#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone

Those “super-smart” “cyber-savvy” tech hipsters supporting Obama cooked up the Twitter campaign 
#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone. 

The # or hashtag creates a category on Twitter that allows comments with a particular phrase preceded by the hashtag to be grouped. Thee expectation was that fellow tech hipster types would say things like #ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone Shop For Groceries
Expectations don’t always come to pass. What happened was the most comments turned out to be thngs like:

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone Launched a political career in the home of an admitted terrorist

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone sit under the leadership of a pastor for 20 years that screams “God D*mn America!” from the pulpit

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone Bow to a foreign leader

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone implied that minorities are too stupid to obtain a photo ID

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone attended more than 100 fundraisers while not meeting even once with his jobs council.

#ThingsMittRomneyHasNeverDone visited all 57 states.
Maybe Obama really isn’t as smart and loved as the dying media claims.

Corzine Scandal Now Enmeshes Holder

Corzine Scandal Now Enmeshes Holder — The disappearance of $1.6 billion (that’s billion) from prominent derivatives broker MF Global has drawn crickets chirping from federal law enforcement and Brietbart.Com has come up with a likely reason.

 
The law firm that represented the MFers was Coverton & Burling where Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer worked before being appointed to their law enforcement posts.
 
Of course, others might simply point out that prosecutorial discretion being exercised is because MF’s CEO when the money vanished was Jon Corzine, a prominent Democrat and money-raiser for Barack Obama who worked as New Jersey governor and senator before taking his derivatives post.
 
Oh, and the trustee overseeing MF’s bankruptcy is former FBI Director and Penn State scandal investigator Louis Freeh, who served as a character witness at Holder’s confirmation hearing.

Europe Died At Aushwitz

Courtesy of Fran Coppock
The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian
Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.
*REMEMBER AS YOU READ — IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER
Date: Tue. 15 January 2008*
ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ  By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz ….. We killed six million Jews and
replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art,
international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These
are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to
ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred,
creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and
superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their
talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to
life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed
by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and
theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe .
The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world’s population.
The Global Jewish population is approximately 14,000,000; that is FOURTEEN MILLION or about 0.02% of the world’s population.
The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training
camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.
The Jews don’t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death
to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard
education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the
Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more
culpability on Israel ‘s part, the following two sentences really say it
all:
“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more
violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .” Benjamin Netanyahu
General Eisenhower warned us it is a matter of history that when the
Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect:
‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because
somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million
Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic
priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while the German people looked the other way.
Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the
memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center
‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?

A Defense Of Joe Paterno

Paul Mirengoff on Powerlineblog.com has posted an article, “The Case Against Joe Paterno: Weak To Non-Existent On The Current Record” based on a letter from a lawyer friend.

He says the friend reviewed the Freeh Report  and concluded that it did not establish wrongdoing by JoePa, and “misrepresented Joe Paterno’s culpability in the Jerry Sandusky matter.”
The article says: The claim seems to be that Mr. Paterno knew about a 1998 allegation and did nothing, and that in 2001, when he learned about Mike McQueary’s information, he waited a day before he reported the information to the athletic director (Curley) and the vice president in charge of the University Police (Schultz) and then did nothing else.
It notes that regarding the 1998 incident that Sandusky was investigated by police, the district attorney and the Department of Public Welfare which found that there was no indication of child abuse.
The article says: The Freeh Report’s expression of outrage may sound compelling now, with the benefit of hindsight and the evidence that now exists about Sandusky’s criminal misconduct. But given that (1) law enforcement officials and other people investigated the 1998 incident and found no wrongdoing; (2) Seasock’s report exonerated Sandusky; (3) the District Attorney declined to prosecute the case; (4) Sandusky denied the allegations; and (5) the complete lack of evidence about Mr. Paterno’s knowledge, involvement, and actions, it is difficult to see how Mr. Paterno can be subject to ridicule because he “allowed” Sandusky to retire “not as a suspected child predator.”
Regarding Paterno’s silence after passing on what Assistant Coach Mike McQueary saw in the shower, Mirengoff’s friend says:

Furthermore, if Mr. Paterno had reported the McQueary information to me (were I, like Schultz, the official in charge of the University Police), I would have told him to keep his mouth shut going forward and let the authorities handle the matter. Otherwise, Mr. Paterno could have tainted the investigation. And, because he was a potential trial witness (to McQueary’s prior consistent statements, see Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(1)(B and Pennsylvania Rule of Evidence613(c)), any further statements or action by Mr. Paterno could have become cross-examination fodder for the defense. Any further action by Mr.Paterno could only have damaged the integrity of the investigation and any prosecution against Sandusky.

Indeed, Mr. Paterno explained his actions before he died by saying that “I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the University procedure was. So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did.” Freeh Report at 77-78. This statement makes perfect sense, and the notion of a football coach supervising a criminal investigation is ridiculous. It is very possible that Curley or Schultz or both told Mr. Paterno to stay out of the matter; in fact, Schultz should have told him as much. But we don’t know because Schultz and Curley are under indictment and not talking, Paterno is dead, and the Freeh Report did not find any information about this issue.

Maybe the most damning thing from Freeh can be found in his statement summing up the report:  Based on the evidence, the only known, intervening factor between the decision made on February 25, 2001 by Messrs. Spanier, Curley and Schulz to report the incident to the Department of Public Welfare, and then agreeing not to do so on February 27th, was Mr. Paterno’s February 26th conversation with Mr. Curley.
If the NCAA had a big more guts (and brains and heart) they might have waited until Tim Curley, who is facing perjury charges, got around to testifying as to what Joe Pa said before giving his record the nonperson treatment.
By the way, did you see that former PSU President Graham Spanier got a security job with the federal government?
