NOW THEY TELL YOU: OBAMACARE WILL MAKE RATES SKYROCKET!

UPDATED - SCROLL DOWN!

NYTIMES:
New York Offers Costly Lessons on Insurance

By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS

State rules expanding coverage to the already sick — also a core provision of the new federal health law — have led to skyrocketing rates.

OBAMA DOESN'T CARE.

OR SHOULD I SAY THAT HE CARES ABOUT AS MUCH ABOUT THESE SKYROCKETING RATES AS HE DOES SKYROCKETING ELECTRICITY RATES:



OBAMA: WORST PRESIDENT EVER. MOST RADICAL LEFTIST WESTERN HEMISPHERIC PRESIDENT NORTH OF THE EQUATOR.

OBAMA'S POLICIES BELONG IN SOME BANANA REPUBLIC SOUTH OF THE BORDER.

AND HE KNOWS IT: THAT'S WHY HE'S "TRANSFORMING" AMERICA INTO A BANANA REPUBLIC!

WE CAN FIX THINGS THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP.

UPDATE: WE SCOOPED HOT AIR BY A DAY ON THIS:

ROP STRIKES AGAIN: BURKA CLAD SUICIDE BOMBERS ATTACK MUSLIM REFUGEES IN LINE FOR FOOD

YAHOO/AP:

Two burqa-clad suicide bombers attacked refugees from a Pakistani offensive against the Taliban, killing 41 as they lined up to register for food and other relief supplies.


ROPMA.

THE ROP HAS KILLED MORE MUSLIMS THAN ISRAELIS HAVE.

THE LEADING CAUSE OR ROOT CAUSE OF VIOLENT DEATH AMONG MUSLIMS IS NOT ISRAEL OR THE LACK OF A PEACE PROCESS OR THE LACK OF YET ANOTHER PALESTINIAN STATE FOR ARABS.

THE ROOT CAUSE IS ISLAM.

SOCIALIST PRESIDENT OF ECUADOR THREATENS TO NATIONALIZE THE OIL INDUSTRY

BBC:
The Ecuadorian government has threatened to take over foreign oil concessions if the companies resist growing state control of the industry.

President Rafael Correa said every day millions of dollars were going to oil companies that should go to the state.

The government has been pressing the companies to give up concessions that give them a share of oil field profits and accept service contracts instead.

Oil firms operating in Ecuador come from Spain, Brazil, China and Italy.

'Serious action'

President Correa said during a televised address on Saturday: "Every day that passes there are millions of dollars going to these companies that should be going to the Ecuadorean state.

"I'm out of patience. We are sending a bill to Congress that would allow for the expropriation of oil fields should the companies not want to sign the new contracts.

THIS IS WHAT SOCIALISTS LIKE CORREA DO.

AND IT NEVER FAILS TO IMPOVERISH THE PEOPLE.

THE USSR, RED CHINA, CUBA, ZIMBABWE. VENEZUELA. NORTH KOREA. AND SO ON.

ADD ECUADOR TO THE LIST.

IT'S INSANE: THE ONLY THING THAT TURNED INDIA AND CHINA INTO PROSPEROUS ECONOMIES WHICH CAN FEED THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND EXPORT IS FREE ENTERPRISE.

SIGH.

IT WILL FAIL IN WITH CORREA ECUADOR - AND IT WILL FAIL WITH OBAMA IN THE USA TOO.

THE ONLY THING IT WILL SUCCEED IN DOING IS MAKING PEOPLE POORER, LESS FREE AND MORE DEPENDENT ON THE STATE.

WHYEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN? WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

JUST HOW OUT OF TOUCH WITH MIDDLE AMERICA HAS THE NYTIMES BECOME? THIS MUCH!

AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECURRING GAY COMIC BOOK CHARACTER PARTY:
This is Skin Tight U.S.A., the occasional costume-fetish party held at the Stonewall Inn in the West Village, which draws a regular group of men (and their admirers) who enjoy a special kind of dress-up. Some wear heroic outfits; some, wrestling gear. The crowd can range from 25 people on an average night to 250 on a spectacular one. The common thread is that the muscle-cuddling garb often leaves little to the imagination.
THERE IS CERTAINLY ROOM IN THE USA FOR EVERYONE - INCLUDING HOMOSEXUALS.

BUT IS THIS ARTICLE PROPERLY FEATURED IN THE NYTIMES OR SOME GAY TRAVEL MAGAZINE? OR HAVE THEY MORPHED INTO EACH OTHER?

THIS IS AGENDA "REPORTING" NOT NEWS. A GRAMSICAN AGENDA.

IT'S JUST LIKE THE NYTIMES CAMPAIGN TO MAKE THE AUGUSTA MASTERS COED.

IT'S WHY THE NYTIMES IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

GOOD RIDDANCE.

LATEST LIBERAL FAD: SIPPING EXPENSIVE DELICIOUS CIVET SHIT


NYTIMES: From Dung to Coffee Brew With No Aftertaste
Reaching a valley where coffee trees were growing abundantly, he scanned the undergrowth where he knew the animals would relax after picking the most delicious coffee cherries with their claws and feasting on them with their fangs.

His eyes settled on a light, brownish clump atop a rock. He held it in his right palm and, gently slipping it into a little black pouch, whispered:


“Gold!”

Not quite. But Mr. Sibayan’s prize was the equivalent in the world of rarefied coffees: dung containing the world’s most expensive coffee beans.

Costing hundreds of dollars a pound, these beans are found in the droppings of the civet, a nocturnal, furry, long-tailed catlike animal that prowls Southeast Asia’s coffee-growing lands for the tastiest, ripest coffee cherries.

The civet eventually excretes the hard, indigestible innards of the fruit — essentially, incipient coffee beans — though only after they have been fermented in the animal’s stomach acids and enzymes to produce a brew described as smooth, chocolaty and devoid of any bitter aftertaste.


As connoisseurs in the United States, Europe and East Asia have discovered civet coffee in recent years, growing demand is fueling a gold rush in the Philippines and Indonesia, the countries with the largest civet populations.

Harvesters are scouring forest floors in the Philippines, where civet coffee has emerged as a new business.

In Indonesia, where the coffee has a long history, enterprising individuals are capturing civets and setting up minifarms, often in their backyards.
LIBERALS DRANK OBAMA'S KOOL-AID SO I GUESS THEY WILL DRINK ANYTHING.

ESPECIALLY IF IT'S EXPENSIVE AND HAS THE NYTIMES STAMP OF APPROVAL.

IOW: IT'S A SHORT HOP SKIP AND A JUMP FROM LEFT-WING SHIT TO CIVET SHIT.

THEY DRINK IT WHILE READING THE NYTIMES AND LISTENING TO NPR'S MORNING EDITION: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

IDIOTS.

(YES YES: I KNOW: IT AIN'T JUST NYTIMES LIBS WHO DRINK THIS SHIT: INDONESIANS DRINK IT, TOO. WELL ER UM: THEY'RE MUSLIMS. FIGGERS: IF THEY DRINK UP THE CRAP IN THE KORAN THEN THEY WILL DRINK ANYTHING!)

EXIT QUESTION: HOW LONG BEFORE HOT AIR AND INSTAPUNDIT LINK TO THE NYTIMES ARTICLE?

