The Rotten Core of the Common Core: Part Ten

The Rotten Core of the Common Core: Part Ten

It’s no secret that President Barack Hussein Obama is a United Nations’ globalist and not a patriotic nationalist.  He has said that our country is no more exceptional than France or England or Germany–or Burundi or Algeria or Myanmar, for that matter–since a claim of national exceptionalism would smack of elitism, superiority, and arrogance.
Obama is well known for his personal senses of elitism, superiority, and arrogance but he viscerally abhors any perceptions that America should share those traits.

So, to accomplish his goals of equality, he and his henchmen created the Common Core State Standards Initiative with the complicity of the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) in order to dumb-down American education and level the educational playing field with those Burundians, et al.

That, of course, is a contentious allegation.  However, as shown in previous posts in this series, there can be little doubt the Obama administration has been the guiding force behind the educational abomination known as the Common Core.

As with any other radical, revolutionary movement, (pre-Communist Czarist Russia and pre-Nazi Germany in the last century), intimidation of opponents is a requisite to shutting them up.

Twenty-year Missouri kindergarten teacher Susan Kimball represents a case in point: a veteran teacher bullied by her bosses.  And here I foolishly thought bullying was unacceptable in schools!

Unlike countless others, Ms. Kimball refused to be bullied.  She bravely testified before the Missouri Senate Education Committee in support of a bill that prohibited implementation of Common Core State Standards in Missouri’s public schools.  She swore under oath that she and other teachers have been intimidated ever since  they began voicing opposition to the Rotten Core.

As she testified, “I have been strongly discouraged from saying anything negative about Common Core by my administration and some School Board members.”

Ms. Kimball added the chilling note that, “In a professional development meeting, um, in-service in November, and at a faculty meeting in January, we were told in my building, and I quote, ‘Be careful about what you post on Facebook, or talk about in the public regarding Common Core. Don’t say anything negative. It could affect your job.”

On the bright side, at least she wasn’t threatened, so far, with consignment to a gulag or a gas chamber for her intransigence.

On the dark side, a leaked email from the deputy executive director of the aforementioned CCSSO, a “non-profit” corporation that owns copyrights to the Common Core standards, indicates the CCSSO is trying to mobilize Common Core supporters . . .

Obama's "Most Feared Reporter," Sharyl Attkisson

Obama's "Most Feared Reporter," Sharyl Attkisson

 

CBS News’ announcement last August that investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson’s personal computer had  been hacked by “an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions” wasn’t the first indicator that something was seriously amiss between CBS and Attkisson.
Oddly or not so oddly, the network has yet to determine just who was responsible though unproven suspicions run deep that Attkisson’s computer was hacked either by someone at CBS or by agents of President Barack Hussein Obama.  After all, who had more to gain?

Following a cursory investigation, CBS spokeswoman Sonya McNair said, ”Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data. This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.”

It seems the intruding party in question was something of an expert at the fine art of hacking.

For obvious reasons, McNair failed to mention that Attkisson was widely known as the White House’s “most feared reporter” or that her employer is widely recognized as one of the president’s more rabid supporters.

The married, 53 year old Attkisson, a veteran, 20 year CBS employee who boasts a third degree taekwondo black belt, was finally allowed to resign on March 10th after unsuccessfuly attempting to break her contract a year ago.  She didn’t intimidate Obama with her martial arts skills but rather by her distinctively no-nonsense approach to getting at the truth in news stories, truth he and his minions didn’t especially like.

Just coincidentally, she had been doggedly investigating the murderous debacle in Benghazi–after exposing the “Fast and Furious” and Solyndra cover-up scandals–when her computer was hacked. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36414.)

Guns, Egyptians, Nitwits, and Black Swans

Guns, Egyptians, Nitwits, and Black Swans

 

The following four videos involve a young girl instructing grown men and women on the inherent fallacies of gun control, an Egyptian woman demonstrating gross ingratitude toward America’s president, a black congresswoman showing that ignorance isn’t confined only to the illiterate, and swans and goldfish setting an excellent example for race relations in our country.

On Thursday, a superspunky 9 year old New Jersey girl, who will remain  unidentified here to protect her from anti-gun nuts since she happens to be an active, competitive shooter, testified before the New Jersey Law and Public Safety Committee. 

The subject at hand related to a proposed 10-round gun magazine limit and Ms. Spunky had to school the Garden State legislators on the realities, legalities, and practicalities of the useless proposal.

Amazingly, she was received respectfully and applauded enthusiastically by the predominantly-Democrat, predominantly-gun control advocates.  It remains to be seen whether her testimony will sway the Dems to vote rationally or whether they will succumb to pressure from misguided constituents who still ardently believe that guns and not people kill other people.

