Libs Demand Removal Of Rush Limbaugh From Children’s Choice Book Award Contest

Weasel Zippers

 

... "He was chosen, along with three other authors, for the Children’s and Teen Choice Book award contest.

 

"When [Children's] and Teen Choice Book contest, outraged liberals demanded he be removed from contention, according to Breitbart News.

The book council refused, issuing a public letter outlining its criteria for selection, saying:

The Author of the Year and Illustrator of the Year finalists are determined solely based on titles’ performances on the bestseller lists – all titles in those categories are listed as a result of this protocol. Some of you have voiced concerns over the selection of finalists from bestseller lists, which you feel are potentially-manipulable indications of the success of a title. We can take this into consideration going forward, but cannot change our procedure for selecting finalists after the fact.

"The kids are the ones who vote, by their book purchases, and no bias is permitted in the selections or the voting process, the group said, according to its website, CBCBooks.org.
...
"The contest is not about endorsing authors, the group said, but about endorsing young readers."   Full article

Aide who accused Bill Clinton of groping her says 'Americans deserve better than the Clintons'

UK Daily Mail  ... "Kathleen Willey was a Democratic fundraiser volunteering in the White House during Bill Clinton's presidency who claims the former president kissed and groped her inside a private study off of the Oval Office.
"Now, with a potential presidential run by Hillary Clinton in the works, Willey has resurfaced to warn the American public about the 'dysfunctional' former first family." ...

 

However...

... "Following Willey's news-making allegations in 1998 on the CBS program 60 Minutes, the Clinton White House released a series of letters and phone messages, sent after the alleged 1993 sexual harassment, which seemed to show Willey had a friendly outlook toward the president, and wanted more contact – not less.

"A federal judge later ruled that President Clinton had 'committed a criminal violation' of the Privacy Act by making her letters public. He was not prosecuted for it.

"And Linda Tripp, a one-time friend of Clinton paramour Monica Lewinsky, testified in a grand jury proceeding that Willey pursued Clinton, and not the other way around."

Obamacare Rates to Double In Many Areas, Democrats to Channel Monty Python’s Argument Sketch In Response

NRO  "In politics, there’s only so much massaging of the truth and flat-out lying that one can do before the headlines catch up with the deceit. Here’s one that ought to scare the hell out of any Democrats who are still hoping that The Charge of the Light Brigade can be an effective electoral strategy for them:

O-Care premiums to skyrocket

....
" One wonders what exactly the Democrats’ plan is here. Of late, Harry Reid, Kathleen Sebelius, and a few of their more committed acolytes have started to resemble the host in Monty Python’s Argument Sketch, a man who just flatly refuses to accept whatever charge is thrown at him:

A:  Obamacare is really hurting people.
B:   No it’s not.
A:   Yes it is. Look at this woman over here. She’s lost her doctor.
B:  She’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with her. Koch Brothers.

Obamacare. Obamacare. Obamacare

A Timeline of Obamacare Delays in Pictures

Heritage   "Obamacare is now four years old. But unlike most 4-year-olds, it still can’t walk on its own. It’s been tripping and falling over itself for years.
Just in the last year, the Obama administration has delayed or changed so many parts of the law—not to mention the technical “glitches”—it’s tough to keep up. Bloomberg Businessweek looked at the law’s recent track record and inspired us to take a visual tour."

....
"Thus far, the White House says it will not budge on the March 31 deadline to enroll. Uninsured people must choose a plan or will be forced to pay a penalty."

Obamacare or Not Obamacare?

NRO   ... "A reporter at a sparsely attended press conference learned Thursday what happens when you refer to the president’s signature health-care law by its popular nickname in front of Pelosi.

“ 'It’s called the Affordable Care Act. It’s called the Affordable Care Act. I know you didn’t intend any compliment or derogatory — it’s called the Affordable Care Act,” the California Democrat adamantly corrected. “Affordable, affordable — there’s a reason — affordable, affordable, affordable, affordable, affordable.' ”... 

