Dance and Dust

Ok, Ligneus. This is the video I mentioned to you and , truth be told, I’m not all that certain why I am so taken with it.  I understand it was released a few years ago, but I have been in limbo musically for quite a long time, not listening to any, so I missed it.

However,  of late I’ve taken a liking to Fatboy Slim and in pursuing the tune “Praise”, I came across the video above. I know nothing about dance and I don’t much care if these dancers are “real”. Given that dance seems to have become reduced to gyrating gelatinous-like buttocks and thrusting pelvises, I find their seemingly awkward exuberance cleansing. Because it isn’t all about sex, this human experience – but you’d have a hard time deducting that from our genitalia obsessed, and , in my mind, exceedingly boring pop culture.
It occurs to me that such preposterous good fun, such benign irreverence will become extinct.  Already is, actually. One can not flatten the world and expect creativity to thrive. And multiculturalism – this soulless devotion to what is deemed “correct” -  flattens the world, bleaches it dry of color, rives it of vital creativity. In a world where authentic excellence is feared, brilliance in any medium will not be tolerated.  Iconoclasts, unscripted story tellers, truth – all will become rare.  Is rare.

So I love this piece. It is arrogant and playful, graceless and eloquent and American, very very American – also soon to be  deemed rare as the dreary machinations of collectivist control shreds us all to dust and grit.

I best listen to it again. It always manages to make me smile.

Update from Ligneus

The video I mentioned in my comment wouldn’t embed there, so here it is. See my comment first!

Obama’s Senate Seat on e-Bay – Buy It Cheap! Soros Did….

Unlike other ad’s this one is the best one I am presenting a once in a life time opportunity I am selling President-Elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate Seat. As we all know Blagojevich did say “It’s a (bleeping) valuable thing. You just don’t give it away for nothing.” However, for fund raising purposes I am donating 100% of the profits of this sale to the Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago. In Disgust of Blagojevich trying to obtain a $50,000 contribution from a Hospital Executive. In order for the Children’s Memorial hospital in Chicago to obtain it’s $8 million dollars promised to them that was not forthcoming.

Please bid responsible and well I hope we can raise a good amount of money for a good cause!
Please only Serious Bidders Only! (source)

Arrest Republic Windows Workers, Don’t Support Them

These workers need, at least, to be arrested for trespassing or something. They certainly would be if they were “occupying” my factory. I’m reading about Republic Windows, a company who apparently won’t even be permitted to go out of business in peace. No the “workers” are staging some kind of sit-in. I really do not give a a flying f***k about these workers. Companies go out of business everyday. People lose jobs. It is not some rare affliction to lose pensions, benefits, lose it all. It’s called life.

The company I worked for a few years back closed it’s doors for far more frivolous reasons than failure to meet their financial commitments. A dispute between partners left 25 people without a job with little notice, a few of which were very close to retirement. It would never have occurred to any of us to occupy the premises until we got what we thought we were owed.

One aspect of this socialist drama that I find ironic is that apparently most of the workers currently trespassing on private property over at Republic are “Latinos”. I think they should give Bank of America the same kind of latitude Bank of America gave their illegal compatriots. (That’s another thing. I would love to see how many of these protesting workers need be rounded up and deported.) But I digress. Bank of America has acted as some sort of benevolent surrogate Uncle Sam to illegals for years now, issuing them credit cards and giving them mortgages that they had neither the right nor qualifications to obtain. Now they want them to underwrite a failing business too?

Then Obama’s bloviating buddy Rod Blagojevich dares to challenge Bank of America? I wonder if he made his threats before or after they handcuffed him.

Today Obama’s ally, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, ordered all state agencies to stop doing business with Bank of America to pressure the company to make the loans. (Say, do any state employees have Bank of America accounts or lines of credit?)

Suppose that Bank of America knuckles under to the threat, and makes a loan to cover the severance pay. The workers get that pay and… Republic Windows and Doors’ plant is still out of business. The workers got what they were owed, but how is Bank of America going to get its loan paid back? The workers ought to get what their contract guarantees, but that’s the responsibility of Republic Windows, not Bank of America.

Now, we got into this mess when banks started making loans that defaulted. Bank of America finds the economic prospects for Republic Windows and Doors dire. Blagojevich and the protesting workers are arguing that because they took government assistance, Bank of America ought to ignore their judgment of the company’s prospects and make the loan, even though the company is likely to default on that loan… putting Bank of America back into the situation that started the mess and creating the reason they needed the government help in the first place.

The union rep on CNN says, “you have a choice, Bank of America, you can either go in and liquidate, sell off the equipment inside, or you can do the right thing.” The “right thing,” apparently, is to gamble with the taxpayer’s bail out money on a company with lousy prospects.

She says “the workers are not going to go quietly.” Great. Thuggery and threats.(source)

No they won’t go quietly, and if this commenter on a socialist site is typical, this sit-in will not be the last we witness as America continues walking over the socialist cliff.

I think these folks need to take a page from the Argentine playbook, where more than 200 companies were taken over by workers (often with goverment approval) and run successfully.

Yes, the Obama government would no doubt approve. After all, the unions bought Obama with 450 million in campaign contributions. They expect “change”.

