PLEASE let these be satirical(sp) . . .please tell me we don't have THAT many stupid people in our country . . . please.

Liberals and Their Uppity Enemies

Victor Davis Hanson   "Why do liberals hate Sarah Palin? She has made far fewer gaffes than has Joe Biden, whose verbal mishaps have often been racist in nature. Is dropping your g’s worse than saying “corpse-men“? She does not believe that Canadians speak Canadian in the way the president thinks Austrians speak Austrian. Her life story is inspirational — working mom, without inherited privilege or capital, a successful pre-2008 tenure as an Alaska politician."....

....

"Why do liberals despise Rush Limbaugh more so than, say, conservatives hate Bill Maher or Chris Matthews? Yes, he is vastly more successful and influential, and does them, as the president so frequently whines, a lot of political damage. Of course, the Left hates the fact that Limbaugh went from middle-class to a billionaire, and without the proper educational credentials and anguish along the way to contextualize his wealth. (Keeping millions of listeners entertained for three hours, 250 days a year, is supposedly easy; in contrast, teaching a graduate seminar fifteen times a semester on your dissertation is an ordeal, full of deep thinking and contemplative heavy lifting.)"

....

"Liberals sure hate the Koch brothers. At first glance, this too baffles. It is not the money per se. After all, they idolize George Soros, who predates the Kochs in subsidizing political causes. ... Soros is far more brazen in his partisan giving, and unlike the Kochs is a financial speculator who was tried and convicted abroad."

Liberal cartoonist Pat Oliphant gives Democrats this cartoon to hang somewhere:

....

"Then there is Clarence Thomas. Liberals despise him too. He is not as fair-skinned as Barrack Obama, Eric Holder, or Valerie Jarrett. Nor is his accent free from a resonant Southern twang. He talks the same to every audience, without, to paraphrase Harry Reid, Obama’s inclination to change cadences and intonation to fit the particular political constitutency."

....

"Finally, liberals really hate Fox News. It trumps the audience of MSNBC and CNN combined and then some. Envy of its success accounts for a lot of the ire. So does its vast array of blond bombshells. ... most are highly intelligent and go head-to-head debating left-wing JDs, MDs, and PhDs, with equal or often superior intelligence and often with comparable degrees."

We completely overhauled American health care — to insure 4.2 million people?

Lucianne "The number bounced around for years — 46 million. President Obama said it in August 2009: “I don’t have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance coverage today. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, 46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage.” He said it dozens more times, including in June 2013: “We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children.” The Obama administration pumped the number with official reports. The White House Council of Economic Advisers said, “Perhaps the most visible sign of the need for health care.... "   Full article

Sunday Opinion: College students learn Common Core math

Campus Reform  "College students and others at George Mason University were dumbstruck by the tedious nature of an elementary level Common Core problem during a short series of interviews conducted by Campus Reform last week.

"The problem, 32-12, was demonstrated to those on campus the traditional way and juxtaposed with the Common Core method."

 

Common Core Math Problems  "Jane Robbins sent me some Common Core Math problems that she had obtained from an elementary school in the Metro Atlanta area.  We’ll let these speak for themselves." 

 

Bizarro Common Core kindergarten math homework stumps DAD WITH Ph.D.

 "Just this month, for example, Twitchy exposed a stupid, overly complicated set of Common Core math problems involving “number bonds”—and so much more. Those problems were also being inflicted on kindergarteners."

(RELATED: Here’s PROOF that Common Core aims to make America’s children cry)

 

Also in March, a frustrated dad posted his kid’s absurd Common Core-aligned math homework on Instagram. (RELATED: ‘Why are they making math harder?’ More absurd Common Core math problems)

In February, a group of Common Core-aligned math — math — lessons oozed out of the woodwork which require teachers to ask students if the 2000 presidential election was fair and which refer to Lincoln’s religion as either “liberal” or nothing. (RELATED: Common Core MATH lesson plans attack Reagan, list Lincoln’s religion as ‘liberal’)

 

In January, The Daily Caller also brought you a surreal, subtly cruel Common Core math worksheet. (RELATED: This Common Core math worksheet offers a glimpse into Kafkaesque third-grade hell) ....

Obama Announces Sanctions Against 7 Russian Officials – Russian Markets Rally Over Weak Response

Note to self: the next time a Democrat becomes president, invest in Russian stocks.

    Hope n'Change

 

The Gateway Pundit  "Barack Obama announced sanctions against 7

officials today, including senior aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych."

 

"The Kyiv Post reported:

In response to the Russian government’s actions contributing to the crisis in Ukraine, this new E.O. lists seven Russian government officials who are being designated for sanctions. These individuals are Vladislav Surkov, Sergey Glazyev, Leonid Slutsky, Andrei Klishas, Valentina Matviyenko, Dmitry Rogozin, and Yelena Mizulina.

The United States also will seek to hold accountable individuals who use their resources or influence to support or act on behalf of senior Russian government officials. We recognize that the Russian leadership derives significant support from, and takes action through, individuals who do not themselves serve in any official capacity. Our current focus is to identify these individuals and target their personal assets, but not companies that they may manage on behalf of the Russian state.

"The Russian markets rallied over Obama’s weak sanctions against Russia."

 

Follow The Equitable Access to Care and Health Act (HR 1814)

http://terrellaftermath.com/

 

House Tees Up Health Votes   "The House of Representatives plans to vote on several health reform bills this week, and two deserve particular attention.

First, religious liberty is once again in the forefront with a bill that would allow Christian Scientists an exemption from Obamacare’s individual mandate that only the Amish and Old Order of Mennonites now receive. Christian Scientists believe in the healing power of prayer, yet they are required to purchase health insurance laden with expensive medical benefits they won’t use."

 

"The Equitable Access to Care and Health Act (HR 1814) would allow an exemption from the mandate for individuals who have sincerely held religious beliefs that conflict with Obamacare’s requirement that they purchase compliant health insurance. The EACH Act has at least 210 co-sponsors, including 75 Democrats. Any members worried about voting on legislation that would “fix” Obamacare should put those concerns aside. The bill makes an important statement about bipartisan support for religious liberty and deserves their support."    The Galen Institute

Plus those of us in our seventies who have to have prenatal care.

A nation deserves the leaders it gets...

...but did we deserve the choice of the San Francisco Bay Area?
