Do gay activist groups like Equality Illinois condemn discrimination when it’s gays that are doing the discriminating?
Please checkout Equality Illinois’ website, in particular the “Our Mission” section where Equality Illinois condemns discrimination supposedly against everyone in the state of Illinois.
In the past, Equality Illinois has energetically participated in and supported various efforts here in Boystown to attack Republican political figures and Christian family groups as bigots — alleging these people discriminate against gays in the state of Illinois.
Bill Brady, 2010 Republican candidate for Governor, was attacked in this way, with no proof ever offered that he’s a bigot, as Equality Illinois and other gay attackers alleged. Of course as soon as the election was over and Pat Quinn (Democrat) was elected, the crusade against Brady ended. If this man was really a dangerous bigot on the loose in the state, it’s ponderous that Equality Illinois decided to never say another word about the man or his role in Illinois politics.
Congress needs a little wake-up call…..again
Everybody wants a debt deal so that we can avoid a financial meltdown (haven’t we already melted down?). I bet every back room in Washington has lawmakers in them trying to become the next American hero. Financial experts have reviewed both Boehner and Reid’s plans to save America and they all agree that neither plan will stop us from suffering a credit downgrade (not enough spending cuts). Apparently the only plan that will allow us to keep our AAA rating is the Cut-Cap-Balance plan.
Erick Erickson over at RedState is asking anyone and everyone to call their congressman to let them know that this is the plan we want. No compromise.
Here’s Erick’s plea….
Tell them to hold the line on Cut, Cap, and Balance.
A host of conservative organizations are coming out against Boehner’s plan because, among other things, it only cuts $6 to $7 billion and punts major reform to a commission of 12 that will only need 7 votes to raise taxes.
Call your congressmen and senators and tell them to hold the freaking line.
I think the congressional switchboards have been in overload status all day but Erick has a direct link so that you can bypass the switchboard.
Let’s get going on this.
Do you know of an accurate list of cities and venues where “The Undefeated” is playing?
I am very eager to see the Sarah Palin documentary “The Undefeated” but it’s not playing here in Chicago.
There was, apparently, a one-time, unpublicized showing of the movie — for one screening only — that I didn’t hear about. With no press or advertisement, hundreds of people still turned out for it.
Evidently, the film is packed wherever it is being shown…but it’s only a handful of theaters.
Does anyone know of an accurate list of where it is playing?
If there’s a venue anywhere near Chicago, it feels like road trip time.
I’d love to be able to do a synopsis and write-up on “The Undefeated” for those of you who won’t have the opportunity to drive to a city where it’s being screened.
Could blacks really not show up to vote in 2012 to re-elect Obama?
Much of the black community was pretty obnoxious back in 2008 regarding the election of Obama, who was branded “the historic and unprecedented first black president”, despite being half-white and mostly Arab (since his Kenyan father was actually only 1/4 black and 3/4 African Muslim).
Blacks here in Chicago harassed Hillary volunteers during the primary campaign, calling us RAAACISTS! for supporting Clinton instead of Obama…when we knew all along how terrible Obama would be as president and did everything we could to stop him from getting the nomination. The Obama campaign clearly ramped up the racial tension and actively encouraged black people to hurl racially-motivated insults and epithets at the Clintons themselves. Remember what happened during the South Carolina primary back in 2008? Obama surrogates not only played the race card against both Hillary and Bill Clinton, but Obama pushed the Pigford Black Reparations scam to black community leaders as a carrot to lead them away from supporting the Clintons and secure them in the Obama camp (it was then-Senator Obama who engineered the Pigford Black Reparations scam, which was a reward to the black community for abandoning and attacking the Clintons so Obama could become president).
On election night back in 2008, I attended the McCain/Palin results watch events in Chicago, with one group hosted in a hotel overlooking Grant Park downtown…directly across the street from where the Obama cult rally took place. It was nowhere near as large as the cameras led people watching on television to believe (with Mayor Daley apocryphally claiming at the time that “there were 2 million people there!”, when a few days later the Park Service admitted it was more like 300,000, which is less than the attendance of both the Gay Pride Parade here in Boystown or the Taste of Chicago food festival downtown). But there were indeed a lot of Obama cultists out in force that day, most of them being part of the national lamestream media, with “journalists” crying on camera, so emotionally affected by Obama’s election.
Inside the hotel, some group affiliated with Jesse Jackson had one of the ballrooms for an event of their own. Many black attendees of the group, all dressed in orange Jesse Jackson tee shirts, thronged the corridors, elevators, and public rooms of the hotel loudly cheering not for Obama, but for their race. “A black man in the White House!”, they shouted at anyone white. “It’s the Black House now, suckers!” They shook their butts, made obscure and bizarre hand and arm gestures (which are apparently common in black fraternity and sororities, but alien outside the black community), and hooted and hollering until dawn over Obama’s win.
