The liberal war on personal responsibility ............................................................................ Flopping Aces ^ \| 06-15-15 \| DrJohn Back in 1995 Philip Howard published a book called "The Death of Common Sense." It was about government smothering people with regulations. Today we might write another book- The Death of Personal Responsibility. Personal responsibility has been murdered- smothered by the same liberals who ended the life of common sense. In what has to be a monumental embarrassment, it has been disclosed that Rachel Dolezal, the head of the Spokane NAACP, is as white as Barack Obama's mother. Dolezal's father said that she is "clearly as white as we are." Rachel's mom added "She has not explained to us why she has disguised herself and been deceptive about her ethnicity, so we can't explain to you." Rachel's brother says that the appearance of her skin color is "blackface." "She told me not to blow her cover about the fact that she had this secret life or alternate identity," Ezra Dolezal said Saturday. "She told not to tell anybody about Montana or her family over there. She said she was starting a new life ... and this one person over there was actually going to be her black father." Dolezal has a psychological problem but then so does the NAACP, which has chosen to defend this race imposter. What is the response from liberals? It is to defend the fraud, rather to hold Dolezal to account. They blame the family for outing her! The ever-execrable Al Sharpton: “On one level, you’ve got to say to her, ‘you’re misleading us’, but another level, mom and dad, come on,” Sharpton said. “Are we gonna have this dysfunctional family stuff play out and distract us from key civil rights causes? Sharpton then brought up the fact that Dolazel’s parents knew about their daughter’s involvement in the NAACP, saying they betrayed their daughter by waiting until she became a center of attention. “You’ve got to ask the question, ‘what are Mom and Dad’s motives here… where’ve you been?” Mom and Dad's motives? They were asked about her race. They answered honestly. Her brother asserts that Dolezal asked that they keep her fraud a secret. The painfully stupid Cher: it's the parents' fault! Never mind the false hate crimes reports. Never mind Dolezal's sheer hypocrisy: Rachel Dolezal once did not let a student participate in a class activity about race and culture because she did not appear Hispanic enough, the student told BuzzFeed News on Friday. Dolezal, president of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP, gained notoriety Thursday when her parents disclosed that she has been passing herself off as black for years. The revelation has prompted questions about the other aspects of Dolezal’s life, including claims that she has been the victim of hate crimes and received threatening letters. She's mentally ill. She's a fraud. She filed numerous false reports. She's a liar. None of that matters to liberals. According to liberals, the blame lies with the family who dared to tell the truth about her. This is a recurring pattern among liberals. They choose never to assign blame to those whose wrong actions put themselves and others sometimes in grave peril. It's always someone else's fault. Michael Brown There was a veritable tsunami of stupidity following the Michael Brown shooting. Liberals not only didn't wait for the facts but they leaped to pour blame on Officer Darren Wilson and the "man." Whose fault is it that Michael Brown is dead? It is Michael Brown's fault.

Is Barack Obama secretly a white person like Rachel Dolezal? ................................................................ American Thinker ^ \| June 15, 2015 1) Obama cares about illegal aliens. Blacks disapprove of illegal aliens, because they take jobs that blacks in fact will do. - 48% of African-Americans believe they would have more jobs if there were fewer immigrants. - 64% believe immigrants outwork blacks at low-wage jobs. 2) Obama cares about homosexual marriage. Homosexual marriage isn't exactly popular in the black community, to put it mildly. “Blacks are much more likely to think that homosexuality is morally wrong (64%) than Whites (48%) or Hispanics (43%),” according to a Pew poll last year on civil unions and gay marriage. 3) Another big Obama agenda item: global warming. Do you think on the street corners of Harlem, or Oakland, or Chicago that black people are talking about global warming? Have you seen it on the NAACP agenda lately? 4) Obama doesn't talk like a stereotypical black person, as racist liberals expect him to: The authors quote [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." 5) Obama has done nothing for black people. The special groups he has focused on are illegal aliens, most of them Hispanic, and homosexuals. This clearly shows that Obama is actually a white person, specifically a white liberal person. But Obama should be given a chance to respond. Perhaps Obama will say that he identified with black people growing up in Hawaii. Perhaps he had a lot of close black friends there and identified with the local black culture on Honolulu. Growing up in a one-parent home, perhaps he modeled his behavior after his white mother, who worked hard to teach him how to be black. What do you think? Do you think it is wrong to out Obama, or should we be content to let him stay in his white closet? If he let his hair grow out, braided it, and coiled it like a rope on top of his head, do you think that would make him more authentic?

Former CIA operative: Bergdahl was ‘high’ when captured in Afghanistan ............................................................................ Fox News ^ \| June 15, 2015 \| Catherine Herridge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was apparently “high” with a small group of Afghan soldiers when they were picked up by nomads in 2009, according to a former CIA operative who was running a network of informants on the ground. The information brings some additional detail to the otherwise murky picture of the circumstances of Bergdahl’s disappearance and capture, five years before the Obama administration traded five Guantanamo prisoners for Bergdahl’s freedom. The former CIA operative told Fox News Bergdahl was captured along with others, and sold to the Haqqani terrorist network in Pakistan within four days. “The call came in and what it said was they had just broken out the message that an American soldier along with two or three Afghan soldiers had been captured or taken by a group of nomads,” Duane ‘Dewey’ Clarridge told Fox News, speaking for the first time publicly about the incident. He added that the call said, “they were using the Pashto ‘diwana,’ which in this case meant high on hashish.” … (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
