Charles Krauthammer Says Liberals Have No New Ideas (Video)

Heritage  "Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer is one of America’s foremost political commentators. He is among the sharpest critics of the Obama administration and liberalism.

"The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas spoke to Krauthammer about the state of affairs in America, the social contract and the left’s domination of cultural institutions. In the video above, Krauthammer outlines why modern liberalism is lacking new ideas to solve the country’s myriad of problems.

"Two years ago this month Krauthammer spoke at Heritage about President Obama’s approach to foreign policy."

Baptism by Fire:The networks were uninterested in Obama's Rev. Wright connection, but have gotten religion and are using it to target conservative candidates.

Media Research Center Network  "Media preoccupation with the GOP candidates' faith is the exact opposite of how they covered (or didn't) candidate Obama's 20-year attendance at the church of a racist, anti-American pastor who subscribed to "black liberation theology," or Obama's half-Muslim heritage."
....
 "Questions about Barack Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, surfaced in early in March 2007 and were covered on Fox News and in newspapers, but it took an entire year for any of the networks to mention Wright. Out of 11 mentions of Obama's religion, not one challenged, criticized or took his statements at anything other than face value."

Breakpoint: Seven are arrested in New York for protesting a discriminatory ban against churches  "The protest was part of an ongoing effort to overturn the city's ban against religious groups' use of public schools for worship services, scheduled to go into effect on Feb. 12."  More here. 

California Lawmaker: Let Boys Be Girls…And Girls Be Boys.

Big Government "Forget about the National Enquirer, TMZ.com or any other lurid tabloid publication. No need for MAD Magazine or Al Goldstein’s “Screw” Magazine anymore. If you really want to be entertained just go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/  and read some of the laws that are being proposed by the far left assemblymen and women who populate the halls of our state capital in Sacramento."....
"Translation: If John, who “identifies” himself as Jane, wants to play on the girls JV volleyball team as a girl then he must be permitted to do so. In addition, the bill would also require opposite-sex access to “sex-segregated facilities” such as locker rooms and bathrooms. We all know that would present no potential problems…right? Wrong."....

"In a state where schools are already suffering the consequences of laws and policies that promote dysfunction and chaos, enacting this proposal will be like tossing gasoline on a campfire. Policing and implementing this proposal would be the nail in the coffin for many school districts that do not have the resources…economic or otherwise…to do so.

The fact that a bill of this nature is even being considered is a strong indication that the political pathology that infected Sacramento a long time ago is still alive and well. Boys need to stay boys and girls need to stay girls, at least until they graduate high school."

U.S. Falls in Index of Economic Freedom

Wall Street Journal "How about the U.S., historically the country more responsible than any other for leading the march of freedom? Under President Barack Obama, it has moved to the back of the band. Its economic freedom score has dropped to 76.3 in 2012 from 81.2 in 2007 (on a scale of 0-100). Government expenditures have grown to a level equivalent to over 40% of GDP, and total public debt exceeds the size of the economy."....
"The 2012 results show the torch of leadership in advancing freedom passing to other regions. Whether this is a long-term trend remains to be seen, but it is clear that if America and Europe do not soon regain trust in the principles of economic freedom on which their historical successes have been built, their people, and perhaps those of the world as a whole, are in for dark days ahead."
Mr. Feulner is president of the Heritage Foundation and co-editor of the 2012 Index of Economic Freedom.

DNC Web Video Hits Romney For "Fire" Comment  "This DNC video shows Mitt Romney saying "I like being able to fire people" and then plays clips from popular movies and television programs of being people being fired." 
 Perhaps other Republican challengers can use this video for themselves as well.  Nice going, Republicans.


In Praise of Newt  "Wow Newt!  I guess any publicity is good publicity, eh?  You really "stuck it to the man" Newt!  Just like Jack Kemp would do, right? Newt rolled up his happy warrior sleeves and set up his OWS tent to mindlessly dismantle the "establishment."  Great job Newt!  What's next Newt, defecating on a South Carolina police car?"


Romney’s Profitable Past  "... Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman seem to be engaged in a perverse contest to be the Republican presidential candidate to say the most asinine thing about Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital, the private-equity firm at which he served as chief executive, helped turn around a number of failing businesses, and, in the process, produced magnificent profits for his investors and for himself. Mitt Romney ran a firm that invested in struggling businesses, made money, and never asked for a bailout — and Romney’s rivals apparently expect Republican voters to regard that as a liability.

Obama: ‘Everything that we fought for is now at stake in this election’

Sun-Times Media "“If you’re willing to work even harder in this election than you did in the last election, I promise you, change will come. God bless you Chicago, I love you!” "
....

"Even though this is his first visit to his campaign headquarters, Illinois Republicans charge that most of his administration’s key decisions are made at the Prudential Building — and not the White House.

"“There hasn’t been a decision out of the White House in three weeks that’s not political,” said Illinois Republican party Chairman Pat Brady."  Via Drudge.

Obama in Chicago: 1 day, $2 million, 3 fundraisers  The final event of the night, was held at the residence of Stuart Taylor, managing partner of The Taylor Group, a private equity firm. Over 140 people reportedly attended paying $7,500 for a ticket.

"It's all my neighbors!" Obama said as he walked into the event, according to White House pool reports."

Would those neighbors include Bill Ayres?

Exit the moderates . . . and weep for the economy  "The announcement that Bill Daley will step down as President Obama’s chief of staff is further proof that as the 2012 election approaches, Obama is embracing his inner leftist on anything touching the economy. The administration has moved so far left that even one of the country’s most prominent Democrats can’t fit in."  H/T to Neal Boortz.
