MONTEL AND THE ‘DIVINE MISS M': Deliriously Delighted at the Duggars’ Devastation : by Steve Pauwels
from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 05:01 PMYeesh — I thought the eruption of schadenfreude from New-England-Patriots-dissers against quarterback Tom Brady was unsettling -– but "Deflategate" ain't anything.
At least not compared to the slavering glee storming social media over "Duggargate". Now that is positively gob-smacking.
Twenty-seven-year-old Josh Duggar, oldest scion of Jim Bob and Michelle, whose 19 Kids and Counting was one of TLC's most popular reality-TV offerings, has admitted to molesting – described as "inappropriate touching" — several young girls, approximately twelve years ago; some of his sisters among them. Mom and Dad Duggar addressed the situation — but not forcefully enough by the reckoning of some howling detractors. http://www.people.com/article/josh-duggar-molestation-accusations-d...
The series was unceremoniously yanked from the network's broadcast schedule. Paying sponsors fled. Josh Duggar issued a public mea culpa and promptly resigned his position with the high-profile, pro-family, pro-traditional-marriage Family Research Council (FRC).
Still, forces on the Gay-is-grand, Real-Christianity-s*cks Left can barely contain their outrage; or their giddiness.
Television personality Montel Williams, for instance: Upon this news' breaking, the fifty-eight-year-old, former talk-host gloatingly blasted the perpetrator, his family, even his employer. "Josh Duggar is a bigot, slimebag. Whole family is, and FRC is a scam." http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/montel-williams-blasts-josh-duggar-...
Of course, Williams lurched to Luke 6:37 ("Judge not, lest you be judged"), the favorite, go-to Scripture for those wanting to ignore the rest of what the Bible teaches. http://www.mediaite.com/online/montel-williams-defends-duggar-rant-...
I'd long regarded Montel as a not particularly penetrating, standard-issue, celebrity-culture liberal — but his stock inched up a bit in my index owing to his recent efforts focusing attention on Marines wrongly imprisoned abroad. His venomous, hysterical rants in this Duggar matter, however, have tempered even that; it develops he's just another spouter of fuzzy-headed leftism.
"And to those who claim I hate Christians," fumed Williams toward some of his Duggar-supporting critics , "how dare you?" http://www.mediaite.com/online/montel-williams-defends-duggar-rant-...
Well, Montel, maybe because of tweets like this: "Josh Duggar, a world class bigot ... has consistently stated that LGBT folks r a danger to kids ... NOPE, JOSH DUGGAR IS." [Emphasize in original]. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/montel-williams-blasts-josh-duggar-... http://clashdaily.com/2015/06/montel-and-the-divine-miss-m-simply-d...;
KISS OUR ANTI-GOVT @SS: NYT Says, Anti-Govt Types Are The Source Of 'Ideological Violence' in USA
from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 04:31 PM
Forget Muslim terrorists who hate America as the biggest threats – the people who actually love America are the threats according to the NYT.
Let's just completely ignore the constant threat of Islamist terror and the leftwing street marauders rioting around the country. We've got the New York Times helpfully cherry-picking and twisting some statistics to help pretend there's some right-wing plot to undermine America. Yes, nearly 14 years after 9/11, the "right" are still the greatest threat facing America.
The stupid, it hurts. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/opinion/the-other-terror-threat.h...
THIS month, the headlines were about a Muslim man in Boston who was accused of threatening police officers with a knife. Last month, two Muslims attacked an anti-Islamic conference in Garland, Tex. The month before, a Muslim man was charged with plotting to drive a truck bomb onto a military installation in Kansas. If you keep up with the news, you know that a small but steady stream of American Muslims, radicalized by overseas extremists, are engaging in violence here in the United States. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/usaama-rahim-boston-terrorism-... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/05/us/garland-texas-shooting-muhamma... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/11/us/kansas-man-charged-with-plotti...
But headlines can mislead. The main terrorist threat in the United States is not from violent Muslim extremists, but from right-wing extremists. Just ask the police.
In a survey we conducted with the Police Executive Research Forum last year of 382 law enforcement agencies, 74 percent reported anti-government extremism as one of the top three terrorist threats in their jurisdiction; 39 percent listed extremism connected with Al Qaeda or like-minded terrorist organizations. And only 3 percent identified the threat from Muslim extremists as severe, compared with 7 percent for anti-government and other forms of extremism. http://www.policeforum.org/ http://www.jammiewf.com/2015/ny-times-right-wing-anti-government-ex...
Carly Fiorina’s Common Sense on Illegal Immigration : By Onan Coca
from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 04:01 PMHey fellow conservative, how's this for some no-nonsense talk on immigration?
Well, in my view, we also have to fix the illegal immigration system, which has been broken for about 25 years now. No one's -- everyone talks about comprehensive solutions but nobody starts with the basics. My own view is, if you have come here illegally and stayed here illegally, that you don't get a path to citizenship.
Wow! This comment came not from Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio or Scott Walker, but from dark horse candidate Carly Fiorina. Fiorina has been firing up the GOP crowds coast to coast over the last few months and positions like this are why. She is willing to say the logical and honest things that GOP candidates should be saying. She goes further to say that "legal status" may be possible, but it is simply immoral to give law-breaking illegal immigrants a free pass while law abiding legal immigrants wait as many as 10 years to get here legally!
Fiorina made these comments on MSNBC's Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on Monday, and I'd be willing to bet they'll be well received in the conservative corners of the Internet.
Watch for the immigration bit, but stay for the entire interview; it's well worth your time. Carly Fiorina is a force to be reckoned with.

