MORE OBAMA OUT-SOURCING HYPOCRISY

AS PART OF HIS CAMPAIGN, OBAMA CONDEMNS OUTSOURCING AS UN-AMERICAN.

YET OBAMA'S BIG MONEY DEEP POCKET SUPPORTERS ARE OUT-SOURCERS - LIKE JEFF IMMELT OF GE, AND HE SAVED GM WITH TAXPAYER DESPITE HE FACT THAT 75% OF GM'S WORKERS WORK OVERSEAS.

THAT'S HYPOCRISY. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

AND SO IS OBAMA'S SUPPORT FOR AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS:


THAT AMOUNTS TO SUPPORTING OUT-SOURCING OF US JOBS TO FOREIGNERS WHO ARE HERE!

ALL THE WHOLE FREAKIN' OUT-SOURCING BROUHAHA REALLY AMOUNTS TO IS A HYPOCRITICAL ATTEMPT ON THE PART OF OBAMA TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE FACT THAT HIS POLICIES HAVE BEEN AN ABYSMAL FAILURE.

DON'T BE DUPED. VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.

OBAMA HAS APOLOGIZED TO OUR ENEMIES FOR AMERICA, BUT WON'T APOLOGIZE TO ROMNEY FOR HIS LIES ABOUT BAIN

OBAMA HAS APOLOGIZED TO OUR ENEMIES FOR AMERICA, BUT WON'T APOLOGIZE TO ROMNEY FOR HIS LIES ABOUT BAIN.

Mr. Obama told the French (the French!) that America "has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward Europe. In Prague, he said America has "a moral responsibility to act" on arms control because only the U.S. had "used a nuclear weapon." In London, he said that decisions about the world financial system were no longer made by "just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy" 

... And in Latin America, he said the U.S. had not "pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors" because we "failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas." 

... Mr. Obama was asked in Europe if he believes in American exceptionalism. He said he did -- in the same way that "the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks in Greek exceptionalism." That's another way of saying, "No."

BUT REGARDING THE SLANDEROUS LIES HE AND HIS AIDES HAVE TOLD ABOUT ROMNEY? HERE:

Obama said the questions raised in numerous media reports and highlighted by his own campaign aides were a legitimate part of the race for the White House. 

"Ultimately, I think, Mr. Romney is going to have to answer those questions because if he aspires to being president, one of the things you learn is you're ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operations," Obama said in an interview with WJLA-TV in Virginia.

REPEAT: "... responsible for the conduct of your operations," Obama said..."

QUESTION FOR OBAMA: HOW ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAST & FURIOUS AND SOLYNDRA?

WHAT A HYPOCRITICAL, LYING SACK OF LEFTIST SH*T.

OBAMA'S FALSE ATTACKS AGAINST ROMNEY AND HIS ANTI-AMERICAN APOLOGIES TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OBAMA.


UPDATE: OBAMA THE LYING HYPOCRITICAL SACK'O CRAP HAS TAKEN  LOT OF BAIN CAMPAIGN MONEY:

Bekenstein has been a managing director of Bain Capital since 1986. In 2008, he signed Barack Obama a $4,600 check. In 2004, he gave a $50,000 donation to the Democratic National Committee. That’s outsourcing money, plain and simple. And Obama was happy to take it. 

... Or how about Stephen Pagliuca? Last year, he cut a $35,800 check to Barack Obama’s Victory Fund. Then he cut another $30,800 check to the DNC. And another $30,800 check to the DCCC. Jonathan Lavine and Mark Nunnelly have both maxed out to Obama already, as well as to the DNC. Lavin was a bundler for Obama, and raised over $100,000 for him. Michael Krupka gave Obama $4,600 in 2008.

UPDATE:

If Romney really wanted a juicy example of outsourcing, he would have to look no further than the president's jobs council.
Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, 26 business leaders assembled by the president for job-spurring ideas, includes representatives of several companies that have used outsourcing, fueling job creation abroad and job losses in the U.S. Shipping work to low-cost overseas labor markets has been a trend in American manufacturing for decades.

... There’s General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt has served as chair of the advisory board since January 2011. Since Immelt took over GE in 2001, the company has lost 37,000 American jobs, and added 25,000 jobs overseas.

... Several other corporations represented on the jobs council also rely on outsourcing. Xerox, for example, has a business model that depends on providing its outsourcing services to other companies worldwide. In its most recent annual report, Xerox said it is the “largest worldwide diversified business process outsourcing company in the large and growing BPO market.”

American Express, one of the pioneers of outsourcing call centers to India in the 1980s, still depends on “outsourcing functions … [and] relocating certain functions to lower-cost overseas locations,” according to its most recent SEC filings.

