Was s'posed to be "Fry in Hell Mumia"

+ =

Last week third grade children in New Jersey were told to write get well wishes to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. Just dropped off these letters to comrade Johanna Fernandez. My 3rd graders wrote to Mumia to lift up his spirits as he is ill. #freemumia — Marylin (@Marylin_Zuniga) April 5, 2015 The teacher behind the letter writing campaign wrote “The mind of a child is where the revolution begins.” Marylin Zuniga? I know these lib educators are bad, but—really?  Maybe she got a memo instructing her students to send We hope you fry in Hell you rat bastard killer," and misread it?

Britain in the 50's

nostalgia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqVwc6nrHjI Through the eyes of newsreel cameras and advertising of the time, we present an affectionate look at the way we were in the 1950's: the way we dressed, the way we laughed (and cried) - even the way we holidayed. In 1950, Britain was working hard to recover from the Second World War. Yet, as the decade went on and the economic conditions improved - prompting PM MacMillan to tell people of Britain "You never had it so good" - a cascade of wonderful gadgets found their way into British homes, and families began holidaying on the beaches and promenades. By the end of the decade booming Britain was in overdrive with 5.5 million cars on the road, the opening of the M1 and the arrival of the first Mini. The teenager had also come of age with new dance crazes and flamboyant fashions interspersed with bizzare hairstyles - anything to make them stand out in the crowd! This programme also focuses on the events that shook the world during the decade; the death of George VI in 1952 heralding a new Queen, Elizabeth II, and her Coronation in 1953; the conquering of Everest: the first four minute mile; the last woman to be hanged in Britain; and the tragic Munich air disaster. (You Tube lede)  I especially like the commercials.  Just a few will remember Britain in 1900, but your chilluns will be astounded to learn that moving pictures captured any of it.  If they watched it.  They won't, because it's not in color.

Antepenultimate penultimates

TWO AND ½ THINGS Amused me. Last week I wrote "I just watched the penultimate episode of Justified, dammit."  So yesterday I sat down to watch the final episode.  Of course it was not the final episode; that will be next week.  So there's that, but while I'm at it—I thought that antepenultimate episode sucked.  Maybe because, like when you thought your girlfriend was going to break up with you so you started finding fault with everything she did as a defense mechanism ... that.  Except in real life doing that will always become a self fulfilling prophecy. Nothing, however,  can save Justified. Dammit. Aside: In that same post I discussed BLACKLIST.  Tuesday we finished series 1.  How much did we like it?  Enough to pay Amason $38 for series 2.  We've only done that once before (the last White Collar series).

Harry's "Band"

Thug Culture

Why Isn’t Harry Reid Suing ... Just my guess folks, but from the get-go it looked like a case of Harry being paid gobs of cash to pass legislation for some interest group (Indian Casinos?) and didn't deliver before losing his Senate Majority chair. When approached by the pissed off client(s), he could not—or would not—refund the cash. Needed persuading.

When Progressives are in charge                                                                  Michael Bloomberg donates another $30 million to Sierra Club campaign to kill coal plants  By Herman Cain   --American Politics The only good news here is that Michael Bloomberg is out $30 million. I guess that's money he can't give to gun control groups. But the rest of the news is all bad. By giving another $30 million to a Sierra Club effort to kill coal plants (he gave $20 million previously), Bloomberg is continuing to support a destructive effort that's getting results Remember boys and girls, when you hear today's progressive populist rhetoric about the rich having 99% of the  money; it's people like Bloomberg they're talking about but don't know it.

GOPers Sabotage?

