[Hattip Sharon] There’s not much more I can say about Prez SCOAMF’s actions, here. Well, actually, there’s a lot I can say, but it would inevitably end with me frothing at the mouth and chewing the furniture, and fixing that sort of damage is out of my budget right now. . .
From Riehl World View: . . .

The claim is that a decision by the Obama administration put a political speech meant to bolster his chances at re-election, above the desires, traditions and practices of many Vietnam-era military members and their families, who have been coming together at The Wall on Memorial Day for decades, now. No notice was given regarding the closing due to Obama’s decision to use The Wall as backdrop in his Memorial Day speech.
Sources insist it remained closed for hours, until most simply grew frustrated and went away. For decades, individuals have been coming together there on Memorial Day to perform simple acts and observances in keeping with America’s established Memorial Day tradition.

Prepare yourself.  The fight against the Left-Wing Orcs is gonna get ugly.  Real Ugly.  The first battle is Wisconsin. 

(WSJ) — Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership — by more than half for the second-biggest union — since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions.
Now with Mr. Walker facing a recall vote Tuesday, voters will decide whether his policies in the centrist state should continue — or whether they have gone too far.  The election could mark a pivot point for organized labor.  (more)

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, May 31, 2012 — Five months ahead of the presidential election, the Democratic Party is already losing seats to Republicans, as a growing number of elected officials are changing parties over issues like the right to life, the definition of marriage, and the Obama administration’s mandate that religious institutions cover abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans.
Wednesday afternoon, seven local office-holders from three Mississippi counties announced they had voted with their feet.
Each official had different reasons, but Leake County Sheriff Greg Waggoner “specifically said when [Obama] came out in favor of gay ‘marriage,’ that was the last straw,” Brett Kittredge, communications director of the Mississippi Republican Party, told LifeSiteNews.com.
“I’m a Christian, and my first allegiance is to Jesus Christ,” Sheriff Waggoner said. “God established marriage, and He established it between a man and a woman. Those are my beliefs. The Republican Party reflects my beliefs.” (more…)

(BuzzFeed) — Supporters of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama clashed on the steps of the Massachusetts State House in Boston Thursday, in advance of a press conference by Obama senior adviser David Axelrod.
Romney aides, interns, and volunteers flooded out of the campaign’s headquarters here with signs — and bubbles — to protest Axelrod and Obama, while Obama supporters chanted “Hey hey, ho ho, Mitt Romney has got to go.”
Romney supporters responded by chanting “Solllyyynndraaa” like Bruins fans heckling the visiting team.

After he finished his remarks, Axelrod opened the floor to questions, but he couldn’t hear reporters over the protests. (more…)

MSNBC is a faux news propaganda entity selling the far-left talking points from Media Matters et al, 24/7.   Period.   Their entire lineup of pundits, newsies, talking heads and show hosts are specifically and intentionally similar in one key aspect, supporting the far-left in general, and President Obama specifically.
This intellectually honest definition of MSNBC is no longer challenged by any observer of the media or their agenda.   The insufferable lack of objectivity is also why MSNBC lags significantly behind the other news providers;  MSNBC is simply a propaganda machine.
But they carry their echo-chambering message a bit to far at times ergo recently evidenced by host Chris Hayes saying he’s uncomfortable calling fallen soldiers heroes.   He is, for all intents and purposes, a typical far-left prog.   In typical prog elitist fashion his ‘Airs and Graces’ are far superior than all others except those few within his closed circle of like-minded prog elites.
The visible arrogance and pontificating attitude of superiority within such mindsets are the key qualifiers to determine how ideologically entrenched the pundit is on the propaganda channel.   Rachael Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Melissa Harris Perry, Martin Bashir and Chris Hayes are all cut from the exact same cloth.

