» George Clooney Says Darfur Involvement 'Greatest Failure of My Life'

Clooney and his journalist father Nick smuggled cameras into the Darfur refugee camps four years ago to show the impact of the civil war that is estimated to have killed more than 300,000.

Since then, Clooney said little has changed.

Putting aside the fact that Clooney is a lefty radical moonbat, I can say that his heart is in the right place in regards to Darfur. Unfortunately, like too many sniveling liberals, his brain don't work nowhere near as good as his heart - he's trying to fix something without understanding why it's broken. His ignorance of the causes of the Darfur tragedy doomed his efforts from the start.

Instead of placing the blame on the root causes, liberals naturally assume that if anything's rotten in the world it has to be America's fault. That assumption blinds them and prevents them from taking real productive action.

Darfur is about islam and racism. It's about arab muslims vs negro muslims - and as usual, the arabs are not all that loving of their brethren in allah.

So taking pictures of refugees don't do diddly to help the situation as long as you allow the genocide to continue.

Wake up, George. If America is to save Darfur, we will have to send Marines not cameras. We would have to stomp mudholes in arabs, not take their pictures.

But those mean ole Marines just dont fit into your perfect little world, do they?

» UCLA Cans Professor James Enstrom for Thought Crimes

Under a hard tyranny, if professional intellectuals fail to toe the official line, they are imprisoned or killed. What happens to them in a soft tyranny?
...
One month after coauthoring an op-ed for Forbes.com expressing his concerns with these obviously pernicious regulations, Enstrom got a letter stating that he was getting canned because his "research is not aligned with the academic mission of the Department."

That academic mission: to help the moonbats running California use faulty science and phony environmentalist posturing to destroy the state's economy, with the rest of the country soon to follow it down the drain. Out of the ruins will arise a collectivist utopia, in which the inequalities unavoidably associated with freedom will never trouble us again, and enlightened experts will make all our decisions for us. Surely such a glorious end justifies any means.

For years -years!- under George W. Bush, the Democrats and their Leftist allies cried rivers of crocodile tears over the money being spent to first liberate, then stabilize that land. They claimed so often and so loudly to be worried about the debts incurred and the deficits run, that they convinced the electorate that they would actually be better stewards of the public’s money, and partly for that were given control of Congress in 2006.

In less than two years, the Democrats have made spending on the war in Iraq look like pocket change:

» What Recession? Michelle Obama Wears $635 Shoes on $4000 Per Night Hawaii Vacation
Why should we care how much the First Wookie pays for a pair of silly lookin' shoes? Are we indulging in a little class envy?

Context. It's the context, stupid.

Obama has lectured Americans about how they can not expect to live their lives as indulgently as they have in the past. He has lectured businesses about their travel and pay.

It's not class envy ... it's class contempt. We have boiling contempt for the class of parasite that is currently sucking the life out of our Republic. The parasites have the audacity to tell us we have to tighten our belts, do without AC, give up our automobiles ... and stop resisting the fundamental transformation. The Parasite in Chief takes a moment or two, once in a while, to step outside the current celeb-commie infested whitehouse party, wipe $2000 worth of grease off his purple lips and launch into a teleprompted speech about how us spoiled brat American commoners have got to change our lifestyles.

Barack Obama enjoys living like a king, so why shouldn't Michelle Obama live like a queen?

The First Lady was photographed last night in Hawaii wearing $635 per pair designer shoes by Maison Martin Margiela.

The shoe style is called "Leather open toe flat pumps." It features a "thin nude leather strap across the top of the toe."

A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy and working for the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work 88 hours (without taxes taken out) to make enough to pay for Michelle Obama's shoes. If she can get them on sale, they would only set her back $445 for 62 hours work.

The Obamas are staying at an $8.9 million estate for an estimated $4000 per night. To cover the Obama's ten night stay, the minimum wage worker would have to work two-and-a-half years (before taxes) to come up with the $40,000 Obama is reportedly laying out.

...

The news media has yet to call him out on his extravagance when there is 10% unemployment with no sign of the employment picture improving this coming year.

So yeah, it is a big whoop. While the Obamas enjoy a week vacation ... every 7 days ... they stand in $600 shoes to lecture us about our decadence.

I'm not arguing the necessity of declaring a state of emergency. It's a big hurricane, and the two week aftermath of hurricane Fran made a lasting impression on me.

Having been under the control of statist dhimmicrats for far too long, the state of North Carolina is burdened with an extensive collection of stupid legislations - not the least of which if General Statute 14-288.7. That little unconstitutional piece of bigotry makes it illegal for me to carry a gun off my property this morning - because of the declared state of emergency.

