"But what may be truly disturbing is that this openly Socialist Politician and known supporter of the CPUSA actually has a seat in theCommittee on Homeland Security." From P/Oed Patriot/
Debbie Schlussel "Where were the Islamic world’s apologies for 9/11, for Fort Hood, for the attempted Times Square massacre, for the 1993 WTC bombing, for the U.S.S. Cole, for TWA Flight 847 and Robert Dean Stethem, for William Buckley and Rich Higgins, for Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore, for the Marines in the Beirut Barracks, for the Marines in the German disco, for Pan Am Flight 103, for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, for the Khobar Towers, for Nick Berg, for Paul Johnson, for Daniel Pearl, for U.S. contractors burnt to a crisp and hung from a bridge in Fallujah, for the Navy SEALs who died in the shot-down helicopter? Crickets chirping . . . . But a ton of apologies out of us for what? For the burning of a book that has inspired 1.8 billion to hate us and quite a few of that number to try–and succeed–in killing us?
...."The Islamic world would actually respect us–and fear us–more, if we deliberately burned Korans. Instead, we did it by accident–because Islamic terrorists defaced them in order to communicate jihadist plans on their pages."
Kirsten Powers:Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist "Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened.
"Boycotts are reserved for people on the right like Rush Limbaugh,..." Left-wing commentators remarks about conservatives. (We regret that quoting the language below uncensored is necessary to show these people have sunk to depths of vitriol that we have never seen from the right.)
NY Times: Limbaugh Advertisers Flee Show Amid Storm "Emboldened by Rush Limbaugh’s public apology over the weekend to a law school student whom he had called a “slut” and a “prostitute,” critics of the radio talk show host are intensifying their online campaign against his advertisers.

Selwyn Duke:Is the Word 'Slut' Still Relevant?* "It really is a testimonial as to how we live in that prophesied time in which good is called bad and bad is called good. Undesirable behavior is kept to a minimum through stigmatization, and to this end we have always labeled such behavior and those who habitually engage in it with derogatory terms. Now, however, it is the virtuous who are stigmatized into silence." ...."Meanwhile, oh-so chivalrous Barack Obama placed a phone call to feminist Fluke to offer his support -- and increase his among the fairer sex. I guess he's that certain type of man who uses loose women for personal gain."
American Thinker: Panicky Advertisers Abandon Limbaugh "Do any of these companies care that the Democratic Party, which is advancing this contraceptive spectacle, promotes abortion which has snuffed out 53 million American lives since 1973? Do these companies have any idea whatsoever about the evil of the abortion holocaust as compared to the mistake of calling someone a derogatory name?"
The Fluke Gambit Pays Off For Dems "We've seen this PR stunt before, going back to the Clarence Thomas hearings twenty years ago. That media riot was also designed to convince liberals that Mr. Thomas hated women. It failed when Clarence Thomas seized the headlines by accusing the media of staging a "high tech lynching" against him. The sheer, shocking truth of that charge silenced them for a few days, while they scrambled to make up an answer, and the Senate Judiciary Committee seized the moment to pass Thomas through the committee.
"The key to it all is coordinated media scapegoating."
"This is a Democrat specialty."
National Review:Limbaugh’s Apology "To continue the controversy at this point would be merely to pursue the vendetta against Limbaugh in exactly the way that has landed us in the mess our culture’s in. In short: If people don’t let this go at this point, they shouldn’t complain the next time somebody engages in insults, refuses to apologize, and makes our culture even coarser. If you reward something, you tend to get more of it. Let’s try rewarding decency for a change, and see what happens."
"Ann Coulter is the first woman to point out Bill Maher's"woman problem"during a recent appearance on his show. And oh yes, there is a clip."
Rick Moran:Breitbart 'Obama tapes' from Harvard will be out soon "I don't know if there's going to be anything explosive or damaging to Obama in some videotapes that Andrew Breitbart got a hold of from the president's days at Harvard. It would have been much better if we had some film of Obama from his years spent at Columbia, where the probable reason we don't know much about his time spent there was because he hung around with a lot of student radicals. "By the time Obama got to Harvard, his career path was set and he was probably very careful about his associations. Still, the mystery of Obama's past that our watchdog press never got around to telling us about will have some gaps filled in if these videos are indeed, released."
Sorry to rain on a good parade but consider this: It mattered not one bit to Democrats that Bill Clinton was accused of rape. And to whom will it matter that Obama was in the company of communists and violent left-wing radicals? To the "occupiers" who call for government to run every aspect of business and life? To those who waved Soviet* flags on the night of Obama's inauguration and posted pictures of Che Guevara in his campaign offices? *Language advisory
Lloyd Marcus"The Fluke contraception controversy is Democrat inspired. It is yet another example of Democrats promoting and trying to force all Americans to fund behavior many Americans would consider to be sinful. We taxpayers are minding our own business. We are, for the most part, passively ignoring America's cultural rot. "But our passivity is not enough for the Democrats. They demand that we pay for behaviors which are in conflict with the principles, values and faith of many Americans. ...."Also, am I weird or old-fashioned for thinking it a bit shameful for a woman to go before congressional committee to basically say, I sleep around a lot and demand that taxpayers pay for my birth-control? Fluke is a prime example of how nothing is shameful any more, which is in-keeping with the moral relativism philosophy taught in colleges. Moral Relativism in a nutshell says nothing is right or wrong and no one has a right to judge the morality of anything."
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
" I think Rush did the right thing in apologizing to Fluke. However, let’s keep in mind that it was Fluke who made her sexual activity a matter of national political debate by insisting that the government pass laws and regulations forcing employers and insurers to provide her free contraception, and apparently as much as she and others demand."
"You have to appreciate the Orwellian nature of this clip. Obama is calling this woman, who is already being used for fundraising by Democrats, to offer his support to someone and to decry political attacks on individual citizens. Meanwhile, everyone in the room understand that this is a thinly veiled attack on Rush Limbaugh by…the President:"...
Michelle Malkin:Sandra Fluke is not a “slut.” She’s a femme-agogue tool; DCCC, Emily’s list fund-raise off of Rush"Let’s be clear (to use Obama’s favorite phrase): This is not just the politics of personal destruction. It’s a vendetta of campaign finance destruction. Under the guise of “disclosure,” Team Obama is exploiting the power of high government office to intimidate lawful, peaceful contributors who support limited-government causes."
"Sarah Palin says the joke was “sexually perverted” and “disgusting”. She also said Letterman’s joke that she looked like a “slutty flight attendant” as “pretty pathetic”. Letterman in the above response said he thought the flight attendant joke was actually pretty good." Former Congresswoman Smacks Down Bill Maher for Calling Fox's Megyn Kelly 'Not Bright' 'Blonde Twink'"First, he completely forgot that his previous guest just released a book about the sexist treatment of women in the Obama White House and that he actually discussed this issue with him. "Next, he went after the intellectual capacity of Megyn Kelly, a former attorney that is considered one of the most intelligent people on Fox News. As anyone familiar with Kelly's work knows, Maher wouldn't last 60 seconds in a debate on any subject with her.
"But right-thinking observers know Maher's sexism and misogyny, especially for conservative women, knows no bounds."
Religious Liberty Homily"On February 5, 2012 Father Sammie Maletta delivered a Homily at St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. This Homily addressed how President Obama is threatening our Religious Freedom and declaring war with the Catholic Church. Please take a few moments to listen. No one sums it up quite like Father Maletta. Go to http://bit.ly/zPdgpw to fight the HHS Mandate" And this is from a priest who basically likes Obama.
"The priest is a lawyer - the parish is middle class, northern Indiana, blue collar, mostly Democratic.
It's clear, direct and created a fire of activity."
He'll get flowers and a dead fish from Obama. Infowars"In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign." ...."As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.
"“I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out,” said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted."
With Breitbart gone, what becomes of his empire? "He used his websites to promote a hidden-camera video with actors posing as customers that led the downfall of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. He posted explicit photos of former Rep. Anthony Weiner that caused the New York congressman eventually to resign, but an edited video caused former U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod to resign over since-reversed perceptions she was a racist." ..."Breitbart seldom showed restraint with critics and seemed to savor the negative attention his antics earned him. He once told reporters from the stage at a tea party convention, "It's not your business model that sucks, it's you that sucks." ...."Breitbart traced his conservative conversion partly to the 1991 Senate hearings on Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court, which he considered unfair.(Just wanted to be sure you saw this)
"After Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts died in 2009, Breitbart tweeted, "Rest in Chappaquiddick" and called him "a special pile of human excrement." When critics questioned his tone, he tweeted they "missed my best ones!"

