High Ground Underground

The photo of a Syrian Kurdish refugee boy washed up on a Turkish shore has brought attention to, and shock over, the massive refugee flood fleeing ISIS and heading for Europe, at any price. Just another consequence of the rest of the world’s lackadaisical response to the ISIS advance and horrors. This is what happens when the U.S. doesn’t want to be the world’s policeman – there are no police, and the thugs are running amok. The Left’s anti-authoritarian (at least anti-police) leanings also seem evident in the notable lack of the Obama administration’s public expressions over the rash of racially motivated U.S. police assassinations. They are outspoken at the drop of the hat when a black thug is killed by a policeman, even before it’s clear there was no racial motivation for most of the highly publicized cases that form a false narrative for the “Black lives matter” movement. There are several million refugees or displaced persons (homeless within Syria , Libya, I...

When it comes to accommodating sensitivities, it generally seems to be a one-way street when Muslims (or at least their activists/extremists) are involved. They violently demand that we treat their Koran, and Mohammed, with great respect. And in this country we almost always do – handling their Korans at Gitmo quite literally with kid gloves, and universally denouncing the Koran-burning kook (whom the Left and Islamisists love to put forward as somehow typical of “Islamophobes” opposed to the Ground Zero mosque). And US publications tripped over themselves to avoid publishing the Danish cartoons. The country was also marvelously restrained towards Muslims in the US following 9/11 – no violence against Muslims or their many mosques here. They enjoy religious and other freedoms and peace here that Muslims nowhere else in the world enjoy. Many of our troops have died defending Muslim sects in Iraq, or Muslims in the Balkans. But what do we see on the other side? There are no Chris...

The Dog Days of Summer Once again Obama plays the victim card, with racial overtones, by accusing Republicans of treating him as a dog. Well, maybe there’s some truth to it .... at least one that needs to be restrained from taking a bigger bite out of our paychecks, and our grandchildrens’. And shredding our economy. Poor, persecuted Obama. When Bush was treated like a stupid, hated dog by the stonewalling Democrat congress, media, and liberal/Left he didn’t complain so bitterly or partisanly. Oh, yes, Obama is the “great uniter.” The Beck-oning The liberal pundits and media were hard-pressed to find any substantive things about Glenn Beck’s Washington rally to find fault with. So again they turned to the race card, noting that most (not all) were white. Of course the same could be said of any broad cross-section Democrat/liberal/left rally, if not a race-specific rally like Sharpton’s counter-rally, which appeared all black. They never seem to note the same aspect of their own...
