Herman Cain: 'Why Don't You Move the Demonstrations to the White House?

CNS News  "“When a reporter asked me the other day, well, what do you think about those demonstrations up on Wall Street, I said, first of all, Wall Street didn’t write these failed economic policies -- the White House did,” said Cain."

LA Times: Herman Cain steps up attacks on Occupy Wall Street protests"Republican presidential contender Herman Cain amplified his criticism Sunday of the growing Occupy Wall Street movement, calling the protesters “jealous’ Americans who "play the victim card” and want to “take somebody else’s” Cadillac."

Where Do We Draw the Line?

Breakpoint  "How will Christians be affected by the new same-sex “marriage” laws creeping across the country? We may end up paying a high price, as the story of Laura Fotusky shows."

..."Fotusky got in touch with New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms and others to find out if there were any protections for town clerks who believed that helping facilitate “marriages” between homosexuals would violate their conscience.
....  "Fotusky discovered there were no such protections for town clerks. As the Rev. Jason McGuire, Executive Director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, dryly noted, “It’s unfortunate that when state senators were busy protecting liberal special interests and padding their campaign accounts, that they failed to protect good people of faith.” "
....
"“A just law,” [Dr.Martin Luther]King wrote, “is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.”
"Fotusky observed that her view of marriage does indeed square with God's law. The Bible “clearly teaches that God created marriage between male and female as a divine gift that preserves families and cultures.”"

Will Warmists Face Justice for their Deceptions?

Warning Signs  "A former government employee, Vice President Al Gore, became the face and voice of the hoax, earning millions in the process.
"What has the global warming cost Americans? Joanne Nova of the Science and Public Policy Institute has estimated that the U.S. government spent more than $32.5 billion on climate studies between 1989 and 2009, nor does that include about $79 billion more spent for related climate change technology research, foreign aid, and tax breaks for “green energy” (solar and wind).
"For deception on that scale, one might think they will be punished at some point, but it will likely be years more before those responsible for the global warming fraud will stand before the bar of justice, if ever." Alan Caruba

Israel as a wedge issue

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Caroline Glick  " But for the first time in his presidency, last month at the UN Obama spoke to a world audience and drew a moral equivalence between Israel that seeks peace and the Palestinians who seek Israel's destruction.
"Given his record, this is a step forward.
"What caused the change?
"Quite simply, the Republican victory in New York's 9th Congressional District's special election earlier this month caused the change. Obama did not attack Israel at the UN because he is concerned that he is losing American Jewish support."....
"Traditional Democratic support for Israel began eroding with the nomination of George McGovern as the party's presidential candidate in 1972. Before Obama, Jimmy Carter was the most hostile president Israel ever experienced.
"In the 1990s, Bill Clinton was widely regarded as pro-Israel. Yet during Clinton's eight years in office, Yassir Arafat was the most frequent foreign guest at the White House. Clinton's legacy was the Palestinian terror war which broke out in his last months in office."

Regulation Happy in San Francisco

Heritage  "The Precautionary Principle is often used to justify needless regulations and leaves the door open for all kinds of open-ended regulation that could do significantly more damage. In implementing it, San Francisco is merely repeating the mistakes of many other government entities.
"Gattuso and Katz point out that in the past two years, the Obama Administration has imposed 75 new major regulations with a price tag of $38 billion.
"As red tape rises within every inch of our nation’s private industry, where will the government intrusion end? Until there’s a concrete reason to warn cell phone consumers of radiation risks, retailers definitely shouldn’t be forced to deal with these precautionary measures."

Obama's Behavior Is Getting Worse/ Peeking Behind the Liberal Curtain

http://terrellaftermath.com/

David Limbaugh "Obama's Thursday news conference was a sober reminder of the nature of the man in the Oval Office. I infer that even many of his supporters in the liberal media are finally catching on to the magnitude of his personality disorders.

"How could a man in his important position continue to act so childishly, accepting no responsibility for his policies and behavior and demonizing everyone who dares to disagree with or oppose him? It's worse than embarrassing; it's unsettling."

....

"Our chief executive either is a mastermind at Machiavellian manipulation or has deep psychological and emotional problems. I've never seen an adult in an important leadership position -- especially not the president of the United States -- show such frightening immaturity and self-absorption."
Mr. Limbaugh is a nationally syndicated columnist and author of Crimes Against Liberty, Bankrupt: The Moral and Intellectual Bankruptcy of Today's Democratic Party, Absolute Power and Persecution.
H/t to Alan Caruba

Peeking Behind the Liberal Curtain  "Looking back on the first three years of this administration, I can't decide which I've found more repulsive -- Obama's loony policies or his unmitigated arrogance. After all, he was the guy who vowed to heal the planet, lower the ocean and make America everybody's sweetheart. And yet, in spite of a trillion dollar stimulus, this oaf has seen unemployment and underemployment soar; has seen nation after nation treat us like a toothless, foul-smelling, tiger; has seen his party lose one election after another; has seen his own approval numbers approach Jimmy Carter's; has overseen the loss of our triple-A credit rating; and spent nearly two years twisting arms and bribing politicians to pass an unpopular 2,000-page health care bill that, in the end, is likely to be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court."

