Univision report connects Operation Fast and Furious scandal to murders of Mexican teenagers

The Spanish language television news network Univision unleashed a bombshell investigative report on Operation Fast and Furious Sunday evening, finding that in January 2010 drug cartel hit men slaughtered students with weapons the United States government allowed to flow to them across the Mexican border.

 

"On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez," according to a version of the Univision report in English, on the ABC News website.

 

"Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled."

 

Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that "[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)."

 

That operation was Fast and Furious.

 

The "massacre," as Univision described it, was not the only bombshell the network unveiled in its Sunday evening report.

 

"Univision News identified a total of 57 more previously unreported firearms that were bought by straw purchasers monitored by ATF during Operation Fast and Furious, and then recovered in Mexico in sites related to murders, kidnappings, and at least one other massacre," the Univision report reads.

What Orwell Can Tell Us About the Liberal Appeasement of Islam 

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 

Suppose there were a worldwide movement which openly proclaimed its goal of taking over in your country and every country with the purpose of imposing its system on every human beings on earth. Also suppose that this movement had carried out murders and terrorist attacks in your own country, that members of this group promoted violence while gaining political influence. Suppose also that is was highly unfashionable and politically incorrect to speak out against them.

 
I am not speaking of Islam here, but of Communism. The current wave of censorship and denial toward Islam is not a new development. It is rather a very old one. Islamophobia, like Red-Baiting, is a political term that serves the function of cutting off any discussion of the subject. It precludes any listing of the facts or debates on the issue, by declaring it to be off-limits. To raise the issue is to expose yourself as a bad person whose ideas are unacceptable for public distribution.

When George Orwell was struggling to find a publisher for Animal Farm, he was repeatedly turned down on the grounds that the book would offend the Soviet Union. One publisher wrote to Orwell that he had been dissuaded from publishing the book by an important official in the Ministry of Information (an agency that would become the Ministry of Truth in his novel, 1984) who had told him that publishing such a book would be ill-advised at this time. That official was, incidentally, a Soviet spy.

"Change the polls"

Beer, Beck, Pizza & Phone Calls

DATE: Tuesday, October 2, 2012

TIME: 6PM - 9PM

PLACE: "Freedom Workshop"

We'll be hosting GOTV events between now and the election instead of our monthly "teas". These will include Pizza & Beer phone call evening, street rallies, sign blitzing and other activities.

2405 Heritage Center Drive. Suite 129, Furlong, PA 18925  

 

The polls indicate that Obama and Casey are ahead in Pennsylvania. But if you have heard any of the street interviews by Howard Stern or Glenn Beck, the undecided are woefully misinformed.

And they vote.

Here;s your opportunity to change the polls and the election. Here's what we are planning:

  • Show up at the office at 6PM and have a few slices of pizza and a beer or two.
  • From 6PM to 8PM, make phone calls or assemble signs for Tom Smith
  • At 8PM we'll put on Part Two of Glenn Beck's documentary "The Project"
We had a great time at the first event and we're looking forward to the next one!
 
GOTV IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY PA
 
 
TAKE BACK MONTGOMERY COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA - ELECTION 2012
WE ARE NON PARTISAN
THIS GOTV EFFORT IS ISSUE-BASED AND POLICY-BASED INFORMATION TO SWING VOTERS; NOT PARTY-BASED AND PERSONALITY-BASED
 
This GOTV effort is open to anyone that would like to help. They do not need to be part of a tea party or other grassroots group, just a concerned citizen. IF YOU SUPPORT THIS GOTV EFFORTplease forward this email to your email lists and also to your friends and neighbors. WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS SATURDAY AND EVERY SATURDAY UNTIL NOVEMBER 3RD. WE NEED UP TO 100 CITIZENS ACTIVISTS TO CANVASS SELECTED SWING PRECINCTS EVERY SATURDAY. PLEASE VOLUNTEER AS A canvasser OR DRIVER AND RSVP - SEE CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW
Volunteers Needed
Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots; i.e., PA Freedom Coalition needs help getting volunteers. On Saturdays, the number of volunteers needed are up to 100 volunteers to walk and/or to ride select neighborhoods and 30 drivers with vehicles, starting Saturday, 22 September for seven consecutive Saturdays ending on November 3rd. The volunteers will take part in an organized, planned door-knocking effort specifically to visit with registered Independents in 50 to 80 swing precincts in Montgomery county, PA.

Purpose and Goal
Our main PURPOSE. GOTV - to get as manyregistered Independent voters to the pollsandto cast their votes on issues and policies, not parties or personalities. Our main GOAL. GOTV - to achieve a voting majority in Montgomery county for the 2012 election. A win in the highly populated Montgomery county is HUGH. And this change to a voting majority in Montgomery County is REAL. We have need of 130 volunteers to take part in this door-knocking effort for the next seven consecutive Saturdays to swing these 80 precincts.

Why We Win
In past elections held in Pennsylvania, the proof is in election results - so goes the Southeast, so goes Pennsylvania. And over the past 20 years of elections, Southeast counties; Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware have gone a long way. However, in this 2012 election, we will win back Montgomery County. Why is our confidence high? Is it because of our organized, planned door-to door strategy? Yes. Is it our door-knocking plan - specific to targeting registered Independents in 83 swing precincts? Yes.

How We Win
In these swing precincts in the parts of Montgomery county closest to Philadelphia, PA, passed elections were won in 83 precincts by because of 2 votes and not greater than 206 votes; with both parties breaking even throughout the 450 precincts. Our organized, planned action brings our volunteers to visit these 80 precincts (or 1/5 of all precincts) - walk to talk to registered Independents and to place issues-based literature in their hands at their doors; for no-answers, an issue-oriented door hanger is used.  

WE NEED AN RSVP FROM ALL VOLUNTEERS

Announcing
Sustainable Freedom Lab (SFL)

"Stopping Agenda 21 in Your Community"
w/ Tom DeWeese, John Anthony & Guests


Web-TV Seminar on Oct. 9, 2012, 7 PM EST;
Oct. 13, 10 AM; Oct. 14, 4 PM;
Register here.

A brand new way to fight back!
Hello Linda,

Sustainable Freedom Lab is turning the fight against Agenda 21 on its head! Over the next several months SFL will produce a series of training programs over the Internet.

However, SFL is more than a webinar. It is a total process that trains and organizes activists and works directly with elected officials and planners to recognize and stop the threat of sustainable development.

We help elected officials deal with their struggle to manage legitimate duties while preventing the spread of Agenda 21. We even provide sample legislation and training to help them meet the growing challenge of sustainable development and protect their constituent's property rights.

View our video introduction:


In addition, SFL also provides planners with training leading to SFL certification. The SFL designation assures local residents and officials those planners will only offer plans that protect your property rights.

Learn all the details on how to use this exciting new tool on our first SFL webinar October 9th at 7PM (EST)
Second airing October 13th at 10AM (EST) and the third airing on October 14th at 4PM (EST). Register here.

The first SFL Internet program, titled "Stopping Agenda 21 in Your Community" will include new approaches like these:
  • Quick ways to get the attention of your local officials and help set up a meeting for further talks.
  • A 3-step Introduction to Agenda 21 to present your case in a sensible manner that makes people want to learn more.
  • A new easy-to-do 10 minute Agenda 21 presentation that appeals to public officials.
In this first webinar you will see actual video of a county commission meeting featuring an SFL activist presenting an incredible new tool for property rights protection - the "Planners Resolution to Protect Property Rights." We'll show you how it's used and how it affected these County Commissioners. Our activist said they were like "deer caught in the headlights!" it's that effective.

These monthly Internet programs are designed to help activists from across the nation learn new winnable tactics in shutting down Sustainable Development in your town.

By registering for each SFL webinar you will be doing much more than training. You will be helping to provide the tools we've always needed to win. Here's how: Part of our plan (if enough people sign up) is to use the proceeds from your registration to:
  • Organize a network of elected officials to help them interface, share, and assist one another as they face those working to use them to enforce Sustainable Development.
  • Establish a legal defense fund.
  • Create "SFL Response Teams."
  • Create a network of trained field coordinators.
  • Provide your public officials with real community surveys that reflect what your neighbors want, not skewed questions and cherry-picked responses that support the schemes of the planners.
The more we have the more we can do.

Until now, we have been struggling to play catch-up to planners, NGO's and government agencies. The question we must ask now is - will we continue to accept business as usual or are we going to change the game? SFL has the answer.

Watch the program right in front of your own computer. But don't watch it alone! We urge you to invite 5 or ten of your friends and fellow activists. Share the registration fee. Make it part of your group's research and training. Use the program for your entire group to watch the seminar and then take action together.

There is only one connection fee regardless of the number of viewers!

Nothing like SFL has ever been possible before. We've heard the pleas for help, along with the growing frustration and despair from property owners. Now, with the creation of SFL, that's all about to change. We finally have the answers, the tools and the cadres of activists we've so desperately needed.

Together, Tom DeWeese and John Anthony have created a plan which will turn the tables on the Sustainablists and electrify our movement.
Working together, we will win.

Do not miss this new and exciting opportunity to change the battle to restore American freedom.

A new app called "In Obama's own words" is great.  Right now it is only for the iPhone.  If you are wanting for someone to hear something Obama said that really is awful for our country, and he has said a lot, this app is what you need on your iPhone.  It is only $.99.  It is well worth it.  It is him talking and saying these things that other people can hear when you press the play button.  Pass this information on.  The guy who made this is had so many requests to make it for other popular cell phones now.  He is just a great patriot who is a great computer nerd and did this after hundreds of hours of work on it.   

