ALEC BALDWIN AND BARACK OBAMA AT THE BLACKBOARD

THE FREE WORLD NEEDS WHAT SCOTLAND NOW HAS: A LAW THAT BANS FORCED MARRIAGES

SCOTLAND HAS GIVEN THE WORLD MANY GREAT THINGS: SCOTCH, SMOKED SALMON, GREAT OATS, THE PHILOSOPHERS WHO FOUNDED MODERN DEMOCRACY, SCOTCH, PLAIDS, SCOTCH.

NOW THIS:

A new law protecting people from being married against their will has come into effect in Scotland.

The Forced Marriage (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act 2011 will be enacted today (Monday 28 November 2011) and provides increased protection for both men and women who are affected by forced marriage. ...

"This legislation protects people from being forced to enter into marriage without their free and full consent and extends help to those who have already been forced to enter into marriage without such consent.

"Victims are often vulnerable and isolated among their societies and it is important they receive effective and appropriate support.

THIS IS BETTER THAN A BURQA BAN.

IT SHOULD BE PASSED EVERYWHERE AND MADE A PRE-CONDITION OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE UN AND THE WTO AND TO RECEIVE FUNDS FROM THE WORLD BANK OR IMF.

FORCED-MARRIAGE IS A FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURE OF ISLAMO-MISOGYNY.

AND ISLAMO-MISOGYNY IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF ISLAMO-TERROR:

HOUSEHOLDS THAT TREAT WOMEN AS CHATTEL AND TEACH THEIR BOYS THAT HONOR-KILLINGS ARE FINE ARE HOUSEHOLDS THAT PRODUCE TERRORISTS.

IF WE WANT TO END ISLAMO-TERROR WE SHOULD START BY PASSING A WORLDWIDE BAN ON FORCED MARRIAGES.

I'D RATHER HAVE A BOTTLE IN FRONT OF ME, THAN OBAMA IN OSAWATOMIE

THE ONLY THING MORE IRRITATING THAN OBAMA'S RECENT ORATORICAL ODE TO CLASS WARFARE, IS THE FAWNING MEDIA COVERAGE.

THE TRUTH IS NOTHING OBAMA HAS EVER SAID OR DONE HAS LED TO THE PASSAGE OF A SINGLE BILL.

HE EVEN OUT-SOURCED THE TWO-BIGGEST BILLS PASSED DURING HIS TERM SO FAR - THE STIMULUS AND OBAMACARE.

HE HAS PLAYED GOLF MORE OFTEN THAN HE HAS SPOKEN TO KEY LEGISLATORS OR HAD PRESSERS - COMBINED.

OBAMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER.

LENR UPDATE

[DENNIS] Bushnell, the chief scientist at NASA Langley, said that LENR has a strong potential for a new source of energy. He was optimistic about nickel powder LENR solutions.

“The temperature you can get out of [LENR] is interesting,” Bushnell said. “We’ve had to be careful [in our research in] terms of the energetics. I don’t think there is a power [limitation] problem.

“I think the problem now is of raw courage to look into something that is new. We’ve been fortunate to have a center director at Langley that has the courage to support us to do this. We’ve been at it for three or four years.

“The U.S. efforts on this, for reasons I don’t understand, haven’t gone to the Widom-Larsen theory. They also haven’t gone to try to understand the 18 years of hydrogen-nickel [work] with really superb intellectual content. We need to get off of the Pons-Fleischmann electrochemistry and get into flow systems.”

At the meeting, Bushnell also spoke about Andrea Rossi, the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer.

“We intend to core down on the Rossi stuff and find out what’s real and what’s not,” Bushnell said. “But Rossi’s business is hard to explain other than with some kind of LENR. The Rossi stuff is probably wholly Edisonian and not totally understood, which is an understatement. But we can probably understand it at some point.”

RTWT; OTHERS ARE NOT SO OPTIMISTIC.

Obama and the Hezbollah Terrorist

Call it the triumph of ideology over national interest and honor. Having dithered for nearly three years, the Obama administration has only a few weeks to bring to justice a Hezbollah terrorist who slaughtered five U.S. soldiers in Iraq in 2007. Unfortunately, it appears more likely that Ali Musa Daqduq will instead be transferred to Iran, to a hero's welcome.

In the early evening of Jan. 20, 2007, in the city of Karbala, south of Baghdad, five black SUVs approached the location of a regular meeting between U.S. and Iraqi military officers. Inside the vehicles, which mimicked U.S. transports (to avoid heightened scrutiny), were a dozen individuals dressed in U.S. military uniforms and bearing U.S. weapons. Their drivers spoke English.
Upon reaching their target, the occupants opened fire on the Americans. One U.S. soldier was killed on the spot. Four others were kidnapped, tortured and executed.

The mastermind of this brutal attack? Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese national and Hezbollah commander. U.S. forces captured him in March 2007, and, in interrogation, he allegedly provided a wealth of information on Iran's role in fomenting, training and arming Iraqi insurgents of all stripes.

MEMO TO OBAMA : GOVERNMENT SPENDING IS TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS

• GOVERNMENTS TAKE MONEY PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE HAVE EARNED. AND GIVE IT TO WHOEVER THE CAREER POLITICIANS AND THEIR CRONIES DEEM "WORTHIER."

• THAT'S TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS.

