Boortz says, "...but then we are dealing with ObamaBots here, so I’m not expecting much in the way of brains.

Neal Boortz  "Somewhere on the campaign trail, Obama supporters are apparently handing out a flyer where they have summed up Obama’s four major accomplishments."....

"I mean, what can you say to that one, folks?  This is all these ObamaBots have.  Obama had nothing to do with the killing of Osama bin Laden other than finally (after three attempts) giving the Navy SEALs the OK to do their mission, which they began planning well before Obama even took office."

What Role Will White Guilt Play in the 2012 Election?  "Every week's news brings a new report detailing the climb in the national poverty level, an increased reliance on food stamps, and growing unemployment statistics particularly among urban blacks, as the recession's negative impact on them mounts -- with no end in sight."    Also here,  and here.

Discussions on tonight's debate

Heritage; Cultural questions deserve debate  "The first presidential debate of the fall gave Americans good insight into the candidates' perspectives on domestic issues, including the economy, health care and the role of government. But we heard hardly anything about the effect of such policies on our culture. That's a serious omission."
...."Civil society would provide the self-government that made a limited central government possible, ensuring Americans' freedom. That's why it's important to take stock of how Washington's policies are shaping the work ethic and the health of civil society. Here are just two questions that would help shed light on these topics in the upcoming debates::....

Companion article from Heritage; 5 Issues That Haven’t Come Up in the Debates  "...there are key questions still to be answered. Heritage experts submitted five issues below—with questions—that it is important to discuss before the debate moves on to foreign policy exclusively.
 Join us tonight at 9 p.m. ET—you can watch the debate live on our Debate 2012 page. We’ll have the live stream of the debate and a live blog of our experts’ analysis, and you can follow our tweets and chime in.

MSNBC teaches us how biased debate moderators do it. I'm sure this question got Brian Williams lots of praise in liberal social gatherings and in Hollywood.

Six Pitfalls in Town Hall Style Debate  Seven, if you count democrat-favoring moderators.

Did Hillary Clinton Setup Obama for Tonight’s Debate?  If Obama wins the election, what big price will he have to pay the Clintons for their extensive help? Here is a reasonable guess:
"Did Obama make a deal with her? If she took the blame and if he wins, Joe Biden will step down as vice president and he’ll pick Hillary, setting her up as the logical choice for President in 2016."  Standing by her man once more?   
7 More Simple Things Mitt Should Say (but only if he wants to win)   "In a word, Mitt has momentum.  The beauty of momentum is - unless disturbed by an outside force - it builds.  So Mitt needs to first and foremost not be the force that disturbs his existing momentum.  Better yet, he needs to add to his momentum.  Continuing with the earlier theme of "keep It Simple Stupid" - KISS - here are 10 more things Mitt should do or say in his next debate performance."

3 AM and Hillary picks up the phone

To strike or not to strike?

Obama, Benghazi, and the Blame Game  Obama blames Republicans for their spending priorities, but what about this Democrat choice? "As was pointed out in the hearings, obviously the State Department has their priorities a little out of order, since they’re spending huge sums of money on electric cars in Europe, while neglecting to provide needed security personnel in the Middle East and North Africa."

Hillary Apologizes for Benghazi, But Where’s Obama?   "This is nothing short of disastrous for President Obama. After dodging responsibility for the Benghazi attack for over a month, pointing fingers at everything from the State Department to the intelligence community, the White House is outclassed by…Hillary Clinton. By taking the blame now, Hillary effectively 1.) Undermined Obama’s leadership, 2.) Put pressure on him right before a major debate to take the heat:"...  

Hillary's Price   "Rest assured that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton isn't taking a fall over the Benghazi debacle for President Obama without exacting a price -- a steep price.  It's not Bill's or Hill's way to give from the heart.  Like the devil, the Clintons expect their due, and gosh darn it, they're going to get it -- one way or another."
Rush just said that Hillary accepted responsibility, but did not take blame.

WaPo from Oct 8th: State Dept officials deny linking attack to anti-Islam video, raising questions

Remember back in 1996 that William Safire called Hillary Clinton a "congenital liar".
"The reaction that is of interest to language students centered on the meaning of congenital. An op-ed colleague called to ask: "Did you mean inherited? Shouldn't you have used habitual?" A White House spokesman also picked up this literal interpretation of the adjective, and Mrs. Clinton later chose to escalate the charge in a National Public Radio interview: "My mother took some offense, because being called a congenital liar seems to reflect badly on her and my late father." "

What’s a Christian business owner supposed to do?

