After Obama revealed his new behemoth oversight agencies today, most of us were left aghast at what he’s doing to the Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Executive Branch is responsible for protecting us from ourselves making stupid decisions? It’s not THERE! We don’t have a right not to make mistakes; we don’t have a right to be protected from our own idiocy; we don’t have a right to be protected, cradle-to-grave. The only right of protection we have in the Constitution is against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I’m afraid this administration is on the precipice of that “domestic” enemy.
Yes, I might have taken literary license with that last part, but this government is WAY beyond out of control! Judge Napolitano calls it like it is – fascism.
h/t to AllahPundit at Hotair. Like he warns at HA, the video is on-and-off as far as availability goes. Refresh and check back, but as previously forewarned, there is a strong content warning. Per AP’s comments:
As with any Iranian video making the rounds on Twitter, I can’t prove that it is what it claims to be but it’s certainly plausible. Reports of students being killed by regime goons have been steady since the weekend, with 60 kids supposedly detained at Isfahan U. and others allegedly thrown out of upstairs windows. Clips of their injuries were being uploaded as early as Sunday but the one below takes it to a whole new level.
I am just speechless. I am even MORE enraged at Obama’s flaccid response to the events going on in Iran. Why else would they shun western reporters? Again, tempered with the precaution as to the veracity of this, I a stronger inkling to believe this is legit. Since all western media has been kicked out, Twitter images and cell-phone videos seem to be the only vestige of actual reporting of real-time events on the ground.
God help the freedom-hungry people of Iran. And SHAME on our White House for not taking a stronger stance against the Mullahs.
Tonight on Special Report, the panel discussed President Obama’s reaction/response to the uprising in Iran over the recent election. As usual, Juan is too deluded to see the truth, but thankfully, Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes are on hand to set him straight.
Krauthammer is one of the most intelligent thinkers I have ever studied, and folks would be wise to listen to him more often. Especially NPR’s Juan Williams.
I know I haven’t reported on this, but so many others have. Here is a compilation of some of the more grisly videos. This is just awful. So wrong on so many levels.
Pray for the poor Iranian people who just want peace, democracy and most of all FREEDOM!
Today on Beck, Byron York was on hand to discuss some funny business that went on last Thursday night during the middle of the night in Washington. You see, Barack Obama fired the Inspector General of AmeriCorps, but he did not give him any reason. The IG, Gerald Walpin, who was investigating Kevin Johnson for misuse of AmeriCorps funds, got a call late Wednesday night saying the president had lost confidence in him and gave him the offer to resign or be fire. Walpin refused to resign; especially considering his investigation into Johnson (a friend and contributor to Obama, as well as a former NBA player and current Mayor of Sacramento) had proven large misappropriations of AmeriCorp funds, and Walpin had done nothing wrong.
You see, what Obama did was actually violate a law that was passed in 2008, to which he was a co-sponsor of said legislation, that said any Inspector General who would be fired would require a 30-day notice to Congress, along with the listed cause for the firing. Walpin got neither. And he stood his ground, saying he did nothing wrong and was holding strong and speaking out as a warning to other IGs who might find themselves in disfavor with the President.
This is pure, unadulterated bullying, and it brings to mind one question: Where is the outrage of those in Congress over Bush’s LEGAL firing of the U.S. attorneys? Oh, yeah…not much to say there, huh? What a sham. But don’t count on one single MSMer reporting on this matter. It won’t happen.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
