A time for courage, and action
"And he did a pretty good job.
"Obama, on the other hand, was a horrible candidate. He was mean and vindictive. He was contemptuous and superficial. He ran on irrelevancies like abortion and a fictitious Republican war against women. He didn't give his supporters any reason to feel good about themselves.
"Instead, he used class warfare to stir them to hatred of their countrymen.
"Yet Obama won. And Romney lost."....
...."No one said any of this will be easy. But difficult is not the same as impossible. Within a year, the consequences of Obama's failed domestic and foreign policies will make him weaker rather than stronger than he was in his first term. He will be hard pressed to pressure Israel when the US loses its leadership role in the Muslim Brotherhood- dominated Middle East. And Israel's independence of action will consequently grow.
"Our side suffered a massive loss on [Election Day]."
About Caroline Glick:
I am the senior fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC and travel several times a year to Washington where I routinely brief senior administration officials and members of Congress on issues of joint Israeli-American concern.
In its Israeli Independence Day supplement in 2003, Ma’ariv named me the most prominent woman in Israel. In December 2005, I was awarded the Ben Hecht award for Middle East reporting from the Zionist Organization of America. In January 2006, I was awarded the Abramowitz Prize for Media Criticism by Israel Media Watch.
The U.N. Tilt to Terrorists
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE "Nowhere in the charter of the United Nations is there any mandate for the U.N. to stack the deck in favor of terrorists. Yet that is exactly the effect of the current U.N. furor over conflict between Israel and the terrorists who control Gaza.
"When terrorists in Hamas-run Gaza busied themselves in recent years launching well over 2,000 rocket and mortar attacks on Israel, including hundreds of attacks in recent months, the U.N. shrugged it off as business as usual. That’s not to say that the U.N. ignored the attacks entirely. As the bombardments went on, and on, a few U.N. officials did occasionally call for them to stop. But these statements were invariably coupled with calls for Israel to practice “restraint,” or, as Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon put it last week, “maximum restraint.” Under the circumstances, this amounts to a demand that Israel refrain from defending itself."
Inhumanity In Gaza "If you took the world’s liberal media seriously, you might think that Hamas is a group of human rights activists whose worst sin is protesting against Israel’s “occupation.” Occupation of what? Not Gaza, obviously. But the truth is that Hamas is a brutal, inhuman terrorist organization–worse, a brutal, inhuman terrorist organization that is supported by many, perhaps most, inhabitants of Gaza."
"So this is what Israel is up against. Are these Hamas terrorists even human beings? Watch the video, and judge for yourself. If they are humans, they are depraved and degraded to an extent that makes them unrecognizable as such."

Unions Feel Emboldened
Neal Boortz "This is anecdotal, I know … no way to verify it … but the story is being told on Twitter of a Christian living in Israel just returned to her church in the U.S. an told other members of the congregation that as soon as Obama won reelection the Israelis knew the rockets would be coming soon. That’s pretty easy to believe. Why WOULDN’T Hamas and other Mideast Islamic terrorist groups be encouraged by Obama’s reelection? First, he clearly holds Israel in disdain, and, as we’ve found out, he is reluctant to call them out even when they kill an American Ambassador! “That? Oh, just blame it on a video.”
"Unions are feeling pretty much the same way .. emboldened. Obama’s win means they can really start to flex their muscles; after all, they have their “man” in the White House.
"And thus endeth the Twinkie.
"You know the Twinkie story .. and if you don’t, how about some bullet points."....

"It’s no coincidence that the labor unions have ramped up their activities. They poured tens of millions of dollars into the reelection of Obama, and they see this as a personal victory … a green light, if you will, to seek additional favors from the Obama Junta. Those favors that can’t be gathered through legislative action (the GOP does still control the House, thank God!) they will seek through administrative action; principally through rules changes with the National Labor Relations Board."
