"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Charles Jarvis, 1820

Administration: Iran has agreed to nuclear talks
WND's earlier report of secret deal confirmed by latest development
Editor's note: Reza Kahlili will discuss this breaking story on an upcoming edition of "Fox and Friends," time yet to be announced.
The United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program for the first time, the New York Times reported today.
The agreement comes just two weeks before Election Day and the weekend prior to the final debate, which is to focus on foreign policy.
The timing of the unfolding events fits the template for an "October surprise" already suggested by WND's report this week that the Obama administration had cut a deal with Iran that would end many of the sanctions against the Islamic Republic in exchange for the promise of a temporary halt to uranium enrichment.
The story of the administration's secret negotiations was broken on WND by Reza Kahlili. Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran's Revolutionary Guards and author of the award-winning book "A Time to Betray".
While the New York Times reports Iranian officials insisting that talks wait until after the election so Tehran knows whom they will be negotiating with, WND sources say one of the enticements for Iran to announce a halt to enrichment now is to assist Barack Obama's re-election chances. Mitt Romney is seen as less yielding than Obama and a president who will be quick to support Israel.
The New York Times story spotlights the political ramifications of the announcement on Romney, noting his opposition to any level of enrichment by Iran - a concession that experts say is likely to be part of any deal - and warning his opposition to today's announcement "could make him look as if he is willing to risk another American war in the Middle East without exhausting alternatives."

(Based on the two stories below with regard to both the White House and Iran denying the New York Times report, the question that should be asked - What is really going on?)

White House Denies Reports: No Intention to Hold One-on-One Nuclear Talks With Iran
The Blaze | by Erica Ritz | Posted on October 20, 2012 at 8:18pm
 The New York Times reported Saturday that the United States has agreed to bilateral talks with Iran over its highly contested nuclear program.
However, the White House denied the report Saturday evening.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor released a statement:
It's not true that the United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one talks or any meeting after the American elections. We continue to work with the [P5+1] on a diplomatic solution and have said from the outset that we would be prepared to meet bilaterally. The President has made clear that he will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and we will do what we must to achieve that...

Now Iran Is Denying the Report That It Will Hold One-on-One Nuclear Talk With the U.S.
The Blaze | by Madeleine Morgenstern | Posted on October 21, 2012 at 11:30am
 Iran is now echoing the United States in denying the report that the two countries will hold direct talks over Iran's disputed nuclear program.
The New York Times reported Saturday that secret exchanges between U.S. and Iranian officials had yielded "in principle" an agreement to hold one-on-one talks for the first time. The White House quickly denied the report, with National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor calling it "not true."

The EPA's Gas Chamber!
You just can't make this stuff up! In the best tradition of the Nazis, the EPA has conducted experiments with elderly people, for $12 an hour, to see what their reactions are to inhaling diesel fumes! While there is ample evidence left over from the Nuremberg trials after WW2, our EPA decided to find out for themselves! Thankfully, an investigative reporter got wind (pardon the pun!) of these experiments and filed a lawsuit against the EPA!!! (See attached below)
I wonder if these gas chamber experiments on the elderly have any relationship to OBAMACARE?

The Economic Collapse
Oct 19, 2012
The future of the United States of America is being systematically destroyed by our politicians, but unfortunately most Americans don't really grasp exactly what is happening. 30 years ago, our national debt had just crossed the one trillion dollar mark. Just recently, it crossed the 16 trillion dollar mark. Prior to every election, politicians from both parties swear up and down that they will do something about our exploding debt, but it never happens. Once again this year, our politicians are making all kinds of grand promises about getting U.S. government finances under control. But they are also promising all kinds of new plans and programs which are going to cost a lot more money on top of what we are already spending. For the average American, all of this can be incredibly confusing. That is why I have put together a list of facts about the debt and U.S. government finances below. These are things that every voter should know. The federal government is stealing more than a trillion dollars a year from our children and our grandchildren, and they are spending that money in some of the most foolish ways that you could ever imagine. We have accumulated the largest mountain of debt in the history of the world, but our politicians just can't help themselves - they appear to be absolutely addicted to spending money. If we continue on the path that we are currently on, our entire financial system and our entire economy will be destroyed by all of this debt. Time is running out and urgent action is needed to address this crisis.
Many of our founding fathers attempted to warn us about the dangers of government debt. For example, Thomas Jefferson once said the following...
I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing.
Where would we be today if such an amendment had been added to our Constitution?
How much brighter would our future be if the federal government had been forced to only spend what it took in all these years?
Those are very good questions.
The following are 55 facts about the debt and U.S. government finances that every American voter should know....

