The Shyster, Sighster Speaks!

Call Al Gore whatever you want, the Goracle, Algore, Albore, Al-the-Liar, Al-the-Fraud, or any of his other less-than-complimentary nicknames, you have to give him one thing: He’s consistent. He’s like an annoying, dripping faucet and he’s especially consistent in his perfected, exasperated sighing when confronted by a serious question or issue raised by someone who hasn’t signed on to his pre-fabricated, “Inconvenient Lie.”

President Obama’s unofficial, un-designated point man for the global warming/global cooling/climate change scam dredged up a sigh of epic proportions last Friday when rudely asked by a fellow Tennessean, GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn, if he were stuffing his wallet and bank accounts with all his campaigning to save Planet Earth from the planet’s chief predators, humankind: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/04/25/2009-04-25_al_gore_shows_his_disdain_for_global_warming_doubters_on_capitol_hill.html.

He seemed positively aghast that anyone would have the sheer effrontery to question his motives, punctuating his righteous defense with his patented, practiced sigh to emphasize his frustration with such dolts.

“Greed, you say! Greed? I give every bloody farthing I extort, ahem, earn from my movie to charity, I’ll have you know, you impudent little bitch!” Well, Gore didn’t exactly say that to Rep. Blackburn but he did say that if she knew him she wouldn’t have asked such an impertinent question. However, those who have been following the Nobel Prize winner’s misrepresentations and machinations for lo, these many years do know him quite well and we can read what’s really going on in that huge, hypocritical head of his.

You can catch his equally huge sigh here and his equally huge indignation here: http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=326113&widget=1.

He needn’t have been so frustrated. The Democratic congress had his back by virtue or lack of virtue in its dis-invitation to an actual expert on climate change. Lord Christopher Monckton had been prepared to challenge Gore’s thesis that this poor planet of ours is on the threshhold of an unspeakably catastrophic, cataclysmic, and really bad calamity due to cow farting but mostly due to Earthlings’ nasty habits of eating, manufacturing, consuming, and accomplishing in order to survive and thrive.

“Oh, no, you don’t, Monckie!” congressional Dems blustered. “You’re not going to expose and humiliate our Goracle with evidence that he’s a shamster and undermine all our efforts to screw this country with Cap and Trade and our other schemes. We’ve spent far too much time and effort spewing all that crap to have a Brit twit expose us now!”

Okay, neither Rep. Henry (The Weasel) Waxman nor any other Dem precisely used those words to articulate their sentiments nor did they fess up to supporting Obama’s efforts to surrender America’s sovereignty to the U.N. but, again, we of the Hypocrisy Police can read their minds. They should be afraid, very afraid.

Lord Monckton is anything but afraid. His wheels had barely hit the tarmac when he was informed...

Hypocrites in the News II

Please see previous (political) “Hypocrites in the News:” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=969.

Today we widen our focus to cite non-political hypocrites very deserving of our attention to demonstrate that, although politicians have raised hypocrisy to a virtual art form, they don’t enjoy a monopoly.

A sad case in point is the previously-discussed, Mel Gibson, (”Sex, Morality, and the Decline of a Nation II,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=961), who, apparently, couldn’t keep his pants zipped when it came to a couple of Russki hotties. If the allegations are true, Mel merits the top of the hypocrisy heap simply due to his prior status as a conservative icon who let us down almost as much as he let down his wife, his family, and himself.

Second place in the hypocritical non-political category is awarded to a sorry substitute for a human being, some swishing twit named Perez Hilton, who earned his position here by demonstrating intolerance. As a dashing gay blade and a representative of his homosexual clique, surely he must have heard of the gay “Day of Silence” last week which sought to muzzle straight high school and college kids to enable the homosexual lobby to present its case for, take a guess, tolerance toward the gay community.

In actuality, the Day of Silence was dedicated as much to recruiting kids to its lifestyle as it was to gaining respect and tolerance, but that’s just one man’s opinion. See here for the substance behind that opinion: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=931.

Well, Perez, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. and who maintains a website which features a more than flattering caricature of his likeness,proved proved to be more than a tad intolerant of a young lady named, Carrie Prejean.

The Perez-Carrie story has been widely circulated but for those not into the stuff of fluff, such as Miss America contests, a quick summary: For some reason, Perez was chosen to be a judge of this year’s competitors to help determine who would wear the 2009 crown. Why a flaming homosexual would be asked to sit in judgement on a bevy of American beauties in the first place, except perhaps for a touch of comic relief, is beyond me. It was tantamount in its absurdity to Rep. Barney Frank judging honest CEO’s, which he does.

Now, I’m not qualified to allege that gay “men” don’t like women, especially pretty women, although it’s probably true, but Perez went at Carrie as if . . .

Picking and choosing America’s current most outstanding hypocrites involves a daunting challenge. Separating the spoiled wheat from the rotting chaff is only doable providing one can pick and choose at the same time one holds one’s nose. The trouble is, there’s just so much competition, so many vying for the hypocrite crown that the only practical thing to do was to set aside two separate and equal crowns, for the political and non-political spheres.

Today, the political arena.

Needless to say, so I’ll say it anyway, hypocrisy is most prevalent in the smarmy world of politics where it’s so ingrained that it all but defines that world. Most people, unfortunately, anticipate lying, cheating, finagling, and subterfuge from most politicians who denounce the lying, cheating, finagling and subterfuge in other societal fields as if they were shocked, shocked, I tell you, at the corruption in the human soul. However, hypocrisy is hardly confined to politics where, thanks to our system of virtual lifetime tenure for career politicos, they have perfected the art of hypocrisy which others can only hope to emulate.

Let’s therefore begin with the political sphere and, since we’re there, why not start at the top, namely with the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Still shy of a hundred days in office, Obama and his appointed henchmen and henchwomen have already set a multitude of hypocrisy records. They range from the president’s accepting purebred Bo instead of adopting one of those puppies in a shelter window to his knowledge of Cabinet nominees’ tax cheating, most of which have been detailed in this space. Since we’re focusing here on the most recent events, we can narrow the field.

Many Americans very intelligently despise politics and all its related ickiness and generally ignore what comes out of D.C. and state capitals rather than getting involved in the nitty-gritties and rolling in the political mud. As a friend once confessed, he gets all the news he needs from ABC, NBC, and CBS even though he knows the coverage is slanted and superficial, and he’s pretty typical of the average guy, except in his awareness that network news is as skewed so far to the left it’s virtually objectively useless.

Obama, (no dumb bunny, he), is fully aware of the inclinations of Joe Average. After all, he was elected largely by the uninformed and misinformed. So, when he announced at his first full Cabinet meeting that $100,000,000 must be, ahem, slashed from his department budgets, he knew full well that the headlines would read just that, “PRESIDENT SLASHES $100 MILLION FROM BUDGET,” and my friend and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average would be thrilled that our leader is leading the pack in cutting the federal fat. Maybe, only maybe, the mass media might mention, might mention, somewhere how many zeroes there are in the total budget of $4,000,000,000,000. Someone did the math and that Obama’s admitted “drop in the bucket” was a rousing 0.0025% of the total planned outlay and 0.007% of the projected deficit: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21480.html.

