It’s What’s For Dinner

Want to avoid Obamacare for as long as possible? Well then, here’s the product you’ve been waiting for:

 

Eat chicken, fish or tofu if you want to. I’m having what they’re having.

You aren’t going to want to watch this…

But do it anyway. Your progeny’s future depends on our willingness to peel the scales of political correctness from our eyes, and see who these people are. They don’t even feel the need to be particularly covert about it – they don’t need to be, we’ve embraced them with open arms. We are as oblivious as the Jews who supported the Third Reich. How stupid can we be? This is not about the Jews and the Palestinians. This is about the Muslim Brotherhood: they want to eliminate anyone who is not a Muslim. Not just the Jews.

 

It’s 14 minutes. Educate yourself. They are here. Be afraid. Pass it on, then demand that our government do something, other than bow and scrape to this abomination on mankind.

And for God’s sake, stop being intimidated by people who call you a hater, an Islamaphobe.

There is plenty to be fearful of. Plenty to actually – yes - hate. It’s fine to hate evil. And make no mistake, they are evil. And I’m not talking about the peaceful minority. They’re irrelevant, remember?

The Won’s One World Order

Don’t think that I don’t know that many of you out there think we are stark raving mad here at Dewey’s. What with our strident insistence that team Obama - that was swept in on sweetness and light - harbors a not-so-thinly disguised dark strain of socialism that they intend to impose on the Republic.

May I submit as exhibit A in our defense the following article from American Thinker? I present, you decide.

Department of Justice ditches red, white and blue stars and stripes

Bruce Cunningham

Well, how interesting! It seems the U.S. Department of Justice has changed its  website. Gone are the colorful red, white and blue U.S. flag decorations on the page,

replaced by stark black and white.

And at the top of the page, is a rather interesting quote:

"The common law is the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people."

Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point -- the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930's was a leading proponent of the "international law" movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers' rights.'

Call it Marxism, call it Progressivism, call it Socialism -- under any of those names it definitely makes the DOJ look corrupt in their sleek, new black website with Marxist accessories to match. 
See for yourself: 
http://www.justice.gov/

How very interesting that 'they' couldn't find a nice quote from one of our Founders. People, we have lost our Republic. We need to get it back ASAP.

H/T Larwyn, who also points out that this gives context to the Department of State’s idiotic decision to take Arizona’s state law to the UN – arguably the largest body of Marxists/socialists  on the planet.

Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant

A friend sent this today. It’s an email making it’s way around, and is frequently accredited to a German by the name of Dr. Emanuel Taney. And while there is an Emanuel Taney who is a holocaust survivor,  investigation seems to indicate that this piece was written by Paul Marek as an op-ed titled Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant in 2007. It’s still true, and only grows more relevant as additional time passes.  Worse than doing nothing, we are now bending over backwards to accommodate the “religion” that set the new world of terror in motion. We bow, now, not only to the demands of Islamists who chastise us, but also to the demands of the willfully blind, politically correct fanatics who just want us all to go along to get along.

Here is Mr. Marek’s original editorial. A simple, straight forward history lesson. Pass it on, maybe some of our fellow countrymen will wake up. Before Islam owns us, before we discover we have lost control and the end of our world has begun.

jewish children enroute to nazi death campJewish children being transported to Chelmno, a Nazi death camp: never forget 

 

I used to know a man whose family were German aristocracy prior to World War II. They owned a number of large industries and estates. I asked him how many German people were true Nazis, and the answer he gave has stuck with me and guided my attitude toward fanaticism ever since.

“Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”

We are told again and again by experts and talking heads that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unquantified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars world wide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or execute honor killings. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. The hard, quantifiable fact is that the “peaceful majority” is the “silent majority,” and it is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war-mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across Southeast Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians - most killed by sword, shovel and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were “peace loving”?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt; yet, for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points. Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by the fanatics. Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because, like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Bosnians, Afghanis, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others, have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us, watching it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts: the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

911-2 Burning people jumping from the WTC. Never forget.

