Syria
Personally, I think Obama’s not
getting us involved in Syria
so far is a better policy than conservatives and liberals demanding we, “Do
Something!” There are no good guys in Syria, and our intervention will
not end well. ~Bob
Great Column: at George Mason. By Walter Williams
Excerpt: Ideas such as equity and equal opportunity, while
having high emotional value, are vacuous analytical concepts. For example, I've
asked students whether they plan to give every employer an equal opportunity to
hire them when they graduate. To a person, they always answer no. If they
aren't going to give every employer an equal opportunity to hire them, what's
fair about forcing employers to give them an equal opportunity to be hired?
Marines,
Corps Values, And The Exemption Clause? By Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
Troublesome was the accused Marines, while in command, had been
misbehaving all whilst conducting non-judicial punishment and referring to
courts-martial Marines whose misdeeds had, for the most part, been far less
egregious. A more blatant double-standard and destruction to unit
morale escapes me.
Muslim Brotherhood Chicago
Comptroller Hired by Rahm Emanuel Charged with Money Laundering. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration on Monday

controversial government contract in Ohio
before the mayor hired him as Chicago’s
comptroller in April 2011.
Liberal Hypocrisy in Iraq
and Syria.
By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: In a response with clear echoes to the beginnings
of the Iraq War, Obama has refused Syria’s offer to open its chemical
weapons sites to United Nations inspectors as coming too late to be credible. For
the worst half of a decade, liberals were either urging us to give the UN
inspectors more time in Iraq
or demanding to know “Where are the WMDs?” once the war had begun. (Is it just
me, or are the folks calling for us to “do something” about Assad gassing his
own people, the same folks who were all upset when we did something about
Saddam gassing his own people? ~Bob)
Syria's
Assad says U.S.
military will fail if it intervenes
I have to side with Assad on this one. We don't need to get
involved in someone else's civil war again, especially since there are no good
guys. We need to be pulling out of the middle east, not getting more involved.
And Assad is right when he says failure awaits U.S.
in Syria.
After all, Obama would be running things. - LLW
U.N. team headed to
site of alleged Syrian chemical attack comes under fire, turns back
Excerpt: U.N. inspectors attempting to visit the site of an
alleged chemical weapons attack in eastern Damascus were forced to turn back on Monday
after their convoy came under what the United Nations described as intentional
fire. (They needed Hillary Clinton. She would have just “put her head down and
ran” as she did in Bosnia.
~Bob.)
Excerpt: But there are problems with such a
humanitarian intervention (well beyond the now stale assertions that Assad was
a “reformer” in the eyes of our past and present secretaries of state, and
worth visiting in the mind of Nancy Pelosi during the Iraq War, and worth
talking to and engaging with in the 2008 campaign rhetoric of Barack Obama) —
and unfortunately they are almost all of the Obama administration’s own making.
The Dangerous Global
Consequences of a Syria
Intervention
The elites are trying their best to drag us into a war. Some
say it is natural because the Western economy is failing and that is how the
elites solve problems. Indeed there does seem to be a repeating pattern.
At any rate, we need to learn as much as we can about the people who want this
war. The countries most frequently named include Qatar,
Turkey, Israel, Saudi
Arabia and the US. The link below provides a few
clues. --Don Hank
Pentagon Crafts
Limited Strike Plans for Syria
Excerpt: The official said the military options developed
for consideration by the White House are limited in scope and would be intended
to “deter or prevent” the Assad regime from the further use of chemical
weapons. The options are not intended to remove the Syrian president, who has
tenaciously hung on to power as Syria’s
two-year civil war has raged on.
US Forces Move Closer
To Syria
As Options Weighed
Excerpt: U.S. naval
forces are moving closer to Syria as President Barack
Obama considers military options for responding to the alleged use of chemical
weapons by the Assad government. The president emphasized that a quick
intervention in the Syrian civil war was problematic, given the international
considerations that should precede a military strike. The White House said the
president would meet Saturday with his national security team to
consider possible next steps by the United States.
Excerpt: Americans should expect an enormous shortage in caregivers
for older people in the coming decades, with a dearth of friends and family
members available to care for the baby-boom generation as it ages, according to
a report released Monday by AARP. (Send your kids into geriatric
care. These folks face the collapse of Social Security and Medicare as well.
~Bob)
NSA employees spied
on their lovers using eavesdropping programme
Excerpt: Staff working at America's
National Security Agency – the eavesdropping unit that was revealed to have
spied on millions of people – have used the technology to spy on their lovers.
(Barack Obama: “Unfortunately,
you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing
more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our
problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works.
They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should
reject these voices.” Right. ~Bob.)
Obama's 2009 Promise
Of Cheaper Healthcare Has Morphed Into 2013 Price Hikes. By Sally Pipes
Excerpt: Remember when President Obama promised back in 2009
that his health care reform plan would cut insurance premiums for the average
family by $2,500? Four years later, those promised cuts have morphed into
admissions of price hikes. (He’ll blame greedy insurance companies. ~Bob.)
ObamaCare's
architects reap windfall as Washington lobbyists
Excerpt: ObamaCare has become big business for an elite
network of Washington lobbyists
and consultants who helped shape the law from the inside. More than 30 former
administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on
the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street since 2010. Major
lobbying firms such as Fierce, Isakowitz & Blalock, The Glover Park Group,
Alston & Bird, BGR Group and Akin Gump can all boast an ObamaCare insider
on their lobbying roster — putting them in a prime position to land coveted
clients.

