The Obama Afghanistan Policy

Forget Congress; Mr. Obama will run this nation all by himself.

 

Obama promises more dictatorial action in 2014   '“But one of the things that I’ll be emphasizing in this meeting is the fact that we are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone," he added.
Translation: Obama is set to use his executive authority to bypass Congress -- again."

Dan Pfeiffer: 'President Obama is ready to use every executive action available'    "White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer sent an e-mail early Tuesday to preview President Obama's plan to use his executive power in ways Americans have never seen before."  Lucianne

You’ve Been Warned   ... "unfettered by having to face the electorate again, a second Obama term would be a nightmare for the country — four years of unencumbered mischief in the Oval Office while the criminal organization masquerading as a political party gets on with the serious business of picking its next candidate to ensure that eight years of “fundamental change” are irreversible:" ... Lucianne

Rush Limbaugh: Dictator Obama: I'll Use Executive Orders to Make This Lousy, Unjust Country Fair 

... " He's gonna make this lousy country finally fair! Never mind he's been running it for five years.  Never mind the fact that his entire economic policy has undermined the old saw about work hard and you can make it. Because not only can you not work hard, you can't work. " ...

 

Alan Caruba: Blueprint for Tyranny  "There are lots of Americans who, after the first five years of living under the governance of Barack Hussein Obama, have concluded that, among his most notable characteristics, he is an incompetent, a pathological liar, a Marxist, and, fearful as the prospect is, a potential dictator who will not leave office when a new President is due to be sworn in.

Chris Matthews, check out this left-wing bigotry!

Weasel Zippers  "If she married a white reporter from MSNBC or CNN you can be sure the “progressive” left wouldn’t be barraging her with racist insults."

 

From Mediaite

 "Sister Sister star Tamera Mowry tearfully told Oprah Winfrey’s network that her marriage to Fox News correspondent Adam Housely had earned her scores of racially-tinged abuse on Twitter and elsewhere."

 

Adam Housley  ... "In April 2013, he secured an exclusive interview with a Special Operations whistle-blower who felt the government betrayed the four men who died in the Benghazi attacks on September 11th. Previously, he covered the 2012 wildfires in Waldo Canyon, Colorado, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and reported in both English and Spanish during the Chilean Miners rescue in 2010. While at FNC, he has covered several hurricanes, including Katrina and Rita. " ...

Hillary's Hit List

Politico Reports That Hillary Has A Hit List, Shocking No One
"Remember the 2008 Democratic primary, when Obama was at the top of the list?"

First this one: Report: Hillary Clinton Has Secret “Hit List” of Those Who Have Crossed Her…

 

Followed by this one: Democrats On Hillary Clinton’s “Hit List” Beg For Forgiveness…
 "Democrats atop a political “hit list” of politicians who betrayed Hillary Clinton in 2008 are trying to get back in her good graces as she weighs a 2016 comeback.
"Clinton campaign aides kept a detailed list of lawmakers who supported Barack Obama in the Democratic primary, according to excerpts from the forthcoming book HRC: States Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton, by The Hill’s Amie Parnes and Politico’s Jonathan Allen. The book says aides ranked them according to the gravity of their perceived betrayal, with several prominent Democrats — including Secretary of State John Kerry, then a Massachusetts senator — earning the blackest of black marks." ...

The ‘crime’ of the IRS

NY Post

RS Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner testifies before Congress

 — but she shed little light on the scandal, only saying that she'd done nothing

wrong and that she wasn't planning on saying anything else.

 

"Only days after we learned the Obama administration had appointed an Obama donor to head investigations into the IRS targeting of conservative organizations, we now have a leak from law enforcement saying the FBI doesn’t expect to file criminal charges.

"That’s the gist of a late-breaking story Monday evening in The Wall Street Journal. The story notes that though the investigation may go on another few months, unless other evidence is unearthed, the FBI conclusion will be that the IRS was a “mismanaged bureaucracy” enforcing rules “ it didn’t understand.' ”

Has your Rep signed Congressional letter against Israel academic boycott?

Legal Insurrection

"I reported last Friday on the draft Bipartisan Congressional letter to denounce academic boycott of Israel.
"The letter reads, in part:

We write in strong opposition to the American Studies Association’s (ASA) recent decision to boycott Israeli universities and academic institutions. While ASA has every right to express its views on policies pursued by any nation or government, we believe that the decision to blacklist Israeli academic institutions for Israeli government policies with which ASA disagrees demonstrates a blatant disregard for academic freedom….
Even more concerning is the singular targeting of Israel for boycott. Like all democracies, Israel is not perfect. But to single out Israel, while leaving relationships with universities in autocratic and repressive countries intact, suggests thinly-veiled bigotry and bias against the Jewish State.

"As of Friday, there were 36 signatories. As of yesterday, the number had risen to 57.  [Update - see list at bottom of post for most current numbers and signatories]
"The final signature list should be released later this week.
American civil society has been heard loud and clear, with major academic organizations and 190 University Presidents (as of this writing) rejecting the academic boycott.
"Now it is the time for American political society to be heard against the anti-Israel academic boycotters, as well.
"Is your House Representative on the list of signatories? If not, now is the time to reach out to their offices and find out why not." ...