ISIS: Still Raging Hell as White House Dithers : Sonya Sasser
from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 03:56 PM
After President Obama was criticized last week for not having a "complete strategy" to defeat the brutal terror group ISIS (Islamic State), he has now approved sending up to 450 additional U.S. troops to Iraq primarily to equip and train more Iraqis. But is this really going to make a difference? http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/06/08/obama-we-dont-have-complete-s... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/10/obama-approves-sending-u...
Especially since the U.S. has already spent $25 billion in aid, investing in training and equipping the Iraqi military, only to have those brave warriors run from ISIS militants like high school cheerleaders. Not to mention the fact that the extremists captured significant quantities of US-manufactured weapons (from Iraqis) and have used them on the battlefield. The definition of insanity is attempting the same strategy over and over again expecting a different result.
As FOX host Bill O'Reilley pointed out, "Sending a few hundred more folks into Iraq because you're embarrassed, Mr. President, not a plan." http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/06/10/bill-oreilly-talking-points-m...
Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (Ret.) added, "The president has decided to take advice from his civilian advisors with no military experience, rather than from serious military planners. You cannot possibly defeat the Islamic State with these airstrikes controlled by lawyers."
It's been a year since ISIS began raping and pillaging its way through Iraq's Nineveh province, emptying the city of Mosul of its Christian population. Since then, ISIS has captured Fallujah and Ramadi, two other major cities U.S. troops fought and died to secure before Obama took office. The brutal regime has driven tens of thousands from Northern Iraq, kidnapped, tortured, and murdered thousands of Iraqi soldiers, raped hundreds of women and young girls, and committed countless beheadings, including that of Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
There is estimated to be 31,000 militants on the fields of Iraq and Syria, doubling their number since last fall.
ISIS is much more than the "JV team" President Obama once described, and it's not going away any time soon. It is an established army with thirty-five square miles of prime Middle East real estate, raking in nearly up to $3 million per day in revenue.
The ultimate long-term goal of ISIS is to expand its current state to the four corners of the earth, imposing Sharia law on all mankind and either slaughtering those who do not comply, or forcing them to live a humiliating second-class existence. Of course, it does indeed, have the United States in its sights. In fact, the group is already attempting to use Libya as its new 'route to the West'.
According to FOX News: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/14/sources-isis-terrorists-...;
"Islamic State terrorists are said to be using Libya as an "entry point" into Europe, with intelligence sources on the ground in Africa telling Fox News at least 30 ISIS fighters who left from the country have been "picked up" by the Italians in recent weeks.