Obama richly deserves to take top place in our CURRENT HYPOCRITE AWARDS not because of Bo but because of, once again, fooling some of the people all of the time while thinking he can fool all of the people all of the time.

Hot on Obama’s heels for the hypocrite pinnacle is Senator Dianne Feinstein, (D. CA), one of the dozens of multi-millionaires sitting in those taxpayer-provided seats in Congress. She was very eager to share the wealth, a goal expressed, then hushed, by candidate Obama. It would be admirable on the good senator’s part if it were her own wealth she were sharing. However, it’s taxpayer wealth she wanted doled out–to her husband–but indirectly, of course.

It was no paltry sum that Feinstein wanted shared. In fact, it was $25 Billion she wanted doled, to the FDIC, the agency which is normally funded by banks. She all but fell over herself when congress convened this year to get those billions shared but failed to mention that the FDIC “had just awarded her husband’s real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms:”
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/21/senate-husbands-firm-cashes-in-on-crisis/. What’s that adage, “One hand washes the other?”

Feinstein’s intervention with that unorthodox end-run for redistribution of wealth to the FDIC and, again indirectly, to Richard Blum, her loving and equally wealthy hubby, earns her second place in the hypocrite sweepstakes. As they say, the rich get richer and the poor either get pregnant or go broke keeping the rich happy.

Third place in political hypocrisy goes to an old favorite,. . .

America's Apostate Catholic Universities

What, in the name of God, is going on with America’s Catholic universities?

Notre Dame alumni are putting the screws to their alma mater, hitting it where it hurts most: in the Irish endowment.

The purpose: Dumping university president, Rev. John Jenkins. The reason: Jenkins’ invitation to pro-abortionist President Barack Obama to speak at commencement on May 17th and Jenkins’ surrender of the values upon which Notre Dame was founded. The prospects of success: Nil, in either ousting Jenkins or in stopping their school from honoring a man who stands in opposition to virtually everything Notre Dame and the Catholic faith holds true and sacred.

(http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=46823)

It would represent a further embarrassment to all concerned to revoke the Obama invite at this point and an equal embarrassment to force Jenkins to step down under duress. However, the school still has high hopes and anticipates President Obama will abide by tradition, even if the school has abandoned its traditional moral principles. A university spokesman indicated that, “Notre Dame expects Obama to Wear Prayer to Virgin Mary on His Chest When He Accepts Honorary Degree:” http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=46844. That is the same traditional robe worn by such luminaries as George W. Bush and Martin Sheen and, as another spokesman added, “everyone” wears that robe when receiving such recognition by Notre Dame and so will Obama.

Don’t bet the farm on that expectation. Not that Obama isn’t into tradition but his traditions aren’t quite the same as Notre Dame’s. A White House spokesman when asked about the robe hemmed and hawed over an answer and sputtered, “I’ve looked around, but I don’t have an answer for you.”

We will get that answer in a little over a month at the graduation ceremony. I wonder how proud the new graduates and “Rudy” Ruetigger feel about the whole mess created for their beloved school by Father Jenkins.

That other prestigious, eastern United States Catholic university, Georgetown, had already succeeded in upstaging its sister Catholic school in South Bend by its shameful action when Obama spoke there recently. Georgetown deferred to Obama by covering the religiously-symbolic letters, “IHS,” which were never an issue for other speakers. For Obama, for some reason, the iconic symbol was “out of context.” GU subsequently offered the lame excuse that it required the space for flags. (See http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=46784 and “Pusillanimity on Parade in Academia:” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=959.)

In what appears to be a never-ending competition for publicity, or for something far worse, Georgetown outdid itself during this year’s Lenten season

If I may digress for a brief bit, GU’s desecration of Lent brought to mind the priest and family friend who had officiated at our wedding 40 years ago. Twenty years later, Father Joe decided he had had it and left the priesthood. His winters of discontent were not rooted in his religion or the priesthood per se as much as it was discontent with the new priests entering that vocation. He expressed the reason for his giving up his vestments in a rhetorical question: “What other profession offers such a ripe field for homosexuals to pursue their homosexual inclinations?”

His point and the cause of Father Joe’s justifiable anger was the influx of gays into the priesthood, the results of which have become all too evident in contemporary headlines about predator priests and child molestation. As vocations by the truly priestly plummeted, the Church sought to fill the ranks by allowing entry into its seminaries not only to “non-practicing” homosexuals but to others of questionable character and morality, as long as they hadn’t been caught yet.

The results are also evident at Georgetown University. Jesuit GU bastardized the first week of Lent with “Sex Positive Week,” dedicated not exclusively to homosexuality but open to all “positivity.”

Georgetown’s “Sex Positive Week” featured a variety of “positive” events. On Monday they had a panel discussion on positive sex. Tuesday focused on the eternal query, “Can pornography be sex positive?” Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, . . .

Save These Dates!

Save These Dates!

With the holy season of Easter behind us, it’s time to mark these imminent dates and events on your calendars.

April 15: Be sure your tax returns are postmarked by this date to insure Uncle Sam and Uncle David (in New York) don’t impose a stiff penalty for your audacity in submitting your federal and state tribute late to the state or the feds! Neither looks kindly on such procrastination. As Obama’s vetters for such positions as Secretary of the Treasury know full well, our Democratic leaders are permitted to procrastinate and even ignore the tax mandates with which we groundlings must abide but watch your butt if YOU follow suit! That is, unless you are apt to consciously, or sub-consciously, tend to chant, “Change!” In that case you still have to pay through the nose but you should be content with the change left in your pocket after you pay your dues.

April 15: Yep, this requires some multitasking expertise since you must first cough up to the feds and maybe to your state the cash they need to administer social programs from which you derive no benefit and to reward simple servants whose hearing defects limit their ability to answer phones. Nevertheless, cast aside your tax-anger on Wednesday and get thee to a Tea Party, whether you prefer to indulge in a nice cup’a tea, a nice cup’a coffee, or a few slugs of high test Coke to get you moving in the morning. “Tea Parties” are being held throughout the nation on April 15 to protest the efforts of Obama and his tax cheats to impose on us, our children, and our grandchildren the burden of paying for their profligacy. For background on America’s first tea party, click here: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=949. For local tea times, consult your local rebels and remember to BYOT, Bring Your Own Tea.

April 17: This is another day that may soon live in infamy, if we allow it. America’s resident gay blades and their fellow travellers are intent on conducting a widespread Day of Silence in Massachusetts and other public schools on April 17th. The plan is that straight, normal, heterosexual kids will keep their mouths shut, so they cannot object, and their ears wide open, so that they will be receptive to the “gay” message. That message has two components, one, that straight kids accept them as normal and, two, that confused straight kids sign up for more information on the glories of homosexual life. See “Day of Silence–Day of Seduction,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=931 and call or picket your school to register your objections.