Even jobs council representative Permac Industries, a 36-employee precision part manufacturer located in suburban Minneapolis, is finding its place in the global supply chain. The company offers “outsourcing management, a process where Permac teams up with other global suppliers -- inside the U.S. as well as offshore -- to get the job done,” the company’s website says.

OBAMA IS A HYPOCRITICAL LYING BAG OF SHINOLA.

Afghanistan suicide bomb 'kills top MP' at wedding 

Mr Samangani, a mujahideen commander in the 1990s civil war, became an MP in 2011 

A well-known Afghan politician and around 20 other people have been killed in a suicide attack in the northern province of Samangan, police say. 

Ahmad Khan Samangani, an ethnic Uzbek MP, was attending a wedding party for his daughter in the provincial capital, Aybak, when the blast happened. 

The attacker, posing as a guest, embraced Mr Samangani before detonating his explosives, a witness said.

EVIL SAVAGES.

• THEY ARGUE THAT LEAKING PLAME'S NAME WAS HIGH CRIME, BUT THAT LEAKING REAL NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS - LIKE NSA TECHNIQUES, THE SWIFT SURVEILLANCE, AND HOW WE GOT OSAMA -  ARE PART OF "THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW".

• THEY ARGUE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO PROTECT SOME ANIMAL SPECIES - LIKE THE SPOTTED OWL, BUT THAT ABORTION OF HUMAN BABIES IS FINE.

• THEY ARGUE THAT BUSH'S DEFICITS WERE TOO BIG AND BAD, BUT THEY ARGUE THAT OBAMA'S - WHICH ARE TWICE AS BIG - ARE GOOD, AND WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY WERE BIGGER. 

• THEY ARGUE THAT RAISING TAXES ON BUSINESSES WON'T RETARD BUSINESSES FROM INVESTING OR GROWING, BUT THAT RAISING TAXES ON CIGARETTES AND SUGARY DRINKS WILL RETARD THE CONSUMPTION OF CIGARETTES AND SUGARY DRINKS.

• THEY ARGUE THAT $26 BILLION  - IN JUST THREE YEARS - OF CORPORATE WELFARE  GIVEN TO GREEN COMPANIES WITH CONNECTIONS TO OBAMA THAT ALREADY WENT BUST IS GOOD, BUT $4 BILLION OVER NEARLY TWENTY YEARS TO "BIG OIL" IS BAD.

As Americans we have the right to demand that our soldiers do not function as blood bait on the fishing lines of the intelligence community when they encounter jihad videos which exploit our injured and deceased warriors. We must demand a policy that when such videos are located they must be immediately scrubbed. Our enemies must know that we will not tolerate digital image abuse of our ranks. There is a saying in Urdu: The monkeys have been given the razors. It is time we take the razors away from them.

Breitbart Buried the Lead Home - by BigFurHat

Breitbart Buried the Lead

Home - by BigFurHat - July 13, 2012 - 15:40 America/New_York - 3 Comments

I was heartened to see a Breitbart story that called out the anti-Israel group, Committee For Peace in Israel and Palestine, for producing a demonstrably false ad that is appearing on the walls and billboards of the NYC Metro System. But that emotion lasted only a moment, because Breitbart, as well as most of the leading trafficked right-leaning blogs and news sites, continues to miss the real story.

While NYC METRO gladly approves these false ads, they continually harass, harangue and block The American Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America from running any counter ads.

William Bigelow of Breitbart writes -

Although the Jewish community has protested the ads, the MTA will not remove them — even though they are factually inaccurate.

Don’t stop there Mr. Bigelow. Please tell the full story. This ad, and various iterations (after many tweaks and changes decreed by NYC METRO) was turned down for being inflammatory.

Here is the statement of Henry Clifford, talking about his own anti-Israel ad that was approved by NYC METRO -

“If the facts are inflammatory, then they are inflammatory.”

The story here is not that METRO ran an anti-Israel ad. It’s that the government is operating on an un-level playing field and picking and choosing ads based on, what appears to be, their own political leanings.

PLEASE REPOST THIS STORY ON YOUR OWN BLOGS AND THEN TWEET IT


More from the great American Oriana Fallaci - Pamela Geller:

ANOTHER ANTI-ISRAEL AD CAMPAIGN HITS NY TRAIN STATIONS, BUT NYC COURT FAILS TO RULE ON PRO-ISRAEL AD REJECTION

Another anti-Israel ad, demeaning to the Jewish state, demeaning to the Jewish people, is running in NY transit stations. This is second anti-Israel campaign to hit the NY transit system.

Back in 2011, AFDI/SIOA submitted pro-Israel ads to run on New York's subway platform to counter an anti-Israel ad campaign that was running in NYC's subway stations. They were summarily rejected. Our pro-Israel ad was the only ad ever rejected by the NYC Transit authority in the past 15 years.

