Items Worth Reading

This note provides items worth reading.  I know that there is a lot here.  Read the headers to find those that interest you.  Thanks, 


If you want to understand the far left philosophy driving the President and his number one side kick this item provides at least a start.  Quote: after laying the historical background of both Obama and his number one advisor Valerie Jarrett the author notes that "All of this matters. Liberals, in their hearts, know that it does. If, say, a George W. Bush and Karl Rove had had political ancestors with this kind of baggage tilted to the extreme right, every liberal in America would know about it and would have used it to torpedo Bush’s election to the White House. And yet, the saddest thing of all is that the vast majority of Americans generally, let alone liberals, could not give a damn about this. Their eyes are willfully covered as they pull the lever. And as they remain blind, the fundamental transformation of America continues."  http://spectator.org/articles/63484/barack-and-valerie%E2%80%99s-great-communist-party-marriage

Quote:  "As the 20th Century amply demonstrated, Peak Leftism is reached with robust pogroms and the wholesale crushing of liberty. When enough people have been ground up in reeducation camps, gulags, and dumped in mass graves, exhausting the economy and society, then the vitality is sapped from leftist ambitions. What remains is RussiaLeftism won’t reach that peak on these shores; Armageddon would ensue. Yet we can’t say that American leftists, unrestrained, wouldn’t be willing to try. Leftism placed in its proper historical context is synonymous with brute force. Even today in the U.S., the left practices “demi-force” -- bullying -- that is, intimidation designed to silence, punish, and ostracize those deemed threats. When you can’t win the argument, destroy."      http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/peak_leftism_dont_bet_on_it_.html

Quote: "Rather than disseminate vital information to the public that can save lives, Western world leaders are betraying their citizens by submitting to the OSCE and OIC narrative of outlawing any criticism of Islam and rendering truth illegal.  Reassuring citizens that Islam is a religion of peace merely renders them incapacitated from exercising sound judgment, crippling their ability to make the right decision in the face of potential harm.  While global institutions and national security policies are being shaped, and compromised, by highly influential but ill-known world organizations such as the OSCE and OIC, it’s critical that citizens get to know who those policymakers really are, and become more engaged in public affairs and the political process in order to arrest the Islamization process of the West...before it’s too late to reverse."    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/leftist_and_islamic_policymakers_outlaw_the_truth.html 

Once again Walter Williams displays his brilliance and common sense.  Quote: "The uninformed assumption made by judges, lawyers and academics is that but for the fact of racial and sex discrimination, we all would be distributed across occupations, educational backgrounds and other socio-economic characteristics according to our percentages in the population. Such a vision is absolute nonsense. There is no evidence, anywhere, at any time, that but for the fact of discrimination, there would be proportional representation among various socio-economic characteristics. Let’s look at some disproportionalities, with an eye toward discovering the causes and then deciding what to do about them."  For instance, "If one were to list the world’s top 30 violinists of the 20th century, at least 25 of them would be of Jewish ancestry. Another disparity is that despite the fact that Jews are less than 3 percent of the U.S. population and a mere 0.2 percent of the world’s population, during the 20th century, Jews were 35 percent of American and 22 percent of the world’s Nobel Prize winners. Are Jews taking violin excellence and Nobel Prizes that belong to other ethnicities? If America’s diversity worshippers see underrepresentation as probative of racial discrimination, what do they propose be done about overrepresentation?"  He continues with more dead on examples.   https://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/08/walter-e-williams/equality-nonsense-2/  

The Dutch government is a lot smarter than ours.  They tried the progressive's multiculturalism approach and determined that it does not work.  Quote: "Famously progressive and permissive Holland has tried multiculturalism and decided that it just doesn’t work.  In a historic reversal, the Dutch are abandoning government policies in support of multiculturalism and demanding integration and acceptance of Dutch values from immigrants, mostly Muslims, who now constitute 6 percent of their population."  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/08/netherlands_abandoning_multiculturalism.html

Don't believe elitists are rigging the system?  Read this.  Quote: "Several mega-donors this presidential cycle do not care whether it’s Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton who becomes the next president. In fact, they are hedging their bets by contributing to both."  As noted in previous posts the elitists atop the two parties and those that fund them are in control, or try to be.  That is the reason we need to fight against them.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/stunning-the-same-people-funding-hillarys-campaign-are-also-funding-this-gop-candidate/? 
   
Planned Parenthood has been much in the news lately.  Not for good reasons.  They are responsible for killing over 50 million babies since passage of Roe v. Wade, they receive over $500 million of our tax payer dollars every year, they have been selling baby parts to the highest bidder for years, the DOJ is investigating the organization that uncovered the whole mess while seemingly giving Planned Parenthood a pass (even though experts say what they were doing was against the law) and finally our President sends this video to salve the wounds of the organization.  Such a fine man he is.   http://liveactionnews.org/obama-sends-video-thanks-to-planned-parenthood-during-height-of-baby-parts-scandal/   I wonder why, if they are such a fine organization, its president had such a hard time defending them while on TV this weekend?  http://liveactionnews.org/blow-blow-planned-parenthood-president-fails-answer-questions-abc-news-interview/   This is unbelievable.  No wonder Planned Parenthood is an evil enterprise.   http://www.redstate.com/2014/02/28/planned-parenthood-president-cecile-richards-matter-killing-living-humans/   Their lame, lame claim that the videos have been heavily edited is without basis since they have offered no evidence whatever to substantiate their claim.  Truth is they have no defense.  What the videos show is what they do and it is so awful they must fight against the truth or reveal their awful ethics and lack of respect for human life.  The pandering leftist media comes to their defense with their proof being that Planned Parenthood innocent because they said so.    http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/05/george-allen-macaca-the-infantile-hypocrisy-of-the-heavily-edited-defense/?  One sign says it all.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/these-surprising-numbers-could-reveal-who-really-won-the-debate/?

