Answering racial conflict with love and truth

American Thinker  "I thought I would share my perspective as a conservative Christian father who recently adopted a black teenage son during this time of media and activist inspired racial conflict.

"No doubt, some number of Americans refused to vote for President Obama on the basis of his race.  But whatever the number, it is dwarfed by the number of Americans who voted FOR him on the basis of his race.  At no point in our history and in few places on earth is racism less of a problem.

""Yet 80% of young blacks and more than 50% of young whites say that racism is a "major problem."  How can that be?  Quite simply, because they've been taught that.  We now know (shouldn't we have examined the evidence first?) that police don't shoot black suspects resisting arrest any more than they do whites, according to the research of Dr. Roland Fryer, a Harvard professor who had the courage to bring some veritas into this national discussion.  Better, as a black man, he'll even get to keep his job.

"But why would the news media deliberately perpetrate a hoax on America that has led to the execution murders of multiple police officers and many more innocent black citizens killed in the ensuing lawlessness created by a neutered police force?  In a word, politics." . . .

On the Baton Rouge police executions

Cleveland Police Association President Steve Loomis: Obama "Has Blood On His Hands"   "The president of the Untied States validated a false narrative and the nonsense that Black Lives Matter and the Media are pressing out there to the public — He validated with his very divisive statements And now we see an escalation. 
"This has got to end. 
"We need some leadership in this country to come forward and put an end to this. " . . .

Baton Rouge shooter identified as Gavin Long, 29 . . . "Long served in the U.S. Marines and received an honorable discharge in 2010, CBS News reports, quoting an unnamed military source. CBS also describes Long as a black male." . . .Sounds very tentative to me.

Weasel Zippers  "One of officers killed, identified by his cousin. This is Officer Montrell Jackson and his son.  Baton Rouge police have an appreciable number of officers who are black, so if you're trying to set up an ambush to kill officers, you may very well get black officers. Apparently black lives(if they were cops) didn't matter to these killers."

Officer Jackson and his son.

Pence: "We Cannot Have Four More Years Of Apologizing To Our Enemies And Abandoning Our Friends"

RealClear Politics   . . . "History teaches us that weakness arouses evil. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's foreign policy of leading from behind, moving red lines, failing resets is a testament to this truth of history, and we must bring a change to America's standing in the world.

"We cannot have four more years of apologizing to our enemies and abandoning our friends. America needs to be strong for the world to be safe. On the world stage, Donald Trump will lead from strength. He will rebuild the arsenal of democracy, stand with our allies and hunt down and destroy our enemies of freedom." . .  .

Watch Governor Pence's entire speech here:
Even Chris Matthews loved it., But then even Obama gave him a thrill up his leg.


The liberal media is trashing Pence now.

An Armed Citizenry Can Frustrate and Deter Vehicle Attacks

"France for all its centralized police forces, massive internal military deployments, and draconian gun control law is now beset by a violent Islamist onslaught against a mostly cowed and defenseless population, with jihadist attackers causing heavy civilian losses at every turn.  And this, along with open immigration and a stagnated state dominated economy is the model that Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party would have the United State emulate.  That seems to be a pretty good model for Republicans to run against."

Jonathan F. Keiler  . . . "France is one of the world’s most restrictive nations when it comes to ownership of firearms, yet saw its people helplessly victimized by an armed (the driver also apparently carried a pistol though seemingly without effect) and brutal attacker without effective recourse, despite enhanced security efforts in the country. " . . .
. . . 
"Specifically, in the case of the bulldozer (or front-end loader) attacks on Israelis a few years ago, at least two were ended by armed civilians or off duty soldiers, while most other attacks have been thwarted or shortened by police or on-duty soldiers.  The U.S. doesn’t have anything like the number of armed police, paramilitary border police, and armed soldiery in and around its cities as Israel does.  But we do have millions of armed civilians who could foil or mitigate such attacks in such a situation.  And for those that will say that a civilian with a typical concealed carry handgun (of say modest size and caliber) could not stop a terrorist in a truck, take a look at the video showing the conclusion of the attack in Nice, where police engage the attacker with handguns, likely little different from what many citizens carry in America today. At the very least they could put out a tire, distract or injure the driver, or otherwise reduce the likely deadliness of such an attack."

