CNN's Amanpour: Brexit A Victory for ‘Xenophobia,' a Blow to the ‘Liberal World Order'
[Breitbart] While reporting on Brexit CNN's Amanpour said it was a victory for "xenophobia" and a blow to the "liberal world order" in the west since World War II.

Amanpour said, "What we are hearing, certainly from people worried who are worried precisely about this, is that they feel that that this marks a victory for the kind of economic nationalism...for the kind of Xenophobia that will imperil liberal world order’ that has guaranteed western property and stability since World War II."

#3  imperil liberal world order

Um, what world order is that? The one where Greece is imploding, where Germany and Sweden are exploding with immigrants, the one where the entire ME from India to Gibralter is a war zone?

And I won't even mention the US.

#7  Only the first blow against your statist ilk sweetie. As more people start to throw off their chains, I expect your kind to do what they always do when faced with the reality that their world view isn't liked or valid.

They will send out the troops and slaughter those that speak out and jail they rest.

#15  Oftentimes, when you think about it, there are good reasons for phobias. If you have a fear of heights it means you don't want to fall. If you have a fear of small, tight spaces it means you don't want to get stuck in there and suffocate. If you fear snakes it means you don't want to get bitten, etc. So xenophobia means you don't want your country to be overwhelmed with obnoxious, ungrateful, trouble making Third World types who will want you to pay for them to have free stuff.

#16  just like our natural fear of ticks
Posted by: Frank G || 07/03/2016 18:13 Comments || Top||

#17  I am not a psychiatrist, but as I understand it, the official definition of a "phobia" is an IRrational fear of osmething. It is one thing to be afraid of falling; being afraid of being anywhere over three or four feet above ground is irrational. Also, the person who suffers from the phobia is aware that the fear is irrational, but can't help it.

Just because you don't like XXXX doesn't make you a XXXXphobe.

Huge Majority Of Dems Want A Third Term From Obama
[Daily Caller] Seventy percent of Democrats want President Obama to run for a third term, a new poll published Thursday revealed.

Asked whether they would prefer a Hillary Clinton presidency or a third term for Obama, 70 percent of Democrats polled by the conservative firm Wilson Perkins and Allen said they would prefer a third term for Obama. Twenty-eight percent of Democrats said they are ready to move towards a Clinton presidency.

Even with 70 percent of Democrats desiring another Obama term, Clinton is still doing well in national polls. Clinton consistently sees 70 to 75 percent of Democratic voter support, a number much higher than Trump's average of 65 percent of Republican voter support.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
It's time for Uncle Sam to stop funding Palestinian terror
[NY Post] Just what will it take to cut off US funding for Palestinian terror?

That question has taken center stage amid the wave of murderous "lone wolf" attacks against Israeli civilians, egged on by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Thursday, a Palestinian killed a sleeping 13-year-old girl in the West Bank. The next day, another opened fire on a car, killing a dad and wounding his wife and two kids.

Since September, the terror spree has left 40 dead and 430 injured. And every one of the terrorists -- or their families -- gets a hefty reward from Abbas’ PA.

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions flow to the PA from the West, including America. Which means US tax dollars are, in effect, going to pay for terrorist acts. (And here you thought we were fighting terror.)

Congress may be finally moving to end the outrage. Both houses are considering legislation to cut US aid to the PA by the amount given to Palestinian terrorists and their families. The key will be to make the bill loophole-proof, as the PA has skirted earlier attempts to curb its terror subsidies.

To be sure, some warn against cutting aid to Abbas & Co. for any reason. They fear it could destabilize the closest thing to a moderate regime the Palestinians may ever have.

Israeli officials have made that point. But the latest attacks spurred Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government this week to roll back the amount of Palestinian tax revenue it hands the PA, by deducting what the PA pays to its killers.

"Payouts to terrorists and their relatives constitute an incentive to murder," a government statement said. No kidding.

Sending US tax dollars to the PA, only to see them go to reward terror, is a moral obscenity.

Congress should do all it can to curb the practice -- pronto.