Atrocities are often committed by “fanatics.” Wake up people. It took but 19 “fanatics” to permanently change the world. No, Islam is not a religion of peace. It’s not even really a religion. It’s a fanatical political system comprised of religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is the mask behind which all the other components hide.

Our constitution does not protect political systems that are antithetical to our democratic republic. Got that? We are on a path of national suicide and the usual useful idiots are caught up in their own stupid, post-modern, rhetorical fallacies.

For the last time, can we all please heed Mr. Burke’s admonition: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Your Tax Dollars at Work.

 

from IOTW via American Digest Sidebar

I’m quite certain I need say no more about postmodernism in education, do I?

If anyone wishes to interpret Professor Haraway’s profundity, or at least advise what language she is speaking, feel free to take a crack at it.

And while I don’t often recommend Wikipedia as a source, her entry there does prove that this was not just an isolated case of over-medication. Enjoy. 

Do you see now why it was so easy to elect an emperor who had no clothes?

At Least We’re Not Cleveland: Part Deux

We reported last February that Detroit was officially not the Worst City Ever, when Forbes gave that “honor” to Cleveland. It appears they are not about to give up that title without a fight.

Broke and deeply in debt, Cleveland recently decided to spend $2.5 million on garbage cans fitted with microchips to monitor use. Mark Gillespie reports on blog.cleveland.com that Cleveland is implementing a new mandatory recycling program that will fine you $100 if your garbage is not sorted between “garbage” and recyclables to Waste Collection Commissioner Ronnie Owens’ liking. 

The new automated garbage pick-up and recycling program uses automated garbage trucks that allow the garbage man to sit in the truck, rather than get out and dump the garbage by hand. According to Mr. Gillespie, “Cleveland owns three of these trucks and plans to buy more.”

cleveland garbage man Hard Working Garbage Man? (blog.cleveland.com)

But the big part of the new garbage policy is the high tech, Big Brother style monitoring of your recycling habits. The new garbage cans are fitted with microchips which will wirelessly report to “garbage central” how often you recycle. If you fail to meet Ronnie’s expectations, you will be issued a civil penalty packing a $100 fine, and your garbage will be inspected by the Garbage Police to see if you are putting “recyclable materials” in your regular garbage can.

Once again, in spite of the corruption, crime and desolation of Detroit, we Motown residents can stand up and proudly declare:

“At Least We’re Not Cleveland”

That’s Going to Cost You $100

The Year of Living Unexpectedly

Motor City Times has reported on a $154 million  “unexpected” loss at Vestas – the world’s largest maker of wind turbines:

The unexpectedly poor financial results come amid recent warnings from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) that the previously buoyant US wind market was in precipitous decline and desperately needed positive new policies from the White House.

In case you’re a political neophyte, that means you are going to pay subsidies for  yet another money-losing proposition.

This is kind of important in Michigan, where our lame duck governor has declared the state a hot zone for green energy development. In fact, Jennifer Granholm has declared that Michigan’s future depends on it. That’s unexpectedly disturbing, given that the industry itself is not, without huge government subsidiaries, sustainable. So I hope we don’t give up entirely on the auto industry just yet. Although we do still have the plan for urban farming in Detroit  on the table too.

But the bad news from the windmill farm was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unexpectedly bad economic news lately. Also “unexpected:” higher new unemployment claims this week, at 500,000. Oh no!  But still, it’s a far cry from the 500 million jobs that Chairman Nancy threatened would be lost if  Congress didn’t pass the $900 billion stimulus last February. I guess that number must include all the undocumented workers in the country as well. Idiot.

nancy face “My point? Right here. On top of my head.”

For the record: 48 out of 50 states have lost jobs since the Stimulus Bill passed. Good job, Nan.

Equally “unexpected:” employers expect health care costs to increase nearly 9% next year! How the heck did that happen?!!! Stupid non-partisan CBO. Well, don’t worry. Government costs will decrease. Unless, of course, they unexpectedly increase too. Unfortunately, that’s the way the indicators are trending – which is a surprise to many people in the government.

Did I mention that manufacturing indicators have declined? Unexpectedly. Now, in addition to spooking Wall Street,  we’re sucking the wind out of Europe too. I don’t imagine they expected that.

