What passes for leadership in America

A Call To The First 2000 names in the Boston Phone Book, Your Country Needs You Now   "William F. Buckley stated that he would rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the Boston phone book rather than 2000 professors of Harvard. Well Bill, the time is now. We have met the faculty and from the past five years, we believe they should stick to their lounges, worn sport jackets and pony tails, and their pastime of mutual admiration.

"Theory has met reality and theory loses."

The Comical Conservative

Neal Boortz; How to talk to Harry Reid (if you gotta)
      "Now Harry likes to throw around a lot of pretty strong words when he’s talking about Republicans.  You’ve heard him. There’s “hostage takers,” for instance, and “extortionists.”  But for today’s lesson in haggling with Harry we’ll stick to two of his favorites:

1. The Tea Partiers are “anarchists.”
2. The people just want the congress to do its job.

            "We would hope that Mitch McConnell would have long ago delivered a good verbal spanking to the hero of the Las Vegas unions, but it hasn’t happened yet … and McConnell doesn’t look or sound like someone you would bet on in a verbal prize fight.  So I’m here to help.  First we will deal with..."

Obamacare opponents reveal deep racism in America!

And this commentary by Neal Cavuto is obviously racist 

From Black Quill and Ink
 

Sharpton Compares Himself to [Jewish] Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel  "Sharpton once complained about the “diamond merchants*” in Crown Heights, suggesting, “All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no kaffe klatsch, no skinnin' and grinnin'. Pay for your deeds.” He also said in Harlem, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.' ”  More on this here.
*"Diamond merchant" is of course a derogatory term for Jewish people. Naturally you knew what Sharpton meant.

No gospel without wrath

La Shawn Barber  "When I read that the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) decided to exclude from its hymnals the song “In Christ Alone” (see video below) because the second verse mentions God’s wrath, I knew it was more evidence of doctrinal slide. The PCUSA, which takes a “progressive” view of Scripture, asked the song’s writers, Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, if the church could change the lyrics from “Till on that cross as Jesus died / The wrath of God was satisfied” to “Till on that cross as Jesus died / The love of God was magnified.” The songwriters refused.

"Why would a denomination want to remove a hymn’s reference to God’s wrath? Mary Louise Bringle, a member of the PCUSA song committee, attempted to explain:"....

Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Are the Obamas this 'tone deaf?'   "The Obama White House has a bad case of "tone deafness"  Or, maybe they just don't think that the media will look into these contractual arrangements.

....
"Wonder if anyone in the media will follow up on this connection?  or what about the company's past?"

Daily Caller  "First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
"Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
"Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obamaare both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
....
Update: "The Daily Caller repeatedly contacted CGI Federal for comment. After publication of this article, the company responded that there would be “nothing coming out of CGI for the record or otherwise today.' ” ...

 

From Examiner.com:

There’s more. Townes’s boss, George Schindler, was an Obama 2012 campaign donor — but that was after his company won the Obamacare website contract, so obviously there is no quid pro quo.

More on the contract here, but especially this info:
Jeffrey Zients, who was just hired by the Obama administration was a consultant for...wait for it..."Bain & Company, the vulture capitalist outfit that Team Obama worked so hard to make an albatross around the neck of Mitt Romney in the last presidential election. Then again, Barack Obama’s antipathy toward Bain lasted only through Election Day."
