Obama’s Prissy America / Why Obama’s America seems so self-centered?

By Victor Davis Hanson "During the campaign there was Obama the Humble, offering creepy messianic rhetoric about subsiding seas and cooling temperatures, ...faux-Greek temple convention sets, Latin mottos and the Obama “seal,” schoolchildren singing Obama songs, and the staged Victory Column backdrops. All that led right into ten months of an even more megalomaniac climate in which dissent — whether from Fox News, the Tea Party protests, or the Chamber of Commerce — was seen as blasphemous."

Ana Marie Cox is SO Smart, She Doesn’t Even Have to READ Books to Review Them!

IOwnTheWorld "But, kudos Miss Cox and the Washington Post! You have successfully proven once and for all that journalistic integrity no longer exists anywhere in the print media. You may as well go ahead and put your entire paper on MSNBC.com. You’ve sunken to their level. Good work!"

Fort Hood jihadist tried to turn his patients in for "war crimes"

ABC News "Colonel Anthony Febbo at Fort Hood reportedly told investigators he was twice contacted by Hasan, on Nov. 2 and a week earlier in October, about the question of whether he could legally provide information on "war crimes" he had learned in the course of psychiatric counseling he provided soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan." Hat tip to Jihad Watch

Kiss Your Freedoms Goodbye If Health Care Passes

By , Reason "Government is the negation of freedom. Freedom is your power and ability to follow your own free will and your own conscience. The government wants you to follow the will of some faceless bureaucrat."

Tibet, Dalai Lama thrown under the bus by Obama

American Thinker "What a pathetic performance on the international stage. While Hu Jintao is confident of Barack's support for the "one-China principle" most Americans are disgusted with B.O.'s determination to promote his ½ America principle. The bully boys of the world are finding that negotiating with Barack Obama is like taking candy from a baby. America sure could use a little cowboy diplomacy. "

AP Turns Heads for Devoting 11 Reporters to Palin Book 'Fact Check'

FoxNews  ""Palin quickly hit back on a Facebook post titled "Really? Still Making Things Up?"  "Imagine that," the post read. "11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to 'fact check' what's going on with Sheik Mohammed's trial, Pelosi's health care takeover costs, Hasan's associations, etc. Amazing.""

Obama's Ratings Dive Bomb ........... Down -14 and sinking like a stone

No American President Ever Bowed to a Foreign Leader — Until Now

Newsmax "No president of the United States in the more than 230 years since the country was founded in 1776 had ever bowed to a member of royalty. That was until Barack Obama’s presidency." Hat tip to Ron Woodward and Joy Roeder

Carrie Prejean, Sexting and a Lost Generation

Rebecca Hagelin "As Carrie Prejean continues to suffer, "grow up", fall and stand back up in front of the entire world, parents should discuss with our own children the many truths that Carrie's drama reveals. Among them: 1) If you dare to challenge what is "politically correct", you will become a target. 2) In today's high-tech world, "Be sure, your sins will find you out." 3) If your life is marked by modesty, honesty, and decency, your enemies' attacks will be far less effective."

Senators have tough questions for Holder

USA Today h/t to Lucianne "In an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Holder most likely will face difficult questions not only about his decision in the Mohammed case but also about whether federal investigators mishandled information about the Fort Hood shooting suspect's contacts with a radical cleric months before the Nov. 5 massacre. Three of Holder's most vocal critics of the decision to try Mohammed in civilian court are members of the panel: Republican Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, John Cornyn of Texas and Jon Kyl of Arizona."

NBC’s ObamaVision: ‘Law and Order’ — ‘This Is Why We Need Health-Care Reform’

Big Hollywood "The economy is weak, so they have devolved to converting White House talking points into weekly shows. Last week, “Doped” was a farcical equivalent of “Damien Thorn meets Karen Silkwood.” Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors are worse than drug cartels. The killers in the previous week’s episode on such cartels were more sympathetic than the health professionals. "

"We Don't Need Any More US Troops to Beat The Taliban, What We Need Is For The Italians to Leave Their Bases And Fight"....

Scotsman "Ismail Khan, the self-styled Emir of western Afghanistan, and three-decade veteran of fighting the Taleban and the Russians, was particularly scathing about the Italian forces, in his hometown of Herat."...."Mr Khan said: "The Italians were not very active. They didn't do a lot of operations to go and find the Taleban. Most of the fighting was when they got ambushed.""People respect the Americans because they went outside the city and fought the Taleban face to face."

The Code Pink-Hollywood-Taliban-Obama connection

Big Government "Last year, right before Jodie Evans attended another high dollar event for Obama, she gave a radio interview in which she sympathized with Osama bin Laden about his reasons for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that murdered nearly 3000 Americans and foreign nationals."
