America As A Mental Institution

NANNY STATE: GOVERNMENT WEBSITE TO WARN OF SADNESS/CRYING OVER ECONOMY
Mon Mar 30 2009 1856 ET

The U.S. government is set to offer an online emotional rescue kit!

"Getting Through Tough Economic Times" will launch Tuesday with a media push across all platforms.

The site is meant to help people identify health concerns related to financial worries.

The feds will warn of depression, suicidal thinking and other serious mental illnesses. It will raise warning flags for: Persistent sadness/crying; Excessive anxiety; Lack of sleep/constant fatigue; Excessive irritability/anger.

The guide will be available starting at midnight at http://www.samhsa.gov/economy.

Developing...

Have news for the current administration in regards to this plan: not all Americans are liberals. Now that you know not all people are in need of emotional rescue will likely save you money, you can supplement the emotional rescue kit with a bottle of Prozac. That should come in handy to those who voted for the Light Worker hoping to have their mortgages, car payments and gasoline paid by the government.

Now I Know Why They Call It "Meat Industry"

It's because the meat you buy at the store is coming from vats full of artificial protein processed by photosynthesis:



This idiot should be given a VIP tour of a slaughterhouse.

Obama seeks Muslims for White House posts

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama is conducting his own affirmative action program to get more Muslims in the White House.

The move began with Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn, who took his oath of office with a hand on the Quran, to solicit the resume of what he considered to be the nation's most qualified adherents of Islam.

According to the Denver Post, when White House officials heard about the program, it was put on overdrive.

So far, 45 Ivy League grads, Fortune 500
executives and government officials have been submitted for consideration.


J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, sifted through more than 300 names as part of the search.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."

Ellison is serious about his faith. He made the pilgrimage to Mecca with the sponsorship of the Muslim American Society, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In 1991, Mohamed Akram wrote a memo for the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood that explained its work in America as "a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

I just wonder if the Kenyan will be recruiting any Christians, Hindu or Buddhists as part of his "diversity" campaign.

Unexpected Visitors

Went out hunting today in an area I never hunted before (won't say where) trying to get a coyote or two.
I parked the car on the side of the road, walked down a ravine, sat down, loaded my carbine and started blowing the jackrabbit distress call waiting for Willye E. Coyote to show up. Barely a minute later, I hear something really big running from the ravine below toward me. My first thought was "damn, this can't be a coyote, Mr. Bear is coming for a free rabbit meal". The noise stopped for half minute then resumed again, only this time louder and coming from further back of the place I heard the first noise coming from; clearly sounded like another animal running toward me and coming from the same direction like the first one. "Just my luck, the first noise was mama bear and this one is the cub following her" just went through my mind.
Then I saw them:



Two deer, barely 30 yards away, looking around for the source of the rabbit screams - my Johnny call. Seeing they didn't noticed me, I let another rabit scream go to see if I can make them come even closer; at that moment another movement, same direction and another not one but tree deer came up the hill joining the first two in their search. Five animals in total! Brought in by a rabbit distress call!

That moment I realized I didn't brought the camera with me. Damn! I stood up, and started walking toward them and only then the animals noticed me. Just as they started moving away I remembered I had my cellphone in my pocket; I took it out and managed to take two pictures (the lousy camera phone pics are better than no pics, right?). Only two deer are visible if you look very closely, one in each picture right in the center. The second group of three deer left immediately after I stood up, so I missed the opportunity to take a "group picture" with all 5 of them. I want to share them now with all of you.



Now I know exactly where to look for deer next season opener

Now, This Is Guaranteed To Confuse A Lot Of Leftists...

Anti gay attack in Seattle. Attacker claimed homosexuality “against his religion”

By LEVI PULKKINEN
SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF

Prosecutors have filed hate crime charges against an 18-year-old Seattle man accused of accosting another man on a Metro bus while yelling anti-gay slurs.

Abiazzizi I. Idris has been charged with second-degree attempted robbery and malicious harassment, the state’s hate crime statute, in the March 10 attack.

In court documents, police claim Idris was riding on a Metro coach near the 9000 block of Rainier Avenue South when he slapped the man in the back of the head. He then allegedly asked, using a slur, if he was homosexual.

The man disembarked the bus moments later, followed by Idris and an associate. Police say Idris again approached him, telling the man that homosexuality violates his religion.

Confronted by Idris, the man again said he was not gay. Idris then, police assert, “grabbed the victim around his neck and said ‘Give me $10 and your cell phone and I’ll let you go.’”

The owner of a nearby grocery store spotted the altercation and phoned 911. Police arrived and arrested Idris, who was later identified as the assailant, according to prosecutor’s statements.

Idris remains in King County Jail on $50,000 bail. He has not entered a plea in the case.

The victim’s sexual orientation is not noted in court documents. Under state law, malicious harassment occurs when a defendant threatens someone based on their perception of their sexual orientation or other factor.
Let's see...You have a Muslim man (according to liberals, Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion) attacking a homosexual. Why? Because he claims his religion is feeling violated by the victims sexual preferences.
Now what's the politically correct approach a liberal should take on this issue?

On one side, equal rights and non-discrimination against gay people is a favorite cause of the left. A poor gay guy beaten and robbed because he is gay is a sure case of outrage and condemnation, and not only for the left but for every civilized individual.

