A double standard on Facebook. No, really.

In case you were wondering why I dumped Facebook… or even if you weren’t wondering…their duplicity and back-to-front, upside-down, viewpoint on social issues was a big reason. Consider the following two news clips.

The first was how people complained about an anti-Semite page depicting Jews as blood thirsty baby killers. The second was a reenactment of the old 1950’s Coppertone commercial with the little girl’s butt exposed. The first one was okay. The second one got the page owner banned for a day until she agreed to delete the bare bottom photo. Really?

You might be the richest man in the world now Zuckerberg, but you aren’t getting there from me. You’d think a Jew would be a little more put off by being characterized as a baby killer.  Putz.

 

A Facebook page calling for the death of Israeli Jews does not violate the social network’s “community standards,” according to multiple messages sent by Facebook in response to user complaints.

The page in question, is named, “Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews.” The page, which spells “Zionist” incorrectly, features an Image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire with blood dripping down his chin as he feasts on a child. It was started on July 25.

Individuals complaining about the page were greeted with the following message (screen captured below):

We reviewed your report of Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews. Thank you for taking the time to report something that you feel may violate our Community Standards. Reports like yours are an important part of making Facebook a safe and welcoming environment. We reviewed the Page you reported for containing hate speech or symbols and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.

Cheri Irwin once had the most famous derriere in America- She was the original Coppertone baby!

Today she turned 59 and came to the defense of the mom who just caused a stir for reenacting that now iconic Coppertone ad.

“I think it’s innocent and we need to relax,” said Irwin.

Over the July 4th weekend, Jill White, a professional photographer from Hickory, North Carolina, took a photo at the beach of her daughter Willa and Willa’s best friend. One little girl’s bathing suit was pulled down, exposing her bare bottom, just like the Coppertone ad from 1953.

“She captured an innocent moment,” said Irwin. “The girls looked beautiful.”

But Facebook didn’t agree. It banned White from the site for 24 hours, saying the image “fit the criteria of nudity or pornography.”

Do as I say but don’t pay too much attention

Micheele Obama speaking in her hometown of Chicago:

“So, yeah, there’s too much money in politics. There’s special interests that have too much influence. ”

Her cure for this?  She asks the attending audience to write donation checks.

“There is something you can do right now today to make a difference, and that is to write a big, fat check. I kid you not,” she said. “I’m going to be honest with you. That’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write.”

Tickets for the event started at $500 a person and scaled upward to special donations of $10,000 and $20,000 per couple.  But I guess that isn’t enough.

I’d call her a hypocrite but I’d just be insulting hypocrites.  Incredible.

Safety or sanctions?

The ground war in Gaza is heating up.  After years of simply absorbing rockets and mortar fire from Hamas controlled Gaza, the terrorists finally screwed up and klled three Isreali citizens, one of whom had dual US-citizenship.  The Isrealis finally had enough and attacked.

The B. Hussein administration cannot possibly admonish them pubicly.  They have to make platitudes about their soverign right to defend themselves.  Privately, though they seethe.  Kerry mocked Isreal on a Fox News show on a hot microphone not knowing he was being recorded.

Then yesterday, the FAA declared all flights to Tel Aviv to be denied because rocket fire “near” the airport.  “Near” as it turns out is a mile away.  No effects of the rocket or mortar fire would have been felt (possibly even heard) at the airport.  European airlines quickly followed suit.

Kerry hmself ignored the FAA ruling.  He’s smarter and better than any of the other world underlings.  (Did you know he served in Vietnam?)  But ordinary people, like tourists, cannot fly into Tel Aviv.

What a victory for Hamas.  They have cut of the tourism dollars for at least that airport.  And our government is helping the terrorists.  My thinking immediately was that this was not a ruling to protect people.  It was probably sent down from on high as an economic sanction against Isreal.  I mean, Bibi and B. Hussein don’t exactly like one another and Bibi’s soldiers are killing Muslims.

See how it follows though, don’t you?

These pesky real world events are interrupting my fundraising

Russian shoots down an airliner filled with civilians. The remarks by the President include:

“…massacre by the Soviet Union.”

“…crime against humanity.”

“…must never be forgotten.”

“…violating every concept of human rights.”

“…absolutely no justification legal or moral…”

“Is this the practice of other countries of the world? No.”

“..despite the evidence, they still refuse to admit the truth…”

“…murderous attack…”

“Soviet Union against the world…”

“…act of barbarism…”

“I am asking the Congress to pass a joint resolution of condemnation of this crime…”

Of course these were remarks by President Ronald Regan in September 1983 when the Russians shot down Korean Air flight 007.

