If you adhere to a belief in that fundamental human right, that most basic civil right of survival for themselves, for their families and loved ones, for their neighbors and friends, please watch the following 5-minute, Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/v/za_8TOQFA8o.

   Various Mexican drug cartels have already viciously murdered tens of thousands of their own people (48,000 since 2006) in mostly-unreported shootings, hangings, strangulations, and dismemberments.  They’re ”mostly-unreported” by Mexican authorities due to their self-serving interests of preserving the fantasy that Mexico is a fun, safe place for tourists to visit and spend their money whereas our southern neighbor is actually a cesspool of rampant violence and mayhem. 

That violence and mayhem have been visited on America in the form of the murder of border patrol agent Brian Terry–thanks to guns provided by Eric Holder’s ATF and its Fast and Furious debacle–and dozens of other Americans assaulted and killed in their homes and on their ranches in Arizona, New Mexico, and southern California.

Another self-serving myth is being perpetuated, (perpetrated, might be more apt), by America’s President Barack Hussein Obama who contends that Mexico is a close and faithful friend and ally of the United States.

A few weeks back on one of his many apology tours, Obama visited Mexico where he begged forgiveness for furnishing the weapons enabling cartel thugs to slaughter their fellow Mexicans!  In fact, though many of their guns may have originated in America, much of that weaponry was purchased from all over the globe, as verified by a number of cartel members seen on the abovementioned video. 

Furthermore, there is no concrete evidence that our Mexicano “friend” is either capable or much interested in destroying the drug cartels or preventing illegals from crossing the border  to  wreak havoc in our southwest.   Is that how one amigo treats another amigo?   

  One last, closely-related myth/fantasy: Many Mexicans and a large proportion of legal and illegal Mexicans currently living in the United States are committed to the outrageous idea that huge sections of our country were stolen from them.  The subversive National Council of La Raza, (the NCLR), the Movemiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, MEChA, has clearly stated its intent on “re-claiming” the entirety of the mythical Aztlan which encompasess all of Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon plus parts of Washington, vast territories signed over to the United States by Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848.  

Should our admittedly “internationalist” president get his way, he may very well attempt to surrender those states to Mexico as a magnanimously apologetic gesture.

Absurd?  Is that thought any more ridiculous than Obama’s administration facilitating the murder of four Americans in Benghazi or the IRS acting as servants in the employ of the Obama election campaign or seizing telephone records of Associated Press reporters or wiretapping telephones in the House of Representative’s Cloak Room as claimed by California congressman Devin Nunes? 

Okay, granted that ceding vast, national territories to a foreign power short of the consequences of war would be even more egregious but in view of Obama’s long-term plan to bankrupt and reduce our country to the status of a Third World nation, would you put it past him?  

Do take a look at https://www.youtube.com/v/za_8TOQFA8o.   The video won’t answer all your questions as to America’s future or relieve any angst as to how we will survive the next 44 months with this president but will provide insights on the possibilities and enlightenment on what’s really going on in and with Mexico.  

There’s little reason to expect any sequels.

  Over the past few decades, dating back before the Clinton administration, there have been an increasing number of disturbing incidents involving FBI ineptness, corruption, and malfeasance, incidents which rarely if ever occurred while the agency was under the tight control of its founder, J. Edgar Hoover who ran the FBI for 37 years.  Soon after Hoover’s death, and coincidental with efforts by liberal-leftists to defame both his life and work, the deterioration of Hoover’s beloved agency began. 

Lately. the decay has blossomed into what could be a state of irremediable degradation. 

–Remember Ruby Ridge (August 22, 1992)?  That was when FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot and wounded Randy Weaver and murdered his wife Vicki as she held their 10-month-old baby then taunted the Weaver family.

–Remember Waco (April 19, 1993)?  That was when Clinton’s A.G. Janet Reno ordered a raid on nutty David Koresh’s Branch Davidian compound because children were in danger and ended up killing 76 men, women, and ALL the kids in the compound.

–Remember Richard Jewell (July 27, 1996)?   He was the guy the FBI was cocksure planted a bomb that killed one person and injured 111 at the Atlanta Olympics and was subsequently exonerated–by the FBI.  

–Remember Dr. Wen Ho Lee (1999)?  He was the US nuclear scientist who was threatened by the FBI and falsely accused of spying for China and we ended up paying him $895,000 for his troubles.   