WINNING WW4 BY RIDICULING JIHAD: SOMETHING SO STUPID ONLY A LEFTIST INTELLECTUAL WOULD BELIEVE IT

FROM THE "ANALS" OF LEFTISM:
Michel Moutot / Agence France Presse:
Fight Al-Qaeda with satire, ridicule: researchers — LONDON —

Satire and ridicule can help win the fight against Al-Qaeda by stripping it of its glamour and mystique, a team of researchers argue in a report released in London and in comments to AFP. — Beating the Islamist movement …
FROM THE LINKED TO ARTICLE:

"Terrorism must be defeated through the deliberate 'toxification' of the al-Qaeda brand; not by making it seem dangerous, but by exposing it as dumb," Jamie Bartlett, one of the report's authors, told AFP.

"Al-Qaeda has to be ridiculed as the equivalent of a middle-aged dad at a school disco: enthusiastic, incompetent and excruciatingly uncool."

Bartlett, together with Jonathan Birdwell and Michael King, published "The edge of violence, a radical approach of extremism" on the website of the London-based think tank Demos on Friday.

The report summarised two years of work in Britain, Canada, Denmark, France and the Netherlands, which included interviews with 58 people convicted of terror-related offences and with 20 radical, but non-violent Muslims.

Researchers also interviewed 70 Muslims in Canada and 75 local and national experts.

THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA!:

LET'S SEND THE LEFT-WING MSM FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN RIDICULING THE TEA PARTY AND THE LEFT-WING TEA PARTY-CRASHERS OVER TO RIYADH AND ISLAMABAD AND KANDAHAR AND GAZA AND YEMEN AND NIGERIA AND SOUTHERN THAILAND AND THE PHILIPPINES TO RIDICULE THE JIHADISTS!

YEAH YEAH THAT'S THE TICKET: THEY CAN END WW4 BY RIDICULING THE JIHAD AND THEREBY BRING US WORLD PEACE!

THERE ARE SOME THINGS SO STUPID ONLY LEFTIST INTELLECTUALS CAN BELIEVE THEM!

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: THIS "THINK" TANK IS LEFTIST: WHO IS DEMOS? HERE:
Demos was founded in 1993 by former Marxism Today editor Martin Jacques, and Geoff Mulgan, who became its first director.
HOW CAN WE REALLY WIN WW4? IT'S SIMPLE:
  • WE NEED TO KILL AS MANY OF THE ENEMY AS WE CAN.
  • THAT WILL DO THE MOST TO DISCREDIT THEIR IDEOLOGY.
  • AND WE NEED TO LIBERATE THEIR WOMEN FROM ISLAMO-MISOGYNY WITH HARSH SANCTIONS AGAINST ALL MUSLIM NATIONS WHICH ALLOW HONOR-KILLING, FORCED MARRIAGE AND POLYGAMY.
  • AND WE NEED TO ENFORCE HARSH SANCTIONS AGAINST ALL NATIONS WHICH DON'T ALLOW FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE OF RELIGION - PEOPLE MUST BE FREE TO LEAVE ISLAM; NOW THEY LIVE UNDER A DEATH THREAT.
  • THESE ACTIONS AND NOT 'RIDICULE" - ARE WHAT WILL BRING US VICTORY AND ONE BILLION + PEOPLE LIBERTY!

BWAHAHA!: HOT AIR SCREENING MY COMMENTS!


I have been a frequent linker to Hot Air, and a regular commenter there.

NO MORE, EVIDENTLY:

Since I posted a comment they didn't like about Michelle Obama resembling the missing link, they screen my comments.

I think it also has to do with the fact that - despite their reputation for fast hot links - I have scooped them 18 times this year and a few hundred times in the last few years.

What peeves me is this: many of the comments they allow and leave up have idiotic adolescent humor - like saying Bill Maher has small hands.

They're allowed to screen comments - I do. It's interesting what kind of crass comments they leave up. It shatters any claim they might have that they're screening mine for crassness. They are simply being pigheaded. It's their blog; they can be pigheaded if they want.

I will continue to give them hat-tips - why not? - I link to the NYTIMES all the time.

And I will continue to scoop the crap out of them - even though I'm a part-timer with a 10 year old laptop.

Update: BTW: we're #33 in Technorati in world politics:

  • AND WE'RE CENTRISTS WHO THOUGH OBAMA WAS A POST-PARTISAN CENTRIST (AND NOT A LEFTIST WHO WOULD USE THE RECESSION TO TRANSFORM THE USA INTO A EURPOEAN STYLE WELFARE STATE.
  • WE'RE THE FOLKS WHO EITHER VOTED PEROT BECASUE WE HATED THE DEFICITS,

UNREAL: NEW JERSEY SCHOOL DEMANDED BOYS CROSS-DRESS AS PART OF SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT

UPDATED - SCROLL DOWN!

ALL PART OF THE GRAMSCIAN AGENDA:

STACLU:
Teachers forcing boys to cross-dress is wrong, even if they’re wearing jeans

Over the past week, there has been a big controversy regarding a grade school in Maple Shade School District in Burlington County, New Jersey. A teacher recently sent home a letter to parents telling them that there was going to be a fashion showstudents were required to participate by dressing up in women’s clothes, even the boys. Some parents were, of course, upset and complained. This caught the eye of Warner Todd Huston, who wrote about it on Monday. in which the history of women’s clothes could be modeled.

The cross-dressing day is to take place April 16 to coincide with the gay activist’s school event called “Day of Silence,” a nation-wide effort ostensibly meant as an anti-bullying program. However, the real purpose of the event is an effort to spread the homosexual agenda in our schools.
THIS IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE GRAMSCIAN AGENDA PROMOTOED BY THE POSTMODERN LEFTIST MACHINE - WHICH PROMINENTLY INCLUDES RADICAL HOMOSEXUALS AND GOVERNMENT UNIONS.

OBAMA'S SAFE SCHOOL'S CZAR HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE LEADER OF THIS FOR DECADES. OBAMA KNOWS THIS AND ENDORSES IT.

WE CAN BEGIN TO PUT AN END TO THE LEFT'S WAR ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION BY PUTTING A STAKE THROUGH THE HEART OF IT THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP.

THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP.

(MORE GRAMSCI POSTS HERE.)

ANOTHER GREAT GRAMSCI POST HERE AT THE AMERICAN THINKER.

IT'S LONG PASSED TIME WE ALLOWED DRILLING ANYWHERE DRILLERS WANT TO DRILL FOR OIL

Many people seem unaware that the United States is the third-largest oil producer in the world. What we do -- or fail to do -- affects not only our own country but also the global energy marketplace. Regrettably, we are one of the few countries in the world whose government restricts access to its domestic energy resources. As a result, we depend on imports for 60 percent of the oil -- and an increasing amount of natural gas -- we use. The huge transfer of American wealth, especially to hostile, oil-exporting countries, does not bode well for the U.S. economy, and it must stop. Not surprisingly, polls show that an overwhelming majority of Americans favor opening up U.S. offshore areas.