On the other side, how can a leftist say a Muslim beat a homosexual? We all know Islam is a religion of tolerance, pink bunnies, etc and it is grossly misunderstood by evil people (mostly conservatives of course). Even if the agressor admitted he did it because of the teachings of his religion, it still must be a cultural thing, nothing to do with Islam whatsoever. And anyway who are we Americans to judge other peoples cultures?

So you see, here is the dilemma: are the leftists gonna side with the homosexual victim or with the Muslim aggressor? Because both causes are dear to the liberals, the rights of the homosexuals and the claim that Islam is a peaceful, non violent religion. What are they gonna do? Gee, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

Look Who Is Doing Great Financially...

"Never let a good crisis go to waste".
Some may think these words were first spoken by Obama's #1 Gauleiter, Herr Rahm Emanuel.
I have my doubts about that. I believe "Dead Fish" Emanuel learned these words from George Soros - scavenger billionaire, former Nazi collaborator, promoter of the one world government and rightful owner of the Democrat Party:


UK's Daily Mail:

'I'm having a very good crisis,' says Soros as hedge fund managers make billions off recession


A hedge fund manager who predicted the global credit crunch has said the financial crisis has been 'stimulating' and the culmination of his life's work.

George Soros, who predicted the global financial crisis twice before, was one of the few people to anticipate and prepare for the current economic collapse.

Mr Soros said his prediction meant he was better able to brace his Quantum investment fund against the gloabal storm.

But other investors failed to take notice of his prediction and his decision to come out of retirement in 2007 to manage the fund made him $US2.9 billion.

And while the financial crisis continued to deepen across the globe, the 78-year-old still managed to make $1.1 billion last year.

'It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work,' he told national newspaper The Australian.

Soros is one of 25, top hedge fund managers from across Wall Street who have defied the credit crunch crisis to reap a total of $11.6billion (£7.9bn) last year.
I have never understood how anti-capitalist liberals let themselves and their ideals to be purchased at wholesale prices by a man who is the embodiment of what they hate most: a capitalist shark. And not just any kind of capitalist shark; the Great White of the financial speculators, a man so ruthless and so greedy he brings entire nations to ruin just to fill up his bank accounts and satisfy his mega-ego.
But...but...but...he's a Mecena, a benefactor for the poor and the hungry he gives millions to underdeveloped countries, liberals cry.
Yes you morons, but that's just another investment of his. He's buying entire countries and their corrupt government for cheap. The Mafia Dons are also helping the poor; that's how their recruit their future soldiers.

Video: Mandatory Volunteerism

Obama promised during the campaign to create a Socialist National Civilian Security Force similar to what they have in other Marxist regimes. Yesterday, the US House took the first step in organizing Dear Leader's dream youth service corp.
The House passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act yesterday. The bill includes language indicating young people will be forced to participate in mandatory national service programs. The bill also states that "service learning" will be a mandatory part of the youth curriculum.
That doesn't sound much like "volunteerism" does it?

Here is a brilliant video illustrating the hypocrisy of president 0bama (yes, I refuse to write with capital letters) and his dangerous, destructive political ambitions to force our kids in his private army, the Obama Jugend (officially known as the National Civilian Security Force).




From the author:

I shot this video before the bill was passed in Congress and the words "mandatory service" were removed -section 6104 of original bill :
http://tinyurl.com/cpdv63

However, I decided to post the video anyway as the fact that "mandatory" was in to begin with is a cause for concern! We must pay attention, that it is not re-introduced in another bill or by Senate. We must stay on our toes!
By these statements made by Rahm Emanuel and Obama, we know mandatory service is on their minds:

You Don't Need To Die In Jihad To Get 72 Virgins

You can buy them at the auction, one by one:

From JawaReport
Romanian Babe Auctions Virginity

(Caracal, Romania) An 18-year-old Romanian student, Alina Percea, has posted an ad on a German-language dating website to auction her virginity. Miss Percea says,

"I am a 108lbs, 5.67 ft tall, brown-eyed Romanian girl. I don't smoke and own a certificate from a gynaecologist which says I am a virgin. I want my first time to be special and not very abrupt."

Obviously, Miss Percea wants to deter any abrupters (abruptionists?) from bidding.

Miss Percea has expressed hopes of receiving 50,000 euros for her nontoxic asset with the added bonus of maybe finding a husband. Unfortunately, with three days remaining in the auction, the going bid for her precious flower is a mere 5,033 euros.

Miss Percea, small entrepreneur looking for foreign investors

Prospective bidders for Miss Percea should follow this link. She is identified as Jungfrau18. Miss Percea also adds:

P.S.: Ich möchte das Auktionsgeld gerne dafür nutzen, um auf die Hochschule zu gehen, aber wenn ich über die gesext-Auktion mein Glück und meine Zukunft fände, wäre das natürlich auch toll.

I think that means she is still in high school.

