Syria could use chemical weapons if attacked

 

BEIRUT (AP) - Syria threatened Monday to unleash its chemical and biological weapons if the country faces a foreign attack, a desperate warning from a regime that has failed to crush a powerful and strengthening rebellion.

 

The statement - Syria's first-ever acknowledgement that the country possesses weapons of mass destruction - suggests President Bashar Assad will continue the fight to stay in power, regardless of the cost.

Activate: How to turn the 2012 election from a close call to a mandate

Last night, Glenn focused on the importance of commitment. He was the first to admit, a lot of last night's show was something you had heard before - but it's important to start at the beginning and to make sure you know what you believe before you get put into action. And tonight, Glenn revealed ways for you to really get moving! 

Tonight, the focus of the show was "Activate" - and it was all about the election and how you can make sure that one way or another - 2012 is a year for a mandate for or against the progressives. And if you think it doesn't matter just take a look at what is happening right now in Wisconsin. Progressives and unions are doing everything they can to make sure that Walker loses. It's a microcosm to what is happening around the country, and Glenn thought it was so important that he recapped it on tonight's show (in under three minutes!):

Help Glenn spread the message of Restoring Love

Would you like to be a part of the change Glenn will be bringing to "Restoring Love" this week? In the next five minutes, you can help us change the World, by becoming part of the largest simultaneous message of faith ever delivered on social media! Please read on to learn how...

 

Over the past two years, Glenn has traveled the world promoting messages of faith, freedom, honor and love. This Saturday, he's brings the global movement for good to Dallas, Texas with Restoring Love. This series of events concludes with an epic show LIVE from Dallas Cowboys Stadium, featuring a host of musical performances and an empowering speech by Glenn himself.

 

While Restoring Love is going to be a GREAT show, it's more than just a one-day event. Restoring Love launches the next step in this global movement - it's going to take action. Earlier this summer, Glenn gave you four things that you could do to play a role: Commit, Activate, Live it, and Create.

 

In order to do these we have to be able to get our message out without using the mainstream media. But how do you spread a message and spark a movement without help for the media? Easy. Twitter!

 

To get the word out about Restoring Love, and encourage others to join the movement, we're delivering a message by Thunderclap. Thunderclap is a new tool for Facebook and Twitter that provides groups of people who all support a cause the ability to tweet and post a message on Facebook simultaneously in order to reach a potentially massive audience. (Learn more here.)

 

We need your help in order to help spread this message. Here's how it works:

 

1. Go HERE and click "Join this Thunderclap."
2. After joining, you will be prompted to share the Thunderclap campaign on Twitter and/or Facebook.
3. At 11am ET on Saturday, July 28th, together with thousands of others across Facebook and Twitter, you will automatically send out this message:

 

"#RestoringLove is the next step in the movement of peace and freedom. Be a part of history and help restore America. http://thndr.it/OfQPC4"


 

It's important to know that we've worked very carefully with Thunderclap to protect your privacy. None of the information from your social media accounts will be redistributed or sold.

 

We need 500 people to join the Restoring Love Thunderclap by Saturday at 7:00am in order to share the message of Restoring Love with the masses.

Please join today and help Glenn get the message of Restoring Love to even more Americans.

 

Spreading the message of Restoring Love doesn't end there. Make sure search for the #RestoringLove on Twitter to get all the latest news on the ground, behind the scenes photos and exclusive Restoring Love footage from us. Plus, using #RestoringLove will allow you to engage with people attending and watching Restoring Love, and share the messages from the speakers, the music, and other inspiring events you see while at or watching Restoring Love.

Monday, July 23, 11:30 PM

 

Dear Members and Friends,

 

Just in: Contempt of Congress AG Eric Holder has ordered the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate

Pennsylvania's newly enactedVoter ID law--adding an additional hurdle for the law to overcome if it's to be implemented on election day, Tuesday, November 6.

 

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/163500696.html 

 

The timing of the investigation is quite suspect since a Commonwealth Court hearing challenging the law is set to begin in Harrisburg this Wednesday, July 25.

 

The hearing, expected to last 5-7 days, is open to the public. (We encourage you to attend if possible--details below.)

 

And what usual suspects do we find standing behind the lawsuit? Why the

American Civil Liberties Union and their allies, of course.

 

The Voter ID law, which enhances voter integrity by making voter fraud more difficult to conduct, was signed by Gov. Tom Corbett earlier this year. Its passage has obviously frightened the Obama administration and its cohorts.

 

In other matters: Association member Barb Campbell has forwarded a general request by Gov. Mike Huckabee to make Wednesday, August 1, 'Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day.'

 

In line with our Black Friday BuyCott (2011) and Whole Foods BuyCott (2009), we'll call this our 'Chick Fil-A BuyCott, 2012.'

 

In Gov. Huckabee's own words:

 

"....The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1....

 

"This effort is not being launched by the Chick Fil-A company....

Simply affirm [your] appreciation for a company run by Christian principles by showing up on Wednesday, August 1 or by participating online--tweeting your support or sending a message on Facebook."

 

Commonwealth Court Hearing on Voter ID

When:  Wednesday, July 25, 10 AM.  

            (Hearing to last several more days--beginning at 9 AM.)

Where: Courtroom 3002, Pennsylvania Judicial Center, 601

             Commonwealth Ave., Harrisburg, PA.

Who:    Hearing before Judge Robert Simpson and open to the public.

 

We'll try to arrange car pools for those who are interested in

attending. Please let us know if you are driving and would like

company or are in need of a ride by calling 215.663.1983.

 

Many thanks!

 

Chick Fil-A BuyCott

When: Wednesday, August 1, during restaurant hours.

Where: Your neighborhood Chick Fil-A.

 

Hope to see you!

 

On behalf of the Association Board,

Teri Adams

From Peter Friedman:

 

 

Now that I have walked precincts and spoken with voters, and presented my new lecture "Community Organizing to Win Elections!" numerous times, I can give you this empirical info on how we can win in 2012! If you attend neighborhood meetings, town halls, or just speak with your neighbors and friends, use the following tactic: 

"Are you better off than you were four years ago? I'm not! I'm paying twice as much for gas and food. I have had to cut back on things I used to do and buy four years ago. I used to go out to eat three to four times each week, but now I can only go a few times a week because I'm paying so much more for everything!"

 
Use this analogy regarding the 2012 election when you speak to voters: 
"Do you have a 401K or stock portfolio? You know, America is just like a business. If you bought stock in a company four years ago such as Apple, and they hired a new CEO right after, and during the past four years that new CEO ruined the company so that your stock went down in value, what do think should happen to that incompetent CEO?  If you could, would you attend the annual stockholder's meeting and vote that incompetent CEO out?  Would you vote to hire a more competent CEO?  Of course you would!
 
America has an "annual stockholder's meeting" every four years!  It is our Presidential Election!  We are all stockholders in America, and it is our responsibility to have competent management running America ds that our "stock" in America increases in value! "

 
I have used this analogy in walking precincts and have changed the hearts and minds of voters by appealing to logic, reason, and their pocketbook!  People vote with their wallets!   
PRINT THIS OUT AND CARRY IT AROUND WITH YOU TO USE IN CONVERSATIONS!!! 

All talking points when addressing voters or interviewers should only deal with "money" issues! The concept is, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"

 

Question:         Why has the current administration removed food and gas from the Inflation Index?

 

Answer:          To fool US! Removing food and gas from the Inflation Index shows that very little inflation is present benefitting the admninistration's propaganda. How much more are WE paying for such things as a gallon of gas - more than double what it was when Obama was elected - and basic food such as milk, cheese, meat, and fish? Do you think Obama refusing to allow oil drilling off the West and East coasts, the Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska has driven up the price of gas?

 

Question:         Do you know how much California pays public schools for each student?

 

Answer:           California pays more than $14,000 for each student, $67 BILLION a year. If there are an average of 25 students in each public school classroom, that equals $350,000 per classroom. The average wage for a California elementary school teacher is approximately $50,000. That leaves $300,000 per classroom. Where's the money? Why do parents have to give teachers money each year to buy supplies like paper and pencils? Where's the money? Pensions? Benefits?

 

Question:         Does the Government abuse their credit card?

 

Answer:           At the end of each month WE must pay at least the minimum on each credit card. If WE don't pay the balance off each month, the credit card company charges US interest on the amount WE don't pay. At some point WE will discover that OUR balances are so high that WE will never be able to pay off OUR credit card debt, and must declare bankruptcy. Our government continues to borrow $.40 of every dollar spent! This is a "credit card" WE can never pay off! It has to stop!

 

Question:         How much is Obama's portion of the National Debt, really?

 

Answer:           Do WE as taxpayers really owe that $5 TRILLION dollars that Obama ran up? In fact, WE taxpayers owe $10 TRILLION dollars, not just $5 TRILLION! What did WE taxpayer's get for that $5 TRILLION dollars of any value to offset that $5 TRILLION debt? Apparently nothing! Money doesn't disappear into thin air - it goes somewhere to somebody! Wouldn't you like to know who got it?