... The U.S. Minerals Management Service estimates that 14.3 billion barrels of oil and 55 trillion cubic feet of natural gas lie beneath the Atlantic and Pacific Outer Continental Shelf, with an additional 3.7 billion barrels of oil and 21.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the eastern Gulf. But the actual amounts could turn out to be much higher if companies are given the opportunity to begin exploratory work using state-of-the-art technologies, such as three-dimensional seismic imaging, that were not available when the previous resource estimates were made more than two decades ago.

Modern seismic work played a central role in the discovery two years ago of an estimated 15 billion barrels of oil beneath the ultra-deep waters of the central Gulf, and this could happen again in untapped offshore areas.

... With the nation's economy in serious trouble, Congress needs to spur domestic energy production. Toward that end, it needs to open up the Eastern Gulf to oil and natural gas production and ensure that the moratorium on offshore drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific is not re-imposed. Additionally, Congress should approve legislation to eliminate unnecessary delays in government leasing of offshore areas, ensure that states share in offshore revenues, and prevent frivolous litigation that has impeded energy development both offshore and on land.

An encouraging sign of progress was the Interior Department's recent announcement that it was going ahead with the first step of a process to allow energy companies to explore 50 miles off the Virginia coast, an area that had been closed until the moratorium expired in September. By tapping resources in the Atlantic, we would have another source of Outer Continental Shelf oil and natural gas as hurricanes blow through the Gulf.

... , the recent action to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling is a huge first step toward a more rational energy policy, but as in the quest for any goal, it takes more than one step. Congress needs to reject any attempt to re-impose the ban. The best way to accomplish that is to open up the entire Outer Continental Shelf to oil and natural gas production.

FLASH FORWARD: JERUSALEM



Why must we now feel that time must stand still for Muslims?

Why can Muslim mosques continue to stand atop the most important Jewish and Hindu temples? Isn't turnabout fair-play?

Why must the Hindus and Jews still suffer hundreds and hundreds of years after the Muslims desecrated their temples in Ayodyha and Jerusalem? Don't Hindus and Jews deserve their original temples - temples which occupy a much higher place in their respective faiths then the dubiuous Al Alsa Mosque or the old Babri Mosque (now demolished)?

(More on the Al Aksa lie here - with a good simple video.)

The Babri Mosque was destroyed in 1992. Why can't the so-called Al Aksa Mosque - (built years after Mohamed died and not the mosque referred to in the Koran) - be destroyed?

The Muslims have no respect for the holy places of other faiths: they destroyed Joseph's Tomb and they defiled the Church of the Nativity.

They blew up the Buddhas of Bamiyan.

The more radical among them destroyed the Golden Mosque - setting of a sectarian war in Iraq that killed more than the US military.

REPEAT: Muslims have no respect for other faiths. The Saudis don't allow any other faith to practice in their entire country - which before Islam was the home to many Jews and some Christians.
'
If they don't respect us, then it is stupid for us to respect them - let alone be dhimmis.

It's time we fought them at least as hard as they fight us - NO: WE MUST FIGHT HARDER.

It's time to demolish the Dome of the Rock and the so-called al Aksa Mosque.

They did it to us.

We should do it back.

Turnabout is fair-play.

Are you afraid? That's dhimmitude.

Are you waiting for G-d to demolish it and send a new one down from Heaven?

I don't expect G-d to wash and comb my hair or the mete out justice here in Earth.

A QUOTE FROM OBAMA PROVES HE'S EITHER A MORON OR A SOCIALIST

CBSNEWS:
The president said he wants a law that forces banks and financial institutions to pay for the bad decisions they make -- "and that means no more bailouts."
IN A FREE MARKETPLACE, PRIVATE COMPANIES ALWAYS PAY FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES.
  • ONLY IN A SOCIALISTIC STATE DO THE POLITICIANS HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE THE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS.
  • OBAMA IS WRONG:
  • WE DON'T NEED MORE LAWS;
  • WE NEED THE POLITICIANS TO STAY THE HECK OUT OF THE FREE MARKETPLACE.
  • EITHER OBAMA DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THIS - BECAUSE HE IS ONE DUMB DUCK,
  • OR HE DOESN'T GET IT 'CAUSE HE IS SO FAR LEFT THAT HE NO LONGER KNOWS WHAT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE REALLY IS.
YOUR CHOICE.

IF WE DO NEED ANY NEW LAW IT, THEN WOULD BE A LAW THAT PREVENTS POLITICIANS FROM GETTING THE GOVERNMENT TO BAIL OUT ANYONE.

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND THE FORT HOOD JIHAD

From Creeping Sharia, citing Reuters:
Two U.S. senators vowed on Thursday to subpoena the Obama administration next week unless it produces information sought in a congressional investigation of last year’s rampage at the Texas military base in which 13 soldiers were killed.

They said the Justice and Defense departments had until Monday to provide the information or face legal action.
The BHO administration doesn’t want made public or used in any investigation anything which puts Islam in a bad light — the true light, really.

Let's recall that BHO said in one of his books (paraphrase): "If the political winds shift, I will stand with the Muslims."

And standing with the Muslims he is.

IF HUMAN SACRIFICE IS CONSIDERED MURDER AND BARBARIC, THEN...

... THEN WHY DO WE TOLERATE ISLAM WHICH HAS ENSHRINED HUMAN SACRIFICE AS A MEANS OF ATTAINING ETERNAL BLISS?

(BY HUMAN SACRIFICE I MEAN HONOR KILLING, GENOCIDAL ATTACKS AGAINST "LESSER" MUSLIMS, AGAISNT JEWS AND ISRAELIS, AGAINST HINDUS AND CHRISTIANS AND BAHAI - AND SO ON. AND THE FACT THAT THEY DEDICATE PUBLIC SQUARES TO TERRORISTS AND WELCOME MASS MURDERERS BACK HOME LIKE HEROES.)

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

IF HUMANITY WAS RIGHT TO ERADICATE HUMAN SACRIFICE IN THE ANCIENT WOLRD AND NEW WORLD, THEN WHY TOLERATE IT AND THE IDEOLOGY WHICH PROMOTES IT ANYWHERE IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD?

WE SHOULDN'T.

4/16/10: Three Stars are Born: Felice Pete, Darryl Postell and Charles Early

HAT TIP SONDRAK:







THERE ARE SEVERAL MILLION AMERICANS LIKE MRS. FELICE PETE AND MR. DARRYL POSTELL AND MR. CHARLES EARLY: BLACK AND CONSERRVATIVE.

UP TO NOW, MOST HAVE VOTED DEMOCRAT AS IF IT WAS IN THEIR GENETIC CODE.

PEOPLE LIKE PETE AND POSTEL AND EARLY ARE CHANGING THAT AND THIS IS WHAT SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF THE DEMS.

THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE IS LOSING THE JEWS AND THEY ARE LOSING THE BLACKS.

WITHOUT THE BIGGEST BLACK VOTE EVER OBAMA WOULD'VE LOST.

WITHOUT OBAMA ON THE TOP OF THE TICKET BLACK CONSERVATIVES WILL NOT BE DROWNED OUT.

AND THEY WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE WHERE AND WHEN IT COUNTS.

