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.
College Football Playoff Bonus
Urban Meyer earned a $50,000 bonus with Ohio State’s dramatic win over Alabama in the first College Football Playoff. According to Bloomberg that’s one of the lower bonuses in the new world of college football.
Innocence of Muslims Review
The Interview is a satirical movie in which North Korean leader Kim Jong-un gets whacked. The N Koreans allegedly took great offense at this. In retribution they hacked Sony Entertainment. So they say.
One thing the Hermit Kingdom and many critics agree on is that the movie stinks. Sony agreed to pull it from theaters. President Obama was quick to criticize Sony for this. That only increased the appeal of the movie and now it’s a pirate hit.
When the US Embassy in Benghazi was hit by terrorists the White House was quick to blame the attack on another lousy movie, Innocence of Muslims. Our own Dear Leader’s passion for free speech blazed less fervently in those days. The movie’s producer was thrown in jail.
Bush vs Clinton the sequel
It’s way early but as of now it’s Bush vs Clinton for president. Jeb is the leader the pack of Republican presidential candidates. Hillary remains heir apparent for the Democrats.
W paints a confusing picture of the royal bloodline by calling, My sweet Dad, a wonderful father to Bill and me.
The Week says embrace the dynasty.
At this point what difference does it make?
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.