 

Without this information YOU are powerless to change anything. Elected officials do NOT want you to have that information because you could hold them accountable. I bet a lot of them would wind up in prison! It is in their interest to keep you in the dark. It is up to you to turn on the lights!

STOP the Smartmeter NOW  

 

Dear Patriots,

 

Just to make you aware, Smartmeters are here.  After thorough investigation and talking with PECO, they are currently installing Smartmeters in PA.  Several people have contacted PECO and told them that we did not want the Smartmeter.  Their response is they run the risk of having their electricity turned off. 

 

Just a background on Smartmeters:  In 2008, Act 129 was passed and signed into law by Governor Rendell to make Smartmeters mandatory in PA.  How will this affect you?  You will be required to install a smart meter in your home which will be monitored by your electric company on a minute to minute basis.  The video below explains how the smartmeter was started and where they plan to go with this which will be monitored constantly (new utilities will have smart meter chips in them.

 

Do you want PECO or the Government monitoring your electricity usage?  If this is such a great thing, why is it being forced upon us and if not taken, you take the risk of having your power turned off.  Once on the grid, the government through PECO will be able to monitor each and control all of your electric utilities.  Do you want the department of energy monitoring your usage of electric via PECO and possibly turning off your electric and certain peak hours (as explained in this video).

 

http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-berks/Met-Ed-customers-seeing-red-over-green-program/-/121418/15203070/-/prtufy/-/index.html

 

What you can do:  Representative Reese from Westmoreland County has introduced two bills which are in the Consumer Affairs Committee.   ONE BILL WOULD ALLOW FOR OPTING OUT OF GETTING A SMART METER THE OTHER BILL WOULD REQUIRE CONSUMER CONSENT BEFORE INFORMATION FROM THE METER COULD BE SHARED WITH A GOVERNMENT AGENCY.  Please contact the people listed in the link and let them know that we want these bills brought to the floor for the vote.  This is our local electric company being used for the UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development).   We need everyone's involvement so pass on to everyone you know.  Let's make an effort to get this out of committee.

 Explanation of Smartmeters is in this link.  It is a little long, but you need to see how the global market is taking over our liberties.

 

http://www.freedomadvocates.org/video/watch/129_technocracy_sustainable_development_and_the_smart_grid/

 

 

By the way, PECO took 200 million in stimulus money in PA to implement the smartmeters.  They are using taxpayers money to enslave us.

 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2009/10

 

Please contact state representatives immediately.  Let's protect our properties rights.

 

http://stopsmartmeters.org/how-you-can-stop-smart-meters/

 

I have contacted PECO and told them not to install a smartmeter on my house.  I would suggest doing the same with your electric company.  They need a loud outcry from the american people.  I will also be putting this sticker on my meter.  I will be editing the wording down below, but here it is.

Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots  

 Dear Patriots,

I wanted to get out the information about the Romney HQ Grand Opening as soon as possible so you have it. I'll put together a summary of the July 12 meeting when I have more time.

It should be noted that we are not a shill for the moribund Republican establishment. You've got your RINOs, but don't forget you've also got your Mitch Daniels's and Scott Walkers and Steve Kings - true patriots. We should target our anger not at the Party, but at what's wrong with the party. We are working on that.

Bottom line, I think we all agree that the tide of the River Socialism is rising, and we ALL must come to the banks to stack sandbags. When it comes to fighting for liberty and America, come one come all. I think Dan's words last night were good, and spoken in earnest. The Repubs and the Tea Party have a single goal, to stave off this culture of entitlement, to stay out of world government, to knock down the imposition of our Federal govt. The R-party has tools we can use, we will use them and be happy warriors while doing it. I don't feel ashamed of working for Mitt anyway - he seems like a "good guy" (in that the left is clamoring for skeletons in the closet and failing miserably), and who knows, maybe he'll surprise us and bring the country together under liberty.

-Jim

Here's the flier for tomorrow.  

 

Montgomery County Victory Center

 

Conshohocken Grand Opening Featuring Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey

 

Saturday July 14th, 2012 at 9:00am

  • The Montgomery County Victory Center is celebrating its grand opening this Saturday, July 14 at 9:00am, and we are very excited to announce that Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey will be joining us to help open our office. This event will kick off our efforts to turn Montgomery County red this November, and to help restore fiscal accountability to Washington. Along with the morning festivities, we will be phone banking and door knocking, to make sure Montgomery County residents know the harm that Obama's economic policies are doing to the country.
  • Our office is located at 200 West Ridge Pike, in Conshohocken, at the corner of Ridge and Butler Pike. We are in the Plymouth Square Shopping Center, in the old Rockaway Bedding store, located between the REI and the Pets Plus.
  • Senator Pat Toomey represented the Lehigh Valley in Congress from 1999-2005, where he earned a name for himself as a strong fiscal conservative who was not afraid to buck his own party on spending. From 2005 until 2009 he served as the head of the Club for Growth, a pro-growth political action committee that promotes lower taxes, limited government, and economic freedom. In 2010 he rode the conservative wave into the US Senate, where he has distinguished himself as a fiscal conservative. Senator Toomey served on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction in the summer of 2011, and this fall he will become chair of the United States Senate Steering Committee, which focuses on conservative policy direction. He has proposed his own budget when Democrats in the Senate are now almost three years without drafting their own budget.

 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday to help us take our country back and send Washington a message that their era of reckless spending is over.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Montgomery County Field Director, Perry Bentley, at (717)-686-2219 or at pbentley@pagop.org.

Join Us on Fridays and Take a Stand for Israel:    

ZOA Fridays

 

 

 

 



By allowing our attention to be focused exclusively on the danger and prevention of terrorism, we ignore the many other ways we are being attacked. Specifically, we are missing what our Islamist enemies call their 'civilization jihad' - a form of warfare that employs manipulative financial techniques, lawfare, infiltration of our civil institutions and government and insidious information dominance. Together, these have the effect of exploiting our liberties and governing structures against us, so that our leaders wind up imposing the very anti-American values that our enemies promote.

Welcome to The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within - a 10-part, web-based video briefing that is designed to explain why and how this is happening.

It addresses a threat most Americans are unaware even exists within our country, let alone the degree of peril it represents.
The threat is the totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call "shariah" and the organized, disciplined and increasingly successful efforts by such adherents-- most especially the Muslim Brotherhood-- to bring it here.

We are making this course available in the hope of encouraging, informing and broadening support for national efforts to defeat the insinuation into this country of shariah's anti-constitutional and seditious program.

"Losing our Sons": Documentary looks at domestic Islamic radicalization and jihadization

 

 

Losing Our SonsCharles Jacobs at Americans for Peace and Tolerance announced today the release of a trailer for their upcoming documentary, "Losing Our Sons", featuring Melvin Bledsoe - father of domestic terrorist Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mohamed who gunned down US Army recruiter Pvt. William Long at an Army-Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2009. Melvin Bledsoe testified at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this month.

 

The upcoming documentary discusses how Bledsoe was radicalized by the Muslim Student Association in Tennessee and sent to terrorist training in Yemen with the written recommendation of the imam of a Nashville mosque. It also discusses how the agents of radicalization in the Nashville Muslim community have been aided by collaborators in the establishment media, politics and the so-called "interfaith" community.

"I was literally stunned. Wow!
Brigitte Gabriel has assembled an incredible team to support her message of action and hope!"

"...As much as the issue depresses me, and I could cry every time I think about what is happening to the West, I left yesterday's conference energized and inspired. The day reminded me that I am *not* alone, after all, in trying to resist the dangerous absurdity of radical Islam that is being forced on us. I'm in desperate need of such reminders, as I'm sure most of us are. Whenever I'm close to despair, I remind myself of Brigitte's message. Thank you so much for this incredible training day!"

The Heritage Foundation The Case Against Obamacare: Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

 

A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

Building on decades of Heritage research, The Case Against Obamacare: A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress examines 15 key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Each report:

   

  • Cites specific sections of the 2,700-page health care law
  • Provides detailed analysis of specific Obamacare provisions
  • Identifies key principles for a better way to reform health care

The unmistakable conclusion of this series is that Obamacare must be fully repealed. Congress cannot build sound market-based health care reform on the flawed foundation of this health care law. Until it can be repealed, Congress must employ its full powers authorized by the Constitution to:

The False "Marriage Equality" Slogan
for so-called "Same Sex Marriage"  

A note from CFN Editor John Vennari:

 
Dr. Dennis Bonnette, with whom I am privileged to study scholastic philosophy, has made a terrific distinction about so called "Marriage Equality", which is the battle slogan for 'same-sex marriage'.

I publish his words in the hope you will find this useful.

He summarizes his argument in a comment he just posted on a national/journal website and it runs as follows:

 
Homosexuals have always had the exact same rights as heterosexuals, that is, the right to marry a person of the opposite sex. They just do not wish to exercise that right. They want a new "right," the right to marry a person of the same sex. Society has never granted such a "right" to anyone -- certainly not to heterosexuals. So much for claims of demanding "marriage equality." They have always had it. They just want something different.

