Palestinian Supporters Advocate for Jews to “Go Back to the Ovens”

Friends, in a Pro-Palestine rally in Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters used rhetoric to advocate for the extermination of Israel and Jews from this Earth. 

From FOXNews, Pro-Israeli and Pro-Palestine supporters squared off outside a Federal Courthouse during rush hour.  The two groups shouted back and forth common rhetoric that is used between supporters between the two parties.  The pro-Palestine faction called the Israeli invasion into Gaza a crime, while the pro-Israel group called Hamas and the PLO a terrorist organization.  

As the protest continued and crowds grew, one woman in a hijab began to shout curses and slurs that shocked Jewish activists in the city, which has a sizable Jewish population. “Go back to the oven,” she shouted, calling for the counter-protesters to die in the manner that the Nazis used to exterminate Jews during the Holocaust. “You need a big oven, that’s what you need,” she yelled.

The organizer, Emmanuel Lopez, of the protest called the woman’s comment’s insensitive, but did not condem them.  Lopez then went on to call the opposing protesters “barbaric, racist Zionist terrorists.” He also stated that “Zionism in general is a barbaric, racist movement that really is the cause of the situation in the entire Middle East.”

The woman who called for the returning of Jews to the ovens was not the only one urging the slaughter of Jews.  Many chants of “Nuke Israel” were heard, urging for a answer to the holocaust that the Israelis are allegedy perpetrating in Gaza.

Al-Qaida Second in Command Blames Obama for Gaza

Ayman al-Zawahiri lashed out at President-elect Barack Obama in a new audio message Tuesday, accusing him of not doing anything to stop Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip.  The audio could not be confirmed, but originated on a terrorist used website.

Al-Zawahiri said that it was Israel’s late Christmas gift to Obama that he let it happen now instead of when Obama was in office.

“This is Obama whom the American machine of lies tried to portray as the rescuer who will change the policy of America,” al-Zawahiri said, according to SITE. “He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection.”

In other news of the conflict. Secretary of State Condolezza Rice spoke before the U.N. and urged a long term cease fire based on Hammas to stop the eight years of firing Rockets at Israel. French President Nicolas Sarkozy urged Syria on Tuesday to exert pressure on its ally Hamas in order to help end the fighting in the Gaza Strip between the militant Palestinian group and Israeli forces.

 

Study Says NY Leg. Still Broken

Yesterday’s Democrat & Chronicle contained a headline story entitled: Group Says New York’s Legislature ‘Still Broken’. Well, there’s a news flash for you!

I doubt anyone who even moderately follows politics would be surprised at that conclusion. It’s one of those studies that makes you want to ask “how much did they spend to figure that out”.

Part of the story did surprise me, however. That was the part that stated that New York is “on the verge of its best chance for reform in decades”. The reason for that assertion appears to be the fact that the Democrats are about to control the entire State government for the first time in decades. The co-author of the report issued by NYU Law School’s Brennan Center for Justice opined that “there is the promise of substantial reform from the likely new incoming Senate majority”. According to the D&C, he was referring to the “possibility” that Democrats will ”follow through on pledges they have made to make Senate operations more open and democratic”.

This is the same kind of wishful thinking that leads many to contend that Barak Obama will take a centrist path in his Presidency. Is there any evidence to support either notion? I’m not aware of any.

And, if you had any hope it could be true, read to the end of the story which reports that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver “took sharp exception” to the study. So Sheldon doesn’t think there’s any need for reform. Another news flash!

Let’s face it. The only thing that kept Albany this side of Byzantium was the fact that the “three men in the room” were not all in the same party. There were political checks and balances that are gone now. Sheldon Silver has moved from being one of three to the big number one in Albany. Nothing is going to happen in Albany now unless Sheldon Silver thinks its a good idea.

With all due respect to the NYU study, my bet is that legislative reform is not high on his agenda.

 

 

Senator “Party Principles” Malcolm Smith Has Sold Out to the Gang of 3

To anyone who actually believed that Democrat Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith was speaking truthfully when he so ardently stated that he was not going to sell out Liberal Democrat principles in order to succeed in his power grab to become the new Senate Majority Leader, well, you’ve been duped again.

