Dave Barry’s 2014 Holiday Gift Guide (Oops, I meant CHRISTMAS)

Miami Herald 
"The holidays are a super-busy time of year, and it’s too easy, with all the hustle and bustle, to forget about what this season is really all about. So we will remind you: It’s about purchasing high-tech consumer devices at retail.
"This is a tradition that dates back to the Nativity, as we can see in this dialogue among the Three Kings, taken verbatim from the Bible:
"FIRST KING: OK, we just have to follow that star, and it will guide us.
"SECOND KING: Really? That seems kind of vague.

"THIRD KING: Why don’t I get directions from this new technological device I bought at retail?

"FIRST KING: What is it?
"THIRD KING: It’s a primitive GPS, powered by olive oil.
"SECOND KING: What does “GPS” stand for?
"THIRD KING: I have no idea. But it has turn-by-turn directions! 

"Listen."
"GPS: Turn left at the Sphinx.
"FIRST KING: The Sphinx?
"SECOND KING: Apparently it thinks we’re in Egypt.
"FIRST KING: OK, like I said, we follow the star.

"THIRD KING: I’m glad I bought the service agreement.

 Black Males: Murder / Attempted Murder Of White Police Officers
*Very informative article, but the underlying message seems to condemn the integration of the 60s, a message I fervently disagree with. I feel the social influences - many because of liberal policies - have had much more to do with this that integration. I never want to go back to those shameful days when blacks had to take the leftovers of society that were not claimed by whites. However I utterly condemn the racist violence that the left hopes to benefit from; demagogues such as Sharpton and Jackson being the role models for such disgusting business. The Tunnel Dweller.

--White police officers gunned down by Black males:  
    Deceased = 167
    Survived = 20

--Black police officers gunned down by White males:  
   Deceased = 3 
   Injured = 0

Obama Putting at Risk “What’s Best About America”
(Washington, DC)—“As families gather to celebrate the American miracle, many are troubled and in disbelief this Thanksgiving because the President of the United States has “gone rogue” and is abetted by a compliant media,” Mike Flynn, spokesman of Conservative War Chest said announcing the new 2-minute television ad. “Just weeks ago, millions of Americans voted for a new direction in this country. Unfortunately, the President has chosen to slip the surly bonds of politics and ignore the voters,” Flynn added.

"Well said."

Justice Dept Investigation Is Next Chapter In Ferguson Case

Ferguson demonstrators rioted a second night Tuesday with TV cameras airing all the mayhem over the Missouri grand jury's verdict which sided in favor of the Ferguson cop. The rioters smashed the window of a Pay-Less shoe store and looted the place. They took everything except the work boots. Argus Hamilton

"What this incendiary situation does not need is Barack Hussein Obama second-guessing the Grand Jury and telling the looters (in wink-wink nudge-nudge fashion) that they damn well should be angry at filthy awful white people.

The Grand Jury System Is Broken

 

Commentary Magazine   "The announcement of the grand jury’s decision in the Ferguson case could hardly have been worse handled. The prosecutor waited until well after nightfall to make the announcement and the governor, having mobilized the national guard to protect persons and property, kept them in their barracks while the rioters ran wild." 

 

Watch: CNN Reporter Blasts Jesse Jackson Over How Little Sense His Ferguson Rhetoric Makes

Western Journalism  "While Ferguson continues to burn following a grand jury declining to indict Darren Wilson, CNN reporter Don Lemon asked Jesse Jackson a serious question:

“But Reverend, with all due respect, if people need jobs in the community, why would you burn down a store or a place where you could possibly work?”

“If you want a job, if you want to be educated then you go look for a job, you go look for an education, what does it have to do with burning down your neighbor or burning down a store that someone needs for their livelihood?” Lemon continued.
“Someone needs the income from that store. That is their job. Someone needs that income to pay their bills. What does one have to do with the other?”

"The Rev. stalled but then sidestepped the question, saying that the disproportionate ratio of black/white police officers and firefighters led to an “irrational dimension of pain.”