–Remember Robert Hanssen (1979-2001)?  That trusted, veteran FBI agent spied for the USSR and the Russian Federation for more than 22 years before he was finally caught and sentenced to spend the rest of his sorry days at a federal supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.  

–Remember 9-11 2001?  That was the day the FBI hit an all-time low when it and other government agencies whose mission was to serve, defend, and protect our country all failed miserably when we were attacked by Islamic fanatics who killed almost 3000 people.

Except for 9-11, those unforgivable examples of dereliction of duty and outright stupidity may be dwarfed by more recent instances in which the FBI acted not to serve, defend, and protect but to subvert and undermine the Constitution.  

  Ever since the election of President Barack Hussein Obama and his pick of Eric Holder to run America’s Justice Department which governs the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI deterioration has developed into a virtual tsunami.  Under Obama and Holder, our most revered and trusted law enforcement agency  has devolved into a partisan, political tool of the Democrat Party. 

That devolution seemed to hit rockbottom with AG Holder’s obvious cover-up and stonewalling on the Fast and Furious gun-walking debacle which resulted in our providing weapons to Mexican drug cartels and the murder of United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry with one of those very guns.  It reached previously-unknown depths with recent revelations that the FBI was deeply involved in a number of abject intelligence failures: the deadly Benghazi fiasco, the Boston Marathon massacre, the IRS serving as members of Obama’s campaign team, and the almost-unprecedented infringement of the First Amendment by the seizure of Associated Press telephone records. 

A flunkie in Obama’s mainstream media’s damage control, MSNBC’s witless Alex Witt dismissed the FBI’s screw-up investigating the brothers Tsarnaev.  She and other mainstreamers are vainly trying to serve and protect Obama from the increasing possibility of impeachment because of the Benghazi, Boston, the IRS, and the AP scandals. 

Compounding those issues and if and when the allegation by California congressman Devin Nunes has made that the Justice Department wiretapped telephones in the House of Representative’s Cloak Room, that semi-sacrosanct area where congresspeople of all political parties privatelty interact, is substantiated, our president had better re-consider impeachment.  It sure beats the Capitol Police forcibly kicking him and his clan out of OUR house!

  J.Edgar musr be rolling in his grave not just because of lberal-leftist hateful abuse but because his agency has become as corrupt as the rest of the Obama administration. 

  As if further evidence were needed that no one in the Obama administration–from the president to Hillary Clinton to Susan Rice to any other high official–will pay the price for dismal failures, depraved indifference, and a stealthy cover-up of the September 11th, 2012 Islamic terrorist atrocity in Benghazi, Obamian supporters are closing ranks to insure the commander in chief and all the president’s men and women escape  just retribution. 

If nothing else, and there is little else to commend in this administration, they are very adept at using offense and the offensive as their best defense, tactics they demonstrated well in  Barack Hussein Obama’s two successful campaigns for the presidency. 

Then, his winning strategy involved calling out his formidable attack machines in his mainstream media and other liberal-leftist storm troopers to disparage and destroy the hapless Mitt Romney.  Now, comparable troops are being deployed to confuse the American public and distract us from ugly Benghazi truths that, in a sane America, should result in disgrace and impeachment, but today they won’t since Mr. Transparency knows those truths not only won’t set him free but will reveal him and his buddies as dangerous, incompetent frauds.   

For example, the State Department–Hillary Clinton’s bailiwick as of last September–continues to say that Benghazi “whistle blowers” would be allowed to blow their whistles on the administration while at the same time it is refusing to disclose their identities–for their safety and the safety of their families,  contends State’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Thomas Gibbons.   

According to Breitbart.com, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell told “reporters that the administration is allowing survivors of the attack and other Department employees to come forward and tell the truth about what happened.”  Yet, five State Department Diplomatic Security agents who were on the scene can’t even be contacted by Darrel Issa’s House Oversight Committee to ask them what they witnessed on that horrific night.

Can we all say in unison, “Cover-up”!  Can we all say “Gutless”! 

Obsequious Hillary and Susan Rice fans aren’t covering up anything concerning the administration’s grievous sins of commission and omission in Benghazi.  Rather, their ploy is to pile on accolades for Obama’s former Secretary of State who lied to Congress about what she knew and when she knew it and Obama’s current Ambassador to the United Nations who lied to the American people on five Sunday talk shows days after the Benghazi attacks. 

