CHICAGO DEMOCRATS CALL VOTER CORRUPTION A "CALIBRATION ERROR" Posted: 22 Oct 2014 07:37 PM PDT Each step away from verifiable paper ballots – no matter how clumsy, costly, or time-consuming to count, is just another opportunity for evildoers to subvert the electoral process …  Cook County ballot box tries to cast GOP votes for Democrats Early Voting in Illinois got off to its typical start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats. Cook County Clerk’s Office Deputy Communications Director Jim Scalzitti, told Illinois Watchdog, the machine was taken out of service and tested. “This was a calibration error of the touch-screen on the machine,” Scalzitti said. “When Mr. Moynihan used the touch-screen, it improperly assigned his votes due to improper calibration.” Click for more from Watchdog.org Has anyone ever noticed that voting errors in Illinois’ Cook County always seem to favor democrats? Bottom line … Although Attorney General Eric Holder would like to assure the nation that voter fraud is not a significant issue, the mere fact that our electorate is so evenly divided that even an error can change the outcome of an election is troubling. We must start looking into the potential for massive voter fraud in 2016 as illegal aliens and hyperpartisan voters attempt to sway another election. And, what one cannot win at the ballot box, there is a cadre of partisan lawyers to keep challenging votes! The only sure thing in American politics today is a clear majority that overcomes the margin of error gap by at least ten percent where the vote can no longer be challenged – or votes mysteriously appearing to swing an election.

FERGUSON: MICHAEL BROWN AUTOPSY RESULTS IRRELEVANT TO CLAIM OF RACISM? Posted: 22 Oct 2014 03:04 PM PDT The facts be damned … Once again the progressive socialist democrats, communist agitators, and race-baiters and race-hustlers are confronted with factual evidence that police officer Darren Wilson struggled with a 6’4” – 292-pound belligerent Michael Brown who was apparently wrestling with the officer and was shot in the process. According to published reports, Brown’s blood was found on the gun and inside of the car where the struggle for the officer’s gun took place. Media reports continue to characterize Brown as being unarmed – even though his size and demeanor on that fateful day could mean that his body could be considered as much a lethal weapon as a trained martial artist. Additionally, the struggle for the officer’s gun could signify an intent for Brown to arm himself and do great bodily harm or even kill the officer Wilson. But the facts do not seem to matter to the crowd of agitators who have invested a great deal of time, effort, and money in staging a self-serving racial incident. They will concede that the evidence appears to show that Brown was attacking the officer in the car … but, then they attempt to nullify the evidence by asking why the officer followed a retreating Brown out of the car and then shot him as he was attempting to surrender. The fact that all shots that struck Brown were fired from the front and indicating that Brown was not retreating seem irrelevant to their argument. The fact that the shot placement indicated that Brown did not have his hands in the air, palms forward – the classic surrender position – doesn’t seem to matter. There are some that demand that the officer be tried in a court for all of the information to come out … disregarding the officer’s right to due process that would allow that evidence demonstrates that there is no probable cause for a trial. How the media is playing the story … New Information Released on Michael Brown Case  A report by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch this morning shows the official autopsy supports Ferguson officer Darren Wilson’s claim that Michael Brown struggled with him in his patrol vehicle, and that Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot Aug. 9. St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham says the report supports claims that there was a “significant struggle” in Wilson’s patrol car, and Brown suffered a hand wound at “relatively short range.” A forensic pathologist from San Francisco, Dr. Judy Melinek, says based on a bullet wound to Brown’s arm, Brown’s palms could not have been facing Wilson in the standard surrender position – with hands up and palms out – when he was shot, and Brown was falling forward or lunging when he was hit by the fatal shot to the top of his head. Based on toxicology tests, Ohio State University College of Pharmacy consultant Alfred Staubus concludes Brown had used marijuana within a few hours of his death, but it is not clear if he was impaired at the time. The Post-Dispatch says Brown’s family attorney calls Wilson’s account “absurd from beginning to end.” New Information Released on Michael Brown Case « CBS St. Louis Note the apparent