Globalist Obama: Terrorists, Racist Cops Are ‘Chronic Impulses’ to Be Defeated by Global Elites

This must be about what it would be like to have Jerry Brown as president.

BIG GOVERNMENT

Obama did not say anything complimentary about Christianity or the United States, even though he is the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military and is the chief of law enforcement in the United States, whose members have been fighting for the nation against the nation’s enemies who describe themselves as Islamic armies.

"After mentioning the Nice attack and hinting at the police engagements, Obama sketched out his demand for globalist fix for the “chronic violence” that he says is caused by competing racial, national and religious solidarities;

I think have to step back [from the Nice attack] and reflect on what we are doing to eliminate this kind of chronic violence. It’s been a difficult several weeks in the United States.  But the divide … is between people who recognize the common humanity of all people and are willing to build [international] institutions that promote that common humanity, and those who do not — those who would suggest that somebody is less than them because of their tribe, or their ethnicity, or their faith, or their color.  And those impulses [for solidarity] exist in all our countries.  And those impulses, when we do not speak out against them and build strong institutions to protect people from those impulses, they can take over, they can be unleashed — so that all of us [international leaders] have responsibilities.

"For Obama, everyone –jihadis and cops, Catholics and capitalists, atheists and Australians — must subordinate their political, religious and legal affiliations to the greater authority of a single globalist power." . . .

Not one mention of going after the head of the terrorist organization.

Same old platitudes  "Bring them to justice".

Blah, Blah, Blah…Hillary Speaks. . . . "This woman must never again get close to the White House.  She is a short-sighted politician, the opposite of what we need.  She will get many of us, if not all of us, killed." She is cut from the same cloth as Mr. Obama.

‘Radical Islam’: Obama Won’t Say the Words, and Has No Answer
. . . " What do we believe? And for what values, if any, are we willing to die? Obama does not say. And so we continue to lose." . . .

. . . What the west needs is a bigger cause around which to rally, in order to resist and eventually crush radical Islam. The roots of that cause are in our classical liberties, which are closely entwined with the Judeo-Christian values that are our cultural inheritance (even for those who rail against those values).

That we have no values is evident in Democrat Party causes, conventions, and in what we see coming to schools and other institutions from today's "progressives". Morally, America is becoming a softer target for terrorists and bankrupt revolutionary causes. TD

California Adds LGBT History To Curriculum, Starting In Second Grade (UPDATED)

First you were afraid to go to the movies, then you feared what your family would see on TV; now you are afraid to send them to school. And these people rip home-schoolers! Give Democrats more terms in Congress and the White House, then see what happens to our culture. TD

Weasel Zippers

Now they may not know as much about Washington, Lincoln, Doctor Martin Luther King or Roosevelt as they will about Boy George and Liberace.

"Via Red Alert Politics: 

In history class, you probably learned about Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white man, but you probably didn’t learn about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California.

But that’s all about to change — at least in California.

The State Board of Education has approved curriculum changes to include milestones in the LGBT rights movement and contributions by gay Americans.

Legislation passed five years ago required schools to add LGBT Americans to the list of social and ethnic groups included in K-8 curriculum and textbooks.

“California’s law took effect in January 2012, but its implementation was slowed by attempts to overturn it, competing educational priorities and budget cuts that stalled work on drafting recommendations for the school board and textbook purchases,” ABC News reported.

The changes will impact elementary, middle school, and high school history and social science instruction.

Starting in second grade, students will learn that some families have two moms or two dads. In fourth grade, they will learn about the nation’s first gay rights organizations established in the 1950s, and California’s role in the movement. In middle school, students will learn about gender roles in the 18^th and 19^th century and instances when they were broken. The education will continue throughout high school, up to the 2015 Supreme Court marriage decision and the current court cases involving transgender student rights and bathroom access.

Opponents who attempted to repeal the law argued that parents should decide when and how their children are exposed to the subject of sexual orientation; others argued the new requirements will take away from learning about other important historical figures and events." . . .

