UK’s government schools mandate exposure to Islamic culture and tradition

The dhimmitude of the UK continues.  From the Daily Mail:

State school pupils are set to be taught Islamic traditions and values in compulsory citizenship lessons.

The move  -  part of a package of initiatives announced by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears yesterday  -  is designed to curb extremism. (Yeah, good luck with that. – Ed.)

Education campaigners warned however against giving Islam a privileged position over other faiths.  (Too late. – Ed.)

I notice they’re not mandating Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic, etc., education for this.  How sad that this once powerful empire has succumbed to political correctness.

Leftists spit on soldiers

NYT refuses to run McCain editorial…less than a week after running Obama’s editorial

From Drudge:

NYT REJECTS MCCAIN’S EDITORIAL; SHOULD ‘MIRROR’ OBAMA
Mon Jul 21 2008 12:00:25 ET
An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES — less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The paper’s decision to refuse McCain’s direct rebuttal to Obama’s ‘My Plan for Iraq’

has ignited explosive charges of media bias in top Republican circles.
‘It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece,’ NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley explained in an email late Friday to McCain’s staff. ‘I’m not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written.’

In McCain’s submission to the TIMES, he writes of Obama: ‘I am dismayed that he never talks about winning the war—only of ending it… if we don’t win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president.’

NYT’s Shipley advised McCain to try again: ‘I’d be pleased, though, to look at another draft.’

[Shipley served in the Clinton Administration from 1995 until 1997 as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Presidential Speechwriter.]

A top McCain source claims the paper simply does not agree with the senator’s Iraq policy, and wants him to change it, not “re-work the draft.”

McCain writes in the rejected essay: ‘Progress has been due primarily to an increase in the number of troops and a change in their strategy. I was an early advocate of the surge at a time when it had few supporters in Washington. Senator Barack Obama was an equally vocal opponent. ‘I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there,’ he said on January 10, 2007. ‘In fact, I think it will do the reverse.’

MORE

Shipley, who is on vacation this week, explained his decision not to run the editorial.

‘The Obama piece worked for me because it offered new information (it appeared before his speech); while Senator Obama discussed Senator McCain, he also went into detail about his own plans.’

Shipley continues: ‘It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece. To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq.’

Developing…

“Mirrors Obama’s editorial”? Um, McCain’s editorial doesn’t “mirror” the Obamessiah’s editorial because he doesn’t believe the same d##ned things as Obama does! Their policies are incredibly different, so why in the Sam Hill would McCain’s editorial “mirror” Barry O’s? Dear Lord, they’re not even trying to hide it over at the NYT, are they?

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Obama – MSM lovefest spoof

Michelle Malkin has a photoshop contest to see who can come up with the best spoof on the Big Three’s international cultist trip with the Obamessiah.  The contest is here.  My vote goes to the following, from my friends Buckley and Potfry over at the most hilarious (and politically incorrect) political satire site on the entire Internets…The Nose On Your Face.

Couric needs a shave, n’est-ce pas?

Denver ordinance to combat moonbats at DNC convention will ban possession of…feces?

If you want an idea just how low the ‘bat base is of the left, you need look no further than the steps that Denver is taking to rein in the ‘bats for their convention.  From Denver:

Denver leaders are racing to pass a bill aimed at protecting people from protestors at the Democratic National Convention. The proposal bans demonstrators from having certain items. City leaders call it a “very restrictive,” but limited ordinance.
…
“We’re simply saying you can’t have those in a protest or on site if we can prove you’re intending to use them,” Linkhart says.

The proposed bill would also make it illegal to possess any noxious substance, such as human waste. …

Rumor has it that the proposed ordinance was crafted by a Chinese immigrant Democrat councilman named Hu Flung Pu.  For those of you on the left, that was a joke…lighten up, and don’t toss your bowel mud at me.

Seriously, just how deranged must the Dems’ base be when the city of Denver has to resort to passing laws like this to keep the tinfoilers that make up the bulk of the base at bay?

Poll: Most Americans aren’t blind to MSM’s agenda with Obama

From Rasmussen:

The belief that reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the fall campaign has grown by five percentage points over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help Obama with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.

Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help John McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.

A plurality of Democrats—37%– say most reporters try to offer unbiased coverage of the campaign. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe most reporters are trying to help Obama and 21% in Obama’s party think reporters are trying to help McCain.  (Even more Dems see the MSM bias towards their guy than towards McCain! – Ed.)

Among Republicans, 78% believe reporters are trying to help Obama and 10% see most offering unbiased coverage.

As for unaffiliated voters, 50% see a pro-Obama bias and 21% see unbiased coverage. Just 12% of those not affiliated with either major party believe the reporters are trying to help McCain. …

When half of America sees the naked partisanship of our MSM, then it’s pretty clear the MSM is in the tank for the Obamessiah.  But no…no liberal media bias!

Dems want to raise gas tax

Just to make sure I understand this correctly:

Since Democrats took over Congress and promised us cheaper gas, gas prices have nearly doubled. As a result, American families and businesses are feeling the pinch in their pocketbooks. To help Americans deal with this reduction in household and business income, the Dems are proposing…to increase the federal gas tax?

They don’t want us to drill for more oil. They don’t want us to make more refineries or nuclear power plants. They don’t want us to recover oil from the large oil shale deposits out west. They oppose wind farms because some birds might get hurt. And to top it off, they want to increase our taxes, make energy more expensive, and take an even bigger bite out of our paychecks.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: a liberal will always, without fail, expect YOU to do more with less, but will NEVER demand the same of themselves and their beloved bloated imperial federal government.

Satire alert: New Obama biography

Absolutely hilarious way to start the week off, courtesy of The People’s Cube.  From the upcoming biography “The Audacity of the Dope”, here’s the opening excerpt:

CHAPTER 1 – THE BEGINNING OF THE START

Barack Obama was born Steven Urkel in a log cabin near Springfield, Illinois. His father was a militant piano tuner from one of those African countries where they change the national boundaries every other week. His mother was a loan officer at the Oppressed Proletariat Bank and Trust Company where she spent her days rejecting loans to people who had little more to cling to than God and guns. As a communist, she hated that her job forced her to oppress the poor and disenfranchised; but, also as a communist, she loved power and control so she threw herself into her work with alacrity. His father, not finding a large number of militant pianos in the American Great Plains, left the fledgling family for places with more bellicose musical tastes, leaving young Steven and his mom to fight capitalism alone. 

Please do yourself a favor and read the whole thing.  While stand-up comics may have a hard time finding something to laugh about with regards of the Obamessiah, we here at Crush Liberalism have no humor-impairedness at all.