 

Obama has called this week’s shoot down an “outrage of unspeakable proportions” and a “global tragedy”. He wants the site preserved for international evidence collectors. He is going to “investigate exactly what happened” and is going to make sure the “truth gets out.”  (Sounds a lot like Bill Clinton’s “bring the killers to justice line”.)

“We don’t have time for propaganda,” he said. “We don’t have time for games.” Obama said. That is rich. All he does is obfuscate and conceal when it is something his administration is shady and sneaky about. But now that the Russians have acted like Russians, he is upset and wants to make sure we all know the Russians acted like Russians.

Meanwhile he might add to the economic sanctions against this General or that Colonel. So they can’t import Doritos or have to get Philippine hookers instead of Japanese ones? He isn’t going to do anything—even so much as tell the world what the world already knows. He doesn’t have the sack to call a spade a spade. Kerry, will tongue lash, finger wag, and remind the Russians that they are on the wrong side of history. The Russians will shrug and set their sights on the next world event that propels their new world order vision.

We are no longer a world power, even a super power. Hell, we are not even a regional power. Mexico sees this and keeps and active duty US Marine jailed for over 110 days. Why? Because they can. Obama has not even mentioned the Marine. Mexico, a nation impoverished and corrupt, incapable of sustained and coordinated military action has kidnapped a Marine without fear of recourse.

Coming to a city near you—the president B. Hussein Obama. He’s looking for a check from you to elect the next Democrat. Pay up and turn off Fox News for Chrissake.

Are you kidding me?

In Maryland, after people discovered a secret attempt/plan by the government to house illegal aliens at a local (closed) Army Reserve Center, a citizen spray painted on the side of the building. ” NO ILLEAGLES (sic) HERE. NO UNDOCUMENTED DEMOCRATS. The state police is investigating the incident as a hate crime. Wait, what?

Lt. Patrick McCrory, commander of the state police in Westminster says, “This is definitely a racial, religious, ethic incident.”

Google “hate crime”. The first thing that pops up is:

noun: hate crime;  a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence.

…typically one involving violence. I guess the police Lieutenant is standing up for the civil rights of the bricks that make up the building. That’s the only “violence” that occurred here.

Another member of the Maryland State Police said, ” The tone of the crime is what we’re really concerned with.  Again, you are targeting a specific group just based on their nationality.” (SGT. Marc Black)

Which specific group is being targeted here? The painter did not say “NO ILLEGEAL MEXICANS HERE.” “NO ILLEGEAL HONDURANS HERE”. That would be specific. No, the graffiti protestor lumped all “illegeals” together thereby removing the specifics the Sergeant speaks of.

Donna Krommer, a concerned citizen and clearly bleeding heart liberal states that we have to have mercy for these folks. (Folks!) “…we need to have love and mercy for them.” I sure Donna is busy emptying out her two car garage so she can house ten or twelve “illegeals” as I type this.

That’s where these nauseating liberals draw the line though. They want OTHER people to react with compassion and empathy. They aren’t going to do anything. They want YOU to, particularly if you are a heartless Republican.

Meanwhile, in Lubbock Texas an illegal alien is being held for murder of a woman in Louisiana. He came across the border without documentation (he was here illegally) with two children. He claimed to have family in Metairie, Louisiana. He was apprehended and released in June of 2014. His girlfriend in Louisiana was found bludgeoned to death in a bathtub. Pedro Alberto Monterroso-Navas was arrested in Katy Texas, 369 miles to the west. Maybe he went to go get some Epsom Salts for his girlfriend. And why do all of these people seem to have 14 names?

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/07/16/Exclusive-Released-Alien-from-Border-Crisis-Arrested-For-Alleged-Murder-Kidnapping-in-Texas

But here is a case of the B. Hussein administration “catch and release” program coming here illegally, not being deported, and then continuing their own life of crime here. The government will be (rightfully) sued, and the administration and Barry himself should be specifically named in it. His inept policies not only allowed this to happen, it encouraged it.

The minority must be heard

http://news.msn.com/us/government-report-finds-23-percent-of-americans-gay-or-bisexual

So, we’re doing all of this social reengineering, these laws being rewritten, these centuries-old traditions being discarded for 2.3% of the population?!?  7.6 million people have that strong a lobby?

White guilt is a powerful thing, I guess.

The House Republicans missed another chance

B. Hussein Obama recently went to Congress asking for $3.7 billion to “fix” the border crisis. Republicans should have anticipated this request and IMMEDIATELY granted it.

