Just Another Preparatory Skirmish?

"Last week, an esteemed Columbia University black architecture professor punched a white female coworker in the eye for not doing more about white privilege.

He has no history of violence. So why now?

Why now? This may be the most important question of our time. Why are some people reaching the boiling point? Why do many others look vacant, like an Invasion of the Body Snatchers? The shootings at military bases, from Little Rock to Fort Hood -- why now?

It's Obama, of course." Read Judy of Berkeley's entire post here -- it is truly excellent.

Read the article snippet from the NY Post here.

Where is Charles Martel Now that We Need Him Again?

Yeah -- I know that this is not OUR Civil War 2.0, iasmuch that it is not happening in our country.

However, this is VERY MUCH OUR WAR in that we are fighting the same global enemy.



Tragic. Read the original lyrics in English -- very ironic:

"Familiar memories
Come to my mind
I see my black student's smock again
On the way to school

Singing rhymes without words,
Old songs from the past,
at the top of my voice
Sweet France

Dear country of my childhood
Rocked with tender unconsciousness
You are in my heart
My town, the steeple, the houses

Where the children of my age
shared my happiness
Yes, I love you
And I offer you this poem

Yes, I love you
In happiness and pain
Sweet France
Dear country of my childhood

Rocked with tender unconsciousness
You are in my heart
I have known wonderful
Landscapes and suns

During long trips
Everything under other skies
But I continue to prefer
My blue sky, my horizon

My road, my river
My prairie and my house."

Bastards!

The Supreme Court's 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London stands as one of the worst in recent years, handing local governments carte blanche to seize private property in the name of economic development.

Now, four years after that decision gave Susette Kelo's land to private developers for a project including a hotel and offices intended to enhance Pfizer Inc.'s nearby corporate facility, the pharmaceutical giant has announced it will close its research and development headquarters in New London, Connecticut.

;

As far as I can tell, establishment media coverage of Pfizer's latest move and its real-world relevance to the Kelo ruling has thus far been non-existent. A Google News search on "Pfizer Kelo" (not in quotes) at 11:00 a.m. came back with a dozen items, none from major establishment media outlets. A search on "Pfizer eminent domain" (again not in quotes) came back with 13, adding only the Hartford Courant report noted above. The Associated Press's coverage of the Pfizer-Wyeth facilities consolidations only says that "Groton, Conn. .... will add 1,500 workers from a nearby New London facility being closed."

The idea that news consumers outside of Connecticut don't have an interest in learning what has really happened at the site involved in the Supreme Court's odious Kelo ruling is patently absurd. Perhaps this four-year blackout has occurred because our journalistic gatekeepers would prefer that we not see a concrete demonstration of what can happen when a government gives in to its authoritarian impulses, and the courts fail in their duty to rein it in.

A Robot?

Or mebbe just a cardboard prop?

Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

Hey -- at least he does something (posing) well. Does that make him a poseur?

Terrorist Watch List -- No Wurize

Yep -- with the FBI, Atty General, Presidiot, Dept of Homeland Security, and Army Sr. Leadership all on duty 24-7 protecting us, we got NO WORRIES.

Nope -- none at all...


President Obama's speech at the Ft. hood memorial ceremonies:

"But this much we do know – no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor."

I call bullshit!

Pisslamic Terrosists Suck -- But Not a Whole Lot

At least that's the meme being purported by our profoundly retarded president.

Randy Rager nails it over at Cold Fury:

"Obama, you are a disgrace to yourself and your office. That you would, on one of our darkest days, a day that any real American would consider a day of infamy, choose to spend your time in conference with a special interest group rather than flying to Ft. Hood to actually be the Commander In Chief we elected you to be, speaks very poorly of you as man and worse of you as a President.

That you would then choose to use your bully pulpit not to move immediately, seriously and with decorum to addressing those tragic events, but rather to giving a “shout out” to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow first, clearly shows you to be a calculating political monster of a stripe I had hoped never to witness holding the office you are currently disgracing.

That you would then mistake Dr. Joe Medicine Crow for a Medal of Honor recipient after you yourself hung the Medal of Freedom around his neck no more than 3 months prior is, to put it mildly, one of the biggest acts of dumbfuckery it has ever been my profound displeasure to witness. Your immediate resignation would hardly begin to recompense the damage you’ve done today. Were you to give away all you own, renounce your citizenship and move to New Delhi to help the poor for the rest of your miserable misbegotten life you would barely begin to atone for this act of utter stupidity.

I shall never again call you President, for you have utterly disgraced yourself and the office."

Video is shown below -- appalling:



CMoH?

Medal of Freedom?

NoBalls Piss Prize?

Grade-School Good Attendance Award?

What's the diff?


I have never had much hope for this guy, but I have finally given up on him completely.
Time to hunker-down for the next three years and hope that we can somehow survive this imbecile.


P.S. Holy Mother-of-G-d!!!!!! Here's the moron PREZIDIOT pushing us to not "jump to conclusions about the shooter's motivations" WTF?!?! Was he a grumpy Scientologist, a pissed-off Presbyterian, mebbe even a frustrated Girl-Scout mad at not selling cookies? No? Well, it's inconceivable that he was simply another in the loong line of Islamic Jihadis who was simply carrying-out the dictums of his religion as docmented within their "holy" book. JWM

Muslim Terrorism and Homicidal Acts -- Inconceivable!

A Fable -- with a Strong Moral

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young hens called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

John's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.

To John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two highly coveted awards by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
