OBAMA SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
LIKE A GOOD LITTLE POSTMODERN LEFTIST, OBAMA HAS APOLOGIZED FOR THE USA TO THE REST OF THE WORLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
NOW HE APOLOGIZED AGAIN - TO THE MURDEROUS ISLAMO-THUGS IN AFGHANISTAN.
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE APOLOGIZED.
THERE'S ONLY ONE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO DESERVE AN APOLOGY FROM OBAMA:
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
OBAMA WON'T BECAUSE HE'S A SCOAMF.
OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER:
AND WE HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SHOW FOR IT.
MR. OBAMA: PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO US, AND RESIGN.
NOW HE APOLOGIZED AGAIN - TO THE MURDEROUS ISLAMO-THUGS IN AFGHANISTAN.
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE APOLOGIZED.
THERE'S ONLY ONE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO DESERVE AN APOLOGY FROM OBAMA:
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
OBAMA WON'T BECAUSE HE'S A SCOAMF.
OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER:
- THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS ASCENDANT;
- WE HAVE THE MOST EXPENSIVE GASOLINE EVER;
- WE HAVE THE MOST PROLONGED HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE THE DEPRESSION
- AND IT'S THE WORST RECOVERY EVER;
- AND WE HAVE THE LARGEST DEFICITS EVER -
- BECAUSE OBAMA HAS ADDED MORE TO THE DEBT THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT
- AND HE HAS ADDED TO IT FASTER, TOO.
AND WE HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SHOW FOR IT.
MR. OBAMA: PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO US, AND RESIGN.
QUESTION: WHAT PISSES OFF MUSLIMS MORE, ASSAD SLAUGHTERING HIS OWN PEOPLE, OR A COUPLE OF BURNT KORANS???
ASSAD IS USING ARTILLERY ON CIVILIANS IN HIS OWN COUNTRY- KILLING ANOTHER 94 TODAY - AND YET MUSLIMS SHOW MORE OUTRAGE WHEN A COUPLE OF DESECRATED KORANS ARE BURNT.
THIS TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISLAM.
UNFORTUNATELY, EGYPT WILL VERY LIKELY ELECT AN ISLAMIST PRESIDENT
Barry Rubin talks about the coming election for a president in Egypt, and the likelihood that a Muslim will ascend what's really just a throne for autocracy:
Has the Brotherhood’s success in parliamentary elections gone to its head? Has the weak international response to its ascendancy emboldened the Islamists to seek total power now rather than to go slow and be patient? It’s starting to look that way.In other words, it's a lose-lose situation no matter how you cut it. The electorate, already brainwashed enough in Egypt and Muslim by default, if capable of giving the majority of their vote to the Islamists as a parliament, are equally capable of giving more than 2 thirds of the vote to an Islamofascist. Sad but logical.
The Muslim Brotherhood has announced once again that it will not run a candidate for president in the elections projected for June: “The Muslim Brotherhood will not support Abdel-Moneim Abul-Fotouh or any candidate,” says Muhammad al-Badi, the leader of the Brotherhood.
But this is misdirection. The Brotherhood’s influential spiritual advisor Yusuf al-Qaradawi is supporting Abul-Fotouh. And guess what? The Brotherhood is going to support Abul-Fotouh “unofficially.” How? Simple: through the “independent” Justice and Development Party supporting an “independent” presidential candidate. Brotherhood leader Muhammad al-Badi now says that the president must have an “Islamic background,” and by that he rules out any “secular” candidate.
Egyptian voters who backed the Brotherhood — giving it 235 seats, 47 percent of those in parliament — will vote for someone. The Brotherhood doesn’t own their votes, but presumably most of these voters will support an unofficial Brotherhood candidate.
The Salafists, with 121 seats — almost 25 percent of parliament — will probably have their own candidate.
While this seemed impossible last year, it is now conceivable: the two leading presidential candidates will be Islamists, and thus Egypt will have an Islamist president.
UAW ANNOUNCES IT WILL WORK TO RE-ELECT THEIR CHIEF BENEFACTOR, OBAMA
OBAMA GAVE GM TO THE UAW BY SCREWING THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BONDHOLDERS.
THEN OBAMA GAVE THEM A $45 BILLION TAX BREAK.
AND THEN OBAMA USED TAXPAYER MONEY TO BUY GM STOCK FOR TWICE WHAT IT IS WORTH - COSTING US ANOTHER $26 BILLION.
THEN - IT GETS WORSE - GM HAS THE FREAKIN AUDACITY TO DECLARE THEY JUST HAD THEIR MOST PROFITABLE QUARTER EVER AND GAVE...
THE UAW WORKERS...
EACH...
A $7000 BONUS - THE LARGEST EVER.
AND NOW THE UAW ANNOUNCES THEY ARE GONNA HELP OBAMA IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION.
QUID PRO QUO.
IMPEACHABLE.
MORE CIVILIZED NATIONS HAVE STAGED COUPS TO DEPOSE DESPOTS WHO LIKE OBAMA PILLAGED THE TREASURY TO REWARD THEIR CRONIES AND UNION THUGS.
OBAMA IS AS BAD AS CHAVEZ.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
THE US AGENCIES WHICH FAILED TO SEE THE USSR'S COLLAPSE OR 9/11 NOW SAY IRAN HAS NO NUKE-BOMB ASPIRATIONS
American intelligence analysts continue to believe that there is no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb.
Recent assessments by American spy agencies are broadly consistent with a 2007 intelligence finding that concluded that Iran had abandoned its nuclear weapons program years earlier, according to current and former American officials. The officials said that assessment was largely reaffirmed in a 2010 National Intelligence Estimate, and that it remains the consensus view of America’s 16 intelligence agencies.
At the center of the debate is the murky question of the ultimate ambitions of the leaders in Tehran. There is no dispute among American, Israeli and European intelligence officials that Iran has been enriching nuclear fuel and developing some necessary infrastructure to become a nuclear power. But the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies believe that Iran has yet to decide whether to resume a parallel program to design a nuclear warhead — a program they believe was essentially halted in 2003 and which would be necessary for Iran to build a nuclear bomb. Iranian officials maintain that their nuclear program is for civilian purposes.YEAH SURE.
THIS IDIOTIC ANALYSIS IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SAME FOLKS WHO TOTALLY MISSED THE FACT THAT:
- THE USSR WAS COLLAPSING AND
- BOTH OF THE WTC ATTACKS (1993 AND 9/11/01) AND
- THE USS COLE BOMBING AND
- THE MARINE BARRACKS ATTACK IN BEIRUT AND
- THE KHOBAR TOWERS ATTACK, AND SO ON...
THE ONLY REASON IRAN HAD AND HAS FOR LYING ABOUT THEIR NUKE PROGRAM - AND FOR DESIGNING IT TO BE SECRET AND UNDERGROUND - IS TO PURSUE A BOMB PROGRAM.
THE ONLY WAY IRAN HAS STOPPED PURSUING A BOMB IS IF THEY FEEL THEY CAN BUY, OR HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT, BOMBS FROM PAKISTAN AND/OR NORTH KOREA, AND PLAN TO TEST ONE UNDERGROUND AND CREDIBLY PASS IT OFF AS ONE OF THEIR OWN, (AND CLAIM THEY HAVE MORE), THEREBY GAINING DETERRENCE AND IMMUNITY FROM AN EXTERNAL ATTACK.
THIS DISINFORMATION IS BEING PROMOTED BY THE CIA AND THE LEGACY MEDIA IN ORDER TO PRESSURE ON ISRAEL TO DELAY AN ATTACK, AND - JUST AS IMPORTANTLY FOR THE BUREAUCRATS AT THESE AGENCIES - GIVE THEM COVER AFTER THE ATTACK.
Movie attendance at a 16-year low
Movie attendance hit a 16-year low in 2011. Star wattage continues to dim. DVD sales keep plunging. Almost none of the films being honored at Sunday’s Academy Awards have struck a mainstream nerve.WHY IS THIS SO?
Yes, there is more competition from computer games and the internet, but the main reason is that the content sucks. The content is skewed to the left by the postmodern chic degenerati who call the shots.
The subtext of most movies is anti-traditionalist, anti-American and anti-West.
EVEN ACT OF VALOR - THE NEW NAVY SEALS MOVIE - CHOSE TO HAVE THE BAD GUY BE A JEW INSTEAD OF A MUSLIM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NEXT TO NO JEWISH TERRORISTS AND SEVERAL MILLION MUSLIMS WHO USE TERROR ROUTINELY OR LIKE IT AND SUPPORT TERRORISM.
When Hollywood was emerging as a powerful content provider for a new medium it was run by immigrants who loved the USA.
And even the actors were patriots:
Now, it's run by 3rd and 4th generation spoiled brats who have been brainwashed by the socialists in the NEA and their professors in colleges into believing the Four Big Lies that comprise the bedrock of the anti-West Left:
- We are the cause of Third World Poverty
- We are responsible for most of the wars and genocide in human history
- We are responsible for sexual repression
- We are killing the world with CO2
MOST AMERICANS - THE SILENT MAJORITY - KNOW THEY ARE FALSE.
AND THE MOVIES BASED ON THE THESE LIES WILL NEVER EVER ATTRACT A MAJORITY OF THESE PEOPLE TO THE MOVIE-HOUSE.
THEY WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE A COMPUTER GAME OR AN EBOOK OR ANYTHING ELSE OVER SPENDING MONEY ON LEFT-WING PROPAGANDA THAT TELLS THEM THEY ARE BAD AND THE VALUES THAT THEIR ANCESTORS HANDED DOWN TO THEM - THE VALUES THAT MADE THE USA THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH - ARE EVIL.
NO.

