Obama Admin Issues Form Letter on Coptic Christian Massacre
It’s no secret the Obama administration has been on a
jihad of their own when it comes to Christians in the United States. People of faith have been put on notice. If you own a business leave your Christianity
at home, or close your doors.
The Obama administrations contempt extends to Coptic
Christians who were slaughtered by ISIS simply because of their religion. They can’t accurately acknowledge the real
reasons for this evil that is going on in North Africa and the Middle-East. Here is their pathetic response. It might as well have been a form letter.
Statement by the Press Secretary on the Murder
of Egyptian Citizens
The United States condemns the despicable and
cowardly murder of twenty-one Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated
terrorists. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our
support to the Egyptian government and people as they grieve for their fellow
citizens. ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds. It is unconstrained by faith, sect,
or ethnicity. This wanton killing of innocents is just the most recent of the
many vicious acts perpetrated by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against the people
of the region, including the murders of dozens of Egyptian soldiers in the
Sinai, which only further galvanizes the international community to unite
against ISIL.
This heinous act once again underscores the
urgent need for a political resolution to the conflict in Libya, the
continuation of which only benefits terrorist groups, including ISIL. We call
on all Libyans to strongly reject this and all acts of terrorism and to unite
in the face of this shared and growing threat. We continue to strongly support
the efforts of the United Nations Special Representative of the
Secretary-General Bernardino Leon to facilitate formation of a national unity
government and help foster a political solution in Libya.
This administration reeks of weakness.

European Leaders in Full Blown Anti-Semitism Denial
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called for
European Jews to come home after numerous attacks and murders committed by
Middle-Eastern immigrants whose anti-Semitism is part of their “religion.” And as you can expect, European leaders
deny Jews are in danger. The Guardian reported
the following:
The
French president, François Hollande, insisted on Monday that he would not allow
people to believe that “Jews no longer have a place in Europe” . “Jews have
their place in Europe and, in particular, in France,” he
said.
The
German chancellor, Angela Merkel, said her government would do everything
possible to make sure Jewish sites were secure. “We are glad and thankful that
there is Jewish life in Germany again,” Merkel said in Berlin. “And we would
like to continue living well together with the Jews who are in Germany today.”
Denmark’s
chief rabbi, Jair Melchior, said he was disappointed by Netanyahu’s remarks. He
said on Sunday: “Terror is not a reason to move to Israel.
“People
from Denmark move to Israel because they love Israel, because of Zionism but
not because of terrorism. If the way we deal with terror is to run somewhere
else, we should all run to a deserted island.”
His
comments were echoed on Monday by Denmark’s ambassador to Israel, Jesper Vahr.
“The Danish Jews’ solution is not to leave the country and, as our prime
minister said, the attack on the Jewish community in Copenhagen is an attack on
all the citizens of Denmark.
“I
don’t think the solution is to leave. We consider the Jewish community to be an
integral part of Danish society, and we will do everything so that it feels
safe. This is an attack on all the citizens of Denmark.
These
people are in denial. A Jew can’t even walk
a Parisian street without being harassed.
Zvika Klein demonstrated that in his video: 10 hours of walking in Paris as a Jew.
Here is an excerpt from the Blaze on his harrowing
experience:
Klein and his crew
later walked through “mostly Muslim neighborhoods” and the presence of a “Jew”
was reportedly met with stunning anti-Semitism.
At one point, Klein claims a little boy
saw them and asked his mother, “What is he doing here, Mommy? Doesn’t he know
he will be killed?”
Concluding his account of the
experiment, Klein wrote: “Is
this what life is like for Paris’ Jews? Is this what a Jew goes through, day in
and day out, while walking to work or using public transportation? The majority
of French Jews do not flaunt their religion, as the Jewish community leaders
have urged them to wear hats as they walk to and from work, or go bareheaded.
But what about nighttime? Well, Jews prefers to stay inside in the evening. It
is safer at home.”