I am from Romania so I have some insight I wold like to share with my readers:
Domnisoara (Engl. for Miss) Alina recommends herself as being a resident of the town of Caracal, Romania. Caracal is famous nationwide due to a traffic accident happened there at the beginning of the last Century. As the story goes, a Romanian prince decided to get rid of the stupidest, most imbecile subjects of his. After a nationwide IQ test was given to all citizens over 18, the people who scored the worst were rounded up and put in a horse drawn carriage. The driver was then given the order to drive the carriage filled with fools across the border and dump them in the neighboring Bulgaria. Kind of like dumping your trash in your neighbor yard when he's not looking - if you know what I mean.
Long story short: a couple of days later the newspapers reported that somewhere very close to the Southern border in the town of Caracal the horses got spooked in stormy weather by thunders and the carriage filled with morons flipped in a ditch.
Nobody died in the accident; however none of the passengers made it back home because they were too stupid to do so. Instead, they settled down in Caracal where they married and procreated. So that's how the town of Caracal is still famous to this day as the town where the carriage filled with stupid people flipped in a ditch.
I am not surprised at all reading that miss Alina is from Caracal. She seems to be a worthy heir of her exiled ancestors.

Pro-Taliban Journalist Kidnapped, Awaiting Beheading By....Guess Who? The Taliban!

Beverly Giesbrecht (AKA, Khadija Abdul Qahar after converting to Islam), Canadian "journalist" who runs the anti-American, pro-Islamofascist website JihadUnspun has been kidnapped by the very "freedom fighters" she supports.


Beverly...err...Khadija was in Afghanistan working on movie and was trying to make contact with her Taliban heroes when things took a nasty turn for her. Instead of being greeted with Al- Saalam-Aleykum, offered a lamb kabob and a generous portion of baklava, the Islamic savages she supports nabbed her and now she's held for ransom in an unknown location. And guess what? If the Canadian Goverment doesn't pay the Taliban, $375,000 from the Canadian taxpayer money, off with her head!

Here is the Beverly pleading for her life in a video released by the Taliban:



What can I say? The Angel on my right shoulder tells me "she's just a lost soul, pray for her release from the hands of those blood thirsty murderers". But the Devil on my left shoulder wispers in my ear: "the stupid bitch got what she deserved, save the taxpayers some dough"
I don't know who should I listen to.

Oh, bollocks!

"Oh, bollocks."
No, we can't definitively prove that Gordon Brown said that after witnessing a "Wrong Region" code when inserting a DVD given to him by Barack Obama, but we're sure something of the sort was uttered.


You see, the ridiculous DVD region coding system recently prevented the British Prime Minister from viewing a set of 25 "American classics" on DVD, all of which were bestowed upon him by President Obama during a recent visit to Washington, D.C.
We hate to bludgeon a dead mule, but seriously, when will the DRM madness end? Er, on second thought, maybe this is precisely what's necessary to keep those region-free player outlets in business, and thus, the economy strong.

Class: It Is Something You Either Have, Or You Don't

Respecting a tradition going back to the first Presidents of the US (less Clinton or Carter), Bush refuses to criticize the current President
Quote:
"I love my country a lot more than I love politics," Mr Bush said in Calgary, Canada. "I think it is essential that he (Obama) be helped in office."
Until Carter and Clinton who trampled this unwritten rule under their feet, it was a big taboo for an outgoing President to bash on the incoming President. I know it sure would be easy for Bush to say something like, "It's a lot harder than it looks isn't it Barak?"...
Yet Bush doesn't say a word about the performance of the current White House resident and on the contrary he asks the American people to support Obama.

Meanwhile at the White House, Obama found the culprit for the current economic mess. It's Bush, of course. The fact that for 5 years we enjoyed unprecedented economic growth combined with record low unemployment numbers and the economic downturn coincided with the Democrats gaining control of the Congress, that's just a coincidence.

Yep...it is true what they say about class. You either have it or you don't.

Shooting Back Works

So true...but the gun hating liberals will just ignore logical arguments like this until they're blue in the face

Shooting Back Works

By Jeff Knox

(March 11, 2008) The media and gun control advocates insist that the easy availability of firearms is a problem; that increased firepower equals increased death toll; that the key to stopping armed violence is restricting gun sales and prohibiting lawful firearm possession in certain public places. They’re wrong. They have always been wrong and their misguided tampering comes with a very high price – people’s lives.

In the past year there have been a number of very high profile cases of a lone lunatic walking into a public place and indiscriminately shooting people. Such incidents are aberrations, unpredictable, unstoppable, and relatively unusual. The best indicator that someone might attempt such an atrocity is not how available guns are or how efficiently background checks are conducted, but the level of news coverage generated by the last such tragedy because so many of these cowards are motivated by a desire for their own 15 minutes of fame. Since the media refuses to stop rewarding these murderers, the best that can be hoped for is to mitigate the damage when they strike. In the final analysis, the difference between a crazed bad guy killing several people and a crazed bad guy killing dozens of people is almost always the length of time it takes for good guys with guns to arrive on the scene. Three attacks in the past year offer graphic proof of this fact.

A lunatic armed with two pistols, a .22 and a 9mm, walks into a college class building and begins randomly shooting people as he goes from classroom to classroom. Months later and thousands of miles away, a lunatic armed with a semi-auto AK and a 9mm pistol begins randomly shooting people as he walks into a crowded church building. A few months later and halfway around the world, a lunatic armed with a full-auto AK-47 machinegun and plenty of extra ammunition walks into a college library and begins randomly shooting people.
Three similar scenarios with three strikingly, and unexpectedly different outcomes. None of the attacks could have been reasonably predicted or prevented. All three attacks were planned out well in advance. All three attackers were on suicide missions with the objective of killing as many people as possible before being killed themselves. All three murderers sought a twisted form of fame and glory and were willing to die to achieve it. All three also knew that the more people they killed, the more famous they would be. All three demonstrated basic proficiency with their weapons, but none of the three was known to have had any formal firearms training.

