Farrakhan defends Gaddafi

Rick Moran  "Farrakhan gave several reasons why the U.S. lacks the moral authority to intervene in the Libyan conflict, including the deaths of black people at the hands of law enforcement during the Rodney King protests in 1991 and the unhealthy food that the federal government allows into the marketplace."
That's what he said, I kid you not.

Obama and Libya: The professor’s war

Charles Krauthammer  "In any case, for Obama, military objectives take a back seat to diplomatic appearances. The president is obsessed with pretending that we are not running the operation — a dismaying expression of Obama’s view that his country is so tainted by its various sins that it lacks the moral legitimacy to . . . what? Save Third World people from massacre?
"Obama seems equally obsessed with handing off the lead role. Hand off to whom? NATO? Quarreling amid Turkish resistance (see above), NATO still can’t agree on taking over command of the airstrike campaign, which is what has kept the Libyan rebels alive."

The Debt Crisis and Cynicism

Stan Guthrie  in Breakpoint  " Political observers say that Obama may be setting up Republicans to put forward an austerity budget—and then punish them as hard-hearted grinches in 2012, figuring voters aren’t really serious about the debt crisis after all.
"If we fall for our president’s cynical ploy, then the impending fiscal and moral disaster will make the deep and painful recession we are experiencing now look like a pothole."

WHICH IS THE TRUE "APARTHEID" STATE, ISRAEL OR FATAH CONTROLLED SAMARIA AND HAMAS CONTROLLED GAZA?

Astute Blogger  "Judea and Samaria have been known by these names for unbroken centuries, and were registered as such on official documents and maps, by international institutions and in authoritative reference books right up to about 1950. When the correct names became a problem for Palestinian Arabs trying to make their newly-minted claim on the land, it somehow became "politically correct" to use "West Bank" or "occupied territories" instead of the historically accurate names Judea and Samaria."





















If Media Matters has their way, who will there be to speak for Israel in America?

Understanding the third terror war

Caroline Glick  "The Palestinians recognize that they don't need to pretend to be good to get Europe to support them. After the people of Europe have been brainwashed by their media and intimidated by the Muslim communities, they have developed a Pavlovian response regarding Israel whereby every mention of Israel makes them hate it more. It doesn't matter if the story is about the massacre of Israeli children or the bombing of synagogues and nursery schools. They know that Israel is the guilty party and expect their governments to punish it."

Former Klansman Seeks Political Office in Florida…as a Democrat

The Blaze via Free Republic: "Not only was Rogers a Klansman, but he was a leader in the United Klans of America, which was arguably the most violent of the Klan organizations says Florida local and Klan history expert Darryl Paulson:"
Paulson, a USF professor, who is an expert in the Klan, points to a case in which two Klansman with the United Klans of America were convicted of attacking 19-year-old Michael Donald .
John Paul Rogers, a 70-year old Floridian, wants to run for mayor of a small
 Florida town called Lake Wales. Just one problem: the democratic mayoral
candidate is a former Klansman. Here he is at a 1977 KKK rally in Tallahassee:

Coordinated Terrorist Attacks on Global Energy Infrastructure: Modeling the Risks

Insider Online  The abstract states in part: "Careful implementation of select policies could limit the economic damage, but implementation of misguided policies could easily make such a crisis even worse. The United States and its allies would need to exercise decisive and effective leadership to deal with the crisis, but this requires the U.S. to develop an assertive international energy policy, preferably before such a crisis."

Good luck with all that.


Cut the fat! No! Wait!

Media Matters Plans "Guerrilla Warfare and Sabotage” on Fox News And Conservative Websites

Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion  "The attacks will be very personal, extending not just to Fox News coverage (which is fair game for criticism) but trying to dig up dirt on Fox News executives:"
Media Matters, he said, is also conducting “opposition research” on a dozen or so “mid- and senior-level execs and producers,” a campaign style move that he and Brock said would simply involve recording their public appearances and digging into public records associated with them.
"But it doesn't stop at Fox News. Media Matters also plans to attack conservative websites:"

I fear for all those conservatives who stand against Obama and the Democrats. They already have a site dedicated to destroying Darrel Issa and the political atmosphere is becoming toxic for all conservatives by design of the left.  A deep darkness appears to have descended on political discourse in this nation. Tunnel Dweller.

Media Matters  See for yourself what they are doing.

From Politico : Media Matters' war against Fox  "The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as political organizations and the “nerve center” of the conservative movement."

President Obama’s weak message to Latin America

Washington Post editorial!  "Most curious was Mr. Obama’s decision to simply ignore the fact that in large parts of Latin America, the “shared values” that he said bind the hemisphere are being trampled. In a speech directed to the region that he delivered in Santiago, the president declared that “today, Latin America is democratic” — even though rulers in a number of countries are shutting down media, eliminating judicial independence and rigging elections. He said “Latin America is contributing to global prosperity and security,” even though many of those same rulers are forging ties with Iran and have been defending the regime of Libya’s Moammar Gaddafi."




Dem Senator Lautenberg: Republicans Don’t Deserve Freedom’s of Constitution

LifeNews
Democrat dept. of Civility "“Planned Parenthood is under attack by Tea Party Republicans who have put their extremist ideology above women’s health,” Lautenberg said while pro-life advocates who counterprotested shouted, “Shame on you, Lautenberg.”
"The pro-abortion New Jersey senator fired back: “These people (referring to the pro-life advocates) don’t deserve the freedoms in the Constitution.”
"Then, as an afterthought, he said, “but we’ll give it to them anyway.”
"The comment is coming under heavy criticism from Marie Tasy, the director of New Jersey Right to Life."

Foreign Policy as Wishful Thinking

Bruce S. Thornton  "The current military intervention in Libya by the West has been marketed with the claim that its purpose, as French President Sarkozy put it, is “to protect the civilian population from the murderous madness of a regime that has forfeited all claim to legitimacy.” Behind this humanitarian idealism, however, lurk a host of questions and dangers, reflecting wishful thinking rather than a prudent foreign policy."

In six weeks, Obama fails miserably at what Bush père did so very well in one  "And in a straight-forward but powerful speech to America and the world on the evening of August 8, he laid out exactly what he had done, was doing, and promised to do about Saddam's invasion of Kuwait.
"It was an expanded version of the same message he'd had since his very first public statements on the crisis: "This will not stand." No bluster, nothing grand, and certainly no diplomatic double-speak, but just the kind of grim and absolutely credible determination the American men of his generation were known for."
