Our Not So Best and Not So Brightest

Victor Davis Hanson   "I thought Trent Lott should have stepped down for praising 100-year-old Strom Thurmond at his birthday fest in ways that could have suggested support for Thurmond’s earlier creed of racial segregation. But what does it take for his liberal counterpart — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — to quit? Declare the Iraq war lost in the midst of a surge to save it? Claim that Barack Obama is a light-skinned black who can turn on and off his black accent?

Defame an African-American member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission a “sh-t stirrer”? Or in McCarthyesque style fantasize that “someone” heard a rumor that Romney did not pay taxes, and hence Romney must release a decade of returns to “prove” that he is not a tax cheat — and this from a man who became a millionaire while in public office and has not released a single year of his own returns? The treatment of Lott versus the treatment of Reid reminds one of the quite different fates of Alberto Gonzales and Eric Holder; the former was grilled by Congress to the point of being forced out, while the latter simply called his accusers racists and ignored what followed."

The Israel/Iran War Game; Will they (the Israelis) or won’t they? And if so, when? I know the answers, but you’re not going to like them.

Jerusalem Post
Michael Ledeen   "Because Israel is only going to do it if they think they know that time’s up.  That the Iranians have everything they need to put a nuclear warhead on a serviceable missile that can hit Israel.  Israel does not want to do it.  For as long as I can remember, the Israelis have been trying to get U.S. to do it, because they have long believed that Iran was so big that only a big country could successfully take on the mullahs in a direct confrontation.  So Israel’s Iran policy has been to convince us to do whatever the Israelis think is best.  And while they’re willing to do their part, they are very reluctant to take on the entire burden."

Davidson College in North Carolina Bans Chick-fil-A

Newsmax   "Students began a protest and collected nearly 500 signatures in an online petition calling for the school to stop serving Chick-fil-A at campus sanctioned events

"Davidson doesn't have a Chick-fil-A on campus but the company's food was served on campus events occasionally. Some colleges have protested the restaurants being on campus but none has banned the business."

Romania’s 20-Year Nightmare: Unraveling Socialized Health Care

By Ion Mihai Pacepa    
The former general's most interesting bio  

"There is no better way to visualize the eventual disaster that a nationalized health care system can generate than to watch The Death of Mr. LazarescuThis movie was inspired by the heartbreaking true story of Constantin Nica, a real retired Romanian engineer who had the misfortune of growing old in a country that still maintained a nightmarish government health care bureaucracy twenty years after its last Communist dictator was gunned down by his own people.
"The movie’s script follows the fictional Mr. Lazarescu as a Romanian government ambulance shuttles him from one government-owned hospital to the next. At the first three hospitals, although the doctors determine that he does need surgery, the government bureaucracy refuses to take him in because he is too old and does not have enough money to give baksheesh to the hospital personnel. Mr. Lazarescu stubbornly refuses to give up, but at the fourth hospital, the evil bureaucrats win — he dies after a delayed and botched surgery." 


Rich Lowry confronts Rachael Maddow; why don't conservative candidates fight back at the liberal press like this?

Newt Gingrich of all the Republican candidates, was the only one who could be depended on to throw challenges back at the MSM. Are the Republicans afraid that these people won't like them if they stand up to them?


"She's touted by the liberal media as one of the brightest commentators on television, yet MSNBC's Rachel Maddow got thoroughly demolished by National Review editor Rich Lowry on Sunday's Meet the Press
"When continually asked by Lowry to defend the President's $700 billion Medicare cuts in ObamaCare, Maddow repeatedly refused making herself look tremendously foolish." ....

"Well, maybe if she had answered Lowry's simple question concerning whether or not she supports the $700 billion of Medicare cuts in ObamaCare she could look forward to praise for her appearance.  
"Instead, by ducking the issue she exposed herself as a Democrat shill with no business anchoring a television show on a so-called "news network." "

Paul Ryan and the Obamedia Illustrated

Media Bias History Repeating Itself Against Romney-Ryan   "Bias: As powerful as Romney's choice of Paul Ryan is, the mainstream media's power — from moderating the debates to censoring interviews — is being wielded against it. Fortunately, Ryan has a potent weapon: the truth."

