This time it’s deadly. With a bonus discussion on surviving the coming meltdown.
Did Obama Save The Auto Industry?
Another false campaign narrative.
Obama’s Worst Gaffe
…since he met Joe the Plumber?
Ed Driscoll has a roundup.
Operation “Wide Receiver”
…had absolutely nothing to do with “Fast and Furious.” But the Big Lie will continue from those covering for the Dems and Holder.
I wish that people, including Fox News, would stop calling it a “botched” operation.

Welcome to it, and thanks, Mr. President.

Muslims, Mormons And “Liberals”
Some thoughts on how some religions are more equal than others:
The “Book of Mormon”—a performance of which Hillary Clinton attended last year, without registering a complaint—comes to mind as the administration falls over itself denouncing “Innocence of Muslims.” This is a film that may or may not exist; whose makers are likely not who they say they are; whose actors claim to have known neither the plot nor purpose of the film; and which has never been seen by any member of the public except as a video clip on the Internet.
No matter. The film, the administration says, is “hateful and offensive” (Susan Rice), “reprehensible and disgusting” (Jay Carney) and, in a twist, “disgusting and reprehensible” (Hillary Clinton). Mr. Carney, the White House spokesman, also lays sole blame on the film for inciting the riots that have swept the Muslim world and claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his staff in Libya.
So let’s get this straight: In the consensus view of modern American liberalism, it is hilarious to mock Mormons and Mormonism but outrageous to mock Muslims and Islam. Why? Maybe it’s because nobody has ever been harmed, much less killed, making fun of Mormons.
Sanctimonious, hypocritical cowardice.
[Update a few minutes later]
Ignorance, too:
…isn’t it interesting that since 9/11 so few “liberals” or “progressives” in that media (and elsewhere for that matter) evince a serious interest in Islam? It’s hard to find one who knows much substantive about it. Few even know what taqiyya or dhimmi law are. I have had many blank stares from otherwise intelligent people when asking even rudimentary questions.
I think the reason for this is a convenient and largely deliberate ignorance. Liberals know if they scratch the surface of Islam all the misogyny and homophobia will come pouring out, not to mention the tenets of Sharia with its attendant superiority of religious law to state law and the consequent abolition of the separation of church and state — all values and goals supposedly anathema to the liberal mind. Trying to reconcile those things with the policies of their hero-president would make their heads explode, so better not to know about them.
Easier to keep a head from exploding when it’s buried in the sand.
The Obama You Don’t Know
Actually, some of us knew this a long time ago, but at last, four years too late, at least some members of the media have started to vet this creature. I guess the rest of them were too busy digging through Wasilla dumpsters to bother the last time around.
Arrrr, Maties
It be that time of year again, to talk like a pirate. The beauty Debbie Witt has some links.