” The president sent a massive $3.7 billion request seeking funds for everything from transportation costs to border enforcement to surveillance to health services.”  (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/08/white-house-funding-border-policy-changes/)

The administration also claimed they were conducting bilateral plans to expedite deportations by using some of the money to hire more immigration judges. Some of the money would also go towards building more detentions centers. Of course some of the money would go towards legal aid for those “we want to keep” as well as for medical treatments, even language training. (The “humanitarian” left showing its ugly head.)

Of course, $600 million is being added on (part of the $3.7B) to fight wildfires in western states—something that has oh, so much to do with the border crisis. So even in a “clean” request, some politician added an earmark.

Republicans are simply too burrowed into their fight against anything this ass clown wants to do. (No spending without an matching offset in reductions.) They should have cut the unrelated $600 million and given him the rest—instantly. This reticence to accede to anything B. Hussein wants is what is going to sink us in 2014 as well as in 2016 when all the chips are on the table. We lose THAT election and our country is finished.

Think about it. B. Hussein said he wanted money to build new detention centers—as in, the illegal aliens swarming over the border were not going to get a free pass and be allowed to wander the fields of grain at will. He was going to train and position more immigration judges who if they rule by constitutional footing and not left leaning ideology would send them all back to the barrio from which they came. He was going to use some of the money to reinforce border security despite their affirmation (again) that the border is more secure now than ever.

None of these positions would sit well with that political voting bloc that voted for the “D” column at a rate of 72%.

If we had given him that money and then forced him to spend it as he stated he wanted to, we would have gotten what we wanted in the resolution of this problem. Denying it gives him the political out to blame Republicans again for being obstructionists. If only we had given him the money he needed, he could have solved this problem, he’ll say. Delaying it even, gives him that possibility since he can later say we didn’t act in time, we granted him his wish too late to be of any use.

And the media is all too willing to help him hammer out (and home) that message.

Sure, the left would have gotten their feel good money to teach the “refugees” English and get them fed and medicated. (They wouldn’t have learned English anyway—they don’t want to and we don’t make it a requirement for them. Go to any big box retailer for proof and a Spanish lesson.) But we would have gotten detention centers and judges to send them back south, and maybe even a fence. Now only the illegals will get what they wanted. They’ll continue to be bussed and flown to cities across the country complete with the diseases they carry that our populace is no longer inoculated to fight—with no hope of them ever leaving.

Good job, Republicans. This is why you lose more than you win.

Those jobs Americans just won’t do

So many Americans are out of work yet every time you look at the newspaper classifieds or various store fronts you see nothing but want ads. What gives?

“Those are jobs Americans just won’t do.” is often the answer I get. Bullshit is what I say.

This morning I had the perfect chance to test that theory. Coming out of a Safeway, I came across one of those noisy street/parking lot sweeper vehicles. There was a dirty, sweating (at 7:30 in the morning) Hispanic male working on the machine clearing a clog. I walked up and asked him (in English) if he spoke English. “A little.” He said.

“How long have you been doing this job?”   “About two years”, he replied, using fingers to make sure I understood.

“How much do you get paid (if you don’t mind telling me)” “$9.50 an hour.”, he replied.  (9 dollar, 50 were his exact words.)

“Have you gotten a raise in that time?” “No.”

I pulled out my wallet and handed the guy a ten dollar bill. “Let me show you how capitalism works. Here’s an hour of your pay for answering 4 questions. Learn the language and go to school and you’ll get ahead. Have a nice day.” (And he thanked me.) I mean, do you think he wants to do that same job until he is 65 and can’t climb in and out of the truck? Or do you think he’d like to do more, to earn more?

His is clearly a dirty, sweaty, stinky, sticky job. And for $9.50, I wouldn’t want to do it either. But his very presence in this country explains why he is willing. He isn’t going to find a job like mine (even entry level) with no education, language skills, or previous experience. His options are that, or construction, or landscaping, or food service—none of them more than entry level.

But because he is here, whatever company he works for is able to get him to do it for less money that a white, college-going 20 year-old would do. If he wasn’t here (and the rest of his village wasn’t as well), his company would have to pay more in order to entice that college kid to do that job. The company (Aramark, or whomever) would have to pay that “living wage” in order to get the work done. They would have to either charge the Safeway stores of the world more for that same work, or they would have to absorb the wage difference themselves. Not likely.

So they would charge Safeway more who would have to raise the price of milk, eggs, and cheese, etc. a penny to offset that cost increase. But wouldn’t you rather pay five, ten, even 25 cents more per receipt at Safeway in order to get a college kid a job and have fewer (potentially) illegal aliens in the country?

