Their man is in the White House and they are feeling empowered. The freaks, the geeks, the traitors, the infiltrators, the America haters, Jew-haters, truthers, are all sharpening their knives. Berman was there and has great coverage: Immigration Rally (NYC Union Square) Berman Post The turnout of the Immigration Rally this year at Union Square (NYC) was much higher then last year where the rain may have kept attendance low and without a strong rallying cry that Arizona's New Immigration Enforcement Law has given them this year. The people were also more friendly this year and I did not have any negative 'incidents'. These are the most disturbing remarks of anything the thin-skinned infiltrator in the White House has uttered since taking the throne (and that is no small accomplishment). Obama said today that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to America's democracy. I am here to tell you, folks, it's the one thing that keeps America alive. Free Speech. This statement is so dangerous, it borders on sedition. Did Bush ever utter such a sentiment when he was called Hitler, terrorist, or hung in effigy? The most disgusting lies and smears were made towards Bush. He sanctioned all of it. Now Obama seeks to restrict the truth. This is so disturbing that it should stop traffic, let alone the presses. DF says, "it's November or never." Obama takes direct aim at anti-government rhetoric Associated Press (hat tip DF) ANN ARBOR, Mich. – In a blunt caution to political friend and foe, President Barack Obama said Saturday that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to America's democracy, and may incite "extreme elements" to violence. The comments, in a graduation speech at the University of Michigan's huge football stadium, were Obama's most direct take about the angry politics that have engulfed his young presidency after long clashes over health care, taxes and the role of government Not 50 miles from where Obama spoke, the GOP's 2008 vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, denounced his policies as "big government" strategies being imposed on average Americans. "The fundamental transformation of America is not what we all bargained for," she told 2,000 activists at a forum in Clarkston, sponsored by the anti-tax Americans for Prosperity Foundation. Obama drew repeated cheers in Michigan Stadium from a friendly crowd that aides called the biggest audience of his presidency since the inauguration. The venue has a capacity of 106,201, and university officials distributed 80,000 tickets — before they ran out. In his 31-minute speech, Obama didn't mention either Palin or the tea party movement that's captured headlines with its fierce attacks on his policies. But he took direct aim at the anti-government language so prevalent today. What troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad," Obama said after receiving an honorary doctor of laws degree. "When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us." Government, he said, is the roads we drive on and the speed limits that keep us safe. It's the men and women in the military, the inspectors in our mines, the pioneering researchers in public universities The financial meltdown dramatically showed the dangers of too little government, he said, "when a lack of accountability on Wall Street nearly led to the collapse of our entire economy." But Obama was direct in urging both sides in the political debate to tone it down. "Throwing around phrases like 'socialists' and 'Soviet-style takeover,' 'fascists' and 'right-wing nut' — that may grab headlines," he said. But it also "closes the door to the possibility of compromise. It undermines democratic deliberation," he said. At its worst, it can send signals to the most extreme elements of our society that perhaps violence is a justifiable response." Passionate rhetoric isn't new, he acknowledged. Politics in America, he said, "has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart. ... If you enter the arena, you should expect to get roughed up." Obama hoped the graduates hearing his words can avoid cynicism and brush off the overheated noise of politics. In fact, he said, they should seek out opposing views. His advice: If you're a regular Glenn Beck listener, then check out the Huffington Post sometimes. If you read The New York Times editorial page the morning, then glance every now and then at The Wall Street Journal. The Puff Ho -- nazi anti-Jewish rhetoric daily. That is what your president recommends, a sick extremist leftoid website. The leftists (anti-fascists like the UAF in the UK) have set the police aflame. Set the police on fire. This is the left. This is what they do. Look out, EU. Look out, America. The German media calls this "clashes" At worst clashes in the 1. May demonstrations in Athens, many people were injured. Against 20 000 people were on the street. Of the protests against the Greeks tens of thousands of government austerity program in Athens on Saturday several hundred young people drunk and disorderly. They threw Molotov cocktails and stones at policemen who strive tear gas. This is what happens to the "entitlement" classes and the welfare state. Is the EU going to bail Greece out? And who is going to bail the EU out? There but for capitalism goes us. The English Defense League (EDL) held a pro-freedom rally today in Aylesbury. What is not known is the difficulty that the EDL had in making this action happen. High level sources in the EDL told me that the council and the police did everything possible to thwart and obstruct the protest. Prior to today's rally, the EDL was in Aylesbury, working with the local council and police to finalize preparations. The EDL was told that they couldn't take gear and equipment through, because "the roads were going to be closed." They told the police they