More Enforcement of Islamic Blasphemy Laws in the West: Former Czech PM sued over statements on Islam

Atlas Shrugs  Prague, July 7 (CTK) – Retired politician Milos Zeman, Czech prime minister in 1998-2002, faces a criminal complaint over the statements on Islam he made in June at an international conference on Europe.
“The enemy is the anti-civilisation spreading from North Africa to Indonesia. Two billion people live in it and it is financed partly from oil sales and partly from drug sales,” Czech news servers quoted Zeman as saying about Islam at the recent conference
.
Zeman said Thursday Muslims believe in the Koran like Nazis believed in racial supremacy and anti-semitism and communists in class struggle and dictatorship of the proletariat.
He said Islam is far more aggressive and intolerant than present Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism and other world religions.
He added that the Koran includes passages calling for the subjugation, enslavement and even elimination of non-believers.

The Great Madness of 2004-10

Victor Davis Hanson  "I went on with:"

Let us just hope Obama gets reelected. We could get food stamp usage from 50 up to 80 million where it belongs, expand home defaults and allow people just to “live” in “their” homes without foreclosures from the “greedy” banks. We all need time anyway to “be creative” and “leave your work.” Thirty million more could be given the chance to emigrate from Mexico without worry over a Gestapo-like border patrol. We could have ten Rose Bowl crowds booing an awful U.S. per week.
"I thought he was still on the line, so I ended with, “And I didn’t even mention Obamacare with its 400,000 new jobs and lower health care costs for all of us! Who could be against Obama after that?”
"But he had hung up and thought I was crazy."

George Will to Donna Brazile: Obama and Dems Have Kicked the Deficit Can So Much It's 'Can Abuse'

Newsbusters  "GEORGE WILL: Before we have a moratorium I hope on the can metaphor, let’s look at who’s been kicking the can down the road. Democrats started kicking the can down the road when they stopped writing budgets. The President kicked the can down the road by appointing a deficit commission. Then he kicked it again down the road by ignoring the deficit commission. Then he submitted a budget in February that no one on either side of the House would support that promised to increase the deficit. That’s a lot of kicking. That’s can abuse.

Jennifer Rubin: The Rose Garden collapse  "Unfortunately for the administration, both the Republicans in Congress and the country at large aren’t buying this formula. They know the problem is out-of-control spending. The know that hiking taxes while the job market deteriorates is ludicrous. Now all that remains is for Republicans to craft a deal that adheres to those principles."

The Elmendorf Rule

Charles Krauthammer "A clever strategy it is: Do nothing (see above); invite the Republicans to propose real debt reduction first; and when they do — voting for the Ryan budget and its now infamous and courageous Medicare reform — demagogue them to death. (Emphasis added)
"And then up the ante by demanding Republican agreement to tax increases. So: First you get the GOP to seize the left’s third rail by daring to lay a finger on entitlements. Then you demand the GOP seize the right’s third rail by violating its no-tax pledge. A full-spectrum electrocution. Brilliant."

Democratic 'Trackers' Skulk Around GOP Events

Newsmax.com "Democratic groups are sending "trackers" to Republican rallies and events in the hopes of catching GOP candidates making campaign-ending verbal gaffes.
"According to The New York Times, Democratic organizations like American Bridge 21st Century employ full-time workers to carry high-tech video cameras to GOP events where candidates interact with voters. They also staff a headquarters where a video archive is compiled, ready to be used at the right moment during the campaign season.
"The goal is to use candidates' own mistakes against them, dealing a knockout blow in the process."

Media Matters and Dem Groups Form Organization to Track GOP Candidates with Army of Videographers  "Republicans also have trackers, but so far have not assembled the kind of centralized video archive of political caught-on-tape moments that their rivals envision. “Our obligation here is to get these guys on the record with what they really believe so they can’t walk away from their record,” said Rodell Mollineau, a former aide to Senator Harry Reid of Nevada and the group’s president. "

New Haven Independent ...“With trackers, it’s hard to maintain privacy or ability to have off-the-record conversations, and that, I think, is damaging,” noted blogger Aldon Hynes. “It’s especially damaging in that it promotes ‘gotcha’ journalism that misses the context of the story.”

....
"Occhiogrosso’s campaign had a guy with a video camera following Lamont around, too. Asked if he was tracking Lamont, the camera man (at right in photo) replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”"



As this article states, Democrats also spy on Democrats.

