Amnesty Allegation: Obama Wants to Create a “Country Within a Country” and Disenfranchise Citizens

By Selwyn Duke

The new illegal aliens are “seedlings” that will develop a “country within a country,” is the secret Obama administration plan. These foreigners will “navigate, not assimilate,” as they eventually “take over the host,” coming “out of the shadows” and “pushing the citizens into the shadows.” So said radio personality Sue Payne last Thursday, reporting on three conference calls involving administration officials that she, unbeknownst to them, was party to.

Payne, who co-hosts the Pat McDonough Radio Show Saturday night on WCBM 680, made the startling allegations while being interviewed by radio giant Mark Levin. Payne says that she became privy to the phone calls at an immigration rally and that they involved 16 Obama administration representatives. This allegedly included Cecilia Muñoz, an ex-senior vice president for the Hispanic triumphalism group National Council of La Raza (La Raza means “the Race”) and now director of Obama’s White House Domestic Policy Council. When asked to summarize what she heard, Payne began:

Bill Nye on Muslim Terrorism: Jews Need to Get to Know Their Neighbors Better

By Selwyn Duke

It was a solution right up there with “Let them eat cake.” Addressing the issue of Jews fleeing Europe due to increasing Islamic terrorism and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for them to seek safety in Israel, Bill Nye “the Science Guy” had an interesting solution: “Get to know your neighbors.” The comment, made on Bill Maher’s show Real Time Feb. 20, was then followed by Nye’s interrogative, “What, does it take a century, something like that?”

This prompted some commentators, such as Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, to say that Nye was blaming Jews for the Muslim threat. Get to know your neighbors? Yes, to pick up on a point Gutfeld made and run with it, perhaps a few dinner parties and other assorted soirees would inspire epiphanies such as, “You know, I was going to chop your head off, but you make a killer matzo ball soup.” The problem here, as Gutfeld said in so many words, is not Jews shooting up halal grocery stores. Nor are Muslims being taunted and spat upon while walking Paris streets as the Jewish man in this video was. But perhaps Nye is like those school administrators who punish a victimized child who tried physically defending himself just as harshly as his attacker in the thinking, “Hey, he was repeatedly punching the kid on top of him in the fist with his face, right?”

Gender Distender: Facebook’s 58+Infinity “Gender” Options
By Selwyn Duke

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality,” wrote Lewis Carroll. And in recent times, reality has been losing that war. It used to be that you’d be asked what your “sex” was, and even flipping a coin yielded a 50 percent chance of being right. Now “sex” has been replaced with “gender,” and then the category expansion of “gender” became, well, a never-ender. And so it is at Facebook, where they’ve added to their 58 “gender” options the following:____________.

That’s right, just fill in the blank.

What was insufficient about the original expanded selection? You can take a gander at the 58 options here and try to figure it out, but what follows is a small sampling:
- Agender
- Androgyne
- Cisgender Man
- Cisgender Woman
- Gender Variant
- MTF
- Trans Female
- Trans* Female
- Transfeminine
- Two-Spirit

CNN Liberal Wants Daughter to Be Lesbian — and Admits It’s a Choice

By Selwyn Duke

We used to hear parents say they want their children to have it better than they did. But that was back before today’s relativism made “better” an incomprehensible term (at least, to the uncomprehending). Now there are dwarves who want to use genetic engineering to design dwarf babies for themselves. And then there’s Sally Kohn, who recently penned an article entitled “I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too.”

No, she doesn’t mean happy. Kohn, a CNN political commentator and lesbian who lives with another woman, presents her rationale, writing:

More often than not, we define happiness as some variation on our own lives, or at least the lives of our expectations. If we went to college, we want our kids to go to college. If we like sports, we want our kids to like sports. If we vote Democrat, of course we want our kids to vote Democrat.

I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too.

Scott Walker Confused About Obama’s Religion — As Is Everyone Else

By Selwyn Duke

Americans have very little faith in Obama’s faith. In fact, accepting that he’s “Christian” seems a leap of faith many citizens are unwilling to take, say polls. And Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin (shown) appears no exception.

Asked recently by two Washington Post reporters if Obama is a Christian, Walker replied, “I don’t know.” As the paper reports, when then told “that Obama has frequently spoken publicly about his Christian faith, Walker maintained that he was not aware of the president’s religion. ‘I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,’ Walker said, his voice calm and firm. ‘I’ve never asked him that,’ he added."

Later, writes the paper, “Walker spokeswoman Jocelyn Webster telephoned the Washington Post to say the governor was trying to make a point of principle by not answering such kinds of questions, not trying to cast doubt on Obama’s faith.”