 

 

 



Florida Family Association  

 Florida Family Association's webmaster American Family Online has produced the following remarkable product to protect children and adults from explicit material on cell phones and tablets.

 

 

( You can find more information please see http://mobilewebguard.com )

 

According to our research at AFO, the largest growing group of smart phone users is the 12-17 year old age group.  Unfortunately, also according to research, the largest viewership of pornography from the Internet on smart phones is 12 to 17 year old children.  The impact is catastrophic.  Desensitization, failed relationships, abuse of women are the results, nothing good.

 

Although there are other so called parental control functions and filtered browser apps available, none give the protection and full functionality of MobileWebGuard.  We are most proud of the intelligent content scanning and the lock down so that it cannot be easily removed or deactivated.  A filter that can easily be removed or bypassed is a placebo and will do more harm than good if a parent thinks the phone is filtered and it is not.

 

This app works on most Android and Apple (iOS) devices including smart phones and tablets!  These are the fastest growing segments in consumer technology and thus the most exposed to the dark side of the Internet.  For peace of mind online, a parent must insure their child has a protected mobile device.


Related Scripture Verses

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.

 

Romans 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

 

2 Corinthians 12:21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

 

Philippians 4:8- Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.

1 Peter 4:7-10
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

Act for America

Brigitte Gabriel to Speak
at 2 Events in
Pennsylvania!

   
Brigitte Gabriel   Leading Global Islamic Terrorism Expert 

Brigitte Gabriel
CLICK HERE to view Brigitte's special video invitation!



It is my privilege to invite you to a special event featuring Brigitte Gabriel, Founder and President of ACT! for America. These events are free and open to the public and will be held at the following:

Community Alliance Church
800 Mercer Road
Butler, PA 16001    
Sunday, October 14th at 6 PM

and    
Morning Star Fellowship
100 Limekiln Road
Bechtelsville, PA 19505    
Thursday, October 18th at 7 pm


Ms. Gabriel will speak on the rise of Islamic radicalism in your community and in our nation. Her story of survival as a persecuted Christian living in a bomb shelter for 7 years will have you captivated and inspired! She will share how the events of 9/11 compelled her to start ACT! for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S.

The recent assaults at our embassies have been a sobering wake-up call to America. The lesson is that we should be displaying strength to our enemies, not appeasement which only demonstrates our weakness. Without question, the threats of radical Islam to America have increased.

These are just some of the threats Brigitte will discuss:

  • Suppression of criticism of Islam
  • Homegrown jihad
  • Terrorists infiltrating our borders
  • The Muslim Brotherhood and creeping sharia law in America
  • Misrepresentation of history in our public education
You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam...how we are winning legislative victories...how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail.

I encourage you to forward this email to everyone you know. For those who are not familiar with ACT! for America, please share this short video with them.

http://youtu.be/vGHNI0kaLc0

I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree, not only do you not want to miss this, but you will want to bring your relatives and friends with you. It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come!

Invite your friends and come join us in Butler and Bechtelsville, PA! We look forward to seeing you on October 14
th and October 18th.

Yours for a Safe and Free America,

Dear Friend and Patriot Leader,

As you know too well, unless our friends who fear God, respect our constitution and love freedom unite now and vote in this upcoming election, we will lose the America we have known. Yet remarkably, 15-30% of self-identified Christians are not even registered to vote. If even a small percentage of those joined the fight, it could make the difference in the 2012 election. Making this happen is my highest priority, and once again I need your help.

 

At the Pennsylvania Pastors' Network (PPN), we have been working very aggressively with pastors across the commonwealth. We're calling on them to stand boldly at the pulpit, preach the truth, and teach the Scripture as it addresses the intersection of policy and Christian culture. At the same time, I'm encouraging them to urge their members to register to vote, and to vote biblically and constitutionally on Election Day. PPN has just embarked on a mass Christian voter registration effort, called  "From Pews to Polls -An Initiative to Protect Religious Freedom in America." We want to reach into every church in Pennsylvania and enlist thousands of new voters. This is where you can help in an easy, but very big way.

 

First, I need your help to identify churches and pastors. If they believe in the authority of Scripture and that our rights come from God not government, we want to work with them. If you are able to make one or more recommendations of this sort, please click here to be taken directly to our website. Once there, simply supply the requested information, and if you include his or her phone number, we will personally call that pastoror church leader.

 

If you'd prefer to send information to a church or pastor, please feel free to forward the letter you'll find at the bottom of this email. I sent this letter last week to roughly 2000 pastors across Pennsylvania, but there are thousands and thousands more who need to know about this. As you help us find them, you help restore our foundation. We'll be able to discreetly and confidentially determine which members of each congregation are registered to vote. This information will be sent directly to the Pastoror another church member and we will assist them in the enlistment of his congregation in reclaiming a Christian founded America. It's easy, it's confidential, and may make all the difference.  

 

Secondly, if you would like to help me by being a PPN volunteer or liaison in your church or county, please let me know by emailing me back at info@papastors.net. I need your help ongoing, and though it won't require much time, it will be a tremendous help toward renewing what we have lost. If you are not signed up for our PPN emails, please do so by visiting www.papastors.netand sign up.

 

You and I have worked together before. Let's engage again in this very important sprint to the polls. Others will encourage the GOTV, but we need to make sure the right people are registered. Now is the time to stand.

 

Yours in truth,

Sam

Dear Pastor and Church Leader, 
 

 
As Americans, we have enjoyed the fruits of civic and religious freedom, prosperity, and abundance as promised by God to all nations that fear Him.  Our Founding Fathers and clergymen cleaved to the knowledge that "blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD," and so they carefully framed our Constitutional Republic firmly atop a devout Biblical Foundation. It was a Republic secured by faith, morality and reverence. But that once secure Republic now sits vulnerable, attacked on all sides by doubt, debauchery and irreverence. So great is the threat that we are now confronted by the reality of Psalm 11:3: "If the foundations 'are being' destroyed, what shall the righteous do?"

 
I have never before seen an assault so aggressive against our foundation, and the question truly has become, "
what can the righteous do?" The answer is simple. The easiest thing we can do is vote! Our vote is our greatest weapon yet shockingly, vast numbers of Christians (30% in some cases) are not even registered to vote. We must turn this around if we want to maintain our freedom. It was Christians who built this great nation, and now we must stand up and save it.
 

For this reason, PPN has embarked on an extensive effort we're calling, "From Pews to Polls - An Initiative to Protect Religious Freedom in America." In addition to calling for dedicated personal and corporate prayer for our nation, we have initiated an effort to assist pastors and grassroots leaders in the facilitation of voter registration. We must enable Christian soldiers who understand that our freedoms come from God and that being the 'salt and the light' is most easily lived out by voting for candidates who are likely to share Biblical values. Voter registration for November 2012 must be completed by October 9th. The deadline is fast approaching. We must quickly move forward.  

 

 

The next step will be up to you. We want to make it as easy as possible so we've done all the preparation and have absorbed all the cost in order to provide you the following:

  • Online Voter Registration Drive Kit - This kit has everything you need to plan and implement a voter registration drive in your church.  September is the month to do this, as the deadline to register is the first week of October in most states. (Church organized voter registration efforts are completely legal and appropriate.)
  • Registered Voter Look-Up Service - We will confidentially identify those in your church membership who are not registered to vote and return that information to you.
  • Follow-Up Email - We will send or provide a template for a personal email from you or me asking unregistered members to register online or to register at a church registration drive during the month of September.
  • Early Voting Information - We will provide information and assistance in helping members of your congregation to vote by Absentee Ballot if they cannot be physically present on Election Day in November.

For more information about the Pews to Polls Project, or to request Voter Look-up Service please send an email to: info@papastors.net, or call us at either 610-793-1800 or 610-584-1096. In addition, we are encouraging the approximately 1700 pastors and churches who are part of the PPN to preach on the cultural, moral issues of our day, using our sermon notes or thier own, during PA Pulpit Sundays, which are the first Sundays of the month.

The Pennsylvania Pastors Network is a network of Biblically-faithful clergy and church liaisons whose objective is to build a permanent infrastructure of like-minded clergy that:

  • Affirm the authority of Scripture
  • Take seriously Jesus' command to be "salt and light" to the culture
  • Want to encourage informed Christian thinking about contemporary social issues
  • Want to examine public policy issues without politicizing their pulpits, using well-prepared teaching and preaching resources
  • Want to engage their congregations in taking part in our political process on a non-partisan basis.
These are tough but exciting goals-and much-needed within the Churches of America regardless of denomination. I pray that we unite around them and claim victory over evil.

Citizens United

 

I am excited to announce that the new, highly acclaimed documentary "The Hope and The Change" will be broadcast on multiple cable and broadcast TV networks  - beginning tomorrow night, Tuesday, September 17th, on HDNet Movies at 7pm ET (click here for information on checking your local listings for the channel and schedule.)

 

"The Hope and The Change" is set to air dozens of times, reaching 130 million cumulative households, over the next few months - an historic first for any political documentary.

This smartly produced documentary will be shown on HDNet Movies, AXS TV, RFD-TV, FamilyNet, and Rural TV.  The film is also licensed to Lesea Broadcasting for World Harvest Television and their broadcast stations: WHMB (Indianapolis, IN), WHNO (New Orleans, LA), KWHB (Tulsa, OK), KWHE (Honolulu, HI), KWHS (Colorado Springs, CO) and WHME (South Bend, IN).