  For very explicable reasons, Hillary Clinton was presented with the “Warren Christopher Public Service Award” in honor of “the public service of others whose work reflects his distinctive leadership qualities” on the same day she and her former boss were being investigated for possible criminal acts related to Bengahzi.

  Three days ago, Ambassador Susan Rice was granted the ”2013 Louis E. Martin Great American Award” due to ”her work in advancing U.S. interests, strengthening the world’s common security and prosperity, and promoting respect for human rights.” 

Either the “Warren Christopher Public Service Award” and the “2013 Louis E. Martin Great American Award” are hoaxes perpetrated by TheOnion.com or they represent elements of the “Barack Obama Benghazi Charade Award.”  Either way, they and the MSM will probably get Obama and Company off the Benghazi hook, this time. 

Americans can only hope and pray that there will be a next time when, with a requisite miracle, we can send this lousy poseur and the lousy horses he and his fellow phonies rode in on  back to Chicago or to wherever they were spawned.       

  When two of the most liberal-leftist excuses for newspapers–both of which are desperate for advertising income, for any income to keep them afloat, reject ads, it’s news.  When the New York Times and the Washington Post turn down ad money from their wealthy partners in abortion crime, Planned Parenthood of America, that news becomes the equivalent of a man-bites-dog story.

Also, when those proposed and rejected advertisements by PPoA feature alleged “cartoons” for kids, illustrations including a young boy masturbating in his bed, a young girl inspecting her vagina with a mirror, a penis-shaped character instructing a vampish, young blonde on her “G-spot,” and a teenie-type girl dressed in a “clittle league” t-shirt exhibiting a drawing of a young girl’s nether parts, reasonable people must wonder whether the abortionists at Planned Parenthood have lost their collective minds. 

See the PPoA’s latest excursions into depravity and its unashamed, taxpayer-subsidized effort to drum up more abortion business here: http://tinyurl.com/csjrgaf. 

Those “cartoons” were hardly the first or only instance of PPoA’s excursions into obscenity and pornography, efforts allegedly designed to inform young people on sexual safety which more accurately serve as sex manuals.  Planned Parenthood also came under fire for its “Take Care Down There” music video singalong which includes references to a girl’s “bushy catcher’s mitt,” “panty hamster,” and “furry pink canoe” and to a boy’s “love log,” ”ankle spanker,” and “finger fiddler.”  (http://tinyurl.com/c9gexyb)  

The most pro-abortion president in American history–by far–Barack Hussein Obama recently spoke at a Planned Parenthood gathering.  After extolling the work of that perverse organization which is dedicated as much to destroying human life as Dr. Kermit Gosnell, concluded his remarks by saying, ”Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you. God Bless America.”  He followed that outrage by endorsing the sick proposal to permit girls as young as 15 to go to their local CVS and purchase the so-called Plan B without any parental consent. 

Advertised as a method to prevent the conception of a child, the chemicals in Plan B are actually formulated not to prevent pregnancy but terminate the life of an already-conceived baby. 

  As often noted here, Planned Parenthood has been repeatedly exposed as an unethical outfit which has frequently engaged in illegally terminating the pregnancies of fully viable pre-borns, of aborting underaged teens, and even giving advice to pimps on how to conceal the activities of their young harems. 

Yet our president wishes them God’s blessings? 

I wonder if Barack and Michelle would pay for Malia’s and Sasha’s Plan B’s? I wonder if they would encourage their daughters to sing along with “Take Care Down There”? I wonder if the elder Obamas would suggest Malia and Sasha check out PPoA’s cartoons depicting boys masturbating in their beds, girls inspecting their vaginas, penis-shaped characters instructing kids on their ”G-spots,” and a teenie-girl dressed in “clittle league” t-shirts showing their bottoms? 

Considering how greatly the Obamas admire the purveyors of that trash, I imagine they would tell their girls to go for it!     

  Conservative bloggers, politicians, and commentators have been all agog over the prospects of President Barack Hussein Obama being impeached and forced to leave office as a result of his administration’s and his probable personal involvement in the bloody debacle that occurred on September 11th, 2012 at the American consulate in the Libyan hellhole of Benghazi,

That shameful event which Obama’s press hack Jay Carney recently passed off as something that “happened a long time ago” (6 months) is very much on the public radar.  Carney then added the baldfaced falsehood that he and his cohorts were “unaware of any agency blocking an employee who would like to appear before Congress to provide information related to Benghazi.”

