If you are against Common Core you are against "education." If you are against the Global Warming scam you are against "science." If you are against anything Obama does you are a "racist." If you are against homosexual men sleeping in the same tent with your kid in the Boy Scouts you are against "diversity." If you are against illegal aliens overrunning the US you are against "immigration." If you are against Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown attacking and trying to kill others you are against "unarmed teens." If you are against Israel being wiped off the face of the Earth you are against "freedom" and for "apartheid." If you are against Christians being slaughtered in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Nigeria, etc. you are against "freedom of religion." If you are against "Piss Christ" you are against "Art." If you are against little babies being slaughtered you are against "women's rights." If you are against people voting illegally you are against "voting rights."

The Obama administration does not see Islam as an enemy. Remember, the administration has declared that the hoax of man-made global warming is a greater danger to worldwide safety than terrorism, and have shown time and time again that they believe the greater threat to America is Christianity, conservatives, and gun owners, rather than the Islamic Jihad.

Pelosi: That Netanyahu speech was so insulting, it nearly left me in tears ............................................ Hotair ^ \| 03/03/2015 \| AllahPundit She attended the speech but act like an A-hole ostentatiously, in full view of the cameras, so that lefty idiots watching at home would know she was there essentially against her will. The Free Beacon has a nice post rounding up amazed reaction on Twitter at how petulantly Pelosi behaved. A taste: Nancy Pelosi looks ENRAGED on the House floor. She shook her head and covered her eyes at one point. — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) March 3, 2015 . @Nancypelosi has appeared distressed in body language and facial expressions for extended time during this speech. — Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) March 3, 2015 NANCY PELOSI just walked out of the chamber BEFORE Netanyahu. Very clear how unhappy she was with parts of the speech. Hoyer remained. — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) March 3, 2015 “She also kept commenting to her seat-mate, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), using forceful gestures,” noted The Hill. She’s been in Congress for nearly 30 years somehow without resorting to rage-driven “forceful gestures” during a major speech. This was a performance for lefties by an abject hypocrite.. Don’t forget it as the crocodile tears keep “nearly” flowing. Netanyahu showing up and telling the world that Obama’s deal stinks makes it impossible for Democrats to treat Republican opposition in the Senate as mindless wingnut obstructionism. That was always going to be a hard argument to make with Bibi knocking the deal from Tel Aviv. Knocking it in Washington, in front of Congress from the same lectern that Obama uses during the State of the Union, on national television, makes it a nonstarter. CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO

DOJ pulls a “Lois Lerner” on Ferguson .......................................................................... TheBlackSphere.net ^ \| 03/04/2015 \| Kevin Jackson Mad that he couldn’t get a conviction of a good cop who happens to be white, against a thug who happens to be black, the most racist and worst Attorney General in the history of this country decided he will get his pound of flesh from Ferguson “by any means necessary.” Holder has targeted Ferguson, because he says the city has a racial bias in policing. The government measures such nonsense for political expediency, as Holder has little concern for cities around Ferguson with statistical “bias” 14 times that of Ferguson (see MO Attorney General stats below). Let’s look at the numbers. The DOJ states that Ferguson gets 15 percent of its operating budget from fines and forfeitures, and these numbers have been confirmed. But the main claim by the DOJ is that biased policing in Ferguson in traffic stops as a way to raise money has a disparate impact on blacks. Missouri state law allows cities to obtain up to 30 percent of their operating revenues from fine and forfeitures, and Ferguson is not anywhere close to the number. But that’s just part of the irony. Eric Holder’s ignores the fact that nine black-run cities in the St. Louis area with overwhelmingly black populations are currently being sued by the Missouri Attorney General for collecting fines and fees over 30 percent of their budget, an obvious violation of state law. And if that’s not bad enough, a few of these black-run cities receive as much as 50 percent of their city revenues from fines and fees, these fines and fees overwhelmingly levied against their overwhelmingly black citizens. If you are beginning to detect an element of racism in this targeting of Ferguson by Eric Holder, then welcome to the party Captain Obvious. Ferguson is being singled out, because they have a white Republican mayor. But don’t believe me, as this is information directly from the Missouri Attorney General’s website: Racial Profiling Statistics - Disparity Index = Optimal number is 1, below 1 means group is underrepresented in the sample. Over 1 means over represented in the sample. State Average – Disparity Index against African-American – 1.59 Ferguson Police Department Disparity Index against African Americans – 1.37 63% of population is African-American 86% % of the traffic stops are African American Below are Communities run by black City Councils/Mayor Pine Lawn Police Department Disparity Index against Whites – 19.32 1.42% of population is White 27.5 % of the traffic stops are White [Author’s note:] Here’s an interesting factoid on Pine Lawn: Pine Lawn’s Director of Public Safety (Police Chief) and their City Prosecutor “moonlights” as the Attorney for Michael Brown’s family. Berkeley Police Department Disparity Index against Whites – 2.69 15% of population is White 42 % of the traffic stops are White The facts are clear. The DOJ is no better than the IRS in the targeting of white Conservatives. If the mayor of Ferguson were a black Democrat, you would know nothing about this situation in Ferguson. I suggest the DOJ launch an investigation in Pine Lawn, given their racial disparities in ticketing.

