A Vote for Former Black Panther Charles Barron is a Vote FOR. . . .David Duke?

Charles Barron has been a Brooklyn City Councilman in New York City for over a decade and has been a stalwart champion of “social justice,” “economic justice” and, of course, “racial justice.”

He’s been excoriated as many times as he’s been lauded by much of the local media in New York City. The NY Times has, on occasion touted him as a fearless liberal and he’s been supported by many much more mainstream “liberals” in New York City, referred to by some of them as, “the conscience of New York.”

Now, the former Black Panther is running for Congress, an open House seat in Brooklyn and he’s been endorsed by a brother-in-hate – David Duke. (SEE: http://www.mediaite.com/online/united-in-hate-fmr-kkk-leader-david-duke-endorses-black-anti-zionist-for-congress/)

Only the most naïve among us, (those who refuse to acknowledge that Hitler, like Mao and Stalin, was an avowed Leftist), would find Duke’s endorsing Barron “unlikely,” or even “odd.”

In his endorsement Duke says; “I certainly agree with Barron that Israel is the worst rogue terrorist state on Earth. It’s not Iran, folks. Barron is certainly right about Zionist control over the media and our government, and the treason that’s existed in our Congress and he’s right about the fact that Zionist wars have caused the death or harming of hundreds of thousands of Americans and cost you trillions of your tax dollars. Barron’s opponent, on the other hand, is a complete Zionist sellout of both the black people and all the people of America.”

In fact, Duke makes clear that race is NOT nearly as big an issue as Zionism is to him; “Black leaders like Barron should work to lessen the enmity between blacks and whites and realize that the Jewish extremists in America keep whites and blacks from mutually solving our interests and differences. The Zio masters want constant conflict between the two groups so they can utilize a divide and conquer strategy over us all.”

Duke also directly criticized Barron’s opponent Jeffries, saying that along with President Barack Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, Hakeem Jeffries is in the tank for “the Zionist Club FED and the international banking establishment.”

Look, bottom-line, if you support the liberal positions on “social, economic and racial justice” then you basically support the positions of Charles Barron. . .and David Duke, as they are all one in the same.

AGW and Reality; Why Public Policy Doesn’t Reflect the Political “Concerns”

The pragmatic view on AGW/”Climate Change” was presented quite adroitly by Bjorn Lomborg on today’s (Sunday, June 17^th, 2012) GPS (http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/). A YouTube excerpt is available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UY2mZq7lSs

While Professor Emeritus Reid Bryson (“the Father of Climatology”) among others believe that man’s impact on GW is negligible, it’s more likely that the GW we’re witnessing is some combination...possibly 70% natural/30% man-made, possibly 60/40, or maybe even 80/20.

The fact is governments (RIGHTLY and expectedly) answer to their benefactors – the global conglomerates that fund them.

ANYONE who thinks otherwise is a naive dope. . .there appear to be plenty of such folks around today.

IF either major Party in the USA cared at all about AGW, they’d have signed onto the Kyoto Accords, BUT BOTH major political Parties here nearly unanimously opposed them (back in 1997 the U.S. Senate DID indeed vote unanimously, 95-0, against passing Kyoto).

TODAY with perhaps the most “liberal” Democrat since Jimmy Carter in the WH, we’re in the midst of an explosion in the production of shale oil and oil sands. “The boom in gas production from “unconventional” reserves such as shale is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs across the US. . .The unconventional gas revolution, driven by advances in production techniques that have unlocked previously uncommercial resources, has led to a surge in output and a plunge in natural gas prices, creating jobs directly in the industry and indirectly in areas that have benefited from the flow of income and spending.” (SEE: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/c1cd2176-b4b9-11e1-aa06-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1xisVYT6H)

So “the Greenest POTUS in history” is presiding over an oil boom as we speak!

Seriously, unless you have absolutely no sense of humor at all, THAT is some very funny stuff!