UH-OH: USA WARNING SYRIA'S NEIGHBORS ABOUT ASSAD'S WMD STOCKPILES
This week, the State Department sent a diplomatic demarche to Syria's neighbors Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia, warning them about the possibility of Syria's WMDs crossing their borders and offering U.S. government help in dealing with the problem, three Obama administration officials confirmed to The Cable. For concerned parties both inside and outside the U.S. government, the demarche signifies that the United States is increasingly developing plans to deal with the dangers of a post-Assad Syria -- while simultaneously highlighting the lack of planning for how to directly bring about Assad's downfall.
Syria is believed to have a substantial chemical weapons program, which includes mustard gas and sophisticated nerve agents, such as sarin gas, as well as biological weapons.HMMM... DID THEY ALSO WARN ISRAEL?
ARLEN SPECTER: SANTORUM LIED
... video of Sen. Arlen Specter absolutely denying he ever made a promise to Rick Santorum regarding Supreme Court Nominees in exchange for Santorum’s support during his U.S. Senate re-election bid in 2004. Santorum has defended his support for Specter by saying he only did it to make sure conservative Supreme Court Nominees got through the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Santorum is not backing off his claim.THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT!
USING GOVERNMENT DATA, ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECOVERY
HOT AIR:
IF OBAMA HAD A SHRED OF DECENCY HE WOULD RESIGN, OR AT LEAST ANNOUNCE HE WON'T SEEK A SECOND TERM.
HE DOESN'T DESERVE ONE.
This chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics utterly destroys that argument. The BLS measures the percentage of working-age adults currently employed in the population — and as can easily be seen, three years of Barack Obama has not made any dent in the trough created by the recession:
OBAMA HAS BEEN A MISERABLE FAILURE.IF OBAMA HAD A SHRED OF DECENCY HE WOULD RESIGN, OR AT LEAST ANNOUNCE HE WON'T SEEK A SECOND TERM.
HE DOESN'T DESERVE ONE.