Liberal Bigots Equate N.C. Voter ID to Post Civil War Occupation
Leave it to the Charlotte Observer to publish
hyperbolic hogwash and a bastardization of history by agents of
progressivism. This Sunday’s funnies
weren’t in the cartoon section where it should have been; instead, it was in the
opinion pages.
Christopher Gergen and Stephen Martin inked out an
op-ed entitled, “The Civil War and N.C. 2015,” warning North Carolinians of the
precarious position minorities are in when Conservatives hold the reins of
power. They equated today’s voter ID
laws to blacks being terrorized by the KKK during Reconstruction. They went so far as to quote the “independent”
U.S. Government Accountability Office that found blacks are the one minority
group most impacted.
Does anyone still believe federal government
agencies are disinterested and independent?
I laughed out loud when I read that.
As a matter of fact, liberal hysteria over disenfranchisement of black
voters was proven just that: hysteria. Tennessee
implemented this common sense law before the 2012 elections. The Heritage Foundation reported:
Black and Hispanic Turnout
In 2008, according to
the Census Bureau, 60.8 percent of the black VAP voted in the general election,
and 31.6 percent of the Hispanic VAP voted nationwide. In Tennessee, African
American VAP turnout was 58.1 percent, and Hispanic VAP turnout was 19.2
percent.[14] Since
white VAP turnout was only 53.7 percent, blacks voted at a higher rate than whites
by slightly more than 4 percentage points.
In 2012, the national
voter turnout of the African American VAP increased to 62 percent. Hispanic VAP
turnout jumped modestly to 31.8 percent. Just as in 2008, African American
voter turnout in Tennessee (57.4 percent) was below the national turnout rate.
However, this result was a mere 0.7 percentage point decrease from 2008 and
fell within the margin of error for the Census survey, so essentially there was
no difference. Black Tennesseans still outvoted whites by 4 percentage points
in 2012, since the white voting rate was only 53.4 percent.
Thus, even with a new
photo ID requirement in place for the first time, blacks still voted at a higher rate than whites. Hispanic VAP turnout in
Tennessee saw a huge increase in turnout in 2012, with 34.7 percent showing up
to vote, nearly doubling turnout from 2008.
These two “concerned" writers were also
dishonest on another sad chapter in North Carolina history. Here is an excerpt from their op-ed:
They should study North Carolina’s Reconstruction
era following the Civil War. With the KKK terrorizing blacks and their
supporters in the late 1860’s, N.C. Governor William Woods Holden sent state
troops into Alamance and Caswell counties to restore order. Conservatives later got their revenge by
impeaching Holden for illegally declaring martial law – making him the first
governor in the U.S. to be impeached and removed from office.
Yes, Governor Holden was impeached for illegally
declaring martial law. He was also impeached
for terrorizing disenfranchised North Carolinians. Mind you, Holden was initially appointed by
President Andrew Johnson as an occupational, provincial governor.
Holden’s political
enemies brought forth eight charges. Two charges were that Holden acted
illegally by sending troops into Alamance and Caldwell counties when each
county’s government remained in control. Accusers also charged
Holden with two counts of illegally arresting two men (Josiah Turner and John
Kerr). According to the prosecution, Holden also twice suspended
the writ of habeas corpus when arresting the men. Two other charges were
that Holden refused to follow state laws when raising troops and acted
illegally when paying troops. In essence, according to historian William S.
Powell, Conservatives, under the leadership of Frederick N. Strudwick, charged
Holden with “declaring martial law; unlawfully raising troops; illegally
declaring counties to be in a state of insurrection; illegally arresting . . .
citizens; . . . seizing, detaining, imprisoning, and depriving those citizens
of their liberty and privileges as freemen; and . . . refusing to obey a writ
of habeas corpus.
Liberals would have us believe there is a white
sheet and hood in every conservative closet.
Those ghosts simply don’t exist, and if they do, they’re an
insignificant minority. However, I’ve
yet to run into a liberal who wasn’t a bigot.

Social Welfare Spending by State
How much does your state
spend on social welfare as percentage of its annual budget? The Washington Examiner published the
following:
Nationwide, state governments collectively
spend $2 trillion, with $520 billion of that going toward welfare programs, or
just under 26 percent. Education is the highest category of state government
spending, with 30 percent of state government spending nationwide
Every state that spends less than one-fifth of
its budget on welfare is west of the Mississippi River. Besides that,
geographic regions have a wide variance in welfare spending as a portion of
state budgets. New York spends 32 percent of its budget on welfare, while
neighboring New Jersey spends 22 percent. Florida spends 28 percent of its
budget on welfare, while nearby South Carolina spends 21 percent.

