Patriots Versus Hateful Westboro Baptist Church Funeral Protesters…..Patriots Win!

Gateway Pundit "Hundreds of residents in Weston, Mo. — as well as people as far away as California and Australia– rallied in support of Sgt. First Class C.J. Sadell, who died from injuries suffered during a surprise attack in Afghanistan.
"The residents sought to block Fred Phelps, leader of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., and his followers from picketing Sadell’s funeral, according to the station."

Obama's Ignorance of World Affairs on Full Display in India

American Thinker  "It's clear that the Obama foreign policy isn't based on sophistication or even a basic knowledge of world affairs. It's based purely on fatuous P.C. sentiments that meet with approval in faculty lounges, but are downright dangerous to American security in the real world."   Weasel Zippers photo

NATIONALIZING PENSION FUNDS

Neal Boortz   "The real reason? Unions. Yup .. there you go. Unions. You see many, if not most (perhaps all?) union plans are underfunded. Why? Well, maybe this is because union leaders, in love with their positions of power, spend too much from union dues to promote political candidates. Make that promote Democrat candidates. I haven't seen the study, but I am wondering how many of these pension plans would be in trouble if that money funneled to candidates was used instead to fund pensions?"

Al-Qaeda cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki trained Pentagon’s Muslim chaplains

Big Peace  "An Al-Qaeda cleric’s participation in training military chaplains is less surprising since the program itself was established by Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was tapped by the Defense Department to create the program and who hand-picked the first 16 Muslim chaplains for the military, was himself an Al-Qaeda operative. Alamoudi is currently serving a 23-year federal prison sentence.

"But what exactly happened to the Pentagon’s Muslim chaplains and lay staff that Anwar Al-Awlaki helped train and Abdurahman Alamoudi helped select is still unknown."

First US targeted assassination in Gaza pre-empts next Al Qaeda offensive

DEBKAfile "A missile fired from an American warship in the Mediterranean hit the car in which Muhammad Jamal A-Namnam, 27, was driving in the heart of Gaza City Wednesday, Nov. 3 and killed him, debkafile's exclusive counter-terror sources report. Namnam was an operational commander of the Army of Islam, Al-Qaeda's Palestinian cell in the Gaza Strip. He was on a mission on behalf of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – AQAP to plan, organize and execute the next wave of terrorist attacks on US targets after last week's air package bomb plot."

DEBKAfile's innovative approach ...delves into the arcane workings of international Islamic terror and the world of intelligence, and updates you on military affairs and the Middle East.
We have developed unmatched expertise on Iran.

Darrell Issa plans hundreds of hearings (Updated)

Politico  "Issa won’t have a shortage of targets. He’s been hammering for better tracking of the stimulus and has a growing list of other investigative targets, including the housing meltdown and the bank bailout."

Advice to administration officials; lawyer up  "Unlike Henry Waxman's bread and circuses - holding hearings on steroids in baseball, for instance, - Issa plans to get to the meat of the cronyism, the potentially illegality of czars, the threatening of inspector generals across the board, and the cozy relationship between Democrats and labor."

Manchin to flip Republican?

UK Daily Mail  "Republicans are making some big promises to try to lure West Virginia Senator-elect Joe Manchin to cross the aisle.
"Aside from his pick of committee assignments (likely the Energy and Natural Resources Committee), Manchin might get support for one of his pet projects – a plant to convert coal to diesel fuel that has stalled under Democratic leadership in Washington.
"It’s one of Manchin’s pet projects and could mean big money for the state’s coal producers."
Hey, they may be earmarks, but they're OUR earmarks.

Get to Work Repealing Obamacare

Heritage "The President just doesn’t get it. According to the national exit poll just 16% of voters want to leave Obamacare as is. A full 48% of voters want to see it outright repealed and another 31% want to see it changed in some way. Americans do want to relitigate Obamacare. Yesterday, here at The Heritage Foundation, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell promised to do just that:"...

CBO CONFIRMS OBAMACARE WILL INCREASE DRUG PRICES   "The CBO confirms the range of onerous restrictions and requirements will drive health care costs up, at odds with the claims made by its proponents. CBO’s letter specifies that manufacturers will have an incentive to raise drug prices and that, as a result, health care costs will increase for some seniors and for those who are uninsured."

Citing health overhaul, AARP hikes employee costs "In an e-mail to employees, AARP says health care premiums will increase by 8 percent to 13 percent next year because of rapidly rising medical costs.
"And AARP adds that it's changing copayments and deductibles to avoid a 40 percent tax on high-cost health plans that takes effect in 2018 under the law. Aerospace giant Boeing also has cited the tax in asking its workers to pay more. Shifting costs to employees lowers the value of a health care plan and acts like an escape hatch from the tax."

Busted! 12 Photos of the Global Warming Bunko Scam, Which You'll Never, Ever See in Legacy Media

Doug Ross "These photos highlight the locations of official climate thermometers, which -- if they're not missing altogether -- are intentionally placed near air conditioners or getting blasts from jet engines. You won't believe your eyes."

Socialists and Communists: Coming out of the Closet

Beatroot

American Thinker  "So what is the lesson here? The communists and socialists are attempting to become mainstream. The question remains: will it work? Time will tell. In the meantime, I would like to see these capitalist living bearded socialists try moving to one of the countries that already has a socialist or communist form of government in place. Try it out for awhile. Let me know how much you like it and get back to me. It would be fascinating to see if you continue to believe in those failed systems of government as you quickly flee back to the United States of America."

Defeated Democrats Pen Letter to Implore Pelosi to step aside

Fox News  "The letter goes on to say "Madam Speaker, fairly or unfairly, Republicans made you the face of the resentment and disagreement in our races. While we commend your years of service to our party and your leadership through many tough times, we respectfully ask that you step aside as the top Democrat in the House."

"The letter says that the defeated members "fear that Republicans will further demonize you, and in so doing, they will scare potential candidates out. The prospect of having to run against their own party leadership, in addition to their Republican opponent is simply too daunting.""   Hot Air photo

Get to Work Stopping the Obama Tax Hikes

Heritage  "President Obama is right: presidents often do get too much of the credit and too much of the blame for the economic performance of the country. But there is one aspect of the economy that President Obama does have control over: taxes. And at a time when our nation’s unemployment still hovers around 10%, President Obama’s tax plan raises taxes by $1.8 trillion over the next 10 years."
Stop the tax increases and Obama's people will then call it the "Obama Tax Cuts" to claim credit. But Reagan once said there's no limit to what you can accomplish as long as you don't care who gets the credit.
