Welcoming Enemies

As reported by The Blaze, On Friday, March 8, Secretary John Kerry along with first lady Michelle Obama will, according to an official State Department press release, will “honor 10 extraordinary women with the Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award.” The only problem is that one of those women, Samira Ibrahim, is an unabashed anti-Semite who called the murder of innocent Israelis in a suicide-attack “very sweet news” and said that each 9/11 anniversary should be marked by “America burning.”

No doubt disappointed to having been discovered, the State Department postponed giving the award to Ms. Ibrahim.  Not cancelled mind you, but postponed.

Call me crazy, but I might think the Department of Home Security, rather than having the American citizens under surveillance, might be keeping a keen eye on folks like this, who publicly wish America harm.  Certainly, and logic would seem to dictate she is not worthy of consideration for such an award, unless your are the left wing lunatics over at Time Magazine.

Not under the Obama administration.

Individuals and organizations who sympathize with, advocate for and affiliate with the Muslim Brotherhood and against Israel are held in high regard.

So you remain of the opinion that our government, and media, are not in full scale embrace and promotion of the Muslim faith?

Get a load of the outreach f propaganda advocating for acceptance of these types of folks.  Erin Burnett, no doubt a liberal thinking individual who we recall from her days hosting Morning Call with the dearly departed Mark Haines on CNBC, hit former first lady Laura Bush with an eye popping question. Take a listen.



Come again?  Thankfully, Ms. Bush gave her a dirty look in delivering a flat NO answer.

Erin Burnett is not alone, as she joins slews of lap dog journalists who seek to promote the acceptance of those with anti American voices who dream of taking us down a notch.  Support for this line of thinking goes all the way to the upstairs basketball court at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

For us real folks out Rush Limbaugh's Realville, we recognize our enemies, foreign and domestic, and there are plenty of them.  We saw the Muslim Brotherhood take over in Egypt coming a mile away.  In fact, we recognize that Michele Bachmann, not withstanding getting scolded by Sen. John McCain, (R:AZ), was and is correct to question the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in our government.

The right for anti American activists to express their opinions we recognize, but unlike many running the country presently, we do not support Ms. Ibrahim, the Muslim Brotherhood and/or Islamic terrorists.

We support the free and the brave, America the beautiful!

BAHL Behind Bocephus

The media in general is so out of control it would be comical if so much was not at stake. So in the tank for Obama and his destructive policies, for those intellectually on the sidelines the blur into real life is hard to distinguish, even over at ESPN. For sure, ESPN joins most if not all of the major media outlets in complete hypocrisy.

Hank Williams, Jr, a frequent guest on FOX News Fox & Friends, was on again last week and had some fiery commentary. Take a listen:


Bocephus, always one to speak his mind, due to an ill conceived analogy, has been booted from ESPN's Monday Night Football introduction (filmed here locally), where he has excelled for 20 seasons. Recently, ESPN golf analyst and former champion Paul Azinger was recently scolded by ESPN brass for accurately commenting on Obama's work ethic. ESPN does not tolerate harsh commentary toward political figures; unless they are named Palin.


So much for freedom of speech. Certainly, corporations have every right to employ whomever they want, but it is appropriate to point out the astounding hypocrisy where applicable.

I watch FOX & Friends most days. Gretchen Carlson is great, and Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy are adequate when they are serious. Both are closet comedians, and neither is remotely good.

Over on ESPN, without question, I have recently appreciated some fine work on some of the 30 for 30 documentaries and love the college football coverage, even taking in ESPN College Gameday, sponsored by The Home Depot, live just a few weeks ago. However, I gave up on most of ESPN moons ago, as I was turned off by many things inclusive of former anchor Robin Roberts "get on with your bad self", although a mutual friend says she is a very nice person. Michelle Obama is even getting favorable publicity Laura Bush never dreamed of, both on Disney Channel and ESPN.

Hank is royal pissed at them all, with good reason I think. Sugar coating the thugocracy otherwise known as the Obama administration is no longer possible, for Uncle Sam is on the brink, as we note frequently here on the blog. It is time to pick sides, and stand in the line of fire with those who stand with freedom and the free market principles this country was founded on. Freedom is not free, as Bocephus is finding out.

Bocephus has released a new tune in response to the ordeal, and he and his rowdy friends blast all involved.



Don't tread on us! As Hank says, us Country Folks Can Survive!
