Romney Considering Pro-Choice Architect of Bush Foreign Policy for VP

CNS  "Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has put former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “near the top of the list” of his potential running mates, the Drudge Report revealed Thursday evening.

"Rice favors legalized abortion--calling herself "mildly pro-choice"--and was a leading architect of President George W. Bush’s foreign policy, which aimed, as Bush put it in his second inaugural address, at “ending tyranny in our world.”

"Rice served as national security adviser in Bush’s first term and as secretary of state in his second."

More on this this evening if the story progresses. I just have too many doubts right now about her since she is too closely affected by the left's hatred of George Bush.

Alan Caruba; "Executive Tyranny"; If this doesn't make you want to vote Obama out of office, please do not have children

Warning Signs  "A study, “Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism”, commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security identified the following characteristics of potential “terrorists.”

# Americans who believe their “way of life” is under attack;
# Americans who are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)”;
# People who consider themselves “anti-global” (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty, opposed to the United Nations, etc.);
# Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”;
# Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty”;
# People who “believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

Arguments Do Not Have Testicles

Mike Adams  "Recently, a student asked me whether I had a right to speak out on abortion given that I am a man and could never experience pregnancy. I countered by asking him whether arguments have testicles. The question drew laughter from other students who were listening to the exchange. But my point was serious and worth addressing at length.
"The idea that men are ineligible to speak out on abortion has at least six flaws, each of which should be understood and articulated by men who desire to speak on the issue. Those argumentative flaws follow in no particular order of importance:"....

....

"Liberals are constantly trying to reduce the marketplace of ideas by reducing the number of voices that are eligible to participate. They have already silenced 52 million voices with the blade of a sharp knife. We cannot let them do further damage with dull ideas. Sharpening arguments requires vigorous debate. And vigorous debate requires acceptance of the idea that arguments are not gendered. Neither is the right to speak on matters of profound moral consequence."

Romney speaks at the NAACP

Thomas Lifson: Mitt gets a standing ovation at the NAACP   "Mitt may be finding his campaign persona, bit by bit. Fortitude is not a bad quality. People respect it. 
"Update: The mainstream media has chosen to focus on the boos, and downplay if not ignore the standing ovation. Let them! They are in denial, and cannot put a cofferdam around momentum. Mitt went into the Lion's den and emerged with a standing ovation. He knows it, we know it, and the NAACP knows it."


Allahpundit gives us excerpts of quotes from numerous sources. Via Hot Air. The opinions run the gamut from Romney being a race-baiting scoundrel to being a courageous crusader.


Conservative Black Chick: Romney Woos NAACP with Passion and Conviction  "Other than getting booed when he talked of repealing Obamacare, which was unnecessarily provocative and he shouldn’t have mentioned it, Romney hit a home run with the NAACP speech. He was at ease, genuine and aggressive in a way I’ve never seen him before. Romney didn’t do anything magical. He simply took the Republican message to black voters and curiously didn’t use the word Republican once. This will go a long way in earning Romney respect from black liberals."

Why Obama and NAACP hate Romney’s education plan   "Yesterday, during his speech at the annual NAACP National Conference in Houston, Gov. Mitt Romney surprised everyone with his novel approach to education funding, which not only makes ‘good walking around sense’ but, also drew concerted agreement from one of the primary ‘constituents’ of the conferees–poor, urban black students."


Mitt Romney Draws Cheers and a Boo at the NAACP Convention  "Mitt Romney’s speech played surprisingly well with today’s audience, and may have helped him shed his unfortunate image as a panderer. It certainly raises an interesting question. Given Mitt Romney’s courage to address an audience he could expect to be hostile to his message, when will President Barack Obama show similar courage and clearly explain and defend his policies before, say, a school choice coalition convention or the Conference of Catholic Bishops?"

Soledad O'Brien Inquires If Romney Intended to Be Booed by NAACP

"While O'Brien popped the question but made no accusations, MSNBC hosts Lawrence O'Donnell and Toure championed this conspiratorial claim, including O'Donnell alleging that Romney wanted to appeal to racists. 

"Later in the interview, O'Brien sniffed around some Romney post-speech remarks and asked more questions about his underlying motives, suggesting a racial intent."

Another leftist Obamanation: Obama Ends Welfare Reform As We Know It

National Review Online  "This afternoon, President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an official policy directive undermining the welfare reform law of 1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that have been the foundation of that law — one of the most successful domestic policy reforms in the 20th century."
....In the past, state bureaucrats have attempted to define activities such as hula dancing, attending Weight Watchers, and bed rest as “work.” Welfare reform instituted work standards to block these dodges. Now that the Obama administration has abolished those standards, we can expect “work” in the TANF program to mean anything but work.

