The word "Occupied" on a rest room door has more meaning now

Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson

Your go-to site for commentary on Obama's Occupiers  "Today the Occutards, Obama’s children, and the union goons plan to shut down Wall Street.  What can we expect?  Well, I doubt that the Occutards will be engaging in intellectual conversations about their “cause.”  We’ve heard them over the weeks, and we now know that 99% of the 99% can’t even explain in cogent terms what they are protesting."....
"I wonder how many Tea Partiers ended up in police custody? Anyway … I guess this is what we can expect from a crowd that left behind dozens of hypodermic needles in Zuccotti Park after police gave them the boot." ....
"Just yesterday when asked to comment about the deaths and crimes that have occurred at Occutard protests, Maxine Waters said “that’s life and it happens … That’s a distraction from the goals of the protesters.” " (Emphasis added.) More links at this site...

#Occupy Protester Arrested After Threatening to Burn Down NYC  “On the 17th, mark my words, we’re going to burn this city down,” said Nkrumah Tinsley, 29. “In a few days, you’re going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to Macy’s.” Pictured at right.

NYT: Obama’s EPA Decision Based on Campaign Politics

Commentary Magazine  "Obama’s decision on the proposed EPA smog regulations actually has a lot in common with his decision on the Keystone XL construction. Environmentalists and unions assumed Obama would support both policies, and he surprised them with both decisions. The White House’s unexpected choice to block the EPA regulations was praised by unions and criticized by environmentalists, and the inverse was true with his decision to delay the Keystone XL construction. These aren’t consistent policy decisions, they’re a political balancing act."
....

"This is unnerving, if only because it shows three years into Obama’s term it’s still difficult to know for sure where he stands on many issues. Keystone XL is a prime example. If he wins a second term and isn’t constrained by election politics, will he support its construction or not? At this point, it’s anybody’s guess."

Newt's our man! Um, wait...what?

donkeyhotey
Ann Coulter: If Not Romney, Who? If Not Now, When?
So now, apparently, we have to go through the cycle of the media pushing Newt Gingrich​. This is going to be fantastic.
In addition to having an affair in the middle of Clinton's impeachment; apologizing to Jesse Jackson​ on behalf of J.C. Watts -- one of two black Republicans then in Congress –- for having criticized "poverty pimps," and then inviting Jackson to a State of the Union address; cutting a global warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi​; supporting George Soros​' candidate Dede Scozzafava in a congressional special election; appearing in public with the Rev. Al Sharpton​ to promote nonspecific education reform; and calling Paul Ryan​'s plan to save Social Security "right-wing social engineering," we found out this week that Gingrich was a recipient of Freddie Mac political money.
....
donkeyhotey
"We look forward with cheery anticipation to an explosion of news stories on some of the stranger aspects of Mormonism. The articles have already been written, but they're not scheduled for release until the day Romney wraps up the nomination.
"Inasmuch as the Democrats' only argument for the big-eared beanpole who's nearly wrecked the country is that you must be a racist if you oppose Obama, one assumes a lot of attention will be lavished on the Mormon Church's historical position on blacks. Church founder Joseph Smith​ said blacks had the curse of Cain on them and banned blacks from the priesthood, a directive that was not revoked until 1978."
....
"Instead of sitting on our thumbs, wishing Ronald Reagan were around, or chasing the latest mechanical rabbit flashed by the media, conservatives ought to start rallying around Romney as the only Republican who has a shot at beating Obama. We'll attack him when he's president.
"It's fun to be a purist, but let's put that on hold until Obama and his abominable health care plan are gone, please."  I think she's talking to you, Rush.
 

donkeyhotey
  Alan Caruba:  If Not Romney, Who?   "That is why a lengthy editorial in a recent Wall Street Journal is noteworthy. “Romney’s Fiscal Awakening” was a thorough analysis of a November 4th Romney speech on the subject of reversing the nation’s economic problems. The Journal said “his remarks deserve more attention than they’ve received as a guide to how he might govern.” "....
..."Yes, I think he will get the GOP nomination. Yes, I would vote for him.
The highest hurdle Romney must overcome is his reputation as a “flip-flopper.” There is no question that he has changed his views over the years on many topics, but that can be easily countered by merely listing the many times that Obama has done the same or, in his case, voted “present.” "

Place your bets on who will be the first reporter to ask Romney about the Mountain Meadows Massacre, as if he was there at the time. I place my bet on any NBC employee attached to the White House. TD

SEIU Plans “Occupy Bridge Day” To Support Obama Jobs Bill…


"This sorta goes hand-in-hand with his job-killing economic policies, huh?"