We filed a lawsuit back in September of 2011. On April 3rd, we went to court to fight for our first amendment rights. Judge Paul Engelmayer still has not issued his ruling. But the anti-Israel ads go up without interference.

I have contacted CBS Outdoor to run our pro-Israel ads on Metro-North. I have not heard back as of yet.

Ad Campaign Showing Dwindling Palestinian Territory Deemed ‘Anti-Israel’ By Jewish Leaders

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A seemingly endless debate over politics, religion and territory is coming to a train station near you

An explosive ad about Israel is now igniting a firestorm of controversy.

The display shows shrinking Palestinian territory in Israel over the years and refers to 4.7 million Palestinians there as refugees.

The ads are appearing in 50 Metro-North stations.

At the train station in White Plains, the politically-charged ad was raising eyebrows.

“That’s quite amazing if you ask me,” one man told CBS 2′s Scott Rapoport.

Some Jewish leaders said they were concerned.

“I think the ad is very offensive, it’s certainly offensive to Jews,” said Dovid Efune, the the editor of the Jewish newspaper “The Algemeiner.”

Efune said the ad is anti-Semitic.

“It paints Jews as aggressors, as imperialists, as people that are stealing or taking land from others,” Efune said.

Henry Clifford, the chairman of a group called the Committee for Peace in Israel and Palestine, spent $25,000 of his own money on the ads.

“The Palestinian people have lost most of their homeland and the map shows exactly what is happened to them,” Clifford said.

When asked what he hopes to get out of the ad campaign, Clifford responded by saying he wants to “educate people.”

“Simply to open their eyes and let them see what has happened on the map,” he said.

The advertisements have caught the eye of commuters in White Plains as well.

“I thought it was all settled back in the 1970s with the 6 Day War,” one man responded.

“My reaction is why is there an anti-Israel ad sitting here at the train station?” asked Cliff Argintar, of Hoboken, N.J.

Efune is calling for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to take the ads down. However, the MTA said it doesn’t restrict ads on the basis of viewpoint and while it doesn’t endorse the ad, the posters will remain up.

Liars. Why did they reject our pro-Israel ads? Because it was demeaning to savages.

70TH MEMORIAL OF VEL D'HIVER

I think it's important to post about the 70th year to the day of Vel D'hiver (via Voz is Neias), when 13,000 Jews in France were sent to Auschwitz by the French police, which should serve as an important reminder how even in France, they weren't innocent. Here's another article on Ynet from 2010, focusing on survivor Madeline Testyler, some news on Ruth King's site.

WHO DEMOCRATS REALLY ARE AND WHAT MUST BE DONE ABOUT THEM

The Democrat Party is the party of factional payola: it is comprised of factions who are united to attain power and reap rewards such as loans, direct transfer of funds, contract set asides, special legislation for special treatment, pay increases, and patronage.


All of their ideology is meant to accomplish is attaining power and keeping their factions united.


They have NO principles. Redistribution really means taking from the enemy and giving to the factions in the party.

• They shift easily between saying that certain things in the Constitution and certain decisions are written in stone and others can be easily changed because the Constitution is a "living document". All that matters is that the result serves their party and its factions.

• This is why their "FEMINISTS" shift easily between defending Fluke from attacks to mercilessly attacking Palin with vile curses.

• This is why they can attack Bush's deficits and praise Obama's.

• This is why they hate small amounts of federal monies going to "Big Oil" - in the form of tax breaks - and LOVE the loans to BIG ALTERNATIVE ENERGY COMPANIES, which happen to be run by people in their party.

It's all about supporting things that help their factions and never about principles or values.


The postmodern left controls the Democrat Party and they are moral relativists who hate - not just America - but Western Civilization:


They falsely blame Western Civilization - or Judeo-Christian Civilization, if you prefer - for 

• sexual repression, 
• global climate change, 
• Third World poverty, 
• and most of history's genocide. 

ALL ARE DEMONSTRABLY FALSE.


But painting the West as the bogeyman - and America as the Bogeyman in Chief - allows them to attack anything and everything in their way: 

• the family; 
• traditional religion; 
• industry and industriousness; 
• and PERSONAL LIBERTY. 

They believe and live by what Gramsci argued: traditional cultural institutions interfere with the advent of the Left's control of the state.


And they need a strong state controlled by an elite in order to enact and maintain a state powerful enough to serve their factions, (and not the general welfare).


The Left has abused the general welfare clause by twisting it and getting it to mean the welfare of their factions. In truth, legislation that hurts one segment of society in order to help another does NOT improve the GENERAL welfare; it merely helps one faction while hurting another.


