Whatever happened to Officer Friendly?

Huffpo journalist Radley Balko, author of the new book The Warrior Cop, explains:

“Today, police departments—or some of their key enforcement operations—appear to be on a war footing. Many [including the Austin police] dress in commando black, instead of the traditional blue. They own military-grade weapons, armored personnel carriers, helicopters and Humvees. Their training is military. Their approach is military. They are in a war against crime and violence and terror that they argue never ends.”

And we citizens increasingly are afraid of them. With very good reason.

UPDATE:  The Barney Fifes have taken over law enforcement and have a lot less respect than Sheriff Andy Taylor did.

Are Wendy and Kermit buds?

Fort Worth state senator Wendy Davis is the new champion of the Democrat news media for her filibuster-defeat of a bill that would require women in Texas to get abortions before the fetus/baby is five months old. That’s a problem?

Her effort to preserve the law allowing abortions up to seven months (when fetus/babies now could be helped to survive and mature) puts her in the company of Philadelphia, Pa., abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of three late-term fetus/babies.

Journalist Kirsten Powers in the old Newsweak’s online Daily Beast properly denounces Davis as does the WSJ’s James Taranto.  The bill, which is expected to be reintroduced and passed in next week’s continuation of the special session called by Gov. Rick Perry, also requires abortion clinics to meet surgical standards above what Gosnell’s ghetto clinic offered.

Davis, fully supported by President Wormtongue,  is opposed to the new standards as well. It’s the Democrat “war on women” baloney, you see. Women have to be allowed to murder viable infants in order to feel free, it seems, and abortionists, unlike other doctors, are sacrosanct.

UPDATE:  There actually is a War on Boys, but the Democrat news media ignores it.

Abolish the IRS, part 2

What with all the taking of the Fifth by IRS officials in testimony before Congress, including two who had to be subpoenaed because they wouldn’t appear voluntarily, Ed Morrissey wants to clean house.

“…the IRS, which has demonstrated that it cannot provide accountability for the great power it wields now, let alone the power it will wield as Obamacare comes into force [or, more likely, farce]….is too large, too intrusive, too costly, and too insular – which means that it’s a microcosm of all the problems we have long predicted about big government.”

He wants to scale it back, thereby limiting its potential for political abuse. But it would still remain almost 90 percent Democrat. And the alphabet snooze media and big newspapers would still cover for it a hundred percent of the time.

Which are the main two reasons why I’m with Ted Cruz in wanting the IRS to be abolished.

Can’t argue with that

“In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised – and it should be.”

UPDATE:  The anti-Morsi Egyptians certainly agree. Their signs are anti-Obama not anti-American. “Obama Supports Terrorism,” reads one. “Obama, your bitch is our dictator,” reads another, possibly referring to his appointed ambssador or Lady Macbeth. Or maybe Morsi himself. All of them work for me. Especially the generic: “Obama, you idiot…” ones.

Those Death Valley temps could be phony

…because the site of the official thermometer is not in accordance with NOAA’s own guidelines.

The guidelines state that such “temperature instruments should be 5 1/2 feet above a grassy surface 100 feet or more from a heat source and away from structures that can affect ventilation.”

Instead, in the federal agency’s own official photograph of the Death Valley thermometer, it appears to be sited on concrete (it obviously is not grass) and within a few feet of a building.

“And yet still the hype is turning into tripe about the 134 at Death Valley…The instrument can be accurate, but if the site is not maintained or the environment changes around it, its more than likely to read warmer!”

Of course it plays in really nicely with the federal hue and cry about global warming, i.e. climate change, i.e. we have to regulate CO2 (read, choke the economy by raising the price of electricity) to save the planet, etc. Which even some climate “scientists” ignore.

Zimmerman will walk, though a lot poorer

I don’t entirely agree with Bernie that the Zimmerman case shows that blacks are more racist than whites. More likely the blacks who are so inclined know they can show their bigotry without consequences whereas white bigots know better by now.

I prefer the analysis that the criminal case against George Zimmerman was a political setup from the get-go to increase black outrage and therefore their turnout in the 2012 presidential. It’s why Wormtongue did what few president have ever done, inserted himself into the case with his blather about Trayvon.

The prosecution’s case is so weak, it’s obvious Z. will be acquitted (albeit much poorer from all the legal fees he now owes) and then the usual black (and white) bigots can scream and yell and jump up and down on CNN and the other alphabets and the NYTimes and WaPo can wax indignant. So what else is new?

And if the black lower class decides to riot, they’ll do it in their own blighted neighborhoods, as they always do, because they don’t have the guts to take on white people who tend to be, ahem, armed to the teeth. Only the white (mostly Asian and Jewish) folks who have businesses in the ghetto will be harmed and some of them have licenses to carry and will fight back.

None of which seems to bother Wormtongue in the least. Cretin.

UPDATE:  Only one “swirlbaby” gets a pass from the snooze media which keeps referring to Wormtongue as African-American, though he is half white. Zimmerman has the opposite problem. They pin him to the white board, ignoring his half Hispanic background (and a black grandmother). Ain’t convenient for their racist narrative, you see. Got to keep the all blacks outraged or they might stray from the Democrat plantation.

The president is a “swirlbaby”

He’d know what that means even if you don’t. And if you’re not black you’d better not get caught saying it out loud, unless you want the race police to come after you.
