Put Down That Computer Keyboard and Back Away Slowly

Social media will soon be Big Brother Media if the Obama administration gets its way. If you blog, use Facebook, Twitter or send email, the Department of Justice, headed by Eric-I-Don`t-Remember-Holder, will be watching what you say about the big wide wonderful world of Islam.

The Obama administration is launching a series of Muslim Outreach Summits as a platform for Muslims to tell us, the ordinary American infidels, how they can better serve the community. I expect to hear suggestions like, "We want to volunteer to be airport security baggage inspectors," and such. But I think that one way to start would really be for Muslims who hear chatter in their mosques about terrorist plots, to turn those people into authorities (just as long as it isn't the DoJ). It would also be nice (Jewish people call nice a "mitzvah") if Islamic organizations actually denounce jihad and those who religiously commit it against us.

Holder at the Bus Stop, Obama Stands Behind Him

Holder may go--but certainly, he should go. It seems pretty clear that he lied to congress. He also may be behind the Gibson Guitar Company heavy-handed, office bust-in (my term). He didn't know about the potential prosecution of James Rosen; he knew nothing about Fast and Furious, and he knows nothing about everything as the head of the Department of Justice. At the very least, he should be fired for his gross incompetence. But more than this, he should be prosecuted, for his low-life evil abuse of the Constitution of the United States of America. It's as simple as that.

Memorial Day Thoughts and Islamic Truth

I hope you had a good, thoughtful, and pleasant Memorial Day. I will not spout the usual clichés about what this day is all about--if you read my blog, you already know and you are likely a patriotic person.

As I write this, my TV is tuned to Fox News and there is an ad for Wounded Warriors. Every time I see one of these ads chokes my up a bit--I've given and I hope you would consider doing something for vets.

President Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He spoke about war and reminded us about the war still going on in Afghanistan. Good thing too, we might have forgotten--if we happened to be liberals. 

But what does our president really feel about our troops? I'm not sure. What I am certain about, however, is that like the leaders of nations before him, he is not giving credit where it is due in terms of why we're at war there and at home with terrorism. It isn't politically correct to actually say that we're at war with a Seventh Century ideology that cannot peacefully coexist with our values and beliefs. We must say things like: "It's a war on terror, folks." or "Islam is a peaceful religion,"  when in fact you cannot have a war on a strategy, nor can you say that Islam is a religion of peace as long as we, the enemy are still around--once we're gone, there will be peace and Islam will be the only religion around. That's simply the truth.


With the beheading last week of a British soldier by a Muslim, (a known "extremist" who was being "watched" by the government), David Cameron tap danced around the fact that the killer actually said why he killed the soldier and it had everything to do with Islam and his jihadist duty. But Cameron, of course, like all world leaders, had to state the standard, "but of course most Muslims are peace loving, kind, contributors to the community." It's almost like a disclaimer. It has to be said lest we anger them even more and it hits the fan.

Beheading Class 101

Until we're honest with ourselves, we cannot win this war. We cannot defeat Islamic jihad. It isn't "extemists" that are blowing themselves up to kill us--they're religious Muslims who actually believe what they read in their Korans. It's in there. Read it.

David Cameron: "It Isn't About Islam, Folks" Nothing to see here

The Prime Minister of England, David Cameron, along with the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, responded to the brutal public murder of a British soldier, Lee Rigby, by ensuring the public throughout the world, that the attack had nothing to do with Islam in spite of the fact that the killer shouted "Allah Akbar" as he sliced away at his victim. 

An anonymous source told this blogger that the mayor announced to the crowd, "There's nothing to see here, just move along, move along," as the murdered man, father of a 2 year old, lay lifeless and bleeding from his neck that barely kept his head attached. I'm being sarcastic about what the mayor, but not about the killer and his results.

Hate Tweet from the Far Left Vast Liberal Conspiracy

We conservatives are the ones who make everything political. It's never the left--they're too busy helping the poor, healing the sick, stopping our racist tendencies on the right, and making the oceans rise. Why do we think the left are disingenuous phonies who only feel good when they take advantage of our good nature or say something totally insensitive and cruel?

Because it's true.

Liberals know how to put on a good show, which is why many of them go on to become great actors and entertainers. They love to work for charities, as long they get paid and the donations come from conservatives, where most charitable money comes from, particularly if your name is Biden.

But in spite of that, liberals don't gloat when disaster befalls others, particularly others on the right side of the aisle. Wait. I just found something that speaks to the contrary. It looks like Lizz Winstead, one of the creators of the Daily Show, (that left wing news organization that Obama depends upon for his low information voters to get low information) has tweeted a politically motivated hate tweet involving the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma and conservatives. (See it below and give your opinion if you will.)





By the way, if the tornado "it has been ordered to only target conservatives," does this mean Winstead thinks Obama is responsible for ordering it?

How to Help Moore, OK Tornado Victims

Moore Oklahoma is a disaster area. As of this writing, there are 24 dead, having been downgraded from 51, and they are still looking amongst the debris hoping to find people alive. The police chief is saying that he believes 98% of all the dead have been accounted for, but we'll know better over time. One of the problems with getting the facts correct, is the problems with communication--cell phones are out because some of he towers are down, and accuracy is suffering.