Much to my regret, and despite the fact three so-called whistle-blowers testified under oath on Wednesday as to what they knew about that long night of horror in Benghazi, testimony that incriminated Carney’s boss and then-Secretary of State Clinton, the scenario of getting rid of Obama and his lackeys has as much chance of coming to fruition as Obama announcing he deeply appreciates Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report.

–Writing on Breitbart.com, Kerry Picket cited an authoritative source who claimed that only Obama or someone acting on his authority could have ordered our Special Forces to stand down in the face of pleas for help from our people at the consulate.

–Sen. Lindsey Graham (R, SC) wrote on Facebook that “I think the [political] dam is about to break on Benghazi. We’re going to find a system failure before, during, and after the attacks. . . when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton” and opined that “to me [those failures were] every bit as damaging as Watergate.”

–Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told Newsmax that what was done and not done during the Benghazi attacks could be the final “hinge point” that destroys the Obama administration because “It’s that serious for them.”

Unfortunately for Pickett’s source and for Graham’s and for Bolton’s wishful thinking, and for our country, hinge points or no, Obama will skate through this very nasty scandal.

 That reality is doubly unfortunate for Pat Smith.

Mrs. Smith admitted to CNN’s Jake Tapper that she understandably still cries every night for her only son, State Department information officer Sean Smith, who was one of the four Americans murdered in Benghazi.  Mrs. Smith also, unequivocally and reasonably, blames then-Secretary Clinton and presumptive 2016 Democrat nominee for the presidency for those murders “Because that’s her department. She is supposed to be on top of it. Yet she claims she knows nothing. It wasn’t told to her. Well, who is running the place?”

Who, indeed?  Where the hell does the Benghazi buck stop?  Keep in mind that no one died in President Nixon’s Watergate cover-up.  No one died in President Reagan’s arms for hostages deal.  And four innocent Americans in the service of their country and President Obama perished on 9/11/2012 due to no fault of their own.  

What Lindsey Graham, John Bolton, and Pat Smith apparently ignore is the fact that this is not 1974 when Nixon was caught in the Watergate mess.  Then, a Democrat Congress intent on eliminating once and for all a decades-old Republican nemesis were joined by such GOP notables as Sen. Barry Goldwater and the mass media and a panoply of liberal-leftists to bring Nixon down–and they succeeded.

On the other hand, in 2013, America has now devolved into Obamaland, a land in which the President of the United States controls and manipulates the voice of the people, the MSM, an America in which Obamians have all but decimated the middle class and substituted an underclass dependent on government largesse and virtually obligated to believe all Obama’s lies, an America which has lost its moral footing. 

  Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, proved that latter reality when he notified the Benghazi witnesses on Wednesday that “death is a part of life.”  Cummings’ blithe, dismissive statement was equivalent in its ignorant insensitivity to Hillary Clinton’s rhetorical questions in January to a Senate committee when she asked, “Was it [the Bengazi murders] because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans.  What difference–at this point, what difference does it make?” 

Memo to Mrs. Clinton: It makes a helluva BIG difference when the “guys” were Islamic terrorists who murdered four employees of her State Department because they were not protected by her!   

Does any conscious American seriously believe that anything this president or his subordinates do or don’t do, no matter how reprehensible and unconstitutional, will lead to his impeachment and removal from office? Those who think that’s even a remote possibility are invited to request a free pass for admission into the inner circle of Obamaland. The sole requirement is evidence of membership in the Democrat Party or a certified and notarized statement that they have been declared legally braindead. 

Stay tuned but if Obama is ever impeached, I’ll eat my old Nixon posters. 

Even fewer people are willing to confront the evident truths that the chief reasons for the blossoming of national and local campaigns against bullying as national causes and the reasons demands for gun control have become so strident have little to nothing to do with the vast majority of Americans. 

Rather, they are closely related to specific, limited groups within our society: The anti-bullying mania isn’t focused on preventing general harrassment in schools nearly as much as it is concerned with gay students being teased and sometimes–rarely–injured and gun controls are now widely advocated not as much to insure a safer society but to minimize rampant black violence and murders.

Kids bullying kids inside or outside their schools have been a traditional if unfortunate fact of scholastic life from time immemorial.  No doubt some of Socrates’ students ridiculed their chubbier fellow Greek kids and no doubt some smartass Roman kids made snarky comments about their less-intellectually-endowed fellow students. 

