WikiLeaks: Send in The S.E.A.L.S.

WikiLeaks: Send in The S.E.A.L.S.


In an interview with Brian Williams last weekend, President Obama reflected on some of the false assertions often made about him: "There is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly." It was a keen observation. But the big story here isn't that Obama is skeptical of the sometimes reckless dissemination of misinformation by the new media. It's that he's also deeply disturbed by the reckless dissemination of real information by the nonmedia. As well he should be. Original Article

Why Mrs. Palin won't run

Why Mrs. Palin won't run


When news surfaced yesterday that Sarah Palin would be venturing to Iowa to headline the GOP's annual Reagan Day Dinner on September 17, she sparked a new round of media speculation about her 2012 presidential ambitions. Ever since Palin resigned from the Governor’s Mansion last summer, the will-she-or-won’t-she guessing game that occupies the minds of Republicans (and many optimistic Democrats) has turbocharged her appeal as a national figure. (Snip) And yet there is a strong case to be made that Palin faces large hurdles — some of her own choosing — in staging a 2012 run. Original Article

Brack Obama: More than pathetic

Brack Obama: More than pathetic

Other presidents have been wrong. Other presidents have been misguided. Other presidents have been weak and pusillanimous and pathetic. Only one truly disdains America. His name is Barack Obama. How else to explain his latest outrage against the country that elevated him to the ranks of world leadership? Last week, the Obama State Department submitted a report to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights on the supposed human rights violations taking place in the United States. According to the Washington Times, the report describes how the United States discriminates against the disabled, homosexuals, women, Native Americans, blacks, Hispanics and those who don't speak English. There is the expected pandering to Muslims...the report notes that until recently, the U.S. engaged in torture, unlawfully detained terrorist suspects and illegally spied on Americans communicating with terrorists ... but the report assures readers that Mr. Obama has been putting a stop to all that.

Guess what is controling some parts of AZ?

Posted by Corthell on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 7:52:58 AM

Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of Arizona


The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.
The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego.
They warn travelers that they are entering an "active drug and human smuggling area" and they may encounter "armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed." Beginning less than 50 miles south of Phoenix, the signs encourage travelers to "use public lands north of Interstate 8" and to call 911 if they "see suspicious activity."

Drunk baboons terrorize Cape Town

Drunk baboons terrorize Cape Town


The sun is setting over South Africa's oldest vineyard and the last of the wine-tasting tourists are climbing onto their buses. But one large family group has no intention of leaving – and there is little the management can do about it. (Snip) Each day, dozens of Cape Baboons gather to strip the ancient vines – the sauvignon blanc grapes are a particular favourite – before heading into the mountains to sleep. A few, who sample fallen fruit that has fermented in the sun, pass out and don't make it home. Original Article

A 13-story middle finger

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:54:07 AM

A 13-story middle finger

The proposed mosque near where the World Trade Center was attacked and destroyed, along with thousands of American lives, would be a 13-story middle finger to America.
It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious, so it is not surprising that the intelligentsia are out in force decrying those who criticize this calculated insult.
What may surprise some people is that the American taxpayer is currently financing a trip to the Middle East by the imam who is pushing this project, so that he can raise the money to build it. The State Department is subsidizing his travel.
The big talking point is that this is an issue about "religious freedom" and that Muslims have a "right" to build a mosque where they choose. But those who oppose this project are not claiming that there is no legal right to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center.
If anybody did, it would be a matter for the courts to decide – and they would undoubtedly say that it is not illegal to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center attack.

The intelligentsia and others who are wrapping themselves in the Constitution are fighting a phony war against a straw man. Why create a false issue, except to evade the real issue?

Left Turn: Build More Mosques

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:53:34 AM

Left Turn: Build More Mosques

When it comes to Islam, the GOP is letting the folks in the tinfoil hats steer the ship. Discarding the Bush-era "religion of peace" rhetoric that helped draw socially conservative Muslims to the GOP, Republicans have settled on a political narrative that implies any religiously observant Muslim is a potential domestic threat.
The resistance to the proposed Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan is hardly an exception. Protests against proposals for Muslim religious buildings are happening across the country, fueled by conservative writers intent on convincing their audience that Muslims are secretly plotting to end the American way of life and replace the Constitution with Taliban-style Sharia law. By treating all Muslim Americans as potential terrorist sympathizers, anti-Muslim conservatives strengthen the extremist narrative that the West is at war with Islam and further isolate Muslim citizens from American society.

