How Interesting… Google Blocking "Negative" Searches Related to Islam

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

I just tried it out and sure enough typing “ISLAM IS” completely disables the search suggestions.  “Christianity is” gives a bunch of nasty suggestions.

Google is blocking "negative" searches related to Islam. Free thought, free will, free men? Only for left-o-fascists. Notice how quick Google is to scrub jihad websites, videos, and incitement to violence? Of course you haven’t, because they don’t. Google-owned you tube runs all the jihad porn, but if patriots get out of line, their vids are deleted and accounts suspended.

Google proudly endorsed Obama and was banning anti-Obama blogs during the election like clockwork.

The leftist Islamic alliance is hard at work. Evil makes for strange bedfellows.

Google’s conduct in all things jihad has been unconscionable.

Moonbattery: Moonbat Logic: Ban Transfats, Outlaw Cigarettes, Facilitate Heroin Use

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

I have nothing to say here.  There’s no need.

Under Nurse Bloomberg, New York City has outlawed transfats and all but outlawed cigarettes as public help hazards. But, the moonbat NYC government is distributing a pamphlet to instruct addicts on proper heroin use.

Within each of the 10 broad tips, the brochure presents several "simple but valuable" related ideas for users about how to lessen potential problems when injecting drugs.

One suggestion reads, "Use with someone else. If you’re alone and something goes wrong, no one can help."

Another says, "Use a new syringe, cooker, cotton, tie, and other supplies every time." Plus, "Warm your body (jump up and down) to show your veins." Along with, "Find the vein before you try to inject."

That’s the progressive, secular, compassionate moonbat left for you. Smokers and people who enjoy tasty food are to punished and stigmatize. But hard drug users are to be facilitated and supported.

C-SPAN Calls Obama On One Of His Campaign Lies

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

Are you a racist?  How dare you accuse the One of lying?

Barack Obama told Americans numerous times during the 2008 campaign that he was going to hold his health care talks on CSPAN.

He was lying. Democrats have kept the process private all along. They didn’t even give their members enough time to read the bill before it was voted on. They bribed members with $1.2 billion for their votes and this week they decided to hold private negotiations with House and Senate on how to swallow up the health care industry.

C-SPAN asked democrats to keep their word to the American public and quit holding backroom meeting on the government takeover of one-sixth of the nation’s economy.
FOX News reported:

The head of C-SPAN has implored Congress to open up the last leg of health care reform negotiations to the public, as top Democrats lay plans to hash out the final product among themselves.

C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb wrote to leaders in the House and Senate Dec. 30 urging them to open “all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings,” to televised coverage on his network.

“The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of the sessions LIVE and in their entirety,” he wrote.

Congressional leaders, however, reportedly are expected to bypass the traditional conference committee process, in which lawmakers from both parties and chambers meet to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of a bill. Instead, The Associated Press reports that top Democrats at the House, Senate and White House will figure out the final product in three-way talks before sending it back to both chambers for a final vote.

This format would seem ideal for closed-door meetings, which congressional Democrats have used many times to figure out sensitive provisions in the health care bill — though President Obama pledged during the campaign to open up health care talks to C-SPAN’s cameras.

Hey Bloggers. Why Is It Ok For Hume To Tell Tiger To Become Christian? What If He Had Said Muslim?

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

The right blogs are all up in arms about Brit Hume.  He suggested that Tiger Woods should abandon his religion and embrace Christianity for forgiveness.

I was shocked when he did so.  I hate when people try to push their religion on you.  Its annoying and arrogant.

But more importantly, what is the deal here, bloggers?  I have seen plenty of posts lambasting people for telling others they should join Islam.  Sure, its usually a terror loving freak who says it, but they are attacked for having the gall to tell us we should become Muslim, yet you are fine with Hume getting on tv and telling someone to become Christian.

I wholeheartedly agree that the liberals are VERY anti-Christian, but it doesn’t mean that justifies being inconsistent in what you stand for.

