Did Chris Matthews' Epiphany Send A Chill Up Obama's Leg?

Forbes...." “Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.”

"Allen and VanderHei observe that“Obama’s aloof mien and holier-than-thou rhetoric have left him with little reservoir of good will, even among Democrats…This White House’s instinctive petulance, arrogance and defensiveness have all worked to insulate Obama at a time when he most needs a support system.”

"Dana Milbank wrote a Washington Post piece titled “Obama, the uninterested president” which opened saying: “President Passerby needs to become a participant in his presidency. Last Monday came the breathtaking news of a full-frontal assault on the First Amendment by his administration; word that the Justice Department had gone on a fishing expedition through months of phone records of Associated Press reporters.” "

Why You Should Care That The U.S. Government Has Targeted Catherine Engelbrecht And Her Organizations

Forbes ...."Second, the time and cost burdens imposed by responses to excessive and inappropriate IRS questions should be regarded as inexcusable. Add to this the resulting penalties upon fund-raising activities necessary to support charter functions caused by intentional and ongoing registration delays.

"Third, it is totally unacceptable to witness individuals and organizations that are exercising legal rights and patriotic responsibilities investigated by our government for doing so. It is chilling to learn that agents of the all-powerful IRS are assaulting citizens and organizations on the basis of political administrative agendas."

A Lesbian Couple Walks into a Muslim Bakery...

 American Thinker  "One might ask whether this lesbian couple have gone to the halal market to order meat for their wedding party and inquire about getting that wedding cake with two bride figures on top.

"Still, the question exists for other gays across the U.S., angry at this Christian-owned bakery practicing its First Amendment rights: why haven't other gays and lesbians wanting a wedding cake walked into Muslim-owned bakeries and attempted to place an order?  Why are all the big, brave activists who find it easy to send the Kleins in Oregon insulting and menacing e-mails all of a sudden "champions of religious freedom and diversity" when it comes to Muslim-owned bakeries across the country?  The obvious answer is that such a request would lead to an argument, if not a physical confrontation."

MSNBC Rewrites History: Chris Matthews Calls GOP The Party Of Jefferson Davis

American Glob  "No wonder MSNBC’s ratings are in the toilet. They lie.
Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee recently switched from independent to Democrat, delighting leftists everywhere.
He claims the moderates have been driven from the GOP. Have you noticed that absolutely no one in politics or media ever talks about the lack of moderates in the Democratic Party?
"For more background on that, read William Jacobson.
"Video via Andrew Johnson of National Review." 

 

At National Review Online: Matthews: GOP the Party of Jefferson Davis "Davis was a Democratic senator from Mississippi before becoming the president of the Confederate States of America."

News Analysis from China: Unanswered questions surround White House scandals

Xinhua   "Some critics charged the White House with attempting to avoid embarrassment in the lead-up to the 2012 presidential elections in a bid to continue its narrative that terrorism was on the wane after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.
"Critics are calling for the administration to release the name of the individual who told Rice to provide the talking points.
"Republican Strategist Ford O'Connell told Xinhua that the IRS scandal is the most damaging to the White House of all the controversies, as many Americans are distrustful of the powerful agency that has the power to tax, levy financial penalties and prosecute individuals for allegedly breaking tax laws."

Benghazi Terrorists: 'Dr. Morsi Sent Us'

Middle East Forum  "The terrorist attack in Benghazi is far more disturbing than previously thought. Although it has not been reported in the U.S. media, the possibility exists that the Egyptian government may have played an operational role in the attack. YouTube videos of the terrorist strike raise a serious problem that only an Arabic speaker would detect: some of the terrorists are speaking in the Egyptian dialect of the Arabic language.
Indeed, one of the videos shot with a cell phone of one of the attackers emerged around the time four Americans were killed. It shows a mob Mahadesh, mahadesh yermi, Dr. Morsi ba'atna" — which translates to: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, Dr. Morsi sent us."
approaching the American compound under siege, clearly telling the terrorists in the dialect of Upper Egypt: "

"The words "Mahadesh yermi" for "don't shoot" are characteristically spoken in Egyptian Arabic, while Libyans from Benghazi would say, "Matermey" for "don't shoot."
""Dr. Morsi" refers, of course, to president Mohamed Morsi of Egypt. The name Morsi is Egyptian and does not exist in any other Arabic speaking country."...

Just Stop Being Offended.

