The Death Panel
NFL Champ Skips White House Visit Over Obama’s Support For Planned Parenthood…
Weasel Zippers
"“I have great respect for the office of the Presidency but about five or six weeks ago, our president made a comment in a speech and he said, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood,’” Birk, a former Minnesota Viking, told a local Minnesota sports blog. “I’m very confused by [Obama's] statement,” he explained. “”For God to bless a place where they’re ending 330,000 lives a year? I just chose not to attend.”
"Kirk said he’s a pro-life Roman Catholic. “Planned Parenthood performs about 330,000 abortions a year,” he said. “I couldn’t endorse that in any way.”"

Obama’s Scandals Reveal The Failure Of American Media
American Glob "If you’ve been disappointed in American media for the last several years, you’re not alone. Liberals have dominated the media for a long time but in the age of Obama they’ve functioned as an additional arm of the white house.
"There are a few exceptions, FOX News, Jake Tapper, Sharyl Attkisson, and of course conservative new media but the MSM has repeatedly turned a blind eye and given the Obama administration the benefit of the doubt while demonizing anyone who presents a challenge or threat to the president.
"Today at Breitbart, John Nolte has written an outstanding analysis of the situation. I’ll offer an excerpt below…"

"With each new scandal that emerges, a growing number of Americans think the government is out of control. Just remember that they were allowed to get that way by a media which cares more about Obama and his party than you."

'These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc'
Rick Moran "June 6, 1984. On the 40th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, President Ronald Reagan stood on the very spot where a single battalion of Army Rangers scaled a bluff under fire in order to silence guns that were harrassing troops landing on Omaha Beach.
"It was a magnificent feat of arms and Reagan, in one of the greatest American political speeches of all time, canonized those Rangers and drew a larger lesson from their sacrifices.

"Reagan's speech encapsulated that valor and courage and will be remembered as long as we remember D-Day."

Obama and the "Official Truth"
Caroline Glick
"Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has been sitting in a US federal prison in Texas since his photographed midnight arrest by half a dozen deputy sheriffs at his home in California for violating the terms of his parole. As many reporters have noted, the parole violation in question would not generally lead to anything more than a court hearing.
"But in Nakoula's case, it led to a year in a federal penitentiary. Because he wasn't really arrested for violating the terms of his parole.
"Nakoula was arrested for producing an anti- Islam film that the Obama administration was falsely blaming for the al-Qaida assault on the US Consulate in Benghazi...."
Too bad those Hollywood types who like to say they are Bradley Manning won't publicly say "I am Nakoula Basseley Nakoula".
IS END OF WORLD NEAR? NYT Editorial:Obama Admin. Lost All Credibility On Transparency & Accountability
Yid With Lid
"The [NY Times] editor went on to attack the reaction of the White House which was basically "trust us."
Hat tip to Jeffrey DunetzThe senior administration official quoted in The Times said the executive branch internally reviews surveillance programs to ensure that they “comply with the Constitution and laws of the United States and appropriately protect privacy and civil liberties.”
That’s no longer good enough. Mr. Obama clearly had no intention of revealing this eavesdropping, just as he would not have acknowledged the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, had it not been reported in the press. Even then, it took him more than a year and a half to acknowledge the killing, and he is still keeping secret the protocol by which he makes such decisions.
..... It is the very sort of thing against which Mr. Obama once railed, when he said in 2007 that the Bush administration’s surveillance policy “puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide.”
The Real Danger of Liberal Bias: It's That the Powerful Keep Winning and the Weak Keep Losing
This story must have legs because Rush Limbaugh and Conservative Bloggers on Facebook both promoted it today.
RedState I’m going to tell you what media bias is really all about. It’s about a dying, 10 year-old girl and a sexagenarian, politically connected trial lawyer. It’s about official malfeasance treated as human error when a Democrat is President. It’s about power and systemic corruption that is unremarkable to people offended that George W. Bush didn’t call his advisers liars to their face.
....
"Liberal media bias is about small people crushed under a leviathan while the great and the good ride high on its back. It is about small stories that add up to a giant, sickening picture being systematically ignored. It is about the failure of people who think the First Amendment was crafted for their personal use not bothering to exercise it.
"Someone’s baby girl will either die because she didn’t give to Democrats; or won’t, because she was the rare one whose father worked the system to shame the powerful.
"How many others of the weak will suffer while the powerful who gave to the ruling party prosper? And will we ever hear about it?"

