Politically correct Portland rejected feds who saved city from terrorist attack

BELTWAY CONFIDENTIAL "In 2005, leaders in Portland, Oregon, angry at the Bush administration's conduct of the war on terror, voted not to allow city law enforcement officers to participate in a key anti-terror initiative, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. On Friday, that task force helped prevent what could have been a horrific terrorist attack in Portland. Now city officials say they might re-think their participation in the task force -- because Barack Obama is in the White House."

.F.B.I. Says Oregon Suspect Planned ‘Grand’ Attack  "Mr. Balizan identified the suspect as Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, a naturalized United States citizen.

Remembering Bob Clark, Director of "A Christmas Story"

Voice of Lillpop "Yet another Christmas has been made more joyful by being able to watch Bob Clark's delightful film, "A Christmas Story." ....

"Unfortunately for all who love Christmas, Bob Clark has not been around to celebrate Christmas in recent years. That is so because the prolific filmmaker, whose career spanned four decades, was killed in an automobile crash caused by a drunken driver in California in 2007.

"Hector Velazquez-Nava, an illegal alien from Mexico, had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit when he claimed the lives of both Clark and his 22-year-old son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark."

Saudi king urged U.S. to attack Iran: WikiLeaks

Reuters "Saudi King Abdullah has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran's nuclear program and China directed cyberattacks on the United States, according to a vast cache of U.S. diplomatic cables released on Sunday in an embarrassing leak that undermines U.S. diplomacy.

"The more than 250,000 documents, given to five media groups by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, provide candid, tart views of foreign leaders and sensitive information on terrorism and nuclear proliferation filed by U.S. diplomats, according to The New York Times."   Via Taegan D.

Airport "Security"?

Thomas Sowell ""Security" may be the excuse being offered for the outrageous things being done to American air travelers, but the heavy-handed arrogance and contempt for ordinary people that is the hallmark of this administration in other areas is all too painfully apparent in these new and invasive airport procedures.
"Can you remember a time when a Cabinet member in a free America boasted of having his "foot on the neck" of some business or when the President of the United States threatened on television to put his foot on another part of some citizens' anatomy?
"Yet this and more has happened in the current administration, which is not yet two years old."

Wikileaks Completes Obama's Transformation Into Jimmy Carter

Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "Have we lost our minds? Wikileaks is about hurting us, bringing us down, damaging our relations with others, rendering us impotent. This is not about open government policy, as if Wikileaks went a bit too far on its class project.
"Julian Assange should have been indicted by now, and if the law did not allow more punitive measures in this circumstance, then the law should have been changed after the first document dump. Assange is an enemy of our country and should be treated as such.
"Instead, we're writing letters and lecturing on accountable and open government.
"Stick a fork in Obama, he's Jimmy Carter."

Michael Moore Doesn’t Speak for Me

Alfonzo Rachel "I’m sick of white liberals like Michael Moore who patronize black people and try to stay in their good graces by falsely accusing white people of racism, and then try to further validate it with some bogus display of self effacement. This joker is a prime example of how white democrats feel that they’re the ones who are tuned in to the black community. They can speak for us. They know us, and where that notion comes from is due to them thinking that they own us."....
"You know? It should speak volumes that Obama got the youth vote, and not the vote of the matured. Hello! The matured have had some time to think through some things, live through some things, learn from some things."

Islamic Extremist Targets Facebook Users

Legal Project This is from a month ago but is submitted here for you to know how terrorists can operate.

"Court documents filed last week reveal Islamic extremists have obtained personal contact information on members of the defiant Facebook group "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." Zachary Chesser, who provided the information, pled guilty to "communicating threats" and renounced jihad, but the damage was done. Prosecutors say he "seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come."

"This lasting effect makes it all the more frustrating that authorities did not charge him sooner. He had made very similar threats against the producers of South Park weeks before. The case highlights the urgent need for better legal tools to protect free speech from extremist intimidation."

The few, the proud, the foes of gays in military

Breitbart.com  "The Corps is the youngest, smallest and arguably the most tight-knit of the enlisted forces, with many of its roughly 200,000 members hailing from small towns and rural areas in the South.
"Marines are unabashed about distinguishing themselves from the rest of the military, with a warrior ethos and a religious zeal for their branch of service that they liken to a brotherhood."

Jimmy Carter: North Korea's consistent message to the U.S.

Washington Post  "No one can completely understand the motivations of the North Koreans, but it is entirely possible that their recent revelation of their uranium enrichment centrifuges and Pyongyang’s shelling of a South Korean island Tuesday are designed to remind the world that they deserve respect in negotiations that will shape their future."  Mr. Carter has excelled at giving respect to evil regimes.

"Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war."

US Teen Muslim Arrested after Trying to Explode Car Bomb Moments before a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony

Atlas Shrugs  "The suspect is said to have driven a van to the crowded event, parked and tried to detonate a device using a mobile phone.

"However, the supposed explosive was a fake, supplied to him by FBI operatives.

"Mohamud shouted "Allahu Akhkbar" (God is the greatest) and tried to kick agents as they swooped in on him, prosecutors said.

""The device was in fact inert, and the public was never in danger," the US Attorney's Office has been reported as saying.

""This defendant's chilling determination is a stark reminder that there are people - even here in Oregon - who are determined to kill Americans."

Job-Killer Obama Sets Aside 187,000 Miles For Overpopulated Polar Bears

Gateway Pundit  "Designation of crucial habitat does not in itself block economic activity or other development, but requires federal officials to consider whether a proposed action would adversely affect the polar bear’s habitat and interfere with its recovery.

"It’s decisions like this one that make Obama the worst jobs president since the Great Depression."

Whoopi Goldberg's Ignorance

American Thinker "Since I'm well aware of how leftists' claims of erudition are as empty as their ideology, not many of their failures surprise me. But an exception came last night when Whoopi Goldberg was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly. The two were discussing their differing views on the nature of the Islamic threat, with O'Reilly maintaining that we have a "Muslim problem" and Goldberg insisting that, no, we have a "terrorist problem." In typical leftist style, she even went so far as to rationalize away the threat, implying at one point that terrorists were as likely to be white guys as anyone else. But as ridiculous as this denial of reality is, it was followed by an admission of ignorance that was truly staggering. It occurred during the following exchange: "
