Sebelius: Yes, we’re double-counting Medicare savings

http://townhall.com/political-cartoons/michaelramirez

Hot Air   "In other words, money can only be used once. Since the Medicare savings is being spent elsewhere on expanded health care coverage, it is not really being employed to extend Medicare solvency. To claim an improvement in Medicare financing is to mislead about the effects of recent legislation."

Rep. King gets increased security from threat the left says doesn't exist

Rick Moran  "This is such a no-brainer issue that the only possible reason to oppose King's hearings is to score political points. There is no earthly reason that Muslims should oppose rooting out radicals in their midst - especially since law enforcement says that either out of fear or anti-Americanism, many ordinary Muslims do not cooperate with the police or FBI.
"I have a feeling this hearing is going to be an eye opener. And that might be why some Muslims are so opposed to having it."

Rep. King

Why Do Islamic Groups Fear Hearings on Islamic Radicalization?  "They have even gone as far as attacking one Muslim leader who has agreed to appear, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, an authentic moderate and American patriot who was given the full Media Slanders treatment last week."

King Hearings Are Overdue  "And those hearings in the 111th* that did focus on “man-caused disasters” were concerned primarily with overreacting to the Deepwater Horizon spill and the missing the point of the fizzled Christmas Day attack (grope-a-dope, anyone?)."
*The Pelosi-Reid all Democrat congress, that is. Never sleep when Democrats are in charge of your protection.

NPR’s Diversity Doublespeak

Heritage  "It’s too bad Schiller doesn’t have the same commitment to ideological diversity. Rather than denying NPR’s obvious liberal bias, she should’ve promised the same robust initiative to address NPR’s other diversity problem."

Juan Williams Reacts To NPR Video: “These People Are So Rude and Condescending”  Video

NPR Round-up  "Earlier today, independent journalist James O’Keefe released his latest undercover investigative videos. In the first video, Senior Vice President of Development of the NPR Foundation, Ron Schiller, is shown discussing a potential donation from a phony Muslim Brotherhood front group set-up by O’Keefe’s team. While discussing the importance of NPR, Mr. Schiller expresses negative personal views on conservatives, the Tea Party, Republicans, Zionists, and Juan Williams, among other topics."

AP Smears Hero O’Keefe – Claims NPR Video Was “Heavily Edited”  "The far left cranks at the Associated Press wasted no time smearing James O’Keefe and the NPR tapes that were released yesterday.
"The AP claims the video was “heavily edited.”"

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller Resigns "The Unions, although in a category by themselves, don't hold a candle to the number of delicately corrupt liberals, known only to themselves as intellectual, a parading group of elitists, who dally to and fro, from non-profit to non-profit, gouging a life of ease with other peoples money, off other peoples problems, whilst bettering the whole of society, fawning over eachother.

"Resignations and defunding may dim the light but we need to douce(sic) the flame."  From the comments to this post.

Al-Qaeda Already Using Wikileaks Material Against Us

editorialcartoonists.com

Pajamas Media  "On page 45 in the fourth issue of Inspire magazine — al Qaeda’s “official” magazine — in a section titled “Advice for Those Who Want to Help Al Malahem Media,” al-Qaeda advises Muslims who want to assist it to send “anything useful from Wikileaks.”

"For those who might discount the usefulness of this request based on a belief that jihadi wannabes cannot get such information to al-Qaeda, you’d be wrong."

Don’t Tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

About.com

Morning Bell  "According to White House chief of staff Bill Daley, the administration may tap into the nation’s oil safety net – the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) – in order to bring down the cost of fuel. Big mistake. While most folks want to pay less at the pump, dipping into our oil reserves is a short-sighted political ploy that papers-over a much bigger, long-term problem: the Obama administration’s continuing refusal to grant America access to its domestic oil resources." Also here.

A crude idea: Tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to ease gas prices  "...President Bill Clinton's election-year use of 30 million barrels in 2000 - prove the rule: It's best to interpret the 1975 law limiting use of the reserve to "severe energy supply interruption" strictly - lest global oil speculators start trading on U.S. gas-price politics along with all the other factors that roil the markets."

Dick Morris' take: Suspend the gas tax  "There is no better way to force Obama and the Democrats to battle for higher taxes than to raise the issue now and push it home."

Peter King and His Hearings: Why Do Liberals Believe in Scrutinizing Conservatives But Not Islamists?

Rep. Pete King

Big Peace  "Since when does simply inquiry result in bigotry? The King hearings focus directly on ideology–not on individuals. These are hearings about a belief system. Thousands of individuals around the world are engaging in acts of terrorism based on a certain set of beliefs. Shouldn’t we try to understand them? These hearings will give members of congress a chance to address the ideas behind radical Islam. As Richard Weaver put it, ”Ideas have consequences.” And Islamist ideas have everything to do with understanding the threat we face today."

Rep. King discusses the radicalization of the Muslim community as demonstrators protest his hearings.   Video.

Flashback 2008: Who Did Nancy Pelosi Blame For High Gas Prices? "2 Oil Men In The White House" (Video)

HotAirPundit "Price at the pump under Barack Obama: When he took office the price was $1.87 a gallon, today it is in the area of $3.55. I wonder if the media will ask Pelosi about her comments in 2008?"

Obama Goes From Blank Slate to Empty Suit

RealClearPolitics  "Mr. Obama has backtracked on many of the campaign promises he made in 2008, such as closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay and imposing no new taxes on the middle class. He has even reneged on his implicit promise to be a racial healer. His administration has been the most racially polarizing since Woodrow Wilson's."

Bill Clinton’s Private Island Rendezvous with Sex-Offender, Teen Girls

Verum Serum   "It’s no secret that Bill Clinton has long been friends with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein has contributed to both Bill and Hillary’s campaigns. But no one knew about the night Bill spent on Epstein’s private Caribbean island with three underage girls until now:"

And this from the UK Daily Mail.

Its just Democrats. Nothing to see here, move on.

NPR execs caught on hidden camera trashing conservatives, sliming Jews

American Thinker  "At the Café Milano lunch, Schiller said he's "very proud of" how NPR fired Juan Williams. "What NPR stood for is non-racist, non-bigoted, straightforward telling of the news and our feeling is that if a person expresses his or her opinion, which anyone is entitled to do in a free society, they are compromised as a journalist," he said. "They can no longer fairly report.""

Politico Whines About, and Whitewashes, Leftist Thuggery Captured on Video

Big Journalism  "They blame FreedomWorks (a Koch-linked organization) and complain that tea party patriots are trained to ask such incendiary questions as, “Who are you?” “Do you want a Constitution?” and “What brought you out here today?”
