Tolerating Islam: “He Grabbed Her By The Hair And Then Shot Her In The Head” By John Ransom

 

Tolerating Islam: “He grabbed her by the hair and then shot her in the head” by John Ransom over at Townhall

 

Mehdi Nedder knew the suspected Islamic terrorist, Mohamed Merah, only “slightly,” says the Associated Press. But what he knows about him now has him slightly more worried.

 

Merah, 21, killed seven people in Toulouse, France, including three children, who just happened to be Jewish, and three French paras, who just happened to be soldiers, before he was finally killed in a shootout with police.

 

He bragged he had brought France to its knees according to various newswire accounts.

 

"This person doesn't represent me," said Nedder. "What worries me is what society will say tomorrow in the bakery shops, at the butcher's or at the post office."

 

He should be worried. And so should all Muslims.

 

The world, you see, can’t afford Radical Islam.

Nor should it tolerate it anymore.

I Got A Kick From An Article I Read At Townhall. It Was About Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

 

 therock

I like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson when he was in wrestling then in movies. When I saw an article title with his name in it I had to investigate it. The article talked about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson going into politics one day.

 

This is what part of the writer wrote during the middle of the article.

 

The grappler-turned-big screen actor told Moviefone during a recent interview that he has definite plans to enter politics at some point, and that his ambitions could reach all the way to the White House.

 

"Right now the best way that I can impact the world is through entertainment. One day, and that day will come, I can impact the world through politics," Johnson -- whose latest film, "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," opens Friday -- tells the site. "The great news is that I am American, therefore I can become President."

 

Then end the article with a single sentence.

 

Maybe he can end government gridlock with a headlock or two? 

 

If you thought the single sentence from the author was good you should of seen the comments.

 

The Rock comes onto the Senate Floor for a State of the Union wearing nothing but real short, tight drawers and a big belt with the Presidential seal on it and then roars in the face of the Master-at-Arms............"SHUTUPPPP."

 

GAWD! I'm having this marvelous visual of The Rock on top of the ring-post with Harry Reid upside down on his shoulder and coming down in a flying souflex with Reid landing on his back and bouncing about a foot in the air and then the ref lifts Harry's arm up and it just falls back limp on the canvas.......(sigh).

 

"The great news is that I am American, therefore I can become President."

Looks like a pretty good opening salvo to me!

 

Chuck Norris & The Rock in 2016! Now, that's a winning ticket. Congress won't pass any bills? Time to kick some butt.

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?

 

Those were just few of what people had to say that had me chuckling. You can read the article and comments to get a few chuckles at the link below.

Teachers Union Staffers Set Sail on 7-Day Caribbean Cruise

 

EAG Exclusive: Teachers Union Staffers Set Sail on 7-Day Caribbean Cruise by Kyle Olson over at Townhall

Imagine your organization is facing attacks from all sides. Imagine it’s losing members and revenue. Imagine governors and mayors – of both political parties – publicly denouncing your industry as “broken” and move swiftly to stifle your power and influence, while you flail away helplessly.

 

What to do? What else to do but go down drinking?

 

That’s what members of the National Education Association’s National Staff Organization have apparently decided. The NSO is an association of sorts for teachers’ union staff – political and communications types.

Blacklist

 

Blacklist by Oliver North and Tom Kilgannon over at Townhall

Blacklist (n.): a list of persons who are disapproved of or are to be punished or boycotted.

 

The definition above, from an old Webster's dictionary, was common parlance in the late 1940s and early 1950s as the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee investigated subversive activity, Soviet espionage and pro-communist propaganda. The committee unearthed spies and traitors -- Alger Hiss among them. But when the HUAC turned its attention to Hollywood writers, directors and actors, civil libertarians cried foul. The American Civil Liberties Union and others insist those on the "Hollywood blacklist" were unfairly persecuted for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to freedom of assembly and speech.

 

Now there's a new-millennium blacklist for American patriots who fail today's political correctness test. Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, a highly decorated special operations soldier with 36 years of service in uniform, is the newest name on the roster. The silence from the "civil liberties lobby" is deafening.

 

It often is said that our soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines serve to "protect our freedoms" and "defend our liberties." All true. Now consider what took place this week at the United States Military Academy at West Point -- an institution responsible for training young men and women to protect America from those who mean us harm. West Point cadets take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same." Many West Point graduates will deploy to fight radical Islamists who commit acts of terror against Americans and our allies.

The Politically Correct Bullying Thing

 

Is Anyone Else Getting Tired of This Whole Politically Correct Bullying Thing? by David Cortman Over at the Townhall

Maybe it is just me, but I am getting a bit tired of reading about the left’s aggressive push on the whole bullying issue. I am no bullying expert, nor am I a child psychologist, but I have been bullied before (after all, I am vertically challenged and wore braces growing up). Haven’t most of us been bullied at one point or another? Maybe many of us still are. And isn’t that part of learning how to cope with adversity and challenges in this cold, cruel world that we live in?

 

So why all of a sudden this outrage for something that has been happening since the beginning of time? A loaded question, I know. Let me offer a concession, identify a problem or two, then a general assessment.

 

First, a concession (with a caveat): bullying is no good. People shouldn’t bully. It is a serious issue, but one that should not be hijacked for political gain or to push an agenda.

 

Second, let me point out a problem or two with trying to prohibit bullying. Perhaps you’ve never thought about it, but how is bullying to be defined? I am not just talking about a general description or definition, but rather one that permits a fair and even-handed application. (More difficult is an application that is even possible with young children especially.)

A Recommended Article Read: Memo to GOP: Make Obama Pay for Keystone Failure

 

Memo to GOP: Make Obama Pay for Keystone Failure by Guy Benson over at the Townhall.

Erika has already laid out the policy folly of the Obama administration's feckless and ideological rejection of the Keystone XL project, so let's consider how Republicans should respond to this mess. For all its alleged prowess, the Obama political team makes its share of tin-earned decisions -- whether it's pursuing an unpopular healthcare power grab in the midst of a jobs crisis, throwing lavish parties at inopportune times, or taking legal action to block supermajority-supported immigration and voter ID laws. The Keystone decision might take the tone-deafness cake, however, and the GOP should exploit it to inflict maximum political pain on the White House.

 

The president and his minions are running around carping about how "we can't wait" to create jobs in this country by passing every statist, unpaid-for bill they can dream up, yet the administration has moved to reject -- or at least severely delay -- a project that would create 20,000 direct jobs. (Critics claim the more accurate total is "only" a few thousand jobs, as if that's an argument). The pipeline would also help nudge the country toward the very "energy independence" that politicians of both parties frequently describe as an important goal. Too bad, we're told. We can wait, apparently. The White House is hiding behind the State Department's skirts to justify this decision, claiming that they didn't have sufficient time to review the project. The Keystone XL proposal has been reviewed for three years. Also, contrast this logic with the administration's method of shoddily distributing billions in stimulus money to their "green energy" bankrollers at Solyndra and elsewhere. In those cases, they knowingly fast-tracked dubious loans to companies with failed business models. Thousands of jobs and billions of taxpayer dollars were simply lost -- and the president airily says he doesn't regret his mistakes.

The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM

 

Chuck Norris wrote a three part article on the Townhall and World Net Daily websites called ‘The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM’. The articles are worth reading. It gives you an idea what expect from this motley crew.

Here is the list of the three articles:

  1. The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM (part 1)

  2. The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM (part 2)

  3. The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM (part 3)

Like Glenn Beck, Chuck Norris is a reader of history.
