Will Hillary’s Rape Victim Be Heard?

Jonathan S. Tobin   ... " the revelations about Clinton’s successful defense of a rapist that she later laughingly admitted on tape to be guilty uncovered by our former COMMENTARY colleague Alana Goodman in the Washington Free Beacon are the sort of thing that would destroy any Republican."
...
"As the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll demonstrated, the key to continued Democratic electoral success is maintaining their dominance among female voters by relentlessly hyping the fake Republican “war on women.” And there is no more potent element for that crucial tactic than the use of the word rape. Yet while the media was quick to use stray stupid remarks by Republican senatorial candidates to brand the GOP as a party that was insensitive to victims of sexual violence, revelations about Hillary Clinton’s role in abusing a real victim of rape continues to be ignored by much of the mainstream media."

"But it does matter and here's why: If Hillary Clinton runs for President (and God forbid, wins), Bill Clinton would become the First Gentleman of the United States. There is, of course, the fact that he lied under oath in a legal proceeding -- an offense for which other, humbler Americans have gone to jail, and one that resulted in the suspension of his law license. There is also the more intangible issue of the lack of honor and loyalty to his wife of the former President, and the unseemliness of rewarding predatory behavior like this and this and this (and the determined ignorance of his wife) with another four or eight years in taxpayer-subsidized high-end housing." ...

CNN found that Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Women admire her because she's strong and successful. Men admire her because she allows her husband to cheat and get away with it. == Jay Leno
This Hillary cartoon made the Daily Kos so mad that they printed it before they smeared it.
I suggest they loved it as a great gag so printed it, then smeared it with some righteous, liberal faux indignation. They get to use the cartoon and still polish their "nice people" cred.

AMERICA: Imagine the world without her

Marion DS Dreyfus
"I highly recommend the new Dinesh D'Souza salvo at truth, optimism and the melioration of the endless lies proffered by the leftatariat who preach in the nation's wholly-owned radicalized college campii (my version of the plural form -- don't bother with Webster's or Wiktionary).

He goes into the 5 basic lies of America's birth promoted and promulgated by Saul Alinsky, author of  Reveille for Radicals (as well as its more famous successor, Rules for Radicals), the socialist sleaze who was a mentor to Hillary, as well as the guiding muck/light for the current occupant of the Oval Office. Alinsky does not emerge as a nice person, nor a person a patriot could ever follow."

Thug Playing The Knockout Game Gets Shot Twice By Victim

The PCMD Gazette

"A game called “Point-em-out, Knock-em-out” has made its way to Lansing, and it’s exactly how it sounds. The game consists of someone being randomly targeted, then attacked.

"It’s a game that has been growing with popularity on the internet, with teenagers filming themselves punching unsuspecting victims. Lansing had its first case of the game brought to light this summer, but it’s possible that it has been happening under the radar for months.

"On February 26th a man waiting for his six-year-old daughter to be dropped off from school, had no idea he would be the city’s first reported victim.

“ 'I saw the van circle twice, and the second time three kids came out. I didn’t suspect anything. I hadn’t any enemies, or any reason to believe they would be looking to do anything to me.”

Where Obama Is Right; Obama’s decision to reengage in Iraq signals that America is serious about preventing Iraq’s collapse.

Tom Rogan
We remember the specter of sectarian violence — al-Qaeda’s attacks on mosques and pilgrims, militias that carried out campaigns of intimidation and campaigns of assassination. And in the face of ancient divisions, you stood firm to help those Iraqis who put their faith in the future.
— President Obama, announcing the last withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, December 14, 2011

 
"When he spoke those words nearly three years ago, Obama thought the war was finally over. Accordingly, yesterday’s announcement might have been the most difficult of his presidency: a speech he never wanted to give." ...
 
Necessary because....
 
..."Whichever bad choice the Obama administration prefers, it should at least level with the American people. Every postwar occupation in our history has dealt with unappreciative and unstable allies such as Maliki — from difficult South Korean strongmen of the 1950s and 1960s to Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan. Pulling completely out of a mostly quiet Iraq just because we had to work with unsavory characters made no sense." ...  Victor Davis Hanson

It's Obama's fault!  Recent events are a result of Obama’s indifference to the war.
...While the gains in Iraq were indeed impressive, Biden — and the entire Obama administration — was dead wrong for two reasons: First, the accomplishment was never this administration’s. Second, what he called their greatest accomplishment is now their spectacular failure. In the end, President Obama removed the two key ingredients needed for such an achievement: commitment and resolve. ...

 
No! It's Maliki's fault! Obama Stops Bragging About Withdrawal from Iraq    
"Why isn't the president proud of keeping his campaign promise?"  
 During his Thursday press conference on the Iraq crisis, the president was asked whether he regretted his decision not to leave a residual force there. He replied: “Well, keep in mind that wasn’t a decision made by me. That was a decision made by the Iraqi government.”

 

Herman Cain Urges Uninformed Voters To Stay Home: ‘Stupid People Are Ruining America!’

Weasel Zippers     "Getting a voters ID is complicated."

“ 'I’ve even heard people say, ‘Well, I don’t vote because I don’t know what’s going on,” he continued. “And I say ‘Good!’ Stupid people are ruining America, and I’m glad some of them stay home!”
 
"The audience laughed and applauded while Cain continued. “The solution is real simple folks,” he asserted. “Those of us that are informed have got to out-vote the stupid people!' ”
 

So you don't like the Republican candidate, just vote to cancel some Democrat's vote! 
Three Million Republicans did not vote in the last election, meaning four million votes for Obama went uncancelled. Democrats are not the only ones with low-information voters. TD

Advocates of splitting California into six states gathering signatures

LA Times
Jefferson Flag
Molly Kelley, 62, of Klamath River, holds up a State of Jefferson flag as she folds it inside the
Klamath River Community Hall in California.

"The idea is the brainchild of Timothy Draper, a venture capitalist from Menlo Park – or as he hopes to some day call it, the state of Silicon ValleyDraper has sunk $2 million into signature gathering for the proposal.

 He maintains it will break bureaucratic deadlock in Sacramento (proposed state of North California) and attract more business.

" 'California has become the worst managed state in the country," he told The Times this spring. "It just is too big and too ungovernable."

"Draper, a political independent, needs about 808,000 signatures by July 18 to get the measure on the ballot in two years. He has said he has support from the Oregon border (proposed state of Jefferson) to San Diego (South California), but the plan has been given almost no chance of success by some experts and ridiculed by Democrats and Republicans alike."
