PHOTO: WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA TODAY

As I sat in a restaurant this past Saturday evening, I took note of a football game on one of the multiple televisions. It was University of Texas vs. UCLA. Surprisingly, UCLA was way ahead late in the game. Making the score even a bit more disheartening for UT fans was that the game was in Austin. UT trailed 27-6 with just over eleven minutes left and the camera man singled out a fan who was either far too emotionally or financially invested in the outcome.

I hope this guy is as engaged in what's going on with his country as he is in the success of a football team. In fairness to him, if he's not, he's not the only one. I just found this photo emblematic of a much larger problem of disengagement when it comes to the dire situation we're in as a nation.

BLACK PANTHERS MEET WITH AHMADINEJAD UNCONDITIONALLY

There are now two stories involving the New Black Panther Party that occurred in the same week the mainstream media appears to be completely disinterested in. Perhaps the most explosive was the testimony of civil rights attorney in the Department of Justice, Christopher Coates, who identified individuals within the DOJ who refused to prosecute the Black Panther case on racial grounds. The other story involved a shared dining experience between Louis Farrakhan, members of the New Black Panther Party, and Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Via the New York Post:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's six nights in New York featured a secret sit-down with militant minister Louis Farrakhan, heckling in a hotel bar, and a fear of being rubbed out that bordered on paranoia.

The president shared a hush-hush meal with Farrakhan and members of the New Black Panther Party Tuesday at the Warwick Hotel on West 54th Street.

The meeting of the podium smackers took place in a banquet room, where the fiery leaders presumably exchanged theories on what's wrong with the world.

No doubt, the subject of those 'rotten Jews' was on the table for discussion. Be sure to read the whole article. It points out Mahmoud's paranoia, his stinky clothes, his stinky food, and a woman who openly accused him of stoning her sister. It doesn't appear that Ahmadinejad's most recent visit to the U.S. went all that well.

OCTOBER 2ND: MARXIST ANSWER TO GLENN BECK RALLY

The good news might just be that the left is truly unmasking itself with this event. The August 28th rally at the Lincoln Memorial definitely got under the skin of the freedom-haters. Rarely do you see these groups openly aligning with each other. It's definitely not their preferred course of action because it exposes their deceitful agenda(s). They usually prefer to operate separately. The event scheduled for October 2nd in Washington, D.C. seems to indicate they're pulling out all the stops to match Beck's rally.

Cliff Kincaid has more at USA Survival:

Michael McPhearson, one of the key organizers of the event and former executive director of Veterans for Peace, tells us, “I’m not all that concerned if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Marxist or Communist whatever,” he said. “I just want us to work together to make our country better. That’s what I look at – not if you’re a socialist.”

Questioned on the involvement of communist groups, McPhearson shot back, “What is radical? We are trying to bring everybody together under one tent. In the United States everybody has a voice and speaks their opinion.” He said the Tea Party has its own share of controversial people.

Hmmmm. The Tea Party makes no bones about who it allows within its ranks. Socialists, Communists, Marxists, and racists are all out. The overwhelming majority of people at Tea Parties engaged in racist behavior are infiltraitors sympathetic to causes like that of McPhearson. He's "not concerned" if attendees are "communist."

That should be obvious when you take a look at the groups and individuals scheduled to be in attendance.

In addition to USAction, the official “partners” of the October 2 rally include the AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), National Council of La Raza, the Campus Progress affiliate of the Center for American Progress, Green for All (the Van Jones group), the American Federation of Teachers, Pax Christi, Rainbow Push, Color of Change, United for Peace and Justice, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, AFSCME, Queers for Economic Justice, and ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).

One of the leaders of the event identifies herself as a "Democratic strategist" and was the CEO for the 2008 Democratic National Convention:

The “national campaign manager” of the October 2 demonstration is Reverend Leah Daughtry, described on her web site as is “a nationally recognized teacher, preacher, speaker, organizer, leader, and Democratic strategist.” Her work for the Democratic Party includes serving as Chief Executive Officer of the 2008 Democratic National Convention Committee and Chief of Staff of the Democratic National Committee.

I think it's quite safe to say that the Democratic Party has officially been eaten by enemies of our Constitutional Republic.