You may want to save this item highlighted in bold and when time permits peruse it and the many links included.  It offers a real eye-opener to those who would like to be informed as to what the unethical power brokers/lobbyist/government are up to/funding/supporting/aiding and abetting.  Some may not like or want to believe what they read but facts are facts.   It is not a pretty picture.  http://humanevents.com/2015/07/20/yet-again-the-left-is-caught-fraudulently-faking-support-for-its-ridiculous-policies/?  Here is a sneak preview.

       Why are sanctuary cities allowed?  Evidence exists that such cities harbor criminal elements that are harmful, even deadly, to law abiding citizens.  The liberal lie that this is not so is refuted by the data.  Quote: "The path of destruction weaved by these 55,322 illegal aliens was truly shocking. According to GAO, these criminal aliens:
  • Were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about eight arrests per illegal alien;
  • 97 percent had more than one arrest, while 26 percent had over 11 arrests;
  • Committed almost 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging 13 offenses per illegal alien;
  • 10 percent of these illegal aliens were arrested for committing 26 or more offenses;
  • Out of all of the arrests, 12 percent were for violent crimes such as murder, robbery, assault and sex-related crimes; 15 percent were for burglary, larceny, theft and property damage; 24 percent were for drug offenses; and the remaining offenses were for DUI, fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, weapons, immigration and obstruction of justice; and
  • 80 percent of the arrests occurred in just three states: California, Texas, and Arizona

  •       Of course, these statistics reflect the criminal histories of aliens who were in prison. Unfortunately, in fiscal year 2013, the Obama administration released over 36,000 convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of deportation hearings upon an unsuspecting public, and another 30,558 in fiscal year 2014 according to the House Judiciary Committee."  Presidential policies and those of the progressive left are protecting criminals while harming law abiding citizens.  By any definition implementation and acting on their policies is immoral if not criminal.   http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/09/how-sanctuary-policies-have-directly-led-to-thousands-of-crimes-against-americans/?  It is informative to note that despite the evidence all four Democrat presidential candidates continue to support sanctuary cities.  How is it that so called political leaders in this country support violation of the law?   http://www.teaparty.org/hillary-clinton-supports-sanctuary-cities-policy-blamed-illegal-alien-murder-california-woman-106289/

  
Some people have no sense at all by making unreasonable demands and others have no moral fiber by not standing their ground and yielding to unreasonable demands.  People in both groups play to a "t" the increasingly destructive political correctness game.  Both make a bad situation worse.   http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Democrats-drop-Thomas-Jefferson-and-Andrew-6400544.php?   Here is an example of their unreasonableness.   http://raisetheflagreport.com/gay-marriage-ruling-results-in-plain-stupid-progressive-political-correctness/   Talking about having moral fiber.  Check out this example which illustrates the president has none.   http://reviveusa.com/isis-executes-19-girls-for-refusing-sex-with-them/

Why empires fail.  This is a professors' view.  Do you think that is what is happening to us?    http://constitutionalrightspac.com/articles/why-empires-fall   Add to this piece progressives efforts to purge American history of parts they do not like.  That is revisionist history pure and simple...and its intent is to deceive Americans into adopting their world view - ie; only they know what is best.  Truth is unimportant to them.  They want to force feed people their destructive lies and propaganda.  http://www.wnd.com/2015/07/left-works-to-purge-america-of-its-history/?

By now everyone has heard about the flap Donald Trump caused when he claimed a large number of illegal aliens harm Americans because they do bad things and mooch off of American taxpayers.  The left and even some on the right jumped on his case.  Their reaction was predictable since the advent of progressive mandated political correctness which requires people to be untruthful or suffer scorn from the PC police, a doting media with much of the public following suit.  Facts are now meaningless in today's political correctness and cultural climate.  Trump said bad apples are being allowed/even invited into the country.  That is factually true as shown in the previous item.  Here's more.  Quote: "According to a recent study released from the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released 30,558 criminally-convicted illegal immigrants, with a total of 79,059 convictions altogether, in 2014.  Furthermore, the CIS report shows that among the 904,000 illegal immigrants who have ignored orders to leave the U.S., approximately 167,527 of these are convicted criminal immigrants.  Likewise, CIS’s April 2015 statistics indicate ICE has only arrested 11,983 at-large convicted criminal immigrants—despite the fact 168,000 criminal immigrants were identified." http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/06/how-unusual-is-francisco-sanchez-case-the-facts-about-illegal-immigrants-and-crimes/?    Does anyone really think the lefts PC culture is good for us?  And lies like this from the White House condone the whole mess and refuse to take one shred of responsibility for a whole rash of actions the President promoted, a number of which federal judges have refuted.  The President with a straight face claims the Republicans are responsible.  What a joke!http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/06/white-house-blames-republicans-for-deported-san-francisco-killer/  This piece makes the point more elegantly than I did.   http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/07/the_donalds_scarlet_x.html  And if that is not enough, check out these statistics.   http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ice-1800-illegals-freed-by-sanctuaries-charged-in-7500-new-crimes-rape-child-sex-assault/article/2568236?