Sanity Strikes Great Britain

Perhaps there is hope in the world. How rare to see a Western nation acting in it’s own self interest, instead of kowtowing to the multi-culti dictates of the race fetish crowd.

Migrants to Earn Dole and House

IMMIGRANTS will have to EARN the right to UK benefits and council housing under a tough crackdown.

Some will have to wait TEN YEARS before they get a penny in the toughest shake-up of the rules in a generation.

Immigration minister Phil Woolas revealed details in an exclusive interview with The Sun.

All legal economic migrants will first have to win the right to a passport by serving a five-year “probationary citizenship”.

Those who keep out of trouble and do voluntary work will become eligible for benefits one or two years after that.

But any who fail to commit to Britain can be denied handouts for a second five years.

Mr Woolas said: “Entitlement to benefits should be for citizens of our country, not other people.

“If you are a citizen you have earned the right to benefits. People must show they are here to work.”

The bombshell measure will put an end to scandals like the housing of a jobless Afghan family in a £1.2million West London mansion while on £13,000-a-month benefits.

It is included in the new Borders, Immigration and Citizenship Bill, published in January.

Mr Woolas intends to use the system to make it tougher for migrant workers to come here during the recession, safeguarding jobs for Britons.

Mr Woolas said: “We only need foreign workers if there is a clear skill shortage.”

Food, Land, and Power

Totalitarianism devours the singular, shears off differences, lays low free will, eviscerates individuality. All must now bow down before the collective, to engage in the excruciatingly tedious worship of the amorphous whole. Independent thought is not tolerated, free enterprise is to be destroyed, the right to private property eliminated and our children born into the collective in service to the state.Like cattle, we are to be herded into the collective, weakened, branded and dependent. Given the election results, I’d say that half the country has indicated that they are willing to take their alloted place in the slaughter and slop pens.

But what about those of us who – no how, no way – refuse to submit to the constraints of Obama’s communist rule? I know for damn sure that my extended family is willing to pool our money, buy some land, build our own homes and raise our own food, home school the kids and fight for the return of America. But that very self-sufficiency is what socialism seeks to destroy. Leaving aside the anticipated heightend thrust against parental rights and home schooling, what if, through a variety of prohibitive restrictions, you will not be permitted to grow your own food, what then?

Perhaps that does indeed sound paranoid, but food production is a topic that keeps nagging at me. I have been intrigued by Soros’ interest in food production, which I posted on in Soros, Famine, Energy, and the End of Sovereign Nations.

We also have Obama on record with this idiocy:

“As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector … and are partly responsible for the explosion in our health care costs because they’re contributing to Type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that are driving our huge explosion in health care costs.” ( Source)

In the same post, I lay out the “food dots” that I have collected so far, looking for connections. The rather disturbing article I post below would seem to supply several more dots.

Swat Team conducts food raid in rural Ohio

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to 8 PM. The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were quite traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was relieved by another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend the family. The Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food cooperative called Manna Storehouse on the western side of the greater Cleveland area for many years. [Update]

There were agents from the Department of Agriculture present, one of them identified as Bill Lesho. The search warrant is reportedly suspicious-looking. Agents began rifling through all of the family’s possessions, a task that lasted hours and resulted in a complete upheaval of every private area in the home. Many items were taken that were not listed on the search warrant. The family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not told what crime they were being charged with. They were not read their rights. Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. All of their computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone and contact records. The food cooperative was virtually shut down. There was no rational explanation, nor justification, for this extreme violation of Constitutional rights.

Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be charged with running a retail establishment without a license. Why then the Gestapo-type interrogation for a 3rd degree misdemeanor charge? This incident has raised the ominous specter of a restrictive new era in State regulation and enforcement over the nation’s private food supply.
Continue reading….

A little more reading reveals that this isn’t an isolated incident but prevalent enough that a non-profit, Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, has been organized “To defend the freedoms and to broaden the rights of sustainable farmers and their consumers to produce and consume local, nutrient-dense food.” You’ll find advice on “How to Survive a Farm Raid”, or how to recognize government regulators and how to prepare for their strategies. I’ll refer you to The Bovine for more links and far more insight.

It bodes ill for those of us who will seek to move ourselves as far as possible from the claustrophobic and invasive reach of Obammunism.

Part II next post.

Just Spread Your Cheeks Obama, They’ll Get the Message

Obama to Give Speech in Islamic Capital?

“Barack Obama is toying with the idea of making a speech from an Islamic capital within his first 100 days in office. The scuttlebutt is all about finding the right one. (The consensus is Cairo–which is a terrible idea. An Obama speech there would be read as a shameful acceptance of Mubarak’s oppressive rule.) But my question is: what would he say?

The global problems generating from within the Muslim world today are so odious and so obviously self-inflicted that any honest speech on the matter would offend and enrage Muslims the world over. At the same time, because of these very problems, a softball speech about Islam’s current role in global affairs would look like cowardly capitulation. If Obama splits the difference and mixes lukewarm praise with lukewarm condemnation, the stunt will be seen rightly as meaningless.

