Hamas Rules Out Fighting for Iran

STRATFOR  "However, Hamas publicly stating that it will not fight against Israel on behalf of Iran is extremely significant.
"First and most obviously, it means that Israel may not have to worry as much about attacks against its southern flank in the event that Israel takes military action against Iran. But even more significant, the statement underscores Hamas' efforts to join the mainstream of Sunni Arab politics in the wake of the Middle East unrest and the electoral gains of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere."

But...when Muslims make statements, keep this in mind:   Tawriya: New Islamic Doctrine Permits 'Creative Lying'
"Of course, while all the sheikhs give examples that are innocuous and amount to "white" lies, tawriya can clearly be used to commit terrible, "black" lies, especially where the adversarial non-Muslim infidel is concerned. As Sheikh al-Munajid puts it: "Tawriya is permissible if it is necessary or serves a Sharia interest." Consider the countless "Sharia interests" that run directly counter to Western civilization and law, from empowering Islam to subjugating infidels. To realize these, Muslims, through tawriya, are given a blank check to lie—a check that surely comes in handy: not just in trivial occasions, like avoiding unwanted callers, but momentous ones, such as at high-level diplomatic meetings where major treaties are forged."

Detecting Terrorist Surveillance

STRATFOR  "Those planning terrorist attacks follow a discernable process referred to as the terrorist attack cycle. We also discussed last week how terrorism planners are vulnerable to detection at specific points during their attack cycle and how their poor surveillance tradecraft is one of these vulnerable junctures.
...."At its heart, surveillance is watching someone while attempting not to be caught doing so. As such, it is an unnatural activity, and a person doing it must deal with strong feelings of self-consciousness and of being out of place. People conducting surveillance frequently suffer from what is called "burn syndrome," the belief that the people they are watching have spotted them. Feeling "burned" will cause surveillants to do unnatural things, such as hiding their faces or suddenly ducking back into a doorway or turning around abruptly when they unexpectedly come face to face with the person they are watching."

Rich Terrell's thoughts on the Obamamobile

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Want to understand why we are in this heap?

Neal Boortz  "Does the name Jionni LaValle ring a bell?  This is Snooki’s baby daddy.  He was the sixth most searched term on Google on Super Tuesday.  Rounding out the top five were Lenny Dykstra, Donald Payne, earthquake San Francisco, Patricia Heaton and Rush Limbaugh.  “Super Tuesday”?  That ranked #10.  None of the GOP candidates made the top 20 search terms.

 "This compounds the story I told you about earlier in the week … Lady GaGa has reached 20 million Twitter followers.  In fact, the top 5 Twitterers in terms of followers are all pop stars.

"Our celebrity worship culture – this is one of the things that is killing America.  There are so many Americans who really need to wake up and understand just how the country that they so love is under attack.  Remember, though, our government schools were designed to create just the type of citizens who are more worried about Snooki’s baby than they are about the future of their own.  Considering all of this, do you really need to wonder just how our body politic was invaded by a poison like Barack Obama?" 

The 10 Terrible Provisions of Obamacare You May Not Have Heard Of

Heritage  "Obamacare includes such a variety and volume of negative policies that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Here is a list of 10 terrible provisions that every American should be aware of:"

Item #2 on this list: " It adds a new tax to investment income. The increased payroll tax rate is also applied to high-earners’ investment income for the first time beginning in 2013. It will hit capital gains, dividends, rents, and royalties, discouraging investment and harming economic growth."

And here is item #5: It penalizes marriage. "Obamacare creates new taxpayer-funded subsidies for the low and middle classes to purchase health coverage, but the structure of the subsidies allows two individuals to claim more in subsidies alone than if married. This discriminates against married couples and discourages marriage at almost all age and income"

The Real Point of the Left’s Uproar over Limbaugh

Bruce Thornton  ...."Take everybody’s exhibit number one, the HBO blowhard Bill Maher, who’s on record calling Sarah Palin a “c—t” and inviting Jon Huntsman to “suck my d—k.” I don’t remember the President calling Palin or Hunstman to regret “that our political discourse has become debased,” as his flack Jay Carney put it. Nor is anyone demanding that Obama-supporting superpac Priorities USA Action should return the million bucks Maher gave it. Why should they? Remember when Obama called the Tea Party folks “tea-baggers,” a vulgar sexual term? “Appropriate” and “debased” are in the eye of the progressive beholder, and depend on the ideology of whoever is being attacked."
....