 

Please check local listings for channels: up-to-date information about showings will be added to www.TheHopeAndTheChange.com/TV as soon as it becomes available.  

 

It is important to note that these distribution opportunities would have been against the law a mere three years ago. This is why I went to the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission - to fight for the right to produce a political documentary.

"The Hope and The Change" exposes the hard truth that many Democrats and independents are suffering at the hands of President Obama's failed policies, and we will aggressively market this film so Americans can finally have an unfiltered conversation they deserve.

 

Remember, this is the film that Sean Hannity called the "most powerful documentary I've ever seen!"  Please tune in and share this viewing information with your friends and family!

 

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie
President of Citizens United

P.S. "The Hope and The Change" has the power to change many minds this fall.  That is why it is so important for millions of Americans to see it.  Please help us get this film out to as many people as possible by forwarding this email and spreading the world about the TV showings!
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 

 

With those immortal words, our Founding Fathers declared our independence from Great Britain. In doing so, the 56 courageous men who signed the Declaration of Independence pledged to each other "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

 

Are we today a country that recognizes that level of commitment and sacrifice to the American ideal of liberty?

In Our Sacred Honor, former presidential candidate and Senator Rick Santorum asks this very question. The film presents a journey into our past that explores the meaning of our founding documents, the intentions of the drafters and signers, the origin of our rights, the differences between the French and American revolutions, and the relationship between the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

 

Through reenactments, interviews with historians, experts, and on-location shooting, viewers are taken back to the time of our founding to better understand the principles of government set forth in America's founding documents and how they enabled us to create the greatest nation in the history of the world.

Buy Our Sacred Honor on DVD right now at our website www.OurSacredHonorMovie.com!

During the presidential campaign, Senator Santorum often quoted the two founding documents that bind our nation together - The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  Our Sacred Honor goes into great detail about what those sacred documents truly mean and so it is appropriate that we begin the full promotion of this film on Constitution Day. 

Senator Santorum will be appearing on Fox News' Fox and Friends on Monday, September 17th, at about 7:15am ET. Please turn in to hear him speak about this important movie!

This smartly produced documentary walks through the pivotal moments that led to our nation's independence and explains how, out of many, we formed a more perfect union. It was a pleasure making Our Sacred Honor with Senator Santorum, and I know patriots everywhere will enjoy it.

Our Sacred Honor is available right NOW on DVD - be the first to own this compelling historical documentary by ordering TODAY!

 

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie
President of Citizens United




 

 

 

Occupy Unmasked

Today we are excited to announce that "Occupy Unmasked"  will be made available on Video on Demand (VOD), on the heels of its successful limited theatrical release. "Occupy Unmasked" must be seen to be believed and now you and millions of others will have that opportunity right in your own homes.

The VOD providers carrying "Occupy Unmasked" include iTunes; Amazon; Charter; Comcast; Google Play; DirecTV; Playstation3; Suddenlink; Time Warner; Verizon FIOS; VUDU; Xbox Zune; AT&T UVerse; Cablevision; Cox; and Dish Network.

For more information on how to watch on VOD please click HERE.

"Occupy Unmasked," takes viewers into the Occupy Wall Street camps across the country in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Portland, Denver and Oakland for an up-close look at what's happened there and who's at the heart of the movement. Exclusive footage and first-hand eyewitness accounts tell the story of the criminal activity and raw brutality in the camps - much of which has not been reported by the mainstream media.

Featuring the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart, as well as former leftist radicals turned patriotic citizen journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, and Lee Stranahan, among others, this film delves beneath the surface of the Occupy movement to show its anarchist roots.

The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq

Jul 18th, 2012 

Daniel Greenfield's new Freedom Center pamphlet, The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq, is an effort to understand the politics of the "war on terror" which has now reached a final punctuation point with the U.S. decision to speed its withdrawal from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan (where success was once deemed so crucial to national security), and to practice an incoherent form of regime change in Libya while ignoring more serious threats in Syria and Iran.

 

The war on terror began, Greenfield shows, as an admirable bipartisan commitment soon after the tragedy of 9/11-an effort to transcend party lines not only to punish those who attacked our country but also to interrupt planning for further attacks and try to stop the international spread of the Islamic jihad behind the attacks. But the Democratic Party, with the honorable exception of a few individuals like Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman, turned its back on a war soon after authorizing it, and did so at a time when American troops were facing hostile enemy fire.

 

Although Senate Democrats on the intelligence oversight committee had been granted access to every piece of data available to the White House, they now accused President Bush of tricking them to secure their approval. In fact, their own about-face was entirely dictated by political considerations when a Sixties antiwar activist, Howard Dean, surged ahead in the Democratic primary polls and it appeared for a moment that Americans were on the side of retreat and capitulation.

 

Although regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Democratic senators such as John Kerry who only months earlier had supported the war effort now launched demoralizing attacks on the American commander-in-chief and his troops in the field, stigmatizing it as "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." If the truth was the first casualty of their war against the Bush administration, the second casualty was the principle of bi-partisanship that had guided foreign policy debates throughout the Cold War, the principle that "politics stops at the water's edge." Now partisan politics trumped security.

 

The unrestrained attacks on the Iraq War as illegal and unjustified went largely unanswered by Republicans who failed to call the Democratic saboteurs of the nation's war effort to account or to decry the risk their cynical attacks posed to American servicemen and women on the battlefield. As Greenfield demonstrates, the Democrats' partisanship had consequences not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the region: the paralysis that resulted from their "anti-war" campaign led straight to the destruction of Lebanon and the installation of a terrorist army, Hezbollah, there as a regime within a regime. And it emboldened an overtly Islamofascist regime in Iran not only to supply the IEDs responsible for most of our troop fatalities in Iraq but also to proceed with a nuclear program aimed directly at Israel and the West.

 

The Great Betrayal shows that Barack Obama's abandonment of Iraq is a betrayal of all the Americans and Iraqis who gave their lives to establish freedom in that country. And the result of his policies in Afghanistan has been as disastrous. While the President presented his rationale for pursuing war there as the pursuit of al-Qaeda, after abandoning his "surge" (which resulted in two thirds of all America's Afghan casualties there and the resurgence of the Taliban allies of al-Qaeda), he blithely prepared for withdrawal as if national objectives had been met.

"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.

Are You Registered to Vote? Do You Have a Photo ID? Do They Match?

September 10, 2012

 

According to the U.S. Constitution all American citizens 18 years of age or older, regardless of race, color, religion, or creed, whether male or female, have the right to vote.  However, voting in Pennsylvania this year will be a bit more complicated than prior years due to the new Voter ID law.  A dedicated group of Main Line citizens are doing what they can to make sure that you can exercise that right on November 6th. 

A small table located at Gateway Shopping Center (near Trader Joes and Great Earth Vitamins) is staffed with volunteers on weekends who will assist you by:

  • Providing voter registration forms
  • Helping people to complete their voter registration form
  • Providing absentee ballot application forms and completion instructions
  • Providing up to date information on the voter ID requirements

Additionally, if anyone has a question that the volunteer on duty is unable to answer, we will take their name, email address and/or phone number and get back to the questioner with an answer.

The table will be staffed every Friday from 3 pm to 7 pm and every Saturday & Sunday from 9 am to 7 pm now thru October 7th.

We recommend that everyone check to make sure that (1) you are still registered to vote and that (2) your voter registration name exactly matches your name on the photo ID that you plan to use on Election Day.  To confirm that you are registered, go to www.can9/10/12ivote.org . Select Pennsylvania; then click on Find Voter Registration Status.  Entering your personal data will allow you to confirm that you are registered and provide you with the address of your polling place.

Some may question whether citizens in our area really need help in registering to vote.  When this service was provided in 2008 over 1000 people registered at the table!  Volunteers assisted citizens from the 5-county Philadelphia area and Lancaster, Berks, and Lehigh Counties. 

Key dates for this fall's election are:

10/9 - last day that Voter Registration forms will be accepted by Voter Services

10/30 - last day that Absentee Ballot applications will be accepted by Voter Services

11/2 - last day that completed Absentee Ballots will be accepted by Voter Services

11/6 - Election Day

Hillsdale constituion class  

 

Hillsdale's New FREE Online Course:
The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism

 
Available to you, your family, your friends,
and all Americans.

Begins September 4, 2012 - Sign Up TODAY!


Dear Linda,   
In 2012 our Constitution is under assault like never before.

Even as I write, self-described Progressives are working to subvert the Constitution to replace it with an ever more expansive and intrusive bureaucratic despotism.

My name is Larry Arnn and I'm the President of Hillsdale College.  You might have heard Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservative radio hosts talk about Hillsdale College.

The ongoing radical Progressive agenda poses a serious threat to the survival of free government in our great nation.  At Hillsdale, we believe that a massive, nationwide education project to promote America's founding principles is the only way to defeat this Progressive agenda.

As one of our most loyal supporters, you've been an important part of Hillsdale's effort to educate Americans on the importance of preserving our Constitution.

That's why I want you to be one of the first to know about our brand new online course:

"The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and
the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."


The first class begins on Tuesday, September 4 and the final one will occur during the week of the national elections in November. I hope you'll sign up immediately.

[Register for this new course right now.]


In this no-cost, ten-week course, you'll learn from members of Hillsdale's politics department faculty - some of the nation's top scholars on the Constitution - about the history of Progressivism and how the movement has slowly chiseled away at our freedoms over the past century. 

