Flashback: The View Lefty Joy Behar Thinks Term “Black Friday” Might Be A “Little Racist”…

Weasel Zippers

Speaking Truth to Hamas

Andrew G. Bostom  "The remarkably courageous Ramallah-born Mosab Hassan Yousef, the eldest son of Hamas cofounder Sheikh Hassan Yousef and a former Hamas activist himself, served time on several occasions in Israeli prison. Yousef is also known as "the Green Prince," the code name assigned him by the Shin Bet (Israeli security agency), with whom he later collaborated for a decade to thwart numerous terrorist attacks during the second intifada, sparing hundreds of Israeli lives. "

What If Iran Had Had Nukes?  "Imagine this past week with a nuclear-armed Iran watching from the wings. "

"Israel — as its friends and enemies never forget — is a “one-bomb country.” One nuclear weapon is all it would take to wipe out a nation whose territory is smaller than Djibouti, with a population not as large as that of Burundi — fewer than 8 million people, 20 percent of them Arabs who are enjoying rights denied to Arabs (not to mention non-Arab minorities) elsewhere in the Middle East.

"Israel is surrounded by Muslim-majority states with 60 times its population and 650 times its territory. Most of those states refuse even to recognize Israel. Some go further. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatens genocide: “Israel must be burned to the ground and made to disappear from the face of the Earth.” "

American liberals support and defend people like these against an Israel that wants only to live in peace:

• 92 Year Old Palestinian Woman: Palestinians Should Massacre Jews Like We Massacred Them in Hebron.
• Some historical footage of the massacre. 

Liberals: Time To Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

CDN  "The additional cost of providing ObamaCare has gone political, particularly for Papa John’s Pizza. Erin Haust and Matt Vespa and Chris Vaca have written very good CDN articles explaining why the Papa John’s dust up is important to America’s freedom. In another article, Chris Vaca says, “I bring this up because once again they show themselves for what they truly are, hypocrites.” [emphasis mine] While Chris’ article was primarily about information, his observations fit so well that I just had to use it.

"Where are the liberals when it comes time to actually PAY for ObamaCare? This Salon article says that ObamaCare costs will add 10¢ to 14¢ to the cost of each pizza, or from 0.4 percent to 0.7 percent. Forbes’ Caleb Melby points out “that [John] Schnatter’s underlying logic doesn’t make sense when you look at the numbers.” There’s plenty of cost increase analysis, but no offers to pay for the, according to Melby’s analysis, inexpensive ObamaCare costs."....

McCarthy and Krauthammer on Gaza

 Charles Krauthammer;  Why was there war in Gaza?
"In effect, Israel had created the first Palestinian state ever, something never granted by fellow Muslims — neither the Ottoman Turks nor the Egyptians who brutally occupied Gaza for two decades before being driven out by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War.
"Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian entity. After all, the world had incessantly demanded that Israel give up land for peace.
"It gave the land. It got no peace."

Andrew C. McCarthy; We’re already seeing the wages of November 6.

"The day of reckoning is here.

"For over 30 years, the United States government and the institutions that drive public opinion have made like Susan Rice when it comes to the ideological threat that Islamic supremacists pose to freedom, fabricating reasons to remain in denial. Thus inured, the American people have elected, and now reelected, a president notoriously fond of America-bashing Islamists. The attraction would not be hard to understand if we were not so ideology-averse — GOP strategists having made Obama’s radicalism a subject nearly as off-limits as Islamic supremacism, helpfully leaving the Left to fill the canvas with their portrait of Mitt Romney: “Where Gordon Gekko Meets Michael Vick.”

"The president is a movement leftist who sees in our society a condemnable legacy of racism, imperialism, and economic exploitation that cries out for “fundamental change.” That is not meaningfully different from the Islamist perspective of America."