continuing efforts of the Brown’s Family attorney to keep the case alive and boiling, perhaps in the hopes of a multi-million dollar “nuisance” settlement or simply to keep pumping up the attorney’s media presence and seeding the nation for more high profile cases? Who is going to compensate the police officer? Even if the police officer is exonerated of charges relating to the use of “excessive force” in the death of the strong-arm thug Michael Brown, who is going to repair the damage to the officer’s life and career. Who is going to remove the target on his back from some gangsta’ wannabe that wants to make a name for themselves. Like George Zimmerman who shot the thuggish Trayvon Martin, the progressive mainstream media and race hustlers like Al Sharpton have turned a decent man into an object of scorn, ridicule, and have created permanent safety concerns for the officer and his family. Lest we forget, it was Al Sharpton and the progressive media that went after a decent, Neighborhood Watch captain performing a community service all because they believed that Zimmerman was “White” and this was another black teenager dying at the hands of the “white” devil. Sharpton who has a demonstrable record of race-baiting and community agitating has never been held fully accountable for his actions – mainly because the progressive socialist democrats regard him as their “go to” guy when it comes to rallying their black base of “victims.” Bottom line … No matter what the evidence that has been leaked or presented, the progressive socialist democrats, communists, agitators, and race-hustlers need a Ferguson race riot – justice be damned – to mobilize the black voter base for the midterm elections that pose an existential threat to democrats who would desperately like to keep their Senate majority. No matter how innocent the police officer, nor how guilty the perpetrator – political forces have taken over and will pursue this issue for their own self-serving purposes. -- steve Related articles Ferguson -- Michael Brown: Why Is the New York Times Revealing Fbi Forensics That Appear to Clear Officer Darren Wilson?

DISGUSTING NEW YORK PROGRESSIVE SWELLS SEE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND MORAL EQUIVALENCY IN JIHAD Posted: 21 Oct 2014 06:55 PM PDT The problem with pseudo-intellectual swells, especially if they are progressive socialist democrats, is that they believe that they can show their empty-headed peers how “enlightened” and “refined” they are by accepting what is evil – may just be someone else’s cultural struggle for existence. How anyone can excuse the Muslim terrorists who shot the 69-year-old, wheelchair-bound Leon Klinghoffer and dumped him into the sea as being morally justified or acceptable is abhorrent to anyone who knows the difference between good and evil. Leon Klinghoffer (September 24, 1916 – October 8, 1985) was a disabled American appliance manufacturer who was killed by Palestine Liberation Front militants who hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985. In 1985, Klinghoffer, then 69, retired and in a wheelchair, was on a cruise on the Achille Lauro along with his wife Marilyn to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary.  On October 7, 1985, four hijackers from the Palestine Liberation Front took control of the liner off Egypt as it was sailing from Alexandria to Port Said, Egypt. Holding the passengers and crew hostage, they ordered the captain to sail to Tartus, Syria, and demanded the release of 50 Palestinians then in Israeli prisons, including the Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar. The next day, after being refused permission by the Syrian government to dock at Tartus, the hijackers singled out Klinghoffer, a Jew, for murder, shooting him in the forehead and chest as he sat in his wheelchair. They then forced the ship's barber and a waiter to throw his body and wheelchair overboard.  Marilyn Klinghoffer, who did not witness the shooting, was told by the hijackers that he had been moved to the infirmary. She only learned the truth after the hijackers left the ship at Port Said. PLO Foreign Secretary Farouq Qaddumi said that perhaps the terminally ill Marilyn Klinghoffer had killed her husband for insurance money. However, the PLO later accepted full responsibility for murdering Mr. Klinghoffer. <Source> The Metropolitan Opera’s rendition of the “Death of Klinghoffer” is an outrage … To use any artistic medium to suggest that the terrorists were somehow justified in hijacking a cruise ship and killing an innocent elderly man celebrating his 36th wedding anniversary should be roundly condemned by all people, but especially the New York Jewish community who supports the Metropolitan Opera and other cultural events. In my opinion, this is little more than institutional anti-Semitism and pro-Palestinian propaganda. The Death of Klinghoffer is an