Why state governments should take down the Confederate flag. (And this will not end with just the flag)

 

Volokh Conspiracy
. . . " It is long past time that state governments stopped displaying the Confederate flag, and otherwise honoring Confederate leaders. We should not honor people whose main claim to fame was waging a bloody war for the purpose of perpetuating and extending the evil institution of slavery. Some still deny that this was the motivation for Confederate secession. But overwhelming evidence proves otherwise. You don’t have to take my word for the proposition that slavery was at the root of the Confederate agenda, or even the word of John Stuart Mill. Take that of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, vice president Alexander Stephens (who called slavery “the cornerstone” of the Confederacy), and southern states’ own official statements outlining their reasons for seceding." . . .

21 Ways Obama Attempted to Assassinate the U.S.-Israel Relationship

Doug Ross   " America's heroine Pamela Geller points us to an exceptional summary of diplomat Michael Oren's new book. The former Israeli Ambassador to the United States -- no right-winger to be sure -- has outlined a stunning insider's look at Obama's assassination of the relationship between the two longtime allies. Adam Kredo, writing at Washington Free Beacon, outlines some of the most outrageous revelations.“ 'Prophecy was not required to foresee that an Obama presidency might strain the U.S.-Israel alliance,” Oren writes in the early pages of his book... Obama stacked his administration with senior officials hostile to Israel and pursued a policy of “daylight” with Jewish state, Oren recounts... “The first thing Obama will do in office is pick a fight with Israel,” Oren recalls a confidant as telling him in the early days of the administration.
Hillary had a large part in this as well, in case you wondered how she would affect our relationship with our old ally Israel

"Below are a series of passages that reveal in detail how the U.S.-Israel alliance hit historic lows under the Obama administration." . . .
 An excerpt:

2. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Commanders Never Trusted Obama
Oren recounts listening to Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo while stationed in the IDF’s headquarters. “Their reactions typified that of a great many Israelis.”
These commanders “scoffed at what they regarded as Obama’s inexperience with the Middle East, where magnanimity is often seen as weakness. They cringed at his tendency to equate America’s moral foibles with the honor killings, human trafficking, and the suppression of women, foreign workers, and indigenous minorities rampant in many Muslim countries,” Oren writes.
Their opinions only grew dimmer when Obama “linked that legitimacy [of Israel] to the Jews’ ‘tragic history’ in the Holocaust. That linkage seemed to me to be the most damaging part of his speech.”

“As President, I spend most of my time focused on the Economy.”

Shooter Dylann Roof's Manifesto: Who to Blame for Race War? Jews!

Jawa Report   "First indication you have a serious problem is when you decide to write a Manifesto . Predictably the rant will include Jews.

Thats what racial awareness is, its viewing everything that happens through a racial lense. They are always thinking about the fact that they are black. This is part of the reason they get offended so easily, and think that some thing are intended to be racist towards them, even when a White person wouldnt be thinking about race. The other reason is the Jewish agitation of the black race.

 . . .
 The same from ISIS:

 Its [Islamic State's] actions speak louder than its words and it is only a matter of time and patience before it reaches Palestine to fight the barbaric Jews and kill those of them hiding behind the gharqad trees – the trees of the jews."

White House Lied About Gruber’s Role In Developing Obamacare

 Obama's "just some guy" defense again.

"JUST SOME ADVISOR’ MY @SS:"

 

"Remember the guy who called Americans ‘stupid’ and Obama brushed him off as being ‘some advisor’? It actually turns out he had a lot more to do with developing Obamacare than the White House would like us to think, according to some new revealing e-mails.

President Obama’s dismissal of MIT’s Jonathan Gruber as just “some adviser” he barely remembers, rather than a key architect of ObamaCare, has always been one of the flimsiest and most transparent lies told by this profoundly dishonest White House.

Everyone knew Gruber was critical to ObamaCare, and when he was caught on tape high-fiving himself for helping to fool what he described as “stupid” American voters with the Affordable Care Act’s web of false promises and ludicrous projections, he was speaking from the Administration’s heart.