See lil Ms. Spunky’s riveting testimony and the reaction here http://tinyurl.com/pow28r6.
A much different vid captured an Egyptian woman and supporter of deposed Egyptian dictator Mohamed Morsi demanding that the Muslim world’s once-favorite American president, Barack Hussein Obama, “shut up your mouth.”

The rather incensed, gap-toothed woman clearly articulates her venom by screaming the obviously-rehearsed rant, “I’d like to convey the following message to Obama. Listen, Obama. We are Egyptian women. You are listen, Obama? Shut up your mouth, Obama. Shut up your mouth, Obama!” (http://tinyurl.com/obmluks)

How utterly rude of her!  It seems she is unaware that the guy she is telling to shut up is the same guy who has often expressed his deep love and admiration for all things Islamic and is widely suspected of being a closeted Muslim!

Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee proved once again that low-information voters will cast their ballots for just about anyone . . . (Read more and see the other videos at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36311.)

The Rotten Core of the Common Core: Part Nine

The Rotten Core of the Common Core: Part Nine

 

As expected, the rotten core of the Common Core gets more rotten by the week, if not by the day.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is that Lincoln has been proven absolutely right in saying, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” 


Parents and elementary school kids have almost become accustomed to Core’s Byzantine solutions to simple math problems; parents of high schoolers are regularly shocked with the trashy novels their tenth graders are required to read; educators are bewildered as to the necessity of the constant testing and their resulting need to “teach to the test.”

Now comes verification of the reality many of us have been saying all along, namely that the basic principles of the Common Core State Standards Initiative were not state initiatives at all.  They were not hatched in America’s 50 states, nor by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers but were in fact the misbegotten brainchildren of President Barack Hussein Obama’s liberal-leftist White Houses coterie who are using arm-twisting to coerce states to adopt the rotten Core.

Last week, Andy Smarick at Core-supporter Thomas B. Fordham Institute complained that Obama’s education budget proposal gave the administration credit for so many states signing on to Common Core not because it was untrue but because, “The anti-Common Core forces will likely use this language as evidence that Common Core was federally driven,” which it obviously is.

Furthermore, according to the Cato Institute, President Obama is not only now taking credit for the idea but “almost certainly wants to make the Core permanent by attaching annual federal funding to its use.”  That would be the aforementioned federal coercion cudgel employed to keep cash-strapped states and school districts obsequiously in line or risk being denied access to the fed money pot.  


When your enemies attack you, it’s anticipated.  When your friends attack you, it’s either a sign they’re not true friends or that they don’t like what your saying or doing.

The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in America, is one of the truest friends of the federal government and the president so when the NEA turned on the Core, it means trouble in River City and across the nation. . . .

The Zach and Barry (6-Minute) Comedy Hour

The Zach and Barry (6-Minute) Comedy Hour

 

President Barack Hussein Obama would be the last to deny he’s infatuated with all things Hollywood and sometimes seems to be auditioning for a role in a comedy flick.  In fact, many people believe he’s entertaining and often as laughable as Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, especially when Barry commits one of his many alleged gaffes and bloopers. 
They must be intentionally idiotic remarks since they’re so dumb they make Joe look like a Rhodes Scholar and they couldn’t possibly have been true gaffes and bloopers allegedly uttered by a noted constitutional scholar!

After all, maybe America really does have 57 or 58 states and maybe “corpse” is an alternate pronunciation of “corps” and maybe Special Olympics kids are as klutzy as Obama is at bowling, etc. etc. etc. 

Barry has already tried his hand at stand-up comedy–during his rare press conferences in front of friendly audiences consisting predominantly of his avid fans among the White House Press Corps. 

However, he really went Hollywood when he went toe-to-toe in a sit-down skit with comedian Zach Galifianakis on Galifianakis’ Web show “Between Two Ferns” on the website Funny or Die in which Galifianakis asks celebs uncomfortable questions hoping his they will say something funny.

Well, the president of the United States didn’t disappoint in his Bud Abbott-like straight man role opposite Galifianakis’ Lou Costello.  He was indeed funny but not in the usual sense of the word.  He was funny as in odd and incongruous considering he holds the disputable position as Leader of the Free World and here he was trying to pull off a comedy sketch that, as per most accounts, flopped Big Time.

As ShowBiz411.com observed, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36274.)

AARP's Two Masters, Mammon and Obama (Part One)

AARP's Two Masters, Mammon and Obama (Part One)

 

PART ONE: AARP and Mammon

AARP’s advertised motto, “To serve, not to be served,” mischaracterizes both the purpose and function of the 56 year old organization.

Formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, a name changed when it decided it could rake in more money by opening its doors to anyone over 50 retired or not, and originally known as the National Retired Teachers Association until it branched out for the same reason, AARP principally serves two masters, their pagan god of greed, Mammon, and their political god, Barack Hussein Obama.  

Any services provided to AARP’s 40 million gullible members are entirely tangential. 

For those unaware, when you hit the ripe old age of 50 and whether you’re interested or not, AARP will undoubtedly send you a membership card and invite you to join the ranks of those millions of others who foolishly believe they are in the business of looking out for the best interests of America’s elderly and soon-to-be elderly and who are oblivious to the truth that the organization makes over a billion dollars annually from advertisers and promoters of its wide variety of offerings.

None of this is meant in any way to disparage money-making in our capitalistic economic system. 

Rather, what’s repugnant is that AARP still presents itself as a peoples’ advocate or, as CEO A. Barry Rand says on their website, “AARP helps you live the best life at any age.” 

Add to that baloney the fact that it is deep in President Obama’s pocket and subserviently supports every policy the administration supports however detrimental to members those policies may be, AARP could very well be the greatest corporate charlatan in America. 

AARP hopes to accomplish the lofty goal of bettering everyone’s lives by peddling, at a hefty profit, everything from life insurance to long-term care insurance to health insurance to auto insurance to homeowners’ and renters’ insurance, to the biggest boondoggle of all, Medigap policies. 

In addition, they sell loss leaders like driver safety courses as well as a whole slew of other “benefits” you may never need or want but all of which accrue to the benefit of AARP’s bottom line. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36254.)

Is World War III Beginning in Ukraine?

Is World War III Beginning in Ukraine?

 

World War I, optimistically dubbed the “war to end all wars,” didn’t begin because Gavrilo Princip assassinated Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie by on June 28th, 1914 but because the rabble of Europe had long been embroiled in their petty and major squabbles that were resolvable had they wanted resolution; the assassinations were nothing more than the catalyst for a conflict that would have erupted sooner or later anyway due to the European penchant for warring.

World War II didn’t begin because Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939 but because the Western powers had failed to enforce the Treaty of Versailles by permitting Hitler to remilitarize the Rhineland in March 1936, by failing to intervene when he annexed Austria in 1938, and by acquiesing in his seizure of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia; those failures were the direct result of the prevailing pacifism in the West which sought “peace for our time” at any cost.

The First World War led to the deaths of 37 million people, the Second to the loss of 60 million lives.  If and when it comes, World War III promises to dwarf those numbers and, like the previous conflicts, could be avoided given competent and courageous leadership on the part of the presumptive “Leader of the Free World,” America’s President Barack Hussein Obama. 

Based on his proven record of dithering hesitancy, terminal international naiveté, and questionable interest in anything aside from campaigning, fund raising, and golf, we shouldn’t expect much, and that’s exactly what we’re getting. 

Mercifully not yet a fait accompli, the opening salvos of the Third World War may already have been heard in Ukraine.

Despite Obama’s dire public warning to Russia on Friday that there would be (typically unspecified) costs for any military intervention in Ukraine, a threat that probably gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a hearty chuckle and provoked Russian lawmakers to ask for the recall of the country’s ambassador to America, nothing  changed.

Despite Obama’s 90 minute Saturday phone call to Putin vapidly expressing his ”deep concern over Russia’s clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity” and urging Putin to de-escalate tensions by withdrawing  his invading troops back to Crimea, nothing changed.

Despite the request by the United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for “an immediate restoration of calm and direct dialogue between all concerned to solve the current crisis” in Ukraine and his vow to call Putin to express his “grave” concerns, nothing changed.

Well, “nothing changed” isn’t quite correct.  

Changes have occurred, none of them good and all of them the consequences of our weak and disrespected president. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36065.)

When Does the Insanity Stop?

When Does the Insanity Stop?

 

 

The recent announcement by Obama’s Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel that he plans to reduce the United States Army to pre-World War II levels and eliminate an entire class of Air Force attack jets thus crippling our Armed Forces and rendering America vulnerable in the event we are forced to confront our enemies make it seem the administration is hell bent on destroying us. 

In actuality, though, we’ve been well on our way to destroying ourselves for years.

In fact, our great nation is on a slippery slope toward mass insanity based on what we’re doing to ourselves and on how little we give a damn about what  people are doing to us. 

The following is merely a very small sampling of instances which demonstrate America’s insanity–and her suicidal tendencies:  

–”Fatal Crashes involving marijuana use tripled during the decade, according to researchers from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. The pot related accidents have helped fuel the overall increase in drugged-driving traffic deaths.”

Yet, with the unstated blessings of our admitted pothead president and inspired by greed, Democrat politicians in Colorado have legalized marijuana use and a number of other states are planning similar legislation with little or no thought given to how many accidents such laws will cause or what effect they will have on kids.  

