Soros And Liberals Look To Disrupt And Discredit American Citizens

Writing over at Infowars.com, Kurt Nimmo has shed the light of truth on the latest George Soros effort to disrupt politics in America and tilt the field in favor of the liberal ne'er-do-wells he so favors.

For those wondering, Soros is a Hungarian born immigrant to the United States who has made a fortune in currency speculation. He is credited with breaking the Bank of England in 1992, making 1.1 Billion in the process. His enormous wealth has a nack for influencing the markets that he is speculating in, to his significant advantage. In the past ten years he has inserted himself into American politics. One wonders if it is another financial speculative effort.

"Soros and the foundation left have launched a website designed to go after the growing Tea Party movement. Teapartytracker.org will post video interviews and blog entries gathered by folks on the false left who never grow weary of demonstrating their outrage over the very idea of a grassroots political effort overthrowing establishment Democrats and Republicans in the district of corporate criminals."
Oh yeah, those guys.
"Tea Party hating liberals “couldn’t sell the transparently nonsensical idea that Tea Partiers are just a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons, so the Crash the Party agents on the Left are infiltrating the Tea Party in order to pose as a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons,” Mark Tapscott wrote for the Washington Examiner on April 11, 2010."

I like the cut of the jib on this Kurt Nimmo character.

Palin Author Joe McGinnis Moves Out, Just As Clueless As The Day He Moved In

It is truely remarkable that a man of McGinnis years has so little sense of propriety and basic good manners.

After spending a summer in Wasilla, Joe McGinnis has moved out to write his Palin piece in the comforts of his East coast home. His time there started off bad enough when he had the poor taste to park himself in the home directly next door to the Palin residence. Joe felt he was being unfairly criticised, which gave me opportunity to write this earlier piece about the woes of Joe.

On his way out, Joe had this to say:
"I've been very busy but on Lake Lucille it's been very quiet," he said. "As I told Todd back in May—he came over to get in my face about moving in there—I said, 'You're not even going to know I'm there."
I hate it when Irishmen act like clowns. Todd Palin came over to get in your face? McGinnis, you are there to pry into the private lives of his family. You've written about his wife in the past, critically. The national press has maliciously abused the man's entire family. And you? You arrive in his hometown to write another crap, hit piece, and where do you choose to live? In the house immediately next door to the Palin family? You are supposed to be writing with insight regarding the Palins, and yet you lack the ability to see what an intrusive and false step that is? You feel that you are the injured party because Todd came over to talk to you? That's pathetic. The Irish can write, Joe, and with feeling. We're not a bunch of dolts. You're making us look bad.

And just in case it escaped you, you were in position to make it right. You could have easily gone to the Palins and said:

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm here to write and get some background interviews. I had no intention to impose or to make your family uncomfortable. Let me get another rental"

That would have been stand-up. Did you do that? Nope, you're just moving out now. Well, good riddance, Joe. You will not be missed.

The thickness of this guy. The utter lack of empathy.

Onto the piece:
"It's just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate,"

Maybe it's something you're doing, Joe. Did you ever consider that? That people were upset because of what you were doing? No, huh? Why does that not surprise me?
"That's the funny thing," he said. "They live in a place where anybody who wants to look onto their property, all they have to do is get a boat and park 10 yards off shore and they can sit there all day and look at the Palin's yard, if that's what they want to do."
Yeah. It's not like the Kennedy Compound. These are not the liberal ultra-rich that you write your Camelot stories about. These are people from a simple background. And they do represent the people.
But I don't know who would want to do that."
Well, you would, Joe. You moved in right next door while you were working on your book about her.
"People—I don't know if they're afraid of shadows or whether there's something real there—she's no longer in a position of governmental influence but there are people up there who are scared to death to talk because if Sarah ever found out they talked, oh, something terrible would happen to them," he said.

