Liberals Decry Black Conservatives At Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally; “Christianity Is A White Man’s Religion” Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

At Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally this past Saturday in Washington, D.C, a group of black Conservatives were approached by liberals who think they know best what African Americans should do and think.

One says “What happened to your African religion? You’re supposed to be Muslim.” Then, one of the tolerant liberals drops a word-bomb with a splash of racism, “Christianity is a white man’s religion.”

Leave it to the sheeple debating these guys who believe everything they are told as the absolute truth. For buying into political correctness in history, they sure don’t hold PC highly while claiming that Christianity is a white mans religion. Double standard much?

By the way, where was the racism from the ‘crazy right-wing fringe extremists that don’t represent a majority of America” crowd at Beck’s rally?

That’s right. There wasn’t any.

Gibbs Caught Misrepresenting Obama’s Position on Iraq Surge Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Via Townhall.com and Breitbart.tv:

Not only did Gibb’s dance around questions regarding Obama’s past statements–and opposition– for the successful surge in Iraq, he was also asked 6 times if Bush would get any credit for Iraq. Not surprisingly, it’s answered in typical Gibbs fashion.

In 2007, Obama said: The 20,000 troop surge “will not in any imaginable way be able to accomplish any new progress“.

It Never Ends: Obama Blames Bush For Economy Once Again Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

This was old a long time ago, now it’s just downright annoying- not to mention ineffective.

On August 30, President Barack Obama talked about his administrations ‘focus’ on the economy after meeting with his economic team. Of course, there’s no shortage of blaming Bush within the speech– or technical difficulties.

Apparently after the difficulties, the people gathered could not hear what he was saying, but Obama insisted the press could and continued anyways.

Obama Defends His Support For Ground Zero Mosque Monday, August 30th, 2010

In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams, President Obama reinforced his position on the Ground Zero mosque. In typical Obama fashion, he blamed the media for the mis-understanding of his initial remarks.

Of course, we all know nothing is his fault…

However, despite Obama defending his position, it still puts him at odds with Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid who called for relocation. Howard Dean also came out in support of the mosque being moved. As are 71% of Americans who are saying it’s “inappropriate” to put a mosque at Ground Zero.

NAACP President Says Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ Crowd Wouldn’t Applaud MLK Speech Monday, August 30th, 2010

Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP, told Eyeblast.tv at Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally at Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C.– a counter protest to Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally held on the same day from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech–that if you were to read King’s speech to the crowd in attendance at Beck’s rally, no one would applaud.

“I have a feeling if someone stood up and read Dr. King’s speech to that crowd, it would not get applause”, Jealous said.

At the NAACP’s 101st Convention Youth Night in Kansas City on July 12, Jealous claimed  the Tea Party has drank their last cup.

Amazing: Aerial Shot of Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ Rally, Plus A Little of Sharpton Sunday, August 29th, 2010

I haven’t paid much attention to the numbers the mainstream media is saying attended the Glenn Beck ‘Restoring Honor’ rally yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., but I’d guesstimate it’s somewhere around 500-1000 people given their track record on previous ‘estimates’. (note: that’s sarcasm directed at the media’s reporting of the first 9/12 march last year.)

This is a photo I first saw on Twitter, and since I’ve seen it floating around elsewhere. I thought I’d share it with everyone just in case you haven’t seen it.

I did leave the rally early and headed over to Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally in hopes of getting an interview with him. Unfortunately, his bodyguard told me he wasn’t doing interviews.

Despite all the talk from the NBPP president, Malik Shabazz, on how he was going to crash Glenn Beck’s rally– he didn’t even show up to Sharpton’s event. Looks like Shabazz is full of bark, and carries little bite. Read More

Ground Zero Mosque Imam In 2006: U.S. ‘Terrorism’ Fostered Islamic Terrorism Thursday, August 26th, 2010

At a forum in 2006, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf maintained that U.S. terrorism brought about Islamic terrorism. This aides the comments that the Imam made just 19 days after the September 11 terrorist attacks that U.S. policies were an ‘accessory’ to what happened on 9/11.

Last week, we went to the site of the Ground Zero Mosque– which is located just two blocks away from the WTC site– and interviewed the Imam’s close friend and security guard on whether Imam Rauf ever clarified his comments made about U.S. policies as the reason for the attacks; he responded saying the Imam doesn’t have to.

FLASHBACK: Outrageous Video Of How Illegal Immigrants Run Up Health Care Costs, Now Feds Are Moving To Dismiss Some Deportation Cases Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

As reported on the Drudge Report, the Feds are now moving to dismiss some deportation cases in Texas in what some are calling ‘backdoor amnesty’.

Given this ‘get out of jail for free’ card, lets look at one example of how illegal immigrants drive up costs and how this would be completely unfair, not only to U.S. citizens who pay into the system, but also those who come to the U.S. legally.

One year ago, Carol Plato, an executive director of Martin Memorial Medical Center in Florida, gave a briefing on the specific costs and liabilities hospitals incur when they knowingly treat illegal immigrants.

Besides hearing the outrageous itemized costs that Carol lists, even more outrageous is that one of the illegal immigrants treated was deported — after racking up millions of dollars in legal fees– and is now suing the hospital.

Rep Phil Hare (D-IL) Says Questions About the Constitutionality of Obamacare are “Silly Stuff” Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Our favorite constitution disregarding congressman is back again. Guess what hes doing now? Yup, disregarding the constitution.

Well I guess, to be fair, he is disregarding and disparaging his constituent’s concerns that the Obamacare mandate is unconstitutional. So maybe that’s different. Here, watch this, you decide (h/t Gateway Pundit):