–In California, Democrat Governor Jerry Brown released some 1,400 lifers, a record number of criminals convicted of murder, rape, and kidnapping and sentenced to life imprisonment, who will now be roaming California’s streets

Yet, Governor Moonbeam, a potential candidate for the Democrats’ 2016 presidential nomination, expressed little concern over how many more murders, rapes, and kidnappings the former convicts will commit thanks to his boundless, liberal generosity.

Hoovervilles and Obamavilles

Hooverville's and Obamavilles

 

In the estimation of many economists today, Republican President Herbert Hoover C. Hoover was unfairly saddled with the blame for the Great Depression.

In fact, the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act which greatly contributed to that massive, economic and social collapse had been enacted two years before his election; the stock market crash of 1929 occurred less than eight months after he took office; and he had instituted public works projects long before Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s brain trust thought of comparable New Deal programs.

An astute and experienced engineer, Hoover promoted government efficiency to combat systemic government waste and inefficiency as well as the need for public volunteerism in American society and in the economic sphere.  Nevertheless, he was crushed in the 1932 presidential election by FDR who never did get us out of the Great Depression until he hit on the idea of involving America in World War Two by virtually inviting Japan to attack Pearl Harbor.

As the Depression deepened and millions lost their jobs and homes, shantytowns, mainly but not exclusively located near major cities, began cropping up around the country.  Those ramshackle collections of the destitute and dispossessed came to be known as Hoovervilles and became the single most vivid embodiment of Hoover’s “failures”–and a major cause of his electoral defeat.

Ironically, America under the Democrat administration of President Barack Hussein Obama, champion of the destitute, the dispossessed and oppressed, is now witnessing a re-birth of Hooverville’s, only, this time around, they’re being described as Obamavilles, reflecting their residents’ belief that Obama is the primary cause of their sorry plight. . .  (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35897.)

Why Isn't the Military Coming to Help Us? Part Two

Why Isn't the Military Coming to Help Us?  Part Two

 

 

(Part One dealt with an American soldier’s explanation of why our military may not come to the defense of Americans should the current deterioration of our civil order lead to another civil war.  His letter sheds light on a problem that is becoming more and more frightening everyday.  Some have wondered why the military doesn’t come to our aid against the tyrannical administration which is currently devastating our country. 

 

The short answer: They can’t. 

Part Two deals with evidence that America’s president and his liberal-leftist administration may already be preparing for a second American civil war in which the military will be on their side.)

Almost a year ago, in “Where Have All the Bullets Gone? And Other Civil Questions,” I asked a few semi-rhetorical questions:

–Where have all the 1.4 billion bullets purchased last year and the 600,000 recently purchased by our Department of Homeland Security (for a grand total of two billion .40 caliber, 9mm, and now hollow point bullets) gone and where are they going?

–Where have all the 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles, (MRAPs), retrofitted fighting vehicles designed to survive improvised explosive devices, ambushes, and land mines, gone and where are they going?

–Where have all the drones, which Attorney General Holder said “could conceivably. . . [be used by the military] if necessary to protect the homeland” before he retracted that outrage by denying Obama would ever “use drone strikes against American citizens on American soil,” gone and where are they going?

–Where have all the 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, the supplies of body armor, and the riot gear requisitioned by the DHS over the past two years gone and where are they going? 

In “What the Hell Is Going on with Obama’s FEMA,” I wondered why the president’s Federal Emergency Management Agency is setting up internment camps and has purchased thousands of coffin liners. 

Obama never did address the coffin liners but he did try to explain the necessity of the camps which he euphemistically called “Prolonged Detention” camps–to distinguish them from concentration  camps.  Through his favorite end-run around Congress and the Constitution, our commander in chief issued executive orders establishing the non-concentration camps for the purpose of protecting Americans in the event of a national security emergency. 

In addition to setting up the detention facilities, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35809.)

Why Isn't the Military Coming to Help Us?

Why Isn't the Military Coming to Help Us? (Part One)

“Why Isn’t the military coming to help us?”

Help us do what?

In explanation of that question, Jodi Swan wrote, “A soldier’s letter sheds light on a problem that is becoming more and more frightening everyday.  Some have wondered why the military doesn’t come to our aid against the tyrannical administration which is currently devastating our country. 

This is one brave military man’s response to that question:”

“Here’s the problem for us soldiers: we can’t trust each other, as there are those who are extreme liberals, socialists, and those who love the current administration.  We’re infiltrated with these traitors and we don’t know how to organize without others turning us in and sabotaging our plans.  That’s just one problem.  Outside of that, as an organization we have become plagued with disfunction [sic], toxicity, illness, injuries, and betrayal.  It does not allow for a good foundation at the current moment for us to clean house for a country.  They know this. They created the environment as it is right now.  We didn’t see it until it was too late. Militants are forming, but in small pockets, and unable to fully unite and plan our strategies in secrecy.  And there are watch dogs out there watching us attempt to plan.  I’m sure every word I am typing right now is watched. . . .