Most would expect that the biggest differences in the shootings would be related to the weapons used and the time it took for police to respond. In fact, police response in all of the attacks was relatively quick, but when the difference between life and death is mere seconds, even just one minute for police to arrive is too long to be of use. Weapon choice also appears to have made little difference since the attacker with the most firepower did not kill the most people. The murderer carrying the full-auto AK killed 8 and wounded another 10 or 11, while the attacker using the semi-auto AK and 9mm pistol managed to kill two and wound several more. The murderer using the 9mm and .22 pistols however killed 30 and wounded 29. (Both of the last two attackers killed two people at other locations prior to the major assaults being discussed here.)

In the most recent incident, a man armed with a full-auto AK attacked students in the crowded library of a religious school in Jerusalem. An adult student at the school, Yitzhak Dadon, who was carrying a pistol, returned fire, striking the attacker, stopping the attack, and ultimately killing the murderer with the assistance of an off-duty military officer who lived nearby.

Late last year, when a disturbed young man launched an assault on a Colorado church, he began shooting people in the parking lot as he approached the main entrance. A member of the church’s security committee, Jeanne Assam, heard the shooting and rushed toward the sound, drawing her own concealed handgun. Upon encountering the murderer, Ms. Assam ordered him to stop then shot him several times, ending the attack.

Unfortunately, at Virginia Tech last April, there was no Jeanne Assam or Yitzhak Dadon – Virginia Tech forbids students and faculty from possessing firearms on campus – leaving the murderer to casually wander from room to room executing people at will until he got tired of it and took his own life.

The weapon chosen can have a major impact on how many people a mass murderer is likely to kill; as proven by the fact that the worst mass murderers in U.S. history chose jet airplanes, fertilizer, gasoline, and dynamite, in that order. Against such attacks a personal firearm is probably not much help, but if the murderer’s weapon of choice is a firearm, one capable person with a gun can make a substantial difference in the final outcome.

Current Administration Taking Steps To Make Terrorists Flying Planes Into Skyscrapers More Safer

Here are a few quotes from an article published today in Washington Times.
After reading it, one can only wonder: on who's side is the Obama administration really on?

Guns on a plane
Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.

Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.

The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.
----------------------
Since Mr. Obama's election, pilots have told us that the approval process for letting pilots carry guns on planes slowed significantly. Last week the problem went from bad to worse. Federal Flight Deck Officers - the pilots who have been approved to carry guns - indicate that the approval process has stalled out.

Pilots cannot openly speak about the changing policies for fear of retaliation from the Transportation Security Administration. Pilots who act in any way that causes a “loss of confidence” in the armed pilot program risk criminal prosecution as well as their removal from the program. Despite these threats, pilots in the Federal Flight Deck Officers program have raised real concerns in multiple interviews.
----------------------
Frankly, as a matter of pure politics, we cannot understand what the administration is thinking. Nearly 40 House Democrats are in districts were the NRA is more popular than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We can't find any independent poll in which the public is demanding that pilots disarm. Why does this move make sense?

Only anti-gun extremists and terrorist recruits are worried about armed pilots. So why is the Obama administration catering to this tiny lobby at the expense of public safety?

Janet Napolitano: Islamic Terrorism Not Politically Correct; Preffers To Call It "Man-Caused Disaster"

George Orwell was not only a brilliant author -- he was a true prophet.


INTERVIEW WITH HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JANET NAPOLITANO

'Away From the Politics of Fear'

Janet Napolitano, 51, is President Obama's new Homeland Security Secretary. She spoke with a reporter from the German newspaper DER SPIEGEL about immigration, the continued threat of terrorism and the changing tone in Washington.

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word "terrorism." Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.

The complete interview here


Say "Liberal" and flush the toilet.
Man-made disasters do exist: like the American sheeple electing a super-majority of corrupt socialist liberals in the Legislative, then electing a disciple of Saul Alinsky and friend of the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers as President of the United States of America.

The First Amendment As Understood By The Liberals In The Academia: Does Not Apply To The Second Amendment

From F.I.R.E - Foundation For Individual Rights In Education, a pro-free speech, Second Amendment rights article

Too Often, First Amendment Protections Denied to Second Amendment Speech

by William Creeley

March 10, 2009

The First Amendment protects core political speech - and, as should be obvious, that protection extends to speech regarding the Second Amendment. This means that students at public universities and private universities that promise the right to free expression on campus must be free to engage in unfettered discussion of the merits of federal, state and local gun policy in the same way that they are free to discuss, say, agricultural subsidies, diplomatic relations with Cuba, or last night's Daily Show.

But an unfortunate consequence of the tragedies at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University is that students are increasingly facing punishment or investigation for engaging in any kind of gun-related speech. While FIRE of course understands the paramount importance of protecting students on campus, we have too often seen abuses of speech rights justified by weak allusions to these tragedies, as if advocating for or against gun rights on campus was an inherently dangerous act worthy of official reprimand. This is an absurd and untenable outcome.