It matters not that the sky is blue, the air is calm and the forecasters say my county will see almost none of the effects of Earl. It matters not that I have a concealed carry permit. It matters not that my right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

» The Bankruptcy of Barack

Last night Obama delivered a speech about a war that he exploited for political advantage during the election, and ignored the rest of the time. A war that he tried to sabotage as a Senator, and neglected once in the White House. Where Bush conducted constant conferences with commanders in the field, Obama has let the clashing egos of former Clinton Administration staffers, and a few imported radicals, determine how the war will be conducted. Of all the charges leveled at Bush over the war, he could never be accused of just not giving a damn. Yet that is exactly the case with Obama. He just doesn't give a damn.

Mosque de Triomph
» What's in a Word?

"Dawa" may be an unfamiliar word to you. It is to most Americans, but we had better learn to understand it for it is almost certainly the motivation behind the drive to build the "Ground Zero" mosque in Manhattan.

...the name of the proposed mosque-community center ... Cordoba House, is derived from the Cordoba, Spain mosque built on the ruins of a Catholic church after the Muslim conquest of Spain in the 8th Century. The Christians reconquered Spain in 1492 and Islam lost "al Andalus."

This is one of the "humiliations" that ardent Muslims want to avenge. Thus, the name "Cordoba House" stands for "conquest" and the siting of it is an example of dawa in action: Islamist triumphalism.
...
Their is no Muslim constituency in lower Manhattan. Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama missed the point of Cordoba House entirely. It is not a matter of religious freedom or property rights. It is a matter of appropriateness. If it is allowed to be built virtually next door to Ground Zero, it will be dawa's greatest triumph in the United States to date.

And at the top of the page, is a rather interesting quote:
"The common law is the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people."

Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point -- the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930's was a leading proponent of the "international law" movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers' rights.'

» Boehner: 'Stimulus' Spending Sprees Have Failed Our Veterans

The Obama White House is in a hurry to claim credit for our troops’ success in Iraq – success made possible by the surge strategy then-Sen. Obama opposed as a candidate for president. The President has taken ownership of the flagging economy, but when will he get serious about creating jobs and cutting spending, and specifically address the unemployment rate among American veterans, which now stands at 11 percent, above the already-high national rate of 9.5 percent?

I have to take issue with the question "... when will he get serious about creating jobs", and I'm getting tired of Republicans using that argument. They, and the dhimmicrats, should know that the president cannot and should not create jobs. Government created jobs are useless.

The private sector can and will create real productive jobs when the government gets out of the way ... when the government gets of their backs ... when the government ceases to feed on them.

... turning over This Week to Christiane Amanpour is part of the growing blend of ABC News and the BBC.

The question though is who is Christiane Amanpour meant to appeal to? To viewers who wanted another foreign talking head snootily reading the news at them, not to them. Who were desperately longing for an ABC News on air personality sympathetic to Islamic terrorists? And why would those people even bother with ABC News, when they already have the BBC.
...
The left is furiously blasting Washington Post TV Critic Tom Shales for stating what was obvious to everyone, that Amanpour is out of place, completely clueless about US politics and insists on internationalizing domestic issues.
...
When the left turned magazines, newspapers and TV news into its own bully pulpit, they helped drive away consumers, while locking up those same publications and broadcasts into a liberal ghetto, that was still not liberal enough for them. As print publications increasingly turn their websites into masses of blogs, it becomes hard to tell the difference between Time Magazine, Foreign Policy and the New York Times-- and the Huffington Post and Daily Kos. All of them have angry left wing bloggers denouncing Republicans, America and Israel. The difference is that the official media outlets have more prominent names like Joe Klein or Robert Mackey blogging for them.
...
The left's hijacking of American culture has turned institutions into rags and rubble, and it will only get worse. Because the left does not know when to stop. Does not understand that it should stop. That is why left wing revolutions that do succeed, eventually culminate in multiple levels of purges that exterminate many of the original revolutionaries, or send them off to fight and die somewhere else, turning them into convenient martyrs who look good on blood-red T-shirts.

» The Tillman Story

"Lies" are of course of many kinds, and the kind that were told to the family of Corporal Tillman by the Army, regrettable though they may be, seem to me to be far more benign and forgivable than the ones now being told -- or, more often, insinuated -- by the propagandists against America's wars on terrorism. Throughout his piece, Mr. Karpel suggests that propaganda is ipso facto wrong and dishonest, irrespective of the war it serves. It may be so, but you'd think he would at least give a nod to the question of whether or not it is possible to fight a war without it. If, as I suspect, it is not, then it leads me to believe that the anti-war propagandists are, in fact, pacifists who oppose propaganda for the same reason that they oppose war: not because of any considered assessment of the justice or necessity of any particular conflict but because their aim is simply to make war, any war, impossible. Theirs is the attitude of those who sport the bumper-sticker, "I'm already against the next war."

