Military warned 'evangelicals' No. 1 threat; Christians targeted ahead of Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaida, KKK
Look out! He's carrying an offering plate!
World Net Daily "A slide titled “Religious Extremism” lists multiple organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaida, Hamas, the Nation of Islam, the Ku Klux Klan and the Christian Identity movement as examples of extremist groups.
"However, the first group on the list is evangelical Christianity. Catholicism and ultra-orthodox Judaism are also on the list of religious extremist organizations."
....
"Crews said it is astounding that soldiers were taught that a key foundation of the Christian faith is now considered extreme and compared to those who want to implement Shariah law." But I thought Sharia was now cool.
Ah HA! Are they singing "Glorious things of thee are spoken" or is that the German national anthem, "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles"?

It was just between Democrats. Nothing to see here folks; keep moving. It's not as if it was said by a Republican
Obama Apologizes to Calif. AG for Comment on Looks
"Carney said Obama did not want the reference to her appearance to “diminish the attorney general’s accomplishments and her capabilities,” noting Obama said he believed Harris has done “great work” and is “dedicated and tough.”
"Carney sought to make the comment appear a little less controversial by noting that Obama and Harris are old and good friends, suggesting it was kind of joshing between people who know each other well."
Obama Excited by California’s Attorney General
Along the same lines, do you remember Obama calling this reporter "Sweetie"?

Obama Excited by California’s Attorney General
Obama gave a shout-out to Rep. Mike Honda and to state Attorney General Kamala Harris, noting a couple of times that she is, objectively, easy on the eyes. “She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough… She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general…. It’s true! C’mon.” The crowd laughed.Governor Palin got the Obama treatment as you may recall from 2008

After Obama; Republican or Democrat, our next president will be a budget hawk.
Victor Davis Hanson
"Barack Obama is a landmark figure: young, charismatic, seemingly post-national, and supposedly post-racial. For those reasons alone, he enjoys a level of unshakeable political support not predicated on the actual record of his tenure as president (just as most remember fondly that he won the Nobel Prize but don’t quite know what he did to earn it).
"Obama’s economic record will be dispassionately acknowledged to be similar to that of Jimmy Carter. But, unlike Carter, Obama will remain a mythical figure in liberal circles.
"To borrow a line from a classic Western, “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” And so we will do just that."

Pedophilia Is A Sexual Orientation Under CA Bill?
"Under the bill’s language, a mental health counselor could be sanctioned if there was an attempt to get a pedophile or gay individual to change his behavior or speak negatively about their behavior as it relates to sexuality.
The bill calls on states to prohibit efforts to change a minor’s sexual orientation, even if the minor requests it, saying that doing so is “dangerous and harmful.” "
....
“This language is so broad and vague, it arguably could include all forms of sexual orientation, including pedophilia,”....“It’s not just the orientation that is protected—the conduct associated with the orientation is protected as well.”
....
"It also means that, if pedophilia is a sexual orientation, that discrimination laws also apply to pedophiles. That means you cannot block a pedophile from being a preschool teacher or any other high-risk occupation."
....
"We don’t put pedophiles in prison to make them stop being pedophiles; we put them there because they threaten the safety of the most vulnerable people in a society."
This article fears the report may be stretching things a bit, but the report has many in the gay community concerned:
Gay Community Outraged: Pedophilia Is A Sexual Orientation Under CA Bill
As a man, first – I am appalled. As a gay man looking at this, all I see is another effort to associate good people with bad. It is my hope that the gay community (whoever we are) steps forward and calls this for what it is. Knight ShiftMore on this woman's efforts in other areas:
Speier also wants to tax internet sales I see a big check to her from Amazon in the future. More on that subject here:
Congresswoman Jackie Speier of [Pelosi's region] has announced that she, along with “a bipartisan group of Senators and Representatives and two small business owners” will have a press conference Thursday afternoon to talk about the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013.Every time liberals propose "fairness" we become less free.