WHEN Mitt Romney takes the podium at Ford Field in Detroit today, he’s likely to include yet another sharp denunciation of the government’s rescue of General Motors and Chrysler.
That Mr. Romney would traverse Michigan trashing a program that saved tens of thousands of jobs at the Detroit-based automakers doesn’t necessarily mean he’s politically tone-deaf.
After all, an NBC/Marist poll recently found that 50 percent of Michigan Republicans who were likely to vote opposed the government’s actions (only 42 percent supported them).
Mr. Romney may have the primary politics right — though with a majority of Michigan voters supporting the rescue, he may want to pivot deftly before the general election in November. But on the substance he’s dead wrong.HERE'S A REMINDER OF WHAT THIS PIECE OF CRAP RATTNER REALLY IS ALL ABOUT - ALSO FROM THE NYT:
Andrew Cuomo wrapped up his four years as attorney general Thursday by cutting a deal with Manhattan moneyman Steven Rattner over the pay-to-play pension fund scandal.
Rattner agreed to pay the state $10 million for his role in the scam during disgraced ex-Controller Alan Hevesi's tenure.
Rattner also agreed to a five-year ban from doing any work with pension funds in New York. [...]
Rattner, President Obama's former car czar and a popular Democratic fund-raiser, had been openly feuding with Cuomo and his office.
Rattner, who had publicly blasted Cuomo's investigation as politically motivated, was more contrite in a released statement.
"I apologize if during the course of this process there is anything I did that may have made reaching this agreement more difficult," he said. "I respect the work of the attorney general and his staff."
The settlement, he added, "allows me to put this matter behind me."
The Daily News first reported last year the ties of Rattner and his now former firm, Quadrangle, to the widespread corruption scandal hatched under Hevesi.
Quadrangle won $150 million in pension business in 2005 with the help of Hank Morris, a top Hevesi adviser.
Quadrangle said Rattner hired Morris, who collected $1 million in kickbacks, but did little work.
In the middle of the investment decision-making process, Cuomo said Rattner arranged a DVD distribution deal for the movie "Chooch," produced by the brother of Hevesi's chief investment officer.
Hevesi and Morris have pleaded guilty to to pocketing kickbacks and both face up to four years in the slammer.RATTNER EPITOMIZES LEFT-WINGERS' CRONY CAPITALISM.
SOLYNDRA. GM. BRIGHTSOURCE AND SO ON AD NAUSEUM - AD NEARLY A TRILLION BUCKS!
YEAH YEAH YEAH:
GM AND OBAMA AND THEIR COMRADES IN THE LEGACY MEDIA AND UAW JUST ANNOUNCED THAT GM MADE IT'S BIGGEST PROFIT EVER.

"PEACE NOW" ATTACKS THE YESHA COUNCIL FOR APPROVING CONSTRUCTION IN SAMARIA
The head of the Yesha Council sent a special "thank you" to Peace Now for the help they could only provide by attacking approval of new neighborhoods:
Danny Dayan, the head of the Yesha Council, sent flowers and a thank you card to the radical leftist Peace Now organization on Thursday.By now, Peace Now's actions can only end up providing a helping hand, quite the opposite of what they want. They'd be advised next time to just be quiet, and get a real job!
The sarcastic gesture came in response to the Civil Administration’s approval of 500 housing units for the Samaria community of Shilo.
The Judea and Samaria administration committee also retroactively legalized at least 200 more homes on humanitarian grounds in the nearby community of Shvut Rachel.
Dayan thanked Peace Now for the approvals because, ironically enough, they came about as a result of an appeal the organization filed with the Supreme Court and which brought about the process of legalization of the communities.
“Thank you kindly for your help with the approval of the building plans for Shilo and Shvut Rachel,” read the card that was sent to Peace Now. “It was your appeals to the Supreme Court which finally prompted the government to do so. We will favorably consider naming a street in the new neighborhoods after Peace Now.”

Islamist stooges attempt to distract world from Syria and IraN
Security forces dispersed hundreds of Muslim worshipers rioting and throwing stones at the Temple Mount on Friday. Eleven police officers injured by stones were treated on the scene and four rioters were detained, with additional arrests expected.
Police managed to disperse all of the rioters with stun grenades, including several youths who took refuge in the Aqsa Mosque.IRAN AND ITS ISLAMIST STOOGES NEED A DISTRACTION.
ATTACKING IRAN NOW WOULD BE LIKE ATTACKING HITLER IN 1935.
WHY WAIT? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

IT MAY NOT BE A GOOD IDEA TO ARM SYRIAN REBELS
Ben Shapiro talks on Big Peace about how GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum supports the idea of arming the opposition in Syria, as he told Hugh Hewitt in the podcast above.
But it's something easier said than done. The problem is that a lot of the opposition themselves are Muslims, and what if, like in Egypt, once they've overthrown the previous government, they too seek to impose a regime with quintuple the sharia? And what if they turn against any and all Christians in the region too? Then the US will have only succeeded in replacing one problem with more of the same.
That's why just giving arms to Syrian rebels may not be advisable if we don't know what their next moves after overthrowing Assad would be. If they too are Muslims, then we could wake up one day to discover that the only way they're thanking the western world is by imposing a continued dictatorship with additional sharia upon their country, laced with more socialism to boot, instead of emulating the concepts that the USA championed to great effect in days gone by.

