Surprised they didn't come here with out lax border patrol.

All they had to do was land on the coast of Baja California and then
smuggle them across the border - no biggie.

Wonder if the NAACP has seen this Video of Obama being called a "N*gger," "Coon," and "MotherF*cker"?(Video)




Wonder if the NAACP has seen this Video of Obama being called a "N*gger," "Coon," and "MotherF*cker"?(Video)

Wonder if NAACP President Ben Jealous has seen the video below?

It's time Conservatives took a long look at Reverend Curtis Everette Gatewood, who sponsored this gathering.

From YesButHowever.com:

Reverend Gatewood is the 2nd vice president of the North Carolina NAACP Conference of Branches. He is currently serving his forth term. Prior to 2005, he was the president of the Durham (NC) chapter.

November 2009 – Gatewood Co-Organizes an Anti-Semitic "Hate Fest" Under the Banner of His Position with the NAACP

In 2009, Gatewood helped form the "Black is Back Coalition," with the intent of holding a massive rally in Washington D.C. on November 7th. Gatewood served as the event's official North Carolina organizer. Among Gatewood's partners in this coalition were Abdul Alim Musa, the notorious anti-Semite and terrorism supporter who has applauded the murder of Jewish civilians (see background info here and here), and Omali Yeshitela, the longtime black separatist and self-proclaimed foe of the NAACP (whose many racist and radical statements are catalogued here).

In the over one-hundred and forty online references to the Black is Back Coalition, in every instance Gatewood uses his NAACP credentials to describe himself as a member of the coalition.

The "statement" of the coalition includes a direct swipe at President Obama:

"We are determined to shatter the silence and the assumption of universal support for U.S. imperialism within our community because white power is now represented to the world in black face (Obama)."

It also includes an obligatory swipe at Israel:

"We must act because of the suffering of the Palestinian people whose land and freedom are under the merciless jack-booted assault of the white nationalist Israeli settler state, paid for with U.S. dollars."

In all instances, the statement is followed by the list of coalition members, including "Curtis Gatewood: North Carolina NAACP" (note that he even uses his NAACP title on the event's poster).

The Black is Back Coalition's November 7th rally went off as planned. Days before the event, Gatewood (an active Facebook user) promoted the event on his Facebook page:

"Your friend, Curtis E. Gatewood of North Carolina, will be amongst several powerful national/international activists and leaders who will speak and partake in the rally. Please come and/or pass the word. White racists continue to let their voices be heard, the 'Black' voice is finally 'Back'!!!!"

The full-length audio from the event is available here. But, to provide a taste of the nature of the event that Gatewood (publicly using his NAACP credentials) helped organize, here are a few choice snippets:

The crowd was led in a stirring chant of "Israel ain't no friend of mine…black is back, free Palestine!," over and over again.

Racial Slurs Hurled at Obama

Rapper Head-Roc referred to President Obama as a "nigger" and a "coon" in a rap he performed for the crowd. In reference to Obama inviting the police officer who arrested Professor Henry Gates to the White House "beer summit" (the rapper mistakenly calls Henry Gates "Bill Gates"), Head-Roc says of "the Prez:" "Man, I tuned out when that nigger went the 'coon' route." Longtime radical activist Pam Africa, president of the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (she had also been part of the MOVE black power cult) repeatedly called Obama a "nigger" as well, to the applause and cheers of the audience (she also exhorts the crowd to "whup his ass").

For Tea Party activists, the irony must be particularly satisfying. The NAACP could not produce any video or audio evidence to back up the claim that the "n word" was hurled at black Congressmen during protests over the healthcare bill. But here, at a rally co-organized by an NAACP leader, we have both video and audio evidence of the president being called that very word.

Read the entire article because you will be amazed at the amount of hatred, race-baiting and victim vending the NAACP supports.

Obama’s to Muslims: “Islam has always been a part of America”




Obama's to Muslims: "Islam has always been a part of America"

Islam has always been a part of Obama's history, and he continues to do his best to revise America history. Islamic logic follows that if Islam has always been a part of America, then America is Islamic land to which Muslims are entitled and should be ruled by Islamic sharia law - and waging jihad [...]

At Ramadan, Obama Hails Islam As 'Part Of America'

[[ doesn't ramadan translate to "EAT PORK"?

At Ramadan, Obama Hails Islam As 'Part Of America'

 

David Gibson

As opinion polls registered strong opposition to plans for an Islamic center near Ground Zero, President Obama on Wednesday issued a statement marking the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, calling the holiday "a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."

Obama said Ramadan is a time "when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God."

He noted Ramadan's call for prayer and sacrifice and almsgiving, and said that along with the gatherings of family and friends at sundown for iftar dinners to break the daily fast, they are reminders "that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

As the White House released the statement, a new CNN poll shows nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose building a mosque near the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, and just 29 percent support the idea.

Broken down by party affiliation, 54 percent of Democrats oppose the plans while 82 percent of Republicans disapprove of the $100-million project, which is styled after the 92nd Street Y, a major Jewish cultural center on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The proposed Cordoba House also hopes to promote interfaith dialogue and provide an alternative to the radical Islamic views espoused by the 9/11 terrorists.

