Obama Perpetuates Racial Dissonance

Intellectual Conservative  "What bothers me more than anything is that people who don't know any more than I do, feel they have a right to protest so-called injustice through looting, vandalism and violence as revenge directed toward the innocent."

Big Hollywood on Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus' Sexual Act a Far Cry from Days When Music Mattered
"And I will still offer that, based on the VMAs, with the exception of a few outcroppings of talent, the lunar landscape of quality music is pretty barren. Music as a pop art expression has been replaced with prancing divas, thug rappers, coiffed boy bands or barely legal teen angels whose sexual aggression make this father of an adolescent girl cringe.

Miley Cyrus Grabs Crotch Anew for Promotional Photos    ...."The 20-year-old, who has taken to copying Madonna and Rihanna's favoured crotch grabbing move, tries her hand at it again in one shot, where she makes the lewd gesture in a pair of  PVC black and white checked trousers and a white crop top, in front of a neon Bangerz sign. "

"Cyrus exposes part of her behind in another photograph and flashes her thong underwear in another."

Camille Paglia: Miley Cyrus 'Cringingly Unsexy'  "Critic Camille Paglia says the problem with Miley Cyrus' performance at Sunday's VMAs wasn't that it was “Disgusting!” “Raunchy!” Desperate!” as some reviews would have it. The real concert is that the untalented Cyrus doesn’t understand that sexual eroticism without limits that make that eroticism titillating is pointless."

Obama's rhetoric comes up short compared to past presidents

Ed Lasky  "When a President wants to put adversaries on notice, he and his team members should not preemptively tip their hands or display their weakness.
"The Obama administration does both (as well as reveal our secrets and plans) time and time again.
"What a great commander-in-chief."

Nation’s only black Senator not invited to speak at March on Washington

Red Alert Politics    "Noticeably absent from the speaker line-up at the Let Freedom Ring event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington today: the nation’s only black Senator, Tim Scott.  .... was not invited to participate in the historic event, a spokesperson for the Senator confirmed to Red Alert Politics in an email.
"African-American leaders who did receive an invitation to speak at included Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – who participated in the original March – Martin Luther King III, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and movie stars Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.
Update: Talking Points Memo is reporting that a source involved in planning the March on Washington says Scott wasn’t invited because he declined to attend the event as a spectator.

 

The Good: Health Care Premiums Will Drop or Stay Same Under Obamacare – The Bad: If You Make Less Than $20K Per Year…

Weasel Zippers  "Apparently the only way to benefit from Obamacare is to live near the poverty line."
Via National Journal:

Whether the quality of care in the new market is comparable to private offerings remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: The cost of care in the new market doesn’t stack up. A single wage earner must make less than $20,000 to see his or her current premiums drop or stay the same under Obamacare, an independent review by National Journal found. That’s equivalent to approximately 34 percent of all single workers in the U.S. seeing any benefit in the new system. For those seeking family-of-four coverage under the ACA, about 43 percent will see cost savings. Families must earn less than or equal to $62,300, or they, too, will be looking at a bigger bill.

Barack Obama uses the March on Washington to attack his opponents. This man is shameless

 

UK Telegraph  "Barack Obama's speech on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington was classic Obama: beautifully delivered, moving, deceptive, divisive, frustrating. And, of course, it was far more about Barack Obama than it was Martin Luther King Jr."

....

"And you wonder why Republicans won't deal with this President? He uses a day that ought to be marked by national unity as an opportunity to deliver a stump speech, even though he's not running for election..... Are we here to celebrate America's genius or damn its failures?

It's Super-Media! With the Power to Detect Non-Existent Racism

Ann Coulter "The media's fixation on the Trayvon Martin case, while ignoring much more brutal crimes with clearer racial motivations, is a return to pre-O.J. America.
"The thesis of my book, "Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama" -- out in paperback this week! -- is that after decades of liberals play-acting Racist America, wherein they cast themselves as civil rights champions, and other, random white people as Bull Connor (a Democrat), it all ended with the O.J. verdict.
"That's when white America said, That's it. The white guilt bank is shut down. It was one of the best things that ever happened to America -- especially for black people."