RUSSIA THREATENS ISRAEL
Russia warned Israel on Wednesday that attacking Iran would be a disastrous and played down the failure of a UN nuclear agency mission to Tehran, saying there is still a chance for new talks over the Iranian atomic program. "Of course any possible military scenario against Iran will be catastrophic for the region and for the whole system of international relations," Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told a news conference. It was one of Russia's starkest warnings against resorting to force, an option Israel and the United States have not ruled out if they conclude that diplomacy and increasing sanctions will not stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.
"I hope Israel understands all these consequences ... and they should also consider the consequences of such action for themselves," Gatilov said. "I hope a realistic approach will prevail, along with a sensible assessment."IF RUSSIA COUNTERATTACKS ISRAEL... ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. AS IN ISRAEL HAS ENOUGH NUKES TO DESTROY RUSSIA.
IS THIS WHAT RUSSIA WANTS?
IF WE HAD A PRESIDENT WHO WAS UNAMBIGUOUSLY SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND TELLING IRAN AND CHINA AND RUSSIA WE WOULD ATTACK IRAN IF THEY DIDN'T ALLOW FULL 100% MONITORING OF THEIR NUKE PROGRAM AS REQUIRED BY THE IAEA TREATY AND HAVE A FULL AND FREE AND MONITORED ELECTIONS, THEN RUSSIA WOULD NOT BE TRYING TO INTIMIDATE ISRAEL AND WOULD NOT EVEN BE SUPPORTING IRAN.
OBAMA IS EITHER ON IRAN'S SIDE AND RUSSIA'S SIDE OR HE IS A COWARD OR INCOMPETENT.

Bloomberg actually defends NYPD's monitoring of Muslim groups
Via Breitbart. For once, Bloomberg has done something right in his whole career, what with his failed socialist policies to his record.
On the other hand, the mayor of Newark, NJ says that he didn't approve of the monitoring efforts in his area:
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A former police director of New Jersey's largest city says no local officers were used in a spying operation that monitored and catalogued his city's Muslim neighborhoods.Oh, is that so. Clearly then, he is not someone to trust on security issues. This is just another example of the AP's declarence of war against the police's right to protect citizens from possible jihad threats inside the US. That's very likely why they're saying the guide doesn't mention terrorism. Or does it? The AP doubtlessly wants us to assume it doesn't just so we'll all think it's a wild goose chase.
Garry McCarthy tells the Associated Press on Wednesday that the New York Police Department notified him as a courtesy that it was sending plainclothes offices into Newark in 2007. McCarthy says no Newark police officers were used in the operation.
The NYPD officers photographed mosques and eavesdropped on conversations in businesses frequented by Muslims. The result was a 60-page report, obtained by The AP, that was a guide to Newark's Muslims. It never mentioned terrorism or criminal allegations.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker says he never approved the spying and promised to investigate.
McCarthy is now working as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's police superintendent.
After Bloomberg's defense of the NYPD's chances are the Islamists in the Big Apple will be far less supportive of him now. After the way he defended the mosque project at Ground Zero though, we shouldn't feel too sorry for him.
LET'S MAKE RICK SANTORUM THE POPE OF THE GOP
THIS KIND OF STUFF BELONGS IN A PULPIT, NOT THE OVAL OFFICE:
In the speech to students at Ave Maria University in south-west Florida in August 2008, Mr Santorum, a devout Roman Catholic and father of seven, said that "Satan has his sights on the United States of America".
Audio of the speech, which was posted on the Drudge Report earlier in the day, revealed that he said: "Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that has so deeply rooted in the American tradition."
Mr Santorum sought to compare himself to Ronald Reagan in defending his remarks on 'Satan targeting America
He warned that US politics and government were falling prey to the devil. "This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country - the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack in this day and age?"
Satan "attacks all of us and he attacks all of our institutions", he insisted in the speech, and was even taking control of some Christian denominations. "We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it."WITH TONS OF CRAP LIKE THIS OUT THERE, SANTORUM WILL LOSE TO OBAMA IN A LANDSLIDE.
PREDICTION: IF SANTORUM IS NOMINATED, THEN RON PAUL WILL RUN ON A THIRD PARTY LINE.

