Alexander Rebuts Obama on Zimmerman/Martin
Via Cousin John
I have published two comprehensive critiques of this case, "Race Hustlers and Double Standards" last week, and "What Democrats Won't Say About Race" this week. Those columns challenge the Left's promotion and intentional distortion of the case as race bait, to maintain the unyielding sycophantic support of 95 percent of black voters. Without that low-information voter constituency, Democrats would win few congressional elections, and Obama would not be president.
Below, I rebut the key points of Obama's latest effort to politicize the Zimmerman/Martin case.
"It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." --Thomas Jefferson (1785)Barack Hussein Obama walked into a White House press briefing Friday afternoon, unannounced. He used the briefing to deliver his political assessment of the Zimmerman/Martin case.

The Law of Non-Contradiction Apparently Has Been Overturned in Washington, DC (Imagine that).
From Apologeticspress.com:
It is no secret that President Barack Obama strongly supports the pro-abortion platform. He has been a consistent advocate of pro-abortion policies for many years. It is also no secret that Washington, D.C. has some of the least restrictive abortion laws in the United States (“State Policies…,” 2013), allowing for abortion for any reason at any point during the mother’s pregnancy. Astonishingly, as Dave Boyer reported in the Washington Times in 2012,
“[t]he pro-choice Obama White House requires pregnant visitors to count their unborn child as a person for tours of the executive mansion” (2012, emp. added).
So, in our nation’s capitol, a pregnant woman can visit the President’s home, only if she first fills out paper work in which she counts her unborn child as a human being. Yet, that same mother is free to leave the White House, enter a D.C. abortion clinic, and have her unborn child murdered, under protection of a blatantly contradictory law that our President endorses.

If you missed the news coverage we’re here to fill you in.
A neighborhood watch man, an adult carrying a concealed weapon, shot and killed an unarmed teenage boy and was just found not-guilty by a jury after two days of deliberations.
“I just want to say thank you to the people who believed in me, who stood by me,” [the shooter] said following the verdict. “I still have my regrets for the [young boy’s] family; it’s still an unfortunate situation for them. I am happy that at least this chapter is over.”
As deliberations dragged on over two days and the jury asked for testimony to be read back, [the shooter] admits he didn’t know how it would all turn out.
“I was nervous of course,” he said. “You never know what direction this whole thing is going to turn, so I have no idea. But it worked out and I feel that justice (was) served today.”
[The boy’s] family members say justice wasn’t served. They say [he] was murdered in cold blood, that he’d never been in trouble and [the shooter] acted as judge, jury and executioner.
“The message is that we can all go out and get guns and feel anybody that we feel is threatening us and lie about the fact,” said [the boy’s] father. “My son never threatened anybody. He was a gentle child, his nature was gentle, he was a good person and he was never, ever arrested for anything, and has never been in trouble. He was 16 years and four months old, and he was slaughtered.”
[The shooter] says he acted in self defense when he confronted [the boy]…

“This is a war for the Constitution, it is a constitutional war.”
The
presidential messages of Jefferson Davis were filled with assertions of
the South’s legal right to secede and form a more perfect union, and
determine its own form of government to the letter of Jefferson’s
Declaration of Independence. Not losing sight of this, even in early
1865, one Confederate congressman stated that “This is a war for the
Constitution, it is a constitutional war.”
Bernhard Thuersam, Chairman
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission
"Unsurpassed Valor, Courage and Devotion to Liberty"

