There can be honest differences of opinion on many subjects. But there can also be dishonest differences. Last week’s testimony under oath about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 makes painfully clear that what the Obama administration told the American people about those events were lies out of whole cloth.

What we were told repeatedly last year by the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and the American ambassador to the U.N., was that there was a protest demonstration in Benghazi against an anti-Islamic video produced by an American, and that this protest demonstration simply escalated out of control.

This “spontaneous protest” story did not originate in Libya but in Washington. Neither the Americans on duty in Libya during the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, nor officials of the Libyan government, said anything about a protest demonstration.

On Sunday’s episode of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” New York Republican Rep. Peter King and Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison sparred over whether or not it would be justified to surveil the Muslim community for potential acts of terrorism in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing.

King pointed to efforts by the New York Police Department where they have successfully thwarted terrorist attacks.

“The NYPD is doing it in New York with 1,000 police officers focusing on this issue, knowing where the threat is coming from,” King said. “Now, most Muslims are outstanding people, but the threat is coming from the Muslim community. Just yesterday [New York Times columnist] Tom Friedman, who is certainly no conservative, said, ‘We must ask the question only Muslims can answer: What is going on in your community that a critical number of your youth believes every military action in the Middle East justifies a violent response?’”

“It’s coming from the community,” King continued, “and in previous times when certain elements in the community are the ones responsible for crime, the police focused on it. For instance in Boston, the FBI never spoke to the Boston police about the older brother. And afterwards there was no intelligence files in Boston on these types of people, these people inclined to terrorism. The FBI never even got to examining him.”

Badge - Joke of the Day

Posted by dtwentytwenty (#11) 1 day 9 hours ago (Editorial)
A DEA officer stopped at our farm yesterday "I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs."
I said "Okay, but don't go in that field over there."

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, "Missy, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and shoved it in my face. "See this fucking badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land !! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear?.... do you understand?!!"

I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my chores. A short time later, I heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by my big old mean bull.... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

I threw down my tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of my lungs

"Your badge, show him your fucking BADGE!!"

A Northwestern University student was rejected for a “diversity and inclusion post” in student government because he is a white, heterosexual male, resulting in a sharp rebuke from the university’s student newspaper.

Northwestern University’s Associated Student Government rejected the nomination of Stephen Piotrkowski for associate vice president of diversity and inclusion last week. The student-run committee “oversees diversity initiatives that stem from the undergraduate student body.”

Piotrkowski’s nomination sparked a heated discussion during an ASG meeting – described by a student reporter as “contentious.”

“This university is not ready, in any capacity, for a heterosexual white male to be in charge in any way of diversity and inclusion,” said Ian Coley, a member of the diversity committee. “I don’t know if any university is.”

ASG president Ani Ajith refused to answer questions about the matter. When asked by Fox News if he agreed with Coley’s remarks, Ajith hung up his phone.

“Piotrkowski was rejected on the basis that he is a white, heterosexual male,” the Daily Northwestern editorial board charged in a staff editorial.

A spokesman for Northwestern University told Fox News the ASG is a student organization and as such “it would not be appropriate for the university’s communication office to speak on their behalf.”

The outgoing vice president for diversity and inclusion had endorsed Piotrkowsi as the best candidate for the job – noting that he identifies with a religious minority and has a sister who is gay.

And Campus Reform reported that he had previously served as a member of the Northwestern Inclusion Task Force – created last year to help advocate for campus diversity.

“The fact that senators did not take Piotrkowski’s relevant experiences into consideration and rejected him on the basis of race, gender and sexual orientation symbolizes a step backward for our community in diversity conversations,” the newspaper noted.

America needs to take a new road, one toward an expansion future that is bigger and better than our past. That's why I'm proposing today, and will be talking about throughout my campaign, a liberation movement to take power away from Washington and put it in the hands of the people. A "Boston Tea Party," if you will, that puts an end to the taxing and spending party in Washington, DC. I mean to free the mighty American economy from political repression.

What can we do to be more secure in who we are so we can be comfortable around Christians and understand them?

Shalom,
V

Dear V:

I am with you. I wish Jews were more secure with (and knowledgeable about) Judaism. That is the antidote to proselytizing -- more about that in a moment.

