Mark Steyn: War on women? The real war is on children

Mark Steyn;   "We can’t do anything about exploding rates of childhood obesity, diabetes and heart disease, but, if you define “health care” as forcing a Catholic institution to buy $8 contraception for the scions of wealth and privilege, we’re right on top of it."

"If you think Barbara Boxer's right about Gen. Romney's war on woman, feel free to waste your vote. But what else is likely to happen between now and the next time you cast a presidential ballot? We've rehearsed the fiscal stuff in this space before: China becoming the world's biggest economy, another American downgrade, total U.S. liabilities equivalent to about three times the entire planet's GDP."....

"Meanwhile, the Democrats are so thrilled at the opportunity to pull their discredited "War on Women" meme back out of the mothballs, they're actually restructuring the upcoming Democratic Presidential Convention to feature Fluke and other activist speakers and be a wall-to-wall celebration of abortion. Because in their minds, next to Obama's record on the economy, even killing babies looks good."

Atheist group removes billboards targeting presidential candidates' religious faith

CNN Via WND    "The billboard targeting Mormonism lambasted – and, Mormons would say, distorted– specific Mormon doctrines: "God is a Space Alien, Baptizes Dead People, Big Money, Big Bigotry.”  
"The Mormon billboard featured a man in white underwear, a reference to special Mormon garments."

...."American Atheists said the billboards provoked a “large volume of threats” by phone and e-mail and that the group reported the threats to police."

Well done, Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong Attacks Obama Space Plan  "The first man to walk on the moon blasted President Barack Obama’s decision to cancel NASA’s back-to-the-moon program on Tuesday, saying that the move is “devastating” to America’s space effort.

"Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong’s open letter was also signed by Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon; and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, who is marking the 40th anniversary of his famous lunar non-landing this week. 

Read the text of the letter here.

....It appears that we will have wasted our current $10-plus billion investment in Constellation and, equally importantly, we will have lost the many years required to recreate the equivalent of what we will have discarded. ....

Obama Honors Neil Armstrong as Only Obama Can 

"This is the actual tribute to Neil Armstrong as it appears on President Obama’s Tumblr page that is operated by Organizing for America.

"The touching remembrance of the first human being ever to set foot on the moon of course features a photo of… Obama:"

"Considering the level of humility that Armstrong demonstrated in his life, this speaks hilarious volumes.

"Obama does have a way of inserting himself into history though."

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs writes:    "One tiny narcissistic step for Obama, another giant step backward for American exceptionalism."

Hopenchange  "Just last year, Neil Armstrong looked at what Barack Obama has done to our space program and declared it to be "embarrassing and unacceptable." But he also said "I am hopeful that, in the near future, we will be doing the right thing." 

"He did not live to see that future. But this November, your one small step into the voting booth can be a giant leap in the right direction."

Ron Paul blowing up his bridges

Rick Moran writes in American Thinker:    "But this is just beyond the pale and shows why Ron Paul -- and anyone who agrees with him -- should be kept at arms length by the GOP and frozen out of any positions of responsibility.

At a speech today in the Sun Dome at the University of South Florida ahead of the Republican convention, the Libertarian former Republican presidential candidate said if he had been in charge 9/11 wouldn't have occurred. "Somebody - rather nationally -- said the other day on the Internet 'if those Paul people had been in charge Osama Bin Laden would still be alive.' But you know what I think the answer is? So would the 3000 people killed on 9/11 still be alive!"

...."now like two year olds, they are throwing a tantrum because no one agrees with their far out, loony leader.

"Paul's "liberty" agenda may have its good points, but the man is toxic waste and deserves to be escorted to the wings and given the boot out the door."
Not for nothing is Ron Paul referred to as "the crazy uncle who lives in the attic" and I suspect with him out of the race, many of his supporters will vote for Obama.

What about his son, Rand? Rand Paul Is Already Getting Ready To Run In 2016
"Lane's interest in Rand's Israel positions also underscores the opportunity that the younger Paul has to rewrite parts of the narrative about the Ron Paul movement, specifically regarding national security and foreign policy issues. Although the two Pauls positions are mostly similar, Rand Paul appears to have the political instincts and finesse that his father so endearingly lacks."

Updated: Bob is a RACIST!

Political discourse critical of Obama leads to the illegitimate accusations of racism.

Via American Thinker

Update: GOP's Coded Messages  "In case you were not aware, any mention of Obama’s move to remove work requirements from welfare is raaaacist.  Got it?  No, seriously.  That assertion was made by not one but two people over the last few days."  Neal Boortz.

This post comes from WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA

"The pitiful and pathetic overreach by the left for constantly labeling Republicans and conservatives as being racists without having any evidence of it being so has gotten way past old. It has become a long lasting running joke at this point." 

Now Is The Time To Push Back

Rabbi Aryeh Spero, via CNS News;

   “We can no longer rely on our soldiers overseas to defend us, for, this time, the war is stateside, within, and we must be the civic soldiers in our own battle to preserve what has been our history and way of life.”

...." [Obama], like so many in the left who see themselves as a permanent ruling class, does not like historic Americanism or even vast swaths of the American people themselves. They don’t like who we are and what we stand for. For them, it’s personal."
....it is “unacceptable that a man from outside come to your centuries-old home and tell you what furniture you can keep and what part of your property you must give to him.”

This Tony Branco  cartoon sums it up far better than any words I may come up with. When Pelosi and other Democrats call the GOP "extreme", this is their point of reference. TD

Busted: “Republican” woman in Obama ad has been a registered Democrat since 2006; Update: Another?

Ciano

Hot Air  Maria Ciano who is featured in the web video has been a registered Democrat since October 2006 according to voter registration records.

“People like me and my family have realized that the Republican Party once was inline with our views, but are no longer,” the Colorado resident says in the video.

"Her Facebook page is here; some of her friends congratulate her on appearing in the Obama ad. In addition to the fact that she is a registered Democrat, check out her Facebook “likes.” They make it obvious that Ms. Ciano is a devoted Democrat and a left-wing activist. Here are some of her “likes,” beginning with the earliest in time:

‘Undocumented Youth’ Tell Reporters Harry Reid ‘Is One of Our Biggest Supporters’

Because of the political ambitions of Democrats, America  will soon be unrecognizable as we have known it. Read also the in-depth comment by Brittanicus that follows this post.
CNS News  "The agents claim that President Barack Obama’s directive to allow certain illegal aliens to stay in the country forces them to violate federal law.

"Rafael Lopez, who said he was brought to the U.S. illegally as a child, praised Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for his support of the Dream Act, legislation that has repeatedly failed to get congressional support that would grant amnesty to Lopez and approximately 1.7 million other illegal aliens.
" “Senator Reid, our Senate Majority Leader is one of our biggest supporters for dreamers,” Lopez said.
" “He won in 2010 because of the Latino vote,” Lopez said."

Michelle Malkin; The Reckless Folly of the ‘Undocumented Immigrant’

"Time and again, security experts have warned about how jihadists have exploited lax immigration and ID enforcement. Driver's licenses are gateways into the American mainstream. They allow residents to establish an identity and gain a foothold into their communities. They help you open bank accounts, enter secure facilities, board planes, and do things like drive tractor-trailers carrying hazardous materials."

WND; MEXICANS: SOUTHWEST U.S. IS OURS   " “While most Americans want immigration reduced, most Mexicans think they don’t even need permission to enter our country,” he said. “The poll clearly shows there is less common ground for immigration negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. than the leaders think." This was from 2002; what do you think the poll would say now?