Anyway, Pajama Media has a good article up.

Fox News’ Brit Hume stirred the pot this weekend, commenting on Tiger Woods’ infidelities. Hume said:

Whether he can recover as a person depends on his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, “Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.”

Many commentators were offended. Jay Bookman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution responded:

But seriously, I do not understand and can’t begin to comprehend the arrogance it takes to publicly anoint yourself someone’s spiritual adviser, and to then lecture them about their faith and its alleged inadequacies. This was a prepared, considered remark by Hume, not some off-the-cuff aside.

A person’s faith is a private matter between that person and God, and is not a matter to be judged by some pompous TV anchor.

And then there were those, like Pajamas Media’s own Charles Martin, who rejected Hume’s remarks on religious grounds. Charlie wrote:

Please mention to Brit that his knowledge of Buddhism leaves enough to be desired that he probably shouldn’t opine thereon.

I’ll grant that Buddhism doesn’t provide a transcendental entity which can forgive sin, but then Buddhism doesn’t actually provide the concept of sin either; we replace it with “things which lead to a peaceful life, causing no avoidable harm to others” and, of course, the opposite.

Moonbattery: Amanda Simpson Hopes to Open Future Opportunities for Public Weirdness

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

This seems to be getting play everywhere on the blogs, so I figured I would add my two cents.

  1. Yes, I think this person is a freak and a deviant
  2. Yes, Obama seems to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the most deviant, radical, and insane people he can find and put them in positions of power
  3. No, I don’t have an issue with this one… yet
  4. I know, you guys are building an effigy of me now, but hear me out.  Unlike Jennings who is a homosexual, pedophile advocate and has a long history of trying to turn children into fist f*cking, gay prostitutes (sadly, I wish I was exaggerating there), I don’t see that with this guy.  Until information comes out that he is forcing his agenda on people through his position of power, he is not a problem.

    Do I honestly believe that he will remain dormant and not do anything like that, no way.  But until he does, I can’t convict without evidence.
    So, all I can say is keep a watch on this one.  It’s one more weirdo in the freakshow that is the Obama administration, but we don’t yet know how dangerous a freak he will be.  It’s a shame that everyone Obama picks has to be evaluated not on their merits (they usually have none), but on how much damage they will do to the US.

The freak show that passes for our government has gotten even freakier with the appointment of Amanda Simpson to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department:

A 2004 YWCA "Woman on the Move," Simpson recently served as Deputy Director in Advanced Technology Development at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.

At Raytheon, Simpson … transitioned from male to female and was instrumental in convincing the military contractor to add gender identity and expression to its equal employment opportunity policy.

Simpson is not a woman, but a man who dresses like a woman. It can be assumed that he will use his ascension in the federal bureaucracy to continue to advance systemic bias against people who aren’t perverts.

James Riady, Barred From Entering The US For Illegal Contributions To Clinton Campaign. So Now That Clinton Is Running State Dept. … He’s Back

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

How interesting.  A guy who is not allowed into the US because of illegal contributions to the Clinton campaign and Dems, suddenly has State Department AND DHS approval to enter the US.  The Bush admin wouldn’t let him in, but under Hillary and Obama, here he is.

I wonder how such a thing could have happened.  Oh, wait.  As Michelle mentions, maybe it has to do with his $20,000 donation to their foundation?  Nah!

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has no idea how Chinagate scandal figure and old family friend James Riady found his way back into the country this year.

No idea whatsoever, according to the Washington Post:

In March 2004, James Riady, an Indonesian tycoon and devout Christian, received an honorary doctorate from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas. The university — which has a scholarship program funded by the Indonesian — didn’t announce the honor. Nor did Riady pick up the diploma in person: He’d been barred from America after pleading guilty in 2001 to a “conspiracy to defraud the United States” through illegal contributions to the campaigns of Bill Clinton and other Democrats.