Nature is not cruel; nature is indifferent. It doesn't care about your age, gender, religion or whether you're a Democrat or Republican; it will kill you if you're not prepared. Right now, there are two children in critical condition and are in the ICU. Both are doing relatively well, the physician in charge said. 

Sometimes being prepared doesn't even matter with tornadoes of this magnitude. There was some warning about the impending storm, and people got into shelters, but even so, some died because the shelters didn't provide adequate protection for the magnitude of the storm.

Right now there are many people who want to help the town of Moore. Officials want to make it clear that you should not physically go there to try and help out, but you can go to www.Safeandwell.org to make a donation or text "storm" to 80888 to make a $10 donation. You can also text the Red Cross at 90999 to make a donation.




Let's pray for Moore, Oklahoma and do what we can.

Charity or Larceny: Best and Worst Charities

Liberals talk a great game about how much they care about the underprivileged, but it's the conservatives who give the most to charities. You see, liberals want the underprivileged to have money, but they want it to be yours, not theirs. But which charities make the most of what you give them, and which tend to squander it, or as we say in Brooklyn, "piss it away"?

Let's look at some of the more well-known charities and examine them a bit.

Because Marsha needs your $$

The American Red Cross: CEO is Marsha J. Evans. Marsha made a base salary of $651.957 last year and received a substantial amount in expenses and donuts. At least some of the money the organization gets goes into helping people victimized by disasters, but donations are making Marsha a rich woman.

March of Dimes: For every dollar you give, a dime goes to actually help the needy.  The rest goes to expenses like salaries advertising, and whatever else the organization deems necessary to keep the march marching.

United Way: The President of the organization is Brian Gallagher and he makes $375,000 a year plus expenses. That doesn't mean the organization is a total waste, but it's an indication that a great deal of money is used for staff salaries and whatever.

UNICEF: The CEO of this United Nations organization is Caryl M. Stern and he rakes in $1,200,000.65 a year and gets a Rolls Royce. Less than 5 cents of every dollar goes directly to the cause, and I was kidding about the 65 cents.

Goodwill: The CEO and owner is Mark Curran and the organization (which I really should call a company rather than an organization) rakes in $2.3 million a year, much of which makes Mark rich. Mark pays his staff minimum wage--really--and not one cent goes to helping anyone but Mark. Do not give to Goodwill if you really want to help others besides Mark.

The Salvation Army: not to be confused with the Salvation Marines. The Commissioner is Todd Bassett who receives a mere $13,000 per year in salary and he is provided with housing. Fully 96% of all donations goes to help the needy. The SA is one of the good guys.

The American Legion: Their National Commander makes $0.00 in salary and all money goes to help veterans and their families and youth.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, The Vietnam Veterans Association, and The Military Order of the Purple Heart: all of their Commanders take no salary and, like the American Legion, help veterans and their families as well as youths in need. Another group of good guys.

Make a Wish: funds trips for children with terminal illnesses and all of the money goes to this end.

St. Jude Research Hospital: 100% of the donations goes to help children with cancer whose family has financial need. This charity received a lot of support from Danny Thomas, an American actor, and his daughter, Marlo, continues to support this fine organization.

Ronald McDonald House: all money goes to house and feed parents who have children in critical condition in hospital.

Lions Club: 100% of donations goes to help the blind.

There are obviously many other charities that haven't been cited here, but these are some of the better known ones. I hope this was helpful in making up your mind as to who deserves your support (unless you're a liberal and, like Joe Biden, you hope someone else will be generous with their money).

Arrogant IRS Former Leader Testifies Like a Rug

How Kemosabe

Steve Miller, former head of the IRS, claims that he knows nothing about pretty much everything involving the IRS. Why should he--as the person in charge of policies and procedures, he should be the last person to actually know what was going on when the IRS harassed conservatives and made it virtually impossible for them to claim tax exemption status while liberals were getting a free pass for the same applications. It has become obvious why he is taking an early (one month) retirement; it's his poor memory. He does not remember any significant conversations with anyone in the IRS, but he remembers actually speaking to some of them. 

If I didn't know better, I would say that Miller was taking a page out of the Jodi Arias play book and treated us like we were gullible fools. He actually had the stones to say that the IRS "provided horrible customer service." Customer service? Is that what he's calling it and thinking we're believing it? I suspect Miller has never sat through an actual IRS audit, particularly an adversarial one (which, in a way, is an oxymoron as they're all adversarial to some degree). 

Perhaps Miller should read the Lincoln quote about fooling people all of the time. I think time is up for the Obama administration--people aren't buying the lies anymore; except perhaps Chris Matthews and Piers Morgan who interviewed Obama and offered him a ride home afterward. 

While the president and Jay Carney try to minimize the IRS scandal and Benghazi, they're obviously aware how deep the crap puddle is that they're standing in. Up to their lying lips.
