Fascinating article, especially the bit about Obama and his grandfather.
"The young Obama was horrified: I had imagined him to be a man of his people, opposed to white rule, he wrote in Dreams from my Father. What Granny [Sarah Obama, one of Onyango's wives] had told me scrambled that image completely, causing ugly words to flash across my mind. Uncle Tom. Collaborator. House nigger.
It never occurs to him that his grandfather might have watched the British improve life in Kenya. After all the British only took Kenya on as a protectorate in 1890, even if his Grandfather wasn't around pre-British there certainly would be folks around who were and watching civilization spread. Certainly seems worth asking why, instead of the childish white bad, black good name calling that Obama writes about.
After all "apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

.....reported their activities to Mau Mau insurgents, even though he wasn't Kikuyu, and was subsequently jailed for espionage.
Yes, people USED to be imprisoned or shot for passing classified information. Any other questions as to why Zero fails to make substantive comment on the WL event stream?

For crying out loud, forget about some perceived wrong that you never really knew. I'm sure most of us could drag up something in some unknown relative's past that we could bitch and sulk about. Get over it.

The entire moral posture of leftism is "righting" perceived wrongs. It doesn't matter if the wrongs are imagined or non-existent, as long as all good lefties believe the wrongs occurred. All the killing in USSR and Mao's China weren't wrong, you see, because they ameliorated larger wrongs, in the lefty mind. Get that and you GET IT...

I'm sort of surprised that nobody faked some Russian documents and arranged for them to be picked up by Wikileaks. If the documents went unreleased it would provide some damned evidence of what Wikileaks is really up to despite claims, and if leaked the Russians might remove the Wikileaks people altogether.
Not saying I wish this sort of thing, but it surprises me. Seems the CIA assassins are busy chasing Bourne around rather than doing the normal things assassins do.

Our enemy and their supporters tend to make what is an islamic problem your psychological hangup. No matter that we are dealing with a bunch of 7th century psychopathic murderers with supremacist ambitions for the world.

I think the bulk of America has a pretty good idea about Islam and knows a lot have chosen neutrality in the conflict of cultures waiting to see which side wins. Those ones are not all our enemy but they are also not our friends and we should not be bending over backwards for them unless they pick a side.

So we are Islamophobic and so what? Islam is not something you are born with and can't do nothing about it. Islam is also an idea and the ideas of a person influence its actions.
I hate Nazism so according to the Islampohobic logic I am Naziphobic or more exacly an intolerant and eeeevil Naziphobic. Eisenhower was of German ascent but would have it been right to handle him the responsability of Overlord if he had kept a German heart or had he been a Nazi? If he had told, like many Muslims openly tell, his loyalty to Germany was stronger than his one to the United States?
Great read from the master, published in the latest issue of World Affairs. It's all about American broadcasting efforts around the world, starting with Radio Liberty, and it's a superb piece.

I DO have a problem with being told to produce required documentation to get a drivers license by a government whose top official is un-willing to do the same. And is working to insure 20,000,000 illegals the chance to cancel my vote to get additional support for his leftest agenda.
I have seen an intersting theory: the document Obama does not want anyone to see is the one listing his race. Apparently in Kenya his fater is not registered as a Black but as three quarters Arab. Even if we forgat about WOT it wouldn't sit well with these 95% Blacks who voted for him because they thought he was one of them.

I put a photo of Mr. Scott up in my carpet-covered pen today...not that I subscribe with his views as much as it drives my sports- oriented Libtard co-workers nutz....
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