Theoretical Physicist Questions Light-Eating Black Holes
The science is settled! How many times have we heard that from
consensus grafters? Global warmers refuse
to provide their data, and when they do, their assertions have been refuted. Their whole premise is based on computer models
that have never been right. These same scientists
have stooped so low as to fabricate real temperature data to manipulate world
opinion.
Consensus is not science. The global warming debate will continue as
long as honest brokers aren’t censored.
Even well established theories, like black holes, are disputed to this
day. The News and Observer reported:
CHAPEL HILL — A theoretical physicist at UNC
believes she has found a rather large hole in the popular scientific conception
of the universe.
The university’s press office states flatly
that Dr. Laura Mersini-Houghton has shown that “black holes do not exist,” and
that, as a result, scientists are going to have to “reimagine the fabric of
space-time, but also rethink the origins of the universe.”
Those cosmic claims may be slightly
hyperbolic, but Mersini-Houghton herself believes that her paper published last
week will disrupt our entire understanding of the light-eating, infinitely
dense objects that supposedly haunt the universe. She says black holes likely
can’t exist in the way they’ve been previously conceived.
Her conclusion, in short, is that collapsing
stars should slow their self destruction before they truly become bottomless
gravity well.
If physicist can still debate
the existence of black holes without recriminations can’t climatologist?

The Big Bang Theory: Why Aren't There Mini-Bangs
When Edgar Allan Poe wrote “Eureka” in 1848 he
declared to a friend his thoughts on the origins of the universe would, “revolutionize
the world of Physical & Metaphysical Science.”
Indeed, Poe’s writings would become the first
postulations of what is now called the Big Bang Theory. The poet imaged a single “primordial particle”
created the universe in “one instantaneous flash.”
''From the one
particle, as a center,'' he wrote, ''let us suppose to be irradiated
spherically -- in all directions -- to immeasurable but still to definite
distances in the previously vacant space -- a certain inexpressibly great yet
limited number of unimaginably yet not infinitely minute atoms.''
The math didn’t catch
up to Poe’s hypothesis until the 20th century. The Big Bang Theory didn’t become mainstream
until the 1960’s. Even Einstein shrugged
it off until Hubble’s hard data leant credence to an expanding universe.
I have a question. Is the Big Bang supposed to be a singular
incident? If a universe can be created
by a single, primordial particle why aren’t there more Big Bangs when we have
innumerable particles? Why aren’t we harried
by multiple mini-Bangs in our everyday lives?
In other words, why am I not blown out of my chair right now by a mini-Bang? Shouldn’t the night sky be illuminated by thousands of mini-bangs? Shouldn’t the very
existence of Earth; nay, our universe be endangered by another expanding
universe? Are we on a cosmic collision
course?
I’m not a physicist,
nor a scientist by any means. My eyes
glaze over long mathematical equations.
I’m sure there’s a Godless genius out there who can come up with the
math to assuage my concerns.

Progressives in Panic Over "Envy Economics" Brand
Progressive can dish it out, but they sure can’t
take it. Their whole political strategy
is name calling and branding the opposition.
Success is dependent on dividing groups against each other. Their economic policies are based on envy and
greed.
So, when a congenial republican
accurately defined progressive policies, they panicked. E.J Dionne Jr., an op-ed writer for the Washington Post, had
to immediately try and stomp it out. Here
is an excerpt:
Rep. Paul Ryan
(R-Wis.) values his reputation as a serious policy analyst and a genial soul.
But he’s not above name-calling, and he insists that President Obama’s budget
is the product of “envy economics.”
Ryan’s label invites a comparable description of his own approach, which would
slash taxes on the rich while cutting programs for the poor and many
middle-income Americans. If Ryan wants to play the branding game, is it unfair
to ask him why “greed economics” isn’t an appropriate tag for his own approach?
According to E.J. Dionne, anyone who dares to
criticize the federal government and wants to keep more of what they earned is
a greedy son of a bitch. To him and
other progressives, only big government looks out for the poor and middle class.
In their jaded view of America, philanthropy doesn’t exist. Charity is a myth. Community is a 19th century relic. And churches are nothing more than theater for
stupid, superstitious peasants who get preyed upon by greedy pedophiles.
Progressives should be in a panic. Envy economics is an accurate portrayal of
their policies. Contempt for their
fellow man is another,

