Liz Cheney’s 3 Minute Destruction of Obama’s Foreign Policy

Liberty Pundits "Cheney is far and away the most effective, persuasive Republican on the issue of national security. And, as noted by Ben Smith, she is sounding more and more like a candidate. Just let me know where to send the check."

Obama visits the Gulf coast

J.A. Jackson , AT   "Maybe I should feel honored that the President of the United States spent the night less than 20 miles from my home, but I do not. Maybe I should feel some connection to him now that his feet touched the beautiful white beaches that I have walked since my childhood, but I cannot. Last night he ate of the bounty of my land and I should be grateful to share, but I simply did not.
"I cried when I saw Marine One take off from Tyndall Air Force Base yesterday morning, not because I was proud, but because I was not proud. As an American, that is a difficult thing to believe...that I could ever not be proud of my president. And it hurts."

The Ultimate Culture War: the Left vs. the War on Terror

Jennifer Rubin "If nearly every reasoned step to defend ourselves against Islamic extremists flies in the face of liberal dogma, we are presented with a choice: take reasoned and legally defensible steps to defend ourselves (by cutting off the means by which radicals spread jihadism) or capitulate to the left’s dogma and let the consequences — and the American people — be damned. Obama has made his choice, and Americans should make theirs."  This must be how the Israelis feel when they have to go after enemy rocket launch sites.

The Toxicity of Tolerance

Commentary Magazine " “It goes without saying that tolerance is a value to which we should all be deeply committed.” Does it? Tolerance is not, in fact, a value at all. If Sue tolerates a kindly bore during a brief conversation is she employing the same moral standard as Tom who tolerates a stoppable violent crime in his presence? Moreover, does this standard qualify as one to which we should all be deeply committed?" Abe Greenwald

911 words about Obama's Mosque (Updated)

Kevin McCullough  "In fact since you've been in office you've repeatedly apologized to the Islamic world for America's action of liberation to fifty million muslims, you wholly redirected our space program to the unique purpose of making them feel good about how smart Muslims used to be, and on issue after issue you've sided with the views of the terrorists, even appointing several of the former defenders of the Gitmo detainees to your Department of Justice.
"But this last week, even though no one was asking you to, you stepped into the most painful issue related to the hallowed grounds of 9.11 to date.
"You chose sides, even when nobody cared if you did.
"But now it's in your file. We will discuss during your performance review in November and over the next two years."
Obama On The Mosque - The Backpedaling Begins "And on cue, here is President Obama on Saturday, backpedaling from the media so quickly he might be the answer to the Jets Darrelle Revis problem:"
Obama backs away from Ground Zero Mosque "What happened between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon to get Obama to modify his position? An easy guess: His political advisers must have told him that, given strong public feelings and opposition, he was making it even more difficult for Democrats in the November mid-term elections. Every 'Democratic candidate obviously would be asked whether he or she agreed with his endorsement of a Ground-Zero mosque.
"So, Obama backtracked. And rather clumsily."   How Carteresque.
Washington Post glosses over Imam Rauf's blaming US for 9/11 "A news article, particularly one about a national controversy about the advisability of mosque near Ground Zero, shouldn't take sides, but present both sides of this hot-button issue.
"By failing this basic journalistic test, the Post validates reader complaints that too much editorializing in pursuit of an ideological agenda permeates the paper's news pages. And that in turns tends to shred the Post's credibility -- a fragile and precious commodity."

Obama, Boxer, and the California Awakening

Townhall "And today, if you were to travel north or south through this region, on either “Interstate 5” or state route “99,” you’d see the influence of bad politics in Washington , and expressions of outrage that Central Californians feel towards their federal government.
"Despite the fertile soil of the San Joaquin Valley , the region would essentially be a desert if it wasn’t adequately irrigated. This means that in order for it to remain a top agricultural producer year after year, it needs a lot of water – and this is where Washington has damaged Central California . "
