‘My Dad Separated From Me’: Ted Turner’s Son Blames Jane Fonda For Dad Becoming A Communist Revolutionary

Pat Dollard
Excerpted from Fox News: Teddy Turner, son of billionaire media mogul Ted Turner and Republican candidate for Congress, said his father’s marriage to Jane Fonda prompted his major left turn.
“I was raised in a different time at the Turner household … a very conservative household with capitalism and all of that kind of stuff,” the younger Turner told Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.”
....
Ted Turner, who founded CNN and once owned the Atlanta Braves, married Fonda in 1991. The actress ...apparently had an influence that outlasted their marriage.
... “Then when you start hanging around and everybody you’re hanging around with is liberal, then you tend to move more liberal.’’

Steyn declares America ‘doomed’ in wake of Pop Tart gun suspension

Daily Caller
"Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” compared this generation of children, who may have felt threatened by the so-called Pop Tart gun, to the American generation that stormed the beaches of Normandy.
" “You’re doomed, America,” Steyn said. “You’re done for. No society can survive this level of stupidity. The school counselor is available to meet with any students who are traumatized by hearing reports of some guy four grades below them who nibbles a Pop Tart into a gun-like shape." Read more:

From Free-Range Kids:  Right to Bear Gun-Shaped Pop-Tarts Law Drafted  "There’s hope! In a way, all the ridiculous Zero Tolerance incidents of the past few weeks — the kids suspended for the Hello Kitty bubble gun, and the Lego gun, and the imaginary grenade throw in a game of imaginary save-the-world, and last but not least the terrifying pastry gun — have given impetus to a bill proposed by Maryland State Senator  J.B. Jennings (R). His “Reasonable School Discipline Act of 2013″ would de-criminalize kids who are playing and happen to make or mention a play gun."....

Ryan Plan Restores Welfare Work Requirements   ...."In addition to those reforms, the Ryan budget “calls for time limits and work requirements.”
"Both of which were quietly removed by Obama as part of his stimulus package, back in 2009. A detail that no one in the news media has ever bothered to report.
"Bear in mind, this work requirement is different from the welfare work requirement, which Obama also gutted back in July of 2012."
Emphasis in the original.

A Ryan Reboot  "The political class seems to be scandalized that Paul Ryan had the cheek Tuesday to propose another reform budget. Doesn't the House Budget Chairman understand that the 2012 election settled every political question in President Obama's favor?"

Obama’s approval drops as Americans take a dimmer view of his economic policies  "At 50 percent, Obama’s overall standing in the poll is lower than that of most other modern second-term presidents at this point in their terms."

MyJihad campaign spreads across America

Very effective PR campaign and one we wish we could believe represents Muslims worldwide. However I cannot get the images out of my mind of Muslims dancing in the streets over 9-11 and over the death of the Israeli shuttle astronaut . TD

MyJihad.org is a public education campaign that seeks to share the proper meaning of Jihad as believed and practiced by the majority of Muslims. Jihad means "struggling in the way of God". The way of God, being goodness, justice, passion, compassion, etc. It is putting up the good fight against whatever odds or barriers you face in your life. It is a central tenet of the Islamic creed that has unfortunately been widely misrepresented due to a) first and foremost, the actions of Muslim extremists, b) attempts at public indoctrination by Islamophobes who claim that the extremists are right and the rest of us are wrong, and c) a selective media that understandably focuses on the sensational."... 


Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs sees MyJihad in a different light and has placed ads countering it's representations in several metropolitan areas including San Francisco.  The ads sponsored by AFDI use the words of the jihadis themselves:
"Those are hateful words, to be sure: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.” They come from Hamas, and it would be impossible to overstate the evil of that organization. For just one example, check out this post on how Hamas teaches kindergarteners in Gaza. How hateful can you get?"

....This is one of the most perverse reversals of common sense ever. Praising the killing of Jews isn’t hate speech, that is perfectly fine! But exposing the fact that Hamas advocates killing Jews–that is “hate speech,” and “Islamophobic bigotry” which “good people” are obligated to condemn! And those who seek to let people know that Hamas views Jew-killing with unalloyed favor are “well-known hate extremists!”
