American Muslim Khizr Khan who’s Son died in Iraq in 2004, gives stinging rebuke to Trump

I hate to say this; but, this guy, gave Donald Trump a huge black eye.

The Video: (H/T to WaPo)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ery-Zgo5ALs?rel=0

Skip to 3:35 in the video and just watch… 😯

The money clip in this video, happens at 4:22 and continues to the end. I mean, what can the right honestly say, in response to this; without sounding like a bunch of racist bigots?

Well, one such person did just that, and failed utterly miserably.

Listen to a one Sandy Rios of the American Family Association spittle all over herself:

(H/T Right Wing Watch…(Yes, I know, I used them and I have no shame in that. You spew hatred in the name of Christ or Christian values, you get called out on this blog. Period, End of discussion… 😡 )

Quote:

“From my perspective, it is the responsibility of Mr. Khan to distinguish himself from Islamists, from the Muslim Brotherhood whose treatise is to destroy us from within,” Rios said. “If he is a patriotic, loyal, American-Muslim, then we want to hear that, that’s great, and we grieve with them over the death of their son. But do not disparage Americans or Donald Trump for having concerns about Muslims in our midst.”

She continued, “And if you are so concerned, Mr. Khan, if you’re an American first, then distinguish yourself and condemn Islamists, condemn the Muslim Brotherhood, then we will listen to you, and stop waving the Constitution. As far as I can tell, Islam, truly, supporters of Islam and the Quran, cannot embrace the Constitution. Now, if you have a different view, then explain that to us and then maybe we can be persuaded, but don’t shame America for having genuine and rightful concerns about Muslims in our midst when we have no idea who they are or what they really believe, and we’re not even sure about you, sir, because we know about taqiyya, which is the practice of lying to the infidel in order to advance the Muslim cause.

“So I’m sorry, we’ll not be shamed. I’m sorry for the loss of their son and I hope he is a loyal American, but I think a loyal American Muslim would be more like Zuhdi Jasser, who is very clear about where he stands, who was very patriotic and loyal and totally distances himself from Islamism, so if that’s the case for this gentleman, then he should’ve said that on the platform rather than shaming us for having concerns about Muslim immigration.”

Hey, Sandy Rios, I am not sure about you either. Whether or not you are really a born-again Christian or not; Because the Bible does truly say this:

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. – (Matthew 5:44-48 KJV)

Furthermore, I am equally troubled that the American Family Association has given this two-bit nitwit to espouse her obvious blind hatred of American Muslims. The real kicker? This hateful woman is the AFA’s director of governmental affairs, that my friends is very troubling.

Now, I know that I do support Donald Trump and I also know that he has made these comments about Muslims; that is the part that I really do not feel comfortable with and how he would use the office of the President to abuse freedom of religion in this Country. Because if he did this with Muslims; who is to say, a Democratic Party President would not do so….with Christians.

So, my open message to Sandy Rios is this: You do not speak for me bitch, not as Christian, not as a Baptist, nor as a Conservative American. 😡

I also want to add this: I have no quarrel with Muslims, who have moved here; so that they may be free, those who have embraced our Country, our values and our way of life. This man obviously had, and Sandy Rios is a perfect example as to why the Conservative Christian has never truly gotten a seat at the table of the Republican Party. I hope it says that way too. Christian dominionism is a dangerous thing and we constitutional minded conservatives, must keep it out of Government at all costs. This Sandy Rios is a perfect example of as to why it must be.

 

 

Texas D.A. drops charges against pro-life filmmaker

Some good news for a change:

On the night the head of the Planned Parenthood abortion company is slated to speak to the Democratic National Convention, the man behind the undercover videos has been vindicated. Again.

As LifeNews reported last month, a Harris County, Texas judge dismissed the bogus misdemeanor charge against David Daleiden for allegedly trying to buy body parts from the Planned Parenthood abortion business he was exposing for selling them as a part of the Center for Medical Progress’ undercover investigation.

Today, Harris County District Attorney’s office on Tuesday dismissed all charges against Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the pro-life advocate who worked with him on the groundbreaking videos – Source: D.A. Dismisses All Bogus Charges Against David Daleiden for Exposing Planned Parenthood | LifeNews.com

In the end, the truth always wins out. 🙂

I have a theory on the shooting in Munich, Germany

As you all might have heard, there’s been a mass shooting in Munich, Germany.

I suspect far-right wing German Nationalists. Here’s why:

Via the Daily Mail in the U.K.:

Witnesses said that the gunman screamed ‘I’m German’ and ‘f*** foreigners’ before shooting.

And this:

That’s not a Arab or any other sort of foreigner. That’s a white guy.

I tend to think that it is some sort of far right-wing, German Nationalist group.