With Hillsdale's outstanding reputation as a leading academic institution, this course offers you a unique educational experience that you won't be able to get anywhere else.

Earlier this year Hillsdale offered its first online course on the Constitution.  And in doing so it made a major impact with more than 275,000 Americans registering for "Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution."  
We expect our newest course - The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism - to attract even more attention.  And I hope you will be one of the registrants! 

Here are the ten lecture topics for the course...

The Progressive Rejection of the Founding
and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism

  1. The Founders' Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism
    Larry P. Arnn, Tuesday, September 4
  2. Woodrow Wilson and the Rejection of the Founders' Principles, Part 1
    Ronald J. Pestritto, Monday, September 10

 

  1. Woodrow Wilson and the Rejection of the Founders' Principles, Part 2

Why is Hillsdale teaching a course on the Progressive movement?


Americans who believe in constitutional liberty and limited government need to understand what they're up against, so Hillsdale designed this course to teach Americans the history of Progressivism and how it continues to work to ignore and dismantle the U.S. Constitution.

From its intellectual origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, to the massive government expansions under FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, to the third great expansion of big-government programs during the past three years, Progressives are making our country unrecognizable in comparison to the constitutional republic created by America's Founding Fathers.

To understand fully this attack on limited government constitutionalism, and thus to know what is needed to stem the tide, take Hillsdale's new online Constitution course, which starts on September 4 and concludes the week of the national elections in November.

PLEASE GO HERE TO REGISTER NOW.


AND, like all Hillsdale online courses, it will be archived online so that you can refer back to the lectures or access them at your leisure.

I have the privilege of delivering the first lecture, "The Founders' Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism," and the final lecture, "Restoring Constitutional Government." All of the classes will be taught by Hillsdale College professors - the top teachers in their field and the same ones who instruct our students here on Hillsdale's campus.

[Go here to see the course's schedule and register]


I am proud, thanks to your past support and the support of many patriotic Americans, that Hillsdale College is teaching hundreds of thousands of Americans about the Constitution and its principles of liberty. This course is crucial for all Americans who want to understand the dangers confronting the Constitution and its principles today. I hope YOU will join us for this important course!

As President of Hillsdale College, I have devoted my life to education, and in particular to teaching about the American founding, its underlying principles, and subsequent constitutional history.

The last chapter in that history, covering the past century, tells a story about how the progressive movement has undermined the Constitution and replaced it with a bureaucratic despotism - if we are to recover the Constitution, that story must be understood.

That is why we are offering this new course, free, to all Americans.

[Please go here to enroll in our new Constitution Course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism" Today]


The more than 275,000 who signed up for our first constitution course last spring prove that Americans are willing and eager to study and defend the Constitution and the principles that made our country the most free and most prosperous in human history!

I hope you will sign up for our new course and help continue this re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution.

OUR CHALLENGE

Hillsdale College has accepted this challenge, and our commitment to making this course available to citizens nationwide is proof.  But we need you, as one of our best supporters, to help to make this possible. . .

[Go here to register and donate]


As you may already know, in order to protect the integrity of its mission and prevent intrusive government regulation, Hillsdale College accepts no taxpayer funding whatsoever, even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or loans.

This exhaustive, 790-page volume was compiled by our Politics Department faculty at Hillsdale. It's the perfect companion to all of Hillsdale's online courses on the Constitution.   
For a donation of $50, I'll send you a complimentary copy of my recently-published hardbound book. Its title is:

THE FOUNDERS' KEY: THE DIVINE AND NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DECLARATION AND THE CONSTITUTION AND WHAT WE RISK BY LOSING IT

In this book I explain the unique connection between America's two most important documents, how that connection has been severed today, and why we must repair it for the sake of freedom.

With your gift of $25, I'll send you a custom-engraved blue and silver Hillsdale pen as a token of our appreciation for your support.


Your gift, of whatever amount you can provide, will help make it possible for us to offer this important course on the Constitution to all Americans. And for that I am grateful.

For liberty to prevail, Americans must understand and defend the U.S. Constitution.

Thank you for supporting Hillsdale College.

THE INTERFAITH TASKFORCE FOR AMERICA AND ISRAEL (ITAI)

123 S. Broad Street, Suite 1832, Philadelphia, PA 19109

                                                         

Sunday, September 30, 2012

Dear ITAI MEMBERS AND DONORS:

 

ITAI ON THE MOVE...Joseph Puder addressed Thursday, September 27, 2012 a group of Israeli businesspeople from throughout the Delaware Valley on the current developments in the Middle East. The dinner program took place in Cherry Hill, NJ...ITAI wishes our members, supporters, and friends a very Happy Sukkot holiday.

This WEEKLY MIDDLE EAST REPORT is concerned about the American Decline in the Middle East. The recent murderous riots in Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, and elsewhere in the Muslim world has revealed the impotence of the Obama administration in influencing developments in the Middle East.

AMERICAN DECLINE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

By: Joseph Puder

 

Steve Kroft's sycophantic interview of President Barack Obama, last Sunday on CBS'60 Minutes program, replete with soft questions and a crude inference that Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu was somehow taking sides in the U.S. presidential election, contrasted sharply with the tough questioning of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney by Scott Pelley.  Kroft's acceptance of Obama's triumphal declarations of "victory" at having taken U.S. troops out of Iraq were taken at face value despite the fact that Obama has essentially delivered Iraq to Iranian control.   

 

Highlighting as his major national security accomplishment the killing of Bin Laden, does not explain to the American people how "foreign contingency operations" can be a substitute for combating Islamic terrorism: both the Shiite brand, which is Iran and Hezbollah, and the Sunni variety of Al Qaeda, Hamas, and a global Islamic terror network. Bin Laden may be dead but Islamic terrorism is alive and well, and was presented most recently in Libya, Egypt, and throughout the Muslim world, where American and western facilities were attacked.  Moreover, the appeasing of Islamists as Obama has done since his Cairo speech in June 2009 has signaled American weakness on the Arab and Muslim streets, and given a back wind to Islamist terror groups.  Hard hitting questioning for the president on these issues, however, was not part of Kroft's carefully scripted interview. 

 

These latest anti-American riots in Libya and Egypt which resulted in the brutal killing of U.S. Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi and three other Americans, have served to spotlight just how weak the US is in the eyes of the regional people.  Arshad Mohammed writes on June 17, 2012 in the Pan-African News wire that "Events in Egypt, Bahrain and Syria illustrate the limits of U.S. influence in the Middle East following the Arab Spring and a U.S. reluctance, at times, to exercise such clout as it has."

 

Perhaps Barack Obama is not the only one to blame for the American decline of strength, but what we have seen during his presidency is how fully impotent the US is in this vital region that is the Middle East.  Since the end of the Vietnam War, a large swath of the American public has expressed reluctance to fight for democracy and freedom globally. The demise of the Soviet Union helped to reinforce that sentiment.

 

In the absence of American Red Lines, Saddam Hussein gambled on U.S. unwillingness to engage in war, when in August of 1990 he invaded Kuwait - a vital oil producer for the West.  Earlier, in 1979, Iranian Revolutionary Guard operatives took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held American diplomats hostage for 444 days - a clear crossing of Red Lines by any civilized yardstick.  America's failure to retaliate left the Islamists to conclude that America and the West will only go to war if their economic interests are in jeopardy. 

 

Today Iran takes its cues from North Korea, a brutal dictatorship that has ignored both American incentives and warnings with impunity.  The Ayatollahs of Iran have endlessly tested American resolve, and found that it lacking, to say the least.  The sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies on Iran have had no impact on the ruling elites, and the Obama administration must be aware of it. The Clinton administration, likewise, did nothing to stop Pakistan's Abdul Kadeer Khan from selling nuclear materials for bombs throughout the 1990's.

 

The culture of political correctness adopted by the Obama administration is exhibited in its language and its refraining from calling Islamic terrorism by name at all costs.  The best the administration can do is to call the September 11, 2012 attacks on U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya "terrorism."  The Islamist regimes and Islamist terrorist groups are rarely named by the mainstream media or the administration as Muslim or Islamist, in contrast to the Soviet satellites and affiliated groups who were referred to in the past as "communist."  Better yet, in recent years, U.S. authorities have allowed radical Muslim groups and mosques to operate freely in America.  Radical Islamists are regularly invited to the White House, and they provide "sensitivity training" to U.S. national security agencies. No wonder the Arab and Muslim worlds consider America a "paper tiger," rather than a super-power with sharp teeth.

 

ABC-TV News reported on February 10, 2011 that the Obama administration Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "raised some eyebrows today at the House Intelligence Committee hearing when he described the Muslim Brotherhood as a 'largely secular' organization.  The term 'Muslim Brotherhood,' Clapper said 'is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam..." The ignorance displayed by a top administration official on the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood is more than telling, it is a perversion of reality. 

 

President Obama asserted, according to the New York Times (9/28/12), that "he still wants to resolve the issue (of Iran's nuclear program) through diplomacy, and believes that there is "still time and space to do so."  This assertion is either naïve or ignorant of reality. The Iranians have shown to the world by word and deed that nothing will persuade them to stop their nuclear program.  The Arab Gulf states, as much as Israel, hoped for Red Lines to be set by Obama, but none happened.  Obama will not set a deadline or Red Lines.