‘Add Welfare Reform to List of Laws Obama Refuses to Follow’  "Last year, the RSC introduced the Welfare Reform Act of 2011 to build upon the 1996 law including requiring able-bodied adult beneficiaries of food stamps to work or prepare for a job and full disclosure of welfare spending.

"“By waiving the law’s requirements, President Obama will make it harder for Americans to escape poverty. He is hurting the very people he claims to help,” Jordan added of today’s move."

Get this man out of office before he does more damage to this nation at home and abroad!

Obama skips the NAACP convention

http://terrellaftermath.com/

CNN: Obama camp cites 'scheduling conflict' for NAACP convention no-show  Just as Obama requested, CNN had his back and covered for him with this: "While the president's schedule appeared to be wide open for Thursday–raising questions as to why his campaign cited "scheduling conflicts"–CNN confirmed Thursday morning that Obama and his wife, Michelle, are sitting down for an interview with CBS News. 

"The president also holds his daily briefing with senior aides and advisers."

Feds Encourage Food Stamps: Helps Local Economies, 'Everyone Wins'

The Weekly Standard  Via Infidel Bloggers
"And another USDA food stamps document,  ironically titled "Building a Healthy America: A Profile of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program," suggests that despite some people not wanting to participate in the program due to "a sense that benefits are not needed," more people should change their mind--and sign up for the social welfare program."  Below:SNAP-QA

What I Miss About America

"What do you miss?"  By Stella Paul

Another Urban Legend: Invitation Facebook Virus

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CONTACTS!

In the coming days, you should be aware.....Do not open any message with an attachment called: Invitation FACEBOOK , regardless of who sent it.

It is a virus that opens an OlympIc torch that burns the whole hard disc C of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone you had in your address book. That's why you should send this message to all your contacts. It is better to receive this email 25 times than to receive the virus and open it..

 This came in our mail today, so naturally I researched it. These always seem to come with a link to Snopes saying they claim the report is true. I checked the link in the letter and it refers us to a completely different virus that was true*, but not so the email they quote:

If you receive an email called: Invitation FACEBOOK, though sent by a friend, do not open it and delete it immediately. It is the worst virus announced by CNN.
 A new virus has been discovered recently that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.
It is a Trojan Horse that asks you to install an adobe flash plug-in. Once you install it, it's all over. And there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information of their function is saved.
SNOPES SAYS THIS IS TRUE
*http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/facebook.asp

Snopes calls it a hoax, but their site will not permit cutting and pasting their text.


TruthorFiction reports:

The Truth:  Update 09/22/11: A new version of this warning has begun circulating about the popular network site Facebook saying that the Invitation will burn the whole hard disc on computer C: drives.
Update 04/05/10: A new version of this fictitious virus warning is back in circulation saying not to open any attachment called "Black in the White House."   This virus warning, which originally began circulating at the opening of the 2006 Winter Olympics in February, is a hoax.  There is no such virus.
One of the clues that the eRumor is a hoax is that it borrows language from another classic virus hoax.  The reference to CNN, the description that Microsoft has classified it as "the most destructive virus ever," the contention that it was discovered "yesterday" by McAfee, and the reference to the "Zero Sector" of the hard disc are all wording borrowed from a classic Internet virus hoax about "A Card for You."updated 09/22/11

So these are old, but they keep going around in a modified form as you can see in the above text, which came in my mailbox today. TD

Obama in denial

 Michael Gerson  "One would think, given so much practice, that the Obama White House would have been better prepared for last week’s wretched jobs report.  

"Instead, we witnessed the five stages of bad public relations. Delusion: It was a “step in the right direction.” Dismissiveness: Don’t “read too much into any one monthly report.” Grudging acceptance: “It’s still tough out there.” Cliche: “There are no quick fixes.” Self-pity: “I suspect that most people in Cincinnati would acknowledge that I’ve tried real hard.” "

Fast and Furious Is Not a D.C. Law Firm

Ann Coulter  "Most Americans don't care about whether Attorney General Eric Holder is hiding Fast and Furious documents because they don't understand the story.

"Until someone can tell us otherwise, there is only one explanation for why President Obama's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gave thousands of guns to Mexican drug dealers: It put guns in their hands to strengthen liberals' argument for gun control."

...."It would be as if the Bush administration had implemented a covert operation to dump a dangerous abortifacient in Planned Parenthood clinics, resulting in hundreds of women dying -- just to give pro-lifers an argument about how dangerous abortion clinics are."
