Imagine how the Islamic jihadists are going to use this as propaganda. Allen West – Facebook Post on Women in Combat, Sexual Assault

Right, because “Islamic jihadists” have no other grist for propaganda, what with all the Muslims the US has been killing lately

Also, since when is it a good look for the mighty US military to not do something because the terrorists might make fun of us?

I don’t at all feel that Obama has let anybody down. All through the 2008 campaign, he said consistently I am a middle of the road, pragmatic politician. Bill Ayers (Ft. Charlie Stone) – Morning Commute Interview

While it’s true that Obama has consistently presented himself as an ideological heir to Reagan from the start, that didn’t prevent many progressives from ignoring that and investing huge hopes in his Presidency. The excitement and rhetoric surrounding Obama’s 2008 run blinded many to the fact that he was always, in the words of organizer Eric Mann, “a pro-imperialist President”

[Hook: Earl Sweatshirt] Mac Miller (Ft. Earl Sweatshirt) – I'm Not Real

Earl’s appearance on this song is not an accident. In 2012, Mac moved from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles. According to Complex:

Last summer, Mac and his Iron City entourage made a fresh start, moving from Pittsburgh to a mansion in Los Angeles. The relocation wasn’t just about a change of scenery or savoring the fruits of his labor; it was a strategic move to connect with some of the best and brightest talents in hip-hop. L.A. is home to Odd Future, the Black Hippy crew, Flying Lotus, and Casey Veggies—all of whom Mac has been working with as he prepares his sophomore disc, Watching Movies with the Sound Off