If I had a choice among not paying my taxes by April 15th or not attending a tax rebellion on that date or not protesting that effort to seduce our kids on April 17th, I’d skip my taxes, pay the penalties, skip the tea party and protest the Day Of Silence. That day and its many ramifications could affect America, and our kids, far more grievously than unfair and outrageous taxes.

Yuks, Chucks, and Giggles

Those not familiar with MoonBattery.com should get familiar, especially if they enjoy keeping updated on “moonbats” making fools of themselves.

In a recent, recent 24 hour period, MoonBattery.com readers were entertained with these stories exposing the ironies, clownish actions, absurd statements, and outright idiocies committed by those of the liberal persuasion, (read “liberal persuasion” as clownish, absurd and idiotic:)

MOONBATS TARGET TOP ARMY CHAPLAIN: “The Military Religious Freedom Foundation sought Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver’s ouster on the day Carver designated for prayer and fasting for chaplains. It also was the start of Passover, observed with a ritual meal, or Seder, by Jews.” Cutely named “Mikey” Weinstein, in conjunction with co-plaintiff and atheist, medic Spc. Justin Chalker, have filed suit seeking Carver’s ouster on the basis of “Christians upset about what they view as discrimination by other Christians.” Carver’s egregious offense? Scheduling a day of prayer and fasting on a day which happened to coincide with the beginning of the Jewish Passover when Jews like to enjoy a nice meal: http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/news.aspx?id=21466. God forbids (voluntary) prayer and fasting at any time?

MUSLIM MURDERESS OPPRESSED: It was alleged that a Muslim woman, Nour Hadid, had murdered her 2 year old niece, according to Orland Park, Illinois police. That would be a horrific crime and Orland Park police handled it in a professional manner. After her arrest, as per procedure, her picture, her mugshot, was taken, sans her hajib or head scarf and in a “skimpy” top. Hubby Alaeddin Hadid, no relation to the magic carpet Alladin, took offense, contending Nour was dissed by the cops and he vowed to sue saying that such a photograph “is against our religion; we do not do this in our culture:” (http://www.southtownstar.com/news/1520478,041009mugshot.article) Well, hello, Alaeddin, you’re not living in your culture and in our culture we take great offense at murdering children and objecting to cops doing their job by recording on film the face, not the scarf, of the accused!

PLAGUED FOR SELLING PUPPIES: Puppies are all over the mass media news lately as it breathlessly awaits confirmation on the identity of the pet that Malia and Sasha Obama will be getting, and which White House personnel will be cleaning up after. Pooper scoopers . . .

America's Next Tea Party: April 15, 2009

The Boston Tea Party wasn’t much of a party and the ton of tea dumped into Boston harbor in 1773 represented more a sacrifice than it was a protest against Britain’s tea tax. The colonials loved their spot of tea but they loved their freedom and independence far more.

The Boston Tea Party was actually a powder keg which wasn’t the least bit dampened by the frigid New England waters that December night. The massive explosion of that keg helped serve to light the way for the American Revolution which, three years down the dusty roads of 18th century America, led to our Declaration of Independence from an oppressive King George III and a vengeful British Parliament.

The madness of King George and the stupidity and venality of that legislative body whose members, bedecked in their powdered wigs and immersed in their pride and righteous indignation, have been fully documented over the 235 intervening years since that tea party. See here for an abbreviated account of the events and consequences of the Boston Tea Party and a participant’s recollections: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/teaparty.htm.

Five days from now, Americans will have another opportunity to inform other oppressive ruling bodies that we’re fed up and refuse to take it any longer.

The Congress of the United States and our new, reigning monarch-wanna be, Obama the First, have seen fit to impose on the American people and upon our children and grandchildren undue, repressive, and unnecessary tax burdens which are designed to create, support, and expand massive social programs intent on establishing a massive, dependent welfare state and to “share the wealth,” as King Obama let slip to Joe the Plumber during the campaign.

Most of the machinations in process are still unknown to the citizenry, such programs as ending the Bush tax cuts in 2010, a tactic which will allow our Democrats to assert they did not raise taxes. Taxes will soar because the tax cuts simply expired. Get that?

Our Democratic leaders are actively and subtly employing the ol’ boiling a frog trick: Dump that little green sucker into tepid water and gradually jack up the temperature until, Voila! you have frog legs that taste like chicken, and taxpayers who are boiled alive and ready for the Soylent Green factories–after they pay their taxes.

Scheduled not coincidentally with the day our various governments, led by and linked to the feds, exact their pounds of taxpayer flesh, April 15th, full details on the reasons and purposes behind America’s New Tea Party can be found here: http://www.teapartyday.com/.

There may or may not be any actual tea tossed into the briny on that day. It’s planned as a, hopefully peaceful, national demonstration by good, American citizens who sincerely yet forcefully demand to be heard in Washington, Albany, Trenton, Sacramento, and the rest of our state capitals. We want it made vividly clear that we do not endorse and will never support converting the United States of America into a socialist nation.

As Jefferson wrote in America’s Declaration of Independence, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

May God bless, save, and preserve America!

A Heterosexual Questionnaire

Sometimes lately, too often, the efforts of the homosexual lobby, the LGBT crowd, to attract America’s young people to their twisted lifestyle becomes too blatant to be ignored. Such is the planned Day of Silence/Day of Seduction set for 10 days from now, April 17th, in Massachusetts schools and, organizers say, in hundreds of other American elementary and high schools. For details, see http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=931.

The gay movement seems to be picking up a great head of steam since Obama’s election as they mobilize in courts, legislatures, streets, and schools to win over the public to universal acceptance of its agenda. The most liberal president in America’s history has made it vividly clear that their agenda is his agenda.

As with most radical movements, in their fervor and haste to conquer the public’s mind and soul, they overstep, exceed limits, and betray their essential mindset that they believe most people are too stupid to notice their machinations. A prime example is the website, http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/.

Ostensibly, “advocates for youth,” in actuality it is as much a vehicle for the seduction and recruitment of normal young people as it functions as a support group for gay teens.

Where it most obviously shows its intent is in a poorly-constructed “heterosexual questionnaire.” The questions try to steer youths toward favoring and adopting homosexuality but are so laughably biased in that direction that it is a virtual parody of itself, replete with distortions, false assumptions, twisted facts, and outright lies.

Below is that questionnaire, intended to serve as a lesson plan for teachers. I took the opportunitity to supplement it with editorial commentary to set the record straight: http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/lessonplans/heterosexual2.htm

What do you think caused your heterosexuality? (Suggestion: It’s some kind of genetic flaw or disease which, given some effort, could be cured.)

When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual? (Suggestion: It’s a decision heterosexuals make, in contrast to homosexuals who insist they are born that way.)

Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of? (Suggestion: This too will pass, like biting your nails or twitching.) ...

John Rich, Rebel With A Cause

I’m not a big aficionado of country and western music nor of country singer, John Rich, but his new hit single is worth a listen if you’re as angry as he is over Washington’s efforts to bankrupt the nation.

It’s worth a listen if you believe that the CEO of Merrill Lynch using taxpayer bailout money to buy a $38,000. toilet is an incredible wasteful use of our money during an awful economy.

It’s worth a listen if you’re angry that this and other monumental waste is going on when people are being thrown out of work and thrown out of their homes and as workers and retireees watch their nesteggs go round and round, heading down that CEO’s toilet.

If you believe that the D.C. shenanigans are “absolute nonsense” and reflect “a lack of reality and a lack of respect for American taxpayers” and if you further believe that the “long-term effects of spending trillions and trillions of [our] grandkids’ dollars [isn’t] worth the short-term blackjack move that [President Obama’s] making to stimulate our economy right now?” you should appreciate, “Shuttin’ Detroit Down.”

For an opportunity to voice your anger over the sorry state of affairs in 2009 America, call your congressman and senators; names and numbers should be in your phone books. You may even want to leave a message for Obama at the White House switchboard, (202) 456-1414,(202) 456-2461, so that when he gets back from his European Grand Tour after wowing his fans and wooing heads of state, he may get a reality check from the hometown folk.

For some personal and family consolation during these very trying times, try praying.

You Go, Blago!

You Go, Blago!

I’ve gotten to like semi-deposed Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich.

No, I’m not mentally deranged, I don’t think. Nor am I of Serbian extraction as the mop-haired ex-gov is. Nor do I suggest he’s innocent of any charges against him, although he’s not been charged with any; after all, the guy is from Illinois, home state of the most corrupt town in the country, if not on the planet, so he has to be guilty of everything.

And, yes, I’m up to here with 24/7 Blago news as much as I am with Madoff news and Britney news. But, I’ve come to like Rod’s overall style, if not his hairstyle–and how this Chicago-born Democrat has been sticking it to his fellow Dems far and wide.

I furthermore believe that he’s not a “cuckoo,” as Mayor Daley II has called him twice, the same mayor who supported him twice for the governorship and with whom he palled around and with whom he sat on numberless daises, etc. I think also that Rod has a couple tricks still up his well-tailored sleeve as well as a plan to keep himself out of the hoosegow. He may have risen from humble roots, but he seems to have a grand exit plan.

True, he’s brash, obnoxious, foul-mouthed, sleazy, greedy, and glib, all of which are standard attributes for Illinois political success. He also seems supremely confident for some reason and for that reason, the Powers-that-be in Illinois and Chicago are determined to bring him down. I think those Powers are mightily afraid of what Blago knows and aware that he has no compunctions about spilling all he knows.

Let’s look at the record, as the venerable former New York Governor Al Smith used to say, not Blagojevich’s record in Springfield but the record since December 9th when what he has termed his personal Pearl Harbor began.

The poor guy was rousted from the warm bed he shares with the equally-greedy and equally-foul-mouthed Mrs. Patricia B. on that cold December morning in 2008, barely a month after Barack Obama’s election as president. With his two young kids, hopefully, still sleeping at 6:15 a.m, ...

Where Have All the Somalis Gone?

Where Have All the Somalis Gone?

Another story getting little play in the very news-selective mainstream media is the mysterious disappearances of dozens of young immigrants from Somalia who had been living in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area. CNN, Newsweek and the LA Times have finally seen fit to cover the two month old story: http://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/holy-cow-now-40-young-somalis-are-missing-in-minnesota/

The story hit (some) wires in late November, most notably on the Fox News Channel, that up to 40 Somalis have simply upped and disappeared without even a fond adieu even to their parents. One, a naturalized United States citizen, reappeared as a suicide bomber in Somalia.

Not mentioned in any of the stories that I have seen is the possibility that at least some are not journeying back home, a long and expensive trip for the mostly impoverished Somalis, but are being trained here and in their other adoptive nations for domestic jihad, or struggle mandated by the Qur’an and Allah.

The fear of the conventional wisdom is that they are being recruited to participate in jihad in their native Somalia which is torn by upheavals between what government there is in that country and Islamic insurgents bent on establishing an Islamic state there: http://www.defenddemocracy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11783918&Itemid=0.

That story goes further, referring to reports that similar disappearances are occurring worldwide where Somalis have gone to seek a better life, in Europe, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia.

Sorry, but I can’t work up much fear that all headed back to blow themselves up in Somalia after being accorded the privilege of living in America or elsewhere where their lot in life had to have been a vast improvement, no doubt subsidized by Americans, Europeans, et al.

Muhammed Atta and his band of merry murderers may not have been Somalis but they were Islamic jihadists. Could the next 9/11 be in the planning stage and will the ranks of the next wave of terrorism here be supplemented by Somali recruits?

The FBI is said to be on the case but the FBI also knew in advance about Atta.

Abortion's Ugly Realities

Abortion in America: A Grisly Reality

As the ardently pro-abortionist President Obama plots to end any and all restrictions on the practice of aborting pre-born babies in the United States and to fund abortions worldwide, it’s time to review the issue. It would be in America's interest for Obama to do the same.

Fifty years ago in our country, the word “abortion,” if not unheard of, was rarely uttered in polite society, much like but more emotionally charged than the use of the F-word or even the N-word are today. But times have changed and as the old Virginia Slims cigarette commercial enticed women, “You’ve come a long way, Baby!”And that they have, for better or worse.

It is not the purpose of this article to discuss the reasons for that change as it relates to what is now called reproductive rights other than to mention the obvious, namely the development of the women’s rights movement, women’s liberation, which not coincidentally sprouted around the same time that agitation for legalized abortion began.

A significant and deadly right claimed by the bra-burning demonstrators of the 1960’s was the right to destroy their pre-born “products of conception” Today, that right has become so ingrained in the American psyche that the act itself is almost commonplace.

It was then that pro-abortionists resorted to the euphemistic label of “pro-choice” to describe themselves and their position.

The Pro-choice movement, however, never took into consideration a choice that should have been the right of the most innocent party in an abortion, namely the pre-born child’s. That tiny being was denied personhood by the highest court in the land in 1973 in its most capricious and far-reaching decision since Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857.

Abortion's Ugly Realities

Abortion in America: A Grisly Reality

As the ardently pro-abortionist President Obama plots to end any and all restrictions on the practice of aborting pre-born babies in the United States and to fund abortions worldwide, it’s time to review the issue. It would be in America's interest for Obama to do the same.

Fifty years ago in our country, the word “abortion,” if not unheard of, was rarely uttered in polite society, much like but more emotionally charged than the use of the F-word or even the N-word are today. But times have changed and as the old Virginia Slims cigarette commercial enticed women, “You’ve come a long way, Baby!”And that they have, for better or worse.

