How Obama Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Party Nomination

Subject: txt 2010 crpt bdd vals -
Think those billy club armed New Black Panther thugs in Philadelphia were the first time Obama used Stalinist tactics to intimidate voters and disenfranchise the American people?

Think again.

In testimony this week before Congress, former Justice Department Official J. Christian Anderson revealed that not only were similar claims “pervasive”, but Obama activists committed the “same” crimes during the 2008 Democratic primary to help then Sen. Obama defeat Democratic heir apparent Hillary Clinton...

The black klan

Subject: txt hots 1st bdd vals doj - panthers -
J. Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney, is blowing his we-the-people whistle on DOJ after it dropped all charges against the members of the New Black Panther Klan who were blatantly and irrefutably guilty of voter intimidation in Philadelphia in 2008.

The egregious, craven tactics of the New Black Panther Party Klan were caught on video. One of the racist punks is carrying a pipe or stick of some type with the clear intent of intimidating voters attempting to enter the Philadelphia voting location.

Dumb power, baby...

Why isn't the media covering the paramilitary aspect of the Black Panther case?

Subject: txt 1st bdd vals msm -
Why, in all the media coverage of the Black Panther voting intimidation case, is no one, and I mean absolutely no one, addressing the paramilitary aspect of this issue, where jackbooted, thugs wearing leather jackets and badge-adorned, black berets, obviously intend to communicate through their uniform appearances a menacing solidarity of purpose?

Does not the wearing of those uniforms imply the ominous and looming presence of a more widespread and more frightening paramilitary organization to the voters of that precinct?

And why is no one even asking this question?

MSM Misses Rhode Island Parallel to Ariz. Immigration Law for Nearly Three Months

Subject: txt hots immig msm -
Preconceived notions are dangerous things in journalism. They cause one to assume facts that aren't in evidence, leading to false or incomplete results.

A classic example has played out in the nearly three months since Arizona passed its "1070 law." Among other things, it mandates that law enforcement officials verify citizenship status in situations involving police contact if they have a reasonable suspicion that someone is not in the country legally.

It seems that virtually everyone covering the story has been assuming that Arizona's law is the first of its kind. Well, maybe as a "law" it is. But in Rhode Island, of all places, Boston Globe reporter Maria Sacchetti finally noticed on July 6 (HT Hot Air) that police have been doing what Arizona will start doing on July 29 since 2008 as a result of a gubernatorial executive order:

R.I. troopers embrace firm immigration role

In contrast to Mass., they report all who are present illegally...

POLL: 56% Oppose Justice Department Challenge of Arizona Law; 61% Favor Similar Law In Their State

Subject: txt hots immig -
Voters by a two-to-one margin oppose the U.S. Justice Department's decision to challenge the legality of Arizona's new immigration law in federal court. Sixty-one percent (61%), in fact, favor passage of a law like Arizona's in their own state, up six points from two months ago.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 28% of voters agree that the Justice Department should challenge the state law. Fifty-six percent (56%) disagree and another 16% are not sure.

America In Retreat

Subject: txt intl nsec owg -
It is well known that George W. Bush left office with low approval ratings and with sighs of relief from many foreign leaders. In contrast, Barack Obama rode a wave of popularity into the White House and the chancelleries of much of the world. But now, eighteen months into the Obama presidency, have Obama's self-consciously multilateralist policies engendered popularity abroad?

By and large, no. America's enemies gloat at their gains, but like America no more. America's friends languish in diffident anxiety, though they like America no less.

Put simply, Obama's policy pleases America's foes and unsettles America's friends...

US should better define, counter Islamic extremism

Subject: txt gwot nsec islm -
The Obama administration's recent move to drop references to Islamic radicalism is drawing fire in a new report warning the decision ignores the role religion can play in motivating terrorists.

Several prominent counterterror experts are challenging the administration's shift in its recently unveiled National Security Strategy, saying the terror threat should be defined in order to fight it.

The question of how to frame the conflict against al-Qaida and other terrorists poses a knotty problem. The U.S. is trying to mend fences with Muslim communities [?] while toughening its strikes against militant groups...

Islamic Law Comes to Dearborn

Subject: txt islm -
Is it illegal to preach Christianity to Muslims in America now?

Acts 17 Apologetics, a Christian evangelistic group, was banned from passing out fliers at this year’s Arab Festival in Dearborn, Mich., but they went to the festival anyway and ended up getting arrested.

On Saturday, I got this message from David Wood of Acts 17:

“Muslims threatened to kill Nabeel [Qureshi, an ex-Muslim and David’s colleague] and me if we showed up again at Arab Fest in Dearborn, so we went there yesterday. They didn’t kill us, but the police arrested us and hauled us to jail..."

