Last Friday Manuel Castro, a resident of West Hollywood, was so proud of his artistic expression he chose to give an interview to the Huffington Post…an interview given only hours after he had emblazoned the words “Tastes Like Hate” across the wall of a Torrance Chick-fil-A restaurant.  Not being satisfied with taking credit for the deed only once, Mr. Castro proceeded to again reach out to the Huffington Post four days later, on Aug. 7th.

“My statement painted on the side of the Chick-Fil-A in Torrance was not born out of hate.  It was born out of frustration.   It was meant to further a discussion about tolerance and acceptance.  My Facebook wall was simply not large enough to do this.  Contrary to popular belief, I am a proud Christian and I wholly subscribe to the verse: “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.”

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 †

A massive section of the centuries-old Great Wall of China has collapsed after bungling workmen in northern China dug up a city square in front of it.

CHINA – Bungling workmen digging up a square at the foot of the wall have been blamed for triggering the disaster at Zhangjiakou, in Hebei province of northern China.

Locals also say a recent deluge of rain and additional major roadworks in front of the walls may have been a factor in causing the 100ft section to fall away in the early hours of the morning.

Dallas Police Association President Ron Pinkston said Sgt.  Mark Johnson of the Southeast Patrol Division brought a Chick-fil-A sandwich to  the briefing room last Wednesday.

Make no mistake, this article by Nicholas Kristof is deflective propaganda.   The fix is in!   The cake is baked!  They just need to protect the administration from the sunlight of what is really going on…..   Get engaged.

Kristof is advocating for President Obama to “get engaged” in the Syrian conflict “as if” he, Obama, is not the primary driver behind the current regime overthrow.   This is political cover and pure propaganda.  Kristof writes:

[…] An intervention can always go awry, and there are legitimate concerns about the behavior of Syrian rebels. It is also true that an election year isn’t an ideal time for an intervention, although on this one Obama could work with Republicans to win bipartisan support.

Look, I’m no hawk. I was strongly against the Iraq war and the Afghan surge, and I’m firmly against today’s drift toward war with Iran. But Syria, like Libya, is a rare case where we can take modest steps that stand a good chance of accelerating the fall of a dictator. And after 17 months, there’s growing agreement that Obama should no longer remain a bystander.
