Liberals Leave The Reservation

 Heritage  "Any piece of legislation must be both constitutional and improve the condition of the American people. When President Obama and Congressional Republicans first announced their tax deal early last week, our reaction was to hold our noses against its bad elements; on balance, we thought the extension of the current tax rates was laudable. Now, however, the full text of the bill has been released and we see all the bad things that were in the original deal. Meanwhile, liberals in Congress are walking away even from that deal, and are holding the country hostage to their hatred of those they call “the rich.”"

US drops Palestinian-Israeli track, formulates new Turkey-Iran deal

DEBKAfile  "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had the thankless task of writing finis on the Obama administration's intense two-year effort to persuade Israelis and Palestinians to discuss peace."....
"DEBKAfile's Washington sources disclose that what she had in mind was an alternative path which still remains to be marked out: It would move Middle East peacemaking out of the deadlocked US-Palestinian-Israeli track and introduce a new set of prime movers with the long-term goal of a regional peace settlement."

Does the Muslim World Have Political Cartoons?

Slate  "Tehran is among the most aggressive regimes when it comes to the censorship of political cartoons."....
"In 2000, Nikahang Kowsar drew another Ayatollah who had repeatedly attacked the press as a crocodile squeezing the life out of a journalist. While Kowsar insisted to authorities that the crocodile wasn't intended to represent any individual, the Ayatollah's name (Mesbah) rhymed with the Persian word for crocodile (Temsah). Kowsar spent seven days in Tehran's infamous Evin prison, and has since fled to Canada."

 NIKAHANG KOWSAR  writes: "As a political cartoonist forced to leave the country in 2003 after receiving a death threat, I should probably hate the rulers in Iran. Though I am not a big fan, I love them for all of their rich contributions to material for me and my colleagues. Truly, how can I hate the people who have kept my cartooning spirit alive?"  Here his work depicts an Iranian's view of Obama's outreach to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:

Bill Takes the Podium

Thomas Lifson  "But using his wife's anger and the need to party, was a really an awful excuse for a man charged with the heavy responsibility of guiding the ship of state. He looks, quite frankly, whipped."

[Senator Kit] Bond Says Obama Worst of Presidents He Served Under

Weasel Zippers photo

Kansas City Star  "He said the president’s economic policies and health care reform plan were contributing to the soaring budget deficit and hurting business expansion.
"“Right now, they’re being killed by Obama’s liberal policies,” he said. “Everybody’s saying small business is not hiring because of the uncertainty.”
"Bond said his final two years in the Senate also had been the most partisan he had ever experienced.
"“It’s because the Republicans were absolutely shut out,” Bond argued. “We had better solutions for all the problems the country was facing, but we were not able to offer those.”"

President Obama and 2012 "If President Obama decides not to seek re-election, who should be the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2012?

"The overwhelming favorite is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who received 68.4% of votes cast. She received more votes than all other names combined. The only other Democrats who received more than 3% of votes cast were former Vermont Governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean (5.1%) and recently defeated Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold (3.4%)."

Decline Haunting Obama, America   "Obama should be even more insistent on using the contest with China as a prod, much as John F. Kennedy used competition with the Soviet Union to "get the country moving again" domestically as well as overseas."

Hamas video: Allah, kill Christians and Jews "to the last one"

Palestinian Media Watch  "A video on official Hamas TV calls for Allah to kill Jews, Christians, Communists and their supporters. The video asks Allah to "count them and kill them to the last one, and don't leave even one.""
And these people are the darlings of the left, also known as "useful idiots".

Dallas Pastor Responds to 'GrinchAlert' Controversy

The Christian Post ""I realize saying 'Merry Christmas' isn't going to get anyone into heaven," said Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas after his sermon on Sunday. "But I believe our nation overall is going to be healthier as a nation with a public acknowledgment of God than we are if we allow the secularists, the atheists, the infidels to remove any mention of God from our public arena and that's why I'm doing this.""  Via The Freedomist.

Like it or Not: Mexico is America’s Next Afghanistan

RedState  "With the exception of, perhaps, Texas governor Rick Perry, no public official wants to publicly admit an obvious fact: The United States of America will likely be forced to invade Mexico. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.  The question then becomes: What to do with Mexico after we invade it and wipe out the drug cartels (as much as can be). "  We can't get rid of our own drug gangs. Four words: Ay see ell you.

Wikileaks Releases a US list of High Value terror targets

Atlas Shrugs "Here again, we must question Obama. He knew this was coming. He stood by during three previous classified documents dumps and did nothing. And now this. What is being done to prosecute those who were responsible for the gargantuan leak? Assange is the public face, no doubt. But traitors in our midst, in our State Department and Department of Defense, etc., made this happen."

The Legal Case against WikiLeaks  "This all apparently came out through the workings of a twenty-three-year-old Army private, Bradley Manning, who had access to this secret material. Why should a military analyst have access to so many diplomatic cables having nothing to do with national security?" 

John B. Bellinger III, Adjunct Senior Fellow for International and National Security Law

 

The President Shouldn’t Listen to Counsels of Despair on Afghanistan

Max Boot  "Once progress on the ground is further along, it is likely that elements of the Taliban will be eager to stop fighting. At that point, peace talks may produce some results. But that time is not now. Which is why the authors of the open letter are so far off base when they call on President Obama “to sanction and support a direct dialogue and negotiation with the Afghan Taliban leadership residing in Pakistan.” "

I Love It When PDS Sufferers Get Humiliated

Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion  "Sorry Mr. Shaw, you've been punked by the mainstream media and your own PDS.
"And while you're at it, how about apologizing for this sentence in your post: "the multiple shots of Sarah sanitizing and washing her hands suggests the former Gov is primarily concerned, above all humanitarian else, about catching something."
"Unless you, of course, want to visit a cholera camp and not wash your hands. That I'd like to see."
