Wheelchair Bound Man Gets Throat Slit

Just another Muslim hate crime story that the “mainstream” media has chosen to ignore. Political correctness has got them by the short hairs. Am beginning to think that “Islam is the religion of peace” is an oxymoron.

Throat-Slashing Muslim Kills Disabled Man, Media Ignores

Colin Greenaway was a British disabled man in a wheelchair. On Saturday, Greenaway was killed by Muslim Daha Mohammed, 51, who slit his throat. The disabled man, who was killed in Thamesmead, was a “great neighbor and friend.”

Philadelphia Black Panther Leader Arrested, Illegal Possession Of Handgun

King Salim Shabazz, the leader of the New Black Panther Party Philadelphia chapter was arrested for carrying a loaded and unlicensed gun. Imagine that. He has the words “kill whitey” tattooed on his face. He was also charged by New York police with illegally wearing body armor.black_panther_king_salim_shabazz

If convicted of possessing the gun, Heath will be sentenced to a minimum of three-and-a-half years in jail. On June 26, he is due back in court to find out if he’ll face charges of gun possession and illegally wearing body armor. Currently, he is being held in place of $75,000 bail.

Of course, if Attorney General Eric Holder had not let him, one of ‘his people’, go in the Philadelphia voter intimidation case, he would have been cooling his heels in jail instead of on the streets with an illegal weapon. Thank you Eric Holder for your open door policy. Tends to make one furious, fast.

The thug’s “real” name is Maruse Heath. Apparently, the Black KKK get special dispensation with unequal justice under the law.

Where’s the surprise, that with all the gun control legislation that exists in New York, criminals still have guns. Anxious to hear what new laws Eric Holder or President Obama have in mind that can prevent people like him from getting a weapon and carrying it illegally. I guess the first thing to do is to have the IRS, NSA, and FBI investigate all members and sympathizers of the New Black Panthers, photographing any tattoos suggesting racial hate crimes, racial slurs, and violence. Determine if any of them have weapons illegally, and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any violations they might find. Then hope the justice department doesn’t dismiss the charges and let them go.

Will we be hearing from Mayor Bloomberg demanding this thug be sent to jail and kept there? Yeah right!

FEMA Denies Texas Request for Full Disaster Aid

When the federal government declined to give Texas officials all the disaster aid they sought after a deadly fertilizer plant explosion here in April, it not only outraged WEST-articleLargelocal leaders struggling to rebuild but also raised another, politically thornier issue.

At the memorial service for the victims of the plant explosion, mostly first responders, President Obama said . . .

“We’ll be there even after the cameras leave and after the attention turns elsewhere. Your country will remain ever ready to help you recover, and rebuild and reclaim your community.”

Never-mind. My teleprompter made me say that.

Only 38 percent of the county voted for Obama in 2008 and 3.4 percent of the population is black. Not that that makes any difference. Eh, screw them. No social justice for you!

So You Think Republicans Are Racist?

That anyone who opposed anything Barack Obama would do would be labeled a racist came as no surprise. This was obvious long before his 2008 election. Playing the race card is what democrats do. It’s their way to dismiss the issues because of skin color, rather than debate them. That republicans don’t stand up against the hateful attacks is another subject. Basically, and to their detriment, their moral standards prevent them from going there. But this is what needs to be said.

Here’s what people would have to believe of republicans if they fall for the classless playing of the race card.

  • We would be more than willing to welcome cap-and-trade with open arms, even if we paid a thousand dollars or more extra every year for our energy use, if Barack Obama were only white.
  • We would be dancing in the streets celebrating the dawning of government control of our health care if only Barack Obama were white.
  • It would be just dandy if government bureaucrats rationed health care for our parents, as long as the president is white.
  • We would jump at the chance of the government owning ALL of the auto manufacturing companies .. not just General Motors … if the president just didn’t have dark skin.
  • We would applaud those ACORN workers giving tax avoidance advice to a pimp and his prostitute if the workers hadn’t been black.
  • Most Americans – even ones that don’t pay income taxes now – would be more than willing to give 70% of everything they earn to the federal government when asked … so long as they are asked by a white president.
  • We would have been thrilled, I tell you … THRILLED to have all of those Islamic goons being held at Guantanamo be not only released, but sent to be school resource officers at our local government schools, if only a white president put that plan in motion.
  • It would be OK if a white president stood back and allowed Iran to build its coveted nukes … we’re only unhappy about that because a black president is doing it.
  • Deficits? We don’t care about deficits! Make our children and grand children and great grand children pay through the nose for our president’s spending habits … just so long as the president isn’t black.
  • Government pork? Like we actually care? Look … you folks in Washington can spend all the money you want – how about more studies of the mating habits of Polish Zlotnika pigs? – just make sure it’s not a black president who signs the spending bill into law.
  • We wouldn’t care if all illegal aliens were counted twice in the next Census … just so long as the president isn’t black.
  • Those Black Panther thugs who threatened voters in Philly? The ONLY reason we’re upset that they were given a pass is because Barack Obama is black.
  • Every single member of the president’s cabinet could be a tax cheat as far as we’re concerned … just so long as the president is white.
  • Forced unionization? Bring it on! We love card check! We love the idea of union goons threatening and intimidating workers to sign a card saying they want to belong to a union! What we don’t like is that a black president is pushing this idea.
  • Single-party talks with that Gargoyle that runs North Korea? It’s about time we legitimized that little pipsqueak. We’re only mildly upset here because the person who is doing that happens to be black.
  • More regulation of the finance sector? We could care less! For all we care you can nationalize the banks and decree that only the government can make home loans .. .and you can even apportion those home loans on the basis of race if you want to … just so long as the president is white!
  • Minimum wage? Like we care about that? Raise it to $15 an hour if you want! Just give us our white president back.

