Iranian Nukes and Global Oil
The American Interest "Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program is one of the most acute national security challenges facing the United States, for reasons that are not entirely well appreciated. Whatever else it would portend, an Iranian nuclear breakout would pose first-order challenges to the stability of the entire global economic order via its impact on energy prices, a concern with obvious broad strategic implications." 
The good Dershowitz vs. Jimmy Carter
"Dershowitz told The Algemeiner in an interview: “I can’t imagine a worse person to honor for conflict resolution. Here’s a man who has engendered conflict wherever he goes. He has encouraged terrorism by Hamas and Hezbollah. He was partly responsible for Yasser Arafat turning down the Clinton-Barak peace offer.” "
....
"In another part of his interview, Dershowitz pointed out that “Carter during his presidency sat idly by while 2 million Cambodians were killed by Pol Pot.” But that, reprehensible as it was, is not what interests me here. What interests me is how Jews could give an award to such a person. What strange delirium compels it?"
....
"I think we can say that Alan Dershowitz has largely kept his moral compass. Jimmy Carter is another matter."....
Jimmy Carter to be Honored by Yeshiva University’s Law School Amid Alumni Opposition "Meanwhile, a number of Cardozo alumni plan to use civil disobedience to block Carter from attending the event.
" “Mr. Carter ain’t going to get anywhere,” Daniel Rubin, 62, told the Forward. “There’s no reason for a school that has any sense of Jewish integrity to have a guy like that around,” he added."(MSNBC Update) The media being what it, unfortunately, is
UPDATE: Why is MSNBC aping George Orwell's villains? "In George Orwell's 1984, we find this dystopian observation taking place in the fictional land of Oceania:
Our hopelessly biased and transparently partisan media "Technically speaking, the younger Salmon was probably not "booked" in the sense he had confirmation of appearing on the air. But there is absolutely no doubt that the networks lost interest in him once it became clear he wouldn't go on air to "trash" his father.
"Not admitting that is the same as lying."
Imus: Jesus May Have Been Gay "Make a racist remark, get fired by CBS. Call Jesus Christ gay, and you’re good to go. Just ask Don Imus."
By the way: Thousands March for Marriage; Media Ignore Them
"The broadcast outlets were silent on the event, choosing not to cover a march of thousands of people on the Supreme Court."
ABC, CBS and NBC Turn a Blind Eye to ObamaCare Setbacks "The following setbacks for ObamaCare haven't received a single second of air time on the Big Three networks:"
Fox News Reporter Faces Jail Time for Maintaining Sources' Secrecy, Yet Liberal Media Not Taking Up Her Cause "Fox News reporter Jana Winter may serve six months in jail for refusing to disclose to a court two anonymous sources from a story she broke on July 25, 2012, related to alleged Aurora, Colorado theater shooter James Holmes."
The family could not actually be abolished, and, indeed, people were encouraged to be fond of their children, in almost the old-fashioned way. The children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations. The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately.

ABC Family Leads the Way in All Things Gay "New lesbian foster couple show will fit right in with network’s idea of ‘family.’ "
When Pat Robertson sold his “Family Channel” to Disney with the stipulation that the word “family” never leave the channel’s title, he probably wasn’t thinking families would include pregnant teens and lesbian foster couples. But that’s exactly what Disney’s ABC Family channel holds up as “A new kind of family.”Disney isn't Disney anymore.

On March 22, ObamaCare hit a major snag when even 33 Senate Democrats openly defied the President as they joined 45 Republicans in voting to repeal a 2.3 percent sales tax, crucial to paying for ObamaCare, on medical devices such as pacemakers and MRI machines. The measure was co-sponsored by liberal Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar, who said in a statement that she would "continue to work to get rid of this harmful tax."

Ask an Iraqi
Bloomberg News " [Barham Salih] went on to blame Iraqis, rather than Americans, for the failures of the
past decade. “Much can be said about U.S. missteps and miscalculations in this
process, but there is no denying that Iraqi political leadership bears prime
responsibility for squandering a unique opportunity to deliver to their people.
This has been nothing short of a drastic failure of leadership on our part! The
Kurdistan region offers hope that all is not lost in Iraq.”
....
" “All Iraqis lived under a regime that had complete disdain for human life,” he said. “Executions and killings continued at will. Thousands of Iraqis were being sent to the mass graves. The Kurds were never safe as they knew that Saddam could at any time decide to reconquer the no-fly zone.”
"He went on, “Saddam was a menace to the Kurds, to the other Iraqi communities, and an inherent danger to the region. He was, from our perspective in this part of the world, a grave and mortal danger that we could never be safe from while he was still around.” "

Liar-In-Chief: Bill Ayers Confirms Obama’s Explosive Career Started In His Living Room
The Gateway Pundit
"When it came to the question of whether or not Obama launched his political career in the living room of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Liar-In-Chief Obama had his minister of b------t, Robert Gibbs, tell the American people that it wasn’t true.
"Now we learn from the terrorist himself that Obama is a lying sack of crap, and that he indeed did launch his political career from the living room of a man wanted for questioning in the death of a San Francisco police officer.
"From a recent Daily Beast article:

"From a recent Daily Beast article:
The truth is exactly what he said and what the campaign said in 2008. David Axelrod said we were friendly, that was true; we served on a couple of boards together, that was true; he held a fundraiser in our living room, that was true; Michelle [Obama] and Bernardine were at the law firm together, that was true. Hyde Park in Chicago is a tiny neighborhood, so when he said I was “a guy around the neighborhood,” that was true. Today, I wish I knew him better and he was listening to me. Obama’s not a radical. I wish he were, but he’s not.
The most shocking news you won't see in the MSM today
American Thinker "The MSM cannot mentally deal with this trial either, mainly because they realize it exposes the logical destination of the euphemistically title "pro-choice" movement. You should be allowed to choose whether or not to allow your child to live. So they are hiding Gosnell's atrocities from the public despite the compelling nature of the news itself." Thomas Lifson.
Priests For Life published this, if you dare to look at it.
Conservatives Demand Broadcast News Cover 'House of Horrors' Abortion Doc Trial "Since the Gosnell trial began three weeks ago, ABC, CBS, and NBC have given the story zero seconds of coverage on either their morning or evening news shows. They have not covered Gosnell once since his arrest in January 2011, and even then, only CBS did so."
A touch of irony?
From this post about Donna Brazile insulting Lady Thatcher
Brazile asks what capitalism has done for her while using her cell phone (probably) to tweet on the internet. Thanks to a wireless provider. Think of the silliness that dominates the halls of power guiding this nation.

Remember that she has worked for the Clintons and their circle has many of the top socialists of America in it that do not like free enterprise.
I do admit that Obama's circle makes the Clintons bunch look like the John Birch Society, but remember they are way out there
