Expect to see a celebration of communism take place at the National Cathedral in Washington DC!

Apartheid, as a political structure, was wrong.  Oppression is always wrong.  It is antithetical to Freedom.   However, as much as Apartheid was antithetical to freedom of the majority – so to is Mob Democracy antithetical to freedom of the minority.

NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE:   The left needs a boost in the U.S.   Their progressive ideological systems, and subsequent sales pitches, are fraying under the now visible weight of consequence – most notably with Obamacare.
Expect to see a significant attempt to *use* the death of Nelson Mandela to pump up the associated progressive causes; the Che Guevara of Africa.
The claims of victimization, inherent in the ideological goals of the progressive left, need emotional boost to maintain their disconnect from the sunlight of actual and truthful consequence.     Nelson Mandela’s death presents an opportunity to return to the use of emotionally connected Cultural Marxism to advance their cause.
It will be large, it will be massive, it will be substantial – and it will take place using the full weight of the progressive left, the professional grievance industry, labor unions, socialists, communists, marxists and all forms of radical left-wing ideology. (more…)

Sheesh,…. Just when you may have thought it was ok to put the neon big lettered 1980’s white-guilt quilt/blankie back into a hermetically sealed box, South Africa’s version of Communist Che Guevara, Nelson Mandela, dies.

Dust off the Bob Geldof albums, wait…. no, that’s Sir Bob Geldof now…  see if you can find your Bono U2 cassettes, try to remember the words to “We Are The World”, and get ready to cry while listening to sorrowful Paul Simon VHS replays with tribal drumbeats and elephant cries.   How’d that James Taylor tune go again?…
Ya see, predictably we have to look forward to ten days of historical rewriting, and  simultaneously avoid mentioning the explosion of African AIDS and a never lost bromance between Muamar Kadaffi, Fidel Castro, and Winnie Mandela’s insta-meal ticket. (more…)

More on this entire interview later, but just listen to the salutation:  “loyalists to you”

When Obama was proclaiming he was going to be “transparent”, I doubt the listeners actually understood what he was saying. For Dear Leader Obama, it’s always about Dear Leader Obama.
First we start with the “I”, “I”, “I”, speech about how Obama himself was the really important figure, the epicenter of anti-apartheid sentiment in South Africa, and how “he” thought of that other, now dead, Mandela guy.  (skip the video to the 2:00 minute mark)

The speech was followed up with this tweet from the White House showcasing how it is really Dear Leader Obama who deserves to be recognized today upon the passage of the other dead guy.

Wisconsin is one of those really progressive regions where the media talking about Black on White violence is strongly discouraged.  
Wisconsin is also the state which brought forth the collegiate “White Guilt” classes.
(PennLive) – With his blackened eyes and broken nose, Tim Bessette may just be the country’s latest victim of an urban crime wave known as the “knockout game.” Speaking from his hospital bed in Milwaukee this week, the 53-year-old says he’s lucky to be alive.

He remembers getting off the bus, walking down the street and encountering four youths. The next thing Bessette knew, he was sucker-punched in the nose. The world went black, and Bessette woke up on the pavement. And as he did, he heard the youths running away, joking and laughing. (more…)

BOSTON –  President Obama acknowledged on Thursday that he lived with his Kenyan uncle for a brief period in the 1980s while preparing to attend Harvard Law School, contradicting a statement more than a year ago that the White House had no record of the two ever meeting.

Their relationship came into question on Tuesday at the deportation hearing of his uncle, Onyango Obama, in Boston immigration court. His uncle had lived in the United States illegally since the 1970s and revealed in testimony for the first time that his famous nephew had stayed at his Cambridge apartment for about three weeks. At the time, Onyango Obama was here illegally and fighting deportation.
On Thursday, a White House official said the press office [Robert Gibbs] had not fully researched the relationship between the president and his uncle before telling the Globe that they had no record of the two meeting. This time, the press office [Jay Carney] asked the president directly, which they had not done in 2011.  (link)

 MINNESOTA – The politics of faux victimization are spiraling out of control at a community college in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where several white students, their black professor and irritated administrators have one-upped each other with complaints, reprimands and now a lawsuit.
The trouble began in English professor Shannon Gibney’s Introduction to Mass Communications class at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. Though the class ostensibly has little to do with race, Gibney considers herself an activist on racial issues, and frequently invokes white privilege and oppression during class time, according to her students. (She has previously taught classes on race and gender.)
Recently, several white students announced that they had had enough with Gibney’s incessant racial screed. They interrupted her during a lecture, and said, “Why do we have to talk about this in every class? Why do we have to talk about this?” according to Gibney’s account of the incident, which was recorded by the City College News. (more…)

[Via Mediaite]  MSNBC daytime host Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC following controversial remarks he made about Sarah Palin, MSNBC president Phil Griffin announced on Wednesday.
“Martin Bashir resigned today, effective immediately. I understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC,”  Griffin said in a written statement. “Martin is a good man and respected colleague  — we wish him only the best.”

[…]  After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of MSNBC, I have tendered my resignation,” Bashir wrote. “It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments.” (more…)

Is the bloom off the ruse?   Still too early to tell, and the mellennials have repeatedly shown a remarkable propensity to be duped and manipulated (see: Sandra Fluke et al) so until we see consistency from Jon Stewart’s watchers, meh.
WASHINGTON DC – The Obama thrill is gone among America’s millennials, those aged 18-29, just a year after they helped the president win a second term.

A new and shocking poll from Harvard University’s Institute of Politics released Wednesday found that younger Americans are so disgusted with President Obama, Congress, and the troubled Obamacare system, that 47 percent support recalling the president and just 29 percent are planning to sign up for health insurance.
“A critical factor in the election and reelection of Barack Obama, America’s 18- to 29- year-olds now rate the president’s job performance closer to that of Congress – and at the lowest level since he took office in 2009,” said Harvard Institute of Politics Director Trey Grayson.
How bad? Obama’s approval rating among millennials is just 41 percent. Even young blacks are tiring of the president, with his approval rating among African Americans dropping from 84 percent seven months ago to 75 percent today.  (read more)