PJ Lifestyle "With The Lorax, the entertainment industry and the federal government have joined forces to produce a candy-colored dollop of castor-oil. This woeful would-be message movie is about as jaw-dropping as a notable previous Potomac/Pacific joint effort — the pro-Stalin film Mission to Moscow ordered up by Franklin Roosevelt in 1943."
"Dr. Seuss’ Lorax is a furry orange forest gnome who carries an overt anti-industry, anti-capitalist, pro-environmentalism theme, and in an effort to look as though they practice what they preach the backers of the film have lined up deals with supposedly green and eco-friendly outfits such as the detergent maker Seventh Generation, which is hawking a Lorax-branded bottle made of recycled paper. (Question: did anyone bother to measure the relative carbon emissions of making a plastic bottle versus making one out of paper, or is the overall feeling of groovy virtue all that matters?)"

Breitbart's Big Hollywood; The Lorax’ Review: Eco-Hypocrisy Leavened By Whimsical Creatures "Parents who cried foul over the “evil” oil baron character in “The Muppets” will recoil in horror during “The Lorax.” The title character finds the cutting of a single tree to be an abomination, and the film rallies the woodland creatures to make it seem as if any fallen tree is a tragedy of epic proportions. And the film’s villain, a clean air tycoon voices by comedian Rob Riggle, is the epitome of how Hollywood sees corporations. Soulless. Heartless. Undeniably cruel."
Power Line"Have we ever had an administration like Barack Obama’s? An administration that tries to benefit from pitting Americans against one another? An administration that uses its billion-dollar slush fund, not to mention the resources of the Executive Branch, to demonize private citizens who disagree with its policies? An administration that uses hate as an instrument of domestic politics? I don’t believe that there is any precedent in American history for the mean-spiritedness that now emanates from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
This following article is a masterpiece of Obama analysis and, though lengthy, we encourage you to read every word: James Lewis pegged Obama way back in 2009:Obama as Leninoid"It was Lenin, not Stalin, who first introduced the Cult of Personality to raise his profile to superhuman status after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917." ...."Again, social democrats prefer to avoid violence, and in Europe they often manage to do so by bribing voters, importing cheap new votes from poor countries, and the like. But the manipulative methods are similar: Leninoids always find victim groups, or create them, or import them, and then claim to speak on their behalf. That is happening today in the United States with illegal immigrants. These are not just accidents but deliberate policy. ...."Again, social democrats prefer to avoid violence, and in Europe they often manage to do so by bribing voters, importing cheap new votes from poor countries, and the like.
