POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, COWARDICE AND THE LEFTIST-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE ABOUT TO MAKE NYC MUCH LESS SAFE

View image on Twitter

The Astute Bloggers  via HOT AIR:
... a federal lawsuit was brought against authorities after it was revealed that the police, under Ray Kelly, had started an anti-terrorism program some years back which included surveillance of mosques in the Big Apple. One result of that program was the development and publication of a report on domestic terrorism. One part of the demands by the Muslim groups bringing the suit was that the report be scrubbed because it’s “discriminatory” toward Islam. And now, the city is actually considering it.
In top-secret talks to settle federal lawsuits against the NYPD for monitoring mosques, the city is weighing a demand that it scrub from its Web site a report on Islamic terrorists, The Post has learned.
The groundbreaking, 92-page report, titled “Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat,” angers critics who say it promotes “religious profiling” and discrimination against Muslims. But law-enforcement sources say removing the report now would come at the worst time — after mounting terror attacks by Islamic extremists in Paris, Boston, Sydney and Ottawa.

"As resentful liberals stew over the runaway success of American Sniper with red-state bitter-clinging moviegoers, Twitter users weighed in with what a left-of-center war movie might be titled. Here’s a sampling of the snark at #LiberalWarMovies, illustrated by NRO."

'American Sniper' Triggers New War: Conservatives vs. Liberals
"The culture war over the war pic has even colored praise from actress Jane Fonda, a frequent target of veterans' disdain for her visit to Hanoi during the Vietnam war. Her tweet praising the film was immediately pounced on by some vets. "

MSNBC'S MADDOW NOW REWRITING INSTANT REPLAYS

Ann Coulter  . . . "In fact, unless Rachel -- or that fantastic diverse staff -- can produce Scalise campaign literature from 1999, highlighting his views on repealing the 14th Amendment, reinstating slavery and opposing miscegenation, I am almost positive that the "conservative views" Scalise was touting to suburban New Orleans voters were more along the lines of, say, smaller government, prayer in schools and opposition to abortion. 

"If by "opposition to abortion," Rachel hears "reinstituting the slave trade," I can't help her. At that point, we're talking full-on dementia. 

"I'm no fan of David Duke: I hate long-time Democrats pretending to be Republicans. 

"But more than a decade after Duke quit the Klan -- he was out by 1980 -- Rachel's esteemed MSNBC colleague Al Sharpton was denouncing the Jews of Crown Heights as "diamond merchants." I assume from your surname, Rachel, that you are, at least in part, a "diamond merchant." What do you think about Sharpton having his own show on MSNBC and visiting the White House a dozen times?


Cowards!

Obama's SOTU as seen from the UK: What a waste of national goodwill this presidency has been

State of the Union: Barack Obama channels Gordon Brown  "A good proportion of the US electorate must have hoped that in electing Barack Obama as president, they would be getting the visionary intellect and magnetism of a John Kennedy.
Instead, they ended up with the vision of Jimmy Carter and the personal charm of Richard Nixon. Mr Obama's State of the Union address was about as relentlessly bellicose and self-regarding as it was possible for a president whose politics had received two successive popular rejections to be.
"Combined with the defiance of a man whose views have been repudiated in a way that leaves him powerless against a Republican-dominated Congress, there was an absolute refusal to grant that his own obstinacy might be in any way responsible for rendering the remainder of his time in office largely pointless." .

HILARIOUS VIDEO: Dummies Across America – Guess What These Idiots Didn’t Know

Debbie Schlussel  "This may be a Martin Luther King Jr. Day leftover, but it’s worth watching to remind us yet again how ignorant so many Americans are. Note that many of these people are Black and they did not know this one basic fact. I’ll bet everyone in the video, though, could accurately tell you all of the details of the lives of each of the individual Kardashians and Jenners. And the rules of “Fight Club.” Love that guy with an ear guage (does he have one in his brain, too?). Very funny . . .

The Penis Mightier Than the Sword

"Big Gay"?

Billy Crystal: Not gay enough.

