Backlash in California: Muslim at mall kiosk tears crucifix from shopper's neck, shouts "Allah is power"

JihadWatch "This is just the familiar Muslim backlash against non-Muslims, which will increasingly be a feature of American life in the coming years. Nothing to see here. Move along.?

Whether or Not Obama Focuses on Economy, It Gets Worse

Pajamas Media "The problem is not that Obama doesn't spend enough time on the economy — his philosophy isn't capable of (or interested in?) stimulating growth anyway. "

Snowe in the Spotlight

By Robert Costa "A decision on whether she’ll be one of the 60 votes the Democrats need to pass their bill is a long way off. Still, she says, she looks forward to playing an important role in shaping health-care legislation."

Victims, Villains, and Heroes

American Thinker "What American soldiers are not allowed to be is heroes. The moral consequence of this propaganda war fought by "journalists" is increased deaths of our soldiers at home and abroad. With attacks on our bases here at home and hundreds of attacks overseas, the world has been conditioned to believe that American soldiers do not enter the world to protect the innocent but to kill them."

Obama's Post-American World

American Thinker "If ever a naïve, simplistic, and downright dangerous foreign policy position existed in the 21st century, here it is. Let's non-proliferate and forget about missile defense and trust Russia, China, and an assortment of rogue nations like North Korea and Iran to "do the right thing.""

Weaker U.S. Leads to Insecurity in Taiwan

Pajamas Media "It is instructive that a world with a less powerful United States leads to political instability in many parts of the globe. The Taiwanese are a resilient and remarkable people who have taken a once largely barren island and converted it into one of the most vigorous economies on the globe. Yet this development could not have occurred without the protective shield of the United States. One can only wonder how it can be sustained without active American assistance."

A Partial Lexicon of Current Political Speech

American Thinker "Here’s a partial lexicon of contemporary political speech for AT readers. Feel free to add to it in the comment section."...."“…for the American people.” – Usually coming at the end of the sentence, it’s a prepositional phrase that signals that the American people are about to get hosed, again."

Code Pink deliberately targets kids from military families

Rick Moran "Well isn't that special. We don't know if there were any kids in that line who lost a parent in war, but neither does Code Pink. The fact that they carried out the protest in the first place shows they wouldn't have cared one way or another.Another stunning bit of idiocy from a group known for it."

UH OH .. HERE COMES THE BACKLASH

Boortz "...the debate all along should have been about lowering costs. But it wasn't. It has always been about power and more government. It has NEVER been about your health. Unfortunately for this freshman Senator, he is learning this the hard way."

WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING. I'M SURPRISED IT TOOK THIS LONG

Boortz "Blaming guns is the easy way out. If you blame guns for violence in the inner city, you don't have to address the black culture of violence. If you blame guns for Ft. Hood, you don't have to address the Islamic culture of violence. You focus on objects, not people, and objects don't vote. You're safe in your demagoguery. "

PC News: Networks Downplay Terrorism, Muslim Connection in Ft. Hood Attack

Newsbusters "ABC, CBS, NBC Follow White House Line: Before Obama's Nov. 10 speech, 93 percent of the stories had ignored any terror connection. But after Obama hinted at what ABC called "Islamic extremist views," all three networks mentioned terrorism."

The 'Good American' Who Was Taught to Hate

American Thinker "And to those who are convinced that Hasan snapped because of some mistreatment he received by his colleagues: Who cares? Certainly not those true Americans who suffered through real racism and barriers. Certainly not Satchell Paige, who struck out Mickey Mantle with one pitch. Not Jackie Robinson, who had to be smuggled into Major League ballparks. Not Kenny Washington, who broke the National Football League's color barrier. Not Rosa Parks, who declined to give up her bus seat. And certainly not a young man who joined the Army and became a Second Lieutenant: Colin Powell."