Gateway Pundit:  Unions Plan Pro-Obama “Bridge Action Day” – Will Shut Down Bridges & Harass US Workers on Thursday     The SEIU reported:
Join with SEIU members and community activists on Thursday, November 17, 2011 on Bridge Action Day. There will be actions in Detroit, Kalamazoo, and Saginaw. We will be highlighting the need for investment in our infrastructure and the jobs that these investments would provide. Michigan needs jobs now. Instead of giving handouts to big corporations, we need our leaders to stop the power struggles and focus on creating good jobs that pay a fair wage. By investing in our crumbling local bridges, we can put Michigan back to work and get our economy moving again.

Obama's principles of governance

Neal Boortz  "Here’s what I’ve come up with so far; but the list is by no means complete."
•American greatness comes from government.
•The economy is to be used as a political tool. Political objectives should be pursued through a command economy
•In a free market economy people acquire wealth by exploiting and taking advantage of the weak. It is the government’s job to right these wrongs.
•The people, are the property of government. Therefore, wealth produced by the people belongs to the government and the political class shall determine the manner in which that wealth is distributed back to the people.
•Money spent by government will lead to economic growth. Money spent by the private sector leads to wealth and income inequality.
•There is a point, which point shall be determined by the political class, at which individuals have made enough money.
•Government dependence is to be encouraged in all matters
•The United States is no more important in international affairs than Turkey or Greece.
Obama’s Abuse of Executive Orders: Worse than Fast and Furious?  "The Constitution clearly gives the power of legislating to Congress – period. A check on that power resides in the Executive Office, where the president can sign acts into law or not. In this he has some discretion over what kind of acts Congress passes into law, but he has no authority to legislate: no authority whatsoever. And he cannot create authority to legislate because all authority belongs to the people, save that authority which they delegate to various office holders and branches of government in ways plainly outlined in the Constitution.
"Remember: All powers not delegated to the government by the Constitution, “nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” "
That is no comfort when we find that "The People" are those who make up the audience of "The View" and David Letterman.

Our little occupiers;Tuesday and Wednesday

Neal Boortz: Obama's children sent home to mama  "These were children – representatives of the self-esteem movement in our government schools – who bought in its entirety the Obama campaign against achievers and capitalism. Obama rants against the evil 1% who are most certainly not paying their fair share in taxes (yeah, right) and his children take up the “we are the 99%” chant on the streets. Obama rails against corporations, and the occupy movement becomes stringently anti-business and especially anti-corporate. These occupiers were a daily reminder of the division that has been brought about by Obama’s class warfare rhetoric and reelection blueprint. We’re going to miss them. Then again – somewhere in NY there is a city worker that won’t have to scrape poop off of police cars today."
More Boortz: Occutards costing small business  "According to the New York Post, since the Occupy Wall Street movement began in Zuccotti Park on September 17, protestors have cost surrounding businesses $479,400. Local jewelry shops, restaurants, and beauty salons complain that aggressive signs and reports of violence have dissuaded patrons from visiting their establishments – essentially driving struggling small companies out of business…"  Snopes has this on Zucotti Park.

Mr. Boortz referred us to this Michelle Malkin post: Live from New York…It’s Operation Monday Night Un-Occupy Zuccotti Park; at least 25 reported arrests; “They’re throwing and breaking everything!”; dump trucks and tear gas rumors; the “People’s Kitchen” is closed; they’ll be back; ACLU-tied judge ordered off case;
The same loons who shout “F**k the Police” are now screaming “WE LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!!”
Occupier whines: “They’re throwing and breaking everything!” Ranting about 60 days of “work” going to waste.
Karma.
NYC has sent in a sanitation truck. Occupiers shriek in horror. Like garlic to vampires:

Occupy Protesters Cut Through Fence on Church’s Lot — Cops Pour in and Make Arrests
"The church, which has been supportive of the protests thus far, became aware of the event (located not at the church but at a separate location) at the same time media reported on it, indicating that it wasn‘t approved by Trinity’s leaders."

