In the opening of a column in Thursday’s Washington Post, liberal commentator E. J. Dionne shares an anecdote. “The most incisive reaction to Mitt Romney’s disparaging comments about 47 percent of us,” he writes, “came from a conservative friend who emailed: ‘If I were you, I’d wonder why Romney hates America so much.’” As debating strategies go, this tactic is pretty weak. Dionne is citing as support for his argument one anonymous voice out of a vast chorus of opponents that he claims agrees with him. Actually, Dionne doesn’t fully agree with his source. He goes on to suggest that...

The Department of Homeland Security has purchased 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition- that is not a typo -- during the last six months. This includes 450 million rounds of .40 hollow point, 200 million rounds of .223 rifle ammunition, and 176,000 rounds of .308 168-grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) that is used almost exclusively as ammo for sniper rifles. From beforeitsnews.com we read: Why is everyone all up in arms about the recent purchase by Homeland security of 1.4 Billion rounds of ammunition? Our undeclared Foreign War in Iraq Consumes about 70,000,000 (70 Million) Rounds of Ammunition Each Year,...

In the 1998 video (linked below) of Obama saying "I actually believe in redistribution," he also said he was looking for a "trick" to structure government in a more effective way to accomplish that redistribution of wealth, but he also criticized Chicago public schools and the Chicago Housing authority which is the perfect opportunity, less than two months away from election day, to remind us of how Obama and his cronies work when it comes to housing, schools, and his commitment to both... In the video Obama said the the Chicago Housing Authority "has not been a model of good...

Alarming, not because you or I take this stooge seriously but because lots of dopey liberals do, and not just here in the U.S. At a moment when the left’s dimmer lights are taking a second look at blasphemy laws, it’s repulsive that a guy charged with defending human rights would equivocate on speech. But not surprising: The Organization of the Islamic Conference has used the UN for years as a platform to push anti-blasphemy resolutions. That’s textbook Islamism, exploiting an ostensibly liberal institution to advance illiberal goals. Say what you want about Ban, but he’s speaking for an awful...

Count the cost.... and the consequences! "All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences than in its intentions." Reinhold Niebuhr - Writer / Philosopher I am constantly saying to my kids, "Think before you act...", "Don't be over zealous...", "Stay with the group", " Think about those around you! How will your decisions affect others?" But you know what... it has absolutely no effect on them...! They think they know better, so they touch the stove, or jump off that high thing, or they swing to fast, and not wear a helmet and then suffer the consequences because...

For reasons known only to him Barack Obama has worked diligently to cultivate an ongoing state of war between his Administration and America’s business community. This is a clear and established fact. As naïve as Obama seems to be, it is possible that he will now start getting pummeled by the enemies he has made and not realize it until after Election Day. Obama never held a real job in his life. Like most Democrats he knows nothing about how profits are made and payrolls are met. All he “knows” about business is that it is the “root of all...

Vanity Those Tokyo Rove types and the useful idiots at Faux News can crawl out from under their desks now. At least one poll showing Barack Obama ahead in the swing state of Pennsylvania has been exposed as the fake it is. The evidence is clear and convincing. The accompanying answering machine audio catches a robocall poll declaring silence to be a vote for Barack Obama. How else could he possibly even be close – which he is not?

On February 27, 1933 at about 9:25 PM a fire in Germany’s Reichstag building was detected. The Reichstag building was the assembly place for the German Parliament. After a brief “investigation” Adolph Hitler’s Nazis, who had already begun to take control of Germany, arranged the arrest of a Dutch Communist who was charged with the arson. The fire and the destruction it brought was blamed on this handy scape goat, and Herr Hitler then pointed to him and used the fire as a reason for demanding dictatorial powers over Germany. Civil liberties soon started to disappeared and mass arrests of...

watched Doug Giles this a m Then I did more reading about the planned attack in the Mid East; There is a possibility that was Hillary's frosting on the cake to help create that crises Rahm was talking about when he said that a crises is a terrible thing to waste. Remember; they are all in the same camp. They know 9-11 is the anniversary; They know the muslims are not partial to them; (homosexuals) Mr Obama knows a crisis is a bad thing to waste; they know Mr Obama will probably try to use that for his takeover that...