SO, MR. OBAMA, WHEN YOU CRITICIZE "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS" YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

OBAMA'S KANSAS SPEECH: PURE STRAW-MAN BS

OBAMA'S UNGTEENTH STRAW MAN SPEECH:

Now, in the midst of this debate, there are some who seem to be suffering from a kind of collective amnesia. After all that’s happened, after the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, they want to return to the same practices that got us into this mess.

In fact, they want to go back to the same policies that have stacked the deck against middle-class Americans for too many years.

Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules.

Well, I’m here to say they are wrong.

WHO THE EFF IS HE DESCRIBING!?

IT AIN'T THE TEA PARTY! AND IT AIN'T THE GOP!

WHAT CAUSED THE CURRENT CRISIS WASN'T GREED OR "TRICKLE DON ECONOMICS".

IT WAS LIBERAL HOUSING/BANKING POLICIES THAT CREATED ALL THE WORTHLESS HOUSING DEBT AND INFLATED THE HOUSING BUBBLE THAT INEVITABLY BURST.

IT WAS SOCIALISM - JUST LIKE IN GREECE AND SPAIN AND THE REST OF THE EUROPEAN NATIONS STRANGLED BY THEIR SOVEREIGN DEBT.

OUR PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE:

KEEP THE FINGERS OF THE CAREER POLITICIANS AND THEIR CRONIES AND THEIR LOBBYIST PALS - OUT OF THE ECONOMY.

AND THAT MEANS THE FINGERS OF LEFT-WING CROOKS LIKE OBAMA AND BLAGOJEVICH AND REZKO AND SOLYNDRA AND BARNEY FRANK.

WHAT SCREWED THE MIDDLE-CLASS WAS THE LEFT-WING SOCIAL-ENGINEERING, NOT LAISSEZ FAIRE POLICIES AND NOT TRICKLE DOWN POLICIES AND NOT CONSERVATIVE POLICIES.

OBAMA CAN ONLY WIN A DEBATE AGAINST A STRAW MAN.

EGYPT NO LONGER AN ALLY, IF THEY EVER TRULY WERE

Caroline Glick writes about the dark reality taking shape under Egypt's election:

With vote tallies in for Egypt's first round of parliamentary elections in it is abundantly clear that Egypt is on the fast track to becoming a totalitarian Islamic state. The first round of voting took place in Egypt's most liberal, cosmopolitan cities. And still the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists received more than 60 percent of the vote. Run-off elections for 52 seats will by all estimates increase their representation.

And then in the months to come, Egyptian voters in the far more Islamist Nile Delta and Sinai will undoubtedly provide the forces of jihadist Islam with an even greater margin of victory.

Until the US-supported overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt served as the anchor of the US alliance system in the Arab world. The Egyptian military is US-armed, US-trained and US-financed.

The Suez Canal is among the most vital waterways in the world for the US Navy and the global economy.

Due to Mubarak's commitment to stemming the tide of jihadist forces that threatened his regime, under his rule Egypt served as a major counter-terror hub in the US-led war against international jihad.

Not so fast. Didn't he help the terrorists who hijacked the Achille Lauro? And what that article says about his sharing Israel's contempt for Yasir Arafat shouldn't be taken at face value. Though the following does sound accurate:

He [Mubarak] would tolerate – some say encourage—vicious anti-Semitism in the state-controlled media and from his own government to deflect criticism of his regime. When asked about it, he would say Egyptians need to be able to let off steam (translation: better they vent their anger on Israel than on me).

And under his rulership, Egypt experienced chilling sexual assaults. Why should we consider him a true ally, if anything? If he couldn't or wouldn't try to reform the country he was in charge of, he didn't accomplish anything.

And that's why in the long term, "peace" with Egypt can only be considered a failure - because those in charge made no genuine attempt to improve the cultural mindset or change it away from the Religion of Peace to better ideals.

Paul Krugman’s big government prescription for Europe proves that US liberals are stuck in a time warp

All over Europe governments have begun to implement austerity measures in an effort to rein in spending and reduce crippling budget deficits. It is hard to find a major European leader these days still advocating the kind of large-scale stimulus spending championed by the Obama Administration in the United States over the past three years. Ironically, the most vocal supporters of greater government spending in the EU can be found today in America.
In yet another hectoring New York Times piece last week on the European financial crisis (a follow-up to his November 10 article “Legends of the Fail”), imaginatively entitled “Killing the Euro”, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman attacked “deficit scolds and inflation obsessives”, completely dismissing the idea that the EU debt disaster has anything to do with out-of-control spending:
How did things go so wrong? The answer you hear all the time is that the euro crisis was caused by fiscal irresponsibility. Turn on your TV and you’re very likely to find some pundit declaring that if America doesn’t slash spending we’ll end up like Greece. Greeeeeece!
But the truth is nearly the opposite. Although Europe’s leaders continue to insist that the problem is too much spending in debtor nations, the real problem is too little spending in Europe as a whole. And their efforts to fix matters by demanding ever harsher austerity have played a major role in making the situation worse.

JOOZE AND EVANGELICALS SLAUGHTER 58 SHIITES IN AFGHANISTAN

OH. SORRY. IT WAS INTERNECINE/SECTARIAN VIOLENCE: THEY WERE SLAUGHTERED BY OTHER MUSLIMS.

