The left doesn't care; all that matters is that Obama must continue to be president...

...no matter what.

Sad Hill News: Is THIS What Obama Was Hiding From His College Days?

Death By 1000 Papercuts

"Barack Hussein Obama, pals with Bill Ayers the communist terrorist who walks freely amongst us?

"(WND) “Obama spent two years at Columbia University yet left virtually no fingerprints of his presence there. Could that be because Columbia was where Mr. Obama first met ‘mad bomber’ William Ayers?” asked Martin.

"Ayers was at the time just resurfacing in New York after living underground following his Weathermen days. He has well-established connections to Columbia, which was the scene of the famed 1968 Columbia University strikes in which hundreds of students seized several university buildings. The strikes were led by the Columbia chapter of Ayers’ Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen later splintered. Multiple Weathermen leaders were Columbia students.

"Currently, the earliest confirmed Ayers-Obama association was in Chicago in 1995, when Obama was appointed chairman of the multimillion-dollar Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was founded by Ayers. The former Weathermen leader that year also hosted the first organizing meeting for Obama’s state senatorial campaign. Many believe it is doubtful Ayers would have helped Obama to that extent without a longer relationship."

Urban Legend: Sign at a mall in Houston, Texas

This came in our mailbox and, as usual, we checked it against our available resources:
Store Closed to Commemorate the Martyrdom of a 9/11 Terrorist- Fiction!

"Summary of the eRumor:"   This is a forwarded email with an attached photo of a note hung on September 11, 2009 in a store window located in Houston, Texas.  The note in the photo says that the store will be closed to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali.   The email says that he was one of the 9/11 terrorists who flew a hijacked jetliner into the 2001 attack of the World Trade Center in New York.

"The Truth:"   The owner of the Perfume Planet store in Houston, Texas told TruthorFiction.com that traditionally their store is closed every year during the observance of the martyrdom of Imam Ali.  Imam Ali was not a 9/11 terrorists or a pilot.    Ali, or Ali Ibn Abi Talib was born in Mecca in 600 AD and died in 661 and was the cousin and son-in-law of the founder of Islam, Mohammed.The day of observance fell on the 21st day of the Muslim Ramadan season which by coincidence landed on September 11, 2009. Here it is at Snopes Store manager Imran Chunawala was stunned because the holiday had nothing to do with 9 /11. Then he realized what happened. This year a key Ramadan Holiday happened to fall on 9/11. "We did not explain enough in the sign because that is the exact same sign we put up every year on this particular day for this particular reason," said Chunawala. He apologized for the confusion and put up a new sign thoroughly explaining the martyr they were honoring died in 661 AD. Given the date of the store's holiday, it is not at all surprising that the sign caused so much confusion and consternation. That said, it seems clear that the store manager meant no disrespect, even though the placing of the sign with such wording at that particular time of the year was certainly ill conceived. Although the initial confusion caused by the sign is certainly understandable, it is hard to imagine how Imam Ali's name was misidentified in the subsequent protest email as one of the 2001 hijackers other than by a deliberate and wilful act of deception.   Emphasis added.

OBAMA ATTACKS SPECIAL OPERATORS FOR FRONTING HIM OUT

Blackfive  "Making stuff up for purely political reasons, Really? Seriously that is your response, to call them liars? And to do so anonymously? Well that part makes sense, the odds of a gutless, spineless political tool standing up and calling those guys, us guys and other folks who are in a position to make those claims, liars is pretty slim. The Swift Boat reference is actually pretty legitimate, though. The ads that former comrades of John Kerry put out accurately portrayed Kerry as a glory hound punk who spent four months in Vietnam, picked up three extremely sketchy Purple Hearts, shot a bunch of reenactments of his exploits for home movies, and then headed out long before his tour was up to try to become the reincarnation of JFK. So Swift Drone away on the mighty Osama Slayer's wafer-thin resume and phone book thick record of using it for his own aggrandizement."