 

Ben Stein, writing in the American Spectator (9/24/12) charged that "Now, it's not just that no one bats an eye at the amazing truth that the United States is beaming TV ads all over Pakistan apologizing for a derogatory Internet trailer for a nonexistent movie demeaning the being that Muslims call 'The Prophet Mohammed.' No one in the MSM even slightly hints that doing the kowtow in the same country that sheltered Osama bin Laden to a group that reveled in, delighted in the terrorism against American civilians and still provides the framework for the terrorist Haqqani network, might be humiliating and an insult to the memory of the great Americans who were murdered just last week in Libya."

 

The only conclusion one can derive from U.S. policies in general and in the Middle East in particular, is that America has lost the will to defend its values.  The Arab and Muslim world respects only those in power who respect themselves.  They cower before those who set a clear Red Line to their enemies, and are willing to fight and sacrifice for their values.  Conversely, they despise those in power like the Obama administration, which continues to grovel and appease their mortal enemies.

 

That brings us back to Steve Kroft and his own appeasing interview with Obama.  Kroft's attitude is symptomatic of America's mainstream media which is in accord with a weak and groveling America.  The mainstream media that Kroft represents, with its lack of will to confront wrong and defend that which is morally right, in the name of impartiality, is a contributing cause of America's decline in the Middle East.

Democrat registration down 500k in swing state, GOP enthusiasm 16% higher and Obama leads: Really?

Oct 01, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

Media fraudulent pollsters you've been busted. Your fake numbers have been exposed by two very unlikely and probably unwilling sources.  Last Friday the Leftist cheer leaders at the Third Way "think tank" made what had to be a very sad announcement for them. They told the world their researchers had found Democrat registration has fallen by 490,000 in just Ohio alone and without going into finer numbers had also declined by significant numbers in other important states. Florida Democrat registration is down 4.9% Iowa Democrats have lost 9.5% and remember that "thisclose" swing state of New Hampshire, the one that flipped its entire government just two years ago - Democrat registration is down 19.7%! More than this Third Way also found Republican registration was down only a 10th of the Democrat decline and that Independents (who favor Mitt Romney by 14 points) had grown in numbers.

Obama shields genocidal Muslim from Republican legislation

Sep 30, 2012 01:00 pm | Coach Collins

by Doug Book,  staff writer

Barack Obama has decided to oppose Republican legislation which would deny American aid to any nation which hosts a visit from legendary Muslim murderer, Sudan president Omar al Bashir.

Introduced by Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia, the Amendment to 2013 Foreign Operations Appropriations passed the House in May,   its purpose to "...send a clear message to the international community that Bashir, the world's most notorious perpetrator of genocide deserves to be treated as a pariah." That "clear message" would prevent offending nations collecting billions in non-humanitarian foreign aid from the United States. (1)

In 2008, the International Criminal Court (ICC) indicted Bashir on 10 counts of murder, genocide and crimes against humanity for the killing of some 35,000 inhabitants of Western Darfur, rather a small percentage of the 2.5 million the Muslim president of Sudan is "credited" with dispatching during his 20 years of rule. Al Bashir is subject to ... Continue Reading:Obama shields genocidal Muslim from Republican legislation

Heritage Foundation Morning Bell 

 

The Administration's Messy Story on Libya Attack

Washington is notorious for dropping news it doesn't want scrutinized too closely on the last day of the work week. So last Friday was a convenient time for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to release a statement about the Obama Administration's conflicting accounts of the attack that killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya.

The ODNI statement appears intentionally vague on exactly what it knew when and who was told. It does little to address concerns that the President's senior supporters seemed more concerned about minimizing criticism of the White House than addressing the threat of transnational terrorism.

The question remains: Why did senior officials issue contradictory and wrong accounts of what happened during the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi?

It took the intelligence community more than a week to get out the clarifying statement-and its "explanation" came only after the Administration started taking heat for initially downplaying the involvement of terrorists in the Benghazi attack. This raises concerns that the ODNI statement is more about providing political cover for the White House than answering serious questions about the misstatement from the President's spokespersons.

From the outset, there was more than a little confusion about what government officials knew when. As Heritage's Helle Dale noted on Thursday:

Reportedly, U.S. intelligence sources knew within the first 24 hours of the attack that not only was al-Qaeda involved, but also which members and even where one of them lived. And yet, Administration officials toed the line unfailingly that the murders were provoked by the YouTube trailer for Innocence of Muslims.


The Administration's official line on embassy attacks was already shaky, after Twitter posts, press statements, and other official pronouncements related to the attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo were pulled from State Department websites.

But the worst was Ambassador Susan Rice's defense of the Administration on television last weekend. Rice vigorously asserted that the attack in Benghazi was not "premeditated," even as she must have known top Libyan officials were already declaring that the attacks were planned.

The Administration's response to Benghazi drew even more scrutiny in the following days, as the President delivered a muddled speech to the U.N. General Assembly that appeared more focused on placating anti-American sentiment than expressing outrage over a terrorist attack on American citizens.

By the end of the week, it was clear that the White House was taking more heat for its handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack than it wanted. And that was when the ODNI statement suddenly appeared, stating that it had initially informed senior officials that "in the immediate aftermath, there was information that led us to assess that the attack began spontaneously." Only later, the statement adds, did it receive additional evidence pointing to a deliberate attack.

Clearly, acknowledging that terrorism is alive and well looks bad for the Obama Administration's rhetoric, which has portrayed Obama as having vanquished Osama bin Laden and thus ending the "war on terrorism." The chaotic handling of the Libya attack points to one of two culprits: incompetence or dishonesty. The American people deserve the truth, whatever that may be.

Is violent Islamic extremism at war with us?

 

The Obama Administration's public answer, featured in our new advertisement, was NO, they are NOT at war with us. Click here to watch our new advertisement, "At War?" and share with as many people as possible that Obama refuses to recognize that our enemies are at war with us!

 

Obama STILL hasn't personally called the recent attack on our Libyan consulate a terrorist attack, but this should be no surprise, as our advertisement points out that he refused to call terrorist Carlos Bledsoe's attack that killed Army Private Andy Long in Little Rock, Arkansas a terrorist attack. He called it a criminal act.  

 

How can we defeat our enemies if we don't recognize them for who they are and why they want to destroy us?

 

Every American should see this advertisement. Please share it and donate to help us run it if you can!

Act for America

October 1, 2012     "The Libya Debacle"                            

How did Members of Congress vote on key national security issues? Log on to our 2012 Congressional Scorecard to find out.    Still more revelations  

As the September 27
th Wall Street Journal column below states, "The more we learn, the more Benghazi looks like a gross security failure."

It's troubling enough that the Obama administration misled the American people about what happened at our consulate in Libya. It's troubling enough that they knew within 24 hours it was a terrorist attack, but continued for days to falsely claim it was a "spontaneous mob" incited by a video no one had ever seen.

Now, in the column below (highlights added), we learn details about security concerns that went unheeded-and four Americans, including our ambassador, are dead as a result.

Significantly, in a sign that there is growing bi-partisan concern, Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations committee are joining Republicans in raising questions and demanding answers.

  Had enough? Then sign our petition.

     
The Libya Debacle     The more we learn, the more Benghazi looks like a gross security failure.     http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444180004578018534242887950.html?mod=googlenews_wsj     In his United Nations speech on Tuesday, President Obama talked about the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and declared that "there should be no doubt that we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice." What he didn't say is how relentless he'll be in tracking down the security lapses and intelligence failures that contributed to the murders. Let's say there's some doubt about that.

None of the initial explanations offered by the White House and State Department since the assault on the Benghazi consulate has held up. First the Administration blamed protests provoked by an amateurish anti-Islam clip posted on YouTube. Cue Susan Rice, the U.N. Ambassador and leading candidate for Secretary of State in a second Obama term: "What happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction . . . as a consequence of the video, that people gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent."
     
ABACAUSA.COM The attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 12, 2012.

Administration officials also maintained that the diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt, the site of the first attacks this September 11, were properly defended and that the U.S. had no reason to prepare for any attack. "The office of the director of National Intelligence has said we have no actionable intelligence that an attack on our post in Benghazi was planned or imminent," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last week, calling the security measures in place there "robust."

Cell phone video footage and witness testimony from Benghazi soon undercut the Administration trope of an angry march "hijacked" by a few bad people. As it turned out, the assault was well-coordinated, with fighters armed with guns, RPGs and diesel canisters, which were used to set the buildings on fire. Ambassador Chris Stevens died of smoke inhalation. Briefing Congress, the Administration changed its story and said the attacks were pre-planned and linked to al Qaeda.

You'd think this admission would focus attention on why the compound was so vulnerable to begin with. But the Administration wants to avoid this conversation. The removal of all staff from Benghazi, including a large component of intelligence officers, would also seem to hinder their ability to investigate the attacks and bring the killers to justice.

Journalists have stayed on the case, however, and their reporting is filling in the Administration's holes. On Friday, our WSJ colleagues showed that starting in spring, U.S. intelligence had been worried about radical militias in eastern Libya. These armed groups helped topple Moammar Ghadhafi last year but weren't demobilized as a new government has slowly found its legs. As we've noted since last winter, the waning of American and European interest in Libya could have dangerous consequences.

Deteriorating security was no secret. On April 10, for example, an explosive device was thrown at a convoy carrying U.N. envoy Ian Martin. On June 6, an improvised explosive device exploded outside the U.S. consulate. In late August, State warned American citizens who were planning to travel to Libya about the threat of assassinations and car bombings.

