Look What Arianna Huffington Said Would Happen if Romney Was Elected
From Twitchy:
"Perfect.
"The list of those who warned that Mitt Romney’s “antiquated” opinion about Russia remaining a foe to the U.S. would harm relations between the two countries continues to grow and grow."
REMINDER: Obama and Democrats LIED to the Entire Country About ObamaCare
American Glob "Democrats are going on national news programs and claiming that Republicans are lying about ObamaCare. When I saw this exchange on Greta Van Susteren’s show, I swore at the the TV.
"Loudly.
"Have Democrats forgotten that Obama told the biggest ObamaCare lie of all? Does if you like your plan, you can keep your plan ring a bell?
"But, but, but… THE KOCH BROTHERS…"
"Democrats must be reminded of this every single time they say Republicans are lying about ObamaCare.
"THEY lied about ObamaCare.
"OBAMA lied about ObamaCare.
"Their allies in media lied about ObamaCare.
"This has NOTHING to do with the Koch brothers."

"It's pointless to pay attention to foreign policy when a Democrat is president, unless you enjoy having your stomach in a knot. As long as a Democrat sits in the White House, America will be repeatedly humiliated, the world will become a much more dangerous place -- and there's absolutely nothing anybody can do about it. (Though this information might come in handy when voting for president, America!)"
....
"A few short years into Obama's presidency -- and al-Qaida is back! For purely political reasons, as soon as he became president, Obama removed every last troop from Iraq, despite there being Americans troops deployed in dozens of countries around the world.
"In 2004, nearly 100 soldiers, mostly Marines, died in the battle to take Fallujah from al-Qaida. Today, al-Qaida's black flag flies above Fallujah.
Bush won the war, and Obama gave it back."
Angry Atheist Sues to Take Down Peace Cross – a WW I Memorial
"Christian-haters now want to eliminate War Memorials that have no religious inscriptions simply for being in the shape of a cross. The Atheists at The American Humanist Association are suing to have the Peace Cross removed from a regional park in Bladensburg, Md. though it has no religious inscriptions of any kind.
"Rewriting our history is worthy of a Bolshevik empire but that is what a wormy-tongued Humanist named Roy Speckhardt hopes to do.
"They claim that the “massive Christian cross” is an unconstitutional endorsement of a religion by government. The structure is a war memorial, not a religious monument and it is historical."
Video: DNC attendees can’t name a single Hillary accomplishment
Hot Air "A clever rejoinder from CNS to the “Ready for Hillary” crowd: What is it, exactly, that you’re ready for? Lest you think they’re cherry-picking the least articulate Democrats they ran into, have a look at this new data from Pew. Alex Seitz-Wald, citing other data from the same poll, frets that Benghazi is more of a liability for Hillary than liberals think because it topped the list of her biggest negatives at 15 percent. Is that really her biggest liability, though? Behold:"....
"The above photo is obviously going to haunt Pant Suits in 2016 (along with a million other things), looks like she’s doing some early damage control."
The Democrat military
"I think you'll be very surprised. It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the U.S. is not in the game because the present Administration has chosen not to be. But it's also true that the steady shrinking of the U.S. Navy since 1992 has handed President Obama and the anti-war Democrats a perfect excuse for inaction.
"This explains Defense Secretary Robert Gates and senior military officers' controversial remarks last week about the difficulty of the U.S. intervening against Muammar Gaddafi's regime in Libya."
Speaking of carriers, this urban legend is going around that these carriers were moth-balled by President Obama, but that is not true, according to Snopes. Their site tells us the carriers were simply docked for the Christmas holidays in 2012 to allow families to be together.
Although the Norfolk photograph was circulated in March 2013 as something snapped "the other day," it was actually taken in mid-December 2012, when many U.S. Navy ships of all types were briefly docked at a number of fleet concentration areas to facilitate the practice of giving ships' crews a chance to spend part of the holiday season with their families: Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/carriers.asp#e65lekEiXUbEzQo6.99

Flashback: Senator Obama pushed bill that helped destroy more than 15,000 TONS of ammunition, 400,000 small arms and 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles in Ukraine "As a U.S. senator, Barack Obama won $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine destroy thousands of tons of guns and ammunition – weapons which are now unavailable to the Ukrainian army as it faces down Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Crimea."
Obama calls for a more humble American foreign policy " 'And part of what we have to navigate … is going to be our ability to help countries provide a voice for people who have previously been voiceless; to allow them to determine their own destiny, but to do it with some humility, recognizing that in each of these societies, we’re not going to be able to impose order," he said."

"Secretary of State John Kerry went on Meet the Press Sunday and chastised the Russians for breaking three different international treaties by seizing the Crimea from Ukraine. White House response was swift and angry. President Obama just threatened to unfriend Putin on Facebook." Argus Hamilton

Below, the first Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover:
Guys, this is just one of many swimsuit photos at this link.
Many thanks for these to former schoolmate from Garibaldi, Oregon, Bill Smith. Bill is another of many that I recall having seen playing cowboys and Indians around Garibaldi, but is now referred to as "Grandpa". TD

Christians Vow Civil Disobedience if Home-School Family is Deported
Todd Starnes " 'Christians in an east Tennessee community are vowing to engage in civil disobedience if the Obama administration initiates deportation proceedings against a Southern Baptist family from Germany who sought asylum in the United States so that they could home school their children.
“ 'It may require civil disobedience with this bunch,” said Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), who represents the congressional district where the Romeike family lives.
“ 'I am furious about this,” the congressman told me. “You’ve got law-abiding people who did everything right who simply want to home school their kids. We used to be that great shining city on a hill. There’s some rust on that city if we are doing free people this way.”
"Roe was among many Tennesseans outraged over the Supreme Court decision not to hear the Romeike’s appeal to stay in the United States. The Christian couple sought asylum in 2008 after they fled Germany so they could home school their children.
"The family was initially granted asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution." Full article.
Iranian general: Obama’s threats are ‘the joke of the year’
"Masoud Jazayeri says the ‘low-IQ’ president’s ‘all options are on the table’ remarks are a farce; warns against US strike."
“ 'The low-IQ US president and his country’s Secretary of State John Kerry speak of the effectiveness of ‘the US options on the table’ on Iran while this phrase is mocked at and has become a joke among the Iranian nation, especially the children,” General Masoud Jazayeri said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
"Jazayeri was responding to the US president’s interview in Bloomberg on Sunday, in which Obama maintained that the Iranian leadership should take his “all options on the table” stance — including the warning of a potential military strike — seriously.".Read more.
Apparently the enemies of the US do not share the opinion of Letterman writer Bill Scheft that Mr. Obama is “a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that.” The Tunnel Dweller

An appearance on Letterman trumps meeting with Netanyahu.
"During the same week when the American ambassador to Libya was murdered and his dead body dragged through the streets by celebrating mobs, the president of the United States found time to go on the David Letterman show to demonstrate his sense of humor and how cool he is.
"But Barack Obama did not have time to meet with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a nation repeatedly threatened with annihilation by Iranian leaders who are working feverishly toward the creation of nuclear bombs."
