Hmm, I guess it is okay to offend Christians

Fresh from the taxpayer funded Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery!

The Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery is under fire for hosting an exhibit that is filled with homoerotic art, an image of Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts and a video of Jesus on a crucifix covered in ants, outraging conservative leaders and prompting some Republican lawmakers to call for a congressional investigation.

Incoming House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he condemned the use of taxpayer money for the exhibit but would not call for the removal of the exhibit.

"American families have a right to expect better from recipients of taxpayer funds in a tough economy," Boehner said. "While the amount of money involved may be small, it’s symbolic of the arrogance Washington routinely applies to thousands of spending decisions involving Americans’ hard-earned money at a time when one in every 10 Americans is out of work and our children’s future is being threatened by debt.

Side note: let's just thank our lucky stars this wasn't an icon from a certain other religion.

UPDATE: Hmm, so maybe it's not okay to offend Christians. Under pressure from outraged taxpayers and calls by members of Congress to investigate its funding, the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution removes a controversial video exhibit entitled 'A Fire in My Belly' — which includes a depiction of Jesus on the cross being eaten by ants.

Opting out of telling the whole story

While we were led to believe the opt-out protest was a huge bust, maybe there was a bit more to the story. Like how do you opt-out of a trip through the McLeery Scan if you're never asked to go through it?

Via Redstate "While we were there urging the public to opt out for five hours, the line moved very fast. What we observed was that not one person was asked to go through the machine. We did not see anyone being patted down after going through the gun detector machines either.

The media spun the whole Opt Out Day as a failure because the media failed to investigate whether the TSA was using these machines that day and if these enhanced’ pat downs were being done."

And here comes the Tequila Par-tay

Latino leaders swirl around the idea of a Tequila Party.

“I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but there’s talk,” said Fernando Romero, president of the nonpartisan Hispanics in Politics, Nevada’s oldest Hispanic political group. “There’s discussion about empowerment of the Latino vote.” read more

With all the recent hubbub of the Tea Party, who wouldn't want to jump aboard the party barge? But if you ask me, that vote is already pretty damn powerful - if you have any doubts, just wait til election season, then slam a shot of tequila every time you hear the words "latino vote".

Sarah Palin points out hypocrisy in the media

Love her or hate her Sarah Palin does make a good point when she brings up the double standard with the way the media reports stories on her vs. Obama. With a recent facebook post she cleverly lists quite a few Obama gaffes which for some reason the media didn't pick up on. Now it could have been they were in the middle of Photoshopping his picture on MT. Rushmore or simply too busy finding Obama memorabilia to fill their hope chest with but either way when Obama makes a mistake the media is harder to find than a tree hugger at Bath and Body Works or the soap aisle in any given store. When Palin makes a mistake the media pounces on it like it's the last Chinese baby at the adoption agency....

Pretend discrimination at the skating rink

So this lady is filing a lawsuit because she was asked to remove her headwear at a skating rink. Well, guess what hijab lady? You're not the first, I was asked to remove my headwear at a skating rink too.

Was I offended? No.

Were the other skaters offended by my hat hair? Probably.

Initially, I thought it sounded like a ridiculous request, but after giving it a little thought, I realized the request was not ridiculous at all. If my hat flies off while I'm in the middle of a killer salchow, someone might get hurt. Do I want little Timmy,to get tripped up over my runaway headwear? Absolutely not.

They will try to push this as a religious intolerance case, but it's total crap. The rink has a sign clearly skating NO HEADWEAR. They offered to let her wear a helmet over her headwear and she said no. They try to make the story even worse by claiming she missed the party -- um, they didn't ask her to leave, she just wasn't allowed to skate if she didn't follow the rules set out for her own safety.

Prepare for new junk searches...

Somali-born teenager plotted car bombing at Oregon tree lighting ceremony.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Federal agents in a sting operation arrested a Somali-born teenager just as he tried blowing up a van he believed was loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, authorities said.

The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. Friday just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would set off the blast but instead brought federal agents and police swooping down on him.

Yelling "Allahu Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — Mohamud tried to kick agents and police after he was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

"The threat was very real," said Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon. "Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale,"

Number one: does this mean we will be naked scanned/junk searched before entering all vans and/or attending all tree lighting events?

ENGLAND - Girl, 15, arrested over 'Facebook Koran burning video'

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English language version of the Koran.

The 15-year-old, who lives in the West Midlands, allegedly posted the video, filmed two weeks ago on her school premises, on Facebook. The video was reported to the school and subsequently removed, police said. A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats. Both have been released on police bail.

Hmmm, and here is where I wonder out loud if someone would be arrested for burning the holy book of any other religion? I'm gonna take an obvious leap and guess no.