MORE:

At least 58 people were killed and scores wounded after bombers struck Shiite religious observances on Tuesday in three cities, detonating explosives amid crowds of worshippers in the first such sectarian attacks in a decade of war in Afghanistan.

...While Afghanistan’s Shiite minority community, mostly ethnic Hazaras, were savagely discriminated against during the years of Taliban rule, they had not been singled out for attack during the current insurgency. Unlike neighboring Pakistan, where sectarian violence is rampant between Shiite and Sunni groups, there had been little such conflict in Afghanistan.

Ashura is the day on which Shiite Muslims honor the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Although it has long been a public holiday in Afghanistan, ceremonies were more visible this year than in the past.

How Much Does Happiness Cost?

The great Spiritual Leaders of History (Jesus, David, Isaiah, the Buddha, etc.) have taught that Happiness (Joy, Peace, Love) does not have a worldly cost associated with it; that it comes from within; from an encounter with a Spirit greater than oneself.

The ideas of these great Spiritual Leaders have influenced Philosophers and Political thinkers for thousands of years. The great Civilizations of Europe, the Americas, and Asia have been built upon these ideas ideas. And these ideas have blossomed into the dominant political ideologies of Representative Democracy and the protection of Human Rights (including the right to the own the product of one's labor.)

There are two other Political Ideologies which struggle for dominance in our world. These two Political Ideologies do not believe that Happiness comes from within. Instead, both believe that if someone else has something one wants, the solution is to take it from that person.

Mohammed and Karl Marx both developed Religio-Political Ideologies which teach their adherents it is ok to confiscate the products of another's labor as booty. Both political ideologies are repressive of Freedom and Human Rights. Both detest open Democracy.

The struggle between Freedom and Oppression (Totalitarianism) is an eternal Spiritual struggle. It resides in the heart of man, and it manifests itself in the world we create.

It's ours to choose. How much will you pay for your God-given Right to Happiness?

"TEBOWING": ANTI-CHRISTIAN OR JUST UNSPORTSMANLIKE?

TEBOWING DESCRIBED HERE.

MY TAKE:

A true sportsman doesn't make any unusual display after scoring - because he expects to score and because any display would be unsportsmanlike - no matter whether it's a dance or a simple humble bow-down to the Creator.

That's why I'd like to see all such displays penalized and I'd like to return to sportsmanship - no fist-pumping, no spiking, no nothing.

ISLAMOFASCIST RAPE WAVE IN NORWAY

More news on what multiculturalism has brought upon Europe, and in Norway, all the local government can think of doing is stooping to anti-semitism to avoid the serious subjects:

After a police report in Oslo said that Muslims were raping Norwegian women out of a religious conviction that this was the proper thing to do, a stormy public debate erupted, reports Bello, and "the government ministers, most of them avowed anti-Semites, claimed that the report and its publication serve Israel and its policy of occupation."

Norway's justice minister defended the police report but also said that "Israel must be glad to hear about it."

What that man says is truly disgusting. No, we are NOT happy to hear of this horror at all. Sexual violence in any part of the world serves no good purpose at all. On the other hand, one can only wonder what those inmates running the asylum in Viking-land must think...

JUST SUBSTITUTE THE WORD ISLAMIST FOR SOVIET AND HER SPEECH IS TRUER NOW THAN EVER.

AND OF COURSE - BECAUSE LEFT-WING POLICIES OF APPEASEMENT ARE ALWAYS BAD, HER CRITIQUE OF THE CARTER/MONDALE IS AN ACCURATE INDICTMENT OF OBAMA AND BIDEN.

Text:

Thank you very much for that warm welcome. Thank you for inviting me.

This is the first Republican Convention I have ever attended. I am grateful that you should invite me, a lifelong Democrat. On the other hand, I realize that you are inviting many lifelong Democrats to join this common cause.

I want to begin tonight by quoting the speech of the president whom I very greatly admire, Harry Truman, who once said to the Congress:

"The United States has become great because we, as a people, have been able to work together for great objectives even while differing about details."

He continued: "The elements of our strength are many. They include our democratic government, our economic system, our great natural resources. But, the basic source of our strength is spiritual. We believe in the dignity of man."

That's the way Democratic presidents and presidential candidates used to talk about America. These were the men who developed NATO, who developed the Marshall Plan, who devised the Alliance for Progress.

They were not afraid to be resolute nor ashamed to speak of America as a great nation. They didn't doubt that we must be strong enough to protect ourselves and to help others.

They didn't imagine that America should depend for its very survival on the promises of its adversaries. They happily assumed the responsibilities of freedom. I am not alone in noticing that the San Francisco Democrats took a very different approach.

A recent article in The New York Times noted that "the foreign policy line that emerged from the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco is a distinct shift from the policies of such [Democratic] presidents as Harry S Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson."

I agree.

I shall speak tonight of foreign affairs even though the other party's convention barely touched the subject.

When the San Francisco Democrats treat foreign affairs as an afterthought, as they did, they behaved less like a dove or a hawk than like an ostrich - convinced it would shut out the world by hiding its head in the sand.

Today, foreign policy is central to the security, to the freedom, to the prosperity, even to the survival of the United States. And our strength, for which we make many sacrifices, is essential to the independence and freedom of our allies and our friends.

