9-11-2001: One American Eight Years Later

Posted on by

We forget that Islam attacked America on September 11th of 2001.

3,000 American lives were lost that day. First estimates indicated that, due to the number of persons customarily occupying those buildings early in the morning, upwards of 50,000 Americans could theoretically have been killed. It was by the sheerest dint of luck that this didn’t occur.

3,000 or 300,000 — Islam would have killed as many as humanly possible that day, to include the entire Pentagon and our nation’s Capitol.

And yet, only after 9/11 did we as a nation begin focusing on the rights and existence of Muslims. Why is that?

What happened to the rights of the man above?

Did he wake up that Tuesday morning thinking he would be left with no alternative to his life but jumping out some window or ragged hole made by the trauma of an aircraft impacting his place of work?

And yet, there he is, clothed, dark pants, light shirt, dark shoes — jumping — head-first towards what he knows to be concrete below.

What he knows to be his death below.

And so what was his alternative? Scalding strips of flesh hanging from his arms? An onrushing flash flame created by burning Jet A fuel?

Is that a decision at all?

To my knowledge no one has yet determined the identity of this man. And yet he clearly had a family and a name and a past and parents and possibly children.

And but for today, he is primarily forgotten.

THAT, you see, is our national legacy.

Eight years later.

One Down; Obama’s Target-Rich Nominee Environment

Posted on by

Van Jones: down for the count. Resigned.

Why?

Conservative bloggers. Like me. Like many of my readers. Who dared, who had the temerity to pose actual questions — much less fluffy little softballs — where “real journalists” lacked the testicles to tread. Lest they, the DEM/MSM (horrors!) be in conflict with Our Hero.

From Politico.com:

(The resignation of Van Jones) confirmed that the real opposition party to Obama right now is the conservative grassroots that draws its energy from Fox News, talk radio and the Drudge Report, and often leaves Republican elected officials scrambling to catch up.

Quite absolutely correct. The GOP has certainly done nothing. Who managed to bring up the facts about ObamaKare — and derail any pure version? Conservatives and bloggers.

The Demorats just don’t have the votes to push the House ObamaKare bill, HR3200.

Who managed to bring up the facts about Van Jones — and acquire his resignation? Conservatives and bloggers.

Which Obama Payback Nomination is next up to bat — as a nod to support from animal rights groups?

Why, that could be Mr Obama’s pick to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a Mr Cass Sunstein.

This, by the way, is a man who believes animals should “be granted the opportunity to sue with human representation in a court of law.“

Mr Obama’s problems lie not with Republicans, who are predominantly absent in both substance and style, but with fellow Demorats.

In the meantime, Our Hero’s negative ratings continue to rise. Even Camille Paglia in Salon.com asks if it’s too late for Mr Obama to turn things around.

As Dennis Prager logically writes: “the bigger the government, the smaller the individual.”

I only ask: please keep it up, Mr Obama. Your nominations, your policies, your proposed bills create nothing but a veritable Target Rich Environment for myself and fellow Conservatives.

You have not the first clue. You are remarkably tone deaf. Thankfully.

To have our Reagan, we had to have our Carter.

To have a groundswell Revolution, we had to have our Obama.

Spending: Then & Now

Posted on by

Our Mr Obama said in a 2006 floor speech that preceded a Sentate vote to extend the debt limit:

Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.”

Mr Obama then later joined his fellow Demorats in voting en bloc against raising the debt increase.

From TheHill.com:

Now Obama is asking Congress to raise the debt ceiling, something lawmakers are almost certain to do despite misgivings about the federal debt. The ceiling already has been hiked three times in the past two years, and the House took action earlier this year to raise the ceiling to $13 trillion.

“Conservatives” elected Mr George Walker Bush. Myself included. Little did we know, then, that he was just a bit of a Social Conservative (with his millions and millions of dollars wasted on AIDS in Africa, an exercise in enriching the pockets of black continental African racists). And little did we know that he was a massive Fiscal Liberal. He never met an expensive bill he didn’t essentially endorse. Vetoes? Vetoes? “We don’t need no steenkeen vetoes!“

Considering that, he was only, at best, a moderate security Conservative. He refused to constrain our borders both north and south.
Which brings us to now:
Again, from TheHill.com:

The Senate must move legislation to raise the federal debt limit beyond $12.1 trillion by mid-October, a move viewed as necessary despite protests about the record levels of red ink.The move will highlight the nation’s record debt, which has been central to Republican attacks against Democratic congressional leaders and President Barack Obama. The year’s deficit is expected to hit a record $1.6 trillion.

Where’s TARP?
Where’s all of our Stimulus Packages?
Who accounts for this? Where has an accounting been? Nowhere? Nothing? Billions pissed away as if they didn’t exist?
And yet, despite this, despite Mr Obama’s abhorrence with the Bush Administrations up-pushing of the Nation Debt?
Oh, well.
That’s fine.
Because he is, after all, The One. And it’s All About Him now.

