Legal Insurrection: Native American Harvard alumna and lifelong Dem accuses Elizabeth Warren of “ethnic fraud”  "There have been protests by Cherokees and other Native American groups over Elizabeth Warren’s continued insistence that she is Native American despite the complete lack of evidence to sustantiate that claim and substantial evidence that the claim is not true.
"Now a Harvard graduate, Margo (Kickingbird) DeLaune (Ed. ’81) and her son, Cole R. DeLaune (Dartmouth ’08), have cirulated a letter to Harvard Native American graduates and to the Harvard Law School faculty, denouncing Elizabeth Warren." (Below)

Indian Country Today:  We Should Denounce the Conduct of Harvard and Elizabeth Warren  "Perhaps, in the end, we should appreciate Professor Warren for revealing institutionalized deficiencies at our alma mater that may have otherwise remained unexamined. However, we should nevertheless hold her accountable for the damage she has wrought—by either crassly capitalizing on the plight of the American Indian or indulging in the fetishization of a frequently caricaturized minority group."

What about an Obama second term?

From American Thinker: Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans   "The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power.   However, knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check on each other.

"What they could not imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them."

Politico: What exactly would President Obama do in a second term?   "Absent big — and for the moment, unlikely — Democratic gains in congressional races, the chances are high that the election will not bring clarity but more divided government. That means part of Obama’s election-year message, at least implicitly, is to elect him not for what he would do but for what he would stop conservative Republicans from doing."


Daily Caller: Obama Plans to Accelerate Ideological Course in Second Term   "He has also said many times that he believes his goals are so important that he intends to implement them with or without Congress, through executive or administrative usurpations. He has done more than talk; he has acted in contravention of the Constitution and intends to continue in that vein."   David Limbaugh

 Robert Reich:  Obama must offer bold plan to fix economy in 2nd term  "President Barack Obama’s electoral strategy can best be summed up as: “We’re on the right track, my economic policies are working, we still have a long way to go but stick with me and you’ll be fine.”

"That’s not good enough. This re­covery is too anemic, and the chance of an economic stall far too high. Even now, polls show, Mitt Romney’s empty “I’ll do it better” refrain is attracting as many voters as Obama’s “We’re on the right track.” "

Michael Medved : Obama and the Second-Term Curse  "But to keep that promise the president must overcome a "second-term curse" which constitutes one of the iron rules of the American presidency. Since the origins of the Republic, every re-elected president met with more frustrations and fewer notable triumphs in a second term than in his first.

"The record of rocky, often scandal-plagued second terms applied even to the most admired chief executives, very much including George Washington.... "

Ed Lasky: Obama believes the most important issue of second term is 'climate change'    

"Do we have the most obtuse President ever in the Oval Office? 

"Tens of millions of people out of work or underemployed; pension funds at risk; the entitlement crisis is getting worse every day it is unaddressed; the oncoming "fiscal cliff" threatens to throw us into another recession (predicted by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office; Taxmaggedon begins on January 1^st; our deficit is enormous and we have accumulated trillions of dollars of debt under his presidency with nothing to show for it other than high unemployment and high debt; and Barack Obama believes climate change trumps these concerns?"

From RiteOn.org.  Also here at Jihad Watch

FactCheck.org has this take: Funding Mosques Overseas  "But the program isn’t the brainchild of President Barack Obama. The program was created by Congress in late 2000 under President Bill Clinton, and the first grants were announced under President George W. Bush in 2001. The State Department says that, in total, the fund has contributed nearly $26 million to approximately 640 cultural heritage sites in more than 100 countries, and more than half was given before Obama took office."

Here is a fact that I wouldn't expect to read: "Plus — as anyone who has visited the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul or the Mezquita, a mosque and cathedral in Cordoba, Spain, could tell you — there are many ancient sites that were Islamic and Christian places of worship at different points in time."  Who'da thought?

