Saturday Shorts 9-14-13

Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
‘I want this a lot, therefore I have a right to get it’: the attitude of modern school-leavers ~ From the UK Telegraph. Apparently, entitlement mentality among high school grads isn’t exclusive to the the U.S.
 
Perhaps our yutes should attend one of these before they graduate: “The Survivors of Communism Summit,” for a reality-check and a bit of perspective; 100 Million Corpses in 100 Years – We Must Never Forget.
 
Plans to smuggle pro-LGBT propaganda into Russia and disrupt Olympics revealed at “gay” journalists convention in Boston ~ Isn’t it wonderful that the radical gay lobby is taking their vitally important crusade of ending homophobia in sports to Sochi, Russia next February?
Just now I imagine they’re celebrating one of their latest victories: Sports Commentator Fired Over Past Remarks That Homosexuals Will ‘Answer to the Lord for Actions.’ ~ Craig James (a former NFL player for the New England Patriots) and his Christian beliefs are no longer welcome at FOX Sports Southwest.
 
Here’s more intolerant activism ~ Facebook, Homosexuals Try to Shut Down Boy Scouts Alternative ~ Also, one more reason to avoid Facebook – and their totalitarian tendencies.

 
Al-Qaida leader calls for attacks inside US ~

“We should bleed America economically by motivating it to continue its huge expenditure on its security as America’s weak point is its economy, which already has begun stumbling because of the military and security expenditure,” he said. “America is not a mythic power and the Americans, after all, are humans who can be defeated, felled and punished.”

Coincidentally, this was on the same day of the “Million-Muslim March” in D.C.. Billed as an “historic event” for “establishing the humanity and justice through civil rights,” ultimately the march was ~ a Virtual No-Show in Nation’s Capital.
 
Amanpour Explodes at CNN Syria Panel: Stop Spewing ‘False Moral Equivalence!’ ~ Yikes! Good to know female talking heads are thoroughly professional and never get all emotional on the set.
 
GOP lawmaker calls for criminal penalties against IRS’s Lerner ~

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) on Thursday called for criminal penalties against Lois Lerner, the former director of exempt organizations at the IRS, for lying to Congress about her involvement in the IRS targeting scandal.

When pigs fly Louie. It sounds great, but afraid we’ll have to file this with all the other attempts at justice that failed to succeed; Benghazi, Fast & Furious, NSA spying, subverting the Constitution…
 
James Woods on Obama: ‘The Gift from Hell that Keeps on Giving’ ~ Ever since Woods had a pre-9-11 encounter with some flying jihadists on a re-con mission, the actor has become more and more outspokenly conservative. And he comes up with some great tweets @RealJamesWoods.