Likewise and sadly, deadly weapons have often been used in America against mostly innocent victims for centuries. 

Even more regrettable and sad are exceptional instances of homosexual kids like the very talented Tyler Clementi killing himself by leaping off the George Washington Bridge in 2010 and other young people taking their own lives but, for perspective, over 34,000 people kill themselves every year in our country.

Something in the minds of gay youths–as well in the minds of murderous, black youths–is obviously disordered, disorders that cannot be rectified by any useless, feel-good legislation that caters to liberal-leftist politicians’ quests for votes.

To my knowledge, over mankind’s long history no elected government representatives or un-elected bureaucrats have ever instituted laws and issued mandates designed to shield protected individuals from being bullied at the expense of the rights of the un-bullied.  Nor have elected or unelected officials ever attempted to curtail the constitutionally-guaranteed rights of a majority to protect and defend itself from injury and death because a minority gets its jollies by murdering and maiming their own. 

Until now. 

  BULLYING.

Homosexual activist Dan Savage currently directs a White House/Barack Hussein Obama-backed anti-bullying campaign called “It Gets Better” aimed at re-assuring gay youths that their immaturely-chosen aberrant lifestyle is perfectly acceptable and that any physical, emotional, or moral discomfort they experience as a result of that choice “gets better” over time. 

The aptly-named Savage, who has made a career of bullying conservatives who disagree with his perverted lifestyle and has frequently bullied Christian high school kids who believe it and he are repugnant, recently posted an especially vile attack on noted conservative Sarah Palin.  As Savage incoherently tweeted, “Woke up to Sarah Palin’s voice.  She’s taken up chewing tobacco now cuz LIBRULS or Bloomberg or something.  Now seeing upside of oral cancers.” 

Those of us familiar with Savage’s savagery are accustomed to his venomous spew so that’s not the issue here.  What is a very significant issue is that he, like other vitriolic Obamians such as the president’s former Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools Kevin Jennings escape censure by Obama’s mainstream media because his MSM fully concur with everything they say. 

  For example, while teaching at Concord Academy in Massachusetts, Jennings once advised a 16 year old boy who had told him of a  homosexual  encounter with an adult predator to “use a condom” and broke the law by not disclosing what amounted to statuatory rape.  Jennings’ “punishment”?  Nil.  His reward?  Appointment to various governmental posts and eventually to the position of Obama’s man overseeing his vision of “safe” schools before he was ousted when his sleaze became public. 

(See “Kevin Jennings and ‘Safe Schools’ ” (http://bit.ly/pcAMPH)  for documented specifics on his sleazy background, including equating the treatment of gays in America with slavery.  For a more exhaustive analysis of Jennings, including his advocacy in favor of instructing gradeschoolers on “fisting” and his endorsement of a hard-core pornographic homosexual “how-to” booklet given to kids, see http://tinyurl.com/bwhpdch.)  

The campaign against bullying being conducted in America’s public school systems was launched, directed, and implemented by agents of the very well organized Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered (LGBT) Lobby with gleeful support from such organizations as the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA),  in order to promote interest in the LGBT and NAMBLA and to seek recruits into their mental disorder. 

Using intimidation and the threat of violent reprisals against the American Psychiatric Association and its sister American Psychological Association, the nascent LGBT succeeded in the early seventies in convincing highly-educated shrinks that they were wrong for all those years and that homosexuals were right and normal all along. 

That achievement is the rough equivalent of persuading President Obama that Islamist radicals hate us and want to destroy us. 

  Nevertheless, it worked, just as determined gay efforts to convince Americans that bullying is an epidemic is working.  Whether or not homosexuality is a genetic or learned behavior–and recent research has shown it is definitely not genetic–the gay lobby seems to be winning that argument, thanks to the media and the resultant, massive public ignorance.   

NEXT: How the MSM, the Black Lobby, and the Democrat Party have used irrational fear and panic over guns to make people believe that gun restrictions will eradicate criminality, a false supposition tantamount to believing that inanimate, deadly weapons kill people and not the miscreants who use them.            

PART THREE   

Diversity and Divisiveness:   The New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP)

The New Black Panther Party, successor to the old Black Panther Party various members of which were known, indicted, and convicted for murder, mayhem, and insurrection in the sixties and seventies, cleaned up the old black radical party chiefly by not being caught or by being set free when they were.  Endorsed by future FLOTUS Michelle LaVaughn Robinson in her senior thesis at Princeton, the old Panthers weren’t as lucky as the NBPP in that they didn’t have friends in high places such as the White House. 

