Yes, womens rights are heading in the proper direction. Next the wrong headed Spinx and those pesky pyramids will the Islamic fashion make over.
These pictures say it all. The Islamic world has
plunged into darkness & cruelty.
Ignorance & rage rule.

In all seriousness, we see the depth of the so-called Women’s Movement (they are nothing but a mask for Totalitarian Socialism) here. Protests that the Catholic Church doesn’t want to pay for abortion, but nary a word against the Islamophillic path of the Obama Administration. Their priorities are stounding. It is depressing that over half of the women in this country fell for that deception. More prof that a nasty campaign works. I hope the Republicans are paying attention. Yeah, more outreach to the Hispanic community couldn’t hurt, but we should start by pointing out that the Obama Administration is the most anti-Catholic Administration in US History. Any pretense of gloves should come off. We need to get doewn in the mud and knife the fuckers. Politics is War. The Democrats get this. The Republicans do not, and that more than anything is why they lose.

We have a Somoli colony in the middle part of our state. They haven’t been welcomed by the locals. Some people understand that Islam is an imperial ideology bent on conquering us. The Obama Administration understands that as well. That is why they are importing Muslims as quickly as they can. Obama and crew want us conquered. That is another reason for the out-of-control spending. They want us too bankrupt to be able to defend ourselves.

Wow! I knew Cornel West was delusional, but check this out:
Gotthat? obama is really a Republican! Why am I so despondent, then? This guy is a nut on a soapbox, but he carries a pretty big megaphone. There are a lot of people that still take him seriously. I do not know why.
Cornel West has to be really far left to think that way.
@ Iron Fist:
And read the comments. These people are really scary. They make the Outsider seem reasonable…
@ Iron Fist:
Obama a Republican?
This is too funny!
@ Purre:
In Cornel West’s Ideal America, the blacks would own white slaves in “common”, as everything would be owned in common. He is a racist and a comitted Leftist in the anrchosyndicalist tradition. I can’t think of a viler man in American politics. He makes Sharpton look “reasonable”.
Cornel West thinks Obama is a Progressive rather than an anti-colonialist, third world liberationist, America hater.
Akin/Mourdock. 2016. Not the same players, but the same message.

@ heysoos:

Until we empowered it by transferring massive amounts of wealth in exchange for oil, however, it really didn’t matter much to the rest of us.
I look forward to the day when that condition returns.

I’ll ask you again, exactly what do you think will happen when America’s National Debt hits 150% GDP? That’ll be about 2016, BTW. Do you think a magical economics fairy will come sprinkle magic dust on it an make it all better? What do you think will happen to the economy when the Chinese won’t lend us money a effectively 0% interest? Some answers would be nice.

The talking points fairy hasn’t given him any. It’s apparently stuck on nonsense about Senate races.

That’ll never happen under Obama. In fact, the Obama Administration just put more tha a million acres off-limits for fracing. But it is OK! He spent billions to help Brazil to get their petroleum industry running…
@ Daffy Duck:
Of course, those projections assume that our government allows it to happen, which is highly unlikely.
While production on private land increases, it’s steadily declining on public lands as the government restricts permits.
Iron Fist wrote:
I particularly like the argument against building the Keystone pipeline, which is that it would let all that icky oil come into the US at lower prices to be burned.
Apparently, those geniuses think that without the pipeline, the Canadians will just leave the oil in the ground.
What’s actually going to happen is it will be sent to China for them to burn. Given the lack of efficiency and pollution standards they have, the resulting emissions will be far higher than they would be from our use of the same oil.
That fact alone proves that the environmentalists really don’t care about anything but destroying our economy.

Oh, I know all that. I thought the article was “hilarious” -- total double-speak. The country is in the toilet, but according to these idiots, in 5 or 10 years, everything will be peachy.
@ lobo91:
Exactly, and the last 3 paragraphs speak directly to that global warming charade.
@ Daffy Duck:
Another factor in those calculations is reduction in domestic energy demand.
Some of it’s the result of increased efficiency, but a larger part is probably due to the fact that people simply can’t afford to pay for it. Obama actually took credit for the reduction in imported oil. I suppose it’s true that he’s responsible, but not for the reason he implied.
Broke people don’t buy much.

That’s all the Green Hoax has ever been about. Look at the Kyoto Accord. When the United States declined to comitt economic suicide, it broke apart. Even Japan didn’t implement it. All it ever was was a stealth attack on the American Economy. If we hadn’t been dumbed down by four decades of unionized teachers, we’d laugh at that BS. As is, a good percentage of the electorate believes it, with the fervant ernestness that a child believes in Santa Clause.
Even more telling would be a graph showing economic trends. Egypt just last year compared to this year for example. The famines will be starting soon, soon being the next 5 to ten years for many Islamist countries like Turkey and Libya, but maybe months for Egypt, and Iran. As the Mullahs gain control of oil companies their production begins to drop, Egypt doesn’t even have much oil, and they produce little else. Tough times ahead for Mullah led countries.
@ Tanker:
But don’t forget — he CARES about them. Romney didn’t CARE about them like Obama did.
You know who’s supposed to care about you? Your effing FAMILY. Not the government. Once again, you have idiots who voted for Obama because they believed that garbage that evil Mitt Romney would take away their birth control. Yeah right. Nixon/Ford/Reagan/Bush 41/Bush 43 didn’t take it away, or try to criminalize abortion again, but that evil Mitt Romney would. Meanwhile it’s going to come as a real shock when you babes have no JOBS and no HEALTH CARE that Obama doesn’t give a crap about you anymore -- he got your lame-ass vote because you’re too damn stupid to vote for someone who had real world experience in fixing economic disasters.
@ lobo91:
The left seems hell-bent in bringing about a dystopic world. I do not understand their fascination with such a world, but it got me thinking of some sort of “Mad Max” future where jobs for the 47% would be pushing a turnstile all day to generate power for their betters. And then I see, it’s already in the works:

@ Rodan:
Well, this should be interesting. I think we’ll be so over Black Presidents by then, they may want to rethink it. Besides, hasn’t Patrick made a complete and utter bankrupt debacle out of Messachusetts after Romney left it in pretty good fiscal shape?
@ Rodan:
Yeah, we need to be preparing for that. We need to run the nastiest campaign in history against them. Call them out for the traitors that they are. Like I do the Outsider, simply ask them repeatedly what their answer is to when America hits 150% GDP in debt. We’ll be getting there about 2016, so they’d better have an answer. “Borrow more money from the Chinese” isn’t acceptable. After all, the Chinese will call in their loans sometime. All they are doing is (quite reasonably, from their perspective) buyin gthe results of the next big war in the Pacific. After our economy collapses, they’ll be able to do what they want without interference from anyone. No one on th eplanet will have the Navy to challenge them.

Andrew Napolitano is yapping about the Petraeus affair.
He apparently doesn’t understand how government email accounts work. When you log onto the system, there’s a message that says that you have no expectation of privacy, and that your messages can be monitored by government officials without a warrant.
@ lobo91:
In fact, private employers tell you the same thing. You have no expectation of privacy when using firm email. I just worked on a research paper on the discoverability of emails -- perhaps I should send Hizzoner a copy.