REPEAT: 


The Left has abused the general welfare clause by twisting it and getting it to mean the welfare of their factions. In truth, legislation that hurts one segment of society in order to help another does NOT improve the GENERAL welfare; it merely helps one faction while hurting another.


Redistributing earned property from earners to the left's factions requires a strong state controlled by an elite. A strong state that perverts outcomes so its factions are rewarded at the expense of productive earners is a state that disincentivizes productivity and inhibits prosperity. It promotes dependence and sloth.


That's why, if we really want to eliminate poverty and ignorance in the world, then we have to eliminate the postmodern left's statist assault on personal liberty. 


And that means eliminating the stranglehold the left has on media, and on education via faculties.


And by making our federal government what our Founders intended: small and limited.


Actually, limited government is the KEY:

If the federal government is small, then it cannot be made to serve the factional needs of the Democrat Party. 

ALL PROGRESS WILL FLOW MAKING GOVERNMENT SMALLER AND LESS INVASIVE AND LESS CONTROLLING. 


AND THIS WILL ALSO MAKE THE CAREER POLITICIANS AND THEIR CRONIES LESS ABLE TO MAKE CORRUPT DEALS - SO IT MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT MORE HONEST.


We can make the federal government smaller by electing more conservatives.


And then we need to eradicate PEU's [PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS] - which are, along with trial lawyers - the richest faction in the Democrat Machine, and who - along with trial lawyers - do the most to pervert our government and way of life.


Once we roll back the PEU's, then we need to enact sweeping tort reform, thus demolishing the other rich faction of the Democrats, the trial lawyers.


REPEAT:


1 - ROLLING BACK PEU POWER
2 - TORT REFORM


Key tactics must include tough Voter ID laws, expanding right-to-work laws, and expanding pension reforms - as Walker and Kasich have done.


These will enable us to get more electoral victories by eliminating voter fraud and reducing PEU electoral power, which is enormous as they have spent billions over the last decade to elect Democrats.

THE LEGACY/DURANTY MEDIA IS A LEFTIST PROPAGANDA MACHINE WORKING OVERTIME TO HELP OBAMA

... the media has no intention of abandoning Obama, even if the unemployment rate goes to 25% and 200 million Americans drop out of the labor market.   

The unwavering support of Western intellectuals like Jean-Paul Sartre for Stalin demonstrated that, for the left, no price is too high for the great dream of equality. 

Now, Obama's socialism is failing, and the liberal media are unwavering in their support.   

It simply doesn't matter that 88 million Americans are not working, that nearly 50 million Americans are collecting food stamps, or that, having stagnated for four years, the economy may be heading back into recession (as indicated by the June numbers on industrial production slipping below a neutral reading of 50). 

Members of the media are unwavering in their support for the same reason that western liberals have supported Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chávez, and every other communist (while they have attacked Churchill, Reagan, Thatcher, and every other great conservative).   

No matter what it costs, no matter how much poverty and unemployment and rationing of health care, the cause is worth it.  That, quite simply, is what is driving media coverage of the Obama presidency.

AS DURANTY WAS TO STALIN, THE LEGACY MEDIA IS TO OBAMA.

DON'T BE DUPED! VOTE FOR LIBERTY. VOTE ROMNEY!

RECORD COLD SNAP IN SOUTH AMERICA

FUNNY HOW THE LEGACY MEDIA HASN'T REPORTED THIS:

A recent cold snap turned deadly across parts of South America this weekend.  

The progression of an unusually cool upper-level system crossed through portions of Chile over the weekend, resulting in nighttime low temperatures nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) below normal.
Santiago, Chile's capital, fell to 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 Celsius) late Friday night and Saturday night at the peak of the cold snap. Two homeless residents of the city lost their lives when they succumbed to hypothermia. 

Officials across the country have opened up temporary shelters to keep the country's 12,550 homeless citizens off the chilly streets.

THERE'S ALSO BEEN RECORD COLD IN AUSTRALIA.

IOW:

ARGUING THAT THERE'S BEEN MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S VERY WARM IN ONE REGION IS TOTAL EFFIN BULLSHIT.

HMMM: WILL JORDAN BE THE NEXT DOMINO TO FALL TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD?

SEEMS LIKE THE MB HAS KING ABDULLAH IN THEIR SIGHTS: MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD BOYCOTTING JORDAN'S ELECTIONS:

Jordan’s powerful Muslim Brotherhood has said it will boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections in protest over recent changes in the kingdom’s election legislation. 

A boycott would be a blow to King Abdullah, who has made reforms the centrepiece of his campaign to stave off Arab Spring-like protests in Jordan. 

Brotherhood spokesman Jamil Abu-Bakr said that the movement – Jordan’s largest opposition group – may reverse its decision if the government “makes serious and real efforts toward reforms”. 

