The typical prog tolerance exposed.  Belafonte willing to lock up anyone who does not agree with him, his philosophy or ideology.   This is the real underbelly of the progressive left- they will demand tolerance for their opinion when in the minority, but as soon as they take power, in any form, immediately they move to control everyone.

(Via GWP)  Enlightened Marxist Harry Belafonte was on with pal Al Sharpton this week.  His advice for Obama was to imprison opposition like a “third world dictator.”

Previously, Belafonte called President Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” while praising Marxist tyrant Hugo Chavez.

Let’s pause for a moment and evaluate recent events and recent claims by this President Obama [aka Dear Leader] of a Safe/Secure America under his watch:

Last night North Korea successfully launched their first ever 3-stage Intercontinental Ballistic Missile placing “something” in near earth orbit. North Korea has nuclear weapons ya’ know.

Yesterday from the border region of Afghanistan/Pakistan al-Qaeda’s #1 Ayman Al Zawahiri sent a video message to the salafists in Egypt to rise up off their prayer mats and support the sharia constitution by Muslim Brotherhood leader President Morsi.  “You must meet the request of the Egyptian people for Sharia rule in order to attain dignity and pride,” Zawahiri said in his video

That’s the same Egypt we just approved to get twenty brand spanking new F-16 fighter jets.

Also yesterday in West Africa, specifically in Mali, the freedom reform Prime Minister was forced to resign after al-Qaeda forces took control of the military and performed a coup de ta. al-Qaeda now controls the country.  Soldiers carried out a late-night arrest of Mali’s prime minister at his home here, forcing his resignation early Tuesday and casting new doubt on plans to chase out radical Islamists who control much of this troubled West African nation.

I doubt you could find a more apropos example of hypocrisy than comparing the media coverage of the leftist union behavior in Michigan against the ever-false media claims of violence from the Conservative Tea Party which remains mythical and non-existent…..   

[Stella Writes]  In November there were two union-backed initiatives to change the Michigan Constitution; both failed. One would have given unions the constitutional right to collective bargaining in our state, which meant that “right to work” could not be passed here.   The unions spent millions, but lost.

Our governor [Snyder] has, in the past, said that “right to work” wasn’t a priority for him, and he felt that it was divisive. Because of the ballot initiatives backed by the unions, he has seen that they will do everything possible to push forward the power of unions, so he changed his mind on backing RTW, and today signed legislation passed by the Michigan senate and house.

Right to Work advocate and conservative voice Steven Crowder is punched in the face by IBEW union member Tony Camargo.   The union was attempting to tear down a Right to Work supporter tent with women and elderly people still inside.

(Via CNN) On Tuesday evening. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, signed the legislation, which allows workers at union-represented employers to forgo paying dues.

Thousands of people, many of them union workers, gathered outside the statehouse, chanting and holding signs as snow fell.At least three school districts were closed as teachers traveled to Lansing to protest.

There are 23 states which have right-to-work laws, mostly in the South and western plains states, where union membership is relatively weak. Nationwide, union membership stands at 11.8%. (more…)

Remember this:

Well here’s another one – Obamacare Pre-Existing Condition Fee To Cost Companies $63 Per Person – Your medical plan is facing an unexpected expense, so you probably are, too. It’s a new, $63-per-head fee to cushion the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers.

Employee benefits lawyer Chantel Sheaks calls it a “sleeper issue” with significant financial consequences, particularly for large employers.

“Especially at a time when we are facing economic uncertainty, (companies will) be hit with a multi-million dollar assessment without getting anything back for it,” said Sheaks, a principal at Buck Consultants, a Xerox subsidiary.

Based on figures provided in the regulation, employer and individual health plans covering an estimated 190 million Americans could owe the per-person fee. (more…)

Now this story has a common, yet underreported twist.   It begins with three women, Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig,  together with at least two children (discount trainees) shoplifting at a local Wal Mart store. 

Now, this was not their first 10 finger discount rodeo.  Earlier this year,  Ms. Shelly Frey (pictured in purple – yet not at the Willy Wonka parade) plead guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and agreed to never enter any WalMart as part of her plea arrangement.

However, the lure of WalMart’s steep unadvertised discounts was too much for Ms. Frey to withstand, and with the allure of holiday shopping all around, she succumbed to the aforementioned free stuff process.  

So off to the WalMarts they head, big empty purses at the ready.   Only this time an off-duty police officer (Po-Po as in cop) named Mr. Campbell was working Part-Time as store security and he carried his service revolver.  It was clear to everyone that the deputy was law enforcement.

“He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,” [Police Spokesperon – Gilliland].

When Shelly, Tisa, and Yolanda were spotted stuffing their purses Mr. Campbell was notified.  The three amigos bolted out of the store, one whacking Mr. Campbell with her purse as they, made their escape.  Campbell followed.  The three shoppers jumped in a car with at least two kids and attempted to make a getaway.  Somehow Mr. Campbell accidentally shot Ms. Shelly “Free Shirts and Meat” Frey, in the neck, during the escape.  She died at an apartment complex a little while later.

You might at this point be saying: “Hello !!…. Crump, Sharpton, Jackson must be en-route” in this story somewhere right?   Alas, you are mistaken.   Why? (more…)

But, but, but…….  they’re just boys.  Two 14-year-old black teens have been charged with murder in the killing of a white 22-year-old woman, Kayla Peterson.    The boys followed her boyfriend from a neighborhood store, and they asked for cigarettes.  Reportedly Ms. Peterson said “no”, and then told them to “get a job”, at which time they pulled out two handguns and shot her dead.

PENNSYLVANIA – Two teenagers accused in a weekend shooting death in Beaver Falls will be  charged as adults, Beaver County police Chief Charles R. Jones Jr. said this  morning.

Todavia S. Cleckley and Marcus Velasquez, both 14, are charged with  conspiracy to commit criminal homicide in the killing of 22-year-old Kayla  Peterson of Beaver Falls.

Marcus is also charged with criminal homicide, two felony counts of  aggravated assault and two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment. (more…)

Additionally I just want to clear up one term I keep reading. (more…)

….”robberies and a rowdy brawl went down“, that’s what the reporter said.   Another said “this video is alarming“….  “the 44th street crew, gangs up on two female passengers to steal their iphones“…  The thugs took trophy video of the assault/robbery and posted it for bragging rights and “street cred” on their FaceBook page.

Watch how the media make particular attention to avoid the obvious.   The attackers were all black, and the two women attacked were white…..  Hmmm?  Patterns, patterns, patterns. (more…)

Yet for some insufferable reason the truth of this fiscal insanity cannot penetrate the blood brain barrier of infected congresscritters.

(CNSNews.com) – The federal government ran a deficit of $292 billion for the first two months of fiscal year 2013 – October and November 2012 – amounting to $4.8 billion of borrowed money each day.

“The federal budget deficit was $292 billion for the first two months of fiscal year 2013, $57 billion more than the shortfall recorded in October and November of last year,” CBO said in its Monthly Budget Review Friday.

This means that the government borrowed $4.8 billion for each calendar day so far in 2013.

If the Treasury Department restricted its borrowing to only weekdays, its per day average would jump to $6.5 billion per day thus far in fiscal year 2013. CBO reported that federal revenues rose by $30 billion – a 10 percent increase over last year, but spending increased more, going up by $87 billion or 16 percent.  (more)