In an elevator with other McCain/Palin supporters riding to our floor, several of these orange-shirted Jackson affiliates made horrible comments to us, in playground, taunting tones unexpected from grown adults. It was a very tense elevator ride, because it wasn’t about the election of a politician…it was about these particular black people singling out the white people in front of them for a verbal attack based on our race as opposed to theirs.
Of course, because these were black people doing the taunting and freely shouting obnoxious racially-motivated exclamations into the air, this was all okay. The fact these were people participating in an orange-shirted Jesse Jackson event of some kind just made everything all the more obvious.
After the election came the belief that “Obama money” would be flowing into the black community like honey from a Pennsylvania Avenue bee hive once Obama took over. Remember the absurd, delusional woman who said on camera that Obama was going to pay her rent, and her gas bill, and her car note, etc.? There were near-riots in Detroit when black people lined up to get their “Obama money”, when none was to be had.
The only “Obama money” that ever materialized was that affiliated with the Pigford Black Reparations scam that Obama cooked up as a sitting US Senator and pushed through as President — but those reparations went only to the politically connected Obama operatives in the South, as payback for their help defeating the Clintons.
In a city like Chicago, Obama has done about as much for blacks as President as he did for them as a US Senator or a state senator here in Illinois before that: jack smack.
Obama does not care about black people, largely because Obama does not consider himself to be a black person. Throughuot his life, Obama has only been black when it’s best suited him. Mostly, Obama considers himself to be a Muslim and an Indonesian, based on the obvious fact that he spent his formative years in a foreign country hating America and was adopted by Indonesian Lolo Soetoro when his mother married this Indonesian man. There is an alien, foreignness to Obama that’s the root of who this man is. Very clearly this keeps him from relating to the lives and problems of Americans…especially the black ones.
I’ve always found it striking that Obama has allowed his grandmother and brothers in Africa to live in abject squalor, suffering without electricity in their homes, while he enjoyed great riches benefitting from everything the Left showered him with as Leftists prepared Obama’s rise to the top. He could have very easily made a better life for his black relatives, including his Aunt Zetuni who lived in a housing project in Boston (illegally so), but he chose not to.
Just as he chose not to do a darn thing to benefit the black community he represented here in Chicago as a state senator…and then recommitted to doing nothing for the black community as a US Senator after that.
Here and there, I hear black community leaders in Chicago grumble about this.
They get angry when pressed for an opinion about what Obama has done for blacks as president.
According to this bit in the Washington Post, blacks are not enthused about re-electing Obama.
I wonder how hard it will be to gin up the race-card flinging, hatefest the Obama campaign produced with ease back in 2008 when this spectacle is needed by his re-election campaign next year.
Will so many black people participate in this the next time around?
Will black people get on the Obama bandwagon again to intimidate white voters and call anyone not voting for Obama a RAAACIST again?
More importantly, will people be intimidated and bullied this way again?
Do the threats of being called a RAAACIST carry as much weight now, and will they carry that much weight again in 2012?
Will Republicans actually grow a spine and push back on this garbage…or will the Cocktail Party GOP establishment stand back and allow these threats of being called RAAACISTS for opposing Obama’s re-election hamstring the Republican effort in 2012?
I’ve heard several times now that black voters will not show up for Obama in the numbers Obama needs to win re-election in 2012. Though it’s rare to hear it from black people on the street, there is immense disappointment in Obama in the black community.
But, the simple truth is that it was not black voters that gave Obama the win in 2012.
Obama won because independents voted for him to prove they were not RAAACISTS and very foolish Republicans sat home on election day “to teach the party a lesson” because they felt McCain was not conservative enough.
Will this happen again in 2012?
What think you?
Australian courts deny a man’s Sharia defense.
This sobering image, showing a 40-year-old groom sitting beside his 11-year-old future bride in Afghanistan, brought Stephanie Sinclair top honors in the annual Photo of the Year contest sponsored by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
(My apologies for not snoping the original picture but the above picture is very much a real portrait of pedophilia in Islam.)
Finally….some good news on the Sharia war front. An Australian court has sentenced a man to 10 years in prison for pedophilia. The 31 year old married father had been having sex with an 8 year old girl for several years until she became pregnant…that’s when he got caught.
His defense? “Hey, I’m Muslim and it’s ok for us to do that kind of stuff.”
But Melbourne Judge Lisa Hannan didn’t think it was ok. “Your conduct is abhorrent to anyone with even a shred of decency or moral compass,” Judge Hannan said.
