I don’t know if this will make it past the LL censors, (it didn’t, but it’s still embedded as a video here) but I have to post this because Peter Singer has close ties to the Obama administration, and his views along with Noam Chomsky’s are distressing at best; diabolical at worst.
I’ll let you watch and be the judge whether or not it’s okay to contemplate terminating the life of a 3-year-old, or euthanizing a person who’s elderly. Quite shocking indeed.
Tonight on Mike Huckabee, actor Jon Voight was on to discuss the over-reaching tentacles of the Obama administration into the healthcare system and other facets of our lives. He calls Obama arrogant (deservedly so), and quotes a piece from conservative scholar Thomas Sowell about the state of current events.
Jon Voight says “no man…has the consent of a God to decide that he’s God.” The audience was near silent on this one, but I don’t think the silence was in protest; I think the silence was the everyday American’s shock at someone who is speaking the truth.
Finally Voight voiced his desire that Huckabee run again for President, saying we need a virtuous man like him. Do I disagre? Not in a million years. America could do worse – and it may TAKE a staunch devout conservative like Huckabee to bring our country back to the way it should be.
God bless Jon Voight. He IS courageous to speak out even though I’m sure he gets backlash in Hollywood for his views. Truth be told, I really don’t think he cares; nor should he. The truth will never steer you wrong, and it’s a position that needs no defense.
Continuing the discussion on the Civilian National Security Force Obama wants to build, guests former Army Staff Sgt. David Bellavia, author of “House to House” and an Iraq war vet, and Matt Spalding of the Heritage Foundation, were on to discuss and ponder the need of a civilian security force and just who they would be “fighting.” Bellavia has an interesting comparison (not equivalence) between a group loyal to the Iraqi State and not the country or the people, that Saddam’s Fedayeen were for his rule in Iraq. The parallels are striking, and only a military person who helped topple Saddam’s regime could understand it.
Why would Obama want a civilian force just as powerful and as well-funded as the U.S. Military to protect our “national security?” From enemies foreign or domestic? And who decides for this group (presumably AmeriCorps as the umbrella organization) who they’re going to fight to defend our national security?
More questions than answers, and we need more answers. STAND UP! Ask questions, and don’t give up until you get an answer.
As a final point of clarity, Glenn does get it wrong with AmeriCorps government funding of a $500B, but he does point out that he needs to check that and get the correct amount, as he does later in the show (not in this clip). It’s actually $5B, but before you say “wow, that’s a huge difference for Beck to screw up,” let me say two things:
1) Beck corrected himself; not because he was called on it, but because he wanted to be exact; and
2) Since when in hell did $5B become an inconsequential amount? Oh, yeah…ever since $1 trillion became so trivialized to the point we’re all numb to it.
Today on Beck, he spotlighted Obama’s oft-repeated mantra about the need for a “civilian national security force,” one that is “just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well-funded” as our military force.
Beck asks a reasonable question of the president: “Who are we fighting?” What possible enemy would a civilian security force be formed to combat? Enemies who could cross the southern border? Nope, we tried that one already – the Minutemen – and they were roundly vilified as “racists” and attacked wherever they appeared to speak.
According to the Obama Administration itself, we are no longer at war with Islamic extremists, so why would we need to amass such a vast civilian security force? Honestly, why?
It is time for ALL lovers of freedom and the Constitution to do as Glenn suggests: 1) Question with boldness, 2) Hold to the truth whatever it may be, and 3) Speak without fear.
What do we have to lose if we ask questions, except for potentially our very freedom TO ask questions?
I don’t give a damn if you hate Glenn or Fox News at all. It would behoove you to watch and listen, even if it is only to challenge GLENN’S motives to pose his questions for all to answer. Consider it a 17-minute investment of your time. If you don’t feel like anything’s amiss with what’s happening, then go along your merry way and whistle while you work. If you do listen intently and understand the specificity of Glenn’s questions, then you just might feel inclined to ask them yourself – ask them of your elected officials wherever you live.
Left or right, Democrat or Republican, this is information EVERYONE needs to know! Forget the Fairness Doctrine… this is more insidious! And the FCC “Diversity Officer,” Mark Lloyd is an admirer of Hugo Chavez???? And what in the hell did our country do to STOP the anti-Chavez revolution? This raises more questions for all of us. Please – go ASK BOLDLY and SPEAK WITHOUT FEAR!
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.