Congresswoman Speier Uses Personal Tragedy to Promote Child Murder
We might cry with her on her loss but we won’t be fooled into continuing to fund the murder of unborn children at the hands of America’s largest baby killing organization.There is an illustration in here that may trouble you. You've been warned.
How Long Will Obama Continue the Diplomatic Charade with Iran?
Jonathan S. Tobin "Acting on behalf of the United States and its allies, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton had offered Iran the possibility of easing up on sanctions if only they would demonstrate that they were telling the truth about not working to build a nuclear weapon. But despite these high hopes and the certain knowledge that the West was willing to compromise about letting them keep some of their nuclear toys, the Iranians showed up today offering Ashton and company nothing."
Meanwhile, we show weakness by approaching them with a deal. What have we learned from History?
That we are obtuse.
“You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.”

Wait, does this mean tax cuts help employment, and tax increases hurt it?

From American Interest; Jobs Report? What Jobs Report? Hey Look, Gay Marriage!
We are, however, thrilled that we don’t have a Republican in the White House, because if we did, the press would be incessantly yammering about this bad news until we were all sick of it. As it is, they are likely to say as little as possible about what appears to be a massive failure of economic policy and go back to covering the really important issues, like gay marriage.
If a Republican president got very busy on social issues at a time of economic stagnation and disappointment, there would be earnest hand-wringing of the “What’s Wrong with Kansas” variety about how American rubes were being diverted from their true economic interests by the skillful manipulation of emotionally charged social issues and identity politics. This would be taken as a sign of the cynicism of the ruling party and the clueless credulity of the hypnotized voters.
Fortunately, we aren’t going to have to listen to any of that depressing rhetoric now. Social issues are good and important; economic questions like jobs and incomes and growth are a distraction from the real business of the people.

Got this from my cousin in Oregon:
I was in Ft. Myers,
Florida recently, and I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: "I
miss Chicago."
"So, I broke out a window, stole the radio, shot out two of the tires, added an Obama bumper sticker and left a note that read, "I hope this helps!"

Essay: Political Correctness and the decline of our culture
Our Civilization "Political Correctness (PC) is the communal tyranny that erupted in the 1980s. It was a spontaneous declaration that particular ideas, expressions and behaviour, which were then legal, should be forbidden by law, and people who transgressed should be punished. (see Newspeak) It started with a few voices but grew in popularity until it became unwritten and written law within the community. With those who were publicly declared as being not politically correct becoming the object of persecution by the mob, if not prosecution by the state." Read this entire essay here.
The author finishes with this:
Unless plain speaking is allowed, clear thinking is denied. There can be no good reason for denying freedom of expression, there is no case to rebut, only the empty slogans of people inspired by selfishness and unrestrained by morality. The proponents of this nonsense neither understand the implications of what they say, nor why they are saying it: they are insane; which must mean that any community that embraces Political Correctness has discarded sanity.From The Decline Of Ideas

What if we had left Saddam Hussein in power?
The Foreign Policy Initiative; Freeing Iraq From Saddam Hussein's Dictatorship Was Worth It ...."Certainly, the U.S.-led coalition and the Iraqis paid a high price to liberate
the country. But it is likely that the cost of allowing Saddam Hussein to remain
in power would have been far greater over the long-term.
.... "Saddam likely would have reconstituted Iraq's weapons programs and re-emerged
as a regional menace—just as the Iranians and North Koreans have in his wake.
Indeed, the example of their nuclear programs reinforces the imperative of
preventing rogue regimes from obtaining weapons of mass destruction."
But he did have sympathy from our left. American leftists never met a murderous dictator they didn't adore if he hated America.
....
"As U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair said before the war began, "Ridding the world of Saddam would be an act of humanity. It is leaving him there that is in truth inhumane." "
Below: Sigh...if only. But now our foreign policy advisors are Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers.