Despite all this, U.S. diplomatic missions had minimal security.
Officials told the Journal that the Administration put too much faith in weak Libyan police and military forces. The night of the Benghazi attack, four lightly armed Libyans and five American security officers were on duty. The complex lacked smoke-protection masks and fire extinguishers. Neither the consulate in Benghazi nor the embassy in Tripoli were guarded by U.S. Marines, whose deployment to Libya wasn't a priority.

Rummaging through the Benghazi compound, a CNN reporter found a seven-page notebook belonging to Ambassador Stevens. According to the network, the diary said he was concerned about the "never-ending" security threats in Benghazi and wrote that he was on an al Qaeda hit list. In deference to the family's wishes, CNN didn't quote directly from the diary and didn't divulge any private information in it.

His worries are newsworthy, however, and can inform America's response. But Mrs. Clinton's long-time and closest media adviser chose to attack CNN. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philippe Reines called the network's conduct "disgusting." He then deployed words not fit for a family newspaper in an exchange with a reporter for the Web site BuzzFeed. Mr. Reines may wish to protect his boss's legacy for her 2016 Presidential run, but that won't be enhanced by the appearance of a cover-up.


Imagine the uproar if, barely a month before Election Day, the Bush Administration had responded to a terrorist strike-on Sept. 11 no less-in this fashion. Obfuscating about what happened. Refusing to acknowledge that clear security warnings were apparently ignored. Then trying to shoot the messengers who bring these inconvenient truths to light in order to talk about anything but a stunning and deadly attack on U.S. sovereign territory.

Four Americans lost their lives in Benghazi in a terrorist attack that evidence suggests should have been anticipated and might have been stopped. Rather than accept responsibility, the Administration has tried to stonewall and blame others. Congress should call hearings to hold someone accountable for this debacle.

Mitt Romney: A New Course for the Middle East

Restore the three sinews of American influence: our economic strength, our military strength and the strength of our values.


Disturbing developments are sweeping across the greater Middle East. In Syria, tens of thousands of innocent people have been slaughtered. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has come to power, and the country's peace treaty with Israel hangs in the balance. In Libya, our ambassador was murdered in a terrorist attack. U.S. embassies throughout the region have been stormed in violent protests. And in Iran, the ayatollahs continue to move full tilt toward nuclear-weapons capability, all the while promising to annihilate Israel.

 

These developments are not, as President Obama says, mere "bumps in the road." They are major issues that put our security at risk.

Yet amid this upheaval, our country seems to be at the mercy of events rather than shaping them. We're not moving them in a direction that protects our people or our allies.

 

And that's dangerous. If the Middle East descends into chaos, if Iran moves toward nuclear breakout, or if Israel's security is compromised, America could be pulled into the maelstrom.

 

We still have time to address these threats, but it will require a new strategy toward the Middle East.

 

The first step is to understand how we got here. Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We're unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law. We ally ourselves with like-minded countries, expand prosperity through trade and keep the peace by maintaining a military second to none.

 

But in recent years, President Obama has allowed our leadership to atrophy. Our economy is stuck in a "recovery" that barely deserves the name. Our national debt has risen to record levels. Our military, tested by a decade of war, is facing devastating cuts thanks to the budgetary games played by the White House. Finally, our values have been misapplied-and misunderstood-by a president who thinks that weakness will win favor with our adversaries.

Benghazi-Gate: U.S. Security Remained Lax Even As Threats Chased Westerners Out

by John Nolte

If you want to look for a motive behind the White House deceiving, and in some instances, outright lying about what really happened in Libya on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, look no further than this Washington Post story:

Security in eastern Libya deteriorated sharply in recent months. A string of attacks, some linked to fundamentalist groups, made clear that Westerners were no longer safe. The International Committee of the Red Cross suspended operations and evacuated staff in the east after an attack June 12 on its compound in the port city of Misrata. In Benghazi, convoys transporting the U.N. country chief and the British ambassador were attacked in April and June, respectively. The British government shut down its consulate soon afterward.

The Parade of Bad Polls, Continued 

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 02:22 PM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

Today the Romney campaign is trumpeting the latest CNN/ORC poll which shows President Obama with a three-point lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, 50%-47%. The Romney campaign likes this result, apparently, because it represents a significant improvement over the last CNN/ORC poll, which came out three weeks ago. In that survey, CNN/ORC found a six-point Obama lead.

I wrote about the earlier poll here, pointing out that it obviously over-sampled Democrats. A reader calculated that, given other data in the survey, the six-point difference was consistent with a breakdown of D-38%, R-26% and I-36%. I wrote that the most significant point in the CNN poll results was that independents favored Romney over Obama by a remarkable 14 points.

So today's CNN/ORC poll has Obama's lead cut in half, to three points. Does that mean that Romney is surging? Not really. It means they didn't call quite as many Democrats. This time, the pollsters gave us the partisan breakdown of their sample: D-37%, R-29% and I-34%. So when the partisan gap in the sample narrowed from D +12 to D +8, Romney did three points better. Well, yeah.

Is either of these sample compositions plausible as a representation of the 2012 electorate? Plainly not. Currently, Scott Rasmussen finds that more voters identify themselves as Republicans than Democrats, and all surveys report that intensity is at least as high among Republicans as among Democrats this year. So who could possibly believe that there will be 8% more Democrats than Republicans at the polls in November?

Polls like the ones conducted by CNN and ORC are useful primarily as an indicator of which party's members are more likely to answer their telephones when they are called by strangers.

 

Some Reminders from 1980 

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 11:48 AM PDT

(Steven Hayward)

As we've argued here before, this election campaign has many important differences from the Reagan-Carter race of 1980.  But there are some important similarities, including the volatile polls, and the media's tilt toward the Democratic Party narrative. In this regard, recall the Washington Post's editorial after the election ("Tidal Wave"), which said something they may well have to reprint this year:

Something of gigantic proportions happened-must have been happening for a long while-and the capital and the political wise men were taken by surprise. . .  an 'anti-Washington,' 'anti-establishment' political storm warning was missed by Washington and the establishment."

Funny how good Washington is at missing the anti-Washington moods that build periodically in the country.

You can expect a repeat of these kind of stories in the media, as recalled in my Age of Reagan:

Pollster Burns Roper admitted that "The Press, political analysts and political strategists all missed the magnitude and breadth of the sweep."  A week before the election, the New Republic's Morton Kondracke wrote that "it seems more likely by the day that Ronald Reagan is not going to execute a massive electoral sweep.  In fact, the movement of the presidential campaign suggests a Carter victory."  David Broder had written: "There is no evidence of a dramatic upsurge in Republican strength or a massive turnover in Congress."  Though polls in the days leading up to the election showed Reagan ahead of Carter, most were near or within the margin of error, and everyone was predicting a late-night nail-biter.  The New York Times poll three days out had Reagan ahead by a single point; veteran California pollster Mervin Field said "At the moment there is a slight movement toward Carter."  George Gallup said "This election could very well be a cliffhanger just like 1948."

By the way, there's an interesting tidbit from my narrative about the 1980 election that Romney ought to have absorbed before forming his thoughts about the notorious 47%. It was this: "McGovern later said he knew his reelection was lost when two elderly women in the grocery store told him they would vote against him because he is too liberal, and then paid for their groceries with food stamps."  The point is, even people taking advantage of entitlement programs may not be fond of liberal dependency, and might respond to better arguments about the future.

 

It's still very much a race in Ohio 

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 09:33 AM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

A PPP poll of Ohio released last night gives President Obama a 49-45 lead. The margin of error is 3.5 points. PPP concludes: "It's a mistake to think based on recent polling in Ohio that the race there is over. Obama is not popular in the state. . . ."

The Romney campaign expands on this theme by making the following points about the PPP poll:

· More people disapprove than approve of Obama in Ohio. 49% of respondents disapprove of the job Obama is doing, and only 48% approve. There are plenty enough people in Ohio who disapprove of Obama for Mitt Romney to persuade and win the state's 18 electoral votes.

· Undecided voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Obama. Among those still undecided on the election, just 13% approve and 65% disapprove of Obama. Mitt Romney has a huge pool of undecided voters to talk to in October who have already concluded that Obama has done a poor job in office.

· This poll was a D+5 sample, closer to reality. As we've pointed out, many of the Ohio public polls show outrageous leads for Obama were caused by dramatic oversampling of Democrats. This survey is a bit more realistic. It's amazing what happens when you stop oversampling Democrats - you find a race in Ohio that is tight-as-a-tick. As a reminder, in 2008 Democrats enjoyed a partisan turnout advantage of eight points (D+8). In 2004, Republicans had an advantage of five points (R+5). We believe this race will fall somewhere well inside those confines, even as some national media surveys give Democrats an advantage outside those bounds.

"Tight as a tick," huh. When did Dan Rather join Team Romney?

The Romney campaign also touts its ground game in Ohio:

Mitt Romney's campaign in Ohio is absolutely crushing its ground game metrics as part of the Republican Party's Victory effort. Sometime this week the campaign will knock on its one millionth door and make its three millionth phone call since May. More doors have been knocked in Ohio than in any other swing state by the Romney-Ryan Victory effort, and public and private polling continues to show a similar number of Ohioans who say they've been personally contacted by the Romney and Obama campaigns. This is a significant achievement considering that Obama's operators claim to have hundreds of offices and thousands of staffers in Ohio who've been prepping their effort for four years. The Romney-Victory effort began in May. This tells us that Obama's ground game claims are largely made for press release fodder and not actual voter contact.

