Our Dangerous Historical Moment

"Obama and European leaders are repeating the mistakes of their 1930s predecessors."

Victor Davis Hanson

"World War II was the most destructive war in history. What caused it?

"The panic from the ongoing and worldwide Depression in the 1930s had empowered extremist movements the world over. Like-minded, violent dictators of otherwise quite different Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan, and the Communist Soviet Union all wanted to attack their neighbors.

"Yet World War II could have been prevented had Western Europe united to deter Germany. Instead, France, Britain, and the smaller European democracies appeased Hitler.

"The United States turned isolationist. The Soviet Union collaborated with the Third Reich. And Italy and Japan eventually joined it.

"The 1930s saw rampant anti-Semitism. Jews were blamed in fascist countries for the economic downturn. They were scapegoated in democracies for stirring up the fascists. The only safe havens for Jews from Europe were Jewish-settled Palestine and the United States.

"Does all this sound depressingly familiar?" . . .

Op-Ed President Obama: Our fight against violent extremism

LA Times

. . . "This week, we'll take an important step forward as governments, civil society groups and community leaders from more than 60 nations gather in Washington for a global summit on countering violent extremism. Our focus will be on empowering local communities.  "  

. . .

."Obama gets twisted up in his own illogical logic. He goes on to say: “Al Qaeda and ISIL and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. They try to portray themselves as religious leaders — holy warriors in defense of Islam. That’s why ISIL presumes to declare itself the ‘Islamic State.’ And they propagate the notion that America — and the West, generally — is at war with Islam. That’s how they recruit.” But Mr. President, how could they recruit if they get Islam so wrong? How can previously “moderate Muslims” be moved to slaughter, rape, and conquer in the cause of Islam if ISIS, ISIL, al qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, mujahadeen have it so wrong? 

Joe Biden – Vice President Quagmire

American Glob   "The Washington Free Beacon has compiled a video of Joe Biden’s grabbiest moments. That deafening silence you’re hearing in the background is progressive feminists."  

           

Apparently Joe Biden Loves The Smell Of Women’s Earlobes

Cornell Students Still Upset over $350 Fee over Healthcare

Accuracy In Academia  "ObamaCare for Students isn’t working out for Cornell, which has seen significant protests on campus and in writing about the $350 fee for not buying the university’s healthcare plan."

Obamacare awakenings: What a difference a few years makes   "The only aspect about anything Obamacare-related that’s “free” is the schadenfreude. The pitiful thing is that another politician will tell her similar lies and she’ll fall for it all over again. Repeat offender morons are how we’ve ended up in so much trouble. "

Obama: To Beat ISIS, We Must ‘Invest’ in ‘Education and Skills and Job Training’

Saving the Republic When government uses the word "invest", hang on to your wallet.

. . . "ISIS and all the other islamic extremists groups couldn’t careless about their economic situation. Money and higher education are not their motivation to strike seeking world domination. These monsters want to take us back to the 7th century by bringing the world to end times to hasten the return of the islamic messiah, Mahdi. Obama and all his minions pushing this bs are going to get people killed."

GASP: Is Taylor Swift 'Rolling Her Eyes?' Perfect Example Of Media Manipulation

ChicksOnTheRight  "This is a perfect example of Hollywood media bias.

"Taylor Swift was seated next to Sarah Palin at SNL's 40th anniversary special Sunday, but gossipy, dramatic hosebeasts over at Hollywood Life decided to spur some artificial drama, asserting Taylor Swift's hatred for Sarah Palin." . . .

. . . "Except that's pure fabrication. They have no proof whatsoever that Swift was "eye rolling" because her seating placement. They completely made that up. Because OF COURSE they did.

"In reality, she was looking at a TV monitor, and that's clear when you look at the FULL photo."

"This is how Hollywood manipulates the political world. The wicked witches of Hollywood can’t face reality. Truth is either too boring or too offensive, so they make crap up as they go along, expecting the sheeples to go along with it."

‘The Mentalist’ Ends with Strong Affirmation of Show’s Uncommon Values

Liberty 21 Institute

. . . "Although Jane had a tragic past—his wife and teenage daughter were murdered by a serial killer whom Jane finally identified and brought to justice (execution, in fact), in the series’ penultimate season—he largely kept depression at bay and made a new life for himself by catching murderers while seeking the identity of the murderer of his wife and daughter, a serial killer known as Red John. Although Jane was far from perfectly content, that was understandable given the magnitude of his loss. It was a marvel to watch a modern TV drama continually convey the beauty of self-reliance and refusal to indulge in self-pity." . . .