Today's reading list

1. John McCain: Obama Administration Responsible for National Security Leaks
“It’s obvious on its face that this information came from individuals who are in the administration,” McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The president may not have done it himself, but the president certainly is responsible as commander in chief.”
2. Edward Klein’s “The Amateur” — and what it reveals about America’s partisan media
"Scary as the White House is, what’s really horrific is the way the media still works to protect the man and his plan.  The book makes clear that the media hasn’t been treated very well by the White House (no access), and that savvy media members have caught on to the fact that the Obama White House is a dysfunctional place.  They don’t care."
3. So-Called Paycheck Fairness Act Would Allow Government to Second-Guess Private Markets    "Back in 2010, I cited the superb work of Christina Hoff Summers as she explained that we should let markets determine wages rather than giving that power to a bunch of bean-counting bureaucrats."

http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2012/06/hitching-a-new-ride/
4. Sheila Jackson Lee Strikes Again: Refers to Rodney King as a ‘Great Philosopher’
"Now, somebody might say “come on, she was being facetious.” But since this is the same member of Congress who thinks there are still two Vietnams and who onceasked someone at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratories if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong, she hasn’t earned that level of benefit of the doubt."
5. Mother Jones chickenhawks James O’Keefe at Netroots Nation  "James O’Keefe is loathed on the left almost on a par with what Andrew Breitbart experienced.  From ACORN to NPR to voter fraud in 2012, O’Keefe and his camera have caused havoc."
6. Coney Island Principal Bars Kindergartners From Singing “God Bless the USA”  "Greta Hawkins, principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, won’t allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved Lee Greenwood ballad, also known as “Proud to be an American,” at their moving-up ceremony.
"Five classes spent months learning the patriotic song, which skyrocketed in popularity after the 9/11 attacks and the 2003 invasion of Iraq."
7. The Fight to Abolish Slavert Runs Into Islam  "Slavery is sanctioned in Islam. The word for a black person in Arabic is abid, or slave. Makes you scratch your head, doesn't it? Consider how many African Americans convert to Islam. Or worse yet, Arabic is now mandatory in a Harlem public school. More proof of the epic failure of African American leadership."

8. Daniels: Obama 'does not understand' jobs  “He does not understand where wealth and jobs come from,” the Republican governor said on “Fox News Sunday.” “It comes from a successful private sector or not at all … government does not create wealth or income. It just shuffles it around and charges a price, a cost for that service or disservice.”
9. Syrian Rebels Use Mosque Minarets To Order “Infidel” Christians To Leave Or Be Killed…   These are the people we are wanting to defend?
10. Mossad Agents Claim Obama Lying About Stuxnet   "Rather, they say, Israeli intelligence first started developing cyberspace warfare against Iran, only convincing the U.S.--with some difficulty--to join in. The Israelis allege that President Barack Obama claimed credit for Stuxnet to boost his re-election campaign.
11. What Bill Clinton Knows "Clinton always knew that Obama was bound to fail. He understood the megastar illusion of Obama was a haze of press release news stories, wishful thinking and manufactured hysteria that would be no match for the actual challenges of the country. And he also knew that the knee jerk radicalism and arrogance of his opponent and his trusted advisers would leave him hopelessly out of touch with the country in troubled times."

"The Sierra Club ...wages war on all forms of energy production and use. They urged me to join others “at a beach near you" for a kite-flying rally and celebration of New Jersey’s offshore wind potential.
...."Europe which led the charge to build wind and solar power projects as the result of its obsession with carbon dioxide emissions has since discovered that neither can compete with fossil fuel and nuclear power. France is the exception, getting most of its power from nuclear facilities. In England, its citizens are increasingly suffering from “fuel poverty” as the cost of electricity continues to soar thanks to its reliance on wind and solar projects."

HOW TO PRAISE YOUR PREDECESSOR WITH CLASS

Power Line

"I wrote here about President Obama’s remarks during the ceremony in which portraits of George W. and Laura Bush were unveiled at the White House. Unfortunately, Obama found it difficult to offer any praise of Bush that did not refer, usually self-servingly, to himself. And, I wrote, to the very limited extent that Obama managed to offer such praise, “there wasn’t much warmth or charity in it – it fell well short of what Bush was able to say in praise of Bill Clinton under similar circumstances.” "

"At Ricochet, former Bush speechwriter Bill McGurn has performed the service of holding Obama’s remarks about Bush next to Bush’s remarks about Clinton (which McGurn did not write). The contrast is even more striking than I had supposed.
"Here is what Obama said about his immediate predecessor:"....
....
"Never once does Bush crash this party; there’s nary a self-reference. Moreover, Bush’s praise for Clinton is full of warmth. And, though Bush doesn’t praise any of Clinton’s specific policies, he emphasizes that, as a general matter, Clinton worked diligently to bring about a better day for America."  
Tell me again: what was that I read about Obama's "likeability"?