Logicology  " Now, this may seem impossible to some of you... and I understand that it might be difficult, but I assure you, it is both possible and necessary if you no longer wish to have your mental and emotional well-being constantly compromised by other people whose words and actions are beyond your control.

"What's more, I've found over the years that some people are not just offended by things intended to be offensive, but instead, seem to be looking for reasons to take offense to anything and everything that anybody does.

"For example... Just today, one of my favorite Facebook friends posted a Salon article about the supposed homophobia present in Disney movies: "Why are there no gay Disney characters?"

"And sure... There aren't any gay Disney "princesses", and no sweeping same-sex love-affairs in their whole universe really. Perhaps that's a tragedy... But I actually have far too many other (and I think actually much more substantive) criticisms of most of the messages contained in Disney movies to spend a ton of time on why there aren't any overtly gay characters...."

A frightful look into the mind of a Democrat

Found on Facebook
"To Understand(sp) the mind of this woman be sure to read the whole 'letter to the editor', including her definition of a natural born citizen! From the Carteret County News-Times (Editor's note: The following Letter to the Editor, published in the Jan. 23 edition, has gone viral on the Web after a reader linked it to a Fox News Facebook page. It had received more than 4,000 comments and been shared more than 12,000 times by Tuesday morning. We have now discovered something with less intelligence than a moon rock. I am now dumber for having read it. When you're done, Share it. Cause no one deserves to suffer thru this libidiocy alone."

This thinking has third-world banana republic written all over it.

If That’s the Case for Holder Lying Under Oath, It’s Not Just Weak — It’s Bordering on Silly

Help me mull this over, will you?

Volokh Conspiracy  "The [Privacy Protection Act] prohibits the government from conducting a search or seizure of a reporter’s property unless there is probable cause that the reporter was involved in the crime. As it applies to investigations of national security leaks, the PPA requires the government to make the case that there was probable cause Rosen was involved in the offense before it can obtain a warrant.

"Importantly, the PPA doesn’t require the government to actually be considering prosecuting the reporter. It only requires the government to establish probable cause that the reporter’s conduct was prohibited by Congress’s law. So, again, there is nothing inconsistent between Holder concluding that there was probable cause to believe Rosen committed a crime and Holder testifying that he has never “been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy” to bring a criminal prosecution against a reporter.
In the comment threads to Jonathan’s post, some commenters argued that you can read Holder’s testimony as saying that there was not a “potential” for prosecution against Rosen. If the affidavit stated the basis for probable cause that Rosen committed a crime, they argue, isn’t there “a potential” that Rosen could be prosecuted, at least in a certain sense, thus making a possible case for perjury? This argument misrepresents what Holder said. "

‘Stupid Bible-Thumping…B**ch’: Bakery That Refused to Make Gay Couple’s Wedding Cake Speaks Out Amid Threats, Economic Woes

The Blaze  "In February, Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, an Oregon-based bakery, found themselves at the center of a media firestorm after refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple’s ceremony. Nearly four months later, the small business continues to receive threatening and harassing phone calls and e-mails, as they grapple with the ongoing fall-out from their controversial decision. This week, they spoke with TheBlaze about the ongoing drama."

....

"This prospect, of course, is entirely possible, as the bakery is struggling following the cake debacle.

"It’s unclear what will happen next, as the lesbian couple is reportedly still considering its legal options. Regardless of what the government decides, though, Aaron says that he and his wife will stick by their convictions and that their religious freedom is protected under both Oregon and federal constitutions.

"“I can say I don’t want to take part in something that violates my religious beliefs. If they want to shut me down because of it, then they could shut me down,” he told TheBlaze."
How progressive.

Report: Obama Regime To Blame For Jailing Of Hero Pakistani Doctor Who Helped U.S. Kill Bin Laden…

Weasel Zippers introduces this Fox News piece thus: "This guy is rotting away in some Pakistani s--thole jail thanks to the big mouths in the White House while Obama runs around taking credit for killing Bin Laden. Sickening. 

Here is the Fox News report.

It was the Obama administration that sealed the fate of the Pakistani doctor jailed for helping nail Usama Bin Laden, by divulging key details after the fact and dooming any chance Shakil Afridi's cover story could win his freedom, according to a confidential Pakistani report..... 

“The lesson from the Afridi episode is, if it suits the political purpose of the Obama administration, you’ll be exposed and placed in jeopardy,” said Thomas Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.
