What to do with Biden?

White House says Obama will stick with Biden as running mate
"Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign lashed out at Biden and President Obama this week after the vice president in an address in Virginia said the Republican’s approach to the financial industry would “put y’all back in chains.” Biden made the remarks in front of a racially mixed audience.
"Obama’s campaign has repeatedly said Biden was simply talking about financial regulation."

America's first black governor tells Joe Biden: 'Slavery is nothing to joke about.’

"He continued: 'The important thing I got out of this was Biden separated himself from what he accused the people of doing. As a matter of fact, what he said is they are going to do something to y’all, not to me. Not us. So he was still involved with that separate American."

Gaffe Alert Level Three: Joe Biden Press Shop Literally Trying to Edit Media Reports
"The controversy surrounding Vice President Joe Biden’s offensive claim that Republicans want to enslave black Americans has become such a concern to the Obama White House that the veep’s staff have resorted to trying to directly censor the news coverage about him. 
"In what is widely believed to be an unprecedented move, the Biden press shop has severely restricted access to vice president and begun telling journalists what they should write about his activities as they write them up."
Virginia Business Owner Says No To Official Visit From Joe Biden

"Why? Because of Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remark.  Apparently, Chris McMurray of the “Crumb And Get It” bakery is a man of principle…"
"...the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.  "Could be that they were just hoping to avoid the logistical hassle of having to secure the bakery and surrounding area before Biden arrived and thought that Biden’s advance team might skip the stop altogether once the first business owner turned him down. (Didn’t work out that way.) Would a small group of Secret Service agents really risk the White House’s wrath by saying something politically unhelpful like this? "

Boy Scouts and the ACLU: A War of Worldviews

Byron Barlowe at Probe Ministries;    Traditional Mainstay As Good Cultural Influence vs. Liberal Legal Activists with Social Engineering Agenda
"When the BSA lays out its broad yet very absolute requirements, the most prominent and controversial are a “duty to God” and a Scout’s pledge to be reverent.This in no way dictates which or even what kind of deity one’s faith is ascribed to, but it sharply clashes with the ACLU’s ideals of secularism and humanism. "....
"If you’re committed to seeing the next generation of boys walk into adulthood not only as capable young men but with their faith intact, Scouting is one of the best venues out there. Hopefully, the ACLU won’t be able to quash that."


BOY SCOUTS DEFEAT ACLUCourt dismisses suit to bar use of military fort
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit dismissed a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union to stop the Defense Department from allowing the Boy Scouts of America to hold its National Jamboree every four years at Fort A.P. Hill in Fredericksburg, Va."

Ann Coulter; WHY LIBERALS BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO

Human Events   "With the country drowning in debt and Medicare and Social Security on high-speed bullet trains to bankruptcy, the entire Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge mathematical facts. Instead, they incite the Democratic mob to hate Republicans by accusing them of wanting to kill old people."
....
Democrats haven’t the slightest concern about who will formulate new remedies because they are enraged at profit making and suspicious of scientific advancement.
....
"The rest of us are forced to live in a lawless universe of no new pharmaceuticals, foreign doctors, gay marriage, girl soldiers, a health care system run by the post office, and bankrupt Social Security and Medicare systems, because liberals can’t enjoy their wealth unless other people are living in squalor."

INTELLIGENCE AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES SPEAK OUT AGAINST TREASON: COUNTLESS LEAKS, INTERVIEWS AND DECISIONS BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Atlas Shrugs  "Gd* bless these men and women who risk serious retribution. But they do, and they do it for their nation."  
* Not a typo; Jewish people who revere the name on God or Jehovah refrain from writing it out fully. They feel His name is too holy to be written out by humans. Ms.Geller, being worshipful, practices this as does Debbie Schlussel and many others.
"Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk."




Shooting at a Christian lobby group in Washington, D.C., this morning. Check to see if gunman was a TEA-Part...oh, no, wait! What?

Hero guard shot thwarting attack at Family Research Council HQ


A suspected gunman made a negative reference about the work of a conservative Christian lobbying group before shooting a security guard.
"The Family Research Council strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion and says it advocates "faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion." "

MSNBC Devotes Just 17 Seconds of Coverage to FRC Shooting; Downplays Possibility It Was Politically Motivated
..."28-year-old Floyd Corkins opened fire on a security guard at the conservative Family Research Center, located in downtown Washington, D.C. Local news stations, including NBC's Washington station, devoted resources to cover the developing story, as did CNN and Fox News, which regularly updated viewers with progress in the investigation.   But MSNBC...." yada, yada, yada

UPDATE: FRC shooting suspect was volunteering at DC LGBT Community Center
"It has just been confirmed that Family Research Council shooting suspect Floyd Corkins II had been volunteering at the DC Center for the LGBT Community for the past six months."

LGBT ORGANIZATIONS RELEASE JOINT STATEMENT REGARDING THE SHOOTING AT FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL  I do not for a minute doubt their sincerity; we conservatives know well what to anticipate in the aftermath of every hate crime. TD

We were saddened to hear news of the shooting this morning at the offices of the Family Research Council. Our hearts go out to the shooting victim, his family, and his co-workers.The motivation and circumstances behind today’s tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence.  We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident.


Dept. of Irony: "Well, the haters are mouthing off before they have any of the facts. What else is new?"  Some posts in Broadway.com:

"Would it surprise anyone to find that the FRC had in fact staged it themselves?"
 "FRC is a hate group who today is playing the victim card.If there was a shooting at a gay youth center the FRC would be bragging that they deserved it and this was God's will. Feel bad for the real victim(s) here."
 "This is very unfortunate. If it was actually someone opposing FRC, then this looks very bad."
"Please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay..."

