Are Gang Rapists in San Jose Getting Off Scot Free?

Read the article and watch the video report and decide for yourselves. The D.A. in San Jose has dropped charges against eight De Anza College baseball players accused of gang raping an intoxicated 17-year old girl at a party. The girl was rescued from her attackers by several members of the women’s soccer team, who have gone on to advocate for justice for the victim. The D.A. is citing lack of evidence which shocked the Sheriff’s department, who have vowed to continue their investigation.

With a complaining witness and at least three corroborating witnesses, I’m not sure how the D.A. could claim to lack evidence. I smell a rat.

500 Posts: Red Alerts Reaches a Grim Milestone

I was about to write a post on the backwardness of Germany, citing this Spiegel Online article claiming that East Germany’s rise in neo-Nazism is caused by a shortage of hot, young women(!?!) when I realized that this is my 500th post on the most radical of right wing blogs. This is cause for celebration, and introspection. I started this blog to give voice to my sometimes unique perspective on all things right wing, to be a voice for many on the right I know who are under represented by the current blog establishment. I’m Socially Libertarian yet believing strongly in personal morality, I’m a Reaganite, a proud product of the “melting pot” culture that has been much maligned in the last two decades and concerned about both Islamic and Communist expansion. I saw a niche for a blog like that, fitting somewhere between the Malkinites and Jihad Watch and 500 posts later I’m happy to say I was right.

How do I know I was right? The reactions Red Alerts has gotten from various groups. Whether it’s the far left, the radical right, radical feminists or White Nationalists, I’ve managed to touch a nerve with every group of people I consider un-American and in many cases dangerous. I have the hate mail and death threats to prove it. Which is a good segue into a retrospective of my favorite dust ups. A top 5 list of Red Alertery so to speak:

#5 Why I don’t support Ed brown (and you shouldn’t either) What I considered a toss off post attacking the “libertarian” groups who are always ready to advocate violence against civil servants just doing their job became a contentious months long argument with paranoid Brown supporters. The comments section is too good to miss and I’m proud to say that people I knew who were sympathetic to Brown lost interest in supporting him after seeing who they were standing with. My least favorite favorite post, if you know what I mean because while it proved my point I still get e-mails and comments on this post. My follow up Tax Law for Dummies (and Ed Brown) didn’t get the same reaction. I guess it’s the telling people not to shoot government officials that gets tax protesters angry, not telling them to pay taxes.

#4 The Pandagon Affair. After writing a quick piece on the virtual silence of American feminists on the Iranian regime’s recent attacks on women Ilyka at Pandagon decided to respond by calling me a gay, rape supporting civil war re-enactor in a feud with Karl Rove. I didn’t get it either but I played along. Ilyka was classy enough to apologize later, not for calling me gay or or a supporter of rape, but because she though that being part Black I’d be offended by the civil war reference. I didn’t think she was being racist myself, but I never miss an opportunity to throw down that race card. My wife and I still laugh at this one.

#3 Howard Dean is a Homophobe* I always knew he, like many supposedly “liberal” men, were not fond of the gays but needed them for leverage. Now that more and more Muslims and other groups with negative views of Gays are joining the DNC the true colors of Dean come out, and there’s not a rainbow in sight. I never thought I’d live to see the day when the head of the DNC ccould be called a homophobe, but I’m glad I did.

#2 The many faces of Ben Whitmer. Like any good conservative I had a run-in with a Ward Churchill attack troll after being critical of Ward’s propensity to co-opt other cultures for fun and profit. Whitmer, an adjunct Ethnic studies professor hired by Churchill, came at me with both barrels. Unfortunately those barrels were loaded with plagiarism, slander and an accidental disclosure that he cites his own work under different names to give himself credibility. Whitmer had a grand old time posting under the alias John Moredock, but once exposed his wild rantings stopped fairly quickly. I count it as a victory.

#1 The New klan: MoveOn.org My favorite post because it was introduction to the world. It’s still circulated on forums and activists like Bill Levenson and Jan Mel Poller used it as a bludgeon to successfully discredit MoveOn.org and due to their work MoveOn’s forums have been closed to this day. I played a small part in that, which still gets me a little misty eyed.