Shock Video Allegedly

not like.
Black mob attacks cop
in Chicago.
Fractured skull. Media silent.
Excerpt: A Chicago
police officer is hospitalized in serious condition with a fractured skull, a
victim of black mob violence. The officer was responding to a call
early Saturday morning when he found dozens of people in the street, creating
mayhem. He immediately called for back up, but instead of waiting for
reinforcements, went to the assistance of a woman under attack.
Black preacher on the
Martin-Zimmerman case
Op-Ed: Islamic
Throwbacks are Erasing Civilization
Excerpt: "Dozens of churches were burned and destroyed
in the largest attack on Coptic houses of worship since 1321", reports
the Wall Street Journal about the latest persecution of Christians in Egypt. A symbol of Egypt's
national culture, the ancient churches of Minya, did not hold religious
services for the first time in 1,600 years. The churches had been destroyed by
supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. ..Christian
shops and homes have been marked by a black "X", while the Muslim
buildings are marked with a red "X". (The “mark”…note the red and
black symbolism, strutted by POTUS and FLOTUS on inaugurations, now by many
black (and some liberal white) commentators, weather people…..How many times
are we seeing red, black and red/black combinations in July and August, since
the Zimerman trial? Like these were summer colors? Subliminal code,
just like grabbing genitals and making gang signs… They don’t care about your
civilization. No ovens necessary this time. Just as Fascist. –Barb)
Excerpt: We spend about twice as much as other developed
countries as a fraction of national output. Yet our results are mediocre.
Public and private spending is growing much faster than our income ― putting us
on a course that is clearly unsustainable. It appears we are buying quantity
instead of value. Outcomes vary wildly from state to state. And programs that
target the poor seem to be backfiring instead. I’m speaking of course
about…Ooops. Did you think I was describing health care? No. I’m describing our
system of higher education ― making some of the same points that President
Obama made the other day. Yet even the president failed to note the obvious
similarities between the two fields.

all, and that “psychiatrist” who yelled to Allah as he killed and injured
soldiers at Ft. Hood was just workplace violence, you
sheeple. Holocaust against whites beginning…..led from the TOP. They’re being
told they gotta take what you got to survive. Forget Christianity,
Judaism, the 10 Commandments, the Bible…. We are talking Evil here. Anyone note

Here Are the Two Teens Accused of Savagely Beating 88-Year-Old WWII Veteran to Death. By Jason Howerton
Excerpt: The Spokane Police Department has arrested a
suspect and are searching for another in the brutal beating death of 88-year-old WWII veteran
Delbert Belton. (Two kids beat an old man to death in a parking lot, and the
reports have been filtering in about the tragedy. Here is the latest on the
case, where the cops identified the kids from various camera recordings. But
where are all the mainstream reporters, where are the major race commentators,
where is all the rage being expressed by all those TV personalities? Somehow
all absent. Again we are supposed to believe that media coverage of murders
doesn't depend on what color the hand was that did the deed as opposed to what
color the victim was? White on White, Black on Black, White on Black, not
really news, but White on Black and stand back or the herd of reporters will
trample you into the ground. --Del)

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood calls for mass "Friday of Martyrs" protest; nobody shows up.
Excerpt:
Mass protests called by Egypt’s
Muslim Brotherhood mostly failed to materialize on Friday as the movement reeled from a bloody
army crackdown on followers of ousted President Mohamed Morsi. Troops and
police had taken relatively low-key security measures before the “Friday of
Martyrs” processions that were to have begun from 28 mosques in the capital
after weekly prayers. But midday prayers were cancelled at some mosques and
there were few signs of major demonstrations unfolding in Cairo.