Obama gives great speeches, and this has encouraged an unwarranted faith in the utility of the medium. No matter how dazzling, oratory is the least effective weapon in the counterterrorism arsenal. If anything, a foreign policy speech aimed at resolving the conflict between the West and radical Islam would give enemies hope that the U.S. is shifting to a less proactive stance, and returning to the more symbolic approach of the pre-Bush days.” Continue reading….

Really. The “symbolic approach of the pre-Bush days“? When Clinton couldn’t be bothered with bin Laden, symbolized by cigars and blow jobs? The most harm that will befall jihadists during the Obama years will be the occasional malfunctioning suicide bomber. Unless they are subjected to too many of his speeches. That could prove terminal.

Muslims in Prison: An Army in Waiting?

Australian Muzzie Ran Drug Ring from Jail Cell

A convicted murderer allegedly made about 460 calls a day on a smuggled mobile phone as he coordinated a $250,000-a-week drug trafficking syndicate from his maximum security jail cell.

Bassam Hamzy, 29, who is serving a 21-year sentence for murdering a man outside a Sydney nightclub, allegedly made more than 19,000 calls from inside Lithgow prison, west of Sydney, between May 1 and June 11 this year.

Most of the calls were made in Arabic, to a syndicate of 12 close friends and family members who allegedly shifted $1.5 million worth of cocaine and ice from NSW to Victoria in six weeks.

Imprisonment is not much of a punishment for muslims. These are not people who particularly value freedom. I am quite certain that every sizable prison is permeated with Islamists, so new prisoners will easily find solace and support from their fellow believers.  And as the article quoted above attests, it is feasible to continue illegal operations, be it the distribution of drugs or terrorist plotting. It is a damn shame prisoners are granted rights sufficient to allow this type of maneuverability. But that is the world we now live in. Evil is rewarded more often than not.

I have often thought that the huge Muslim population in America’s prisons might as well be a standing army, waiting for their killing orders. A couple of coordinated prison breaks in a specified region, timed to coincide with a terrorist attack, may not be as far fetched as it sounds.

For years, the Washington-based Center for Security Policy has been tracking the infiltration of U.S. prisons by agents of Saudi Wahhabism…The Center’s research (now confirmed by subsequent Senate investigations) has concluded that Muslim chaplains trained in and certified by Saudi-supported Wahhabi institutes in America have been accepted into our prison system by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). This has led to fears that a dangerous Islamic “fifth column” is developing in our prisons with the unwitting cooperation of the federal government.
[...]
In 2005, Robert Mueller, Director of the F.B.I. told the Senate Intelligence Committee that “prisons continue to be fertile ground for extremists who exploit both a prisoner’s conversion to Islam while still in prison, as well as their socioeconomic status and placement in the community upon their release.” According to published reports, radical Islamists have put a high priority on reaching disaffected inmates and recruiting them for their own deadly purposes. The Washington Times quotes an al Qaeda training manual that identifies as “candidates” for recruitment those who are “disenchanted with their country’s policies,” especially convicted criminals. The article quotes a U.S. corrections official who acknowledges that Americans behind bars are “literally a captive audience, and many inmates are anxious to hear how they can attack the institutions of America.”
[...]
The conversion program is funded with Saudi money through the National Islamic Prison Foundation, an organization that underwrites “prison outreach” but whose real goal is the conversion of large numbers of inmates (primarily African-American) (1) not only to Wahhabism, but to its radical Islamist agenda….and the effort is both successful and, for the most part, hidden from public view.
[...]
The Saudis have directed considerable financial resources specifically toward the American Black Muslim community. In one effort to showcase the “bounties” of Wahhabism to this target audience, the Saudis’ late King Fahd pledged $8M for a lavish mosque in shabby South Central Los Angeles…This was a very deliberate recruitment process by the Saudis – trying to find black Muslims who had a real potential for Islamic learning and also for submission to their Wahabbist agenda. They are taught Islam with the intent to expand their influence. ..According to Reza Safa, an authority on the manner in which Saudi Wahhabism is spread throughout the world, “as many as 90% of American converts to Islam are black.”

(Source)

When you consider the possibilities, prison serves as fertile recruiting grounds for future members of Obama’s proposed domestic army. Under the guise of “social justice”, abetted by an existing network of Imans – a network already dedicated to arranging their converts’ “socioeconomic status and placement in the community upon their release” – Obama’s “National Civilian Corps” is a perfect fit. And God knows, it will make for fine editorial copy, just ooozing with redemption and “hope”. Young men saved from gangs and drugs, inspired by Islam, transitioned into their new life on the outside in service to Obama’s vision. Armed thugs, dedicated to the destruction of America sanctioned by the governement, in an organization that Obama has already declared he wants as well funded as America’s military. Yes, a nightmarish thought, but then, I expect nightmares to be the standard fare served up by the Obamanites.

First the Saturday People, Then the Sunday People….

“First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people…” has long been the clarion call of Islamists. The latest slaughter in India has captured the world’s attention, but what that same world fails to recognize is that Mumbai is but one more battle in an ongoing jihad, a jihad that has perpetrated over 12,000 separate attacks since that September day when it first visited our shores. It is further proof that Islamists tend to make good on their murdering words. Words that the mainstream media will not take seriously, words that Americans, by and large, are totally ignorant of.