The Islamic community isn’t too happy about this. The Muslim invasion has been going on in Australia for some time now and this is a definite setback. So…in protest, a prominent Saudi cleric, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, has issued a fatwa that there is no minimum age that a girl can be married….“even if they are in the cradle.” (no kidding..his exact words) Fawzan goes on to say “Uninformed interference with Sharia rulings by the press and journalists is on the increase, posing dire consequences to society, including their interference with the question of marriage to small girls who have not reached maturity, and their demand that a minimum age be set for girls to marry.” He then stresses the fact that no where does Sharia set an age limit for marrying and that Muslim men have always relied on the Koran for guidance. The specific verse is Koran 65:4, which says that men should marry girls who have not started menstruating yet because …well…Mohammad married his favorite wife, Aisha, when she was six. They “consummated” the marriage when she was 9 and if Mohammad did it then everything’s a-okay.
The cleric ends his fatwa with a warning….“It behooves those who call for setting a minimum age for marriage to fear Allah and not contradict his Sharia, or try to legislate things Allah did not permit. For laws are Allah’s province; and legislation is his exclusive right, to be shared by none other. And among these are the rules governing marriage.”
Yep…Islam….that lovely religion of peace (and pedophilia).
Go Australia Go!
Fast and Furious and Immigration Reform…could they be linked?
As the investigation continues into the scandalous DOJ’s Fast and Furious Mexican gun walking scheme, I can’t help but wonder if there was also another reason that Eric Holder wanted thousands of assault weapons to end up in the hands of Mexican thugs. I’m not a big conspiracy theorist but could it be possible that by arming drug cartel members in Mexico… causing an escalation in the drug war… it would be easier for illegal immigrants here in the US to seek asylum? After all…if Mexico is a war torn country how could we possibly deport anyone back into that mayhem? Picture poor Ramone and his wife Maria and their 3 small children trembling in fear at the thought of being sent back to their homeland to face these vicious thugs. Those of us who want something done about the Mexican invasion would be branded as monsters.
The US law on asylum is pretty specific. In order to be granted asylum you must first be classified as a refugee. Each year the president and congress have to agree on the number of refugees that will be allowed and only a certain amount will be allowed from certain regions of the world.
The President and the State Department have a lot of control as to who is deemed a refugee. They have the power to declare a certain group of people refugees (without the consent of Congress). Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) introduced a bill this year called the Refugee Protection Act. Here’s what part of the bill says…
‘(B)(i) The President, upon a recommendation of the Secretary of State made in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, and after appropriate consultation, may designate specifically defined groups of aliens–
‘(I) whose resettlement in the United States is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest; and
‘(II) who–
‘(aa) share common characteristics that identify them as targets of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion or of other serious harm; or
‘(bb) having been identified as targets as described in item (aa), share a common need for resettlement due to a specific vulnerability.
I realize that the millions and millions of illegals that are here all couldn’t possibly be granted refugee status but… thousands and thousands could quietly be approved and on their way to citizenship. I think that if the drug war in Mexico got bad enough, the democrats would introduce sweeping legislation that would grant millions of illegals temporary refugee status ( for humanitarian reasons) thus laying the path for US citizenship.
All this could have been possible before the lid was blown off Fast and Furious. The ATF officials in the US lied repeatedly to ATF field agents in Mexico about what was really going on. At one point, assault weapons were literally flooding across the border and our ATF attache to Mexico, Darren Gil, started complaining to his superiors in the US… saying basically “what the hell is going on?” The ATF officials in the US were afraid that Gil was going to say something to the Mexican government about Fast and Furious. Gil claims that he didn’t know the extent of Fast and Furious and for months he was told that the operation was being shut down….but it wasn’t.
It wasn’t until Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed with a Fast and Furious weapon that the “you know what” hit the fan. It’s almost too much to take in. There are new details revealed almost every day by the investigation. I know that Obama is not too happy about the timing of all of this. This will possibly continue into the 2012 elections.
I have only found one reference linking Fast and Furious to illegal immigration reform and it was from one lone blogger who has the same curiosity that I do about it.
Is it a crazy to think that this administration would flood Mexico with assault weapons in order to escalate the drug war so that illegal immigrants could get a path to citizenship by seeking asylum?
This administration is quickly proving that nothing is too far fetched for them.

Tuesday Open Thread: July 26th, 2011
Did you watch Obama’s address last night? In case you missed it…you really didn’t miss anything. As predicted, his sanctimonious butt claimed to be the mature one in Washington…ready to compromise for the American people. It’s us damned conservatives that are messing things up.
It was hard to stomach. Thankfully it was a short one. Batteries running low on the teleprompter? He had no right interrupting The Bachelorette.
Seriously, this is becoming such a con game that it’s almost funny. I thought that John Boehner did an excellent job with his follow up address. I would actually say that he schooled Obama.
What do you think?
What else is on your minds this Tuesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the world?
