CIA Outraged Over Outing of Agents

Frum Forum "Hopefully word will get out and the silent majority will be awakened. A former high-ranking CIA official sarcastically commented that he wanted the American public to “understand that there are some monumentally dumb people working to help the terrorists. I am certain they THINK they are working for justice, but they have standards quite different than most Americans.” " Emphasis added with great relish. Then this: Former CIA Directors’ Letter to Obama:Stop Investigation that Harms Our Agents and Our Nation from September 18, 2009.

Morris: Negative ads to hit Dems who vote 'yes'

Dick Morris "Imagine, for example, that you are Rep. Jason Altmire, Democrat from Pennsylvania. You voted against healthcare on the first pass, but now it seems you face weak opponents in November, so you are under great pressure from Queen Nancy to vote yes. She begs and pleads that she has to save the allocated “no” votes for the likes of your neighbor Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, who is more vulnerable to defeat. You cave in and vote yes.

Predictions: Our future under Obamacare.

National Review "But more important, once an entitlement is in place, it becomes virtually impossible to take away. The fact that Republicans have been criticizing Obamacare for cutting Medicare shows that they are not really willing to take the heat for cutting people’s benefits once they have them — no matter how unaffordable those benefits are. Paul Ryan put forth a serious plan for entitlement reform — and attracted just six co-sponsors at last count. Enough said. As Scrooge asked in A Christmas Carol, “Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or are they shadows of things that may be?” By Sunday night, we should know."

Obama and Israel: Making the Same Mistake Again and Again

American Thinker "In less than six months, President Obama has manufactured two political crises against Israel, a strategic ally and the only democracy in the Middle East. Each of the crises set back rather than advanced his goal of moving the "peace process" ahead. Both crises could have been avoided with a little understanding of the people with whom he is dealing.

Putin scolds Clinton, US, as if we were children

Rick Moran "Three more years of this. Three more years of unilateral embarrassment. Three more years of having to put up with foreign leaders who laugh at us, scold us in public, and dismiss us as if we were - are - a paper tiger. ABC News reports about a humiliating diatribe by Vladmir Putin that the Russian strong man laid on Hillary Clinton - in public."

Media ignoring Obama 'gotchya moment' from Fox News interview

American Thinker "Inheriting Sarah Palin's strategy on answering questions you don't know the answer to, President Obama proceeded to beat around the bush (pun intended again), proving beyond a doubt, that he doesn't really know what's in the health care bill. So where is all the mainstream media coverage of that "gotcha" moment with the smartest person ever elected President of the United States of America? "

Talking Points vs. Realty

Thomas Sowell "In politics, however, you can say all sorts of things that have no relationship with reality.

The Wyden-Gregg Bipartisan Tax Reform Bill: Why Congress Should Listen

Heritage "Although the Wyden-Gregg tax reform bill does not cure all that ails the tax code, it is a good first step in two important respects. First, the Wyden-Gregg bill demonstrates that congressional interest in tax reform is very much alive. Second, it demonstrates how Congress can work in a bipartisan manner to improve the tax code by simplifying it and minimizing the damage it inflicts on the economy and on taxpayers."