Among the dead in India are some Saturday people, or to use the islamic vernacular, some “descendants of pigs and apes”, reported in the article directly below. But successful propaganda from the left ( many of whom are Obama supporters), from muslim apologists and their dhimmi acolytes have convinced an increasing number of people that the Jews somehow have it coming to them. So attacks specifically targeting Jews are not all that appalling.

Following that article is an amazing report that apparently is of far less interest to the media.  While hostages were taken in India, in Egypt, over 800 Coptic Christians were being held hostage by a horde muslims numbering in the thousands. But then, Coptic Christians and Christians world wide have been being slaughtered by Islamists for decades, and the world shrugs.After all, it’s only Christians, and they somehow have it coming as well.

Perhaps that explains why I can find little mention of this attack in Google news, and no accounts of how it ended. Christians are negligible, Jews are expendable. But Muslims, Muslims are to be forgiven. In fact, you can’t say the words “terror” and “muslim” in the same breath for fear of being accused of racism.

We have a man soon to assume the office of the presidency who has expressed more sympathy than wrath towards the perpetrators of Jihad. He will handle the jihadists in Gitmo like mistreated puppy dogs and lavish American justice upon them. The same jihadists who will, as has been demonstrated in prior prisoner releases, go and participate in another attack somewhere in the world should they be released.

Every enemy of America has celebrated Obama’s  election win. But Americans were not told by the Obama media about his myriad ties to Islamists and their advocates. Nor will Obama’s millions in foreign contributions be investigated, much of which has been traced back to jihadists.

It seemed like it was impossible to endure Bush’s refusal to the name the enemy, or so I thought. But now we have in Obama  a man of questionable loyalties, a novice and hustler who has promised to dismantle America’s defenses and have tea with that same enemy. We can only pray that Libyan thug Mu’ammar Al-Qaddafi was wrong in his speculations that Obama’s distancing from islam during his campaign was just a simple political tactic.

“But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother [Obama], who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.

“We hope that this is merely an elections ‘clearance sale,’ as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie.

“Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda.

Nine Israelis killed in Mumbai attacks

JERUSALEM (AFP) — Nine Israelis were killed in the attacks by Islamist militants that caused carnage in the Indian commercial capital Mumbai, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Saturday.

“Eight bodies have been identified as being those of Israelis, some of them with dual Israeli and US nationality,” the spokesman said.

“All eight were killed in Chabad House,” said Yigal Palmor, referring to a Jewish cultural centre that was stormed by Indian commandos on Friday.

[...]There were at least three women among the dead, including the rabbi’s wife, Rivka.

The Holtzbergs’ toddler son Moshe was rescued by the centre’s cook, Sandra Samuel, who also worked as his nanny and who escaped with him and a caretaker 12 hours into the siege.

Defence Minister Ehud Barak said some of the bodies had been tied up, and that two of the dead women had been killed many hours before.

Thousands of Muslims Storming Church in Egypt

Thousands of Muslims who stormed a church in Ain Shams, Cairo, on Sunday and set fire to the building, are seen in two videos on a news agency website.

A crowd of Muslims, estimated at 20,000 strong, were enraged by an extension that was added to the church of St. Mary and Anba Abraam, according to Assyrian International News Agency. (www.aina.org)

Assyrian International News Agency said at least one thousand Christians were trapped inside the Coptic Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary in West Ain Shams, Cairo, after more than twenty thousand Muslims attacked them with stones and butane gas cylinders. The Church’s priest Father Antonious said the situation was extremely dangerous.

The news agency says the Muslim mob that attacked the church blocked both sides of the street and encircled the church building, broke its doors and demolished its entire first floor.

The crowd were heard shouting ‘Allahu Akbar!’ (God is greatest).
In its report, AINA says the mob were chanting Jihad verses as well as slogans saying “we will demolish the church” and “We sacrifice our blood and souls, we sacrifice ourselves for you, Islam,” while the entrapped Christians chanted “Lord have mercy.”

According to AINA, the incident started on the occasion of the inauguration of the Church today, when the Muslims hastily established a Mosque in the early hours of this morning, by taking over the first floor of a newly-built building facing the Church and started praying there.

Securoty forces in riot gear outside the church in Cairo.
The AINA report says: “When the security forces tried to
disperse the mob, they went to nearby homes and shops owned by Christians, and were armed with sticks, butane, knives and other sharp objects. Witnesses said the mob included children from as young as 8-years old to men of over 50-years old, in addition to women.”

AINA said the Church building was originally a factory that was adapted into its present state. It took over five years to complete and to get the necessary permissions from the authorities to have a Church established.

Human rights organizations and lawyers were refused entry into the besieged Church, according to the AINA report.