Last year, however, the Indonesian mogul finally made it to Arkansas. He traveled there during the first of two previously unreported trips he made in 2009 to the United States. He was allowed in only after receiving a waiver from a rule that forbids entry to foreigners guilty of “a crime involving moral turpitude,” a term that government lawyers generally interpret to include fraud.

Riady’s return to the United States poses a prickly question for Hillary Clinton’s State Department: How and why did a foreign billionaire stained by Clinton-era scandals get a U.S. visa after being kept out for so long under the Bush administration?

Oh, and that $20,000 Riady donated to Bill Clinton’s philanthropic foundation? Nah, no appearance of a quid pro quo there

Once Again, AP Downplays Terror

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

Ok, let’s lay this out.

  1. Pakistan arrests 5 who are accused of planning a terror attack
  2. They justify their actions through religion, saying “We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism”
  3. They intended to head to Afghanistan to “help their Muslim brothers who are in trouble”

So, they don’t deny going to Afghanistan to help fight and they use Islam to justify jihad as acceptable and not terrorism.

So, how does the AP report it?

Americans detained in Pakistan deny terror plans

Think on that for a bit.  They denied their plans were terror, not that they were going to do them.

“We are not terrorists,” Ramy Zamzam told The Associated Press as he entered the courtroom. “We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism.”

Five Americans detained in Pakistan denied Monday they planned to carry out terrorist attacks, as a court granted police two weeks to prepare terrorism charges against them, their defense lawyer said.

The men, aged 19 to 25, denied they had ties with al-Qaida or other militant groups during a court appearance Monday in Sargodha, said their attorney, Ameer Abdullah Rokri.

“They told the court that they did not have any plan to carry out any terrorist act inside or outside Pakistan,” said Rokri. “They said that they only intended to travel to Afghanistan to help their Muslim brothers who are in trouble, who are bleeding and who are being victimized by Western forces.”

Rokri did not say whether the men planned to fight coalition troops in Afghanistan or simply provide humanitarian assistance. But one of the men indicated they had planned to wage holy war.

Here We Go… More Obama Lies. WH Starts Pushing For Amnesty So Illegals Can Have Obamacare.

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

So, are we at the point where EVERY point that Obama made in his heath care speech was a lie or just most of them?  Abortion, deficit neutral, illegals.

Remember last week’s seemingly inexplicable news that The One would try to cram amnesty down America’s gullet next year, too? It’s not so inexplicable, really. Once you understand that he’ll do literally anything, including sacrificing dozens of Blue Dogs, to pass health-care reform, this makes perfect sense.

Like Joe Wilson, I was worried for awhile that he might try to extend federal benefits to illegals, but now that I know he’s planning to wave his hand and magically legalize them first, I feel better.

Lawmakers who want to extend health coverage to illegal immigrants will not block the passage of the final health care reform bill so long as the White House offers a substantive promise to start pushing comprehensive immigration legislation this year…

A source familiar with the negotiations between Congress and the White House told TPMDC the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will demand an agreement from Obama that health care coverage for illegals who earn a path to citizenship will be addressed in an immigration bill…

Those familiar with the talks say any immigration legislation will include various amnesty provisions to allow for health care coverage.

MUST READ!! – Could this actually be the greatest and potentially the deadliest of Obama’s screw ups so far?

January 5, 2010 Leave a comment

This is an important story.  It shows how Obama’s ignorance of the enemy, security, and his overbearing desire to cover his ass at all costs are causing HUGE issues for us.

The short version is that everything he has done lately did nothing for us except hand ammo to the enemy.

I missed the implications of this up front and I bet you all did too, but I am hearing from members of the American intelligence community and some on the outside closely connected to those on the inside who are raising a huge red flag right now.

It appears Barack Obama inexperience and amateurishness has just started bonfires on the bridges connecting him to the American intelligence community and delivered a huge, HUGE psychological win to Al Qaeda.
