Coulter: White liberals tell black lies about civil rights

Ann Coulter

"It wasn’t a “tough” decision for Eisenhower to send troops to Little Rock in 1957.
"In the presidential campaign the year before, the Republican platform had expressly endorsed the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The Democratic platform did not.
"To the contrary, that year, 99 members of Congress signed the “Southern Manifesto” denouncing the court’s ruling in Brown. Two were Republicans. Ninety-seven were Democrats.
"As president, Eisenhower pushed through the 1957 Civil Rights Act and the 1960 Civil Rights Act. He established the Civil Rights Commission. It was Eisenhower, not Truman, who fully desegregated the military.
"Meanwhile, the Brown decision was being openly defied by the Democratic governor of Arkansas (and Bill Clinton pal), Orval Faubus, who refused to admit black students to Little Rock Central High School.
....
"As LBJ explained to fellow Democrats after doing a 180-flip on civil rights as president and pushing the 1964 Civil Rights Act (which resembled the 1957 Civil Rights Act he had gutted as a senator): “I’ll have them ni---rs voting Democratic for two hundred years.” That’s according to a steward on Air Force One, who overhead him say it."

The press narrative on Dorner takes shape

Before we proceed to the main article below, let's learn a bit about Dorner's victimsYeah, OK; "alleged victims", who were allegedly murdered. And who will be allegedly buried soon while their families mourn their alleged loss.
 
Michael Crain, 34  "Crain, a police officer with the city of Riverside, was mortally wounded on Feb. 7 in an ambush shooting as he sat in a police car at a stoplight.
Crain, 34, leaves his wife, a 4-year-old daughter and a son, 10. They remain under police protection until Dorner is caught.
Jeremiah MacKay, 35   "MacKay was a sheriff’s deputy based out of Yucaipa and graduated from Rim of the World High School in 1995. He was married and had children, according to his Facebook page. He was the sergeant-at-arms for the Emerald Society."

Keith Lawrence, 27 " Some at USC want the public to know that Keith Lawrence was more than just a loving partner to fiancee Monica Quan — he was a young law enforcement officer with a bright future."



Monica Quan, 28  "Quan and Lawrence were found shot to death Feb. 3 in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium complex. The couple was allegedly killed by former LAPD officer Christopher Jordan Dorner, who was fired from the department in 2009. Authorities believe Dorner, who was represented by Quan’s father at his termination hearing, targeted Monica Quan and her fiance in an act of revenge."

Now, on to the story:
This headline paints the picture: Dorner manhunt: Incendiary tear gas reportedly used on cabin
Doesn't that send the message that the police set the fire intentionally?
LA Times 
"Faced with regular barrages of gunfire, officers confronting suspected killer Christopher Dorner lobbed incendiary tear gas into the cabin where Dorner allegedly was holed up, said law enforcement officials with knowledge of the situation.
"The cabin caught on fire and authorities believe Dorner was burned inside. A body was discovered but authorities have not confirmed it was Dorner."

Five paragraphs down, the article says:
Hoping to end the standoff, law enforcement authorities first lobbed "traditional" tear gas into the cabin. When that did not work, they opted to use CS gas canisters, which are known in law enforcement parlance as incendiary tear gas. These canisters have significantly more chance of starting a fire. This gas can cause humans to have burning eyes and start to feel as if they are being starved for oxygen. It is often used to drive barricaded individuals out.
What conditions did Dorner create inside the cabin that ignited the gas?

Don't take this next article seriously; it comes from The Peoples Cube:
President Orders Flags to Half Staff for Activist Dorner
Dear Comrades,
On news of the heroic death of Social Justice Activist
Christopher Dorner, Comrade Party Chairman and President Barack Barackovich Obama has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff until his remains are brought to Washington DC for interment at Arlington National Cemetery. In addition, three days of official mourning have been ordered, and all non-essential Federal workers have been given paid leave to participate in tribute activities
Now we prepare for the LA Times to demolish the police for whatever actions they took in the manhunt. Watch for pictures of sad and angry faces of Dorner's family with reports of their pending lawsuits.

The State of Our Union Rendered in a Fractured Bizarro Lens

Bryan Preston at PJ Tatler 
Lincoln Comp 590 cdn
"Obama called for the federal government to “redesign high schools.” Does he not know that schools are creatures of local and state, not the federal, governments? Does he care? Does he see no limits at all on the things that should occupy a president’s time?
"And again, on what basis does the president who cannot even submit a budget make the claim that he is qualified to redesign high schools?
"It’s all absurd. Barack Obama is the absurd president. He makes no attempt to make any sense, yet the media will pretend that he is a visionary.
"The reality is, Barack Obama is just a very powerful crank."
Emphasis added. Via Lucianne

Did ANYONE notice Rubio's effective rebuttal to Obama's policies?

Let's get this Rubio thing out of the way first. The transcript of his rebuttal will be so much more effective than the video.
UPDATE: Read Rubio's rebuttal transcript here before you get to anything that MSNBC has said.
"The Office of Speaker Boehner released a transcript of Marco Rubio's State of the Union speech (as prepared for delivery). Read the full text of the rebuttal below:"....Excerpt here:
....And more government isn’t going to inspire new ideas, new businesses and new private sector jobs. It’s going to create uncertainty.
Because more government breeds complicated rules and laws that a small business can’t afford to follow.
Because more government raises taxes on employers who then pass the costs on to their employees through fewer hours, lower pay and even layoffs....

