The sources of Obama’s tragic Syria policy

PowerLine   "Caroline Glick presents a powerful indictment of the Obama administration’s foreign policy. Perhaps the most damning part of her indictment pertains to Syria, where Obama’s impotence in the face of Assad’s crossing of a “red line” by engaging in chemical warfare represents a national embarrassment and humanitarian disaster.
"President Obama’s impotence stems from his well-justified fear that intervening against Assad would bring radical Islamists to power. But according to Glick, it is Obama’s fault that radicals have come to dominate the Syrian opposition:"   Ms. Glick's article here.

DHS Employee: ‘In Order For Blacks to Survive, A Lot Whites Need To Be Killed’



"While we continue to hear how racist most of the country is, especially following the George Zimmerman trial and the President’s remarks on the verdict, a manager at the Department of Homeland Security has been running a website that spews inflammatory, race-based attacks. His site advocates the “mass murder of whites” and calls for an ethnic cleansing of “Uncle Tom race traitors.”
"The manager in question is Ayo Kimathi, but calls himself “Irritated Genie” on his website. While at his day job and not calling for a race war, he is in charge of buying weapons and ammunition for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department, a truly frightening combination."

The comments to this post are as troubling as this man's statements. We must be aware of people like this and protest their inclusion in this  administration, but please remember that many African- Americans are troubled by this man's philosophy as well.

IRS is targeting the American Legion with new set of guidelines

The Daily Caller   "The Internal Revenue Service is targeting the veterans’ organization the American Legion, and a U.S. senator believes that Lois Lerner — a key figure in the IRS scandal – is to blame.
 '“The IRS now requires American Legion posts to maintain dates of service and character of service records for all members… The penalty for not having the required proof of eligibility is, apparently, $1,000 per day,” the American Legion stated."


 

Marching Muslims now say they oppose 'fear'

WND  "Those Muslims planning to march in Washington on 9/11, the 12th anniversary of the Islamist-led terror attacks that left nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania dead, need to look at the facts, according a freedom activist.
"A website for what originally was billed as the “Million Muslim March” now has been altered to the “Million American March Against Fear,” but still remains under the sponsorship of the American Muslim Political Action Committee."
“In 11 years since 9/11, the Islamic American community has not organized a one million man march to condemn Islamic terrorism against America and call Hamas, al-Qaida, Hezbollah, al-Shabaab, and other groups by their names – terrorists,” Gabriel said.

Huffington Post calls it a "conservative freakout".

Fury over 'Million Muslim March' scheduled for 9/11 - even thought the Islamic group planning it has only 57 supporters
"Nearly 3,000 people - 2,600 of them Americans - died in the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington when al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four jetliners. The terrorists cited a variety of motivations for the attacks that were based on fundamentalist Islam.
" 'They're basically a bunch of "truthers" who think that America's to blame for everything,' Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, head of the Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Fox.
" 'These guys are problematic and they're trying to exploit 9/11.'"

Collusion: How The Media Stole The 2012 Election – A Book Review

amazon
Noisy Room  "The documentation is first rate and they tell the story that the liberals don’t want you to ever hear. Backed by painstaking references and research, they lay out what happened with bullet proof facts and precision. In fact, the Media Research Center has been doing that for over 15 years. The MRC has been one of my daily haunts for years – they provide real news, not Marxist propaganda.
"This book details just how dishonest the media is, how manipulative and how corrupt they have become. The media stole the 2012 election with a lot of help from progressives on both sides of the aisle. We must not fall for that in 2016, if we make it that far (and I have my doubts). You want to know how the media operates? How bad they really are? Bozell and Graham pull no punches, so dive in. There’s plenty of read meat to tide you over."

Churches changing bylaws after gay marriage ruling

Fear of lawsuits has laid a millstone on the back of American Culture.
AP  "Worried they could be sued by gay couples, some churches are changing their bylaws to reflect their view that the Bible allows only marriage between one man and one woman.
"Although there have been lawsuits against wedding industry businesses that refuse to serve gay couples, attorneys promoting the bylaw changes say they don't know of any lawsuits against churches."

Hasan guilty of, um, workplace violence incident

Major Nidal Hasan Guilty on All Counts in ‘Workplace Violence’ Incident 
"The prosecutor proved conclusively that the attack was premeditated. It’s hard to see how Hasan can avoid the death penalty.
"Don’t bet on the Army changing its designation of the attack as “workplace violence.” If they were to designate Hasan’s rampage as a terrorist attack, it would trigger a series of required actions by the military, including an increase in benefits to survivors. And it would also allow families to collect a lot more money in a civil suit that many survivors are planning to file now that the trial is over."

The choice in Egypt

Charles Krauthammer  "Egypt today is a zero-sum game. We’d have preferred there be a democratic alternative. Unfortunately, there is none. The choice is binary: the country will be ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood or by the military.
"Perhaps it didn’t have to be this way. Perhaps the military should have waited three years for the intensely unpopular Mohamed Morsi to be voted out of office. But Gen.Abdel Fatah al-Sissi seems to have calculated that he didn’t have three years, that by then there would be no elections — as in Gaza, where the Palestinian wing of the Brotherhood, Hamas, elected in 2006, established a one-man-one-vote-one-time dictatorship."
 
Krauthammer boils the issue down to this: 
And which alternative better helps secure U.S. strategic interests? The list of those interests is long: (1) a secure Suez Canal, (2) friendly relations with the United States, (3) continued alliance with the pro-American Gulf Arabs and Jordanians, (4) retention of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, (5) cooperation with the U.S. on terrorism, which in part involves (6) isolating Brotherhood-run Gaza.

Every one of which is jeopardized by Brotherhood rule.
But when has this administration ever safeguarded US interests?

Obama Takes Refuge on Campus

Michael Filozof   "Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that President Obama speaks almost exclusively at colleges and universities in Blue States?"
....
"Obama frequents universities because they are modern-day Potemkin Villages, presenting a façade of presidential popularity. Colleges and universities are guaranteed to produce a crowd consisting of left-wing enthusiasts fawning over Obama. They're entirely dependent on the government for their tax-exempt status, student loans, and massive amounts of grant monies from the government as well.  What's more, universities are secure environments for Obama...."

When I was a rich kid, we were all pro-communist

David Lawrence  "When I was a rich kid living in Great Neck, NY, I remember standing on the lawn of my girlfriend's house and listening to her parents talk about how my girlfriend's grandfather fought for the communists in Spain.  They were proud of him.  While the father puffed his pipe on the lawn of their estate, they pontificated on their sympathy for poor people and their desire to have a classless society."  More

"TV Guide reports the lesbian characters will appear on an episode of “Good Luck Charlie.' ”
One-time Disney child star Miley Cyrus, who starred in the “Hannah Montana” franchise, and since has been active in her advocacy for same-sex marriage tweeted, “I commend Disney for making this step in the light of this generation.”
Media wrestles with how to refer to Manning
"The Associated Press’s widely used stylebook says reporters should use the name and pronouns preferred by a transgender person, even if the person has not changed his or her sexual identity yet. Thus, Manning would be referred to as “she” in AP articles."

Bradley Manning Is Not a Woman "Pronouns and delusions do not trump biology."