Of course what they will prevent, if they are successful, is not war but the defense of America, which has a long, rich and, some would say, suicidal tradition of indulgence towards those of its own citizens who oppose its self-defense. Such people, insofar as they have any influence in the world, can only prevent us from fighting back, not our enemies from attacking us. They are still in thrall to the old hippie pseudo-profundity, "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" But we know very well what would happen if "they" gave a war and "nobody" came. "They" would win and the clever nobodies who think they can avoid it by not showing up would lose. Losing a war obviously holds no terrors for them, but we might want to ask somebody who has lost one -- a South Vietnamese, a Cambodian, an Iraqi Shi'ite after the first Gulf War, for example -- how they feel about it before the rest of us accept such defeatism and insouciance as our national defense policy.

Scruton was writing in 2004, and his focus was on Britain and Europe, not America.

This is much the same way that the liberal cultural elite has placed the blame for over a thousand years of Muslim persecution of Jews on "Zionist Extremism".

...
So what is their weakness? It is not in numbers; the Umma provides an almost unlimited source of jihadist war fighters for al Qaeda and its subsidiaries and the Taliban. It is not their fear of death because, for Muslims, the greatest honor is to die in the service of Allah. And it certainly is not their fear of war. Radical Islam is willing to sacrifice unlimited numbers of men, women, and children in their quest for world domination.

According to the FBI, hate crimes against Muslims increased by a staggering 1,600% in 2001. That sounds serious!

» Liberals and the Myth of an Anti-Muslim Backlash

There were 28 anti-Islamic incidents in 2000. That number climbed to 481 the year a bunch of Muslim terrorists murdered 3,000 Americans in the name of Islam on Sept. 11.

For 10 years we've been subjected to news stories about the Muslim backlash that's always around the corner. It didn't start with President Obama or with the "ground zero mosque." President George W. Bush was his most condescending when he explained, in the cadences of a guest reader at kindergarten story time, that "Islam is peace."

» Net-Neutrality Group Challenged by Ties to MoveOn.Org, ACORN

The Gun Owners of America (GOA) severed ties with the net-neutrality coalition Save the Internet after a conservative blog questioned the association with liberal organizations such as ACORN and the ACLU.

There's a lesson here.
The NRA has lost membership this year because of their willingness to compromise and make deals with socialists. Gun Owners Of America were quick to denounce the NRA. Now we see that they too, were associating with socialists in their own self interests - they perceived the Net Neutrality lie as protection of 2nd amendment rights. That's not evidence of wrong-doing, but it is a compromise.

The lesson is this, me thinks: Americans have to quit relying on organizations alone to secure their liberty ... stop waiting for someone else to fight for your rights.

No more compromises. No more deals to keep our rights.

» EPA Considering Ban on Traditional Ammunition ? Take Action Now

Ask a liberal, ask a dhimmicrat; are you trying to ban guns? No, of course we're not - (anymore). They're just gonna ban the bullets.

With the fall hunting season fast approaching, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Lisa Jackson, who was responsible for banning bear hunting in New Jersey, is now considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) ? a leading anti-hunting organization ? to ban all traditional ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, a law in which Congress expressly exempted ammunition. If the EPA approves the petition, the result will be a total ban on all ammunition containing lead-core components, including hunting and target-shooting rounds. The EPA must decide to accept or reject this petition by November 1, 2010, the day before the midterm elections.

Today, the EPA has opened to public comment the CBD petition. The comment period ends on October 31, 2010.

NSSF urges you to stress the following in your opposition:

* There is no scientific evidence that the use of traditional ammunition is having an adverse impact on wildlife populations.

* Wildlife management is the proper jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the 50 state wildlife agencies.

* A 2008 study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on blood lead levels of North Dakota hunters confirmed that consuming game harvested with traditional ammunition does not pose a human health risk.

* A ban on traditional ammunition would have a negative impact on wildlife conservation. The federal excise tax that manufacturers pay on the sale of the ammunition (11 percent) is a primary source of wildlife conservation funding. The bald eagle’s recovery, considered to be a great conservation success story, was made possible and funded by hunters using traditional ammunition ? the very ammunition organizations like the CBD are now demonizing.

* Recent statistics from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service show that from 1981 to 2006 the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the United States increased 724 percent. And much like the bald eagle, raptor populations throughout the United States are soaring.

