-Lurid Crime Tales-
To Avoid Looking Like a Criminal, Don't Commit a Crime

#1  Don't commit the Crime,
Don't do the time.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 07/18/2013 12:10 Comments || Top||

#2  Imagine if you will, an alternative history where the Zimmerman-Martin confrontation ends peacefully, everyone returns to their homes, Trayvon graduates from the University of Florida and is accepted for enrollment at Harvard Law School. Too much of a leap? Yes, it was for me as well.

#3  Can't read Coulter anymore. Chris Christie, then Romney? That's almost as bad a record as Peggy Noonan supporting Champ in '08.

U.S. Ambassador to Egypt: "Muslim Brotherhood's Lackey"

#1  Are the Sunnis trying hard NOT to say or infer that EGYPT'S MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD = Al-QAEDA = JUST ANOTHER US-CONTROLLED, ZIONIST-CRUSADER
"CIA FRONT/PROXY"???

Nasser al-Awlaki:The drone that killed my grandson

#1  The government has killed a 16-year-old American boy. Shouldn’t it at least have to explain why?

Because they (Gov) are "white Hispanics"?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 07/18/2013 3:50 Comments || Top||

#2  He was a Moslem, yes? He was living in Yemen, yes? His father was THE Awlaki? Yes?

Its hard to be stricken at any of that. And besides who really cares?
You might drop a dime in the toilet, so are you going to fish around in the other stuff to get the dime back? Too bad for the dime.
And were any of the Awlaki's your friend? Anybody at all in that family your friends? Fugetaboutit.

#3  The poor man. There he is, having achieved personal and professional success in the banana non-republic that was Yemen, and his bloodline is on the way to being wiped out. From The Wikipedia article on Anwar al-Awlaki:

Nasser al-Awlaki, was a Fulbright Scholar[44] who earned a master's degree in agricultural economics at New Mexico State University in 1971, received a doctorate at the University of Nebraska, and worked at the University of Minnesota from 1975 to 1977.[15][45] Nasser al-Awlaki served as Agriculture Minister and as President of Sana'a University. He was a prominent member of then-Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh's ruling party.[15][45][46][47] Yemen's Prime Minister from 2007 to 2011, Ali Mohammed Mujur, was a relative of al-Awlaki.[48]

#4  Two points to.consider: the al-awlaki family should take some responibility for choosing their profession that has a lot of risk. And the fact that it was a bad idea to assume you could hide behind a child to avoid the inevitable.

#5  I agree tw. While Anwar probably had it comming he was still a US citizen who was denied his Constitutional rights. The 16 year-old had done absolutely nothing to deserve what Obama gave him. Where is the outrage?

#6  "Where is the outrage?"

Silly Deacon. It's aimed at the

Oh, look - SQUIRREL!

Where was I?

#7  Well.

I'm not blood-thirsty like Threater, but I'm not all that wound up about the poor young lad. Yes he's 16 and an American citizen, but he was in the wrong place, wrong time, etc. As much as I want to look after the civil rights of every American, I'm not in favor of stopping the WoT to be sure we don't harm a hair on the young lad's head.

Daddy al-Awlaki was a bad guy. He should have thought of his family a little more and not used them as shields.

Krauthammer: Unions are in a state of “desperation and disappointment” over ObamaCare

#1  Perhaps a visit or two from the IRS or the Department of Injustice will bring these Union malcontents back into line. See to it will you Mr. Holder, the mid-term is nearly upon us.

#2  "We don't need you anymore."

#3  The down-ticket Dems do, they always do. That's why they're in such a lather.

#4  Lots of company under the bus.
Posted by: Spot || 07/18/2013 9:03 Comments || Top||

#5  What is it now that Unions provide which the Fed does not already require by law?

Especially now cities have crossed the line to set wages for individual companies. And without the Union dues.

#6  You wanted him, you got him. You wanted Obamacare, you got Obamacare. Union members, when will you learn that you are nothing but tools. Stupid ones at that to eat the crap your "leaders" feed you and continue to go along supporting any clown they tell you to. Grow a pair and act for yourself, grow a mind, and think for yourself.

#7  It just occurred to me. It is after the 2014 elections are safely past that the President will put the final cancellation on the Keystone pipeline.

#8  Wehell, after all POTUS Bammer = POTUS Clinton = the DemoLeft's "Man in the White House" - iff true, one would think that the Bammer Admin,
...@etc. Dem Admins would be the one to help put their particular agenda or interests in the limelight???

Lest we fergit,

* IIRC DEMOCRATIC UNDERGOUND > THE AFL-CIO WANTS TO BE THE VOICE OF MOST [All?] AMERICAN WORKERS, NOT JUST THOSE IN UNIONS.

IMO OWG-NWO = aka "SPACE GOVT-ORDER" = De FACTO DEATH, OR REBIRTH, OF ALl-POWERFUL UNIONS IN THE "GLOBAL/WORLD/UNIVERSAL" WORKPLACE, e.g. espec given the prospects of a Globalist-desired "borderless", anti-Nationalist, anti-Sovereign, + anti-Constitution, Electoral "Amerika" come 2015 or ASAP afterward.

versus

* BHARAT RAKHSAK > [King World News] FORMER US TREASURY OFFICIAL: THE FED IS FACING COLLAPSE.

* XINHUA > US DEBT TO CHINA REACHES RECORD US$1.3 TRILYUHN.