Former union boss at Occupy event: Our goal is to ‘overthrow the capitalist system and build communism’ [VIDEO]

19 Reasons Cats Are Better Than Dogs

Buzzfeed  "Most people think that this is still an open question, but these indisputable scientific facts clearly show that cats have the edge."

".. whereas cats make excellent and responsible babysitters. Some babies who are nurtured by cats even learn to play new instruments, and in a few cases, to speak foreign languages."

...."Meanwhile, dog-operated interior design firms are struggling to find a niche in the market."

Plus the fact that dogs tend to vote for Dennis Kucinich.

United We Stood

Hope n' Change  "Because in his best "aw shucks" manner, and with Michelle sitting at his side (apparently wearing a tablecloth from an Italian restaurant), Obama said "I don't think you or anybody who's been watching the campaign would say that in any way we have tried to divide the country. We've always tried to bring the country together."
....
"Except when he's threatening to throw bankers to the people with pitchforks, clearing the legal path for Occupy Wall Street protesters to rail against capitalism, instructing the Justice Department not to prosecute New Black Panthers who threaten white voters, declaring that Republicans are waging a "war on women," calling people of faith "bitter clingers," having his Department of Homeland Security label veterans as potential terrorists, calling fiscal conservatives "hostage takers," creating "blacks only" programs to improve schooling, and on and on."
There are any number of patriotic bumper stickers I could put on our car, but "United we stand" would not be one of them. I can't. I won't, because there are too many Michael Moore's, Bill Ayres', and (name any Hollywood celebrity here)'s to make a sticker saying that be anything but a joke

Fanning the Flames of Left-Wing Violence

Godfather Politics  "To borrow from President Obama’s Black Nationalist mentor, Jeremiah Wright, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate-baiting chickens “have come home to roost.” The hard-left group has become everything it presumes to expose."
....
"Alongside violence-charged photos of actual hate groups like the Aryan Brotherhood and the KKK, the SPLC lists on its website the decidedly mainstream and always peaceful FRC.

"It’s a clever strategy, dishonest and reprehensible though it may be. By juxtaposing FRC and other Christian organizations with violent extremist groups, SPLC has engaged in intellectual sloth at its worst (the organization has repeatedly declined to debate FRC President Tony Perkins over its “hate group” smear)."

Obama's Israel “Auschwitz Borders” Policy

Infidel Bloggers Alliance  "A close analysis of President Obama’s May 19, 2011 Middle East Policy Speech shows where he may be heading if reelected - from a militarized Palestinian State to bringing in the "refugees"." 

"In 2012, President Obama has been touted by some as “no better friend of Israel.” However, President Obama’s current 2012 Israel policy on Israel is unchanged from his famous May 19, 2011 speech at the US State Department where Obama clearly defined his policy was one of pushing Israel back to the Auschwitz borders of the 1967 Green Line."

Dream Team: The 10 Best Conservative Columnists

PJ Media "Never before have right-leaning readers been able to enjoy such a surplus of excellence in political commentary. Every day, on sites like this one and countless others, über-talented wordsmiths stir conservative passion and shape the national debate. In honor of our country’s Olympic basketball legacy, selecting our own literary Dream Team is in order, in recognition of ten authors atop our political pyramid.

Jonah Goldberg is another:

George F. Will; Heather Mac Donald are two more, Go to the article for the rest;.... "The dean of this distinguished class – or in keeping with the Dream Team metaphor, the captain – is the inimitable Charles Krauthammer. It is fitting that his columns come to print on Fridays, the best day of the week. To say he’s a superior writer would be pointless. Only hyperbole and cliché can do his columns justice. Although originally educated and trained as a psychiatrist, he evolved into a literary surgeon, armed not with a scalpel but a pen. His words are crisp and exact. “The Hammer” – a namesake offered by his ardent fans – will pulverize the left’s latest fallacy while never resorting to name-calling or callousness. He’s the Michael Jordan.

"There you have it: your conservative Dream Team. Remember how lucky we are to have so many sound advocates for our causes. Reading conservatively has never been better."
