Pinko Eyes

The transparency of the progressive movement is obvious.   In the 2012 election cycle we were introduced to Sandra Fluke and her demands of tax-payer funded contraception; this evolved into the ‘War On Women’ faux-outrage campaign.

In this 2014 election cycle the angst needs additional victimization check boxes.  Ergo you are being introduced to a “black” (check box one for race/victimization),  “gay” (check box two for sexual orientation/victimization), “collegiate football player” (check box three for youth vote/victimization), Michael Sam, who announces his sexual orientation as a measure of his fluke-like worthiness to the progressive left.

Whether Michael Sam is a good football player, a man of strong moral fiber, or an intellectual powerhouse, is irrelevant to the cause.

If he does not get drafted into the NFL the narrative will be because he’s gay and the NFL is homophobic – A successful victim, very useful.

If he does get drafted into the NFL it will be because the world is changing and *despite his victimization* he has succeeded.   A successful victim, very useful.

One only needs to look at how the progressive left is scripting the introduction to know that YOU WILL SEE THIS NAME EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

“His story sends a message to LGBT, young people, especially young black men, that you are free to show up in the world as your authentic self and others will embrace you”. (USA Today)

If he does get not drafted a coast-to-coast “Democrats In 2014”  bus tour campaign win begin.   Eventually leading to Michael Sam being the Missouri 2016 Senate or House Candidate. (more…)

David Simon, a former police beat reporter in Baltimore, MD and creator of the popular television series, “The Wire” implies that Libertarians in America are “greedy” and decries Libertarianism as a “juvenile” idea that he “just can’t get past….”  

Clearly upset that Fabian ideology is not taking root in the 20-somethings community, while the Libertarian movement is growing as an identified political affiliation in the cohort,  he gave a speech in Australia in November, 2013 at the “Dangerous Ideas” conference declaring “Libertarianism in my country is now being taken seriously as an intelligent mode of political thought… it’s astonishing to me… ” (around the 8:00 – 10:00 mark) and then goes on a screed to deliberately disparage and attempt to dismiss the Libertarian school of thought – including the assertion that Libertarians are “anti-government” (as Moyers chuckles along in agreement…)  Fraidy cat!

SNOW SAFARI – A couple of local families decided to take their kids sledding during a school-closed snow day in Georgia.   Pack of 30+ teen thugs pelted one wife and baby with snowballs, jumped on cars, and then quickly launched into frenzied attack mode when told to stop….   Reverse the races and this would be 24/7 CNN News.

WARNER ROBINS — Two teens have been arrested in connection with an attack in front of Warner Robins High School while school was out due to snow.

Shymalik Raekwon Mitchell, 17, of Warner Robins, was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault, according to a news release from the Warner Robins Police Department.

Terrell Antonio Boyd, 17, also of Warner Robins, was charged with battery. Additional arrests may be pending as the investigation continues, the release said.

According to police, a group of about 30 people were having a snowball fight at the high school Jan. 29. Members of the group allegedly were jumping on vehicles in the parking lot, and when one of the vehicle’s owners asked them to stop, they allegedly attacked that person and three others who came to his aid.

Shortly after a congressional hearing yesterday morning, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Elijah Cummings. The complaint alleges the Congressman intimidated her and and her group. The Congressman had done some cable news shows alleging incorrect facts about True the Vote. In the hearing yesterday, Cummings accused True the Vote of racism saying that they were trying to suppress the vote.

“Franky, Megyn, the thought of having to sit before my accuser and be silent in the face of what he did was unconscionable. He [Cummings] filed over a period of months in 2012, he filed three letters that he sent to me asserting that he was opening an investigation. He sent this on House Oversight and Government Reform letterhead.”

The defamation suit against NBC was on hold pending criminal trial outcome.  The Zimmerman motion for sanctions, still in limbo, against prosecutors Bernie De La Rionda and Angela Corey are part of the criminal trial.   Subsequently and consequentially the request for the defamation suit to move forward has been denied.

SANFORD — Orlando lawyer Mark O’Mara on Thursday took another step away from his most famous client, George Zimmerman, by bowing out of a defamation suit against NBC Universal Media.

O’Mara was co-counsel for Zimmerman when the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer sued the network broadcaster just over a year ago, accusing it of falsely portraying him as racist in five reports.

[Zimmerman’s] … defamation suit has sat dormant for 11 months. Both sides agreed last February that they’d do nothing until Zimmerman’s criminal case was closed. (more…)

[HatTip GatewayPundit for some particulars] – I hope EVERYONE watches the accompanying videos.  It is imperative that EVERYONE understands the full-throated attack currently underway by our own government.   Only by fully understanding the scope of the issue can you fully absorb the danger in front of us. 

The testimony today on capitol hill was blood boiling to say the least. During hearings about IRS targeting of conservative groups, which unlike President Obama’s claim appears fraught with political scandal, some of the victims began to lay out the details of the attacks they have endured.

One of those victims is Mrs. Catherine Engelbrecht. Catherine Eghelbrecht is a conservative activist, Tea Party member and founder of True the Vote. Mrs. Engelbrecht, outlined how she has been the specific target of FOUR federal agencies (The FBI, IRS, ATF and OSHA) along with one Texas State agency (EPA).

Prior to her founding of True The Vote, as a simple business person, she was never on the federal radar. However, as soon as she engaged in advocacy for her beliefs she was targeted by the “weaponization of government”. 14 IRS audits of personal and business finances, 4 times visited by the FBI as a ‘domestic risk’, 3 times visited by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and two audits by The Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Janet Mock was born with a penis and testes but demands any historical reference to her personage must never be referenced as “a boy” or “male”.   Her primary claim is that she has been a woman since birth and she just corrected the anatomical error, via organ removal/reassignment, at a later date.    She wrote a book.   Apparently, as Piers Morgan was rue to find out, you can never say a transgendered person’s gender was their former anatomical definition.

*Note to self* —>  According to the community, which constructs the rule book we are now demanded to follow, “Sex” is what your birth anatomy assigns you to be.   “Gender” is actually what your real sexual identity is.   If you conflate the terminology you have mortally wounded a transgendered person.   *w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r* 

(Via Mediaite) Last night, Piers Morgan spoke to transgender advocate Janet Mock and some of the words he used and chyrons the show used ended up earning Morgan quite the social media blowback, and Morgan took some serious umbrage at all the people tweeting at him about the segment. He brought on Mock tonight to confront her about the “hostile tweets” she and others sent his way.

Morgan repeatedly bemoaned how much he’s been attacked, saying he “spent an infuriating 24 hours,” he was “viciously abused,” cried “I’m being vilified!”, and asked why someone like him, who openly supports LGBT rights and equality, has gotten such “a load of abuse.” (more…)

The intent was to craft IRS rules and regulations without public purview.  “Off Plan” means absent of public or organizational input.

WASHINGTON – Documents obtained by the House Ways and Means Committee show that IRS officials first started flagging Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status in February 2010 because of “media attention,” and that Treasury and IRS officials had discussed potentially addressing the tax-exemption rules for such groups “off-plan,” meaning “hidden from the public,” said Committee Chariman Dave Camp (R-Mich.).

In a hearing on the IRS-Tea Party scandal on Wednesday, Chairman Camp questioned IRS Commissioner John Koskinen about the Treasury Department apparently crafting rules to limit the ability of conservative and Tea Party groups to get 501(c)4 exemptions to engage in public debate. (more…)

ABC News Reporting –  Two teenagers have been arrested after police say they burglarized  51-year-old Kimberly Leto’s home and killed her.

“That it was a 14 and 15-year-old is unimaginable. There is a loss of life  and two lives thrown away,” said Baltimore Police Commissioner, Anthony  Batts.

Police originally thought the teens were 14 and 15; they have since corrected  those numbers and confirm that they are charging 14-year-old Alonzo Gorham-Ramos  and 16-year-old Allen Pinkney with Leto’s murder.

“This is a heartbreaking tragedy, on so many levels,” Commissioner Batts said. “Our purpose today is not to claim victory on this arrest, rather it is to limit that such a tragedy occurred in the first place.” (more…)