So the next time you hear the racist accusations pour from the lips of the likes of Chris Matthews, Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton, Bill Maher, Joe Scarborough, Whoopie Goldberg, Colin Powell, Janine Garofolo, Mike Papantonio, Larry Flint, Chuck Todd, Joy Behar, Ed Schultz, Bill Cosby, Patrick L. Cooney, Karen Finney, Cher, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Julian Bond, Lawrence O’Donnell, Candy Crowley, David Shuster, Rev. William Barber, Jesse Jackson, Charles Rangel, Morgan Freeman, and Mike Malloy, just realize what an imbecile they are.

Immigration Reform, The Scam

No offense to the CBO, but their numbers are not based in reality. It’s not their fault, it’s because of the way they must compute the numbers with the assumptions they are given. Flashback to the selling of Obamacare, we were told, by the President and the CBO, how premiums would go down. Not to belabor the point, but every other prediction of Obamacare turned out to be the exact opposite. The Gang of Eight’s S.744 is no exception. It’s deja-vu all over again. Skipping the cost issue for a moment, the bill does not stop the flow of illegals. According to the CBO assessment, the bill . . .The Gang of Nine

  • WILL NOT stop illegal immigration – Despite promises of a secure border, the bill would slow future illegal immigration by only 25 percent. In the next couple of decades, that means 7.5 million new illegal immigrants.
  • WILL drive down wages – For legal American workers, the bill would drive down their average wages. And the outfit that says they’re looking out for working people, driving down their average wages is not a concern of the SEIU. Their priority lies in increasing dues-paying membership from the illegals. Which explains why they are heavily ($2 Million in grants) involved in the Obamacare Health Care Exchange enrollment process. LA County AFL-CIO, $1 Million grant. Their annual budget, with 15 employees is $3 Million. Quid pro quo and community organizing in one sweet package.

Cool, ya with me so far? The cost issue is just as bad. The bill will burden taxpayers with trillions of dollars in welfare and entitlement costs for the newly legalized immigrants under amnesty.  Heritage’s Robert Rector explains:

S.744 provides only a temporary delay in eligibility to welfare and entitlements. Over time, S.744 makes all 18.5 million eligible for nearly every government program, including: Obamacare, 80 different welfare programs, Social Security and Medicare. When this occurs, spending will explode, but nearly all the real costs do not appear in the CBO score.

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, explained how the Gang of Eight purposefully hid the true costs of the bill:

The bill’s drafters relied on the same scoring gimmicks used by the Obamacare drafters to conceal its true cost from taxpayers and to manipulate the CBO score. There is a reason why eligibility for the most expensive federal benefits was largely delayed outside the 10-year scoring window: to mislead the public. As Ranking Member of the Budget Committee, I asked CBO to provide a long-term estimate. Sadly, CBO did not provide the long-term estimate as requested. As a result, the score effectively conceals some of the biggest long-term costs to taxpayers contained in this legislation, including providing illegal immigrants with Medicaid, food stamps, and cash welfare. Some members of Congress are already pushing efforts to expedite this eligibility.

The assumptions that these illegals will boost the economy are flawed when you consider their education level and that of the chain migration that follows. Their education level is a far cry from those under STEM (sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics), which the Democrat controlled Senate rejected.

According to Sen. Sessions . . .

