Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Empty Apologetics

Victor Davis Hanson  "Apologizing for the sins of long-dead others, in psychological fashion, obviates the need for present contrition for one’s own personal shortcomings. For example, Obama blasts past racism, but to this day has never apologized for subsidizing, by attendance and tithes, the abject racist and anti-Semite Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is easier for Obama to apologize for America’s action in World War II than to apologize because as an irresponsible youth (“teenage boys are frequently confused”), he used cocaine (“maybe a little blow”) — a felonious practice that has long subsidized the murderous Latin American drug cartels. To cast stones at the dead, one must first be free of sin while alive.

The Obama Bow-O-Meter:

"In short, anytime an American president offers apologies for supposed transgressions in his nation’s long distant past, it tells us more about the apologizer than it does about the purported sin."

A Hollywood Republican comments on Democrat and Republican Strategies

Democratic Strategy  "The left is doing a scorch earth campaign and this campaign will continue beyond   the election.  This campaign will be based on the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign and the 2002 California election as the Democrats will target Republicans while Republicans are vying against each other during the primary.  It will also combined the tactics of Democrats and their union allies in Wisconsin, in which protestors hit the street, unions threatens businesses to support them or else face boycotts and forced recall elections against a sitting State Supreme Court justices and Republican Senators."

 Republican Strategy for 2012  "The second thing is to move into the minority communities with a campaign that features how liberal policy has failed them. This will do two things, lower voter turnout by removing the fear of Republicans and peel a few extra votes which will prove decisive in key battleground state. The Democrat’s strategy is to design a spike campaign to try to overwhelm Republican voters in key battleground states and a proper Republican response will be instrumental in dampening this key part of Democratic strategy."

(UPDATED) PATRIOT CEO TAKES ON THE FLEA PARTY OWS

Freedom Fighter's Journal  " The long-time financial industry executive and radio host asked the protesters what they felt was a fair percentage for him to be taxed. None seemed to provide a clear answer, but were intent on telling Schiff that the Bush tax cuts need to be abolished. Schiff then attempted to explain to the demonstrators that, if the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, he would end up paying more than 50 percent to the government in taxes. Is “that fair?” he asked. The protesters simply stayed on course, reiterating that Schiff and all those in the “1%“ need to ”pay their fair share.”
"Schiff provides a good example of what happens when “the 99%” are confronted with legitimate questions about taxes, entrepreneurship, employment, and giving back to society."
Article and video here.  
Buncha skulls full of mush as Rush would say.

Speaking of which, lets take a look at Academia and the Flea party:  "“Economists whose recent works have decried income inequality have informed the movement’s critiques of capitalism.” They include Hardt, a professor of literature at Duke, and Antonio Negri, former professor of political science at the University of Padua. “They have anticipated some of the central issues raised by the protests,” Berrett notes. “Most recently, they linked the actions in New York and other American cities to previous demonstrations in Spain, Cairo’s Tahrir Square, and in Athens, among other places.”"

(Update) Ten richest celebs supporting OWS have collective net worth over a billion dollars "Celebrity airheads who are supporting the occupiers are feeding Wall Street to the crocodile, forgetting that the beast quickly gets hungry for more. Celebrity Net Worth has a highly amusing article on the subject. The top ten:"

#1 Yoko Ono Net Worth - $500 million.
Ono stated "I love 'Occupy Wall Street'! John is sending his smile to 'Occupy Wall Street'. I am sending my love to 'Occupy Wall Street'. We are all working together. "....

Ann Coulter: If I Were a Liberal

Ann Coulter "If I were a liberal, I would have spent the last week in shock that a Democratic audience in Flint, Mich., cheered Vice President Joe Biden's description of a policeman being killed."
....
"Obama's jobs bill tackles the problem of rape and murder by giving the states $30 billion ... for public school teachers.
"Only $5 billion is even allotted to the police, but all we keep hearing about are the rapes and murders that Democrats are suddenly against (as long as being "against" rape and murder means funding public school teachers and not imprisoning or executing rapists and murderers).
"Finally, did Flint use any money from Obama's last trillion-dollar stimulus bill to hire more police in order to prevent rape and murder? No, Flint spent its $2.2 million from the first stimulus bill on buying two electric buses."
Here she is on Matt Lauer  (video)

Neal Boortz on the "Occutards" including "The Occupy Movement is Obama's Movement"

Here is a full list of articles for those who enjoy/are driven to more and more commentary on these useful idiots littering American streets. Disagree with me? Then click on this link and enjoy.

Clear Out the Occutards   "Hat’s off to Atlanta’s Mayor Kasim Reed this morning. Last night he sent in the Atlanta Police to clear the occupiers out of Woodruf Park. To everyone’s credit, there was no violence. Most occupiers left, a small group decided to stay and be arrested. "

Trust Fund Useful Idiot   "Now bear in mind that through this entire rant this kid is crying and screaming at the top of his lungs. Also bear in mind that this kid is a trust fund baby. He has wealthy parents and has neither had, nor will he have for some time to come the necessity of working to sustain himself. He’s a professional student … now with some actual teaching responsibilities at Columbia."

