If you want to use a walk-off homer to silence the insufferable leftists on the issue of Gay Rights vs. Religious freedom simply ask the following question of the Anderson Coopers and watch them squirm:

If the owner/operator of a “Quick Print” media printing shop is Muslim, and I walk in there with a template image depicting the Prophet Mohammed standing in feces, should the print shop be required or forced to print my bumper stickers or T-shirts ?

Would the progs demand the shop owner be compliant ?  {{{crickets}}}

My liberty driven answer would be “yes”, the shop operator should be allowed to refuse the request based on his/her central tenet of faith.    But, well beyond that easy example my own perspective on freedom and liberty extends to:  Any individual should be free to engage in commerce – or not, contact – or not, relationship – or not, employment – or not, service – or not, for any reason they desire without needing justification.

I respect all people and views, it doesn’t mean I have to agree with them or desire the company of those who afford them.   Respect also means – leave me the hell alone, and don’t force me into relationships that are not determined by my own individual values.

(Via Moonbattery) The Arizona State Senate has once again placed itself in the liberal establishment’s crosshairs, this time by affirming our right not to be compelled to do business with overt homosexuals in situations that violate religious principles.

Media liberals, being extremely overrepresented in the current media, preposterously but predictably screeched like scalded cats that the rights of homosexuals are violated if private citizens are not compelled by the government to enter into relations with them that violate their consciences. Their attempt to equate this with civil rights struggles of the past is an insult that should enrage blacks.

Senate Bill 1062 was explicitly inspired by an outrageous case from neighboring New Mexico, where a Christian photographer was sued for refusing to photograph a ceremony that according to her Christian beliefs was a blasphemous travesty. (more…)

Major kudos to John Fund of NRO who actually went to the heart of what took place this past weekend.    Inside this article you find the substance of when the actual Ukrainian straw was placed on the camels’ back.

Following on the heels of the “brokered” Friday 2/21 agreement one brave journalist went on *LIVE* ( <– important ) TV and did two distinct things.   First she destroyed the claims of the government.  But, more importantly, she showed the Ukrainian people how the media was complicit in telling a false story thereby destroying the construct of the ruse.   There are major lessons for all of us in the USA within her strategy.

EXCELLENT ARTICLE at NRO –  Every revolution has moments where the hinge of history seems to swing wide and everything is different and the old regime is delegitimized.

In Ukraine’s revolution, the moment that’s likely to be immortalized is when protestors charged police barricades in Kiev’s Independence Square (“Maidan”) last Thursday, reportedly capturing a number of police troops, only to have dozens of protesters then gunned down by snipers. Even a face-saving compromise brokered the next day by Western diplomats couldn’t save President Viktor Yanukovych.

His security forces withdrew their support, leaving him unguarded. At 2 a.m. last Saturday, helicopters ferried him and his stooges away from his Michael Jackson–style presidential palace to the Russophone eastern sector of Ukraine. He remains in hiding.

But for many Ukrainians, there was another moment when they realized the ground was shifting beneath them. (more…)

(New York)  It’s a made-for-TV face-off with a possible chance of thunder and lightning.

Mayor de Blasio and Al Roker are scheduled to go mano-a-mano on the “Today” show Monday.  Hizzonor has been invited to cut the ribbon on the NBC breakfast program’s new and enhanced plaza outside its Rockefeller Center studios.

But show officials announced Sunday that a de Blasio-Roker showdown is in store. (more…)

(Politico) – CNN President Jeff Zucker has decided to bring an end to Piers Morgan’s low-rated primetime show, network sources told POLITICO on Sunday. “Piers Morgan Live” could end as early as next month, though Morgan may stay with the network in another role.

Morgan, a former British tabloid editor, replaced Larry King in the 9 p.m. hour three years ago, prior to Zucker’s tenure as president. His show earned consistently low ratings, registering as few as 50,000 viewers in the 25-to-54 year-old demographic earlier this week.

“CNN confirms that Piers Morgan Live is ending,” Allison Gollust, head of CNN communications, told POLITICO on Sunday after an earlier version of this post was published. (more…)

The sunlight is within the self admission…

(Via Newsbusters)  In an interview with the black website TheRoot, incoming MSNBC host Joy Reid repeated the usual network mantra that “Everyone at MSNBC has a different, unique perspective,” and she hopes her new 2pm Eastern show will be a “table-setter for prime time.” Translation: whatever “War on Women” or Bridgegate segment I’m doing at 2 will be repeated at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…..by one “unique perspective” after another.

Reid claimed to lament a political climate that she says has “just become really nasty” and made civilized disagreements few and far between. It’s thanks in part to what she calls a “very virulent strain that is sort of in the underbelly of society.” It’s racism, or the right wing’s horrid tendency to counter-accuse MSNBC of racism, like the accusation is a weapon: (more…)

The FCC claims on second thought it “may not have been appropriate” to question the media and monitor newsrooms.   Gee, ya think ?

WASHINGTON DC – The Federal Communications Commission announced Friday that it was putting on hold a controversial study of American newsrooms, after complaints from Republican lawmakers and media groups that the project was too intrusive.

FCC spokeswoman Shannon Gilson said Chairman Tom Wheeler agreed with critics that some of the study’s proposed questions for reporters and news directors “may not have been appropriate.” (more…)

This expose’ goes deep in the woods on the Zimmerman case back- story of malicious prosecution.