Mark Steyn  "The feasting on the dead of Charlie Hebdo continues. Just when you thought the State of the Union couldn't get any tackier comes news of the latest phony-baloney pen-is-mightier-than-the-swordpseudo-solidarity:

Members of Congress will honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack during the State of the Union by holding up yellow pencils.
 A spokeswoman for Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin said that she will hold up a pencil and that they have confirmed that other lawmakers will do so as well. . . ...
"It would be hard to think of an institution more antithetical to freedom of expression than the modern Democratic Party and its constituent identity groups. Consider one of Charlie Hebdo's fellow funnymen, Billy Crystal. He's a big-time Oscar host and limousine liberal, but yesterday he made the mistake of wandering off-script:
Billy Crystal: 'Stop Shoving Gay Sex Scenes in My Face'

. . . "So maybe they'll let him still appear in movies and TV shows occasionally. Or maybe the taint of "homophobe" will linger. Crystal knows what he meant, and so does Big Gay. And they don't care whether his "clarification" is sincere; they're teaching a lesson to the broader citizenry: You can be a big star, and a Democrat, and a supporter of gay marriage; you can have played one of the first gay characters on TV, a third of a century ago, back when that sort of thing took a measure of courage as opposed to being the lamest bandwagon in town. And none of it matters if you make one infelicitous remark." 

After the SOTU, who should be more embarrassed, this administration or the voters who put it into office?



" ...a woman identified only as Mrs. Powell of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Franklin is said to have answered, “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it.”
... "The founders charged the citizens of this country actively to pursue righteousness in our elected officials and to remain alert to the activities at every level of government.

In SOTU, Obama Slips on Oil, Success of Private Sector  ... "Despite oil production on federal land being stifled 16%, despite the federal government snatching up tracts of land, despite an Environmental Protection Agency hostile to conventional sources of energy, America’s oil production continues to grow in the private sector. In spite of Obama trying to orchestrate his “middle-class economy,” free enterprise brought a true benefit to the American people." ...

Limbaugh: SOTU Is Nothing But A “Vote-Buying Scheme”…

Weasel Zippers

"Everything Obama does is a “vote-buying scheme”…
"Via Daily Caller:
In his pre-State of the Union program, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh slammed the significance of the annual presidential address, saying he has “never cared about a State of the Union address less” than the one Tuesday night.
Limbaugh told his audience that the address, as it is currently constructed, is not a real State of the Union speech. The host said the address is full of “empty promises,” adding that it is a “vote-buying scheme.”
“I have never — and I shouldn’t say this — I have never cared about a State of the Union address less than the one I care about today,” Limbaugh said. “In fact, my temptation is not even to discuss it, because to discuss it is to fall prey to the whole narrative the Drive-By Media is setting up, which is it’s the most important thing in the news today.”

. . . "At least, that's the opinion of Reverend Al "Taxes Is For White Folks" Sharpton, who has somehow become the ludicrous heir apparent to Dr. King's legacy. Following the announcement of this year's Oscar nominations, Reverend Al called an emergency meeting of his Diversity Task Forceto address the fact that there were no black actors or directors nominated for top awards. 

"In the time of Ferguson," Sharpton said while squinting into his word-a-day dictionary, "that isincongruous!" 
. . .
"Currently, neither the Reverend Sharpton nor his Diversity Task Force has announced plans for a Martin Luther King "Content Of Character" award.

Is Obama More Interested in Progress or Politics? From his address tonight, five ways to judge the president's motives.

Ron Fournier

. . . "Unfortunately, both the White House and the GOP-led Congress seem focused prematurely on 2016. Republicans are sending to the White House legislation they know Obama will veto. The president is pushing an agenda he knows Congress won't pass. It's a recipe for more gridlock, more fighting, more courting of donors and ignoring the needs of a country in transition.
"In other words: The state of the union is the status quo.
If you're OK with that, stop reading. If you'd rather see progress than partisan gains, consider this: The State of the Union address is an opportunity for the president to chart a path toward consensus on issues like jobs, social mobility, education, infrastructure, energy, the debt, the environment, and terrorism.
"Is Obama more interested in politics or progress? Here are five ways to tell from his address tonight."   Keep reading...

As a teaser, here is just one of the benchmarks Fournier includes:
The pronouns: Count how many times Obama uses the words "I," "me," and "my." Compare that number to how often he says, "You," "we," "our." If the first number is greater than the second, Obama has failed. He needs to remember the lesson of Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign: Don't dismiss the 47 percent of Americans who disagree with him.