No doubt that that paranoid right wing pseudo-documenatry 2016: Obama's America has been a huge success at the box office grossiing some $30 million to date. Last month Courtney covered the film (HERE) and we got a ton of comments - especially from hard core fans of the fans saying how much they loved it and that people stood up and applauded at the end of the film. No doubt the same type of people who stand up and applaud at cross burnings. In reality 2016 is nothing more than a modern day new version of the infamous 1962 TV...

Is Obama gay? When I first heard a few days ago that Obama might be gay, my initial reaction was, that's ridiculous. He's married, has two kids, and he's never set off my gaydar. I had read a few years ago about Larry Sinclair, who claimed he had given Obama oral sex when Obama was a state senator. But at the time I just figured that any famous person is bound to attract a few loonies who will say anything to get publicity. But after I read the article linked two posts ago (and directly below), I started reading more...

One of the key stories of 2011 was the revelation, courtesy of MF Global, that no asset in the financial system is "as is", and instead is merely a copy of a copy of a copy- rehypothecated up to an infinite number of times (if domiciled in the UK) for one simple reason: there are not enough money-good, credible assets in existence, even if there are more than enough 'secured' liabilities that claim said assets as collateral. And while the status quo is marching on, the Ponzi is rising, and new liabilities are created, all is well; however, the second...

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing ..." --Mitt RomneyIn our relatively short 200+ year history, America has experienced a handful of watershed events. The Civil War was probably chief among them, with the fate of the union standing in the balance, and brothers fighting against...

Pamela Geller told Fox and Friends’ Tucker Carlson that Barack Obama was literally “…sanctioning the motives behind the murderous Muslim riots by trying to silence the Muhammad filmmakers.” (1) Geller is right. The clear and perpetual purpose of Muslim Jihadists is the intimidation into silence and submission of all who dare express any view which operatives of the cult of Islam consider contrary to the will of Muhammed or the “divine” call-to-global-murder he manufactured 1400 years ago. After the attacks on the American Embassy in Cairo, Barack Hussein Obama acted precisely according to the dictates of his Marxist-Islamist upbringing as...

Republicans and Democrats have been guilty of buying votes by promising FREE STUFF to potential voters according to the dictate of Karl Marx: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." This has led to a Polarized America. This polarization has increased as the number of those with ability has decreased and the number of those with needs has increased. Romney is correct that 47 % of voters pay no Personal Federal Income Tax. Romney is probably correct that these same 47 % will vote for Obama no matter what. The Liberal Agenda Media, (LAM), supports...

On Sunday night, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, Malik Zulu Shabazz, appeared on WABC's "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," and claimed that his organization is now thinking about "legally and lawfully go to the polls again to make sure there is no intimidation against our people, which was our intent in 2008." Later in the interview, Shabazz declared: "We will be there." Listen to the full interview at left... Shortly after becoming Attorney General, Eric Holder dropped charges against three Black Panthers, who were caught on video, trying to intimidate white voters outside of a Philadelphia polling location on...

Nearly a year after Occupy Buffalo protesters camped out in Niagara Square, they have discovered that the Coast Guard was monitoring their activities, according to documents obtained last week through a Freedom of Information request. "Everybody thinks FBI, CIA, but no one thinks Coast Guard," said Michael Kuzma, a lawyer who has worked with the organization. The Coast Guard, aware of the unrest in December in Oakland, Calif., where Occupy protesters targeted ports, was monitoring public websites for planned activities but found low or negligible threats to its interests, the documents show. "Our concern was ensuring safety, ensuring the integrity...

The lawyer for Trayvon Martin’s parents harshly criticized efforts by George Zimmerman’s attorneys to obtain the school records and Facebook information for the deceased 17-year-old high school student, saying they were irrelevant to the case. “Zimmerman’s lawyers are attempting to assassinate Trayvon Martin’s character,” said Benjamin Crump, in an interview with BET.com. “Whatever Trayvon had on his Facebook page or whatever was in his school records have nothing to do with why Zimmerman shot him.” Crump said he is seeking to obtain Zimmerman’s medical records. “The medical condition and medical history of George Zimmerman is far more relevant to the...
