Unfortunately, Odumbo has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory...its looking less and less like the opportunity for Iraqis to enjoy that freedom provided by the Bush Admin diminishes every passing day.

But really Donny boy...have someone adjust your meds and change your daipers...that family revenge stuff makes you sound like a real whackjob....

    Race relations have deteriorated dramatically under President Obama. Both whites and blacks agree: the racial divide has increased over the past several years. The reason is simple. Mr. Obama has deliberately fanned the flames of racial bitterness and hatred.

    Just over 50 percent of whites and 38 percent of blacks hold a positive view of race relations, according to a new poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal. This is a steep decline from when Mr. Obama was first elected in 2008. Then, nearly 80 percent of whites and more than 60 percent of blacks held a positive opinion of U.S. race relations. The country is becoming dangerously fractured along racial and ideological lines.

    This is precisely what Mr. Obama wants. Contrary to liberal myth, he is not a conventional Democrat in the mold of John F. Kennedy or Bill Clinton. Rather, the president is something new in American politics: He is a disciple of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright — a radical anti-colonial socialist, who espouses black nationalism and despises traditional America. From the inception of his presidency, Mr. Obama’s goal has been to advance a divide-and-conquer strategy. In particular, he seeks to split America into two pieces, grabbing the bigger electoral chunk. Hence, he has used class warfare, demonizing the “1 percent” of wealthy Americans on behalf of the so-called 99 percent. He falsely claims Republicans are waging a “war on women.” And he has repeatedly — and cynically — played the race card.

    Principled criticism of Mr. Obama’s major social democratic policies — the nearly $1 trillion stimulus, Obamacare and the Dodd-Frank financial reform — have been denounced by Democratic operatives as “racist.” When Mr. Obama’s friend, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, got into an altercation with a white Cambridge police officer, the president — without even knowing the facts in the case — immediately leapt to Mr. Gates‘ defense. Mr. Obama publicly scolded the Cambridge cop. The president’s alleged rationale? That white cops are inherently bigoted against black victims.

    Anti-white racism pervades his administration. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has refused to prosecute members of the New Black Panthers for intimidating white voters at a polling booth in Philadelphia. Mr. Holder has ordered the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division not to investigate crimes perpetrated by blacks against white victims. If this is not a racial double standard, then I don’t know what is.

    Yet, the most pernicious race baiting took place in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal. During the anti- Zimmerman protests in 2012, the Justice Department sent liaison officers to Sanford, Fla. Their mission: to aid black activists, such as the Rev. Al Sharpton, to foment racial unrest on behalf of slain black teenager Trayvon Martin. Mr. Zimmerman was rightly found not guilty of killing Trayvon. Instead of respecting the jury’s verdict, Mr. Obama personally interjected himself into the case.

    Mr. Obama claimed that he “could have been” Trayvon 35 years ago. Moreover, at a hastily convened news conference, the president wallowed in self-pity, decrying that he had been “profiled” as a young black man in department stores and elevators. In short, Mr. Obama portrayed himself as a long-standing victim of white bigotry.

    The spectacle was not only politically perverse, but morally revolting. Think about it: The most powerful man in the world, who was elected to the presidency not once but twice, is complaining about being allegedly mistreated as a black man in America. Everything he said was blatantly false. Mr. Obama has been the beneficiary of white liberal guilt and American privilege. He was raised not in some blighted inner-city neighborhood, but in a prosperous middle-class home in Hawaii. Because of affirmative action, he was accepted at Occidental College, then Harvard University, and eventually promoted to be the head of its prestigious law review (even though he never wrote a serious scholarly article). Mr. Obama was then parachuted by supporters into the Illinois state Senate. From there, he was elected to a safe seat in the U.S. Senate. Finally, the liberal media propped him up and misrepresented him to the American public, as he rode a wave of good will into the White House. Yet, all of this doesn’t matter. Like other race-baiting Democrats, when push comes to shove, the president blames whitey.

