New York’s all right if you like saxophones (and Islamists)

This week was the most embarrassing week to be a smart American in at least two weeks. And it pretty much all has to do with New York City — a wretched hive of scum and villainy that is usually pretty boss in our book, unless it has anything to do with the U.N. or that insufferable liberal and her pink spray paint (or, more specifically, the cowards who run the subway).

Let’s start with that insufferable woman, though. (RELATED: Woman spray-painting anti-jihad ads in NYC shocked at arrest [VIDEO])

So, a lady named Mona — as if that isn’t a hint that this is about to get annoying — takes to Twitter to announce her grand spray paint jihad on some subway ad that called jihadists “the savage.” On her blog, Mona claims the title of expert on all things Muslim, and given her fashion sense and understanding of private property rights, we believe her. So anyways, lady is flipping out about this poster, so she decides to spray paint all over the words, as if that isn’t illegal. Ya know, she’s just spray painting in New York like it’s not something they cut your hands off for (she’s an expert on this shit, right?). Well, enter some other other kind of annoying lady who actually knows it’s illegal, and before you know it, homegirls are having an old-fashioned spray paint fight. The cops are all over it, arresting insufferable #1 and carting her off to Azkaban.

And we all lived happily ever after.

Except we didn’t. Because Mona won, and the board of the Metropolitan Transit Authority unanimously decided to change their policy to ban ads they “reasonably [foresee] would imminently incite or provoke violence or other immediate breach of the peace.” That’s politically correct jargon for ads they think will piss off Islamists. Yeah — the guys who are so tightly wound they blow themselves into chunky kibbles to get a girlfriend(s). That’s who New York is worried about offending.

In the words of Muhammadan Mona, “This is what happens in America when you express yourself!”

Enter President Barack Obama. Remember when this guy announced that his apotheosis marked “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition”? Well he’s got an update: Forget the next American century, “The future,” he told the United Nations, “must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

That’s right. The future belongs to moaning Mona and all her liberal buddies, and if America isn’t afraid of them (and they should be), they have a whole savage army that’s down to start throwing bombs and sawing off heads if they don’t get their way. Pretty much the civilizational equivalent of bratty child meets beatnik parents: A terrible recipe for the future on an individual level, not to mention societal.

So the next time some skinny punk jacks your scooter because mommy and daddy let him do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and yelled at people who tried to rein that child in, imagine Mona, imagine our president, and imagine that bratty child as an entire oil-rich region and that tantrum as terrorism. Almost makes us want to get a windmill, though that cash would just go to the Chinese, and that’s a whole other barrel of laughs.

Oh, and speaking of entitled little brats, remember when that campus cop was watering those sidewalk-blocking hippies protesting money and greed? They just accepted a $1 million settlement.

Probably going to drink a fifth of absinthe this weekend.

Looking forward to next week.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
