Fight the power

Posted on July 6, 2015 | 2 comments

The Oregon judge commissioner who knowingly put the anti-gay marriage bakers out of business with a fine they could never pay tried to beggar them further.

“In the ruling, [Commissioner Brad] Avakian placed an effective gag order on the Kleins, ordering them to ‘cease and desist’ from speaking publicly about not wanting to bake cakes for same-sex weddings based on their Christian beliefs.”

So as not to be able to raise money from sympathizers beyond their immediate circle to help them pay the $135,000 fine for, get this, “mentally raping” the two Lesbians they refused to serve. Oh, please. But Mr. Judge Commissioner didn’t enjoin us from helping the Kleins by posting the address of their new Internet site.

Where they seem to be as defiant as ever, risking their hides anew with this wording of their Web ad: “We here at Sweet Cakes strongly believe that when a man and woman come together to be joined as one, it is truly one of the most special days of their lives, we feel truely honored when we are chosen to do the cake for your special day.”

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party, Stalinists of old and of late, are daring anyone else to try and follow suit. Why don’t we all get together and make the Kleins richer than they could ever imagine? Me, I would be more creative, but to each their own. That really is the essence of the religious clause of the First Amendment after all.

They’re going to need to pay more lawyer fees it seems and it would be lots more effective than handing our money to pols who will only go back on their promises after they’re elected. Lying, as always, and merely adding to the new state coercion. Eh?

To coin a phrase: Fight the power. Order a cake or some cookies.

UPDATE: It’s always worth fighting the left, instead of trying to accomodate it the way pathetic RINOs do. Why? Because, as Sultan Knish explains, the left is only interested in power: “The left does not care about gay rights. If you doubt that, consider how many of the left’s favorite Muslim countries have gay rights. The left has recently divided its campaign passions between gay marriage and defending Iran. Iran denies the existence of gays and hangs them where it finds them.”

Obama priority: diversity not security

Posted on July 6, 2015 | 1 comment

“At a time when global terrorism is resurgent, when the Middle East is burning, when Russian boots are marching, when China is ramping up its military and Iran is on the verge of going nuclear, is it really a good idea to ask the CIA to concentrate on achieving a 30% minority quota in the agency’s leadership ranks?”

Sure it is, when your name is Barry Hussein Obama and going easy on ISIS and other jihadis and hard on the Kurds and Israelis is your game. After all, even NASA has been instructed to spend its time “reaching out” to Muslims. And the new CIA director is the scowling John Brennan, an Arabist, career bureaucrat and longtime specialist in obfuscating the Islamist threat.

Because turning the U.S. inside out is what our Little Barry is all about. He was, after all, a red-diaper baby, and so, as Judicial Watch has lately discovered, was his longtime chief adviser Valerie Jarrett. And they don’t seem to have lost any of it.

Rule 5: Libraries

Posted on July 5, 2015 | 2 comments

hangininlibraries

Just one of the many reasons I have always enjoyed hanging out in libraries. And one of the major absences of the electronic version. Although it should be said that in the eWorld it isn’t necessary to wait for serendipity. This sort of thing is now just a click away.

Getting Independent of Historical Lies

Posted on July 4, 2015 | 4 comments

On this Independence Day, it’s time to get independent of the historical lies that have warped most of our minds. For instance, the continuing, celebratory historical narratives—despite a recent dulling of his shiny halo—that still enshrine FDR as the alleged greatest of American presidents. Yes, even before Lincoln.

Never mind our recent discovery that Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration was shot through with Soviet agents, making the New Deal a Communist front. Or that he singlehandedly prevented the late Nicholas Winton, savior of hundreds of Jewish children from the Holocaust, from saving thousands more.

Comes this latest reminder of FDR’s shame: 1936 Olympics track hero Jesse “Owens said, ‘Hitler didn’t snub me – it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.’ [Owens] was never invited to the White House nor were honors bestowed upon him by president Franklin D. Roosevelt…”

Of course not. Roosevelt’s Democrat party was the party of slavery and the post-slavery KKK which was still in business throughout the “New Deal”. Later the party of Bull Connor and the fire hoses turned on MLK’s 1950s marchers protesting segregation. Whatever his personal inclinations (and they don’t seem to have been very exemplary in any case) FDR made sure to tiptoe around racist and anti-Semitic sensibilities.

But you won’t read any of this in the latest elitest biographies whose authors contend that FDR was “one of America’s most beloved leaders.” Which is pure hooey.

The sort of lie which gave birth to cultural relativism which in turn enables the Obama administration’s current cossetting of radical Muslims bent on imposing oppressive sharia law on the rest of us. What goes around, you might say, comes around.

Mr. Boy is now a lifeguard

Posted on July 3, 2015 | 2 comments

Yep, after five days of instruction, test-taking, rescue-practicing and how-to-avoid lawsuits, he got his city license and badge of office: a blue, plastic whistle. It makes my ears vibrate when he blows it.

Now he awaits appointment (probably in a week) to a public pool where 15-year-olds can work. Next summer he’ll be old enough to apply to private pools.

More cajones than me. At his age I did not have the self-confidence or the strength to even think about being a lifeguard. Best I could do was delivering newspapers and taking out trash cans for aging widows.

McCaul is just another RINO

Posted on July 3, 2015 | 1 comment

Shoot, our very own District 10 Republican rep is trying to get the feds to create yet another expensive bureaucracy—more federal employees, more taxes, more regulations. Isn’t that a Democrat thing? It’s also a RINO thing.

“Now Rep. Michael McCaul wants to create a federal Office of Coordination for Countering Violent Extremism and house it at the Department of Homeland Security…the new bureau would be responsible for a range of activities, including ‘identifying risk factors that contribute to violent extremism in communities in the United States,’ [at] $10 million a year for the next five years, and a new post—the ‘assistant secretary for countering violent extremism’—would be created to run it.”

“Violent extremism,” by the way, is the Obama administrations preferred euphemism for the threat that dares not speak its name in his presence, i.e. the Muslim Jihad. And it’s so versatile. Whatever RINO McCaul’s intention is here, what do you want to bet this turns into an assault on gun owners, the Tea Party and any other group of conservatives the predominantly Democrat federal bureaucracy dislikes?

Thanks a bunch, Mike. We need to retire you ASAP.

Barry throws the Kurds under the bus

Posted on July 3, 2015 | Comments Off on Barry throws the Kurds under the bus

Our Little Barry Hussein is outdoing himself on the world stage. First LBH, aka Wormtongue, tells us he’s fighting ISIS with all his might. Then we learn he’s actually pulling our punches. Now, as they wait for his pal Erdogan’s Turkish army to attack, the Worm  is blocking shipments of heavy weapons to the Kurds.

If the Kurds would just pull back a little from their successful assaults on ISIS and, not incidentally, dump their few Christians (as well as the ones who have fled to them from ISIS) and become pure Muslim, well… That might do it for our mendacious Democrat president. He’s always willing to help good Muslims.
