Democrats moving left faster than Republicans move right

Yet Nancy Pelosi still speaks of Republicans as "extremists"

The American Interest
"At least since the 2010 midterms, it’s been a liberal talking point that Republican extremism is to blame for political polarization and gridlock. In the old days, the argument goes, Republicans were a moderate party, but over the past generation the GOP has been gradually taken over by its far-right wing. Before the last GOP debate, for example, the Center for American Progress launched a “Right of Reagan” campaign to supposedly show “how the extremism of today’s Republican presidential candidates sets them apart from their conservative idol.”

"But as the debates over issues like the $15 minimum wage, healthcare, and universal preschool have already shown, the Democrats have moved to the left at least as quickly as the Republicans have moved to the right. After all, Hillary Clinton has to renounce a good chunk of her husband’s positions to be competitive in the 2016 primary.


"Now, a paper on polarization and inequality released in August by political scientists from Princeton, Georgetown, and the University of Oregon (and highlighted this week in a Washington Post article) provides some empirical evidence that Democratic Party’s leftward drift is more pronounced than the GOP’s rightward drift, at least at the state level. " . . .

When liberal politics affect the scientific method


"This is how they have been proving Global Warming. It is kind of like the Nazis tests on Jews. Fake Science to prove a political agenda. Pseudo politics."

The Cheneys hit Obama in a new book


Elise Cooper
. . . "The book is separated into three parts.  The first is a journey throughout history, where American presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to George W. Bush had a bipartisan approach to foreign policy.  The second part shows how President Obama has deviated from this policy, causing the rise of America's enemies.  In the third part, the authors list what must be done to restore America as the world's premier power and leader.

"Liz Cheney explained: "The point of our book is to say America is an exceptional nation.  We have been since our founding and are today, but for different reasons.  After America's founding we became a model for freedom in the world, and from the time of WWII, we became the defender of that freedom.  The fact that we have a president that is embarking on dangerous policies does not mean we are not exceptional.  Rather, it means he does not recognize the unique role we must play in the world.  We need a president that truly believes we are freedom's defender."

"The authors first give a short history of America's foreign policy and the unique role played as the world's protector of freedom.  They add flavor by using quotes from past presidents that show how they knew that weakness invites aggression.  The Cheneys write about President Roosevelt, who in 1940 convinced a war-weary and isolationist-leaning country to join WWII because America has an obligation as "the defender of freedom" and "the arsenal of democracy."  And in 1962, Kennedy said, "The 1930s taught us a clear lesson: aggressive conduct, if allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leads to war."" . . .

Sally Kohn equates Muslim Brotherhood to US Christians

"One would think that after the Roseburg, Oregon, shooting in which a deranged Christophobe brutally murdered nine people for being Christians, liberals would curb their Christophobic hate — at least for a little while.  One would be wrong, however, as some have continued their descent into weapons-grade stupid.

"On Friday, CNN contributor Sally Kohn proved once again that liberalism is an ideology of anti-Christian rage and hate with a maddening tweet comparing U.S. Christians to members of the Muslim Brotherhood:

Obama on 60 Minutes; still says Putin's move into Syria is a sign of weakness


CBS 60 Minutes
"President Vladimir Putin's military mission in Syria is a sign of Russia's weakness, not a show of its leadership, says President Obama. Russia has been forced to prop up a teetering Assad regime, he maintains, Russia's only ally in the region. Mr. Obama speaks at length to Kroft about the situation in Syria and about domestic politics, including his opinions on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, whether his vice president, Joe Biden, will run for president, and his take on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The interview will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m ET/PT.

Obama greeted by hundreds of protestors in Roseburg

'15 minutes after the shooting happened. He politicized it: The bodies weren't even cold'

WND
"Hundreds of protesters greeted President Obama’s motorcade in Roseburg, Oregon, Friday as a group called “Defend Roseburg” held signs and waved banners while others silently turned their backs as the motorcade rolled by.

"Obama came to Roseburg, the White House said, to mourn with family members of the nine victims shot dead by a gunman at Umqua Community College on Oct. 1.

“ 'We’re going to have to come together as a nation to deal with this issue,” Obama said. “But today is about the families.”

"In fact Obama’s Democrat loyalists in the Senate led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., have already readied several gun control bills. If those don’t pass, the White House said Friday the president is considering taking unilateral action by executive order to create new federal background checks for firearms purchases, ABC News reported.

"Many protesters in Roseburg said they were not in a mood to welcome a president who so quickly and callously politicized a tragedy. Some came with their guns to make their point. All were peaceful.

“ 'He should stay away,” Gary Shambling, 66, of Winston, whose 1935 Harvester International pickup was parked Friday morning along the side of Aviation Drive, told his local newspaper, the Register-Guard. His truck had a large “No Bama” sign in red letters.

“ 'He made it very plain, 15 minutes after the shooting happened,” Shambling said. “He politicized it. The bodies weren’t even cold.”

"Others carried signs supporting their local sheriff, who’d said earlier that he didn’t believe Obama should come to the town after making politicized comments about gun control.

"Others protesters held signs saying “Obama Free Zone” and “Go Away” and “Go Home, You’re Not Wanted Here” as drivers honk their horns passing by. Other signs include “Prayers Not Politics” and “In Memory of the Fallen” and “#Roseburg Strong.”

Roseburg, Oregon Protests Obama Visit: ‘Chicago Needs You’

"As helicopters whirred overhead, bringing President Obama to the southern Oregon community that was the scene of a mass casualty shooting last week at a community college, hundreds of protesters gathered below to voice their objections to the president’s visit.