IMPORTED MUSLIMS ARRIVING NOW IN THESE U.S. CITIES WND reveals big list of Obama's 'receiving communities' : LEO HOHMANN
from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 02:45 PMCheering Syrian rebels. The rebel groups are made up of various Sunni factions all vying to replace the Shiite-led government of Bashar al-Assad. The overwhelming majority of "refugees" coming from Syria are also Sunni Muslim.
A few congressmen are fighting to block the planned importation of thousands of Syrian refugees into American cities and towns, arguing that they present a grave security risk because many Syrians have ties to the Sunni rebel groups ISIS and al-Nusra Front.
But the fact is, as President Obama ignores the concerns of U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and others on the House Homeland Security Committee, the Syrians have already started to arrive stateside.
Since January, more than 70 U.S. cities have been on the receiving end of a Syrian visitation.
WND has compiled a complete list of cities (see chart below) that received Syrian refugees since Jan. 1. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has as many as 11,000 Syrians in a pipeline waiting for admission into the U.S., which is responsible for screening them for criminal and terrorist activity.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, wrote President Obama warning that the Syrian refugee program could become a 'back door for jihadists" to enter the U.S.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, wrote President Obama warning that the Syrian refugee program could become a 'back door for jihadists" to enter the U.S.
And therein lies the problem.
McCaul has tried to block the arrival of the Syrians based on testimony from FBI counter-terrorism experts. As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, he held a hearing on the national security risks of the Syrian refugee program in February and has scheduled a second hearing for June 24. He's also sent two letters to Obama, urging him not to let the U.N. refugee program become a "jihadist pipeline" into the United States. http://homeland.house.gov/sites/homeland.house.gov/files/documents/...
The Syrian civil war, now more than four years old, has chased more than 3.8 million Syrians from their homes, according to the U.N., which has about 130,000 it wants to resettle permanently in outside countries.
Some of the top destination points in the past few months have been in Texas, where the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston have each received more than 20 Syrians since January.
Chicago has received 42 Syrians so far this year, more than any other city, while San Diego has taken in 25 and Phoenix 20.
The troubled city of Baltimore has not been left out. It has received 19 Syrians while Louisville, Kentucky, has taken in 21.
"Baltimore is already suffering with all of the black crime violence (in the wake of the Freddie Gray shooting) and now we're going to plunk down 19 Syrians," said Ann Corcoran, who runs the watchdog blog Refugee Resettlement Watch. "It doesn't make sense." https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/
WND reported earlier this week that 93 percent of the 922 Syrian refugees resettled into the U.S. since the civil war started in 2011 have been Muslim. The vast majority, 86 percent, have been Sunni Muslims, which means some could have ties to the Sunni rebel groups fighting to bring down the government of President Bashar al-Assad, a Shiite Alowite. http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/congressman-slams-obamas-syrian-refugee-...
Assad protected the Christian minorities who have now come under brutal attack from ISIS and al-Nusra. Yet, only 4.9 percent of the 922 Syrians brought to the U.S. so far as refugees have been Christians.
Syria is home to one of the world's oldest Christian communities. It was in Antioch, Syria, where followers of Jesus Christ were first called "Christians," yet their churches have been destroyed and their families decimated by ISIS and al-Nusra terrorists. Many have watched family members beheaded or shot in front of their eyes.
"Syria represents the single largest convergence of Islamic terrorists in history," McCaul wrote in his June 11 letter to Obama.

from Doofiegirl on 06/18/2015 01:58 PM1. Networks Skip Report Feds Unable to Verify $2.8 Billion in ObamaCare Subsidies
The top English and Spanish networks refused on Tuesday evening to cover the findings of a federal audit report from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) that concluded that just under $3 billion in ObamaCare subsidies have been unable to be properly verified that, according to the audit, puts taxpayer funding "at risk." While the broadcast networks ignored this story, the FNC's Special Report devoted a one-minute-and-48-second segment to the IG's findings.
2. ABC, NBC Again Yawn at Clinton Ally Testifying Before Benghazi Committee; CBS Moves on
After ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today ignored on Tuesday that longtime Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal was set to testify hours later before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, their evening news counterparts joined with the CBS Evening News to also duck this story. The omission of Blumenthal's testimony by the CBS Evening News follows CBS This Morning's scant 20 seconds of coverage on the issue.
3. ABC and NBC Ignore Clinton 'Confidant' Testifying Before Benghazi Committee
On Tuesday, Sidney Blumenthal, longtime friend and confidant to Bill and Hillary Clinton, is scheduled to testify before the House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks but ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today ignored it altogether. CBS This Morning devoted a mere 20 second news brief to the story during its Tuesday broadcast.
4. Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Is 'So Good and Adept' At Handling the Press
Yet again, MSNBC has revived the narrative that Hillary Clinton is good at dealing with the press and answering questions. Making an appearance on Monday's Rachel Maddow Show, Andrea Mitchell talked up Hillary as being "so good and adept" at handling the press. At least Mitchell added that Clinton had struggled to respond to questions "about the emails and at some points during her book tour."
5. MSNBC's Dyson Contends Blacks Consider Rachel Dolezal More Black Than Clarence Thomas
On Monday's The Ed Show, Michael Eric Dyson, MSNBC political analyst and frequent guest host on the "Lean Forward" network, used the ongoing controversy surrounding Rachel Dolezal claiming to be African American to deride Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Dyson asserted: "I bet a lot more black people would support Rachel Dolezal than would support say Clarence Thomas."
6. Ed Show Producer Joins Bernie Sanders' Presidential Campaign
The revolving door between Democratic administrations, campaigns, and the news media swung once again on Tuesday. A producer on MSNBC's The Ed Show is leaving the program at the end of the week to join the 2016 Democratic presidential campaign of self-described socialist Bernie Sanders. According to TVNewser, Arianna Jones will "be deputy communications manager for the campaign."

