Pat Condell: I think

“Let me get this straight.  We’re supposed to show tolerance and respect for a religion that doesn’t know the meaning of either word and goes out of its way to prove it every day?”

“All week we’ve heard Muslims telling us that we in the West need to understand how important the prophet is to them.  We do understand, and we don’t care… we don’t give a damn about your feelings.  Our feelings are more important, and our feelings tell us that we’re sick to the back teeth of hearing about your religion, so stick a sock in it.”

Respect is earned in the West – not demanded. It is also a two way street – when Muslims think it is one way only and that our Rights are something to be sacrificed on your Alter of an Honor-Society.  Of COURSE there are Dhimmis in the West that will bow so low that you Islamists might think they are showing respect. Or, at least the Dhimmis think they are showing something akin to “respect”.  You Islamists know better – their Neville Chamberlin show-alikeis merely a mask of something more dangerous to us: fear.  You smell weakness in our elected American leaders, Barry and Hillary – you’re smiling as half of your work is already accomplished. That commercial that the State Department ran in Pakistan of President Obama and Sec. of State Hillary prostrating themselves over an American exercising their First Amendment Right was not just a waste of $70K of taxpayers monies, they merely showed us how partisan they are – and not on the side of the traditional American way of life.  Free Speech means being able to say what we want, when we want, where we want, and about what we want – and whether it offends you or not.

And they are embarrassed about it. And that is the saddest thing of all.

If there’s a Flag, there’s gotta be a Pledge, yes?

With the now “down the Memory Hole” Obama Flag (as observed by Grokster Tim), there has to be words for that Flag, right?  OK, a 15 second off-the-top-of-my-head one-off (and I really don’t want to think about it any longer than that – the whole idea is just plain cultish-creepy) along with this campaign’s Pledgers to Obama:

Pledge To ObamaI pledge allegiance to the “O”
of the United cult of Obama,
and to the useful idiot collectivism for which it stands
One Kingdom under the Organizer,
Divider,
with redistribution and socialism for the rest of us

And if after that, you can’t remember the real thing (given that some schools and teachers no longer believe in filling young skulls full of mush such nonsense), go after the jump.  In the meantime, here are a bunch of those cultists (otherwise known as “entertainers”) who actually did pledge allegiance to Obama back in 2008:

And now for a bit of honesty…

I guess he’s sitting in a heavily Conservative district or in one with a WHOLE BUNCH of Obummed voters (who will not be stating the same pledge as last time). (H/T: Maggie’s Farm)

Microcosm of Nanny State Failure: School Lunch

Being programmed by the state has finally hit kids where they live–in the stomach.  And there is an important lesson to be learned if the kids and their stomachs are listening.  That lesson is this: Federal mandates apply force, limit choices, and result in waste, and that is exactly what has happened thanks to Michelle Obama and her meddling bureaucrats at the USDA etc.

The Government was given broad power to enforce menu standards, limiting calories, and forcing food onto menus that kids simply will not eat.  The result is waste on both sides of the serving line; costs to purchase the mandated foods that cafeteria managers know kids will not eat, the forced increase in the cost of lunches to meet some arbitrary Federal guideline, and then the waste as food that is being forced on students that is thrown away.

This is the alpha and omega of the centrally planned government that Democrats dream of.  And how are the kids responding….

The Free State Project and New Hampshire, “the luckiest state in the history of the United States.”

Thank you, Free State Project, for choosing New Hampshire!
On October 1, 2003 I gave a talk at a press conference in New York city announcing the Free State Project’s choice of New Hampshire. I said at the outset that “New Hampshire is the luckiest state in the history of the United States to be chosen by the Free State Project.” Now, almost nine years later, that statement has been borne out.

As  a very close observer—not to mention participant—in New Hampshire state politics, I can say without reservation that the effect of the Free State Project migration  on our state has been positive. Crucially so in the context of state-level politics. First of all, the state Republican Party would not have been graced by the incredibly positive leadership of Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien and the responsible Republicans around him without the backing of supporters who came out of the Free State Project (it was a very close Speaker’s election, remember).

Is The Honorable Judge Lewis a Hack?

Strafford County New Hampshire Superior Court Judge John M. Lewis has struck down a requirement that out of state students declare domicile in New Hampshire if they want to vote here and in the process has undercut the purpose of voter ID–to ensure that people who vote on local issues and who elect representatives who … Read more

S.3307 The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act…Guess Who Voted for It?

Michelle Obama Minister of crappy public school lunches
Eat that spinach…Eat it!

S.3307 (2010) is the legislation that empowered the Feds to regulate local school lunches. It is the regulation that is driving up the cost of school lunches by law because the law demands parity of price regardless of cost. It is the law that limits the number of calories and other nutritional elements to a national standard, regardless of a student’s size or activity level. It is the law that limits menu choices to those defined by the central government, choices kids are rejecting in large numbers, resulting in food being wasted. (Food that costs more because of the law.)