SETTING THE HISTORICAL RECORD STRAIGHT ON FORD, GHW BUSH, DOLE AND MCCAIN
The Santorumaniacs - like the Newtnuts and the Cain's 999nuts - are fond of repeating the idiotic notion that GOP moderates always lose in presidential elections.
They repeat AD NAUSEUM that Ford and GHW Bush and Dole And McCain all lost because they were moderates - a if to say that conservatives would have won.
INCORRECT.
Let's look at the record:
Ford lost because of two statements: his NY DROP DEAD statement and his WARSAW PACT IS FREE statement. ALSO: the challenge by Reagan hurt him.
GHW Bush lost because of Perot - as did Dole; Clinton never got a majority of Americans to vote for him. GHW Bush and Dole were most decidedly the most conservative candidates in their respective races. ALSO: GHW Bush was weakened by a challenge by Buchanan. And Buchanan's CULTURE WAR CONVENTION SPEECH (which is similar to Santorum's typical patter) was a disaster for Bush:
IF... if the Santorumaniacs and the Newtnuts and the Cain 999nuts want to argue that having a more moderate GOP standard-bearer suppresses the GOP turnout and this is why they lost, then I suggest they take a good long hard look in the mirror and decide if they want to take the blame for Carter, Clinton, and Obama.
If they think Ford and GHW Bush and Dole and McCain might have been even just a little bit better than their LEFTIST opponents, then they ought to accept the fact that staying home and pouting and whining that "there's no difference so I ain't gonna vote" is a colossal mistake.
Every GOP candidate is better than Obama. There is NO EXCUSE for staying home, and any nut who says "MITTENS AND OBAMA ARE THE SAME, AND IF HE'S NOMINATED I'LL STAY HOME OR VOTE THIRD PARTY" is essentially voting for Obama.
I think that Santorum has no chance at winning because he won't get the women voters or the independent voters we need to defeat Obama. If he's nominated I will hold my nose and vote for him - as I did with McCain, but I fear it will be in a losing battle.
That's why I argue that a vote for Santorum now is a vote for Obama in the fall.
And Coulter, Ace, Hinderaker, and many others agree.
The only way we can lose is if we forget that IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID, and fail to nominate the one candidate in the field (as of now) who has credibility and experience SUCCESSFULLY dealing with these economic and fiscal issues.
That's DC OUTSIDER Mitt Romney.
Romney-Jindal or Romney-Ryan can defeat Obama - and help hold the House while taking the Senate.
That's all I want.
They repeat AD NAUSEUM that Ford and GHW Bush and Dole And McCain all lost because they were moderates - a if to say that conservatives would have won.
INCORRECT.
Let's look at the record:
Liberal political opponents of the Republicans characterized the convention as "the Hate-fest in Houston", epitomized by Pat Buchanan's opening night "culture war" speech. They considered the speech to be racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and generally intolerant. Liberal humorist Molly Ivins quipped that the speech "probably sounded better in the original German."[6]McCain lost because the nation was in a recession and he was from the party in power. ALSO: he was outspent 8-1.
IF... if the Santorumaniacs and the Newtnuts and the Cain 999nuts want to argue that having a more moderate GOP standard-bearer suppresses the GOP turnout and this is why they lost, then I suggest they take a good long hard look in the mirror and decide if they want to take the blame for Carter, Clinton, and Obama.
If they think Ford and GHW Bush and Dole and McCain might have been even just a little bit better than their LEFTIST opponents, then they ought to accept the fact that staying home and pouting and whining that "there's no difference so I ain't gonna vote" is a colossal mistake.
Every GOP candidate is better than Obama. There is NO EXCUSE for staying home, and any nut who says "MITTENS AND OBAMA ARE THE SAME, AND IF HE'S NOMINATED I'LL STAY HOME OR VOTE THIRD PARTY" is essentially voting for Obama.
I think that Santorum has no chance at winning because he won't get the women voters or the independent voters we need to defeat Obama. If he's nominated I will hold my nose and vote for him - as I did with McCain, but I fear it will be in a losing battle.
That's why I argue that a vote for Santorum now is a vote for Obama in the fall.
And Coulter, Ace, Hinderaker, and many others agree.
The only way we can lose is if we forget that IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID, and fail to nominate the one candidate in the field (as of now) who has credibility and experience SUCCESSFULLY dealing with these economic and fiscal issues.
That's DC OUTSIDER Mitt Romney.
Romney-Jindal or Romney-Ryan can defeat Obama - and help hold the House while taking the Senate.
That's all I want.
Santorum's Holier Than Thou Campaign Can't Defeat Obama
Santorum's Holier Than Thou Campaign Is Doomed To Fail
Michael Brendan Dougherty
Santorum has put himself forward as the leader of America's silent moral-majority.RTW-FN-T!
(AND YES: I USED THE TERM "HOLIER THAN THOU" IN REFERENCE TO SANTORUM BEFORE HE DID!)
TODAY'S MUST READ: SANTORUM'S CANDIDACY DEMOLISHED AS ONLY ACE CAN DO IT
Once again, Santorum does not merely not have a libertarian streak, but speaks about liberty in a hostile and disparaging manner.
Apparently the Pursuit of Happiness just means that I'm free to live my life according to religious doctrine.
I'm glad that in an election primarily about Obama's failure to create a good environment for wealth-creation -- the creation of "stuff," and, in terms of disposable income and time off, "pleasure" -- we're going to be talking about how "stuff" and "pleasure" aren't that important.
The important thing is that we're on the clock 24/7, working for God.
[...] My problem... continues to be that every successful Republican candidate speaks about the energy, vitality, courage, and creativity of freedom, whereas every time I hear Santorum turn to the subject he talks up the fear of freedom.READ THE WHOLE F*CKING THING. NOW.

Iran to take pre-emptive action if endangered, warns top general
I THINK THIS IS THE LAST STRAW. OR IT SHOULD BE. I EXPECT AN ATTACK ANY DAY NOW.
Deputy head of the Islamic Republic's armed forces says if Tehran feels that its enemies want to endanger its national interests, then it will 'act without waiting for their actions.'THIS WOULD BE ACTION AGAINST WHOM? WHERE? DO THEY THINK NOW THEY HAVE CARTE BLANCHE TO ATTACK ISRAEL?