The elections are expected at the end of the year. The main dispute is over a new election law, which allows each voter two separate ballots – one for representatives from local districts in this traditionally tribal society, the other for one of 27 candidates on a national list. 

IF OBAMA IS REELECTED THEN KING ABDULLAH WILL GO THE WY OF MUBARAK.

YUMMMMMMM: LAKE TAHOE CRAYFISH!

... it was the first act of commercial fishing in Lake Tahoe since the overexploitation and extinction of the Lahontan cutthroat trout led the authorities to ban all but recreational fishing here in the 1930s. 

Last week, Nevada authorized the commercial trapping of crayfish after Mr. Jackson and a local scientist persuaded state authorities that it would be good business. And not only that, it would improve the famed, though vulnerable, water clarity of one of America’s greatest natural treasures. 

Introduced to Lake Tahoe more than a century ago, the crayfish population has swelled to 280 million, up from 200 million just six years ago. The crustacean lives, eats and excretes in the lake’s shallow waters, contributing to algae growth, which clouds the water. Reducing their numbers would help keep the lake blue. 

Commercial fishing’s resumption here seems to be riding a confluence of trends. Some environmentalists are exhorting people to combat the growing problem of harmful, invasive species by eating them. Crayfish harvesting is also in keeping with the more established locavore movement, which steers diners to locally grown food.

YUM.

NEW SCIENTIFIC STUDY: MASS EXTINCTIONS OCCURRED BEFORE CLIMATE CHANGE OCCURRED

New Danish study contradicts a popular theory of the mass extinctions that occurred in the transition between the geological periods, Triassic and Jurassic.

For 201 million years ago super-continent Pangea began to break up. Around this time, life on Earth suffered a severe crisis that wiped out countless species. On land, it was not so bad, although many plants hung with leaves, faded and withered away, writes Videnskab.dk.  

Carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere  

This disaster has so far been explained by the disruption of Pangea triggered a massive volcanism, which released both carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, ie. greenhouse gases that made the climate warmer and possibly led to metanis at the bottom of the oceans melted. Both processes may have released raw amounts of the greenhouse gas methane, which got global warming to escalate. Many scientists believe that animals and plants had no major problems with the eruptions and their direct emissions of carbon dioxide - the assumption has been that it was the greenhouse effect of methane emissions from the seabed, which took a stranglehold on their lives.  

New results  

The theory is weakened now, after a Danish research group at the research center GEUS has brought new convincing results to the market. 

In an article in the respected international scientific journal Geology proves GEUS-scientists that the Earth was hit by mass extinction some time before the presumed release of methane.  

"The great mass extinction occurs according to our studies between the two peaks in the atmospheric content of methane and carbon dioxide and not simultaneously with the peak number two as previously thought," points out Sofie Lindström to Videnskab.dk. As a senior scientist at Stratigraphic Section at GEUS, she is project manager for the study.

IOW: THE GEOLOGICAL RECORD CONTINUES TO PROVE THAT THREALARMISTS ARE WRONG AND THAT AGW IS TFBS.

CONDI RICE WOULD BE A BAD CHOICE FOR VICE PRESIDENT

According to Daniel Halper, the former secretary of state, the one who gave Israel a very hard time and is partly responsible for leading to the situation we now have in Gaza, is near the top of Mitt Romney's list of possible nominees for vice president. If she's chosen as his running mate, that would only be a galling pick, because most Israelis like myself find her an awful lot. I hope she's not the one he picks, but you never know what's going to happen.

Update: according to the updated info on this Hot Air post, a senoir Romney aide's said "no Condi". If not, that's fortunate.

LATEST TRUTHFUL DNC CHARLOTTE POSTERS

FARAGE COMPILATION: 14 minutes of sheer brilliance:

THE LATEST 10 BIG EFFIN LIES OBAMA IS SPREADING ABOUT ROMNEY

OF OBAMA COULDN'T LIE, THEN HE COULDN'T SPEAK.

HERE ARE TEN WHOPPERS.

SODOMY NOW PART OF THE ISLAMIST RITUAL OF JIHADIST TRAINING:

IF THIS DOESN'T CONVINCE YOU THAT ISLAMISM IS AN EVIL CREED, THEN NOTHING WILL:

HOMOSEXUAL ANAL INTERCOURSE NOW PART OF JIHADIST TRAINING:

Not only did the original "underwear bomber" Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri hide explosives in his rectum to assassinate Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Nayef—they met in 2009 after the 22-year-old holy warrior "feigned repentance for his jihadi views"—but al-Asiri apparently had fellow jihadis repeatedly sodomize him to "widen" his anus in order to accommodate the explosives— all in accordance with the fatwas [religious edicts] of Islamic clerics.