Right now, Liberty isn't a big priority in this country.

Obama Moves to Use IRS to Shut Down Political Opposition    Related: No federal criminal charges expected in IRS targeting of tea-party groups
"The DOJ lawyer who’s heading the investigation is an Obama donor and the FBI, after seven months of supposedly investigating this, only recently contacted tea-party groups targeted by the IRS. But other than that, everything here seems legit." ...

Report: IRS Harasses Sarah Palin’s Father   "Sarah Palin’s brother, Chuck Heath Jr., posted this note on Facebook on January 11:

My father, who worked multiple jobs and faithfully and honestly paid his taxes for fifty years, had never heard a word from the IRS. In 2008, his daughter was tapped to run for vice president of the United States. Since that time, he has been, in his words “horribly harassed” six times by the agency. They’ve tried to dig up something on him but he’s always operated above board.

 More on this from American Thinker:  ... "It is time for an IRS Special Prosecutor. This is a lot more serious than Chris Christie making TV ads for New Jersey tourism."

Dave Barry’s Review of 2013, the Year of the Zombies (Updated)

WaPo

 

... "Not in the sense of most of humanity dying from a horrible plague and then reanimating as mindless flesh-eating ghouls. No, it was much worse than that. Because as bad as a zombie apocalypse would be, at least it wouldn’t involve the resurrection of Anthony Weiner’s most private part.

"We thought that thing was out of our lives forever, but suddenly there it was again, all over the Internet, as Weiner came back from the political grave like the phoenix, the mythical bird that arose from the ashes to run for mayor of New York and use the name “Carlos Danger” to text obscene photos of its privates to somebody named “Sydney Leathers*.' ”...

*... a fan of politicians such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders or Rep. Alan Grayson.

Update; My personal favorite quote from the above article:

In what could be seen as a troubling omen, on March 10, millions of Americans are forced to turn their clocks ahead one hour, despite repeated assurances from the Obama administration that “if you like the current time, you can keep the current time.”

Clarence Thomas confronts Joe Biden and his Senate Committee in 1991

Youtube

 

John Hawkins   The excerpt you are about to read occurs when Thomas is starting to become increasingly angry and frustrated with how unfair his confirmation hearings are to him.

The more I reflected on what was happening, the more it astonished me. As a child of the Deep South, I’d grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult, I was starting to wonder if I’d been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia, but in Washington, D.C., where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony. For all the fear I’d known as a boy in Savannah, this was the first time I’d found myself at the mercy of people who would do whatever they could to hurt me — and institutions that had once prided themselves on bringing segregation and its abuses to an end were aiding and abetting in the assault. Hypersensitive civil-rights leaders who saw racism around every corner fell silent when my liberal enemies sneered that I was unqualified to sit on the Court; editors and reporters who claimed to be objective substituted a pretense of balance for true fairness, presenting outrageous, wholly unsupported allegations side by side with spluttering denials. The implausible was now being treated more favorably than the obvious.'

Gates-Gate; the president badly needs a Republican scandal right now

When the Commander-in-Chief is a narcissist   "No wonder the media are pushing the Chris Christie bridge story so hard; the revelations about President Obama's conduct in office in Robert Gates's new book are frightening. America's national security is in the hands of a flat-out self-obsessed narcissist. Via Moe Lane and Ace of Spades, we learn what happened when Admiral Mullen and General McChrystal asked for 5000 more troops for Afghanistan early in Obama's first term, to arrest a deteriorating situation:"   ....

Feds investigate Christie's use of Sandy relief funds   ... "CNN has learned that federal officials are investigating whether Christie improperly used some of that money to produce tourism ads that starred him and his family."

Christie office: Obama administration approved Jersey Shore TV ads
Aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are pointing out that the Obama administration approved of the New Jersey tourism ads starring Christie and his family that a Democratic congressman has encouraged federal investigators to probe.
....
“ 'The Stronger Than The Storm campaign was just one part of the first action plan approved by the Obama Administration and developed with the goal of effectively communicating that the Jersey Shore was open for business during the first summer after Sandy,” Christie spokesman Colin Reed said Monday."

Feds looking into Christie use of Sandy relief funds   "The money was earmarked for a marketing campaign and had absolutely nothing to do with general relief of New Jersey residents. The marketing campaign was approved by HUD so it could not have been "directly" used except as part of the advertising campaign. To claim otherwise is pure politics."  Rick Moran

Dems Pile on Christie While Ignoring Hillary’s Past  ... "The list reads like an AM radio golden oldies countdown: Travelgate, the magical and mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records that showed up in a closet in the White House years after being subpoenaed, Whitewater, Bimbogate, and the vast right-wing conspiracy that unzipped her husband’s pants and forced him to have oral sex with Monica Lewinsky."

New Scandal, Same Old Christie    "This week, the raging bull turned sad puppy for two hours of bravura contrition after cashiering yet another top aide who, he says, lied to him.
