The scourge of creeping Sharia

It's been a while since we reported on the menace known as "creeping Sharia". Well, it's time to revisit it. The Minneapolis YMCA is making all its pools Sharia-compliant to accommodate the practice time of a swim team composed of Somali girls ages 7-15.

All other swimmers are kicked out of the pool, the men's locker room door is locked, and female lifeguards are brought in. Can you imagine the outrage from the ACLU and Godless democrats if a Christian organization wanted to have any, ANY special privileges for its swim team on the same basis of modesty?

If America is so immodest for delicate Muslim girls, then why did their families move here from Somalia in the first place....I mean other than to take full advantage of our absurdly generous welfare programs?

Why should American traditions and customs be supplanted in favor of the flaky, backward customs of a primitive cult that views women as property?

This is how "Sharia creep" starts. Little by little they guilt us into changing to accommodate them until one day we don't remember our own customs anymore. We're living as they do.

Have you ever seen anything so stupid as Muslim women swimming?

Carpet bombing scares the crap out of everybody, even the Chinese

The US has very publicly sided with Japan in their dispute with China over territory Japan calls the Senkaku islands in the east China sea, by flying two B-52's over what China calls it's "air defense identification zone". 

I don't really care about these islands, but what I do care about is if we can afford an arms race with China, which things are shaping up to be. China has already prepared it's first air craft carrier for sea-worthiness trials in a couple of years. They've build allegedly advanced fighter aircraft, and their standing army is huge with relatively modern weaponry. I would't want to tangle with them over some remote island in the west Pacific. We'll tangle with them over Taiwan for sure. 

China clearly does not want any military engagement, no matter how limited, with the US. They own too much of our debt and erasing that would surely be part of our strategy. But a weakened and beholden US could entice China into attempting to reclaim Taiwan or these islands or other disputed territories. We'd have to react if our allies in the region asked us to. 

Still, not much causes men to quake in their boots like the prospect of being on the business end of a carpet-bombing run of 500lb ordinance.

Russian-style performance/statement art is not for me

Regular reader Dave sent this in over the weekend. Crazy Russians are, well, crazy! This guy nailed his scrotum to the cobblestones at a......actually, where does it matter? He nailed his scrotum to the street. 

Pyotr Pavlensky said the protest was his response to Russia's descent into a "police state" and was timed to coincide with Police Day, which Russia's law enforcement officials celebrated on Sunday.

"The performance can be seen as a metaphor for the apathy, political indifference and fatalism of contemporary Russian society," Pavlensky said in a statement. "As the government turns the country into one big prison, stealing from the people and using the money to grow and enrich the police apparatus and other repressive structures, society is allowing this, and forgetting its numerical advantage, is bringing the triumph of the police state closer by its inaction."

If there's a better reason to stay away from performance/statement art, I haven't seen one. Yikes!

Cancellation of NCIS-L.A. in 3.....2......1

I don't watch NCIS-LA and pretty soon nobody else will be either. The idiots producing the show decided that they would use it as a mouthpiece to give the Obama administration cover with the TV viewing public.

First they introduced a new character who is an NSA analyst who went to great lengths to convince the audience that the NSA only spies on citizens if a search warrant has been issued. On this weeks episode, the team battles a far-right wing fringe terrorist group whose symbol is the Gadsden flag(yellow with "Don't Tread on Me"). Clearly they have targeted the Tea Party as a fringe terrorist group despite not a single reported incidence of violence at any Tea Party gathering. Contrast that with the rampant violence and general law breaking and anti-social behavior from any liberal gathering of 3 or more people.

Even dumb liberals don't like to be preached to in their TV shows and I predict the end of NCIS-L.A. is near as viewership will begin to drop sharply as people realize they might as well be watching what passes for news on MSNBC if NCIS is basically the same thing.

Sorry for the light posting the last few days. There seems to be an infection of some sort either in my computer, the hosting site Blogger, or somewhere as ads from BetterSurf keep closing some windows such as Drudge and the "compose post" window in Blogger, but not others.

I'm trying to resolve the issue with the department IT guy and hopefully it'll get cleaned up shortly. Until then I have to use a different computer or wait until I get home, which is where I'm writing this.

Computers are such a pain in the ass!

Toure' has the right skin color, but not the intellect

MSNBC's Toure' Neblett possesses the only qualification to be given air time in the main stream media......his politically favorable skin color. Because it certainly isn't his knowledge of rudimentary American civics. He stated on TV that democrat senators from red states are struggling politically with Obamacare because conniving republicans have gerrymandered their districts. 

Toure' must have been learning how to recycle or put condoms on cucumbers in the 6th grade instead of paying attention in civics class. The 17th amendment states that the senators are elected by, and represent, the entire state. They don't have districts. 

What an idiot! He never once considers the fact that everybody hates Obamacare and that we'll hold senators and congressmen electorally accountable for foisting it on us, despite our opposition. 

EPA - practically the fourth branch of government

7 northeast states have filed in court to force the EPA to regulate "indoor/outdoor wood boilers" because they create unhealthy levels of particulate matter. Wood boilers must be a Yankee contraption because I've never heard of them. Is that like a wood-burning stove?

I wonder how the language will read, specifically if it will be so broad as to include wood-burning fire places? It wouldn't surprise me if the EPA banned burning wood on behalf of global warming or some other imagined menace.

Enjoy your fireplace this winter because you might be a criminal if you do it next year.

What's in Ed's iPod?

So with the nation perpetually at war, Washington in crisis over healthcare, and Jen Aniston maybe or maybe not pregnant, you must be wondering like me, "Where did it all go wrong"?

But why ponder the Hegelian dialectic that defines our world when you can escape with some fly tunes like the ones I'm listening to. You could do a lot worse than sitting back in your tiny office cubicle and wasting your employer's valuable work time listening to these musical stylings from the alternative genre:

Divine Fits
The National
Cold War Kids
We As Human

Black mob violence goes largely unreported by MSM

These are the four suspects in a beating case from the Lower East Side where four thugs entered a Korean convenience store, tried to steal soda drinks, and when the owner confronted them, beat the crap out of him with their skateboards, breaking bones in his face and possibly destroying one of his eyes.

I was hard-pressed to find a description of the perps other than "youths", "young men", or just "suspects". Clearly the media, across the board, are engaged in a concerted effort to downplay the rampant crime wave by groups of young black people across the nation in cities large and small.

Blacks as criminals doesn't fit the media narrative of black = virtuous and noble, while white = evil, corrupt, and deserving of punishment.

HealthSherpa.com -- remove government and suddenly things are easy and cheap

With a $0 budget, like 5 days, and presumably some pizza a beer, these three 20 year olds built a fully functional healthcare website called TheHealthSherpa.com. You plug in your zip, select from the price options and off you go to purchase a plan. Click on the link and try it.

What in the name of logic and sanity made Obama spend $634Billion and 3 years on an entire company of complete and utter morons to fail to do the exact same thing? The level of sheer incompetence in this administration borders on the criminal. Add the repeated bald-faced lying that Obama, Carney, and Sibelius did and how do they stay out of jail? Answer, because democrat voters and the media are so obsequious when it comes to Obama, that he or anybody in his administration can commit virtually any sin and they will still support him.

How horribly depressing it must be as a democrat voter and have to live every day knowing that you've sold your soul to prop up an America-hating, adolescent community agitator without a single professional accomplishment, other than bamboozling people into electing him, as your President.
