Thrown Under The Back of Teh Bus?
who didn’t see this coming?
The politically charged decisions by veteran Democratic Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California to force public trials by the House ethics committee are raising questions about race and whether black lawmakers face more scrutiny over allegations of ethical or criminal wrongdoing than their white colleagues. ...
There’s a “dual standard, one for most members and one for African-Americans,” said one member of the Congressional Black Caucus, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“When I came in, we said we’ll drain the swamp. And we did,” Pelosi said...

We KNOW What YOU Are...
new memo from the DNC—watch the meme!
If you object to the back-room pork deals, whore-mongering, and midnight madness of the Senate process as it attempts to nationalize one sixth of the US economy, well… Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse [he wishes...] (D-RI) knows who you are…
”...And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.
They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."
Later, Whitehouse [*giggle*] stood by his speech while denying he said it. [is that covered under the Public Option?]

Beyond Celebrating Diversity: Teaching Teachers How to be Critical Multicultural Educators.
The greatest danger that the educational equity advocated by multicultural education faces, comes from educators who ostensibly support its goals, but whose work—cultural plunges, food fairs, etc.— reflect a compassionate conservative consciousness rather than social justice. This session focuses on preparing teachers, not for celebrating diversity, but for achieving social justice in schools and society....

[a] racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.

Narrative:
Active and engaged citizens must understand themselves before they can understand, communicate and relate to others. We believe that this is a process that requires increasingly more complex levels of awareness and understanding. In order to fully attain this competency an individual must first explore their own social identities. They must be able to identify the perceptions that the broader society may hold about their social identities. Our goal is to help students begin the process of making meaning and deciding on the role of their social identities as they relate to their personal context. Concurrently, the student must explore the perceptions/biases/ stereotypes that they hold about social identities to which they belong and also about those to which they do not claim membership. It is essential that they trace the source of these perceptions/biases/ stereotypes.

Reserves
Where you belong!!
Even in Los Angeles, where celebrities dress their pets in designer clothes, a proposal for a $455,000 animal path over the 405 Freeway has riled residents who say scarce transportation dollars should not be used to help deer and bobcats get around while humans remain stuck in endless traffic.
The cost could balloon to $1.4 million if environmentalists can persuade the city to extend the wildlife path, which would be part of an overpass for vehicles and pedestrians, beyond the freeway…
a special path on the Skirball Center Drive bridge so coyote and opossum can commute across the Sepulveda Pass…
“In today’s dollars, doing this to improve the quality of open space and solve a serious wildlife issue is a drop in the bucket,” [biologist Paul Edelman of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy] said. “If we want healthy wild animals in Griffith Park and other open spaces, this is a must.”
...one side would have an extra 5 feet for wildlife.
Because traffic can make critters skittish, the bridge plan includes a 5-foot-high wall to block their view of the freeway and a 3-foot wall blocking their view of the bridge roadway.
...Sierra Club activist Rosemary White said the animal path needs to be extended over or under busy Sepulveda Boulevard or it would be “like signing a death warrant” for creatures coming off of the bridge. City officials said that would cost an additional $1 million, money they don’t have.
Plenty of wildlife crossings exist elsewhere, from toad tunnels in Davis, Calif.—which biologists say didn’t work…
“People need to understand how their transportation money is being completely misspent,” said state Sen. Tom McClintock
That’s what’s called a “Wildlife Connectivity Corridor” in planner-speak. It’s also called that in UN-speak and Wildlife Conservancy-speak. Same thing.
This is the eventual Plan:
*clicky* for larger, better quality
If you notice that there’s a whole lotta farmland gonna be taken over, don’t worry about your food supply. We won’t really need so much as the population will be stuffed into 800 sq. ft. hi-rises centered around walking-friendly town centres [yes, “centres"], bike paths and “smart” rail stations. Oh, yeah—and reduced to about 10%. Eventually 1%.

Things Not Being What They Seem
but predictable, nonetheless
There are two things my Dad told me would create success: without which you cannot achieve it.
-- Show Up Early.
-- Do Your Homework.
Apparently, not learning from HillDaBeast’s mistake in days of yore, the Party of Panderers has done it again.
M. Steyn: “...at the end of [this road] there are no free-born citizens, just ...a nation where everyone is a ward of the state."
Yes—I am yet another blogger “attacking children.”

Some Animals Are More Privileged Than Other Animals
this animal is gonna go have a smoke
Mark Steyn: The state, in other words, is prepared to treat Muslims as free-born adults who can weigh the “cultural value” (ie, the pleasures) of smoking against the health risks. But not the rest of us.
Irritating, right? You ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.
Starting today, state Department of Revenue agents will begin stopping Tennessee motorists spotted buying large quantities of cigarettes in border states, then charging them with a crime and, in some cases, seizing their cars.