Victory Center" on Facebook

-Gabriel Malor

Last week I had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek at the RNC's new Facebook application. Designed, in the words of one RNC staffer to "take our message where the people are," the Social Victory Center app will, among other things, hook users up with campaign news targeted based on their location and preferences (which Facebook already knows, of course), let users join volunteer efforts, distribute voter registration forms, and provide an online phone bank, all without leaving the Facebook website. It will also, if users wish, put those activities on the user's Facebook wall, letting their friends see what they're up to and, hopefully, encouraging them to join in.

GOP Facebook

 

It's an attempt to leverage Facebook's popularity in a new way and, at the moment, the Democrats have nothing like it. The Social Victory Center was unveiled to the public yesterday, so if you're on Facebook, check it out. As the general election ramps up, check back for volunteer activities as they're added. Also, like I did in 2008, I'll be pushing online phone banking in the final weeks of the election, only this time the RNC will have done the heavy-lifting that the McCain team wasn't too keen on.

RedState Morning Briefing

RedState Morning Briefing

For July 24, 2012

 

 

1. Mitt Romney is Too Far to the Right . . .

The casual consumer of news hears it all the time and not just from Democratic pundits. Reporters, pundits, and concern trolls in the media fret that Romney has had to move too far right. He's just too conservative.

These same people never stop to examine Barack Obama. Between the two, Barack Obama has repeatedly surrounded himself with people who actually don't much care for the United States. Writing that may anger people, but it is actual, factual, fact.

Instead of considering if Mitt Romney is too far to the right, perhaps we should consider if Barack Obama is too far to the left.

 

2. The Cycle of Government: Subsidize the Living; Tax the Dead; Benefit the Corporate Cronies

In recent weeks, we've been subjected to mellifluous pandering to our nation's farmers by liberals in both parties. They admonish us about the need to provide farmers with a "safety net" and to protect them from catastrophic events. To that end, they are pushing a massive $1 trillion Ag subsidy, which happens to contain over $750 billion in food stamp spending.

Aside for the fact that crop insurance is something that should be dealt with in the private sector, these supporters of Ag subsidies - especially the Democrats - are hypocritical in their treatment of farmers.

 

3. Another Senseless, Preventable Death Lies At The Door of Planned Parenthood

A young woman has died after having a second-trimester abortion at a Chicago-area Planned Parenthood clinic. Tonya Reaves, 24, died late Friday night, according to a local CBS television station, of hemorrhage, with a cervical dilation and evacuation, according to the medical examiner's office following an autopsy after the abortion that claimed her life.

Family Security Matters

Outing the Muslim Brotherhood

by DIANA WEST
July 23, 2012

Be alarmed: The U.S. government continues to be "advised by organizations and individuals that the U.S. government itself has identified in federal courts as fronts for the international Muslim Brotherhood."

So wrote Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., in a lengthy, heavily footnoted answer to a query last week from Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. He was seeking more information about the reasons Bachmann plus four other House Republicans - Louis Gohmert (Texas), Trent Franks (Ariz.), Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.) and Thomas Rooney (Fla.) - requested Inspector General investigations into "potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration" of the government. (See all of the letters here.)

Yes, that would be the same Muslim Brotherhood whose leaders are sweeping to power in the Middle East - most recently in Egypt. There, the new president, Mohamed Morsi, fired up voters this spring by declaring: "The Koran is our constitution. The Prophet Muhammad is our leader. Jihad is our path. And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration." That, by the way, is the Muslim Brotherhood's motto.

Brotherhood-linked groups in the U.S. still take a low-key approach, at least publicly. Thanks to the FBI discovery of a key Muslim Brotherhood document, we know what they're up to, even who some of them are. The document, entered into evidence during the landmark Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance trial, presents the Brotherhood plan for "civilization-jihad" against the U.S. It describes the group's "grand jihad" to destroy "the Western civilization from within ... so that it is eliminated and (Islam) is made victorious over all religions." Further, it declares Brotherhood support for "the global Islamic state wherever it is." It also lists 29 of "our organization and the organizations of our friends" - i.e., front groups. Among them are such well-known Islamic organizations as the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, and the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, both of which remain unindicted co-conspirators.

What is beyond shocking - beyond reason - is that such anti-American Brotherhood-linked groups and individuals have variously engaged, particularly since 9/11, with the U.S. government. Is it a coincidence that U.S. policy has since become receptive to, if not openly supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood? This is the serious question these House Republicans want answered.

PJ Media

McCarthyism and Mohamed Elibiary 

Patrick Poole's disturbing findings about the Department of Homeland Security official, reported at PJ Media last year, have still not been refuted.

by
Robert Spencer

  July 23, 2012 

 

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and four other representatives are now being accused of McCarthyism over the letter they sent to defense, diplomatic, intelligence, and law-enforcement agencies asking them to investigate Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the U.S. government. The implication is that Bachmann, like McCarthy (at least according to liberal myth), hurled false accusations damaging to the careers and livelihoods of innocent people. What no one is bothering to establish, however, is that the allegations are actually false, much less that they will damage anyone's career.

The questions swirling around Department of Homeland Security official Mohamed Elibiary are a case in point. Bachmann's letter to DHS's inspector general states that Elibiary has "extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood" and "sympathy for Islamist causes," and accuses him of "gain(ing) access to classified documents."

 

Last week, Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of the signers of the letters asking for investigation of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration, asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about Elibiary. Gohmert put this question to Napolitano: "Are you saying before this Congress right now, that as secretary of Homeland Security, that it is a lie that Mohamed Elibiary downloaded material from a classified website using the secret security clearance you gave him? Are you saying that's a lie?"

 

Napolitano responded: "I'm saying that is inaccurate. That is correct." But when Gohmert pressed her on what was inaccurate about it, Napolitano began talking about prejudice against Muslims, and then said: "I'm saying that he ... as far as I know ... he did not download classified documents." Gohmert saw through that immediately, responding: "One of the games that gets played by some people who come up here and testify is that they have somebody not provide them with adequate information so that they can come in her and say 'so far as I know,' 'not to my knowledge,' that kind of thing, and they obscure the truth." Then he asked Napolitano: "Has Elibiary's status on Homeland Security Advisory Council changed?" Napolitano said that it had not.

Hillary's adviser has Muslim Brotherhood ties.

by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY 

Der Spiegel pointed out the obvious: "A certain role of the Muslim Brotherhood in the transition process [to 'democracy'] in Egypt seems acceptable to the Obama White House." It was early February 2011, the moment when the uprising that would oust Hosni Mubarak was bubbling over in Tahrir Square. The prominent German newsmagazine figured, who better to ask about the Muslim Brotherhood than the American political establishment's resident foreign-policy genius, John McCain?

So That This Never Happens Again
The first reaction to the Aurora Massacre was the usual call for making sure that "this never happens again". Everyone from New York City Mayor Bloomberg to author Salman Rushdie to mystery writer Patricia Cornwell called for imposing gun control to insure "this never happens again".

 
And yet if we were to confiscate every privately owned firearm and outlaw the manufacture of new ones in the country, if we were to forcibly institutionalize anyone suspected of being mentally ill, and if we added naked scanners to movie theaters; we still could not insure that this will never happen again.

And yet Colorado has half the murder rate of Illinois, as adjusted for population. Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and New Hampshire, all full of guns, have far lower murder rates than gun control states like New York, California and Illinois. According to Bloomberg, "If we had fewer guns, we would have a lot fewer murders." But guns are not proportional to murders.

Utah has the second highest gun ownership rate in the country and the eighth lowest homicide rate. Wyoming, the state with the fourth highest gun ownership rate has the fourth lowest homicide rate. Meanwhile New York is 48th in gun ownership, but is the 18th highest in its murder rate.

We escape tragedy by searching for control and this is an obscene gift that we give to liberalism and its counterpart, the police state. Both promise us a better and safer world in exchange for our freedom. After every tragedy they promise us that they can keep it from happening again. They can't. No one can.

The illusion of control attempts to tie James Holmes to some larger issue, whether it's gun control or movie violence. It ignores the banality of individual evil, to make him into some larger monster that we can fight. But sometimes there is no meaning to evil except that it exists. No way to make sense of it or transform into a social crusade. Evil just is.

We can make war on organized or semi-organized enemies. We can bomb Hiroshima, round up the Mafia, launch drone strikes on Al-Qaeda leaders and break up cartels. We cannot however make war on the evil that lurks unexpectedly in human brains.

The edifice of government towers over public life. It is built for fighting systems, groups and "Isms'" and it can be used to ban guns, lock up the mentally ill or launch another one of its incessant public education campaigns. Its ability to stop an individual bent on causing harm to other individuals is highly limited at best.

That is where the illusion of control breaks down. The system can promise to stop gun violence, but it can't stop a man with a gun. All it can do is exploit the tragedy for more power. Only individuals can stop individuals. The only control we can possibly have comes from living in a society where the people do the right thing... and are empowered to do the right thing.

BREAKING: 43 Weapons in Phoenix Traffic Stop Linked to Holder's Gunrunning Scandal

 

By: Lori Jane Gliha

The ABC15 Investigators have linked an additional 43 weapons recovered during a Phoenix traffic stop to the controversial Fast and Furious ATF case.