"As Breitbart News has been reporting all week, many residents of Roseburg had strong feelings about the president using the UCC shooting to promote his pro-gun control agenda, and many of those residents turned out in force mid-morning on a Friday. The protesters began arriving at 8 AM and by 12:33 PM cars were still arriving." . . .

Hundreds in Roseburg tell Obama to go play golf

The report adds that "Over 8,000 signed up to protest Obama today at the Defend Roseburg Facebook protest page." How many showed up I can't say.

Gateway Pundit
"There was an AMAZING turnout today to protest Obama in Oregon after the mass shooting at Umpqua College.

"The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has somehow managed to find time and surplus budget to fight a new battle along with their old standbys of preventing criminal background checks, preventing verification of American citizenship, striking down job-related competency testing, or disciplining any employee who isn't a straight white male.

"Specifically, the EEOC is launching an investigation to prove that the "War on Women" is
actually being fought in Hollywood, where women aren't being allowed to direct enough feature films.

"The EEOC has sent letters to 50 female directors asking them to share any stories they might have about workplace discrimination or unfair treatment. Although rather than making it a formal inquiry,
Hope n' Change thinks it would be easier to just gather the ladies in a wine bar and keep the Chardonnay flowing while they vent.

"The investigation is the direct result of lobbying by the ACLU, an organization that spends
most of its time tracking down replicas of the Ten Commandments to complain about. Perhaps they stumbled across the film version of the Ten Commandments, discovered it was directed by a male and starred testosterone-oozing former NRA President Charlton Heston, and decided enough was enough." . . .

'Black Lives' leader defends looting in Yale lecture

mckessoncomp.jpg

"The “Black Lives Matter” leader who landed a teaching gig at Yale University delivered a lecture this week on the historical merits of looting as a form of protest, backing up his lesson with required reading that puts modern-day marauders on par with the patriots behind the Boston Tea Party.

"DeRay McKesson, who was hired by the Ivy League institution’s divinity school to lecture for two days on "Transformational Leadership in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement," had students read an essay written at the height of the rioting and looting that plagued the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson just over a year ago after a white police officer shot and killed a black man." . . .

Hillary is going to meet him and other BLM leaders   On Friday, McKesson will be one of the BLM activists meeting with Hillary Clinton. Perhaps Mrs. Clinton could broach the subject with Mr. McKesson and get his views on whether killing white cops is justified.

Perhaps Mr. McKesson will address these:

Rioting at this weekend's Washington, D.C. gripe-fest celebrating the 20th anniversary of the endlessly hyped, misnamed Million Man March, seems like a definite possibility.
. . . "U.S. Capitol Police wisely issued an advisory to its 1,800 officers warning that Nation of Islam's participation in the march would increase the likelihood of violence at the event. The document stated with complete accuracy that the cultish group's incendiary racist leader, Louis Farrakhan, “has been accused of inciting violence against both Caucasians and police officers.' ” . . .

How to create a gun-free America in five easy steps


. . . ""Great! The law is passed and guns are now illegal.  The only thing left to do is...
"Step 5: Enforce. 
Guns won't just disappear because you passed a law. You need to confiscate some 350 million guns scattered among 330 Million Americans.

"Sure, you can try a buy-back program like Australia, but like Australia that will still leave behind anywhere from 60 percent to 80 percent of privately owned firearms.

"The rest you have to take.

"You'll need the police, the FBI, the ATF or the National Guard—all known for their nuanced approach to potentially dangerous situations—to go door-to-door, through 3.8 million square miles of this country and take guns, by force, from thousands, if not, millions of well-armed individuals. Many of whom would rather start a civil war than acquiesce.

"So inevitably gun violence, which is currently at a historic low, will skyrocket.

"But that is how you get a gun-free America in five easy steps." . . .

U.S. suspends combat training for Syrian rebels  “ 'Training thousands of infantry was not the right model, I think that’s become pretty clear,” said another senior administration official who requested anonymity, the newspaper reported."


NYT: White House ends Syrian rebel training program
"Consider this the Solyndra of foreign policy. Pressed to do something about the Syrian civil war, the Obama administration put together a $500 million project to build up the Free Syrian Army to fight both Bashar Assad and ISIS at the same time. Only 60 fighters ever got trained, and it worked so well that almost all of them have been killed already."

American Thinker calls this an "epic fail"
. . . "No doubt the president will gratefully accept Mr. Putin's invitation and turn this disaster into the biggest foreign policy blunder in decades."
And the liberals will continue to love and adore Mr. Obama.

Europe: Obama Undoing Reagan’s Cold War Victory
. . . "The NATO generals in Europe are now finding out the hard way what happens when you offer ‘harmless’ concessions to tyrants and imperialists. President Obama offered a bit of leg space to Comrade Putin in a fit of mindlessness and now you have Russian jackboots dangling all over Eastern Europe. Putin and his ex-KGB clique in control of Kremlin, have not forgotten humiliating Soviet retreat from the countries of Eastern Europe and are back from the cold to correct the ‘historic injustice’"

Russia Missile Attacks Embarrass Obama, Warn Israel
. . . "The Russian attack is a clear signal to Israel, demonstrating that cruise missiles which can go from the eastern Mediterranean to Iran can go the other way too. It is unlikely that it was a message lost on the Israelis, and more evidence that Russia’s movement in to the Syrian arena is proving disastrous for America and her allies."