OBAMA DIDN'T WIN BY TELLING FOLKS HE WAS A LEFTIST WHO WOULD RAISE TAXES AND DUMP ISRAEL AND MUBARAK AND PUT US ANOTHER $5TRILLION DEEPER IN DEBT
OBAMA DIDN'T SAY THOSE THINGS CUZ HE WOULDA NEVER COBBLED TOGETHER A MAJORITY IF HE HAD.

IF WE NOMINATE THE GUY WHO CAN BEST THROW RED-MEAT AT THE BASE, THEN WE WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER.

UPDATED! SCROLL DOWN! - BREAKING: EU AGREES TO BAILOUT GREECE
Eurozone finance ministers have reached agreement a vital second bailout for Greece, officials involved in the negotiations say.THIS IS A GOOD BUT TEMPORARY FIX.
The deal, which came after late-night talks in Brussels, is said to be worth 130bn euros (£110bn; $170bn).
Athens needs the funds to avoid bankruptcy next month, when maturing loans must be repaid.
STAY TUNED.
TUESDAY UPDATE:
In the latest bailout deal, Greece is to receive loans worth more than 130bn euros (£110bn; $170bn).
In return, it will undertake to reduce its debts to 120.5% of its GDP by 2020 and accept an "enhanced and permanent" presence of EU monitors to oversee economic management.
Greece needs the funds to avoid bankruptcy on 20 March, when maturing loans must be repaid.
'Problems remain'
"Effectively Europe's banks have been given almost half-a-trillion euros at 1%, very cheap money that has sort of ring-fenced the banks from the crisis. The thinking is that banks will not go bust if Greece fails," said Louise Cooper, market analyst at BGC Partners.
But she said few in the markets thought the latest bailout was the answer.
"This just puts off the inevitable. It's the second deal in two years. You're talking almost 20,000 euros per person [in Greece] in total bailout funds and even that amount has not solved Greece's problems. That suggests the money has not been well spent," she added.STAY TUNED...
QUESTION FOR SANTORUMANIACS: HAVE INDEPENDENTS SOURED ON OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS STAND ON SOCIAL ISSUES OR COULD IT BE THE ECONOMY?
SUMMER 2011:
IN ADDITION, SANTORUM HAS ALL THE "SOCIAL ISSUE" BAGGAGE THAT SCARES INDEPENDENTS.
MITT HAS THE CREDIBILITY AND THE EXPERIENCE AND THE PLATFORM - AND HE CAN ATTACK OBAMA ON CRONY CAPITALISM. (SANTORUM CAN'T BECAUSE HE IS A BIG EARMARKER WHO GAVE EARMARKS TO CRONIES.)
A VOTE FOR SANTORUM THIS WINTER IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA NEXT FALL.
The Washington Examiner’s Conn Carroll today calls attention to a nugget buried deep in the report:
NOW:Obama’s approval rating has decreased among all six partisan/ideology groups Gallup tracks on a regular basis since January, but it has dropped the most — 10 percentage points, from 40 percent to 30 percent — among pure independents. These are the roughly 14 percent of national adults who neither identify with one of the two major parties nor indicate a leaning. Obama’s approval rating has declined by nearly as much — eight points — among moderate/liberal Republicans, from 29 percent to 21 percent.
Bolstered by rising support from independent voters, President Obama has moved out to a 52-44 percent lead over Republican Mitt Romney in the latest national poll by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press.
Obama was ahead of the former Massachusetts governor by a miniscule 49-47 percent in mid-November, and led Romney by 50-45 percent in January. In the latest poll, he enjoys a 51-42 percent lead among independents.
Obama runs ahead of ex-Sen. Rick Santorum, the outspoken social conservative in the GOP race, by a 53-43 percent margin. The President enjoys his widest lead, at 57-39 percent, over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.HERE'S WHY:
President Obama’s rising job-approval ratings are the result of a go-it-alone strategy against Congress and a bitter Republican presidential primary, political analysts say.
In two polls last week, Mr. Obama’s approval ratings reached the critical 50 percent mark sought by all incumbents. Gallup’s daily tracking poll has shown slow but steady gains since the president’s disapproval rating peaked at 54 percent in late August, just after contentious debt talks with GOP lawmakers and immediately before he launched his “We Can’t Wait” campaign urging congressional Republicans to approve multibillion-dollar jobs programs and payroll-tax cuts.
The president’s top advisers “came back from the August recess with a clear, sharp message focusing on the economy, and it’s been extraordinarily effective,” said Democratic strategist Matt Miller. “They capped that with the payroll-tax message. They’ve been relentless on this, and it’s worked.”SANTORUM DOES NOT HAVE EITHER THE CREDIBILITY OR THE EXPERIENCE OR THE POLICY POSITIONS THAT CAN CONVINCE INDEPENDENTS HE WILL LEAD US ON THE ECONOMIC ISSUES BETTER THAN OBAMA.
IN ADDITION, SANTORUM HAS ALL THE "SOCIAL ISSUE" BAGGAGE THAT SCARES INDEPENDENTS.
MITT HAS THE CREDIBILITY AND THE EXPERIENCE AND THE PLATFORM - AND HE CAN ATTACK OBAMA ON CRONY CAPITALISM. (SANTORUM CAN'T BECAUSE HE IS A BIG EARMARKER WHO GAVE EARMARKS TO CRONIES.)
A VOTE FOR SANTORUM THIS WINTER IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA NEXT FALL.
UNREAL: OBAMA HAS MADE OUR SOVEREIGN DEBT WORSE THAN THAT IN CRISIS-RIDDEN EUROPE!
The European Union has lower government debt levels than America. Gross government debt in the 27 nations of the EU was 80% of the region's GDP at the end of 2010; in America gross federal debt at the end of 2010 was 94% of GDP. Furthermore, government debt is growing more slowly as a percentage of GDP in the EU than in America, because pretty much every nation in the EU is implementing austerity measures. The general government deficit in the EU-27 in 2010 was 6.6% of GDP. In America the federal deficit in 2010 was 9% of GDP.IT MATTERS NOT WHETHER HE DID THIS ON PURPOSE OR IF IT'S A RESULT OF GROSS INCOMPETENCE, BASED ON THESE FACTS ALONE: OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.
GREEK PEOPLE WILL SUFFER FOR AS LONG AS THEY STAY IN THE EURO
Hans-Werner Sinn, the head of Ifo, a top German economic think tank, warns that the money will only help international banks -- not the Greeks. He argues that Greece can only solve its crisis if it quits the euro.
If Obama administration has its way with Catholic Church, Jews will be next
David Goldman at Pajamas Media warns that, if the Obama administration has its way with forcing the Catholic Church to accept its demands regarding contraceptions and stuff like that, it'll go after the Jews next, because followers of Judaism have some similar beliefs. It's a very legitimate concern.
BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY OPPOSES ISRAELI STRIKE ON IRAN
Britain continues to cause a lot of very UN-diplomatic trouble by calling on Israel not to stop Iran from carrying out its nuclear planning:
British Foreign Secretary William Hague advised Israel on Sunday not to attack Iran, saying that the international sanctions against Iran should be given a chance to work. [...]It's the classic act of meekness and weakness the UK has long mastered, which didn't help in WW2 and isn't helpful even today. The sanctions aren't working, and all that can be done is to conduct a raid on Iran's nuclear warheads to stop them.
“I think Israel, like everyone else in the world, should be giving a real chance to the approach we adopted: very serious economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and the readiness to negotiate with Iran,” he said.