Fracking industry keeps eye on Obama; EPA report could doom future

World Net Daily brings us this article from the Washington Times:  "The drilling process that has brought U.S. energy independence within reach faces renewed scrutiny from the Obama administration and an uncertain future in many states.
"Oil and gas industry leaders remain enthusiastic yet cautious that hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” will be fully embraced by the newly re-elected President Obama and state leaders.
"Fracking is a controversial but highly successful practice that has unlocked massive amounts of fuel. Endorsements from Mr. Obama and state leaders would make fracking the cornerstone of U.S. energy policy for decades to come.
"Industry leaders won’t have to wait long for their first clue to what the future holds."

HuffPost omits Hamas celebrating, justifying bus bombing from source AP story; more

Huff Watch
•...newspapers and blogs that use AP as primary source published top-line stories of Tel Aviv bus bombing that included the Hamas official's praise and justification of this terror act.
•HuffPost's version of the AP story, however, which it did not make a headline, omitted the Hamas official's praise and justification, and falsely claimed Hamas had made no official statement about the incident.
•These are not isolated incidents or "accidents," but rather, are part of HuffPost's continuous pattern of protecting Hamas and effectively doing its PR --- while giving top-line, enduring coverage to stories containing inflammatory accusations against Israel and Jews that it knows (or should know) are untrue. 

Very interesting and enlightening with numerous revealing screen shots.

Reasons for Conservatives to Be Thankful

Heritage  "There are plenty of things to be thankful for this week, and this year as well.
"Yes, after our country’s recent elections, big government remains the rule here in the United States and throughout the West. Yet the language used by the candidates (both talked of reducing federal spending and creating jobs, for example) and the closeness of the race proved that, in the U.S. at least, conservatism remains a powerful force.
"Conservative thinkers present a compelling, principled alternative to liberal ideas. Right-leaning politicians retained control of the House of Representatives, where they’ll control all spending bills and be able to push back against the expansion of government. Conservative governors will run 30 states and can use their offices to thwart federal overreach. Many governors, for example, have already announced they won’t set up Obamacare insurance exchanges, which will save the states money and may doom the entire federal power grab."

Investors.com  "Obama's Southeast Asia Trip All Style, No Substance" 
...."As usual, he served himself politically in what was largely a Potemkin mission abroad.

"It was obvious enough from the rubelike gaffes that the president hasn't been particularly interested or attentive to the affairs of Thailand, Burma or Cambodia as he made his first trip since his re-election. It was pretty much all style over substance.
"In his tour of Burma, billed as an historic first visit since Burma's 2007 move to democracy, it was clear he was in way over his head, even on small things. Obama repeatedly referred to the country's Nobel Peace Prize-winning leader Aung San Suu Kyi as Aung Yan Suu Kyi, an astonishing error given her global fame."

I vote Democrat because....

1. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.
2. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

3. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would...
4. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
5. I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
6. I vote Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
7. I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
8. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.
9. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
10. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
11. I vote Democrat because I think that it's better to pay billions for their oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.
12. I vote Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rear end it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view

Why this guy is thankful at this time of year

Every year the Tunnel Dweller family gets a list like this from their eldest son. Jeff, who reflects over the things he has to be thankful for. Here is his list for 2012:

"I am thankful that police finally caught the so-called “Handsome Guy Bandit”. I got tired of being pulled over due to mistaken identity." Having seen this first item, here is more:

I am thankful that I am so far surviving having a 16-year-old with a learner’s permit. However, if you don’t receive this, you’ll know why.

I am thankful for my master bathroom remodel which will look great when I complete it in 2018.

I am thankful for the numerous species of vegetation that grow freely around my house. Unfortunately it is all growing in the midst of my lawn.

I am thankful for life’s little mysteries that cause you to think: like how do my towels still exist after leaving that much lint in the dryer for the past few years?

I am thankful that if I ever find myself starving in the office I can turn my keyboard upside down and shake out at least two days’ worth of rations. 

Honey Boo Boo



I am thankful that, unlike every other time, the power didn’t go out only two days after we set all the clocks back an hour.

I am thankful Honey Boo Boo is approaching her 15th minute. Come quickly 15.

I am thankful for a well-stocked freezer. Even if that last box the kids forced into it by repeatedly punching it keeps the door from sealing tightly, causing the ice maker to frost up which leads to ice falling out onto the floor the next time the door is opened but it somehow never gets cleaned up which leads to me nearly shoving my knee up through the bottom of my chin as my other foot decides it no longer needs to be supporting my desire to be upright.

