Video and updateadded: Elizabeth Warren; why the left should be feared

Warren

Elizabeth Warren: Eloquent Tunnel Vision  "Fairness, not results, means everything, even if that means less for everyone. This thinking is selfish, myopic and self-defeating, and does nothing to increase productivity or the standard of living for all of us, including those Warren is attempting to serve."

More liberals espousing the same bankrupt economics that brought the Soviet bloc seven decades of gloom and despair. I was not Joe the Plumber; I was someone who would have worked for Joe the Plumber and my welfare would have rested in Joe's economic well-being. Liberals imposing "fairness" on Joe would have sent chills up our family's necks. We would begin spending less and saving our money to help us in our next period of unemployment. TD.

This is the Democrat Party of today; hear and see her for yourself:

Elizabeth Warren’s Piffle   "She argued that these goods are things “the rest of us paid for,” the “rest of us did.” When it comes to federal income taxes — the focus of the current debate — this isn’t right. About half the country doesn’t pay them, and the top 10 percent pays about 70 percent. Insofar as those taxes fund Warren’s public goods, her rich industrialist disproportionately contributes already." Rich Lowry.


Charles Krauthammer  Return of the Real Obama  "A most revealing window into our president’s political core: To impose a tax that actually impoverishes our communal bank account (the U.S. Treasury) is ridiculous. It is nothing but punitive. It benefits no one — not the rich, not the poor, not the government. For Obama, however, it brings fairness, which is priceless."

Oops. Far Left Loon Elizabeth Warren Made $192,722 Not the $64,268 She Declared

All you could ever want to read on Elizabeth Warren here.  Maybe more.

Obama at the UN: Rhetoric and Reality

Pajamas Media ; Obama has lacked any real strategy and relied instead on rhetoric in approaching the Israel-Palestinian question

"President Obama’s UN speech marked the culmination of perhaps the most counter-productive American foreign policy in memory. A president who came into office with a Palestinian state as one of his top priorities, criticizing his predecessor for not having devoted greater attention to it, was still trying after nearly three years simply to get negotiations started; he had accomplished the unusual feat of alienating both Israelis and Palestinians in the process; he had diminished his own stature and reduced the influence of the United States in the region; and he ended up faced with having to veto a Palestinian state."

These were all the errors of an inexperienced amateur. Obama has lowered the world's opinion not only of the office of the American president but- I am afraid-of the American people who chose this pop-culture figure to be our president. This man was foisted upon us by academia, celebrities, PC media and check stand magazines. At the end of a "Law & Order" episode as DA McCoy exited a press conference a voice from the crowd called, "Will you be in the Obama Administration?" 
Watching television has become like sitting on the poop deck of a ship of fools.  TD

 Palestinians Protest Over Obama's UN Speech  "Also in response to Obama's speech, the Palestinian workers union said it was planning to issue a call for rallies to take place after the main weekly Muslim prayers on Friday outside U.S. embassies across the Arab world."

 Stop Blaming Israeli-Palestinian Conflict for Region’s Turbulence
"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is just one factor among many in the region’s turbulence, and rarely is it the most important one. But it seems no amount of evidence will ever convince your average Western liberal of that."

American Thinker: New York Times Doing What They Do Best on Obama's U.N. Speech  "As to the real purpose of the president's speech -- well, it's just a balancing act between two irreconcilables: "support for democratic movements" in the region "against support for Israel." No mention that by supporting Israel, Obama is throwing his weight behind a Middle Eastern nation that was democratic from Day One of its founding. Indeed, the Arab democratic movement is really trying to catch up with Israel's solid democratic values. There's a perfect compatibility -- not an incompatibility -- between Israel and the Arab democratic movement. The Israelis already have what the Arab revolutionaries say they want to achieve."

