Protesters Destroy Recall Petitions Against Wisconsin Democrat
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "Thanks to a reader in Wisconsin for sending me this link to a press release from the Recall Jim Holperin Committee and video posted at the website of conservative talk show host Charlie Sykes, regarding intimidation efforts directed against Republicans seeking signatures on recall petitions against one of Wisconsin Democratic State Senators who fled to Illinois:"
THUGS DESTROY RECALL PETITIONS "Upon arrival, members of the recall committee were encircled by union protesters carrying signs and a leader with a mega phone who began chanting and ranting loudly. They packed in tightly around the petition collection table so as to prevent those attempting to sign from doing so. At one point, a pro union protester, pretending to be interested in signing the petition, wrote profanity across a partially collected petition form, than began ripping up the completed petitions that were in close proximity."

Oh, Thank God: Obama Set to Reveal NCAA Picks
Big Government "Japan is suffering from a natural disaster that threatens to turn into an existential crisis. Colonel Q-ball has unleashed a blistering assault on pro-democracy rebel forces. Large swaths of the Middle East are in turmoil. The federal government is bleeding red ink, with absolutely no end in site. The economy sucks and is getting battered by skyrocketing commodity prices and a volatile oil market. Near-record numbers of Americans are leaving the work force. If the world isn’t quite on fire…it is at least approaching a slow burn."Obama’s Presidency Hangs by a Thread "It’s hard to overstate how poorly Barack Obama is doing in the face of these crises — and I don’t even mean how he’s doing substantively, which is a scandal in itself. I mean how he’s doing politically. Recall how much hay Michael Moore made of the fact that George W. Bush read My Pet Goat for nine minutes in that Florida classroom on 9/11 after being informed that the first plane had struck.
"We’re going on four weeks now, or more, that Barack Obama has been reading My Pet Goat."
The 30,000-foot presidency? "In foreign affairs, Americans expect their President not just to lead the debate here in the US but around the world. Congress can advise on foreign affairs, but the executive has all of the authority to negotiate American interests abroad. Maintaining a “low profile” and ceding influence to France is not exactly what Americans consider leadership on the world stage, a role we expect our Presidents to assume."The “above-the-fray strategy” argument is weak cover for an “over-his-head” President."
The Whiniest President Ever
National Review "President Obama gives off a sense of world-weariness and exhaustion with America’s leadership — and has earned a Nobel Peace Prize as a result. He reflects the deep vein of declinism running through the country’s elite, the same class of people who pronounced the presidency uninhabitable just as Ronald Reagan arrived to prove them wrong.

The King Hearings on Islam
From the Media Research Center: CBS Uses American Muslim Family to Frame Hearings on Radical Islam as Discriminatory "Anchor Katie Couric introduced Doane's report this way: "...most of the more than two and a half million Muslims living in this country want it known they are patriotic Americans." As if the hearings somehow accused all American Muslims of being unpatriotic."
CBS Accuses Peter King of 'Poisoning the Atmosphere' of Radical Islam Hearings "During her Evening News report, Cordes hit King for only inviting witnesses to testify who "share his view that some Muslim-American leaders aren't cooperating with law enforcement." She added that "From the start, Democrats called the hearing an abuse of power." However, later in the segment, she touted emotional testimony from Democratic Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, one of two Muslims in Congress, who disagreed with King's premise."
CNN's Velshi: Rep. Peter King Has 'Strange Obsession with Islam' "Perhaps he doesn't understand that Islamist is a synonym for a radical Muslim, and that the term, in its current usage, has been around for decades, and has its origin in French academia."
Unravelling the Social Fabric of Our Lives "...Muslim gangs growing more dangerous in Minnesota -- a trend we are seeing in Maine as well, where Muslim gangs are wilding, leaving terror in their wake. Women are intimidated and slapped on the street. Police report that swarms of Somali Muslim boys, some as young as 8, others in their late teens, overwhelm solitary victims through sheer numbers. These gang members carry sticks and rocks with which to intimidate their victims. There are often four or five of them, sometimes as many as a dozen." Atlas Shrugs.

Wisconsin Aftershocks "The law was supposed to be published on Monday, and it would go into effect immediately. But guess what? Didn't happen. The new law wasn't published yesterday. In fact, the law will not be published until March 25th. Why not? Well, because the Secretary of State Doug La Follette, who is a Democrat (as if you didn't already know that) is delaying publication. He thinks this will give unions and local governments as much time as they need to reach new agreements."

'They Can't Win': Mika Mocks '12 GOP Field
Newsbusters "The Morning Joe co-host today disdainfully dismissed the GOP White House hopefuls, categorically stating "they can't win." Mika made her triumphal declaration during a panel discussion of Republican primary prospects. Pat Buchanan countered with the '92 historical analogy."

"Sandell cued up a California Democrat with a loaded question: “NOAA's budget gets cut, are people's lives more at risk?” The Congressman, who represents the state’s northern coast, naturally, agreed: “Absolutely.” "