FIRE has explored just how deeply regrettable this gun-speech hysteria is in previous writings. For example, Greg wrote an article for The Huffington Post entitled "What Can The Virginia Tech Tragedy Do For Me?", in which he concluded that "the simple fact is that some administrators have been using the campus shootings of the past two years as an excuse to justify cracking down on speech they don't like." Similarly, here on The Torch, Adam discussed how a recent court order in student Hayden Barnes' ongoing federal civil rights lawsuit against Valdosta State University should remind colleges that "simply invoking Virginia Tech or other incidents of severe violence on college campuses does not mean that a school can get away with declaring the most minor (or in this case nonexistent) references to violence some kind of actionable threat to campus security." Torch readers will remember that VSU cited the tragedy at Virginia Tech to justify expelling Barnes for a "threatening" collage he posted on Facebook.com.

But in light of Robert's scheduled appearance tonight on CNN, it's useful to review just how many incidents of overreaction to gun-related speech we've seen on the part of school administrators in the past several years. It's a long and shameful list:

  • At Central Connecticut State University, a student gave a presentation for his speech class about the safety value of concealed weapons on campus. His professor called the police, who subsequently interrogated him about where he was storing the guns that were registered under his name. This incident has already garnered national media attentionit was featured on the front page of FoxNews.com last weekand will be the focus of Robert's appearance on Lou Dobbs Tonight.
  • At Tarrant County College in Texas, a student chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus was prohibited from wearing empty gun holsters to protest policies that forbid concealed carry on campus. In addition, the group was only allowed to protest (still without holsters) in the school's tiny and restrictive free speech zone. An administrator said that the empty holsters were too threatening for other students to see.
  • At Colorado College, two male students were found responsible for sexually-related "violence" after they put up posters making fun of a feminist newsletter. Because the posters, which also parodied "guy stuff," made references to chainsaws and the range of a sniper rifle, administrators claimed that feminists on campus became afraid for their lives. The administrator who punished the students wrote, "I recognize that your intent in posting your publication was not to threaten but to parody. However, in the climate in which we find ourselves today, violenceor implied violenceof any kind cannot be tolerated on a college campus." Because of this miscarriage of justice, Colorado College is now on FIRE's Red Alert list, reserved for the worst-of-the-worst when it comes to liberty on campus.
  • At Lone Star College near Houston, the Young Conservatives of Texas distributed a humorous flyer listing "Top Ten Gun Safety Tips" at the school's "club rush." They were threatened with probation and derecognition, and the flyer was censored. The school's general counsel invoked the specter of the Virginia Tech shootings, suggesting that even a "mention of firearms and weapons" is inherently a "material interference" with the school's operations.
  • Yale attempted a similar maneuver after the Virginia Tech shootings, banning the use of any realistic-looking weapons in theatrical productions at the school. Under public pressure, Yale backed away somewhat from its original overreaction but still required audiences to be "notified in advance of the use of fake guns, swords and knives."
  • According to USA Today, a professor at Emmanuel College in Boston was fired "after leading a classroom discussion about the Virginia Tech shootings in which he pointed a marker at some students and said 'pow.'" According to the professor, the five-minute demonstration included a discussion of gun control, whether to respond to violence with violence, and the public's "celebration of victimhood."

As always, FIRE will continue to monitor this unfortunate trend and to defend the rights of students and faculty to engage in fully protected speech on campuseven if that speech involves fake guns, empty holsters, or advocating for the right to carry concealed weapons on campus.

We Get The Money, You Keep The Change Presents: Maxine Waters, The Poor Black People Advocate



Wall Street Journal:

Waters Helped Bank Whose Stock She Owned

California Democrat Has Championed Minority-Owned One United on Capitol Hill and Criticized Its Government Regulators


By SUSAN SCHMIDT

WASHINGTON -- When Rep. Barney Frank was looking to aid a Boston-based lender last fall, the Massachusetts Democrat urged Maxine Waters, a colleague on the House Financial Services Committee, to "stay out of it," he says.

The reason: Ms. Waters, a longtime congresswoman from California, had close ties to the minority-owned institution, OneUnited Bank.

Ms. Waters and her husband have both held financial stakes in the bank. Until recently, her husband was a director. At the same time, Ms. Waters has publicly boosted OneUnited's executives and criticized its government regulators during congressional hearings. Last fall, she helped secure the bank a meeting with Treasury officials.


Her involvement isn't new. Ms. Waters has detailed her financial ties in a series of federal disclosure forms and has been vocal in public in support of the bank. Those ties, however, have received little public attention. Nor is it well known how the influential lawmaker has over the years acted to support the bank and its executives.

Such potential conflicts of interest are more serious as the banking system's crisis has led the government to take an increasingly active role in overseeing financial institutions, including OneUnited. The financial-services committee on which Ms. Waters sits oversees banking issues, and the lawmaker is a potential future chairman.

Representatives of the bank and Ms. Waters didn't return calls seeking comment. Ms. Waters's congressional staff didn't respond to written questions about her and her husband's relationship with the bank.

Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group, says Ms. Waters should have recused herself from any matters involving the bank. If her support helped OneUnited, "it was a disservice to her constituents," Ms. Krumholz says.

Ms. Waters, who represents inner-city Los Angeles, hasn't made a secret of her family's financial interest in OneUnited. Referring to her family's investment, she said in 2007 during a congressional hearing that for African-Americans, "the test of your commitment to economic expansion and development and support for business is whether or not you put your money where your mouth is."

OneUnited's executives have donated $12,500 to Ms. Waters's election campaigns.