Who has been playing the Race Card lately? "Victicrats", says Larry Elder

Rick Moran: Ex-Sports loudmouth says we're closet racists for not supporting Obama  
"Mike Lupica should have stuck with sports. At least then, his opinionated rants would have been about meaninglerss drivel instead of issues of consequence.

"There is nothing new to ascribing racist attitudes in opposing the president. But how about opining that even his supporters are a bunch of "scummy bigots." "

WND: THE OBAMA RACE CARD  "To liberals in 2008, it was indeed time for a particular black president, and while Obama might not be the most qualified man to ever run for the office, he was qualified because of his agenda. “He’s one of us. He’s a progressive.”

"Many Americans were not only open to the idea, they were enthusiastic about it. Polling data showed that Obama’s race was a huge positive, not a negative."

http://www.tobytoons.com/td/node?page=1

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trayvon Martin Case and the Growing Racial Divide  "The problem with the race establishment is not its acrimony per se, but (a) that the acrimony is frozen in amber around 1960, with no acknowledgment of some 50 years of federal action and three new generations of Americans, and (b) the inordinate time invested in blaming “them” rather than spent on introspection on how to achieve parity with a majority culture in the manner of other minorities’ successes. Or at least that is how I perceive the growing anger at the Sharpton/Jackson/Black Caucus nexus."

Larry Elder: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee -- And the Race Card  " Here's the thing. Obama could easily pick up the phone and tell Democratic Party leaders to drop the victicrat* race card crap. Knock it off. Sadly, he chooses not to do so. After all, the first black president, with his approval ratings in the low 40s, was equally black when his numbers stood at 70 percent.

"Snap out of it, Congresswoman Lee. It isn't the color of his skin -- it is the complete and total rejection of his policies."

*"Victicrat".Great word, Mr. Elder!

Liberal Logic 101

Thomas Sowell: Holder's Chutzpah "Since millions of black Americans -- like millions of white Americans -- are confronted with demands for photo identification at airports, banks and innumerable other institutions, it is a little much to claim that requiring the same thing to vote is denying the right to vote. But Holder's chutzpah is up to the task.
"Attorney General Holder claims that the states' requirement of photo identification for voting, in order to prevent voter fraud, is just a pretext for discriminating against blacks and other minorities. He apparently sees no voter fraud, hears no voter fraud and speaks no voter fraud."
As does Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in her official site.  She calls it "voter purge".

Conservative Black Chick: Tolerant” Dems Think It’s OK to Insult Black Republican Women Because They Aren’t Black like Dems Want Them to Be  "Not a day goes that I’m not bombarded by an arsenal of crude names on twitter or via email because I’m a black Republican and don’t worship Barack Obama or think his being elected the first black president of America is the greatest thing he should be expected to achieve as president. Some of the names include “whore, u wanna be white ass kissing black republicans, and wanna be white oreo.” "

Russell Dweeb said in 2008 if you don't vote for Obama, you're a racist

Election Law Center: Tampa Bay Times and Hyperbole  

noun Rhetoric .

1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.

2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait aneternity.” 

The Tampa Bay Times has an editorial today about Governor Rick Scott of Florida.  It outlandishly compares him to George Wallace, complete with a photo of Wallace at the school house door.  Desperate tactics by desperate folks are unfortunately predictable.  The law of diminishing returns makes charges of racism incrementally less effective, especially when the underlying dispute involves illegally registered voters.  
Accusing someone of being a racist who isn't is the worst sort of false witness.  The Tampa Bay Times should be ashamed.

Obama’s data advantage; far beyond the politics we have seen in the past!

Politico  Via Drudge  "On the sixth floor of a sleek office building here, more than 150 techies are quietly peeling back the layers of your life. They know what you read and where you shop, what kind of work you do and who you count as friends. They also know who your mother voted for in the last election.

This is what Big Brother looks like. Notice the Obama stickers 

"The depth and breadth of the Obama campaign’s 2012 digital operation — from data mining to online organizing — reaches so far beyond anything politics has ever seen, experts maintain, that it could impact the outcome of a close presidential election. It makes the president’s much-heralded 2008 social media juggernaut — which raised half billion dollars and revolutionized politics — look like cavemen with stone tablets."

