Political Correctness in the military, part 2

Political correctness in the military

 Earlier this month we presented an article that espoused the notion as to whether “political correctness” may have had a direct result on the travesty at Fort Hood. We quite openly believe that if a person is acting out with their ideological beliefs and is conflicted about what he believes as opposed to what he does, sure – there can be a real problem.

However the point of our previous article as well as this one is to illustrate how gaining “protected status” under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment – has reached a point where it simply is not assisting those who need protection in this country. (Please see previous articles by clicking here.)

Sixty-three percent (63%) of U.S. voters say political correctness prevented the military from responding to warning signs from Major Nidal Malik Hasan that could have prevented the Fort Hood shootings from taking place.

A new Rasmussen Reports national survey shows that just 16% disagree and do not believe political correctness kept military authorities from possibly stopping the killing of 13 people and the wounding of many others in the November 5 incident. Twenty-one percent (21%) are not sure.

Older Americans are more suspicious of political correctness than voters under 40. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major political party overwhelmingly believe political correctness held the military back. That view is shared by 49% of Democrats while 23% of those in the president’s party disagree to think political correctness kept the military from responding to warning signs from Hasan.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of Mainstream Americans think political correctness prevented the military from responding before the attacks took place.

New reports say authorities were aware of suspicious behavior and comments by Hasan, a devout Muslim, but no action was taken against him, in part because of concern that there might be an appearance of anti-Islamic bias. Both President Obama and the Army chief of staff urged Americans not to jump to conclusions about the cause of the shootings just after they took place.

Seventy-three percent (73%) of Texas voters say Hasan should receive the death penalty if he is convicted of the massacre at Fort Hood. Military prosecutors have charged Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder. If convicted, he is eligible for the death penalty.  Quick question: Why do you suppose that voters over the age of 40 are more suspicious of political correctness?

 

What is this administration up to now?

Ahem...notice anything unusual is this photo?

What is this administration up to now? What is congress up too other than doing precisely the opposite of what the American people don’t want? An overwhelming majority of Americas do not support the health care bill that the Senate recently voted on pursuant to having a debate about it. Dear Senator Reid: Why are you insisting to push this legislation through the Senate when the American people simply and clearly don’t want it? 

Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June. (Rasmussen Reports, click here.)

And ladies and gentlemen what is up with this ‘war tax’ that is isolating the rich to pay for a war? Goodness people wake up – and that goes for representatives and senators in Congress as well as every member in the Obama administration. It’s even got a name: “Share the Sacrifice Act of 2010.”

Here’s one for Rush, O’Reilly, Oprah, Buffet, Gates, Bloomberg, Perot, Murdoch, and all of the lesser known wealthy Americans: If we were in your income category the first thing we’d do is inform the current no-brainer administration that you are already paying approximately 80% or more of federal income taxes. Secondly, we would file for equal protection under the 14th amendment and the Equal Protection Clause.

For just a refresher – the Equal Protection Clause is that clause engineered by the writers of the 14th amendment in post-Civil War America. This is the clause that every group this side of normal goes with into court to receive “Protected status” and any criticism of that class is of course referred to as being discriminated against. This is the true path to making money; or at least for special interest groups who whine over the slightest bit.

So what makes the rich any different? There are far more Arab-Americans, Muslim-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, LGBT-Americans than there are truly wealthy people in this country. So why not claim your protection status before this government who has already hit you up for health care, income taxes, and redistribution of your wealth – the heck with them – get your protection!

This current spend-thrift Congress will surely take down America as we once knew it. They don’t care if we own General Motors, or AIG, or Chrysler, or large portions of Bank of America or any number of things we’ve already purchased and legally own.

“We the People…” is who you are supposed to be representing. Therefore how could anyone with a reasonable mind even entertain the notion of having a civilian trial in New York when the majority of the nation is against it; furthermore, the people of the great state of New York don’t want terrorists tried in their state either (55%).

When was the last time you contacted your “duly elected congressional officials office”?

 

Civilian trial for enemy combatants?

Tells it like it is...with flare!