Maybe they're afraid of you, Joe. They don't know you very well. They don't know if they can trust you. Maybe they are afraid of being misquoted, or being taken advantage of, or being made the useful pawns in your effort to harm the Palin's, and they just don't want you to take advantage of them that way? Maybe they don't believe that what they say will come out in your book the way they said it. Did you offer any of them right of review prior to publishing, so they could be sure that their quotes were quoted correctly? Sheesh. Talk about thick.

Okay, look Joe, what you don't realize is that while you are out there trying to influence the world, we're forming an opinion about you. In short, you're an idiot, McGinnis. Now go back to the deep blue of Massachusetts and write your dumb book. I am sure we can rely on your judgment and character to write something worthy of your talents, such as they are. For my money, it's your actions and statements that inform me as to the value of your opinion.

Breath of Fresh Air

Mark Steyn came through town last week, spending a couple of days chatting with us all on the Rush Limbaugh show, and stopping off to speak with long time friend Hugh Hewitt.

It all came back like riding a bike ...
"They’re pointing out stupidities as well. I mean, the fact is yes, obviously, Constitutionally speaking, legally speaking, if a guy wants to buy a building and put a particular project in it, he’s entitled to do that. This pompous twerp, Bloomberg, who I think has come to embody the particular stupidity of the American ruling class, because it’s a very parochial kind of stupidity, presuming to lecture his knuckle-dragging, moronic constituents on how they don’t apparently understand the United States Constitution? It has nothing to do with that. There are all kinds of things that are Constitutional and are legal, but are not necessarily appropriate."

Exactly.

Thank you, professor.

Okay, we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Sing A Song Of Islam

Let's take a closer look at the Reuters article April linked:
"Wilders is currently on trial in the Netherlands for inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims."

Like that is reasonable... that a member of their parliament should be on trial for speaking about the social and political climate the people of the Netherlands are living in. He is on trial for pointing out that Islam is not all that tolerant. An argument is being made that that is inciting hatred. Meanwhile, Mr. Wilders is on 24 hour guard to try and protect him from one of the followers of "the religion of peace" sticking him with a knife or cutting off his head.

Note also that he is not given the usual press courtesy of describing the accused as being alleged to have committed the crime he is on trial for. We read about Pakistani Terrorist Training camp graduates that are alleged to have plotted to blow up Time Square, but is the same standard courtesy extended to Mr. Wilders? Nope. He is convicted. In the press. Without trial.
"The Freedom Party leader made a film in 2008 which accused the Koran of inciting violence and mixed images of terrorist attacks with quotations from the Islamic holy book."

Technically, he didn't accuse them of anything. He just took quotes from the Koran and placed them side by side with images of Islam in the world today. People were to consider and make their own conclusions.

Muslims certainly had opportunity to make their own film depicting peaceful activities of Islam, and they could have placed those side by side with verses from the Koran that extolled peace with the free living peoples of the world.

Instead, they declared Wilders should be beheaded. Does that give one pause? Does that not make his point? No, apparently not if you are a journalist.
"Wilders was also charged because of outspoken remarks in the media, such as an opinion piece in a Dutch daily in which he compared Islam to fascism and the Koran to Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf."

The nerve of him, to openly speak out. Well, we certainly can't have that!
"But his views have also made him extremely popular with a segment of the country uneasy about the Netherlands' commitment to multiculturalism.""

His views reflect a growing concern among the people of the Netherlands that they are losing their culture, their freedom, their very country to an immigrant population that desires to change the Netherlands to a country of their own liking.

Hyacinth Girl Ripping It Up

Everybody's blog favorite, April Gavaza, has long been known to write intelligent, witty, thought provoking pieces. She recently had the rare double, knocking out two killer posts that had NRO types sitting up and grabbing links.

