The only national (Republican) figure who is standing up to the racist, fascist PR that has been ginned up around Cordoba House (the “Ground Zero” mosque). I am proud to say that I voted for Ron Paul for President, and hope to again;

“The Art of the Steal”
I grew up in Philadelphia, and remember the media environment of non-stop propaganda against Dr. Barnes, his will, and his foundation, and I knew, just knew, that someday the people behind it would succeed in stealing his singular collection. Well they have, and in Art of the Steal, Director Don Argott shows us how the powerful interests behind Philadelphia’s arts syndicate did it, all legal-like;

Moloch’s Holy Ground
But he speaks the truth - we have been OWNED;
Full of Something
“The Giving Pledge is the brainchild of billionaire businessmen Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The two of them have teamed up to ask the world’s wealthiest people to donate at least 50% of their fortunes to charities. They believe that the richest people in the world can eradicate many of the world’s problems through philanthropy. The pledge is not a binding contract but more of a “moral commitment”. Individuals are free to donate money to whatever cause they would like. So, far about 40 billionaires have accepted the giving pledge challenge. That’s not a large number when you consider that there are nearly 1,000 billionaires in the world, according to Forbes. So, who hasn’t signed up and for what reason? “
Gates and Buffett will not give away ONE DIME.
Instead, they will put all of their billions into foundations they and their heirs control, to lobby for things THEY believe in, at everyone else’s expense.
Also, they are both HUGE proponents of letting the estate-tax cut expire, because then, when small businessmen die, their heirs will have to sell their companies, at a huge discount, to pay the estate tax.
And who will buy these companies at a huge discount?
Uh-huh, people like Buffett and Gates. Screw them.
Also, it is turning the concept of (Christian) charity on its head - proclaim your “giving” as loudly and ostentatiously as you can, and bullyrag others to do do likewise;
“Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Matt 6:5,Matt 6:16,Matt 23:5
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Luke 6:24
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. Jer 17:10, Matt 6:6, Matt 6:18″

Of Allah, and Moloch
Not The Only Bull-God Here
Isn’t there a rule against putting one church (the Muslim mosque) on the grounds of another (the Nationalist “Ground Zero”)? Seriously, when do “we”, meaning the public, let this ridiculous miasma of a grotesque nationalist mausoleum go, and let the people who live and work in this long-stricken area get their property rights and their lives back? Do our elites really plan to reserve their hideous ‘holy ground’ for a temple to Moloch, alone?
BTW, another of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse has arrived - the NJACLU is lauding NJ governor Chris Christie for defending Cordoba House (mass e-mailing, not that they could be bothered to post it on their site or anything).
And never mind that the area also contains restaurants, bars, offices, hotels, , Christian churches, and several, er, OTHER businesses.
Manhattan has been suffering from this statist deformity since way before 9/11/2001. I can’t find the contemporary (New Yorker?) article, but Wikipedia also mentions that acres of property were stolen, and a hundred residents evicted to make way for Nelson Rockefeller’s monstrous, diplopic, evidently flammable penis extension back in 1964;
I don’t need to remind you that this entire controversy is a classic PR-lying campaign, and that to the extent that ordinary America even knows about what is being proposed, it is through the distorted lens of said PR-lying campaign. Previously, the average American would either have had no opinion, or have just assumed that, it being NYC, a half-dozen mosques already existed in the area. Now, that most dangerous and muddle-headed species, Boobus Americanus, has had its consciousness ‘raised’ by its ‘betters’.
At any rate, the fact that 10 years later there is still relatively zero rebuilding progress is a sad testimony to the weakness of the elites, as is this pathetic ‘controversy’. Thank God.

I suffered though INNUMERABLE such visits the Clintons made to wealthy sycophants in NY throughout their 8 years in office, as I spent most of that time working in the NY metro area. A small measure of relief occurred under Bush, who preferred to raise bribes for henchmen in the south and west, though occasionally still pausing to threaten lives and property in my home community. Apparently, Los Angelenos are finding out it is their turn to suffer for the convenience of Obama and his unindicted co-conspirators;
“President Obamas fundraising mission in Los Angeles on Monday evening may have been a whirlwind trip for him, but it was a tedious slog for the thousands who found themselves in gridlock from the Westside to downtown.
A Brentwood residents two-mile jaunt took 45 minutes. An Echo Park couple who left home at 5:30 p.m. found their usual 20-minute drive west to Olympic and Rimpau boulevards took a whopping hour and 15 minutes. An attorney left his Miracle Mile-area office at 5:45 p.m. and sat unmoving in traffic for 45 minutes.
No matter their politics, Los Angeles residents found themselves united. “It was a beautiful thing,” said Brentwood resident Myles Berkowitz, commiserating with his neighbors on Montana Avenue. “Young, old, black, white — everyone was pissed off.”"

We are being stampeded, AGAIN, by a classic PR-lying campaign into a pre-arranged conclusion on immigration, the contents of which will be opaque until passed under a political smokescreen, and a false urgency. When we speak of the “immigration” issue, we are really speaking about a number of separate but interrelated issues They are complex issues, each of which needs to be dealt with fundamentally and without undue haste;
1) Border security, 2) Freedom to trade in labor services, 3) Freedom to trade in goods, 4) Free movement of capital;5) Free movement of people; 6) Privacy; 7)Tax policy; 8) Immigration policies of the US and Mexican governments; 9) Labor regulation; 10) Property rights: 11) Naturalization; 12)Welfare; 13) State sovereignty, and, I am sure a multitude of others.
The estimated 12 MILLION illegals aren’t going anywhere any time soon, why the hurry?
“Ms. Kagan, whatever her credentials as a college administrator, is absolutely unqualified to sit on the US Supreme Court. Her tenure as Solicitor General has been an unbroken stream of defenses of unprecedented expansions of executive authority. , precisely the sort of person uniquely unsuitable for a role in defending the rights of Americans against the depredations of the President and Congress, in the name of the failed War On Terrorism.
Please oppose Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court.”
Another Shining Moment For The City That Can’t Stop Spending
It's Not Just The Service, It's The Scenery
“…(T)he Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a mandatory $5 billion solution for Donovan and dozens of other Tinicum Township residents and businesses: Cut them a check and bulldoze the whole neighborhood. You want to stay? Too bad.”
Wait just a second here. The City of Philadelphia is broke, stone -cold busted, a wealth-destroyer without regional parallel. Until they get their spending and taxing under control, they have no moral authority to condemn a cardboard box, much less dozens of homes NOT EVEN IN THEIR JURISDICTION.
If we lived under a system that retained any justice, it would be Tinicum condemning the rump of airport property technically within the city’s administration, and kicking their asses back across the Schuylkill River.
But good luck doing that. As we have seen in the $20+ BILLION theft of Albert Barnes’ art collection, the judges that hover around the city like flies around a garbage can are owned by the politicians and Big Men of the City That Stabs You Back. They don’t need no stinking jurisdiction, they just take. “Here’s a dollar, now get lost”.
Meanwhile, the city continues to bleed residents, businesses, and, despite (or due to) carrying rapacious and malign taxation policies to a ridiculous extent, tax dollars. And the people that run it are still living in 1950.