Media Ignore Palestinian Talk of No Jews Allowed in Palestinian State 

He was most specific on July 28, 2010, when, in an uber-compromising mood, he intoned: "I'm willing to agree to a thrid party that would supervise the [possible future Israeli-Palestinian] agreement, such as NATO forces, but I would not agree to having Jews among the NATO forces, or that there will live among us even a single Israeli on Palestinian land."  Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

Mitt Romney & Norman Coleman: Mistakes That Led to the Palestinian Statehood Bid, and How to Fix Them  "Unfortunately, the road was paved largely by a series of mistakes and miscalculations by President Obama. He and his administration have badly misunderstood the dynamics of the region. Instead of fostering stability and security, they have diminished U.S. authority and painted our ally Israel into a corner."
....
"But beyond the diplomacy, we need to draw some lessons from the past three years of Obama’s presidency. A first lesson is that the United States needs a president who will not be a fair-weather friend of Israel. President Obama has shamefully broken with longstanding American traditions in distancing the United States from Israel, a fellow democracy and a beacon of freedom in the Middle East."

About the Fox/Google Republican debates

Former VP Dick Cheney Weighs in on the Palestinian Statehood Gambit, Obama and Perry

A few thoughts from JustOneMinute.

Romney is Running Rings Around Perry  "I hope Governor Rick Perry enjoyed his six-week run as the front runner of the GOP field, because it’s now over."  More on Perry here.
But just remember that Perry is the choice of the people of Texas; Romney is the choice of the people of Massachusetts. Shouldn't that scare conservatives just a bit?

The Cheat Sheet, September 23: You Go with the Candidates You Have… "Nine (!) candidates sparred last night in Orlando, in the FoxNews/Google (!) debate. Reactions here, here, here, and here. There are just a few months before the Iowa caucuses, so this is pretty much the field we’re faced with. We’re a tad pessimistic, but your mileage may vary." Numerous other links provided in this article.

It's become Romney, Perry and seven others

Can Perry Compete at This Level?  "The issue isn’t just that his performance was weak last night; it’s that he hasn’t shown improvement since his first time on stage. The Reagan debate should have been a massive wakeup call that he needed to buckle down. And after CNN/Tea Party Express, he should have dropped everything and made debate prep his #1 priority."

Gary WHO? The Best Line of the Night  "At the GOP debate, underdog candidate Gary Johnson finally gets a moment in the spotlight—and seizes it." Did he get his line from Rush Limbaugh?



Rick Perry: DonkeyHotey



American Thinker: NH Poll shows Perry falling, Romney surging  "Meanwhile, Perry tops Romney in a new Florida poll 28-22. These two polls reveal the conundrum for GOP voters; Romney runs well in the north but doesn't excite southern conservatives. Perry doesn't run as well in the north but would energize the conservative base in the south. Either one could beat Obama, although at the moment, independents prefer Romney."



Neal Boortz on the Debate:  "So that brings us back to Mitt Romney. I think at this point, it is his to lose. But what do I know? I’ve only been observing these elections for 40+ years on the radio."

More here.



Mitt Romney co-wrote this article on Obama's mideast failures I'm still very unsure of Romney and his changing of positions, so this post is not a campaign for the man. This merely reflects the gist of opinion lately, but as you can see below, not all are enthused with Romney. TD



Romney's weaknesses:


Mitt Romney: DonkeyHotey



Mitt Romney's Achilles' Heel "Although Mitt Romney has defended RomneyCare as a fitting solution to the medical insurance problem in Massachusetts, he has yet to face another issue which may very well be his Achilles' heel and make his nomination impossible. That is his support of gay marriage and the gay agenda in the schools of Massachusetts."

The Issue with Romney is the Issues  "A few of highlights from Romney’s record showing just how unfriendly he has been over the years to the ideas the tea party holds dear (links and details further below):  Details in the article.

NRO Symposium: Assessing the GOP presidential candidates’ performances. "Thursday night saw another debate among the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. As is customary, National Review Online collected thoughts from a post-debate response team."
More listed here.  Assuming you trust Google, which I believe would reflect poorly on any Republican candidate.

Ground zero Islamic center opens doors

CBS News  "The developer of an Islamic cultural center that opened Wednesday evening near the site of the terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center says the biggest error on the project was not involving the families of 9/11 victims from the start."

Syed R. Mahmood; A Muslim's commentary on the building of the Ground Zero mosque
Judge this man's statements for yourself.  He mentions that Muslims were slaves in America but we find they were not Arabs, but blacks.
Sources reporting the first nation to recognize the USA:

1. The first nation to recognize U.S.A. was France at December 17, 1777.
2. The Nation-State of Dubrovnik officially recognized the United States in 1776, and was the first to send merchant marine vessels into New York Harbor. 3.Wikipedia claims it to be Morocco  as do numerous other sites that all refer back to Wikipedia.