Ask yourself:

• What would become of Europe if the United States withdrew?
• What would become of Africa if Europe fell under Soviet domination?
• What would become of Europe if the Middle East came under Soviet control?
• What would become of Israel, if surrounded by Soviet client states?
• What would become of Asia if the Philippines or Japan fell under Soviet domination?
• What would become of Mexico if Central America became a Soviet satellite?
• What then could the United States do?

These are questions the San Francisco Democrats have not answered. These are questions they haven't even asked.

The United States cannot remain an open, democratic society if we are left alone - a garrison state in a hostile world.

We need independent nations with whom to trade, to consult and cooperate.

We need friends and allies with whom to share the pleasures and the protection of our civilization.

We cannot, therefore, be indifferent to the subversion of others' independence or to the development of new weapons by our adversaries or of new vulnerabilities by our friends.

The last Democratic administration did not seem to notice much, or care much or do much about these matters. And at home and abroad, our country slid into real deep trouble. North and South, East and West, our relations deteriorated. The Carter administration's motives were good, but their policies were inadequate, uninformed and mistaken.

They made things worse, not better. Those who had least, suffered most.

Poor countries grew poorer. Rich countries grew poorer, too. The United States grew weaker. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union grew stronger.

The Carter administration's unilateral "restraint" in developing and deploying weapon systems was accompanied by an unprecedented Soviet buildup, military and political. The Soviets, working on the margins and through the loopholes of SALT I, developed missiles of stunning speed and accuracy and targeted the cities of our friends in Europe.

They produced weapons capable of wiping out our land-based missiles.

And then, feeling strong, the Soviet leaders moved with boldness and skill to exploit their new advantages. Facilities were completed in Cuba during those years that permit Soviet nuclear submarines to roam our coasts, that permit planes to fly reconnaissance missions over the eastern United States, and that permit Soviet electronic surveillance to monitor our telephone calls and our telegrams.

Those were the years the Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran, while in Nicaragua and Sandanista developed a one-party dictatorship based on the Cuban model. From the fall of Saigon in 1975 'til January 1981, Soviet influence expanded dramatically into Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique, South Yemen, Libya, Syria, Aden, Congo, Madagascar, Seychelles, Nicaragua, and Grenada.

Soviet block forces and advisers sought to guarantee what they called the "irreversibility" of their newfound influence and to stimulate insurgencies in a dozen other places.

During this period, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, murdered its president and began a ghastly war against the Afghan people.

The American people were shocked by these events.

We were greatly surprised to learn of our diminished economic and military strength.

We were demoralized by the treatment of our hostages in Iran.

And we were outraged by harsh attacks on the United States in the United Nations.

As a result, we lost confidence in ourselves and in our government.

Jimmy Carter looked for an explanation for all these problems and thought he found it in the American people.

But the people knew better.

It wasn't malaise we suffered from; it was Jimmy Carter - and Walter Mondale.

And so, in 1980, the American people elected a very different president.

The election of Ronald Reagan marked an end to the dismal period of retreat and decline.

His inauguration, blessed by the simultaneous release of our hostages, signaled an end to the most humiliating episode in our national history.

The inauguration of President Reagan signaled a reaffirmation of historic American ideals.

Ronald Reagan brought to the presidency confidence in the American experience.

Confidence in the legitimacy and success of American institutions.

Confidence in the decency of the American people.

And confidence in the relevance of our experience to the rest of the world.

That confidence has proved contagious.

Our nation's subsequent recovery in domestic and foreign affairs, the restoration of military and economic strength has silenced the talk of inevitable American decline and reminded the world of the advantages of freedom. President Reagan faced a stunning challenge and he met it.

In the 3 1/2 years since his inauguration, the United States has grown stronger, safer, more confident, and we are at peace.

The Reagan administration has restored the American economy.

It is restoring our military strength.

It has liberated the people of Grenada from terror and tyranny.

With NATO, it has installed missiles to defend the cities of Europe.

The Reagan administration has prevented the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations. It has developed flexible new forms of international cooperation with which to deal with new threats to world order. The Reagan administration has given more economic assistance to developing countries than any other administration or any other government, and has encouraged the economic freedom needed to promote self-sustaining economic growth.

The Reagan administration has helped to sustain democracy and encourage its development elsewhere. And at each step of the way, the same people who were responsible for America's decline have insisted that the president's policies would fail.

They said we could never deploy missiles to protect Europe's cities. But today Europe's cities enjoy that protection. They said it would never be possible to hold an election in El Salvador because the people were too frightened and the country too disorganized.

But the people of El Salvador proved them wrong, and today President Napoleon Duarte has impressed the democratic world with his skillful, principled leadership.

They said we could not use America's strength to help others - Sudan, Chad, Central America, the Gulf states, the Caribbean nations - without being drawn into war. But we have helped others resist Soviet, Libyan, Cuban subversion, and we are at peace.

They said that saving Grenada from terror and totalitarianism was the wrong thing to do - they didn't blame Cuba or the communists for threatening American students and murdering Grenadians - they blamed the United States instead.

But then, somehow, they always blame America first.

When our Marines, sent to Lebanon on a multinational peacekeeping mission with the consent of the United States Congress, were murdered in their sleep, the "blame America first crowd" didn't blame the terrorists who murdered the Marines, they blamed the United States.

But then, they always blame America first.

When the Soviet Union walked out of arms control negotiations, and refused even to discuss the issues, the San Francisco Democrats didn't blame Soviet intransigence. They blamed the United States.