Before that though, I'd like to address your other two points which really are two different issues. Your question about the city putting a Christian symbol of a fish in their flag or emblem is not a matter of Jewish paranoia. Members of other religions fight this sort of thing too because it is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Unlike Israel -- "the Jewish State" where Judaism is the official religion -- America is built on the concept of the separation of church and state. No religious symbol is appropriate on any government institution, place or symbol, as the Supreme Court has affirmed.

As to your other point about Jews singling out Evangelical Christians, I don't think this is true. Jewish community leadership in my view, is opposed to any religion, including the ones you cite, when they attempt to convert Jews. There are two main reasons. There is a theological argument that Judaism brings something unique to the world. There is also a practical argument: we are not a billion strong! With just a few million of us we cannot afford to lose Jews.

Now, if you are referring to just learning and being influenced from other religions, that is another matter, that I endorse, regardless of the religion. Your Shabbat dinner is good example. I too enjoy this kind of interaction with Christians (and others) and recognize that not all Christians want to convert me.

However, there are many Christians who have a goal of actively seeking converts. One of the main objectives of these Christians is to bring the Gospels of Jesus to the world. If you'll pardon the term, in their theology, this is a great "mitzvah." They believe they are saving the world and the souls of those

When it comes to selecting a commencement speaker, the nation’s top 100 universities lean decidedly left, according to a new survey by the Young America’s Foundation.

Of the top 100 universities listed by U.S. News and World Report, 62 have selected liberal commencement speakers and only 17 selected conservatives. The YAF said the political affiliations of the remaining speakers was unclear.

“It goes to show you how administrators are unwilling to reach out and provide an alternative viewpoint,” YAF’s Adam Tragone told Fox News. “There’s a plethora – a deluge of liberals compared to conservatives on this year’s list.”

The YAF’s 20th annual Commencement Speakers Survey shows a who’s-who of liberals invited to impart words of wisdom to college graduates – from Oprah Winfrey at Harvard University to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at the University of California – Davis.

Speakers at the top 10 schools include:

Harvard University – Oprah Winfrey
Princeton University – Ben Bernanke
Yale University – Cory Booker
Columbia University – Lee C. Bollinger
University of Chicago – Abbie J. Smith
MIT – Drew Houston
Stanford University – Michael Bloomberg
Duke University – Melinda Gates

To many, Memorial Day means the unofficial start to summer, a three-day weekend for grilling and a chance to break out white clothes that have been in the attic all winter. But the holiday is more than just beaches and barbecue. It’s a time to pay tribute to those who have died in military service to our country. Originally created after the Civil War to honor the fallen Union soldiers, Memorial Day has now evolved to commemorate every American soldier and service member. Here are the top 10 destinations to celebrate and honor America’s heroes.

Computer viruses are on the rise worldwide for the first time in years, according to Microsoft security expert Tim Rains.

Viruses had become less popular among computer attackers in the past several years, Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report says. The term "virus," while commonly used to mean any kind of malicious software, is actually a very specific type of invasive program that, like a biological virus, infects a computer's existing programs and spreads along with those programs.

'For several years viruses…seemed to be out of favor with attackers.' - Microsoft security expert Tim Rains

Viruses often take more lines of code than other types of threats such as Trojans and password stealers, and are also much easier to trace and eliminate with the right software.

Twitter’s long been one of the favourite sources of information for researchers studying people’s trends and perceptions, and for good reason – with millions of users spread across the world sending out billions of tweets every single day, there are few more easily accessible sources of data that represent the voice of just about every demographic there is. Including, shall we say, some of the more unsavory demographics.

To demonstrate this fact, a group of researchers from the Floating Sheep project, which shot to fame for mapping out racist tweets during President Obama’s re-election campaign, has come up with an interactive map of geo-tagged homophobic and racist tweets in the US.

The project, appropriately called the “Geography of Hate”, was carried out by a group of students at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif. A hugely painstaking task, it involved looking at all of the geotagged tweets originating from the US between June 2012 and April 2013, with the students manually reading each message containing a homophobic or racist term to determine if it had been used in a positive, negative or neutral context. The students felt this necessary, because terms like “dyke” often have positive implications, for example the phrase “dykes on bikes”.

Ultimately, the researchers found that more than 150,000 geotagged tweets sent over the duration contained hateful slurs used in a negative way. Most of our hatred was directed at gays and lesbians, with 95,123 tweets containing words like “homo”. Racism was all too common as well, with 41,306 tweets containing the word “nigger” in a negative context.
