This is NOT a hoax:

‘WASHINGTON: US Senator and chairman of Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, John Kerry, appealed on Tuesday for cementing US ties with the Muslim world with a two-way exchange of professionals like teachers, city planners, and public health workers. Kerry introduced a bill calling for a three-year pilot programme to draw such workers from Muslim-majority countries to be picked by the US State Department. “This legislation is designed to help build professional capacity, strengthen civil society, and improve ties between the United States and Muslim-majority countries,” he said in a statement. These citizens picked would be 21-40 years old and could also come from civil society, including journalists, leaders of religious-based organisations, or employees of nonprofit organisations, Kerry’s office said in a statement.’           source

‘Semper Fidelis: Jerry McConnell at Guadalcanal’

‘It was 68 years ago today that Jerry McConnell landed with the 1st Marines on a beach at Guadalcanal, in 1942.  It would be over four months before Jerry got to take a deep breath, and step back from the constant strain of fighting the Japanese.
When he departed “the ‘Canal,” he weighed 35 pounds less than when he left America.  He was weak from dysentery, wracked with malaria, and had seen and done things that he never imagined before Guadalcanal.  He was 18 years old.’         source

The hypocrisy of leftards:

”Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Caucus Immigration Task Force, accused Republicans who want to study the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship of “attacking” unborn children.
Appearing on CNN Friday, Gutierrez said talk of holding hearings on the amendment was an effort to “demonize children in the wombs of their mothers.”   source

Riight..of course, ripping them out of the womb and chucking them in a bucket is just fine by the leftist “pro choice” crowd. But they mustn’t be “demonized”. Nossir.

A burr under their saddle.

‘Bloggericide: Ohio Officials Charge Blogger With Campaign Violations
Well, folks, this is bound to happen more and more as time rolls onward in this New Media world of ours. A blogger is in trouble with local Ohio officials who are trying to Shut him down using a badly applied campaign finance law all because he has been critical of county officials on his blog. That’s right, a county board is trying to silence the free political speech of a local Ohio blogger because he is critical of them.
……The reason the Board is going after Corsi is because he publishes on his blog critical assessments and lists of local officials that he calls “R.I.N.O.S.” Board officials feel that because he does not affix his name to his blog posts he is violating the transparency rules.
However, Corsi is just an independent blogger and is not a paid operative of any party or campaign and all his blogging expenses are paid for with his own funds.’  source

First Amendment rights are just fine so long as the exercise of them doesn’t seriously inconvenience our masters, for as long as it’s possible for them to sneer and write off the commenter as irrelevant or demented. But blogs are beginning to make a difference and we can expect more of this in the months ahead.

Don’t mess with Texas.

‘Newswatch: Energy says the EPA’s claimed authority to regulate ‘greenhouse’ gases has sparked an unprecedented feud with the State of Texas which has responded in language that is just short of grapeshot and gunpowder…’    Belmont Club

We may be seeing the beginning of a pushback by the States against Washington’s usurpation of power. Forget the courts–they belong to the liberal elite. Time for the people to get out on the streets and tell Washington to go piss up a rope. If State politicians claim that Federal money makes it necessary for them to cave, then get rid of those bastards too.

Al-America, here we come….

‘A New Jersey family court judge’s decision not to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him is sounding the alarm for advocates of laws designed to ban Shariah in America.
Judge Joseph Charles, in denying the restraining order to the woman after her divorce, ruled that her ex-husband felt he had behaved according to his Muslim beliefs — and that he did not have “criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault” his wife.’

What this robed moron has done to is find that islam trumps the laws of the United States. Muslims also believe all infidels should submit or be killed and that …well, you know what else. To be perfectly clear about this: CHRISTIANITY WOULD NOT BE A DEFENCE TO THIS BEHAVIOUR BUT BEING A MUSLIM IS!
Welcome to an America ruled presently by a self-appointed elite…and soon by the primitive ideology they are enabling.

‘Jefferson was Right to Fear the Courts’

That’s a lot of handbags…

22ft!  ‘The beast was shot in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia’s Northern Territory back in 1997 and was the biggest of three saltwater crocodiles terrorising locals and attacking their cattle and goats.
It was killed in Manangoora, around 600 miles south west of Darwin, by Jeida Francis’s family after it started targeting their animals.’   Source

‘Shariah Comes to the Supreme Court’

‘The Senate should not confirm Elena Kagan, because her views render her the first Supreme Court Justice who actively favors the introduction of Shariah law into national Constitutions and legal systems. To excuse themselves for voting for her confirmation, Senators of both parties have told themselves this vote for Kagan’s confirmation will result in a harmless swap: the substitution of one liberal justice for another.
The reality is far more threatening and unprecedented in American history. A vote to confirm Elena Kagan’s nomination will bring a liberal, pro-Shariah justice to our highest Court. And if she is confirmed, her behavior as Obama’s Solicitor General indicates she will refuse to recuse herself on any Shariah-related decision but instead will lead the charge to legitimate Shariah law in America.’              source

Look at Britain and Sweden, America and you’ll see where the slightest accommodation of islam will inevitably lead you. The Kagans and Sotomayers will destroy America.

Time to “encourage the others”…?

NZ: ‘Spending by the Government’s top bosses includes lavish meals at top  Wellington restaurants, new credit card figures released today show.’

The headline is a little misleading– the spending wasn’t just at “Wellington’s top restaurants”.  NZ is a tiny Pacific country with a population of a little over 4 million and of those four million, very few are actually earning the money to pay for these excesses. Those few are being squeezed by the welfare bludgers on one hand and a cozy “in” club of so-called public servants with an extravagant entitlement mentality on the other.
