Texas police shot dead two gunmen who opened fire at an exhibit near Dallas of caricatures of Islam's Prophet Mohammad organized by an anti-Islamic group, authorities said on Sunday.

The shooting echoed past attacks or threats in other Western countries against art depicting the Prophet. In January, gunmen killed 12 people in the Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in revenge for its cartoons.

Sunday's attack took place shortly before 7 p.m. in a parking lot of the Curtis Culwell Center, an indoor arena in the suburb of Garland, northeast of Dallas. Geert Wilders, a polarizing Dutch politician and anti-Islamic campaigner who is on a jihadist hit list, was among speakers at the event. 

Stupid, Old, White, Ill-educated Bigoted Southerners Prove Racism and Paranoia Continues to Thrive in the South

I continue to be amazed that the state of California has failed to act on the multiplicity of complaints to their bar association against Orly Taitz.

The woman has a correspondence school law degree that is from a school neither accredited by the state of California, nor approved by any Bar association or chapter, which probably explains why Orly Taitz is so extravagantly incompetent as a lawyer.  Apparently she isn't any better at dentistry or real estate.  (She doesn't appear to be competent at much of anything.)

About the only thing she IS good at doing is exploiting the racism of the right, and conservative paranoia for money. Well.......that and being an unintentional source of hilarity for the rest of the nation who aren't racist or paranoid conservative extremists.  Machine gun shoots are a favorite location for batshit crazy Taitz to troll for clients from current and former members of the military, and for her financial contributors to lunacy like this.  Her support tends to come from the less educated red necks in the so-called 'red' states.

Being ignored is about the best that Orly Taitz and her birther nut jobs can hope for; they could be subject to worse consequences, like the $20k fine for contempt against Tatiz by Judge Clay Land.  His legal decision in that matter was one of the most well written, articulate, and in places wonderfully witty legal documents I have ever read.

And yet, people keep giving money to this ditzy dumbass .......... and not only her, but Ron Paul, and when he makes comments about black people not being familiar with paychecks, they give money to people like the Nut Gingrich and other conservatives as well.

from the HuffPo : Georgia Birther Hearing Proceeds Without Obama, Without Effect

A hearing to determine whether President Barack Obama is eligible to be on the primary ballot in Georgia took place on Thursday, with the defendants, Obama and his legal team, notably absent.
Georgia Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi subpoenaed the president last week after refusing to hear his legal team's challenge to the case, but neither Obama nor his lawyers ever planned on showing up.
Instead, Obama attorney Michael Jablonski wrote a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a Republican and the ultimate arbiter on the question of Obama's ballot eligibility, telling him that he expected Kemp to throw out the "baseless, costly and unproductive" case.
Kemp responded, telling Obama's counsel that they would skip the ballot hearing "at your own peril."
The true nature of the "peril" Obama might face, however, began to play out during Thursday's proceeding.
The complaints being presented at the hearing are based off various claims that Obama is either beholden to an 1875 Supreme Court ruling that determined "natural born citizens" were people born in the United States to parents who are both U.S. citizens, or that he is using fraudulent documents to prove his eligibility.
California attorney Orly Taitz, queen bee of the birthers and a proponent of the latter belief, stood before what Jay Bookman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described as "100 people ... most of them older white Americans" to argue her plaintiff's case.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Judge Malihi was forced to cut her off during her closing arguments, when she attempted to serve as both lawyer and witness.
In the end, no groundbreaking arguments, testimony or evidence were presented at Thursday's hearing, perhaps a testament to the tired nature of these challenges. Taitz is one of the most seasoned veterans of the birther movement, and the fact that she was even granted a hearing came as her first "victory." She was fined $20,000 last year by a Georgia judge for filing frivolous lawsuits of the same nature.
Even with the decision by Obama's legal team to completely ignore the supposed merits of the case, Bookman writes that Secretary of State Kemp is likely left with only one choice:

At any rate, the final decision is Kemp's. Regardless of what Malihi recommends, Kemp does not want to become the Republican secretary of state who ruled Barack Obama off the ballot in Georgia. Becoming a birther hero would not begin to compensate for the lasting infamy such a step would bring him, especially because such a ruling would be challenged in state or federal court and almost immediately overturned on any number of reasons. Kemp would then look like a fool and put an end to any further political ambitions he might have. I doubt that’s the course he will choose to take.

While Kemp, Malihi and the plaintiffs watched the case unfold, Obama was in Las Vegas, expanding upon an energy blueprint that he had unveiled at his State of the Union address.

This is part three of one of the most amazing speeches I've ever listened to. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Ann Barnhardt Goes off the Deep End

Posted one minute apart on April 7th, this:

and this:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I love that little cross at the end of the prayer, and the rosary beads are a nice touch too, don't you think.

Ann posted two videos, seen here and here, which she claims have created a world-wide sensation. I wondered if she's trying to piggy-back on the fame of Pastor Terry. Although Ann's not really attractive, she does have a certain gift-o-the-gab and she does that tough-talking thing that certain types of men find appealing. Apparently she's received some death threats along with the "overwhelming" support. Here's her response.

There are a LOT of emails of concern for my safety. Yes, I knew EXACTLY what I was doing going in to this, and I am HONORED to lead you into this battle. But if you REALLY want to help me, here is what you can do. Go out, buy a koran, video yourself burning it and post that on YouTube. Do it NOW. Show the muslims how utterly futile it would be to kill me. I am delighted to lead from the front, but the only way this works is if you wonderful patriots BACK ME UP. One man storming the beach at Normandy would have been meaningless machine gun fodder. But the First Army U.S. and the Second Army U.K. storming the beach constituted a decisively victorious force. Oooh-Rah! 

What's your opinion? Is she making a mistake to consider all of Islam the enemy? Her premise seems to be built on that. Does she, and the other Islam-haters, not see that there are good and bad people in every group, including the hundreds of millions of Muslims?

What about her tough talk. I think Breda and Tam could pick up a few pointers from this gal, what do you think?

The Ann Barnhardt Response

In all seriousness, this is how the Marxist-totalitarian left works. Notice that there is absolutely no rebuttal offered - just the accusation of "mental illness". I would have no problem whatsoever with someone accusing me of mental illness IF they outlined WHY they suspected such. Make your case. You have my words at your disposal - use them against me. Form an argument. Use citations. Make a logical, reasoned progression using objective data and evidence. If I were you, I would probably attack it from the "extreme paranoia" angle.

In my post which generated such nonsense as "no rebuttal offered - just the accusation," I supplied a quote that should be enough for just about anybody to suspect mental illness. Feigning ignorance in this in-all-seriousness retort, Ann herself supplied the perfect explanation, "the extreme paranoia angle."

Of course, hatred of all Muslims is similar to hatred of all blacks or all gays or all liberals.   I wonder what other groups you hate, Ann, and are ready to justify holy war against. I'll return the favor and supply a suggestion: start with the liberals because we're your harshest critics.

What's your opinion?  Shouldn't we introduce Ann to Bob S.?  He's a guy who can spin the chrome off a bumper hitch, just ask him how he interprets "turn the other cheek."  I know Ann would love it.

A Gun Owner

Heeeeeeeeere's Terry.

Jones said he has received more than 100 death threats and has started wearing a .40-caliber pistol strapped to his hip since announcing his plan to burn the book Muslims consider the word of God and insist be treated with the utmost respect. The 58-year-old minister proclaimed in July that he would stage "International Burn-a-Quran Day."