. . . "That became a problem for The Mentalist as the show wore on: the unrealistic nature of the hunt, with the preternaturally brilliant and manipulative Jane continually thwarted in his pursuit of Red John. The dance went on a season or two too long, for my taste, but the other qualities of the show sustained interest.

GOP DOUBLE-CROSSING TRAITORS

Ann Coulter   . . . "Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven't changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama's single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration. 

"In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. That's like losing a popularity contest to Ted Bundy. 

. . . 

"But voters went ahead and held Obama accountable! Now McConnell is Senate majority leader -- and he claims his hands are tied. 

"McConnell's spokesman at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Brad Dayspring, predicted that Obama's amnesty threat would drive voters to "elect a new Senate (that) will stand up to the president." 
. . .
"To gin up votes, "Republican insiders" told the Washington Examiner last fall that "the results of the midterm elections" would determine how "aggressive" the GOP would be in fighting Obama's amnesty. 

"Voters gave you a blow-out victory, Republicans. You cleaned their clocks. (Have you seen Harry Reid lately?) Where's that promised aggression on amnesty? " . . .

Countering Violent Extremism with Extremists

Blackfive  "President Obama's strategy for dealing with Islamist terrorists is to refuse to call them Islamists and invite their friends and enablers to help him hide the fact. So it is unsurprising that the Countering Violent Extremism Summit this Wednesday 18 Feb, in DC will be a festival celebrating the randomness of man-caused disasters and workplace violence with root causes of poverty, inequality and oppression and all the usual suspects like the Muslim Brotherhood & CAIR will be there advising him. Well at least they HAVE a strategy, right?" 

Take This Hijab And Shove It; A new word coined: "Harfing"

HopeN'Change

. . .  "Gosh, Marie - you're right! Nobody has ever won a war by killing the enemy! At least, not in your brief lifetime. So what exactly can we do to cope with this growing tidal wave of fanatical killers?

"We need to be "fighting them on social media," according to Harf, no doubt alluding to the fierce warriors of Tweet Team Six. And "we need, in the longer term, to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups."

"Root causes like rabid Islamic radicalism - right, Marie? Right...? 

Of course not! The root cause is "lack of opportunity for jobs." No doubt because those profit-seeking (as opposed to Prophet-seeking) bastards from WalMart opened megastores all over the Middle East and put all of the small local businesses out of work.

"But what Hope n' Change finds a little hard to understand is why unemployment is forcing ISIS members to behead and immolate people, while Democrats in the United States routinely suggest that unemployment is actually a liberating experience which encourages the idle citizenry to create works of art, music, and literature."

Marie Harf ignores the First Law of Holes  . . . "Harf has now become a national joke, and it is difficult to see how she can recover any dignity, mich less the gravitas necessary to represent the State Department. Steven Hayward of Powerline suggests a new term be put into play, Harfing. Although he doesn’t define it precisely, I would suggest: “Ignoring the obvious in an effort to deflect attention away from an inconvenient truth.”

"There’s a whole lotta Harfing going on in the era of Obama."

Michelle Malkin: The persistent left-wing myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist is absolute madness.  . . . "How many times do we have to remind the clueless kumbaya crowd that al-Qaida mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri had a medical degree, as did Hamas bigwig Abdel al-Rantisi and the seven upper-crust doctors who helped plan the 2007 London/Glasgow bombings?" . . .

Biden claims to know lots of Somali cab drivers.

A Detroit man stabbed two people at a suburban bus stop after asking his victims whether or not they were Muslim, according to police. Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday.
If this man only had a job this would not have happened.

Watcher's Council Nominations - 'All ISIS Needs Is Jobs' Edition   "Then there's the president's new 'war' request,which ought to be voted down, at least at this time. [This video] tells us why the sort of mindset that prevails in the White House shouldn't be trusted to manage a successful war.

Harf is promoting Great Society liberalism as the answer to “violent extremism.

. . . "Harf cites George W. Bush in support of her thesis (as she also did today on Twitter). Listening to Harf, I find that nuance and subtlety are not the first things that comes(sp) to mind."