We love this guy! Charles Krauthammer does not mince words or stumble for political correctness. He is one of the last surviving ’shoot from the hip’ kind of man who is able to combine intelligence, knowledge, morals, ethics, and common sense into one brilliant sentence, after sentence, after… 

We need to do some hat-tipping here: First to Michelle Malkin for recommending that we ALL have a look at the website or twitter site, “Keep America Safe” and then with compliments to KAS, on to Charles Krauthammer who as mentioned – has presented the greatest logical argument for not having a civilian trial for terrorists. Just a couple of excerpts from his editorial in the Washington Post:

“For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the “propaganda of the deed.” And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 — not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic. And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life — and KSM, a second act: “9/11, The Director’s Cut,” narration by KSM. So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system, where the rule of law and the fair trial reign. Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) “do not get convicted,” asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb Kohl. “Failure is not an option,” replied Holder. Not an option? Doesn’t the presumption of innocence, er, presume that prosecutorial failure — acquittal, hung jury — is an option? By undermining that presumption, Holder is undermining the fairness of the trial, the demonstration of which is the alleged rationale for putting on this show in the first place.

Furthermore Mr. Krauthammer defines the detrimental significance of having a civilian trial in New York:

Apart from the fact that any such trial will be a security nightmare and a terror threat to New York — what better propaganda-by-deed than blowing up the courtroom, making KSM a martyr and turning the judge, jury and spectators into fresh victims? — it will endanger U.S. security. Civilian courts with broad rights of cross-examination and discovery give terrorists access to crucial information about intelligence sources and methods.

Charles Krauthammer tells it like it is – without politics, without rhetoric, AND with common sense. (Please continue reading this electrifying article, click here.)

 

American compassion = laughable weakness

Who was this written for?

Beyond any question of doubt whatsoever, we couldn’t be happier and more pleased with the interview and question and answer period with Vince Flynn with insights given about his new book, The Pursuit of Honor, which unbeknownst to many is Mr. Flynn’s 11th best-selling effort. Therefore, no rocket science required here folks; this guy is definitely on to something. 

According to Vince Flynn – and this makes tremendous sense – the real “Hero’s” in our nation are those who serve in intelligence (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, and other sources ‘behind the scenes, in the trenches’ low paid government employees – as well as the men and women of our military. Furthermore, having defined who the hero’s are, Mr. Flynn takes no time in identifying who the enemies of the USA are as well. First the terrorists who blow-up things and number two (ready?), are the bad politicians that allegedly run the country.

On matters concerning civilian trials for enemy combatants:

Of course Flynn refers to the recent decision by Attorney General Eric Holder to have a trial for these terrorist enemies who have already admitted their guilt and have made it well-known their wishes to be put to death as in martyrs for their cause. Clearly Flynn sees the media extravaganza that will not be good for New Yorkers who have carried more than their psychological load; furthermore, in strict agreement with Flynn we believe that New York can ill-afford this travesty and why should they be bearing the costs?

As for today we feel we are unable to contain this information until tomorrow, so here goes: Vince Flynn believes that if it is American compassion that is at stake here vis-a-vie a civilian trial in New York he believes that this is seen as a laughable weakness in hard core Islamic ideology.

Flynn simply states that if these defendants want a grandstand to preach about American ways then he says: “Bring them up to New York with their attorney’s; meet in chambers and have the judge ask them the questions they have already answered: One, do you admit to your involvement in the acts of war on Sep 11, 2001? “Yes.” Two do you want to die – as a martyr – as your form of punishment? “Yes.” Good says the judge…now pick the tallest building scheduled for demolition and prepared to die as you admittedly killed others…

On matters concerning Islam, Muslims, and Political Correctness

This portion of the interview just set us aflame! Mr. Flynn espouses that most of the difficulty with Islam is an internal struggle of ideologies – however, not to be mistaken as a Christian — Islamic war by any means; in fact Flynn states this is not abut religion. Flynn describes that this particular conflict is at the heart a struggle between various factions within Islam.

Flynn points out that Muslims in this country have gained ‘minority status’ which in turn makes it illegal to criticize them; albeit on the basis of discrimination. He further drives home the point that those who are the gravest offenders are the same ones who provoke one to engage in their controversial beliefs. Ladies and gentlemen this is precisely what the desired result of being politically correct is. (To see interview click here.)