And the housing sector: well, housing starts were unexpectedly lower than forecast. And the Obama administration’s mortgage relief program intended to prevent 3 million foreclosures? Due to the unexpected continuation of Bush’s recession, it looks like 2.8 million of the targeted group will lose their homes after all. So far.

And here’s the strangest of the strangely unexpected economic trends: “worse than expected consumer confidence numbers.” Wow! Who could have seen that coming?

Thank goodness Labor Day is just around the corner. I don’t think we can take much more of this  summer of unexpected recovery.

sprint Perhaps this summer’s victory lap was as ill-advised as the “Mission Accomplished” sign.

I Do Not Like This Uncle Sam Either.

Larwyn sent the Dr. Seussical poem, to brighten our weekend, I added a few optics and RBJ sent this best-political-cartoon-ever to set the mood (forgive the French, but it loses something in translation). Enjoy.

 best political cartoon-Dan CollinsCartoon by Dan Collins and H/T: RBJ

Too bad someone didn’t follow through on that one, eh? And now a word from Dr. Seuss:

 I DO NOT LIKE THIS UNCLE SAM

Uncle Sam

I do not like this Uncle Sam,

I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like those dirty crooks,

Or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,

I do not like their secret deals.

federal-debt

I do not like House Speaker Nan,

Nor do I like that ‘Yes, we can!’

I do not like the spending spree—-

Because I know that nothing’s free.

I do not like the O’s replies,

When I complain about his lies.

I do not like this kind of hope.

I do not like it. Nope, nope, nope!

cat-in-the-hat 

I do not like ObamaCare,

As it will only raise the fare.

Obama will not save the day,

He’ll only scare the docs away.

And presidents should never bow;

Should we, could we, impeach him now?

obamacare

I do not like Afghanistan,

Al-Qaeda or the Taliban.

But if we plan to win the fight

We need to fight with all our might.

We cannot tie our soldiers’ hands,

With wimpy generals in command,

And orders not to shoot to kill;

Of that I’ve simply had my fill.

Bad-or-Farcical-Rules-of-Engagement

I do not like that wife Michelle,

With eyebrows that came straight from Hell.

I do not like her attitude,

Or being lectured on my food.

A hypocrite she has become,

While flying ‘round on Air Force One.

Michelle-Obama

I know that I don’t need first class,

‘Cause I don’t have that same wide ass.

I do not like that Biden guy,

But better that he’s drunk, not high.

And Jarrett, Axelrod, and Rahm,

To get their way would kill my mom.

I do not like Obama’s plan

To spend as quickly as he can.

staff

To spend much more than we all have

Is just a temporary salve.

The bills we someday all must pay—

Not leave for just another day,

For grandkids that we leave behind,

Will always have our debt in mind.

girl_in_debt

O’s bloated budget we must cut,

To get out of this debtor’s rut.

We can’t afford his cap and trade,

Or billions more for foreign aid.

We have to end the public dole,

Hard work must now become the goal.

The borders must be sealed quite tight,

To stop invaders left and right.

Not_Yours

The racist charges we’ll ignore;

The main thing is to mind the store.

It is quite simply common sense,

To build a long, strong border fence.

To keep illegals out, yes, that;

Undocumented Democrats!

immigration_9

The bitter pill we need to take,

Is that we made one huge mistake.

But God he’s not—he’s just a man,

And we’ll evict him, “Yes we can!”

The emperor, he has no clothes,

And as he gazes down his nose,

He thinks he is the best of all,

But soon he’ll take a mighty fall.

One Big Ass Mistake America 1

We’ve taken measure of the man,

And spread the word as best we can.

November 2 will be the day

On which we take his power away.

The media will be enraged,

That citizens became engaged.

marchondc_logo01

The O will curl into a ball,

Or pound his fist against the wall.

His leftist schemes will have been stopped,

Despite the COLB he Photoshopped.

Deport him soon, we’ll try, we’ll try!

And cause Michelle to cry, cry, cry!

We’ll take control from sea to sea,

Restoring every liberty!

lightning_capitol

And then we’ll see it, yes we will…

That shining city on the hill!