A 2010 Arabic news video that is making the rounds on the Internet gives the details. Apparently a cleric, one Abu al-Dema al-Qasab, informed jihadis of an "innovative and unprecedented way to execute martyrdom operations: place explosive capsules in your anus. However, to undertake this jihadi approach you must agree to be sodomized for a while to widen your anus so it can hold the explosives."

Others inquired further by asking for formal fatwas. Citing his desire for "martyrdom and the virgins of paradise," one jihadi, (possibly al-Asiri himself) asked another sheikh, "Is it permissible for me to let one of the jihadi brothers sodomize me to widen my anus if the intention is good?"

After praising Allah, the sheikh's fatwa began by declaring that sodomy is forbidden in Islam,

However, jihad comes first, for it is the pinnacle of Islam, and if the pinnacle of Islam can only be achieved through sodomy, then there is no wrong in it. For the overarching rule of [Islamic] jurisprudence asserts that "necessity makes permissible the prohibited." And if obligatory matters can only be achieved by performing the prohibited, then it becomes obligatory to perform the prohibited, and there is no greater duty than jihad. After he sodomizes you, you must ask Allah for forgiveness and praise him all the more. And know that Allah will reward the jihadis on the Day of Resurrection, according to their intentions—and your intention, Allah willing, is for the victory of Islam, and we ask that Allah accept it of you.

ROMNEY TO OBAMA: YOU'RE DISHONEST

BOSNIA DOESN'T ALLOW JEWS TO RUN FOR OFFICE

Anti-Jewish discrimination in an Islamic-run country on the European side:

The Representative of the Irish Chair-in-Office of the Organisation for Security in Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Minister for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton, has urged Bosnia to end practices of discrimination against its Roma and Jewish minorities, whose members cannot run for high elected office, AFP reported.

"There is no excuse to discriminate against anyone, especially minorities," Creighton said in a statement.

"This is especially important in a post-conflict society," she said in a reference to Bosnia's 1992-1995 war.

Which the Bosnians started, not the Serbs.

Bosnia's constitution makes a clear distinction between "constituent peoples," namely Bosniaks (Muslims), Croats and Serbs and "others," categorized as Jews, Roma and other minorities. [...]

In 2009, the European Court of Human Rights condemned Bosnia for barring Jews and Romas from running for high elected office. The Strasbourg-based tribunal ruled that the Balkan country was violating provisions of the convention prohibiting discrimination and upheld the right to free elections, AFP reported.

What do they expect though from a society that collaborated with the nazis during WW2?

ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER 4TH C MOSAIC OF SAMSON IN GALILEE

A monumental synagogue structure dating to the Late Roman and Byzantine periods (c. 4th-6th centuries CE) has been discovered during archaeological excavations at Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee. Huqoq is an ancient Jewish village located approximately two to three miles west of Capernaum and the second season of excavations has revealed portions of a stunning mosaic floor decorating the interior of the synagogue building. 

The mosaic is of the highest quality and includes a scene depicting Samson placing torches between the tails of foxes (Judges 15).His story, recounted in the Bible’s Book of Judges, mentions Delilah, a Philistine woman who worked to undermine Samson. She cut his hair after she persuaded Samson to reveal that his long hair was the secret to this strength. 

Jodi Magness, a professor of early Judaism in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said that the image is a reference to Samson exacting revenge on the Philistines by sending out flame-laden foxes to burn their crops. She said the only other images of Samson in synagogues are at one nearby place in Galilee known as Wadi Hamam, where Samson is seen “smiting” the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Another is in what is now modern Turkey, depicting scenes from Samson’s life.

EVERY TIME THEY STICK A SHOVEL IN THE HOLY LAND THEY FIND MORE PROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE.

OBAMA: OUTSOURCER IN CHIEF

MORE PROOF OBAMA IS A LYING PIECE OF CRAP.

COWARD MILOS FORMAN IS WRONG ABOUT OBAMA NOT BEING A SOCIALIST

BY MILOS FORMAN'S LOGIC, HOLLANDE IS NOT A SOCIALIST AND HIS POLICIES ARE NOT A DANGER TO FRANCE'S ECONOMY AND FRENCH LIBERTY.

NONSENSE.

RADOSH SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

BY THE WAY, FROM 1968 TO 1989, WHILE PLAYWRIGHT VACLAV HAVEL WAS COURAGEOUSLY FIGHTING TO LIBERATE HIS NATION FROM SOVIET SOCIALISM, FORMAN WAS AN EX-PAT LIVING IT UP IN NYC AND DOING NOTHING TO COUNTER SOVIET TOTALITARIANISM.

FORMAN IS A PIECE OF PHONY STINKY GREASY LEFTIST SHIT.