It is not the purpose of this article to discuss the reasons for that change as it relates to what is now called reproductive rights other than to mention the obvious, namely the development of the women’s rights movement, women’s liberation, which not coincidentally sprouted around the same time that agitation for legalized abortion began.

A significant and deadly right claimed by the bra-burning demonstrators of the 1960’s was the right to destroy their pre-born “products of conception” Today, that right has become so ingrained in the American psyche that the act itself is almost commonplace.

Originally, pro-abortionists readily, if not proudly, accepted that label until the rise of the Pro-life movement and the realization of Americans’ general feeling of repugnance at the thought of what an abortion involved. It was then that pro-abortionists resorted to the euphemistic label of “pro-choice” to describe themselves and their position.

Gays and Polls

Something Is Amok with the (Florida) SunSentinel.com

Less than 3 months after Florida voters resoundingly defeated gay marriage in the Sunshine State comes this item from SunSentinel.com: “Let Gays Marry, Adopt, Have Civil Unions, Most Floridians Say [emphasis added]: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/elections/sfl-flbgay0123sbjan23,0,76194.story.

That emphasis was added due to the content of the article which goes on to say, according to a Quinnipiac poll, that 27-35% of all surveyed voters endorsed all those demands of the LGBT, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgendered community.

First and foremost, even 35% can hardly be construed as constituting most Floridians, unless there’s some new math out there which equates one-third with a majority.

Secondly, there must have been a mass upheaval over a very short timespan in the thinking of Floridians regarding gay adoption if, again according to Quinnipiac and SunSentinel.com, 55% now oppose the state law prohibiting such adoptions. (Older, Republican, poorer, and less educated voters are said to be the bigoted culprits who still believe in traditional morality.)

Of course, depending on the poll-takers and the wording of poll questions, any poll can be skewed and that could explain Quinnipiac’s results but nothing can explain SunSentinel.com’s interpreting and reporting that a minority of Floridians means “most Floridians say.”

My personal suspicion is that an LGBT constituent is the headline writer for the Sun Sentinel.

Meet the Press--Obama Style

MEET THE PRESS–Obama Style II

President Barack Hussein Transparency Obama,who had promised a “a new level of transparency” in public life is rapidly retreating to a new level of opaqueness within all of three days into his four year reign.

For those maleducated in American public schools, the word “transparency” in a political context means clarity, openness, honesty, candidness, and visibility as opposed to deceit, artfulness, concealment, secrecy, and opaqueness.

Why anyone would expect Obama to follow through on a pledge of transparency when his entire campaign, from questionable fund raising to his smarmy associations was cloaked in subterfuge and deception is beyond me but a majority of voters still bought into his baloney and voted for the guy.

Go figure but the baloney won’t last the test of time until 2012.

You can take a politician out of Chicago but you can’t take the seamy world of Chicago intrigue and crime out of the politician. Of all Obama’s camp followers, the mainstream media, the MSM, is the first that’s quickly coming to realize that the man is not what he seemed. More precisely, the man is all that he seemed to objective critics, though not to his media lapdogs and therein lay the shocker to them. That media, which never bothered to vet him or insist he serve some meat with his political pap, may be coming to realize he is the ultimate charlatan.

BHM may have been able to fool a press more than willing to be fooled but when he starts messing with their bread and butter, accessibility, the White House Press Corps tends to get downright ornery.

And he has begun messing with that accessibility.

Way back in November, 2007, when Barack Obama was still a “presidential hopeful,” the transparency issue had raised its ugly head with regard to his fund raising secretiveness: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/11/sweet_web_column_obamas_transp.html. That should have been a tipoff but the MSM never ran with it. Lapdogs by definition don’t run with much.

Media-types are somewhat less than pleased when they feel shut out. White House media-types can become all but rabid but instead of frothing in public, they tend to politely vent and save their foamy mouths for more intimate venues and circumstances, such as over a martini at The Reliable Source Bar at the National Press Club in D.C.

They vented at Robert Gibbs,...

Rape, War, and Sharia Law

Rape, War, and Sharia Law in Muslim Nations
Content: “I had thought it was simple.” Thus said the 20 year old brother of a 14 year old Afghani rape victim after he was arrested for using a razor blade to abort his sister’s baby.

The young girl had been raped by a construction worker and had the further misfortune of residing in an orthodox Islamic community where an illegitimate birth meant that she and her family would be treated like pariahs by their fellow Muslims. So her brother, Ali, took her to a cowshed and, as her mother helped restrain her, used the razor blade to slice open her womb. He removed the baby, buried it, then stitched up the wound with coarse string used to tie potato sacks. Ten days later, the girl was taken on a 30 mile donkey ride to a provincial hospital suffering from infection and later, to protect her from family and community members, was evacuated to Bagram Air Base where she remained in critical condition: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=41777.

Although such lurid and grotesque tales are not unheard of in Western, generally Christian societies, they rarely if ever result from religious motivations. More likely it is a jealous rival or a psychotic, wannabe mother who would perpetrate such acts. Sharia Law, based on the Koran or Qur’an, however, condones such measures to atone for the shame visited upon a family by the sin of being a rape victim.

The other side of the Koranic coin, the rapist’s side, is far more forgiving. The Koran mentions no specific punishment for rapists, the probable reason for their receiving light or no civil penalties, while the victim may receive a hundred lashes for causing the crime. The girls, if not stoned to death, are shunned by their fellow Muslims and their opportunities for a future marriage are nil.

Demonstrating a serious inconsistency, that same Koran denounces rape, except in the event of mitigating circumstances, namely the woman’s religion: The Koran encourages the rape of non-Muslim women, according to more than one source, including http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.australian/browse_thread/thread/74aa640b4928eaaa, which cites a number of verses to support that view.: “Koran clearly sanctions this. No Muslims can deny these verses. They are called “ma malakat aymanukum…. The Koran verses are: 23-6, 33-50, 33-52, 33-55, 70-30.”

That sanction and that crime against the Afghani girl and what they say about Muslim thought are interrelated with our wars in the Mideast.

As the war in Iraq seemingly winds down toward a victorious conclusion and as the companion war...

Obama's Friends

THE INAUGURATION PART IV: What You Won’t Read and See on the MSM

Before we’re all caught up in the heady thrill–and propaganda–of the inauguration and the new administration, some perspective is in order. I’ve seen and read articles that are so effusive over Obama and this Age of Change that I was beginning to wonder if I watched a different inauguration and whether all I know about the true Obama and his Obamaniacs was misconstrued.

Then I regained my senses and realize it is not. (See the 50 or 60 previous articles on him on this site.) I’ve seen the man–and he is just a mortal man, contrary to widely reported information–a man extolled for his countless virtues, his elegance, his unflappable demeanor, even for his handwriting skills by Wolf Blitzer.

