Sanders' new hire wrote that he hoped the Boston Marathon Bomber was white

White man David Sirota is one of the newest additions to the 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign. The white man once wrote that he hoped the Boston Marathon bomber was also a white American, because even though Sirota is white, he is a leftist who adheres to intersectionality and the victimization of everyone below the white man's level of privilege.

Two days after the bombing, which killed three people and injured hundreds of others, Sirota, a card-carrying cretin, argued in an article that Americans should wish the bombers be white because that reality would prevent war and wouldn't harm the advancement of liberal causes like cutting defense spending and passing immigration reform.

So the bombers weren't white and there was no war as a result of the Boston Marathon bombing, proving my claim in the paragraph above.

The article was published in leftist website Salon and was titled, "Let's hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American."

Sirota wrote in the 2013 article that has proven to be nothing more than pretentious bloviating from a virtue-signaling white guy who, like Joe Biden, apologizes for his Caucasian birth:
Because of these undeniable and pervasive double standards, the specific identity of the Boston Marathon bomber (or bombers) is not some minor detail — it will almost certainly dictate what kind of governmental, political and societal response we see in the coming weeks. That means regardless of your particular party affiliation, if you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget to protecting civil liberties to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist. Why? Because only in that case will privilege work to prevent the Boston attack from potentially undermining progress on those other issues.

If the bomber was white, Sirota said, then white privilege would shield policy debates from any political fallout.

It turns out the bombers were Muslim and seemed to be white, but Sirota definitely didn't want them to be Muslim because undoubtedly war would break out.

The American people are better than that. We are better than Sirota's claims and fears and bloviating.

In the same year, Sirota also praised now dead Venezuelan dictator Hugh Chavez and how he achieved an "economic miracle" in the country by advancing socialism and redistribution of wealth. 

Yes, having to use the Communist Manifesto to wipe your butt is, in a way, a sign of progress, but for Chavez, it was unintentional that his people would have to do such a thing due to lack of toilet paper and other basic necessities, like electricity, that socialism has determined weren't necessary. 

Like Brooklyn Bernie, Sirota is a useful idiot to the cause of socialism. He probably owns a "Che" tee shirt.


I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Fakebook News

Facebook is finally getting its act together and going after "fake news." 

The giant social media's CEO and hard left liberal, Mark Zuckerberg, announced its plan to tackle what they consider fake news, especially "the garbage you see from Fox News, The Washington Times, The National Review, Breitbart, PJ Media and those damn alt right blogs, just to name a few.

The methodology the liberal media website plans to use to tackle fake news will be by harnessing fact-checking experts such as those found in PolitiFact, Salon, the Huffington Post, MSNBC and Newsweek Magazine, just to name a few.

Democrats have blamed bogus news stories from made-up media outlets for influencing the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets have been very fair to Trump while being tough on Hillary Clinton. 

"We believe in giving people a voice and that we cannot become arbiters of truth ourselves, so we're approaching this problem carefully," Facebook's VP of News Feed, Adam Mosseri said in a blog post. "We've focused our efforts on the worst of the worst, on the clear hoaxes spread by spammers for their own gain, and on engaging both our community and third party organizers."

Specifically, Mosseri was referring to hoaxes perpetrated by FBI Director James Comey who claimed that Hillary Clinton used a private email server while secretary of state. That's simply too hard to believe--nobody is that stupid.

Terrorism and why Salon sucks

Ben Norton, a useful idiot who writes for Salon Magazine, is upset that for some unknown, crazy reason, we in the West are blaming Muslims for Islamic Jihad attacks against infidels. How can we be so naive? 

In an uninformed, dhimmie-styled apologist article by Norton, witlessly titled: "Our terrorism double standard: After Paris, let's stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves," the useful idiot wrote: 
Any time there is an attack on civilians in the post-9/11 West, demagogues immediately blame it on Muslims. They frequently lack evidence, but depend on the blunt force of anti-Muslim bigotry to bolster their accusations.
Actual evidence, on the other hand, shows that less than 2 percent of terrorist attacks from 2009 to 2013 in the E.U. were religiously motivated . . .
Well, it's quite clear that the Paris slaughter of innocent people was religiously motivated--the attackers said so. Even if they didn't cop to being Muslim, who in their right mind would blow himself up just to kill people if it was not religiously motivated with promises of an afterlife?

Now multiply the odds of 7 or 8 people willing to blow themselves up to kill strangers screaming "Allahu Akbar!" (allah is great) and tell me it wasn't religiously motivated. Read the Koran, Ben.

