Charles Krauthammer; Stewardship? Or ideology?


http://terrellaftermath.com/
Washington Post  "We are in the midst of a once-in-a-generation debate about the nature of the welfare state (entitlement vs. safety net) and, indeed, of the social contract between citizen and state (e.g., whether Congress can mandate — compel — you to purchase whatever it wills). Let’s finish that debate. Start with Obama’s abysmal stewardship, root it in his out-of-touch social-democratic ideology, and win. That would create the strongest mandate for conservative governance since the Reagan era."

Obama Recovery  "I know … let’s blame the Republicans!
"Take a look at this headline: Are Republicans Intentionally Sabotaging Economy For Political Gain? Can you believe that? The headline doesn’t ask if Democrats are scaring the diapers off old ladies for political gain. Not, it’s the Republicans sabotaging the economy." Neal Boortz



 

Democrats against those who depend on the coal industry

As Promised, Obama Is Destroying Coal Industry  "Remember when Obama shockingly promised before the election that he would bankrupt the coal industry that provides us with about half our electric power?"
Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.
Overall, the rules aimed at making the air cleaner could cost the coal-fired power plant industry $180 billion, warns a trade group.
"Many of these severe impacts would hit families living in states already facing serious economic challenges," said Steve Miller, president of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. "Because of these impacts, EPA should make major changes to the proposed regulations before they are finalized," he said.

Obama's New EPA Rules Would Destroy Our Energy Sector  "Obama has not been able to implement his full load of destructive polices via Congress. That is why the largest portion of his attacks on America have been made through his powers to regulate. These EPA rules are just two more examples of the hundreds Obama has perpetrated on this country. And they are nothing compared to what he really wants to do."  Warner Todd Huston

Coal industry braces for declining demand if EPA pollution rules pass  "American Electric Power's plan to shutter a string of aging coal-fired electric plants if regulators adopt strict new pollution rules is likely the first in a series of similar decisions, which has the coal industry bracing for waning demand."
"The AEP warning came in response to new rules proposed for coal-fired power plants by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It follows April's announcement by the Tennessee Valley Authority that it would shut down about 16 percent of its coal-fired generating capacity to settle air quality lawsuits with several states."

It's all Bush's fault

The Iranian Threat That Can’t Be Ignored


Heritage  "The leader of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once said that Israel must be “wiped off the map.” And now Iran stands poised to have its finger on the trigger of a nuclear weapon, yet the Obama Administration continues to remain virtually silent on the nascent threat, all while the clouds amassing over the Iranian Peninsula are growing too dark to ignore."....
"The President’s refusal to honestly confront the severity of the Iranian threat — let alone condemn the regime’s actions — is in keeping with his pursuit of his new way in the Middle East, an Obama Doctrine characterized by charming one’s enemies rather than recognizing the realities of the world."

2008: Obama pooh-poohs danger from 'tiny' Iran  ""I take back everything I ever said about Obama and correct myself," wrote one contributor. "He's not just a moron. He's a full scale idiot who knowns (sic) absolutely nothing about history or the world. Don't worry about Iran? Who stole his brain? This guy as POTUS … good night free world."
"Obama was advocating for his stated position of being willing to hold discussions with leaders of rogue nations, such as Iran."
Foreign policy of a junior-higher.

Does Obama Understand the Threat of a Nuclear Iran? "We cannot allow history to repeat itself. Today we are facing an evil much worse than we did in 1938. Appeasement and vacillation do not work. World peace, global stability and millions of lives are on the line. Our first priority should be to stop these radicals in their tracks and to help Iranians free themselves from this evil."

From Judicial Watch: Congressional Disgrace

Judicial Watch "A president has an affair with a White House intern; “allegedly” sexually assaults a woman outside the Oval Office; is credibly accused of rape; hires investigators to intimidate witnesses; and lies to the American people, his cabinet, a federal court and grand jury, etc…that president didn’t resign. The Senate couldn’t even be bothered to remove him from office. Weiner must think, “If Clinton didn’t go, why should I?” Bill Clinton is an elder statesman in this corrupt city. His wife, who helped orchestrate the effort to destroy the women* who were witnesses against him, is our pretender Secretary of State. The Clinton way is now the prevailing ethic for Washington, especially for liberal politicians."

Pelosi Hypocrisy: She Called FBI on Mark Foley But Gives Weiner a Pass  "Back in 2006 Nancy Pelosi was leading the charge on the Foley email scandal. She said it was for the children. Pelosi statement on the Foley investigation:" 
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on news reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is opening a preliminary investigation of the sexually explicit e-mails Congressman Mark Foley sent an underage former House Page.
....
"Congress must not pass the buck on investigating this cover up. The children, their parents, the public, and our colleagues must be assured that such abhorrent behavior is not tolerated and will never happen again."