Holder's Justice Department bullying banks

Thomas Lifson  "A cadre of racialists bent on achieving social justice via reparations from banks to minority communities has been installed by Eric Holder in the Department of Justice. They are using legal bullying tactics to intimidate banks into once again loaning mortgage money to people who have no ability to pay it back. Banks have even been forced to post signs in the facilities informing customers that welfare payments can count as income to apply to mortgage applications."

Some reasons Obama should not have been elected

The Astute Blogger  "WHAT THE FOLKS OBAMA WANTS TO CHAT WITH ARE UP TO: TALIBAN MURDER DOZENS MORE IN AFGHANISTAN"THESE ARE THE FRUITS OF APPEASEMENT. THE WEAKER YOU LOOK, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE BECOMES THE ENEMY." "

Obama's Plan for $10 Gas  "In fact, Obama's energy policies have created the worst of all possible worlds for American consumers: higher prices and continued dependency on imported oil."

The ‘Regretful Obama Voter’ Speaks   "My transition didn’t happen because I realized conservatives were honest, it happened because I realized liberals were not. It was not an easy transition, it was emotionally painful and I fought on some deep level. I fought it because I could not believe that people I trusted (liberal media) could possibly be dishonest."

"It started as I began to hear Obama push the first stimulus with, what appeared to be, pork spending, yet he had campaigned against it. I began to distrust him."

GOP Congressman on Obama: ‘The Man’s Got No Shame’  "Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) responded to President Obama's charge that Republicans are "holding a gun to the heads of the American people.""

Red Tape Rising: Obama’s Torrent of New Regulation  "These costs will affect Americans in many ways, raising the price of the cars they buy and the food they eat, while destroying an untold number of jobs. With the enactment of new health care laws, financial regulations, and plans for rulemaking in other areas, the regulatory burden on Americans is set to increase even further in the coming year." Heritage.

Victor Davis Hanson : The Evidence of a Bankrupt Populism   "That is the real legacy of the Obama administration: In a way the most extreme right-wing nut could not, Obama has humiliated, embarrassed, and rendered bankrupt seven years of prior dissent, showing it up for what it was all along."

Fear: GOP Will Cave on Sunday, Agree to Hike Taxes with Fake Cuts

Rush Limbaugh "Bill Kristol last night on Special Report on Fox predicted that the Republicans are gonna cave in a very big way on the debt ceiling negotiation. Now, that immediately caught my attention because all through the week I have been pretty steadfast in my confidence that they weren't gonna cave, that they could make Obama cave. If you've been listening all week you know what I've been saying, that Obama is at the weakest a president has been politically in a long time in this country. Why our guys don't realize it, we were talking yesterday, why is it that we continually fear that they fall for decade-old traps that the Democrats set. It's because they do. It's because they sometimes do fall for these traps."....     
"Regardless, apparently the Republicans are feeling pressure from someplace but from the wrong place. They're reacting to the wrong pressure and they're reacting to the wrong people. Obama does the same thing every time, the same thing every time. I've figured out it out. This is what happens. In order to keep the public in the dark about what he's doing and to bypass the usual legislative process, Obama waits until the last minute for everything. He doesn't get involved in talks until the final moments, then when he does get involved, the meetings are in secret. He comes out of the meetings framing the issues and some deal gets cut, and the public really has no idea what the details are until there is a vote."
More here:  The Establishment, Not the Base, is Pressuring Republicans and Lying to Us With Threats of a Dire Default  "The Republicans own this opportunity. All they've gotta do is stop talking about tax increases and revenue. "It is the establishment that is resorting to extortion, saying, in effect, to the House GOP: Give us the new taxes we demand, or Obama will veto the debt ceiling and we will all blame you for the default." Pat Buchanan says, "They're bluffing. The GOP should stand its ground -- and fix bayonets." Lock and load, in other words."

This is what establishment pressure looks like:   "This exercise in history-mangling concluded with the declaration that the Republican cause is barely better than chattel slavery was:"...Read more:

Herman Cain bumper sticker

This masterpiece is from the Neal Boortz site. Thursday I met two men at a McDonalds in Santa Paula, Ca. whose car sported a Herman Cain bumper sticker. After visiting a bit with them, I promised to post this little jewel in the TW today, just for them. TD

This was one of the comments on the sticker in Nealz Nuze:
Noooooo. Come on. Even though this is supposed to be humorous, it's still too race-cardy for me. Let's leave the race card for Obama and his sycophants in the media.