American opera, with music by John Adams to an English-language libretto by Alice Goodman. First produced in Brussels and New York in 1991, the opera is based on the hijacking of the passenger liner Achille Lauro by the Palestine Liberation Front in 1985, and the hijackers' murder of wheelchair-bound 69-year-old Jewish-American passenger Leon Klinghoffer. The concept of the opera originated with theatre director Peter Sellars, who was a major collaborator, as was choreographer Mark Morris. It was commissioned by five American and European opera companies, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The opera has drawn controversy, including allegations by some (including Klinghoffer's two daughters) that the opera is anti-Semitic and glorifies terrorism. <Source> The hard, cold truth … The so-called Palestinians rejected the first offer of lands equal to that of Israel at the time the Transjordan region was being partitioned. Indigenous Arabs believed that the new nation of Israel would be overrun by their Arab neighbors and driven from the land. In preparation for this attack, many left the area – in a form of self-exile – and forfeited their right of return to the land that they abandoned. Of course, since those times, the Palestinians have rejected almost every opportunity to create their own state – primarily because they have no economy or major infrastructure that would allow them to become self-sufficient and successful if international contributions cease. Their leadership engages in terror as a proxy for those nation-states with geo-political battles in the region and as a safe proxy for those individuals, corporations, and nations who want to engage in anti-Jewish behavior. No nation wants to associate with Palestinians as they know only terror and kleptomania. There can be no moral equivalency between good and evil, right and wrong. And, for the self-congratulating eggheads who believe that art should reflect life’s struggles in a non-judgmental manner, perhaps they will change their mind when their lives are summarily threatened because of their beliefs. Can I be wrong?  I don’t think so … 'Death Of Klinghoffer' Rationalizes Jihadi Murder Only the insane political correctness of the left could try in an opera in the city attacked on 9/11 to humanize and justify the murder by Palestinian terrorists of 69-year-old, wheelchair-bound Leon Klinghoffer. We don't do opera reviews, but the opening of the Metropolitan Opera of New York's production of the "Death of Klinghoffer" is as much a political event as it is an artistic one. In a particularly grotesque way, it tries to create a moral equivalence between a group of terrorists and their victim by explaining the "reasons" for their criminal and terrorist act. We also see it in the larger context of an ongoing campaign on the left to portray Israel and its ally, the U.S., as the root of all problems in the Middle East. If only Israel hadn't occupied Arab lands and stubbornly defended its existence, there would be no terrorism. If America hadn't supported Israel, there would be no terror. The meme that somehow terrorism is all the fault of Israel and America was carried on in the ranting sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's pastor for some two decades, who preached that 9/11 was one of America's chickens coming home to roost. If we hadn't responded with a war on terror that carried the fight to terrorists and their state sponsors in Iraq and Afghanistan, the story goes, the hornet's nest would have remained unstirred and there would be no Islamic State beheading Westerners. This of course is nonsense. The plight of the Palestinians is in many ways a self-inflicted wound when you consider the leaders they have chosen. The murderers of Leon Klinghoffer had no more historical justification for their actions than did the murderers of Daniel Pearl or the Islamic State butchers who decapitated Steven Sotloff and James Foley.

That the Obama Administration represents a clear and present danger to America, Americans, and democracies throughout the world is undeniable. There is no moral justification for any Islamic group that believes it is their duty to kill apostates and unbelievers – people who refuse to accept their version of Islam or feel that have the human right to practice an alternative religion. If the Sunni Muslims were not so preoccupied with ethnically cleansing the religion by killing Shia apostates and Jews, they would be turning their efforts on the civilized nations that do not embrace Islam – but allow for the religious accommodation of Islam as a gesture of human rights and religious freedoms. One look at Obama’s token attacks on ISIS to know he is not serious about stopping the ethnic cleansing of the Sunni Muslims as they grow larger and stronger each day. As for any justification of Leon Klinghoffer’s death – there can be done. -- Steve
