Elena Kagan's Sharia Protection Racket

From the Center on Security Policy:

As Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan banned military recruiters from campus because US law said they couldn't enlist homosexuals. Well, she invited the Saudi's "recruiters" to promote their legal code -- Shariah -- which calls for homosexuals to be murdered and women to be treated like animals. If Kagan tolerates promoting the injustice of Shariah law on the campus of Harvard, what kind of injustice will she tolerate in America during a lifetime on the Supreme Court?

And not only that: "Kagan shielded Saudis from 9/11 lawsuit: Sided with kingdom in case brought by victims of terror attacks."

Where Have All the Serious Republicans Gone?

From Jacob Heilbrunn, at Foreign Policy, "End of the Establishment."

Folks can check the link for a quick perusal. I'm just tripping on this cover photo, of the GEICO Neanderthal-like caveman representing the "unserious" Republican. Heilbrunn's a talented writer, and I enjoy his inside scoops on the neocons, but as we saw with yesterday's Pew survey, Americans see the tea parties as mainstream, and as more of the top GOP candidates adopt quasi-tea party platforms, it's increasingly hard for leftists to portray Repubs as troglodytes without marginalizing themselves even further.

Muslims Riot in France

The background story is here, "France fears widespread rioting as youths rampage after police shoot robber."

Other than that it's mainly bloggers reporting on this, surprise. See Jihad Watch, "Muslims rioting in France, burning cars over killing of Muslim casino robber who shot at cops," and Gateway Pundit, "Disgruntled Muslim Youths Now Using Automatic Weapons on Police in France (Video)" (via Memeorandum).

Obama is (Close to Being) Finished

We've seen a lot of frustration with President Obama on the radical left. And Alexander Cockburn's CounterPunch is almost as far left as you can get. But it's worth a read, even if he discounts Obama's own neo-socialist tendencies. Leftists want more, of course. But the left critique overlaps with right criticism on a number of issues. Leftists want more from the Democrats, and they're mad. Conservatives are mad that Democrats put him in office. Both sides think he's been a disaster, although the left hates the consequences of that fact, and the right is (basically) greedily anticipating its restoration to power in November and beyond.

In any case, "The Fall of Obama":

It is not Obama’s fault that across 30 years more and more money has floated up to the apex of the social pyramid till America is heading back to where it was in the 1880s, a nation of tramps and millionaires. It’s not his fault that every tax break, every regulation, every judicial decision tilts toward business and the rich. That was the neoliberal America conjured into malign vitality back in the mid 1970s.

But it is Obama’s fault that he did not understand this, that always, from the getgo, he flattered Americans with paeans to their greatness, without adequate warning of the political and corporate corruption destroying America and the resistance he would face if he really fought against the prevailing arrangements that were destroying America. He offered them a free and easy pass to a better future, and now they see that the promise was empty.

It’s Obama’s fault, too, that, as a communicator, he cannot rally and inspire the nation from its fears. From his earliest years he has schooled himself not to be excitable, not to be an angry black man who would be alarming to his white friends at Harvard and his later corporate patrons. Self-control was his passport to the guardians of the system, who were desperate to find a symbolic leader to restore America’s credibility in the world after the disasters of the Bush era. He is too cool.

So, now Americans in increasing numbers have lost confidence in him. For the first time in the polls negative assessments outnumber the positive. He no longer commands trust. His support is drifting down to 40 per cent. The straddle that allowed him to flatter corporate chieftains at the same time as blue-collar workers now seems like the most vapid opportunism. The casual campaign pledge to wipe out al-Quaida in Afghanistan is now being cashed out in a disastrous campaign viewed with dismay by a majority of Americans.

'Is There Anything You Can Do to Stop Them?'

I've had an e-mail exchange with one of my readers regarding the libelous slams on American Power from Lawyers, Gays and Money and RepMasterHater3.

She responds with this query:

Donald ... the things they've written are horrible, and it seems that their intent is to wear you down, if nothing else...but implying that you are a pervert into juvenile porn is beyond that ... I'm sure that you have been pushed to the limit of your patience with them, though, which is understandable ...

Your last email arrived as I was writing this ..., Donald. Is there anything you can do, legally, to stop them? If not, then perhaps the best thing would be to totally ignore them ... even so, I don't think that would stop them, either. I hate to see your family suffer because of them. They have no shame ... and no conscience. It is sickening to realize that people like that are all around us, and make such a mockery of everything, holding themselves up to be moral men.

This is a real e-mail from a longtime reader. I don't make stuff like this up, as do those who carry out their entire existence on a life of lies and destruction.

But to answer the question, in the case of Scott Eric Kaufman, I could contact the UCI Department of English and report his libelous allegations of juvenile sex offense. I'm not planning to at the moment however. I did put that possibility out there in public, in the comments at LGM, so these idiots will think about how deeply they wish to submerge themselves in the encrusted depths of evil. As for HateRingleaderReppy3, I've requested numerous times that he and all of his demon sheep post their real identifications with work contact information at American Nihilist. Naturally, they've not done so. It's just too easy to smear and defame people of good moral standing and threaten their families when you're hiding behind a pseudonym. It's all part of the life online, fighting the hate, and to quit or give in somehow would be a victory of evil over goodness. And I won't let that happen.