However, in order to understand what’s going on, as well as what’s at stake, here is a not-so-brief summary and then full outline.

Summary: During the pre-trial events leading up to the State of Florida v. George Zimmerman an intentional manipulation of evidence was discovered.

In essence Trayvon Martin’s cell phone contained information which was not given to the defense team, a clear Brady violation surrounding the rules of open trial discovery. Some of the data on the phone was very damaging to the false presentation of Trayvon Martin’s background.

The data included text conversations between Trayvon and his Dad, Tracy (aka “Fruit”), about buying guns. Some data included pictures of Trayvon Martin smoking marijuana and posing with handguns.

There were many pictures on the phone which the State of Florida did not want the defense team to know, and, more importantly for their claims, they did not want to public to witness.  All of the data was in opposition to the narrative of the State and the Martin family, around Trayvon; and much of it was viewed by them as a risk. Consequently the State of Florida wanted the information hidden from the defense.

However, a man named Ben Kruidbos (pronounced “cried-boss”) was in charge of Information Technology within the State Attorney’s office. He became aware of the State attorney, Angela Corey, and her prosecutors (pictured below), intentionally keeping the information from the defense team during pre-trial discovery. Fearful for his own position if he did nothing Kruidbos retained outside advice and representation from a former legal colleague, Wes White.

Eventually, through a series of tenuous 3rd party contacts with the defense team, the issue of the State intentionally hiding information came to the court and trial Judge, Debra Nelson.

However, Nelson did not want to deal with the Brady violation and possible judicial sanctions for the behavior before the trial. Nelson wanted the trial to begin quickly.

So Nelson delayed any sanctions hearing until after trial. That post-trial hearing has still not taken place.

As a result of Ben Kruidbos revealing the information the FL State 4th District Attorney, Angela Corey, fired him on the last day of trial – just before closing arguments. Subsequently Kruidbos filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination. That lawsuit is soon to be heard in court. Below is the amended complaint, filed by Kruidbos against Angela Corey, and her latest response.

*It is worth noting in the Corey response she is claiming the information on the Trayvon Martin cell phone was not, according to her, discovery evidence she was required to turn over.

Corey is claiming the pictures and cell phone data were attorney “work product“, and therefore she was under no obligation to divulge it – consequently she is claiming the data is not Brady material. Even a first year law student would admit this “claim” will not pass muster in a sanctions hearing. The state cannot selectively hide information pre-trial just because parts of it would negatively impact their position, the defendant has every right to see all of the evidence in the case – especially evidence which *might* be used in his defense.

First, here is the updated complaint by Kruidbos: (more…)

The mainstream media, and even law enforcement, have consistently tried to claim the race-based “Knock Out” assaults are mythical in nature.

Various manipulations of labeling have taken place with some calling the attacks “a game”, or more specifically, “the Knock Out Game“.

It is also known on the street as “polar bear hunting“, or “Cracka’ Smacks“.

This past weekend another victim died.   Until we honestly confront the reality of what is taking place we cannot expect to see this trend stop.   Every single one of these attacks is a black youth, a specifically intended white victim, a random punch to the face/head:

2014

Baton Rouge, Louisiana  (victim killed)

Cambridge, Massachusetts

St. Cloud, Minnesota (victim killed)

Flint, Michigan

New York, New York (six victims from same thug)

Charlottesville, Virginia

Denver, Colorado

Rochester, New York

ROFLMAO – …”audible gasps”!!!

North Carolina – An undocumented student at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill who became a national cause célèbre in recent weeks as a candidate for student body president lost his election bid Tuesday in a landslide defeat.

UNC junior Emilio Vicente, a public policy major who was thrust into the spotlight after publicly acknowledging that he is not a U.S. citizen, lost his bid to represent the students of the public research university by a vote of 4,760 to 2,681, or 62.9 percent to 35.47 percent.

Prior to Tuesday’s election, Vicente – who describes himself as a “feminist” – had become the darling of left-leaning celebrities, earning praise and endorsements from the likes of Al Jazeera and actress Eva Longoria, for example. (more…)

From media descriptions this Louisiana attack -in this latest Knockout Murder- are almost identical to the one which killed victim Colton Gleason in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  In the Minnesota case 18-year-old attacker, Jesse Smithers was sentenced to 10 years last Thursday.

In both cases the similarly aged black attackers picked a random white target then punched them in the head causing their victims to fall down and hit their heads again on the sidewalk – which led to coma and eventual brain death.

BATON ROUGE – Baton Rouge Police have arrested Windall Lavel Herring, 19, 8211 Perkins Rd., for 2nd Degree Murder.

According to a report, police were called to 1600 Lake Calais Court on February 1st, 2014 around 9:30pm in reference to an unresponsive man lying on the sidewalk bleeding.

The victim, 55-year-old white male John Bannon, was transported to an area hospital where he died of his injuries on February 14th.

The Coroner’s Office ruled Bannon’s death a homicide, stating that he died from “blunt force closed head trauma which caused lethal hemmorrhaging to the brain.”

“A possible motive is that the teens attacked Bannon because they wanted to see who could hit the hardest,” said a BRPD spokesman. (more…)