Yesterday, New York Daily News reporter Irene Jay Liu ran this story on how it appeared that Smith was indeed expected to be successful in buying out the members of the Gang of 3 in exchange for their votes for him to take control as leader.

According to the story, here’s what the Gang of 3 was able to broker with Mr. Not-Gonna-Sell-Out:

Sen. Carl Kruger is expected to become chair of the Finance Committee, but not the souped-up committee he was offered before by Smith. He won’t get the $6 million budget or separate staff, according to two Senate Democratic sources.

Sen. Pedro Espada is expected to become chair of the Housing Committee, according to two Senate Democrat sources. The Housing chairmanship was something that was initially proposed by the “Gang” for Sen. Martin Dilan, who has maintained that he isn’t part of the “Gang.”

Espada is also expected to get another conference position that will enable him to hold hearings on “urban policy issues,” according to a Senate Democrat source. (Perhaps to provide a platform for a Bronx Borough President election bid?)

Sen. Ruben Diaz is expected to become chair of the Aging Committee, according to a Senate Democrat source. Another source said that Diaz may become chair of the Aging Committee, but that another thing he’d get was a role, possibly a leadership role, in the creation of the new Senate Hispanic Caucus,

And remember how Mr. Party Principles, Malcolm Smith, claimed he wasn’t gonna sell out to the Gang on the most important issue to the Democrat Party, the issue of gay marriage.  Well, in her reporting Liu leaves us with this teaser:

As for the big issue that Diaz wanted addressed in the Senate fight - that of same-sex marriage - stay tuned

Here’s what the new Democrat Majority Leader has for you, again from Liu:

When asked about whether there was an agreement made about the fate of Sen. Tom Duane’s bill that would legalize same-sex marriage, Senate Democratic Leader Malcolm Smith evaded the question, saying only that “no discussion was made” on that subject in the conference meeting. (Which was not the question asked).

While Smith said this, Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr. looked visibly upset. The member of the so-called “Gang of Three” who withheld his support of Smith over the issue of same-sex marriage, said that he was upset because there had been discussion about the issue, contrary to Smith’s statement.

So, same-sex marriage will not come up for a vote under the new Democrat Majority.

I can see the letter now:

“Um, thanks a lot for all that money the gays and lesbians gave me in order for me to become the boss of the State Senate, but we’re not gonna be passing the gay marriage bill anytime soon.  See, we kinda need more time, more seats in the Senate and well… more of your money.  But hang in there.  I know I said it was gonna be our first priority, but you know how these things go.  Thanks again.  Your Friend, Malcolm.”

Was THAT the change you were expecting?

I’m really impressed with Liu.  I didn’t think anyone in the media was going to cover all of the broken promises, back peddling, lies and shady dealing by the State Senate Dems because they’ve always given a pass to Sheldon Silver and the Assembly Dems, but it looks like Irene may prove me wrong.

We’ll see how long it lasts.

SCOTUS-POTUS: The Clock is Ticking

By way of update, these key developments: Congress meets in joint session on January 8th to count/certify the Electoral College votes. On the same day, the Broe vs Reed suit, whose intention it is to set aside the election of Obama in the State of Washington, will be heard by the Washington Supreme Court. On January 9th, the Berg vs Obama suit will got to SCOTUS conference where it will be decided if the case will be granted certiorai (full hearing by all nine Justices). State Rep. MIke Ritze (R-OK) is still urging the Oklahoma congressional delegation to formally challenge Obama’s eligibility. And there is even a  report, so far insufficiently substantiated for my taste, that Rep. Ron Paul may challenge Obama’s constitutional eligibility on the floor on Congress. We shall see. In any case, one Senator and one Representative are needed to properly contest the election and to lay the matter before SCOTUS.

Since legal challenges and single-minded investigations on the matter of Obama’s eligibility will continue to plague Obama well after Congress certifies the election results on January 8th, it seems only a matter of time before a critical mass is reached and a constitutional crisis envelops us all. On top of an economic meltdown, gargantuan bailouts and trilliion dollar spending programs, I hope America can at least be spared a constitutional upheaval as well.

