This is unreal, just staggeringly unreal…..

(via opposing views) The Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists, Inc., Mr. Ernest Perce V., was assaulted by a Muslim while participating in a Halloween parade. Along with a Zombie Pope, Ernest was costumed as Zombie Muhammad. The assault was caught on video, the Muslim man admitted to his crime and charges were filed in what should have been an open-and-shut case. That’s not what happened, though.

The defendant is an immigrant and claims he did not know his actions were illegal, or that it was legal in this country to represent Muhammad in any form. To add insult to injury, he also testified that his 9 year old son was present, and the man said he felt he needed to show his young son that he was willing to fight for his Prophet. (more…)

Rarely will you ever hear the great El Rushbo loose his cool, but this morning he had one of the worst faux Republican callers ever.  Rush referred to Cathy as “the most glittering jewel of colossal ignorance”…..”a sponge…for every stray scrap of BS and conventional wisdom about Republicans and social issues that has ever come down the pike.”  Mighty good listening.

RUSH: I thought Newt was outstanding last night. Once again, Newt illustrated a point: When the pressure’s off is when you do best. And Newt’s pulled out of Michigan. Not really “pulled out,” but he’s not going to make any effort in Michigan. And Newt claims that he expects Santorum to win Michigan. So he’s pulling out.

Ron Paul… Get this, now: Ron Paul is not really competing in Michigan, but he’s running anti-Santorum ads in Michigan. Even though Ron Paul is not viable in Michigan, he’s still running anti-Santorum ads. But Newt pulling out is gonna coalesce support to Santorum, and Paul pulling out… See, I don’t know. The thing that’s interesting to me about the Paul-Romney alliance is I don’t know how the Ron Paul camp is gonna feel about that. (more…)

(Univision) — President Obama fought back against the growing belief among Latinos that he broke his campaign promise on immigration reform and said he would get it done in a second term, during an interview with Univision Radio that aired Wednesday.

He reassured Latinos that he is committed to passing a comprehensive immigration reform plan, blaming the lack of progress on what he describes as an intransigent Congress and a Republican Party that has adopted extreme views on the issue.

“Piolin, I would only have broken my promise if I hadn’t tried. But ultimately, I’m one man,” he said when asked if he broke his promise. “You know, we live in a democracy. We don’t live in a monarchy. I’m not the king. I’m the president. And so, I can only implement those laws that are passed through Congress.” (more…)

February 23, 1836:

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna reaches San Antonio with a large body of his troops, mostly cavalry. Much of his assault infantry, engineer troops and siege artillery are strung out along the road back to the Rio Grande. Of these, many of his native troops, lightly dressed for the warmth of Mexico, have suffered in a late and particularly harsh winter storm along their hasty, forced march towards the rebellious province of Tejas.

A story broke in the Daily Caller which outlines a comment made by Rand Paul that implies some collusion between Team Romney and Team Paul. Rand Paul said “it would be an honor to be considered” as Romney’s vice-president. On the surface the comment seems rather innocent, but when you stand back and look at the relationship between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney you begin to see a very valid picture being painted.

Ron Paul has attacked every candidate except Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney has SERIOUSLY attacked every candidate with vicious, almost rabid, scorched earth hatred except Ron Paul.   Ron Paul’s wife is very close friends with Ann Romney, and the Pauls’ have stayed at the homes of the Romneys’ during their campaigns.

That’s odd.  I don’t recall hearing anything about this in the media?  /sarc

“Two Middle Eastern men” on a Continental flight from Portland to Houston. “He was screaming, ‘Allah is great, Allah is great,’ you know, and it kinda worries you when all of that happens…” says a passenger on the flight in the video above. The KHOU story doesn’t mention this, and says the flight turned around and landed back in Portland because one of them wouldn’t obey the “No Smoking” sign.