"Hence the progressive’s elevation of contraception and abortion into “rights,” which puts the necessary discussion of the obvious destructive consequences of sexual promiscuity out of bounds. But these “rights” have nothing to do with “women’s health” and everything to do with the progressive government’s aim of consolidating and increasing its power at the expense of other authorities, like churches, that might have something to say about the personally and socially destructive price of those “rights.” That’s the real significance of the uproar Rush Limbaugh caused: not his crudity or insensitivity, but calling attention to the centrality of sexual libertinism to the progressive agenda of increasing government power at the expense of individual freedom."

OBAMA: 'OPEN UP YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS' TO RACIALIST PROF

Big Government

OBAMA'S MENTOR: 'WE HID THIS THROUGHOUT 2008 CAMPAIGN'

"Well, we found it. And it is damaging, because Barack Obama was as close or closer to Derrick Bell than he ever was to Jeremiah Wright. Obama didn’t merely sit in the pews – or not -- for Derrick Bell. He didn’t just hang out with Derrick Bell for prayers. He said:"

“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.”

...."There’s far more coming on Derrick Bell. This is just the beginning. And this video is a smoking gun showing that Barack Obama not only associated with radicals, he was their advocate."

Black Quill and Ink: The Obama Puzzle....Pieces of Radicalism   "Below are several videos that address the issue of Obama’s radical agenda for America. For this agenda to be carried out it was necessary for Obama to place key people in positions of government. Obama achieved this by appointing radicals not only into his Cabinet but more specifically as Czar. By using the Czar route, Obama was able to completely by pass the Congress and our Constitutional confirmation process."

Obama's press conference commented upon

My version of Obama presser  "What I have seen is this one response from Obama claiming that the GOP candidates are “beating the drums of war” when it comes to Iran.  I would love for Obama to give one example of a Republican candidate who says that they want to go to war with Iran.  No one wants to go to war with Iran.  This is just Obama’s way of distracting from the real failure, which is his own failure to adequately deal with a nuclear-aspirant Iran.  From giving in to Russia on the missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, failing to support the Green revolution in Iran and being wishy-washy in our support for Israel, Barack Obama’s failures have led us to this unfortunate point."


 Obama takes aim at Limbaugh and Republican presidential candidates in White House 
press briefing  "Whether the topic was housing relief for Americans in the armed forces or whether Republicans are waging a "war on women" regarding the contraceptives issue ("women will make up their own minds on what they think is important"), Obama at the podium in the Briefing Room looked very much like Obama on the campaign trail.  It is likely that Americans will see and hear a lot more of the president in campaign mode in the coming weeks and months."


Interesting insight on some of the pro-Obama reporters in the White House. Norah O'Donnell once asked President Bush to apologize to the American People. See her reaction to Mr. Obama at the 28 second mark as the president disses Ed Henry. O'Donnell is sitting to Henry's right. Below is video of her reporting on Obama's visit to Ireland.
Lets see how her reporting on to the coming election campaign will go, though I'm sure she will be fair and balanced.

Randall Terry vs. Obama in Oklahoma

Randall Terry

Obama’s poor showing in Oklahoma  "President Barack Obama’s victory in Oklahoma’s Democratic primary was far less emphatic than typical for an incumbent president, and his poor showing in more than a dozen of the state’s counties threatened to cost him a unanimous re-nomination."

Randall Terry might keep Obama from unanimous renomination  "In other words, if Terry doesn’t release his delegates to vote for Obama, he could keep the incumbent president from unanimous renomination. That doesn’t change the substance of the 2012 race, but it’s still a little poke to Obama’s pride. In general, Terry’s success also demonstrates that pro-life Democrats are alive and well and appreciate the option to vote for someone who shares a fundamental view."


Anti-abortion activist might keep Obama from unanimous re-nomination  "The president has little chance of carrying Oklahoma in the fall. In 2008, he lost the state to GOP contender Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) 66 percent to 34."

The unabashed hypocrisy of the left; why no outrage in the press?

