Obama losing the hobo vote

Legal Insurrection   "Spray painted on the side of a railroad car isn’t the same as a bumper sticker, but that also can explain the rather less than witty expression of opinion."

Israel vs. Iran and America

From The Patriot Factor;  Netanyahu gets it...Obama does not
"Netanyahu began by answering, in carefully chosen words, Ahmadinejad’s comment that Israel has no roots in the region.  He said, with a calculatedly reserved passion, that “3000 years ago, King David reigned over our eternal Capital of Jerusalem...the Jewish people have come home…we will never be uprooted again!”
"NEVER AGAIN...never ever again will the Jewish people be thrown out of their homeland...a homeland given to them by God.  My words but I’m sure the thoughts of this great man."  
.... "Six weeks or so to go and then Israel will once again have a friend in the White House; a friend who will stand by her...who will fight alongside her if need be; a friend who understands that the bond between America and Israel will NOT be severed no matter how the traitor in the White House wants it to be...
..."a friend by the name of Mitt Romney.
"Yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu showed the world what a true leader of men looks like...on November 6th ‘We the People’ will show him and Israel that we got it right this time."  Diane Sori.   Hat tip to Rick Bulow, Chicago

Will the World Heed Netanyahu’s Warning?  "But, as the UN’s own investigative body, the International Atomic Energy Agency has reported, the progress made in the last year makes the advances Netanyahu discussed quite realistic."  

The prophet Ezekiel spoke of God's regathering Jews back to the land He had given to them:   And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. Ezekiel 34:13

As did the prophet Jeremiah:   However, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors. (Jeremiah 16)

Because God had promised the land to Israel back in the days of Genesis:  The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

And Israel will come back from the nations to stay:  ...."When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, my holiness will be displayed to the nations. Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God - responsible for sending them away to exile and responsible for bringing them home. I will leave none of my people behind. And I will never again turn my back on them, for I will pour out my Spirit upon them, says the Sovereign Lord." Ezekiel 39:25-29 

Report: U.S. Troops In Afghanistan Told No More Close Air Support…

Michael Yon  via Weasel Zippers   "... I don’t think that the American citizens would be happy if they knew that their soldiers were being prohibited from defending themselves in any way because of politically driven orders, but that is precisely what is happening in this war right now even as I write this letter. The soldiers of the U.S. never engage the enemy unless we know that we have will always have the tactical advantage in defending ourselves, that advantage is the use of close air support and air weapons team. To take those weapons away from us is to level the playing field for the enemy and thus exposing our soldiers to more danger(Emphasis in the original)
....The very presence of aircraft over our foot patrols has also saved lives and now our chain of command is being told by our political leadership that this is now not allowed. 
....we can’t drop a bomb on the enemy that we have positively identified, than what the hell are we doing here?   Hat tip to Christy Waters, Georgia.

From Let them fight or bring them home!   "Our political establishment has lost its way or maybe the American population has lost its moral compass and have consciously chosen men of unscrupulous character and such a deplorable lack of courage to represent them. In either case the affect is the same on our War Fighters."

It's Bush's fault and I killed bin Laden

Oh, goody: Get excited for this major motion picture about fracking

Hot Air Hopefully, the video below will help offset some of the anti-fracking propaganda, some of which is included at the link.
 "Because I’m just so wildly fond of celebrities using their pop-cultural platforms to ‘educate’ others on complex economic and environmental issues that they don’t actually understand at all, you can probably guess just how excited I am about this little gem of intellectual dishonesty, courtesy of Matt Damon and our enlightened Brahmin in Tinseltown, due to hit theaters this December. Hint: Promised Landbasically looks like the brazenly deceitful Gasland “documentary,” remade into a fictional storyline."
...."While overwhelming evidence suggests that hydraulic fracturing is in fact reviving small-town America, why is it that no celebrity has stepped up to make a major movie about the environmentalists’ conservation movement impoverishing rural Americans and forcing private individuals off of their land?" 

