Left Wing Pothead

Obviously this young man was schizophrenic, and this was the cause of his spree. However, if you have persons trying to pin this on Palin or the Tea Party… here is the beginning of what I am sure will be qualities of the left:

Jared Loughner, Alleged Shooter in Gabrielle Giffords Attack, Described by Classmate as “Left-Wing Pothead”

A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as “left wing” and a “pot head” in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon.

Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her “tweets” in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as “stupid and unintelligent.”

We’ve confirmed that Parker and Loughner went to school together at Mountain View High School in Tucson and that both attended Pima Community College, so her claims of knowing Loughner seem to be legit.

Parker “tweets” that she and Loughner were in the band together and were friends until 2007 when he became “reclusive” after getting alcohol poisoning and dropping out of college.

She describes him as “quite liberal” and as a “political radical.”

South Sudan Voting to Seperate from Northern Region

In the South you have a mixture of Christians and animist religions. In the North you have predominately Muslims. The Muslims are killing anyone who disagrees with their sharia ways and Christians and others are harassed and looked at as chattel, especially the women. The southern part of the nation has been pushing for this for some time. It will allow for aid organizations and ministries to do what they are best at, caring for the sick and starving. This is one cause Hollywood was early to in regards to the mainstream media, but late in comparative terms to Christians pointing out the genocide and slavery imposed on the Christian population for over 20-years by the Muslims. A good documentary is The Devil Came on Horseback, there use to be a free online version, but you must purchase it now (or go to the Bay *wink*). At any rate, this is good news for freedom.

  • Former Goldman Sachs lobbyist Mark Patterson taking a job as Treasury Department chief of staff within 9 months of his work for Goldman.
  • Former H&R Block CEO Mark Ernst being hired by Obama’s IRS and then writing new regulations on tax prep — regulations that H&R Block has endorsed, and that will help H&R Block.
  • Obama officials meeting off campus for official business for the sake of avoiding the Presidential Records Act.
  • And this nugget from the same NYTimes piece: “Two lobbyists also cited instances in which the White House had suggested that a job candidate be “deregistered” as a lobbyist in Senate records to avoid violating the administration’s hiring restrictions.”
  • The firing of AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin. As my colleague Byron York has explained: “The method of Walpin’s firing could be a violation of the 2008 Inspectors General Reform Act, which requires the president to give Congress 30 days’ notice, plus an explanation of cause, before firing an inspector general.”
  • Giving a car company (Chrysler) to a political entity that spent millions to get you elected. This deal involved alleged threats by a since-indicted car czar to knee-cap investors who didn’t want to agree to the White House’s deal.