H/T:Islam in Action

Mumbai Terrorists Arrived by Sea

Image Source:Reuters/Times of India

H/T:LGF

More than 100 people were killed when gunmen slipped into Mumbai — India’s financial capitol — by boat last night before fanning out and hitting a number of targets including a backpacker bar and two five-star hotels popular with Western visitors and the Bombay elite. Six foreigners were killed and the Foreign Office confirmed this afternoon that one of them was British. Loud blasts rocked southern Bombay this afternoon as commandos moved to rescue the final hostages in the five-star Oberoi-Trident hotel and a nearby Jewish centre. Blasts were also heard at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, even though the city’s police chief had earlier announced that all terrorists had been cleared from the burning building. The terrorists were said to have arrived in two small boats near the Gateway of India, a landmark monument built in 1911 to mark a visit by George V and Queen Mary. They split up to attack various targets including hospitals and a railway station where they fired indiscriminately at passengers. They were armed with AK47 assault rifles, hand grenades and explosives. The attacks were claimed by a previously unknown group, the Deccan Mujahedeen, which demanded the release of all Mujahideen, or Islamic holy warriors, in Indian jails. The coordinated attacks bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda, but there was no sign of any formal link with the terror network. One militant inside the Oberoi/Trident, identifying himself only as Sahadullah, told an Indian television station by telephone: “Release all the mujahideens, and Muslims living in India should not be troubled.” (Source)

Islam: “The Perfect War Machine”

You Only Need to Kill One

Bill Warner

A Democratic congressman was at a public meeting that included a military officer. The question was asked: What is the most important function of the military today? The officer replied that fighting Islamic militants was the most important mission. The congressman quickly replied that it was not a problem and besides, we could not fight 1.5 billion Muslims.

The congressman shares a worldview with George Bush. George Bush made a critical mistake after the attack on September 11th; a mistake that created the presidency of Barack Obama. Bush could not name the enemy-political Islam. Then in the Iraq war he was only effective at the military war. Churchill and Roosevelt were great war leaders because they were able to conduct a military war and a propaganda war at the same time. A political leader’s task in war is as an ideological leader. The generals cannot do this job.

As a result, Bush won the military war and lost the propaganda war. Those who hated the Iraq war were drawn to Obama. This is how Bush created Obama’s success.

Bush is incapable of being an ideological leader. On September 12th he should have declared political Islam to be the enemy of all kafir civilization. In doing so, he would have only repeated what was in the Koran and the Sunna of Mohammed. Instead, his blindness made him create a logical impossibility-a war without an enemy.

Islam is the perfect war machine. It has both a military strategy, found in the Sira and the Hadith, and a brilliant war ideology. This perfect war machine has worked flawlessly for 1400 years and is working brilliantly today. November 4 th was a greater victory for political Islam than September 11th.

But no university teaches anything about Islamic war doctrine. West Point does not teach a single course on Islamic war doctrine or history. West Point’s Middle East professors are as dhimmized as Harvard’s professors (which is where West Point gets their teachers). Remember that Bush went to exclusive schools and received a good education. As a result he knows nothing about political Islam, any more than any of his classmates do.

Is it impossible to kill 1.5 billion Muslims? It is a military possibility, but kafirs do not have the political will for such a task. Besides, it is not necessary to kill Muslims. You just need to kill Mohammed. In short, we need to launch an ideological war to respond to Islam’s jihad doctrine.

And what would an ideological war look like? How about open debate without the usual politically correct, multicultural narrow-mindedness? How about a leader, such as a congressman, being able to speak about Islam’s jihad doctrine. (Of course, few of our so-called political leaders would ever speak against a potential voter. A notable exception to this is Sue Myrick of North Carolina who has formed an Anti-Terrorism Caucus.

An ideological war would include our schools, particularly state schools, teaching about the Koran and the Sunna. History courses that would include the Tears of Jihad, the killing of 270 million kafirs. Women’s studies that would include Sharia law. Religion courses that would teach the death of Christianity in Turkey, the Middle East and Africa. Military history that would include the great battles of Islam. Courses on slavery that would go beyond the standard-issue West Africa/white man on wooden ships.

An ideological war would include a media that actually used critical reasoning and connected the dots in the Islamic violence that wracks the world with 12,221 attacks since September 11th in 39 countries.

So, we don’t need to kill 1.5 billion Muslims, but we do need to kill Mohammed if we are not to go the way of Christianity in Turkey, which is now 99.7% Muslim. We will either fight an ideological war or die as a kafir civilization.

No Thanksgiving for for America’s Teachers

Along with the sad sacks known as journalists, teachers are on my list of the top 5 most reviled “professionals” for whom I harbor the utmost contempt. In a fine essay that you will relish should you, like I, have contempt for all things politically correct,the inimitable Victor Davis Hanson distills into one paragraph the gist of my disdain.

10. The K-12 public education system is essentially wrecked. No longer can any professor expect an incoming college freshman to know what Okinawa, John Quincy Adams, Shiloh, the Parthenon, the Reformation, John Locke, the Second Amendment, or the Pythagorean Theorem is. An entire American culture, the West itself, its ideas and experiences, have simply vanished on the altar of therapy. This upcoming generation knows instead not to judge anyone by absolute standards but not why so; to remember to say that its own Western culture is no different from, or indeed far worse than, the alternatives; that race, class, and gender are, well, important in some vague sense; that global warming is manmade and very soon will kill us all; that we must have hope and change of some undefined sort; that AIDs is no more a homosexual- than a heterosexual-prone disease; and that the following things and people for some reason must be bad, or at least must in public company be said to be bad in no particular order: Wal-Mart, cowboys, the Vietnam War, oil companies, coal plants, nuclear power, George Bush, chemicals, leather, guns, states like Utah and Kansas, Sarah Palin, vans and SUVs.