Racism Straight Up

Via William Jacobson:

Selective Comment Moderation at Lawyers, Gays and Money — NTTAWWT!!

Hey, those dudes at Lawyers, Gays and Money really do mix it up!

And hey, who knows, perhaps RepMaster3's been holding out on us! Our gay-backing nihilist has a whole "harem" of blogs. Topping it off with a little side gig smacking down some Gay Money trackbacks to LGM? That's what I'm talking about, yo! If it feels good do it, dude!

And just think I've been working on a comment moderation post since the "good" fellas over at Lawers, Gays and Money banned me, but I can dig it ... turns out these homies like to schwing!

Here's the screencap for comment moderation at LGM Saturday morning. Posted there is the information for SEK's and Robert Farley's academic departments. I have NOT contacted their places of employment, but seeing how leftists love workplace intimidation, maybe what's good for the goose...? (Considering, of course, their libelous allegations of juvenile sex offenses, nothing of which was remotely in evidence when Repsac3's Swash Zone allies contacted LBCC.)

Seriously, I had left this post late Saturday morning, but it was blocked in moderation:

Scotty Lame-ieux: I'd be banned for posting Robert and Scott's contact information, after all these years of the lovely snark fests I've had in the comments? This morning was the first time I've gotten a "waiting for moderation" notice. My interest is in your removal of the libelous material, which is not okay. Respective academic departments might agree, even the nice folks at Hunter College.

So, basically, comments from a neocon truth-teller like me get the memory hole, while "The Best Penis Excercises" get the LGM pattycake boost! That is so butch! And naturally, it's all perfectly legal (unlike LGM's lies about juvenile sex offenses), although no doubt the respective LGM department chairs would be interested in the kind of lascivious hot gay money (sex?) sites available for those liberated LGM readers. NTTAWWT!!

* "Penis Enlarging Excercises – Best Penis Exercises – Enlarge Penis Having Sex Male Penis Enlargement."

And geez, now I know why Un-exDLB's a fanatical LGM reader! (Recall that he's a connoisseur of "choice" lesbian soft porn himself.)

South O.C. Patriots Rally for Arizona!

Just got back from the "Support Arizona!! Street Protest!" on El Toro Road in Lake Forest.

I stayed for an hour. Temperatures were pushing 100 degrees. Most folks driving by were supportive, although a few yelled "racist" slurs. But the South O.C. patriots are a good natured bunch. Close to 50 people turned out. They waved signed and used bullhorns to get the message out: Secure our borders. Except for the first few pictures, photos are posted mostly in semi-chronological order (and the third shot down, with the Arizona State flag at left, is a fellow named Jim who I met in Phoenix for "Stand With Arizona"):

Mark Thompson, Hamas Rationality Guy, Laments the Lost Promise of 'Liberaltarianism'

Hey, I haven't kept up with Mark Thompson lately.

Readers might recall Thompson, the guy who argued in favor of Hamas rocket attacks on Israel, that "the continued rocket attacks don't have too much of an effect on international opinion because they are rather ineffective at actually killing people."

Right.

Ineffective.

Well, we'd have to check with what folks in Sderot have to say about that, and elsewhere.

Iris Twito, the mother of two sons injured by Qassam rockets in the city of Sderot, decided to grant an exclusive interview with Sderot Media Center, following the Gaza aid flotilla fiasco.

“The entire world hates us,” said Iris, “but they don’t know what we’ve been through.”

The Twito family is a living testament for why there is a naval blockade on Gaza. “It’s not just Sderot that is under threat today, but the whole country,” said Iris.

“It is vital that we stop these flotilla boats because we cannot allow Hamas to terrorize our Israeli children.”

Sitting on her patio in Ashdod, with a cigarette in hand, Iris recalls the most horrifying experience a mother can go through. Three years ago, Iris’s sons Osher and Rami, then eight and 19 respectively, were walking to an ATM in Sderot, when the rocket alarm went off. As the two brothers frantically attempted to locate a shelter in the middle of one of Sderot’s main streets, the Qassam rocket struck meters away from the two.

The exploded shrapnel sliced through the boys’ legs. Residents poured out to the street to help, but another rocket alert went off, forcing everyone to flee to shelter again. Moments later, the ambulances arrived to transport the boys to the closest hospital, Ashkelon’s Barzilai Hospital, located 20 minutes away from Sderot.

Amidst the flashing cameras at what was one of Sderot’s goriest scenes resulting from a rocket attack, Iris collapsed from the shock of seeing of her two sons lying next to each other, surrounded by a pool of their own blood. The entire city of 19,000 were subsequently shocked by the developments to follow.

The rocket attack left Osher in a coma for two weeks. The young boy had to go through intensive surgeries; his left leg had to be amputated, and doctors had to operate on a hole in his chest and his injured lungs. The older brother Rami’s legs were also badly damaged and operated on.