I'm feeling engineered
... again
Hands: Stop Shaking Them! A Cultural Shift to End Handshaking in America! ...Her strategy is to spread the message to schools, churches and community groups. To get people’s attention, she proposes National Shake-It Month, a yearly, government-approved moratorium on handshaking that would make some room for the nod. To bring the mass media on board, she has written a collection of slogans.
..."America, where have your hands been today? Please give me a nod.”
..."Hand, hand, fingers, thumb, I don’t need your germs or your scum!”...She sees the campaign akin to efforts to ban smoking in public buildings, a public-health hazard once accepted but now generally frowned upon.
Islamabad, June 30: Maulana Abdul Aziz, the cleric of the Lal Masjid has termed the practice of men shaking hands with women as unIslamic.
All touching ... is against the rules at Kilmer Middle School in Vienna. Hand-holding, handshakes and high-fives? Banned. The rule has been conveyed to students this way: “NO PHYSICAL CONTACT!!!!!”
...has seen a poke escalate into a fight and a handshake that is a gang sign ...Counselors have heard from girls who are uncomfortable hugging boys but embarrassed to tell anyone. And in a culturally diverse school, officials say, families might have different views of what is appropriate.

Progressive Bull Shifting
these proposals don’t even need to make sanse anymore...
Daniel Rosenblum, an environmental attorney and cofounder of the Carbon Tax Center in New York City, a group advocating taxing all CO-2 emissions
...It will be passed through to the ultimate customers, but it will be imposed at the top of the supply chain.
...There are costs society incurs when carbon is emitted. And nobody pays for it right now. Because it’s free, nobody cares about it.
...In order to avoid the tax on the coal, individuals will probably get a more-efficient car.
My car doesn’t run on coal. [Dee Williams’ does.]
...roughly 10 cents a gallon of gasoline or, averaged across the country, maybe .72 cents a kilowatt hour, less than a penny of kilowatt hour.
...increasing the tax each year by that same amount… They’re going to know that a carbon tax is going up, and up, and up, and up. ...4 percent the first year and going up from there…
...What we’re talking about is called progressive tax shifting. We’re talking about a tax of the revenues used to offset payroll taxes or to be used to provide a rebate to all Americans. So it will be a revenue-neutral tax, a tax, but individuals won’t pay any more because of it. So it’s actually not something that you can relate to as a normal tax.
Smells like “Progressive Bull Shifting” to me.
...We’re proposing that all the monies that are received from the carbon tax go back to all Americans, either by offsetting the payroll tax or through a rebate to all Americans, ...
With no vig off the top, no doubt.
... global is the goal eventually....
Ahh ha—UNPBS.

The fog lifts
"I see,” said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
On the May 24 edition of MSNBC’s Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) as “Satan” 11 times, once calling her “that buck-tooted witch, Satan.” ...Bill Clinton and his “fat ugly wife, Satan…
Sweetness and Light has done a damgood job outlining the real action in the Imus debacle. RTWT.
More Imus on Hillary action. *snork*

One Down . . .
Professional Chilling
But as Media Matters for America has extensively documented, bigotry and hate speech targeting, among other characteristics, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity continue to permeate the airwaves through personalities such as Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Michael Savage, Michael Smerconish, and John Gibson.
BECK: “Hillary Clinton cannot be elected president because ... there’s something about her vocal range. ... There’s something about her voice that just drives me—it’s not what she says, it’s how she says it, ... She is like the stereotypical—excuse the expression, but this is the way to—she’s the stereotypical bitch, you know what I mean?"RUSH: My “cat’s taught me more about women, than anything my whole life” because his pet cat “comes to me when she wants to be fed,” and “[s]he’s smart enough to know she can’t feed herself. She’s actually [a] very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn’t have to do anything for it."
Ok. Ok! OK!! Media Matters is right!!! Rush has got to GO!!! He’s ...cat blogging radioing... *shudder*

Deep Background
not an MSM specialty
a Sharpton aide revealed:
“Sharpton acknowledged to me early on that ‘The [Brawley] story do sound like bull---t, but it don’t matter. We’re building a movement. This is the perfect issue. Because you’ve got whites on blacks. That’s an easy way to stir up all the deprived people, who would want to believe and who would believe—and all [you’ve] got to do is convince them—that all white people are bad. Then you’ve got a movement.” Explaining that Sharpton was methodically “building an atmosphere” for a race war, [the former aide] continued: “Sharpton told me it don’t matter whether any whites did it or not. Something happened to her...even if Tawana done it to herself."
Another quote from the “person” to whom Imus thought he ought to apologize.
"White folks was in caves while we was building empires...We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."
Greazy-headed Race Ho'
give ‘im an inch and he’ll sell yer daughter
It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms the airwaves
The interesting bit? This part of Grifter Sharpton’s utterances has been virtually erased from the InterToobz. hmm…
MSM considers it an “oopsie?”
