Radical-in-Chief

Frontpage Magazine  "...is that Barack Obama not only does he come from the left that I came out of, the radical America-despising left, but the worst part of it.  He had a 20-year relationship with a leftist whom I despised when I thought of myself as a Marxist revolutionary, which is Billy Ayers–despised him because he was so shallow and destructive."

 Obama: Still the Alinskyite   "Obama is a bad negotiator because Alinskyite’s don’t negotiate, they intentionally polarize. As for their own groups, here they try to placate all factions and hide their own goals. That about describes Obama’s performance on the debt deal, which included a dollop of both of these stances."

Milwaukee Issues Press Release on Racial Turmoil at State Fair: "We're Reaping the Harvest We've Sown"

Saberpoint  "Two aldermen of the City of Milwaukee have issued a press release addressing the black-on-white attacks at the Wisconsin State Fair. In the press release, they did something unprecedented: they placed the blame on the black community, where in fact it actually belongs. "The press release states:" ....

....Our hearts go out to the older generation of African Americans in this city who remember when their community had one of the HIGHEST marriage rates in the city. Sadly, many of these same residents are now scared of their own children and grandchildren....

American Tinderbox  "A twist that is also gaining popularity is the “flash rob” where a large group of young people descends on a store and loots it. As responsible journalists are always careful to say, the overall trend of youth crime in the US remains headed down, but this particular form of crime seems to be gaining steam."

The American Interest

Maxine Waters on the LA riots   "In 1992, during the Los Angeles riots in which 58 people were killed – she called it a rebellion – Waters excused the gang of black thugs who nearly murdered white truck driver Reginald Denny, saying, "The anger in my district is righteous. I'm just as angry as they are." She also dismissed those who looted Korean-owned stores by saying, "They were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. They are not crooks.""

More on this here.   There were heroes among the rioters in LA who must be remembered. Perhaps there were in Wisconsin as well.

Spare Us the Sermons, Mr. President ; And explain why your policies aren’t working.

Victor Davis Hanson "During the recent debt crisis, President Obama talked about the need for bipartisan compromise and, as in the past, he urged civility. Giving ground and engaging in polite discourse, of course, can be noble aims. But, like most one-eyed-jack politicians, Obama has rarely embraced the admirable qualities he advocates — a fact increasingly evident to a skeptical public."

Media Bias made manifest

A compilation of biased media articles .No matter how strong the conservatives' arguments are against Obama policies, they will have to get past all this to make their case known to the American people. Read these and you can understand why Republicans and the TEA Party do poorly in polls.

Civility: A Compilation of 'the GOP is Insane/Terrorists/Extremists' Articles  "There are some legitimately non-hyperbolic editorials coming out from the Left. However-- a disproportionate amount coming from actual establishment news organizations and writers should be cause for alarm. Yes, there is the regular alarm-pulling at the Nation and the Daily Kos-- but there is a troubling trend. The most heavy-- and even obscene terms are being thrown at the GOP. Below are just some examples from this month alone."

NBC's Gregory Accuses GOP of 'Politicizing' Debt Downgrade, After Allowing John Kerry to Blame Tea Party   "On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC, host David Gregory allowed Massachusetts Senator John Kerry to blame Standard and Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt on the Tea Party without challenge. However, minutes later, in an interview with Arizona Senator John McCain, Gregory was quick to accuse Republicans of "politicizing" the issue by criticizing Democrats."

The Class Warfare Will Be Televised: ABC’s ‘Revenge’ a ‘Takedown of the Rich’  "Funny how this cynical new ABC series (produced and starring the rich, no doubt) assumes average Americans are more interested in taking revenge on the rich instead of becoming rich themselves. It’s also also interesting that the show is set in the Hamptons as opposed to, say… Hollywood?"

Deriding the Tea Party: Children Who Don't "Understand," Terrorists "Strapped with Dynamite"

NBC News’ Al Sharpton Under Fire from Black Journalist Association “He would be the first African American with a nightly show on cable news in years and yet he’s not a journalist, he’s obviously a liberal activist and former candidate.”

The Conservative Crazy Eyes Cliche [and] Other Stupid MSM Photo Tricks  "Question: When was the last time Time or Newsweek put a halo around a conservative politician? Hmmm?"

How can the government promote the economy? (Updated)

Get out of the way!    "So what can the government do to promote real job growth? Quite simply, get out of the way. We don’t need to teach the grass to grow; we just need to move the rocks off of it. The rocks weighing down on the economy are government rules and regulations — in other words, bureaucracy and overregulation."

Roadblocks for Obama’s Pro-Jobs Bus Tour  "With those as the two most serious job-creating plans the president has proposed recently, it’s no wonder employers aren’t feeling much confidence right now."