The Boorish Liberal at Thanksgiving Dinner; Belladonna Rogers and Ann Coulter offer advice

Advice Columnist Belladonna Rogers  Q: "During Thanksgiving dinner in 2009, my brother asked what I thought of Obama’s stimulus package. I knew we’d disagree bitterly, so I tried avoiding an answer. He persisted like a bulldog until I said I was against it. My wife and I gave specific, fact-based reasons we opposed it. He, his wife and grown children all piled onto my wife and me, trotting out all the liberal bromides against anyone who differs.
"The following morning when we visited for breakfast, we were shocked to see he’d posted a new magnet, one that hadn’t been there the night before, front and center on his fridge door:"
"Our mother’s now 85, and in very fragile health, and I don’t want another pitched battle when my brother asks me which candidate I support. I can’t refuse to go because it means so much to our mother to be with both her sons.
"What to do?"
-------------------------

A:  "Just in case, though, I suggest arriving at your brother’s house with a few of your own favorite fridge magnets to leave behind as thoughtful gifts if, despite your efforts, your brother is unable to attain maturity by November 24."....

"80 mph, and going for broke: “My wife and I drive almost 1,000 miles to be insulted by you and your family. Your boorish, intolerant behavior has been on full display the past two Thanksgivings. If you mention even one word about politics at the table, my wife and I will excuse ourselves politely, and won’t return. We’ll take Mom out to lunch the following day and enjoy some quiet time with her. I refuse to engage in your agenda again. You’ll have to find another conservative to bash. It won’t be as much fun as haranguing your older brother, but it will have to suffice. Maybe you’d drive that far for a pointless argument, but I won’t.”"....

"I hope one — or, if absolutely necessary, all — of these approaches to your brother will result in a happier holiday for you, your wife, and your entire family.
— Belladonna Rogers"

Ann Coulter: Book Excerpt: 'How to Talk to a Liberal'  "At a loss whenever anyone argues back, liberals have a number of stratagems to prevent conservatives from talking. They shout conservatives down; unplug reporters' microphones; edit conservatives' answers in pretaped TV shows (Hardball) to make the conservative look like a monkey; burn student newspapers; and heckle conservative speakers. When John Stossel went to Brown University for a report on "date rape," he was mobbed by angry protesters chanting, "Rape is not TV hype!" — and then his microphone cord was unplugged by an angry student. College dropout Michael Moore put a microphone in Republican Congressman Mark Kennedy's face and asked for his help in getting more members of Congress to send their own family members to fight the war on terror. Kennedy replied that he would love to and that he already had two nephews in the military, one on his way to Afghanistan. Moore's documentary shows Kennedy's image — but cuts his answer from the film."

How ironic, then to check the word "demagogy"/ "demagoguery" at Wikipedia and see that the only socialist mentioned is Hitler. TD

Alan Caruba: Iran's Nuclear Armageddon

Warning Signs   "I have absolutely no confidence in Obama when it comes to the preemptive action that must be taken against Iran’s nuclear and military facilities in order to end a threat that even the President acknowledged in a recent Hawaii press conference would be directed not just at Israel, but at the United States as well."....
"The failure of the U.S. to develop its own extensive oil reserves will prove to be a massive strategic error. The delay of a proposed Canadian oil pipeline to deliver oil to the U.S. is just one small element of this failure."....
"An Iranian newspaper referred to the American agenda on July 20 this way: ‘The Obama administration is prepared to accept the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran…they have no long-term plan for dealing with Iran. Their strategy consists of begging us to talk to them.”" 
It was true in Lincoln's day as it is today; Democrats will sell this nation down the river if it keeps them in power. But power over what?
The fundamental change that came to America with Obama is finally becoming frighteningly apparent. TD.

