Hamas-linked CAIR to Muslims: Pat yourselves down in airport security checks

Hamas-linked CAIR to Muslims: Pat yourselves down in airport security checks: "
Hamas-linked CAIR to Muslims: Pat yourselves down in airport security checks: "
'It's all right, kaffir, I have checked myself and found nothing!'
From a press release sent out by Hamas-linked CAIR -- a group that never saw an anti-jihad terror initiative that it could support -- today (thanks to Twostellas):
If you wear the Islamic head scarf and you are selected for secondary screening, ask the TSA officer if the reason you are being selected for secondary is because of your head scarf. If the officer confirms you were referred to secondary because of your head scarf, before you are patted down, you should remind the TSA officer, who should be of the same gender, that they are only supposed to pat down the area in question, in this scenario, your head and neck. They should not subject you to a full-body or partial-body pat-down. You can always request to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck area, and have the officer perform a residue swab of your hands.
The problem with that 'residue swab,' and with airport security in general, is that some explosive substances are undetectable by such methods.

Irony: Lame duck President padons turkey: "From the AP via The Detroit News: Obama spares turkeys 'shellacking' he got at polls
It's official: President Barack Obama has pardoned the National Thanksgiving Turkey.That shellacking has left Obama a lame duck years early. So much the better. His goose is cooked because his policies are foul. Related, from The Onion: Obama Outlines Moral, Philosophical Justifications For Turkey Pardon
Continuing a decades-old White House tradition, Obama issued pardons Wednesday to a gobbler named 'Apple' and its alternate, 'Cider.' The two 21-week-old, 45-pound turkeys were raised on a California farm.
Obama said it 'feels pretty good to stop at least one shellacking this November.'

From The Politico via memeorandum: Bobby Jindal: Make Congress part-time.
In actuality, Congress is part-time. They are constitutionally required to convene only a handful of times each session. Article 1, Section 4 of the US Constitution reads in part:
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year...But the constitution doesn't cap how many times they do meet, and thus the ruling class is satisfied with tormenting us constantly. Here's the Jindal interview over at Human Events:

Video: ObamaCare Putting Alzheimers Patients at Risk

Video: ObamaCare Putting Alzheimers Patients at Risk: "As part of ObamaCare, there were four aspects that will be the doom of seniors if the whole thing isn't repealed. 1) $500 billion was pulled out of ObamaCare, 2) The 'doctor fix' that was supposed to make permanent a 20% cut in Medicare reimbursement and thus incentivize doctors to drop out of the program, and 3) two death panel boards that will decide what treatments seniors get, and more importantly, what they won't get due to cost. That latter part we call rationing. The 'doctor fix' is the focus of this segment on Fox Business Network:
I have said many times in this blog that the hardest hit by ObamaCare will end up being seniors. All government run plans have one end result - rationing. And what is rationed is that which is most expensive. And those that bear the brunt of the rationing are those that need those expensive procedures but who aren't expected to be paying much in the way of taxes - the elderly. From the bureaucrat's point of view, why care for the elderly that 1) don't pay taxes and 2) aren't going to live much longer anyway? That's liberal compassion, the same that a fetus gets at Planned Parenthood. This is the essence of comparative effectiveness that is at the heart of ObamaCare. Comparative effectiveness, as per Obama's rationing czar 'Dr.' Ezekiel Emanuel, takes only 2 things into consideration when denying or approving treatment: 1) age, 2) cost. Simple as that. It yields this ghoulish chart:
This chart would be page 1 of the 'how to' guide of any death panel. Old people are too expensive to be worth keeping alive because they've already paid their taxes and are thus essentially useless to a totalitarian state. The very young too are of little value since they won't be paying taxes for a while yet. The people that should be treated are healthy people that pay taxes, but don't really need it because, well - they're mostly healthy. Welcome to ObamaCare, where people that don't need treatment get it, and those that need it don't. Step 1? Healthcare plans dropping seniors via the 'doctor fix':
This is of course by design: Video: Doctors Face 23% Cut in Medicare Payments due to ObamaCare. Just recently, the NYT's Paul Krugman said that death panels were needed to balance the budget (ie - kill seniors because they are too expensive). A couple of years ago, Obama adviser Robert Reich said this: Video: Obama Advisor Robert Reich To Elderly 'We're Going To Let You Die!' Liberals want you to die if some bureaucrat determines that you are too expensive to treat. By definition a death panel. Democrat Gary McDowell, who lost to Dan Benishek (R) for the seat of disgraced Judas turncoat Bart Stupak in Michigan's 1st Congressional district, admitted to a crowd of supporters that people near the end of their will get kicked down the stairs to save on cost. Even the White House admits that seniors will see higher costs and less benefits, something they wouldn't do in the runup to the unconstitutional boondoggle.