Christie to deliver keynote address at GOP convention

American Thinker "An excellent choice. Christie is not a bombthrower or name caller, but he is an extremely forceful, even combative speaker. And for you fans of red meat attacks, I'm sure he won't disappoint.
....
"It will also be announced today that Marco Rubio will introduce Mitt Romney prior to his acceptance speech. Those are two prime slots going to serious presidential contenders in 2016 if Romney is not elected. Of the two, the speech will be more important for Rubio who is not as well known as Christie. The Florida Senator needs to make a good impression with GOP voters and this high profile opportunity shouldn't be squandered."

BUSTED! Soledad O’Brien Caught Using Left-Wing Blog to Slam Ryan

What she's reading from is a TPM article titled
 "
The Myth Of Paul Ryan The Bipartisan Leader"
published Monday at 6:08 PM only a few
 hours before this program started.

Conservative Daily News  "Ali Akbar of Viral Read reported on August 13th that Soledad O’ Brien– while guest hosting for Anderson Cooper– used a Talking Points Memo post to slam Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan in an exchange with Virginia House of Delegates member and Romney Senior Campaign Adviser Barbara Comstock:"...

Newsbusters gave this acount:  "Ali Akbar at Viral Read reported Monday:"
During her interview with Virginia House of Delegates Republican member Barbara Comstock, O’Brien became visibly flustered and was actually caught doing finger stress exercises as she attempt [sic] to insert editorial commentary while her guest, a former skilled Republican operative, defended the House GOP budget, designed by Budget Chairman Paul Ryan.
Accidentally, a cameraman captured O’Brien furiously flipping through notes, only to cut out seconds later.
More reasons not to trust O'Brien as a "journalist":
Obama Shill? Soledad O'Brien Says Factually-Correct GOP Claim Was 'Debunked'   "What exactly is Soledad O'Brien arguing? On Monday's Starting Point she slapped away a factual statement that President Obama has cut Medicare funding by $700 billion as "debunked" and "very much political spin." "

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien isn’t used to criticism.   "In the world of media elites, she’s a beloved figure and an award-winning news anchor. But last week, she revealed her true, decidedly non-neutral colors. And she’s not happy about the hoi polloi questioning her hallowed journalistic objectivity.   Michelle Malkin

Soledad O’Brien’s Embarrassing, Biased Interview;... This Is Just The Beginning   "Listen to Soledad O’Brien’s nasty —and defensive of the president— attitude in the interview below. O’Brien isn’t the least bit curious as to why they hid these tapes during the 2008 presidential campaign. Watch her act as nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece for Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.

Hatred in the Face of the Host!

Logan's Warning 
"Muslims stand with Islam above all. One of the ways non-Muslims go out of their way for Islam is to open their doors for Muslims to recite the Islamic prayer. ...."recently Nayyar Imam, the first ever Muslim chaplain at the Suffolk County Police Department, gave the prayer invocation in the US House of Representatives.
...."Besides the anti-Jewish and Christian prayer, the Islamic scriptures instruct Muslims not to befriend Christians and Jews, and also call for Islamic Law to dominate non-Muslims. Now let’s take a close look at what the prayer actually says and means:"...
"....For those who do not know, “those who earned your anger” are the Jews."

*Lying (Taqiyya and Kitman) "There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman.  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them."

"You've already heard from Obama's political operatives that Mitt Romney gave a woman cancer and laughed gleefully at the news of her death. But the same team who produced that fact-free commercial is happily bragging that they are going to be releasing "more incendiary" ads soon - including ones that suggest contact with Mitt Romney causes people to commit suicide. And if that's not bad enough, they claim that they've got other commercials which are even more emotionally inflammatory (or should we say libelous?) "in the can." Which is no doubt where they belong."