See, it is the promise and availability of lower skilled labor earning lower wages that keeps the current status quo. It isn’t that Americans won’t do that job. It’s that we won’t do it for the wages you’re paying the Mexican to do it. Raise that wage to a respectable amount and you’ll find college kids willing to work. Granted, there are some trust-fund funded kids who will never want anything but to be the CEO of a firm on day one.

But that is the devil about entry level work. The worker should not expect a huge wage rate when they start working somewhere. (Yet, they will.) The fast food industry is entry level work unless you go into management. I worked for Wendy’s as an assistant manager. I made good money, more than the grill man, but less than the co-manager and store manager. Years later, when I worked for Wendy’s part time (moonlighting while in the Army), they started me where? Bare bottom minimum wage—for one shift. Then the store manager saw that I wasn’t bullshitting about working there before and really did have mad grill skills. It was probably me running the grill station and the fry station, and coaching the sandwich maker on the proper sequence of sandwich condiments at the same time that did it. I got bumped from “entry level” to skilled level. I quit when I found that the closing shift leader was stealing cash and trying to frame others (including me). But it is an example of how experience equals higher pay—even doing the same work.

Coming back to the promise of and continual stream of cheap labor…. both sides of the political aisle want it but for vastly different reasons. The left wants open borders with little to no regulation or entry requirements. They want people to come here and not assimilate into our culture, but to immerse—in the welfare system we have. In this manner they believe they will capture that voting bloc. We give you free stuff, so vote for us. The right wants the cheap labor faucet wide open for the economic reasons. Big business wants cheaper labor. Big business more often sides with the right so they lobby the right to keep the flow coming. The right thinks they can get their votes because of the similarities between the history of our two cultures. Hispanics are largely Catholic and thus, if asked privately are distinctly pro-life. That is a huge right wing mindset. Hispanics, those who are here legally—having gone through the proper steps, are often in favor or stricter immigration controls—another right wing tenet.

But when push comes to shove, it boils down to freedom versus free stuff. Freedom pays off eventually. Free stuff pays off right now.  Until we get past that, we’re screwed.

In essence we are under biological attack

And our president is behind it.

As far back as April, 2011, our border patrol agents were ordered to not arrest illegals crossing the border. (http://nation.foxnews.com/border-chaos/2011/04/19/confirmed-feds-ordered-not-arrest-illegals-coming-mexico).

The Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) stopped prosecuting illegals, even releasing them outright in March of 2014. Hundreds of thousands of deportable illegals were released instead of being deported. 722,000 encounters with deportable aliens with only 195,000 charges (not convictions). 68,000 of these 195,000 or 35% were released. (http://cis.org/catch-and-release)

Today, illegals are even being shipped at tax payer expense for collection centers in the border states to other states. Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Arizona are all seeing the federal government load illegals up into buses and drive them to another city and let the go. (http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/06/16/ice-shipping-planeloads-of-illegal-immigrants-to-massachusetts-125716)

Now we have a humanitarian crisis of law enforcement proportions on the southern border–tens or hundreds of thousands of illegals streaming across the border. Malaria, Dengue, Leprosy, Scabies, Chagas Disease, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis A through E all are being detected in these illegals once they are screened.

The United States enjoyed one of the lowest rates of TB in the world. Mexico has a rate 10 times ours.  Now a new drug resistant form of TB has mutated and is coming across, Highly contagious, it costs $250K to treat still with a 50% mortality rate.

Malaria was eradicated in the USA in the 1950’s (no thanks to the EPA outlawing DEET in favor of harder bird egg shells). California, NYC, and Houston all report new cases. Dengue was unknown in the US until recently. States with rampant illegals entering are reporting cases. Leprosy== since 1962 to 2002 there were only 900 cases reported in the US. 9000 since 2002, and most were illegals. Chagas Disease was also unknown in the US until recently. Between 100 and 500K are believed infected–mostly illegals. (http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_diseases.html)

All of this is going on at our southern border. Border Patrol agents are being infected with diseases they were never inoculated against because there had never been cases of it in our country or the disease had been wiped out.

B. Hussein stated he was going to fundamentally change the country. He is. He is denying us the ability to secure our border while simultaneously infecting those that could were they permitted. Since these disease are coming north unabated, it is only a matter of time before we experience a national pandemic.

It is biological warfare being perpetrated on the American people by their own government. And B. Hussein has the stones to look the camera (at least his teleprompters) in the eye and tell us that Republicans are to blame. The House of Representatives (Republican controlled) did not take up the Senate version (Democrat controlled) of the amnesty bill they created. So he is going to take executive action–again.

Live it up while you can, while you are still healthy. Your emperor has seen fit to crumble the castle walls from the inside.