I am thankful that we have four more years of a democrat in the White House because, with his Republican blog going strong, it will keep my dad off the streets.

I am thankful that the Texas Rangers won the World Series…wait, what? I have to omit this one again?! Never mind.

I am thankful for delicious vegetables. French fries and onion rings come to mind.

I am thankful for my new jetted bath tub. It gives me one more reason to close the bathroom door and tell the kids I can’t be bothered.

I am thankful that I no longer work at that grocery store that required me to wear a brown, polyester, button-up vest. Brown vest? Get real.

I am thankful for life’s little mysteries that cause you to think: like why would a guy come into the men’s room to blow his nose and decide that a stiff paper towel would be better than a strip of fluffy, gentle toilet paper? If it’s gentle enough for…well, never mind. I’ve said too much already.

I am thankful for foresight: like the foresight Colorado had way back all those years ago when they decided to call themselves the Mile High State, somehow knowing that in the far distant future they would be legalizing marijuana.

I am thankful that I live in a house filled with laughter…except when the TV is tuned to a Disney Channel sit”com”. The Grapes of Wrath was funnier.

I am thankful for life’s little mysteries that cause you to think: like how come when there’s a 50% chance of getting something wrong you will get it wrong 90% of the time?

I am thankful that 75% of Dallas residents don’t wear cowboy hats as Hollywood seems to think we do. If I see a guy in Dallas wearing a cowboy hat I just assume he is a tourist who thinks he is required to buy a cowboy hat, some actor here filming a scene or some guy who wandered over here from Fort Worth.

I am thankful summer temperatures are finally behind us so I only have to change my socks every five days instead of every three.

I am thankful for free translation websites. Now if I could just find one that translates that goofy Brad Pitt Chanel commercial.

I am thankful for fine wines and cheeses. More specifically, Gatorade and a bag of Cheetos.

I am thankful for real American heroes, like Batman (played by a British actor), Spiderman (played by a British actor) and the upcoming Superman (played by a British actor).

I am thankful that, after scraping and tiling a floor that past few weekends, I have no currently scheduled appointments to have my knees photographed.

I am thankful for the extra money I earned as Thor’s stunt double. Oops, did I say Thor? I meant Paul Blart.

I am thankful for life’s little mysteries that cause you to think: like what does the inside of my nose smell like?

I am thankful for irony: like “Lincoln” doing well in a theater.

Crazy uncle



I am thankful that I have never camped in a tent in front of a store. I would feel safer camping in grizzly infested woods that somewhere in the city ahead of a pack of anxious shoppers who want a new large screen TV even more than I do.

I am thankful that I can prove in a court of law that I was doing these lame thank you lists long before Jimmy Fallon was doing his “Thank You Notes” which are now making him millions. So far I’ve made nothing- hint hint.

I am thankful for getting together with family on Thanksgiving…well, except for that one crazy uncle. Although, when I think about, I just might be that crazy uncle.

Alan Caruba; "Memories of Thanksgiving's Past"

Warning Signs  "This Thanksgiving Day I will dine alone. I will think about what I have to give thanks for—my health, the fact that I have seen 75 Thanksgiving Days come and go, a life with few regrets—but my day will be a sad one, not for myself, but for my nation.

"I have always been an optimistic person, but that optimism has been drained by four years of Obama’s regime and the prospect of four more. It is compounded by a Congress that has steadily marched toward turning America into a European socialist economy now on the brink of financial collapse and, worse, by a nation that has abandoned many of the values and shared beliefs that made it great; a beacon of freedom for those who chose to come here, a superpower following World War II, a compassionate and largely tolerant nation.
"I mark its long decline from the 1960s when the sons and daughters of a generation that had worked hard and followed the rules thought it was cool not to believe “anyone over thirty”, and, in 1967, adopted Timothy Leary’s drug-induced advice to “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” He was speaking at a “Human Be-in” gathering of 30,000 “hippies” in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park."....

Here, let the president help you
