It's Bush's fault and I killed bin Laden

Libsmack   Via Conservative Daily News


It was Bush's fault way back in 2006. Obama inherited this excuse from the Bush administration.

And we all know what Katrina did to New Orleans was Bush's fault.

Oh, goody: Get excited for this major motion picture about fracking

Hot Air Hopefully, the video below will help offset some of the anti-fracking propaganda, some of which is included at the link.
 "Because I’m just so wildly fond of celebrities using their pop-cultural platforms to ‘educate’ others on complex economic and environmental issues that they don’t actually understand at all, you can probably guess just how excited I am about this little gem of intellectual dishonesty, courtesy of Matt Damon and our enlightened Brahmin in Tinseltown, due to hit theaters this December. Hint: Promised Landbasically looks like the brazenly deceitful Gasland “documentary,” remade into a fictional storyline."

...."While overwhelming evidence suggests that hydraulic fracturing is in fact reviving small-town America, why is it that no celebrity has stepped up to make a major movie about the environmentalists’ conservation movement impoverishing rural Americans and forcing private individuals off of their land?" 

Fracking Dangers, Real and Overblown  "Basically, I went into this story, early last year, assuming that it would be easy to show that hydraulic fracturing, or blasting open rock deep underground, directly threatens drinking water supplies. But what I learned in my reporting is that while this may not be impossible–and while more research needs to be performed to determine how likely it is–it doesn’t appear to be the largest concern."

Why one is skeptical of Hollywood-backed scares; there is a proven track record giving us good reasons.

The coming presidential debates

The Narrative Has Already Been Written  "If Obama stumbles in his first debate against Romney, the ObamaMedia will be doing what they can to justify his lackluster performance by reminding the audience that Obama didn’t have adequate time to prepare, considering the tremendous duties associated with being the Commander-in-Chief. 
"Mitt Romney on the other hand, he doesn’t have to bear the burden of being the president.  He’s a fulltime candidate.  So anything less than perfect will reflect poorly on him.  And let’s face it; if the ObamaMedia is the judge, there is no chance of Romney ever coming out of these debates looking good, let alone perfect."  Neal Boortz

Victor Davis Hanson; Can Romney appear as an upbeat Reagan to Obama’s petulant Carter?   "What does 1980 tell us about 2012? Barack Obama, like Carter, can run neither on his dismal four-year stewardship of the economy nor on his collapsing Middle East policy.

Instead, Obama, as Carter did, must stamp his opponent as too inexperienced, too out of touch, and too uncaring to be president. While Carter was a dull speaker and Obama, in contrast, possesses teleprompter eloquence, there is no evidence that Obama is any better a debater than was Carter."

L. A. Times is laying the groundwork to explain a bad Obama performance in the contest.  "As far as Parsons is concerned, Obama is at a disadvantage for the up coming debates because he is busy being president and has less time for debate practice than Romney."   Well, this is the paper of choice for TV actors, Oscar/ Emmy/Grammy award winners and an unnamed corpulent movie director. 

Busy Obama Campaigning In Virginia Today

White House Dossier  "President Obama, who has failed to make room in his schedule to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu or any other world leader during this week’s opening of the UN General Assembly, will be campaigning today in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 

Netanyahu, whose country may soon be going to war with Iran, will meet with Secretary of State Clinton instead. Others who have found room in their schedule to meet with Netanyahu are Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper – who recently threw all of Iran’s diplomats out of his country – and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.  
"The White House, which has been under fire for ducking Netanyahu, has not ruled out a meeting, and may in the end bow to pressure to schedule one. Netanyahu is in the United States until Saturday night.

"Netanyahu could easily make the quick hop to Washington from New York. And Obama has demonstrated an ability to take a spontaneous trip to New York, having used Air Force One to escort his wife there for a date in 2009."  (Emphasis added for snarkiness)


OBAMA SKIPS MEETINGS WITH WORLD LEADERS, TALKS FOOTBALL WITH IOWA PAPER

More Proof That Liberals Hate Free Speech

American Glob  "As if you needed any. Does free speech include the right to spray paint over messages you don’t like?

"MSNBC and CNN “journalist” Mona Eltahawy thinks so.

Eltahawy, a former Reuters correspondent, has been a recent favorite of CNN and MSNBC’s weekend morning shows to discuss Egypt, and she often smears together the Islamist “right wing” and the American right wing, as she did on Melissa Harris-Perry just 11 days ago [video and transcript below]:

"Via Hot Air and Legal Insurrection."

Mona Eltahawy called a "freedom fighter"

American Thinker: The actual jihad savagery is far worse than conveyed in the ad's comparatively staid language, Mona Eltahawy's raging denial notwithstanding.

Why Mona Eltahawy became a vandal, defaced AFDI pro-freedom ad   "Why would a renowned and respected journalist resort to a juvenile act of vandalism and persist even when confronted? Here's a clue: reading this ABC News report on the arrest, these lines leapt out at me:

"This is non-violent protest, see this America" Eltahawy said in the video as police officers were arresting her. "I'm an Egyptian-American and I refuse hate."

"... now she will be lionized as a hero and martyr by the very people who were shunning her for her Foreign Policy piece: the hate-filled Leftist totalitarians who despise free speech anyway.

"Mona Eltahawy could have been a journalist of integrity, and almost was, for a brief moment. Instead, she is a fascist brownshirt."

But Obama is, like, sooooo cool

LIBERALS CAN’T BREAK 200-YEAR RACISM HABIT

Ann Coulter  "Democrats spent the first century of this country’s existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.