OBAMA AND FAILURE VERSUS ROMNEY AND SUCCESS

CHURCH OF ENGLAND BECOMING EVEN MORE ANTISEMITIC

The relationship between the Jewish community and the Church of England has taken a downward turn following its decision to strengthen ties with an anti- Israel group. The Jerusalem Post has learned that the Board of Deputies of British Jews has pulled out of meetings this week with Lambeth Palace, the official residence of the archbishop of Canterbury. 

A motion is also set to be raised at the board’s monthly meeting in which the deputies will call on the organization to sever all ties to the Church of England.  

At its General Synod in York on Monday, the Church’s highest legislative body voted overwhelmingly to strengthen ties with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), a group that supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel and stands accused of having an anti-Israel stance and harboring a “one-sided” narrative.

NOT SURPRISING: THE DHIMMI COE IS BARELY CHRISTIAN AT THIS POINT.

PEUGEOT-CITROEN CRATERING

HOLLANDE'S POLICIES ARE GONNA CAUSE MORE OF THIS:

French auto group PSA Peugeot Citroen said Thursday it would cut 8,000 jobs in its domestic operations as a sharp downturn in the European market led to a loss in the first quarter. PSA, France's biggest carmaker and second in Europe to Germany's Volkswagen, said it expected the European market to shrink 8.0 percent this year and had to adjust its business in the face of a worsening outlook.

LEFTISTS POLICIES ARE DOING TO THE EUROZONE WHAT THEY DID IN THE USSR, EAST GERANY, NORTH KOREA, ZIMBABWE AND CUBA.... WELL, EVERYWHERE THEY'VE EVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

FRANCE AND EUROPE NEED THATCHERS, INSTEAD THEY HAVE ATTLEES.

WILDERS AND FARAGE REPRESENT EUROPE'S BEST HOPE, BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT. AT THE RATE THEY'RE GOING - DUE TO DEFICITS AND DEBT AND MULTICULTURALISM, BY 2020 ALL OF EUROPE WILL BE AS CRAPTASTIC AS GREECE IS TODAY ANS ON THEIR WAY TO BECOMING LIKE LEBANON.

PITY.

LONDON OLYMPICS' SECURITY TO GET AN ADDITIONAL 3500 TROOPS, BRINGING TOTAL TO 17,000

Home Secretary Theresa May is to make an urgent statement in the Commons on Olympics security, after it emerged an extra 3,500 troops were needed. The defence secretary had been due to submit a written statement but Labour tabled an urgent question to the House. The troops are in addition to 13,500 already agreed, amid fears contractor G4S may not have enough trained staff.

THE PLEA IS URGENT BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS A TARGET OF NUMEROUS ISLAMO-TERROR ATTACKS.


I HAVE LESS CONFIDENCE IN LONDON'S COPS AND TROOPS THAN NYC'S AND FEAR THEY WONT STOP ALL THE PLANNED ATTACKS.

OBAMA: OUTSOURCER-IN-CHIEF

Pardon me if this video has already been posted here at TAB, but the information does bear repeating:

TWISTED LIBERAL LEGAL LOGIC: THE CONSTITUTION IS LIVING AND MALEABLE BUT OBAMACARE IS WRITTEN IN STONE

JUST SAYING.

LEFTISTS HAVE NO LEGAL PRINCIPLES: THE CONSTITUTION IS "LIVING" EXCEPT THE PARTS THEY LIKE. THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS SACROSANCT  - EXCEPT THE 2ND AMENDMENT.

AND THEY THINK OBAMACARE SHOULDN'T EVER BE UNDONE - AS IF THE 2010 ELECTION NEVER HAPPENED.

WE WILL SHOW THEM IN NOVEMBER!

ROMNEY'S POST NAACP INTERVIEW WITH CAVUTO

JEWISH WOMAN SAVED FROM CLUTCHES OF PA-BASED MUSLIM AFTER NEARLY 3 DECADES

Another very fortunate rescue of a woman who made the mistake of pairing with a Muslim cretin:

A dramatic rescue takes a Jewish woman and her two young children out of the clutches of a brutal Palestinian Authority Arab husband with whom she lived for 28 years.

The anti-missionary Yad L'Achim organization, which also works on behalf of Jewish women trapped in relationships with Arabs, revealed the extraordinary story, after “Dinah, the daughter of Leah,” was safely back among Jews.

Dinah was born in the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Lod 48 years ago but became estranged from her family during an emotional crisis, which led her to a relationship with an Arab man.

Since then, she was declared as missing, and her family did not know whether she was dead or alive. At one point, Israeli authorities mistakenly thought they had identified her in a morgue.

She lived with her husband in a Palestinian Authority Arab village in the area of Tulkarm, east of Netanya. She said her husband traumatized her and once tied her to a tree for 13 hours, without food or water The husband said he wanted “everyone to see what will happen to you" if she were to leave the house without permission.

