TX Theater Turns Profanity-Laced Voicemail Into Anti-Texting PSA | The Blaze

TX Theater Turns Profanity-Laced Voicemail Into Anti-Texting PSA | The Blaze

What do you do when a disgruntled customer leaves an angry rant on your voicemail? Turn it into a PSA, naturally.

The Alamo Drafthouse, a unique theater chain in Texas, came up with a hilarious video to inspire moviegoers not to send text messages during movies. The end result is comedy gold. ABC news has more:

About a month ago, Tim League [Alamo House owner] says, a woman was thrown out of one of the chain’s 10 theaters for sending text messages — and retaliated by leaving an angry voice mail on the box office phone line. League said he thought it was so over-the-top that it was funny. They used it as the public service announcement they play before films to encourage people to keep quiet.

“The reaction has been huge,” League said in a telephone interview with ABC News. “People love it in the theater.”

My favorite part is when she says she’s going to go to a “regular theater” from now on where “people are polite.” Watch below:

Dalai Lama to Chinese Students: ‘I’m a Marxist’ | The Blaze

Dalai Lama to Chinese Students: ‘I’m a Marxist’ | The Blaze

In speaking to a group of students in Minnesota last week, the Dalai Lama cleared up any uncertainty regarding his political views. “…As far as socio-political beliefs are concerned, I consider myself a Marxist,” he told the audience.

According to Religion Dispatches, one student questioned this statement, asking if this view of the world contradict the Dalai Lama’s philosophy:

The Tibetan leader answered that the Marx was not against religion or religious philosophy per se but against religious institutions that were allied, during Marx’s time, with the European ruling class.

Interestingly, the Chinese government as it currently stands is dominated partially by Karl Marx’s theoretical constructs. This isn’t the first time the Dalai Lama has professed his belief in Marxism. Below, watch a video of the spiritual leader discuss a variety of issues pertaining to China, his political views, and the like:

Obama’s Radical Energy Secretary Stephen Chu Implements Program to Indoctrinate School Children on Global Warming (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

Obama’s Radical Energy Secretary Stephen Chu Implements Program to Indoctrinate School Children on Global Warming (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

It used to be that the mission of the Department of Energy is to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges. But that was before Obama. Now it’s all about indoctrination and junk science.

Barack Obama’s radical (green) Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. So, like a good socialist, Chu proposed indoctrinating the nation’s youth on global warming junk science. And he’s not shy about it.

It looks like his indoctrination program is in place.
P/Oed Patriot reported on Chu’s new indoctrination program complete with instructions and lesson plans and quizzes:

PROCEDURE

1.Distribute the Energy Awareness Quiz.

2.Have students take the quiz and discuss the correct answers given below. Ask them what answers they disagree with and what answers surprise them.

3.Tell students that the environmental problem that gets the most attention these days is global warming and the green­ house effect. Ask students to list ways that everyone con­tributes to the amount of carbon dioxide and other green­ house gases entering the atmosphere.

4.Have students complete How Much CO2 Do You Spew? Debrief with the following questions:

a.What changes, if any, would students consider making in their consumption habits after doing this activity?

b.What statements can students make about our consump­tion and GHG production as compared with other coun­tries? (It is much higher than most countries’.)

c.Which energy topics would students like to find out more about?”

(This quiz goes as far as to say that Global Warming is a “fact” and goes on to use scare tactics to get kids to fall in line with the idea of reducing their Co2 output.)
Global warming has been a source of controversy within the scientific community for many years. After many investigations, it is now well-documented and accepted as fact….

Sometimes things like the greenhouse effect seem far away—the same as troubles in the oil-rich countries of the Middle East (they presently, but not always, sell us all the oil we can pay for).

Just like waste dumped at sea, these problems eventually come home—proving one of Murphy’s laws, that “What goes around, comes around.” Eventually we all must pay the costs.

So how much CO2 do you contribute to the greenhouse effect? This is your “CO2 Quotient.”

Here’s how to figure it out.