"According to a search of the Miami-Dade and Duval County court dockets, the Rubios have been cited for numerous infractions over the years for incidents that included speeding, driving through red lights and careless driving. A review of records dating back to 1997 shows that the couple had a combined 17 citations: Mr. Rubio with four and his wife with 13....Mr. Rubio's troubles behind the wheel predate his days in politics...."

No Complaints About Obama's $18 Trillion National Debt, But...
"A review of the Rubio family's finances — including many new documents — reveals a series of decisions over the past 15 years that experts called imprudent: significant debts; a penchant to spend heavily on luxury items like the boat and the lease of a $50,000 2015 Audi Q7; a strikingly low savings rate, even when Mr. Rubio was earning large sums; and inattentive accounting that led to years of unpaid local government fees....As Mr. Rubio, 44, seeks to counter questions about his stature and readiness for the presidency, his financial history creates particular complications."
— From a front-page New York Times story by correspondents Steve Eder and Michael Barbaro, June 10.
"He is one of the Republicans' fastest rising stars, just 44, the youngest presidential candidate in the field. But this morning, new scrutiny is focused on Florida Senator Marco Rubio's financial struggles and spending habits....The New York Times this week detailed Rubio's debt and mortgages, including his purchase of three homes, putting no money down on two of them."

Wacky Chris Matthews: "Most Democrats Are Not Lefties"
"If Hillary Clinton is a lefty, I didn't know it, okay. She's not a lefty. She is a centrist politician, a Democratic, a mainstream Democrat. Most Democrats are not lefties. I think one in three Democrats would even identify as liberal, much less the new term for progressive."

"It's clear that with the base of the Democratic Party there's a lot of resonance for Bernie Sanders, who is to the left of Hillary Clinton, who is growing more to the left of herself every day....When Bill Clinton ran for president, he was kind of the centrist. It won't work to be a centrist anymore in the Democratic Party because it's moved so far to the left."

Far-Right Shift Drove "Conservative" Chafee from "Shrunken GOP Tent"
"Thanks to Lincoln Chafee's recent entrée into the 2016 primary, it would seem that a majority of the Democratic Party's expected contenders are former conservatives who converted to liberalism later in life. That's what you'd guess from their shifting party affiliations, at least: Chafee, James Webb and even Hillary Clinton all once proudly called themselves Republicans....But for Chafee and Webb, the transformation seems to have been less a result of shifting views than shifting goal posts. The candidates themselves didn't get more liberal; the conservative party these moderates once identified with got radically more conservative...The polarization has been asymmetric, with Republicans having moved much further right than Democrats have moved left."
— Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell, previously a New York Times business reporter, in a June 5 column: "The GOP's Shifting Goal Posts."
Touting Hillary's "Brilliant" Call for More Early Voting
"It works politically. But I think she's right on the issue....One of the great frauds that Republicans have perpetrated over the past generation has been this idea of voter fraud, that people are showing up — 31 cases in 14 years, Judy, of people stealing identity or voting improperly. So, I think she's absolutely right."
— Columnist Mark Shields on PBS's NewsHour, June 5.
"Politically, it's a brilliant move. For her base, it's a brilliant move. And also, just as an American, it's a brilliant move. Because the ideas that she put forth, I mean Governor Kasich called her out because there's no early voting in New York. But one of her proposals is to have at least 20 days of early voting nationwide. So she's forcing them to have a conversation on something she cares about on her terms."

"Anti-government militia sympathizer Timothy McVeigh....was executed in 2001, but since then, some of his militia ideals have gone mainstream and even been introduced as laws in many states, including Oklahoma. Legislators in dozens of states have submitted proposals to nullify or block federal laws — a longtime goal of militias. These have included exempting states from federal gun laws and educational standards, as well as, of course, ObamaCare. That doesn't make these anti-federal statutes part of McVeigh's madness, but Republican politicians now often echo conspiracy theories once relegated to troglodyte pamphlets....When politicians court a base that believes the federal government is the enemy, it becomes nearly impossible to negotiate. Judging by the gridlocked committee rooms of the Capitol, that metaphorical truck bomb has already detonated in the heart of the American political process."