Syed R. Mahmood is the founder and President of American Institute of International Studies and a former Republican Congressional Candidate from district 13 in the 2002 election.

The Democrat press: Obama’s Predictable Scandals; The media can no longer shield Obama from scrutiny:

Victor Davis Hanson:  "In this world of liberal exemption, a suspect Dick Cheney conspires with an evil Halliburton; but liberal financiers who donated to Barack Obama to ensure progressive change can’t really want unwarranted insider profits from a Solyndra or a LightSquared. We are supposed to be outraged by recent lurid revelations that yokels like non-presidential candidate Sarah Palin supposedly long ago in her youth once tried coke; when Barack Obama confessed in print that he did so rather routinely...."

Journalists help left attack right-wing politicians in most despicable ways.  "It's almost a party game to list the top conservatives and describe how the media and left are depicting them. But it's no game to candidates. Prominent media outlets are trying to sabotage every viable conservative opponent to Obama."

MSNBC's Melvin Tees Up Ron Howard, Jane Lynch to Lend Support to Obama Tax Hike
"Both of them are liberals who support Obama and have given to Democrats in the past, so their answers were hardly surprising."

Victor Davis Hanson:  Obama Becomes the Fall Guy  "In response, the Left needs a sacrificial lamb. So it has nonsensically turned with a fury on Obama as if he were culpable for pushing through the Left’s own agenda. If Democrats do not blame the public’s anger on their once-beloved messenger, then they are left only with their message itself. And that is something they simply cannot accept."

Obama the world leader

 Daily Caller:  UN debacle another blow to Obama Doctrine  
  "Today the Palestinians will poke President Obama in the eye with his Nobel Peace Prize. And he has no one to blame but himself.
"Even before Mr. Obama walked the red carpet in Oslo, he believed he was his own best foreign policy advisor — and he knew how he wanted to manage the world."....
"Here, in a nutshell, is the Obama Doctrine:"....     James Carafano

Barack's Presidential Protocol Bloopers  "Barack Obama has bowed to the wrong people, forgotten to put his hand over his heart for the national anthem, and snuck out of the White House without the press corps to go to his daughter's soccer game. The Commander-in-Chief shook hands with a Marine while boarding Marine One, and he met with the Dalai Lama against China's objections and then had the holy man leave out the back entrance, in the dead of winter, shod in flip-flops, past questionably stained snow and garbage bags full of rotting potato peels." Jeannie DeAngelis

All true; Obama is pretty inept on the world stage with consequences both comic and tragic. But I'm reluctant to place as much emphasis on the waving group photo as others do. For one thing, I doubt it is the formal portrait because many were joking around and out of position. If you see the video of the session, Obama's wave was a quick up and down interaction with someone off camera.
I'd say let it go; there are enough serious issues with Mr. Obama not to have us dismissed as trivial gossipers. Lets not be Rosie O'Donnells of the right.  TD

Jews, Muslims and Obama

Why Won’t Liberals Listen to Reason?  "The left believes that a clever elite can fix all the world’s problems; conservatives accept that human error can lead to disastrous outcomes. Liberals fancy themselves rational in contrast to conservatives’ dour acknowledgment of tradition and tragedy. Why, then, is the left so impossibly, stubbornly, counter-factually dense when it comes to the state of Israel (among other matters)?"  David P. Goldman

New York Magazine

” …and everybody hates the Jews!” 
"It’s all Bush’s fault. Still.
So I’m still sensing panic at the White House over the NY09 loss last week. My friend Rich Baehr is, I think, too optimistic when he argues that the GOP could capture its biggest share of the Jewish vote since Eisenhower. But it’s safe to say that Jewish voters — and Jewish donors — won’t come out in force in 2012 like they did in for Obama in 2008.
With the economy still in the tank, Obama’s reelection strategy rests on twin pillars:

• Demonize the opposition.
• Turn out the base.....

"The New York cover is just the first of many attempts by the Complicit Media and the White House to shore up the Jewish vote. It remains to be seen if it will work."

Anybody out there still believe the press does not shill for Obama? Then read this.