Southern Nationalism and Secession:
“Contributors
to Confederate periodicals explored parallels between the Confederacy
and other fledgling nations or independence movements – the Dutch
republic, the “young kingdom of Italy,” and the Polish and Greek
rebellions.
But
the authors were careful do dissociate the South from genuinely radical
movements; it was the conservative European nationalism of the
post-1848 period with which the Confederacy could identify most
enthusiastically. The Dutch struggle, an essayist in the July, 1862,
issue of the Southern Presbyterian Review explained approvingly, was
like the Confederate, for in both situations, “not we, but our foes, are
the revolutionists.”
The Daily Richmond Enquirer was even more explicit about the Poles:
“There
is nothing whatever in this movement of a revolutionary, radical or Red
Republican character. It is the natural, necessary protest and revolt
of, not a class or order, but an ancient and glorious nation, against
that crushing, killing union with another nationality and form of
society. It is . . . the aristocratic and high-bred national pride of
Poland revolting against the coarse brute power of Russian imperialism .
. . At bottom, the cause of Poland is the same cause for which the
Confederates are now fighting.”
The
Southern government welcomed a Spanish analogy between Napoleon’s
invasion of Spain and northern advances across the Potomac. British
recognition of the new Italian state encouraged [Robert] Toombs to see
parallels there, as well. “Reasons no less grave and valid than those
which actuated the people of Sicily and Naples,” he explained, had
prompted the Confederacy to seek its independence.
But
the nationalist movement with which the Confederates most frequently
identified was . . . the American War of Independence. A central
contention of Confederate nationalism, as it emerged in 1861, was that
the South’s effort represented a continuation of the struggle of 1776.
The South, Confederates insisted, was the legitimate heir of American
revolutionary tradition. Betrayed by Yankees who had perverted the true
meaning of the Constitution, the revolutionary heritage could be
preserved only by secession. Southerners portrayed their independence
as the fulfillment of American nationalism.
Secession
represented continuity, not discontinuity; the Confederacy was the
consummation, not the dissolution, of the American dream. A sermon
preached in South Carolina explained that “The doctrines of the original
Puritans were, and are, the doctrines of the Bible . . . but the
descendants of the Puritans have gone far astray from the creed of their
forefathers.”
[Southerners
strived] to avoid the dangerous “isms” – feminism, socialism,
abolitionism – that had emerged from Northern efforts at social
betterment. But the logic of Confederate nationalism . . . was to
prescribe significant shifts in the Southern definition of Christian
duty. Secession thus became an act of purification, a separation from
the pollutions of decaying Northern society, that “monstrous mass of
moral disease,” as the Mobile Evening News so vividly described it.”

Twenty-two Chinese teachers participating in the Global Classroom Alliance experienced a whole new world Thursday – Tarboro.“It is our first time to be here to get to know about Tarboro. We love this area,” said Shijun Naour, director of alliance development. “We’ve heard a lot and always wanted to come visit.”
The middle and high school teachers’ first stop was the Blount-Bridgers House, a local art/ history museum. The teachers took pictures at every turn and listened with rapt attention as Carol Banks, house manager, gave them a tour of the house, revealing tidbits of information about 19th century life in Tarboro.
“The peaceful tranquility and the environment bring me back to years ago. I feel like I’m walking into the history,” said one of the teachers, Xiang Ping Xie, as translated by Naour. “This is a cultural experience.”
Naour was enthralled not only by the house itself, but also by the environment, including the gardens on the back lawn of the home.
“It’s like walking into the history and also it’s the modern environment – the flowers and the art,” Naour said. “People in Beijing, we don’t have gardens. It’s totally a concrete world. There are 20 million people in Beijing. We all live in condos and apartments.”

Closing the 'Collapse Gap': the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US (2006)
Via WiscoDave
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am not an expert or a scholar or an activist. I am more of an eye-witness. I watched the Soviet Union collapse, and I have tried to put my observations into a concise message. I will leave it up to you to decide just how urgent a message it is.
My talk tonight is about the lack of collapse-preparedness here in the United States. I will compare it with the situation in the Soviet Union, prior to its collapse. The rhetorical device I am going to use is the "Collapse Gap" – to go along with the Nuclear Gap, and the Space Gap, and various other superpower gaps that were fashionable during the Cold War.
Well worth the read.

Surfin' DMZ
Surfing the 38th parallel is not like surfing in Malibu or Lower Trestles in California, or Snapper Rocks on Australia's Gold Coast. 38th Parallel beach -- one of the few available beaches on South Korea's east coast -- is a strip of sand about a third of a mile long, cut off on both sides by barbed wire-topped fences. Getting to the waves means carrying your board past the aging guard towers that dot the coastline. A person taking a nighttime stroll on the shore might find himself at the center of a spotlight, shining down from a sentry tower. It's all a far cry from the laid-back surf towns of California, Costa Rica, or Australia.
And yet more and more Koreans are finding that they like their surfing with a little bit of border tension on the side. Photographer and surfer Shannon Aston began documenting the growing surf scene at sahm parl hae pyeon, or 38th Parallel Beach, two years ago.
What started as mainly expats seeking better waves than popular Korean surf areas like Busan and Jeju Island in the south had to offer is beginning to come into its own, Aston says. Today, there are shops, camps, and hotels geared toward the surfers that come from Seoul year-round, even during the bitterly cold winter months.
The strange location -- about 37 miles south of the DMZ -- is never far from the surface, Aston says. "You can see the guard towers above you," he says. "There's barbed wire, you see patrol frigates coming out of the water, at the river mouth you'll see tanks, jeeps." While the east coast of the Korean Peninsula is mainly peaceful -- with far fewer of the skirmishes that flare up from time to time in the waters off the west coast -- the occasional North Korean defector might still turn up on an east coast beach. Troops still patrol the sands daily.
But the surf scene keeps growing, undeterred. These are, after all, among the top waves South Korea has to offer, Aston says. They just happen to be found between two strips of barbed wire.