WHAT MAKING THE GOVERNMENT BIGGER WON'T DO

Making the government bigger and more intrusive won't make this nation more prosperous.
Making the government bigger and more intrusive won't increase wages.
Making the government bigger and more intrusive won't improve the quality of your health.
Making the government bigger and more intrusive won't make your retirement more secure.
Making the government bigger and more intrusive won't reduce the debt.

Our national prosperity, our personal wealth, our health, and the contentment of our golden years will in fact be reduced as the government is made bigger and more intrusive.

A bigger government will increase our material burden.

And reduce our personal liberty.

It's a lose-lose proposition - except for the bureaucrats, politicians and the union workers the government hires --- and whose wages the politicians keep raising --- unions whose political contributions the politicians get.

The biggest domestic threat we face is the Axis of Taxes: the government union/politician complex.

We can defeat it this November.

PETRAEUS DELIVERS KEYNOTE AT ROTUNDA HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL

JTA/JPOST: The Holocaust survivors who helped build Israel "made our world better," US Gen. David Petraeus said Thursday.
"The men and women who walked or were carried out of the death camps, and their descendents, have enriched our world immeasurably in the sciences and in the arts, in literature and in philanthropy," said Petraeus, the key note speaker at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum commemoration in the Capitol Rotunda.

"They have made extraordinary contributions in academia, in business, and in government. And, they have, of course, helped build a nation that stands as one of our great allies. The survivors have, in short, made our country and our world better, leaving lasting achievements wherever they settled."

Petraeus's speech comes just days after the commander of Central Command, who directs US deployments in the Middle East, said "Israel is - has been, is and will be an important strategic ally of the United States.”
TOO BAD WE HAVE A POTUS WHO WANTS TO SCREW THE JEWS AND ISRAEL.

HOW THE GOP AND STEELE SHOULD REACH OUT TO BLACKS

NOT THIS WAY:

JWF:
It's bad enough that RNC head Michael Steele deems it necessary to pander to racist thug Al Sharpton and speak at his conference. He's a politician, after all, and pandering comes naturally.

But if this is true and the RNC is donating money to Sharpton's National Action Network, then Steele has to go.

Now.
The annual conference of Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) runs today through Saturday in New York City. According to the official program, the “Republican National Convention” is among the 45 sponsors of the event that serves as Sharpton’s biggest fundraising event of the year. Perhaps the program was supposed to read “Republican National Committee.” According to NAN, sponsorship requires a contribution of $5,000 to $100,000.
THE GOP NEEDS TO REMIND BLACKS THAT THE GOP IS THEIR REAL HOME.

AND THEY NEED TO COME HOME TO THE GOP.

THE GOP WAS FOUNDED TO END SLAVERY.

AND IT DID.
  • THE GOP WAS FOR CIVIL RIGHTS BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS WERE. IT WAS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WHICH HELD IT UP FOR DECADES.
  • THE KKK WAS AN OUTGROWTH OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
  • MARTIN LUTHER KING AS A REPUBLICAN.
  • JACKIE ROBINSON WAS A REPUBLICAN.
  • NIXON FINISHED INTEGRATING THE MILITARY.
  • THE FIRST BLACK NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR WAS APPOINTED BY REAGAN.
  • BUSH APPOINTED A BLACK TO THE SCOTUS.
  • DUBYA APPOINTED THE FIRST TWO BLACKS AS SECRETARIES OF STATE.
THE IDEA THAT THE GOP IS THE HOME OF RACISM IS FALSE - PURE PROPAGANDA.

DON'T BE DUPED.

THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE HASN'T HELPED YOU.

CROOKS LIKE CHARLIE RANGEL AND AL SHARPTON HAVE EXPLOITED YOU FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.

THE GOP BELIEVES YOU CAN ACHIEVE ALL YOUR DREAMS WITHOUT THE WELFARE STATE AND WITHOUT QUOTAS AND THE PERNICIOUS SOFT BIGOTRY OF LOWERED EXPECTATIONS.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S GRAMSCIAN VALUES AREN'T YOUR VALUES.

YOU HAVE CONSERVATIVE VALUES. YOU'RE DEEPLY RELIGIOUS.

THE DEMOCRATS TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED AND ARE TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE.

MY FELLOW JEWS ARE WAKING UP.

IT'S TIME YOU BLACKS DID, TOO.

Even 9-Month-Olds Choose 'Gender-Specific' Toys

The Feminists, Postmodernists, and Leftists of the world would like us to believe that all males are born eunuchs, and only develop penises, egos, and aggression out of a process of negative socialization, but it turns out we're born loving guns, balls, and Harleys.

Gee, what do you know?

From Health Day:
Parents may want their girls to grow up to be astronauts and their boys to one day do their fair share of child care and housework duties, but a new study suggests certain stereotypical gender preferences take root even before most kids can crawl.

When presented with seven different toys, boys as young as 9 months old went for the car, digger and soccer ball, while ignoring the teddy bears, doll and cooking set.

And the girls? You guessed it. At the same age, they were most interested in the doll, teddy bear and miniature pot, spoon and plastic vegetables.

"The boys always preferred the toys that go or move, and the girls preferred toys that promote nurturing and facial features," said study author Sara Amalie O'Toole Thommessen, an undergraduate at City University in London.

But, no matter how conclusive the evidence is, the Postmodern crowd (which is, after all, a group of people who are in the business of denying that there is such a thing as objective truth) will continue to deny that penises mean natural aggression and a lust for action:

So does this mean that boys and girls have an innate preference for certain types of objects? Or does socialization -- that is, the influence of parents and the larger culture -- impact children's choice of toys very early in life?

It's too soon to rule either out, said Walter Gilliam, director of the Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy at Yale University.

Thing is, once all these chicks get boned by an aggressive guy with a lust for action, I wonder if they'd be able to find it in themselves to question the Objective Truth that they had an orgasm?

Probably.

Or, they'd just say they faked it. And, since all textual interpretation is done through a collective process (according to Postmodernist Deconstructionism), I guess the non-orgasm would be just as true as the orgasm, right?

That's why you should never have sex with Leftists.

Government of Israel: No Peace deal will be agreed to which demands that the West Bank be Judenrein

IOW: The settlements stay.

FROM A CLEAR STATEMENT FROM ONE OF BIBI'S SENIOR ADVISORS: JPOST:
Israel should not have to remove any settlements in a peace agreement with the Palestinians, Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya’alon has told The Jerusalem Post, adding that just as Arabs live in Israel, so, too, should Jews be able to live in a future Palestinian entity.

“If we are talking about coexistence and peace, why the [Palestinian] insistence that the territory they receive be ethnically cleansed of Jews?” Ya’alon asked during a wide-ranging interview that will appear in the Post’s Yom Ha’atzmaut supplement on Monday.

“Why do those areas have to be Judenrein?” he asked. “Don’t Arabs live here, in the Negev and the Galilee? Why isn’t that part of our public discussion? Why doesn’t that scream to the heavens?”

Ya’alon said that if Israel and the Palestinians were truly headed down the path of peace and coexistence, “Jews living in Judea and Samaria under Israeli sovereignty and citizenship” should be possible.

He stressed that “no settlement” should be removed, and that the country’s previous withdrawals – from Lebanon and from Gaza – strengthened Hizbullah and Hamas, respectively.