SCHAKOWSKY REFUSES TO CONDEMN MISOGYNISTIC LANGUAGE FROM TOP OBAMA DONOR

"Two days ago Jan Schakowsky released a statement condemning Rush Limbaugh for his remarks on Sandra Fluke:"

“I strongly condemn the personal and vicious remarks made by Rush Limbaugh and conservative commentators this week about Sandra Fluke, a heroic young woman who is speaking out for her peers about their right to birth control.  The behavior of those leaders from the right can only be classified as misogynistic, offensive, and a deliberate attempt to distract us from the legitimate argument about the consequences of limiting access to contraception.   Rush Limbaugh repeatedly used sexually-charged, patently offensive, and obscene language to malign Sandra’s character.....

"She was asked by a citizen journalist whether or not she would condemn one of President Obama's biggest donors who called Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, personally, exponentially worse. When presented with the opportunity, Conresswoman Schakowsky refused. "   Video below: 

When Life Gives You Electric Lemons...  "The president added that if his girls are ever called before Congress to testify (which we're giving better than even odds), he wouldn't "want them attacked or called horrible names when they’re being good citizens."
"Unlike Sarah Palin, presumably, who was called a "c*nt" and "tw*t" by Bill Maher, who just gave Barry $1 million with which to run attack ads on Republicans. Of course, there's NO WAY that Obama would keep money from a man who thinks so little of women (like his wife and daughters), so he's giving it all back. When Hell freezes over."

Power Line: THE PARTY OF HATE  "Millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama in the hope that he would be a trailblazer who would conduct the presidency in a new way. Well, he has: Obama has been the most divisive president in our modern history, unabashedly stirring up hate against not only his political enemies, but against private citizens who exercise their right to participate in our democracy. The most recent hatefest has been directed against Rush Limbaugh, and Obama has personally stirred the pot."
...."Barack Obama has been a terrible president in many ways, but perhaps his most poisonous legacy is his cynical fomenting of partisan hate to advance his own political interests. After three years, we have learned that “hope” is not the word that we should associate with the Obama presidency."

Rush still stands

Rush Limbaugh:  Clearing Up Misinformation on Our Sponsors   "Nobody is losing money here, including us, in all this. And that is key for you to understand. They are not canceling the business on our stations. They're just saying they don't want their spots to appear in my show. We don't get any revenue from 'em anyway. The whole effort is to dispirit you. It's to make you think the left is being successful in its campaign when it isn't. In fact, the left is so fed up, they can't see straight. They thought they had me. They thought I would be off the air by now. They can't understand why I still am on the air. There is also another rumor going around that I am going to be suspended for a week. It is utter BS."
After that, Rush moves on to this topic:  Barack Obama's Oil Lies are Rooted in His Contempt for the United States of America;  

Two percent of the world's reserves, and yet we use 20%, and, boy, are we evil, we are selfish.  See, we need to cut back and stop this.  We need to stop taking other people's oil.  Well, of course we don't.  We buy it.  It's another thing.  We're not stealing it.  We're buying it from willing sellers.  There's nothing immoral whatsoever about us using 20% of the world's oil, if we pay for it.  Nothing immoral whatsoever, and I can't tell you how I resent this man's effort day in and day out to somehow say otherwise.  

"Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is being targeted by multiple death threats after President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party ignored his apology for controversial remarks and continued to single him out for rebuke. The assault has become so nakedly partisan and opportunistic that even HBO host Bill Maher--who recently donated $1 million to Obama's Super PAC--has called it a witch hunt with intimidation as its goal."

Hate and Bile: Left-Wing Attacks on Women Get Little Press  "That’s laughable coming from those who’ve ignored or excused attacks from the left against conservative women like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin*, Ann Coulter and Carrie Prejean. Liberals slime conservative women regularly, usually in language far worse than Limbaugh used. And they are seldom, if ever, held to account for sexual, violent misogynistic speech. Conservative women – whether pundits, politicians or even politicians’ wives – are fair game to the left.
Here are some of the worst examples of attacks on conservative women in recent years."... "Editor’s note – This article contains graphic language, sometimes of an extremely sexual nature." 


*Michelle Malkin: The War on Conservative Women  "It was Keith Olbermann, then at MSNBC and now at Al Gore's Current TV, who wrote on Twitter that columnist S.E. Cupp was "a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does" and who called me a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it." He stands by those remarks. Olbermann has been a special guest at the White House."

IS SANDRA FLUKE COORDINATING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE?  "As The Daily Caller recently exposed, there's been a high level of coordination between the White House and Media Matters for America, so of course it's no shock that Ms. Fluke chose MMFA as her leftist propaganda arm of choice."