So there’re my five favorite posts that generated either hate mail or death threats (sometimes both) and I hope to keep poking the hornet’s nest for another 500. But let’s mix it up a little. My next inflammatory post will chosen by you! Here’s a list of posts I started but haven’t finished, you guys tell me which one you want to see and that’s the one I’ll do!

Here’re your choices:

A) Of Keffiyehs and Mind Control: The Left’s New Base Flirts with an Old Idea

B) The Hoax that Wouldn’t Die: Claims of Satanic Ritual Abuse in the 21st Century

C) YouTube: All the Racism, Anti-Americanism and Child Porn You’ll Ever Need

D) The Real reason to hate Michelle Malkin (his name is AllahPundit)

Your choice kids, now what’ll it be?

Linda Chavez: Just Plain Foolish

I happen to like Linda Chavez and disagree with some of the stronger criticism of her latest inflammatory article. However Chavez is right that there’s a racist in the mix in this immigration amnesty story. Her name is Linda Chavez.

As I reported here several times before, and I seem to be the only one doing so, the immigration of violent Latino gangs into the United States has led to a situation in California described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an ethnic cleansing of Black Americans. Central and South American immigrants are not just importing their “work ethic”, but their racism, aggression and criminality.

Now many opponents of the new immigration bill are indeed guilty of some slightly over the top rhetoric. I’m guilty of it myself. And indeed if Linda Chavez is talking about people like Pat Buchanan she may have a point, for while he may not be a racist per se he does seem to make the rounds on the racialist forums. While White Supremacists may claim to have no fealty with Pat Buchanan his ideas speak to them, which says something important about what those ideas are.

But Chavez isn’t picking and choosing certain ideologues to brand as xenophobes, she’s broad brushing everyone who is opposed to the bill as racists. Let me be clear, I’m for a guest worker program. The guest worker program was why I supported Bush in 2000. I’m skeptical of the idea of deporting all the illegals and I in fact think that people with enough sense to flee communist countries and work in a capitalist system are smart enough to make good Americans, but the criminality has to be addressed. MS-13 must be declared a terrorist group, it’s members and their families rounded up and deported. Any one affiliated with Mexican Mafia needs to be deported regardless of other criminal status. We can not allow our good will toward Latin American immigrants lead to the victimization of Black Americans, or any Americans, at the hands of violent criminal organizations.

If that makes me a xenophobe, and after reading Chavez’s piece I suspect she thinks it does, so be it. But Chavez, in her zeal to brand others as racists, is helping in her own way to expedite the extermination of Black America. She claims illegal aliens are making us richer without mentioning the fact they’re making poor areas in California combat zones. She calls Americans racists but doesn’t deal with the racism of the Latino gangs who are on a killing spree in our communities. She wants unconditional support for the bill without explaining how it’s proponents will stop Latino gangs from committing genocide on our very shores.

My family is made up of various races, predominantly Black. I want assurances that the Black community, my family members especially, are protected. I would accept a promise of a crackdown by the government on Latino hate crimes, but even that makes me a xenophobe as far as Linda Chavez is concerned. My concern that newly legalized Latino gang members, now with access to legal (and thus cheaper) firearms and the ability to import more of their “family” members to the states constitutes a threat to the African American community is not just unjustified according to Chavez, but contemptible because it makes me a racist.

And that kind of thinking on her part makes Linda Chavez just plain foolish.

Muslim Kills Hindu Family in California

Iftekhar Murtaza, a 22 year old Muslim whose family hails from Bangladesh, was courting a Hindu girl from a devoutly religious family who had voiced reservations about the relationship. The Dhanak family had gone so far as to forbid the relationship, influenced no doubt by recent stories of young Hindu women in England being forcibly converted by Muslim men and the general, perhaps unfair, perception of young Muslim men as prone to violence.

In essence, they tried to protect their daughter and in this case it cost them their lives.

Gateway Pundit examines the AP story’s unwillingness to deal honestly with the truth of the case. The OC Register examines the story from the Muslim family’s perspective, and finds blame with the victims.

The American media is afraid to call a religious murder by a Muslim what it is. A Jihadist act of terror designed to oppress Hindus, to make them afraid to object to their daughters marrying Muslims. This is a hate crime, and it should be treated as such.
