Quote of the Day – Congressman Keith Ellison Edition

Potluck 

“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it, The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things.”

"Oh and it gets scarier than this, listen to what he wants to spend new tax dollars on:

“fund international sustainable prosperity programs such as health care investments, AIDS treatment, research and prevention programs, climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts by developing countries, and international assistance.”

Sharpton, back in the day

History and Culture at the Smithsonian is to remember racial controversies, as the proposed Trayvon exhibit seems to confirm, then how about an honest look at the phenomenon of hate crime hoaxes?  Particular attention should be paid to the role of the media in both the Trayvon and Tawana materials.

If the source for this intelligence is a courageous ally who has infiltrated al Qaeda, just pray that his name has not been revealed by Snowden or Manning.
Or that the means of discovering these threats have not been compromised by them.

CBS News   "Intelligence officers have reporting from a reliable source that a major plot is under way and that the team to carry it out has been selected and is in place, Miller reports.