“That is opposed to our strategic interest and to the strategic interests of the West,” he said.

Ya’alon, who sits on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s top decision-making body, known as the septet, and is among those deliberating on how to reply to US President Barack Obama’s reported demands for a construction freeze in east Jerusalem, said Israel must not give in on the issue.

“We cannot fold on Jerusalem. What is Jerusalem? It is Zion,” he said.
WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS, (2005!).

THE ROOT PROBLEM IS THAT THE ARABS DON'T WANT PEACE; THEY WANT A JUDENREIN WORLD.

VOLCANIC ASH WILL AFFECT MORE THAN AIR TRAFFIC:

Our readers probably know that volcanic ash from an eruption in Iceland has dramatically curtailed air traffic in Northern Europe. Of course there will be secondary negative repercussions for the economy - especially airlines and travel related businesses. What you may not have pondered is that the ash cloud in the upper atmosphere will probably shade the arctic icecap and the area of the globe south of the arctic circle. I predict a cooler summer in the northern hemisphere and some beautiful sunsets. Volcanic eruptions have led to dramatic cooling in the past. This is far more significant than some CO2 - now the question is how will the government make us pay for it????

FBI director tries to warn about home grown Islamic terrorists, without mentioning "Islam"

In Senate testimony, Robert Meuller does everything he can to suggest that he is talking about Islamic extremists. He cites Nidal Hasan's mass murder of American soldiers at Fort Hood. He cites Mumbai attacks planner David Headley. But thanks to Obama's banning of any reference to Islam in relation to terror threats, Meuller is unable to specify that it isn't animal rights activists or disgruntled taxpayers who he is calling "an equally serious threat" as al Qaeda. He can only describe the danger as "US-born extremists," of no particular persuasion.

Not allowed to name the enemy, Meuller sounds like Ray Charles telling Stevie Wonder how to steer the car:
"These terrorist threats are diverse, far-reaching and ever-changing, and to combat these threats, the FBI must sustain our overseas contingency operations and engage our intelligence and law enforcement partners both here at home and abroad," he said.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. This intentionally stripped out language is how our intelligence analysts are now reduced to talking to each other internally as they try to conduct business, otherwise they'll get fired. They are commanded to turn a blind eye to Obama's relentless favoritism for everything Islamic, including Islamic terrorists, who can no longer be tracked as such. Mueller's tongue-tied testimony is a glimpse of the barriers that Obama is putting in the way of daily intelligence operations.

President Clinton gave us Jamie Gorelick's "wall of separation" between intelligence and law enforcement. Obama has found an even more effective way to hamper national security: a wall of separation between each agent's brain and his mouth.


UPDATE: Asked for clarification, an FBI spokesman now claims that Mueller was not just talking about Islamic extremists when he said that home-grown threats pose as much of a threat as al Qaeda:
An FBI spokesman said Friday that Mueller was referring to right-wing extremist groups and anti-government militias, as well as American Islamists, in his testimony to the Senate committee that must approve the FBI’s $8.3 billion budget.
Do they really believe this foul-minded statement, a la President Clinton, who now repeats his disgusting charge (ibid) that Timothy McVeigh was inspired by Rush Limbaugh? Or are they required to make their terror warning general in order to abide by Obama's command that executive branch employees not implicate Islamic extremism?

UNBELIEVABLE: 50% OF THE STAFF OF AN NHS TRUST FEEL THEIR HOSPITAL ISN'T FIT FOR THEIR OWN FAMILY!

EXPRESS:
HALF the staff of an NHS trust would be unhappy if friends or relatives had to be treated in their hospitals, they admitted in a damning survey.

Yesterday, health chiefs were told they should be ashamed of conditions at their hospitals, serving more than 500,000 people.

Employees of East Lancashire NHS Trust told researchers they had little faith in their bosses, with 52 per cent revealing they would not want their own loved ones to be in their care.

Only 33 per cent felt there were enough staff to enable them to do their jobs properly and just over half (53 per cent) believed patient care was the top priority.

SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE SUCKS.

BARAK TO BARACK: SORRY, WE WON'T EVER SIGN THE NPT

HAARETZ:
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday that Israel would not be pressured into signing the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, stressing that unlike other countries, Israel had never threatened to destroy another nation.

"There is no room to pressure Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has never threatened to annihilate other nations and peoples, while today Iran, and also Syria, Libya and Iraq in the past, all of whom signed this treaty, have systematically violated its stipulations while explicitly threatening Israel's existence," Barak said during a memorial service for fallen Israel Defense Forces soldiers at the Defense Ministry.

These days," he went on to say, "the threats against Israel have not ceased. Facing these threats is a strong army, ready and prepared, with the entire Israeli people behind it."

On Tuesday, United States President Barack Obama urged all countries, including Israel, to sign the international nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT.

"Whether we're talking about Israel or any other country, we think that becoming part of the NPT is important," Obama said. "And that, by the way, is not a new position. That's been a consistent position of the United States government, even prior to my administration."
OBAMA THINKS HE CAN PRESSURE ISRAEL ON THE NUCLEAR FRONT TWO WAYS:
  1. BY FORCING THEM TO SIGN THE NPT,
  2. OR BY MAKING IT CLEAR TO ISRAEL THAT AS NON-SIGNATORIES, ISRAEL COULD BE TARGETED FOR NUCLEAR RETALIATION BY THE USA - UNDER OBAMA'S NEW STRATEGY.
IF OBAMA WASN'T A LIFELONG ANTI-ZIONIST WHO WAS MORE INTERESTED IN AIDING THE ARABS, THEN HE'D BE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SIGNATORIES WHO HAVE VIOLATED THE TERMS OF THE NOT - LIKE... IRAN.

VIRGINIA OIL LEASE SALE PROCEEDING

OIL ONLINE:
The scheduled 2012 lease sale offshore Virginia will proceed, even without the environmental impact studies necessary to allow oil & gas exploration in place, the head of the Minerals Management Service said on 14 April 2010.

Liz BirnbaumMMS director Liz Birnbaum said the sale - the first on the US Atlantic outer continental shelf (OCS) since the lifting of a decades-old ban on offshore drilling in 2008 -- would help gauge interest among companies in the exploration potential of a stretch of the Atlantic from Georgia to Delaware that the Obama administration would open to drilling under the MMS's proposed 2012-2017 five-year leasing plan.

'In some ways, this lease sale was devised to be sort of a test sale,' Birnbaum said before delivering a speech at the Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference in Seattle, Washington. 'It's a very limited-size sale.'
AN IMPORTANT TEST. STAY TUNED...

A MESSAGE TO MY FELLOW JEWS: IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE

RJC:
Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matt Brooks released the following statement in response to the report:
After more than a month of agonizing diplomatic tension, President Obama seems determined to damage the U.S.-Israel relationship by pursuing a poorly thought-through policy shift at our ally's expense.

What became of the candidate who promised pro-Israel voters that "When I am President, the United States will stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel"? Today, we hear directly from the administration that the President has decided to "balance support for Israel against other American interests." The result of this flip-flop is, as the Timesnotes, "a chilly standoff" between our nations - but no progress whatsoever toward peace.