Works and Days » Ten Random, Politically Incorrect Thoughts

Obama’s adoring electorate is proof positive of the enervating corrosive affect of “liberal” education in this country. The unraveling of America’s strength can be directly attributed to the dumbing down indoctrination delivered at the behest of the public school system.

And, trust me, the Obamanites want to make damn sure your kid is one of the indoctrinated. Along with speech and gun rights, another extremely critical battle that will have to be waged over the coming years is protecting the sanctity of the family and the inviolate rights of parents to determine their childrens education and belief systems.

A recent incident in California serves as one small illustration of why this battle has to be engaged.

“Racist” children celebrate Thanksgiving by “dehumanizing” American Indians

In yet another case of political correctness run amok, a forty year history of kindergartners dressed as pilgrims and native Americans celebrating Thanksgiving at school has been quashed in Claremont, California, due to four people who complained the celebration used “racist stereotypes” which were “dehumanizing”.
[...]

“It’s demeaning,” Michelle Raheja, the mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter’s teacher. “I’m sure you can appreciate the inappropriateness of asking children to dress up like slaves (and kind slave masters), or Jews (and friendly Nazis), or members of any other racial minority group who has struggled in our nation’s history.” Continue reading….

No, Michelle, you PC addled miscreant, what is inappropriate is teaching a kindergartner that homosexuality is a lifestyle chice. What is inappropriate is denigrating this county’s heritage with your revisionist lies while actively promoting communism to American children. Funny thing is, communism has historically been no friend of homosexuality.

Ironic, isn’t it? In fact,the resurgent communists in Russia are dusting off some old laws that were on the books before the Soviet Union’s fall that would send the pink crowd back into their closets.

No, I don’t think I’ll be extending any thanks or kind wishes towards the multiculturalist zombies presently herding the sheeple through the halls of academia. In my mind, Thanksgiving can not truly be celebrated in this country until they and their progressive comrades recede back to the obscurity that shrouded their ugly presence in this country 100 years ago.

Walking on Racial Eggs: Skin Fetish Sensibilities

Fetish: any object, natural or otherwise, that is believed to contain “power.”
or
…an object regarded as having special powers, eliciting unquestionable reverence and respect…

I have decided to label this preoccupation with skin pigmentation as a fetish. Really, only a fetish could exert such subversive potency that it’s practice would elect to this great country one highly unqualified, disaffected American such as Barack Hussein. Be that as it may, I guess comedians find that they have a dilemma, one that didn’t inhibit in the least their verbal lacerations of George Bush – or Condi Rice for that matter (her pigmentation’s protective properties were abrogated by her politics).

So, we find Jimmy Kimmel asking a question that ought not even be asked in this supposed age of racial enlightenment. How do you joke about a black president without ruffling the hyper sensitive feathers of the skin fetish crowd? I would suggest that said crowd grow a pair and quit looking for every excuse to interpret digs directed at their particular skin subset  as grounds for a world crisis.

Funny thing is, I don’t recall such squeamishness when joking about Jews, Poles, Italians or other such ethnicities. And, god forbid, that these court jesters ever direct their comic barbs at Mohammed. No, in this strange new world, black skin and muslim sensibilities ( Muslims can’t make claim to any specific ethnicity, but don’t tell the PC crowd that, they insist muslims have a right to their own skin fetish) qualify for protection from those evil verbal onslaughts that other races are subject to, though no one will really say why they are so bereft of a sense of humor that need to be coddled.

YouTube – Jimmy Kimmel goes to black barbershop to see how to properly joke on Barack Obama.

Resisting Obama

I haven’t listened to Medved in quite awhile, and his post-election column confirms that I’ll be doing myself a favor by continuing to ignore him. He assumes the conciliatory and diplomatic postures held by far too many these past two weeks and I have had my fill of it.

One of the reasons the GOP suffered major reverses across the country involved the perception that they practiced more divisive and angry politics than did the Obama-crats, with his fuzzy, feel-good message of hope and change. By a wide margin, poll respondents identified McCain more than Obama as a candidate who spent most of his time attacking rather than offering a positive vision.
(Source)

“…they practiced more divisive and angry politics”? Really? Damn, I always miss the good stuff. All I heard was McCain chiding his supporters for speaking “The One’s” sacred middle name and advising us that an Obama presidency is not to be feared. Like CAIR and Islamists, the Obamanites and appeasers evade responding to documented facts by condemning them as punitive, calumnious and divisive.

It reminds me of the mentality of those progressive “educators” who deride competition as hurtful. Everyone has to pretend that there are no superior players, that everyone is a winner. If an election between opposing parties fails to reveal the divisions wrought by conflicting ideas, what the hell is the point? Is that how we end up with an American Idol presidency?

Perhaps that is why I am feeling so lethargic of late – thus my absence here – the world has taken on this nebulous, twilight quality. On November 3rd, Obama’s lengthy list of radical affiliations, his documented socialist roots – starting with his communist mother and continuing via one mentor after another throughout his youth – all of this is no longer of any consequence after Nov 5th?
Inaugural Day will not sprinkle fairy dust on Obama. He will not walk through that White House portal and emerge a man miraculously transformed into an America-loving patriot of principle. He will still be Barack Hussein Obama.