The Perils of Presidential Paranoia

The Perils of Presidential Paranoia

 

The British website Mind.org.uk explains that “Everybody experiences suspicious or irrational thoughts from time to time.”
Mind.org.uk categorizes those thoughts as paranoid “when they are exaggerated and there is no evidence that they are true.”  Paranoid symptoms include irrational expectations that something bad will happen to you, that others are responsible for whatever happens, and that you harbor baseless  anxieties which may include psychological, physical, or financial harm.

Most of us are familiar with the most common forms of paranoia such as delusional fears of persecution, non-existent conspiracies, and personal threats, all of which are characterized by a general sense of distrust resulting in unfounded accusations–and most of which are reflected in the actions and statements of President Barack Hussein Obama.

Thanks to the Secret Service, the president should certainly have little fear of any imminent personal harm and, thanks to his status as a millionaire,  he should suffer little anxiety over his financial future.

However, the past few weeks have provided unmistakable evidence that Obama and, therefore, we his subjects and our country, are in very serious straits due to our president’s reality disconnect and inability to accept responsibility or blame for anything he does or says.

For example, while entertaining his fellow socialist president, France’s Francois Hollande at Thomas Jefferson’s estate, Monticello, and viewing a terrace from which Jefferson loved to admire the landscape, Obama showed that reality disconnect when he mused to Hollande, “That’s the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want.”

Last I heard, Obama is the elected president of the United States of America and not France’s Louis XVI who was guillotined some 231 years ago by his own people. And, no sane Americans would wish that fate for him–if for no other reason than it would surely ignite a race war.

More importantly, as a much-touted constitutional scholar, Obama had to have been fully aware that he cannot constitutionally do anything he wants.

The only functions granted to the executive branch of our government is for the president to serve as head of state, Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, and to implement and enforce laws written by Congress. 

What is definitely not granted to him are absolutist powers or the right to ignore laws or to write his own, despite his tendency to ignore laws he doesn’t like, bypass congressional law-writing authority through excessive use of executive actions, and re-write and change established law such as his Affordable Care Act.

Those unconstitutional tendencies belie a paranoid personality that seeks refuge from his enemies in extreme delusions of omnipotent grandeur which are reflected in Obama’s thinking he has the powers of Louis XVI, including the power of making laws. 

If the Founding Fathers had wanted another Louis, they would have founded a monarchy instead of a democratic republic.

The president’s pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly provided even more concrete evidence of his paranoia. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35688.)

New Islamic Atrocities

New Islamic Atrocities

 

No matter the repetitive and redundant clarifications and interpretations concerning the ancient teachings of Islam’s Holy Prophet issued by his followers today, no clarification or interpretation can reasonably deny that Muhammad was a monomaniacal, sadistic warrior who brooked no opposition and utterly destroyed anyone and everyone who did dare oppose him, even when his actions directly contradicted the more peaceful prohibitions of Allah in Islam’s Qur’an.
(See ProphetofDoom.org, “Islam’s Dogma of Terror in Muhammad’s Own Words,” which extensively details those actions as well as the Holy Prophet’s penchant for womanizing and pedophilia.)

Muhammad actually goes a long way in explaining atrocities committed by his Muslim adherents today, bloody, soul-less atrocities that are usually covered up by American purveyors of political correctness despite the events of September 11th, 2001, etc.

For example, in that bastion of liberalism, Norway, which has generously welcomed tens of thousands of Muslims to its shores, was rewarded again by a gang of four young immigrant Muslims who gang-raped a Norwegian child on an elementary school playground.  After being arrested, they  blamed her for seducing them and claimed they were unaware they had done anything wrong, I guess because Islam regards women and girls as not much better than dogs and camels.

The punishment for their horrendous crime? A fine and community service, in the hope that would really teach them a lesson!  

Thankfully, most of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims still reside in predominantly Muslim countries, although not thankfully for most of those residents.

You see, Muhammad’s faithful are an extremely religious people who pray five times a day to Allah before, during, and after they carry out his wishes. One Syrian man learned the hard way that you had better not be accused of not praying often enough, or drinking too much, or collaborating with the enemies of al-qaeda.

A video gone viral captures him begging for mercy at his public, open-air “trial.”  After he’s forced to pray, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,” he’s denied a quick death with a bullet and suffers excruciating pain as a masked executioner patiently and literally saws his head off with a machete that must have had a dull blade. 