World Magazine  "I’ve always thought—in a theoretical way—that I might someday face a situation where the government was asking or telling me to do something that was counter to God’s law as I understood it. If such a situation arose, I hoped I would have the backbone to stand tall and disobey the government mandate. Well, that day seems to have come."
....
After citing the passage Jeremiah 1:4-5, the author concludes:
"How’s that for biblical confirmation that the unborn baby is important in the eyes of God! After reading that passage, I felt confirmed in my responsibility to stand up against a government that is trampling on my religious liberty. May God be merciful to all of us."

Update; The above leads to a general discussion of the state of Christianity in America today: 
One Nation, Under God?
"The role of religion in American social and political life is an ever-present element in our civic conversation. The recent controversy over the contraception mandate ignited a smoldering conflict over just this issue."
....

Under his heading titled The Rise of Bad Religion, Thornton posits, "Another popular and lucrative heresy is the “prosperity gospel.” The credo of the “pray and grow rich,” Douthat writes, is “God gives without demanding, forgives without threatening to judge, and hands out His rewards in this life rather than the next.” In the doctrine of preachers like Joel Osteen, Jesus “seems less like a savior than like a college buddy with good stock tips, which are more or less guaranteed to pay off for any Christian bold enough to act on them.” "

Did We Watch The Same VP Debate? Lets examine the points Biden made.

Conservative Daily News  
"Unbiased Martha Raddatz – She was, after the debate, criticized for interrupting [Paul Ryan] 31 times – that’s in addition to the 82 timesBiden interrupted Ryan. So, it seems that both Raddatz and Biden tried to “marginalize Ryan,” to “show … contempt for Ryan….”"Biden backed up his smiling contempt with strong words” – unfortunately, his “strong words” weren’t founded on facts, something I don’t say without cause:"
By Warren Beatty (not the liberal actor).

Gotta love old Uncle Joe

NRO Editorial; Biden’s Private Reality "Joe Biden’s career of intellectual dishonesty is one step short of the Aristotelian ideal: It has a beginning...and a middle (his later campaign-trail plagiarism), but his performance in the recent debate suggests that it is without end. From misrepresenting Paul Ryan’s legislative record to telling bald-faced lies about his own, the vice president offered a master class in the art of deception." Be sure to check out the links in this post.

Uncle Joe, How Close is the Obama Administration with Israel?  "In the vice-presidential debate, Joe Biden indicated the administration had close ties with Israeli prime Minister Netanyahu. The video below which features Netanyahu calls that claim into question."

Lastly, there's something else Biden should know about Catholic doctrine  "The Church teaches-and this was reaffirmed by the Pope several years ago-that politicians who publicly support abortion automatically excommunicate themselves.  

"If I have chutzpah for saying that, then we have something in common, Mr. Biden. The difference is that I place mine in the service of Truth."

Obama and Biden were winning—until they faced actual opponents

....All Romney and Ryan "needed to do was show independent and undecided voters who they are, demonstrate that they are not so scary after all, and emphasize the administration’s lackluster record. Which is what they did.

Obama and Biden should know better. Spend all your time boxing shadows, and there’s a decent chance that, when faced with a real opponent, you will be knocked out."

More "Progressive" Kindness and Civility

More reason to vote Romney; we will not be intimidated by the left!
New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election; Buzz explodes across web
"The new threats continue to dominate Twitter and the vast majority make no reference to press coverage of the issue over the last week, illustrating the fact that they are a legitimate expression of how many Obama voters plan to respond if Romney comes out on top, and not merely a reaction to media hype."

There were others much more profane that we took out. These should be enough for you to get the picture.

I have seen little signs of class in Barack Obama and would be surprised if he worked to stifle the anger and bigotry in his followers.  Electing Obama did not do none thing to heal  the racial wounds in America; it has only left us more torn apart than ever.

Who are the racists now?

Obama vs Libya Benghazi attack: Chris Wallace explodes at David Axelrod  (Video)
"Sunday, during a FOX News panel with Chris Wallace, Bob Woodard(sic), of Watergate fame, inferred that mainstream media risked being guilty by omission in what may be a White House political cover-up of "Benghazi-gate." Chris Wallace agreed. In fact, he was so incensed by what appears to be a White House effort to keep Americans in the dark about Libya, that he finally exploded at Obama campaign senior advisor, David Axelrod.
....."Before the interview concluded, Wallace's eyes narrowed and he held up his hands to stop Axelrod in his verbal tracks. In steely tones of contempt, Wallace demanded:

"Wait, wait, wait a minute! David, wait a minute. This is the first U.S. ambassador that has been killed since 1979. Susan Rice came on this show, and five others, and gave the American people a story that turned out not to be true; and you're saying that we shouldn't discuss this! That we should wait for the investigation to be completed? That's what you just said."