Someone commented recently that I harbored harsh opinions about Obama. I responded, more or less, like this:
Primarily it is a position that has developed since 2001, not in response to Obama’s emergence on the scene, but in growing understanding of what the ‘isms of the left are, how they compliment many of islam’s tenets and how the convergence of both, parasitically using each other, could succeed in shrouding this country under a totalitarianism quite like what is slowly suffocating Europe and is now hunkering down over Canada. I have feared this chimera for a long time. Obama simply puts a face on it. For Obama, the collectivism and disdain for individualism inherent in Islam does not feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable as it is also characteristic of the Marxism he subscribes to.

Most of those who have been writing in the anti-jihad vein recognize the ideological affinity that both totalitarian systems enjoy between them. Long ago we realized that the most potent ally Islam has in any nation, is the left. And now we have Obama in office.

Now, all of his philosophical and political kinfolk who have spent the last year camped under the Obama bus are shaking the dust off and rising up to embrace and celebrate their old friend. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam being one.

…even as he talked about the undercurrents of racial tensions, Farrakhan could barely suppress his joy at Obama’s victory and its significance for the black community.
[..]
On Sunday, Farrakhan said he had deliberately held his peace after he saw how some positive comments he made about Obama during the Democratic primaries made trouble for the aspiring presidential candidate. (Source)

“Reverend” Jeremiah Wright is another. And then you have “respected professor” Bill Ayers rising up from the sixties dead like another resuscitated rock star trying to find the juice for one more freaking tour. When will the damn hippies finally freaking lay down and die? What a damn spectacle. But I digress…

Within the circle of men and women that we see gathering around Obama, we can observe the convergence of three virulent strains of oppressive ideologies. The Alinsky trained Obama and Hillary – and most of his cabinet it would seem – preaching the social justice, progressive, Marxist catechism ( all prettied up and dumbed down for the obama electorate), the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright – black separatist, steeped in liberation theology, and the maniacal bigot Louis Farrakhan – brandishing his black american version of Islam.

Those are some of the reasons that you won’t see me swilling kumbaya Kool-Aid with an outstretched hand waving a white flag. Those that now are populating the Obama administration are a breed of Americans spawned by a malignant culture of narcissism and nihilism. With Obama they now find themselves in power. While most of us in this country, myself included, have been drunk with the surfeit of America’s freedoms and bounty,we have been steadily compromised. Infested. Breached.

And through that breach, sweeping in on Obama’s coat tail, comes multiculturalism at is most legalistic and septic. If you have been as disgusted as I at Bush’s dangerously naive PC obsequiousness to Islam and his hug-an-illegal pandering, be prepared for PC’ism at it’s most egregious.

They’re back, the multiculturalists that is.

For years they’ve been encamped in our universities, and now even our high schools. But with the election of Barack Obama, they’re riding high. We’ll be hearing a great deal about “reaching out” to other cultures and nations, as the age of Obama dawns. Maybe it’s time to ask some serious questions about this term, multiculturalism.(Source)

American Thinker calls it cultural Marxism.

Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.

This is what I fight, have been fighting, long before there was a “black” president-elect in the picture. That is why the charge of racism brought against those of us who stand against Obama is tedious, sophomoric, and disingenuous. If only it were that bloody simple. But I assure you, the charges will not stop. Identity politics have served the multi-culturalists and “social justice” minions well and they have no intention of retiring the tactic. The race card is accepted currency in the coming White House. As a result, warnings about political islam and sharia law will be castigated as racist. Pleas and demands to protect our borders, sovereignty and uphold our constitution will be reviled as anachronistic and neanderthal. The sanctity of the individual will be drowned by a incestuous and suffocating collectivism.

The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity. In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience (paired with personal accountability and responsibility) because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible.

Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our “unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty “are endowed by our Creator,” who made man in His image.
[...]
The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children’s children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill’ where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.
(Source)

The courage to speak the truth… . It is what conservatives best have in abundance if we want more than a snowball’s chance in hell to hold our own, let alone take back some ground. And most of the time, that is gonna sound pretty damn harsh.

The Obama Voter: The New Stupid

Alright, I have to do something here. I have been circling my blog like a wary animal circling a fire for a few days now. I haven’t responded to comments – and I will, my apologies – haven’t done much other than listlessly peruse a file of posts that have been lingering in various stages of composition. I will get back in the saddle here tomorrow, just going thru some post election blog lethargy.

But, this video is interesting. It won’t surprise you, but will surely amaze and dismay you. It wasn’t an election. It was a freaking American Idol contest. The Obama voter is the new stupid.

From the site How Obama Got Elected

On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple… the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.

On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.

Robert Spencer, Jihad, and “MainSt. Media”

Always on Watch has over an hour of conversation with Robert Spencer. If you have only heard Spencer via 5 minutes on Fox, I strongly recommend that you hear him uninterrupted by commercials, or Bill O’Reilly. Rich with facts and exegesis, painful to listen to, compounded as it is with the knowledge that America is now in the hands of those who agree more with Islamists than they do with Americans.

For those who may not know, Robert Spencer’s work can be found on his blog Jihad Watch.

