: Ignoring Risks to National Security   "The Feinstein report reflects the Democratic party’s contempt for U.S. intelligence agencies."

 

 

... "In the longer term, it could reveal secrets to our terrorist enemies and dry up sources of cooperation with other countries.

 

"But these effects will pale in comparison with the harm that Feinstein and her Democratic colleagues will do to our intelligence agencies. Their faithlessness will only discourage intelligence officers now, and in the future, to press the envelope to identify and stop future terrorist threats to the nation. We cannot blame CIA agents who will doubt the empty promises of support from politicians the next time that they are asked to risk their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to keep our nation safe. Combined with the Obama administration’s disheartening lack of support for the intelligence community, congressional attacks will only harm our security while threats to the nation are on the rise." ... Full article here.

 

DOJ not expected to initiate charges against CIA officers over torture report  ..."This means the Justice Department is standing by its earlier decision not to pursue criminal charges. Its investigators also reviewed the Committee's full report and did not find any new information that they had not previously considered in reaching their determination."   (Emphasis added)

California Democrat Rep. Speier Wants the CIA to Apologize for Depriving Murderous Terrorists of Sleep  "After throwing the good men and women of the CIA who serve and protect us under the bus, the Democrats now want them to apologize at a time when we are so precariously positioned in the world.

 

"Jackie Speier is leading the charge and wants the CIA to apologize to the murderous terrorists who plotted 9/11 and the consequent murder of almost 3,000 Americans."

As we apologize for the treatment we gave them. be sure to give them $1,000,000 for the beheaded body of James Foley

 Did I mention that Speier was a California Democrat?

Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who chairs the intelligence panel. "We may lose a couple of Americans in uniform on the front line in Afghanistan because of this incredible selfish act by Feinstein's staff," Kirk said." ...

Free Fire Zone- Torturing the CIA

Blackfive  "The White House is releasing the Senate report on the CIA's Enhanced Interrogation Techniques often mistakenly referred to as torture. The reason for this is pretty hard to fathom although I'll take a stab starting with hair shirt liberal guilt and the ongoing embarrassment of our Apologist in Chief preening about as if he occcupies some moral high ground.

"The sad thing is that the program worked, we caught terrorists, we saved lives and now all of that has been thrown away and we are stabbing the CIA in the back for doing what we asked of them. Have a watch as I point out the folly of all of this.
 

Al Qaeda Terrorist Wanted by FBI Crossed Back and Forth Into U.S. From Mexico
