What the Left Doesn’t Understand About America

Heritage   "According to the latest Gallup poll, 58% of Americans believe that “the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses.” Contrast that with President Obama who recently told a Democratic campaign rally in Philadelphia, the very place where the Declaration of Independence was signed, that the United States Chamber of Commerce was “a threat to our democracy.” With all due respect to the President, the American people have a much different view of where the threat to our democracy is coming from."

Obama omits 'Creator' from Declaration rights language again "Both times, he was speaking before political groups of his supporters.

Once could be a mistake, but twice is a pattern. Acknowledging that our rights come from a power higher than government or himself seems to rankle this man who claims the power to halt the rise of the seas."

Janet Napolitano's New Advisor

Thomas Lifson "I have met Mohamed Elibiary. He is a slick fellow. You can read here his dancing and obfuscation about deception in Islam and other matters, in a long exchange we had here at Jihad Watch. Read it carefully, noting the questions I ask him and the answers he gives to them, and ask yourself whether he really ought to be on the Homeland Security Advisory Council."

Homeland Security’s Muslim Advisor Mohamed Elibiary Spoke at Conference Honoring Ayatollah Khomeini   "With that in mind, it is hard to understand why the Department of Homeland Security would be embracing Mohamed Elibiary and seeking his counsel. It would be one thing if they understood their outreach to Elibiary as an attempt to engage extremists, but it is clear that Janet Napolitano and her DHS colleagues believes that Elibiary is part of the solution, rather than part of the problem."

 

CBS’s ‘Medium’ Presents Sheriff Joe Arpaio-Like Character as Rapist-Murderer

Big Hollywood "I guess CBS couldn’t possibly present its Sheriff Arpaio-styled character as a good man. Their Arpaio-like character had to be seen as a sicko, rapist, and murderer. It is just another example of how Hollywood and the TV industry can’t stand it that there are real men out there that the voters love because they are public servants that are tough-minded, but fair. No, to TV, anyone that isn’t a liberal must be a rapist, a murderer, or a mentally deranged cretin."

Laura Ingraham Schools ‘CSI’ Producer Over Tea Party-Trashing Episode  "What has changed, however, is that just a few years ago all we could do was sit there and take these sucker shots – sit there and helplessly stew as the most popular drama on television betrayed our trust and goodwill with a strident and unanswered step into the political arena to unfairly malign a grassroots movement that has Leftist Hollywood as shook as the news media.
"No more."

Need to research TEA Party voting recommendations? (updated)

Just search under tea party voting recommendations   Include your area. Before  you vote straight ticket, be sure your Republican choice isn't a RINO and the independent the better choice.

The case for voting Republican    "It is not enough to repudiate [President Obama] in these elections through the loss of a few seats. If that happens Obama will just rationalize the losses, proffer excuses and lame rationalizations, denigrate those who voted against him and carry on remaking America according to his socialist philosophy and ideology of appeasement and moral relativism. No, repudiation is not enough. He must be curbed, stopped, and our only recourse, the only possibiity we have of doing that now, is to elect as many Republicans as we can. Republican majorities in the House and Senate would be sufficient, but a critical mass might do the trick as well. Hold your nose if you have to but vote for the GOP. Hell, if I can do it, so can anyone else. "  Jerry Philipson , American Thinker

Let's look in on the EPA, shall we?

Your tax dollars at work: EPA now funding propaganda videos telling kids juiceboxes are destroying the planet  "Despite the fact that Leonard’s work is quite fairly described as dishonest, Leonard continues to rack up accolades and The Story of Stuff and her new PBS videos are likely coming to a classroom near you. Aside from the recent New York Times profile, Leonard has also been declared a “Hero of the Environment” by Time magazine."