A shale oil boom is set to create over 500,000 American jobs (See above Financial Times article). I guess “the Greenest PTUS ever” cares more about jobs than “saving the planet,” apparently so do most Americans - just look at the most recent polls. ALL of them place economic concerns (JOBS) over ancillary environmental concerns. Apparently President Obama has and that’s why he’s presided over the “The Quiet Death of the Kyoto Accords” (http://www.american.com/archive/2009/november/the-quiet-yet-historic-death-of-the-kyoto-protoco), as well as this current shale oil boom!

And they wonder why the BRICs have made clear that they WILL NOT allow the industrialized West to scale back their development. Seriously, with America in the midst of a full-scale “shale oil boom” (complete with President Obama’s blessing), it has no grounds at all, from which to lecture the BRICs.

As Lomborg presciently notes, “You can only worry about environmental concerns about tomorrow, once you’re no longer worried about your children being able to survive today.”

Today, the only people apparently taking AGW seriously seem to be the CEO’s of the Big Energy Corporations, as they’ve leveraged this “crisis” brilliantly in order to maximize profits and further expand their control over the governments of the industrialized world!

Appearances Can Be Deceiving....

First it appears that not only is Elizabeth Warren NOT a member of the Cherokee Nation, and that, in fact, an ancestor of hers, Jonathan Crawford was a member of the Tennessee Militia that rounded up Cherokee Indians from their family homes, but now Michelle Obama appears to share a slave-owning ancestor with her husband (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bal-te.obama02mar02,0,5765826.story)!

While Elizabeth Warren’s “Indian-killing” ancestor (I don’t see how that can be construed as a good reason for her to be denied preferences based on her self-proclaimed “Indian ancestry,” regardless of what the Cherokee Nation says”) has been hashed and rehashed, only recently have stories about Charles Shields, Michelle Obama’s great-great-great-grandfather a slave owner from Northern (Protestant) Ireland (http://www.irishcentral.com/news/First-Lady-Michelle-Obamas-Irish-slave-owner-roots-are-revealed-159341955.html).

According to an Irish Central article, “Michelle Obama’s great-great-great-grandmother Melvinia was a slave who had children by Charles Shields, grandson of Andrew Shields, the Times reveals.

“One of those children, Dolphus Shields, born in 1859, was Michelle Obama’s direct ancestor.

“It is not known in Ireland where the Shields came from but it was likely Northern Ireland as the family was Protestant and there was considerable Scots Irish emigration to the American south at the time.

“This article in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/us/dna-gives-new-insights-into-michelle-obamas-roots.html?_r=1&pagewanted=3&ref=politics) is adapted from “American Tapestry: The Story of the Black, White and Multiracial Ancestors of Michelle Obama” by Rachel L. Swarns, a new book due out this week. Swarns used DNA technology to prove the links.”

Certainly Michelle Obama’s ancestry does NOT appear at all as fabricated nor as damning as Elizabeth Warren’s looking to callously and selfishly turn her “Indian-killing” ancestry into “Native-American preference” for herself.

Warren’s known ancestor, Jonathan Crawford apparently helped herd Cherokee Indians into government-built stockades at Ross's Landing, the starting point of the Trail of Tears, along which as many of 6,000 Native Americans died - in January 1837.

Jon Crawford was apparently part of a volunteer militia that served under Brigadier General R. G. Dunlap between 1835 and 1836.

Paul Reed, a Utah genealogist and a fellow at the American Genealogical Society, said primary documentation supports these claims.

'Jonathan H. Crawford did serve in the Indian wars,' Reed told the Boston Herald. 'He is listed as serving in the company that rounded up Cherokees.'

SEE: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view/20220509liz_brushes_off_trail_of_tears_report/srvc=home&position=4

And unlike Barack Obama, whose maternal ancestor George Washington Overall, owned two slaves recorded in the 1850 census in Nelson County, Kentucky, and a great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, who also owned two slaves, Michelle Obama’s antecedents look to be the descendants of chattel rape. Still, it goes to highlight the complex and tortured history of chattel slavery’s story in the Americas.