The Occupy Movement is Obama's Movement  "It is a leftist, anti-wealth, anti-capitalist movement inspired by Obama’s class warfare rhetoric over the past years. These childish and ignorant know-it-alls actually believe that the rich don’t pay taxes and that Wall Street is to blame for our financial crisis. When you tell them that people who earn over $380,000 a year earn about 18.9% of all earned income, but pay nearly 40% of all income taxes, they give you that brook trout look … mouth hanging open with glassy eyes. When you tell them that the Republicans tried to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but were blocked by Democrats – principally Barney Frank – no less than four times over the past ten years, they look at you with the face of complete incomprehension.
"We have a president who despises capitalism. The protestors echo that. We have a president who believes that wealth belongs to the government, and that the government is the ultimate decider on how it will be distributed. The occutards echo that.
"In some respects it would be sad to see the occupy movement end. These children are constant reminder of the inevitable results of Obama’s class warfare efforts and what is sure to be a pure wealth-envy class warfare campaign."

Young Occutards Got Suckered  "The reason they are not protesting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is because to do that would mean that these kids .. who have always been told how wonderful they are .. would have to admit that they made a mistake. They would have to take responsibility, and you know how much they must loathe the concept of personal responsibility. So instead of blaming themselves for putting an incompetent Marxist hack in the White House, or instead of protesting the hack himself, they find a scapegoat: Wall Street."

Random Insensitive Thoughts  "OccuTards tweet me saying “What’s the matter with having a conversation?” Beating drums and crapping on my flag does not constitute a conversation."

Christian Charity Free to Staff on a Religious Basis

Heritage  "The question in the World Vision  case involved the scope of the Title VII religious staffing freedom: Does that freedom apply to independent religious charities, such as World Vision, or only to traditional houses of worship, such as churches, synagogues, and similar groups and groups closely affiliated with them?
"Earlier this year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decided that World Vision qualified for the Title VII religious staffing freedom. That decision stands as a strong victory for religious freedom."

Treason? Senior Communist Lobbies “Super Committee” for Defense Cuts

NewZeal  "Judith LeBlanc  is a leader of the Communist Party’s Peace and Solidarity Commission, the party body charged with directing the US peace movement and liaising with foreign “peace’ and radical organizations.
"LeBlanc is also national field organizer for Peace Action, the country’s largest grassroots peace organization with 100,000 members across the country."

Rep. Ryan accuses Obama of 'sowing social unrest'

Rick Moran  "It's about time someone pointed out the consequences of Obama's reckless class warfare rhetoric."
....
..."The only way Obama can win is by dividing America by class and pitting the have nots against the haves. But countering that argument is vital so that the disease of class warfare does not gain a foothold and create conditions ripe for the tar and feather crowd to go off on those they believe are better off than them."

Global Warming: An Obituary

Warning Signs  "I have predicted the death of global warming several times, but like a Hollywood zombie global warming is kept alive by its massive propaganda machine and useful idiots in the media.
"Since the late 1980s The New York Times has engaged in the most horrid effort to convince its readers and the world that the IPCC should be taken seriously even though its successive reports have proven to be an offense to real science and the truth. No opportunity was ignored to advance the hoax even in the face of incontrovertible facts of every description."

The Ayers Brothers Connection: Coaching #OccupyChicago, Calling for School ‘Occupations’

Trevor Loudon  "Is the “Occupy” movement a passing phase that will wither when the first blasts of winter hit Chicago and New York and Milwaukee? Or is this the beginning a much more significant, and dangerous period of US history?
"The involvement of veteran activists like the Ayers brothers indicates that this is no mere passing explosion of youthful anarchist outrage. The “mature” left is backing OWS for a reason. They’ve been waiting for this for a long time. They knew it would come. After all, their Marxist creed tells them that revolution is inevitable. Its only a matter of time."

Obama, the left, and the, um, journalists

Big Journalism: White House Attempts To Bully Reporter Over Biden Questions   "Joe Biden has traveled across the country, threatening Americans with “rapes and murders” if congress didn’t pass Obama’s jobs bill, the same jobs bill that Democrats killed in the Senate (so are on the hook for said “rapes and murders?”). He didn’t like the questioning he received from Human Events’s Jason Mattera on the subject, so now the White House is taking aim at Mattera with an investigation."

Petty Punishment for the Washington Post  "The purpose of such treatment, and the denial of the housing “scoop” to the Post, would be to get inside Goldfarb’s head so that he doesn’t try this again. Many reporters can’t help but think twice before writing something that will result in verbal abuse, and short-sighted editors get very nervous when the competitors have a story that they don’t.
"Hopefully, Goldfarb and his editors will be undeterred." Keith Koffler  via Big Journalism

Jewish Leaders Join Bozell’s Demand for Network Coverage of Anti-Semitism at 'Occupy Wall Street'
  "Neither Jews nor Christians, nor any person of faith should stand for the deliberate whitewash of anti-Semitism at these protests, especially not by the same newsrooms that were eager to link supposed racism to the Tea Party. We will not stop applying pressure to these networks until they stop concealing the hatred and report the reality of Occupy Wall Street."

http://drawfortruth.com/category/media-bias/
"At the top of CBS's The Early Show, co-host Chris Wragge teased that viewers would "hear what President Obama makes of the GOP race." Later, following the clip of Obama dismissing the Republican field, news reader Jeff Glor reported: "Mr. Obama is the only sitting President to appear on The Tonight Show.""