 

According to court paperwork, Phoenix Drug Enforcement Administration agents discovered the guns in mid-April. They pulled over a vehicle near 83rd Avenue and Interstate 10, near the Phoenix and Tolleson border.

Exclusive: Proof of Huma's Ties to Muslim Brotherhood

There is a reason that Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) chose to smear Michele Bachmann after the Congresswoman from Minnesota responded to Ellison's hollow, 3-page screed by sending him a 16-page letter with 59 separate footnotes he refuses to acknowledge.

 

That reason is that Michele Bachmann is telling the undisputed truth about why Americans should be very concerned about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration.

We have produced a 37-page report that unequivocally proves Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff and closest advisor - Huma Abedin - does in fact have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

Republicans who defend her (John McCain, Scott Brown, Marco Rubio, and John Boehner) are on the wrong side of history and are putting their country at great risk by choosing the wrong side on an issue with very grave possibilities.

Romney's lead among veterans is something Dopey Joe Biden would call a "Big %&*king deal"

Jul 23, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 

By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer

 A new Rasmussen survey released yesterday finds Mitt Romney with a 59/35 lead over Barack Obama among America's 21.8 million veterans.

 So is this a Dopey Joe Biden "Big %^&king deal"? You bet it is.     

 In 2008  John McCain, himself an honorably discharged veteran with a true claim to war hero status, won the veteran's vote by just 10 points (54/44)  which was 6 points off the margin George Bush enjoyed while beating John Kerry in 2004. In a down year for Republican turnout the veteran turnout was 15.8 million or 71% which was 6 points higher than even the African American turnout.

 The vast majority of veterans are White males who are already supporting Romney at about a 70/30 rate.

 The 35% of veterans expressing support for Obama are likely represented by the 2.4 million African Americans and 1.2 million Hispanics among the ... Continue Reading:Romney's lead among veterans is something Dopey Joe Biden would call a "Big %&*king deal"

By Bill Federer, staff writer

"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on," wrote poet Carl Sandburg, who died JULY 22, 1967.
A son of Swedish immigrants who worked on the railroad, Sandburg left school after 8th grade, borrowed his father's railroad pass and traveled as a hobo.
He volunteered for military service, was sent to Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War, and then attended college on a veteran's bill.
Carl Sandburg wrote children's fairytales, called Rootabaga Stories, and mused of his wanderings in American Songbag.
In 1926, he wrote Abraham Lincoln-The Prairie Years, and in 1939 he wrote Abraham Lincoln-The War Years, for which he received a Pulitzer Prize.
In 1959, Sandburg was invited to address Congress on Lincoln's birthday.
In his Complete Poems, for which he won a Pulitzer, 1951, Carl Sandburg wrote:

Obama could single-handedly nullify the 2nd Amendment

Jul 22, 2012 01:00 pm | Coach Collins

by  Doug Book,  staff writer

When Barack Obama signs the United Nation's Arms Trade Treaty late this month, the force of his signature alone could suffice to nullify the 2nd Amendment rights of the American people. How is this possible if a 2/3rds vote by the Senate-that is, constitutionally mandated ratification- is required before the United States may become a legal party to any treaty?  

Interested Americans have been told that the Arms Trade Treaty will regulate the international trade of conventional weapons, the purported goal being prevention of arms transfers to rogue or terrorist states.  Naturally, one would think regulations intended only to manage and restrict the trade of weapons to dangerous, warlike or terror-supporting countries couldn't possibly threaten the constitutionally protected right of American citizens to keep and bear arms.

However, in order to prevent the accumulation and export of possible contraband weapons, the Treaty mandates creation of a global arms catalogue- ... Continue Reading:Obama could single-handedly nullify the 2nd Amendment

  Siren

Wicked hidden agenda of      

AGENDA 21

U.N. Bill now in Congress 

 

Folks, this is NOT a Hoax, there is a real Agenda 21  Implemented under the United Nations NGO,  the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

 

The UN has infected America with delusions of a green economy, biodiversity and sustainable development. All are designed to fool America into giving the UnitedNations control of the land under our feet without even a fight...so that the UN can finally implement their master plan for global control....Agenda 21.

 

THIS LAND IS OUR LAND - STOP THE UN LAND GRAB  CONTACT  ALL 100 SENATORS - NO to ratifying

 

The UN's Agenda 21 will take 50% of American land and make it uninhabitable, untouchable by industry, and inaccessible by humans. American citizens will be moved into places called "Sustainable Human Development Zones."     Agenda 21, you will live, work, play, and vacation only where the United Nations allows and your main transportation would be a train...all in the name of "sustainable development" and "environmental responsibility."         Green becomes the new RED.

 

If the Senate Ratifies Agenda 21...

 

The UN WILL:

  • Wipe private property off the face of the earth.
  • Confiscate private farms and farmland.
  • Ban individual ownership of cars.
  • Dictate where we live
  • Control what we eat
  • Mandate how and what our children learn

The UN website clearly states their objective:

   

AGENDA 21  designed to STEAL AMERICAN LAND

 

The scourge called Agenda 21, better known as Sustainable development, has morphed as planned to give strong inroads to the escalation in power to destroy sovereignty and absorb America into the global collective of the United Nations. "Sustainability, economic development" pushed in Oklahoma City and Tulsa seek to achieve this.

The truest definition of sovereignty is the ability to own property - your own land.    When that right goes, America will topple like other third world countries.   You must be part of the resistance.

 

DEMAND Congress and all elected local officials   STOP AGENDA 21.  NO Senator must ratify Agenda 21

 

The UN Agenda 21 seeks to drive us all into multi-family high rise super complexes in order to "save the environment."  This administration's attempt to force the United Nation's Agenda 21 down the throats of unsuspecting Americans must fail. 

If ratified this treaty will give the U.N. control of everything from our fishing rights, the food we eat and even where we will be allowed to live or travel.

 

IF AMERICA SURVIVES,  THE SENATE MUST STOP THIS DEADLY THREAT CALLED  AGENDA 21!

 

Tell The Senate To REJECT All Attempts To Implement UN Agenda 21! Support the U.S. Constitution - NOW!

 

A group of POWERFUL world leaders and environmentalists 'spin' the green movement hogwash of solar/alternative energy, the science of climate change and "deadly" car emissions, while their real agenda is taking full control of America, actions current Administration supports.   Agenda 21, plan would make governments around the world a SLAVE to the every wish and whim of the United Nations.

 

UN Agenda 21 would also dictate...

  • Where we live
  • What we eat
  • How and what we learn
  • Where and when we can move (if at all)

Here's how the UN describes it:

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level."

 

It is happening right now.     DO NOT DOUBT

 

Obama, signed, on June 9, 2011, EXECUTIVE ORDER 13575 and established the White House Rural Council (WHRC) newly appointed non-government agency as responsible for federally coordinating and implementing sustainable and green development locally.  

EO 13575:

Section 1. Policy- Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities (UNDER THEIR CONTROL)   are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead.

"Sustainable" became a buzzword at the UN's 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil (where Agenda 21 was created).

Sustainable = Agenda 21

UN Agenda 21 is a transnational attempt to erode property rights, destroy freedom and make America submissive to foreign bureaucrats.

Tell The Senate To REJECT All Attempts To Implement UN Agenda 21!

Send this Alert to EVERYONE YOU KNOW.    

Contact Senators today, toll free numbers include

1-877-851-6437 and 1-866-220-0044, or

call 1-202-225-3121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE!

Demand the Senate stop Implementing   Agenda 21

 

CALL President Obama, 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414

Express your  ABSOLUTE REJECTION of the UN plan. No to destroying personal property rights, confiscating private land and banning private ownership of cars.

Audit the Fed,   vote "yes" on HR 459

This is an effort to get the federal government to look into the private bank that issues our currency. 

 

Created in 1913, the Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States and has a monopoly over the creation and flow of both paper money printed and the flow of credit.  Since the creation of the Federal Reserve bank in 1913 the dollar has lost over 95% of its purchasing power through created inflation brought about by printing massive amounts of new money while Congress sits on its hands and keeps their eyes averted.   Without the Federal Reserve the government couldn't overspend or have a sixteen trillion dollar national debt.   Yet, in 2009 Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke refused to disclose what banks received the trillions of dollars in bailout funds and loans.

 

Banking 101

The banking system creates its own money actually and inflation increases as the amount of money in the system increases.  Let's say that farmer John sells a wheat crop for $100,000 and places the money in his checking account.   Due to the small reserve requirements his bank can immediately loan out another $90,000 while keeping $10,000 in "reserve".  Let's say they loan that $90,000 to car dealer Carl who deposits the $90,000 in his checking account, allowing the bank to loan out $81,000 to homeowner Homeless Dan who in turn deposits the cash and allows the bank to loan out another  $72,900.     In four or five loan transactions the original $100,000 turns into a half million dollars in loans.  The bank pays a paltry interest on the first $100,000, maybe some in the checking accounts,   and collects heavy interest on the $500,000.