Global Warming Hoax

Global warming?

Well we are certain that we’re not the first ones to espouse that the entire notion of “Global Warming” has been a carefully designed hoax of all hoaxes. Yet just for the sake of our peace of mind and reporting truthful news and events we’re going to say it anyway – We told you so! 

Take caution friends when this Nation’s elected officials try to steal more money from you – the taxpayer – with overwhelming stories of and doom and gloom methodology about how the Earth is coming to a disastrous end through some story concocted by people who look to make big profits selling you everything from ‘carbon credits’ to other outlandish manure. (Please for additional reading, click here.)

Clearly some are having a lot more influence than others in these contrived matters. However remember the expression – “You can fool some of the people sometime…but you can’t fool all of the people all the time”? It is getting clearly evident that photo-shopped pictures of helpless polar bears floating out to sea have seen their time – or even better, the infamous 15-minutes of fame in the global warming society is coming to a screeching halt.

New York Times journalist, Andrew C. Revkin, reports on some latest findings regarding the validity of “Global Warming:”

Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.  The e-mail messages, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views. Drafts of scientific papers and a photo collage that portrays climate skeptics on an ice floe were also among the hacked data, some of which dates back 13 years. “In one e-mail exchange, a scientist writes of using a statistical “trick” in a chart illustrating a recent sharp warming trend. In another, a scientist refers to climate skeptics as “idiots.” “Some skeptics asserted Friday that the correspondence revealed an effort to withhold scientific information. “This is not a smoking gun; this is a mushroom cloud,” said Patrick J. Michaels, a climatologist who has long faulted evidence pointing to human-driven warming and is criticized in the documents. Stephen McIntyre, a blogger who on his Web site, climateaudit.org, has for years been data used to chart climate patterns, and who came in for heated criticism in some e-mail messages, called the revelations “quite breathtaking.” (Please for additional reading, click here.)

We believe that there is more data available about humankind’s propensity for littering regarding “space junk” that could cause problems that should be addressed now, rather than cooking legislation based on a hoax. Furthermore, we believe that an early protection system could be explored and possibly implemented vis-a-vie meteors and asteroids on track to collide with earth.

In fact there are so many things that can be done with the trillions of dollars of taxpayer funds that ostensibly are better than where they are being used presently.

 

Jefferson saw it…

We believe that there can be no mistake about what our present day government is up too; albeit, through governance and economic philosophies, or socio-behavioral paradigms it is difficult for us – at this time in our Nation’s history – to see the full faith and credibility of those who are responsible, moreover, accountable to the American people.

In matters of national security at a time when needed the most; concurrent with irresponsible spending, spending, and more spending in the hopes of stimulating an economy that left on its own will weather the storm; however, the ruling elite’s destructive means is ignoring not only the seed for growth, but also the mere soil with which it nurtures.

Make no mistake about this precept! The Founders of this great Nation and the Framer’s of the originating documents were aware of some unconscionable behaviors and actually wrote out the impact of such: the following are quotes from Thomas Jefferson.

Although a republican government is slow to move, yet when once in motion, its momentum becomes irresistible… Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis C. Gray, 1815

We mention this quote by Jefferson as a means of acknowledging that time is the essential ingredient to successful legislation, ergo, stimulus packages, health care reform, and welfare of the people.

Again to Thomas Jefferson:

At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account… Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31, 1823

Our brief exposition of what Mr. Jefferson was in fact writing to Monsieur A. Coray about and his concerns:

Courts were originally designed to be small just as the centralized government was originally designed to be small and ostensibly accountable for nothing – which describes not only the judicial system or the Supreme Court with lifetime appointments but also the legislature and the executive; that laws are made by precedent, or by drawing the life out of everything except those who have a vested interest, being those special interest groups or those who hold office; therefore, the Constitution is the last item to be consulted when constructing laws. Yet far more egregious is in the notion that those who make the laws and who are elected to office are busily consuming the very substance that employs them…that being the people who are governed. Finally according to Thomas Jefferson humankind is not made to be trusted, especially when secured against the accountability of his misgivings.

 

America: What is your government up too?