"Support for the controversial project is slightly higher among younger Americans than older Americans, but even among those under the age of 50, six in ten oppose the plan," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Ramadan begins Wednesday evening at the sighting of the new moon (though the date can vary depending on the region of the world), and it continues for a lunar month. Obama is to host an iftar dinner at the White House later this week, a tradition begun by George W. Bush his first year in office and continued throughout both of his terms.

"These rituals," the president said, referring to Ramadan, "remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

Using Credit Scores and Criminal Records to reject employment is now Discrimination...so sayeth the EEOC




Using Credit Scores and Criminal Records to reject employment is now Discrimination...so sayeth the EEOC

If you own a business that deals in precious metals, or any else of value, you may be using discrimination if you only hire someone with a clean criminal record. If you own a business where money is handled, I hope you don't use a credit check to verify your employee doesn't have any civil claims. That is discrimination as well. This is what our politically correct society has become.

CNS News reports:

Companies using criminal records or bad credit reports to screen out job applicants might run afoul of anti-discrimination laws as the government steps up scrutiny of hiring policies that can hurt blacks and Hispanics.
 
A blanket refusal to hire workers based on criminal records or credit problems can be illegal if it has a disparate impact on racial minorities, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The agency enforces the nation's employment discrimination laws.
 
"Our sense is that the problem is snowballing because of the technology allowing these checks to be done with a fair amount of ease," said Carol Miaskoff, assistant legal counsel at the EEOC.
 
With millions of adults having criminal records -- anything from underage drinking to homicide -- a growing number of job seekers are having a rough time finding work. And more companies are trying to screen out people with bankruptcies, court judgments or other credit problems just as those numbers have swollen during the recession.
 
Just ask Adrienne Hudson, a single mother who says she was fired from her new job as a bus driver at First Transit in Oakland, Calif., when the company found out she had been convicted seven years earlier for welfare fraud.
 
Hudson, 44, is fighting back with a lawsuit alleging the company's hiring practice discriminates against black and Latino job seekers, who have arrest and conviction rates far greater than whites. A spokesman for First Transit said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
 
"People make mistakes," said Hudson, who is black, "but when they correct their mistake, they should not be punished again outside of the court system."
 
Justice Department statistics show that 38 percent of the U.S. prison population is black, compared with about 12 percent of the general population. In 2008, African-Americans were about six times more likely to be incarcerated than whites. The incarceration rate for Latinos was 2.3 times higher than whites.
 
If criminal histories are taken into account, the EEOC says employers must also consider the nature of the job, the seriousness of the offense and how long ago it occurred. For example, it may make sense to disqualify a bank employee with a past conviction for embezzlement, but not necessarily for a DUI.
 
Most companies tend to be more nuanced when they look at credit reports, weeding out those applicants with bad credit only if they seek senior positions or jobs dealing with money. But if the screening process weeds out more black and Hispanic applicants than whites, an employer needs to show how the credit information is related to the job.

Yes, because only blacks and Hispanics have criminal records huh EEOC? Notice how it's always based around race. I'm sorry, but if a person applies for a position inside my company and you are found to have a criminal record, I'd refuse to hire that person as well. Their skin color means zip. I base it on the content of their character and a CRIMINAL record shows what type content a person has.

Obama's Islamic America?




Obama's Islamic America?

Many Americans continue to scratch their heads and yell "what the hell is he talking about" each time they hear Obama give praise to Islam. We have witnessed the ass-kisser-in-chief appeasing Muslims since he entered office. We have heard Obama talk about all the science and mathematical accomplishments by Muslims, though most of these feel good comments are factually incorrect. Then Americans learned, from the NASA chief, that Obama wants him to reach out to Muslims to make them feel all warm and fuzzy.

What has Islam done in American history? Not a damn thing. Yet Obama continues to make the claim that Islam is a part of America. Maybe he is confusing America with Indonesia or Kenya?

The Washington Times reports:

President Obama says Islam has always been part of America, which raises the question, does the president know something about American history that we don't?

It has become customary for presidents to offer greetings to various religious communities on the occasion of their most holy days. Presidents Ford and Carter both issued Ramadan messages, as did Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. The Ramadan greeting became intensely political during Mr. Bush's tenure because he was seeking to dispel the charge that the war on terrorism was a crusade against Islam. But Mr. Obama has used the occasion of Ramadan to rewrite U.S. history and give Islam a prominence in American annals that it has not earned.

In this year's greeting, Mr. Obama said the rituals of Ramadan "remind us of the principles that we hold in common and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."

That Islam has had a major role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings may come as a surprise to Muslim women. Young Afghan girls who are having acid thrown in their faces on the way to school might want to offer their perspectives. That Islam is "known" for diversity and racial equality is also a bit of a reach. This certainly does not refer to religious diversity, which is nonexistent in many Muslim-majority states. This is a plaudit better reserved for a speech at the opening of a synagogue in Mecca.

Most puzzling is the president's claim that "Islam has always been part of America." Islam had no influence on the origins and development of the United States. It contributed nothing to early American political culture, art, literature, music or any other aspect of the early nation.

Continue reading...

So much for Obama claiming he was a 'student of history.'