Fracking Dangers, Real and Overblown  "Basically, I went into this story, early last year, assuming that it would be easy to show that hydraulic fracturing, or blasting open rock deep underground, directly threatens drinking water supplies. But what I learned in my reporting is that while this may not be impossible–and while more research needs to be performed to determine how likely it is–it doesn’t appear to be the largest concern."

Why one is skeptical of Hollywood-backed scares; there is a proven track record giving us good reasons.

Why “Stop! Don’t Eat That!” Often Isn’t Good Advice

The biggest unfounded health scares of 2010   "We do this each New Year’s Eve by making a list of the top unfounded health scares of the outgoing year. "

Facts Versus Fears a Review of Unfounded Health Scares of 1997  Includes DDT, Red Dye #2, Cell phones, the link between coffee and cancer, among many others.

Liberal mental health laws, not guns, cause these tragedies

The coming presidential debates

The Narrative Has Already Been Written  "If Obama stumbles in his first debate against Romney, the ObamaMedia will be doing what they can to justify his lackluster performance by reminding the audience that Obama didn’t have adequate time to prepare, considering the tremendous duties associated with being the Commander-in-Chief. 
"Mitt Romney on the other hand, he doesn’t have to bear the burden of being the president.  He’s a fulltime candidate.  So anything less than perfect will reflect poorly on him.  And let’s face it; if the ObamaMedia is the judge, there is no chance of Romney ever coming out of these debates looking good, let alone perfect."  Neal Boortz
Political Cartoons by Nate Beeler

Victor Davis HansonCan Romney appear as an upbeat Reagan to Obama’s petulant Carter?   "What does 1980 tell us about 2012? Barack Obama, like Carter, can run neither on his dismal four-year stewardship of the economy nor on his collapsing Middle East policy.

Instead, Obama, as Carter did, must stamp his opponent as too inexperienced, too out of touch, and too uncaring to be president. While Carter was a dull speaker and Obama, in contrast, possesses teleprompter eloquence, there is no evidence that Obama is any better a debater than was Carter."

L. A. Times is laying the groundwork to explain a bad Obama performance in the contest.  "As far as Parsons is concerned, Obama is at a disadvantage for the up coming debates because he is busy being president and has less time for debate practice than Romney."   Well, this is the paper of choice for TV actors, Oscar/ Emmy/Grammy award winners and an unnamed corpulent movie director. 

Busy Obama Campaigning In Virginia Today

White House Dossier  "President Obama, who has failed to make room in his schedule to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu or any other world leader during this week’s opening of the UN General Assembly, will be campaigning today in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 
Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Netanyahu, whose country may soon be going to war with Iran, will meet with Secretary of State Clinton instead. Others who have found room in their schedule to meet with Netanyahu are Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper – who recently threw all of Iran’s diplomats out of his country – and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.  
"The White House, which has been under fire for ducking Netanyahu, has not ruled out a meeting, and may in the end bow to pressure to schedule one. Netanyahu is in the United States until Saturday night.
"Netanyahu could easily make the quick hop to Washington from New York. And Obama has demonstrated an ability to take a spontaneous trip to New York, having used Air Force One to escort his wife there for a date in 2009."  (Emphasis added for snarkiness)


OBAMA SKIPS MEETINGS WITH WORLD LEADERS, TALKS FOOTBALL WITH IOWA PAPER

More Proof That Liberals Hate Free Speech

American Glob  "As if you needed any. Does free speech include the right to spray paint over messages you don’t like?
"MSNBC and CNN “journalist” Mona Eltahawy thinks so.
Eltahawy, a former Reuters correspondent, has been a recent favorite of CNN and MSNBC’s weekend morning shows to discuss Egypt, and she often smears together the Islamist “right wing” and the American right wing, as she did on Melissa Harris-Perry just 11 days ago [video and transcript below]:
Mona Eltahawy called a "freedom fighter"

American Thinker: The actual jihad savagery is far worse than conveyed in the ad's comparatively staid language, Mona Eltahawy's raging denial notwithstanding.