.... "Wallace appears to be frustrated and incredulous that serious questions are being obstructed with word play."

Thought the VP debate moderator was bad? Crowley intends to go farther

Conservative Daily News  "Town hall debates are supposed to be led by audience members, but Ms. Crowley has announced that she will be pushing the candidates as she sees fit. In a series of interviews on CNN, Crowley has stated that after the basis of the question has been set, she intends to say things like, “Hey, wait a second, what about x,y,z?” "
....
"The audience members are picked by Gallup from a field of likely voters. The intent is to give ordinary voting Americans the chance to ask questions that they feel are important. Having a moderator change the tone or direction of the questions minimizes the importance of the voter and raises the influence of the moderator."

Forbes: Pants On Fire: Obama Scrambles For Cover As Benghazi Lie Explodes

"One of the most ironic and inexcusable aspects of the fatal Benghazi tragedy is that Ambassador Stevens, who after recognizing and communicating the special 9/11 security threat, was denied protection he requested. Yet remarkably, Vice President Joe Biden claimed during last Thursday’s debate that the administration was unaware of security requests. ....  But if so, why wouldn’t the president, vice president and secretary of state have been be briefed?"

...."For example, we might recall the Fort Hood, Texas massacre when Major Nidal Hasan screaming “Allahu Akbar” opened fire on a room full of Army soldiers on November 5, 2009 was dismissed by Obama as a random act of “one individual”. It was formally classified by his administration as a case of “workplace violence” rather than a terrorist act."

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama finally provide
a Marine guard to our Ambassador and compatriots.

Obama Libya story changes subtly  "Were the Obamaites worried that someone at the White House–e.g. Tom Donilon– might have been told? And that someone–Hillary?–might have proof? … Are they not worried now? "

American Jewry's cherished values

Caroline Glick;  "Decades ago, the sociographer Milton Himmelfarb coined the aphorism that "American Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans." And his words ring as true today as ever. Surveys show that roughly 70 percent of American Jews intend to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama's reelection next month."
.... Glick's lengthy, informative article ends with this closing paragraph:
"The most disturbing aspect of the surveys of American Jewish voters is not that they are willing to vote for the most hostile US president Israel has ever experienced in order to remain true to their party. The most disturbing aspect of the American Jewish community's devotion to Obama and the Democrats is that it indicates that the vast majority of American Jews have abandoned their faculties for independent thought and judgment in favor of conformism and slavish partisanship. They have rendered themselves unreachable."

OBAMA'S #SAVAGE COVER-UP OF AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST AMERICA: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI

Atlas Shrugs   "Despite the lies and blame-game of the Obama administration, we finally have an accurate account of what really happened during the jihadist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, from two two senior State Department officials. 

"It was, without question,  a full-out military attack on the US.

"The Obama administration knew from the start that this was a very well-organized jihadist attack. Blaming our freedoms, our first amendment rights for the jihadist attack, was a second attack on the American people (perhaps even more frightening) perpetuated by the Obama administration.

"The transcript is frightening and deeply disturbing. The Obama administration is at war with the American people, and Americans are dying because of it. This is surely impeachable. Romney ought to be shouting this from the mountain tops."

"The State Department has released a transcript of a briefing that two high-ranking department officials gave to a number of reporters via conference call on October 9." 

You should read it in its entirety; it is the most detailed description I have seen of the events in Benghazi on September 11.

While this is by no means clear, it appears that the State Department may have released the transcript as part of the escalating conflict between Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. In their desperation to avoid responsibility for the Benghazi debacle, Obama and Biden have pointed fingers in two directions: at the intelligence community for reporting incorrectly that the incident was a protest over a YouTube video clip, and at the State Department for not providing adequate security for the Ambassador.

Transcript from 9 October:  Background Conference Call With Senior State Department Officials....     ...."Barack Obama, meanwhile, was jetting off to Las Vegas for a fundraiser.  "It was obvious to the reporters on the call that this narrative blows Obama’s evasions sky high:"

Hat tip for this link to Christy Waters at Conservative Bloggers on Facebook

Here's Bob Woodward, today on "Fox News Sunday," talking about the what the Obama administration has said about the Benghazi attacks: (Emphasis in the original)

"Well, why are you trying to normalize your security in a situation that's visibly unstable? You even acknowledge that."So you've got a bad policy. And anyone looking at that would say, wait a minute; we are screwed up; we can't normalize here."So that's the first problem. The second problem is, as soon as an ambassador is killed, the president should be more proactive and be out there. "

Ann Althouse adds: "Amazing that Obama was doing this on "Letterman" and "The View" — the day after the attack!"
