A User's Guide To Smoking Pot With Barack Obama

BuzzFeed  "Barry was quite the accomplished marijuana enthusiast back in high school and college. Excerpts from David Maraniss' Barack Obama: The Story dealing with the elaborate drug culture surrounding the president when he attended Punahou School in Honolulu and Occidental College in Los Angeles. He inhaled. A lot"  (Emphasis in the original)

1. The Choom Gang  "A self-selected group of boys at Punahou School who loved basketball and good times called themselves the Choom Gang. Choom is a verb, meaning "to smoke marijuana."

....8. Ray The Dealer   "He was a long-haired haole hippie who worked at the Mama Mia Pizza Parlor not far from Punahou and lived in a dilapidated bus in an abandoned warehouse. … According to Topolinski, Ray the dealer was "freakin' scary." Many years later they learned that he had been killed with a ball-peen hammer by a scorned gay lover. But at the time he was useful because of his ability to "score quality weed." 

....

"In another section of the [senior] yearbook, students were given a block of space to express thanks and define their high school experience. … Nestled below [Obama's] photographs was one odd line of gratitude: "Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times." … A hippie drug-dealer made his acknowledgments; his own mother did not."

The Stupid Party

Bruce Thornton   "The fundamental wisdom known by every village explainer — spend more than you earn and you’ll go broke, give people something for nothing and they will expect something for nothing forever, there is no free lunch, if something can’t go on forever it won’t — doesn’t seem to penetrate the minds of the self-styled “genius” party."
...."In other words, a hundred years of painful experience and the failure of these notions should demonstrate their danger. That liberals continue to ignore those historical lessons and recycle those discredited ideas makes them the stupid party."

Gay Superheroes? Boycott DC Comics!

Thiswillgagyou.com

Warning Signs   "I don’t want a gay superhero of either gender. Deliberately making one of them homosexual serves no purpose other than to spread the gay message that altering all of society to suit their preference for their own sex is okay. It never was. It never will be.
"I regard changing our perception of one of the superheroes as a slap in the face of everyone who grew up enjoying their adventures and a form of gay indoctrination for a new, younger generation. 
"Superman stands for “truth, justice, and the American way.” If he’s gay, then the American way has strayed so far from decency and common sense that it portends the death of our unique political and social experiment. That applies to all the rest of the DC characters as well."

...."I do not want homosexuals harmed or harassed. I want them to be ignored. That’s hard to do with relentless campaigns to highlight “bullying” as if only gays were its target or passing out literature in the schools that would make me blush. 
"This is, simply put, the subversion of a society that began as the result of deeply held religious beliefs that included the sanctity of marriage. It is insidious. It should be resisted." Alan Caruba
 

Believe it. Obama’s A Big Spender.

The Foundry  "You can see the proof for yourself in Heritage’s 2012 edition of the Federal Budget in Pictures. Of the last ten presidents, going back to John F. Kennedy, president Obama’s budget deficits as a percentage of GDP have exploded. And if you take a look at where spending is headed under President Obama’s budget, you’ll see that the country’s debt crisis just keeps getting worse. The President’s FY 2013 budget would increase the debt to 76.5 percent of GDP by 2022, despite $2 trillion in tax hikes. That’s not “fiscal restraint,” no matter how you slice it."

That's A Hot One

The Truth about President Obama’s Skyrocketing Spending  "Spending has skyrocketed under President Obama, but of late some are claiming that the opposite is true. Case in point: MarketWatch columnist Rex Nutting wrote, “Obama spending binge never happened,” andPolitifact rated this statement “mostly true.” "


Real federal deficit dwarfs official tally  "The typical American household would have paid nearly all of its income in taxes last year to balance the budget if the government used standard accounting rules to compute the deficit, a USA TODAY analysis finds." Via Boortz

CNN Fails to Refute Bogus Numbers Claiming 'Obama Spending Binge Never Happened'  "And this Investor's Business Daily piece offers another smack-down of the numbers. The editorial argues that since TARP was a loan but was included in the budget outlays, and since much of the bailout money for Fannie and Freddie was spent in 2009, spending under Bush was "exaggerated" when the TARP money was loaned out and Obama's spending hikes were blurred when the loans were paid back and the bailouts subsided.

"[W]hen you fix Nutting's mistakes, it turns out that Obama jacked up spending 12 percent in 2010, IBD argues"

Communist Party sets its hope on Obama in 2012

Communist Party USA Chair: "We Can Set In Motion Progressive Agenda Coming Out Of 2012 Election. (If It Goes Our Way)"  "Sam Web, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA ) Chairman, said to a gathering of local Communists in Arizona last year that if the 2012 election goes their way, (The re-election of President Obama) that they will have the possibility of setting the 'Progressive' Agenda. (Starts around the 2:00 Mark.)"