UH-OH: RIVIER IN BEIRUT TURNS THE COLOR OF BLOOD!?
BEIRUT:
The Beirut River mysteriously turned blood red Wednesday after a stream of unidentified red liquid began pouring from the southern bank of the river in Furn al-Shubbak. The source of the liquid had yet to be determined Wednesday evening, as the river continued to empty the red-colored water into the Mediterranean Sea.
As officials tried to determine the source and the nature of the substance in the river, the Beirut prosecutor assigned the Internal Security Forces to launch an investigation into the matter.
BIBLE PROPHECY:
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
Revelation 16:4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

HARVARD VS ISRAEL
While Harvard plans to host yet another conference dedicated to the destruction of Israel as we know it, I would like to proffer an alternative solution to the impasse. The crux of the Harvard conference seems to be a re-launch of the One State Solution, whereby a the state of Israel would be forced to absorb millions of palestinian refugees and place the "jews" at a demographic and deomocratic inferior position. Anyone who has paid attention to the election results of the Arab Spring understands exactly where that would lead.
Instead I propose a "One Land - Two State Solution". A Greater Israel, including territories lawfully won in conquest, would be home to two states. The National Security apparatus protecting these two intertwined states would remain in the hands of the Israeli's. Local police enforcement would be a hybrid of arab and Israeli forces distributed in proportion to the local population. Tax Revenues could be distributed as follows: 50% land taxes would go to national security. 50% would go to the arabs or israeli local adminsitrative governments based upon pre-1967 borders. That means settlers living in so called Occupied Territories would be pay some tax to a local "arab " Government. Likewise, arabs with land holdings in pre 1967 Israel would pay land tax to the Israeli Government. 1/6th of an individuals income tax would go to the government of residence. 5/6ths income tax would go to the government of choice. An arab living in Tel Aviv could choose to send 5/6ths of his income tax to the arab administrative government. A setter in the West Bank could choose to send 5/6ths of his income tax to the Israeli Adminsitrative government. The adminstrative governments would be responsible for infrastructure, education, heathcare etc.
If the arabs wanted Peace they could accept this as a framework to move forward. Only problem is I am afraid they are not interested in peaceful coexistence with the Jews.

EVEN LOONY LIBERTARIAN RON PAUL CAN SEE SANTORUM IS A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR THE GOP
EVEN LOONY LIBERTARIAN RON PAUL CAN SEE SANTORUM IS A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR THE GOP:
Video at the link!
With the Susan G. Komen/Planned Parenthood controversy, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturning Prop 8 and the controversial Obama administration contraception mandate, national political discussion over the last few weeks has shifted to social issues. Libertarian-leaning Republican presidential candidate Texas Rep. Ron Paul told Candy Crowley on CNN Sunday that the shift is a “losing position” for the GOP, and slammed rival candidate Rick Santorum for his positions on the issue while “pretending he’s a conservative.”
Paul said on CNN’s State of the Union that he doesn’t believe that the surging former Pennsylvania senator can beat President Obama in a general election, and associated what rival candidates and others challenging the Obama administration have called a fight for religious freedom, as simply an argument about “who’s going to pay for birth control pills.“ Paul emphasized that he is more concerned about ”the undermining of our civil liberties.” Paul went on to further criticize his fellow Republican candidate Rick Santorum:
“He wants to control people’s social lives. At the same time, he voted for Planned Parenthood. I mean, I don’t see how anybody can get away with that inconsistency pretending he’s a conservative. And his voting record is, I think from my viewpoint, an atrocious voting record, how liberal he’s been and all the things he’s voted for over his many years in the Senate and in the House.”

