Obama Kicks Butt On Illegals

Posted By Dave Snope

You'd think that he'd start with his illegal alien uncle with the drunk driving arrest. Or his illegal auntie who broke the law.

Unfortunately there is no transparency in the Obama administration so when they say deportations are up, but the statistics show that actual criminal deportation proceedings have dropped below Bush administration levels, what are people supposed to think? Is it just like the jobs reports?

Does this post mean that you're now an enthusiastic supporter of deporting the undocumented cultural enrichers? Next you'll be telling us we need to complete the fence. And then you'll complain that they shouldn't get in-state tuition privileges. And demand that drivers licenses be required to vote... it's a slippery slope. You go far enough left you circle around to the right.

MSM in the tank for Obama and Democrat Hypocrisy

Posted By Dave Snope

NBC had to isolate the two fragments of 911 tape they wanted and then delete the middle section. Then they had to crossfade (or something) to clean up the edit.

Yet NBC claims it was "a mistake."

According to Breitbart's John Nolte, this is the third time in 30 months NBC has maliciously edited to create the appearance of racism:

So over the course of about 30 months and under the watchful eye of Steve Capus, three times now NBC News has used deceptive editing in order to intentionally gin up racial division, all in an effort to aid Barack Obama by targeting his political critics (Tea Party, Perry) or to further the President's cynical reelection campaign to divide all Americans along racial lines (George Zimmerman).

Arguing with liberals is like ...

Posted By Dave Snope

LOL.

You're just a racist or pigeonist or a 1%'er or funded by an oil company or waging a war on women or something for posting that mean picture about well-meaning liberals.

#$^% My President Says

Posted By Dave Snope

That was a great line.

They'll be "saving lives" by implementing the preventative health care method of passing around free birth control in steerage.

And for wealthy Obama supporters like Julia-"I'm very satisfied with Obama and will vote for him again"-Louis-Dreyfus, the tragedy will be the fault of the passengers for relying on a big-oil fueled ship, as she flies by overhead on Lufthansa.

US Turns Profit From Bailouts

Posted By Dave Snope

Lookat the BBC, just printin whatever the Obama admin spokeshole says. My god, by all means, please open up that Treasury Dept PDF file and see the Nation's glorious return to prosperity starting the day Obama took office. Thank you Tim Geithner for that fine piece of re-election campaign propaganda. Clever bit there at the end, too, trying to look credible by saying that there are still challenges ahead. Business as usual, working the smoke and mirror machine, and never working for the taxpayers that pay you.

Just about everything on that report is BS. I'll pick one thing. It says that their crisis management helped support small business by helping them get credit "to hire and grow". It's like opposite-world, the other Earth on the far side of the sun. It still remains almost impossible for small businesses to get the lines of credit that they could get a few years ago. Or mid-size businesses. Banks won't loan money because they are uncertain about the economy and have extremely high risk-aversion, ridiculously phony interest rates, and they can make better money loaning it out for government programs instead. So guess what the business do? Hoard their cash as an operating buffer to replace what the LOC used to be for. Every small business that I know is doing this. Small businesses still aren't hiring because of Obamacare, tax uncertainty, increased regulatory burdens, energy costs, and the generally bad economy. Some small businesses are being driven to bankruptcy by new environmental regulations. More and more they are outsourcing even the smallest manufacturing jobs overseas to pinch pennies. This admin is doing everything they can to hurt business and jobs while they smile and claim that they are helping. Banana republic is too kind of an expression to illustrate how the operate. In their opposite reality they are driving jobs overseas while they demonize companies who outsource overseas.

Another Bounty

Posted By Dave Snope

Rod Kaufman said:

Where's all this bounty stuff coming from anyway?

Dunno, could it be tradition because bounty and ransoms are written about dozens of times in the Koran and Hadiths? Just asking.


Tabari VII:81 "'What do you think Khattab?' Muhammad asked. 'I say you should hand them over to me so that I can cut off their heads. Thus Allah will know that there is no leniency in our hearts toward the unbelievers.' The Messenger liked what Bakr said and did not like what I said, and accepted ransoms for the captives."
Ishaq:326 “Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners
for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was
made a place for me to clean.’”
Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered
enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods
and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Ishaq:313 "The Muslims told Abu Sufyan to pay them a ransom to free his son, Amr. He replied, 'Am I to suffer the double loss of my blood and my money? After you have killed my son Hanzala, you want me to pay you a ransom to save Amr?'"


There are many, many more like this, but that gives the flavor of the traditions of Mohammed. Although I'm sure CAIR would say that this is all taken out of context.

767 Takes Evasive Action

Posted By Dave Snope

Wow, scary. I can kind of understand how it happened. Maybe they need a new rule: no grabbing for controls after a nap until you've had your coffee.

I told this story to my wife, who has thousands of hours in military jets, and her instant response was "That's why aircraft lights are all strobes, so you don't mistake them for stars". Good point.

It does bring to mind all of the pilot UFO stories. I can picture a bright Venus after sunset, out of direct vision but refracting off the canopy glass and reflecting off the interior glass on the other side, moving as the pilot moves his eyes...

the future of America

Posted By Dave Snope

Ha ha! And I was under the impression that history has shown that it is the far left governments that quash dissenting opinions, take over the media, newspapers, and private industry. You know, guys like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, and myriad other tin-pot communist governments in Africa and Central America. Oh yeah, and our own dimmicrats like Nancy and Hillary wanting to control the airwaves with the "Fairness Act", control those horrible blogs.

I guess Ernie's experience is different.