Obama, the Democrats and Hollywood (Mark Steyn update)

Mark Steyn: Our Celebrity President  "This is all he does now. But hey, unlike those inbred monarchies with their dukes and marquesses and whatnot, at least he gets out among the masses. Why, in a typical week, you’ll find him at a fundraiser at George Clooney’s home in Los Angeles with Barbra Streisand and Salma Hayek. These are people who are in touch with the needs of ordinary Americans because they have played ordinary Americans in several of their movies. And then only four days later the president was in New York for a fundraiser hosted by Ricky Martin, the only man on the planet whose evolution on gayness took longer than Obama’s. It’s true that moneyed celebrities in, say, Pocatello or Tuscaloosa have not been able to tempt the president to hold a lavish fundraiser in Idaho or Alabama, but he does fly over them once in a while. Why, only a week ago, he was on Air Force One accompanied by Jon Bon Jovi en route to a fundraiser called ."Barack on Broadway" (excerpted here):

Still, it becomes increasingly difficult for the Obama campaign to insist that the president is fighting for the little guy against the evil rich when no one is so rich as the company he himself keeps. It's also difficult to criticize one's opponent for running a company that made its investors rich while greasing one's own pockets with filthy lucre similarly acquired. Bumper sticker: "My billionaire's better than your billionaire."

But I digress. So, this is the way it is: if you want a career and a social life in Hollywood, you better espouse liberal causes or keep your mouth shut (assuming it is socially acceptable to get by with that). Remember the "blacklist" of the 50's that Hollywood hated?  This one is more entrenched in the Hollywood culture than that ever was.  TD
There are a few Hollywood conservatives with the courage to "come out of the closet"
"Following is a partial list of confirmed Hollywood conservatives who deserve recognition for their unwavering committiment to the conservative cause (click on their names to see one of the three credible sources I used to determine whether they were, in fact, conservatives worthy of inclusion on the list):"...


Ron Silver's Blacklist in Hollywood is Sign that Political Blackballing Has to Stop
"...Hollywood still turned this actor away with an eerie adamancy reminiscent of the 1950's HUAC that the movie industry has long openly condemned."

Schultz as "Mad Murdock"

Remember Dwight Schultz (Murdock, on the "A Team") "   Schultz recalls attending the auditions for the role of Fiscus in "St. Elsewhere": "...as I headed toward that designated area I passed a small narrow side room in which Bruce Paltrow was seated on a desk chair with wheels; he turned to me, rolled a little in my direction and said, “Dwight! What are you doing here?” This is not a question an actor wants to hear before an audition; not from the show’s producer. I told him I was called in to read for Fiscus and his response was soft and monotonic, “…There’s not going to be a Reagan a--h--- on this show!”"   (Emphasis added)

Disney's Cynical Pro-Obama Ploy  "...If the first lady is correct that cereal and chewing gum commercials are so powerful that "whatever is on TV is what our kids are going to want," what about the TV that's on in between the commercials?

How about the pro-homosexual lifestyle pushed by her husband's financial supporters from "Glee"?"

Fast and Furious still biting DOJ where it hurts

Fast and Furious: Eric Holder’s bizarre House Judiciary testimony  " "How about those wiretap applications, smuggled out of Justice by a whistleblower, which prove beyond question that Holder’s inner circle was well aware of “gun walking” tactics, long before Agent Terry’s death?  Well, according to the Attorney General, that’s all George Bush’s fault." "

Holder Claims Emails Using Words ‘Fast and Furious’ Don’t Refer to Operation Fast and Furious  Oh...all right then.

Holder said "that email referred to Wide Receiver, it did not refer to Fast and Furious. That has to be noted for the record.”

"Chaffetz, after a long pause, said, "No, it doesn't. It says Fast and Furious. 'Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed?' It's specific to Fast and Furious. That is not true, Mr. Attorney General. I'm happy to share it with you." "

Holder Caught in More Lies About Fast and Furious     During a House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder stuck to his guns on Operation Fast and Furious. He lied, denied and acted smug while his posse, Reps. Waters, Lee and Conyers held the race line.
