Portland Mayor Goes Politically Correct

By Aaron Goldstein from The American Thinker

In response to the thwarted terrorist attack in the Pacific Northwest, Portland's Democratic Mayor Sam Adams has gone into politically correct mode concerning Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the man arrested in connection with the attempted bombing. Mohamud was born in Somalia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He is also Muslim.

"Bad actions by one member of any group does not and should not be generalized or applied more widely to other members of that same group," said Adams, "Otherwise, as the biggest racial group in Portland, we European-Americans would be in deep trouble."

Mayor Adams misses the point. This isn't about race. For that matter it isn't about nationality either. This is a global problem. As mentioned earlier, Mohamud is Somali. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (a.k.a. The Christmas Day Bomber) was born on the other side of Africa in Nigeria; Faisal Shahzad (a.k.a. The Times Square Bomber) is from Pakistan and Nidal Malik Hasan (a.k.a. The Fort Hood Shooter) is an American of Jordanian-Palestinian origin. Let us also not forget that John Walker Lindh and Jose Padilla were also born in this country.
So what do all of these men have in common? They were willing to kill people (mostly civilian) in the name of advancing Islamic jihad. At what point will our political elite stop pretending that Islam has no connection with terrorism? Mayor Adams (and for that matter President Obama) ignore the cries of "Allahu Akbhar" at our peril. This is a problem that is not going away. It has already claimed too many innocent lives and one of these days it is going to claim a large number of innocent lives again. But how can you solve a problem when our political elite insists it doesn't exist?

Another Surprise!!

Shock and bewilderment overcame me this morning as I looked at the headlines on The DrudgeReport. I had to scroll down the article before realizing the perpetrator of an attempted bombing at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon is Mohamed Osman Mohamud AKA, a Muslim terrorist. Why is it I never see Caucasian Roman Catholics, aged 60 and above trying to blow up, kill and/or maim? Oh yeah, there was that one Timothy McVeigh guy. One nutjob vs. a zillion of the other kind(jihadists) dating back to the time of Saladan. McVeigh almost evened the score. I'll enjoy reading the follow ups from the Council on Islamic Relations(CAIR) on how the scumbucket kid from Oregon is being mistreated.
It's the beginning of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jihad and Fatwah season! Joy to the world, everyone.

Sarah Palin's Thanksgiving Message

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that........

Oops! Those were gaffes given to us by Obama but the MSM failed to make a biggie out of these. Wasn't it cute of Sarah to come up with this? It's one more plum given us by The Lady to tweek the Left.

"Hi Mom"

Next time Ryan McNames wants to lodge a consumer complaint, he’ll know better than to call the Columbia Police Department.
The Missouri man, 19, dialed cops Saturday night to report that he paid $60 to a pair of prostitutes to perform sexual acts for him. As McNames described it, the deal called for one woman to show him her breasts, while the other would perform oral sex on him in the living room of his mobile home at the Columbia Regency Trailer Court.
While “the first woman showed him her chest,” police reported, the second hooker “took the $60 without holding up her end of the deal (oral sex).” The pair then “jumped in their car and left,” according to a police press release. That’s when McNames made the mistake of calling cops to report that he was a larceny victim.
He also requested that officers contact the woman who did not fellate him and “get $40 of his money back,” police reported.
McNames, who admitted knowing that it was illegal to pay for sex, was later arrested for patronizing prostitution. After being booked on a misdemeanor rap, McNames, pictured in the above mug shot, bonded out of jail after posting $500.

Thanksgiving in San Antonio

Some of my favorite people are those I meet on a golf course. It happened again today at Cedar Creek Golf Club in San Antonio. Truth be told, the same occurred at La Contrara resort course yesterday and Canyon Springs the day before. Chances are darned good that most of the fellow golfers are from Iowa, 'Snowbirds', if you will, who escape the frozen tundra of the Midwest for a few months. That was the case on Monday. The man was from Des Moines, an ex-Marine and we knew many of the same citizens from the Hawkeye State. It was also his 71st birthday so I did what I could to make it a fun one. Every golf ball I found was given to him as a gift. Tuesday's partners were a dad and son from Syracuse, New York. They are the kings of snow and cold. My Iowa ties make me an amateur compared to those boys.
In my entire life I've only met one golfer who was anything but a normal, refined gentle person. Came to find out Mr. Crude owned six of those Lions Den porn stores one sees along interstate highways. The ones with only a rusted out mini pick-up truck and a dented Volkswagon in parking lot.
Today I roamed the pastures with a doctor and a health care provider. I'm always reluctant to bring up politics on the course. It is my escape time. At any rate, our conversation about Obamacare took place on the 10th hole. The question from me was, "Is the new health care law going to negatively impact you in any way"? Their response was in unison: "Naw, no problem", followed by guffaws of laughter. The provider said his business would decrease by 5% the first two years and from then on who knows. The Doc, a 41-year old father of six, knows he'll be making a lot less money but in his words, "I love what I do".
And so it goes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Tomorrow I will attempt to perform a magical act not seen in the annals of Thanksgiving holidays; hold my caloric intake to less than 5,000----before the official feast takes place.
The highlight of my week: I've received many hugs and kisses from one of the most beautiful girls in the world, my precious three year old granddaughter.