Obviously, this was an attempt at damage control necessary with hit-man reporters who continually put Republicans in callow and craven crosshairs. And what’s happening, in part, is that the media is trying to “Quayle” Walker. Referencing former Vice President Dan Quayle and the silly and misunderstood 1992 potato affair, this is when the media attempts to characterize an intelligent conservative candidate as a dolt, either through inordinate focus on a normal gaffe or via the use of gotcha questions.

Money-grubber Sharpton? Eric Garner’s Daughter Slams Rev. Al

By Selwyn Duke

He may be a “reverend,” but it seems Al Sharpton (shown) hasn’t absorbed the biblical admonition “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” So says Erica Snipes, a daughter of Eric Garner, the 400-pound Staten Island, New York, man who died after resisting arrest on July 17, 2014.

The accusation was made during a conversation secretly recorded (video below) by an investigator for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s group Project Veritas (PV). Posing as a Garner supporter at a protest last month, the investigator had the following exchange with Snipes…

Giuliani and Communist Obama? Unclothed Emperors and Unfashionable Truths

By Selwyn Duke

In the tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” a vain emperor is swindled by two men who claim they can make him a special suit of garments invisible to the stupid or incompetent. When he later parades around naked in public, no one wants to state the obvious for fear of appearing the only “stupid” person who can’t see what the “competent” presumably do. That is, until a little child cries out, “But he doesn't have anything on!”

Ex-NYC mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s statement that Barack Obama was influenced by communists in his youth and doesn’t love his country isn’t nearly as fascinating as the reaction to it.

Usually when a person is labeled a “communist” or a “fascist,” it’s a pejorative applied to someone who, whether or not actually fitting the description, doesn’t apply the label to himself.

This wasn’t the case with Frank Marshall Davis.

The late journalist and activist was one of those rare things:

How to Win the Christian Baker/Same-Sex “Wedding” Cake Debate

By Selwyn Duke

A homosexual couple goes into a known Christian bakery and asks for a wedding cake for a same-sex “marriage,” is refused and then files a government complaint or sues. “Intolerance! Bigotry! Equal access!” is the cry. Many Americans have read of such stories in the news. Often the attempted purchase is a set-up, with activist-minded individuals targeting bakers whom they know will decline the request and then be vulnerable to state persecution by zealous bureaucrats.

It’s a new front in the war on faith, legitimate freedom and private property rights. Many point out that it constitutes an unprecedented trampling of religious liberty, and this is true. It also violates the principle of freedom of association, which isn’t explicitly mentioned in the Constitution but should be upheld. But neither of these arguments should be the centerpiece of the fight against the tyranny in question. There is another, far more powerful argument:

Freedom of speech.

Usually missed in the commentary on this subject is that the bakers in question are not refusing service to a type of people — they are refusing to be party to a type of message. This is not debatable. When you put writing on a same-sex “wedding” cake, you’re crafting a message; if you place figurines (of two men, for instance) on that cake, you’re erecting symbols relating that message. Note here that the Supreme Court has already ruled that “Symbolic Speech” — a legal term in U.S. law — is protected under the First Amendment; examples of such rulings would be that pertaining to flag-burning and the Tinker v. Des Moines case.

Obama’s History ?01: “Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding”

By Selwyn Duke

You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.”

While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during a conference on “countering violent extremism” last week, Obama said that we need to “stay true to the values that define us” and “show that we welcome people of all faiths.” The president then made the following claim:

Here in America, Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding. Generations of Muslim immigrants came here and went to work as farmers and merchants and factory workers, helped to lay railroads and build up America. The first Islamic center in New York City was founded in the 1890s. America’s first mosque [founded in 1929] — this was an interesting fact — was in North Dakota.

Of course, both these events occurred long after our country’s founding; in fact, 1890 was the year of the 11^th U.S. census, which led to official recognition that there was no longer even a Western frontier in the nation. And there were no sheikhs or mullahs at the Constitutional Convention more than a century before.

Harfing Heartily: Obama’s and the Left’s Everyone Is the Same Doctrine

By Selwyn Duke

It doesn’t require stupid people for the utterance of stupid things — just smart people embracing stupid ideology.

In the wake of advocating a counter-terrorism plan mercilessly mocked by critics as a jobs-for-jihadists program, State Department spokesman Marie Harf has provided more comedic-commentary gold. Downplaying the threat posed by Islamic jihad while a guest on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, she said we faced “a lot of different extremist threats.” And she finally had an answer for critics wondering where the supposed Christian terrorists are:

Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army.

“Who’s that?” you ask?

You’re not alone. Harf said on Wednesday, “I don't remember people talking about that as much anymore.” And there’s good reason for this. The group is “almost defunct,” as American Thinker’s Rick Moran put it, and Kony himself is said to be extremely ill.

And how Christian is Kony, anyway?
