Thomas Lifson "The three-minute video embedded below does a great job explaining why Obamacare keeps forcing people out of their existing health insurance plans – and will continue to do so. Robert Graboyes is a senior research fellow at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, and he synthesized a lot of technical details into a highly understandable presentation..." Read more:

The left dislikes conservatives and tries to make it mutual
American leftism has always been about magnifying trivial complaints to serve as excuses for revolutionary action.The Left's Base Motive: Vengeance "American leftism has gotten an awful lot of mileage by monopolizing the moral high ground. It is the sole force in American that favors the poor. The sole enemy of racism. The sole comforter of rape victims. The sole protector of defenseless Muslims. The sole guardian of the environment, and so on ad nauseum.
"It all falls apart eventually -- with friends like the left, nobody needs enemies. But often overlooked is that fact that it’s bogus from the start. Any prolonged glance at the left reveals it to be an ideology of power, its major tool violence, its goal revenge."
..."Leftism has always been about revenge. The works of Marx are filled with fantasies of retribution and judgment. Their tone reeks of resentment and paranoia, with blame cast for even the most trivial. "The bourgeoisie,” Marx once declared in a letter to Engels, “will remember my carbuncles until their dying day.” That’s leftism in a nutshell." Read more:
A final lesson from this sad chapter: Trashing the United States does not satiate foreign despots, but only increases their appetite for their own versions of unwavering and predictable political correctness. Victor Davis Hanson
No longer the American President, huh?
"Russia's Vladimir Putin was voted Most Interesting Man in Russia a month after Forbes named him the Most Powerful Man in the World. He cultivates a macho image. Last night Vladimir Putin struck and killed a deer and he said he feels awful about it, but when he's jogging he's in his own world."

American general: Dems are aiding and abetting the enemy
The Blaze "Retired Army Major Gen. Paul E. Vallely didn’t mince words when describing the so-called torture report issued by partisan Senate Democrats: He said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and the Democrats who supported her efforts are aiding and abetting America’s enemies."It’s clear that the controversial report revived a nearly decade-old debate in an effort at political payback for the CIA and those in the Bush administration who executed the enhanced interrogation program.
"Critics of the Democrats’ report worry of reprisal against Americans abroad as a result of its biased conclusions. Indeed, nobody responsible for implementing the EIT program was interviewed for the report. Those same critics charge that Democrats had a preconceived conclusion and then built a case by cherry-picking information to justify that conclusion.
"As for me, this report confirms that Democrats prefer not to focus on those who attacked and continue to attack us. Instead, Democrats choose to attack those who protect us."

Weasel of the Week!
"Once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!
"Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please…
"VA Right: I am going to nominate Joshua Williams who had become the poster boy for advocating peaceful protests in Ferguson, Mo and was caught torching a Berkeley convenience store last week. So much for peaceful protests.
"On Oct. 13, he was photographed walking arm-in-arm with author and activist Cornell West toward the St. Louis University campus where protesters staged a sit-in.
"Ah well…we all know by now that most of these protests are really just an excuse to act out. And nothing says social justice like looting, attacking people or setting someone else’s property on fire and destroying their livelihood, right? I mean, you care’s how much sweat and hard earned money someone put into that small business or the paychecks the people who worked there won’t be getting?
"Joshua Williams is down for the struggle, y’all. And definitely worthy of the Golden Weasel.
"Well, there it is."
Joshua Williams was the liberal-media darling of the Ferguson protests; now he’s an alleged arsonist.

| Scalise |
"Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the No. 3 Republican in the House, addressed a group of white supremacists and neo-Nazis in 2002, the New York Times reports." ...
Political Wire
"David Duke told Fusion that it was unfair Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was “singled out” for speaking to Duke’white supremacist organization in May 2002, the New Orleans Times Picayune reports.
Duke said that “politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have attended everything from conferences he’s organized to his children’s birthday parties. To say nothing of Republicans, Duke estimates that he has met with Democratic lawmakers a good 50 times. He threatened to release a list with names of Republicans and Democrats who’ve been tied to him in one way or another.”
Said Duke: “If Scalise is going to be crucified — if Republicans want to throw Steve Scalise to the woods, then a lot of them better be looking over their shoulders.' ”
There is no love in a beheading; is Islam capable of a Reformation?
"But whether all Muslims are or are not killers is irrelevant. Studies vary, but one Pew report says that thirty-one percent of Muslims in America have murder or suicide bombing in their hearts.
"Consider that there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. That means that if you reproduce the Pew results globally, approximately 480 million Muslims are potential killers. That’s more than the total American population.
Consider that there are only 22 million Jews in the world. And Jews don’t have the impulsion of the Koran leading them to murder for adultery, honor, or apostasy. Thus, of the 22 million Jews, probably an infinitesimal number have killing in their hearts.
"If every Jew transformed into a murderer the Jews would have only about 20 percent of the potential Muslim killers. So when a liberal says that the Muslims are not that bad and that we shouldn’t profile them, turn your head to the liberal’s profile and say, “You facilitate evil. ”
"It’s time the good Muslims cleaned house. It’s time they swept the jihadists and terrorists into the well.
"It’s time the liberals stopped speaking up for them. It’s time the misogynistic, self-punishing feminists quit supporting Muslim barbarity.
"It’s time we stopped applauding the revolt against traditional values and recognized that our supposedly outdated forefathers were actually right.
Chipotle restaurant and police conflict

LIBERALS: IF THE SHOE DOESN'T FIT, MAKE EVERYONE WEAR IT
"But again, as a result of a hoax racial incident, Democrats are demanding race quotas for arrests. To hell with due process. If we can stop just one thing that never happened from ever happening again, it will have been worth it.
"The only new rule we really need is one to stop these infernal liberal hoaxes."
No grand jury would indict the poor, falsely accused KBR employee who foolishly had sex with Jones, so she filed a civil suit against that one man. The jury ruled for him, and the court ordered Jones to pay $145,000 in legal costs. Jamie Leigh Jones' place in the Crystal Magnum, Tawana Brawley Hall of Fame was thus secured.
A small "conversation" about race that Eric Holder encouraged
A National Conversation about the American Ghetto ... "Media sensationalism this year about two black deaths at the hands of white policemen inflamed the argument, while the president of the United States, the attorney general of the United States, the mayor of New York, and race-hustling entrepreneurs from Al Sharpton on down to any brother in the street with a bullhorn jumped on the black-while-walking bandwagon.
"Here, however, is one standup law-enforcement professional, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., who begs to disagree." ...Read more:

"After all, if the belief on the left is that “anti-government, pro-gun, xenophobic populism” contributed to the Tucson, Aurora, and Newtown tragedies, isn’t it then the president’s responsibility to acknowledge how expressions of sympathy for the Trayvon Martins and Michael Browns of the world might become an inspiration for Ismaayil Brinsley types to attack and kill cops?" ...