After more than a month of unprecedented snubs and diplomatic pressure, the Times'report provides yet another wake-up call to the deeply pro-Israel majorities in Congress and across our nation.

MY FELLOW JEWS;

ANY OF YOU WHO SUPPORTED OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS MUST NOW CHOOSE BETWEEN YOUR PARTISAN ALLEGIANCE AND YOUR IDENTITY AS JEWS.

NONE OF YOU WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED OR VOTED FOR FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE JAMES BAKER FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BAKER FAMOUSLY SAID, "FUCK THE JEWS." (YES: HE SAID IT, BUT OBAMA IS DOING IT!)

YET NOW, OBAMA HAS CLEARLY A EXPLICITLY CHARTED A COURSE FOR US FOREIGN POLICY WHICH IS MORE HOSTILE TO ISRAEL THAN ANY DEVISED BY BAKER.

  • DO NOT TAKE SOLACE IN THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS A FEW JEWS IN HIS INNER CIRCLE: THEY ARE "PEACE NOW"/"NEW ISRAEL FUND" JEWS AND TRAITORS TO ISRAEL.
IF YOU WOULDN'T SUPPORT BAKER, THEN WHY DO YOU SUPPORT OBAMA?

IS YOUR CONNECTION TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE EDITORIAL PAGES OF THE NYTIMES STRONGER THAN YOUR CONNECTION TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL?


IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO CHOOSE:

  • YOU CANNOT SUPPORT BOTH OBAMA AND ISRAEL;
  • YOU CAN SUPPORT ONE OR THE OTHER.
I PRAY YOU CHOOSE WISELY AND WELL.

UPDATE: MANY JEWS ARE CHOOSING WELL:
Behold:

mcl

Not all of that is attributable to the falling out with Israel, of course — in fact, a bare majority approve of how he’s handling relations with them(!) — but, by comparison, his approval rating among Jews in the previous poll was 57 percent.

To be momentarily underwater on a question about reelection within a demographic that broke for him in 2008 by an almost 60-percent margin seems … astonishing.

The poll also finds that Jews oppose any attempt by the White House to recognize a Palestinian state within the next two years, 28/52,
AWESOME!

SUSPICIONS LINGER ABOUT POLISH CRASH

NYTIMES:

In Poland, meanwhile, some members of the late president’s Law and Justice party remained deeply suspicious of the Russian investigation. Jolanta Szczypinska, one of the party’s senior members, called for a nonpartisan, international commission to investigate.

Ms. Szczypinska, who gave up her seat on the ill-fated flight just hours before it took off, said she had been informed by Polish journalists at the crash site that Russian authorities had demanded that witnesses who had been waiting to greet the dignitaries hand over their cameras, cell phones and memory cards.

“I have flown many times on that plane and I knew the pilots, and I am convinced that it wasn’t a pilot’s mistake that led to this tragedy,” she said in an interview on Thursday. “It is disturbing the way the Russian side has been communicating, issuing statements and how they had their version of events from the beginning. It is very strange, and we expect answers.”

I AGREE:

CUI BONO?

PUTIN.

IS AN INDICTMENT LOOMING FOR OBAMA CONFIDANT, FUNDRAISER AND APPOINTEE RATTNER?

NYTimes:

Quadrangle had previously argued that those payments and the film deal were not improper, but a news release issued by Cuomo's office Thursday included a statement from the company in which it excoriated its founder.

''We wholly disavow the conduct engaged in by Steve Rattner, who hired the New York State Comptroller's political consultant, Hank Morris, to arrange an investment from the New York State Common Retirement Fund. That conduct was inappropriate, wrong, and unethical,'' the statement said.

A spokesman for Rattner declined to comment.

The deal is the latest in a series related to a pay-to-play scandal at the $130 billion pension fund, which provides retirement benefits for more than 1 million government workers.

RATTNER MAY BE INDICTED.

IOW: ANOTHER OBAMA CONFIDANT TURNS OUT TO BE A CROOK.

FIGGERS. THE CHICAGO MACHINE REEKS OF CORRUPTION.

A CRACK IN THE AGW WALL: BRITISH RESEARCHERS ADMIT SUNSPOTS EFFECT CLIMATE

IT'S A START:

BBC:

Sun activity link to cold winter

A period of low solar activity could lead to more cold winters in the UK

The 'Big Freeze' explained

The UK and continental Europe could be gripped by more frequent cold winters in the future as a result of low solar activity, say researchers.

They identified a link between fewer sunspots and atmospheric conditions that "block" warm, westerly winds reaching Europe during winter months.

But they added that the phenomenon only affected a limited region and would not alter the overall global warming trend.

The findings appear in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

"By recent standards, we have just had what could be called a very cold winter and I wanted to see if this was just another coincidence or statistically robust," said lead author Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading, UK.

To examine whether there was a link, Professor Lockwood and his co-authors compared past levels of solar activity with the Central England Temperature (CET) record, which is the world's longest continuous instrumental record of such data.

The researchers used the 351-year CET record because it provided data that went back to the beginning of the Maunder Minimum, a prolonged period of very low activity on the Sun that lasted about half a century.

...The Maunder Minimum occurred in the latter half of the 17th Century - a period when Europe experienced a series of harsh winters, which has been dubbed by some as the Little Ice Age. Following this, there was a gradual increase in solar activity that lasted 300 years.

Professor Lockwood explained that studies of activity on the Sun, which provides data stretching back over 9,000 years, showed that it tended to "ramp up quite slowly over about a 300-year period, then drop quite quickly over about a 100-year period".

He said the present decline started in 1985 and was currently about "half way back to a Maunder Minimum condition".

This allowed the team to compare recent years with what happened in the late 1600s.

"We found that you could accommodate both the Maunder Minimum and the last few years into the same framework," he told BBC News.

THEY'RE STILL DENYING THAT THE MINIMUM WAS AND WILL BE AGAIN WORLDWIDE.

BUT IT'S A START.

EHUD OLMERT IS PRIME SUSPECT IN HOUSING SCAM

The Israeli courts have cleared for publication that former PM Olmert is considered the numero uno suspect in a real estate scam:
They referred to him as "the senior personality," "the main suspect abroad," and even E.O. Now, the missing link is finally official. Ehud Olmert, former prime minister and former mayor of Jerusalem during the licensing of the Holyland real estate project, is slated to be investigated under caution in coming days in what has been called by one judge, "one of the worst corruption cases in the history of the country."

This information was cleared for publication Thursday morning by the courts. It was also cleared for publication that the State Prosecutor's Office and the police have at a State witness at their disposal. The identity of the witness remains confidential.

The National Fraud Investigations Unit suspects that Olmert, currently on trial for three other corruption cases, pocketed hundreds of thousands of shekels from businessmen, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders in the affair. In return, the latter received a cash cow, recently labeled "an ugly real estate monstrosity" by the court.

It was also cleared for publication that the police suspect that as a result of the bribes the Holyland real estate development was expanded 1,200% beyond the limit authorized in the original plan. The police suspect that the bribes were systematically handed out to various officials in the Jerusalem Municipality and other public bodies.

As the Holyland affair broke last week and part of it were first made known to the public, Olmert was abroad. This was no coincidence. Ynet learned that the arrest warrants for the six arrested suspects waited until Olmert's plane took off, and then the police jumped on the opportunity.

