Napolitano Doesn’t See Good Logic In Profiling Muslim Men Under 35

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Alan Cosgrove

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was at a forum to discuss security and the terrorist situation. She was asked about profiling Muslim men since they have been behind most of the terrorist attacks and she responded that the question made no logical sense. Napolitano responded, “You’re not using good logic there. You’ve got to use actual intelligence that you received. And, so, you might — all you’ve given me is a kind of status. You have not given me a technique for tactic or behavior. Something that would suggest somebody is not Muslim, but Islamic, that has actually moved into the category of violent extremists.” Then she added, “We have ways to make some of those cuts. And they involve the intel that comes in, the analysis that goes on. For example, we often times, for travelers entering the United States, we won’t not do what is called a secondary inspection just because they are a 35-year- old male who appears to be Muslim, whatever that means. But we know from intelligence that if they have a certain travel pattern over a certain period of time, that should cause us to ask some more significant questions than if we don’t.”

Sarah Palin PAC Ad

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Alan Cosgrove

This is an ad from the new Sarah Palin PAC, SarahPAC, called ‘American Foundations.’ From Sarah Palin;

Our family has been blessed with an opportunity to showcase all that is good and strong and free about our exceptional nation.
Even though the media too often sadly chose sound-bites over substance, they did get lots of substance during our “One Nation” tour from the nearly two dozen opportunities I got to speak candidly with them and talk about policy, politics, history, and everything in between. More importantly, I got to talk with countless everyday Americans who want to get our country back on the right track.
It’s been an extraordinary honor to meet so many fellow patriots who care deeply about this country, who want a brighter future for all of us, and who recognize the undeviating line that connects our history to our future.
Not surprising, some members of the media missed a lot of this due to their relentless and futile search for scuttlebutt. So, we assembled this video to capture the amazing Americana spirit of the places and people we visited. I invite you to enjoy this recap of last week’s east coast bus tour.
Please remember we must learn about our past – our great successes, our bitter struggles, our enduring strength – in order to navigate through the challenges ahead so that we might remain a shining city on a hill and the abiding beacon of freedom.
As we look to our Charters of Liberty and our strong foundation to fundamentally restore America, we’ll keep moving forward… and we’ll keep reporting on it ourselves.

Alex Jones Reports On The Bilderberg Meetings

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Alan Cosgrove

Alex Jones of InfoWars.com is reporting on the Bilderberg meetings being held this week in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Jones is calling for protest on June 11, 2011 at high noon at the resort hosting the event. According to Jones, “As the 2011 Bilderberg meeting kicks off in St. Moritz Switzerland, syndicated radio host Alex Jones is calling on all activists worldwide to descend on the site of the secretive confab and stage a massive protest against the criminal elite that have wrecked the global economy, plunged the United States into another unaffordable war in Libya and are now scheming to start yet another war and hike oil prices to levels where Americans will be paying $7 dollars a gallon for gas.
As the Bilderberg group operates behind closed doors and under Chatham House rules, it attracts very little mainstream media attention, despite the fact that hundreds of the worlds most important CEOs, banking elites, politicians and influential media figures annually attend to discuss policy.” In the past USA politicians Barack Obama and John Edwards were guest at a Bilderberg meeting. On his website, Jones indicates that the Bilderberg group would like “to take down national sovereignty, impose drastic austerity measures, hold fire sales on national assets, consolidate wealth and power, and use an endless economic crisis as an excuse to usher in world government, a one-world currency, and a sprawling high-tech police state.” Even though the Bilderberg group is a secretive bunch, they have a website and a list of previous participants.

Keith Olbermann Steals Fantasy Game To Promote Countdown

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Alan Cosgrove

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has moved from his cable show to Al Gore’s internet TV site Current TV, and will start a new season of Countdown on June 20th. On the web site he asks, “Who’s Ready to Play “Fantasy Politics”?” At first glance I assumed he was referring to his radically left leaning commentaries. But below his video screen he adds, “Keith invents the ultimate political game: Fantasy Politics. It’s not about how you play; it’s about winning and losing.” But with a simple google search of fantasy politics, Olbermann could have seen that a fantasy politics game was already invented in 2007 during that election campaign. Fantasy Politics USA started a game during the run up to the 2008 presidential campaign called Fantasy Politics USA. You could pick 5 candidates from a huge list of potential and fantasy candidates for the 2008 presidency. Points were awarded when the candidates appeared on the talk shows or when they had shifts in the polls. Points were also deducted for doing stupid stuff. At our peak we had over 3000 people playing Fantasy Politics USA from all over the world. We had people from academia and journalism participating in our game, and they could even contribute ideas to award or deduct points. Fantasy Politics USA is a two person wrecking crew, and the thought of bringing our game back out for 2012 has been a daunting task. Because of the weak economy forcing both of us to focus more on earning an income we have held out on introducing the 2012 edition. We had just gotten Presidential Idol going and discovered that Olbermann had “invented” our old game. Strangely enough you start with “5 politicians” and you get points when your candidate moves up and down in polls. Sound familiar? You can also get “two points for each network television news program.” See a pattern here? The only difference so far in the 2 games is Olbermann still hates Fox News so much, that it’s “Minus one point for every guest hit on Fox News,” and he minuses points for hosting a Fox News show. Then he takes another jab at Fox by adding, “Plus a thousand points for every tough question asked by Fox News.” Olbermann is the keeper of all tough questions. Is this a game, or some kind of political commentary on how much Kieth Olbermann hates Fox News? I’m surprised since it was MSNBC that fired him.