 

When the economy contracts, the lending slows or stops and the cash cow begins to run dry.   Without the Ponzi scheme in place the Federal Reserve System would collapse.   So to survive the Federal Reserve prints more money and gives it to the bank.  Yeah, they keep record of who "gets" the newly printed money and they charge a tiny percentage in interest but as long as the bank can loan money it can collect interest on five to ten times more "money" in loan interest.

 

 

The U.S. House will vote on Congressman Ron Paul's HR 459, the Audit the Fed bill this coming Tuesday, July 24th.   The vote will be under a "suspension of the rules" so they can't water it down but instead of taking a simple majority to pass it will take 2/3rds to pass.  

 

Please contact your U.S. Representatives today and demand that they vote "yes" on HR 459.

Obama to Bush in 2003: "Fix Up the Economy," $300 Billion Deficit "Recklessness"

by Charles C. Johnson

Give Barack Obama points for consistency: he has always blamed Bush for the economy, even when it was humming along. In April 2003, Obama, then a state senator, attacked George Bush's "attack on working families." He called on Bush to "fix up the economy first" before he did anything else, like tax cuts. (Chinta Strausberg, "Obama to Bush: Fix up U.S. Budget First," Chicago Defender, April 15, 2003).

Obama was particularly incensed by those tax cuts, telling the Chicago Defender, "If you don't make $300,000 or more, you won't benefit from this tax break." He continued: "In the meantime, the tax cuts will create perpetual deficits and further depress an already bad economy. It will also prevent the funding of education programs, the job training programs that could put people back to work."

You Didn't Build It Either, Fauxcahontas 

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 11:27 AM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

Elizabeth Warren is widely credited as the inspiration for President Obama's "you didn't build it" riff. She anticipated the theme in her Massachusetts Senate race. So it is fitting that Scott Brown has made the theme central to his campaign. Check out this excellent Brown ad, titled "Let America Be America Again."

 

Forfeit this 

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:23 AM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

The NCAA, that most sanctimonious of powerful bureaucracies, has punished Penn State because its top officials failed to take action after receiving credible evidence Jerry Sandusky, an assistant football coach, had engaged in child molestation. The penalties include a $60 million fine, a four-year ban on bowl appearances, and the forfeiture of all football victories since 1998.

I have no sympathy for Penn State and no serious beef with the forward-looking penalties. But the attempt to re-write the past by expunging Penn State's victories deserves ridicule.

It is always a bit absurd when "suits" attempt to legislate hard-won sports triumphs out of existence. You can't tell me that, for example, standout running backs Larry Johnson and Evan Royster never helped Penn State win a football game; I saw them do it with my own eyes.

Nonetheless, when a team gains an unfair advantage by violating NCAA rules, I can understand sanctions that include re-writing the record book. For example, a team coached by major violator of the rules on recruiting players may not have enjoyed the success it achieved had the rules been followed. Thus, you can at least see the logic of pretending that the wins didn't happen.

But Penn State achieved no apparent on-the-field advantage from Sandusky's misconduct or from its failure to address it. As I understand it, Sandusky didn't even serve as a coach after 1999. Therefore, purporting to take away the team's victories just seems silly.

Then again, the NCAA might be on to something. As president, Richard Nixon and his top staffers covered up serious wrongdoing. Perhaps the entire Nixon presidency should be forfeited. We could give George McGovern a "W" in the 1972 presidential election and then "forfeit" the recognition of Red China and the SALT I arms control agreement.

It's also possible that at some future date, we will learn that the NCAA itself engaged in or covered up serious wrongdoing. In that event, it could be made to "forfeit" all of the forfeitures it imposed. Penn State's wins could magically reappear in the record book, along with a couple of John Calipari Final Four appearances.

The possibilities are endless once bureaucrats claim the power to override reality.

UPDATE: Bill Otis at Crime and Consequences argues that the NCAA should not have sanctioned Penn State at all.

 

Yes they did build it, says America 

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 08:47 AM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

Given the depth of his leftism, President Obama manages to avoid striking many egregiously false notes in his public utterances. But a new Rasmussen poll demonstrates just how false a note Obama struck when he insisted that small businessmen don't build their businesses.

According to the poll, 72 percent of likely voters believe that people who start small businesses are primarily responsible for their success or failure. Only 13 percent disagree. The latter number presumably corresponds to the percentage of people who believe that money grows on trees.

Respondents also overwhelmingly said that small business owners work harder than other Americans. And most believe that entrepreneurs who start businesses do more to create jobs and economic growth than big businesses or government.

Obama increasingly is framing this election as the clash of two visions. The problem for him is that his vision, honestly articulated, conflicts with the traditional American vision that, though decreasingly robust, still holds sway. Unfortunately for Obama, in a moment of weakness he honestly articulated his vision.

 

Blame Bush theme reaches sell-by date 

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 08:31 AM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

President Obama has spent much of his first term blaming former President Bush for the poor state of the economy. But as Obama himself predicted, this was never a narrative he could peddle indefinitely. Rather, the president gave it an estimated shelf life of three years.

A new poll conducted for The Hill demonstrates that Obama estimated correctly. According to the poll, which sampled 1,000 likely voters, 34 percent say Obama is the most to blame for the current economic woes, while 23 percent say Congress is the main culprit. 20 percent point the finger at Wall Street, and only 18 percent cite Bush.

Looking at Obama's numbers in isolation, the picture remains grim for the president. 53 percent of voters say Obama has taken the wrong actions and has slowed the economy down, while 42 percent say he has taken the right actions to revive the economy, while six percent said they were not sure.

The poll oversampled Republicans, for a change. They outnumbered Democrats in the sample by 35 percent to 34. But Obama is under water with respect to his handling of the economy even in polls using a more typical sample in which Democrats outnumber Republicans.

Clearly, Obama needs a new scapegoat and the Hill poll makes clear that it must be Congress. As noted, voters blame Obama more than they blame Congress by a margin of 34-23. But 57 percent said that congressional Republicans have impeded the recovery with their policies, and only 30 percent overall believe the GOP has done the right things to boost the economy. So congressional Republicans are even deeper under water than the president. Moreover, according to the Hill, 26 percent of self-described (I assume) "centrists" cited Congress as most to blame for U.S. economic woes, compared to 20 percent who blame Obama.

Not surprisingly, then, Obama is now casting the election as a choice between two competing visions of how to proceed going forward. "What's holding us back is a stalemate in Washington between two fundamentally different views of which direction America should take," he has proclaimed. "This election is your chance to break that stalemate."

It's the smart move. But Romney will, of course, counter that there was no stalemate in 2009 and 2010 when Obama charted the economic course that has been so unsuccessful.

 

David Gelernter: What keeps this failed president above water? 

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 03:38 AM PDT

(Scott Johnson)

David Gelernter is professor of computer science at Yale and the author, most recently, of America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered in the Obamacrats), just published by Encounter Books. Earlier this month he wrote "Why do we live in America-Lite?" for us, briefly summarizing the themes of his new book. We invited him to return with something that expands on the themes of the book. He has graciously responded with the column below, applying the themes of his new book to explore Barack Obama's apparent political buoyancy:

Surprise is the beginning of wisdom, and President Obama and his campaign so far are deeply surprising. His presidency is a basket case, a failure with a capital F, and yet he is neck-and-neck with Romney. The only comparable failure since World War II was Jimmy Carter's-and Carter, it's true, gave Reagan a tough race in 1980. But Carter at least attracted a stiff primary challenge from Edward Kennedy. And voters were scared of Carter's opponent (the terrifying extremist Ronald Reagan); they might not be inspired by Romney, but they are comfortable with him. Obama's showing this year is a surprise from many angles.

The utter failure of this president is rank. History's most expensive plan ever for buying your way out of recession barely propelled the economy uphill, and now, in a squeal and stench of smoking tires, the Obama Special (sweating, straining, roaring, leaking dollars) is slipping back down again. The president's signature approach to governing is to ram through some wildly-unpopular measure and then take a bow as the audience hoots. He did it with his famous unreform of healthcare, and again with the blocked Keystone pipeline. His attorney general would be a joke if he weren't so dangerous, but Obama likes him. The president did give up such unpopular ideas as closing Guantanamo, card-check, a criminal trial for KSM in Manhattan à la P.T. Barnum, cap-and-trade-but only because there was no way to push these things through. (Although when Obama can govern by decree instead of by legislation, he is only too happy. Legislation has always struck him as a monumental bore.)

Iran disdainfully snubs him, Russia snubs him, Europe ignores him, the Israelis can't stand him, the world grows more dangerous by the hour. He did indeed take out Osama, and has moved aggressively to kill terrorists. But any other president would be deemed to have turned these victories into defeats by his tone-deaf campaigns afterward to squeeze out maximum political gain-as if he had killed Osama himself, bare-handed. The cost to US intelligence sources or the dignity of the office matters nothing, evidently, as the Obamiacs mash every last drop of juice out of the pulp. In fact this is a man to whom "cost" seems like a foreign concept, a word he has never learned.

He used to seem intelligent and articulate, capable of wit and charm when he felt like trying. But assaulting Romney, he is arrogant and patronizing. Nowadays his smiles are ominous. The grim satisfaction he takes in mocking, goading and heckling Romney calls to mind an Elizabethan bear-baiting.