We heard it live today in an interview with Sen. Orin Hatch (R-UT) the unadulterated statement that we’ve been waiting for from someone on the Hill. During his interview with Bill Hemmer of FOX News’ America’s Newsroom, Sen. Hatch constantly referred to initiatives that ostensibly got the health care bill passed in the House of Representatives; however, before even addressing as to whether or not the Senate will debate the issue, Sen. Hatch made mention of those two-biggest lies that he – as well as his colleagues – sincerely hope will not be messed with.

The two issues are health care for illegal aliens and federally funded abortions. While in the process of closing the interview, Mr. Hatch stated: “I hope the American people revolt.” And we are at the point of total agreement with Sen. Hatch.

Ladies and gentlemen all one needs to do is look at the language, moreover the lies that are being told everyday albeit from the White House, Department of Justice, Nan Pelosi and ‘her health care bill’ and the other inside the beltway corrupt-o-crats.

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops:

In order to get the health care bill passed through Nan Pelosi’s House, more than 25 Democrat representatives had to be reassured that federally funded abortion was a big fat NO! For weeks, the Catholic Church has asked its U.S. parishioners to work toward ensuring that tough language restricting federal funding of abortion is included in healthcare overhaul legislation.

But as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the church’s governing body in America, tries to rally its forces outside Congress, it is also using its leverage within.

It used that influence this month as the House of Representatives prepared to vote on the healthcare legislation. Negotiators for the church worked with lawmakers to add an amendment to ensure that federal insurance subsidies do not wind up funding elective abortion. Doesn’t it seem that the “Almighty Clause” found nowhere in the Constitution, ‘Separation between church and state’ is a convenient colloquialism when one wants to gain from it?

AG Eric Holder up to ‘Old tricks’

Do yourselves a remarkable favor and drop by Michelle Malkin’s blog immediately! In her lead story she addresses some rather significant conflicts of interests vis-a-vie Team Obama and starring Attorney General Eric Holder and many, many members of the Culture of Corruption. Michelle has actually included an excerpt from her best-selling masterpiece which bears the same name. This is must reading! Get a grip on what is really going on in America’s government.

 

A new law against homosexuality in Uganda could set a trend

Hurrah for homophobia

There is an old Indian proverb and belief that one day the foreigners will end up killing themselves — and most of the planet off – then the Indians will be free again…paraphrased Indian proverb. Well one could think that the nation of Uganda may just be ahead of some other nations on our planet.

   VISITORS to Uganda have rarely been starved of sex if they have wanted it. But there are limitations. The country’s mix of vigorous heterosexuality and religiosity has made it one of Africa’s more homophobic places. Now, say advocates of sexual freedom, a proposed new law against homosexuals will push Uganda back into a grim kind of Victorian age, Africa-style.

‘Fine,’ say members of Uganda’s parliament, who believe they are leading a global battle to defend the traditional family. Foreign embassies, they reckon, are unduly pro-gay; the UN is alleged to be “smuggling” in “agents of immorality”. “Carnal knowledge against the order of nature”, as one MP put it, is imported by corrupt white men and women. As for us – we do not believe this to be a racial slur, albeit a mere distinction of people. “

Oh really..? What next!

Well then…we’re wondering if you’ve had enough lies out of this government yet. In fact, there has been so many that we just want to focus on some of the more recent blatant disgusting [no misspeaking!] lies that is, if you don’t mind.

Obama Says Health Care Reform Won’t Cover Illegal Aliens

During his speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday evening, Pres. Barack Obama directly addressed the issue of health care coverage for illegal aliens. The President said his proposal would not extend benefits to individuals in the country illegally. A Rasmussen poll released on September 7 shows that 83% of Americans favor requiring those who apply for government-sponsored, tax-payer funded health care subsidies to prove that they are U.S. citizens. A similar poll conducted in June showed that 80% of Americans were in favor of requiring proof of citizenship.

Reality of the Issue

House passed by a slim 220-215 margin a health care reform bill (H.R. 3962) that excludes the restrictions necessary to prevent illegal aliens from accessing benefits. This set up a potential conference committee battle since President Obama and the Senate support tighter restrictions.

The House bill would allow illegal aliens to use the new health care “exchange” and would not require verification to keep illegal aliens out of the other parts of the proposed federal health care system.