In this same column, Burt Prelutsky comments on the American hikers ransomed by the US from Iran:  Obama and these leftist hikers; all part of the Bill Ayers crowd.

Inasmuch as this jerk felt compelled to find a moral equivalency between the country that had tossed his sorry ass in prison and the country that had spent a great deal of time, effort and money, to gain his release, I wasn't shocked to discover that Bauer is a freelance journalist for the San Francisco-based, far leftwing New America Media; that Fattal describes himself as an environmental activist; and that Bauer's fiancé and fellow hiker, Sharon Shourd, who had been released a year earlier, is a member of Just Cause, an Oakland-based group that favors racial reparations, continues to oppose white colonialism decades after it ended, and even, ironically enough, finds nice things to say about Iran's Ahmadinejad.In a word, this nation has moved mountains in order to obtain the freedom of three typically ungrateful, brain-dead, Berkeleyites.

Contrast: Tea Party Vs. Occupy Wall Street Pictures

iOwnTheWorld.com

In praise of 300,000 peaceful protesters in 350 locations  "In contrast to 15,000 at the Atlanta Tea Party rally, there were a few hundred at the Occupy Atlanta rally, which devolved into one of the weirdest side-shows in the history of American protest, with catatonic collective chanting and a refusal to allow Congressman John Lewis to talk to the crowd.

"In contrast to attacks on a national treasure (the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum) during the OccupyDC rally, the Tea Parties were peaceful. For a trip down memory lane, check out the Memeorandum page from April 15, 2009.
"Yet the Tea Parties were called an extremist fringe group, while the Occupy protesters are glorified."  William A. Jacobson   Emphasis angrily added. TD

PDS found Palin, Palin didn’t find PDS

Legal Insurrection  "Attacking Palin became an industry, and when she fought back she was blamed. The derangement started the day she was designated by John McCain as the VP nominee, and it continues to this day from small people like David Frum.
"Palin didn’t bring it on herself, but having found herself in the cross-hairs, she fought back. Good on her."

From 2008:  Palin Derangement Syndrome: Obama's Worst Enemy?  "What her detractors don't seem to realize is that in the process of insulting Palin, they are insulting the majority of the country. If being a self-made success story, a working mother, a church-going member of a small-town community, and a believer in moderate to conservative political viewpoints disqualifies Palin, what does that say about mainstream America? The inherent condescension at the heart of the anti-Palin campaign is coming across loud and clear and it may actually be boosting her popularity."   The Undefeated Trailer

Gunwalker: Punch-Drunk Eric Holder Swings Back at Critics, Hits Self (Updated)

Pajamas Media  "Friday was just another day in a continuing series of bad days for the administration of President Barack Obama, as the furor surrounding the executive branch’s gun-walking scandal continues to escalate."....
"As part of his constant effort to impose gun control, Holder also tried to claim, as other Democrats have, that current laws are insufficient to stop weapons trafficking and that “penalties for straw purchasers are inadequate.”
"Someone should tell him about a long-running program called Don’t Lie For The Other Guy, a joint effort of his own ATF and the National Shooting Sports Foundation that reminds straw purchasers that buying a weapon for someone you know can’t legally get a gun could get you ten years in prison."

Update: Congressman Asks Holder to Resign Amid New Fast and Furious Details  "“As our nation’s top enforcer of the principles of law and justice, Mr. Holder has lost all credibility and should step down immediately,” Rep. Raúl Labrador said in a statement this afternoon."

Down with evil Corporations!

Hot Air "...the Daily Mail has a few other pictures of the prodigious amount of waste piling up at the occupation.  Like I said, I’ve been at a number of Tea Party events, and the one consistent quality of them is the respect for public property given by the attendees.  They leave the grounds cleaner than they found them in most cases, which probably comes from their reluctance to seize property that doesn’t belong to them."

Ten Lessons from Obama

Victor Davis Hanson  "The election of Barack Obama brought all sorts of contradictions. A man with about the least prior executive experience in presidential history was suddenly acclaimed a “god” and the smartest man ever to assume the office."

....

"In less than three years, however, the Obama administration has established a far different legacy from the one it promised, and the lessons of 2009–2011 will be with us for a long time:"

....

"A sadder but wiser electorate in 2012 simply won’t believe that any candidate — Democrat or Republican — can cool the planet or stop the seas from rising. Barack Obama taught us that — and a lot more besides."

 

The Meaning of ‘Occupy Wall Street.’ The Confusion on the Left and the Right

Ron Radosh   And those rough edges are there. Watch any of the video reports on MSNBC, which has virtually camped out there during its evening prime time coverage by the likes of Ed Schultz and the rest of its left-leaning team, and you will see a conglomeration of younger people in their 20s and 30s. There is also a strange amalgamation of leftover hippies from the ’60s and some who appear to be truly bizarre, as well as scores of extreme left radical groups from organizations as diverse as anarchists, members of the Industrial Workers of the World ...and, of course, an assortment of every remaining communist and socialist grouplet with their own signs and propaganda."

The "Occupy Wall Street Movement" Synthesizing With The Arab Spring?


"Is it any surprise that an effigy of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein’s bloody severed head on a pike was paraded around for protestors to cheer?"
