Democrat contempt for the TEA Party

From “Astro Turf” to “Terrorists”?  "As reported by POLITICO on Monday, Vice-President Joe Biden behind closed doors described tea party Republicans as having acted like “terrorists.” Biden later told CBS News, “I did not use the terrorism word.”
"In any case, the Obama administration has held the tea party movement in utter contempt since its inception, as shown by this timeline of White House statements dating from mid-April 2009:"...

Victor Davis Hanson: Snapshot of a Sick Society

Victor Davis Hanson    "You see, it is characteristic of a morally bankrupt society to be absorbed with the evil living without much remembrance of the more noble dead. The former gang member and his family by all means must not be embarrassed; the dead woman is reduced to being “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” "




Obama urban legends, truth or fiction?

The TW did a search of the two main sites for chasing down rumors about President Obama. Here is the most recent information available that we have to trust to be unbiased:

Snopes.com has 269 that they research, 100 on two pages and 69 on the third.

Truth or Fiction.com  covers 175.

By the way, this is what both sites have covering the president's Social Security number:
Truthorfiction has photocopies of documents; 
Snopes has this, this,and this .

We get many juicy bits of info in our email that we just know will bring down this administration so we forward it on. Much turns out to be so idiotic that it damages our own reputation.
There are many solid reasons we can cite that Barack Obama should not have been elected president; let's be sure when we cite them that they cannot be laughed at as ignorant gossip.

Happy Birthday, President Obama

Blame the Washington Bureaucracy for High Gas Prices

Heritage  "Americans are paying more for gasoline today than they were six weeks ago when President Obama released 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In the Gulf of Mexico, meanwhile, 10 drilling rigs — more than one-third of the fleet — have left on Obama’s watch.
"This incomprehensible energy policy is not only costing Americans more money at the pump. Bureaucratic delays in Washington are also stunting job growth and adding to the budget deficit."

Fighting Grassroots Terrorism: How Local Vigilance Can Help

STRATFOR   ...."On July 27, 2011, an alert clerk at a gun store in Killeen, Texas, called the local police after a man who came into the store to buy smokeless powder exhibited an unusual demeanor. They located the individual and after questioning him learned he was planning to detonate an improvised explosive device and conduct an armed assault against a local Killeen restaurant popular with soldiers from nearby Fort Hood. The clerk’s situational awareness and his decision to call the police likely saved many lives."

"Each of these attacks and attempted attacks was preceded by “precursor conduct,” legally protected actions like chatting on the Internet or purchasing legal chemicals or applying for a visa, that combined with other information might have tipped off law enforcement agents to the intended act of terrorism."

How To Spot an American Terrorist *DHS Video* "A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies "

Media: Halliburton Paid Dick Cheney to Commit Rape in Iran

Ann Coulter  ...."And then a few weeks ago, the Times ran a microscopic, one-paragraph Associated Press story on page 13 of a Saturday paper, reporting that a jury looked at the facts and found that ... Jones made the whole story up.
"Maybe the Republican senators should have sponsored a no-false-rape-allegation bill for defense contractor employees.
"When the time came to put up or shut up, Jones' "gang-rape" claim simply disappeared. DNA evidence showed she'd had sex with one only man, and he claimed it was consensual."

Air Force Suspends Christian-Themed Ethics Training Program Over Bible Passages

Fox News  "The Air Force has suspended a course that was taught by chaplains for more than 20 years because the material included Bible passages.
"The course, called “Christian Just War Theory” was taught by chaplains at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., and used Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to show missile launch officers that it can be moral to go to war.
"But the watchdog group, Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the course violated the constitutional separation of church and state and filed a complaint last Wednesday on behalf of 31 missile launch officers – both instructors and students."

Poor are not poor because rich are rich

Star Parker "The idea of allowing investment in a personal retirement account rather than paying the Social Security payroll tax would be a boon to building black wealth.
"But when President Bush suggested the personal retirement account idea, NAACP chairman Julian Bond said this was asking blacks "to play the lottery with their future."
"A life of government guarantees and controls is not a formula for building wealth. Freedom and capital markets are. Blacks need to decide which they want.
"And entrepreneurship must become part of black culture. Blacks need to get that poor people are not poor because rich people are rich.
"The formula for more black wealth: less government, more ownership and initiative."

The Republicans did it!
