hm...
absolutely no connection to any shocking Detroit story, I’m sure
Speaking on the House floor last night [10/26], Rep. Keith Ellison read a statement denouncing a group of conservative lawmakers who think an Islamic group may be sending spies into Congress.
...Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, has had a long relationship with CAIR, which called the allegations “racist.” ...
[“Muslim" is not a “race.” Radical Muslim is not a religion but a political philosophy.]
“These charges smack of an America 60 years ago where lists of ‘un-American’ agitators were identified,” Ellison said, reading from the statement. “We should be affirming the importance of diversity and tolerance for all interns and staff who serve in Congress without suspicion of being identified as ‘spies.’ “
“The idea that we should investigate Muslim interns as spies is a blow to the very principle of religious freedom that our Founding Fathers cherished so dearly,” he added. “If anything, we should be encouraging all Americans to engage in the U.S. political process, to take part in, and to contribute to, the great democratic experiment that is America."
They’re not being investigated “as spies.” They ought—as ought all people anywhere near gubbmint—to be investigated to learn whether or not they are spies, or otherwise connected to or loyal to any group or idea involving the overthrow of the US Constitution.
"Shocked. Shocked I tell you."
"Here’s your tablecloth, Ma’m”.
After a 2-year investigation, FBI agents descended on a Dearborn warehouse Wednesday hoping to capture the suspected head of an Islamic fundamentalist group. ...
[Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53], known to some as Christopher Thomas, died after firing on officers during the raid, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
..."We’re not any fake terrorists, we’re the real terrorists,” Abdullah once boasted to an undercover informant, according to the affidavit.
A fiery imam associated with the group was killed in a police shootout in Detroit on Wednesday. An FBI complaint indicates the three men at large are residents of Ontario.
They are identified as Mujahid Carswell, Mohammad Alsahi, and Yassir Ali Khan.
“I’m shocked to hear that these events occurred and I hope our law enforcement officers will get to the bottom of things,” said Dr. Muzammil Ahmed, 41, of Canton. “I’m always worried that the FBI can be overzealous in pursing terrorism-related cases, but by the same token, we have to ensure the safety of the population. ... The community is often skeptical, because a vast number of these conspiracy allegations end up being thrown out of court.”
..."Incidents like these, people need to be careful smearing religions and trying to imply that faith has to do with it."
[Imam , Luqman Ameen Abdullah] “America must fall," ... “We should be figuring out how to fight the Kuffar,” ...
“You see, we need to figure out how to be a bullet,” ...
We got to take out the U.S. government,” ... “The U.S. government is nothing but Kuffars."
The precise origins of the Ummahs are unclear. Its national leader is Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, a militant former civil rights activist also known as H. Rap Brown.
[yep, that one. also “minister of justice” for Huey Newton’s Black Panther Party]

Speeeeeciest BassTurds!
a step waaay too f’n far
[In] the new book, “Time to Eat the Dog?: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living.” The authors calculate that dog owning is much worse than SUV driving for the planet.
Yeah—come try to take my pit bulls from my GiantSUV™. And have ya seen how much horses buckfart around?
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, for example, has made no secret of his envy for China’s ability to Get Things Done. In 2005, he wrote: “I cannot help but feel a tinge of jealousy at China’s ability to be serious about its problems and actually do things that are tough and require taking things away from people.” And just last month, he lamented that the GOP’s refusal to bend to Democratic cap-and-trade proposals demonstrated that our system of “one-party democracy” is worse than China’s “one-party autocracy."
Shades of Bill Maher… It’s amazing how they just cannot restrain themselves to maintain the veneer of civility long enough to enslave US all. Kinda lets ya know how they’d behave if they accomplished their goals.
Meanwhile, an international bureaucracy pushes “global governance” to combat climate change, heedless of popular sentiment. America’s founders revolted to protest too much taxation and too little representation. The notion that America will sacrifice its sovereignty and treasure—and dogs!—to reduce warming by a fraction a century from now is absurd.
That from the LAT. Granted, it’s written by Jonah Goldberg. But the LAT published it. Good on ‘em.
oops
The SF Bay Way: Harbinger
the San Francisco Bay Bridge’s steel components have snapped... almost killed motorists just driving across the Bay Bridge. Pieces of the cantilever section fell during the late-afternoon commute hitting three vehicles on the upper deck. The section pieces that snapped are in the eastern side of Yerba Buena island which were recently retrofitted.
It’s no secret that components of the San Francisco Bay Bridge were outsourced to ZPMC, a large Chinese steel company. The question now is if any of the failed components were part and parcel of the outsourced package?
If the failed components were part of the outsourced bridge project, this incident would not a surprise. There were serious doubts about the structural integrity and welding of Bay Bridge components. Engineering and steel trade publications have written articles about the possible problems but for whatever reasons, the problems have been forgotten… till now.
[links in original]
A valid and important question. Yet why did he feel the need to include this?
The question of quality is not a question of race-baiting China. It is a question of the relentless pursuit of “free trade” over American jobs and industry.
WTF’nF does this have to do with raaaaace?!?!?