Kids are hungry. High School Athletes are under-nourished. They don’t like or want the food being forced on them. Black markets are forming to fill the need. And food is being wasted.

Let’s face it, Hungry kids do not make good students. This law is a turd sandwich.

So who among the New Hampshire Delegation voted for this crappy central planning nightmare? How about all of them.

Data Point: Household Incomes down 8.2% under Obama Administration

Note: the time limit for Obama to keep blaming Bush has expired.  The time limit has been reached and expired in which Obama can keep blaming what he inherited – he campaigned for the job. Note: this is a result of his Administration, his ideology, his grasp of systematic economics, and his skill as a … Read more

President Obama’s Failing Foreign Policy

Claims that President Obama’s foreign policy is successful can only be explained by pure partisanship or by criteria putting the interests of others ahead of those of our country and our citizens.

We credit President Obama for killing Osama and other al Qaeda leaders.  Obama outlawed enhanced interrogations that led to Osama.  The attack was delayed almost a year after Osama’s location was known.  Obama prepared to blame  someone else if the raid failed.  Obama’s quick crowing about Osama’s death destroyed the value of the intelligence that the raid gathered.  But, Osama is dead.  Congratulations.

‘Our Stripes’ Disappears in the Night

The now infamous Obama Flag print with the Anal ‘O’ and five bloody stripes has apparently found the flat edge of the internet world and been consumed by the ethereal monsters that swell the memory abyss.  One of the duck-and-cover guards at Big ‘O’ is claiming it sold out, but BuzzFeed observed that other items … Read more

The Obama Flag…

…and the bloodied wall in Benghazi. The wall was apparently smeared with blood when an American clutched at it as he was being dragged out to be murdered. The Obama Flag.

November is coming….

…and you don’t need to tell that to the people in Centreville, Virginia. Obama visited them on Saturday, July 14, 2012. Here’s what he saw….

Face Plant – So Who Do We Tax After That?

As a followup to this post on Taxing the rich, I did want to point something else out.   Even if you taxed the rich at 100% you still couldn’t pay for even one year of Obama/Democrat spending.  Not even one full year.  And that’s just for running the government, and not a penny toward the 16 trillion dollar deficit.  And yet that is their answer for dealing with the spending problem.

Seeing as the top 5% already pay 90% of all Federal taxes this begs the question, and it’s one you should feel free to ask New Hampshire Democrats as well…If there are no rich, becasue you took all their money,  and we can’t even pay one year of the budget with this one time tax of 100%, then who do you tax to pay for the rest of that year, every year after that, and the 16 trillion dollar deficit after that?

Ask them. (You could also ask them if this would mean the Democrats are shutting down government, ask them who built what, ask them how this much irresponsible spending is not a tax on the middle class–seeing as you can’t pay for any of it without taxing them…use your imagination, they have left you with so many lies there is no shortage of material to work with.)

What Happens If Obama Wins?

This is a direct question to my Libertarian leaning friends who claim to have a love of liberty so deep that they would rather watch it bleed out on the street than vote for Mitt Romney.  I get it.   I was never a huge Romney guy.  I was no fan of John McCain either but I understood he risk that Obama represented to liberty.  Not enough of us did and Obama was elected.

So here we are again, almost four years into the worst presidency ever, a world in chaos, economic, political, and that same guy wants four more years.   Is it really worth the risk?

And just to be clear, I do not care about your Gary Johnson or Ron Paul write-in fantasies.  We are way, way past that.  This is the real world. This is about putting Liberty on life support.  About keeping it breathing.   To stop the bleeding before there is nothign left to save.   And color it any way you want but voting for anyone but Romney (at this point) is a vote for Obama.  I don’t like it, but that’s how it is.  And while you are free to vote for whomever you like regardless, no matter what the risk, I want you to honestly answer this question first, before you go to the polls in November and risk it.

What Happens if Obama Wins?

(And for those intent on going off on some libertarian anti-Romney rant…The almighty says don’t change the subject just answer the F…ing Question.)

Breaking News: NH Judge Tosses Out Voter ID Law

This just in.  Judge Lewis (the Fixer) in Strafford County Court, has caved to the League of Women Voters and other left wing interests and tossed the New Hampshire voter ID law under the  bus.

I do not have the specifics of the decision, but it is already being challenged and will likely have go the State Supreme Court for further review.

At least one motion to intervene has been submitted and received (full text on the jump), and at least one additional challenge has been submitted as I write this.

This is still developing…

The Irony Alligator Rises To Bite Liz Warren In Her…um…’Law Practice.’

Liz Warren - Practiced Law in MA without a licenseI’m having an Irony and hypocrisy overload.  Where to start?  Did you hear the one about Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren…?

From Legal Insurrection

Warren represented not just Travelers, but numerous other companies starting in the late 1990s working out of and using her Harvard Law School office in Cambridge, which she listed as her office of record on briefs filed with various courts.  Warren, however, never has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

Sounds bad and may she burn in that special hell reserved for such scoundrels, but that’s not even where I’m going with this. (See the picture for a hint…)