Yet another example of the hypocrisy of the leftist progs.  Imagine what the headlines would read if the Republican Party announced how it was going to use churches to register and eductate voters?   The left would be demanding retreat and threatening tax-exempt status revocation for any church or minister who would engage.   
Yet, it’s ok to blur the line between Church and State when it fits the agenda of the progs.
WASHINGTON — The Rev. Dr. Franklyn Richardson longs for the old days, when all it took was Sunday sermons by African-American ministers to fire up their flocks to get registered and vote in local, state and federal elections.
“In the past, all we had to do was encourage people to register,” said Richardson, the senior pastor of the Grace Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and Port St. Lucie, Fla., and the chair of the Conference of National Black Churches. “Now it’s a different animal.” (more…)

(Via The Blaze)  On Sunday, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth undergraduate commencement ceremony, where he unleashed a bizarre comment surrounding Trayvon Martin and a black recipient who was at the event to receive an honorary degree. Frank, who was given the Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Medal at the event, created such a surprise with his quip that the audience gasped (and some cheered) as a result.

So, what was it that the leftist lawmaker said that created such a stir? Frank, who seemed to be looking for laughs from those in attendance, commented about academic and social justice crusader Hubie Jones’ honorary degree. The politician, who was clearly attempting to invoke the racial elements surrounding the Martin incident, said that Jones now has an academic hoodie that he can wear without anyone shooting at him.

Following the essential advice of professional money hustlers, TrayMom™ toned down the bling for this visit and sported a more subtle and subdued pin striped suit befitting the financially distressed East St. Louis community church.  However, that didn’t stop TrayMom™ from continuing to pass the plate.   Once again the Scheme Team™ hiding behind the guise of raising funds for the “Trayvon Foundation”™.

[…] Trayvon’s father, Tracy Martin, who grew up in East St. Louis, and his mother, Sybrina Fulton, attended a Stop the Violence rally Friday at the North End Missionary Baptist Church. The church’s capacity was 750, but the crowd filled the sanctuary and spilled outside.

Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon’s family, stirred the packed church by asking them to repeat after him loud enough so Trayvon could hear them: “I am Trayvon Martin.”

He compared the death of Trayvon Martin, 16, on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., after a neighborhood watch member shot the teen, to the death of Emmett Till, 14, who in 1955 was murdered after whistling at a white woman.

Emmett Till’s mother, Mamie, made the “brave decision” to have her son’s brutalized body brought from Mississippi back to Chicago, stopping in cities along the way to let the people know what three white men did to her son.

Then he looked around at the audience and said the Martin family made the decision that they would not be quiet about the situation but would talk, beg, scream and fight until they got justice.  […]

Benjamin Crump knows how to pitch a crowd, and deliver them to a standing fervor while shouting the names of Trayvon™ and TrayMom™.    The tour has steadily improved and become more efficient in performance delivery, each participant more comfortable with their role.   Now, with so many promotional events now under their belt, they are getting quite good at the standard “rally in a coffin box” it takes them no time to swoop in, deliver the message, work up the crowd, and then deliver the fleecing.

(Daily Mail) Police suspected singer Wyclef Jean and activist and TV host Reverend Al Sharpton of being involved in laundering drug money, Brooklyn federal court has heard.

OMG, the level of irony in this one is beyond comprehension….

WASHINGTON DC – In an effort to better educate students and their parents about race relations and social injustice, a D.C. elementary school has declared Friday “Trayvon Martin Day.”

Teachers at Malcolm X Elementary in Southeast are using the unfolding case and the story surrounding Martin as part of their “Let’s Keep Our Children Safe” seminar. (more…)

Pathological Liberalism, how Weineresque !
(Mass Live) — Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so.
Warren’s comments came after nearly four minutes of tense back and forth between Warren and Fox 25 reporter Sharman Sacchetti and 7News reporter Andy Hiller. As both reporters questioned Warren about why she listed herself as a minority in law directories, Warren refused to answer, saying she had already answered questions about her background.
Finally, Warren said, “I am proud of my family and I am proud of my heritage.”
Hiller followed up: “Does it include an Indian background?” (more…)