Charles Krauthammer: How the super-committee can strike a Grand Bargain  "Conventional wisdom holds that the congressional super-committee established by the debt-ceiling deal to propose further deficit reduction will go nowhere. I’m not so sure. There is a grand compromise to be had. It does, however, require precise sequencing. To succeed it must proceed in three stages:"....

U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded: Now They’ve Done It

http://terrellaftermath.com/ 

Heritage  "For decades past memory, United States government debt was deemed the gold standard of credit quality. Textbooks referred to U.S. Treasuries as the “riskless asset” against which all others were compared. Those days have passed, at least for now, because the U.S. government has rapidly piled debt upon debt and ,on its current trajectory, evidences no inclination to stop. Under the circumstances, without a fundamental policy course correction, a repeatedly threatened credit rating downgrade became inevitable, with only the timing at issue."

Our dear ruler's downgrade  "The key to maintaining our current rating, not slipping further, and hopefully bumping back up to our AAA rating will be spending cuts. Period. End of story. While the S&P says that tax increases would be nice, that is not the key for any future downgrade. The key will be spending cuts." Democrats.

Via Neal Boortz as is the following...

The blame game: credit downgrade  "The downgrade of our credit rating has validated this theory. Unable to cope with the idea that their guy, Barack Obama, royally screwed up and is now responsible for the first credit downgrade in U.S. history … they are pointing fingers. Big time.

"So the #1 scapegoat over the weekend was … the Tea Party! Let’s take a look at some of the highlights:"....

Democrats ignore AAA countries' experience  "These recommendations are nonsense, because all of the countries with AAA-rated debt (as compared to the United States' AA+-rated debt) already have lower corporate tax rates than the US does. ...."

"The frustrations against the Tea Party were rooted in the thinking that the US can continue supporting the welfare and entitlement programs at ever increasing rates as it has for the past 50 years. Instead, the frustration should be targeted against those who accept the idea that the broken programs will be sustainable much farther into the future."

Can a Free Market Support a Democratic Socialist Society? 

Neil Cavuto Challenges Rep. Kucinich On The Economy: ‘Why Are [Corporations] Responsible And Not You Guys?’   "“Why are they responsible and not you guys?” he asked, referring to Congress. “They’re chased overseas because of regulations and taxes.” “Believe me,” he argued, “they want to bring that money home, but they’re spanked big time if they do.” At this the Congressman began reading a list of corporations that paid little to no taxes, including Exxon Mobil, which Cavuto countered was “one of the top ten federally taxed corporations. Cavuto concluded, contrary to the Congressman, that corporations “would invest if they had an environment that was hospitable."

Obama: Time for an Apology

Roger Kimball  "In a not-to-be-missed interview with Neil Cavuto ...she boiled it down to one word: “Apologize.” He should say he’s sorry for his failure of leadership. Sorry for his utopian economic illiteracy. Sorry for putting ideology above political wisdom.

"That would be the manly, the honorable thing to do. Admit he was wrong about what needed to be done to fix the U.S. economy.

"What will he do? He will blame Standard & Poor’s. Or George W. Bush. Or the Tea Party. Or all three."

....

" “Deficits went up in 2008,” Mr. York notes, “with the beginning of the economic downturn — and, not coincidentally, with the first full year of a Democratic House and Senate.” "

What Obama inherited from President Bush:

Obama partisans ignore facts when bashing Bush    "As far as tax cuts are concerned, Bush did indeed cut taxes for the wealthy -- along with everybody else who paid income taxes. But does Brown remember that tax revenues actually increased in the years after the Bush tax cuts took effect?"  Byron York.

Left's Tea Party Invective on Boil

Human Events  "Tea Partiers shouldn’t fear such leftist smears. Liberals are trying to demonize a movement that wants a constitutional federal government, less spending, low taxes and more freedom. Oh, how very “extreme” and “terroristic.” "

Brian Darling, a HUMAN EVENTS columnist, is senior fellow for Government Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

New Health Guidelines from HHS Trample on Conscience

Heritage  "Forcing private insurance plans to pay for morally controversial offerings such as contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients raises obvious questions regarding freedom of conscience. Federal law requires respect for the conscience of health care providers on many of these issues. Unfortunately, the new HHS guidelines show disrespect for freedom of conscience."

....

The new HHS guidelines contain a conscience protection, but it is offensively narrow. Only “certain religious employers” qualify for the protection, and the guidelines make clear that a religious employer is only one that:

• Has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose;
• Primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets;
• Primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets; and is a non-profit organization under particular provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

" There are at least four serious problems with this “protection” for conscience."....
