What’s New Today
Story #1
tells looks at the Zimmerman file and finds it lacking anything to support
murder. #2 and #3 are political
ads. #2 is an interesting one from the
Catholic faith with great music and visuals.
#3 is one for young people. It
doesn’t tell anyone to do anything by to join the conversation. #4 explains why you can’t compromise with a
liberal Since what they want is more,
you have to give them more our you are an extremist. #5 is an interesting look inside a classroom
in North Carolina. The teacher is a
bully with her students but her students fight back.
Today’s Thoughts
Heard a great comment today about the green
movement and the many who see the USA as
the worst combination in the world, Progress and Freedom. Here’s the comment, today’s green movement is Himmler in a green shirt.
Is President Obama patriotic?
Is it
patriotic to promise to fundamentally change America? If you find a bit of an enigma in that, it probably
because it is confusing since patriotism is love of your country. If you love it, why do you want to
fundamentally change it?
It seems 64% of the voters would prefer fewer government
service and lower taxes than prefer more government services and higher
taxes.
This will come as a shock to President Obama.
1. The Zimmerman File
The most damning part of the
183-page document dump released by the prosecution yesterday in the
second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of
Trayvon Martin is the eyewitness the media would rather you never hear from.
The eyewitness did not see the beginning of the fight, but
had a clear view of it when he heard George Zimmerman crying for help and went
to his door. He saw George Zimmerman on his
back on the ground. Trayvon Martin,
according to the eyewitness, was sitting on Zimmerman’s chest, raining down
blows from a mount position, “MMA style.” From the investigator’s
description of a witness statement on page 38 of the discovery documentation…
This doesn’t reinforce the narrative put forward by many in
the news and the agitators like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. What it appears we have is a tragedy, but not
murder.
2. Test of Fire--A Catholic Ad for 2012
Great visuals and music.
3. Crossroad Generation—A nonpartisan partisan ad
This is an interesting ad.
It only calls for the younger generation to join the discussion, but the
problems it lays out aren’t good for Obama and the Democrats.
4. Compromising with Liberals
I forced myself to watch Bill Maher
this Friday as I was trying to chart out this column. Thankfully I hadn’t just
eaten.
It was sickening to listen as
cerebral dwarves Maher and some not-so-bright jackass from the fascist rag The
Nation talked about how Republicans
and the Tea Party are evil and the cause of all our economic problems while
Rhodes Scholar and former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J. sat there smirking
like a broken Muppet. The world in which progressives live makes the world J.K.
Rowling created for Harry Potter seem normal.
And it wasn’t just the economy
conservatives had wrecked. This august
panel also blamed conservatives and the Tea Party for what they determined was
the rebirth of racism in this country. More than that, they believe racism is worse now that at any time in recent history.
The evidence of this, as is often the case with progressives, is their say-so.
There’s nothing like being lectured by three wealthy white progressives about
the plight of minorities in the world….
Conservatives want less government involvement in people’s
lives, smaller, constitutionally limited government and lower taxes for
everyone. When two sides are pitted against
one another, one side wanting higher taxes and more spending while the other
wants lower taxes, or at least no increase, and less spending (or even just a
decrease in the rate of increase) how do they compromise? Where is the middle
ground?
It’s always the side that wants a bigger, more intrusive,
ever-expanding government who wins in that compromise, no matter how much “compromise” there is, because they get more. And the goal is always
“more.”….
It’s no wonder the left see the right as unwilling to
compromise. It doesn’t register to them
that compromise could actually involve moving toward the Conservatives
position. If the democrats want to
increase spending by $500 billion and the Republicans want decrease it by $500 billion to the Democrats
increasing spending by $100 billion is a huge move on their part even though it
requires Republicans to move by $600 billion and violate their principles.
5. Social
Studies Teacher jumps all over students not buying her anti-Romney line
…The kerfuffle started after one student
asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney
was a bully back in high school. A student asked:
“Didn’t Obama bully somebody, though?”
The teacher started to get angry and said:
“Not to my knowledge.”
A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting
that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse
on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry
teacher.
“Stop! Stop! Because there’s no comparison. He’s running for
president. Obama is the president.”
As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided
debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by
the teacher. She continued:
“You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama
is. There’s no comparison.”
Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the
histories of both men, with one saying:
“If you’re gonna talk trash about one side, you gotta talk
trash about the other.”
The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press
her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:
“You will not disrespect the president of the United States
in this classroom.”
Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment
right.
“I’ll say what I want.”
The still unidentified teacher read the student her
rules…her Obama rules.
“Not about him, you won’t!”
The back and forth continued and the most strident of the
two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to
negative statements about him while he was in office:
“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about
him.”
To which the teacher responded:
“Because he was sh-tty.”
The social studies educator went on for a full minute with
more ranting, saying that people were
arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student
correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be
arrested unless you threaten the president.
Our research has not turned up a single case of anyone in
America being arrested for speaking ill of former President Bush….
They got all of this on tape and the
students sounds a lot more mature than the teacher. I recommend you listen to it. Technology today is bilging a lot of people
in positions of authority.