It’s still newsworthy that the House Oversight Committee has released emails to the Wall Street Journal showing Gruber had a far closer working relationship with the White House than it wanted to admit:

Will Rachel Dolezal deliver Affirmative Action coup de grâce?

 Donald Trump spent Wednesday at Trump Tower giving interviews to ABC News and Fox News to explain why he's running for president of the United States. What a show. He was wearing so much facial bronzer it looks like he's also running for president of the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP.

 Psychology Today printed a report criticizing Americans for their lack of concern about mental health care. We think we're perfectly fine. Americans feel if Bruce Jenner can identify as a woman and Rachel Dolezal can identify as black, Donald Trump has a perfect right to identify as the president. Comedian Argus Hamilton

Legal Insurrection
 "If Rachel Dolezal didn’t exist, someone would have had to invent her because she so embodies everything that is wrong with race-based politics and theories so prevalent in Higher Ed.

"Dolezal is white. Elizabeth Warren white. As Mark Steyn once put it with regard to Warren, “the whitest white since Frosty the Snowman fell in a vat of Wite-Out.”

"Warren passed herself off as Native American, but mostly in secret so she could get put on a list of Minority Law Teachers in a 1980s directory used for hiring.

"Dolezal was very public in her adoption of a black identity. And she’s standing by it.
Because Dolezal feels black, she says she is. It’s what is called among the campus activist class “lived experience.' ” . . .

Dylann Roof’s Racist Massacre Was Universally Condemned — Why Are Liberal Pundits Pretending Otherwise?

 

Charles C. W. Cooke

. . . "On The Nightly Show yesterday, Larry Wilmore made the same mistake, explaining to his audience of clapping seals that Fox News “makes my f*cking head explode.” “With all of [the] evidence” available, Wilmore contended, still conservatives would not accept “that racial stuff” had gone down. This was a cheap shot at the time that it was fired. But, had he waited a few more hours, he would have seen just how cheap it was. Running through his “talking points memo,” favored boogeyman Bill O’Reilly cast the attack as “terrorism” and concluded bluntly that “skin color seems to be the motivator.” The assault, O’Reilly proposed, is “no different than what ISIS and al-Qaeda does targeting civilians because of who they are.” “This is not a tragedy,” he added, “this is an execution designed to terrorize people just like the Boston Marathon bombing and the mass murder at Fort Hood, Texas.” Unlike with much of the reaction to the shooting at Charlie Hebdo, there was no impending “but.” . . .Full article here.

"The funniest guide to politically correct behavior ever! "

 

Newsmachete   "The University of California published a guide to microaggressions.  If you don't know what that is, microaggressions are ordinary,  unoffensive comments and actions that offend feminists and minority "activists" with chips on their shoulders.

"Because this is such a big problem in the minds of liberals, UC has published an unintentionally hysterical guide to microaggressive behavior.  What follows is a list of microaggresive behaviors, exactly as written, and then my own interpretation of what would not be microaggressive alternatives:" . . .

" The funniest part about all this is that the people who wrote this were serious!  Not only are they trying to make ordinary statements offensive, but they are trying to make statements like "America is the land of opportunity" and "the most qualified person should be hired" appear bigoted.  If you were in charge of the UC system, what would you suggest to further foment resentment among the ethnicities and sexes?

Claiming microaggression is a way to control others.  "Here’s an explanation by a professor at Columbia University Teachers College of what microaggression is:"

It's time to ban a certain hate-filled flag

American Thinker   "I'm a big fan of the First Amendment.  I don't like the idea of outlawing speech.  But if the media says that some form of speech is a problem, then I think we should immediately ban it.  I'm thinking in particular of one hate-filled flag that incites violence among many people, especially in the South.  If a flag is a cause of such violence, shouldn't we ban it?

 Why are so many illegals committing crime?  I believe that it is because of their Mexican nationalist ideology, which is fomented by foreign nationalist symbols like the Mexican flag, which now increasingly flies in America in places like here, here, here, and here.
