Alabama veteran who hired KKK hitman to kill black neighbor begs judge for mercy
An Alabama man is asking a judge for mercy after pleading guilty to hiring a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) hitman to murder his black neighbor.
Defense attorneys for Allen Wayne Morgan told U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre that their client — a veteran of over 175 combat missions in Iraq who struggled with post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and drug addiction — should not spend more than five years in prison. Judge Bowdre referred the matter to a government expert, who will review the report on Morgan’s mental health submitted by the defense.
On August 29, 2013, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Morgan at an Econo Lodge in Oxford, Alabama. He thought he was speaking with the KKK hitman he had hired to kill his neighbor, Clifford Maurice Mosley, a black man he believed had raped his wife.
Derbyshire: 'Future Of The Conservative Movement Is As A Home For White Ethnocentrism'
John Derbyshire is the columnist and one-time CPAC panelist who was fired from his job at the National Review after he wrote a particularly racist rant, and has now set up shop at the white nationalist site VDARE.
Although he has been largely ostracized by the mainstream media, Derbyshire occasionally still turns up on the fringe, most recently in a series of interviews with blogger Joseph Cotto, who frequently writes up interviews of various fringe-right figures for the open “communities” section of the Washington Times. Cotto posted two interviews with Derbyshire on another platform, Communities Digital News, this week, in which Derbyshire attacks the “mealy-mouthed cringing betas” at the head of the Republican Party and declares that “the future of the conservative movement is as a home for white ethnocentrism.”
Speaking with Cotto about efforts to expand the Republican base, Derbyshire says he is “deeply pessimistic” because “practically all educated black Americans, for example, are communists” and “white conservatives are the only people in the U.S.A. trying to ‘transcend contentious racial issues.’"
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham Links Ukraine to – You Guessed It – Benghazi!
It’s starting to become a punchline for liberals. When all else fails, just blame it on Benghazi. Nothing to make for dinner at home? Benghazi! Have a 20 page paper due by midnight? Benghazi! Feeling a little depressed after a long, dreary winter? Benghazi!
And while I’m obviously not making a joke at the expense of the four Americans lives who were lost that night, I am making a joke out of the fact that it seems some Republicans will almost literally use any excuse to blame whatever’s happening on Benghazi.
Take for instance South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham who’s been quite critical of President Obama’s handling of Russia. Graham said recently, ”Stop going on television and trying to threaten thugs and dictators. It is not your strong suit. Every time the president goes on national television and threatens Putin or anyone like Putin, everybody’s eyes roll, including mine. We have a weak and indecisive president that invites aggression.”
Meet the rebels of the anti-abortion movement
Meet Toby Harmon, a onetime drug dealer who found Jesus in jail, and his co-founder, former graduate student Russell Hunter. Along with their wives and their young children – Harmon’s are homeschooled, and he says standing outside Norman’s abortion clinic alongside graphic images is part of their education – they have given over their lives to try to change what they refer to as “dissenting from the culture of death.”
They don’t care who they offend. They aren’t interested in a political or legal strategy; they reserve their deepest scorn for the incrementalists who have crafted a step-by-step plan to overturn Roe v. Wade. As far as AHA is concerned, those guys are sellouts. But in the end, there isn’t so much that the mainstream movement and Abolish Human Abortion disagree on besides tactics.
Family Research Council VP: Obama Sending Subliminal Messages to Muslim Brotherhood
Because the Conservative Political Action Conference is not radical enough, far, far-right extremists who have not been allowed to participate there held their own event this week -the National Security Action Summit.
One of the panelist was Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (retired), the executive vice president of the ultra-conservative hate group Family Research Council. In audio posted by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Friday Boykin was caught on a “hot mic” on Thursday pitching his theory about President Barack Obama using “subliminal messages” to signal support for al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. The event’s organizer, Frank Gaffney, has accused CPAC’s organizers, the American Conservative Union, of also having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“If you understand anything about Islam, there are subliminal messages,” Boykin can be heard saying. “His message, really, I believe was, ‘I understand you, and I support you.’”
Audio continued broadcasting after the panel’s video feed was shut down, enabling Boykin to be heard as he argued that, as a result of the subliminal messages, al-Qaeda and the Brotherhood saw that “that they have a president that identifies with them, that has been supportive of them inside the United States and is unwilling to go against them.”
This is an update to a story posted
previously. An interesting point made by one commenter, "
If the US
population cares more about political soap opera than it does about the
quality of its food and its environment, then we are doomed as a
society." More than 100 groups argue against USDA poultry processing plan
The groups behind Thursday’s letter said they are mainly concerned with two provisions. One would remove 40 percent of USDA inspectors from processing lines and replace them with plant employees, which the groups called a move toward “deregulation.” Another would allow plants to speed up processing lines by 25 percent, which the groups said would increase repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, among plant workers.
No Mike Huckabee, America doesn’t deserve to burn for being secular
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Mike Huckabee said he “knows” there’s a god. And of course, this isn’t just any god or idea of a greater intelligence, this would be specifically the god of the Bible. He wasn’t done. Not only does Huckabee claim to “know” there’s a god, but that without his god there would be no United States.
There’s a serious problem with this statement. Huckabee doesn’t know anything, he has faith. Faith and knowledge are not the same thing. Having “god with us” on their belt buckles didn’t mean the Nazi’s “knew” god was actually with them. It means they had faith god was with them.
As if his elitist and shamelessly ignorant claim about the founding of a secular nation wasn’t outrageous enough, Huckabee then went on to insinuate that the United States deserved fiery judgment, or god should give Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. Excuse me? Does this sound like a man who loves his country? Someone who wants us all on our knees repenting or his magical sky daddy’s going to kill everyone? And for what? What is the horrible thing that this country has done to deserve death? Why is Huckabee so ashamed to live here?