Victor Davis Hanson on the past six years of Obama

Explaining Away Obama

 

"The only mystery about the last six years is how much lasting damage has been done to the American experiment, at home and abroad. Our federal agencies are now an alphabet soup of incompetence and corruption ^[1]. How does the IRS ever quite recover ^[2]? Will the Secret Service always be seen as veritable Keystone Cops? Is the GSA now a reckless party-time organization ^[3]? Is the EPA institutionalized as a rogue appendage of the radical green movement with a director who dabbles in online pseudonyms ^[4]? Do we accept that the Justice Department dispenses injustice or that the VA can be a lethal institution for our patriots? Is NASA now a Muslim outreach megaphone ^[5] as we hire Russia, the loser of the space race, to rocket us into orbit?

"Will anyone again ever believe a U.S. red line, step-over line, or deadline? Will Iran ever accept that it should not have a bomb or fear the consequences of trying to get one? Is Iraq (omnis effusus labor) a sort of rescued Eurydice that was abruptly lost on the trek up from the Underworld? Will Afghanistan become Saigon, 1975? How could Putin ever again be worried about offending a U.S. president, or could China or North Korea? Are we now always to be allies of Islamist Turkey and indifferent to its enemies like our once-allied Kurds, Cypriots, Greeks, and Israelis?" ...

... "For liberals for whom power is the true goal, California is seen as a success because there are no more conservatives like Ronald Reagan or Pete Wilson in statewide office. Over the last 30 years, unchecked illegal immigration, an influx of high-income urban liberal professionals to the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, and a steady exodus of the white middle and working classes explain why this liberal blue state has the largest number of both poor and wealthy people in the nation — and a shrinking conservative percentage of the electorate.

"But is the California progressive future applicable throughout the United States?... Full article.

Luis Gutirrez: The Immigration Demagogues

"Hoping for surrender on amnesty, Representative Luis Gutierrez demagogues and bullies."

  John Fund

 

"Al Sharpton, make some room to your left. The Reverend Sharpton now has a competitor for the title “demagogue in chief” of American politics. Representative Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, Congress’s most outspoken advocate for immigration amnesty, appeared on MSNBC after President Obama announced his executive actions and was asked by Rachel Maddow why Republicans were opposing Obama. Gutierrez’s reasoned response was: “If you want to make it about people from Latin America, if you want to use xenophobia, if you want to use bigotry and hatred and [the president], then you want to mix up the facts.”

 

Gutierrez has followed up sound-bite missiles like that with something akin to a victory lap through America’s urban areas. He tells immigrants it is “my responsibility, now that [Obama] has done the executive action, to sign up as many people as possible.” That means getting them to pre-register for the time next year when applications will be available for what is likely to lead to amnesty.

Univision's Ramos To Journalists: 'Stop Pretending We're Neutral'

" 'We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.' " 

Well, who do you call "victims"? Those who are oppressed by the strong-arm robbers like Michael Brown, or do you consider Brown to be the victim of that shopkeeper?

Who demonstrates in support of the owners and employees of the destroyed businesses? Are those calling for the deaths of white people victims? When black youths punch unsuspecting passers-by, then dance over their prostrate form, just who do you call "oppressed"?

Are those who cry to "burn this b---h down!" to be considered oppressed? Apparently Mr. Ramos would say so.

Truth Revolt

 

... "During his speech before the group of journalists and media executives, Ramos made the case for journalists to drop the facade of impartiality and to use their voices and influence not just to inform but as activists to change policy:

" 'The best of journalism happens when we take a stand: when we question those who are in power, when we confront the politicians who abuse their authority, when we denounce an injustice," Ramos said. "The best of journalism happens when we side with the victims, with the most vulnerable, with those who have no rights. The best of journalism happens when we, purposely, stop pretending that we are neutral and recognize that we have a moral obligation to tell truth to power."

Maybe nonsense to power?

Brand Unawareness

Kevin D. Williamson 

... "Russell Brand is — let’s get this out of the way up front — a dope, a witless Hollywood poseur who having made himself a splendid fortune and having been cured of his various addictions now seeks new avenues of satisfaction. The progression is a common one among celebrities: To be paid handsomely is not enough, the sexual rewards are not enough, to be famous is not enough, to be celebrated is not enough — the hungry ego demands to be admired and respected, and the clown wants the world to know that underneath his makeup is the face of a Serious Man." ...