"After fighting the Civil War to continue enslaving black people and then subjecting newly freed black Americans to vicious, humiliating Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan violence, Democrats set about frantically rewriting their own ugly history."

...."You will never see anything so brave as a liberal fighting nonexistent enemies.  

"Liberals drove the entire country crazy with their endless battles against imaginary racists, to make up for their having been AWOL during the real fight over civil rights." (Emphasis mine, TD)

...."My new book, out this week, “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama,” reminds us that nothing good has ever come of Americans capitulating to liberals’ racial bullying, especially not for black people. Never. Don’t make the same mistake again, America."

Talking with Ann Coulter; Racism Dead If Not for Media
"I've long had a theory that the best thing that ever happened to America, ...was the OJ verdict because multiple millions of people watched that verdict being read, and then they watched law students at Howard University and at McDonald's and in stores around the country erupt in cheers for the acquittal of an obviously guilty black celebrity. And that was when white people in America said, “That's it – the white guilt bank has shut down."
Then, Coulter said, along came Obama and America found it was a Jim Crow society all over again, in spite of what your lyin' eyes tell you.

”Coulter discusses Chris Matthew's racialist demagoguery in her book  

While living cheek-by-jowl with the nation’s capital, which happens to be a majority black city, Matthews’s kids managed to go to schools that are probably about 3 percent black. When Matthews had an opportunity to associate with blacks by sending his children to public schools, he chose not to. His obsession with race is all about self-congratulation.

Bakery says no to Joe!

Crumb and Get It - No To Joe (August, 2012) "A small business owner refused to do a photo op with Vice President Joe Biden. Why? Because Chris McMurray works hard at building his own business and disagrees with statements made by President Obama that he didn't do it on his own, statements supported by Joe Biden. It's people like Chris and his wife Kelly that make America great!"    Hat tip to Walt Stier; Santa Maria, CA 

The "Crumb and Get It"website

Hot Air covered the story.  Legend has it that the Secret Service agents agreed with the owner and came back to buy more because of that. TW tried to verify that but could not and that part seems questionable. But it isn't needed to make this a great story and to honor this small businessman, whom one lib site calls a "wingnut". TD is happy to share this title with him if I may.

This is Biden’s own security team; the White House knows who they are, and they’re surely in no mood for new political headaches from the Service after the “unpleasantness” in Colombia.. Seems hard to believe the agents would tempt fate by gladhanding an Obama critic in that environment. High risk, little reward. But I don’t know, anything’s possible.

Have a nice Yom Kippur; Obama snubs Netanyahu on Iran: "My decisions" says he, er, He, " - only what’s right for America"

DEBKAfile  Obama's "comments removed the last hopes Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak may have entertained of cooperation with the US for curtailing Iran’s nuclear designs by military force.
"The US president was crystal clear: By saying he will be ruled solely by American security interests, he showed them that they too were being left to be guided by Israel’s security interests. So forget about red lines for America, he was telling Netanyahu.
"His blunt verging-on-contemptuous dismissal of Israel’s concerns as “noise out there” was not much different from the way Iran’s leaders referred to the Jewish state."

....DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem sources report that Netanyahu is now seriously considering calling off his trip to New York for a speech to the UN General Assembly scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 27. He realizes that by challenging US policy from the UN platform, he would lay himself open to criticism for gratuitous provocation of the president and interference in America’s election campaign weeks before a presidential election.

'THE FORWARD' GOES BACKWARD  Pamela Geller writes: "Good piece over at The Jerusalem Post criticizing the uber-left "Forward" for its biased attacks against our pro-Israel ad." 

"We need The Forward not to go backward" Yisrael Medad, Jerusalem Post

 Over at the left-wing - or is it liberal? - New York Jewish radical weekly, The Forward, where some friends of mine get published,Andrea Palatnik has a report on the ads in the subway stations zeroing in on Jihad. Pamela Geller, also a friend, is pushing back.   It's been termed the "battle of the billboards".

 Her ad in Atlas Shrugs is shown at left.  


Islamic supremacist journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested today after assaulting a defender of freedom who caught her in the act of vandalizing one of the pro-Israel ads shown above in the New York Subway Stations.

Obama's UN speech: the disturbing sounds of appeasement

Hope n Change

"No, slander applies very specifically to the spoken word. Which means B. Hussein's statement isn't directed at (or limited to) editorial criticism of Islam which occurs in video or print...it means that the president of the United States envisions a future with no room for those whodare to say bad things about the Prophet of Islam.

"And it doesn't take much of a logical leap to realize that simply expressing doubt over Muhammed's status as a prophet could be seen as the most unacceptable slander of all."

UPDATED; More on Madonna calling Obama a black Muslim

UK Telegraph says: Pop star Madonna urged Americans to support President Barack Obama during a concert in Washington DC but incorrectly referred to him as a Muslim.
"Madonna said later: "I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim - though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And what if he were?" Also here

UPDATE: Celebrities and Politics by Alan Caruba;  "That the entertainment industry is predominantly liberal is no secret and, if you don’t believe it, the fall season of television shows has its share of homosexual couples with one show called The New Normal. No, it’s not normal and it’s not new. If you are heavily addicted to sexual innuendo and bathroom humor then just tune in CBS, NBC, and ABC. 

"The recent Emmy award show opened with a comedy sketch that included a naked actress (naughty parts blurred out) on the potty. The awards were so politically correct millions of viewers were constipated the following morning." 

How ironic that the celebrities honor Islam, a religion that sees their lifestyles and dreams of beheading them for it.

Not everyone is as impressed with Islam as Madonna