Why Mona Eltahawy became a vandal, defaced AFDI pro-freedom ad   "Why would a renowned and respected journalist resort to a juvenile act of vandalism and persist even when confronted? Here's a clue: reading this ABC News report on the arrest, these lines leapt out at me:
"This is non-violent protest, see this America" Eltahawy said in the video as police officers were arresting her. "I'm an Egyptian-American and I refuse hate."
"... now she will be lionized as a hero and martyr by the very people who were shunning her for her Foreign Policy piece: the hate-filled Leftist totalitarians who despise free speech anyway.
"Mona Eltahawy could have been a journalist of integrity, and almost was, for a brief moment. Instead, she is a fascist brownshirt."

But Obama is, like, sooooo cool

How could any other cartoon sum up so cogently the nature of pro-Obama voters?

LIBERALS CAN’T BREAK 200-YEAR RACISM HABIT

Ann Coulter  "Democrats spent the first century of this country’s existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.

"After fighting the Civil War to continue enslaving black people and then subjecting newly freed black Americans to vicious, humiliating Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan violence, Democrats set about frantically rewriting their own ugly history."
...."You will never see anything so brave as a liberal fighting nonexistent enemies.  
"Liberals drove the entire country crazy with their endless battles against imaginary racists, to make up for their having been AWOL during the real fight over civil rights." (Emphasis mine, TD)
...."My new book, out this week, “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama,” reminds us that nothing good has ever come of Americans capitulating to liberals’ racial bullying, especially not for black people. Never. Don’t make the same mistake again, America."
Talking with Ann Coulter; Racism Dead If Not for Media
"I've long had a theory that the best thing that ever happened to America, ...was the OJ verdict because multiple millions of people watched that verdict being read, and then they watched law students at Howard University and at McDonald's and in stores around the country erupt in cheers for the acquittal of an obviously guilty black celebrity. And that was when white people in America said, “That's it – the white guilt bank has shut down."
Then, Coulter said, along came Obama and America found it was a Jim Crow society all over again, in spite of what your lyin' eyes tell you.
Coulter discusses Chris Matthew's racialist demagoguery in her book  
While living cheek-by-jowl with the nation’s capital, which happens to be a majority black city, Matthews’s kids managed to go to schools that are probably about 3 percent black. When Matthews had an opportunity to associate with blacks by sending his children to public schools, he chose not to. His obsession with race is all about self-congratulation.

Bakery says no to Joe!

Crumb and Get It - No To Joe (August, 2012) "A small business owner refused to do a photo op with Vice President Joe Biden. Why? Because Chris McMurray works hard at building his own business and disagrees with statements made by President Obama that he didn't do it on his own, statements supported by Joe Biden. It's people like Chris and his wife Kelly that make America great!"    Hat tip to Walt Stier; Santa Maria, CA 

The "Crumb and Get It"website
Hot Air covered the story.  Legend has it that the Secret Service agents agreed with the owner and came back to buy more because of that. TW tried to verify that but could not and that part seems questionable. But it isn't needed to make this a great story and to honor this small businessman, whom one lib site calls a "wingnut". TD is happy to share this title with him if I may.
This is Biden’s own security team; the White House knows who they are, and they’re surely in no mood for new political headaches from the Service after the “unpleasantness” in Colombia.. Seems hard to believe the agents would tempt fate by gladhanding an Obama critic in that environment. High risk, little reward. But I don’t know, anything’s possible.
Townhall; Diss: Small Business Owner Rejects Biden Visit, Cites "You Didn't Build That"  "Yesterday, we saw photos of a fearless pro-Romney caterer at an Obama campaign event in Iowa.Today, we've been introduced to his courageous counterpart, a baker in Virginia.  I sincerely hope these gentlemen have their taxes in order for the inevitable IRS audits:"