Playing into Obama's hands

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:52:09 AM

Playing into Obama's hands

Financial expert Zubi Diamond, author of Wizards of Wall Street, says that Republican proposals to fix the economy are deficient because they fail to protect invested capital in the stock market from the hedge fund short sellers.Republican Representatives Paul Ryan and John Boehner, who voted for the $700 billion big bank bailouts that began under President Bush, have put forward much-publicized proposals to solve the economic crisis.But Diamond says he has had no luck in getting Boehner—or other top Republicans—to pay any attention to his detailed and specific plan to save the economy by reinstating the safeguard regulations that protect invested capital and shareholder rights.He argues that, until and unless the hedge fund short sellers are prohibited from looting the publicly traded companies, real economic growth cannot take place. It is this capital, he notes, that funds the loans for borrowers, the day-to-day operations of the corporations, their payrolls and the funds they needed for growth and expansion. “This is the money needed for job creation and employment,” he asserts.

'Mini-me' is Barack Obama

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:51:41 AM

'Mini-me' is Barack Obama

George Soros now rules over half of the Earth: Eurasia, North America and, with his foot in Brazil, a large chunk of South America.
With a Sorosian Barack Obama running the United States, a Sorosian Vladimir Putin running the neo Soviet Union of Third Millennium Russia, and that earliest of Sorosian visionaries, Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard, running an eternally Sorosian dialogue with the Tweedledees and Tweedledums of Red China, we have an entirely Sorosian New World Order.
The old euphemism for Marxist, the eternally resurrected treasonous lie called Progressive, has once again, as with Henry A. Wallace failed the smell test.
Therefore the new word for Progressive must be Sorosian.
HOLLYWOOD Sorosified: Oh, those rumored “splits” in the Democratic Party?
George Soros and Media Matters will fix that — unless, off course, George is so disappointed with his Oval Office Mini-Me that he’s given the order to bite the wolfhound.

Capitalism doesn't invest in communism

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:50:59 AM

Capitalism doesn't invest in communism

Unfortunately, for Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and all of their commie comrades here and abroad, capitalists know communism when they see it and they ain’t investing in it! Hence, the sudden realization that Obama’s so-called economic recovery via communism has indeed hit a stall.
Billions in investment capital left the American free market on the mere hint that Obama might become the new temporary resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Successful investors make their living predicting the future, anticipating financial trends before they happen. In the good ole days of the free-market economy, these predictions were all based on supply-side economic trends that we have witnessed for more than 200 years of economic supremacy in the U.S.

About condoning child rape and murder

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 6:58:55 AM

About condoning child rape and murder

This article is inspired by a shocking video I received of a young Muslim girl, 17 years old, her name was Dua, and she was brutally murdered by a mob of “peaceful” Muslim men and women. (See Video Warning… If you have a weak stomach, don’t watch it)
The girl had rejected an older 50 something man her parents had arranged for her to marry.
By not wanting to be forcibly married off and date raped by some twisted old child molesting “peaceful” Muslim man, she had violated Sharia law, and her sentence, death by stoning. Without the formality of due process and a fair trial of course.
Women and Property the Koran says:When one is given a woman, servant, or cattle, one should seize its forehead and pray to Allah. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1918 p.157. See, also Muwatta’ Malik 28.22.52
I try to imagine the kind of people who could commit such evil; it’s hard for me to even contemplate.
Is Islam an organized criminal syndicate that has a goal of overthrowing all existing organized governments by force?
Is it an ego thing? Maybe hyper-machismos?
As defined in Webster’s …(1: a strong sense of masculine pride: an exaggerated masculinity (2: an exaggerated or exhilarating sense of power or strength
It appears to me, and I have first hand experience, that most Muslim men are Misogynists, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian.
Do they believe they are charged with a religious commandment to kill?
