“It is hard not to have total contempt for a political culture that thinks the picture [of Michelle Obama] is a useful contribution to rescuing 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by jihadist savages in Nigeria. Yet some pajama boy at the White House evidently felt getting the First Lady to pose with this week’s Hashtag of Western Impotence would reflect well upon the Administration. The horrible thing is they may be right: Michelle showed she cared – on social media! – and that’s all that matters, isn’t it?..”
and
Boko Haram also murder boys. Where’s the ‘selfie’ protest for them?

‘a robe-wearing politician.’
I’ve seen nothing to change my original opinion that this Pope is an avowed socialist.
UPDATE:    Francis Porretto’s opinion on the subject.

Over at the esteemed Francis Porretto’s place. Brilliant!

‘DISTURBING photos have emerged showing at least one British airman smiling and giving the thumbs-up while posing with the corpse of a Taliban fighter.’
“Disturbing”…. another weasel word, like “inappropriate”. So a member of the military gives a thumbs up next to one of the dead vermin. You know, the same vermin who murder schoolchildren, mutilate little girls, skin captives alive, rape little boys……..
But shiny-assed chair-polishing senior brass and a gaggle of liberal lawyers find a thumbs-up “disturbing”!…may God help us.

Obama Administration: Boko Haram Has ‘Legitimate Concerns’
‘…The idea that a devout Muslim group that slaughters in the cause of Islam practically every day and whose very name means “Western education is sinful” has “legitimate concerns” exposes the dangerous motives of the pro-jihadist Obama administration…’
So–abducting Christian schoolgirls and selling them into slavery and murdering many thousands of innocent people is an expression of “legitimate concerns” according to the traitorous, integrity-free bastard scum infesting the White House and the State Department.  These people should be put on trial.

UPDATE:    ‘Selfies won’t stop Boko Haram’
UPDATE2:  ‘Unsecured Libyan Weapons Went to Boko Haram’

And why the most dangerous man on Earth isn’t a terrorist or even a dictator,he’s a French economist.Read it and weep-

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117655/thomas-piketty-interview-economist-discusses-his-distaste-marx

So his policies are Marxist and he’s a member of the French socialist party…..but he’s not a Socialist? Sure he isn’t,rightttt 

The Christchurch rebuild. Is this mere incompetence?

Thanks Mawm for the tip.

‘ FEC chair warns that conservative media like Drudge Report and Sean Hannity face regulation

Government officials, reacting to the growing voice of conservative news outlets, especially on the internet, are angling to curtail the media’s exemption from federal election laws governing political organizations, a potentially chilling intervention that the chairman of the Federal Election Commission is vowing to fight…’
The pretexts will vary, but (conservative) free  speech WILL be “regulated”.

Col. B. Bunny:
‘..In our lunge for cheap foreign goods, we seem to have not noticed that the factories we moved overseas to produce those goods were located in a communist dictatorship that happens to be a strategic competitor of ours. By what lightning bolt of strategic foresight did that happen?
If our mortal enemies were to have devised our manufacturing and free trade policies, how would those policies differ from the ones we have now?..’
