Here come the boycotts: Chick-fil-A president slams gay marriage

Yahoo News " "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Dan Cathy, the company's president and chief operating officer, said in a recent radio interview. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about." "

Here it comes:
Ed Helms to Boycott Chick-fil-A Over Company's Anti-Gay Marriage Stance " Helms is not alone in his stance. Many associated with NOH8 - such as Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian - have also called for a Chick-fil-A boycott."

Gen. Boykin: Boy Scouts 'Should be Applauded for Standing up for Traditional Values'

“I would say that if you look at the fact that there are many documented incidents of the abuse of young boys by homosexual scout leaders, the Boy Scouts are actually protecting the young men that are part of the Boy Scouts by ensuring that there are no homosexual predators associated with them,” Boykin said. 
"He added: “That is not to say that every homosexual is a pedophile, but there have certainly been many incidents that have been documented that reflect that there is a problem. ....
"Homosexual activists, meanwhile, roundly condemn the Scouts’ decision – and the policy."

30 Awesome Behind The Scenes Photos From Old Movies

Buzzfeed  This one shows Alfred directing  "The Trouble With Harry". This scene must depict one of those intimate, private dinner moments.

Many more photos here.

Former Navy SEAL launches anti-Obama PAC

Ryan Zinke
Hot Air   "Politicker reports that Ryan Zinke, an ex-Navy SEAL of Team 6 and a current Montana state senator, has just launched a new political action committee: Special Operations for America, a group to support “the election of Mitt Romney and like-minded candidates.” "
 “For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.”

Democrats' Ideal Voter: Illegal Alien, Single Mother, Convicted Felon

Ann Coulter  "How can a country that elected Ronald Reagan have Obama tied in the polls with Mitt Romney? 
"The answer is: It's not the same country. 
"Similarly, when two successful, attractive multimillionaire women in California can't beat a geriatric leftist like Jerry Brown or an old prune like Barbara Boxer, that's not the same state that elected Ronald Reagan twice, either.
"The same process that has already destroyed California is working its way through the entire country."  
Then she explains why...


HuffPo; Democrats Benefit From Illegal Immigrant Voting
"There is a huge problem with voter fraud. And, in my opinion, it is proven by the vehemence of the Democrats, the beneficiaries of the fraud, toward enforcement of our laws."
Larry Elder highlights absurdity of Democrats' claims of 'war on voting'
"What proof, they ask, demonstrates a problem with the integrity of voting? Popular political scientist Larry Sabato, author of the book on voter fraud called “Dirty Little Secrets,” writes: “From voter fraud to election chicanery of all kinds, America teeters on the edge of scandal every November. The fact that so many people want to thwart legitimate and prudent efforts to improve ballot integrity has become a scandal in its own right.”  "

The real Obama, unplugged

Politico; Obama hijacks American success   "Our life is a journey — branching out in scattered directions. By God’s grace and the foresight of our Founding Fathers, this journey is determined by our own free will and motivation. But success, according to Obama, can only be achieved if the government has had an integral part — pushing you in the right direction.

So, using the president’s logic, Michael Phelps won eight Olympic gold medals because the Federal Highway Administration built the roads to get him to swim practice. They also woke him up at 4 am each morning and forced him to train. Or Spanx undergarments — which millions of women rely upon — became a billion-dollar company because its founder, Sara Blakely, wanted to pay more taxes."....

Neal Boortz; Hey ... Obama. We Built That Stuff Too 
"Get in Marine One, Obama, and fly off to visit a road construction project.  Look at those graders, rollers and the machines that lay the asphalt.  See those logos on the doors?  Those logos are for private construction firms.  Those workers in yellow vests?  Their paychecks and benefits are coming from private businesses – many of them the very small businesses you want to hit with tax increases."....

Videos: Romney on the attack after Obama’s “You didn’t build that” remark

Hot Air  "Mitt Romney delivered an impressive rebuttal to Barack Obama’s ill-considered remarks in a Roanoke, Virginia speech on small business owners this past Sunday." 
...." Mitt Romney delivered an impressive rebuttal to Barack Obama’s ill-considered remarks in a Roanoke, Virginia speech on small business owners this past Sunday."  
"This is just about pitch perfect. In the midst of all these attacks on Bain Capital and private equity, conservatives have urged Romney to start fighting back with full-throated defenses of capitalism and private property. Obama’s weird statement gave Romney the perfect opening, and Romney did not let it go to waste. He also correctly diagnosed why Obama made that argument and why Obama’s prescription is exactly what we don’t need in the next four years, which he addresses in the part of the speech that immediately follows this excerpt."

Welfare Reform Is the Latest Obama Rewrite

The Foundry  "In the past, state bureaucrats have attempted to define activities such as hula dancing, attending Weight Watchers, and bed rest as “work.” These dodges were blocked by the federal work standards. Now that the Obama Administration has abolished those standards, we can expect “work” in the TANF program to mean anything but work.

"The new welfare dictate issued by the Obama Administration clearly guts the law. The Administration tramples on the actual legislation passed by Congress and seeks to impose its own policy choices—a pattern that has become all too common in this Administration.
"The result is the end of welfare reform."

Will Obama and Democrats turn this nation into California and other points for Romney to consider:

Victor Davis Hanson: Beware the Ides of October  "What should we expect as the campaign heats up in the final four months?