Other Syrians have been warned, al-qaeda has made its bloody point, and Allah is seemingly happy.

Beheadings are a big Muslim favorite and when there are multiple beheadings they become virtual extravaganzas!

In Idlib, Syria, al-qaeda rebels got hold of some local Christian men, their favorite victims, and accused them of giving aid and comfort to Syrian President Bashar el-Assad.

Cheered on by a massive bunch of their supporters and families on a hillside, their ringleaders read a list of the Christians’ “crimes,” including failure to worship Allah and unsubstantiated charges of helping Assad.  The executioner then pushed the victims to the ground and began slicing into their necks until he had detached their heads, at which point he lifted them high into the air to show off his work and followed the barbarity by putting the heads onto their dead bodies.

To enhance the entertainment value of the atrocity, the executioner decapitated the evil Christians not with a machete but with a small knife, a more laborious task but one which insured longer-lasting and greater pain for the infidels, which must have delighted his bloodthirsty Muslim audience.

 

Also in Syria, Muslim militants seized the city of Qusair last year, causing Christians to run for their lives since the so-called Religion of Peace has no tolerance for them and tends to murder them.  Mariam, a 15 year old Christian girl, didn’t run fast enough. . .

Tracking the "Knockout Game"

Tracking the "Knockout Game"

 

When U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced last December that, “Evidence of hate crimes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted with the assistance of all our partners to the fullest extent of the law,” there was a glimmer of hope that Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice was finally taking action against the very popular, black “knockout game” epidemic which has been sweeping the nation with bloody, sometimes fatal,
consequences.

Anyone who thought that Holder would bother himself or the DoJ with black crime in America must be fatally naïve.

Magidson wasn’t referencing black hate crimes but rather the rare instance of a stupid white man trying to join in “playing” the black “knockout game” by unconscionably assaulting an elderly black man.

(Americans should be aware by now that, in Holder’s racist world, white crime=bad, black crime=not so bad.)

Demonstrating he knew well the protocols of the “game,” Conrad Alvin Barrett followed them to a “T” by cold-cocking his defenseless victim, breaking his jaw, laughing and yelling “knockout” as he attacked him, videotaping the senseless attack, and later sharing it all with his buddies.

Barrett’s attorney claimed his client suffers from bipolar disorder and was off his meds at the time but Barrett still faces a possible $250,000 fine and ten years in prison for his “knockout” hate crime.

Coincidentally, Barrett’s potential sentence–minus the fine–is identical to that meted out to 18 year old Jesse Smithers by a Stearns County, Minnesotta judge who sentenced 18-year-old Jesse Smithers to 10 years in prison after Smithers admitted to killing 20 year old Colton Gleason in St. Cloud in 2012.

Young Gleason had made the grave mistake of walking with friends one night when a car pulled up next to them and, with no provocation, Smithers got out, punched him, causing him to fall, hit his head, and die.

Smithers, who initially had pleaded not guilty then changed his plea to 2nd-degree murder, apologized for what he characterized as a “complete accident.”  But Colton’s mother and father strongly disputed that absurd claim.  His father, John Gleason, said, “This group was out there and their intentions were very clear. This is unprovoked. They stopped and they saw someone they thought they could victimize.  Colton didn’t have a chance to even turn and defend himself.”

John Gleason, made a valid point in saying, “We’ve been given a life sentence by this cowardice attack and murder of our son.  He’ll serve very few short years and he’ll be back out again, and our son is gone forever.” . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35743.)

Today's New Democrats, a Dangerous, Seedy Bunch

Today's New Democrats, a Dangerous, Seedy Bunch

 

Led by President Barack Hussein Obama, today’s Democrat Party has about as much in common with the old Democrats as Obama has with JFK.  In fact, Kennedy would now be considered a DINO, a Democrat in Name Only.
Granted, all politicians are flawed, a consequence of the reality that all human beings are flawed, but today’s “Party of the People” including almost everyone associated with it have become so immersed in extremist liberal thinking that they have become a corrupt caricature of their former selves, unable to distinguish right from wrong and incapable of rational thought.

Take, for example, our commander in chief.

Obama recently boasted, “That’s the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want,” an astoundingly arrogant statement especially in view of his billing as a constitutional scholar. 

Even (some) high schoolers know that America’s Constitution was designed by the Founders to safeguard against any future leader’s pretensions to absolutism with a separation of powers and checks and balances among our executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

Most of Obama’s Democrat Party believes he has the constitutional right to impose his will via unlimited executive actions.  At least one Democrat organization firmly adheres to the misguided principle of blatant, political hypocrisy.

North Carolina’s NAACP chapter scheduled a demonstration to protest “racist” voter ID laws which that it contends discriminate against people of color even though identification is required for everything from securing a library card to making a bank withdrawal. 

