Victor Davis Hanson; The Mother of All Scandals

PJ Media  ...."The election of 2012 may well have been altered by the Benghazi cover-up, in ways that transcend debate moderator Candy Crowley’s puerile and unprofessional efforts to shield Obama from Romney’s questioning about the deaths. Imagine the fallout on voters had we been told from the very beginning that an al-Qaeda affiliate had stormed our consulate — ill-prepared and unable to obtain needed beefed-up security, reliant for safety on local suspect tribal militias, in a country that had deteriorated into a failed society after our Libyan bombing — and slaughtered four Americans, apparently stationed in Benghazi to help in some way a covert CIA operation.

"So here we have it: a beleaguered “consulate” that was refused additional security and relied on local militias, apparently due to administration worry over destroying an Obama campaign narrative of a reborn Libya and dying al-Qaeda."....

US state fair bans rodeo clown who mocked Obama

Atlas Shrugs  "What, is he Muhammad now? Do not mock the prophet!
Let's be honest, Obama is a clown. They should have had the bull wear a Putin mask.
"They mocked Bush like mad. I never heard or saw the Republicans take up for Bush the way they have taken up for Obama. Pathetic.
"UPDATE: Tuffy the clown's facebook page. Like it here (than[k]s to Missouri Torch)
"The fair said in a written statement announcing the rodeo clown's ban that he had engaged in an "unconscionable stunt" that was "inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair's standards." "
However this is permissible:  

 
 Obama the Clown Is Off Limits  "It's a sad state of affairs when America stands by while 3,000 babies are aborted daily, twiddle their thumbs while the Benghazi 4 lay in cold, dark graves, go about their business while the IRS targets American citizens, and keep right on talking while the NSA monitors their phone calls.  Then, after being lackadaisical about serious things, people are up in arms about a rodeo clown showing up at the Missouri state fair in an Obama mask."
....
"Remember when the HBO series Game of Thrones had George W. Bush's head on a stake during a beheading scene, and nary a liberal said a word?"

Support Tuffy on Facebook   "This page was started to show support for Tuffy Gessling a rodeo entertainer that is taking heat for telling a joke that has been around for decades. Tuffy's big sin? He dared to tell the joke using Obama."

U.S. Textbooks Rewrite History (and contain Islamic propaganda)

We the People  "Florida parents are shocked. They just found out that the textbooks their children have been studying for the last three years contain lies, history has been re-written, and the books contain pro-Islam propaganda;
- There are 36 pages dedicated to the religion of Islam, while there are NO chapters dedicated to Christianity or Judaism." 

 
More here: High School Text Book Literally Re-writes History   "Last I checked, Americans were free to choose their faith, but our country was undeniably founded on Judeo-Christian values. Whether you subscribe to Christianity or not, you can’t deny that its a rich part of our history. Look at our money! Having a 36-page chapter dedicated to Islam and only mentioning our nations core, founding values in an inaccurate, skewed way is a disgrace."
 
A Muslim speaks out against the Islamic horrors! "I Indict My Religion: "Islam exists today to destroy non-Muslims" "  Full text here.  Please pray for this man (whose name I have chosen not to include here) as he must surely have many fatwas on his head now.
If you want to help Islam, then it is time to tie your help with what our leaders do or say, and not by how much intelligence they deliver.
Otherwise, stop buying our oil and gas. Let us perish in our own waste. Maybe, then, our leaders will speak out and cooperate with the West based on equality and not based on them forcing Islam upon the rest of the world.
Enough is enough. I am really, really angry.
May those British teens, and all who were injured by Islamic terror in the past, find peace and happiness. May they, and their families, forgive us for not speaking loudly enough.

But the pacifist left, with their skewed moral compass, portrays those who push back against Islamic terror this way:

Know Thine Enemy; Major Hasan is honest about himself; why aren’t we?