In my humble opinion, I am honestly unconvinced that this matter will be handled objectively, responsibly, judiciously and in keeping with the Constitution. Why? Because, for the most part, “we the people” are asleep at the helm of state.

Many Constitutional scholars, both liberal and conservative alike, continue to persuasively and soberly assert that Obama, born of an alien father of UK citizenship, is not, as intended by the Constitution, a “natural born citizen” and, thus, per Article I, Sec 2 of the Constitution, is, by intent of the Framers, ineligible to assume the office of Commander-in-Chief. Of course, only SCOTUS can properly resolve any disputes regarding this assertion once and for all.

Aggravating the eligibility question is the awful possibility of Obama’s having been born in Kenya–outside the jurisdiction of the United States altogether. If true, then in accordance with prevailing law, Obama’s mother was too young when Obama was born to confer American citizenship upon him. If this is the case, Obama would be unquestionably ineligible for the office of the President. Even if most loosely interpreted, on constitutional grounds no one could reasonably defend his eligibility if this were the case. In effect, he would be a “usurper”, a “Celebrity-in-Chief”, and nothing more.

Most disturbing to me, Obama’s powerful legal team continues to stonewall any attempts to procure Obama’s birth certificate in Hawaii which would clarify the matter of his citizenship once and for all. To me, and absent any evidence to the contrary, this surreptitiousness on the part of the Obama Team suggests a foreign birth which, if true, would, as said, constitute a death blow to any claims of Presidential eligibility.

As you may recall, all that has been allowed the light of day is a Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) which is not only short on information, but which, at the time, could just as easily have been issued on behalf of persons born outside the United States. A notice of birth in a Hawaiian newspaper is even less informative, since a birth occurring outside Hawaii could have easily been published in the paper.

Though it appears that many objective and well-intentioned Constitutional scholars already believe that BHO is not a natural born citizen of the US and, is, therefore, ineligible for the office of POTUS, a foreign birth would render Obama absolutely, incontrovertibly ineligible. And, his being a Constitutional professor, Obama would surely know that.

Did you also know that since mid-December 2008 the Kenyan Government has reportedly imposed a “gag order” on Obama’s extended family in Kogelo, Kenya? I am double-checking the accuracy of that report, but from what I’ve seen already, it appears to be true. And, if true, why?

Why won’t Obama release his vaulted birth certificate in Hawaii and end this mystery? Why?

The manner in which the Obama Team has handled this matter is wholly irresponsible and suspect; and their arrogance has been very deeply troubling. Such does not bode well for the sanctity of American Constitutional law.

Just wanted to post this picture of San Fran Nan

Nancy Pelosi GoosedJust read the post by Richard Saunders and the other by Lemon Lyman about the Queen Bee, Nancy Pelosi wanting to muzzle the Republicans. I have this great picture of her as she sat down on Harry Reids thumb (by accident of course). I’d been wanting to use it on a post and thought I might as well publish it without giving any news about her. Sure she is a super lefty who wants Republicans muted, the Pope to endorse abortion and believes our military should be decommissioned. But we all knew that. I have been holding on to this picture for months now waiting for an opportunity to post it. However Miss America Nancy Pelosi is now failing to shock me with anything she does. So I thought I would just put the picture up and babble on about her. I will probably accomplish more than her after she is sworn in.

Dingell for Speaker

Friends, a whisper campaign is currently being undertaken within the halls of Congress is an effort to show the San Fran Nan, Speaker Pelosi that she is not the be-all and end-all of the Representatives of the people.  Many moderate Dems who are distraught with Madame Speaker’s reforms taking power from the huddled masses, installing her disciples in key positions and shutting out all views other than those that coencide with her liberal positions. 

A “Draft Dingell” campaign is being pushed by Democrats from moderate districts, the Blue-Dog coalition and many Republicans who are displeased with Minority Leader John Boehner’s leadership over the past two election cycles.  Dingell, the House’s oldest member was formerly the Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee until he was unceremoniously ousted by Pelosi backed California member Henry Waxman.  Dingell has served in the House since 1955.

A vote such as this would show that, while overwhelmingly Democratic, the United States House of Representatives will not be taken hostage by the liberal extremist views of Nancy Pelosi and her liberal mob.  The 111th Congress looks to be one of the most close-minded in recent history, one that will tolerate not opposing views and shutting moderates out completely.

