Rand Paul’s shaky world view

I found this while trying to size up Sen. Paul and his qualifications as a national leader. I fear his father's "be nice to the Iranians and they will be nice to us" foreign policy, and suspect the acorn yada, yada, yada.
Anyway, let's add this to our body of knowledge on the man before considering Rand Paul as a President.

Jennifer Rubin "Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is supposedly the titular head of the isolationist wing of the Republican Party. He has, among other things, suggested that containing a nuclear-armed Iran would be feasible, that we need fewer bases and overseas troops, that we should cut foreign aid and that we should not have intervened or remained in Iraq."
....
"But here’s the rub: His philosophical bent is not consistent with discrete policies he says he wants to pursue, which just happen to be near and dear to the hearts of Christian conservatives who turn out heavily in the GOP presidential primary and caucus contests."

The Wheelchair Rebellion: Pulling the Trigger on Revolution, Calling Down the Swarm

Grumpy Opinions  ...."But the revolution is real. It has started, or rather, shall I say, it has moved past words. It is now on the ground. And a wheelchair shall lead them."

...."Instead, but again, almost in character, for craven meanness, spite and malice, and faux-badassness, Obama has exceeded even my expectations, enough so, that I have to believe the president (or his advisers) are trying to incite violence, real street violence. Is violence, not pain, their end game? Instead of hearing “Ouch”, do they want to hear gunfire?
"What are they thinking? Your guess is as good as mine, but the president is not trying a bluff here. If it’s a bluff, it’s already been called. The vets-in-wheelchairs took care of that at the WWII Memorial.
"Obama doesn’t seem to be daring the American people to rise up. He’s seems to be inviting them to."

ObamaCare is a Gigantic Shell Game

 

Galen Institute   "Obamacare is a gigantic shell game. Americans were promised that the Affordable Care Act would lower health costs by $2,500 a year for the average family, provide coverage for tens of millions more Americans, and do all of this while reducing the federal budget deficit. It would be accomplished through 2,800 pages of legislation, tens of thousands of pages of regulatory directives and an interlocking network of new federal mandates. Many Americans were skeptical that this unprecedented effort at government re-engineering could succeed. Their skepticism is justified."

UPDATED: Holy war in Harlem: Pastors want Al Sharpton out

UPDATE: Brother of Crown Heights Riot Victim Slams Sharpton Advertisers  "Rosenbaum lashed out at the media and politicians who have legitimized Sharpton. “That is an absolute disgrace, regardless of who it is: business, media, or politician,” said Rosenbaum. “Now he’s the expert on race relations? He’s the expert on nothing, he’s set race relations back decades. What’s he ever done for anybody? Really, by substance, what has he ever done? For MSNBC to be employing him is a sad reflection on them.' ”
Emphasis added, TD


Sign the petition to tell race-baiter Sharpton's advertisers to stop supporting his MSNBC program. For whatever good this will do.

Then start by calling Mondelez International, the owner of Ritz Crackers, at (855)535-5648. Tweet them @RitzCrackers with hashtag #SharptonsCrackers. Tell them they shouldn’t be signing checks to those who divide America to line their own pockets.

"Speak Out Say It Loud, headquartered at Mount Neboh Baptist Church  on Adam Clayton Powell Blvd., is a new coalition of black ministers determined to create a unified African-American power base with citywide clout.
Mount Neboh pastor Johnnie Green, 51, said Sharpton has neglected black New York while pursuing national fame and acclaim.
“While (Sharpton) is jet-setting around the country, people are going to our churches saying they don’t have money to eat,” the Dallas native said. “People need somebody to fight for them.' ”  More here.

Let's hope that time will not turn these men into Al Sharpton clones.

Urban legend: Obama Tells Vets No Memorial, Opens Muslim Museum

MORE FAKE NEWS: Obama Uses Own Money to Open Muslim Museum

Urban legends  "Direct quote from NationalReport.net:

Washington, DC -- While up to 800,000 federal workers faced life without a paycheck as Day Two of the government shutdown kicked in, President Barack Obama held a press conference to announce that he is using his own money to open the federally funded International Museum of Muslim Cultures.

"Before anyone's blood pressure rises, please note that no such press conference actually took place. The story is a spoof.

"For some reason people persist in thinking that NationalReport.net publishes actual news. It doesn't. It's a satirical site, somewhat like The Onion but a lot more political and a lot less funny."

...."It's still a relatively easy matter to demonstrate that the intent of the website is satirical, however. Just check some of the other articles written by the author of the above story, Paul Horner:

Progressives Want to Send Innocent People to Jail…to Set an Example?

Heritage  "Should society throw people into jail who admittedly did nothing blameworthy just to set an example for others? That is exactly what the Center for Progressive Reform has suggested doing in a recent report on the Occupational Safety and Health Act."....

...."Under this doctrine, a corporate officer is personally criminally liable for the actions of his or her employees, regardless of whether the corporate officer knew or should have known of the criminal conduct."....

..."The responsible corporate officer doctrine turns the job of a corporate officer into a gamble. Corporate officers have to bet their freedom that employees will perform their duties lawfully in an environment of thousands of regulations. A loss on that bet could land them in prison. There are ways to promote workplace safety without throwing blameless men and women in prison. Rather than expanding the use of the responsible corporate officer doctrine, justice requires that it should be done away with.."

Dear President Obama: Fire somebody and show that you are in charge

American Thinker  "By any executive 101 standard, President Obama is failing and failing big:
1) Hold your subordinates responsible; and,
2) Make adjustments.
"Speaking of accountability, let's start with Secretary Sebelius.  Why does this lady still have a job, especially after her hilarious appearance with John Stewart?
"Let's look at Secretary Sebelius's performance, as Tom Bevan posted:"

'It was one of the most degrading things I've ever done': Miley Cyrus' back-up dancer reveals she was left 'shaking and crying' after controversial VMA performance

UK Daily Mail   "Whether she was stripping to her underwear or twerking with giant teddy bears, Miley Cyrus left many in shock after her performance at the VMA's in August.
"But it seems no one was more shocked than one of her very own back-up dancers.
"Los Angeles-based performer Hollis Jane, who refers to herself as a little person, revealed on her blog: 'I was a bear in Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance and. . . for the first time I felt truly ashamed of being a little person."

'When I did the VMAs. . . we were being used simply

because we were little,' she said. 'It felt like society

still saw us as a joke, despite the fact there is 

nothing different about me other than the fact

 I am small'

From The Vault: No-Go-Tiations

Hope n' Change  "Here's the Hope n' Change cartoon and commentary exactly as it appeared on July 13, 2011.  Sadly, the reference to Barry threatening to withhold Social Security checks is as timely today as it was over two years ago..."
"There's a time-honored saying that "When the going gets tough, the tough threaten defenseless little old people." Mind you, it's only a time-honored saying in the Democratic party, but it's still as true - and despicable - today as it ever was.

"In his effort to blackmail Republicans into agreeing to potentially job-killing tax hikes on businesses and investors, Barack Obama has announced that he may choose to not send out Social Security checks to senior citizens on August 3rd, sneering "there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.' "

Millions of elderly people like this are afraid of losing their Social

Security checks and...no, wait. This is just Obama's taxpayer-supported

 Aunt Zeituni who is watching her soap operas. She'll be fine.