Yet, in its “Do’s and Don’ts” [sic] instructions to marchers, the NAACP cautions participants to be certain to bring a photo ID and “keep it on your person at all times,” apparently because it regards marching and protesting are more important than voting.

Democrat House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who led her troops for eight years in demeaning, ridiculing, and undermining President George W. Bush, is now complaining that Republicans have been “disrespecting” President Obama.  Proving once again she is an overachieving, lying nincompoop with either the memory of a gnat or the soul of a terrorist, Pelosi was doubly peeved over that disrespect since Democrats “did not treat President Bush this way.” 

Texas state senator, gun control advocate, and Democrat gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis gained national attention when she filibustered against imposing any restrictions on abortions.  Probably because she woke up and smelled Texan electorate sentiments, Davis has been prancing around campaign stages proudly toting a rifle and has even flipflopped on her radical, filibustered abortion stance by coming out in favor of a ban on abortions after 20 weeks.

Obama and his Democrats have mainly used environmental fears as an excuse to stop the Keystone XL pipeline ever since it was proposed to bring Canadian and American crude oil, and jobs, to United States refineries. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35714.)

The Angst of Abortion Apologists

The Angst of Abortion Apologists

 

Liberal-leftists must breathe a deep sigh of relief whenever the annual March for Life in Washington is over and the hundreds of thousand pro-life marchers have gone home and have stopped annoying Congress with their incessant demands that America stop killing pre-born babies for another year.

The relief doesn’t stem from what Pro-Lifers believe.  The pro-abortionist lib-left have long been aware of exactly what the Pro-Life Movement believes.

Even before the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade and related Doe v. Bolton 7-2 decisions when SCOTUS somehow discovered a heretofore unknown right to privacy hidden somewhere in the bowels of the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, a right constitutionally guaranteeing women the unalienable authority to abort their unborn babies, Pro-Lifers had vowed never to never give up the fight to defend all human life and in 1973 vowed to overturn those cockeyed decisions.

No, mostly-Democrat “pro-choicers” aren’t bothered at all by what pro-Lifers say or believe anymore than they’re concerned over by the currently-estimated 55 million legal abortions, and counting, committed in America over the last forty one years.

Admittedly, this is speculative but wouldn’t the task of defending the mass murder of defenseless human babies in their mothers’ wombs weigh heavily on anyone with a soul?  Or, would it cause them to try to rationalize their murderous views in order to preserve whatever was left of their souls?

Rationalization seems to be their defense of choice.

On the 41st anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, President Barack Hussein Obama admirably declared that everyone is entitled to the same freedoms and opportunities to fulfill their dreams–and then recommitted his version of America to Roe v. Wade’s “guiding principle that every woman should be able to make her own choices about her body and her health.”

Our president, the most pro-abortion member of both the Illinois and the United States Senate, may not have struggled an awful lot with the idea of murdering babies.  When he said, ”I’ve got two daughters. . . I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Obviously, Obama’s concept of “values and morals” does not include respect for the sanctity of human life anymore than it includes “freedoms and opportunities” for the most vulnerable in our society, both female and male . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35438.)

Numbers, Lists, and Lies: Abortion, Obama, Gays, Global Somethinging

Numbers, Lists, and Lies: Abortion, Obama, Gays, Global Somethinging

 

The following are excerpts from articles that don’t typically make the liberal evening news or the leftist cable news. 

They relate to abortion stats, to Barack Hussein Obama and his crumbling legacy of Obamacare, to the true number of homosexuals in America, and to the proven scam of global cooling/global warming/climate change, all of which liberal-leftists would rather you not know anything about. . . .

What the Hell Is Going On in Obama's FEMA?

What the Hell Is Going On in Obama's FEMA?

 

As often noted, even paranoiacs have enemies; with the Obama administration, their paranoia verges on reasonable concern.  (See the disclaimer at the end of this article.)

For more than five years, President Barack Hussein Obama and his lackeys have been caught in more than enough lies, misrepresentations, and subterfuges to fill the Super Bowl’s MetLife Stadium to overflowing with enough left over to carpet New York City’s Bowl Boulevard, more than sufficient lies, misrepresentations, and subterfuges to give pause to any self-respecting paranoiaic’s worst visions of what lies ahead for us.

Last year, they wondered where the two billion .40 caliber, 9mm and hollow point bullets purchased by our Department of Homeland Security went and why.

They wondered where the 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles, (MRAPs–retrofitted fighting vehicles, designed to survive improvised explosive devices, ambushes, and land mines), went and why.

They wondered where the drones, which Attorney General Eric Holder said “could conceivably. . . [be used by the military] if necessary to protect the homeland” before he retracted that outrage by denying Obama would ever “use drone strikes against American citizens on American soil,” went and why.