Korean Time Bomb

Another skirmish between the Koreas. Now if only one of these skirmishes was big enough to topple the completely insane government that runs the place. That would be a great day for the civilized world and especially great for for the millions of people that live (and starve) in North Korea a.k.a. the world's largest prison camp.



Coincidently, my recent documentary theme has been North Korea, last night's movie was Independent Lens: Seoul Train. The documentary follows defectors trying to seek refuge in, or simply pass through China. However, they are usually denied refugee status and instead arrested and returned to North Korea where they face severe punishment or execution.

In the scene shown, a North Korean family is trying to pass the gates of the Japanese Embassy. They were arrested and would normally have been returned to North Korea, but because the story became so high profile, the family was actually allowed passage to South Korea. None of the others in the movie were nearly as lucky.

So, what's the big deal with freedom? Watching this movie should clear that up for just about anybody...

Ground Zero Mosque Bids for Federal Funding

Excerpts from the AOL article View full story.


The developers of a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero are seeking federal redevelopment grants reportedly worth $5 million, further infuriating some families and first responders.

"I think it's an insult to the 9/11 families. It's another smack in the face," retired Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches, who lost a firefighter son during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, told the Daily News.

"Why would we give them money ahead of so many other worthy groups?" Tim Brown, a retired firefighter who was a first responder on 9/11, told the New York Post.....

"We are now turning to the challenging but important task of sorting through the applications to identify those that address long-standing community and cultural needs," corporation spokesman John De Libero told the Daily News.

Those seeking funds must show a "nexus to revitalizing the World Trade Center site and its surroundings," Julie Menin, a member of the corporation's board, told The Times. Proposals focused on creating jobs and partnerships with other organizations in the area would be favored, she said. She told CNN the grants would range from $100,000 to $1 million.

"There are going to be very tough choices," she told The Times.

The grants are expected to be awarded early next year.

Junk Touching

Not quite the 18th-century elegance of "Don't Tread on Me," but the age of Twitter has a different cadence from the age of the musket. What the modern battle cry lacks in archaic charm, it makes up for in full-body syllabic punch. Don't touch my junk is the anthem of the modern man, the Tea Party patriot, the late-life libertarian, the midterm election voter.

...everyone knows that the entire apparatus of the security line is a national homage to political correctness. Nowhere do more people meekly acquiesce to more useless inconvenience and needless indignity for less purpose.

The ultimate idiocy is the full-body screening of the pilot. The pilot doesn't need a bomb or box cutter to bring down a plane. All he has to do is drive it into the water, like the EgyptAir pilot who crashed his plane off Nantucket while intoning "I rely on God," killing all on board.

TSA Screener accosts 3 year old...

Fresh from the "You gotta be $%!#ing me!" file....

Via Red State The TSA recently implemented new supposed security measures , which include a mandated trip through a full body scanner that shows you in all your naked glory, or lack thereof. It’s all cool, though, because if you don’t wish to have your naked body ogled, you can always get felt up instead via the new “enhanced pat-down” option. It’s all about choice, baby! Whichever you prefer: leering or groping.

Surely, you’d think, this wouldn’t be done randomly, but would rather be a targeted measure. And, you’d also think, certainly the absolutely random subjection of children to such “pat-downs” wouldn’t occur. Well, you’d be wrong on both counts. Of course this isn’t targeted – that would be too profile-y and stuff! Because, tolerance. Or something. You see, because we must tolerate those who wish to kill us, we cannot offend them. We cannot be perceived to be singling out a certain group. We must, therefore, waste time and resources using terrorism countermeasures against, you know, NON-terrorists. And we are to pretend that 90-year-old grandmas from Nebraska flew planes into buildings on September 11th. Or that three-year-old girls strapped bombs to their shoes or in their underwear.

CAIR: TSA Can Only Pat Down Muslim Women’s Head, Neck

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued a travel notice to Muslim airline passengers, warning them that new regulations from the Transportation Security Administration violate certain religious rules.

According to CAIR, the TSA’s new “enhanced pat down” policy should be limited to searching only around Muslim women’s head and neck if they are wearing a hijab and that Muslims objecting to the enhanced full-body scans have the right to request the pat-down procedure be done in a private place.

In February, the Figh Council of North America, a group of Islamic scholars, issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, that full-body scanners violate Islamic law. Read more via the Blaze

The warnings are part of a series of new measures designed to reduce smoking. Others include the restriction of the terms “light,” “low,” and “mild,” and a ban on fruit- and candy-flavored cigarettes. The new warning requirement will go into effect on September 22, 2012.