Mark Steyn; ...."The U.S. Army seems disinclined to hold anything against him, especially the 13 corpses plus an unborn baby. Major Hasan fired his lawyers, presumably because they were trying to get him off — on the grounds that he’d had a Twinkie beforehand, or his beard don’t fit so you must acquit, or some such. As a self-respecting jihadist, Major Hasan quite reasonably resented being portrayed as just another all-American loon gone postal. So he sacked his defense team, only to have the court appoint a standby defense team just in case there were any arcane precedents and obscure case law he needed clarification on. I know that’s the way your big-time F. Lee Bailey types would play it, but it doesn’t seem to be Major Hasan’s style. On the very first day of the trial, he stood up and told the jury that “the evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter.” Later, in one of his few courtroom interventions, he insisted that it be put on the record that “the alleged murder weapon” was, in fact, his. The trial then came to a halt when the standby defense team objected to the judge that Major Hasan’s defense strategy (yes, I did it; gimme a blindfold, cigarette, and tell the virgins here I come) would result in his conviction and execution."

The Imperial President Will Act on His Own


Heritage   "Obama’s imperial presidency has manifested itself in many ways. Often he willfully neglects his constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” As we’ve seen with education, immigration, and health care, suspending the law amounts to rewriting the law.
"Other times, the President is more direct. The legislative power may be vested in Congress, but that didn’t stop him from rewriting welfare legislation on his own, hollowing out the successful federal work requirements.
"Unfortunately, it appears that this is only the beginning of Obama’s imperialism."

President Obama's Purposeless Foreign Policy

National Review Online "The disorder of today’s world is imposing a very big question: Whatever is the purpose of President Obama’s foreign policy? The United States is refusing to accept its superpower responsibility, and commentators the world over are trying to interpret this mystery. No good can possibly come of a foreign policy that indulges enemies but restrains allies. The vaunted “reset” of relations with President Putin has given Russia opportunities not seen since the Soviet era. Putin now has a lock on Iran and Syria that reduces American policy to incoherence. The Iraqi government and even the small-time Palestinian Authority have been put into a position to dictate to the United States. Joe Joffe, one of the most far-sighted political interpreters in Germany, has come up with the neat summary that the United States, inventor of the Cold War concept of containment, has turned instead to self-containment."....David Pryce-Jones

'Credible fear'; Sudden Flood of Asylum Requests at U.S./Mexico Border

Big Government   "At the Otay crossing near the San Diego border last Monday, about 200 people coming from Mexico gained entry to the United States all using the same key phrase; they claimed they had a 'credible fear' of drug cartels."
....
 ...."This connection between the 'Dream 9' and the tactic of asylum was made by Spanish-language news source La Opiniòn. They report (translation by Google Translation) in an article entitled El asilo se volvió un sueño (in English: The asylum becomes a dream): "....
Following the release of nine Dreamers prisoners in Arizona, after a protest at the border, others have taken the path of asylum as a way to solve their deportation.
Media reports in San Diego are reporting that "hundreds of foreigners are trying to enter the country in the same way" and even that immigrants are being taught to use key phrases that they can stay in the country.
 
Rick Moran; Say the secret words, get admitted to the US     "Just this past Monday, Border Patrol agents say about 200 people came through the Otay Crossing claiming a quote: "credible fear" of the drug cartels."


Jesse Jackson Speaks About Florida Black-on-White Bus Beating

Big Government  "Many are asking questions about the silence from civil right "leaders" such as Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton about the recent beating of a white student by three black classmates on a Florida school bus, given their role in turning the Trayvon Martin case into a national civil rights controversy. I caught up with Rev. Jackson at Chicago’s annual Bud Billiken Back-to-School Parade on Saturday.

"Here was Jackson's full, unedited response:"....
When he names those who have killed black men, notice who he does not include. This man's fortune and future depend on keeping white-on-black violence first and foremost in our minds.

Defiance

Heritage  " “We’re losing the country,” a Maryland man said at a town hall meeting. I want to see more defiance!
"He wasn’t talking to local tea partiers; he was talking to his Republican Member of Congress.
"It is time to take a stand against Obamacare. Heritage President Jim DeMint and Heritage Action for America CEO Michael Needham are echoing this grassroots call for defiance."
