The Bookworm Beat 5-9-15 — the “I’m not all here” edition: "A few days ago, I did a post saying that, since blacks insist that everything whites do or have done is destructive to blacks, blacks might want to stop demanding our help and try to rebuild their culture without white interference. I even had proof that Martin Luther King felt the same way I do, at least when it came to responsibility (and for more on the subject of responsibility, you can go here):"

MSNBC's Chris Hayes Nails It On Freedom of Speech And Drawing Muhammad | Truth Revolt: ""If we were going to do a segment that was about someone that was advertising on the network, and I was kind of on the fence about it or actually didn't even like the segment, right? I thought it was a little unfair maybe. But then someone came to us and said 'you can't do that segment because of an advertiser', I'd be like, well now we have to do the segment. Because it has to be the case that we can do that segment.""Read More......

What does it mean to blaspheme? What is blasphemy?: "Civil laws designed to prevent blasphemy have had mixed results. Scientists such as Copernicus and Galileo were charged with blasphemy for daring to posit that the earth was not the center of the universe. The Spanish Inquisition sought out blasphemers to punish. John Calvin and Martin Luther have both been accused of blasphemy and of supporting the death penalty for blasphemers. In many European countries, where religious and political leadership intermingled , blasphemy against God was equated with treason against the State."Read More......

AND: Nor is Baltimore America’s problem. Baltimore is a Democrat problem. These riots are nothing more than Democrat infighting, and the videos of these riots are nothing more than infomercials for U-Haul and the NRA.
Firefighters Union RIPS Obama: You Say One Baltimore Protest Fire Was Looped on TV… Which One? | The Gateway Pundit: "And one burning building will be looped on television over and over and over again, and the thousands of demonstrators who did it the right way, I think, have been lost in the discussion.It’s not clear which burning building he was talking about… There were 159 fires set on Monday night by “peaceful” protesters in Baltimore.
The International Association of Fire Fighters asked President Obama on Friday, “Which one?”"

Opinion: CO2 is the Demon Because Malthus and Ehrlich Were Wrong About Overpopulation | Watts Up With That?: "Alarmism over population growth was central to the ideas of the Club of Rome. It received momentum through Paul Ehrlich’s even more egregious and incorrect book, “The Population Bomb.” The fact that every single prediction Ehrlich and John Holdren, advisor to President Obama for Science and Technology made, have proved completely wrong doesn’t stop extremists seeing the need for total control. Some believe people should not exist. Holdren thinks they should be limited and controlled as detailed in a list of his totalitarian proposals.He says his views have changed. Umhmm. Read More......
· Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
· The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
· Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
· People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
· A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force."
The Clinton Global 'Graft' Initiative (Summarized In 1 Chart) | Zero Hedge: "In 2010, when Barack Obama said, "I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money," he definitely wasn't referring to the Clintons.
Because it wasn't enough for Bill Clinton to sell sensitive missile technology to the Red Chinese for campaign donations. It wasn't enough for Hillary Clinton to sell America's most valuable nuclear technologies to the Russians for "contributions" to her family's personal piggy bank.
That piggy bank, otherwise known as "The Clinton Global Graft Initiative", had an interesting way of doling out the "contributions" it received."

Holocaust Remembrance Day: "My Leftist friends cannot understand why, if Iran is going to go nuclear anyway, I’m opposed to Obama sitting down with them, signing on the dotted line, and pretending America is Iran’s new BFF in the hopes that Iran will be so taken by this charm offensive, it suddenly gives up on its genocidal goals. I’m offended, deeply, because if Iran is going to get the bomb anyway, it should be done in the face of America’s strident, unyielding opposition, with America doing everything in its power to stop Iran and help protect Israel. We should never, never get in bed with genocidal regimes. No political show ever justifies that."

Some random last thoughts about RFRA and gay marriage: "And here’s another “one more thing” to say about this gay mafia: Because they’re targeting good Christians, I can bet you the Lefties assume that the same people who place such value in their relationship with Christ would never dream of spitting in food — or doing something even nastier."
It’s not about Palestinians; it’s about antisemitism: "The Left’s attacks against Israel are antisemitism, pure and simple. And if you need a graphic illustration of the double standards at work here, I’ve got one for you:"
Some Indiana Interrogatories | Power Line: "Just curious: why hasn’t anyone been to a Muslim bakery to press this new found frontier of anti-discrimination? Ah—Steven Crowder has. Will the Human Rights Campaign Fund descend upon Dearborn, Michigan, tomorrow about this outrageous injustice? I’m not holding my breath. Video is about 5 minutes long:"
Instapundit: "JOURNALISM: Story About First Business to ‘Publicly Vow to Reject Gay Weddings’ Was Fabricated Out of Nothing.And:
See, the attack on this poor small-town pizza place is what bothers me here. I’m at best lukewarm on RFRAs at both the federal and state level, and I have increasingly been of the opinion that Scalia was right in Smith, but I understand why a lot of religious folks fear that otherwise the state will reach right into their churches and ceremonies. And what’s really troubling here is the sheer meanness of the gay rights community, as shown in the aftermath to Proposition 8, the Brendan Eich affair, and now this. I was in favor of gay marriage long before those Johnny-come-latelies Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I may even have been in favor of gay marriage before Dick Cheney. And nothing from the opponents of gay marriage has shaken my belief. The supporters, on the other hand. . . .