Through a series of acquisitions, OneUnited grew to become what it says is the largest African-American-owned bank in the country. It once counted the late Motown Records boss Jheryl Busby as a vice chairman.

Ms. Waters and her husband, Sidney Williams, were investors in two African-American owned California banks that merged with other lenders in 2002 to form OneUnited. Congressional financial-disclosure forms show Ms. Waters acquired OneUnited stock worth between $250,000 and $500,000 in March 2004, as did Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams joined the board of OneUnited that year.

Each sold shares in September 2004 -- including Ms. Waters's entire stake -- but Mr. Williams continued to hold varying amount of the company's stock. In the lawmaker's most recent financial-disclosure form, dated May 2008 and covering the prior year, Ms. Waters reported that her husband held between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of the bank's stock.


Getty ImagesMr. Williams also received interest payments from a separate holding at the bank, also worth between $250,000 and $500,000. The 2008 form doesn't specify what that is. Mr. Williams stepped down from the bank's board last spring. It couldn't be learned whether he still owns stock in the bank. Mr. Williams didn't return calls seeking comment.

At a hearing on minority lending in 2007, Ms. Waters criticized regulators for not doing enough to help minority banks stave off mergers with non-minority institutions. The lawmaker said she had contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in 2002 over such concerns and "I was told that there was nothing that could be done."

In her 2007 remarks, Ms. Waters alluded to two banks, Independence Bank of Washington, D.C., and "another bank that was about to be acquired by a major white bank out of Illinois."

Ms. Waters didn't mention that OneUnited had been an unsuccessful suitor of Independence, which had been taken over several years earlier. The second bank, which she didn't name, appears to have been Family Savings Bank of Los Angeles. In 2002, that bank backed out of a merger agreement with FBOP Bank of Oak Brook, Ill., and shortly afterward was acquired by OneUnited.

News reports at the time credited the intervention of Ms. Waters and others for Family Savings's change of heart.

At the hearing, Ms. Waters praised OneUnited's senior counsel, Robert P. Cooper, as "typical of the young, brilliant minds that have been amassed at OneUnited Bank."

OneUnited's minority-lending record is mixed. The bank received "outstanding" Community Reinvestment Act ratings for lending in Los Angeles. It has weak ratings in Massachusetts and failed to meet minimum standards in Florida.

In January, Ms. Waters acknowledged she made a call to the Treasury on OneUnited's behalf. The bank's capital, which was heavily invested in shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was all but wiped out with the federal takeover of the two mortgage giants, and the bank was seeking help from regulators.

OneUnited eventually secured bailout funds under the government's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was set up later that month.

In a brief interview in January, Ms. Waters said she was unaware the bank received $12 million of TARP money, which arrived in December. OneUnited was "just a small" bank, she said.

A provision designed to aid OneUnited was written into the federal bailout legislation by Mr. Frank, who is chairman of the financial-services panel. Mr. Frank has said he inserted the provision to help the only African-American owned bank in his home state. He said in an interview that Ms. Waters's interest "had zero impact on the outcome because I would have done it anyway."

In October, regulators demanded that OneUnited raise fresh capital and name an independent board. The bank was ordered to stop paying for a Porsche used by one of its executives and its chairman's $6.4 million beachfront home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., a luxury enclave between Malibu and Santa Monica.

"I certainly hope the President doesn't succeed."

Nope, this is not another blog post about Rush Limbaugh. It is a post about the double standards of the disgraced liberal media and about the two-faced Democrat Party attack dogs operating under the direct orders of Dead Fish Rahmbo who seem to have relatively short memories.
But no worries comrades, we're here to help you remember!



Flashback: Carville Wanted Bush to Fail


On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he (Bush) doesn't succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!"

The press followed Carville's orders, never reporting his or Greenberg's desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party's top strategists, that Bush should fail.

That omission stands in stark contrast to the feeding frenzy that ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were unpatriotic.

"The most influential Republican in the United States today, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, said he did not want President Obama to succeed," Carville railed on CNN recently. "He is the daddy of this Republican Congress."
(talk about dishonesty and lack of any remnants of moral fiber and what you see before your eyes is Carville)
Limbaugh, a staunch conservative, emphasized that he is rooting for the failure of Obama's liberal policies.

"The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country," Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. "I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama's socialist agenda, that hurt my country.

"I deal in principles, not polls," Limbaugh added. "Carville and people like him live and breathe political exploitation. This is all a game to them. It's not a game to me. I am concerned about the well-being and survival of our nation. When has Carville ever advocated anything that would benefit the country at the expense of his party?"

Carville told Politico that focusing on Limbaugh is a deliberate strategy aimed at undermining Republicans.

"The television cameras just can't stay away from him," he said. "Our strategy depends on him keeping talking, and I think we're going to succeed."

Why Is This Cockroach Still Allowed To Live In The UK?

UK based jihadist Anjem Choudary explains how Islam will take over the UK by overthrowing the government:



The enemy brazenly tells what their plans are and how they intend to overthrow the government; yet no authority in England takes them seriously.
Maybe the Metropolitan police was too busy crashing a Wild West themed wedding party where the jolly participants were armed with dangerous and possibly illegal toy guns. Now that's a serious threat to public safety and the security of the state!

I guess the 7/7 London bombings and dozens of victims are still not enough for the leftist government of the UK to wake up.