Ineffective, see?

But Mark Thompson doesn't stop at Israel demonization. He like him teh "liberaltarianism" as well:

Since libertarians will, of necessity, always be the junior member in any ideological coalition, an increased affiliation with the Left requires that a critical mass of libertarian intellectuals be prepared to emphasize social and foreign policy issues over economic issues. This, however, cannot and will not happen unless libertarians begin to question the ways in which the affiliation with the Right, rather than any real philosophical principle, is the reason we tend to emphasize economic issues so heavily over social and foreign policy issues.

Oohhh! "The Right"!!

Sounds kind of ominous, like "The Israel Lobby!"

Clue to Mark Thompson: There's no such thing as "liberaltarianism." You're a leftist who wants to hide totalitarian tendencies. Suck up it and just come out.

Radical Leftist Arrested for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Assault on Military Personnel

Remember my comments about Repsac3's merry band of extremist henchmen? "I expect physical threats to my safety as forthcoming ... so always remember --- leftists are pure evil..."

This is what I mean, or worse, "Pacific Grove Police: Military Personnel Assaulted at Beach":

Pacific Grove police officers arrested a 20-year-old man who they say assaulted a group of military students late Tuesday night at Asilomar Beach.

Police said Tyler Tirado, of Monterey, had confronted the group of Defense Language Institute students, called them “baby killers” and struck a 20-year-old woman in the head with a beer bottle.

Officers responded around 11:50 p.m. on the 1800 block of Sunset Drive to reports of a woman with a one-inch cut to her scalp.

The victim and about a dozen of her friends, police said, were gathering on Asilomar Beach when they were confronted by another group who began making derogatory comments towards them.

To avoid any further altercation, officials said, the DLI student started to leave the beach.

As the victim’s group left, police said, Tirado threw a beer bottle and struck the woman. She was taken to the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula where she required staples to close the wound.

Hat Tip: BCF.

Voters Rate Tea Parties as More Centrist Than Democrats

And we should be surprised?

Today's Democrats are largely a group of neo-communists and their fellow travelers. I'm kinda surprised they're not even further over to the far-left fringe at the chart, at "all voters."

Weekend Cartoon Roundup — 'The New Cap is Good News'

President Obama on the BP oil spill cap on Friday:

The new cap is good news,” he said. “Either we will be able to use it to stop the flow or we will be able to use it to capture almost all the oil until the relief well is done.” But he added: “It’s important that we don’t get ahead of ourselves here. One of the problems with having the camera down there is that when the oil stops gushing, everybody feels like we’re done, and we’re not.”

Stalinism and the Obama-Democratic-Left

At American Thinker, "Alinsky, Stalinsky, It's Still the Same Old Agitprop":

"Stalinism" is a useful term for the totalitarian left -- even to the left itself. It's one word they haven't been able to chew up, gulp down, and transform into its opposite. They still know what "Stalinist" means, even after generations of new names for the same community agitators: "The New Left," "hippies," "Black Panthers," "youthful radicals," "idealistic students," "feminists," "the workers," "black nationalists," "Third World socialists," "the wretched of the earth," "Green Party," "Gay activists," "LGBT," "Global Warming," "peace and freedom party," "eco activists," "civil rights campaigners," "post-modernists," "gender studies," "J Street," "Bolivarismo," "ACORN," "undocumented workers," "Moveon.org," "Liberation Theology" -- there must be hundreds and hundreds of front labels for the Same-Old, Same-Old. They make up new ones all the time. This year's fashionable lefty cult is called ... "progressivism!" ....

Stalinism is no stranger to the American left. It is part of its very being. Every time another old Stalinist dies, the New York Times has a crying fit, telling us what a sweetheart the bloody-minded old fanatic really was. That's all you really need to know about the New York Times.

At some point you have to conclude that the left knows exactly how bloody and destructive it really is. Sure, a lot of the brainwashed followers live in deep denial, but the big names know. Chomsky knows where the bodies are buried, and he knows where he wants to have the next Gulag. So does Jimmy Carter, another peace-loving fan of Hamas and Hezb'allah. So does Obama. They know, they know. They are not innocent.

Erin Andrews in the News

In case you missed the latest on Erin Andrews, see: "Erin Andrews to join Robin Roberts on Good Morning America," "Erin Andrews files lawsuit against peeping Tom and hotels," and, "Erin Andrews’ replacement: ESPN’s Jenn Brown carving her own path."

I can't stand "The Examiner," but this piece is quite informed, "ESPN's Erin Andrews vs. Jenn Brown: Who says sexy doesn't mean successful in sports?"

For myself, I'm infinitely impressed with Erin Andrews. She went through a nightmare that perhaps no one else has endured in our sex-obsessed culture. She's capitalized on some of the exposure, and she's made some risky but productive choices in appearances and style. It all seems to be working out well, and she's getting promoted for much more than any sympathy votes in response to the generalized inhumane media treatment of her last year.

An interesting and talented women. Hats off to Erin Andrews.
