    Harry Reid throws in the towel on Garland confirmation before November

     

    Not that I expect the liberal army in political media to stop flogging this dead horse the election is over, but the actual fight in Congress over the nomination of Merrick Garland seems to be at an end. The clearest signal yet for such a conclusion came when Harry Reid took a few gaggle questions and changed his stance to one of saying that Garland would be confirmed after Hillary Clinton is elected

    Party of the people?

     

    Clinton: You can sit with me at my next fundraisers for $353k

    The Democratic Party is the party of the workingman and the underprivileged, where talk about race relations, income inequality, and the 2016 election are front and center if you can afford to come to the party.

     

    Lucky contenders will have the high privilege of sitting next to the former first lady and the Clooneys if you have $353,400 on you.

     

    You also qualify if you have raised that amount as well. The event will be at the home of venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar in the San Francisco Bay Area. Another fundraiser event with the Clooneys and Clinton will occur on April 16 at a $33,400-a-ticket event in their mansion in Los Angeles (via Politico):

    Only 539 Democrats voted in the Alaska caucus

     

     

    in Washington, Democratic Party officials estimated more than 200,000 people participated on Saturday, close to the record set in 2008

     

    His victories on Saturday were not unexpected; both Washington and Alaska have relatively low percentages of the black and Latino voters who have bolstered Mrs. Clinton’s campaign this year, and he has done well in states holding caucuses.

    But the results also highlighted the uphill climb Mrs. Clinton would face in winning over the young and liberal voters who have flocked to the Vermont senator, and who often express concerns about her fund-raising and speechmaking practices.

    She'll probably get the necessary # of delegates, but Democratic primary voters/caucus goers are clearly not excited to nominate Hillary.

    There Aren’t Enough Faces To Palm: Obama Invokes Cruz’s Dad To Make Point About Islamic Terror

     

    Today President Obama answered a question from the press about Senator Cruz and his statement following the attacks in Brussels. Cruz stated that law enforcement needs to be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Obama’s answer to a question about that was ludicrous.

     

    As far as the notion of having surveillance of neighborhoods where Muslims are present, I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance. Which, by the way, the father of Senator Cruz escaped for America, the land of the free. The notion that we would start down that slippery slope makes absolutely no sense.

     

     

     

    Oh do you mean the communist dictatorship that you just left, Mr. President? Oh. Oh the one where you watched baseball and did the wave.

     

    Yes? The baseball game place? Is that the place you just left? Oh. I guess that’s a point.

     

    That Ted Cruz’s father fled the country where you were just living it up having a grand old time that you didn’t allow to be interrupted by silly little domestic squabbles involving Islam.................................... That country.

     

    That’s an argument you could make, I suppose.

     

    If Ted Cruz bothers to respond to this dumb statement, I suggest he talk about fathers, too.

     

    I can’t recall, what religion was yours, Barack Hussein?

     

    What was your step-father’s religion? It has slipped my mind.

     

    Well no matter, I’m sure it’s not relevant. Not nearly as relevant at Ted Cruz’s father is to a discussion of Islam. No doubt, no doubt.

     

    Self-awareness, Mr. President. It’s a thing. Look it up. And maybe get off parents.

     

    After all … well you know the rest of that joke.

    Islamic Terrorism

    Book: More militant Islamics ´than ever before in history´
    by Paul Bedard

     

    Original Article .....from the London Center of Policy Research

     

     

     

     

    Incubators of Islamic Supremacism: Surveillance in Muslim communities is indispensable for defeating terrorism.
    With no hope of winning an argument on the facts, demagogues resort to the argument ad hominem. Too often, it works. And in the modern “progressive” West, no demagogic tactic works better than branding one’s political adversaries as racists.
    That is why the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamic-supremacist organization, dreamed up the term “Islamophobia.” It is why Western progressives, stalwart allies of the Brotherhood, have lustily embraced the Islamophobia smear tactic — even sought to engrave it in our law, in brazen violation of the First Amendment.
    It beats trying to refute the irrefutable nexus between Islamic scripture, sharia supremacism, and jihadist terror. It beats trying to rationalize the sheer idiocy of a policy, their policy, that idealizes Islam as the irenic monolith they would like it to be, rather than the complex of competing and contradictory convictions it is. Of the latter, the most dynamic is the conviction that Islam is an alternative civilization determined to conquer the West by force, by political pressure, by cultural aggression, and by exploiting Western civil liberties (liberties that are forbidden in the sharia societies Islamists would impose).