The Catholic Church vs the Obama administration

Last March, a letter was sent by from Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan, President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. What follows are some excerpts.
"...the White House Press Secretary, for instance, informed the nation that the mandates are a fait accompli(and, embarrassingly for him, commented that we bishops have always opposed Health Care anyway, a charge that is scurrilous and insulting, not to mention flat out wrong. Bishop Blaire did a fine job of setting the record straight.) The White House already notified Congress that the dreaded mandates are now published in the Federal Registry “without change.” "


01/31/12: Insurance decision formally declares war on religion  "Obama chose to substantially burden a religious belief, by the most intrusive means, for a less-than-compelling state purpose – a marginal increase in access to contraceptives that are easily available elsewhere."

Via Institute for Justice: Catholic dioceses, colleges sue over Obama mandate  "The lawsuits are the latest in the intensifying standoff between Roman Catholic bishops and the Obama administration during this election year."


Outrage Over 72 Hours Of Network Silence On Catholic Lawsuit Spreads To Other Christian Leaders   " Fury over the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts’ continued refusal to report the lawsuits Catholic entities have filed against the Obama administration has spread beyond the Media Research Center watchdog group and Catholic leaders to nine additional Christian leaders equally concerned about this decision to deliberately not report national news. Below are statements released by FRC’s Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer of American Values and eight more leaders."

Church of the Holy Contraception  "Perhaps the Catholic Church, which often seems to back economic "fairness" rather than market freedom, will be more sensitive to the intrusions of the state in economic choice. This episode exhibits how economic freedom is intricately tied to all other liberties. When the state creates virtual monopolies through regulatory regimes, it also gets to decide what is moral and necessary and compels everyone to act accordingly."David Harsanyi

Catholic Leaders Outraged Over Media Silence on HHS Mandate Lawsuits

More here.   And here, including this quote: 

"If there is one freedom our country has consistently cherished, it is the right to freedom of conscience: the right to act or not to act as conscience dictates. Thomas Jefferson wrote that “no provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of civil authority.”"

Media Research Center:  Shameless Bias By Omission  "You’d think the largest legal action in American history in defense of religious liberty would be a major news story. But ABC, CBS, and NBC don’t judge news events by their inherent importance as relates to the future of our freedoms. They deliver the news according to a simple formula: Does it, or doesn’t it, advance the re-election of Barack Obama?
"If it doesn’t, it isn’t news."....

...."This is the worst example of shameless bias by omission I have seen in the quarter-century history of the Media Research Center. We recall the Chinese communists withholding from its citizenry for 20 years the news that the U.S. had landed on the moon, because it reflected poorly on their government. Never, never would the U.S. “news” media behave thusly.

Mr. Charisma vs Mr. Uncommitted

Obama vote lags among Democrats in Arkansas, Kentucky primaries  "Wolfe, a Tennessee lawyer, won 42% of the vote statewide, and a majority of the vote in 36 of the 73 counties that had reported totals as of early Wednesday.

"Meanwhile, in Kentucky, just as big a percentage of Democrats voted for "Uncommitted" rather than Obama.Mitt Romney, who still faced more familiar names on the Republican ballot, won with bigger shares of the vote in both states."

Obama Campaign Organizes Blacks To Shout At And Heckle Romney As He Toured Inner-City Section Of Philadelphia…

Weasel Zippers  "Remember this the next time Obama and his surrogates argue for civility in politics."  Quoting the WaPo:  Hecklers mar Romney’s visit to inner-city charter school in Philadelphia

Seeking to broaden his appeal heading into the general election, Romney was venturing for his first time in this campaign into an impoverished black neighborhood to hear the concerns of local educators and community leaders. But here in the streets of West Philadelphia, the emotion surrounding his contest with the nation’s first black president was raw, as dozens of neighborhood residents shouted, “Get out, Romney, get out!”

Bain Capital and Godfather's Pizza; how businesses should be run

gopbriefingroom


Hermain Cain on Bain Capital: Slice to save jobs  " “When I took over Godfather’s, here’s an example — we had 725 restaurants,” Cain added. “We closed 200 to save the 525. That’s what Bain and many other companies do in order to save the business. … Sometimes you have to get smaller, then you get better, then you get bigger. It’s a principle of free enterprise.”

Cain warned that the Obama campaign’s strategy of criticizing Romney’s Bain background will not work in the long term and advised the Republican candidate to stop trying to respond to every one of President Barack Obama’s attacks regarding his time at the private-equity firm."

Genuine growth under Obama

Figures don't lie: Democrats do

Ann Coulter   "The theory is that a new president is stuck with the budget of his predecessor, so the entire 2009 fiscal year should be attributed to Bush. 
"But Obama didn't come in and live with the budget Bush had approved. He immediately signed off on enormous spending programs that had been specifically rejected by Bush. This included a $410 billion spending bill that Bush had refused to sign before he left office. Obama signed it on March 10, 2009. Bush had been chopping brush in Texas for two months at that point." 
....
"But all those errors pale in comparison to Nutting's counting Obama's nine-month spending binge as Bush's spending. 
"If liberals will attribute Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus bill to Bush, what won't they do?"