UPDATE: Bill violates religious freedom on campus   "Passed by the state Senate and now pending in the Assembly, Senate Bill 1146 is a flawed measure that denies faith-based universities in California the ability to function based on religious beliefs and constitutional principles.

Although this may not be the intention of Sen. Ricardo Lara and his colleagues, the bill is discriminatory and violates the First Amendment and freedom of religion.

"The overall assumption of SB 1146 is that it protects gay, lesbian and transgender students against discrimination at private Christian universities. However, this overlooks the devastating impact on constitutional freedoms. Tens of thousands of students in California, many of them first-generation and people of various nationalities, will potentially have their college choice limited." . . .

. . . 

""The passage of SB 1146 would have a profound negative impact upon all California faith-based students and the universities that have successfully integrated higher education with spirituality.

"It’s critical for California to continue offering students a wide array of opportunities to further their education by allowing universities that have successfully integrated spirituality within its curriculum and campus life to remain intact. Therefore, we must find common ground in Sacramento. "

Common ground sounds like sacrificing some principles.

NY Post imagines Ginsburg as 'Darth Bader'

The Hill "Republicans and Democrats alike have criticized Ginsburg for making such politically charged comments."

I visualize a plan to have her step down, purportedly because of this incident in order that Obama can select the next vacancy instead of Trump. Just in case Hillary loses, though the conventional wisdom is that with Trump being her opposition, the Presidency is hers to lose. TD

MSNBC LABELS NICE TERROR ATTACK ‘TRUCK CRASH’

"Media organizations blame everything but the attacker"

Infowars

"The terror attack in Nice, France, which took the lives of 84 people after a Tunisian born man drove through a crowd on Bastille Day, is being called a “truck crash” by MSNBC.

"Even after the incident was determined to be deliberate and the identity of the perpetrator was discovered – 31-year-old local Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel – the media outlet continued to portray the attack as though it were accidental." . . .

The Obama effect of American society

"Willful blindness has metastasized from a dangerous dereliction of duty to a system of governance."

 Andy McCarthy

Obama's shameful record of anti-police rhetoric stretches back to beginning  . . . "Anyone who doubts the extent to which Obama’s presidency has been marked by pronounced distaste for police officers — especially white ones — need only look to the litany of ideologically motivated, anti-police statements the president has made since he assumed office." . . .

When Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson while in the process of assaulting Wilson and trying to take his gun, Obama did not call for calm or tell people to wait until the full facts of the case were known.

 Later, when Freddie Grey was killed in the custody of black police officers who report to a black police chief in a city governed by a black mayor, Obama once again blamed racism against blacks. "This is not new, and we shouldn't pretend that it's new," 

"These fatal shootings are not isolated incidents," he wrote. "They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year," Obama added.

Larry Klayman Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Obama And Black Lives Matter   "Because he believes the Commander-In-Chief is colluding to initiate/foment racial divide and violence against whites, Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch, has filed a class action lawsuit against Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and the Black Lives Matter movement." . . .

The defendants are accused of  “inciting the imminent serious bodily injury and killing of police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians by convincing their supporters and others that there is a civil war between blacks and law enforcement, thereby calling for immediate violence and severe bodily injury or death in response to that non-existent and fictitious threat.”

'Terrorists' smuggled into Europe with refugees, Merkel says

Muslim journalist blames France for Nice terror attack

Joe Newby

"It seems that whenever a terrorist attack takes place, certain segments try to blame everyone and everything except the person or persons who actually committed the attack.  The recent slaughter of over 80 people in Nice, France, is no different.  According to Roshan Salih, the editor of the British Muslim website 5Pillars, the French are to blame for what happened earlier in the week, the Daily Caller reported.

"Salih explained in a tweet sent Friday that the attack happened because “France is an Islamophobic nation..' ” . . .

Well, it is true that I am a beheadophobic.

"A statement posted by ISIS supporters, a security source said that “the person who carried out the run over in Nice, France, is one of the Islamic State soldiers and carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of the coalition which is fighting the Islamic State.”

"So it wasn’t the French, it wasn’t the Tea Party, the NRA or the truck itself — it was a terrorist attack carried out by a (brace yourself) terrorist."