Dems platform change on Abortion could cost them votes from Anti-abortion Democrats

This could be bad for Hillary and the Democrats:

A Democratic Party proposal to amend the party’s platform to include more progressive language around abortion rights has outraged Democrats who oppose abortion, with some saying the issue has cost Hillary Clinton their votes.

The fallout centers around a proposal to repeal long-standing legislation that limits federal funds for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or life-threatening pregnancies — the so-called Hyde Amendment. Some version of this ban has been included in annual federal spending bills since the late 1970s.

The draft platform says Democrats “will continue to stand up to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood health centers” and “will continue to oppose — and seek to overturn — federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment.”

Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life, said the progressive language on the platform is making the party smaller. “This platform’s language just says (to abortion opponents) you are no longer welcome,” she said. “This has been the general message pro-life Democrats are receiving across the country.”

Day said ever since the Democratic National Committee released its 2016 platform draft July 1, she has gotten calls from Democrats that oppose abortion and say the language is keeping them from voting for Clinton.

Carol Crossed, 72, a retired elementary school professor from Rochester, N.Y., is one of those Democrats.“

They are pro-choice because they don’t want to be infringing their opinion on others,” she said. “Now their platform says if you don’t like abortions, too bad — you are going to pay for it anyway.”  – Source: USA Today Anti-abortion Dems outraged by platform change

You have to understand something here; not all Democrats are pro-choice. There are some Christians, who are very devout to their Church. But, because of their background, they are committed Democrats. I know, I used to be one of those kind of people. So, I see where these people are coming from. I mean, these people are put into a very tough position; they are horrified by what the Republican Party is running for President. But, that the same time, they are also horrified at what the Democrats are doing with abortion.

This is what happens, when a political party goes very far to the left, of what it was founded as. The Democratic Party was not founded as a “Progressive Party” in the modern day sense. It was founded as a populist alternative to the Republican Party of old; which favored the businesses tycoons of old.

Needless to say, both political parties have changed greatly as whole. The Republican Party now has many factions; you have the movement grassroots faction, you have the elitist faction; it is a sight to behold. The Democrats, on the other hand; have become this “progressive socialist” party, that seems to be anti-white, anti-police and it is, quite frankly, unnerving to people like myself, who have a keen sense of history to watch a political party like that shift that far to the left.

The Democratic Party and it’s followers, have embraced a strain of progressivism that is intolerance of dissenting views and wishes to prosecute anyone who dares to disagree with them; either by discrediting them or by violence. This is nothing more than left-wing fascism. It is the hallmark traits of communism. I have always said, since about 2007; that the distance between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party and Communist themselves, used to be the width of the Grand Canyon. Now, with the infiltration of the progressive socialists in that political party; that distance is more like a small city block.

 

David Duke for Congress?!?! Good Luck with that!

The stupidity of this below boggles the mind. 🙄

David Duke says he is getting ready to run for Congress.The former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and ex-candidate for Louisiana governor told The Daily Beast he is heavily leaning towards challenging Rep. Steve Scalise. Scalise is the No. 3 Republican in the House who reportedly once called himself “David Duke without the baggage” and spoke at a white nationalist group that Duke founded.“I’ve very seriously set up an exploratory committee to run for the United States Congress against Steve Scalise,” Duke said. “I expect to make a decision in a few days” ahead of the July 22 ballot deadline.Duke said the killing of five white police officers in Dallas by a black militant pushed him to the brink of running.“I don’t take any satisfaction in the fact that I was right, but I have been right,” he said. “Unless European Americans stand up, they are going to lose everything they care about in this country.”Duke sees 2016 as his year to win because of new racial tensions.“There are millions of people across the country who would like to have me in the Congress. I’d be the only person in Congress openly defending the rights and the heritage of European Americans,” he said. “We are on the offensive today. There’s no more defenses.” Via: David Duke Plans to Run for Congress Against the Republican Who Spoke to His Group – The Daily Beast

Quite bluntly, this guy has as much chance of getting elected, than I do getting elected President of the United States of America. 😆

Oh, and the stupidity continues:

Aware of his checkered history, Duke said he welcomed the backlash that would come if he runs.

“We have social media and the Internet today puts me at an even footing with you. The truth is going to get out one way or the other. I demand some fair treatment. The media can demonize me all they want. They can lie about me. They can say whatever they want about me. Things are changing in this country,” Duke said, his voice rising to a crescendo.

“We’re in a revolutionary spirit.”

In other words, he is running to put this name in the media, so he can get more hits on his website and maybe, possibly, sell a book or two. What some people will not do to pimp themselves out for a few sheckles.

Because let’s just be real folks; this guy is not only going to face a very stiff headwind from the left; but also from the right as well and yes, that does include the Republican Party. If you think that the Republican establishment is going to let this guy even remotely win; you are very highly mistaken.

Donald Trump may have blown a few doors open in the Republican Party; but this here, is definitely not one of them. The Republican Party has been burned in the past, by many a professional bigot, if there is such a thing — and they are not going to be burned again.