Let’s Talk About Van Jones: Ten Important Points

Posted on by

1. It would appear our illustrious Green Jobs Czar, Mr Van Jones (he of the stellar and unimpeachable character), took time off, prior to his appointment, to record a very popular CD hosted by Mumia Abu-Jamal entitled WARTIMES: Reports From The Opposition.

This runaway success, on Mr Jones’s “Freedom Fighter Music” label, was unearthed on Weasel Zippers via Free Republic:

Van Jones, Barack Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, produced a record album entitled “WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition” a few years ago that was narrated by convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal and featured a clip of an interview Jones did where he slammed the United States and Israel and proclaimed his stand with a “global struggle” against the United States. Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize.

The album was unearthed by the website Verum Serum, which posted a YouTube video with highlights of the album.

About three minutes forty-five seconds in to the highlight video, there is a brief interview with Van Jones at an anti-Israel demonstration where Jones criticizes Israel and calls for Palestinian ‘right of return’ then unloads on the United States:

“We see violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S. border, at the U.S. border, and beyond the U.S. border and you see U.S. tax dollars funding all of it. And so we have this now global struggle against the U.S. led security apparatus and military agenda that impacts people here and impacts people around the world and I think that we need to see our problems as linked.”

Mumia closes out the album by describing it as a “small tease of the truth about U.S. imperialism’s war on the world.”

2. Mr Jones could quite potentially have a great deal to do with Our Hero’s Cap & Tax campaign.

3. Unfortunately, Mr Jones has a bit of a potty-mouth, as he called Republicans “assholes” during a February energy conference in Oakland. Video is here.

4. Jones is an avowed communist:

Speaking to the East Bay Express, Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots, during which time he was arrested.

“I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.

“I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next 10 years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary,” he said.

Trevor Loudon, a researcher and opponent of communism who runs the New Zeal blog, identified several Bay Area communists who worked with STORM, including Elizabeth Martinez, who helped advise Jones’ Ella Baker Human Rights Center, which Jones founded to advocate civil justice. Jones and Martinez also attended a “Challenging White Supremacy” workshop together.

5. The Obama White House isn’t saying much about the learned and rational Mr Jones.

6. Nice job of Mr Jones portraying former President Bush on crack. Sterling work, sir, such a professional individual you are! A cut above!

7. Mr Jones says that “only suburban white kids” shoot up schools. Imagine that. And apparently only black kids shoot up black kids. LOTS of black kids. Huh. Must be genetic. Note to self: look into this.

8. There is already a call for Mr Jones to resign. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s coming from an actual Republican:

Rep. Mike Pence, the no. 3 Republican in the House, is calling on Obama green jobs czar Van Jones to resign.

This sort of thing would usually be laughed off by Democrats — a conservative Republican telling a Democratic appointee to quit.

But the Obama team isn’t exactly jumping to back Jones today in wake of revelations that in the past he signed on to one of the “truther” groups that claimed 9/11 was an inside job. Oh, and he called Republicans a**holes in a video earlier this year before he was appointed.

9/11Truth.org spokesman Mike Berger told the Washington Times over the phone that all of the signers had been verified by their group. He said 9/11Truth.org board members “spoke with each person on the list by phone or through email or individually confirm they hae added their name to that list.”

“I think in most cases they spoke to them personally,” he added. “No one’s name was put on that list without them knowing it.”

Dammit. I hate it when facts get in the way of a good Communist, Socialist Racist like Mr Jones.

I already wrote about Our Miss Jones last Tuesday.

Mr Obama has, apparently, in his own learned and scholarly life, never heard of a phrase similar to “you are judged by the company you keep.”

. . . though you might dare to posit that this is nothing more than common sense which, as Glenn Beck points out, isn’t much common anymore.

10. Common sense? And wondering why the DEM/MSM is tanking across the nation? How about this salient little factoid you won’t read anywhere else (via Byron York of The Washington Examiner):

From a Nexis search a few moments ago:

Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the New York Times: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the Washington Post: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on NBC Nightly News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on ABC World News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on CBS Evening News: 0.

If you were to receive all your news from any one of these outlets, or even all of them together, and you heard about some sort of controversy involving President Obama’s Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, your response would be, “Huh?”

And all this in the light of:

– Unemployment at a 26-year high;
– Approval ratings for Congress at a 24 year low;

Das Hopenchange. How’s that working out for you, Mr Obama?

P.S.
Why is it that our Mr Jones cannot seem to locate a beautiful, strong, classically-sculpted African female with which to form his ideal bond? How and/or why does he find black females apparently lacking for his close personal relationship and breeding purposes? Why are his private, personal choices seemingly not in keeping with his public persona and support? How many powerful, solid, aware, supportive, strident, vocal, gorgeous sisters did he purposely ignore in order to make and finalize his familial choice? She is clearly one Lilly-White chick. Does this somehow not seem conflicting to you? She may be an UberPolitik choice. But how does this choice make you feel?