Ed Driscoll: Would Obama’s Second Term Complete the Californication of America?
"Hope and change were in the air that cold winter day, and Seeger and Springsteen* figured it was time for America to hear the rarely performed stanza.
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me,
A great big sign there said, “private property”;
But on the back side, it didn’t say nothin’;
That side was made for you and me.
"No wonder we’ve never heard that stanza. It changes Guthrie’s song from a celebration of America into a bitter indictment of a nation built on unjust private-property rights."
*"Yes, Bruce was a member of the Communist Party of the USA between 1978 and 1991. He resigned so as to further his music career but still pays on average 4.6 million dollars per year in donations to communist movements worldwide. He was temporarily known as "Comrade Bruce" in Albania in the late 1990's."


Romney's Hollywood hurdle: President Barack Obama's re-election campaign gets a boost tomorrow at select theaters nationwide
" "The Obama Effect," written and directed by veteran actor Charles S. Dutton, follows a man who drops everything in his life to support a certain single-term Senator from Illinois. Dutton plays an insurance salesman who survives a heart attack and decides to dedicate his days to supporting Obama's presidential campaign."
Coupled with the Hollywood pro-Obama hagiographies; DNC Chair Doubles Down on 'Felony' Charge Against Romney  "Moreover, these Bain attacks are only working to help Obama allies in the media from talking about the economy. Which does help Obama, but as far as the polls, the needle hasn't moved at all. To voters worried about finding or keeping a job, this is likely all white noise."

Dick Morris; Obama’s strategy emerges  "The Romney campaign must put ads on the screen that show the opposite of the Obama negative — the success stories of Bain and the ways in which Romney’s skill, intellect, dedication and hard work produced some jobs and saved others for average American workers."

Via the 
Hoover Institution;  George Shultz: Memo to Romney — Expand the Pie  " What about Mitt Romney? Is he running on the right themes? Will he have a mandate if he wins?" 

Want to take an active part in getting Obama out of office?

What knowledge can you contribute to the Republican National Committee - Research Department?


"RNC Research is focused on examining and analyzing President Obama’s record of failed economic policies and broken promises that are taking our country in the wrong direction. Comprised of dedicated researchers, the Department is focused solely on the facts and what they tell us about the Obama presidency."

Small businesspersons, what have you encountered in the way of Obama regulations and other business obstacles?
The site asks mainly for your stories of encounters with economic issues, but I'd love to see the Republicans take on many issues including these:
How has Obama's EPA hamstrung you?
Medical practitioners, what new ordeals have been imposed on you under ObamaCare?
Tax consultants, what new problems do you now encounter because of this government?
What others have I failed to list here?

If you have an issue you would like to see addressed by Republicans in this campaign, tell them about it here.  Be sure to include your name and address so they can verify your report and not be attacking some urban legend.

Tunnel Wall tribute to this President

Chris Matthews: 'Obama Is the Perfect Father, the Perfect Husband, the Perfect American'  "Isn't there anyone at MSNBC embarrassed by this? Or all they okay with one of their so-called "journalists" calling a sitting president in an election year "perfect?" "


Bookworm Room adds this to our Barack Obama tribute:
"Distilled to its essence:  Barack Obama is saying that only government makes things happen.   He fundamentally fails to understand that a healthy, stable society, one in which government does its job...is one that enables the hard workers, the innovators, the — yes — the lucky ones to rise above the crowd.  When government tries to innovate for innovation’s sake ...we end up with TSA and Solyndra."  (Emphasis added.)


From the comments section at the above site:
If you’ve got a business become President — you didn’t build win that. Somebody else made that happen.
Somebody, to remain anonymous, released sealed divorce proceeding records
Somebody, at the LA Times, refuses to release tapes of you celebrating with a group of Palestinians who were openly hostile towards Israel.
 
Somebody coordinated a Journolist of main stream media reporters, pundits, etc., to combat negative coverageiu(sic) 

Obama and our government have hurt me, not helped me, every step of the way

By  in Fox News  
"I was President Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University, Class of '83. Almost every one of my classmates were openly socialist or Marxist, with many of these leftist radicals calling for an end to capitalism and “bringing down the system” by destroying the U.S. economy with entitlements, debt, and crisis.
"That’s why I have predicted in thousands of media interviews from the first days of Obama's presidency that Obama is a radical, with a deep-seated hatred of business owners, a desire to demonize us and destroy America’s faith in capitalism, and a plan to bring down the system by overwhelming our economy with debt and crisis -- just as we all learned and discussed at Columbia in our college days.

"Well, it’s no longer a theory. Obama has decided to come clean with his plans for a second term. In a matter of 48 hours he gave us two hints so big you couldn’t miss his intentions." Read more...

Video: Bill Whittle on Obama’s Greatest “Successes”

Via Nice Deb; Bill Whittle’s run down of  Bam’s greatest hits is devastating, and barely scratches the surface, but as Whittle says in the YouTube, comments, “There is only so much room on the internet, Wiz.”


So, how do we explain THIS?  "This race is not moving at all in any direction at the moment.  The stasis helps the challenger in providing time to gather his financial strength.  The attacks on character don’t seem to be having any real impact at all on the polling, which means that the election will almost certainly be decided on policy and as a referendum on the incumbent — and that’s definitely bad news for Obama."
