Some parting photos of the Chick-fil-A events

WE THE PEOPLE have spoken!
Hat tip to Don Gilbert, Hillsboro, Oregon

Twitchy
"An article at Twitchy noted that liberal "tolerance bullies" celebrated the vandalism." "Chick-fil-A vandalized overnight with hateful graffiti. That's very good. I would have set fire to it," one person tweeted."
Sigh. 

What Obama Has in Store for Us

John Fund at NRO  "D’Souza, a bestselling author and the president of King’s College in New York, emigrated from India as a boy, and he says he understands something of how Obama’s exotic upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia might have shaped his view of America. But D’Souza, a conservative, sees America as a land of tolerance and opportunity. He believes Obama “adopted his [anti-colonialist] father’s position that capitalism and free markets are code words for economic plunder. Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America.” That may be stretching things just a bit, but remember, it was the president himself who just told small-business owners they can’t take credit for their own success.
.... "But the film scores points by highlighting Obama’s bizarre reluctance to develop North American oil and gas reserves while encouraging developing nations to develop theirs.

"No one can really claim they know exactly what makes the president tick. But 2016: Obama’s America leaves enough clues on the table to make us wonder if we would be taking an even bigger risk in reelecting him than we took in 2008. After all, we’ve never observed the actions of a Barack Obama who knows he will never have to face an electorate again."

Talk about gaffes

  israel today; Obama, Palestinians irked by Romney remarks on Jerusalem

"In 1995, the US Congress officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and legislated that the American embassy be moved there. But every six months since, a succession of American presidents have invoked a national security clause to postpone implementation of that legislation, fearing an Arab and Muslim backlash.
"Both Israel and the Palestinians believe Romney may reverse that policy."
NRO; Romney’s Truth Telling; Palestinians would profit from recognizing the success of Israeli culture.  "Even before they came here, even before they were Americans, emigrants from England were used to an active civic life, trial by jury, freedom of speech and the press, individual rights and their assertion. “They carried these free institutions and virile mores with them to America,” Tocqueville writes, “and these characteristics sustained them against the encroachments of the state.” They made themselves, as a result, wealthy and free."  Rich Lowry

Urban Legend: Is President Obama honoring Jane Fonda as one of the women of the century?

Conservatives must make sure that only Harry Reid and his Democrats are known for making up lies and phony rumors. Don't pass stories like these on until you have checked them against sites such as this one. TD
Fact Check.org  No. That was done 11 years ago by Barbara Walters of ABC News.
"It is simply false that the president is planning to honor Jane Fonda as one of the "100 women of the century," as this chain e-mail claims. 
"Fonda was one of many women featured in a Barbara Walters special for ABC News called "A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women," which looked at the "most inspiring, intriguing and entertaining" women of the 20th century. It was actually based on a list of the "100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century" selected by a panel for Ladies’ Home Journal.  
"The program hosted by Walters aired on April 30, 1999, nearly 10 years prior to Obama becoming president. Versions of this e-mail — without references to Obama, of course — began circulating soon after Walters’ special aired. They make some false claims about Fonda."  
But this does not mean that she is not among the likes of Bill Ayres and the others of the 60's left who flaunted the "peace" sign (so popular in school fashions today) as they spat on our returning troops and called them "baby killers". (By the way, have any of those people applied that term to Palestinian terrorists?)

But a couple were true; as you will read in this article.

$465 for Amnesty: Obama to Make Illegals Legal Before Election Day

From We the People 

"And now, in a climate where Americans and Mexicans who are here legally alike can’t find jobs, Obama has moved into the second phase of his cynical power grab by granting what can only be defined as amnesty for a measly $465
"The Department of Homeland Security today announced details of the application and approval process for the DREAM Act-like program, outlining specific eligibility requirements and a $465 fee. It will begin Aug. 15."

"The ABC's of Journalism's Eroding Integrity" and other stories about the media (UPDATED!)

By Alan Caruba at Warning Signs  "I joined the Society of Professional Journalists... thirty-three years ago. The preamble to its Code of Ethics says, “Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility” and that journalists should “test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent errors.” "
...."The kind of reporting that has become the hallmark of ABC News is an insult to everyone.
....
"The ABC News product increasingly ceases to be journalism. It is sensationalism. It is reprehensible. It’s time to let ABC News feel the sting of public disapproval."  Full Article...  (Emphasis added)


Caruba's piece naturally leads us to these other related stories:
ABC Sees 'Outrageous and Apparently Unfounded' Charge By Reid, Revisits Romney's Taxes  "But Reid is really just trying to goad Romney into releasing more tax returns. He's only released last year's return and an estimate of this year's, showing he paid a tax rate of about 13.9 percent. Last week, David Muir asked him about that."

NPR Abandons News Format, Becomes Super PAC for Obama "....the president--who maintains that Republican rival Mitt Romney may be a “felon”--launched a series of new and false attacks on Romney’s proposed tax cuts. Shapiro repeated three of the Obama campaign's lies about taxes and the General Motors bailout."