HERE'S UR SABOTAGE WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans who sent a letter to Iran’s leaders in an unprecedented attempt to undermine nuclear talks are siding with America’s enemies, President Obama and Senate Democrats charged Monday. “It’s somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran,” Obama told reporters Monday. “It’s an unusual coalition.” Senate Democrats went further. “Let’s be clear,” Minority Leader Harry Reid said. “Republicans are undermining our commander-in-chief while empowering the ayatollahs.” [Daily News] "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." Frederic Bastiat I'm like most of you by feeling that I've fallen through a wormhole into some parallel universe that I don't understand.  My instincts are derivative of thousands of years of man's need to act forcefully against threats to him and other cave dwellers.  When an tiger tries to eat me, I kill it or it kills me, so I want to strike out,  but some of the cave dwellers would rather die than let me. Below, in the scroll, are a culled list of quotes I turned to for some guidance. One really smacked me in the face. "Thousands of trained killers are plotting to attack us, and this terrible knowledge requires us to act differently." Televised speech to the Nation, announcing the formation of the Department of Homeland Security” June 6, 2002 George W. Bush (b. 1946) 43rd President of the U.S. Smacked in the face because I was guilty of buying into, and defending Bush's populism in violation of everything I had heretofore professed. The very name "Department of Homeland Security" was screaming in my head, and I ignored it.  The "terrible knowledge" is that the last thing we should have done is act differently, and we are paying dearly for it. [Scroll] "Remember, democracy never last long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy that did not commit suicide." John Adams. "In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." Justice Louis Brandeis "I predict future happiness for Americans if the can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson "There is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits."

Feb. 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg, the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), speaking to the U.S. Senate. "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." Former CFR president, David Rockefeller, at a 1991 Bilderberger meeting. "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Emergency Procedure The Life You Save ...  You're welcome

Obama is no good, whatever

Obama is no Chamberlain (and not in a good way)

The Stu Tarlowe and Skoonj machine offer this: We've been awash of late in seemingly irresistible comparisons between Barack Obama and appeasement's poster boy, Neville Chamberlain, the man who in 1938 sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler in order to preserve "peace in our time".   Here's a piece in today's American Thinker by Jeff Lipkes, which says, "Let's retire Neville Chamberlain's umbrella."    Lipkes is by no means the first to suggest that the Chamberlain/Obama comparisons are flawed (I've been among those pointing out the distinction between naiveté and evil intent). Nor is he the first to compare Obama to Andreas Lubitz, the suicide pilot/mass murderer of Germanwings Flight 9525 (see The Big Cheese, Friday, March 27, 2015).  Read the entire AT piece. But the first part of it is mere set-up, a bit of a history lesson. Here is the "money quote":   But let’s remember that Hitler never chanted “Death to Britain.”  Hitler had not organized terrorist attacks on British forces, nor were his proxies killing civilians across the world.  He did not proclaim that the annihilation of a British ally was “non-negotiable.”   And he was not a militant believer in a political religion whose followers had twice invaded and ravaged Europe, a religion whose followers today profess their disdain for Western values and Western culture. Like Andreas Lubitz, the President knows what he’s doing.  He does not believe the Iranians, the world’s third greatest oil exporters, are interested in generating nuclear energy.  He does not believe the mullahs will fail to cheat on any agreement, or fail to use the revenue flowing in with the lifting of sanctions to fund global terrorism.  He does not believe that there will be much will to re-impose sanctions on the part of countries profiting from trade with Iran. What the President is depressed about as he takes the country lower and lower is America’s arrogance and America’s role as a neo-colonialist exploiter. The prospective agreement with Iran is not appeasement.  It’s suicide. At least we have 85 days to break through the cockpit door, not 13 minutes. (Stu) “If you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you’ve automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in.” The original Godwin I'll go further than Jeff Lipke and say that the Obama/Chamberlain comparison is entirely baseless.  Yes, both were bad leaders, but at least Neville Chamberlain, like many Progressive leaders, had a "good heart."  He was however, like the others, just plain stupid.  Obama?  Let's sum up this way. There are none among you who can say you ever heard about Godwin's Law until Obama came along. And when you did it had been modified to read “If you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you’ve automatically lost the argument” That's because comparisons to the Obama administration and the Third Reich are so abundantly similar that they ought scare the hell out of even his Liberal backers, and certainly Hollywood JINO.  Obamunists had that meme in their holster from day one for a reason. Even there, however, Lenin/Stalinist was probably the better comparison, but the media have since the 1920s ignored Communism, so Hitler has the better monster recognition.  Plus, Chamberlain wasn't born and educated in Berlin,  and he was a Christian.  Okay, like Obama he did also hold British  citizenship.