Always on Watch (blogging at The Gathering Storm)  is always able to secure  excellent guests. It amazes me sometimes what “folks” can do. I just heard someone refer to it as “MainSt. Media”.  Sounds good. Since the anarchists, rebels and dirty old hippies have managed to go turn themselves into the “Establishment”, maybe they can remove their sorry asses from the streets. The streets belong to our side now.

The damnable thing is, the hippies and leftists of the sixties  ranted against an imaginary oppression. They now come swaggering through the doors of power bearing with them the very oppression which they had  proclaimed America was guilty of exercising. Obviously, given their ascent to power, their infiltration of education, their dominance in culture, that they were not then, nor since,  oppressed.

That have become that ogre of fascism that they have always feared.
Obama and his possee have already demonstrated their willingness to suppress speech. If you want to do anything, fight for the right of “MainSt.” broadcasters like “Always on Watch” to retain the right to broadcast. Support their efforts and the hundreds of other worthy media outlets that are aligning themselves for the fight ahead.

Speaking of censorship, another worthy recipient of our support is ‘No Compromise’ – just recently  “permitted” to resume  broadcasting again. You’ll find them talking about it here, and their site here.

Obama and Hitler: If It Walks Like a Duck…..

Just as well that I haven’t had the time or energy to post much lately. This guy says it all just fine. I excerpt a post that I’d suggest that you click here ,or on the title, to read in full.

“I Am A Student Of History”

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
[...]

And I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully them into submission. And then, he was duly elected to office, a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media–did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and . . . change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

[...]

Don’t forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years–a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency–it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe–and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.

Best regards

tps

Barack Obama: The Audacity of Teflon

And this is the way it is going to be. Ignore the fraud, the lies, subterfuge and legerdemain. It all slides right off the teflon man. Unreal.

Obama Lied, Now He’ll Slide, On Campaign Finance Audit

Un-fucking-believable…

The lie?

That he would not take private funding for his campaign. He ended up doing just that, and shunning the public money, which is why he may escape a campaign finance audit.

Like I said, un-fucking-believable.

The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had the McCain campaign crying foul.

Adding insult to injury for Republicans: The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCain’s campaign coffers, which will take months, if not years, and cost McCain millions of dollars to defend.

The Obama Gloom Index

I was going to do a post on all the ways that the entrepreneur will be skewered by the Obamination, but I have to get to a meeting online for my job, a job that will certainly disappear soon, given that you need a healthy mortgage market to employ lackeys like me. You know, some of the wealth that used to dribble down to folks like me who provide needed services to those oh-so-nasty mortgage brokers.

But given that they are prepared to eliminate the mortgage industry, my position will go down the obama tubes too.
Anyway, no time for that post, but here are some headlines that will add to a sane person’s gloom index considerably.

• Unions look to Obama to help advance their agenda
• Great Depression Offers Lesson on Foreclosure Moratoriums
• Citigroup imposing foreclosure moratorium

• Shariah-Compliant Finance: “Jihad with money”

• Anti-Religious Thuggery

• Obama’s Change.gov Site Undergoes Severe Scrubbing; $40/Hr. Plan Remains at Another Page

Obama’s Election a Green Light for Bin Laden

Gee, doesn’t  Osama  want to have some unconditional talks with Obama first? He might find they have mutual goals.

Senior Yemeni Al-Qaeda: New Attack Planned Against US

Osama bin Laden is planning an attack against the United States that will “outdo by far” September 11, an Arab newspaper in London has reported.

And according to a former senior Yemeni al-Qaeda operative, the terrorist organisation has entered a “positive phase”, reinforcing specific training camps around the world that will lead the next “wave of action” against the West.

The warning, on the front page of an Arabic newspaper published in London, Al-Quds Al-Arabi — and widely reported in the major Italian papers — quotes a person described as being “very close to al-Qaeda” in Yemen.

The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan, who is said to be the last journalist to interview Osama bin Laden in 1996. According to the report, bin Laden is himself closely following preparations for an attack against the US and aims to “change the face of world politics and economics”. The operative is quoted as saying that “this will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somalia”.

The ex-operative says he remains in contact with current chiefs of the organisation in Yemen and that only six months ago bin Laden had sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world which asked them not to interact with their governments or local political parties and to deny any request for mediation or formal talks.

The source also said that during the next few days the terrorist organisation may send a sign of its violent intentions.

A few things in the statement make sense 1) the end of the truce (“the period of calmness”) in Yemen came as a result of an order from bin Laden, not because of agitation from returnees from Iraq, 2) the continuing importance of the original trusted network of Yemenis, 3) bin Laden’s ability to communicate with people in Yemen.

Heil Obama! The Onslaught Begins

Here It Comes: Obama To Use Executive Orders For Immediate Impact

WASHINGTON – President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

John Podesta, Obama’s transition chief, said Sunday Obama is reviewing President Bush’s executive orders on those issues and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such orders to move quickly on his own.

“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we’ll see the president do that,” Podesta said. “I think that he feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off the course that the Bush administration has set.”

Podesta also said Obama is working to build a diverse Cabinet. That includes reaching out to Republicans and independents – part of the broad coalition that supported Obama during the race against Republican John McCain. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been mentioned as a possible holdover.