But then, they always blame America first.

When Marxist dictators shoot their way to power in Central America, the San Francisco Democrats don't blame the guerrillas and their Soviet allies, they blame United States policies of 100 years ago.

But then, they always blame America first.

The American people know better.

They know that Ronald Reagan and the United States didn't cause Marxist dictatorship in Nicaragua, or the repression in Poland, or the brutal new offensives in Afghanistan, or the destruction of the Korean airliner, or the new attacks on religious and ethnic groups in the Soviet Union, or the jamming of western broadcasts, or the denial of Jewish emigration, or the brutal imprisonment of Anatoly Shcharansky and Ida Nudel, or the obscene treatment of Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bonner, or the re-Stalinization of the Soviet Union.

The American people know that it's dangerous to blame ourselves for terrible problems that we did not cause.

They understand just as the distinguished French writer, Jean Francois Revel, understands the dangers of endless self- criticism and self-denigration.

He wrote: "Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself."

With the election of Ronald Reagan, the American people declared to the world that we have the necessary energy and conviction to defend ourselves, and that we have as well a deep commitment to peace.

And now, the American people, proud of our country, proud of our freedom, proud of ourselves, will reject the San Francisco Democrats and send Ronald Reagan back to the White House.

Thank you very much.

EGYPT'S ELECTION RESULTS PIT THE 7TH CENTURY AGAINST THE 12TH CENTURY

The unexpected electoral success of the Salafis — reported to have won about 25 percent of the votes in the first round of the elections, second only to the roughly 40 percent for the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party — is terrifying Egyptian liberals and troubling the West. But their new clout is also presenting a challenge to the Muslim Brotherhood, in part by plunging it into a polarizing Islamist-against-Islamist debate over the application of Islamic law in Egypt’s promised democracy, a debate the Brotherhood had worked hard to avoid.

IGNORANT, ISLAM-DOMINATED MISOGYNISTIC EGYPT WILL GET THE GOVERNMENT IT DESERVES.

OMG: OBAMA'S DEA LAUNDERED MILLIONS IN MEXICAN CARTEL DRUG MONEY

I GUESS THIS GOES ALONG WITH OBAMAS FAST & FURIOUS PROGRAM:

Agency officials declined to publicly discuss details of their work, citing concerns about compromising their investigations. But Michael S. Vigil, a former senior agency official who is currently working for a private contracting company called Mission Essential Personnel, said, “We tried to make sure there was always close supervision of these operations so that we were accomplishing our objectives, and agents weren’t laundering money for the sake of laundering money.”

Another former agency official, who asked not to be identified speaking publicly about delicate operations, said, “My rule was that if we are going to launder money, we better show results. Otherwise, the D.E.A. could wind up being the largest money launderer in the business, and that money results in violence and deaths.”

Those are precisely the kinds of concerns members of Congress have raised about a gun-smuggling operation known as Fast and Furious, in which agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed people suspected of being low-level smugglers to buy and transport guns across the border in the hope that they would lead to higher-level operatives working for Mexican cartels. After the agency lost track of hundreds of weapons, some later turned up in Mexico; two were found on the United States side of the border where an American Border Patrol agent had been shot to death.

Former D.E.A. officials rejected comparisons between letting guns and money walk away. Money, they said, poses far less of a threat to public safety. And unlike guns, it can lead more directly to the top ranks of criminal organizations.

EITHER OBAMA IS LEADING AN ADMINISTRATION OF NARCO-TERRORISTS, OR THEY ARE THE MOST STUPID BUNCH OF LEFT-WING ANTI-GUN-NUTS OF ALL TIME.

EVEN MORE PROOF HUNTSMAN IS OBAMA'S STALKING HORSE: WHITMAN OF AMERICANS ELECT ENDORSES HIM FOR 3RD PARTY RUN

HOT AIR:

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman seems to have picked up a new fan in the person of former New Jersey Governor and EPA chief (under George W. Bush) Christine Todd Whitman. Seeing Whitman jumping in for something (or somebody) outside the conservative mainstream is nothing unusual, and this is no exception. She’s not necessarily pushing for Huntsman to get the GOP nod, but rather for her new, third party initiative.

Former New Jersey Gov. Christie Todd Whitman, who is leading a group to draft a third-party presidential candidate, is encouraging Jon Huntsman to make an independent bid for the White House.

“I would hope he would do it, frankly. He’s someone that I would support,” Whitman said Friday in an interview with POLITICO.

Whitman, a Republican, said a third-party effort by Huntsman is the way to go because she believes it’s unlikely he has much of shot at the GOP nomination. “I don’t see that kind of traction unless he can pull off a surprise in New Hampshire, where independents are allowed to vote,” she said.

Whitman is a board member for Americans Elect, an initiative to get a third party candidate directly selected by independents around the country on the ballot in all fifty states.

"I TOLD YOU SO" - LIKE A DOZEN TIMES.

ABOUT HUNTSMAN AND AMERICANS ELECT.

BEFORE ANYONE ELSE ANYWHERE.

NY CD 26 SHOWED THE DEMOCRATS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN WIN: GET A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO DRAIN AWAY 3-5% OF THE GOP/ANTI-DEM VOTE.

I BELIEVE HUNTSMAN HAS PLANNED ON THIS FROM THE VERY START.