Liberalism is a mental disease; England is proof of that.

Pizza Guy Delivers Fresh & Hot .45 ACP Bullet To Robber Waiting In Ambush

Final score: pizza delivery man 1, robbers -1

One of the punks got what he deserved; too bad the rest got away with their hides intact. In a few short years they will be out on parole and back on the streets again.



WIS10 reports:
IRMO, SC (WIS) - A $250,000 surety bond was set for three people involved in a weekend shooting.

Officials say four people tried to rob a pizza delivery man Saturday night, but the man ended up shooting and killing one of the attackers.

Deputies say the incident happened at about 10:30pm Saturday.

Lexington County Sheriff James Metts says 18-year-old Jason Todd Beckham, 20-year-old Carlos Renard Dates, 18-year-old Justin Towan Roundtree and 17-year-old Paul Andrew Sturgill, Jr. placed an order with the Pizza Hut on Irmo Drive for two large pizzas to be delivered to a home on Avery Place Lane.

The owner of the home did not know the four men, and didn't know his home was being used as a location for a robbery, Metts said.

The delivery man, 43-year-old Christopher Steven Miller, told deputies Sturgill was standing on a sidewalk outside the home when Miller arrived to deliver the pizzas. Miller told deputies Sturgill asked him whether Miller could make change for a $100 bill, and Miller saw that Sturgill had no cash in his wallet.

Miller says he saw two men run out of some nearby woods towards him, and tried to run away. However, Miller says Sturgill began to punch him.

While Sturgill was hitting him, Miller told deputies that he took a .45-caliber handgun from his fanny pack and shot Sturgill in the upper torso.

Miller called 911, and deputies arrived to find Miller bleeding from his nose and Sturgill lying on the ground.

WIS tv10 Video Here

EMTs took Sturgill to Palmetto Health Richland Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives arrested Beckham Sunday morning at Sturgill's home. Deputies and a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force arrested Dates Sunday afternoon at his home. Roundtree turned himself in Sunday evening.

The three were being held at the Lexington County Detention Center on charges of robbery and criminal conspiracy.

An autopsy will be performed on Sturgill Monday.

Miller has a concealed weapons permit, and has not been charged, Metts said. However, the incident remains under investigation.

The Nazi sees himself as an artist, the Communist sees himself as a man of virtue. Nazism will restore the world in its beauty, communism will restore the world in its goodness — Alain Besancon


H/T patruped:bun biped:rau

The sad reality is both only manage to destroy it and kill hundreds of millions in the process. And while today Nazism is largely rejected, Communism and Socialism (which is Communism lite) still have millions of followers mostly from the ranks of the Western intelligentsia who believe the ideology they embrace failed every time because the wrong people were in charge.
But you see, we need to trust them; they are different and this time it's gonna work.

Another Pro-Gun Democrat Politician Standing on Principles

But...but...but...there are Democrats who are pro-Second Amendment and they will stand against their Party and will not allow Obama to pass a new Assault Weapon Ban. So don't you worry T.P., anti-gun Democrats will not have enough votes from their own Party to even try to pull another AWB.

At least that's what every liberal gun owner(?) trolling on pretty much every gun forum I visit told me.

"Gillibrand backs gun control bill"

"WASHINGTON — In her first vote on the issue since being appointed to the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., on Thursday voted to reject a measure that would expand gun rights."

also see:

"In turnaround, Gillibrand backs key gun-control issue"

WASHINGTON - Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand made her turnaround on a key gun-control issue official this week: She signed a letter seeking repeal of the NRA-backed Tiahrt Amendments, even though she sought to make them permanent just last June.

The letter, made public Wednesday, asks Attorney General Eric Holder for his support for the repeal of Tiahrt, an appropriations bill amendment that since 2003 has restricted use of federal gun-trace data.

The letter was written and circulated by Gillibrand's most outspoken critic: Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola), a gun-control activist.


Didn't take her long to start ass kissing Schumer and Bloomberg...

Video: A History of Gun Control in California

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3

Good read: "Americans are the Strongest Tribe"

From Mike Vanderboegh at Sipsey Street Irregulars comes another great piece:

"Americans are the Strongest Tribe"

"During the fierce battle for Fallujah, Bing West asked an Iraqi colonel why the archterrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had fled in women’s clothes. The (Iraqi) colonel pointed to a Marine patrol walking by and said, 'Americans are the strongest tribe.'"

There is no doubt that we liberty-loving Americans are bonded by something greater than simple nationalism. Yet everyday we see people -- nominal "Americans" -- who, like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers seem to resemble us, but are NOT us. The collectivist virus has taken over their brains and there is no reasoning with them. Their view of this country and its future are 180 degrees about from the Founders.

Yet this tribe of free Americans that we are is not based on genetics, matrilineal or any other. It is not a matter of race, creed, color or religion. (Although I would argue that we would not have a United States of America without the basis of Judeo-Christian ethics and English common law -- the faith of the Founders.)

Anyone can be a member of this tribe, but membership is not free. Anyone can rise, regardless of family background, to a position of leadership in this tribe, but he or she must be competent to lead. "Leadership" in our tribe is not synonymous with elected office. To lead citizens at any level calls for so very many more attributes than merely getting elected -- witness Barack Obama -- and principal among them is responsibility.