But even more surprising than his political super-buoyancy is the resurrection of big-government, 1930s-style economic thinking in the Democratic party long after it was taken out with the trash along with Jimmy Carter, and once more (for good measure) after Gingrich smashed Clinton in the '94 midterms. The failure of central planning and state-managed economies is one of the big themes of the 20th century. But Obama's handlers have yet to tell him.

His biggest asset is being black. People feel virtuous when they vote for him, or support him, or at least don't trash him. We all like to feel virtuous. One has the impression that most commentators write off the whole question of his surprising political resilience by assuming, implicitly, that race explains everything.

But it doesn't. There is more to this story. Obama perfectly fits the personal profile of the Culture Machine that runs so much of the American elite nowadays.

The Machine is run by PORGIs, who are just like Obama: post-religious, globalist, intellectuals or at least intellectualizers (who talk and act like intellectuals even if they don't quite qualify themselves). And his being black, with an African father, an African name (icing on the cake) and a childhood spent in a Muslim nation (the cherry on top!) makes him beyond perfect-makes him nearly divine. We're unlikely to hear anyone say so during this campaign as frankly as Evan Thomas of Newsweek did in 2009: reviewing the president's recent speech in Cairo, Thomas explained to MSNBC's Chris Matthews, "I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above-above the world, he's sort of God." But we all get the idea.

He is post-religious: he took his family to a church where the religion seemed to be America-hatred. There are no biblical echoes in his speeches, as there have been in the speeches of so many presidents, left and right, and such other American leaders as Martin Luther King. "Pandering to religious nuts" is the way PORGIs analyze such references. Another way to describe them is quintessentially American. We are, after all, a biblical republic. The idea of America- freedom, equality, democracy, and America as the promised land-grew straight out of the Bible. Obama is the first American president to put all that stuff behind him. As for American Zionism, American Exceptionalism, the city on a hill-it is one part of the American creed that Obama simply rejects.

He is the perfect globalist. America is intellectually and spiritually too small for him. He and his colleagues in the PORGIate rise as effortlessly as hot-air balloons to the level of global versus merely national. Obama Obaminates America's acting alone. He likes to pull into the mix not only our allies but our opponents. Russia must help with Syria. Russia and China must help with Iran. In the globalist worldview, "enemy" is a childish idea and has been eliminated. Venezuela, North Korea, Iran are not criminally dangerous, they are naughty, and must be reasoned with, scolded and eventually welcomed home with a big hug.

You might think that Obama makes a poor intellectual: he doesn't seem to read; ideas evidently mean nothing to him. But notice that he governs on the basis of theories and not facts. And he graduated from Columbia and Harvard. Case closed.

If conservatives were serious, they would think much harder about the Culture Machine (aka the Establishment) and the ways in which Obama is typical instead of exceptional-typical of a new type of Establishment leader, the new Machine Man. We're used to old-fashioned political (usually Democratic) machines. But those political machines compare to the modern Culture Machine like a stick of dynamite to an H-bomb. While conservatives worry about debt and taxes and huge problems abroad, the left is busy pulling the whole country out from under them. While conservatives fiddle around on the roof, robbers are rifling the house and stealing the children. Conservatives might consider climbing down and having a look. Obama is only the first of a new breed.

 

 

I Am a Proud Four-Percenter! 

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 02:14 PM PDT

(Steven Hayward)

So we've heard a lot since Occupy Wall Street started blighting our public spaces about the 1 percent, and the 99 percent.  Me, I'm a proud 4-percenter!  What's that?  It derives from the title of the book recently produced by the George W. Bush Institute, The 4% Solution: Unleashing the Economic Growth America Needs, edited by Brendan Miniter.  The thesis of the book is simple: if we're going to revive the economy, provide jobs for our growing population, and have any chance at all of fulfilling our promised entitlements to the baby boom generation (even if stripped down some), we will need much faster economic growth than we're getting from Obamanomics.  In fact, 4 percent growth would exceed the long-term historical average, which is somewhere around 3 percent.

Amazingly this has become a partisan issue.  Once upon a time liberals were the leading advocates of economic growth-the 1960 Democratic platform enshrined a doctrine known as "growth liberalism" and called for something like 5 percent growth, instead of the listless growth of the Eisenhower years.  (And growth often reached as high as 7 percent for the first half of the 1960s, with low inflation.)  Liberals essentially became indifferent to growth when it became dominated by constituent groups that depend more on redistribution and public sector growth than private sector growth, such as public employee unions, or even actively opposed to economic growth, like environmentalists.  I wrote about this at length in the first volume of The Age of Reagan: within the space of a decade, the Democratic Party went from being the party of growth to the party preaching the limits to growth.  The limits to growth theme was part of Jimmy Carter's inaugural address, and the less said about Jerry Brown, who is sadly still with us, the better.

The 4% Solution features essays on various aspects of economic growth from five Nobel Prize winners in economics, and . . . me, on the role of market-friendly energy policy (along with my writing partner Ken Green).  A lot has happened since Ken and I wrote the chapter, making it clear that the energy sector (think oil in North Dakota and Texas, and natural gas in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Wyoming) is driving much of the little bit of economic growth we are having at the moment.  The main point is: our massive hydrocarbon resource base, not currently being exploited to the fullest extent for well-known reasons.  Here's our opening paragraph, just to remind people of the central point:

In a striking report released in late 2010, the Congressional Research Service captured the essence of our energy problem.  The report didn't wade into current debates over alternative fuels or even mention energy independence.  Instead, it touched on something more fundamental.  The report looked at coal, natural gas, and oil supplies around the world and gave us this simple fact:  Today, the United States has within its borders more fossil fuel reserves than any other country in the world.

So let us think as John F. Kennedy thought: let's get America moving again.  Like Kennedy's time, it will probably take a new president to accomplish.

 

The games of the XXX Hypocrisyad 

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 02:10 PM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

I wrote here about the refusal of the International Olympic Committee to set aside one minute of silence at the opening ceremony at this year's games to commemorate the Israeli athletes who were murdered 40 years ago at the Munich games. Since then, the IOC has held fast to this position despite mounting pressure.

Deborah Lipstadt at Tablet has no difficulty demolishing the pretexts, and identifying the true reason, for the IOC's decision:

The Olympic Committee's official explanation is that the games are apolitical. The families were repeatedly told by long-time IOC President Juan Samaranch that the Olympic movement avoided political issues. He seemed to have forgotten that at the 1996 opening ceremony he spoke about the Bosnian war. Politics were also present at the 2002 games, which opened with a minute of silence for the victims of 9/11.

The families have also been told that a commemoration of this sort was inappropriate at the opening of such a celebratory event. However, the IOC has memorialized other athletes who died "in the line of duty." At the 2010 winter games, for example, there was a moment of silence to commemorate an athlete who died in a training accident.

The IOC's explanation is nothing more than a pathetic excuse. The athletes who were murdered were from Israel and were Jews-that is why they aren't being remembered. The only conclusion one can draw is that Jewish blood is cheap, too cheap to risk upsetting a bloc of Arab nations and other countries that oppose Israel and its policies. . . .

This was the greatest tragedy to ever occur during the Olympic Games. Yet the IOC has made it quite clear that these victims are not worth 60 seconds. Imagine for a moment that these athletes had been from the United States, Canada, Australia, or even Germany. No one would think twice about commemorating them. But these athletes came from a country and a people who somehow deserve to be victims. Their lost lives are apparently not worth a minute.

The comparison to 9/11 is highly instructive. The 9/11 attacks were political, and it is possible to argue that those who conceived and executed the attacks had colorable political grievances. But it is not possible for civilized people to argue that the grievances justified the attacks. Thus, it was not "political" to have a moment of observance for the victims.

By deeming "political" a moment of observance for those murdered at the 1972 Olympics, the IOC implicitly takes the position that there is a plausible political argument that would justify the murders.

If you love American popular music, you owe it to yourself to catch up with John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey on their weekly Radio Deluxe show. How to describe the show? Pizzarelli's site quotes Christopher Loudon:

Among radio's greatest pleasures is each weekly installment of Radio Deluxe, two hours of great jazz and smart, sassy repartee from John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey, the hippest husband-and-wife team since Louis Prima and Keely Smith.

You can listen to their recent show devoted to "sexy songs" here. However good or bad you're feeling, you'll feel better after listening to the show. It is great.

 

The enemies list, then and now 

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 07:47 AM PDT

(Scott Johnson)

One of the charges in the standard liberal narrative of the Nixon years - see, e.g., Stanley Kutler's The Wars of Watergate - is Nixon's misuse of the IRS to torment his political enemies.

I don't know whether Nixon's enemies list(s) was actually put to this use. Kutler reports in the text that Washington Post lawyer Edward Bennett Williams was audited three years running and adds in a footnote that the practice goes back to FDR. The IRS-related charge in any event made it into Count II of the articles of impeachment voted against Nixon. It was, not to belabor the point, a big deal, but that was then.