DOJ will not prosecute former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson March 04, 2015 FoxNews.com The Justice Department announced Wednesday that it will not prosecute former Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of an unarmed black 18-year-old, while also releasing a report faulting the city and its law enforcement for racial bias. In the criminal investigation, federal officials concluded Wilson's actions "do not constitute prosecutable violations under the applicable federal criminal rights statute." Specifically, the DOJ said there was "no evidence" to disprove Wilson's testimony that he feared for his safety, nor was there reliable evidence that Michael Brown had his hands up when he was shot. The report said: "Although there are several individuals who have stated that Brown held his hands up in an unambiguous sign of surrender prior to Wilson shooting him dead, their accounts do not support a prosecution of Wilson.? As detailed throughout this report, some of those accounts are inaccurate because they are inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence; some of those accounts are materially inconsistent with that witness's own prior statements with no explanation, credible or otherwise, as to why those accounts changed over time." The decision in the Aug. 9 shooting had been expected, in part because of the high legal standard needed for a federal civil rights prosecution. Wilson, who has said Brown struck him in the face and reached for his gun during a tussle, also had been cleared by a Missouri grand jury in November and later resigned from the department. But the DOJ, in its evaluation of the police department itself, said blacks in Ferguson are disproportionately subject to excessive police force, baseless traffic stops and citations for infractions as petty as walking down the middle of the street. The report also cited "evidence of racial bias" in emails by Ferguson officials. They included one April 2011 email that "depicted President Barack Obama as a chimpanzee" Attention now turns to Ferguson as the city confronts how to fix racial biases that the federal government says are deeply rooted in the police department, court and jail. Similar federal investigations of troubled police departments have led to the appointment of independent monitors and mandated overhauls in the most fundamental of police practices. The Justice Department maintains the right to sue a police department if officials balk at making changes, though many investigations resolve the issue with both sides negotiating a blueprint for change known as a consent decree. "It's quite evident that change is coming down the pike. This is encouraging," said John Gaskin III, a St. Louis community activist. "It's so unfortunate that Michael Brown had to be killed. But in spite of that, I feel justice is coming." Others said the federal government's findings confirmed what they had long known and should lead to change in the police department leadership. Brown's killing set off weeks of protests and initiated a national dialogue about police use of force and their relations with minority communities. A separate report being issued soon is expected to clear the officer, Darren Wilson, of federal civil rights charges. A state grand jury already declined to indict Wilson, who has since resigned. The findings of the investigation, which began weeks after Brown's killing last August, were released as Attorney General Eric Holder prepares to leave his job following a six-year tenure that focused largely on civil rights. The report is based on interviews with police leaders and residents, a review of more than 35,000 pages of police records and analysis of data on stops, searches and arrests.

CNN’s Blitzer Asks If ‘Death to America’ ‘Just a Slogan’ ................................................................................................................................................................... breitbart.com by Ian Hanchett6 Mar 2015 1 CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked if “death to America” and “death to Israel” chants in Iran are “just a slogan” on Friday’s broadcast of “Wolf.” Blitzer, interviewing Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen in Tehran, asked “when you hear these thousands of people at these Friday prayers chanting ‘death to America, death to Israel,’ you’ve been hearing that for a long time, but do they really mean it? Or is it just a slogan? What was your sense?” Pleitgen answered “well, I think a lot of it is a slogan. I think a lot of it is part of the ceremony that goes on here. I think a lot of it is just something that really is reflexive. Of course, they do feel very combative towards the United States. Especially if you look at the religious leadership of this country. Also, of course, if you look at the many military and security institutions of this country, they feel that they are the ones who are standing up to the US, and of course, to Israel as well. And you see it around town here as well. There’s banners all over the place. The big slogan there right now is ‘resistance forever.’ So, while ‘death to the US, death to Israel’ is probably not something that they necessarily mean literally, it is something where they do believe that they are in a struggle against the US and Israel, and they certainly feel that the US and [Israel] [don’t] want anything good for Iran.”
