Here is a typical example of unmasked progressivity running amok.   In Atlanta Georgia the symphony orchestra has decided not to allow the previous high schools choruses to perform with them because they are not “racially diverse enough” to warrant participation.   Apparently that means they are demographically “too white”.

However, in the strangest, well, not really strange – more like typical,  fashion the Symphony itself refuses to self-describe their own diversity.   So, after reading this article, well, actually after reading the  comment from the “Director of Communications“,  I just had to go look at the ethnic makeup of the Symphony itself.

“It is against our policy to share the race and/or ethnicity of our musicians, so I am unable to share that information.”

Subsequently a review of the entire orchestra make up, including conductors, shows they have one, yes one, black person (Brass Section – Stephen Wilson).  Yup, as expected, the hypocritical slips of the pontificating musical progs are showing.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — After a four-year partnership, two suburban Cobb County high school choruses will not be performing with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra [ASO] this coming fall.

That’s because they’ve been told they are not racially diverse enough.

The Walton High School Chorus has received many honors and performed all over the world.  So, too, has the Lassiter High School Chorus.  But they won’t be back with the ASO for a joint holiday concert this coming December. (more…)

Saint Louis FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KMOV) – Paramedics treated a server at a Red Lobster in Fairview Heights on Friday after a customer threw a water glass at her head.  It happened at the Red Lobster in the 110 block of Ludwig Drive around 2 p.m.

A witness said she saw three female customers get mad because the server was filling up their glasses with water too often.

According to the witness, as the server walked away one of them picked up a water glass and threw it, hitting the victim in the back of the head.  The witness said as the server turned around, the customer hit her in the face with one of the dessert books.

The server was treated by a paramedic, but did not go to the hospital and stayed at work.

Customers and restaurant employees made sure the women stayed put until police arrived. Officers then arrested the three suspects. (more…)

( CNN ) — Ecuador granted Julian Assange asylum over fears of political persecution Thursday, but it was hardly a reprieve as Britain vowed to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to Sweden to face questioning on sex crime charges.

Assange, the publisher of hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. government documents, has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since June.

Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño said Thursday there is credible fear that if Assange is sent to Sweden, he could be subsequently be extradited to the United States, where he could be charged with espionage and treason. (more…)

The insufferable media bias on this shooting is beyond incredulous.  The Lame Institutional Legacy Media are  working overtime trying to sweep this story under the rug.  

Think about how much different this would have been if he was a Tea Partier…..   it would be wall-to-wall round-the-clock coverage and front page “Terror” headlines.

 The Liberal Shooter:  28-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins II from Virginia 

WASHINGTON DC –  The man who is alleged to have shot a security guard yesterday at the offices of the pro-life group Family Research Council has been formally charged and new FBI documents present more information.

A man posing as an intern shot the guard, Leo Johnson, at the FRC office located at 801 G Street, NW. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins confirmed the security officer was shot and said in a statement, “The police are investigating this incident. Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family.”

Additional reports show Johnson was a hero and worked with other guards to apprehend the shooter before more people were attacked. The suspect, a 28-year-old male from Virginia named Floyd Lee Corkins II, said, “Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.” AP later confirmed that Corkins is a liberal activist who volunteers with a left-wing group in the D.C. area.

The part you won’t hear about in President Obama’s “Amnesty by Dictatorial Fiat program” are the thousands rushing over the border to begin the process, and yet thousands more who get their blank copies mailed, faxed and downloaded to sites all around Mexico so they don’t even have to leave their country to apply for Amnesty benefits in the U.S.

Fill out the paperwork in Mexico then send to a connection in the U.S. who walks it into the building and files it.   It is just one way the professional illegal community game the system. 

(FOX News) A security guard at the Family Research Council’s headquarters in Washington,  D.C. is being hailed as a hero after he stopped a gunman posing as an intern,  taking a bullet in the arm before wrestling the suspect to the ground.

The gunman entered the lobby of the organization’s Chinatown headquarters  around 10:45 and expressed disagreement with the conservative group’s policy  positions, Fox News has learned. When the guard, who was not identified, asked  him where he was going, he opened fire, according to police.

“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” D.C. Police  Chief Cathy Lanier said. ”He did his job. The person never made it past the  front.” (more…)

The audio is definitely Not Safe For Work. This is a broadcast of the NBPP radio show and the narrative of Michelle Williams, the NBPP Chief of Staff, in Tampa Florida regarding the upcoming Republican convention.

The Specific Quote: “OUR FEET WILL BE ON YOUR MOTHERF***ING NECKS”, is heard in the last minute of a highly charged and vitriolic broadcast.

There is an analogy for watching the legacy media types having their liberal and biased selves exposed while they try to hide it.   It is,… it really is…..,  like watching a naked person fry bacon…

(By Ali Akbar @Viral Read ) CNN’s Soledad O’Brien is no stranger to controversy or rightful journalistic scrutiny. She’s frequently been exposed for reading Wikipedia or talking points on the air, always disparaging a conservative guest on her program.

[Last night] , she was the substitute host for Anderson Cooper, a program that boasts of its reputation for “keeping [politicians] honest.” During her interview with Virginia House of Delegates Republican member Barbara Comstock, O’Brien became visibly flustered and was actually caught doing finger stress exercises as she attempted to insert editorial commentary while her guest, a former skilled Republican operative, defended the House GOP budget, designed by Budget Chairman Paul Ryan.

Accidentally, a cameraman captured O’Brien furiously flipping through notes, only to cut out seconds later. What was she viewing?

Footage proves it was a printed email, talking points and opposition research. (more…)

(Via RT.com) […] The facts behind TrapWire continue to surface in the days since WikiLeaks exposed the state-of-the-art surveillance system, but minute-by-minute more is being revealed about not just the scary intelligence infrastructure but its questionable ties.

Last week, WikiLeaks published their latest addition to trove of the so-called Global Intelligence Files — emails uncovered from Texas-based Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor) by Anonymous late last year — in turn revealing a widespread surveillance system blanketing much of the United States and abroad. The project, TrapWire, is the brainchild of Abraxas, a Northern Virginia corporation that has cut countless deals with the federal government and is staffed by former agents out of not just the Pentagon but practically every leading intelligence agency in the country. As those connections are examined under a magnifying glass by researchers and hacktivists alike, though, more and more is being brought to light about the correlations that exist between the biggest of brothers and an entire industry that profits from pulverizing what is left of privacy.