CBO Says Effect Of Stimulus Plan Waning (There was an Effect?)
from YID With LID
CBO Says Effect Of Stimulus Plan Waning (There was an Effect?): "If you are looking for help from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) commonly known as the Porkulus plan you may be a bit too late. The CBO released a report on the effect of ARRA on Employment and economic output from July 2010- September 2010 and found the effects of Porkulus on output peaked in the first half of 2010 and are now diminishing, and the effects on employment are expected to wane gradually beginning in the fourth quarter.
I know what you are thinking, what effect?
The CBO suggests that the ARRA raised the GDP, lowered unemployment, and increased the number of people with jobs even though most Americans haven't noticed. It also concludes (based on economic models) July through September stimulus spending “increased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.6 million.” I guess these people forgot to tell anyone they had a job.
Those mystery effects on the economy are almost over. The CBO estimates 70% of the budget impact ended with the fiscal year that ended in September. It suggests the impact on growth peaked and is now “diminishing” and the impact on unemployment will “wane gradually” in the current fourth quarter.
Keep in mind all of these employment estimates come from "computer models" and estimates based on historic trends. The only sure thing from this report is that most of the money has run out (they can track the spending).
Either way, if you feel the stimulus didn't work for you, based on the latest CBO report, its not going to ever work. You can read the full report below:

TIME FOR I TOLD YOU SO; And For War…It’s Inevitable Now

TIME FOR I TOLD YOU SO; And For War…It’s Inevitable Now: "
By: Resa LaRu Kirkland
Let’s dispense from the beginning with the idea that more “sternly-worded letters,” sanctions, condemnations, or talks (serious this time!) are the answer to North Korea’s dual declarations of war. They have NEVER worked, because when dealing with evil, you must speak to it in the language it understands. Evil only understands violence.
And yes, it’s time for violence.
It gives me no pleasure to say so, but the pattern of history has borne out this truth: there will never be peace so long as only one side is willing to abide by the rules for peace.
The pictures coming from Yeonpeyong, South Korea, are chillingly reminiscent of Pearl Harbor. But did we get the “a date which will live in infamy” speech, which Pres. Roosevelt delivered only 1 day after the December 7, 1941 attack?
N
ope.
ope.Here’s what we got from the Eunuch in Chief: “…too soon to discuss ways the U.S. military might deter the reclusive communist state from another strike.”
And from his lapdog Stephen Bosworth: “I would not at all accept that our policy toward North Korea is a failure,” Bosworth said after flying to Seoul to meet South Korean officials. “They are a difficult interlocutor,” he said of the North, “but we’re not throwing our policy away.”
While the North’s uranium program is disappointing and provocative, he told reporters, it isn’t surprising. “This is not a crisis.”
The best lines are from PJ Crowley: “…the Obama administration would take its time to assess the available information. He said the revelation of the new uranium enrichment facility would violate Pyongyang’s obligation to stop pursuing nuclear weapons but also may be what he called a ‘publicity stunt.’”
But my personal favorite came from State Department spokesman Mark Toner, who called North Korea’s actions “very, very bad.”
I guess their answer is to send NoKo to bed without any supper. I did not know this level of denial existed outside of Egypt.
But Obama has a point; I mean, if the sinking of a South Korean navy ship and the killing of 46 South Koreans in March wasn’t enough for us to consider violence against the violent, 200 artillery shells and a lousy 2 deaths certainly won’t qualify.
When I wrote DA PLANE! DA PLANE! When Did We Become Fantasy Island? last week, I was the only one who believed and warned that the LA missile was from North Korea. I don’t deny that China aided and abetted, perhaps even supplied weaponry or the submarine. That’s because China has long told us they would reign in NoKo, but the actions of both countries for over a decade now clearly indicate they were mere words.
I have said it over and over again in past articles: when the sh*t hits the fan, China WILL back, support, and use North Korean aggression to achieve their goals as outlined in their manifesto. Goals which have never, ever changed.
But don’t just believe me. Let’s look at the clues of just the past 8 months that lead any reasonable, NON-psychotic person to that very conclusion. (Hippies, avert your eyes…logic and truth are NOT your friends.)
March 26, 2010 – Sinking of the South Korean Cheonan Cruiser by North Korean torpedoes, 46 South Korean sailors murdered in the unprovoked attack.
August 26, 2010 – Kim Jong-il visits China, supposedly to ask for a do-over on the six party talks. It was his second trip to China in a year, and incidents to follow call into question whether or not the discussion was really that benign.
September 2010 – North Korea makes overtures to South Korea—again—and hurriedly makes Kim Jong-il’s youngest son, Kim Jong-un, said to be 26, vice chairman of the central military commission of the Worker’s party. He’s made a four star general. (snort)
October 10, 2010 – It’s official: Kim Jong-un will fill his daddy’s tiny shoes.
October 10, 2010 –On the same day, during a parade to honor Un, NoKo unveils new Musudan submarine-launched Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile based on Russia’s R-27 sub-launched missile.
October 27, 2010 – NoKo hilarious propaganda outrage over US refusal to accept their “research” into how the sinking of the Cheonan was not caused by them. It’s good for a laugh, their denial of their nutless history regarding trustworthiness.
November 4, 2010 – Cuba’s Raul Castro meets with Vice-Chairman of North Korea’s military Ri Yong Ho, who left NoKo on October 28 for the meeting.
November 8, 2010 – The LA Mystery Missile is born, and in spite of what multiple American Generals know, what multiple military analysts know, and what our own eyes saw, the Pentagon sells out and demands it was most definitely NOT a missile, but provides NO evidence of the plane it insists it is. WARCHICK warns on Facebook and Twitter: This is North Korea, mark my words. Everyone laughs.
November 10, 2010 – A Red Blaze is seen behind the Empire State Building. Just a plane, you people who have been seeing Condensation Trails (contrails) for over 40 years now are stupid and don’t know what you’re seeing. Move along.
November 11, 2010 – Another Mystery Missile, this time on the other side of the States, in Queens, NY. Again, it’s only a plane, nothing to see here.
November 21, 2010 – The world is shocked when Professor Siegfried Hecker reveals an astonishingly modern and advanced covert Uranium Enrichment Plant North Korea eagerly showed him.
November 22, 2010 – As a result of the revelation of NoKo AGAIN breaking their word (do they even know what that phrase means? Do we?), US pushes (more like butterfly kisses) NoKo to AGAIN abandon nuclear ambitions.
November 23, 2010 – In response to America’s “Pretty Please?” NoKo launches 200 artillery shells on the South Korean island of Yeonpeyong. White House crickets chirp.
November 23, 2010 – WARCHICK gets last laugh, but finds it patently un-funny, yells and throws things at TV, and AGAIN breaks down the obvious for the Reality TV crowd and those assuming Kingship along Egypt’s most famous river.
And our response to every violent NoKo action?
“North Korea, that was very naughty of you. How about more money and aid?”
Look, people. All of these sky sightings are NOT coincidence, for there is no such thing. We are about to see a world war, and the forces of Islam and Communism—hence the term I coined ISLAMMUNISM—have been planning for almost 2 decades now. It is upon us, and we’ve been down this road too many times in the past 2 centuries to feign ignorance as to what to do now. WE KNOW WHAT TO DO; IT’S THE APPLICATION WHERE WE’RE FAILING.
“But as ye have once rejected these things, and have fought against the people of the Lord, even so I may expect you will do it again…
“…But behold, it supposeth me that I talk to you concerning these things in vain; or it supposeth me that thou art a child of hell…
“…I will come against you with my armies; yea, even I will arm my women and my children, and I will come against you, and I will follow you even into your own land…and it shall be blood for blood, yea, life for life; and I will give you battle even until you are destroyed from off the face of the earth.
“Behold, I am in my anger, and also my people; ye have sought to murder us, and we have only sought to defend ourselves. But behold, if ye seek to destroy us more we will seek to destroy you…” –epistle from Capt. Moroni to the wicked Ammoron, Alma 54: 8,11,12-13, Book of Mormon
THAT is how you SPEAK to evil; THAT is how you ACT toward evil!
Sh*t, meet fan. Don’t know how to say it in Chinese, and wouldn’t even if I did. I’m an American, and I speak English…and now, violence, because THAT is the language they understand.
Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.