WE HAVE TO SLAM OBAMA DOWN BELOW 40% IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS ROUTE POINTLESS.

WHOSE DUMB IDEA WAS IT TO CONCEIVE THIS KIND OF CAMPAIGN FOR IMMIGRATION?

The Israeli immigration ministry caused quite an offense with an advertising campaign that made it sound like American Jews aren't worth marrying:

The Israeli government withdrew an ad campaign Friday after a rare backlash from major U.S. Jewish groups for appearing to urge expatriates not to marry American Jews or raise children in the United States.

The ads struck a nerve in a community that has long debated the nature of the Jewish identity and struggled with issues of assimilation, intermarriage and tensions between religious and secular Jews.

The first ad showed a young Israeli woman wincing after her American boyfriend mistakes candles and music marking Israel's solemn memorial day for a romantic night in.

A narrator intoned: "They will always remain Israelis. Their partners won't always understand what that means. Help them return to Israel."

A second ad showed shock flashing across the faces of a pair of Israeli grandparents when their granddaughter shouted "Christmas" in English when asked what holiday she was celebrating during a video chat.

This time the narrator said: "They will always remain Israelis. Their children won't."

The ad campaign, which also included billboards in Hebrew urging Israelis to come home before their children started calling them "Daddy" instead of the Hebrew term "Abba", rippled through social media sites and was picked up by the Jewish Channel and a number of influential blogs.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the ads be pulled "immediately" and a statement released by the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, said the premier "deeply values the American Jewish community."

Ambassador Oren issued an apology for "any offence" caused by the ads, noting that while the campaign had the "laudable" aim of encouraging Israelis to return home it "did not take into account American Jewish sensibilities."

It was also conducted "without the knowledge or approval of the prime minister's office or of the Israeli embassy in Washington," he said after the ads triggered outrage.

To imply that Jewish Americans are terminally stupid that they don't understand anything deriving from Jewish traditions and customs is not only absurd and far reaching, it's also taking a serious risk of alienation. As though there aren't enough problems already, even here, between religious/secular, Hasidic/non-Hasidic, that the right has finally begun to try and fix.

Biggest question in all this affair is: who conceived and greenlighted this ad campaign, and will the perpetrators be held accountable for their actions?

As reprehensible as this ad campaign was, and I'm glad to see it was pulled, there's one voice in all this who's not fit to criticize the Israeli government: Jeffrey Goldberg, who said:

"I don't think I have ever seen a demonstration of Israeli contempt for American Jews as obvious as these ads," wrote Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic magazine.

Pardon? Last year, Goldberg did something pretty offensive himself, which was to call on people not to donate to the JNF following their campaign for relief funds after a forest fire that appears to have been arson. According to Rob Miller:

Goldberg urges people not to donate, because after all, those Rich Jew Boys have plenty of money, and besides, it’s all their own fault anyway for not having their fire services up to Goldberg’s standards, him being an expert and all.

Donate to Haiti, to Muslims in East Asia hit by tsunamis, to the ‘Palestinians’ for no apparent reason, to every other disaster under the sun, fine. But Israel? No way, not according to Goldberg. And the fact that he singles Israel out for special treatment … well, there’s a word for that.

Israel’s fire fighting services were more than adequate for years until they were suddenly hit with a number of fires the country had never experienced before where arson is suspected apparently doesn’t interest him in the least.

Jeff Dunetz has more on that here. I don't think I've ever seen a demonstration of contempt for Israeli Jews as obvious as what Goldberg had to offer, and thus, just who is he to criticize the ad campaign? Something tells me that if this were a leftist government in charge, he'd be far less inclined to open his big mouth, suggesting that his response is merely out of political bias.

That aside, the campaign was lousy, and I hope they're going to review these projects much more carefully before greenlighting them in the future.

BRITISH FOREIGN SERVICE: THE ATTACK ON THE BRITISH EMBASSY WAS STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM

The ruling regime in Iran are likely to have supported an attack on the UK's embassy in Tehran, the British ambassador to the country has said.

Dominick Chilcott told the BBC Iran was a country in which such action was taken only "with the acquiescence and the support of the state".

Hundreds of protesters attacked the UK embassy in Tehran on Tuesday.

IRAN SHOULD BE ATTACKED IN RETURN - MASSIVELY; OVERWHELMINGLY; BRUTALLY.

WIMPY COUNTER-MEASURES WILL ONLY INVITE WORSE ATTACK BY THEM ON US AND OUR ALLIES.

THIS JUST IN: HMMM: FRANCE IS BRINGING BACK STAFF FROM ITS IRANIAN EMBASSY.

INCOME GAP SCHMINCOME GAP - THE QUALITY OF LIFE GAP IS WHAT COUNTS AND IT IS SHRINKING (BUMPED)

THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS LOVED TO SPIN MENDACIOUS PROPAGANDA AROUND THE FALSE RATION THEY CALL "THE INCOME GAP".

ZBIG BRZEZINSKI AND ANDREA MITCHELL USED THIS LEFTIST MEME JUST THE OTHER DAY.

NO ONE DISMANTLED IT BETTER THAN THATCHER DID - IN 1980, IN BRITAIN:

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN ASSESS WHEN LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ADVANCING AS A PEOPLE AND A NATION IS NOT THE RELATIVE INCOME GROWTH OF VARIOUS SUBSETS, BUT WHETHER THE QUALITY OF LIFE IS IMPROVING FOR EVERYONE.