Nor was what happened to David and Nabeel an isolated incident.

In June 2009, law enforcement again caved to the demands of Islamic supremacists in Dearborn, in breach of rights guaranteed in the Constitution. The Dearborn Police Department told the group Arabic Christian Perspective (ACP) that they could not hand out literature to Muslims at the Arab Festival on public sidewalks, but had to stay on a single corner and not mingle among the people at the festival.

Dearborn has also prohibited the running of our Freedom Defense Initiative religious liberty bus campaign that offers help to Muslims threatened for leaving Islam.

For that, I am suing.

Muslims seem to be craving a civil war in the Detroit area. Where is the inter-faith dialogue, the building of bridges, the mutual respect, mutual understanding?

It only goes one way with Islam. These are fancy terms for surrender...

America's PIGS

Subject: txt sclm -
Europe is in turmoil because of the insolvency of the Southern European welfare state. The PIGS—Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, countries with relatively unproductive economies and relatively generous welfare states—are collapsing, and they are dragging the rest of Europe down with them.

But America has its own PIGS: states like California, Illinois, and New York that are on the leading edge of socialism in our own country, and which are also approaching insolvency and threatening to drag the rest of the nation's economy down with them.

Barack Obama's home state has already reached insolvency. The article below indicates that Illinois has run out of money and simply stopped paying some of its bills—and also that the state is politically paralyzed and unable to take any steps to solve the crisis, because no one in the political establishment is willing to cut government spending.

If the crisis in Southern Europe is a warning of where America is headed, the crisis of America's PIGS is a warning about how bad things already are.

MSNBC: America: Pay More Welfare Or Become 'Third-World Country'

[Meanwhile, in our unbiased major media...]




Ed's on a crusade to have unemployment insurance payments extended. Note: unemployment "insurance." So once payments are extended beyond what's provided for, it's no longer insurance: it's welfare.

The Climategate Whitewash Continues

Subject: txt intl grn owg -
Last November there was a world-wide outcry when a trove of emails were released suggesting some of the world's leading climate scientists engaged in professional misconduct, data manipulation and jiggering of both the scientific literature and climatic data to paint what scientist Keith Briffa called "a nice, tidy story" of climate history. The scandal became known as Climategate.

Now a supposedly 'independent' review of the evidence says, in effect, "nothing to see here."

Last week "The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review," commissioned and paid for by the University of East Anglia, exonerated... the University of East Anglia...

Why Kagan Is Unqualified -- and Dangerous

Subject: txt lgl -
Despite being thoroughly unqualified to occupy the bench, Elena Kagan will most likely be confirmed to the Supreme Court. This is because most of our hundred senators are almost as unqualified to judge a judge as she is to be one.

What is the proper criterion to apply? Well, a simple analogy illustrates the point best. Let's say you needed to hire a football referee. If he said that he was a "pragmatic" referee, who viewed the rule book as "living" and thus would interpret the rules to suit the "times," would he be your man?

Mechanical Failure

The Democrats are pushing for yet another stimulus package to revive our moribund economy.

President Obama has urged deficit-wary moderates to get on board, calling the bill “essential” to addressing the ongoing economic “emergency.” A handful of senators stand in his way, unopposed to the spending in principle but unwilling to vote for another bill that adds to this year’s $1.3 trillion deficit.

If the Democrats prevail, it will be the third time that Congress has extended provisions of the 2009 stimulus bill since its passage in February of last year, all with nothing to show for it...

Sen. Hatch Calls for Repeal of Obamacare Mandates



“I’ve been working to dismantle Obamacare,” declared Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT). “We have to fight this terrible law that’s a threat to liberty itself.” These comments came during a June 21st blogger conference call held by Sen. Hatch in which he sought to rally support for two bills aimed at representing “a strategic attack on the central tenants of Obamacare.” The American Liberty Restoration Act (S. 3502) would strike forthcoming individual mandates from the current law, while the American Job Protection Act (S.3501) would repeal what Hatch calls, a “job-killing employer mandate.”

WaPo Writer Attempts to Kickstart New 'Grassroots' Coffee Party Via Another Name




Yes, Ms Thompson writes yet another article about a "grassroots" liberal alternative to the Tea Party movement. If you have a feeling of "been there, done that," it is because Thompson's hype about the "One Nation" movement sounds almost identical to all the PR the mainstream media gave to the faded Coffee Party a few months ago. And the reason why Thompson dare not mention the Coffee Party is that it has devolved into a laughable parody of itself with aimless group therapy sessions dominated by founder Annabel Park as you can see in this video with a grand total of 915 YouTube views as of this writing.

Meanwhile stifle your yawns as Thompson plugs yet another supposedly grassroots organization while carefully avoiding mention of you-know-what:
