Sunday Open Thread – September 2nd

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Marshall Park – The “Real” DNC Convention Site -….. And Heavenly Convention Intervention

Look at what’s going on in Marshall Park, a gathering place in North Carolina for the DNC affiliates and events.   Radical Islamists and Occupoopers Unite !

CHARLOTTE, August 31, 2012 — Isaac’s winds have scattered. The Republicans are basking in the glow of their convention. The Democrats are headed to Charlotte. And the Jumah prayer at the 2012 DNC kicked off a series of hundreds of events that will spread throughout the city for a week.

The Jumah took place at Marshall Park in an open air setting on a rolling lawn that begins at the statue of Martin Luther King and slopes gently downward to a small pond and fountain that face the Charlotte skyline. It was open to the public as an opportunity not only for the Jumah, but also to allow non-Muslims to participate in the observance and explanation of the ritual. […] (more…)

Goosepimply Good – Clint Eastwood Reloaded

Remember the Half-Time in America ad that ran during the Superbowl?

Infinite Stupidity – There is no longer any visible space between the ground and the high-bar of intelligence

There is regular stupid  (one penguin)

There is seriously stupid (double penguin)

There is Moonbat stupid (triple penguin)

And then there’s THIS 

Et tu ?

Only partially tongue in cheek.

Perhaps some of the outer circle Z’s, The Mesa’s, The Osterman’s and various other semi-associated outliers et al  should hold a giant BBQ over the Labor Day holiday weekend and gather together in fellowship.

   

After lunch they can circle the lawn chairs, break out legal pads and collectively decide who is going to be allowed to “cash in”.    Through the rules process of closed collective bargaining once the “who” is determined they can then draw up a collaborative annual schedule, and timeline, for “cashing-in” activities.

Perhaps Mark O’Mara could be invited to moderate the discussion (I would recommend maybe bring a couple of bouncers) then, after determinations of agreement, he can facilitate and write up the contractual agreements about who can do what, when and for how much.

No need to invite George, he is irrelevent to the process.

(oh, but reminder – the crew would need George to pay O’Mara for his time and trough construction, so keep track of the time and submit the bill for payment…. k? )

Chapter One – The Osterman Book and The Dangers Of Misplaced Advocacy

Note from the CTH:  This post is independently authored by an anonymous guest of the Treehouse. This is part two in a series of independently submitted guest posts.   We are unable to determine or validate if the content discussed is indeed the substantive content of an upcoming book, we are the conduit host and present for informational purposes of discussion:

George Zimmerman was not involved in the collaboration of this book and makes no guarantee of its accuracy or content.  The comments added here to the known text of the Osterman book were not made by George Zimmerman, and should not be construed as the only comments that George Zimmerman may have regarding the publishing of this book.

As previously presented by the guest author:  Upon initial review there appear to be numerous “mistakes” in [an upcoming] book, and even several specific items that we feel are outright fabrications. These aspects may be intended to help the book sell well, but they also present some serious factual concerns.

The areas of concern will be highlighted, and honestly rebutted, during the course of a number of guest posts here at the Treehouse over the next several days.

These areas to be addressed could potentially be damaging to George Zimmerman, and I feel it is important to address each of them individually.

In the next several days the excerpts, responses and summaries you will read are my “Guest Posted” words and my opinion. While I will share the content of the upcoming book, as I know it, the rebuttal or challenge to the book will be mine alone.

The intent of rebuttal is meant to bring these fabrications, falsehoods and concerns to light, and such retort is provided for the benefit of those who will ultimately read the published book and have questions about its accuracy.

I am, quite simply, trying to get out ahead of what “could be” a well intended attempt at public support, which simultaneously creates a significant and potentially damaging series of unintended consequences.

Chapter One – That’s What Friends Are For

(excerpt)  Mark Osterman Writes ~  […]  Then, Shellie and I flanked George as we walked to my car in the [police] station parking lot. I mentioned to George that we thought it wise for them both to stay in our spare bedroom for the night. I then, added, “And, we probably need to stop by the hospital and get you checked out.”

He [George Zimmerman] immediately declined the hospital stop, “I just want to go to your house and try to get some sleep. For some reason, I am bone weary and almost have to sleep right now.” I understood.

For the next fifteen minutes, or however long it took to make the drive to our home in Lake Mary, George recounted what he knew of the deadly encounter with the young black man; we did not know his name at this point. (more…)

Moonbatty Progs – Just One More Typical Example of Progdom Hypocrisy

The prog’s entire life is a series of hypocritical avoidances and pretzel twisting illogical positions.    So this example is not a surprising contrast (but it is good):

Responsibility?   Heck who is the party of anti-independence?   (Via Wolfiles) Mayor Mia Love is running for the House of Representatives in Utah and, if elected, will be the first black female Republican member of Congress. (more…)

Irony – Woman advocates for minority students – Son is brutally beaten as a direct result of her advocacy

In Franklin Indiana, parents must pay for their children to be provided with transportation to school.   One woman campaigned to get the fees removed for lower income students and for subsidies to offset the cost (taxpayers to foot the bill).

In essence, she wanted to help poor children whose parents wouldn’t pay for them to ride the bus.   Consequently the majority of those helped by her action and advocacy, for free bus transportation, were black students.

On the first day of the school year, at the first opportunity for those assisted students to ride the bus free of charge,  her own 14 year own son was brutally beaten on the school bus by one of the black students benefitting from her efforts.

Vindicated – Feds Find Nothing and Drop Investigation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio….

After crawling up, down, and inside out of everything associated with Sheriff Joe for more than three years, the feds did not find squat…. it was a pure political witch hunt.  In a typical Obama/Holder DOJ manuever the Feds announce the non-finding and dropping of their investigation at 5pm on Friday night of a holiday weekend.   Jerks.

PHOENIX — Federal authorities said Friday that they’re closing their abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona without filing charges against him.

Authorities were investigating America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.

Federal authorities also decided to not prosecute matters tied to alleged misuse of county credit cards by sheriff’s officials, alleged misspending of jail-enhancement funds and other matters. (more…)