CBO did not provide enough information to assess the assumptions it made about the educational background of illegal immigrants and thus their methodology may be substantially flawed. An accurate analysis would acknowledge that half of that population does not have high school degrees, and is therefore more likely to receive far more in government support than they will pay in the form of taxes. For every dollar a low-income illegal immigrant might pay in either taxes or payroll contributions, he or she could easily receive two dollars back from the government in the form of public assistance for their household. It defies logic and common sense for anyone to suggest there is not an enormous cost in choosing to provide welfare to those who are currently not eligible for these benefits.

As in Obamacare, when you rush into a major piece of legislation, you don’t get what you expect. The very fact that a “Gang of Eight” is ostensibly running the show should be the red flag right there. I’m for a gang of a hundred. ALL our Senators, working in the open on the floor of the Senate chamber, debating and hammering out every step of whatever ‘comprehensive’ immigration reform means. Doing what can be done, one step at a time. Starting with securing the borders, and turning back illegals.

As it is now, Sen. Sessions says “this bill guarantees three things: amnesty, increased welfare costs, and lower wages for the U.S. workforce. It would be the biggest setback for poor and middle-class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decades.”

Drones On U.S. Soil? Dam Right!

sky_warrior

“Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on U.S. soil?” Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa asked during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“Yes,” Mueller said, adding that the use was in “a very, very minimal way and very seldom.”

I’m sorry to hear that they are being used in “a very, very minimal way and very seldom.” Up to me, they would be employed full-time along our southern border, helping to protect our sovereignty. If only we had an administration willing to respond to border crashers, including OTMs (other than Mexican) like alQaeda.

There’s a way. But no will.

GOP Should Let Hispanics Be Hispanics

That means quit trying to beat Democrats at their game of identity politics and focus instead of doing what’s right for all Americans. Intelligent Hispanics get it. They get the conservative platform of equal opportunity, freedom, and personal and economic liberty. Which is about thirty percent of them.GOP Logo

In the midst of negotiations in Congress over an immigration overhaul, House Republicans are planning a series of meetings with Hispanic-Americans in the nation’s capital as part of a partywide effort to woo minority voters.

By taking the “GOP needs to reach out to Hispanics” bait from democratic strategists, the GOP is confirming the demagoguery the Left is spewing. Republicans are wasting their time getting wrapped around the axle chasing the 70 percent of Hispanics that vote by rote for Democrats. Fact is, if seventy percent of Hispanics voted for Romney instead of Obama in 2012, Romney still would have lost. Besides all that, when did benevolent democrats decide to help republicans get more Hispanic votes from them?

Combat Women? Can’t Pass Muster

Unfettered by failure, and with a memory shorter than sixty days, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, director of force marine_femalemanagement for U.S. Special Operations Command, are seemingly willing to lower standards in order to put women in the most physically demanding of military roles.

Back in April, the results of this experiment proved that women in the most demanding roles can’t cut it. No shame there. Just a fact of life.

SEIU Wants Open, Unprotected Borders

Claiming the cost of completing a border fence that was approved by Congress 5 or 6 years ago, and included again in the pending immigration bill, is too expensive, the SEIU (the world’s largest labor union) is broadcasting their activists to call their Senators in Washington to oppose protecting our border.

It’s funny how the SEIU doesn’t seem to recognize that the cost to taxpayers of having an un-secure border is way higher by orders of magnitude. Obviously, their concern about illegal immigrants isn’t the cost to taxpayers. On the contrary, their concern is to capture more dues-paying and/or government subsidized union members out of the millions that are here now and the millions that will follow. See it for what it is.

PRESBO Missing In Action

No, President Obama is not lost. If by ‘lost’ you mean he doesn’t know where he is. He’s lost because we don’t know where he is. Speaking of the now not so secret blanket capturing of all electronic communication. The same program that began as a result of the 9/11/2001 attacks under the Bush administration. And not only continued by President Obama, but expanded by Obama.barack_hiding

Where is he defending his position on this? No where. He sends out low-level surrogates to brag about how many attacks were stopped by it. That’s fine. But with opposition now building from the Left and the Right, you would think that Mr. Macho Barack Hussein Obama Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, would be brave enough to defend himself and the programs he’s using. You might think that, but you’d be wrong.

Truth is, he looks at everything he does through a political lens. And he sees trouble with his base through his lens if he were to take a stand in support of those programs. He sees his base running from him if he were to condemn the traitor that ran to Hong Kong to divulge top secret intelligence to the world because they see him as a hero. To skate out of this dilemma, he would have to talk through both sides of his mouth simultaneously. Something I don’t think even he can do.

That’s why the idealog President can’t be presidential and sit at his desk, in the oval office, and explain to the American people just what is going on and why it is going on.  An empty suit is as an empty suit does.

I’m reminded of a remark by James Carville during the 2008 campaign when he supported Hillary Clinton. Speaking about Barack, Carville said if Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two.