Defense of traditional values played a big role in the 2004 campaign....But what we're now learning about the Speaker of the House during those years is beyond anything one could have imagined...."

"Anybody who thinks they need guns — there's a gun for every man, woman and child in the country to protect against the corrupt and arrogant and pervasive government. Is that what he [Vaughn] said?

ISIS has Enough Radioactive Material to Build 'Dirty Bomb' : by Tad Cronn
from Doofiegirl on 06/16/2015 06:59 PMIt's not exactly rocket science, but ISIS could have captured enough radioactive material to build its first "dirty bomb," according to Australian intelligence.
It's also no secret that ISIS has plans to try to acquire as many weapons of mass destruction as possible. They said so in their magazine. (Ain't 21st century terrorism grand?)
NATO has also expressed worries about ISIS's capture of hospitals and research centers where radioactive materials are stored.
Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop said the concern about ISIS and radioactive materials was "really worrying" top officials who recently called an urgent meeting of the Australia Group, a 40-nation organization devoted to preventing the spread of WMDs.
A dirty bomb is not the same as a full nuclear device. The explosive does not achieve fission and is not at first as destructive as a nuke.
But a dirty bomb can spread nuclear materials over a wide area, effectively poisoning people far beyond the initial blast radius. At least, that's the theory.
ISIS obviously has the capability of building some large and dangerous bombs. All they have to do is pack one with the captured nuclear material.

Interracial Marriage is NOT the Same as Same-Sex Marriage : By Gary DeMar
from Doofiegirl on 06/16/2015 06:56 PMThe homosexual movement has hitched its wagon to the racial equality train. In days past, interracial marriages were prohibited by law in some states. Homosexuality was prohibited by law in every state. The laws have since changed concerning interracial marriages; therefore, the laws should change for same-sex marriage.
Is this a legitimate analogy? It's not. First, same-sex marriage wasn't even a consideration when anti-interracial marriages were outlawed.
Second, homosexuality was against the law for everybody. While interracial marriage was illegal in some states, homosexuality was illegal for everybody.
Third, adultery, bigamy, and polygamy were also against the law for all races.
Fourth, race is not a sex act.
Fifth, there are a majority of blacks who resent the comparison between the sex act of homosexuality and race equality.
Sixth, laws against "race mixing" and "miscegenation" were about racial purity. They emerged during a time when white supremacy was in vogue and eugenics was considered to be scientifically and legally (by the Supreme Court no less) legitimate.

The Power and Beauty of Freedom : By Michael Reisig
from Doofiegirl on 06/16/2015 06:53 PMFreedom – throughout history men and women have dreamed of that word. They've spoken of it in hushed whispers around cooking fires, they've downed tankards to it in taverns, and they have shouted the word in gallant charges, and from the walls of shattered bastions, where they fought and died for it.
Nations have chased the dream it represents. Some have caught it briefly, but it's proven to be an elusive commodity in this world, because actual freedom is independent thought – it's not what we acquire, it's how we think, and what we're allowed to think, or say.
Freedom in its youth is euphoric – young and strong – but it seems the longer a nation enjoys this commodity the less it respects it, and the less it is willing to sacrifice to keep it. The sense of privilege erodes and an atmosphere of arrogant lethargy takes its place, and when that happens, freedom can morph into velvet chains. The less a people think for themselves the more inclined they are to sacrifice freedom for the drone of "the hive."
I don't know who said it, but I love the expression: "You don't know how much you loved something until it's taken away," and freedom certainly applies. But the truth is, freedom, just like every other valuable commodity, has to be earned. America is full of people shouting the word, but today, what they're really shouting for is independence from responsibility, and exclusion from regulations, and that's not freedom. As soon as someone else supplies you with the means to survive, they own you.

america-freedomWe hear the shouts...
"Freedom from taxes..."
"Freedom from authority..."
"Freedom from the drudgery of earning a living..."
"Freedom from marital and child-rearing responsibility..."
"Freedom from laws that we don't agree with..."
When you package the above you don't have freedom, you have anarchy. At some point the illusion of freedom will become too difficult to maintain – someone will remove the props and pull open the curtain at the back of the stage, and everyone will see the concrete wall of the theater...