.... "Additionally, Pelosi’s communications director Drew Hammill, the person in charge of the congresswoman’s messaging, has not been shy in promoting the term on his account."

Laura Ingraham On Crimea: Why Are We Only Concerned About The Borders Of Other Countries?

Downtrend 

 

"But, we have a country right now where the people look around and say, ‘Wait a second, why do we only seem to care about borders and sovereignty when they’re other countries’ borders and sovereignty?’” Ingraham said.

“Why is that we’re obsessed about that but, in our country, we have a middle class completely flatlining, we have economic opportunity dwindling, and I think it’s a hard sell to the people on spending money that we don’t really know where it’s coming from in an economy that needs desperate help here,” she said."

Three More Palestinian “No’s” to Peace

Jonathan S. Tobin   ... ""Yet while the Israelis have been prepared to accept Kerry’s framework for continued talks, albeit with misgivings about the direction of the process, it is the Palestinians who are digging in their heels and won’t commit to the framework or to keep talking after April. Demonstrating just how strong he thinks his hand is with the Americans, Abbas delivered three significant “no’s” to Obama last week that call into question both the Palestinians’ intentions as well as the future of the current process:"...

Russia Offers Different Threat than Cold War Era

Military.com  

 
Infinite Unknown
 

"Russia's military maneuvers in Crimea have left U.S. analysts questioning what sort of threat the former Cold War military giant's forces, platforms and weaponry currently present.

 

"Russian leaders have pushed to expand the military's conventional land, air and sea forces and quickly transition into the higher-tech information age while steadily pursuing next generation platforms.

 

"Overall, Russia's conventional and nuclear arsenal is a fraction of what it was during the Cold War, but the country is pursuing a new class of submarines, a T-50 stealth fighter jet, next-generation missiles and high-tech gear for individual ground soldiers."

Before Al Gore there was Noah;(UPDATED) little mention of God, and "unbelievers" are those who do not believe in man-caused global, er, climate change

Hollywood Reporter

 "To be sure, this is not the genial, grandfatherly Noah charmingly evoked by John Huston when he led an orderly assemblage of animals into the ark two-by-two in his 1965 epic The Bible. Crowe's Noah is a fighter, a survivalist and yet a tortured man dismayed by the ruin brought upon the land by the others of his species. In a visit with his ancient grandfather Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins), the men agree that, “It's men who broke the world,” and that, as a result, the Creator will destroy it. Foraging with one of his sons, Noah instructs, “We only collect what we need, what we can use.” For many today, this sort of environmental, back-to-the-earth religion has replaced the old-fashioned kind, with nonbelievers as shunned and disdained by the faithful as heathens once were by the righteous."

UPDATE: Noah epic awash in flood of controversy for green agenda and taking liberties with Bible   ... "Noah's director Darren Aronofsky, a self-described atheist who made the Oscar-nominated hit The Black Swan, has described the movie as is "the least biblical biblical film ever made" and called Noah "the first environmentalist". According to one early review, the name "God" is not actually spoken at any stage.

"Now, amid a wave of criticism from some Christian groups about its loose interpretation of a sacred script, the Paramount studio has taken the unusual step of issuing an "explanatory message" to accompany marketing material."
....
 In a effort to stymie the criticism, Paramount has just released a new eight-minute promotional video called Noah Featurette running praise from Christian leaders for the film.

" 'Movies aren't meant to preach. Movie's aren't sermons [WHAT?], and so if they can bring up the topic and start conversations, that's a good movie" ...
Emphasis added. Who hasn't grown sick of the progressive agenda promoted so often by the entertainment we watch?

Obama May Issue 'Very Controversial Executive Orders' on Immigration

CNS News

"Díaz-Balart suggested that Obama could scrap a Homeland Security program called Secure Communities, which allows state and local police to check the immigration status of people  they detain for other reasons.

 

" 'That has caused more thn 150,000 people to be deported," Díaz-Balart said. "And maybe the president could tackle that specifically. That would mitigate immediately in local communities people who have minor traffic infractions and find themselves deported.' "