The "Obnoxious" Campaign

An interesting term used by Mark Belling, guest-hosting the Rush Limbaugh radio program today.  Let's check out the obnoxious ways of this Obama-Biden administration, shall we?

Biden on Romney: ‘They’re going to put y’all back in chains  Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul   said, ”President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”
"But Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the campaign has “no problem with those comments,” in an interview with Andrea Mitchell. 
"An Obama campaign official later told CNN’s John King that Biden’s comments were “not helpful.” "

Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell 
"Some Biden gaffes easily get papered over by the media. Others, like yesterday's racially insensitive remarks, are too big to ignore. And that's precisely when the dutiful Obama/Biden acolytes at MSNBC go into full spin mode, defending the indefensible."
Democrats Break Fundraising Records For Creepy, Annoying Emails  "The last day of the second quarter has produced a deluge of aggressive, frantic, panicked, obsequious and stalkerish emails from both parties, but two Democratic committees have really outdone themselves."

The 10 Most Obnoxious Quotes from the Democratic Presidential Race From 2008, to demonstrate that Democrats are nothing if not consistent.

Joe Biden Is A Clumsy Liar; Obama Campaign Approves.  Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter was asked about the comment on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell ReportsHer verdict, which can be viewed here, comes as no surprise: I think [President Obama] probably agrees with Joe Biden’s sentiments.

Biden in 49% Black Danville, VA: 'They Gonna Put Y'all Back in Chains'  "The southern accent Biden adopts for that last line is deeply disturbing; it’s a clear reference to slavery.....This is race-baiting as its finest. It is despicable."

Victor Davis Hanson; Who Gets a Pass?

Victor Davis Hanson   ...."Farrakhan's hatred cannot possibly earn him ostracism. We cannot extend the anger at evangelical Christians for their incorrect attitudes toward feminism and homosexuality to the Muslims who often share similar views.

"Such selectivity is untenable. Classical Western liberalism was predicated on judging people as individuals — and on their merit and performance — rather than collectively as identity groups identified by gender, race and religion. Using illiberal means to advance supposedly liberal ends results not just in hypocrisy and cynicism, but in the current disaster of "Chicago values." "....

THE DIFFERENTIAL THEORY OF THE U.S. ARMED FORCES (SNAKE MODEL) - UPDATED 2012

Blackfive   Sorry guys; this one is guaranteed to offend everybody it touches. But I do love this excerpt about the Democratic representative (and Senator). Especially Senator.
US Congress Representative (D):  After initially voting in favor of anti-snake military action, suddenly realizes that the snake can never be defeated. Goes on TV and describes current operations as 'failed' before they begin and the calls the leading herpetologist in the world 'incompetent'. Pleads with snake not to hurt us. Then introduces legislation to re-deploy all military forces to Okinawa where they can more effectively engage snakes, world-wide. Then heads overseas to attempt to negotiate our surrender to the snake. Takes intern for 'support'.

Swift Boat Two? Special Ops group takes on Obama claims regarding Bin Laden

American Thinker   "This won't be as big as the Swift Boat effort, simply because the killing of Osama bin Laden is not as central to Obama's campaign as was Kerry's military service to his.
"But if what Reuters is reporting is true, it is going to make for some uncomfortable moments for the Obama camapaign."
Majority of Independents Say Obama ‘Over-Politicized’ bin Laden Killing. However...

A total of 46 percent of respondents say they trust Obama more on foreign policy than his likely GOP challenger Mitt Romney, while 44 percent choose Romney. But Romney leads among independents — 48 to 38 percent.
How on earth can this be? With all Obama's gaffes, bowing and apologizing; with his feckless treatment of the Iranian people in their fight for freedom; his dumping of the promised missile defense system for our Eastern European allies, the silly "reset" button for Russia; the video of appeasement sent to Iran at the start of his administration - I can go on - and so many other instances where Obama has telegraphed weakness to our enemies and betrayal to our allies, how obtuse can Obama supporters be?  TD
Anyway, Reuters had these words to say:
 A group of former U.S. intelligence and Special Forces operatives is set to launch a media campaign, including TV ads, that scolds President Barack Obama for taking credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden and argues that high-level leaks are endangering American lives.....
Mr. President, you did not kill Osama bin Laden, America did. The work that the American military has done killed Osama bin Laden. You did not," Ben Smith, identified as a Navy SEAL, says in the film."As a citizen, it is my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy," Smith continues. "It will get Americans killed."

Here comes a buzzkill: This Threat Seems Fictional, but It’s a Real Danger

The Foundry  "What happens to our society if we lose all electricity? A new TV show premiering next month, Revolution, will explore that question. It will be set in a world “where every single piece of technology—computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights—has mysteriously blacked out forever.”
"The good news is that the U.S. can do a lot to protect itself from the effects of a deliberate EMP attack by an enemy or an EMP caused by space weather, such as a large solar flare. But local, state, and federal governments have a lot of work to do. The Heritage Foundation has urged Congress to establish August 15 as National EMP Awareness Day, to educate the public and lawmakers on the threat and the need for action.

Forward!

"Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,"

The Hill;  Romney slams Obama in tough new speech
"Romney repeatedly and harshly criticized Team Obama for the remarks.

" "His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the Presidency.  Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower," Romney said.

" "This is an election in which we should be talking about the path ahead, but you don't hear any answers coming from President Obama’s re-election campaign. That’s because he's intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy. And so his campaign has resorted to diversions and distractions, to demagoguing and defaming others. This is an old game in politics; what’s different this year is that the president is taking things to a new low." "
