Krauthammer Smacks Down Inside Washington Panel Over GOP Campaign Contributions

Newsbusters  "As Krauthammer also pointed out, the press never seems to have any problem with contributions made by America's labor unions which almost exclusively go to Democrats."

"As such, Krauthammer properly identified what all this media hyperventilation is concerning this year's campaign finance issue: whining squared."

Top Scientist Resigns from Post – Admits Global Warming Is a Scam (Updated; letter of resignation included)

Gateway Pundit  "It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare." Emphasis in the original.
The full letter of resignation:

Bush vs. Obama: Who Was The Better President?

Gateway Pundit  "CNN recently published a poll that posed the question:  Bush versus Obama:  Who was the better president?"....

"By 47 to 45 percent, Americans say Obama is a better president than George W. Bush. But that two point margin is down from a 23 point advantage one year ago."....

"Perhaps we are polling the wrong question.  A better question might be:  Bush versus Obama:  Who is the better person?"....
"Many Americans seem to be reevaluating their opinion of President Bush.  I’m glad.  He is a fine man.  He was a good President.  I felt safe while he was in office.  I never doubted his sincerity.  I might not have agreed with him in every instance but I never questioned his love for America.  And I believe history will affirm that he was right a lot more than wrong."

CBS Buries Jerry Brown Campaign’s ‘Whore’ Slur Against Meg Whitman

Newsbusters  "After ignoring on Friday morning the story of California Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman being called a "whore" by an aide for her opponent, Democrat Jerry Brown, CBS started to catch up on the story – but also buried it somewhat – on the same day’s CBS Evening News and again on Saturday morning’s The Early Show."

More on Che Guevara and American leftists

 Che Guevara Flags in Obama's Houston Office  Barack Obama won’t wear an American flag on his lapel, but on the wall of his Houston campaign office: a Cuban flag with a picture of Communist mass murderer Che Guevara.

Che flag sends 'disturbing' message about Obama (2008) And while the Obama campaign has issued a statement placing a modest distance between the campaign and its "volunteers," the issue of such an image on display in an office operating on behalf of a man hoping to be commander in chief of the world's last remaining superpower is raising alarms.

Obama Casts Republicans as Slurpee Sippers

CBS News  "To hear President Obama tell it, Slurpees are the beverage of choice of obstructionist Republicans.

"In each of 20 political speeches over the last two months, Mr. Obama has included a riff in which he portrays GOP leaders as sipping Slurpees while hard-working Democrats struggle to pull the economy out of a ditch."

Obama's new national security advisor called a 'disaster' by Gates

American Thinker  "Thomas Lifson adds: Donilon was a lobbyist for Fannie Mae, and fought off regulatory reforms. If he does for national security what he acomplished for the economy, we are doomed."

Charles Krauthammer

Charles Krauthammer "It’s not just income taxes. It’s capital gains and dividends too. And the estate tax, which will careen insanely from 0 to 55 percent when the ball drops on Times Square on New Year’s Eve.

"Nor is this harmless incompetence. To do this at a time when $2 trillion of capital is sitting on the sidelines because of rising uncertainty — and there is no greater uncertainty than next year’s tax rates — is staggeringly irresponsible."

Obama’s war with the generals

National Post (Canada)  "And yet two generals feel the need to criticize the Commander in Chief in public in a short time frame? Yes, it could be coincidence, but the smart betting man has to wonder — what the hell is going on inside the administration? Just how hot are temperatures running? Who’s getting pushed and who’s pushing back?
"And perhaps the key question: How many generals and admirals will give up their careers rather than follow the President’s agenda?"

James Jones Out, Anti-Military Guy In  "...Obama's selection of Gen. Jones as national security adviser, along with a handful of similar appointments, caused us and other observers who are even more knowledgeable to hail what seemed to be a reassuringly moderate trend in Obama's nascent foreign policy. Those days are long gone now, and it seems that Jones never had much influence. Reuters reports that Jones was "often portrayed as an outsider who struggled to make his voice heard over Obama's close-knit group of advisers who were with him on his 2008 election campaign." "

Dontcha Love These Non-Ideological Pragmatists?   "Jones echoed criticisms that Donilon lacked critical national security experience and existed in a lawyer’s bunker, his power stemming from his status as a Democratic fixer who has the president’s ear — an ear Donilon routinely fills with “snap judgments” and “absolute declarations” about places he’s never been to, foreign officials he’s never met, and a military with which he has no credibility.
"Sounds like he’ll be perfect." Andy McCarthy in National Review

Mudville Gazette on Gen. Jones and Tom Donilan  "...Worse for Jones, he often felt sidelined by Emanuel, who would regularly come to the national security adviser's suite and see his deputy, Donilon. So Jones told Emanuel, "I'm the national security adviser. When you come down there, come see me." It got better for a short time..."

The Forgotten Evil behind the Iron Curtain

American Thinker  "Sadly, younger Americans know almost nothing of the world described in these books or understand the significance of the West's victory in the Cold War. Some just do not understand why "we couldn't all just get along." It is almost incredible, in retrospect, that some Americans were advocates for the political and economic system that took hold in the USSR and East Germany." Via Bruce Kelly

Che Guevara: Assassin and Bumbler  "Che Guevara was monumentally vain and epically stupid. He was shallow, boorish, cruel and cowardly. He was full of himself, a consummate fraud and an intellectual vacuum. He was intoxicated with a few vapid slogans, spoke in clichés and was a glutton for publicity.
"But ah! He did come out nice in a couple of publicity photos, high cheekbones and all! And we wonder why he's a hit in Hollywood."

All that time fighting capitalism...   "...only to end up making capitalists rich selling t-shirts of his face to ignorant, white, middle class, wannabes who wear his image with their name brand sneakers, designer jeans, and Axe body spray while sipping Starbuck's Coffee. "

Celebrities Lend Their Names to a Bad Cause  "“Judicial evidence in an archaic bourgeois detail,” proclaimed the Castro’s regime’s chief hangman, Che Guevara. “We execute from Revolutionary conviction..And we will continue executing!” Whereupon the regime co-founded by Che Guevara proceeded to jail political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s and murder them at a higher rate than pre-war Hitler’s. Needless to add, Che Guevara ranks as top T-shirt icon for protestors against U.S. judicial procedures, especially capital punishment, who include most of the above-mentioned celebrities. "

Anatomy of the Obama Meltdown

Victor Davis Hanson  "In the meantime, an entire generation of Democratic House members and senators are going to pay a heavy price for falling for a clearly inexperienced, untried, and often petulant candidate amid the exuberance of the 2008 hope and change wave."