Climategate: Barack Obama's rule by EPA decree is a coup d'etat against Congress, made in Britain  "And what is the justification for this undemocratic action? The allegedly imminent threat from “Anthropogenic Global Warming”. There is always a supposed threat, when tyrants take the stage. The President of the United States has just reduced his moral authority to the level of any Third World dictator heading a “Government of National Emergency”. Fortunately, the world’s leading democracy, which he is trying to subvert, has guarantees of liberty so deeply embedded in its Constitution that US citizens are well placed to fight back."   (Dec, 2009)

You won't believe this article on Dust "pollution."  "Fine Dust Pollution Tops Drunk Driving as a Killer in California ."
 "To kill California's global warming law, as backers of this November's Proposition 23 want to do, is not going to kill jobs. It's going to kill people." !

Free speech under attack on college campuses (Video)

Washington Examiner "Greg Lukianoff, in a (poorly-lit) interview with Reason.TV’s Ted Balaker, runs down the list of ridiculously chilling instances where college administrators targeted the individual rights of their own students — from kicking out a student who made a satirical collage to writing up a student who objected to disclosing her sexual preferences."

U.S. Can't Build Like It Used To

Jonah Goldberg  "It took 410 days to build the Empire State Building, four years to erect the Golden Gate Bridge. The Pentagon took a year and a half, the Alaska Highway just nine months. These days it takes longer to build an overpass."....
"Meanwhile, the "race" to rebuild the World Trade Center as some kind of remorse theme park approaches its second decade."

Extreme Girls: All the President's Radical Women

Michelle Malkin "We are in the era of Democratic Extreme Girls -- Big Nanny handmaidens who demand control of your children, your health care, your energy use, your pocketbook and your news. And that's just for starters. If you think President Obama will move to the center after the midterms, think again."

White House Stands by Call for Tax Hike on Wealthy

Fox News  "The White House persistently accuses Republicans of holding the middle class "hostage" by insisting on an across-the-board extension.
"But Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Sunday that Democrats are to blame for the uncertainty injected into the business world by not tackling the issue before the election."

The president’s apologists look for scapegoats

Weekly Standard    "...A young community-organizer-cum-seminar-leader, having led a sheltered political life in deep blue America, is swept into office on the strength of a financial collapse weeks before the election plus the emotional need for a biracial redeemer. He misreads the country, the times, and his mandate, pushes through plans to turn the country into a social democracy at the exact moment that model is proving unworkable, governs in every way against the will of the people, and proves himself to be a bad politician, a coalition-destroyer, a fish out of water, and over his head. This simple line explains things much better than the convoluted tales that you keep coming up with. But it’s the one thought you cannot abide." Noemie Emery

'Fault Lines'   "In the Weekly Standard, Noemie Emery has produced an article so excellent and full of insight that it seems wrong to even try and excerpt. I urge you to read every word about Obama's apologists and how they keep trying to scapegoat the opposition." Clarice Feldman in American Thinker

Troops chafe at restrictive rules of engagement, talks with Taliban

Washington Examiner  "Word had come down the morning Brooks spoke to this reporter that watch towers surrounding the base were going to be dismantled because Afghan village elders, some sympathetic to the Taliban, complained they were invading their village privacy. "We have to take down our towers because it offends them and now the Taliban can set up mortars and we can't see them," Brooks added, with disgust."

Afghanistan; Understanding the Failure "There was one caveat to that 'Commander's Intent Statement'; be prepared for a long war. What this told us was that this enemy was insidious and tenacious. It told us that even after we had completed this mission, there would undoubtedly be other attacks and other missions to hold them accountable. Could it be, that in those early days, we were willing to assess the enemy in a way we have since lost the stomach for? Or could it be that the evil indoctrination of several generations has caused us to doubt the morality of self preservation and the damnable nature of Islamic doctrine and it's adherents?"

Shift in Momentum in Afghanistan  "I would caution against reading too much into any of this. It’s still early days, the full complement of surge forces having arrived in Afghanistan only last month. There is much hard fighting ahead, and many setbacks are certain. But at least there is now a sense that the war may be moving, however haltingly and slowly, in the right direction."  Max Boot.

More Bad News for Obamacare/ Repeal continues to gain support.