    Ted Cruz found himself in the middle of this demagogic storm this week. Reacting to the latest jihadist atrocity in Brussels, in which 31 were killed and 230 wounded, Senator Cruz argued that to protect our national security against radical Islamic terror networks, it is imperative for law enforcement to conduct surveillance in Muslim communities.

    Cruz was not calling for a dragnet targeting all Muslims. In his presidential campaign (to which I am an adviser), he has stressed the importance of identifying the enemy as radical Islam. That is not campaign rhetoric; it is how we figure out who warrants surveillance — and far from being anything new, it is how counterterrorism was done before President Obama came to power. Yet, as night follows day, the Islamist-leftist alliance pounced with the fury of an emperor whose lack of clothes has just been noticed.
    It is simply, undeniably, a fact that some Muslim mosques and surrounding communities are hotbeds of Islamic supremacism, a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that holds that Muslims must struggle against non-believers — by force and by all other means –- until Allah’s law (sharia) is established throughout the world. Islamic supremacism is not the only way of construing Islam, and millions of Muslims reject it. This, however, does not undo the remorseless fact that millions of Muslims accept it, that it is a mainstream construction of Islam (it is, for example, the Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood), and that it has a considerable following in the West.

    Yep.

     

    With that, that is the difference between the progressives and conservatives. The cons are just heartless bastards that will always paint with a wide,negative brush first... Assume the world is as unconpassionate and dishonest as they are. Call me a naive fool, but I'd rather error on the positive side first.

     

     

    You appear to not be a naïve fool ............but just a fool.

     

    Conservative, religious oriented people have been shown time and time and time and time again to be more charitable and forgiving towards people.

     

    Progressives, not so much.

    They got the John Edwards story right, didn’t they? That’s all we’ve been hearing today on social media.

     

     

    In a bombshell world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER has learned that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death was a highly planned “political assassination” orchestrated by the CIA and carried out by a $2,000-a-night hooker! A top Washington, D.C. source said the Feb. 13 death of the 79-year-old jurist at a remote Texas ranch just 15 miles from Mexico was part of a “shocking conspiracy that tracks back to the CIA and the White House!”

    Round 2. Fight!

     

    1) http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/24/us/north-carolina-to-limit-bathroom-use-by-birth-gender.html

    It is not making major news here in NC and is majorly supported yet misrepresented by even the local press. This law dignifies that men are men and women are women. This law allow is rather silly but it's going to embroil the state in heavy legal battles for the foreseeable future.

    Is Closing Gitmo and Releasing Terrorists Impeachable?

    in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

    Posted

    Yes, but this Gitmo bs is the overreach you mention. He says he is going to close Gitmo regardless.

     

     

     

    "Not only is that absolutely immoral, but it is also illegal. Congress has passed more than three laws making it illegal for the President to release Guantanamo terrorists, and yet he does it anyway.

    Now, his plan is to release half of them back to the Middle East and integrate the other half into American prisons, which is also ILLEGAL!"

     

     

    With the climate of everyday Americans and ever increasing terror attacks ....................Let him try it.

     

     

    Let me paraphrase President Jackson's famous quote-------

     

    "...the decision of the Supreme Court President has fell still born,

     

    and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia America to yield to its his mandate,"

    Obama is explicitly breaking the law.

     

     

     

    I do not disagree 3rd,

     

    I wish that I could see a way to make that clear to the part of America that doesn't see the danger of too much executive power.

     

    (It only seems to matter if The Donald gets it) ....................If the left uses it its okay I guess.......... -_-

     

     

    But it is my opinion that at this point, the country is better served by simply stopping Mr. Obama's overreach for 45 more weeks,

    and not giving him any other platform to preach from.

     

    Let him fade away to the "Back Tees" of history.