Despite being identified by the very left wing Southern Poverty Law Center as “a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers,” the black separatist NBPP enjoys general approbation among our president’s mainstream media who, when they aren’t approving the criminal activities of the NBPP, offer the next best form of support–ignoring those criminal activities so that they largely escape public scrutiny and well-deserved condemnation.

  Significantly less discreet than the more politically-attuned national organization, leaders of local New Black Panther Party chapters are often the best sources of the true intent of the national group as when Tampa NBPP chieftess Michelle Williams recently told  her Tampa members to prepare for an imminent race war and  suggested they get “suited, booted, and armed up for this race war.” 

Channeling another black racist also immune from MSM criticism, Calypso Louie Farrakhan Muhammad, head of the extremist, separatist Nation of Islam, Williams went on a vile, black racist tear the likes of which are seldom heard, well, seldom heard outside the inner circles of the NBPP. 

Williams ranted that a race war with “these honkeys, these crackers, these pink poeple, these pigs” was long overdue, called for the death George Zimmerman (who killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense). declared, “I am for violence,” that she was “pissed off that the state of Florida is not on fire right now,” and offered her deep-felt opinion that real black men “aren’t scared to kill a cracker.”  (“Crackers” is a derogatory term for whites, by the way.)

Another Tampa NBPP honcho chimed in saying that blacks are about to cross “a sea of blood” and battle the “devils and demons” of the white race.  He admitted that the NBPP is conducting military training in Florida to prepare its members for a race war in America and called on his fellow NBPPers to stockpile water, food, survival supplies, guns, and ammunition.  (http://tinyurl.com/clropxd)  

Most reasonably-informed Americans are aware that Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder dismissed all charges of 2008 voter intimidation against the New Black Panther Party soon after he took office and later refused to indict the NBPP for offering bounties for the execution of George Zimmerman.  Few may be aware that Holder referred to white people as “cowards” even before he was confirmed as A.G.  

Based on our insane tolerance of individuals and organizations admittedly dedicated to destroying our nation, that scurrilous accusation of white cowardice may very well be accurate.  We often seem foolishly more committed to political correctness, to diversity, and to that tolerance than to our national survival.  Should America continue our insane tolerance of individuals and organizations admittedly dedicated to destroying our nation, we will deserve our fate.

 Rather, they are named for the then-79 year old Stella Liebeck of Albuquerque, N.M. who ordered a forty-nine cent cup of 180 degree coffee at a McDonald’s drive-thru in 1992, foolishly placed it between her legs, sustained serious scalding to her thighs, buttocks, and pelvis,sued Mickey D’s for $20,000, and won $2,860,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, a figure later reduced to $640,000 before the case was finally settled for an undisclosed amount.

Liebeck vs McDonald’s Restaurants is now regarded as the poster case for tort reform in America.  Thanks to our greedy legal profession, two decades later, that reform has not happened and, indeed in the interim, frivolous civil lawsuits have mushroomed and have clogged our already-clogged courts.

And, the plaintiffs often win!

Stella Liebeck was seriously injured as a result of her carelessness but many of the subsequent claims totally lack any merit and hence the crying need for the “Stella Awards” to remind Americans of the idiocy of our legal system.

  THE WINNERS OF THE 2012 “STELLA AWARDS,” LISTED ACCORDING TO THEIR LEVEL OF ABSURDITY:

SEVENTH PLACE.  Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 after she broke her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The jury wasn’t concerned that said toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.

SIXTH PLACE.  Los Angeles resident Carl Truman won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand.  Mr. Truman hadn’t noticed there was someone behind the wheel of the Honda Accord as he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.

FIFTH PLACE.  Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, tried to exit a home he had just burglarized through the vacationing homeowners’ garage but couldn’t get the automatic door opener to work and couldn’t re-enter the house because he had inadvertently locked the door.  Dickson he spent 8 days subsisting on Pepsi Cola and dog food, sued the homeowner claiming mental anguish and was awarded $500,000.

FOURTH PLACE.  Jerry Williams of Little Rock, AR won $14,500 in addition to his medical expenses when he was bitten on his nasty ass by his neighbor’s chained beagle after Williams climbed over a fence into the neighbor’s yard and repeatedly shot the poor animal with a pellet gun.