AND THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT OVER THE LAST DECADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR POOR PEOPLE IN THE USA HAS GREATLY IMPROVED AND THAT "THE QUALITY OF LIFE GAP" HAS CONTINUED TO DECREASE IN THE LAST DECADE AS IT HAS FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS IN THE USA.

• THE POOR HAVE BETTER QUALITY HOUSING - WHETHER THEY OWN OR RENT.

• THEY HAVE BETTER CLOTHING.

• THEY EAT BETTER - IN HOME AND AT RESTAURANTS.

• BETTER TRANSPORTATION - WHETHER THEY OWN SUBCOMPACTS (WHICH ARE AS GOOD TODAY AS LUXURY SPORTS CARS WERE 30 YEARS AGO).

• BETTER TELECOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT.

• AND BETTER COMPUTING EQUIPMENT
• AND MORE ACCESS TO MORE INFORMATION
• AND MORE SHOPPING VENUES
• AND MORE SELLING VENUES THAN EVER BEFORE.

• THEY ARE TRAVELING MORE AND HAVING MORE SEX LONGER AND LATER IN LIFE. AND THEY ARE LIVING LONGER.

LET'S JUST FACE IT FOLKS:

• WHO FREAKIN CARES IF - IN 1955 - THE AVERAGE MANAGER OR OWNER MADE ONLY 4X WHAT HIS WORKER MADE IF IN 1955 THE WORKER COULD NOT AFFORD A CAR OR A PHONE OR A TV!?!

• AND WHAT FREAKIN DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF THE OWNER NOW MAKES 40X WHAT HIS WORKERS MAKE IF ALL THE WORKERS ARE MUCH MORE BETTER OFF NOW THAN EVER BEFORE?!?!

• IT ONLY REALLY MATTERS TO DEMAGOGUES WHO SEEK TO USE THE "INCOME GAP" TO FOMENT ENVY AND COVETOUSNESS AND CLASS WAR SO THEY CAN GET ELECTED AND LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS AND THE POCKETS OF THEIR CRONIES.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT THE NEW SUPER-RICH - LIKE GOOGLE'S BILLIONAIRES AND THE LATE STEVE JOBS AND GATES:

• THEY EARNED THEIR MONEY BY INVENTING STUFF THAT MADE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BETTER AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES BETTER, TOO - AND THEY MADE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE VERY VERY RICH TOO.

• THESE SUPER-RICH FOLKS - THE MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES OBAMA LIKES TO TARGET FOR CLASS HATRED AND ENVY - SHOULDN'T BE REVILED; THEY SHOULD BE EMULATED.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WEIRD IRONIC THINGS THAT MAKES MANY LOWER INCOME PEOPLE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE APPEAL OF CLASS WAR ...

IS THE FACT THAT

• THE STUFF POOR PEOPLE CAN NOW BY IS SO DAMN GOOD...
• THAT THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THE STUFF THEY CAN'T AFFORD AND THAT RICH PEOPLE BUY IS REALLY DEMONSTRABLY ANY BETTER...
• SO THEY PRESUME THAT IT'S WASTEFUL GLUTTONOUS CONSUMPTION...
• AND SIGNIFIES NOTHING MORE THAN SNOBBERY AND AND ONEUPSMANSHIP WHICH MAKES THEM THINK IT'S MEAN-SPIRITED AND BAD.

THE LESS WELL-OFF SHOULDN'T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE MORE WELL-OFF PEOPLE ARE ONLY SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY.

AND THE FACT THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS RICHER DOESN'T MAKE THEM POORER.

THE PEOPLE THE LESS WELL-OFF SHOULD BE PISSED OFF AT ARE THE CAREER POLITICIANS WHO ARE SUCKING THE LIFE-BLOOD OUT OF THE ECONOMY TO SPEND ON THE SCHEMES DEVELOPED BY THEIR LOBBYIST CRONIES.

OBAMA'S ANTI-ISRAEL POLICIES NEVER STOP: NOW PANETTA BLAMES ISRAEL FOR ANTI-ZIONISM OF TURKEY AND NEW EGYPT!!!

BBC:

US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has urged Israel to "mend fences" with Turkey, Egypt and others in the Middle East to reduce its growing isolation.

In a speech in Washington, he said Israel was not entirely to blame, referring to an "international campaign" to isolate it.

Mr Panetta called on Israel to restart peace talks with the Palestinians.

He added that the US remained committed to Israel's security and would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

"NOT ENTIRELY TO BLAME"?!?!?! THIS IS TOTALLY FU*KING DESPICABLE.

1 - THE PALESTINIANS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE, NOT ISRAEL; IT IS THE PALESTINIANS - ALONG WITH THEIR ALLY OBAMA - WHO HAVE DEMANDED ISRAEL MEET NEW PRECONDITIONS BEFORE THEY WILL EVEN MEET WITH ISRAELIS LET ALONE NEGOTIATE ANYTHING.

2 - THANKS TO OBAMA, EGYPT IS EFFECTIVELY RULED BY THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD - WHOSE EGYPTIAN HEAD SAYS THEY WILL FINISH THE JOB HITLER STARTED. (SEE VIDEO AT BOTTOM VIA DOUG ROSS.)