Abortion amendment for no federal funded abortion in health care

The abortion amendment was tacked on to the House health care bill and was a key factor in securing the votes of moderate Democrats before the bill was approved by a narrow margin last weekend. The amendment, authored by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-MI., went beyond preventing the proposed government-run plan from covering abortion to restrict federal subsidies from going toward private plans that offer abortion coverage.

Reality: Obama Will Try to Strip Abortion Language from Health Care Bill

It's getting ridiculous

White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod suggested Sunday that President Obama will intervene to make sure a controversial amendment restricting federal funding for abortion coverage is stripped from final health care reform legislation.

In doing so, the president would be heeding the call of abortion rights supporters like Planned Parenthood that have called the White House their “strongest weapon” in keeping such restrictions out of the bill.

Recovery.gov announces new or saved jobs

It’s no secret that Recovery.gov is laden with errors on stimulus money data, but this is downright ridiculous.

The nonexistent 15th congressional district of Arizona managed to “create or save 30 jobs” with $761k in stimulus funds. So who’s to blame? Recovery.gov believes it is “human error.”

Rep. David Obey, D-WS, who chairs the powerful House appropriations Committee stated earlier that, “The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes.”

Reality:

Misspeaking again fellows? Outright telling lies again, people? “We report what the recipients submit to us,” said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board; however what about checking your sources?

We could continue but for now we feel we should stop. Please critically think about these three issues and let’s all ask ourselves, “Is this the kind of ‘Change’ we were led to believe was going to happen?”

 

Are you ready for the fight of your lives?

Less expensive, more effective!

We are sure that those involved will not soon forget the ridiculousness of the 2007 Comprehensive Reform Bill and what our ‘big brother’ government tried to pull over on us.

For most of our readers – believe it or not – came to the open mistrust of government during those proceedings. 

Americans – many for the first time – began to see the unadulterated corruption that is going on in both houses of Congress.

So here we are again, most of us anyway, drawing a line with what the government created, allowed to continuously happen, and rendered the old Immigration and Naturalization Service defunct and incapable of operating. Therefore, given the campaign promises to just about every special interest group involved – the groups are now restless demanding amnesty for their actions.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano made the push for a mass amnesty while speaking to the American Center for Progress. Napolitano said that her department has worked hard to increase enforcement and strengthen the border, but the real solution is for reform.

The Center for American Progress is a liberal public policy research and advocacy organization. Its website describes it as “… a nonpartisan research and educational institute dedicated to promoting a strong, just and free America that ensures opportunity for all.”

Citing the significant number of its staff and former staff that have been appointed to positions in the Obama Administration, Time magazine recently declared that there is “no group in Washington with more influence at this moment in history.”

Napolitano was invited to speak at the center that’s led by John Podesta. Her remarks not only laid out her goals for a mass amnesty, but she also argued on behalf of business groups and unions who need reform to fill jobs.

“Let me be clear: when I talk about “immigration reform,” I’m referring to what I call the “three-legged stool” that includes a commitment to serious and effective enforcement, improved legal flows for families and workers, and a firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here. … We know that one-sided reform, as we saw in 1986, cannot succeed. During that reform effort, the enforcement part of the equation was promised, but it didn’t materialize.

Three-legged stool, huh? First mistake is in the notion that a ‘three-legged stool’ would even stand. Unless it is so designed to function in tripod fashion it will never work. However, let’s look and examine these individual legs, shall we?

One, a commitment to serious and effective enforcement; who is this person trying to fool? Janet Napolitano has attempted to have section 287(g) lessened or outright cancelled for those local law enforcement agencies to work cooperatively with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials!

What else you sellin'?

Two, improved legal flows for families and workers, [of illegal aliens] for those who are here who have broken our laws. Far be it from us – until we can have a department that is dedicated to immigration and ethnic affairs only – we quite openly could care less about law breakers and their demands for family reunification, period. In short that part of illegal immigration is simply not this country’s problem.

Three, a firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here; herein lays the key to what DHS and the POTUS’ motivation really are: “Firm but fair” is what they refer to as amnesty. And they are going to try and do this behind our backs – America, prepare for the fight of your life!