Last week, the Romney-Ryan Victory effort in Ohio knocked on 162,506 thousands doors. The week before it was 137,948, leaving the astonished Ohio Democrat Party Chairman exasperated in this Washington Post article. Sorry to ruin your Monday morning, Mr. Chairman. In fact, over 300-thousand Ohio doors were knocked in the last two weeks by thousands of Ohio Republican volunteers hungry for a change in leadership in the White House. These volunteers know that the Romney-Ryan road to victory in November runs through Ohio, and they are doing everything in their power to make that a reality.

According to the Romney campaign, the bottom line in Ohio is this: "The race in Ohio is close, undecided voters are extremely unhappy with Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney's campaign has built a ground game that is at the very least matching Obama's while surpassing all previous Republican efforts when it comes to knocking on doors and contacting voters face-to-face."

That sounds right to me.

STEVE adds: Roger Beckett of the Ashbrook Center sent along these observations yesterday:

The Columbus Dispatch released a poll showing Obama up by 9% in Ohio. I find this unbelievable. In the Dispatch poll, 860 respondents (52.6%) voted for Obama and 669 respondents (40.9%) voted for McCain. So this poll samples 11.7% more Obama voters than McCain voters. But in 2008, Obama won Ohio by only 4.6%. This poll heavily oversamples Obama voters, and there is no way that this poll is reflective of likely voters in Ohio.

There is a simple explanation for why it is much easier for pollsters to reach Obama supporters in the Buckeye state this year: there are over a million Obama-Phones floating around Ohio.

 

The Hinderaker-Ward Experience, Episode 33: Cheerleading for the GOP [Bumped] 

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 08:48 AM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

On Saturday morning, Brian Ward and I recorded episode 33 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, joined by our own Steve Hayward as a guest. We talked about the gloom that seems to have settled over many of our fellow conservatives. We are seeing it here at Power Line: a few weeks ago, we were experiencing some of the strongest traffic in the history of the site. It was obvious that conservatives were energized and soaking up news and commentary. But over the last week or two, traffic has declined rather sharply. I am told the same thing has happened at other conservative sites. I am pretty sure the reason is that many Republicans have been demoralized by what I consider to be the Left's latest disinformation campaign, so this morning we set out to do some cheerleading.

Here is how Brian described today's podcast on Ricochet:

It's a Saturday special edition of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience podcast. John Hinderaker of Power Line and me, Brian Ward of Fraters Libertas, joined by our special guest, the great Steven Hayward.

It's a lively discussion on the state of the Presidential race, including the characteristic optimism of John Hinderaker. He doesn't buy into the doom and gloom so many Republicans are feeling with regard to Mitt Romney's chances in November, and he tells us to grab our pom-poms and not to believe the hype.

We also get into the issues surrounding recent political polls and alleged bias with regard to over-representation of Democrats, and we preview the Presidential debate coming up on Wednesday. Finally, we wrap things up with Steve by putting our professional prognostication reputations on the line and predicting what will actually happen on November 6.

Then it's "Loon of the Week", courtesy of the fine folks at the Media Research Center. And "This Week in Gatekeeping" (with an international flavor), as the editors and fact checkers in Iran prove to be every bit as effective as their American counterparts.

You can listen to the podcast by playing it right here, or you can go to Ricochet to download or subscribe to the podcast in various ways, or you can hit the subscribe button in the graphic above to subscribe on iTunes or elsewhere. Or you can use Stitcher. There are many ways to experience the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, but I think the best is by subscribing on iTunes. That way, you never have to worry about missing an episode.

Politico/GW poll contains good news for Romney 

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 08:30 AM PDT

(Paul Mirengoff)

A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of likely voters shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney by 49 percent to 47 percent. That's a point closer than a week ago and still within the margin of error.

The poll shows Romney leading among independents by 4 points. It also confirms that Obama faces an uphill battle with this group. Independents give Romney a 14-point edge on jobs and an 11-point edge on the economy. And more than 60 percent of independents disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy and spending. Romney ties Obama with this group on who is the stronger leader and leads by 9 points on who has the best ability to get things done.

In other words, the "fundamentals" strongly favor Romney among independents. When all is said and done, this edge could quite plausibly translate into a margin of more than 4 points with this cohort.

But even a 4 point advantage would be consequential. According to Politico, Obama won independents by 7 percent in 2008, and that, essentially, was his margin of victory.

The Politico/GW poll also found that enthusiasm for Obama among Democrats has diminished. Only 75 percent of Democrats in the poll sample say they are extremely likely to vote. A few weeks ago, in the afterglow of their convention, 81 percent of Democrats said they are "extremely likely" to do so. Republican enthusiasm, meanwhile, has held steady at around 80 percent.

If Romney holds or expands his lead among independents, Obama will need high intensity from Democrats.

Finally, the poll gives Obama a strong advantage in the realm of foreign policy. Even after the attack on our embassy in Libya, and revelations of the administration's mishandling of the situation and its aftermath, Obama leads by 12 points on who is better able to handle foreign policy. Last week, he led by 9 points in this poll on that issue.

I should add, however, that a recent Bloomberg poll provides, at a minimum, an interesting footnote to this point. It found that Romney holds a 48-42 advantage over Barack Obama on the question of which candidate would be tougher on terrorism.

"Toughness on terrorism" doesn't equal "better able to handle foreign policy." But if the public now perceives Romney as tougher on terrorism, this should offset, at least partially, Obama's perceived advantage on foreign policy, especially now that everyone finally agrees we suffered a deadly terrorist attack this past 9/11.

NEW ON PJ MEDIA
The exit polls from the 2008 presidential race suggested that Barack Obama overwhelmingly defeated John McCain with Jewish voters, winning by 78 percent to 21 percent. This year, the safest prediction one can make is that Barack Obama will win as comfortably among Jewish voters as he did in 2008.

I am committing professional heresy. Here it goes: government medical licensing is morally and economically wrong. As with all other forms of occupational licensing, medical licensing actually serves primarily to protect the practitioners at the expense of the public. Furthermore, the interaction between current licensing laws and upcoming ObamaCare laws will harm both patients and doctors in unanticipated ways.
 
TOP STORIES ON PJ MEDIA
On Sunday night, Spanish-language station Univision -- one of the only networks to provide critical coverage of President Obama's failures in office instead of cream-puff interviews -- broke open the Fast and Furious investigation, revealing new evidence of weapons smuggling and displaying shocking new images of the bloody aftermath of the government-supported gun-smuggling program.

All those people who cheered when President Obama mocked old-fashioned notions of intelligence and hard work are the very same people now outraged by Romney's clumsily stated remarks about the "47%." In other words, the same people who helped create the "47%" are those whose existence they're now trying to deny.

Obama Voters: Your Candidate Is A Bloodless Ideologue Who Doesn't Care Who Suffers
GrassTopsUSA Exclusive Commentary
By Don Feder
10/01/2012


         Iconoclast H.L. Mencken may have been the orneriest curmudgeon ever to put acid-dipped pen to paper, but regarding Obama voters, his famous epigram - "Democracy is the theory that the common people know exactly what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard" - is so true it hurts (them and us).

         Massachusetts businessman "Battlin' Bill" Barnstead was a perennial Republican offering against then-House Speaker Tip O'Neill. As crusty as Mencken - and certain that nothing he said or did could possibly alter the inevitability of O'Neill's reelection every two years - Bill was contemptuous of the electorate he was expected to court.

         In one of his campaigns, Barnstead produced a brochure with a caricature of himself as Uncle Sam, pointing an accusing finger and asking voters in the Mass. 8th. Congressional District: "Are you ignorant or stupid?"

         With a mountain of evidence pointing to America's imminent collapse should Obama have four more years to swing his socialism/surrender wrecking ball, it's a wonder that any save hard-core leftists could conceivably support this president.

         But they do. If the polls are right, anywhere from 47% to a majority of voters will choose national suicide on November 6.

         For doctrinaire leftists, celebrity cretins, fuming feminists ("Romney wants to take away my - free - birth control!") and 20-somethings with multiple body piercings - who, like, think it's so cool to vote for an African-American president - this is to be expected. All are so far removed from reality that they may as well be living on Neptune with Lady Gaga.

         But what of the rest?

         Most think Obama's doing the gosh-darn best he can with a mess inherited from Bush (during whose 8 years, the average unemployment rate was 5.2%), that an exploding National Debt could never, ever affect their lives, that America can be defended with a disappearing military, and that plundering the rich (those greedy bastards!) creates jobs.

         If I could grab their pea-brained attention for 5 minutes (if I could tear them away from Dancing With Desperate Housewives on Survival Island) I might ask the following:

Bombshell Obama Vetting: 1979 Newspaper Article By Valerie Jarrett Father-In-Law Reveals Start Of Arab Purchase Of U.S. Presidency

 

Why would Muslim oil billionaires finance and develop controlling relationships with black college students? Well, like anyone else, they would do it for self-interest. And what would their self-interest be? We all know the top two answers to that question: 1. a Palestinian state and 2. the advancement of Islam in America. The idea then was to advance blacks who would facilitate these two goals to positions of power in the Federal government, preferably, of course, the Presidency. And why would the Arabs target blacks in particular for this job? Well, for the same reason the early communists chose them as their vanguard for revolution (which literally means "change") in America. Allow me to quote Trotsky, in 1939: "The American Negroes, for centuries the most oppressed section of American society and the most discriminated against, are potentially the most revolutionary element of the population. They are designated by their historical past to be, under adequate leadership, the very vanguard of the proletarian revolution." Substitute the word "Islam" for the words "the proletarian revolution," and you most clearly get the picture, as Islam is a revolutionary movement just like communism is. (Trivia: it is from this very quote that Van Jones takes his name. Van is short for vanguard. He was born "Anthony"). In addition, long before 1979, blacks had become the vanguard of the spread of Islam in America, especially in prisons.