In April this year Kimberly Strassel cited Nixon in her column "The president has a list." In this case the list consisted of donors to the super PAC supporting Mitt Romney. Strassel reported an alarming development brought to us by the Obama campaign, one occurring in broad daylight:

This past week, one of [Obama's] campaign websites posted an item entitled "Behind the curtain: A brief history of Romney's donors." In the post, the Obama campaign named and shamed eight private citizens who had donated to his opponent. Describing the givers as all having "less-than-reputable records," the post went on to make the extraordinary accusations that "quite a few" have also been "on the wrong side of the law" and profiting at "the expense of so many Americans."

These are people like Paul Schorr and Sam and Jeffrey Fox, investors who the site outed for the crime of having "outsourced" jobs. T. Martin Fiorentino is scored for his work for a firm that forecloses on homes. Louis Bacon (a hedge-fund manager), Kent Burton (a "lobbyist") and Thomas O'Malley (an energy CEO) stand accused of profiting from oil. Frank VanderSloot, the CEO of a home-products firm, is slimed as a "bitter foe of the gay rights movement."

Strassel noted that the Obama campaign's conduct was unprecedented and raised a red flag:

His campaign brands you a Romney donor, shames you for "betting against America," and accuses you of having a "less-than-reputable" record. The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money.

Strassel was apparently on to something. This week Strassel returned to the case of Frank VanderSloot in "Obama's enemies list - part II." Mr. VanderSloot is getting the treatment that Richard Nixon could only dream of dishing out to his enemies:

Mr. VanderSloot has since been learning what it means to be on a presidential enemies list. Just 12 days after the [Obama campaign] attack, the Idahoan found an investigator digging to unearth his divorce records. This bloodhound-a recent employee of Senate Democrats-worked for a for-hire opposition research firm.

Now Mr. VanderSloot has been targeted by the federal government. In a letter dated June 21, he was informed that his tax records had been "selected for examination" by the Internal Revenue Service. The audit also encompasses Mr. VanderSloot's wife, and not one, but two years of past filings (2008 and 2009).

Mr. VanderSloot, who is 63 and has been working since his teens, says neither he nor his accountants recall his being subject to a federal tax audit before. He was once required to send documents on a line item inquiry into his charitable donations, which resulted in no changes to his taxes. But nothing more-that is until now, shortly after he wrote a big check to a Romney-supporting Super PAC.

Two weeks after receiving the IRS letter, Mr. VanderSloot received another-this one from the Department of Labor. He was informed it would be doing an audit of workers he employs on his Idaho-based cattle ranch under the federal visa program for temporary agriculture workers.

Strassel aptly closes her column: "If this isn't a chilling glimpse of a society Americans reject, it is hard to know what is. It's why presidents are held to different rules, and should not keep lists. And it's why Mr. Obama has some explaining to do." Her email to the White House requesting comment has gone unanswered.

When Obama joked about siccing the IRS on his enemies back in 2009, Glenn Reynolds took to the pages of the Journal to make the elementary point that politically inspired tax audits are no laughing matter:

Paul Caron, a professor at the University of Cincinnati who writes the TaxProf blog, noted in response to Mr. Obama's remarks that the law calls for the termination of IRS employees who make audit threats for illegitimate reasons. He suggested that Mr. Obama's "joke" might be grounds for firing if he were an IRS employee.

He's not, of course, but as the president his words carry much more weight and he should be much more careful.

Now what? For those of use who lived through Watergate, it must be at least slightly surprising how little attention Strassel's columns have drawn. Our friends at Hot Air have taken note, as have our friends at Right Coast, and Glenn Reynolds has followed the story via TaxProf Blog. In his RC post, Tom Smith reasonably proposes:

A Congressional committee should get an IRS official on the hot seat about this ASAP. The White House using the IRS to intimidate political opponents is a serious, serious abuse of power. It might be a coincidence. Or it might be a quiet word from the WH to a political friend in the IRS. And the labor department as well. Idaho's congressional delegation needs to get on this right now.

The mainstream media are of course missing in action. An election is looming and if it weren't for double standards they wouldn't have any at all.

UPDATE: Strassel talked about the VanderSloot case on this week's edition of the Fox News Wall Street Journal Report.

 

The problem with Michele Bachmann's letter to the State Department 

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 11:21 PM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

Rep. Michele Bachmann has come under fire from John McCain, Speaker Boehner, and, of course, the mainstream media, for letters she wrote, along with four of her House colleagues, to various government officials regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. The letters in question are posted on the Congresswoman's web site.

Of greatest concern to McCain and company is Bachmann's letter to the Deputy Inspector General of the Department of State. That letter begins by stating a concern about Department of State policies and activities that "appear to be a result of influence operations conducted by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood." It then points out that the State Department's Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin, "has three family members - her late father, her mother, and her brother - connected to Muslim Brotherhood operations and/or organizations." Presumably, as the letter states, Abedin's position gives her "routine access to the Secretary of State Clinton and to policy-making."

Next, the letter lists five policy decisions by the State Department that are favorable to the Muslim Brotherhood. They include Hillary Clinton's personal intervention to permit a prominent Brotherhood leader, Tariq Ramadan, to enter the U.S.; various meetings and interactions by the State Department with the Brotherhood and/or its affiliates; Clinton's waiver of restrictions on aid to Egypt; and her waiver of restrictions on aid to the Palestinian authority.

The letter might also have referred to the pressure Clinton reportedly has exerted on the Egyptian military to surrender power to the newly elected parliament, which is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, and the newly elected president, Mohamed Morsi, a top Brotherhood official.

Finally, the letter asks that the Deputy Inspector General investigate "the extent to which Muslim Brotherhood-tied individuals and entities have helped achieve the adoption of these State Department actions and policies, or are involved in their execution." It also requests "corrective action. . . to ensure that no Muslim Brotherhood-associated entity or individual is placed into a position of honor or trust unless he or she has publicly condemned and disclaimed the. . .goals of the Muslim Brotherhood."

If Bachmann and her colleagues (I'll refer to them collectively as "Bachmann") had limited their letter to complaining about State Department policies that favor the Muslim Brotherhood, there would have been no pushback from Republican leaders. It was the assertion that these policies appear to stem from the "influence operations" of individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, coupled with the reference to Huma Abedin, that set off John McCain. The Arizona Senator knows and likes Abedin, and was offended that Bachmann would suggest, based on the views and affiliation of her family members, that she may be influencing policy in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.

However, Andy McCarthy, an expert on the Muslim Brotherhood and a friend of Power Line, has defended Bachmann's line of inquiry. He argues that there are two legitimate questions to ask about Abedin. First, in light of her family history, is she someone who ought to have a security clearance, particularly one that would give her access to top-secret information about the Brotherhood. Second, is she someone who may be sympathetic to aspects of the Brotherhood's agenda, such that Americans ought to be concerned that she is helping shape American foreign policy?

Bachmann didn't raise the security clearance issue in the letter to the State Department, though she did mention it in a subsequent letter to Rep. Keith Ellison defending the earlier letter. In my view, though, the security clearance is really the key to the question of whether there is anything to complain to the Inspector General about, or for him to investigate. If Abedin received a proper security clearance, then Hillary Clinton is entitled to rely on her advice and to provide her with unlimited access to information. We may not like the fact that Abedin is in the inner circle, and it's an issue we can raise publicly. But there is no impropriety to investigate.

McCarthy points out what common sense would suggest - that, under prevailing State Department guidelines pertaining to security clearances, one's associations may be relevant. He notes that contact "with a foreign family member, business or professional associate, friend or other person who is a citizen or resident in a foreign country" may be disqualifying "if that contact creates a heightened risk of foreign exploitation, inducement, pressure, or coercion." Also a concern can arise by virtue of an "association or sympathy" with people who seek to overthrow our government, or even with people who just seek to prevent Americans from exercising their constitutional rights.

I don't know that these guidelines preclude Abedin from obtaining a security clearance. But I think it's legitimate to ask about the decision to give her that clearance.

In sum, I'm glad that Bachmann and her colleagues, Reps. Gohmert, Westmoreland, Franks, and Rooney, are concerned about the tilt in State Department policy in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood. I also believe that, to the extent they believe the association of Abedin's close family members with the Muslim Brotherhood makes her security clearance problematic, it is legitimate to ask for an explanation of the decision and, if the explanation is unsatisfactory, to call for the decision to be reversed.

However, I don't think that the letter to the Department of State is well-framed. As noted, it opens by asserting that State Department policy appears to be the result of influence by individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and cites Abedin's associations as an example of how policy is being so influenced.

But Bachmann presents no evidence showing that State Department policy is the product of Muslim Brotherhood influence. The only evidence she offers is the fact that Abedin has a position of influence and that members of her family are connected to the Brotherhood. This is insufficient because it assumes that Abedin shares the sympathies and views of family members. It's possible that she does, but that ought not be assumed.

I would speculate that the State Department's tilt towards the Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with Abedin. The State Department is prone to want to hitch U.S. policy to anti-Western extremists, claiming they aren't as bad as they look (and talk). This tendency predates the Obama administration. Once Mubarak fell in Egypt, it was probably inevitable that an Obama State Department would follow this tradition in dealing with the Brotherhood. The policy, then, appears to be the product of the liberal imagination, not Brotherhood infiltration.