Power Politics as Executed by Dorks:
[10/7 - Tom Ammiano to Gobernator Ahnold at DCC dinner:]
“Kiss my gay ass!"
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano floats AB 1176 through both houses with little opposition. It would have helped the Port of San Francisco with some financing issues.
Ahnold vetoes it. And sends this letter.

And Here We Go...
freak out
President Obama declared the H1N1 flu outbreak a national emergency over the weekend, but experts in infectious disease and emergency medicine say the public should not be alarmed by the move. ...
According to White House documents, the proclamation will allow the government to grant waivers that will enable health care facilities to set up alternate care sites if needed, as well as to modify patient screening protocols and transfer procedures, among other actions that make up hospital disaster plans.
Keep watch for “national emergency” declarations.
[Yeah, NannyP— I’m serious]

*gaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh*
see above
“oooo - lookie at us! We look enlightened!” fapfapfap
...This golf-cart fiasco perfectly illustrates tax policy in the age of Obama, when politicians dole out credits and loopholes for everything from plug-in cars to fuel efficient appliances, home insulation and vitamins. Democrats then insist that to pay for these absurdities they have no choice but to raise tax rates on other things—like work and investment—that aren’t politically in vogue. If this keeps up, it’ll soon make more sense to retire and play golf than work for living.

An now a few words from the Most Powerful Woman in Da House:
Q: ...Will we see higher taxes in 2010?
NANCY PELOSI: Well, I-- well, there will be a time when we will hopefully lower taxes because of the comprehensive overview of our tax code. Over the-- even the corporate tax. And in-- budget that was passed re-- and in the recovery package, as well, we lowered taxes for the middle class. But as far as the other initiatives, the cap and-- the-- climate change and energy investments, as well as health care. They are designed to be job creators. Because they will lower the cost of energy. And lower the cost of health care to businesses.
erm, what?

Gotcher Post-Racial Administration Right Here
Doctor Atty Gen Demento
KINSTON, N.C. | Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party…
[the Justice Dept. said that] partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their “candidates of choice” - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.
The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters’ right to elect the candidates they want.
Aside from being frankly raaaaacist, that don’t even make sense.

Talk About Yer Ideological Stubbornness
persistent as a horsefly
More than a decade after Congress cut funding for firearms research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), another federal health agency has been spending millions of dollars to study such topics as whether teenagers who carry firearms run a different risk of getting shot compared with suffering other sorts of injuries. [cost: $642,561]
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also has been financing research to investigate whether having many liquor stores in a neighborhood puts people at greater risk of getting shot.
erm… duh. Why this would even need a $1 “study” is beyond me.
[Don Ralbovsky, NIH spokesman] “Gun related violence is a public health problem - it diverts considerable health care resources away from other problems and, therefore, is of interest to NIH, ...
“These particular grants do not address gun control; rather they deal with the surrounding web of circumstances involved in many violent crimes, especially how alcohol policy may reduce the public health burden from gun-related injury and death,"
Funny how “choosing to be a dumbass-gang-banger” is not a part of this study. Nor how there came to be so many unemployed, unmotivated youth hanging out on street corners [*cough*War on Poverty*cough*] Odd how “keeping MS-13 from swarming en mass across the border” wasn’t even mentioned. Nor studying how “gun-free” societies like England deal with street violence—or is a cricket-bat beating easier [cheaper] to treat?
No. These Progressives in their Infinite Wisdom™ are still trying to legislate utopia.
Ahh, yes—here’s the phrase:
"Whether the members of Congress like it or not, gun violence is a public health problem in America today.” [Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Washington-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence]

