David Simon, a former police beat reporter in Baltimore, MD and creator of the popular television series, “The Wire” implies that Libertarians in America are “greedy” and decries Libertarianism as a “juvenile” idea that he “just can’t get past….”
David Simon pontificates about “Libertarianism” with deliberate misdirection and disparaging ad hominems, yet still expects to be taken seriously by anyone with the ability to think critically.
Clearly upset that Fabian ideology is not taking root in the 20-somethings community, while the Libertarian movement is growing as an identified political affiliation in the cohort, he gave a speech in Australia in November, 2013 at the “Dangerous Ideas” conference declaring “Libertarianism in my country is now being taken seriously as an intelligent mode of political thought… it’s astonishing to me… ” (around the 8:00 – 10:00 mark) and then goes on a screed to deliberately disparage and attempt to dismiss the Libertarian school of thought – including the assertion that Libertarians are “anti-government” (as Moyers chuckles along in agreement…) Fraidy cat!
ALABAMA – (wkrg) […] Victim Mr. Carroll Jordan – A generous man to everyone who knew him—even lending his car to those who needed it.
“Tried to be a good neighbor.”
But that kindness was struck down when two men and a woman walked through his open front door, pulled him from his favorite chair, beat and stabbed him several times. One of those men was 18-year-old Robert Campbell who was arrested this morning after being found at a relative’s house. Jordan’s neighbor actually interrupted the crime.
Initially the politically correct and fearful authorities did not want to admit this was a crime of specific intent. However, once they were going to release the bus video they needed to back-track and admit the actual motive. If they did not admit the obvious their PC-ism would have been widely recognized by the public.
FLINT, MI – Police say a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver was punched in the face as part of the so-called “knockout game” that’s gained national attention.
The “knockout game” has been blamed for attacks in several cities and involves suspects punching strangers for no reason.
The Flint bus incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, when a man was attacked while driving the bus.
The driver suffered several facial injuries, according to police. Another teen filmed the incident as it took place.
Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie.
“This was planned, orchestrated and filmed,” he said. (more…)
Ann Coulter – As House Republicans prepare to sell out the country on immigration this week, Phyllis Schlafly has produced a stunning report on how immigration is changing the country. The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it’s too important to wait.
Leave aside the harm cheap labor being dumped on the country does to the millions of unemployed Americans. What does it mean for the Republican Party?
Citing surveys from the Pew Research Center, the Pew Hispanic Center, Gallup, NBC News, Harris polling, the Annenberg Policy Center, Latino Decisions, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hudson Institute, Schlafly’s report overwhelmingly demonstrates that merely continuing our current immigration policies spells doom for the Republican Party.

You can watch the video to see the familiar “knockout attack”.
However, what you won’t see mentioned is the fact the victim is white and the perpetrators black. There’s another version of the video available at this link.
Police now say two suspects have been arrested and investigators are looking for a third. They also say this definitely appears to be a part of the so-called knockout game.
“It’s a little disturbing to see kids engaging in this activity they thinks it’s funny,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Stanford said. (more…)
DETROIT (WWJ) – He’s been dubbed the “Blow Torch Rapist” and Detroit police say he’s struck again.
The latest attack occurred just before 7 a.m. Wednesday in a largely abandoned neighborhood near Plymouth and Meyers roads the city’s west side.
A 43-year-old woman told police she was leaving a gas station when a man came behind her and put a gun to her head. The woman said her attacker forced her into a car, ripped off her clothes and began burning her face with a blow torch.
Police say the victim stabbed the man in the eye with a screwdriver and was able to get away and call for help. She’s currently hospitalized in stable condition. (more…)
Suckers! The reparations wealth transfer from the hard working white middle class to the well connected race hustling class continues. We don’ have to prove nothin’ ….Whatcha gonna do about it .. just Holder saying it’s so MAKES it so … Hope! Change!
$1B coerced from “racist” lenders ….. and we’ve “Only Just Begun” …..
From Investor’s Business Daily:
“…..So “victims” were never actually identified. That’s why the complaint has to estimate that Ally discriminated against “approximately” 100,000 African-American borrowers.
More shocking, civil-rights prosecutors never actually checked the creditworthiness of those borrowers. That’s right, they never looked at credit scores, down payments, debt or other key risk-related factors banks consider to set interest rates. Not for blacks, or for supposedly “similarly situated” whites.
So how in the world can Justice claim “Ally’s specific policy and practice are not justified by a legitimate business need?”
It really can’t. That’s why it relies on statistics to “prove” such policies had a “disparate impact” on minorities, while arbitrarily finding those disparities so “significant” they can’t be explained by chance.
Arbitrary, because neither Justice nor CFPB will reveal its threshold for “significant,” despite repeated bipartisan requests from Congress.
The Credit Rating service Fitch notes that it may be more than just a desire to extort from the banks which lend in the auto market:
Fitch also notes that CFPB does not have jurisdiction over auto dealers and their practices. Actions taken against lenders could be an indirect way to regulate dealers.
A look through the CFPB “Advisory Groups” listings will show a “who’s-who” of Progressives with tentacles to well known fraud front groups, such as ACORN.
The official news release for the latest shakedown , er, “settlement” states it will consist of several parts: (more…)
Throughout America, black teens run wild; police refuse to “serve and protect”, media not interested in analyzing any potential “trends” or identifying the violence as targeted and racially motivated “hate crimes”.
Teens randomly attacking people on Rainier Ave.
An hour earlier police said the same teens ransacked and terrorized customers at a Rite Aid off Rainier. Seattle police said officers aware of problems in the area but are not doing any special patrols.
In fact, the Ethiopian church’s pastor said the police didn’t even ask them for their surveillance video.
A copy of the police report *briefly* flashed on the screen during the TV report confirms that the perps are all black males and females, and the victims white, but the news media does not once mention race, just “teens” committing “seemingly random” attacks. The media did not find it important to note that the surrounding area (Rainier Valley) is 83% non-white; but the victims are overwhelmingly white, however, they did express that the neighborhood “doesn’t have the best reputation”.
A black woman interviewed is dismissive, chalking the mob assaults up to “teen peer pressure” (Oh! well, okay then! Moving on ….)
You know what is needed? A “renewed commitment $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ….” /s/
Maggie’s Notebook […] In Oslo, Norway there is a Muslim-rape epidemic with 100 percent of the rapists being “non-western males,” with 9 out of 10 attacks against Norwegian women. These statistics are said to be documented by Norwegian police. (Learn more about the Rape Jihad HERE)
NOW…. Imagine – The college students are white, the ad shows a black woman welcoming back the students, and subsequently the students/alumni of the college begin to attack the company because they dare use a black woman in their ad.
How would the story of that race-reversed example be reflected in the media ? (more…)
