Charlie Hebdo
The cartoon on the drawing board is the same one that appeared on the cover of an issue of the French satire mag Charlie Hebdo. Twelve people including cartoonists and editors were murdered by Allahu Akbar screaming barbarians at a Charlie Hebdo editorial meeting. No one was water boarded.
As with the Danish Cartoon Crisis, Few media outlets have published the offending cartoons. Score another one for the terrorists. The Israeli paper Haaretz and Drudge Report are exceptions.
After French president Hollande called the murders an act of terrorism President Obama agreed. There was no mention of Islamic terrorism.
The Vatican called it a double attack on people and a free press.
In a New Year’s day speech the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, actually criticized the Muslim world for condoning terrorism.
It’s inconceivable that the thinking that we hold most sacred should cause the entire umma [Islamic world] to be a source of anxiety, danger, killing and destruction for the rest of the world.
Eric Holder says we’re a nation of cowards. And so we are.
But not for the reasons he thinks. It’s not because we won’t stand up for the liberty of the minority. We won’t even stand up for our own liberty of the majority.
Here in the politically correct West we are free to mock Jesus and Jews but not The Prophet of Islam.
In 2012 President Barack Hussein Obama told the UN, ” the future must not belong to those who slander The Prophet”.
Want to throw shit on the Virgin Mary? Knock yourself out.
Well, some cartoonists in Paris gave it a go anyway. They had the balls to slander the Prophet. The future does not belong to them. They are dead.
They should have dumped dung on Mary.
Today, as after the Danish Cartoon Crisis, mainstream media outlets are not publishing the cartoons. We have found the cowards. They are us.
de Blasio Has Your Backside
I seem to be on a bare backside jag.
Members of the New York Police Department turned their backs on Mayor de Blasio when he spoke at the funeral of a slain officer. The number of police officers shot to death increased 56% this year. On Sunday a New York cop said, “I’m not writing any summonses. Do you think I’m going to stand there so someone can shoot me or hit me in the head with an ax?”
de Blasio
Mark Steyn says a sort of Green Zone is being erected to protect America’s elite.
The Obamas and de Blasios and Sharptons will always be inside the fence. The effects of their policies are largely on the other side.
Can’t Breathe
I can’t breathe has become code for racist police behavior. The real reason Eric Garner died is insane tax grabbing behavior.
Eric Garner
Eric Garner was selling cigarettes without paying taxes on them. If he were Al Sharpton he would have been invited to the White House. Instead he was killed by the cops. The untaxed cigarettes are called loosies and former Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD chief wanted loosies stamped out. What next…open season on ticket scalpers?
This wasn’t about race it was about loosies. John Kass in the Chicago Tribune says Eric Garner was cutting in on the government’s action skimming taxes off of cancer sticks.
Ben Shapiro in Breitbart has a good breakdown of what actually happened. He says Garner died due to a “submission hold” which cut off the flow of blood through arteries in his neck. He was in poor health, suffered from asthma, and weighted 400 lbs.
So, Eric Garner was a huge black man selling cigarettes who was killed by police. Michael Brown was a huge black teenager stealing cigarillos who was also killed by police. But the similarities end there. Brown assaulted an officer and tried to take his gun. Eric Garner was the real “gentle giant”. He didn’t offer resistance yet police put him in a “choke hold”, crammed his face into the pavement, and he died. It’s all on video. You can even hear him say “I can’t breathe”.
Prosecutors are good at getting indictments. One actually indicted Texas governor Rick Perry for vetoing a spending bill. As for ham sandwiches, well we all know they can be indicted.
Not so much when it comes to cops. The WSJ found 1,800 police killings between 2007 and 2012.
Nearly all police killings are deemed by the departments or other authorities to be justifiable.
Maybe they are. Without the police “the ghetto would be the wild wild West”, according to Charles Barkley.
Black Friday
Black Friday won’t be setting sales records in Ferguson. According to the New York Times at least 25 buildings were burned in the violence.
On the bright side over $250,000 in donations have poured in to Natalie DuBose. Her small bakery, Natalie’s Cakes & More, was heavily damaged and she had been unable to fulfill Thanksgiving orders.
