NEWS: Why is there no national conversation about the divorce?
IS IT BECAUSE PIERS MORGAN AND HIS ILK ARE INCREDIBLY STUPID?
OR;
WHY IS THERE NO NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON SWIMMING POOLS, THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF KIDS IN AMERICA?
AT THE EXACT SAME TIME LANZA WAS SHOOTING INNOCENT CHILDREN IN AMERICA, A CHINESE MAN BURST INTO A SCHOOL IN CHINA AND KILLED INNOCENT CHILDREN WITH A KNIFE.
CHINA HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSING OUTLAWING KNIVES, THEY HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING MENTAL ILLNESS.
BUT WHO ARE REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING THE MOST CHILDREN IN AMERICAN HISTORY?
THE INCREDIBLY STUPID MISPLACED MERCY OF GODLESS LIBERALS: WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO KILL UNBORN CHILDREN SO THEY WILL BE FINANCIALLY FREE TO REALLY LOVE THE CHILD THEY WANT TO HAVE WHEN SEXUAL PROMISCUITY DOES NOT GET IN THE WAY OF A MAKE BELIEVE FUTURE. OR:
WOMEN NEED THEIR FREEDOM AT THE EXPENSE OF A FRAGILE CHILD AND A HARD WORKING FATHER, … A MOTHER’S FREEDOM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HEALTH AND STABILITY OF THE CHILDREN AND THE FATHER.
THERE GOES THE AMERICAN FAMILY, THE COUNTRY, THE JUDEO CHRISTIAN WEST = BYE BYE.
THE NUMBERS DON’T ADD UP YOU INCREDIBLY STUPID BRIT. WHO HAS LEFT HIS COUNTRY AS IT SLIDES INTO IRRELEVANCY AND BECOMES A PUPPET OF SAUDI ARABIA.

Why is there no national conversation about the divorce?
Wed Dec 19 22:57:02 2012 · by Tolerance Sucks Rocks · 41 repliesAmerican Vision News ^ | December 18, 2012 | Joel McDurmonAmid all of the ridiculous politicization of the gun angle in the wake of Sandy Hook, and even a few calls for a national discussion on mental illness (one more back door for tyrannies, many), why is there so little discussion—or even mention—of what acquaintances of Adam Lanza are calling the turning point in his life: his parents’ divorce?

Alienating India: Obama Administration gives immunity to Mumbai massacre #savage masterminds and operatives
The railway station before the attack (above) and after the attack (below)
The last of the Mumbai Muslim terrorists was executed recently in India. Good. The Fort Hood jihadi is still on the government payroll. That is heinous, a crime against civilized society.
Another ally alienated, more jihadi horror and mass murder sanctioned by the Islamophliac in the White House.
On November 26, 2008, jihadists staged 11 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai, India killing 164 people and wounding at least 308. The carnage was unimaginable, the torture unspeakable. Ajmal Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive, confessed upon interrogation that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan’s ISI. Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital (a women and children’s hospital), the Nariman House Jewish community centre, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier’s College.
The Jews were targeted first (Islamic antisemitism is a basic tenet in Islam). According to radio transmissions picked up by Indian intelligence, the attackers “would be told by their handlers in Pakistan that the lives of Jews were worth 50 times those of non-Jews.”
In my extensive coverage of the savage Muslim attacks on the West in Mumbai, India, the obsession with targeting the small little Jewish Chabad house from the inception of the planning was shocking. The Jewish Chabad house was part of a larger attack on hotels and public buildings across Mumbai that resulted in the deaths of at least 166 people. But for the Muslim terrorists themselves, Nariman House was different. It was the only Jewish target, and the Muslim terrorists were told by their central command in Pakistan that the lives of Jews were worth 50 times those of non-Jews. The organizers had sought it out with care. Their handlers would emphasize to them the importance of killing Jews.
During the raid, the Indian intelligence services intercepted mobile phone calls between the jihadist pulling the trigger and Muslim comrades and a mysterious handler hundreds of miles away in Pakistan, who issued commands to shoot civilians without mercy. These shocking tapes reveal the sinister mind control used to turn young men into killing machines – and the casual, off-hand brutality of the men who masterminded the massacre
The chilling words of the Muslim Mumbai murderers in Pakistan were recorded during their murder spree: “Keep killing, keep killing, the dogs.’ “Insh’Allah” ‘The manner of your death will instill fear in the unbelievers. This is a battle between Islam and the unbelievers”
The Obama administration has given immunity to these savages.
“Mumbai attacks case: India ‘seriously disappointed’ at US immunity for ISI” Dawn (hat tip Tom S)
NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday called a declaration that Pakistan’s intelligence service and former chiefs enjoy immunity in a case related to the 2008 Mumbai attacks a “serious disappointment”. The Indian government has long alleged that the Inter-Services Intelligence agency was behind the Islamist attacks which left 166 people dead – an accusation denied by Islamabad.
The Indian statement was in response to an affidavit filed in a US court earlier in the week in which the US government said Pakistan’s ISI and its former chiefs, Ahmed Shuja Pasha and Nadeem Taj, “enjoy immunity” in the Mumbai attacks.The US affidavit is “a matter of deep and abiding concern”, the Indian government statement said, noting Washington has publicly said it is committed to bringing “those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks to justice”.“The decision of the US authorities in this case is a cause of serious disappointment,” said the Indian statement.The New York federal court is hearing a case filed by US survivors of the Mumbai attacks and family members of the victims against Pasha, Taj and other ISI officials.Leaders of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group, including its founder Mohammed Hafiz Saeed, are also named in the suit. India has accused Pakistan’s ISI of collaborating with the LeT to mount the attacks.The US government insisted in its affidavit that Pakistan must take steps to dismantle the LeT and support India’s efforts to counter militant threats, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI).But at the same time the affidavit said, “the ISI is entitled to immunity because it is part of a foreign state”, the PTI report stated.