 

CARSON: MLK would be alarmed by black-on-black violence, lack of family values

Dr. Ben Carson "There was a time when blacks were justifiably angry that the larger community discounted their value, but now, ironically, many members of the black community themselves place little or no value on these precious lives that are snuffed out without thought. I think King would be waging a crusade against the marginalization of black lives in America."

The Naming of Leftist Catastrophes

FreedomWorks  "This week, a global warming climate change alarmist group decided it would be great fun to petition the World Meteorological Organization to start naming violent storms after prominent deniers of their theory, despite a complete lack of evidence that violent storms are any more numerous today than in other years: "[W]e propose a new naming system, one that names

extreme storms caused by climate change, after the political makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy.” Well, since the foolhardy pursuit of solutions to this myth, among many others, has caused countless economic and environmental catastrophes, let's turn the tables and name Leftist catastrophes, both economic and environmental, after the prominent progressives who have caused such widespread destruction and suffering."

California pols could target tax status of Boy Scouts, youth groups over 'discrimination'

Joshua Rhett Miller

"California lawmakers are cruising toward a final vote on a bill that could threaten the tax-exempt status of American-as-apple-pie groups — ranging from the Boy Scouts to Little League — if their membership policies are found to be discriminatory. 

"If passed, the bill, SB 323, would remove an exemption from state taxes for any nonprofit youth group that discriminates on the basis of “gender identity, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or religious affiliation.” Well-known organizations like Girl Scouts of the USA, Boy Scouts of America, and Little League International Baseball and Softball were cited in the bill, which was introduced in February by Democratic state Sen. Ricardo Lara." 

MSNBC ratings down double digits

American Thinker  "It appears that even liberals can't stomach the relentlessly partisan slant of MSNBC news coverage, where the president is hyped, his initiatives dutifully praised, and Republicans predictably bashed. Their on air personalities are shrill, their political analysis so banal, it elicits somnolence in most viewers. About the only thing the network has going for it is the untentional hilarity that ensues when the hosts try to turn some Obama failure into a roaring success.
"Can't wait for their coverage of Obamacare rollout next month."

 Maddow's Dishonest Scare Parade on NC Voting  "Last night the great David Webb filled in for Sean Hannity on Fox News. Webb put on Allen West and Juan Williams to talk about urban malaise. The visuals at Fox must have been too much for Rachel Maddow, because she put up an hour-long show designed to scare people about voting rights. Her already small audience might have been even smaller otherwise."

Martin Luther King Jr. celebration fifty years later

La Raza Uses MLK’s “I Have A Dream” Speech Anniversary To Push For Amnesty…

CAIR To Link “Islamophobia” To Civil Rights Movement…
“ 'Islamophobia … is just the latest manifestation of the same intolerance faced by Dr. King and other civil rights leaders of his time,” CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “Like other forms of intolerance, Islamophobia is a threat to our nation’s values and to the social tapestry that continues to draw people to our shores from every nation on earth.' ”

Yet another racism hoax revealed  "But instead, because it is invariably progressives who launch these hoaxes because they just "know" that the racism is out there and want to "illustrate" it, too often the penalties for these crimes are light or nonexistent."

Obama: My speech won't be as 'good' as MLK's But it will be all about Barack Obama.
""We honor them not by giving another speech ourselves — because it won't be as good — but instead by just doing the day-to-day work to make sure this is a more equal and more just society."
"The president also said in the interview that King would have approved of his signature health care law."

The most magnificent thing about Martin Luther King’s 1963 speech was its faith in the American Dream – a dream that today’s radicals laugh and sneer at      "Not for King any mocking of the founding fathers of America, who have in recent years been judged by radical Leftists to have been racist and evil (in the words of The Nation magazine just last month, Thomas Jefferson was a “slave-owning rapist”). Instead, King extolled the “magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence” and talked about all men’s “inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”."

Please tell me how...
