Omar Mateen’s dad is a huge Hillary supporter.
He’s the guy sitting right up front in the red hat. You may recall his “God will punish those involved in homosexuality,” comment from around the time his son decided to take that responsibility for himself. But remember, the same FBI that said Hillary didn’t break the law enough to warrant prosecution also said that the Orlando Disco Massacre wasn’t a hate crime. In fact, the FBI still has absolutely no idea why Omar Mateen shot up the Pulse nightclub. The only clue they have is that he pledged his support to ISIS and screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he shot the place up. The FBI believes ‘Allahu Akbar’ may be Spanish for ‘Climate Change.’
Remember how it was supposed to be a big deal that David Duke had endorsed Trump? Yeah, I don’t expect the media to make a big deal out of this for some reason.
Question: Do you think the Hillary people are smart enough to have planted this guy in the audience to bait Trump into going off-message on another week-long tirade?
Update: The Hillary campaign is claiming the event was open to the public and they had no control over who was attending. And perhaps there are people dumb enough to believe that all attendees at Hillary events are not carefully screened and vetted. Probably the same people who really believed that the $400M Obama sent to Iran in foreign currency in an unmarked jet in the middle of the night wasn’t really a payoff.
Incidentally, the New York Times (“Fire Bad!”) openly admits that they are going to do everything possible to make sure Hillary wins. Really, the only difference between this and any other election is they’re open about it this time.
Here he is on video. He really likes Hillary’s gun control position. A lot.
Hill and Bar turned to The East
To fetch Qaddafi’s Gold
Qaddafi got it in the Aft
His people got the Shaft
ISIS came along, you see
To clean up for Hill’ry
I’d like to hear our more leftist posters explain this one away…..explain how Hillary’s campaign could be so tone deaf.
He’s an outspoken supporter of the Taliban — who have a policy of murdering gays by collapsing walls on them.
And who we went to war with because they sheltered al’Qaeda after 9/11.
Makes me wonder how many other supporters of our enemies campaign with Hillary.
Why are the Hillary voters so darned inured to “reality?”
It is because they have a cognitive bias which systematically sublimates some or most data and any evidence which messes with another bias they have: their confirmation bias. The confirmation bias is a conscious or unconscious rationalization that filters and selects information that supports their pre-existing points of view. That is to say, they have two forms of bias working in tandem to repress (from their “reality”) what they don’t want to believe.
Benghazi? Simple. Another whacko conservative conspiracy theory aimed at tearing down a good and decent woman. The e-mail stuff? If “they” had anything, the charges would have been cut and dried a long time ago. The Repugnants just keep gnawing on that “destroy-Hillary” bone and coming up empty, according to the Hillary fans. Once you understand what their minds are doing, you can readily see that their minds are made up and they are not about to let “facts” mess with their minds.
When intellectually cornered, the confirmation-biased Hillary fan will employ the fallacies of logic to convert the issue into a blind alley and thereby not allowing anything of substance to be connected to dealing with the issue at hand. Or, the confirmation-biased Hillary fan will more likely cut right to the chase and declare any conflicting view to be absurd or unproven or claimed to be discredited or produced by an unworthy source or lacking in proof or based on a malevolent motive, etc. The point is, the confirmation-biased Hillary fan will not listen and will not debate because whatever the issue, it is already discredited and invalid.
The first rule in establishing a formal argument is that both sides must agree to disagree. The confirmation-biased party is not agreeing to disagree, the confirmation-biased party is determined to deflect, repress and subdue by any means possible. That is why you never, ever see an informative, liberal panelist. Liberalism is the triumph of feelings over reality and anyone who isn’t “simpatico” with the love and energy emanating from the liberal issue is vile.
To recap, the Hillary fans do not believe anything that is negative about Hillary because doing so messes with their pre-existing points of view and belief systems. Hillary’s fans, if you will, form a faith that is based on confidence, loyalty, and fidelity to her and they are bonded with her through what they perceive as shared ideals.
When Andrew Breitbart started his crusade, he was adamant that a major part of successfully turning the country around would involve a change in the popular culture. The conservative principles of responsibility, integrity, balance, moderation, truthfulness, duty, loyalty, kindness, diligence, and fortitude have all but been entirely lost in the main stream media, the universities, and popular beliefs, values and culture.
Situation ethicist, Joseph Fletcher posited that “the morality of an act is a function of the state (nature) of the system at the time it is performed.” As much as I loathe situation ethics, it is important to understand that liberals of today know no other type of ethics and, therefore, Fletcher’s definition is accurate in today’s culture. Stated differently, morality is whatever the majority of the cultural whim deigns it to be. If this is the popular thinking (and it is), then responsibility, integrity, balance, moderation, truthfulness, duty, loyalty, diligence and fortitude are all relative to the situation and the local mood of the times (zeitgeist.) A cultural environment such as this makes everything insubstantial and nothing is grounded in certainty.
We have a societal prohibition against robbing banks and we have enacted coercive laws to punish those who wear masks, carry guns and enter banks in order to help themselves to other people’s money. But, at the same time, we do precious little about people who cheat on welfare or lobby for the benefits they accrue from legislation that favors their financial side by engaging in crony capitalism. They don’t wear masks or carry guns, but they willfully rob other people’s money and feel morally justified by the situation ethic that any low hanging fruit is ripe for the taking and if you don’t snatch it, someone else will. Skimming from the treasury is neither unconscionable nor even modestly frowned upon. Everybody does it, so only fools don’t take their crack at the money.
Our elected politicians go to Washington and become wise about how to become a millionaire by grifting. And most of them take that path. Everybody at the seat of power learns how to skim and it is not the case that they “can’t go home again” so much as it a case of cashing in on opportunities that don’t abound among honest, hard working people back at home. How are you going to keep them down among the farms once they have got used to $450 bottles of Merlot in Washington, D.C.? I don’t place any particular blame on a “representative” of the simple folks who learns how to help himself at the public trough. He is just selling influence at a higher level than when he was eating free rubber chicken and cold peas paid for by the local political party in motel “banquet” rooms back home. The local contributors who gain his attention are also playing the same game.
But note this: our government of bank robbing enablers have not only cleaned out the treasury, they have indebted our children’s great grandchildren though funny money that is lost from sight in the midst of smoke and mirrors. These people not only steal from you and me, they are eating their way through the portals of prosperity of our posterity.
So, Hillary fans are simply getting theirs while the “getting is good.” But, in reality, they don’t allow themselves to understand what they are doing or admit to any sort of generational malevolence. In the final analysis, when morality and ethics are based in depending upon conscience and the people base their values on situational opportunities, then conscience ceases to be meaningful.

If, in fact, the event was open to the public, and anyone could get in, that would be in stark contrast to events up to this point which were virtually by invitation only, so she could follow her script and not talk to reporters.
Do you suppose the fact that she is having trouble filling rally halls, INCLUDING HER OWN CONVENTION might have something to do with the change in tactics?
Let’s not forget that the mother of Hillary’s chief aide, Humadin, is a supporter of Female Genital Mutilation.
I’m still willing to ignore lots of political-dementia and face-palming stupidity on The Donald’s part as the price of defeating The Hillarybeast in November. It’s an existential accommodation, not a moral choice.

I just wanted to correct a minor error. “Allahu Akbar” is Italian for “This has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, which is a religion of peace”
You’re welcome.
So she has a radical-Islamist sympathizer as a supporter. Big deal. Trump has a former pervert congressman sitting behind him at his rally in Florida on Wednesday. That’s way totes worse, you guys!