 

Interestingly, in context with the fact that this article was written by her father-in-law, Valerie Jarrett has an unusual amount of influence over Obama (along with personal security that may be even better than his, another unusual and intriguing bit of business here). And equally interesting is that Obama, who may have been a beneficiary of this Muslim money, and may now be in this Muslim debt, has aggressively pursued both of the Muslim agendas I cited above. And, also equally interesting, is that Obama has paid a king's ransom for court ordered seals of any such records of this potential financing of his college education, and perhaps, of other of his expenses.

 

Lastly, it's very important to note that the main source for the article is Khalid Mansour, "the same lawyer who allegedly helped arrange for the entrance of Barack Obama into Harvard Law School in 1988." (Valerie Jarrett, by the way, was born in Iran. The one country protected by Obama from the sweep of the Arab Spring.) Now all of this may seem sensational, but let's face facts. What makes it most disturbing is that not only is it all logical, but it suddenly makes a lot of previously confusing things make perfect sense. - Pat Dollard  

 

Excerpted from Daily Interlake: Searching old newspapers is one of my favorite pastimes, and I have tried to use them many times to shed light on current events - or to inform readers about how the past is prologue to our very interesting present-day quandaries.

COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 36 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS -- 90 DAYS TO TAXMAGEDDON


Exposing Obama's Assault On Faith

My Super PAC, Campaign for American Values (CAV), has launched another major effort to expose Barack Obama's assault on our cherished values. CAV is running 30 and 60 second ads in Iowa and Ohio on Christian, country and news talk radio stations.

The ads highlight the disgusting reaction of Democrat activists to the inclusion of God in their party platform, as well as Obama's attempt to force religious institutions to violate their core values through Obamacare's contraceptive mandate.

Click here to listen to the ads. Please share this link with friends and family members. Let them know that we are fighting hard to defeat Barack Obama and to defend our values!


A Weekend Of Jihad

Radical Islamists continued slaughtering "infidels" over the weekend. Here's a sample of headlines.

  • Agence France-Presse: "Christians Flee Egypt Town After Death Threats"
  • Associated Press: "U.S. Embassy Issues Terror Warning For Americans In Egypt ... Threat To Women Engaged In Missionary Activities"
  • Reuters: "String Of Iraq Blasts Kills At Least 32"
  • Reuters: "Muslim Protestors Torch Buddhist Temples, Homes In Bangladesh"
  • Associated Press: "Explosive Attack On Kenya Church Kills Child"
  • Associated Press: "U.S. Military Deaths In Afghanistan Hit 2,000"


The last headline was the result of yet another "green on blue" attack involving Taliban sympathizers in the Afghan security forces who turned their weapons on our troops. When the tragic milestone of 2,000 deaths was reached in Iraq, the media used the occasion to undermine support for the war effort and George W. Bush.

But the media do not seem very interested in dwelling on the casualties in Afghanistan. That's because the war isn't going well under Barack Obama's direction. According to the site icasualties.org, nearly three quarters of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan have occurred since Obama took office.

Our media and cultural elites insisted four years ago that our troubles in the world were the result of the "cowboy" in the Oval Office -- George Bush. So we elected Barack Obama, who bragged about his Muslim background and introduced himself to a cheering Berlin crowd as a "citizen of the world." That world is now kicking him and us in the head.

Obama has spent his entire presidency reaching out to our enemies. As the headlines show, all it has gotten us is attack after attack. Imagine four more years of this, and imagine if during those four years Iran declares it has a nuclear weapon!

But don't worry. U.S. Muslims held a demonstration last week in Dearborn, Michigan. Surely they were standing with us and against the extremists, right? Sadly, the protest, which reportedly drew at least 1,000 people, was called to demand "deterrent legal measures" against those who defame Islam. In other words, the Michigan protestors were echoing the demands of the extremists to limit our First Amendment rights!

Here's my idea for immigration reform: If you don't believe in the U.S. Constitution, you don't get to come into our "house."


A New Course For The Middle East

Writing in today's Wall Street Journal, Governor Mitt Romney highlights the failures of Barack Obama's foreign policies and argues that in order to guarantee that the 21st Century is another American Century, we must restore America's "economic strength, our military strength and the strength of our values." I couldn't agree more. You can read Governor Romney's editorial here.


Hugo Chavez Endorses Obama Again

Hugo Chavez, the socialist dictator of Venezuela, said this weekend, "...if I was from the United States, I'd vote for Obama." He went on to say, "Obama is a good guy ... I think that if Obama was from Barlovento or some Caracas neighborhood, he'd vote for Chavez."

It's obvious why Hugo Chavez supports Obama and thinks Obama would support him. Chavez certainly knows a fellow socialist when he sees one, and he also knows a weak-kneed American president when he sees one.


More Bizarre Polls

We got another round of bizarre polling data this morning. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney by just two points, 49% to 47%, among likely voters. Yet, according to this same poll, Obama leads Romney by 11 points in eight critical swing states, including Florida and Ohio. Presumably Obama also has big leads in California and New York. If all these figures were right, the national poll would not show a two-point race.

The latest Politico/George Washington University poll found an identical two-point Obama lead. In this poll, Romney was leading among independent voters by four points.

Now here is some encouraging news. Early reports from Ohio indicate that requests for absentee ballots from Republican voters is up dramatically, while requests by Democrat voters is down significantly.

That said, do you remember our report last week on the Ohio woman who was voting for Obama because she got her "Obama phone"? According to the Dayton Daily News, that program has nearly doubled in the past year and more than one million Ohio residents reportedly now have "Obama phones."
 


 

 

 



Heritage Education Review

Five Questions for Education Secretary Arne Duncan
By Rachel Sheffield

On Tuesday morning, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will address the National Press Club. We have five questions we'd like him to answer:
  1. You said the outcome of the Chicago teachers strike was "great for children." Considering that the union hindered a merit-pay proposal that would have awarded the most effective teachers and that the proposals demanded by the unions, such as step increases in pay and across-the-board pay raises-have no impact on academic achievement, just exactly how do children benefit from the union's deal?
  2. The Obama Administration has pushed aggressively to implement Common Core national education standards. While the standards have been touted as a state-led reform, the Administration continues to condition federal education funding-and most recently No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waivers-on whether states adopt the standards. Isn't this an overreach of the federal government into state and local authority?
  3. The momentum for school choice continues to increase. Support for private school choice is at an all-time high-44 percent-in the U.S, and studies show that voucher students are succeeding. Many of the children currently benefiting from school choice are those from the worst performing schools and from low-income families. Why does the Administration continue to oppose private school choice?

Heritage's Opposition to National Education Standards Advances Public Debate
By Lindsey Burke

Federal intervention into education has been a growing problem over the past four-and-a-half decades and is being supersized by the Obama Administration's current efforts to push states to nationalize their standards, tests, and, ultimately, curriculum.

Heritage has been sounding the warning bell about the Common Core national standards push and has been particularly critical of federal efforts to incentivize their adoption. It is part of our effort to restore good constitutional governance in education and promote conservative public policy solutions to improve our nation's education system.


Number of the Week

34
The average reading (verbal) SAT score is down 34 points since 1972, a four-decade low.

Low SAT scores aren't the only bad news. U.S. student graduation rates haven't budged since the 1970s and academic achievement rates have remained essentially flat. Yet federal per-pupil spending has nearly tripled since that time.

See SAT Scores at Historical Low; Education Spending at Historical High 
 Quote of the Week
"As every parent knows, each child is different. In education, one size does not fit all.... When parents have the ability to leave if a school is not working for their child, all schools perform to a higher standard. Competition works in our everyday lives and it does work in education, too."

--Greg Gianforte, the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice

Debating Mitt Romney

By Ben Stein

 

We knew who Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale were. And (alas) we know who Barack Obama is. But what about Mitt? He should tell us who he is.

Saturday
Through the magic of C-SPAN, right in my bedroom, with my Julie Goodgirl next to me, I am watching a 1984 debate between Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan. Reagan is great and frankly, so is Mondale. The numbers they talk about are hilarious. They were worrying about a deficit in the billions. Now it's in the 16-17 trillion range. Wow, are we far out on a limb.

But here is what I noticed and what I recall from 28 years ago. The media were totally aligned against Reagan. They HATED him. But he won by a landslide largely because he was a magnetic, likeable guy, and also because he had a specific program...

Muslims Riot Over Having Nothing To Riot About 

Not_Insult_Islam_Slay.jpgScores were injured and numerous buildings were burnt to the ground in the city of Itsnotsobad after a riot was started by peaceful Muslims who expressed outrage over five straight days of no provocation or insults from the West.

Mahmoud Iwannariotbad, a local businessman who sells detonators, wire, and dynamite to the local mosque construction industry, stated that the violence began when a group of men hanging around in his store began discussing the fact that no new anti-Islam films, subway advertisements, or Pamela Geller blog postings had appeared for a number of days.

One of them began shouting, "They are NOT INSULTING us because they think we are all violent, stupid thugs and not peace-loving sons of the prophet. This is an insult to Islam! Let's kill them!"

"Suddenly, they all wanted to buy detonators, wire, and dynamite," Mr. Iwannariotbad continued...