They wondered where the 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, the supplies of body armor, and the riot gear requisitioned by the DHS over the past two years went and why.

Now, those nutty paranoiacs are in a dither over reports that the president’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is setting up internment camps and has bought loads of coffin liners. 

According to BeforeIt’sNews.com, Obama referenced the FEMA camps and explained their purposes.  He couldn’t very well describe them as concentration camps and instead opted for the somewhat less intimidating term, “Prolonged Detention” camps.

An aficionado of executive orders, our commander in chief has issued a number of such orders supposedly in the interests of protecting America in the event of a national security emergency.  They would effectively authorize seizure and control of all communications networks ”including cell phones and internet and all sources of utilities/energy including gasoline, water, and electricity,” amid reports of the establishment of those FEMA camps and leaked news from the DHS that Martial Law is on the way.  

If absolutely necessary, of course.

Since drone attacks against Americans have already been ruled out by Mr. Holder, there’s no need yet for us to head for bomb shelters, especially since bomb shelters are virtually non-existent in America anyway, except for critical government employees.

It’s been theorized that our most critically-critical government employee, Obama, wants the concentration/internment camps just in case Americans rise up against his unconstitutionally authoritarian rule and he has to quell a mass rebellion.

The paranoid fear is that, after disarming the populace and rendering them defenseless,  Obama would require somewhere to house survivors and coffins to bury the murdered before their rotting corpses stank up the country.   Hence, the absolute necessity of the FEMA camps and expending upwards of a billion dollars for disposable coffin liners to bury the dead. . . .

Obama Lauds Communist, Pete Seeger

Obama Lauds Communist, Pete Seeger

 

Pete Seeger finally went to his eternal reward, or final punishment, on Tuesday at the ripe old age of 94 years, again proving the truism that only the good die young.  May he rest in the Communist hell he  very richly deserves.

Wait!  Pete who?

For the younguns out there, Seeger, born to a comfortable, activist, Calvinist yet musical family with roots stretching back as far as the American Revolution, was a popular folk singer in the fifties and sixties.

Inventor of the Long Neck or Seeger banjo, introducer of the Steel Pan to American music, co-founding star of the ”progressive” singing groups, the Almanac Singers and the Weavers, Seeger was also a professed Communist. 

A proud pacifist, Seeger argued against America’s entry into World War Two while the Nazis were allies of the Soviet Union and changed his mind after they weren’t.  A great admirer of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War who, following his visit during the height of that conflict, “came away ecstatic about the beautiful country and the peace-loving people there” according to historian Ron Radosh.

Most tellingly, the inventor of the Long Neck banjo opposed American military action against the Taliban after 9/11.  May Allah forbid that we seek retribution for the wanton Islamic murder of 2,996 defenseless human beings!

Just as he had changed his view on the merits of entering WWII when it looked like we wouldn’t be fighting the U.S.S.R., Seeger flipped on his Communist leanings but in a 2000 interview with Mother Jones admitted, “I’m still a Communist, in the sense that I don’t believe the world will survive with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.” . . .

Obama's Persecution of Dinesh D'Souza

Obama's Persecution of Dinesh D'Souza

 

Dinesh D’Souza fits most of the criteria of Barack Hussein Obama’s favored and favorite people: an immigrant, a minority, a person of color.  However, D’Souza lacks a few essential elements for inclusion in the president’s exclusive club: He’s a Christian conservative and, worse, he’s not especially fond of Obama or what he is doing to our country.

In fact, D’Souza, a best-selling author and filmmaker, is even farther from being a liberal than most members of the small band of Hollywood conservatives so it was only a matter of time before Obama’s intolerant henchmen in Eric Holder’s Department of Justice went after him.

And, go after him they did, with a vengeance, by indicting him for alleged violations of campaign finance laws.

D’Souza’s alleged crime?  Donating $20,000 to the 2012 senatorial campaign of an old Dartmouth College friend, conservative Republican Wendy Long, who was challenging liberal Democrat New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.  He was charged with one count of making illegal campaign contributions, carrying a maximum sentence of two years in prison and one count of causing false statements to be made to the FEC, carrying a maximum of five years and released on $500,000 bond.

TheBlaze.com illustrated the exorbitance of that half-million dollar figure by posting a list of nine hardened criminals who had bail set for lesser amounts.

The list includes ex-convict Darnell Richmond who was charged with robbing or attempting to rob four people and raping one victim three months after he got out of prison, Barry Eltman charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child after he allegedly attacked a 15-year-old family member, and Jon Michael Jones who was being held on a charge of intentional child abuse and inflicting serious injury on his newborn infant. . .
