Mayor Gloomberg hosted slumlord Daisy the Khan and thug “developer” Sharif El-Gamal (with a rap sheet a mile long) at a Ramadan dinner. What is little known is that Hamas-linked, Muslim Brotherhood front, un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR’s New York chief, Zead Ramadan, was there......

Pretty much everyone offended by Vanity Fair hit piece on Palin
So here’s where we’re at…

I’m not gonna comment—other than to say I think this is an important topic due serious consideration.  I want to hear what Teh Porch has to say.

See what comes of geeks messing about? 

[Arizona Sheriff Larry] Dever is sheriff of Cochise County, which lies along the Mexican border. [H]e’s not happy that the U.S. State Department recently reported Arizona to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Not happy at all.

“Well, it’s just amazing to me,” Dever said. “Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house here and reaches out and tries to bite me every now and then.” [more incl. audio]

Warning:  NSFSane Beings

For centuries, Afghan men have taken boys, roughly 9 to 15 years old, as lovers. Some research suggests that half the Pashtun tribal members in Kandahar and other southern towns are bacha baz, the term for an older man with a boy lover. Literally it means “boy player.” The men like to boast about it.

...Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from perverse interpretation of Islamic law. Women are simply unapproachable. Afghan men cannot talk to an unrelated woman until after proposing marriage. Before then, they can’t even look at a woman, except perhaps her feet. Otherwise she is covered, head to ankle.

“How can you fall in love if you can’t see her face,” 29-year-old Mohammed Daud told reporters. “We can see the boys, so we can tell which are beautiful.”

Members of a international biker group pray near the eternal fire in the former village of Khatyn, some 50 km (31 miles) northeast of Minsk, Belarus, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010, where Nazi troops killed 149 villagers, most of them children and women, and burned down their houses during WW II. The group of ethnic poles from Poland, Canada, Great Britain, Australia make their 3-weeks “Katyn ride” through Lithuania, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine to commemorate the deceased victims of communist and fascist regimes.

The demon blimp was finally taken down a few notches this evening…

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and Republican challenger Carly Fiorina engaged in a sharp exchange Wednesday over who is best suited to guide the country out of recession, with the challenger blaming Boxer for policies “that are devastating the state.”

The recession and how to turn around California’s jobless rate, stuck above 12 percent for months, dominated their first debate, an hour-long event at St. Mary’s College in the eastern San Francisco Bay area city of Moraga.

As most of you know, I’ve been none too supportive of Fiorina but her performance tonight has definitely won me over. I can certainly now understand why Sarah and Condi have agreed to endorse her.

She’s quite the little fireball.

He studied hard in school. He obeyed the law. He raised a family. He took care of his family. He was an excellent student. He was on the Harvard Law Review. He did everything. He went through the democratic process. He didn’t go out and make a lot of money on Wall Street. He gave himself to his community. This guy is almost pluperfect and they don’t like him…

Since Chiner is one of the countries evaluating US law via the UN Commission on Human Rights, ZZMike thought we oughta know a little about how things “works” there.

Hukou is basically a resident permit given by the government of China. It is issued on family basis. Every family have a Hukou booklet that records information about the family members, including name, birth date, relationship with each other, marriage status (and with whom if married), address and your employer…

Everyone has a Hukou in China.

Before 1980, the hukou restricted travel so much that tourism by Chinese within China was impossible.  You couldn’t buy food outside your “home district.” Since, things have relaxed somewhat.  Still, without a hukou stating that they are a resident of that particular area, the only work available is manual labor.  No schools, no FREE state medical care. . . 

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

Another effort in California to ban plastic bags failed in the Legislature late Tuesday night.

“Well at least they extended our unemployment benefits...”

These are the quotations the president chose for his rug

* “The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt
* “The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But It Bends Towards Justice” – Martin Luther King Jr.
* “Government of the People, By the People, For the People” – President Abraham Lincoln
* “No Problem of Human Destiny Is Beyond Human Beings” – President John F. Kennedy
* “The Welfare of Each of Us Is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us” – President Theodore Roosevelt

Martin Luther King did say what the White House attributes to him, but it wasn’t original to King, and King never claimed it was.  King quoted 19th-century Unitarian minister Theodore Parker, who wrote it in 1853.  As I noted in June 2009, Reverend Matt Tittle tried to inform the Obama campaign in April 2008 that they had misattributed the quote, but they never acknowledged his queries.

It’s one thing to misattribute a quote in a speech, and a little worse to ignore people who attempt to correct the mistake.  It’s another thing entirely to have the misattribution written into the carpet of the Oval Office, and to have the White House continue to issue misinformation and shortchange the original author of the phrase…

unclear.  oh so verrry unclear

Oh so verrry EU.

The Obama administration however has submitted a report to the UN Commissioner on Human Rights, South African judge Navanethem Pillay, which makes direct reference to a popular Arizona immigration law aimed at tackling illegal immigration… [The report] will go before the UN Human Rights Council ... [which includes] China, Cuba, Libya, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, [who] will have a right to pass judgment over the Arizona immigration law…

The State Department has just announced that it will stand by its decision to include Arizona in its UN submission, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton strongly in favour of it.

Now lemme see… If I recall correctly, it’s a tad difficult to get in to Cuba; though it’s more difficult to get out, I hear.  Traveling to China requires their permission to cross their borders.  Travel in Teh Sandbox of Saud requires a search for contraband like *eek*eek* Bibles, rosaries and other [again, *eek*eek*] Christian objects.  Plus a tablecloth tossed over the head. 

But one thing they have in common is that they defend their borders and soverignty.  Which is the goal and point of the AZ Law.

They have other things in common.  Not all, but many members would dearly enjoy seeing the USofA have no borders, making it all the easier to loot and pillage.

Are we done yet??

ED SCHULTZ ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GLENN BECK GATHERED MORE THAN 300,000 PEOPLE!

Racist.

Close the book.

You gotta love how the progressive liberal elite cluck their tongues in denigrating wonderment at the rise of tea parties while paying twenty dollars for the chance to swill a fifteen dollar cocktail and watch this performing freak show.

And they call us ignorant cranks.

What a world.

As I have said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hope for Iraq’s future.

Sarah Palin, Kingmaker…

Murkowski Concedes Alaska Primary Race to Tea Party Candidate

In a major upset, Sen. Lisa Murkowski has conceded her GOP Senate primary race to Tea Party Express favorite Joe Miller, who had the backing of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

I hate when that happens....

Don’t you hate it when you brush your teeth right before dashing out the door and don’t notice until later that you dribbled toothpaste down the front of your shirt?