Rubio's Strong, Accessible Rebuttal  "Responding to a presidential State of the Union speech is often a thankless task. Following the president's act, which oozes prestige and historic significance, almost always makes the next guy seem small and trivial by comparison.... Sen. Marco Rubio broke the mold last night.  He delivered a substantive, relatable and cheerful response, and did so with a natural and effective ease:" I wish. But Rubio did go straight for Obama and his polemics.

It is doubtful many will remember much of the content of Marco Rubio's Republican response to the State of the Union, but many will recall his untimely thirst.  "As was the case with Mitt Romney's "binders full of women comment," the blogosphere was abuzz following the akward incident.
From political aggregator Philip Bump:
Posted by Sen. Rubio
"Let's analyze why Rubio's lunge was awkward.
  1. He hasn't finished his sentence. Finish your sentence first!
  2. Commit to the water. Stop. Drink. When you're done, say excuse me and continue.
  3. Do not look at the camera while reaching for/replacing the bottle. It makes you look very nervous.
  4. And absolutely no matter what, do not look at the camera while drinking. Do not do that.
"Hope that helps, future presidents."
This same writer also said of Obama:
"Of all of his State of the Union addresses, this may be the president’s most informative and instructive, providing a summary of what he has already accomplished, and listing what he needs to do."
Politico - which Rush considers an online version of MSNBC - had this on Rubio's drink:  "Twitter exploded during Sen. Marco Rubio’s Republican response to the State of the Union, as the Florida senator appeared a little sweaty and dry-mouthed at mid-speech, taking an awkward swig from a bottle of water that had been placed off-camera. Rubio handled the hullabaloo with some humor, later tweeting a picture of the water bottle."

Neal Boortz: Excuse me, but I wasn't paying attention.  "Back then we realized what a great potential for American leadership rested in
Marco Rubio.  Last night he showed it in his response to The Destroyer.  Here’s a link to Rubio’s response.  Read it.
"This man – this Marco Rubio – may be America’s best – and last – hope."

This cartoonist dislikes Republicans intensely, but appears to be getting a bit less enamored of Obama as well

Reading list on last night's SOTU. Be sure to read the Victor Davis Hanson commentary here.

CNS: Not a Long, Nor a Long-Lasting Speech "President Obama carefully said that: "In 2011, Congress passed a law saying that if both parties couldn't agree on a plan to reach our deficit goal, about a trillion dollars' worth of budget cuts would automatically go into effect."
"The Congress didn't "pass a law." It passed a bill. The bill they passed went to the White House for President Obama's signature. Only after he signed it did it become "law.""  Emphasis added

CNS: 57 Vacation Days Since Vowing He 'Will Not Rest Until Anyone' Can Find A GOOD Job   "But 1,245 days later, including at least 57 days off, millions of Americans are still out of work with unemployment at 7.9 percent, 0.1 percent higher than when he took office."
Political Cartoons by Jerry Holbert

The Great Man Speaks "Who has the time or the inclination to listen to our President?  So I have prepared a synopsis of his speech.  You could read this or basically, just listen to any other of his speeches."   Read more:


A short note on Speaker Boehner's expression  "In Boehner's face, I saw a man pushed too far. Is he ready to say no to a big spending bully? Let's hope."

Obama blind to his own irony  "But the very Chicago-style tactician who once cracked wise about "bringing a knife to a gunfight" seeks to make sure that Americans never have more than a knife to bring to a gunfight."
From the editors of NRO: The Broke, Retreating State of Our Union 
"The president’s confrontational, hectoring, and highly ideological speech ought to be a wake-up call to the country. The Republican majority in the House is the only real check on his power. Supplementing that check with a Republican majority in the Senate is imperative. Even through all of President Obama’s obfuscations, that much is clear."
Isn't even Obama's sycophantic media getting at least a little bit tired of this petulant juvenile and his in-your-face hubris?

The President’s Miracle-Gro Government  "Just add taxes. Spend. Repeat."

Victor Davis Hanson; Déjà Vu — You Think?  "Five years ago, the well-delivered script caused fainting, now it should earn mostly yawns: Fault the well off; invest more borrowed money in more federal programs that have no demonstrable record of success; blame the bad news on others; ignore the $1 trillion-plus annual borrowing; threaten to use more executive orders; demonize the opposition; take bad news abroad and declare it good, and fluff everything up with the hope-and-change cadences that address the trivial and avoid the fundamental." 
Predictable, Forgettable The speech "will be long forgotten in a few short weeks. And that’s certainly good news for the State of the Union"

Obama’s Most Audacious SOTU Lie  "Obamacare is slowing the growth of health care costs?"  The hope of audacity.

Obama’s Most Dishonest State of the Union Address  ...."Obama claimed that spending was under control, the national debt was no longer a problem, the war in Afghanistan had been won, the economic recovery was here, unemployment was fading and Al Qaeda was a shadow of its former self."
...."While Obama lost the War in Afghanistan to the Taliban and will “complete the mission” by retreating and letting them have the country, Al Qaeda has spread across North Africa and came within a hair of taking over Mali."
 
I could keep going with all of this, you know. NBC won't say these things, so somebody has to.  The Tunnel Dweller

Obama Says, ‘Nothing I’m Proposing Tonight Should Increase Our Deficit by a Single Dime’—Then Offers 29 New Programs

Oh, No! Not that "not one dime" shtick again!

CNS News "In fiscal year 2008, the year before Obama took office, federal spending was $2.98 trillion, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget. In fiscal 2013, the current year, OMB estimates that federal spending will be $3.80 trillion---an increase of 37.5 percent.
"Here, in Obama’s words, are 29 new programs he proposed in his State of the Union, while asserting he would not increase the federal deficit by a "single dime":"...
