Guess Who's Coming to Your House!

American Thinker "Do you home-school your kids? Take care. Members of Congress who have tried to abolish home-schooling are big backers of this health care bill. Do you wonder why?"...."One thing is clear: For life and liberty, we must defeat ObamaCare. Call your U.S. senators and representatives now (202.224.3121). Tell them to vote NO on Obamacare. " Ken Blackwell is a senior fellow at the Family Research Council.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PRESIDENT ACT THIS WAY BEFORE?

Neal Boortz "...let' me just share a few of the points in Alinskey's (sp) book and you make your own determination as to whether or not Obama has learned his "Rules for Radicals" lessons well: "An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent .." "Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty ..." "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon ..." "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."Now ... does it seem to any of you that Obama's demonization of the health insurance companies might be an attempt to "stir up dissatisfaction and discontent?""

Chief Justice Roberts: Obama’s Attack on the Supreme Court at SOTU Was “Very Troubling” (Video)

"Chief Justice Roberts: “The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling. And, it does cause me to think if it makes sense for us to be there.” "

60% Say Their Kids’ Textbooks Place Political Correctness Above Accuracy

Free Republic "Again, those with children currently in elementary or secondary school are even more skeptical. Just 28% think most school textbooks portray U.S. history accurately, while nearly half (49%) say they do not. Twenty-three percent (23%) aren’t sure. In July 2008, 75% of Americans said they were proud of their country’s history. In late November of that year, 72% said Americans were too concerned about being politically correct. "

New 'gang' gathering on energy?

Politico "In opening remarks, according to Senators in attendance, President Obama took the idea of an energy-only bill – the preferred approach of moderate Democrats – off the table, saying he wanted a “comprehensive” bill that includes a cap on greenhouse gas emissions. “He wants to do it this year, that’s for sure,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) ".... "Timing is another concern: moderate Democrats remain concerns about the political risk of taking up a potentially controversal piece of legislation that they fear will raise electricity rates close to the midterm elections."Via Heritage

With Friends Like These Obama Better Watch Out!

Progress in pressure on Iran

Shawarma Mayor "Should we give Obama credit for this progress? I would definitely like to."...."The largest oil trader in the world, Vitol, said Monday it had stopped dealing with Iran, following a report that traders were pulling out of the country as sanctions and US pressure took their toll."

Rush Interviews Karl Rove on His New Book

Rush Limbaugh.com Rush asks Karl Rove: "You were shocked that Ted Kennedy would go after Alito. None of us really were. Were you shocked when they came after you on the Valerie Plame stuff? I mean, at what point did you realize that this was not just the normal ebb and flow of Democrats and Republicans sharing power, that they were out to destroy you and everybody in the administration?"

Tom Hanks: America Wants to ‘Annihilate’ Terrorists Because ‘They’re Different’

Newsbusters "But when it comes to leftist Hollywood, whenever Tinseltown and America meet, you have to brace yourself for it — and by “it” I mean the leftist sucker punch. Throughout, Hanks sounds perfectly reasonable, intelligent and even patriotic for a couple of thousand words. But of course that’s just the lure to get us on his side before we’re walloped with this left cross..."

Help Slate set some ground rules for cell phone etiquette.

Slate "...the key consideration is the phone's potential for distraction: Is it taking you away from the people around you? If so, put it away. I find it very difficult to concentrate on pretty much anything else while I'm engaged with my digital device. That's why I won't text at the dinner table but I will on the couch in front of the television: If you're already distracted by the TV, the phone isn't changing anything."

Marc Thiessen on Keep America Safe

Max Boot "...By focusing so much on the lower-level lawyers, Keep America Safe is missing the real problem. That starts at the top with Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama, who seem willing to give terrorist defendants more rights than they received under the Bush administration — and more rights than most Americans think they deserve. I would suggest keeping the focus on Obama and Holder, not on underlings who are not the ultimate decision-makers here."

No Allies — But Plenty of Enemies

Victor Davis Hanson "All that raises the question of what exactly are advantages these days of being a friend of the U.S., when neutrals and enemies garner as much of our sympathies?".... "An idealistic America may now decide that it does not want or need special allies like Britain. But that diffidence will eventually mean we have more enemies than ever — as the watching world makes the necessary adjustments and joins those who unabashedly promise them support and protection."
