Obama’s View of America

Now it’s measured.  Obama’s 2011 SOTU speech is at an 8.4 grade level, third lowest since 1934.  H/T ZIP; Politico

Angry Woman

Michelle Obama is angry at being stereotyped as an angry black woman.  Wut?

Time for the Board to vote in a new CEO

This is what happens when we vote a “community organizer” the position of CEO of the world’s largest economy.

Insurance thought for the day

If you want the privilege of a driver’s license, the vehicle you’re driving must be insured.   It’s mandated.  What makes the Obama administration think mandated health insurance will achieve any better than the 85% subscription rate achieved by motorists?

Obamacare is a crock.  Repeal.

A Salt & Fattery

That’s just too sweet a term for this insanity to pass over.

Flight 93 site’s Islamic Crescent Memorial

This discussion has been brewing for about five years. Alec Rawls at Flopping Aces recently posted a four-part video series on the Flight 93 memorial and the repeated Islamic crescents readily visible in the accepted design.

I’ll post part 1 of 4 here. Follow the link to see the other three videos.

The Mavi Marmara Setup

The true story behind the Mari Marmara flotilla is finally reported. STFU?

Liberal Brains go “pop!”

A most thoroughly enjoyable posting about one of my favorite authors, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, over at BigGovernment by Mr. Wrestling IV:

Well, she was black, so they could not dismiss her as a racist; she had lived in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, The Netherlands and the United States, so they could not call her an ignorant provincial hick; she was an avowed atheist, so they could not call her a Christian bigot on a crusade against peaceful Islam; and she was multi-lingual, articulate, and brilliant, so they couldn’t just call her stupid. All the pejoratives they usually apply to people who disagree with them wouldn’t work, and so they were left to confront her ideas, and those ideas stripped them naked, rent their garments of superiority and condescension into tatters at their feet, and left them angry and confused, whining to each other in the corners of the room, unable to say anything to her face. Their favorite weapons, ad hominem name-calling and sneering condescension, were disarmed.

The word “Illegal” must be invisible to the left

SB 1070 was signed last Friday in Arizona.  The law, in short, grants the local police authority to enforce illegal immigration laws not being enforced by the federal government.  Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio was enforcing federal illegal immigration statutes under authority of the federal government until ex-governor Janet Napolitano revoked his authority.  Since then we might as well not have a border surrounding our country.

Perhaps what incites the left to vandalism of the Arizona State Capitol is the fact that we have borders.  (I thought the left didn’t want a “world economy.”)

Perhaps the left wants anarchy.  I’ve yet to hear one single suggestion offered from the progressive left that would enforce our laws on ILLEGAL immigration. I capitalized that imaginary word so perhaps a progressive might find it.  Do you think I don’t have to produce my proof of citizenship when I’m in Mexico or any other foreign country as a non-citizen?

Nobody’s rights are trampled by Arizona’s mimic of federal law.

No authority is granted to police allowing them to ignore constitutional rights.  Start your count-up clocks.  How long will it be before an Arizona law enforcement officer is convicted of trampling someone’s constitutional rights?   I emphasize convicted because it’ll take no time whatsoever for someone to file a complaint after a traffic stop leads to someone’s being arrested for being here illegally.

And so to the invisible word.  Case 1 – MSNBC notes it is now a crime to be illegal.  At least MSNBC is good for a chuckle every so often.  Case 2 – even the title is disingenuous by leaving out the concept ILLEGAL.  How convenient.  If legal immigrants have no constitutional rights, many of my friends and family are in for a big shock.  Umm, wake up!   The constitution protects US Citizens, not citizens the of Lower Atlantis.  That’s what citizenship and borders are about.  Being American is a privilege, not a right.
