And of course you’ve heard about this, I’m certain, from the DEM/MSM, have you not?

Covered day and night by our thoroughly-efficient 24/7 news providers in America?

From The Washington Times Op-Ed:

If the pope called for the destruction of all the mosques in Europe, the uproar would be cataclysmic. Pundits would lambaste the church, the White House would rush out a statement of deep concern, and rioters in the Middle East would kill each other in their grief. But when the most influential leader in the Muslim world issues a fatwa to destroy Christian churches, the silence is deafening.

On March 12, Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.” The ruling came in response to a query from a Kuwaiti delegation over proposed legislation to prevent construction of churches in the emirate. The mufti based his decision on a story that on his deathbed, Muhammad declared, “There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula.” This passage has long been used to justify intolerance in the kingdom. Churches have always been banned in Saudi Arabia, and until recently Jews were not even allowed in the country. Those wishing to worship in the manner of their choosing must do so hidden away in private, and even then the morality police have been known to show up unexpectedly and halt proceedings.

I ask you:

• Has the US State Department weighed in?
• Secretary of State Clinton?
• Did I miss a press conference with Jay Carney?
• Has Mr Obama condemned this violent fatwa against all of Christianity?

In a word: no. And please read the rest of the editorial here.

The fatwa “does not just create a religious obligation for those over whom the mufti has direct authority; it is also a signal to others in the Muslim world that destroying churches is not only permitted but mandatory.” [My emphasis. -BZ]

News-flash to Mr Obama: if you try to ignore Islamists, they won’t simply go away.

Ignoring them doesn’t work.

Ask William Jefferson Clinton.

“Islam is as Islam does.”

P.S.
Isn’t it comforting to know that Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah is on Facebook? You can like him or pike him or friend him or bend him or whatever it is you do on Facebook. And don’t look now, but isn’t that our president with AABA in the photograph above?

I should care to point out Mitt Romney made one very poignant and clear delineation yesterday, which shows he has — at least — a bit of spine.

From FoxNews.com:

Question from woman in Peoria, Illinois: “So you’re all for like, ‘yay, freedom,’ and all this stuff. And ‘yay, like pursuit of happiness.’ You know what would make me happy? Free birth control.”

Romney: “You know, let me tell you, no no, look, look let me tell you something. If you’re looking for free stuff you don’t have to pay for, vote for the other guy. That’s what he’s all about, okay? That’s not, that’s not what I’m about.”

My gosh, a bit of truth just seeped out?

I wish I’d seen this kind of clear delineation from the very beginning but, no, Mitt Romney was too wrapped up in being everything to everyone at the time and point that he appeared in front of an audience.

A bit of spine?

From DeadlineHollywood.com:

OWN went for broke with the launch of The Rosie Show, whose October premiere, along with that of Oprah’s Lifeclass, were broadcast on five Discovery networks. The struggling and money-losing OWN spent some $10 million to market the two shows, whose debut was touted as an unofficial OWN relaunch. That $10 million went where the previous $250 million+ in investment from Discovery went — down the drain. After an OK start with 500,000 viewers tuning in to the premiere, Rosie quickly lost more than half of that to average under 200,000 viewers for most of its run, while Lifeclass was pretty much DOA. Why did O’Donnell, who had two successful previous daytime talk show stints under her belt, on her own syndicated show and on ABC’s The View, fizzle so quickly?

No matter what, you and I both know that George Bush is responsible, as well as Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. I suspect the Bilderbergers had a hand in this, as well as Skull and Bones. Rumors have it that I had a hand in the mix as well.

So — really — why did O’Donnell’s show fail? And not just Regular Fail, but Extra Crispy Fail, With Cheese? [Would you like fries with that, Rosie?]

Lack of viewers. No one gives a shite what she says or thinks. Even Harpo Productions recognizes a media and cultural loser. After five months = “cut your losses.”

The same thing could be asked of Air America, the so-called Bastion of the Perfect Left.

Why did it fail?

Same answer: lack of listeners. No one gave a shite what it said or advocated.

You’re either appealing or you’re not. You either take an audience or you don’t. You’re either yesterday’s news or you’re not.

Put me on TV and even I could draw 200,000 viewers.

Perhaps the days of overweight gun-toting hypocritical and self-defeating, negative lesbians are gone?

Or is it simply because Winfrey just fired 20% of her OWN staff? Isn’t that rather harsh considering this current economic climate? Or not: considering Obama says the economy is gaining momentum by leaps and bounds and hand-stands? No problem for Oprah’s staff; they can easily find other jobs in Mr Obama’s Excellent Adventure Economy!

Or — oopsie! — is Oprah Winfrey waging her own “war on women” “just like Conservatives”?

After all, Oprah, if you were not, you would hold onto the poor, overweight, ugly, lesbian with terrible ratings.

Or is it just: business? Because this is what really happened?

If so, that doesn’t quite seem so tolerant and Leftist to me. Unless, of course, you’re using your Bottom Fiscal Line to adjudge relative worth. Shameful! I say. Shameful, if so!

BZ

P.S.
Imagine that. Oprah Winfrey making decisions based only but upon HER fiscal moneymaking abilities! Her Evil Profits! Shameful! I say. Shameful, if so!

From Bunkerville.wordpress.com:

Regarding Deneen Borelli:

Black conservative commentator and author Deneen Borelli tells Newsmax.TV that she and other people of color who fight for conservative principles against President Barack Obama’s failed policies risk backlash from the liberal left.

“They’re trying to shut down independent thought,” Borelli said in an exclusive Newsmax interview. “The moment someone strays from the liberal left’s ideology plantation of big government, you will be made an example of. And that is something that I have been experiencing for the last several years. I’ve been called all kinds of names in the book — and they are in my book.”

Borelli, whose new book is “Blacklash: How Obama and the Left are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation,” said she has been labeled a racist and described as a “token, trader, and sell-out” for her conservative views.

“Figure that. I’m a black who is a racist because of Obama’s policies. You know, listen, people need to be vocal of what they feel and what they believe. But when you have the liberal left comes out to play the race card, what they’re trying to do is stifle debate,” she explained.

Heard of this? Heard of Deneen Borelli?

Of course not; and that is entirely purposeful.

“Nigger, please.” Neither Mr Obama nor his sycophants would minimize the plight of other blacks, yes? Civility? Goodness? Equality? Lack of bile?