LISTEN UP FOLKS - AND I MEAN ALL YOU CAIN/NEWT/SANTORUM FREAKS:
Is it conceivable that a president with Obama’s lousy record could coast to victory, virtually by default, because the Republicans nominate a candidate who would rather talk about gynecology than debt?THE ANSWER SEEMS TO BE YES - FOR NOW.
THE BASE SEEMS TO WANT TO DEFEAT THE GOP "ESTABLISHMENT" MORE THAN THEY WANT TO DEFEAT OBAMA.
SIGH.

UNREAL: ALARMISTS FAIL TO SEE IRONY IN USING ARCHAEOLOGY TO DISCOVER HOW WE MIGHT DEAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
Global concerns about climate change, economic turmoil and cultural upheaval have often generated worldwide discussion through a variety of forums.
For a number of scholars and scientists, some of the answers are being sought by looking at the archaeology of past societies to determine how they coped with change.
Two scientists at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver, B.C., have unveiled their thoughts and research bearing on two very different cultures separated by time and distance, and how their adaptations have implications for modern society.
... "Our future will in part be shaped by climate change, and to prepare for it we can learn valuable lessons from how societies of the past have adapted and even flourished amid a backdrop of difficult conditions", says Professor Andrew Dugmore of the University of Edinburgh, who is presenting the findings at the symposium. "Most importantly, we can understand how a combination of climate and non-climate events can lead to a 'perfect storm' and trigger unexpected and dramatic social change."
The researchers found that the medieval Norse of Iceland coped with the changes they were facing by entertaining flexibility with their options for long-term sustainability, adapting trade links and acquiring food from new or expanded varieties of sources.
... Arizona State anthropologist Michelle Hegmon and ASU colleague Margaret Nelson have conducted studies on the pueblo society of the Mimbres region of southwest New Mexico.UNBEFREAKINLIEVABLE:

AS GREEK PM ARRIVES IN BRUSSELS FOR MONDAY'S CRITICAL MEETING, THE EU MINISTERS PUT MORE PRESSURE ON GREECE
Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet to decide whether Greece has done enough to merit a huge bailout loan.
Athens needs the 130bn euros (£110bn; $170bn) in order to avoid bankruptcy in mid-March, when a huge repayment on its governmental debt must be made.
On Sunday Greek PM Lucas Papademos went to Brussels to try to clinch the deal.
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the US was encouraging the IMF to support the bailout, but it is not clear how much the IMF will contribute.
The rescue plan would also write off 100bn euros of debt, with private lenders accepting a 70% reduction in what Greece owes them.EU PUTS MORE PRESSURE ON GREECE:
An EU official says some euro countries are pushing for Greece to funnel government revenue into a separately managed account dedicated to servicing its debts — an unprecedented intrusion into a sovereign country’s fiscal affairs.
Germany has made the creation of such an escrow account a precondition for giving Greece a €130 billion bailout.
But until now, it has been unclear whether the account — which would give debt and interest payments priority over paying for government services — would only contain bailout money or also money from Greek taxpayers.
The official said yesterday forcing Greece to channel government revenue into the account "is not off the table."STAY TUNED...

MESSAGE TO GENTILES: NUKES ARE NOT SCUDS
Because she was asked not to respond to Saddam's attack, Israel absorbed scud missile attacks during the Gulf War: 39 missiles exploded within Israel, AND MIRACULOUSLY only one person died.
Now, the world wants Israel to chill out and let sanctions and negotiations have a another chance - as of they hadn't gone on too long already.
Well, I got news for all the Nations of the world: nukes aren't scuds and Israel is NOT gonna absorb a nuke attack or even a WMD attack. Israel will strike first.
It is better for Israel and Jews to be momentarily reviled for attacking Iran and STILL EXIST, then for Israel to be respected and erased from the face of the Earth.
IF NO ONE ELSE HAS THE BALLS TO ATTACK EVIL HEAD-ON, THEN I GUESS THE JEWS WILL HAVE TO LEAD THE CHARGE.
Israel did it in to Saddam in 1981. And to Assad in 2007. And to Iran... stay tuned...

OBAMA IS VULNERABLE IN THE SWINGS STATES - BUT IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL, YET...
FACT:
The swing voters in these swing states are not the redmeat loving base of the GOP; the swing voters who will decide the outcome of the election are the independents and moderates in the swing states - voters who could swing either way.
SANTORUM MIGHT GET A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE BASE IN A PRIMARY IN A CONSERVATIVE STATE, BUT HE WILL NOT GET THE INDEPENDENTS IN THE SWING STATES THAT WE NEED TO GET IN ORDER TO DEFEAT OBAMA.
WE NEED MORE AMERICANS TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT LIBERAL POLICIES ARE A FAILURE AND CONSERVATIVE POLICIES WORK.
SHRILL ATTACKS AGAINST MITT --- BECAUSE HE WAS A LIBERAL 20 YEARS AGO, AND HAS GRADUALLY AND STEADILY MOVED RIGHT EVER SINCE --- ARE ONLY GOING TO TURN OFF THE VERY VOTERS WE NEED IN ORDER TO DEFEAT OBAMA.
WE WANT MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND ATTACKING MITT FOR MOVING TO THE RIGHT WILL NOT MAKE THESE PEOPLE MORE LIKELY TO DO THE SAME.

However, she recovered enough to pursue a career as a teacher and lived the remainder of her life largely out media coverage. Her passing did not make the headlines.