Bashir: ‘IRS’ Is The New N-Word In The ‘War Against The Black Man In The White House’
"Bashir scolded a variety of Republican commentators who he said “laid the groundwork” for Mitt Romney to make a “racist comment” in 2012 when he joked that no one ever needed to ask for his birth certificate."
Army Punishes Soldier who Served Chick-fil-A
"Crews said the soldier decided to hold a party to celebrate his new position. The invitations read, “In honor of my promotion and in honor of the Defense of Marriage Act, I’m serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at my promotion party.”
"After the party, the solider received a letter of reprimand. Crews said at issue was the combination of the sandwiches and the soldier’s support of DOMA (which happens to be the law of the land)."
Fry this man, then free Bradley Manning!
‘Not Fit To Lead’: GOP Rep. Rails Against Obama’s ‘Vengefulness And Lack Of Moral Compass’
"Bridenstine began with specific criticisms, many aimed at the current scandals involving the IRS and the Justice Department — as well as a nod to other controversies, such as Benghazi. In addition to Obama and Biden, he called out Attorney General Eric Holder and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius."
On Samantha Power's appointment by Obama
Samantha Power, Obama's pick as America's Ambassador to the UN, will fit right in "Power writes of her willingness to impose solutions on the Israelis and Palestinians and that she would be willing to:
Loyalty Rewarded: Susan Rice and Samantha Power "Power has what one might call a western European sensibility and attitude toward the U.S. That outlook is hardly limited to Europe, of course; it’s one that is also rampant among most of the American left. What’s more, it seems to be shared by Obama himself — although for political reasons he has rarely articulated it quite as fully and clearly as Power — the conviction that the U.S. has blood on its hands and that we, like the Germans after WWII, must go on bended knee in order to achieve a similar catharsis."
Samantha Power, hater of Israel "If you want to take money away from Israel and give it to Palestinians, whose charter (whether Fatah or Hamas) calls for the destruction of Israel, you clearly are anti-Israel.
"But Power didn’t just argue for a massive shift in resources from Israel to Palestinian interests. She also favored American military intervention to create a Palestinian state:"....

"alienat[e] a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing...billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel's military, but actually investing in the state of Palestine."...."Ms. Power also derided concerns about Iran's nuclear weapons program in a Time magazine column, stating that it was a figment of the imagination conjured up and promoted by George Bush to gin up pressure on Iran . She counseled, what else, outreach and engagement not further pressure. She will be great at the United Nations: great for Iran, great for Hezb'llah, great for Hamas."

The Power Doctrine
In 2003, Power advocated "instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa" as U.S. foreign policy. Keith Urbahn tweet

Benghazi… New Source Claims Ambassador Stevens Died From Lethal Injection
DC Clothesline "In a shocking claim, Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, who has been identified by U.S. officials as a known weapons expert for al-Qaeda, said in a recent online posting that U.S. AmbassadorChris Stevens was killed by lethal injection after a botched plan to kidnap him in Benghazi failed on September 11, 2012.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:Read more...
“…according to the March 14 posting on an al Qaeda-linked website, Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, the al Qaeda weapons expert, stated that Stevens was given a lethal injection and that the injection was overlooked during the medical autopsy.
According to Dhu-al-Bajadin, “the plan was based on abduction and exchange of high-level prisoners.”
“However, the operation took another turn, for a reason God only knows, when one of the members of the jihadist cell improvised and followed Plan B,” he wrote on the prominent jihadist web forum Ansar al-Mujahideen Network.