"The fact that he was abroad served the investigation overall," explained the police. "After all, he couldn't disrupt it from there, and this also prevented unnecessary unpleasantness for him. Such a senior personality is not so easily arrested."
That's the sad part of it. He can't be permitted immunity from trial and arrest just because he was such a bigshot. He's planning to go on TV to insist he's innocent. But all he's doing is making himself look utterly pathetic, and unable to face the reality of his wrongs. Olmert is simply a very disgraceful man, unwilling to admit to any guilt in the wrongdoings he's committed over the years. Now, he's hopefully going to pay a heavy price for his deeds, which include, lest we forget, his attempts to sell Israel down the river to the Religion of Peace. If he does pay the price, it will be most richly deserved.

RONALD LAUDER STANDS UP TO OBAMA

The head of the World Jewish Congress has written a letter to Obama asking him to stop his feud with Israel and work on real problems like the Iranian nuclear crisis (via One Jerusalem):
Lauder also queries President Obama on America’s wider strategy for the Middle East: “The Administration's desire to improve relations with the Muslim world is well known. But is friction with Israel part of this new strategy? Is it assumed worsening relations with Israel can improve relations with Muslims? History is clear on the matter: appeasement does not work. It can achieve the opposite of what is intended.”
It will be published tomorrow in the Wall Street Journal and Wash. Post. Lauder's done the right thing to speak up.

UNREAL: BRITAIN BANS ISRAEL TOURISM AD FOR SHOWING WESTERN WALL

UK bans Kotel from Israeli tourism ad
Officials deem image misleading, as it is in "occupied territories."
DHIMMI BRITAIN: ANTISEMITIC TO THE CORE.

MORE:
Images of the Western Wall are no longer allowed in Israeli tourism ads in the UK, after regulators deemed it misleading, as it is in the “occupied territories of the West Bank.”

The Advertising Standard Agency ruled on Wednesday following a complaint that a tourism ad containing a picture of the Western Wall with the Dome of the Rock in the background misleadingly implied that east Jerusalem was part of the State of Israel, resulting in false advertising.

“We noted the ad stated, ‘You can travel the entire length of Israel in 6 hours. Imagine what you can experience in 4 days,” and, “Visit... now for more itineraries in Israel,” and considered that readers were likely to understand that the places featured in the itinerary were all within the State of Israel,” the Advertising Standard Agency said in its ruling.

“We understood, however, that the status of the occupied territory of the West Bank was the subject of much international dispute, and because we considered that the ad implied that the part of east Jerusalem featured in the image was part of the State of Israel, we concluded that the ad was likely to mislead,” the ruling continued.

The Israel Government Tourist Office advertisement was held to have breached the Advertising Standard Agency’s guidelines on truthfulness.

The Tourism Ministry wrote in response that “the ad provided basic, accurate information to a prospective UK traveler who wanted to know what to expect in Israel.

It also said that Israel accepted responsibility to support the religious sites of all denominations, a commitment also incorporated in an agreement with the Palestinian Authority signed in 1995. The ministry pointed out that the agreement placed the upkeep of holy sites and the determination of tourist visiting-hours under Israeli jurisdiction.
DESPITE THIS, THE COWARDLY DHIMMI BRITS HAVE SIDED WITH ARABS.

JERUSALEM IS MORE ISRAELI AND JEWISH THAN THE FALKLANDS ARE BRITISH.

THE BRITS GOT AND HOLD THE FALKLANDS OUT OF SHEER FORCE. THEY WON A WAR AND KEEP IT.

FOR BRITS TO KEEP THE FALKLANDS AND SCOLD ISRAELIS IS HYPOCRITICAL.

THE BRITS ARE SCUM. COWARDLY EVIL SCUM.

I BET HAMAS IS HAPPY - AND OBAMA TOO.

WHY CONNECTICUT IS IN PLAY: MCMAHON HAS $50 MILLION AND BALLS; BLUMENTHAL IS A STIFF

NYTIMES:
... the Democrats admit to some nervousness, in part because of the Republican he is most likely to confront next fall: the professional-wrestling impresario Linda McMahon. She promises a campaign much like her brand of entertainment, with blunt, in-your-face, emotional appeals and attacks.

And Ms. McMahon has vowed to spend as much as $50 million, about five times what Mr. Blumenthal can muster.

Mr. Blumenthal’s combat readiness has been questioned before. In 2005, Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s advisers let it be known that she would relish a challenge from the attorney general, who they said had a “glass jaw.”

Still, his halting style as he pursues the Senate seat is striking.

... The man who twice shrank from running for governor hedges, fences and revises when queried on all manner of federal issues.

Asked if he would have voted in 2008 for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, he dodged several times by saying he would have tried to amend it, then turned to an aide and said, “Have I taken a position on this?” (Three hours later, he sent word that he would have voted against it.)

Asked about President Obama’s new policy taking a nuclear strike off the table as a response in some cases to a biological, chemical or cyber attack, Mr. Blumenthal first said he supported it, then said that his “inclination” was to support the president but that “I want to understand more about it.”

And in the debate, when asked about normalizing relations with Cuba, he said he would consult Connecticut’s “Latino people, of Latino heritage, to learn what our policy should be.”

Reminded of that, he said on Thursday: “The honest answer is I hadn’t thought about it. And I was the first one to take the question. If he’d been the first one to take the question, I would’ve had a different answer.”

Mr. Blumenthal flopped in his first televised debate against an obscure primary opponent, and he is ruling out any possibility of a rematch.

He appears almost incapable of offering concise answers to even the most predictable questions, like why he is running for the Senate.

And his reliance on prosecutorial parlance and legal arcana has raised unflattering comparisons to another attorney general in a Senate race who seemed a sure winner only to lose in spectacular fashion. Some Democrats are calling him “Martha Coakley in pants,” referring to the candidate who lost the Massachusetts Senate election in January.

PREDICTION: BLUMENTHAL LOSES.

GOLLY: IT WOULD GREAT IF JOE ENDORSED MCMAHON!

WARNING: OBAMA HAS MADE US LESS SAFE - AND IT IS NOW MORE PROBABLE THAT WE WILL BE ATTACKED AGAIN ON AN AWFUL SCALE AS A RESULT

OBAMA HAS MADE US LESS SAFE:
"... we know with 100 percent certitude that enhanced interrogations produced ‘high value information,’ but there is ‘no way of knowing’ whether other methods can produce the same information.

This means that the Obama administration is abandoning a proven tool to risk our security on the admittedly unproven prospect that the Army Field Manual will produce the same results.”
  • THEREFORE, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN AS MUCH INTEL' SINCE 2009 AS WE GOT BEFORE.
  • THEREFORE, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN AS MUCH INTEL' SINCE 2009 AS WE MIGHT HAVE.
  • THEREFORE, WE ARE LESS SAFE BECAUSE THE ENEMY HAS OPERATED WITH GREATER EASE SINCE OBAMA BECAME POTUS.
  • IT ONLY TAKES A FEW YEARS TO PLAN AND CARRY OUT A MAJOR TERROR ATTACK.
  • THE CLICK IS TICKING... IN ALL LIKELIHOOD ANOTHER MAJOR ATTACK WILL BE ATTEMPTED BEFORE NOVEMBER.
  • SEVERAL WERE THWARTED DURING BUSH'S WATCH.
  • SEVERAL SMALLER ONES HAVE ALREADY SUCCEEDED DURING OBAMA'S.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING...