THAT IS NOT ISRAEL'S FAULT AND APPEASING THESE ANTI-SEMITIC GENOCIDAL SCUMBAGS WILL NOT LEAD TO PEACE OR INCREASE SECURITY FOR ANYONE IN THE WEST, LET ALONE ISRAEL,

3 - TURKEY IS RULED BY ISLAMISTS - THE AKP - WHO HAVE DELIBERATELY AND PROVOCATIVELY ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THE LEGAL BLOCKADE ISRAEL HAS IMPOSED ON HAMAS AND GAZA.

THIS IS NOT ISRAEL'S FAULT AND APPEASING TURKEY WILL NOT MAKE THE WEST OR ISRAEL ANY SAFER OR MAKE PEACE ANY MORE LIKELY.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES - PANETTA AND HILLARY INCLUDED - HAVE DONE MORE TO DAMAGE ISRAEL'S SECURITY THAN ANYONE IN THE WEST HAS FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS.

OBAMA IS AN ENEMY OF ISRAEL - AND JEWS WHO VOTE FOR HIM ARE NO BETTER THAN THE JEWS WHO HELPED THE NAZIS.

STILL UNCONVINCED? THEN WATCH THIS:

The Elitists who have taken control of Occupy UK

'They've turned Occupy London into Animal Farm': Anti-capitalist 'elite' accused of misusing funds and holding secret meetings in Starbucks

They have been protesting about 'corporate greed' outside St Paul's Cathedral for weeks with an apparent goal to destroy capitalism.
But it seems the Occupy London camp in the heart of the capital's financial district is having trouble controlling its own financial affairs.
This week some demonstrators were accused of becoming 'elitist' with too much power over the group amid accusations of the misuse of funds. 
One member, 25-year-old Tess Jones from New York was accused of using donations from the public to pay for flights to New York.
She has vehemently denied the allegations as 'wild rumours' and has vowed to stay and help form an interim committee.

Danish Mozlem joining Washington Think Tank

Denmark: Muslim politician to join Washington think tank

Via the Copenhagen Post:

Denmark’s first immigrant MP is leaving politics to work for the Washington, DC-based think tank, the Hudson Institute.

The Konservative politician Naser Khader used his Facebook page on Sunday to announce that he was quitting Danish politics.

“I’ll be travelling around the Arab world conducting research on freedom of expression and the growth of democracy. It will also have to do with the consequences of the Arab Spring,” Khader wrote, adding that he would continue to live in Denmark, while commuting to Washington and the Middle East.
From here.

MORE ON KHADER:

Naser Khader (Arabic: ناصر خضر‎) (born July 1, 1963) is Danish-Syrian and a former member of the Parliament of Denmark for the Conservative Party. As a member of Parliament, he has represented both Social Liberal Party and Liberal Alliance, the latter as founding leader, until January 5, 2009. A leading proponent of peaceful co-existence of democracy and Islam, he established a new movement, Moderate Muslims (later renamed Democratic Muslims), when the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy began.

In the national elections on 13 November 2007, Naser Khader's Liberal Alliance party won five parliamentary seats. After a crumbling of the party and its membership base, Naser Khader himself left the party. Following a short period as an Independent Member of the Danish Parliament, Naser Khader joined the Conservative People's Party on on March 17, 2009. Khader lost his mandate in the 2011 Danish parliamentary election.[1]

Khader is co-founder of an association of globally critically acclaimed Islamism critics, who work to promote freedom of speech and inspire moderate Muslims worldwide.[2] Khader, and the Conservative Party advocate a complete ban on the burqa as part of an integration initiative by the Conservatives' parliamentary group, describing it as un-Danish and oppression against women.[3]

AP Shills For Obama On Unemployment Numbers

AP says "slow growth" is like the reason there was "modest hiring" in November.

I'm quite sure that if there was a net employment gain (I don't believe that either and I will explain why at the bottom) that the reason was CHRISTMAS HIRING.

From AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers likely added more jobs in November, encouraged by signs of modest economic growth. But the gains aren't expected to be enough to lower the unemployment rate.

Economists forecast that employers added a net 125,000 jobs last month, an improvement from October's gain of 80,000. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at 9 percent for the second straight month.

Some economists have revised their estimates even higher — to roughly 150,000 — after a spate of positive economic reports. And payroll provider ADP said Wednesday that private companies added 206,000 jobs last month.

Still, analysts say that while the economy is growing at a steady pace, it's not accelerating enough to prompt employers to hire more aggressively.

And Europe's financial crisis threatens to slow U.S. growth next year.

About one month ago, a report came out (on the Associated Press newswire) which indicated that America now has just as many people who have fallen off the Unemployment rolls - without having found a job - as there are "unemployed people".

The government tends to call these people, "people no longer looking for work."

In other words, the government does not consider these people unemployed.

But, considering the fact they used to work and receive a paycheck for doing so, I can not imagine they consider themselves anything but unemployed, right?

If there is 9% Unemployment and 9% "people who are no longer looking for work", that means there is at least 18% Unemployment.

This modest gain in jobs during the Christmas season which is being touted as evidence of growth is a sick joke.

We are in a Global Depression. That is the reality.

Obama must be removed from office. He is a clear and present danger to the United States, whether he intends to be so or not.

UPDATE - According to the way Unemployment numbers used to be counted, the rate is 22%.