Three weeks ago, ties were suddenly re-established with her family, which finally had a sign that Dinah was still alive. They contacted Yad L’Achim officials, who were given her telephone number and other personal information that enabled them to go into action to rescue her.

When they first got in touch with Dinah, she begged them, “Get me back to my homeland.”

With the help of Interior Minister Eli Yishai and the IDF, special permits were prepared for Dinah and her children to cross the checkpoint near Tulkarm after the rescue, which was carried out in strict secrecy.

And with that, we have another crucial lesson why it's dangerous to overlook the color of the character of diabolical horrors like the man she was lucky to escape.

Obama Family History - What's In a Name?

David Maraniss' book, Barack Obama: The Story, makes for very interesting reading.

Much of the family history of the Obama/Dunham family is pretty straight American stuff. This relative joined the Army and fought in WWII. That relative worked at a Country Club and aspired for his boy to make something better of himself. The philandering of a Great-Grandfather led to the suicide of a Great-Grandmother.

Specifically, that is, Obama's grandfather, Stanley Dunham, watched as his father's affairs lead to his mother's suicide, which led to Obama's grandfather's life being uprooted, after which he and his siblings lived in another home, in a strange city.

All family histories are a mixture of hopes and dreams and tragedy.

But, there are some interesting tidbits/foreshadowings along the way.

For instance, what does the name "Obama" mean?

In the Dholuo language, the tongue of the Luo tribe of that region, the name Obama derived from a word that meant "bent". It could also connote "curved spine", and that likely was the origin of the name of these Obamas.

Hmm. Bent. What do you know?

So Barack Obama's name means The Blessed Bent one. That sounds about right, doesn't it?

Another strange name in Obama's family history is the masculine nom de plume given to his mother; Stanley Ann Dunham.

Where did that come from? We know Obama's grandfather was named Stanley? Was it the case that Obama's Grandfather wanted a son so badly, that he felt compelled to adorn his daughter with his namesake social consequences be damned?

No, that is, apparently, not the case:

The naming of Stanley Ann had less to do with the dictates of a presumptuous father  than with the longing for sophistication of a starstruck mother.  

Since her teenage years as a moviegoer at the commodious Augusta Theater, Madelyn (Payne - Obama's grandmother) had devotedly followed the film career of Bette Davis, her favorite actress. A new picture starring Davis and Olivia de Havilland reached Kansas duriing the summer of 1942, while Madelyn was pregnant. In the movie, In This Our Life, Davis and de Havilland played the two Timberlake sisters, each with a man's name: Davis was Stanley and de Havilland was Roy.  

A woman named Stanley: "Madelyn thought that was the height of sophistication!" recalled her brother Charles Payne, and the notion of giviing her baby girl that name took hold. The coincidence that her husband was also Stanley only deepened the association.

And what was this oh, so sophisticated movie about?

Well, it turns out In This Our Life functions almost as an Allegory of the personal family tragedy of the Dunham family, and can also be viewed as a metaphor for the path of destruction Barack Obama has laid across the American landscape.

If Madelyn was drawn to the cosmopolitan essence of Bette Davis, she crtainly would not have wanted her daughter to mimic the traits of the character Davis played on-screen. Stanley Timberlake was an irredeemably horrid human being who stold her sister's husband, drove him to suicide, ruined the lives of the rest of her family, then killed a womn and her daughter in an automobile accident and lied about it, trying to place the blame on a black law student, the innocent son of the family maid, before meeting her own end in another crash.

Stanley Ann Dunham's mother, apparently, loved this movie so much that she named her daughter after it's anti-heroine. While that may seem shocking, I think it is not at all surprising. Madelyn Payne was a young woman in love with, and pregnant by, a man, Stanley Dunham, whose personal story was as tragic and twisted as the story in the movie.

In fact, In This Our Life seemed to be made of the psychological building blocks of Stanley's young life; the adulterous affair which led to suicide which led to the destruction of the emotional lives of the rest of the family.

That, sadly, is, almost exactly the life story of the father of Barack Obama's mother.

It is interesting to note, however, the irony that the character who Stanley Ann Dunham's mother apparently admired, blamed her crime on a "black law student", whereas several generations down the road now we are saddled with a black law student who blames everything on American History and the American Constitution.

And, as I remarked earlier, In This Our Life can be seen as a metaphor for what Obama is doing to America. His consorting with the enemy is driving the American Idea to the brink of self-immolation. And, the entire citizenry, in turn, finds itself roiling in anger and pain at the destruction being wrought upon our national family.

What goes around comes around, in a painfully bent and destructive way, I guess. In this, our life, America, I'm afraid we will may soon witness the malevolent revenge of the young black law student.
