“Do It for Denmark” ~ Demographic Reality for the West
(HotAir) Sex sells, so the axiom instructs, and it’s at least true for page views of this travel agency’s latest PR effort. After hitting YouTube yesterday, the mildly-NSFW ad already has almost 400,000 page views, mostly due to the sultry sales pitch for planning a little procreation on Danish holiday travels. Noting the precarious decline of the fertility rate among Danes, Spies Travel will hold a contest for those who become pregnant while on tour through the romantic cities of Europe (via NPR):
Russia did something similar, in that it promoted having babies for the homeland because of its falling population rates.

This cute, and-at-the-same-time, awful story, comes my way via The Blaze. I love this part of the article:
In fact, so unheard of and blatantly out of step with American values was the incident they were hearing about that Marcos Perez pulled out his iPhone and started recording as they listened again to their kindergartner’s story.
I love it because it is true that it is wholly out-of-step with this countries values; and two — that it was recorded almost instantly and uploaded not to much later. How many times in this countries history since the 60’s revolution devolution has this happened and it was swept under the rug. Not too much anymore. This could happen in Deer Isle Main, and I would know about a day or two later in Southern California… someone who is totally unconnected. Awesome.

Good Ol’ “Uncle Joe” Goes Full Drama Queen
The straw-men are tripping over each-other in Biden’s presentation. No one in the conservative camp is saying you CANNOT love someone, or choose to love someone. Another issue (non-sequitur) is Biden’s assertion that hate is the motivating factor behind the view that marriage between one-man-and-one-woman is motivated by hatred, fear, or prejudice. Another observation is he says “hatred” should never be tolerated… while stating his hatred for conservative Christians.
At least he honestly professes HIS hatred of conservatively minded religious persons. Here is some commentary, somewhat unrelated — but still related (? if that made sense) — by Gay Patriot:
When pandering to a group of people so pathetically insecure and high-strung they consider their lives and loves meaningless without a stamp of approval from the Government, it never hurts to go full Drama Queen.
Two years after getting ahead of President Barack Obama in saying he supported gay marriage, Biden on Saturday called LGBT workplace discrimination “close to barbaric” and “bizarre” in a speech to the Human Rights Campaign.
Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” video from 1984 was less over the top. Has anyone in the Obama regime ever described the actions of the Taliban or Palestinian Terrorists as “barbaric?”
Again, to be clear, Biden sets up a straw-man at the same time his Prez is meeting the Pope:
As Obama Meets Pope, Media Mum on Biden’s Slam of ‘Bizarre,’ ‘Barbaric’ Christian Position on Gays
As the media boosted President Obama’s meeting with Pope Francis on Thursday morning, none have noticed how the reportedly weekly-Mass-attending Vice President Joe Biden made remarks in Los Angeles at a “Human Rights Campaign” event last Saturday night. Biden expressed disbelief and outrage that anyone’s still taking Catholic teaching on sexuality seriously in this modern age.
The gay newspaper The Washington Blade reported Biden used words like “close to barbaric” to describe the present system of religious liberty — the notion that a religious employer doesn’t have to hire (and can fire) gay activists. Biden even said “the world — God willing — is beginning to change.” He then cited Pope Francis (out of context) saying “who are we to judge?”
Biden called on Congress immediately to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, saying the lack of prohibition on anti-LGBT workplace discrimination is “close to barbaric.”
“It’s outrageous we’re even debating this subject. I really mean it. I mean, it’s almost beyond belief that today, in 2014, I can say to you as your employee in so many states, ‘You’re fired because of who you love,’” Biden said. “Think about that. It is bizarre. No, no, no. It really is. I don’t think most Americans even know that employers can do that.”…
Newsbusters at the end of the above article points out another contradiction of the knives Obama is leaving in Pope Francis’ back after a hug:
Pope Francis could have also asked Obama how House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi can be both Catholic and accept a “Margaret Sanger Award” from Planned Parenthood on the same day as this meeting. Penny Starr at CNS News reminds readers that Sanger wrote against “The Wickedness of Creating Large Families” and believed “The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
Margaret Sanger said worse than that!
Warning, Another Racist Democratic Event

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

At the ROXY: Lettuce ~ They Rocked a Packed House!
I have been to a lot of concerts in my 44-years on this planet, from Agent Orange, Madness, Tool, Blink 182, Rage Against the Machine, Suicidal Tendencies, Big Bad VooDoo Daddies, Mad caddies, etc, etc. I have to say, Lettuce is at the top of the pack. They rocked the house last night.

(Video) Firefighters Save Construction Worker In Knick-Of-Time
(More at The Blaze) A fire has raged through the AIG Campus in Houston, Texas, with a YouTube video shot by an onlooker capturing the daring rescue of a construction worker by firefighters as the complex burned around them.
The clip, uploaded by user Karen Jones, was shot from a nearby building where horrified workers watched as the man sought refuge from the blaze on a top floor balcony.
As the fire spread his situation grew increasingly desperate, with the flames drawing closer to his location and plastic doors melting and peeling off the building.
The as yet unnamed man dropped down to a lower floor as firefighters rushed in with a mounted ladder to rescue him – the worker taking a leap of faith onto the ladder just moments before the fire ripped away half of the building.
The Houston Fire Department said the fire was “under control” by mid-afternoon Tuesday, two hours after it started, with all workers accounted for and no injuries reported.
More than 200 emergency personal responded to the apartment complex fire, the cause of which is now under investigation.
The “Sage of South Central” [Larry Elder] Goes On A Tirade!
Video description:
Larry Elder was on a role today! He uses Thomas Sowell’s article, “Republicans and Blacks” (http://tinyurl.com/o6wwgfv), as a backdrop to his long rant. He lit into Democratic and Media distortions (Hollywood too) that help convince people (especially the Black community) that many economic choices made are actually harmful ones. Black unemployment, affirmative action, minimum wage, etc… this is Larry at his best.
He is the master of facts, and goes as far as politely trying to explain to a caller that blacks are more of an ideological voting-bloc than whites.
Good stuff Maynard!
For more clear thinking like this from Larry Elder… I invite you to visit: http://www.larryelder.com/
Via Thomas Sowell:
…But, if Republicans can reduce the 90 percent of the black vote that goes to Democrats to 80 percent, that can be enough to swing a couple of close Congressional elections — as a start.
Even to achieve that, however, will require targeting those particular segments of the black population that are not irrevocably committed to the Democrats. Parents who want their children to get a decent education are one obvious example. But if Republicans aim a one-size-fits-all message at all blacks they will fail to connect with the particular people they have some chance of reaching….
Breitbart exemplifies the Paul Ryan “indecent”
Earlier this month, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) responded to comments made by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for his remarks about the generations of people in the “inner cities” not “learning the value and culture of work.” She accused the Wisconsin Republican of racism…. MORE…
I agree with O’Reilly… they don’t want to talk.
