Sarah Palin’s Way of Thinking

NY Sun  "If a policy reform is going to come out of British Petroleum’s catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, we predict it will emerge in the outlines of Sarah Palin’s post Wednesday on her Facebook page. That is where she sends what she calls a “message to exreme ‘environmentalists’ who hypocritically protest domestic energy production offshore and onshore.” Writes she: “Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country’s energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.”

Coming Up Short

  Cook Political Report "But, as House Republicans should have learned in Pennsylvania, neither party can afford to take the enthusiasm of its base for granted.

The "Prove Dennis Kucinich has a brain' Game

Rick Moran in AT; "The following are some quotes from a letter sent by former presidential candidate and far left wacko Dennis Kucinich to President Obama with regard to the Gaza flotilla incident.
In order to stomach its contents, I suggest a game; see how many strawmen, logical fallacies, half truths, and blatant lies you can find in its contents. We'll go with a points system:
1 pt. - strawman
2 pts. - logical fallacy
3 pts. - half truth
4 pts. - blatant lie
10 bonus points for proving that Kucinich has a brain."

LIz Cheney Calls Out Obama's Anti-Semitism

Atlas Shrugs "President Obama is contributing to the isolation of Israel, and sending a clear signal to the Turkish-Syrian-Iranian axis that their methods for ostracizing Israel will succeed, and will be met by no resistance from America. There is no middle ground here. Either the United States stands with the people of Israel in the war against radical Islamic terrorism or we are providing encouragement to Israel’s enemies—and our own.  KeepAmericaSafe.com  calls on President Obama to reverse his present course and support the state of Israel immediately and unequivocally.” "