would carry the stuff, but the police would not allow them to use their generator. They also would not allocate any parking, and in a further assault on the basic freedoms of free men, they "closed all of our meeting pubs, and I mean forced them to close." The EDL were told they were not allowed flag poles unless they were rubber. Remember, it was the Muslims and the leftists who would crash EDL rallies and get violent. The main worry for the EDL was is the public address equipment. They needed it. After what happened at Nottingham, the police know that a large crowd that can't hear what is going on will get agitated. The dhimmi authorities are pulling this to try to stop the forces of good and the fighters for freedom in England. The hope is to kill the movement and get people to either lose interest and not attend, or worse still, to agitate or get violent, so that they can stop the EDL in the future. "We made it very clear to the EDL at the outset that we would not tolerate any disorder on the day and that there would be a significant police presence.” said Local Area Commander Superintendent Richard List. The dhimmi cops are so tough with the Brits who love freedom and are fighting for our civilization, but are scared to death of jihadists and leftists who go off at their every demo. The EDL mounted a rally of over a thousand people today, despite the attempts to shut them down. The good news is that the EDL supporters vastly outnumbered the roughly 75 UAF (Muslims and left fascists). Lots of spin and propaganda are being published about their activities today -- are yet again proven untrue. This is the MO of the leftv -- to lie, demonize the opposition. Have we not suffered the same slings and arrows here at our tea parties? The fallacious and disgusting smears by the media and the Dems towards the tea parties are libelous. As we have seen repeatedly from British law enforcement, they want to submit to Islamic supremacists. Good on the EDL. Over at Bucks Free Press: Police said the English Defence League held a 'largely peaceful' protest in the town centre, despite 12 people being arrested over the course of the day. Expect the BBC and big media to exaggerate and overblow anything the EDL does. EDL leave Aylesbury after peaceful day of protests The English Defence League protesters have left Aylesbury following a largely peaceful day. Only twelve arrests were made during the day and no police officers or EDL members were injured. Around 800 protesters turned up - with a similar number of police officers on duty in the town to make sure the day went smoothly. The protest, which only lasted around one hour in Market Square, passed without serious incident. However, in the closing stages groups of EDL in the crowd surged to the rear of Market Square against the wishes of their stewards, before police officers contained them for a short while and then allowed the groups to move out of the square to the coaches and train station. The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes. Ayn Rand It is impossible, but it is real. Yesterday I posted this: U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women's Rights. Today we hear that the US did nothing, said nothing -- our silence, affirmation. The US's tacit approval of the placement of Iran on the Women's commission is concurrent with US policy The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (order it, now) As for the UN, the US has as much reason to be there as the dancing boys have to be at the parties of their devout elders. Both are getting royally screwed. For those of you who have a hard time explaining to your friends the trouble we are in, or the fact that the White House has been ................ infiltrating, send them this story. Demand that theythink. Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict “It is.” Ayn Rand U.S. Mum During Iran Vote to U.N. Women's Commission FOX News .......the U.S. appears to have missed its chance to object to Iran's selection to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, which was affirmed during a so-called U.N. vote this week. No gesture of disapproval came during an acclamation vote affirming the Islamic nation's appointment to the 45-nation group. A senior official with the U.S. Mission to the U.N. told FoxNews.com that "there is no opportunity" to object. "That is not how the procedure works," the official said. The official said that the United States was powerless to stop the selection because Iran faced no competition -- a scenario that Iran took advantage of in the 2005 election too. Iran was one of only two nations that put forward candidates to fill two empty seats for the Asian bloc for the 2011-2015 period during a round of "elections" in which no real votes were cast. The other nation was Thailand. As at most such commissions in the U.N., backroom deals determined who would gain new seats at the women's rights body. The decision to move to the commission was something of a booby prize for Iran, which the United States lobbied against when Iran sought a seat on the 47-member Human Rights Council. The United States worked with a broad range of other countries "to make it clear to Iran" that it was not going to win a seat on the Human Rights Council. "We considered that a success," the official said. "But progress takes time in undoing their seat on the women's commission." Iran has served on the women's commission for successive terms since 1990. The Obama administration sought a seat on the Human Rights Council last year, reversing the Bush administration's policy to boycott the body to protest the influence of repressive states. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said Friday that U.S. engagement on the council helped prevent Iran from gaining a seat. "I think it's notable that many countries joined with the United States in making the point to a broad swath of countries around the world that country such as Iran, which had sought a seat on the Human Rights Council in the upcoming election next month and campaigned hard for it, did not merit membership given its human rights record in general, and in particular what has transpired over the course of last year," she said. Rice didn't comment on Iran's selection to the women's commission. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Right and Oversight, blasted the silence of the U.S. to Iran's selection, saying it is the U.S official position "to be pleasant with gangsters." "Iran is the best example. This is yet another example of that strategy. It's part of the theory of hug-a-Nazi-make-a-liberal. If you treat gangsters in a pleasant way and watch out for their sensitivity, they'll reform their ways," he told FoxNews.com. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the U.S. should leverage its contributions to the U.N. "to help produce effective, transparent, and accountable U.N. programs which can help women and others around the globe." "The U.N.'s apologists must have thought that since Iran withdrew, under pressure, from the Human Rights Council race, we would not notice this latest abomination. They were wrong," she said in a written statement. "That an Iranian regime that shoots and stones women would be 'elected' to a U.N. body supposedly dedicated to women's rights adds a whole new disgusting twist to the ongoing saga of Iran exploiting the U.N," she said. Check out my piece - the lede story - over at Pajamas Media: Free Speech 1, CAIR 0: RefugeFromIslam.com Ads Going Back Up in FL And the freedom of speech has won one, which is especially good news after the South Park debacle. The Hamas-tied, unindicted co-conspirators of the Council on American-Islamic Relations had already declared victory in their campaign against free speech, after they intimidated Miami-Dade Transit into taking pro-religious liberty advertisements off Miami buses because they offended Muslims. The ads were mine. They were the initiative of Stop Islamization of America and the Freedom Defense Initiative, the new organization I have begun with bestselling author and Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer. Our ad asked a series of questions: Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get answers! RefugefromIslam.com. This was the first time anyone offered public help to people threatened under Islam’s death penalty for apostasy. Government and law enforcement should be working to protect apostates from Islam, but they aren’t. So we are. If we don’t stand for freedom, we will certainly lose it. And Miami-Dade Transit’s kowtowing to CAIR, even though it ultimately reversed itself, shows how close we are to losing it. CAIR got the ads taken down, saying that they were bigoted. But they celebrated too soon. Their anti-free speech campaign ran into an obstacle called the First Amendment. On April 13 our ads began running on Miami buses. On Friday, April 16, after CAIR complained, Miami-Dade Transit pulled our ads. The reason? Karla Damian, a spokesperson for Transit, said they might be “offensive to Islam.”
PRO-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION RALLY NYC
A large portion of the rally was done in Spanish, and there were more foreign, and even communist flags, then American. As I have opined before, this is at the very least bad 'image-wise'. If you are upset that it may become more difficult for you to get and stay in the country, you would think that would mean that you like this country. If you did not, why would you come in the first place, and why would you be upset if you could not stay. With that in mind, why would you not wave the American flag. I am not saying that you have to wave the flag to prove your support, nor that you are forbidden to wave your own, but I can not understand why people waving flags would not wave both (their country of origin and the US). There were some people who did just that, and a few who were waving the American flag exclusively, but they were vastly outnumbered by the rest. As for the English, how are you supposed to convince people that they are wrong in what they believe in if you are using a language they can not understand? You simply can not.
I am not good at estimating crowd size, but I usually give it a try. For this protest my first thought was 1,500+. I spoke to a cop who guessed around 2,000 but also said it was relatively small by the park standards. It did not seem small to me. When the rally turned into a march (which I did not follow), my guess changed to 2000+. Keep in mind with these numbers that it is hard to tell exactly who is there for the rally, who was there because it was a gorgeous day, and who was there for there own separate rally. I find that with protests of liberal causes you generally find an amalgamation of a number of different groups that support each other but are mostly there for their own cause. This is much more pronounced then with the Tea Party Protests where you may have a few 'abolish the fed' type people, where here you have sizable sections of the protest that are from allied groups.
On to some pictures. I will start with two crowd shots so you can make your own estimate. The images could not be stitched together because to many moving people would have made it look awful. With that in mind, just imagine the shots side by side with a slight overlap for the full crowd shot.
The Socialists/Communists were out in force; not just in the number of people but in the number of different groups.

"Yes, the U.S. government was aware this was a possibility," said the senior official, who requested anonymity because the agency is not publicly commenting on it. "Procedurally, there was no blocking this."