New Phrase of the Day
a constant learning experience
Listen up all you redneck, bitter clinging ignorant moronic ruralist Amerikkkanz! Here’s a new one on ya—albeit somewhat more erudite in tone.
"Today, common sense won out over ideological stubbornness as our nation’s law enforcement agency formally adopted a new and well-balanced policy on medical marijuana use...”
[Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) [on] the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) directive to agency lawyers not to prosecute individuals who use or prescribe medical marijuana in states that have legalized the drug for that purpose.]
I guess I’m just ideologically stubborn if I think we ought to follow—and enforce—the Laws of the land as they are written. I’m ideologically stubborn if I think that a work-around by fiat is not a particularly good way to go, instead of bringing the facts before The People and giving them the opportunity to change the Law if they believe it to be a bad Law.
The merits of this particular case are not what is occupying my focus, here [although the billboard on the freeway advertising “Doctors” who will give any dang fool a “prescription” for “Medical MJ” “Seniors 10% discount!” gives me a clue]. What worries me is the penchant—unquestioned by anyone—of this administration to simply create Change without playing by the rules.
What might they decide to ignore next? What other Law might they directive out of existence? And what can We The People do about it, anyway? Write your Congressman?!? Hell—they’ve been attenuated to the point where they’re ‘bout as useful as a milk bucket under a bull. And they seem not to even realize it. Or care.
Yet.... When some∅ne clings to his ideologically stubborn Maoist comrades, that’s somehow not A Bad Thing…
Funny Old World....
Maurice Strong - RIH*
Stand Up—Here Tehy Come Again
Gordon Brown has warned the UK faces a “catastrophe” of floods, droughts and killer heatwaves if world leaders fail to agree a deal on climate change. ...Negotiators have 50 days to save the world from global warming, he added.
So what happens in 50 days?!? Heat wave? Drought? Return of the Dinos?
[Christopher Lord Monckton, the 3rd Viscount of Monckton of Brenchley] “I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word ‘government’ actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, ‘climate debt’ - because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.”
Of course this “government” which is short hand for an international enforcement authority would not be actually elected by the people who would be required to live under its dictates. No doubt taxes would have to be raised in countries that would be compelled to pay environmental reparations to the Third World. The enforcement authority or “government” would also have the power to regulate energy policy in the countries that sign the treaty.
Oh. That deadline.
Still, if any kind of treaty arrives at the United States Senate with the kind of provisions that Lord Monckton warns of, it is inconceivable that the Senate would be disposed to ratify it. President Obama may decide to try to enforce the treaty anyway, perhaps passing a statute that would require only a simple majority rather than two thirds required to ratify a treaty. That kind of maneuver would contravene the Constitution, but then what is an old document drawn up by 18th Century white men have to do with the imperative to remake the world in the 21st Century?
*Rot In Hell
"Divisive" -vs- Decadent
a chink in their armor
bad words = outrage
bad ideas which lead to horrifying deeds = meh
[Mark Steyn:] ... What’s the big deal? If you say, “Chairman Mao? Wasn’t he the wacko who offed 70 million Chinks?”, you’ll be hounded from public life for saying the word “Chinks.” But, if you commend the murderer of those 70 million as a role model in almost any school room in the country from kindergarten to the Ivy League, it’s so entirely routine that only a crazy like Glenn Beck would be boorish enough to point it out.
srsly. rtwt
ToDaZeD *eye roll*
weak
[White House communications director Anita Dunn] “The Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater from something I read in the late 1980s, so I hope I don’t get my progressive friends mad at me,"
You got a citation for that? oh… sorry. Forgot that’s so Old Skool.
"The use of the phrase ‘favorite political philosophers’ was intended as irony, but clearly the effort fell flat—at least with a certain Fox commentator whose sense of irony may be missing."
Or maybe that word does not mean what you think it means.
*yeesh*