Envy Economics and the Introduction of Income Inequality
Progressives
are always looking for ways to divide the American people. The objective is to play one group against
another in an attempt to gain and exercise power over all of us. The latest con to come down the pike is “Income
Inequality.”
Carolina
Journal Radio interviewed James Piereson, president of the William E. Simon
Foundation, on economic growth and the introduction of envy economics. Here is an excerpt:
Piereson: Well, the Piketty book is a very serious work.
I’ve written about it and spoken about it. It focuses exclusively on the
distribution of income and wealth in our free-market societies, and it places
great emphasis on the growing inequality which they detect.
It’s a very much one-sided interpretation of our free-enterprise system. It has many dimensions that go beyond the distribution of income — innovation, quality of life, progress, freedom. All sorts of dimensions that have to be taken into account, and he only looks at one of them.
As I’ve said, this focus on inequality is a new issue. Traditionally, when we’ve spoken about inequality, we’ve talked about elevating the poor into the ranks of the middle classes. All of our government programs in the ’60s and ’70s, and even before that, were focused on elevating the poor.
This comes at the problem from the reverse angle. That is, the wealthy, the very rich, and trying to find ways to redistribute their wealth and income back down through the rest of the 99 percent.
As I say, I think that is a fool’s errand. We can’t improve the living standards of 99 percent of our people by trying to take income and wealth from the 1 percent who are successful. And as I say, that obscures the real problem that we’re facing in America and other societies across the West, which I think is not inequality but something else.
Kokai: And you mentioned during the Hayek Lecture — after you showed a number of slides and discussed a lot of the data, including some data from Piketty and his colleagues — and said that to you it looks like slower, sluggish economic growth is a much more pressing problem.
Piereson: That I think is the core problem that we’re facing in the United States and in Europe and of course in Japan, which has been struggling with this for 20-odd years. Our economy has had sluggish growth since at least the year 2000. Even before the financial collapse in 2008, our economy is growing only at 2-2.5 percent.
And then, of course, it went over the cliff in 2008. And we really haven’t really regained the kind of solid economic growth we had in the 1960s or in the 1980s or the 1990s.
Two percent economic growth in America is not going to get the job done. That’s a recipe for stagnation of incomes and standard of living for our middle classes. And it will not allow for mobility for people who are way down the ladder.

Chapel Hill Murders Not a Result of Islamophobia
The
mainstream media is doing its best to frame the narrative on three murdered
Muslims in Chapel Hill. They desperately
want the accused murderer to be a right-wing Islamophobe hell bent on a killing
spree. However, it’s not working out
that way. Brietbart reported the
following:
On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” CNN.com
Religion Editor Daniel Burke reported that Craig Hicks, who is suspected of
murdering three Muslim students, had previously written in defense of the
Ground Zero mosque and criticized those who thought President Barack Obama was
Muslim on what appears to be his Facebook page.
“When you kind
of pore through his Facebook page, you see dozens and dozens of posts making
fun of religion in general, making fun of the idea of prayer, the idea of god.
A lot of these are quotes from people like Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Bill
Maher, but I didn’t see anything that was violent, and I didn’t see anything
that particularly pertained to Islam. In fact, there are a couple of instances
in which he seems to implicitly defend Islam, there’s a post from around the
time when they wanted to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York where he
calls out conservative critics who didn’t want the plan to go forward saying,
‘hey, you guys are being hypocrites. If you are allowed your freedom of worship,
Muslims should be allowed, too.’ He also calls out conservatives who
made–spread rumors about President Obama being a Muslim. He said, ‘so what if
he is Muslim? It’s okay if we have a Muslim president.’ So, his views against
religion are kind of, very anti-religious, but nothing specifically against
Islam,” he stated.
So it really was over a parking spot
dispute. Looks like another fail for the
mainstream media.

Join the Counter-Jihad and Enter the "Draw the Prophet" Contest
What’s the best way to stand up for
Western values while denouncing Islamofascism?
Hold a Muhammad art exhibit and contest, of course. Pamela Geller is organizing an event in
Garland, Texas called, “Draw the Prophet.”
Last month, Muslims gathered in this
same town for a “Stand with the Prophet” conference. This was an exclusive event and only
select members of the press were allowed to cover it. There was no tolerance for
others. However, “Draw the Prophet” is
open to all. Breitbart Texas reported
the following:
The art exhibit and contest will be held at
the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland on May 3rd. ”This
was the site of a Muslim conference denouncing ‘Islamophobia’ — an obscene
stand for them to take after the Charlie Hebdo massacre – and our massive Free Speech
Rally outside that event,” Geller wrote in a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas.
The contest will
take submissions online and the winner will be announced at the event in
Garland. The winning cartoonist will receive a $10,000 prize. The exhibit will
feature images of Islam’s prophet in both historical and contemporary settings.
There will also be a series of speeches by internationally renowned free-speech
advocates.
Geller explained
that the art exhibit is the next logical step following AFDI’s Free Speech
Rally in Garland. “This event will stand for free speech and show that
Americans will not be cowed by violent Islamic intimidation,” she stated. “That
is a crucial stand to take as Islamic assaults on the freedom of speech, our
most fundamental freedom, are growing more insistent.”
“Of course, this
event will require massive security,” she assured potential attendees. “But
this exhibit has to be staged. If we don’t show the jihadis that they will not
frighten us into silence, the jihad against freedom will only grow more
virulent.”
Its a shame attendees to this event need
protection from adherents of the “religion of peace.”

