MARK STEYN: “KNOCKOUTS”HIGH AND LOW -Without Self-Restraint, We Slip Toward Barbarism. ****

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/364659/knockouts-high-and-low-mark-steyn

On November 22, 1963, two other notable men died, and got relegated to the foot of page 37 — the British authors C. S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley. Lewis endures because of the Narnia books (and films), but there’s a lot more in the back of his wardrobe. In his book The Abolition of Man, he writes of “men without chests” — the chest being “the indispensable liaison” between the head and the gut, between “cerebral man” and “visceral man.” In the chest beat what Lewis calls “the trained emotions.” Without them there is no honor or virtue, but only “intellect” and/or “appetite.”

Speaking of appetite, have you played the “Knockout” game yet? Groups of black youths roam the streets looking for a solitary pedestrian, preferably white (hence the alternate name “polar-bearing”) but Asian or Hispanic will do. The trick is to knock him to the ground with a single punch. There’s a virtually limitless supply of targets: In New York, a 78-year-old woman was selected, and went down nice and easy, as near-octogenarian biddies tend to when sucker-punched. But, when you’re really rockin’, you can not only floor the unsuspecting sucker but kill him: That’s what happened to 46-year-old Ralph Santiago of Hoboken, N.J., whose head was slammed into an iron fence, whereupon he slumped to the sidewalk with his neck broken. And anyway the one-punch rule is flexible: In upstate New York, a 13-year-old boy socked 51-year-old Michael Daniels but with insufficient juice to down him. So his buddy threw a bonus punch, and the guy died from cerebral bleeding. Widely available video exists of almost all Knockout incidents, since the really cool thing is to have your buddies film it and upload it to YouTube. And it’s so simple to do in an age when every moronic savage has his own “smart phone.”

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE WEEK THAT WAS PART 2

One out of Five Liberals Would Vote for Mitt RomneyHE CAN SEE CAIRO FROM HIS YACHTThe clashes over Egypt and Syria show that Kerry is going to go his own way.

JAN MEL POLLER: WHAT EXACTLY ARE “ETHNIC TRANSACTIONS”

I was listening to Greta Van Susteren tonight. She had Fox Whitehouse correspondent Ed Henry on. Ed listed some types of transaction into www.healthcare.gov that failed to work. One of them was “Ethnic Transactions”. What is an ethnic transaction? How does it fall under equality clauses of the Constitution?

Is this George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”? I am afraid so. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

Yup, it sure is. Just think of the “Knockout Games” which seem to be Blacks knocking out Whites and Orientals. Age and gender do not matter to the thugs. However, in New York, they are specifically attacking Jews. A 78 year old woman was attacked. There have been at least 7 deaths from these attacks.

The Department of Justice had no problem giving over 1,000 guns to Mexican Drug Cartels who proceeded to kill hundreds of Mexicans. Blacks aren’t killed? No problem, don’t let anyone know. The Hispanics will still mostly vote for the Democrats.

So, the Whitehouse does not care about crimes unless they are committed by non-Blacks against Blacks. Ditto for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

We have a racist administration.

We need to tell the country that it is racist.

EMMANUEL NAVON: STRANGE BEDFELLOWS- FRENCH SOCIALISM AND ISRAELI NATIONALISM

Le Figaro, for instance, wrote that there was something awkward about the hugs and mutual praise between a French Socialist and the leader of Israel’s right. This seeming awkwardness, however, only confirms that French Socialists […]

OBAMACARE AND LIBERAL CRUELTY: KARIN McQUILLAN

The World’s Largest and Most Advanced Underground Hospital is Preparing to Open its Doors in Northern Israel

http://www.jpost.com/PromoContent/The-worlds-largest-and-most-advanced-underground-hospital-is-preparing-to-open-its-doors-in-Northern-Israel-330888

The world’s largest and most advanced underground hospital is preparing to open its doors in Northern Israel.
The 2,000 bed underground hospital has been designed to protect patients and hospital staff in warlike conditions.

The 2,000 bed underground hospital has been designed to protect patients and hospital staff in warlike conditions. This one-of-a-kind medical facility is located seventeen meters below the surface of where Rambam Medical Center is expanding its medical campus to include the Ruth Rappaport Children’s Hospital, the Fishman Oncology Center, a Cardiovascular Hospital and a Biomedical Discovery research tower.

The northern region of Israel is no stranger to missile attacks and the realities of war. During the 2006 war with Lebanon, Rambam Hospital was under attack and in direct line of fire for an entire month. The staff had no choice but to evacuate half of the hospital, placing patients in unrealistic conditions such as basements and corridors. It became clear to the hospital’s committee that protective measures needed to be taken for future situations, and a new provision would have to be made in order to continue to function during wartime.

With the conflicts that Israel faces daily from neighboring countries, it was widely accepted that an underground medical facility was nothing short of a necessity in Israel. Even now, despite the “relaxation” of war within Israel, officials say it is imperative to complete this project before any other unpredictability can disrupt it.

Once the idea for an underground hospital was born, the Israeli government became involved, joining forces with Rambam to expedite this process. The project was made possible after receiving a sizable donation from Israeli billionaire Sammy Ofer. The Israeli government and other donors provided the rest of the finances needed. Once signing on to the project, the government had ideas of their own. The Ministries of Health and Finance, together with the official governmental bodies that deal with country’s preparedness, suggested making it a regional hospital, dictating the number of beds it offered. The above-ground facility at Rambam has only a 1,000 bed capacity, while the underground one will have twice as many to meet the demand of providing a strategic solution for Haifa and the Northern region in the case of war.

While there are other underground hospitals in the world, Rambam’s is the only facility that will be able to transfer 2,000 patients, their staff, and the necessary equipment underground in the period of 48-72 hours.