THIRD PLACE.  A Philadelphia restaurant had to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink she had thrown at her boyfriend 30 seconds before during an argument and broke her coccyx.

SECOND PLACE. Kara Walton of Claymont, DE sued the owner of a night club after she fell out of a ladies room window onto the floor and knocked out her two front teeth.  Ms. Walton was trying to skip paying a $3.50 cover charge and was awarded $12,000 plus dental expenses.

FIRST PLACE.  The 2012 winner of the prestigious “Stella Awards” was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, OK who purchased a 32-foot Winnebago motor home, set the cruise control at 70 mph, then went into into the back of the RV to get a bite to eat, oblivious of the fact cruise control merely regulates speed and not direction.  The vehicle understandably crashed and overturned, Mrs.Grazinski filed a suit against Winnebago for not advising her that it was asinine to leave the driver’s seat and an equally-dumb jury gave her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home, thus rewarding her for being an ignoramus but earning her the  top “Stella Award” for being the biggest nincompoop of 2012.      

  Then, again, since all the above made a bundle with their spurious lawsuits, who are the real nincompoops–Mrs. Grazinsky and her cohorts or the rest of us who ended up paying them for their stupidity one way or another? 

(Hat tip to Tom S.)

  Even as Barack Hussein Obama and his leftist-liberal, pro-abortion mainstream media try

Based on the testimony of prosecution witnesses, Gosnell–and his underpaid, medically-uncertified staff of teenagers and quasi-doctors–have to qualify without exaggeration as some of the most depraved and nauseating examples of human degeneracy in history, including the Nazi “Angel of Death,” Josef Mengele.  To his limited credit, Dr. Mengele performed his sick experiments not for personal gain but for his führer, Adolph Hitler; Dr. Gosnell committed his atrocities in order to pad his wallet. 

(See “Kermit Gosnell, Philadelphia’s Josef Mengele,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=30601, and “The MSM’s Selective Horrors,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=30895, for previously-published details on what would be the trial of the century in a sane world but which has been treated as a non-story in America’s media world.)  

Gosnell’s trial is reaching its conclusion after 42 days, 42 days of gruesome testimony during which virtually no attention was paid by the mainstreamers some of whom were embarrassed into belatedly and cursorily mentioning it although ABC News as of April 29th has featured absolutely zero coverage, discussion, or reference to the sensational case. 

  Apparently, a murder trial involving an African-American physician who, along with his largely black staff, stands accused of murdering at least four African-American babies and carelessly killing a pregnant African-American refugee don’t constitute news at ABC.   

Over the course of Gosnell’s trial, ABC’s “Good Morning America” has covered the Jodi Arias salacious murder trial in Arizona on 22 occasions and the equally-salacious Amanda Knox retrial in Italy 9 times–a total of 109 minutes–but never saw fit to discuss Gosnell’s alleged murders in Philadelphia even once. (http://tinyurl.com/d8ohzfg)

A cynic might come to believe that Obama’s mainstreamers are more interested in the raunchy and political correctness than in covering a highly significant news event or in preserving what’s left of their journalistic integrity. 

It wouldn’t even require cynicism to judge Gosnell’s attorney Jack McMahon a blooming idiot for playing the baseless race card and ignorantly claiming that “You have to have definite, voluntary movement” in order to convict his client of murder.  A newborn’s breathing is insufficient evidence of life to Mr. McMahon and insufficient cause to prevent his client and his minions from executing them by snipping their necks and spinal cords, Gosnell’s favorite method of dispatching baby rejects.

Recently, LiveAction.ororg released videos of two Gosnell soulmates. 

One, D.C. Doctor Cesare Santangelo of the Washington Surgi-Clinic admits “We would not help it” if a baby were born alive after a botched abortion despite his legal obligation to do so and thinks pro-lifers are “terrorists”.  The other, the Dr. Emily Women’s Health Center in the Bronx, shows a worker saying the clinic “would put a baby born in a jar of ‘solution’ that would cause it to stop breathing,” an incredible admission of infanticide which the Center attributes to misinformation. (http://www.liveaction.org/)  

  The saddest part of those revelations is the evident reality that Dr. Kermit Gosnell is not alone in his contempt for innocent life.  It would be much sadder if Lady Justice doesn’t wrap Gosnell in both arms and he isn’t found guilty on all counts and executed for his gross inhumanity.  Then she should go after Obama’s mainstream media for gross journalistic malpractice.
