The Politics Of Envy

As a complement to Sundance’s article about the budget and “other peoples’ money”, this is a repeat post.

“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
“Romney never created any jobs. He only created wealth for his partners. There is a big difference.”

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

The Nazis Were Socialists, Not Right-Wingers

Why both are presented in the media as “right-wing” when both Nazis and Fascists had socialist roots. Klavan and Whittle wonder whether nazism and fascism might be more similar to today’s progressive movement in the Democratic Party than to modern conservatism. Does President Obama have more in common with Mussolini than Thomas Jefferson? Find out.

Wow – Maryland Public Middle School Takes 11-Year-Olds On School Trip To Hear Louis Farrakhan Speech…

What did the middle school kids get to hear?

…“As long as they kill us and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they’ll keep killing us. But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”…

Reverse the races and speakers and contemplate what would happen in the media.
louis-farrakhan(Via BizPac Review) A Maryland public school took students as young as 11 to hear a speech by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan last month that included calling white people “crackers” and threatening to “tear this goddamn country up!”
According to EAG News, Farrakhan’s Nov. 22 speech was the keynote of an event at historically black Morgan State University that focused on fostering grievances with the theme “Re-Claim, Re-Pair, Re-Form, Re-Produce, – REPARATIONS NOW!”

“OFFICERS DOWN ….”

ismaaiyl-brinsleyLocal journalists are reporting that the gunman who executed two NYC police officers as they sat in their patrol car has been identified as 28 year old fugitive Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who allegedly resided in Baltimore, and had traveled to New York City with the specific intent to kill police officers as a type of race based hate fueled twisted “payback” to avenge the recent deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Brinsley is reported to have approached the two officers as they were sitting in their patrol car in the notorious crime ridden Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, New York and began firing rounds into the vehicle before fleeing on foot to the closest subway station where he later committed suicide.  The two officers were transported for Woodhull Medical for treatment, but sadly, both had lost their battle for life as of 5 pm tonight.

Obama: "We cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States"…

Says the President who calls U.S. media and tells then what they can and cannot say about his policies; while his Attorney General, Eric Holder, labels U.S. journalists as terrorist co-conspirators (James Rosen).
MaobamaVia BUZZFEED – President Obama criticized Sony for pulling “The Interview” at his end-of-year news conference Friday.
“I think they made a mistake,” Obama said.
“We cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States,” he added.
Sony pulled “The Interview” after threats of terrorist attacks at screenings of the film. Obama contrasted the move with the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, when the city decided to continue the annual event despite the terror threat.
“We can’t start changing our patterns of behavior any more than we stop going to football games because there might be the possibility of a terrorist attack,” he said. (read more)

The Tale, and Value, of Two Different Reports – CIA Interrogation Report VS. Bowe Bergdahl Report…

To quote the Obama administration: “Call it the stupidity of the American voter, or whatever“, but for obvious reasons the beltway oxygen is being sucked into telling the story of the Senate Committee Intelligence report on “Enhanced CIA Interrogation Techniques”, while ignoring the fact that another pentagon report has yet to surface.
Bergdahls with Obama14226752277_4b563163cd_o
As the CIA report is breathlessly awaited by the leftist storytellers, and media – but I repeat myself, almost no-one is asking about releasing the Army investigation into Bowe Bergdahl which has been complete for three months.
Obviously one report, the CIA report, allows a story to be told which will disparage U.S. interests; the other report, Bergdahl, represents a political risk.  To the latter, back in October as the investigation was announced to be complete:

[…] Army spokesman Wayne Hall said the review process likely would be lengthy, and that “the Army’s priority is ensuring that our process is thorough, factually accurate, impartial, and legally correct,” according to the report.

The Army is looking into whether Bergdahl had deserted his post in Afghanistan or was away without leave before he was captured, which would be violations of, and punishable, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (link)

Alas, the CIA interrogation report appears to hold a more favorable opportunity for story telling: (more…)

The Divider In Chief – President Obama Calls America A "Deeply Rooted" Racist Nation….

It only took two days for what we anticipated  to actually hit the headlines.  President Obama going “all in” during Black Entertainment Television (BET) interview:

..“When you deal with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society you have to realize that it’s going to take some time and you just have to be steady”….

BINGO – AS EXPECTED – Mike Brown and Eric Garner as tools: – President Obama wants, and needs, to make the case that the deaths of these men were not isolated occurrences, but part of a larger pattern in which law enforcement officers were hostile to the human rights of African Americans; ergo a pattern that is rooted in hundreds of years of similar hostility including centuries of slavery.
So his argument is that not only individual agents of American law enforcement but the larger American legal system is white supremacist.
There’s a reason for this: (more…)