Steps to take:

1. Submit comment online to the EPA.

2. Contact Lisa Jackson directly to voice your opposition to the ban:

Lisa P. Jackson
Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20460
(202) 564-4700
Fax: (202) 501-1450
Email: jackson.lisa@epa.gov

3. Contact your congressman and senators and urge them to stop the EPA from banning ammunition.

» From Hanoi Jane to Imam Obama

In the middle of the 1972 presidential campaign that featured President Richard Nixon versus the Democrats' Senator George McGovern, all of a sudden Americans were talking about something else.

A photograph.

Jane Fonda, already well on her way to transforming her image from glamorous movie star to left-wing radical activist, was visiting Hanoi that July, only days after the very liberal, anti-war McGovern claimed the Democratic presidential nomination. That would be Hanoi, North Vietnam. The enemy capital. In wartime. When hundreds of thousands of American kids were fighting for their lives in the larger cause of freedom.
...
The Ground Zero Mosque has now become the values issue of the 2010 campaign. The party of Hanoi Jane has been updated -- but, importantly, not replaced -- with the party of (as Rush Limbaugh chortles) Imam Obama.
And there's more to this than just the values issue of the Mosque. Much more.

» …And So It Begins

In the process of conquest, one of the most important strategies of the radical Islamist is the ability to operate without raising much interest and/or suspicion among the American people. Achieving success without fanfare is at the core of the movement directed at slowly eroding the very fibers of our society.

As much as the American people have to endure the appearance of spokespeople from organizations like CAIR (Council of American-Islamic Relations) on the screens of our News outlets, the work that organizations like CAIR have done has remained fairly unknown to the vast majority of the people, and certainly by design.
...
for the MSM, the most important concern is to shore up Obama’s approval rating among Americans, which has been steadily taking a severe beating in the last few weeks. Obama’s stand on the mosque issue has only aggravated the situation, making the job of the President’s apologists that much more difficult and desperate.

What the American people must realize is that radical Islam is working its magic to slowly subvert every belief that we may hold dear by using our own Constitution, which they are aiming at replacing with Shariah law, and the ever-present sense of tolerance typical of American society.

Islam is working through deception and subterfuge, hiding behind legitimate legal statutes, at times, while actively trying to destroy the same.

"If our tax rate approached that of the rest of the world, corporations would have an incentive to invest here," Otellini said. But instead, it's the second highest in the industrialized world, making the United States a less attractive place to invest--and create jobs--than places in Europe and Asia that are "clamoring" for Intel's business.

"Our corporate tax rates are the second highest in the world," and Congress has repeatedly failed to make an R&D tax credit permanent ...

"Capital is agnostic. It doesn't have a religion. It doesn't have a philosophy. It goes where it finds the highest returns." The problem, Marangi said, is that many other "countries have a more friendly regulatory regime than we do."

Indeed, how can one reason with a nation of pitchfork-wielding mobs brimming with "antipathy toward people who aren't like them" -- blacks, Hispanics, gays and Muslims -- a nation that is, as Michelle Obama once put it succinctly, "just downright mean"?

The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama overread his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.

Most have not a clue how hard it is to pump oil out of the ground, grow food, or build a bridge; all such largess is taken as givens, and produced by a money-grubbing distant “they” who like this sort of icky, retrograde work. (Had a young Barack Obama put away the Panama hat and the federal money for a summer, he could have apprenticed on an oil rig or picked peaches and learned something.)

I am always amused by the Indian, Pakistani, Arab, or South American journalist, who comes to the U.S. to be educated, stays, marries an American, begins writing in places like Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, or the Washington Post, starts lecturing red state/middle America about its blinkered prejudices, praises in the abstract his godforsaken and long since abandoned homeland — and since arrival has mastered the proper phraseology and referents to please an entrenched elite left who hired and alone reads him. America is always to be judged in the abstract, never in the sense of “compared to what?”
...
imagine a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house-type neighborhood in a so-so location. Suddenly this new mega-salesman moves in (1776-2010 is new). He tears down about four tract houses, and plops down in their place a faux-Florentine palazzo McMansion, as crass as it is comfortable. It towers over the rest and is full of glitzy appliances, with a five-care garage and pool, fake columns and domes — the whole bit. Then the proud new owner walks nightly down the neighborhood sidewalk with his white tennis shoes and a baseball cap, and smiling with his hand out-stretched, blaring out now and then to strangers — in sincere and heartfelt fashion as the nice guy he is — “How are you fellows doing? Real nice to meet you. Call me if I can help at all.”

I doubt the impressed neighborhood crowd would say, “Thanks so much. Please show me how you made such money to buy such an impressive house.” More likely at night, local youths would throw trash on the lawn, and spray graffiti on his stone wall — while during the day their parents would finagle how to marry at least one of them off to the rich salesman’s pom-pom daughters.

That’s sort of America — and the world. End of story.