Of course, this is just speculation. But so is the thrust of the opening portion of Bachmann's letter. To that extent, the language of the letter is unfortunate, and has tended to undermine its worthy goal of raising legitimate and serious concerns about the substance of State Department policy.

COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 106 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS

The Reemergence Of Men

The evil that was on such naked display as the killer opened fire in a crowded Aurora, Colorado, movie theater last week sickens us all. Such events inevitably lead to worries that they are symptoms of larger social and moral decay. That conversation and national debate is worth having, even in the middle of a presidential campaign that is supposed to be about only the economy.

Fortunately, even in the hail of bullets that struck down so many innocent people, there were examples of bravery and stout hearts. I was moved over the weekend by the evidence that at least three of the 12 people killed were men who died in the act of physically protecting the women with them.

In an age that so often disappoints, in a culture that emphasizes living for today and for yourself, in a society so permeated with feminist ideology that many men no longer know whether opening a door for a woman is an insult or an act of endearment, these three men, with only seconds to decide, chose self-sacrifice to the point of death for the women they loved.

I have worried that in our "anything goes" age, we are draining the "reservoir" of Judeo-Christian decency and morality that previous generations had filled. In an Aurora movie theater, Alex Teves, Matthew Robert McQuinn and Jonathan Blunk poured a fresh stream of love into that reservoir with their life's blood. Their selfless acts provide us hope for the future. God bless them and their families.


Headlines Mean Headaches For Obama & America

According to a survey of future corporate profit estimates, several financial analysts are predicting that the United States is likely to enter a recession by the end of this year or early next year -- if we aren't already in one. As CNBC notes:

"Estimates for the third and fourth quarters have been dropped to levels not seen since the days of the 2008 financial crisis... That's an ominous recession sign for an economy that has barely managed to attain positive growth this year."


One analyst told the financial network, "We are fast approaching levels where these estimates are unambiguously pointing to the risk of a U.S./global recession later into 2012 and 2013." This is bad news for millions of Americans out of work and looking for jobs.

Who are the voters blaming for the bad economy? According to a new poll conducted for The Hill, 66% of likely voters say that the weak economy is "the result of bad policy," and 53% believe that Obama's "wrong actions" have slowed the economy down. Fortunately, the voters seem to be losing patience with Obama's penchant for blaming Bush.


China Targets Canada's Energy

The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), China's third largest state-owned oil company, announced that it was buying Nexen, a Canadian firm, for $15 billion in cash and at a 61% premium. While Obama has poured billions into alternative energy companies like bankrupt Solyndra, the Chinese are obviously eager to secure natural resources wherever they can find them. And they have been on a buying spree in recent years. CNOOC has bought stakes in two other Canadian companies in the past seven years.

Why does this matter? Because it is more evidence of how the misguided policies of the Obama Administration are hurting the United States. Canadian officials were stunned when Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline, and vowed never to be "held hostage" to American politics again. Rather than moving its oil south, Canada is speeding up projects to move it west toward Asian markets.

Now Chinese companies are moving in to capitalize on the growing rift in U.S.-Canadian relations. And it's safe to say that China's state-owned oil companies won't have the best interests of U.S. consumers in mind.

Let me remind you of the comments by General Jim Jones, Obama's former National Security Advisor. Referring to the Keystone XL pipeline, General Jones said:

"If we get to the point where we cannot bring ourselves to do what is in our national interest, then we are clearly in a period of decline... A nation that fails to secure the energy its citizens and its economic engine need to keep functioning leaves itself vulnerable to external contingencies in a dangerous and uncertain world and to the whims of foreign leaders and other actors who may not always have its interests at heart. The delay, and possible rejection of this pipeline, could have significant and long-range national security implications for our nation."


Jones is right. The Keystone XL pipeline is not an insignificant issue, and it's a good example of Obama's bad policies that voters likely have in mind. Thousands of jobs could have been created at a time when we desperately need them, and the project is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. But when the time came to do the right thing for jobs and our national security, Obama caved to his radical left-wing allies.


Obama's Toll On Small Business

President Obama usually trains his rhetorical fire on broadly unpopular groups such as "rich folks," Wall Street "fat cats" and big corporations that he claims conspire to buy elections. But recently he targeted the engine of the American economy, small business. Lost in the uproar over Obama's anti-business rhetoric is just how anti-business Obama's policies have been.

Obama Proposes Federal Paychecks for Local Teachers  By Lindsey Burke and Jason Richwine

Last week, President Obama proposed a new $1 billion federal program that would establish a "Master Teacher Corps" in 100 locations across the country.

This is not the first time the Administration has proposed subsidizing teacher salaries, but it is the first proposal that would give federal-issued paychecks directly to local teachers.

Each site designated by the new program would have 50 corps teachers, designated as such based on "demonstrated effectiveness in teaching one or more STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] subjects" and their "contributions to the continuous improvement of teaching and learning."

According to the White House, decisions about what qualifies teacher effectiveness would be made locally or regionally, but compensation-up to $20,000 in bonus money per teacher-would be provided by federal tax dollars.

Quote of the Week

"However novel federal coercion may appear concerning healthcare, it's nothing new in education. From the earliest days of our Republic to contemporary opposition over No Child Left Behind, concern about federal overreach has transcended political lines."

States Should Wait Before Accepting Obamacare

The Supreme Court upheld Obamacare's individual mandate to purchase health insurance, but it also struck down part of the law. That part-forcing states to expand their Medicaid programs-offers governors some much-needed relief.

Expanding Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor and disabled, was one of President Obama's main ways to increase the number of insured people through Obamacare. This was no magic solution for the uninsured, especially since Medicaid is in need of reform, not expansion.

States' share of the cost of Medicaid is already crushing state budgets. "In the past decade, Medicaid spending has increased at nearly twice the rate of states' tax revenue," according to a new report.

The only ways to expand Medicaid are to raise taxes, cut other state programs, or slash health care providers' reimbursements in Medicaid even more. And so far, the majority of America's governors have said they won't do it.

Governor Bob McDonnell (R-VA) sent a letter to President Obama on behalf of the Republican Governors Association: "Before making any final policy decisions," he explained, "governors must carefully consider the short and long-term implications of an expanded entitlement program and the consequences of significantly increasing the size of government to manage these programs." The question of a Medicaid expansion faces every state, including Democratic governors who are still on the fence.

Governor Phil Bryant (R-MS), who has declared that his state will not expand Medicaid, explains the necessary trade-off between state priorities: "I would resist any expansion of Medicaid that could result in significant tax increases or dramatic cuts to education, public safety and job creation."

Obamacare's unconstitutional mandate on the states was an all-or-nothing proposition: States would have been required to expand their Medicaid programs to cover all individuals up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level or risk losing all of their federal Medicaid funds.

As Heritage's Nina Owcharenko noted,

Long before the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Medicaid mandate on the states as unconstitutionally coercive, opponents of the health care law argued that it would be financially unsustainable and administratively unworkable. The Court's decision likely puts the law on a faster pace to collapse.


The Court's decision definitely exposes President Obama's promise to reduce the number of uninsured in the country-half of the reduction in uninsured promised under the law was based on mandating that states expand Medicaid.

And that isn't the only broken promise. It may also lead to health care costs increases. The law stipulates that only individuals who are not eligible for Medicaid can qualify for Obamacare's new federal subsidy. With the Court's decision, many of those who would be Medicaid-eligible under an expansion-specifically those above 100 percent of the FPL-will now qualify for the federal subsidy. Heritage estimates that there are between 3.5 million and 6.2 million people who will now qualify for the subsidies, raising the cost of the subsidies between $35 billion and $63 billion over 10 years. (These figures are based on either 26 states opting out or all 50 states opting out of the expansion, respectively.)

There's really no way to pay for this-by state or federal taxpayers. Between now and the election, states should not entangle themselves in implementing the law, in particular with regard to committing to a Medicaid expansion or even pursuing the Obamacare exchanges. Owcharenko writes that "Even if President Obama is reelected and full repeal fails, the law will undoubtedly have to be reopened. States could push for reopening and use their power to reverse and restructure key provisions in the law."

What Medicaid needs is reform, not expansion. In President Obama's words, "it is not sufficient for us to simply add more people to Medicare or Medicaid to increase the rolls, to increase coverage in the absence of cost controls and reform.... Another way of putting it is we can't simply put more people into a broken system that doesn't work."

Paterno legacy destroyed as PSU slapped with massive penalties

One of the most severe penalties ever handed down in the NCAA came today when Penn State was fined $60 million, put on probation for 5 years, and stripped of over 100 wins since 1998. Paterno was the all-time winningest coach but after today he slips to #12 all-time. And to add insult to injury, Paterno's statue outside the stadium was taken down. Were the punishments warranted? Find out as Glenn debates with Pat & Stu on radio today.

Obama has run trillion dollar plus deficits every year that he has been in office. It should come as no surprise then that he is running a deficit in his own re-election campaign.