March 27, 2009,  Kerby Anderson: Iranian Threat  "Consider the words of the current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On October 26, 2005 he said: "God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism."" 
How Mein Kampfish can you get?
Hitler wrote it, he did it and the world paid a terrible price for it all because free countries were afraid of the anti-war pacifists (I wanted to get both those terms into my comment so there would be no mistake as to whom I was referring).


Raymond Ibrahim: Islam's Predictability: Apostasy, Execution, and Lies  "Even Islamist organizations, including al Qaeda, while regularly pontificating to fellow Muslims about how Islam demands the subjugation of non-Muslims — simply because they are infidels — always back-peddle when communicating with the West, opting instead to use language and paradigms that comport with Western sensibilities.
"It is in this manner that many in the West have come to believe Islam's nonstop aggression around the globe is a byproduct of "grievances," of "Zionism," of US "foreign policy," of anything and everything, not Islam."

From TheReligionofPeace.com : What does the Religion of Peace Teach About....Lying?  "There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. "

From barenakedislam : Obama Regime is concerned that Israel will NOT warn them if it decides to attack Iran. Obama orders enhanced spying on Israel.

"In Mr Netanyahu’s eyes, Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another “Hitler” whose aim is to complete what the Holocaust failed to do by wiping out the Jewish race.
"“People outside Israel don’t understand how profound memories of the Holocaust are, and how they affect future policy making,” said Mr Bergman, the military analyst. “At the end of the day, this policy of ‘never again’ would dictate Israel’s behaviour when intelligence comes through that Iran has come close to a bomb.” "
"It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you."

Christian Baker Faces Boycott For Refusing to Make Lesbian Cake

Todd Starnes  of Fox News  "Pro-gay activists have launched a boycott of an Iowa baker who declined to create a wedding cake for a lesbian couple based on her religious beliefs.
"Victoria Childress, the owner of Victoria’s Cake Cottage in Des Moines  , has been accused of being anti-gay, homophobic, and a bigot after she refused to make a cake for Trina Vodraska and Janelle Sievers."

In a First, The Guardian Mentions Scott Olsen’s Anti-Military Website

Olsen
Verum Serum  "After we broke the story on Scott Olsen’s ihatethemarinecorps.com website, the media continued to portray him as simply an award winning veteran. We argued at the time that if his medals and honors were worth mentioning in news stories on his injury, so was his expressed hatred for the military in which he’d served.
"To say this was not well received would be putting it mildly."
 More on Scott Olsen at this page, including related links. 

Scott Olsen: A Disgrace to the Corps  "Apparently his loathing of the Corps did not begin after discharge. He clearly showed his contempt of the Corps while still enlisted. Photographs of him sitting amid marijuana and smoking paraphernalia are on his Flickr account where he proudly states the following (exact quote including typos and grammatical errors):“
I was talking to my 1stsgt regarding a pending adsep since I had been accused of using cocaine. Anyway, when we were done talking, he used as a parting greeting “stay marine”. He clearly didn’t think that one through. It was no secret that I couldn’t wait to get out and on top of that, the MC was trying to kick me out. I was going to bust his balls over it, but I went and took a nap instead.”
...."But what I will not do is silently stand aside and have this person presented to the American people as a hero or as an Honorable Marine."  From milpages

#OWS Claims US Marines Are Joining Their Ranks (Video)
Being from a military family, I know of no one in the service who would stoop so low to disgrace themselves. I can speak for family members and friends in or out of Air Force, Army Airborne, Marines, and Coast Guard. How many of these so called protesters have an honorable discharge?    From Meg, in the comments to this post at Gateway Pundit
TW chose this photo above of Olsen instead of the one of him in his uniform out of compassion for Olsen. We felt he would want to be remembered as the protesting civilian rather than the Marine that he was so ashamed of being. We save photos of Marines in uniform only for those warriors of whom we are proud.
Forgive me; it was so intolerant of me to say that.

Caroline Glick  "THERE WAS never any chance for peace because the Palestinians have no interest in making peace with Israel. As the West's favorite Palestinian "moderate," Fatah leader and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas said in an interview with Egypt's Dream TV on October 23, "I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will never recognize the 'Jewishness' of the State [of Israel] or a 'Jewish state.'" That is, Abbas will never make peace with Israel."