However, behind the facade, behind that screen, is simply a man, a flawed man like all of us, and his true skills or lack thereof will be seen even on the world stage soon enough. As of now, barely 24 hours into his reign, he can only be judged by his administrative designations and by his executive orders which suggest he has not fully thought through his decisions, (Gitmo), but will follow through on his planned policies to make free and unfettered abortion the law of the land: http://www.lifenews.com/nat4559.html.

Considering the limitations imposed by a paltry day as opposed to the lengthy four which lie ahead, all we have with which to gain a measure of Obama, (aside from his recorded history, of course), is his friends and his supporters. If in any way we are known by the friends we keep, Obama’s friends give cause for trepidation.

One group of friends, (May we call them FOB for Friends of Barack?), was gathered on the Washington Mall as still-President George W. Bush arrived at the inauguration on Tuesday. I would hope that others in the horde of millions who attended the event were not nearly as disgracefully disrespectful as this contingent: http://www.wjno.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=244038&article=4878923.

In the event that video is mysteriously removed from the website of WJNO.com, it depicts a group of blacks hooting, howling, and chanting derisively at Bush. Another video also captured the former president’s helicopter departure: http://www.mydd.com/story/2009/1/21/12149/1143.

But, okay, one or two malcontented groups do not an audience make. Then again, those are simply the only groups who have made it to the Big Time.

Another malcontent, ...

Obama's Gay Agenda

Obama’s Gay Agenda


“President Barack H. Obama is poised to be the most pro-homosexual chief executive in history:” (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=42233)

“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”– Barack Obama, June 1, 2007

Faithful to that promise of candidate Barack Obama, President Barack Hussein Obama has begun dismantling America’s social foundations with plans to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) as well as changing other established policies with regard to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) communities. These are outlined in a detailed posting on the White House website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/civil_rights/.

Headed with the above 2007 quotation by Obama, under the category, “Support for the LGBT Community,” the plan incorporates efforts to:

Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: . . . President Obama cosponsored legislation that would expand federal jurisdiction to include violent hate crimes perpetrated because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability. . .

Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. . .

Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act . . .

Inaugural Uglies

THE INAUGURATION: PART II–Obamanians Rip Our President


Heaps of stories will be forthcoming about this inauguration, its aftermath and its repercussions.

News reports will be filled with hyperbole such as one WABC reporter’s reference to Obama’s inaugural speech as “stirring,” when in fact it was anything but stirring and was punctuated by a frequent pauses as the new president seemed waiting for applause, and none came.

The massive crowd missed its applause lines until the end when screams and howls filled the air but the day is far from over. The applause will continue and swell tonight at the ten inaugural balls being held around the capital as Obama supporters continue their revelry throughout the night.

Presidential inaugurations are somewhat like college commencements when speakers extol the graduates and extend fatuous encouragement for their futures before all head out to commence their careers, filled with infused courage and optimism.

One difference is that the swearing in of a new president and his first address as America’s leader, along with the attendant invocation, prayer, poetry and song, represent an opportunity to fill the American citizenry with hope and confidence as we embark with the president on the next four years.

Inauguration Day 2009 accomplished little of that. The invocation was worthy of the occasion but, following that, the prayer, poetry, song, and Obama’s speech were filled less with hope and good thoughts than they brimmed with insulting rhetoric, uninspiring verse, and failed pretensions to greatness.

Reverend Lowery’s line verbally spanking white people, almost half of whom had voted for a black man was the worst of the lot, although Alexander’s lame effort at an inspiring poem and Obama’s disappointing attempt to be a new Lincoln or JFK weren’t far behind. His speech was devoid of a single memorable phrase and he even fumbled his “oaf” of office, Senator Dianne Feinstein’s word.

Wall Street caught the word about the future by going into a freefall. The Dow lost 332 points, the worst Inaugural Day performance in history.

Behind the public scene, there were health scares with Ted Kennedy’s post-luncheon seizures and Robert Byrd’s premature exit. Earlier, Hillary Clinton and Senator John Cornyn had a heated, gesticulated “discussion” beneath a statue of George Washington, http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0109/Clinton_and_Cornyn_wrangle_in_Rotunda.html.

Reflections on the Inauguration

INAUGURAL REFLECTIONS

Just some musings on the big event that is to occur in the nation’s capital on January 20th, 2009:

…..The oft-heard expression, What would Jesus have done . . . can be applied to Obama’s record-splitting, $170,000,000 inaugural festivities and based on President Obama’s abortion record alone, I’m guessing He wouldn’t show up even if He were invited. If He did grant an appearance, He may ask Obama how many poor that 170,000,000 would feed, clothe, and shelter.

…..Abraham Lincoln no doubt would have gotten an invite but honest-to-a-fault Abe, Obama’s presidential hero and model, should be the last person to be invited. As Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald has pointed out, Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, was adamantly opposed to mixing races and believed African Americans were inferior. Maybe he could be assigned a seat in the back somewhere?

…..Obama may show the world how much he believes in change by showing up at one or more of the dozen or so inaugural balls tie-less, maybe even shirtless to show off his abs as he did on that Hawaii beach last month. The man repeatedly proclaimed he wanted a still undefined “change” so this would be a great way to get the change-ball rolling. Instead of top hat and tails, this could be Obama at the planned at the “Hip Hop Inaugural Ball” at the Harman Center:

…..Last we heard, Obama’s half-bro, George Hussein Onyango Obama, is still eking out a meager survival on $2.00 a month in his shantypad outside Kenya’s capital and will probably be a no-show in D.C. He will just have to be content with having a mention in Barack’s autobiography as a “beautiful boy with a rounded head.”

…..Rev. Jeremiah God-Damn-America Wright will be in attendance, however, since now there’s no need for the pretense that he and “Barry” have been on the outs. The charade need not be continued that Obama and family sat in the pews of Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years and never noticed Wright was an America-hating fruitcake. The election is over and Jeremiah is free to crawl out of his rathole and resume dissing America. . . .

Forrest Gump Attacks Mormons on Prop 8

I confess that I don’t know an awful lot about Mormons aside from the fact most of them live in Utah and, except for small bands of renegades, they gave up believing in polygamy over a century ago.

I’m not even certain they were ever true polygamists since by definition that word refers to the practice of having more than one spouse and, as far as I know, Mormon women weren’t permitted multiple husbands although the men folk could have as many wives as they could handle without the question of bigamy or trigamy entering the picture.

Personally, I think one wife is more than sufficient but that’s not the issue. I do agree with a Dutch proverb which holds, To marry once is a duty, twice a folly, thrice is madness.

Point is, if Mormonism didn’t permit women to wed and bed more than one hubby, were Mormons ever true polygamists? I feel there should be a better term since polyandry, if not strictly forbidden, was certainly not encouraged.

All that aside, the vast preponderance of Mormons today are married to one spouse. They seem to be a very industrious group as well as clean people, much like President-elect Obama was considered a clean African American by Vice President-elect Joe Biden. They also seem to be very religious people, I’d have to say an offshoot of Christianity but still Christians.