Your answer may shock you, but it should help you to see that lowering your CO2 quotient is necessary to your very survival. It seems with this problem, only two outcomes are possible: a big win or an even bigger loss.”

And, you wondered why gas prices have doubled under Obama?

White Sox Manager Sends Advice to Marxist Supporting Idiot Sean Penn | The Gateway Pundit

White Sox Manager Sends Advice to Marxist Supporting Idiot Sean Penn | The Gateway Pundit

Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen sent out this tweet to Marxist supporting idiot Sean Penn yesterday.

On Sunday, he wrote another fluff piece for the Huffington Post praising Marxist leader Hugo Chavez while urging America to withdraw its recently imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela.

Ozzie Guillen is from Venezuela and knows better.
We’re all hoping Penn will take Guillen’s advice.

Salon Editor Joan Walsh Admits She’s as Immoral As She Is Stupid (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

Salon Editor Joan Walsh Admits She’s as Immoral As She Is Stupid (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

Liberal crank and Salon editor Joan Walsh admitted on MSNBC that she “looked stupid” (an understatement) for believing Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) but that we should overlook his many lies because he’s not a principled rightwinger.
Via Breitbart TV:

From the video: In a bizarre segment on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” host Ed Schultz tries to implore his left-wing demagogue panelists Joan Walsh and Bill Press to face reality and own up to what Rep. Anthony Weiner is guilty of. During the conversation Ms. Walsh and Mr. Press spend the entire time arguing about “not letting the other side win” and Ed Schultz yells “you people are in denial!”

Good rule of thumb: When Ed Schultz sounds like the most reasonable person in your group, you have a problem.

African-American Soldier Claims Noose Was Hung Outside His Barracks | The Gateway Pundit

African-American Soldier Claims Noose Was Hung Outside His Barracks | The Gateway Pundit

Another noose sighting – This time in Afghanistan.

Specialist Adam Jarrell (News One)

An African-American soldier from New Mexico says he was mistreated and that a noose was hung outside his barracks in Afghanistan.
Reuters reported:

Racial slurs and a noose strung up outside his barracks were among the alleged harassment an African American war veteran said he was subjected to while serving in Afghanistan, according to a complaint filed this week.

Specialist Adam Jarrell, the only African American in a unit of 216 soldiers of the New Mexico Army National Guard, told Reuters on Tuesday that his complaints to superiors were not only ignored, but resulted in increased harassment.

“It’s dangerous when the only people you can count on are the people hanging nooses outside your room, telling you they hate you because you’re black,” said Jarrell, 23, a Sheriff’s deputy in Hobbs, New Mexico, who has been with the National Guard since 2006. He arrived home in New Mexico a year ago.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico filed the racial discrimination complaint with the federal Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice asking for an investigation.

“No one should suffer the kind of racial hatred Specialist Jarrell experienced, least of all someone who is on the front lines of battle,” said ACLU-NM Executive Director Peter Simonson. “Our military is supposed to maintain a professional, disciplined fighting force. People’s lives depend on it. Racism and racially motivated threats have no place in our state’s National Guard units.”

Hmm.

RADICAL IN CHIEF… Only 24% Say They Share Obama’s Political Beliefs | The Gateway Pundit

RADICAL IN CHIEF… Only 24% Say They Share Obama’s Political Beliefs | The Gateway Pundit

Uh-Oh… The Radical in Chief won’t like this one bit.

Only 24% of American voters say they share Barack Obama’s far left political beliefs.
Rasmussen reported:

Most voters still believe President Obama is more liberal than they are, while just one-out-of-four say they share the same ideological views as the president.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters think Obama is more ideologically liberal than they are, while only 13% view him as more conservative. Twenty-four percent (24%) say their political views are about the same as the president’s. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The number who see the president as more liberal than they are stayed at 57% in three-out-of-four previous surveys conducted since August of last year. That number climbed to 61% in late February. The number who view the president as more conservative ranged from nine percent (9%) to 12% in that same period.