Norton can write whatever he wants and play with the data to make it seem accurate, but the threat of Islam is real and anyone who is being honest knows it's real. Calling Islamic jihadists "militants" describes their methods, but it tells us nothing as to who they are and what motivates them.

People like Norton, like Obama and his administration, refuse to delve into the root causes of Islamic terrorism, (aka Jihad) and create strategies to destroy the threat that it poses. This is why Obama has not Syrian strategy. This is why he called ISIS the JV team--he refuses to acknowledge who they are, and to some degree, appears more sympathetic to Islam than he is to Christianity and the West.

Norton actually believes that it is "right wing exploitation" that is preventing these attacks from being stopped. Not only is that insulting and stupid, it's downright bull crap. I suspect Norton has never read the Koran or spoken to a devout Muslim like one of the 13% of the Syrian refugees who is sympathetic to ISIS. Yes, that's a real number--I don't need to make up my facts like Norton.

"As soon as the news of the attacks broke," writes Norton, "even though there was no evidence and practically nothing was known about the attackers, right-wing pundits immediately latched on to the violence as an opportunity to demonize Muslims and refugees from Muslim-majority countries."

Perhaps Norton should consider the notion that when most apparently random terrorist attacks are carried out by an Islamic terrorist group, pundits tend to look in that direction. If Norton had his way, we would only be checking 80-year-old nuns at airports. But besides that, I'd like to see the evidence of his claim about pundits "latching on to the violence . . . as an opportunity to demonize Muslims and refugees . . ."

Who should pundits be latching on to, the Amish? Oh, wait--the Jews are always a good target for the left. Let's blame them for the attack. We'll say they inspired it because of what they're doing to the poor Palestinians in Gaza.

People like Norton and others who write for Salon are the real danger to society because they would have you look the other way when danger presents itself.

If you don't believe that orthodox Islam is dangerous to the health of infidels, you're not paying attention to what they say and what they do. Of course I'm not saying that all Muslims are terrorists--but check out real terrorist attacks throughout the world and you'll notice that most of them are Islam-inspired.

Thank a Vet, Tweak a Liberal

I hope everyone has a good Veteran's Day today.  Well, except perhaps not so much for Bowe Bergdahl and "Chelsea" Manning. I hear that Chelsea is putting in for a Lipstick Request because "she" doesn't want to have to pay for it "herself" out of the money "she" earns making Diplomat license plates and would rather have we taxpayers foot the bill. At least we don't have to pay for "her" birth control, so tough bullets to you, Sandra Fluke (pronounced 'Fluck').

Remember, Chelsea, being gay doesn't excuse treason. They should have hung you for that.

I listened to a little of Joe-the-Village-Idiot-Biden's speech today. Some of it was lost due to technical difficulties but I believe I was able to get the gist of it: "Will the banner yet wave?" hither and thither and yon.

But you have to give Joe credit for belting out the words .  .  .  over and over. He actually sounds patriotic and perhaps he is. Like Obama, Biden wants what he thinks is best for the country. It doesn't matter that what he and Obama really want is a form of socialism that has proven time and again to not work, it only matters that he has good intentions.

Good intentions get pretty worn out and old when the people with those good intentions have absolutely no clue of the reality those good intentions would bring about. Look at Communism and the hundred million deaths it has been responsible for over time.

And if Karl Marx is your role model, please take a bath and use soap in spite of who you look up to. Oh, and feed your own children--it's your responsibility, not "the collective."

Every year we honor veterans. For those on the left, it's an act. They have cut military spending to a dangerous level. They send a minimum of ground forces into war zones to ensure our military impotence; they make disrespectful remarks that are carried on websites like Salon and Huffington Post.

If those on the left like socialism so much, how come they never move to socialist countries? 

Obama is in China and in China they are mocking him. In Russia, Putin laughs at him and does what he wants to do in Ukraine and Crimea. I wonder what's next for Vlady.

So please, in spite of my dour words, have a good, no a great Veteran's Day and be sure to thank a vet if you see one.

Nuclear Options, Nuclear Iran, Friday Brain Flushings

I'm Making You An Offer You Can't Refuse
It has been quite a week in the wacky world of politics. Reid goes nuclear; Iran is currently doing the same under the guise of efficient energy production for peaceful purposes; Obamacare doesn't just cover abortions, it has become one; and Ed Schultz has gone beyond calling Laura Ingraham a "slut," he has become a presidential confidante along with a host of MNSBC hosts and Juan Williams of Fox News.

Iranian crowd attempts to stop the hanging of 2 men to no avail

Just before dawn on Tuesday, hundreds of Iranians gathered in Isfahan in the hope of preventing the hanging of two young men. The security ...