American Thinker; Obama's long journey on the road to Zionism  "Whatever Obama's motives may have been for deviating so strikingly from past pronouncements -- and skeptics immediately will point to his reelection needs -- what matters more are the worlds of a U.S. president and where and how he positions America on the world stage.
And on that global stage in New York, the world indeed heard a "new" Obama."

Obama Falling Short on Israel  "Now is not the time for President Obama to turn his back on the region’s strongest democracy. Instead, the United States should reaffirm its commitment to strengthening its alliance with Israel and remain strong in the face of U.N. action designed to embarrass the U.S. and weaken the peace process."

DNC Chief Wasserman Schultz: Jews Will Fall In Line And Vote For Obama… "“Overwhelmingly Jewish voters support President Obama and his policies,” Schultz said. “And the Israeli leadership consistently, before yesterday and including yesterday have said that President Obama has been an unshakable ally of Israel.”"

A Few Words of Sense about Obama’s Latest Nonsense 

The article's Alpha: "Another week, another fake plan from President Obama to cut the deficit. Here’s the outline, courtesy of the AP:
...
And its Omega: "This isn’t a credible plan. This is yet another soak-the-rich/class-warfare scheme aimed solely at securing Obama’s reelection."  Stephen Green

Neal Boortz: "...the “fair share” term is all you need to understand that this is a class warfare campaign."   "How can people forget that Obama increased government spending by more than 25% in his first two and one-half years?  Just how does he get away with this?  He increases spending by that amount and doubles our debt ... then he says that our problem is that the rich simply are not paying their “fair share” in taxes."  Then he posts this: Is it any wonder we can't get our economy growing?

Ann Coulter: Mumia's The Word*



McPhail

Ann Coulter  "With death penalty opponents so fixated on Davis' race -- he's black -- it ought to be noted that all the above witnesses are themselves African-American. The first man Davis shot in the car that night was African-American.
"I notice that the people so anxious to return this sociopathic cop-killer to the street don't live in his neighborhood.

"There's a reason more than a dozen courts have looked at Davis' case and refused to overturn his death sentence. He is as innocent as every other executed man since at least 1950, which is to say, guilty as hell." *Mumia Abu-Jamal  

Davis

Troy Davis case  "On August 28, 1991, the jury, composed of seven blacks and five whites, took under two hours to find Davis guilty on one count of murder and the other offenses. Davis and three of his family members testified during the sentencing phase. In a final address to the jury, Davis pleaded, "Spare my life. Just give me a second chance. That's all I ask." He told jurors he was convicted for "offenses I didn't commit." As the death penalty was being requested by the prosecutors, MacPhail's family members and friends were not allowed to testify. On August 30, 1991, after seven hours of deliberation, the jury recommended the death penalty and Davis was sentenced to death."

California: Orange County Couple Threatened With $500-Per-Meeting Fines For Home Bible Study…

Weasel Zippers  "An Orange County couple has been ordered to stop holding a Bible study in their home on the grounds that the meeting violates a city ordinance as a “church” and not as a private gathering.

"Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what one city official called “a regular gathering of more than three people” that requires a conditional use permit, according to Pacific Justice Institute, the couple’s legal representation."

City demands Christians get permit for Bible study  "The newspaper said city records showed someone complained, however, and a code enforcement officer first gave them a verbal warning and then issued citations in May and June."
"“We don’t like lawsuits, but we have to stand up for what’s right. It’s not just a personal issue,” Stephanie Fromm told the newspaper. “Can you imagine anybody in any neighborhood, that one person can call and make it a living hell for someone else? That’s wrong … and it’s just sad.”"
"A trial is scheduled for Oct. 7."

"Israel also pulled out of southern Lebanon in 2000 after nearly two decades of occupation following its invasion in 1982 in an attempt to destroy the Palestinian Liberation Army. Five years later, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.
"What have these good-faith efforts brought to Israel? Suicide bombings on a scale unmatched anywhere in the world. Thousands of rockets from Hezbollah and Hamas, from north and south, indiscriminately targeting military and civilian alike. Kidnappings of its soldiers, including one, Gilad Shalit, whose whereabouts remain unknown after five years.
"Having conceded its hard-fought buffers in the Sinai, Gaza and Lebanon, a country the size of New Jersey is less able to defend itself from an unapologetic savagery intent on Israel's destruction."...