It’s Official, Church of England Cannonizes Al Gore

We have all criticized Al Gore and his band of global warming fanatics for attempting to start a religious movement.  Well it has now been made official. In a twisted illogical global warming sense of way, the Church Of England has canonized Al Gore.  What was the cost you ask? A mere 150 million British Pounds that the church invested in AlGore’s hoax. You do the conversion to dollars and let me know,  whatever way it’s a lot of money.  There were interesting statements made by the church on things like green investment and environmentally sustainable global equity mandates. I did not notice any mention of God in the transcript though. Maybe the Church of England isn’t that kind of church?

GAYS VANDALIZE SAN FRANCISCO CHURCH

I received this from the Catholic League — it is unbelievable:

Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, in the heart of San Francisco’s gay Castro community, was vandalized over the weekend by opponents of Proposition 8, the California resolution passed by voters in November that rejected gay marriage. Swastikas were painted on the church and the names Ratzinger (referring to Pope Benedict XVI) and Niederauer (the San Francisco Archbishop) were scrawled besides the Nazi symbol.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue is asking Catholics nationwide to respond to this incident:

“In the wake of Proposition 8, innocent persons have been assaulted, churches have been vandalized, a white substance resembling anthrax was sent to the Knights of Columbus and to Mormon temples, supporters of traditional marriage have been branded Nazis, African Americans have been called the ‘N-word,’ houses and cars have been trashed, etc. Unfortunately, most of those in the gay community have been silent about these acts.

“Part of the blame for the latest attack goes to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Both Newsom and the Board have shown nothing but contempt for the First Amendment rights of Catholics. When crucifixes are sold as sex toys and Catholic sensibilities are assaulted by naked men in the street at the annual Folsom Street Fair, they say nothing. When gay men dressed as nuns show up at Mass-at the same church-they say nothing. But the Board was quite vocal about condemning the Catholic Church in 2006, something which led to a lawsuit triggered by the Catholic League and the Thomas More Law Center.

“For those who love to write about ‘root causes,’ let them ponder the guilt of these public officials. Moreover, leaders in the gay community show no leadership when it comes to denouncing incivility committed in the name of gay rights. This has got to end.”

Contact Mayor Gavin Newsom and ask him to finally condemn gay assaults on Catholics and other people of faith: gavin.newsom@sfgov.org

 

 

Franken Set to Steal Senate Seat in Minnesota

For a party that screamed and cried count all the votes, the hypocrisy democrats are showing is amazing.  Al Franken A.K.A. Stuart Smalley has shown that he is much more capable at theft than comedy.  Franken started the election down 215 votes and now he claims a 225-vote lead and suddenly the man who was insisting on “counting every vote” wants to shut the process down.

The irregularities in the contest and recount should make Minnesotans want to puke.

  • He’s getting help from Secretary of State Ritchie and his four fellow Democrat Canvassing Board members, who have delivered inconsistent rulings and are ignoring glaring problems with the tallies
  • Officials are supposed to mark as “duplicate” and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals.
  • Ramsey County precinct ended up with 177 more ballots than there were recorded votes on Election Night. In that case, the board decided to go with the extra ballots, rather than the Election Night total, even though the county is now showing more ballots than voters in the precinct
  • Then there are the absentee ballots. The Franken campaign initially howled that some absentee votes had been erroneously rejected by local officials. Counties were supposed to review their absentees and create a list of those they believed were mistakenly rejected. Many Franken-leaning counties did so, submitting 1,350 ballots to include in the results. But many Coleman-leaning counties have yet to complete a re-exam
  • Once again democrats do not want to count the ballots of soldiers overseas. This is reminiscent of Florida 2000 when Al Gore unsuccessfully tried to steal the election.

Then before the recount throw on top of this the number of ballots that kept showing up in the trunks of democratic election workers cars.  There is a number of statisically odd additions where only franken gained and no one else down the line picked up votes caused by machine errors.

This is a small list of problems, throw on top of them the facts that came out during the campaign where he did not pay taxes and witheld health care payments from employees that had paid into the system, what you have is a real hypocrite, or as I like to call them “Liberal Democrats”.