A VERY GOOD POLL FOR TORIES

On the eve of tonight’s first ever leaders’ television debate, the most comprehensive survey of swing seats since the campaign began showed David Cameron comfortably ahead.
The poll by Crosby/Textor was carried out in 100 marginal seats; 80 held by Labour and 20 by the Liberal Democrats.

43 per cent of voters questioned said they would vote Conservative, 31 per cent Labour and 20 Lib Dem.

Labour have dropped five points since the 2005 election in these seats, while the Tories have gained seven points, the poll showed.

The results suggest the Conservatives are much mor
e likely to achieve an outright majority at the election than previously thought.
GOOD! I PREFER THE UKIP, BUT A TORY WIN WILL HELP SAVE BRITAIN.

I HOPE BROWN DOES POORLY AND CAMERION WELL AT TOMORROW'S DEBATE; THIS WILL HAPPEN IF EACH MAN IS HIMSELF.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MUSLIM NATION MAKES DEMANDS ON ITS CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MUSLIM NATION MAKES DEMANDS IN ITS CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR:
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday the border between Turkey and Armenia would remain closed unless a solution was reached in the conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Turkey is ready to open the border as soon as Armenia ends " occupation of Azerbaijan's territory," Erdogan was quoted as telling reporters upon his arrival in Turkey from the Nuclear Security Summit held in the United States from April 12 to 13.

Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 to support Azerbaijan, which had a territorial conflict with Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Ankara has said the border could be opened only after the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the disputed land.

Turkey and Armenia have no diplomatic or economic ties. The two neighbors signed protocols to normalize relations and open long- sealed borders last October but the move has stalled since then.
TURKEY - LIKE ALL ISLAMIST NATIONS, THINKS IT CAN DICTATE TERMS AND PRECONDITIONS TO NON-MUSLIM NATIONS.

TURKEY SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF NATO.

RONALD LAUDER FOR U.S. SENATE FROM NY

THR GOP SHOULD ASK RONALD LAUDER TO RUN AGAINST GILLIBRAND.

HE'S A BILLIONAIRE AND A CONSERVATIVE.

HOW GOVERNMENT COULD ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE WORLD

Mostly all government has to do is GET OUT OF THE WAY.

As Reagan said in his inaugural in 1980, government isn't the solution; it's the problem.

When I was a child - back in the 1950-60's - China and India were literally STARVING.

Now they export food - and every month --- for decades now - the people are becoming more and more prosperous.

DID FOREIGN AID DO THIS? DID REDISTRIBUTIONISM?

Nope. Free markets did.

IOW: the Indian government got out of the way of the Indian people.

IOW: The Chinese government got out of the way of the Chinese people.

YES, I KNOW: BOTH COUNTRIES NEED TO BE FREER.

But that doesn't negate the fact that it was the liberalization (in the CLASSIC SENSE of the word!!!!) of their economies which saved these nations.

Not socialism. Not foreign aid and not charity.

BUT CAPITALISM. "Evil greedy selfish" CAPITALISM.

Any human being who counts himself a HUMANITARIAN who wants to see the lives of his brothers and sisters improve materially must accept this - and should support more of it.

Leftists think that they support policies which promote well-being, but it's actually the exact opposite.

Socialism promotes poverty and dependence not prosperity and independence.

(BESIDES: Socialism was also responsible for most of the genocide in the last century - to the tune of 200 million.)

Despite decades of "self-government" and decades of foreign aid, Africa is still way too poor and has way too many malnourished people.

THE REASON? Too much statism and socialism.

Rhodesia was better than Zimbabwe for blacks because back then there was PROSPERITY and lots of food. Zimbabwe is bad because Mugabe is a committed SOCIALIST.

Ditto North Korea and Cuba and South Africa and Venezuela and Vietnam and so on. They are all poorer because of socialism.

Socialism has left a trail of poverty and malnourishment wherever it took over.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE SOCIALISM HISTORY.

Yet Obama is trying to transform America and make the USA more socialist.

It will meet with the same results here as Zimbabwe.... ONLY WORSE: Because when you bring sown the USA, you bring down the entire West: The USA is still the indispensable nation - or, as our enemies say, "THE BIG SATAN".

That's why we must stop Obama and his agenda.

We can do that this November.

ADDENDUM:

ARE HERE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS THE MORE DEVELOPED AND MORE AFFLUENT NATIONS CAN ENACT THAT WOULD HELP THE POORER LESS DEVELOPED NATIONS?

YES.

We can build Africans water treatment plants (untreated water is the biggest killer on the continent right up there with Malaria) and highways and nuclear power pants and a grid and sell them fridges and stoves and cars and truck and trains. Thus will imorve their live immensely.

ON ONE CONDITION: THEY BECOME FREE - AND STAY FREE.

As I have long said: Prosperity is a by-product of liberty.

If we spread liberty, then we spread prosperity.

AND THAT MEANS ANY IDEOLOGY WHICH PROHIBITS LIBERTY MUST BE CONFRONTED AND VANQUISHED.

I think you know which ideology after socialism - is the worst culprit: ISLAM.

YUP: WW4 MUST BE WON - NOT JUST FOR OUR OWN SECURITY AND TO PROTECT OUR OWN WAY OF LIFE AND NOT JUST TO PROTECT THE WEST AND JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION..

BUT ALSO TO LIBERATE AND ENRICH ALL OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS - EVERYWHERE.

If this is a radical neo-con agenda, then FDR and his wife Eleanor were radical neo-cons.

Or would you rather 3 billion of your brothers and sisters remained poor - slaves to the state or slaves of Islam?

I for one want all humans free from tyranny - the tyranny of leftism and Islam.

WE CAN DO IT.

For future generations of every race, creed, color national origin and ethnicity - we must.

Could the Democrats lose 100 seats in the House this November? Yes.

Sean Trende / Real Clear Politics:
How Bad Could 2010 Really Get For Democrats? — Though Election Day is still months away, pundits have already begun to speculate on possible outcomes for this year's midterms. There's a general consensus that Democrats will lose seats in November, but beyond that opinions vary widely on how big those losses might be.
The consensus low number right now is 50.

The high was 80.

Now it's 100.

IT'S A TEA PARTY TSUMANI!

What could stop and reverse this trend?

Only a few things: a BIG drop in unemployment by Labor Day - to... UNDER 8%.

This ain't likely.

OR : Obama attacking Iran.

MIGHT OBAMA DO THIS? WOULD THE APPEASER IN CHIEF ACTUALLY DO THE RIGHT THING!?

YES BUT... only for the WRONG reason: to maintain control of Congress so he can complete his socialist transformation of America - and thereby cripple the Free World/West/Judeo-Christian Civilization - (for without the USA the Free World will collapse).

ONE LAST POSSIBILITY: Maybe a massive WMD attack against the USA within the USA. GULP.

(Maybe Obama's cousins and comrades and fellow travellers are planning this right now...)