Rep. Luis Gutierrez Knows Nothing About "Free Money" for Illegal Aliens
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, ambassador for illegal aliens and the third-world, was asked about “free taxpayer money” for border
jumpers who can now claim tax refunds.
He, of course, didn’t know anything about it. The Daily Caller reported:
Illinois
Congressman Luis Gutierrez told The Daily Caller Friday that he didn’t know
that illegal immigrants are eligible for tax refunds — even if they haven’t
paid taxes.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told
members of Congress Wednesday that illegal immigrants who did not pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds
once they are issued social security numbers.
“I know nothing of the sort,” Gutierrez
snapped at a Daily Caller reporter Friday when asked about Koskinen’s
testimony.
“Of course it would be like you to raise
that sort of question,” the Democrat continued. “Why don’t you ask the
commissioner of the IRS?”
The commissioner, of course, had already
been asked about it.
Everyone
knows Democrats are not good stewards when it comes to the treasury. They are even more negligent when it comes to
looking after the interest of Americans. They can even get a little testy about it.
IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen told members of Congress Wednesday that illegal
immigrants who did not pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds

“I knew you were going to bring
something negative up,” Gutierrez whined during the press conference. “It
doesn’t matter what I say. You will turn it against all of us here at this
caucus. You know it.”
You
mean just like how you and your fellow Democrats turned against the American

U.S. Ranks 49th in 2015 Freedom of Information
Should
Americans change the ending of our national anthem to land of the not-so-free

we should after the 2015 World Press Freedom Index ranked the U.S. 49th
in freedom of information. Zero Hedge

But as Liberty
Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger notes, the
bastion of press freedom in the land of the free, fell once again... to 49th!!
In the United States, 2014 was marked by
judicial harassment of New York Times investigative reporter James Risen in
connection with the trial of Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA officer charged
under the Espionage Act with giving him classified information. US journalists
are still not protected by a federal shield law that would guarantee their
right not to name their sources or reveal other confidential information about
their work. Meanwhile, at least 15 journalists were arbitrarily arrested during
clashes between police and demonstrators protesting against black teenager Michael
Brown’s fatal shooting by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
– From Reporters
Without Borders’ 2015 World Press Freedom Index
They should
also include the federal government’s reluctance to provide Lois Lerner’s
emails, full disclosure on Benghazi and the Fast and Furious scandal; along
with a myriad of other harassments and abuses of power perpetuated by the Obama
administration.

I’m surprised we aren’t ranked lower.

Another Global Warming Protest Canceled Because of Cold
Why do global warming alarmists schedule protest in
the middle of winter? Every year they
get canceled due to “unfavorable weather conditions.” You’d think they would learn by now. The Daily Caller reported:
Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the
university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told
the Yale Daily News that
frigid, snowy weather set for this weekend will mean their global warming
protest will have to be postponed.
FFY’s
Mitch Barrow said that “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical
issues, including some cancellations from speakers and performance groups”
would mean they would not be able to rally on Global Divestment Day — a day
where environmental groups urge institutions like Yale to divest from fossil
fuels, like coal, natural gas and oil.
Yale should divest itself of stupidity. The halls would be full of tumbleweeds if
that ever happened.

Senator Ted Cruz Reintroduces State Marriage Defense Act
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has reintroduced the State
Marriage Defense Act in the U.S. Senate.
“Even though the Supreme Court made clear in United States v.
Windsor that the federal government should defer to state ‘choices about who
may be married,’ the Obama Administration has disregarded state marriage laws
enacted by democratically-elected legislatures to uphold traditional marriage,”
Cruz said in a press release.
He added, “I support traditional marriage
and we should reject attempts by the Obama Administration to force same-sex
marriage on all 50 states. The State Marriage Defense Act helps safeguard the
ability of states to preserve traditional marriage for their citizens.”
While you’re at it Senator, why don’t you reintroduce federalism
and the U.S. Constitution? The Obama
administration and the federal judiciary have disregarded that as well.