It is as simple as that. This can be a big help in getting some new people to help out with the GOTV effort. |

Here is what we want people to do: - Come by the office at 6PM.

 A few items of interest: 1. General Wayne Tea Party to host a large rally on Oct 27 in KOPThis will include other tea parties from this region, as well as by The Sheepdogs from West Chester and Warriors Watch, a patriotic motorcycle club. The rally signs should largely be devoted to promoting Tom Smith for U.S Senate, but of course other tasteful and intelligent messages are encouraged. Where: The sidewalk at Route 202 & Mall Boulevard at King of Prussia Malls, by the Wells Fargo Bank. This is the turn where Mall Boulevard leads you between the two malls. Parking: the large lot adjacent to the Wells Fargo property. Do not park in their lot. When: Saturday Oct 26 from 2:00 - 4:00pm (however long you want to stay). 2. Tom Smith - Bob Casey debate to air on WPVI 6abc, Sunday Oct 27http://www.politicspa.com/casey-smith-schedule-a-debate-finally/42543/3. Election vigils at churchesAt our meeting Wed, Carla asked if any churches were doing an election vigil or something like that. This is a wonderful idea; I suggest you guys try to make this happen at your churches. If you're successful, please let us know. Please click on this great Faith Outreach packet assembled by our friends at Coalition For Advancing Freedom. It has a letter and information for your pastor encouraging religious freedom at the pulpit and promoting the Biblical World View through voting. It's outdated (I had sent this out months ago to encourage voter reg at churches) but it's still relevant for requesting that a voting vigil be organized. |

Joint Rally: Tea Parties, 912 Patriots
and allied groups
Next Saturday, October 27th, is the day when groups from our region gather together at King of Prussia Mall for an afternoon joint sidewalk rally in support of Senate candidate Tom Smith, and our next president Mitt Romney.
We invite all fellow Tea Parties, 912 Patriots and other area groups from city and suburbs to participate, along with West Chester Sheepdogs and Warriors' Watch, plus any of your friends and family who wish to join us.
Signs: There are many worthy issues and causes; Audit the Fed, School Choice, Repeal O'Care and the like, but these will be around and still hot well after the election on November 6th. So let's put them on hold until later. And I urge you to avoid signs that show whatsisname's name. It serves no useful purpose and only rouses feelings of defensiveness in his supporters, especially this close to the election.
Putting first things first for this rally means we raise awareness of our candidates, most especially Tom Smith, to replace Casey. Without a senate majority, Romney will be hamstrung in getting any of his programs through.
Rally details appear below; please respond and tell me or Chris Kantrowitz if you and your group can make it.

Parking: Park in the large lot adjacent to the Wells Fargo property. Do not park in their lot.
Schedule: Saturday, 1:00 to 4:00 P.M.; or to 5:00 if we're pumped by audience reactions. or whatever you can handle. Bring a folding chair if you like. And water.

SMITH-CASEY TO FACE OFF IN DEBATE
For Immediate Release
Contact: Megan Piwowar, Communications Director
412-265-4632
PITTSBURGH - The Smith for Senate campaign today announced a debate with Senator Bob Casey, to take place on Friday, October 26, at WPVI's studio in Philadelphia. The debate will be broadcast on Sunday, October 28, and available for rebroadcast after 2:00 pm on October 28, 2012 (and within 72 hours of the original airdate & time) by any television/cable outlet, or radio station that wishes to do so.
"Tom welcomes the opportunity to contrast his detailed plan to create jobs, balance the budget, and reduce the debt with Senator Casey's record as a failed career politician who has voted to increase the debt, raise taxes, and weaken Medicare," said Smith Campaign Manager Jim Conroy. "As public polling in the race has made clear, Pennsylvanian's are raising serious concerns about Senator Casey's lack of leadership and lock step support for failed big government policies."
The debate will be moderated by Jim Gardner, Action News anchor at WPVI-TV. Gardner will be joined by two panelists: Monica Malpass, Action News Anchor and Vernon Odom, Action News Reporter.
The debate will be sponsored by WPVI-TV, 6abc, and The League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania Citizen Education Fund.