On and prior to November 4th, 2008, they demonstrated that religious fervor by generously funding the drive to pass California’s Proposition 8. That initiative was innocuous enough, a re-affirmation of the obvious, namely that a marriage consists of one male and one female, and not any other combination thereof. In any event, Proposition 8 passed in very left wing California and by a substantial majority which re-affirmed my fervent hope that Americans, and Californians, hadn’t gone totally off the deep end of common sense and of fundamental morality.

That passage, however, infuriated the gay community which was incensed that American citizens had exercised their constitutional prerogative and had endorsed the time-honored principle that a male wedding another male or a female wedding another female, or a guy marrying his pet frog, were distortions and aberrations of the institution of marriage, notwithstanding the views of the State of Massachusetts.

Gays went on a national rampage of protests, intimidation, and violence to show they disagreed with the Californian electorate. The rampage got them nowhere except free water and cupcakes when they demonstrated outside Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church.

So, the protests petered out and homosexuals regrouped and probably began planning their next effort to overturn the majority beliefs of Americans in 2010.

At this point, Forrest Gump entered the picture...

REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING, THE GREATEST AMERICAN WHO EVER LIVED

I must today pay homage to the greatest American who has ever lived, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

I personally did not decide that Rev. King was the greatest American who ever lived. That decision was rendered by our federal government in 1983 after 15 years of agitation by Rep. John Conyers, (D. MI), agitation which began four days after King’s assassination in 1968: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/mlkhistory1.html.

A number of states resisted the designation of an MLK holiday, including the last holdout, Arizona, which ultimately, like other states, conceded to protect its tourist industry after threats to bury said industry by MLK -holiday supporters.

All that unpleasantness aside, the third Monday in January has been designated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. That is a unique honor since Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and even FDR and JFK have been mushed into a generic “President’s Day,” celebrated some time in February of each year.

Martin Luther King, Jr. remains the only American who has ever lived who has been honored with a national and state holiday. That must obviously mean he was the greatest American who has ever lived, no?

When do the blockbuster King sales begin?

Abortionist Joy over Obama

Abortionists Must Be Delirious with Joy over Obama Prospects

I can’t say I’ve ever met a happy leftist nor a happy pro-abortionist. Of course, those categories invariably overlap since I’ve never met a leftist who wasn’t pro-abortion and vice versa.

It’s understandable that those of a leftist bent are rarely if ever happy people considering that their entire social/political philosophy revolves around negatives: anti-Americanism, anti-freedom, anti-truth, and anti-life. They are adept at feigning happiness but fail to fool anyone, especially themselves.

Those most committed to abortion rights, aka committed to destroying pre-born life, are easily the most miserable lefties. Yet, they don’t know it. The women of the left have killed untold numbers of their own pre-born children and many, such as Whoopi Goldberg, are astoundingly proud of their actions.

Whoopi is a star in Abortion World. She not only has aborted six of her babies but is so stinking proud of that dubious achievement that she wants reverence for the leftist sacrament that is abortion: http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2007/10/whoopi_goldberg.html.

With the election of Barack Hussein Obama, however, the pro-aborts have many valid reasons for elation,. . .

Teen Sexing Via Texting

TEEN SEX TAKEN TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

As if today’s parents didn’t have enough to worry about, the latest method teens have to drive them loony and send them to counselling or to Tough Love sessions is sending nudie pictures of themselves to girlfriends, boyfriends, classmates, in fact, to the internet universe, although they may be unaware of that last exposure.

Using cell phones while driving and texting while driving are madnesses associated with somewhat older teens who, for some inexplicable reasons, including having passed useless driver ed courses, are granted license to drive on America’s roads and highways.

The younger set, maybe a year or so away from that opportunity to cause vehicular mayhem and, too often, death or maiming to themselves and innocent victims, have discovered their own vehicle of rebellion via cell phones.

Kids between aged one and eighteen have never been known for discretion. Some would say that outside age limit extends to thirty, in some cases. Way back when, teenie indiscretions meant wearing lipstick and makeup and “making out” under the grandstand at high school football games. Closer “back when’s” involved more intimate behavior but still was conduct confined to one, or two, or a few significant others.

For the past year or so, based on news reports, young teens have been letting their raging hormones soar to new, and perilous, heights, letting it all hang out, figuratively and literally.

GWB, Waterboarding, and America's Future

GWB, WATERBOARDING, AND AMERICA’S FUTURE

And so the end is near for George W. Bush’s two terms as President of the United States, after eight years of uneasy peace and bloody war, of unprecedented economic success and financial meltdown, of consolations and controversies, of applause and derision.

All in all, and regardless of distorted and biased reports from the liberal mass media, Bush 2 hasn’t had all that bad a run.

Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard listed Bush’s ten greatest achievements, citing as his first accomplishment his refusal to buy into the Kyoto Accords on the man-made global warming fraud, a policy which our new president will no doubt reverse to the great detriment of the United States. That Bush decision must be considered a very notable if only temporary accomplishment because of that anticipated reversal.

However, Bush’s second great success, according to Barnes’ estimation, should be at the top of any list of GWB’s great deeds.

As Barnes writes of Bush’s second great achievement, ”Second, enhanced interrogation of terrorists. Along with use of secret prisons and wireless eavesdropping, this saved American lives. How many thousands of lives? We’ll never know. But, as Charles Krauthammer said recently, ‘Those are precisely the elements which kept us safe and which have prevented a second attack.’ " (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/986rockt.asp).

GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL COOLING, GLOBAL BS

GLOBAL COOLING/WARMING UPDATES

NEWS FLASH: WINTERS TEND TO BE COLD!

Okay, technically that’s not news but, considering the ongoing and discredited hysteria over global warming, it should be.

Globalwarmists who profit from said hysteria, such as Al Gore and his global- warming compatriots, attribute extreme cold to, what else, global warming, just as they attribute hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados, floods, as well as tooth decay and male impotency, to global warming.

Of course, Al won the Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for his various efforts, including his schlockumentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” so that must mean he’s an expert. Then again, Yassir Arafat won that same Peace Prize and Michael Moore won an Oscar so consider the context of those awards. Also consider my previous post on this topic, http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=722, “The Nobel Prize for Politics,” which provides an update on the globalwarmist charlatans.

If nothing else, we have to admit that those charlatans are dogged, braving on amidst every reasonable observation...

ANN COULTER VS. MICHELLE OBAMA

ANN COULTER VERSUS MICHELLE OBAMA: A QUESTION OF STYLE

In this corner, the contender weighing in at 135 pounds out of New York City, Anorexic Ann Coulter! . . . In the far corner weighing in at 152 out of the Windy City, Mighty Michelle Obama! . . . Now, shake hands, ladies, and have a good fight!