Who has the claim to greater “victim’s status,” the descendent of Irish immigrants thrust into a Civil War ostensibly fought for the freedom of others, by those who’d never owned a slave and came from a race that had suffered a far more pernicious, destructive and debasing slave trade themselves, or the multi-racial descendents of former slave-owners?

Labor Loses But Workers WIN in Wisconsin!....

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s 53-46 win on Tuesday was helped in large part by labor support - exit polls from Tuesday’s recall election showed that 38 percent of Walker’s voters came from homes that included union members.

And why not?

The vast majority of working Americans remain deeply Conservative, in a country in which (according to Gallup) Conservatives outnumber liberals by over 2 to 1.

Worse still public sector unions are seemingly shooting themselves in both feet every day lately.

Whether its New York City public school teachers with; “An upsurge in sexual misconduct allegations is rocking city schools — with more than 150 complaints against staffers in April and May alone, official data show.

“The last two months continue the trend of more complaints than in 2011 — a 37% increase over last year’s numbers. (SEE: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/education/sexual-misconduct-cases-city-schools-rise-article-1.1090602?localLinksEnabled=false) or retired FDNY firefighter, Philip Scarfi, 50, taking a post as an assistant chief at a Long Island fire department, while garnering a $107,000 tax-free disability pension from the FDNY. Other FDNY firefighters who’ve retired on disability pensions have taken jobs in police departments, one has fought in professional Mixed Martial Arts contests and another became a rodeo clown after retiring on disability! (SEE: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/fdny_pension_hose_job_6qzVwURbH3u8TZcDWLmkXM) public sector workers aren’t doing much to help themselves lately.

Moreover, Scott Walker's win on Tuesday was a sound rebuke by Wisconsin voters that outside interest weren't welcome in their local politics. If anything outside Union support for the recall only hurt that effort.

Is it any wonder that many unionized workers themselves support reining in such abuses?

So while Big Labor and the “liberal” coalition took a big hit on Tuesday, working Americans won big.

Dumbness Really is Forever: Joy Behar’s Words Come HOME to Haunt Her Again....

Way back in 2008 while discussing educational options for young people, Joy Behar made the now infamous remark, “A lot of [home-schooled kids] are demented.”

At the time a number of people brought up that students like Nathan Cornelius, winner of the 2005 National Geographic Bee, 16-year-old mathematician Michael Viscardi, winner of the prestigious Siemens-Westinghouse Competition were home schooled.

As were “seven home-schooled high schoolers” who “swept the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship” (SEE: http://nche.hslda.org/docs/BrightSpots/200805300.asp), as well as Christopher Paolini, author of Eregon, Eldest and Brisingr. Even Heisman trophy winner Tim Bebow and child actress Dakota Fanning were home schooled.

Now there’s Evan O’Dorney, who’d learned how to read and solve simple addition problems at age two, was finishing up calculus by the sixth grade, and won the Scripps National Spelling Bee at the age of 14.

Now, at age 17, ‘whiz kid’ Evan O’Dorney is ranked the second best high school mathematician in the world and is Harvard-bound this fall, after winning first place at the Intel Science Talent Search last month and was recently feted at the White House.

Joy Behar, like Rosie O’Donnell (on Building 7’s collapse on 9/11/01: “This must be the first time in recorded history that fire melted steel”) are two glaring examples of the narrow-minded, bigotry of the Left, with its rigid, fervently religious acceptance of “accepted dogma,” and their reviling those who question such dogma as veritable “heretics.”

Ironically enough, the O’Donnell comment about building 7′s collapse on 9/11 did a lot to undermine the “Truther” movement.

Fire DOES, in fact melt steel at appx 1370 degrees C (about 2500°F). . .BUT the steel supports didn’t have to melt for those buildings to fall. In fires, super-heated gases collect at the ceiling levels of the fire floor(s). That can heat the truss supports to 1500F – 2000F. Since steel loses 80% of its strength at just 1000F, this often causes the roof and floor systems to collapse much sooner than in a wood structure under the same conditions.