    Mr. Obama has cynically exploited the death of Trayvon. The shooting was a local affair. From the beginning, it was none of the president’s business. He has sought to use the shooting to heighten racial tensions in a desperate bid to galvanize black support for his crumbling presidency. Benghazi, the burgeoning IRS scandal, snooping on the press, and the Orwellian use of the National Security Agency to spy on American citizens — Mr. Obama is presiding over the most lawless, scandal-ridden administration in memory. He makes Richard Nixon look like Calvin Coolidge.

    Playing the race card seeks to distract the public from the president’s numerous abuses of power. It may work for a while, but the long-term costs are poisoned race relations that will haunt the nation long after he is no longer in office.

    BOOM! Waffle House patron defends restaurant, shoots armed robber
    Posted by The Right Scoop on July 29th, 2013 in Politics | 15 Comments

    Now this is how it’s supposed to work. This Waffle House patron is a hero:



    FOX ATLANTA – A customer at a Waffle House turned the tables on an armed robber trying to hold up the restaurant on Jonesboro Road in Union City.

    According to the Union City Police Department, police officers were called to the Waffle House in the 4300 block of Jonesboro Road just before 2 a.m. Monday. They were responding to a report of a robbery and person shot.

    Officers were told that a black male walked into the Waffle House with a gun in hand and demanded money. At some point, a customer took action by shooting the robbery suspect.

    The suspect was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he is being treated. There were no details regarding the nature or severity of the suspect’s injury, or the suspect’s identity.

    Police have not released any information about the suspect who shot the suspect.

    No other patrons were hurt during the attempted robbery.

    MUSLIMS LOOT ITALIAN CHURCH, DEFECATE ON ALTAR...

    Here again, our Islamic superiors teach us about respect, interfaith dialogue and tolerance. But first and foremost, as President Barack Hussein schools us, "respect it," kuffar!ITALY: Moroccan Muslims rob a church, then defecate and urinate on its altar BNI, July 28, 2013 (thanks to TROP)
    First they gained entry to the rectory of Libiola and stole the money collected by the children of Grest, and then, still not happy, they entered the nearby church, which, since last year’s earthquake, is a simple tensile structure made of plastic and defecated and urinated next to the altar.This was a contemptuous act of vandalism and sacrilege. The culprits were identified, because a woman saw them coming out of the tent. They were four boys of Moroccan origin, one resident in Serravalle, the others from Ostiglia and surroundings.

    The incident happened on Thursday afternoon, but the parish priest, Father Eugenio Ferrari, has only yesterday made an official complaint to the police. That day the parish house of Libiola, inhabited by two nuns, was empty and locked because the sisters, along with the parish priest, had gone on a trip with the children of the Grest on a day trip to a mountain resort.



    Muslim illegal aliens are flooding the shores of ItalyMuslim illegal aliens are flooding the shores of Italy Undisturbed, then, the criminals broke the lock of a back door and entered. They climbed upstairs and also forced the lock on the bedroom of the Sister Superior. In a bag in a drawer there were about eighty euro, the takings of the third week of Grest, plus a portion of the proceeds of a summer risotto organized by the group of children and parents. Having carried out the theft, the group was still not satisfied to leave. They wanted to leave their mark. A mark of vandalism, that because the place where it was made, also takes on the meaning of a provocation, a disgraceful affront.

    Without difficulty, the criminals cut the plastic edge of the tent used as a church and, once inside, they left droppings near the altar. In the tent there is absolutely nothing to steal, then having terminated their organic needs, the thieves-vandals are gone. Apparently, a local woman saw them run away and recognized one, the one who lives in Libiola.

    The police identified the other three accomplices after receiving the complaint of the pastor. Up to now, four people have been identified, four boys of Moroccan origin living in and around Libiola Ostiglia, but no action against them has yet been taken because the investigations are still not concluded.

    Meanwhile, vents, bitter, Don Eugenio: “If they had come to steal the money because they are hungry, I would not have made the complaint; would have forgiven them. But what they have done in the church is a gesture on which you cannot ignore, it is beyond description. “I’m sorry, because, as it seems, the fact has been made of four Moroccan boys – goes on Don Eugenio – They have shown contempt towards our religion. But if I had done the same thing in their mosque, would not my neck have been cut? “