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded “to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens of the United States and eliminate race prejudice.”
The organization claims it “seeks to remove all barriers of racial discrimination through the democratic processes.”
Well apparently the NAACP has erected a barrier of its own and blacklisted black conservative, Deneen Borelli.
Borelli, author of book Blacklash: How Obama and the Left Are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation, and Fox News commentator, and her husband, Dr. Tom Borelli, were told there was no room at the 104th conference when they tried to pay for booth space. Photos of the venue, however, clearly showed plenty of available space.
But there was no room at the inn for Doreen and husband, who might have upset the new NAACP meme of discrimination for all BUT black liberals who tow the race-baiters’ line.

The impressive haul came while Rubio was most vocal in promoting the Senate's Gang of 8 immigration deal. Big business and top GOP megadonors are among the most vocal advocates of the Senate bill and clearly rewarded Rubio's efforts.
Support from the GOP donor class is critical as Rubio contemplates running for President in 2016. Large donations from wealthy business leaders and Republicans are needed to maintain the SuperPACs and non-profits that are almost a requirement for a successful campaign.

Colorado judge refuses to block recall elections over gun control votes
Two Democratic Colorado state senators who supported gun restrictions won't appeal a Denver judge's ruling Thursday refusing to stop recall elections against them, meaning their political fate lies with voters now.
Denver District Court Judge Robert Hyatt ruled against Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Pueblo Sen. Angela Giron, who tried to have recall elections blocked because of missing wording on the petitions to recall them.
Morse and Giron argued the petitions were invalid because they didn't ask for an election for a successor, as detailed in the state Constitution. Hyatt ruled that the successor language isn't required and that the petitions were acceptable and shouldn't be thrown out on "hyper-technical grounds.

Student booted from U.S. college for favoring English!
An Arizona college is being sued for labeling a student a “bigot” and punishing her with a long-term suspension after she requested that English be used in her nursing studies class so she could learn the subject.
The action was filed against Pima Community College on behalf of student Terri Bennett, who alleged that school officials created a “learning environment [that] was hostile to her as an English-language speaker.”
In response, she asked the college – which operates, ironically, under Arizona’s English-only legal requirement – to help enforce the use of English in her class so she could continue to pursue her educational goals. However, according to the complaint, Bennett was targeted by the school with ridicule, attacks, threats and, eventually, a nine-month suspension.

the world through their “black eyes” and start looking at it through the
“blood of Jesus.”
If they did that, the pastor explained,
there would be no denying that the verdict in the Zimmerman was the
correct one. He also told those who are convinced that Zimmerman is

McCain & Rubio: Don't Know How Many Passports We Let You Forge
Via avordvet
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), a member of the “Gang of Eight” that helped write and pass the immigration reform bill in that chamber, said he did not know how many passports a person could forge under the proposed law before being charged with a crime.
On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked McCain, “Senator McCain, can I ask you a question about the Senate immigration bill? Under the bill, how many passports can someone forge before it becomes a crime?”
McCain said, “You’re going to have to ask our folks that, I don't think that we stand for any forgeries."
CNSNews.com followed-up, “Can you tell me why that would be part of the bill in the first place?”
McCain answered, “ I cannot tell you that it is part of the bill."
In the legislation that passed in the Senate, Section 1541 "Trafficking in Passports," it explains in detail that a person can be charged for a crime if they forge "3 or more passports," meaning that they potentially would not be charged if they falsely made only one or two passports. The criminal charges and penalties do not kick in until after "3 or more passports" are falsely made, issued, or transferred, etcetera.

Justice Department places 'hold' on Trayvon Martin trial evidence, including George Zimmerman's gun - which Florida law says must be returned to him
Via avordvet
Monkey see, monkey do.
The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial - including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer's gun. Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month's end. The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed.Zimmerman was acquitted of murder and manslaughter on Sunday in a Florida courtroom, but civil rights violations provide an exception to the U.S. Constitution's protection against double jeopardy after a defendant has been found 'not guilty' in a state or local jurisdiction. That's because if Zimmerman were tried in federal court, he would be charged with violating Trayvon Martin's civil rights, not causing his death. Asinine.