The Coulter-Obama drama hasn’t quite come to fisticuffs, at least not yet, but if it ever did, I’d have to give the edge to Michelle. If it came to a no-holds-barred debate, I’d go with the feistiest and more acerbic, Ann. If it came down to mud wrestling, I’d bet on a draw.

Ann is on a tear lately–as if she’s never on a tear–with her latest book, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and their Assault on America. How she and others, liberals and conservatives, regularly churn out lengthy, researched volumes is mystifying to me, but they do and Coulter does it best when it comes to piercing the liberal jugular and making them yelp.

In her latest, Ann takes aim at, among other liberal targets and icons, the soon-to-be First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Robinson Obama. Never one to pull her punches–Coulter has been called a flame thrower, a bomb thrower, and a dervish as well as being the object of uncomplimentary epithets–Ol’ Annie is taking on a formidable foe this time.

Calling a spade a spade, which term has no racial implications, certain topics in these, the free and semi-independent United States, have been tacitly declared off limits by the powers of political correctness. Those topics would include casting aspersions, whatever their merits, on the state of Israel, on homosexuals, and on Blacks.

It’s still perfectly PC-fine to rip Christianity and, especially Catholicism, to criticize straights who find the gay lifestyle sick and disturbing, and to attack those who point out the extent of Black crime. We of the faithful opposition say bunk to all that! All religions and nations, peoples, and races are flawed. We take issue with the current antipathy in some quarters to Christianity, to America, and to Caucasians.

We are not the religious bigots, the straight bigots, nor the racial bigots. We just demand that our voices be heard in an increasingly liberal, leftist America. If our opposition is interpreted as prejudiced or homophobic or racist, then so be it. Sooner be regarded as bigots by the true agents of bigotry than be regarded as the generation that surrendered to the forces of the actual bigotry and intolerance and to national and moral degradation.

White, Christian, heterosexuals are fed up with all that and we want, we demand as the majority constituency in America, that it be rectified.

Ann Coulter does not accuse Michelle Obama of any of the above nastiness,...

The above are just a few of the threats received by supporters of last November’s Proposition 8 in California as reported by CNSNews.com: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=41735.

The reader may recall that Prop 8 was a proposal to amend California’s Constitution to protect and insure the sanctity of marriage with these 14 words: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” Amazingly, especially for liberal Californians, the measure passed resoundingly by a margin of almost 600,000 votes, or 52.3 % to 47.7%.

(Lest anyone think the Left-Coasters were in a Yea-happy, conservative mood on November 4th, five other propositions went down to defeat of the twelve on the ballot, including Proposition 4 which would have mandated parental notification before aborting a minor’s baby and Prop 5, designed to beef up law enforcement: http://vote.sos.ca.gov/Returns/props/59.htm http://vote.sos.ca.gov/Returns/props/59.htm.)

That should have been it, right? The people had spoken, loudly and unambiguously through a fair and valid constitutional initiative and voted against homosexual marriage in the state of California. Unfortunately, that did not put an end to the controversial movement to permit same sex couples to marry; it was just the beginning.

Immediately following passage, gays took to the streets to protest the measure, protests which are entirely legal and permissible in our great country. What wasn’t legal and permissible was the nature of those protests, detailed previously here in various articles, including this piece which recounts the despicable abuse of straight rights in the name of gay rights: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=645....

MULTICULTURALISM AND TERRORISM: 2009

No one can ever accuse the government of the United States of having an excess of either intelligence or discretion.

The World Trade Center hasn’t even been rebuilt, in fact it’s far from being re-built, yet our State Department in 2008 extended invites to 3400 residents of nations deemed state sponsors of terrorism to come on in!

Out of a total of 50,000, Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Sudan have been allotted thousands of what are called “diversity visas” furnished to nations with low immigration numbers so that they can beef up their emigration to America. The program was mandated by our Congress and implemented by our Foggy Bottomites: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=41385.

Nowadays, it’s considered un-American to question the value of further diversification of our population despite any number of studies, and common sense, that indicate such programs are counterproductive and serve to undermine our national integrity.

Whether termed diversity or by its companion buzzword, multiculturalism, the idealistic concept and its implementation have been shown to function not as an enhancement of our melting pot of peoples but rather as a divisive construct, the effects of which is a balkanization into enclaves of foreigners who speak a language other than English and continue foreign practices, traditions, and cultures rather than seeking absorption into our general population.

See this analysis, “The Absurdity of Multiculturalism,” by Ralph S Musgrave, author and social commentator, http://ideas.repec.org/e/pmu56.html.

Writing principally for a U.K. audience, he thoroughly debunks the fatuous, and perilous, underpinnings of a theory much in vogue today but which actually serves to divide, not simply to diversify: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=41385

We are a nation built on immigration and we need to grow if we are to maintain a viable workforce and our international preeminence but, as Musgrave clearly demonstrates, too many of today’s new arrivals have little interest in becoming a part of their host nations. In America, too few have any interest in becoming part of our monoculture, without which we will devolve into chaos.

That said, an even faster route to devolution is these relatively new diversity visas. It’s one thing to foster new immigration from Canada or Western Europe, at least until those nations are overrun by the forces of Islam. It’s quite another to invite citizens of designated terrorist nations to flock to our shores, take up residence, and possibly to conspire and damage our nation.

There is little empirical data that specifically proves that “diversity visas” have contributed to domestic terrorist activities but a continued influx of immigrants from nations that are known to have engaged in worldwide terror is an obviously senseless national policy. The Cubans, Iranians, Syrians, and Sudanese who settle in the United States may very well be outstanding people but why, a mere seven years after the horror that was 9/11, are we inviting potential problems?

The notorious “Fort Dix Six” are cases in point of the dangers of over-multiculturalization. Six Islamic terrorists/illegal aliens/immigrants, were apprehended and tried for plotting to slaughter soldiers at New Jersey’s Fort Dix military base. Five were found guilty, one plea-bargained out, all were Eastern European Muslims allowed entry to the country by our lax immigration policies and even more lax immigration enforcement: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/04/illegal-alien-sentenced-for-plotting.html.

Their conspiracy may have succeeded if not for an alert store clerk and provisions of the Patriot Act which allowed the FBI to surveil and ultimately to arrest and successfully prosecute the conspirators.

The primary proponents of multicultural diversity, liberal Democrats, despise that same “discriminatory,” “invasive,” and “un-American” Patriot Act. The accompanying video on the above GatewayPundit link, features Democrat Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid bragging, “We killed the Patriot Act.”

The beautiful Lady in the Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, has, for more than a century, extended a welcome to immigrants to America, a welcome unprecedented for any nation on Planet Earth:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

I suggest that when those tired, poor, huddled, homeless, wretched, tempest-tost masses become a dangerous and retrogressive diversification, even Lady Liberty should lower her lamp and say, “Enough is enough! Slam that golden door shut!”

It’s time to close our borders while we still have borders and before the next Muhammed Atta sets up shop here.