Yet the Body Snatchers eschew responsibility -- they run from it like the plague, for to them it is government which is the only repository of responsibility. It is the government which possesses a monopoly on good, an overabundance of munificence, the ultimate knowledge and competence, and yes, must possess the monopoly of force.

These are not Americans as the Founders would have accepted. They are human, to be sure. But THEY ARE NOT FREE MEN. They have elected, chosen, not to be free. Worse, they wish us not to be free.

They are of another tribe.

Let us then look to OUR tribe. The tribe of free Americans. The strongest tribe. Together we will get through the darkness to come.

It's Over: The Taliban Defeated America

...with a little help from their friend Hussein Al-Ameriki who lives at the White House, of course.

NY Slimes writes:

"President Obama declared in an interview that the United States was not winning the war in Afghanistan and opened the door to a reconciliation process in which the American military would reach out to moderate elements of the Taliban"


Don't you love this guy? He made the same the surge will fail, America has lost the war prediction less than two years ago. Must give it to him: he never changes his opinion about America being defeated from one year to another.

Mr President...I have a question please. According to you, which ones are the moderate Taliban you are planning to sit at the negotiation table and sign our surrendering armistice?

This guy here? Is he a moderate?

















...these ones?

















...or maybe these ones?
















Pick any of them, your choice Mr. President. It doesn't really matter to whom you are surrendering the free world, anyway.

Two Presidents, Two Shoe Throwers, Same Media

A few months ago an Iraqi throws a shoe at President Bush during a press conference; the Western mainstream media and leftist blog reaction is to call the man a hero.
In their opinion Bush was evil incarnate and he had it coming; you cannot help but notice how many left wingers could barely help themselves not to express their disappointment the assailant didn't had a gun.

Yesterday an Iranian throws a shoe at the demented dictator Mahmoud Ahmedinajad; the same mainstream media and leftist blog reaction: big, loud yawn. Move along people, this never happened.


URUMIYE, Iran, March 6 (UPI) -- Iranian bloggers report that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became the target of a hurled shoe
this week as he traveled through the city of Urumiye.

While newspapers and broadcasters ignored the story, the word in the photosphere was that the president's security guards failed to find the shoe-thrower, The Guardian reports. Ahmadinejad was reported to be traveling in an open car to deliver a speech in the northwestern city.

Among Muslims, shoe-throwing is considered a deadly insult, and the Iraqi journalist who threw both his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, who ducked, became a hero in much of the Middle East, including Iran. The practice was also taken up by demonstrators in Iceland and other countries.

Urumiye News, an Iranian Web site, said that members of the crowd became angry after a car in the president's motorcade hit an elderly man. The man had been trying to give Ahmadinejad a letter.

In 2006, someone threw a shoe at Ahmadinejad during a protest at Amir Kabir University in Tehran.
Source

The man who threw his shoe at Bush had a trial and got away with a small fine.

The man who threw his shoe at Ahmedinajad is probably kept alive as we speak only to be tortured in the most unimaginable ways. Most likely he is wishing he was dead by now.

Guess which one of the two shoe throwers is a courageous hero to the Western drive-by media?

Vaclav Klaus: Obama, Sarkozy And Mekel Are Scaremongers

In an opinion piece for the liberal daily Mladá Fronta Dnes, Czech President Václav Klaus criticises the attempts to solve the global crisis with regulations and stimulus packages:






"Politicians have never been as far removed from serving the interests of the citizens as they are today. … I don't intend to lecture Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, or German Chancellor Angela Merkel on how to revive their national economies in the short-term, but I'm convinced that the solution to today's problems cannot lie in pumping money into the economy which our children and grandchildren will have to repay for many decades to come.
This policy of [John Maynard] Keynes has never worked. ... We should concentrate on trying to rid the economy of all those factors that artificially slow it down: bureaucracy, an overblown welfare state, high taxes and insurances, rigid labour laws, the ambitions of environmental activists and cumbersome institutions whose official stamp the economy is forced to wait for.
… The biggest mistake now would be to increase regulation. And above all: politicians should avoid intensifying the panic with their dramatic gestures and worried faces."

Last February, Vaclav Klaus compared the supporters of European integration with the Communist Party activists from the Soviet era.

Uh Oh...Jim Cramer Is Pissed

It's already started: buyers remorse blues hits MSNBC's top financial commentator, big Democrat donor and Obama supporter, Jim Cramer:


Cramer: My Response To The White House




..."But these are issues that we have no time for now, on the verge of a second Great Depression. This is an agenda that must be held back for better times. It is an agenda that at this moment is radical vs. what is called for. I am proud to have voted for the Obama who I thought understood the need to get us on the right path, and create jobs and wealth before taxing it and making moves that hurt job creation -- certainly ones that will outweigh the meager number of jobs he's creating.

Most important, I believe his agenda is crushing nest eggs around the nation in loud ways, like the decline in the averages, and in soft but dangerous ways, like in the annuities that can't be paid and the insurance benefits that will be challenging to deliver on.

So I will fight the fight against that agenda. I will stand up for what I believe and for what I have always believed: Every person has a right to be rich in this country and I want to help them get there. And when they get there, if times are good, we can have them give back or pay higher taxes. Until they get there, I don't want them shackled or scared or paralyzed. That's what I see now.

If that makes me an enemy of the White House, then call me a general of an army that Obama may not even know exists -- tens of millions of people who live in fear of having no money saved when they need it and who get poorer by the day".
