Obama's 'Chicago Way' Plunders the Private Sector

Michael Barone "So it's natural for a Chicago Way president to assume that higher taxes and a hugely expensive health care regime will not make a perceptible dent in the nation's private sector economy. There will always be plenty to plunder."....
"The problem with Obama's Chicago Way is that Chicago isn't America. The Chicago Way works locally because there is an America out there that ultimately pays for it. But who will pay for an America run the Chicago Way?"

Ayers, Dorhn helped organize 'peace' flotilla

Rick Moran in AT "Former Weather Underground leaders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported."

AN ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT AMERICA

Neal Boortz "The American Revolution Center discovered:

"More Americans could identify Michael Jackson as the composer of "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" than could identify the Bill of Rights as a body of amendments to the Constitution.

"More than 50 percent of respondents attributed the quote "From each according to his ability to each according to his needs" to either Thomas Paine, George Washington or President Obama. The quote is from Karl Marx, author of "The Communist Manifesto."

"More than a third did not know the century in which the American Revolution took place, and half of respondents believed that either the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation or the War of 1812 occurred before the American Revolution."

You remember these people; they're the ones who left rock concerts to cast votes for Obama.

OBAMA GET[s] TOUGH WITH THE GOP

Nealz Nuze "How about that "no to tax cuts for small businesses" crap? Obama has proposed more new taxes, penalties and regulations on small businesses than presidents stretching back to Johnson! These "tax cuts" he's talking about? Capital gains tax cuts. Isn't that nice? There's only one problem. Small businesses don't pay capital gains taxes. He knows, however, that most Americans don't know that ... so he takes advantage of voter ignorance. One great asset for any politicians is to know what it is his constituents don't know."

Obama hopes oil spill boosts support for climate bill

Washington Post "President Obama tried Wednesday to channel public outrage about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill into support for a climate-change bill, seeking to redefine an issue that threatens to tarnish his presidency."

Did You Plug The Hole With A Blue Dress Yet, Daddy?

Ann Coulter "Indeed, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Tuesday, only 52 percent of Hispanics oppose the law, while 37 percent support it. In other words, more Hispanics support the Arizona law (37 percent) than voted for John McCain (31 percent) -– which is the strongest argument for amnesty I've heard in my entire life."....
"...So yeah, I know it sounds fishy, but if Bill Clinton says this is how it happened, that's good enough for me. Why, Clinton hasn't lied under oath in front of a federal grand jury for more than a decade. Incidentally, why do so many Bill Clinton stories end with the words "nothing improper happened"? As I recall, the definition of "proper" gets pretty elastic when you're talking about Bill Clinton."

A world without America

Bookworm Room "I first ran this YouTube video three years ago, when Barack Obama, our nation’s first anti-American president, was still a theory, not a fact. It bears watching now, as we witness Obama’s efforts to bring about a world without America:"...

The Israeli flotilla raid; point/ counterpoint

Flotilla Incident — Constructive Criticism   Max Boot  "Three more ships are being readied for another Gaza flotilla. If and when they do sail, I trust that the Israeli government will learn from experience and not walk into another trap set by its enemies"
RE: Constructive Criticism John Podhoretz  "The defense of Israel these past few days on CONTENTIONS isn’t intended to quell discussion of what might have gone wrong; rather, it is, as it always is, to refute the constant insistence that any time Israel acts in its own defense it is engaged in immoral action rather than in the vital task of preserving the security of its people."

'Humanitarion peace acivists' riot in airport before deportation

Shawarma Mayor "Thirteen female European activists, arrested for their participation in the flotilla to Gaza, attacked Immigration Authority officers escorting them to the airport for their deportation, the Interior Ministry reported Wednesday."....
"Israelis today feel now more than ever isolated and betrayed. The fact that 65% of American public support Israel is not heard nor felt (or reported). Israelis feel under a siege of global hate. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!"

The Chicago Tribune gets it right: "The more we learn about this incident, though, the more it looks like a setup designed to provoke or embarrass Israel."

Moral Courage and Leadership: Lt Colonel Allen West on Israel

Atlas Shrugs "Statement by Republican 22nd Congressional Candidate Allen West on Situation in Israel":


"Recent developments in the State of Israel are disturbing, and unfortunately predictable. Since 2009, the Obama Administration has shown an unprecedented disregard for the sovereignty of the State of Israel - America's strongest ally in the world. Whether browbeating Israel for building homes in their rightful capitol, or disrespecting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, President Obama has clearly demonstrated that he is no friend of the Jewish State.

So How About That Blockade?

Michael J. Totten "Hamas has a relatively tiny arsenal of crude rockets, but if the Gaza Strip were not under military blockade, it could acquire whatever weapons Syria and Iran felt like sending by ship. Gaza could bristle with as many destructive projectiles as Hezbollah has. Food and medicines are allowed into the Strip already, so the most significant difference between Gaza now and a Gaza without a blockade will be the importation of weapons and war material."

Useful Idiots Condemn Israel

Legal Insurrection  "The flotilla was organized by the Islamist government in Turkey to aid Hamas with the goal of opening up shipping channels for Turkey's new friend, Iran, to ship more and better weapons as it is doing to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iran is busy turning Lebanon and Syria into one large missile launching pad against Israel, and a southern base in Gaza will complete the encirclement of Israel for the coming crisis over Iran's nuclear program. The Europeans on the ships were cover, and the placement of an 18-month old child on these ships was the utmost cynical use of a human shield."
