Robert De Niro must be taking Joe Biden gaffe lessons...and to an all new level.

"Callista Gingrich, Karen Santorum, Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?" De Niro said. "Too soon, right?"


Seems like a strange comment coming from a male Caucasian unless you know Bob.

Ray Kelly Thinks Maybe He’s the One Being Stereotyped

Before you read this bear in mind since 911 the NYPD has done an incredible job of preventing terrorist attacks; succeeding in breaking up 14 attempted attacks and all 14 involve Muslims who are either home grown or immigrated here.

Would you go to a hardware store if you needed a loaf of bread?

A Sunday editorial in the New York Times called for a Justice Department review of the New York Police Department's actions, not focused on its "constitutionally suspect surveillance practices," but also the use of stop-and-frisks. According to the Times, the NYPD's abuses of power "have virtually eliminated the presumption of innocence and that treat citizens, and even entire communities, as suspect even after they are proved innocent." In response, Mike Lupica of the New YorkDaily News lent Commissioner Ray Kelly a sympathetic ear in Monday's edition, with both men taking the opportunity to scoff at the haters. "Maybe they're not comfortable with success," Kelly said, simply.

Kelly, the city's longest-serving police commissioner ever, promises, "I'm not going anywhere." Under his rule, the News notes, there has been a drop in the number of officers due to budget cuts, but also a lowered murder rate. "Think about math like that," Lupica writes, calling the Times editorial "overwrought."

Last week, Kelly lashed out at City Council members who questioned the work of the department, including spying on Muslim communities, which has been shown to reflect little more than religious profiling. Speaking to Lupica, Kelly gets a bit flip with the criticisms: "Sometimes it sounds sometimes like people are more comfortable stereotyping me," he said.

Kelly also accuses his opponents of forgetting about 9/11. "People have short memories, they just do. They do," he said. "I live downtown and pass Ground Zero every single day. Maybe that's why it's on my mind more than it is with other people. [Sept. 11] is an event that should never ever escape the consciousness of New York. But sometimes I think it does."

"Listen, I know we'd all like to go back to a more peaceful time in America," he continued. "That's just not the country in which we live, and it's certainly not the world in which we live. Sometimes I believe there's this notion that if we don't have a threat for two months, well, things are getting better. Only they're not. This is a long-term war we're in against terrorism, and we are going to continue to do what we're doing." And hopefully, those in the business of asking questions and encouraging oversight will keep at it as well, even if it tests Kelly's patience.

American killed in Yemen

The school "is calling on the Yemeni people to rise up and reject the hatred and violence in their country." 

Don't hold your breath.

Tolerance Bloomberg... gotta be a two way street. 

I suspect tolerance espoused by the liberal establishment, which embraces Islam, has more to do with fear then religious equality. Another likely explanation is their advocacy of the progressive liberal blind trust theory which is... look the other way and hope nothing happens.

School that employed American shot in Yemen denies he proselytized Christianity

(So what if he did... then it's acceptable to kill him?)

SANAA, Yemen – The school employing an American teacher gunned down in Yemen has denied accusations that he was proselytizing Christianity.

Mar. 18, 2012: Yemenis gather around a damaged vehicle purported to belong to an American teacher shot by gunmen in Taiz, Yemen.

A text message that circulated by mobile phone in Yemen said that "holy warriors" had killed "a senior missionary" in the central city of Taiz, shortly after the teacher was shot dead Sunday by two gunmen on a motorcycle.

It was impossible to confirm the claim of responsibility. Al Qaeda and other militant groups are active in Yemen, which has suffered a breakdown of central state authority during the country's yearlong uprising.

Taiz security director Ali al-Saidi said Monday that the investigation is still ongoing.

A statement from the International Training Development Centre in Taiz identified the victim as Joel Shrum, an American development worker living in Yemen with his wife and two children since 2010.

The school denied that Shrum was proselytizing, saying that he "highly respected" Islam. It said Muslims and Christians work together on "human development, skill transfer and community development" projects there and that religious and political debates are not permitted.

The release said the school "is calling on the Yemeni people to rise up and rejects the hatred and violence in their country."

The (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era identified Shrum, 30, as a former resident of the central Pennsylvania town of Mount Joy.

Shrum's father told the newspaper his son loved his job. "He was just motivated by especially seeing people coming out of poverty," James Shrum said.

Joel Shrum had last talked to his family on Friday, discussing a planned vacation together this summer, the newspaper reported.

Shrum was a standout football player at Donegal High School, where former coach Gayne Deshler remembered him as a team-first player. Deshler told the newspaper he worried about Shrum and other family members who did church worker abroad, fearing the kind of violence that took Shrum's life.

"They were the kind of family you could see doing that because they were always more interested in other people than themselves," he said.