The first was Unenforcible, which described her heart break over the loss of the Arizona she knew growing up.
"All the way to Phoenix, I was angry. Not at the sheriff, who was overworked, understaffed and underfunded, or the Border Patrol that experiences the same problems, but at these open borders idiots who live north of the 33rd parallel and have had no exposure to the reality of life on the border. Even libtards that live in the border areas have very little understanding of just what their idealism has created. "

The second wondered where we were going as a culture, when feminists crow over non-issues while real threats to the freedom and health of women were being pushed forward by backward Islamists like Australian cleric Feiz Muhammad.
"Women’s rights leaders crowed about the demise of the sexually oppressive Victorian theocracy, a ’50′s era repression defeated by the likes of the sexually liberated Madonna and her clones. We could go out naked, drunk, and alone and not be at fault for the tragedies that befell us.

I can’t say that I’m totally on board with all of that, because I believe in personal responsibility, but I’m favorably disposed toward the idea that rape is not the fault of the victim."

You know you want to go read em.

Go on, get out of here!

Crystal

Smoke and confusion is the modus operandi for Mr. Obama and his minions. These troubled days most issues are turned on their ear and examined bass ackwards.

Thus, we discover that the President's pastor is a racist and a hater of America, and are told that he is a product of his times. The President is ready to lead us all forward to a brave new age.

We wonder at the President's educational background, and the man who declares he wants to have the most transparent presidency ever is ... unable to provide details.

The President supports the Ground Zero Victory Super Mosque (GZVSM), and we are told that his position is rooted in (don't laugh now) his deep and abiding respect for property rights, and our constitutionally protected freedom of religion.

The most recent presidential fog fest is the confusion the nation has over the religious beliefs of our nation's leader. It is said he is a Christian, but nobody knows for sure. Into this moorish bog steps Roxeanne De Luca:
"The more interesting question to me is whether or not Christians should care about Obama’s statements about his own faith."

Roxeanne poses the question for the president as Shakespeare would for the pondering, self-doubting Hamlet:
"To be, or not to be christian, that is the question"

Hamlet is a role the president fully embraces, and the Rox has a knack for illuminating what others have covered in darkness. While the media ties up the public conversation by chiding us for considering that he is Muslim, and brow beating us for even wondering what the real answer to the question might be, Roxanne runs down a list of actions which illuminate the inner workings of the character playing the part, summing up:
"Could the man, despite all this, be Christian? In a quantum-mechanical, “all things are possible depending on the probability density of the electron cloud” way, perhaps."
What the...?! Perhaps?!!

Fear not. Roxeanne has the goods ... and delivers.

al-Soofi Flies The Coup

The Dutch have released the two Yemeni men who were recently found to be traveling light. Yes, Ahmed Mohammad Nasser al Soofi who boarded a flight in Birmingham, then in Chicago transferred his bags to a flight to Washington DC while he himself took a flight to Amsterdam, is off on his own to make his way back to Yemen, where he can report back the relative comfort with which he was able travel. And what did we find in the DC bound luggage of Mr. al-Soofi?
"Screeners discovered he was carrying $7,000 in cash. ABC said a check of his baggage found it contained a cell phone taped to a bottle of Pepto-Bismol, three phones taped together, several watches taped together, a box cutter, and three large knives."
The government has downplayed the event, saying it was apparently a mistake, and that the two men just happened to be on the same flight together, but did not in fact know each other. This appeared to be in conflict with what passengers observed on the flight to Amsterdam.
"Witnesses on the plane say al Soofi and al Murisi sat next to each other on the plane, in seats 24 H and J. Witnesses say they were laughing and carrying on as if they knew each other – and sources here in Detroit confirm that they are in fact friends."

Mr. al Soofi's attorney, Wouter Hendrickx, has said he was on his way to Yemen to visit his family when he was detained.
"He says 'I have no connections to terrorist activities whatsoever"
So there you go.
"However, a U.S. law enforcement official said Tuesday that following FBI inquiries neither man is likely to be charged in America."

Just a typical international flight.

And so ends the al-Soofi episode. Nothing to see here. There is no terrorist threat. Move along. And I hope you all feel safer, knowing that taking your shoes and belt off, being patted down and run through scanners indiscriminately is doing its job to keep you safe.

Nice work, TSA.