Besides all of that; has David Duke forgotten exactly what group of people basically runs that political party? I think he is making a very big mistake; that will set his cause back many, many years. Basically, he is the white equivalent of black lives matter; a movement that is about to be shoved to the dust bins of history, as a violent extremist group.

White people need a voice, but not his, not at all. 😡

….and before anyone calls me a “N*gger lover” or a Jew. Take a look at my profile page and tell me what I am, thanks.

 

Good job old man

You know, there’s a lot of things that happened between me and this blogger that I’m about to link to a couple of years back; and I must admit I wasn’t too happy about how all that went down.

Many things can be said about him, none of which I’m not going to print here; because personally I don’t know the man’s heart at all.

But, there is one thing you can not say about him at all — And that’s that he does not have his family life, down to an exact science. Because in my book any man who steps up to the plate and takes on the challenge of fatherhood and decides to build a family; is a bigger man, than any pop star, baseball player, movie star, rock and roll musician or anything like that.

Mr. McCain you’ve done one hell of a good job and I God bless you for it. 🙂

I just wish things between you and me had worked out on better terms than what they did and I wish we would have been able to meet each other before the neocons got involved.

Video: On the shooting of Philando Castile

Wow, two in a row. First Baton Rouge and now this.

This one though, is a bit different; Baton Rouge was a person resisting arrest. This one is a over-zealous police officer, who very much overreacted. 🙁

See the reports here, here, here, here, here and here’s the video on facebook, if you care to watch it, it is quite graphic, so be warned.

Also too, EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERYONE should read This column here over at The Federalist. It is truly very good.

Sarah Palin’s speech for Trump invokes memories of George W. Bush era

Apparently Sarah Palin gave a speech in support of Donald Trump. You can go watch that video here.

The things said, in that video, quite frankly, remind me of another era in conservative politics and national politics in general.

Jazz Shaw, over at Hotair.com gives the low-down:

Skip to 11:32 for the key bit from today’s speech in Denver. “They’re not all bad,” she says of right-wing anti-Trumpers. “I’m kidding. They are.” I don’t mind the insults as much as I do the fact they still come paired with appeals for unity, as though calling someone a traitor enough times might someday finally open their minds to Trump’s divine greatness. “We don’t need you treacherous #NeverTrump dirtbags” is a coherent approach. That’s a kiss-off. “We need you and we’re pleading with you as patriots to help us stop Hillary” is another. That’s earnest outreach. “We need you treacherous #NeverTrump dirtbags” is a co-dependent ex-boyfriend/girlfriend clinging to your ankle while sobbing. It won’t work. The same goes for any anti-Trumpers who, after spending the past year deriding Trump fans, would suddenly insist that they get with the program and back a new nominee if Trump were deposed at the convention. We’re a party stuck in a broken marriage whose two spouses despise each other but who can’t bring themselves to divorce. The path to reconciliation probably doesn’t involve cutesy-poo “RAT” acronyms, I’m thinking, just as it doesn’t involve “You’re either with us or you’re against us” ultimatums. If we’re going to do that, let’s give up on reconciliation, no?

Please, keep in mind that HotAir.com is decidedly anti-trump; and I really do NOT agree with them on Trump at all. However, there are some things in this speech that bother me greatly.

The whole idea of, “You are either with us or against us.” is troubling for a good many reasons. I am old enough and have been around politics enough to remember the George W. Bush-era. I have also been around long enough to remember that during the lead up to the war in Iraq, which most on the right concede, was a tragic mistake, that caused more problems than it solved; the attitude among those who were loyal Bush supporters, was “You are either with us or against us.”

This mentality is dangerous, it is fascist and it is wrong. The idea that someone who disagrees with those who support Donald Trump is some sort of enemy; smacks of the George W. Bush Iraq War era. When dissent was labeled treasonous.

Please, do not misunderstand me at all. I happen to believe that Donald Trump will make a wonderful President. I believe he will stand up to the globalists and balance out our trade deals in our favor. I believe that Trump will straighten out our illegal immigration problem. I believe that he will strengthen our Military and put America on an “America First” foreign policy course.

But I’ll be damned, if I will be labeled a “rat” or a “traitor”; If I happen to disagree with something that he says or does! 😡

If Sarah Palin thinks that making speeches like this, is doing anything to help Donald Trump’s cause; she is very, very, highly mistaken. Donald Trump is not perfect, he is not a king. He is not a Messiah of any sort at all. Donald Trump is running for the highest office in United States politics and that is the President of the United States of America.

I am glad to see that Sarah Palin and many other conservatives are rally behind Trump. But, the use of these sort of statements towards those who do not support Trump; are very off-putting to people like me, who happen to remember when the Republicans lost their ever-loving minds back in 2003-2004.
