Bombshell: McChrystal to resign if not given more troops

By Rick Moran "That leaked report asking for more troops has elicited more excuses, more dithering from the White House. And now we learn via Bill Roggio that McChrystal is doing something almost unheard of; he is challenging his commander in chief to fulfill his desire for more troops or he will resign."

Obama changes course on Mideast

By Leo Rennert "Now, Obama -- by changing diplomatic tactics -- has left Abbas twisting slowly in the wind. If Abbas follows the new U.S. playbook, he'll look like a patsy not only to Hamas in Gaza but to most Palestinians in the West Bank. But if he balks, he will no longer have Obama in his corner and he'll be left boxed-in -- with no prospect for U.S.-brokered Palestinian statehood. It's a tough predicament for Abbas, for which Obama is entirely responsible."

Here's your 'demonstration project,' Mr. President -- it's called Mississippi

Washington Examiner "Mississippi's reforms were truly sweeping. The new laws: *Changed rules of venue, to prevent abusive court-shopping. *Got rid of the rule of "joint and several liability" -- as Barbour put it, in order to protect the defendant who is only "2 percent negligent" but who has the "deep pockets" that trial lawyers look for when deciding whom to sue. *Protect innocent landowners and sellers of products. Under the reforms, "if a pharmacist is selling a drug that the FDA has said is appropriate for the purpose it says it's used for, unless the pharmacist knows it has been tampered with, then that pharmacist is immune," said Barbour. *Put caps on punitive damages, with a sliding scale based on the size of the defendant corporation. *Put caps on non-economic damages, particularly to deal with medical malpractice liability. "

We Need an Administrative-Detention Law. Denver shows us why we shouldn’t treat terror as a law-enforcement problem.

By Andrew C. McCarthy= "This is the bind we’ve put ourselves in by wedding our security to our criminal-justice processes: Arrest early to prevent an attack and prosecutors won’t be able to make charges stick — certainly not against the most significant terrorists. But if we wait too long in order for law enforcement to build a solid case, we increase the chance of a catastrophic terrorist attack."...."Our criminal-justice system is rightly the envy of the world, but it was designed to contain crime rather than to protect the nation from hostile foreign threats. By relying on it to do that which it is not fit to do — a job at odds with the presumption of innocence — we continue to invite catastrophe."

Deconstructing the “Whup Ass” (Said he.)

by Victor Davis Hanson "Barak Obama did not transcend race as promised. Nor was there a racial backlash against him as his supporters both feared and now charge.Rather the mood is weariness. One major reason Obama’s polls have dropped is the public resentment of this spate of allegations of racism."

Why is the Left so angry at Blacks who love America?

By Lloyd Marcus "I received angry emails from blacks who said I should be ashamed of myself. Apparently, they believe my not resenting whites and America is a betrayal of my blackness. I no longer feel the need to be patient with racist blacks. Just as we do not tolerate the KKK and white supremacists, we should not give a pass to racist blacks." Link: Lloyd Marcus.com

EXPLOSIVE NEW AUDIO Reveals White House Using NEA to Push Partisan Agenda

Breitbart "Should the National Endowment for the Arts encourage artists to create art on issues being vehemently debated nationally?"...."The question still requires debate but the facts do not. The NEA and the White House did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address politically controversial issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable."

Bertha, you lie!

J.C. Arenas "Lewis's performance during the interview with U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and host Chris Wallace was the finest in liberal arrogance and dishonesty. Throughout, she didn't bother to acknowledge Issa with eye contact and she often evaded their questions so she could continue to assert ACORN does so much good for poor, working class minorities."

The real reason for the rage: Americans aren't racist - they're just furious at Obama and Washington

By Frank Luntz "Obama's popularity hasn't tumbled because he's black. It's tumbled because he has come to represent Washington instead of those who sent him there. Read More: "