Two
million bikers to meet "Million Muslim March" in DC on 9/11. By Katie
Pavlich
Excerpt:
Now in response to the march, a
bunch of bikers are planning their own party in DC on 9/11…with two million
people. Thousands of America’s
patriotic bikers are organizing an enormous counter protest to the planned
Million Muslim March on DC this Sept. 11. The Facebook Page, “2 Million Bikers to DC,” has
over 18 thousand “likes,” as of Thursday morning
and individual state chapters of riders have launched pages on Facebook, as
well.
Student
Loans Will Haunt You To The Grave. Walter Russell Mead
Excerpt:
We’ve devoted considerable space on this blog documenting the ways in which
student debt prevents young people from beginning their lives as adults. A study from Demos, for example,
finds that among college graduates, those without student debt are more
likely to own a home and enjoy lower interest rates on their mortgages. But the
effects of debt can also linger into older adulthood, even when the loans are
paid off: the study found that debt-free grads build up a hefty $208 thousand
more in wealth over the course of their lifetime.
And
I Feel Fine. By Richard Fernandez
Excerpt:
Ari Shavit’s evocative lede in today’s Haaretz is
a reaction to the horror in Syria,
He writes, “The End of the World is starting in Damascus … if civilians can be gassed to
death in 2013, we face the end of the world that purports to be moral and
enlightened”. Well perhaps the world was never really that enlightened to begin
with: not even during the peace after the Second World War. People had simply
had a bellyful of war and were momentarily intimidated into pacifism by the
power of the hegemon, the United
States.

The Imam Who
Defected. By Baron Bodissey
Excerpt: Ahmed Akkari is one of the notorious Danish imams
who carried the Mohammed cartoons to the Middle East
back in 2006. His actions helped inflame tensions that led to riots and
resulted in the burning of two Danish embassies (and a Norwegian one, if I
recall correctly). After spending some years in Greenland, Mr. Akkari recently
caused a sensation in Denmark
by publicly apologizing for his actions and admitting that they were wrong.
The

'A Nation of Sullen
Paranoids': Too much security can produce a kind of madness. By Peggy
Noonan
Excerpt: But, [Stella Rimington, former director-general of Britain's
MI5] suggests, you don't want to lose your country—the thing you are so
anxious to defend—in your effort to save your country. In a career in what she
calls "the secret state," she learned that at the heart of countering
terrorism is intelligence, and the most valuable sources against terrorism are
human beings—long-term penetration efforts. This must be heavily supplemented
by technical intelligence—phones, the Internet—and the more expert the better.
DHS employee’s
website: ‘We are going to have to kill a lot of whites’
Excerpt: Mr.
Kimathi in his private time runs the website “War on the Horizon”
under the user name “Irritated Genie,” SPLC said. The site advocates “properly educating
Black people to prepare for Racial Warfare.” “Warfare is [imminent], and in
order for Black people to survive the 21st century, we are going to have to
kill a lot of whites – more than our christian hearts can possibly count,” one
statement on the site reads. … I am astounded, he’s employed by the
federal government, let alone Homeland Security.” (Seen a lot of weather
people, TV commentators wearing “the mark” of black and red all summer? BP
colors. Gee, that’s why they need all the ammo. More fun than ovens. –Barb)
Excerpt: Two weeks after the Obama administration
announced charges against suspects in the Benghazi attack, a large portion of the U.S. team
that hunted the suspects and trained Libyans to help capture or kill them is
leaving Libyapermanently. Special
operators in the region tell Fox News that while Benghazi targets have been identified for
months, officials in Washington could "never pull the
trigger." In fact, one source insists that much of the information on Benghazi suspects
had been passed along to the White House after being vetted by the Department
of Defense and the State Department -- and at least one recommendation for
direct action on aBenghazi suspect
was given to President Obama as recently as Aug. 7.
America’s 50 worst
charities
Excerpt: Some of our most liberal politicians are also some
of the wealthiest Americans. I would ask the liberals and Wall Street Occupiers
this: If the very champions of your ideology, redistributing the wealth, are
also some of the most wealthy, why are you not demanding they put their money
where their mouths are? Why do they insist on bleeding the working taxpayer
who, depending where they live, are not getting wealthy on $200,000! How is it
that your liberal champions chant the mantra of taxing the rich, but their own wealth
never diminishes and they are always able to avoid the tax burden that we
working stiffs face?

Excerpt: These days, Obama and his fellow Democrats aren’t
exactly bragging about ties between his party and the lobbying industry. But
his administration, along with Democrats in Conrgess, have helped facilitate it
all the same. The 2010 health care overhaul, in particular, has meant big
business for well-connected lobbying firms—and numerous trips through the
revolving door for the former administration and congressional staffers who can
help make those firms even better connected still.
Better Face It Millennials: You Didn’t Get What You Were

Excerpt: Many of these kids don’t know what real work is. Their

Excerpt: They don’t report on the much more common
black-on-white crime, but the very rare man-bites-dog story of white-on-black
crime — that gets covered hysterically not because it is a man-bites-dog story,
but they act as if, ‘No, this is all too common, it’s the racism in America.’
No, it is very rare.

Excerpt: George Zimmerman wasn’t motivated by race in

Excerpt: In the course of my adult life, especially in the

foreign affairs. Democrats prefer and advocate for U.S. intervention,
including messy, bloody, military intervention, in places where there is little
or, preferably, no US national interest at stake, e.g., Vietnam, Libya,
ex-Yugoslavia. Find a place where there are US
interests at risk–e.g., Panama,
Central America, Iran,
Cuba–they
go into pacifist-anti-imperialist-defender-of-the-peoples-of-the-Third-World
mode.