The David Horowitz Philadelphia Freedom Center
Upcoming Event |
| | | | | |
|
On October 24th the Philadelphia Freedom Center will be having a lunch with Andrew McCarthy. The event will be at 12pm at The Ritz Carlton. For more information and registration please click here or go to phillyfreedom.org. |
Andrew McCarthy
The David Horowitz Freedom Center is proud to announce the addition of bestselling author and commentator, Andrew C. McCarthy, to its staff. Andrew will assume the position of Executive Director of the Philadelphia Freedom Center, our East Coast branch. As director of the Philadelphia Freedom Center, Andrew will administer its popular speaker series, its campus programs including this year's Islamic Apartheid Week, and its publications. He will also write columns and blog for FrontPageMag.com. Craig Snider will assume the position of Chairman for the Philadelphia Freedom Center.
Andrew McCarthy is a bestselling author, a widely syndicated conservative commentator, and one of the nation's preeminent authorities on national security, law-enforcement, and the domestic threat posed by radical Islam. He is a former attorney for the Justice Department's Southern District of New York, best known for leading the successful prosecution against Omar Abdel Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh," who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and plotted to conduct simultaneous attacks on the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the United Nations complex, and the FBI's lower Manhattan headquarters. Andrew later wrote the Justice Department's 650-page brief when the Blind Sheikh appealed his conviction and defended the case in a successful two-day argument before the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Following the 9/11 attacks, Andrew supervised the U.S. attorney's command post near Ground Zero, helping launch the largest investigation in American history, involving hundreds of law-enforcement and intelligence agents.
After leaving the Justice Department as the Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney in charge of the Southern District of New York's upstate division, he served as a Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense. He has been an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School and at his alma mater, New York Law School.
Andrew's first New York Times bestseller was Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad (Encounter Books, 2008), a critically acclaimed account of the Blind Sheikh investigation, including the challenges of political correctness; the government's resistance to the idea that terrorism is motivated by Islamic fundamentalism; and the folly of attempting to deal with a national security threat as if it were a mere criminal justice problem.
His next book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America (Encounter Books, 2010) centered on the Muslim Brotherhood's "civilization jihad" against the West, its entrenched and expanding network of groups and individuals of influence; and its collusion with the hard Left in an ongoing assault against America's liberty culture. In addition to being a New York Times bestseller, The Grand Jihad was number one on Amazon.
As many analysts have observed, The Grand Jihad accurately presaged the Islamist uprising popularly known as the "Arab Spring." That story continues in Andres's new book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy. Released in September by Encounter Books, Spring Fever describes how the Arab Spring has become a Muslim Brotherhood winter.
Andrew is a longtime contributing editor at National Review, writing weekly columns and posting regularly at NRO's popular blog," The Corner." He is also a columnist for PJMedia, writing its "Ordered Liberty" blog. He has authored two pamphlets in Encounter's well-regarded "Broadside" series: How the Obama Administration Has Politicized Justice (No. 7) and How Obama Embraces Islam's Sharia Agenda (No. 18). Andrew is regularly featured as a commentator on a wide array of national television, radio, and Internet broadcasts.

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'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.

Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 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.

Yes, it's true: You can support ACT! for America-at no cost to you! An important message from
Guy Rodgers, Executive Director
The next time you make an online purchase of almost anything, you could be helping ACT! for America-at no cost to you.
Sound too good to be true? It isn't.
All you have to do is sign up for "iGive"-a program that's been around since 1997.
The concept is as powerful as it is simple.
|
Every time an iGive member makes an online purchase at over 1,000 brand-name stores, a percentage of that purchase is donated to that person's charity of choice.
|
And with the holidays just around the corner, you could be helping ACT! for America with every gift you buy!
The concept isn't new. In the mid-1990s many supporters of non-profit organizations signed up with long distance telephone programs where a percentage of their bill was donated to their charity of choice.
But our investigation of iGive has convinced us that this program has an ease of use and sophistication that we find remarkable.
- Imagine booking a hotel room on Orbitz-and having 1.6% of that purchase price donated to ACT! for America.
- Or buying an Xbox at Best Buy-and having 1.2% of the purchase price donated to ACT! for America.
|
|
The same goes for buying merchandise at Amazon, Bath and Body Works, Advance Auto Parts, Game Stop, Kmart, Home Depot, Holiday Inn, Old Navy, NASCAR Superstore, Overstock.com, Mattel, J.C. Penney, Office Max, QVC, Radio Shack, Shoe Carnival, Pottery Barn-and on and on the list goes.
|
In other words, every time you make a purchase of merchandise you would buy anyway, you would be financially supporting ACT! for America!
All you have to do is log on below and follow the directions to create your account and download the iGive "button." (Note: downloading the "button" is key).
Get Started Here!
When I was first informed of iGive, I was skeptical. I've seen these ideas come and go. Often, they're too good to be true. Or there are all kinds of glitches and problems.
So I spent hours researching.
I looked at online customer reviews (which were very good). I read all of iGive's fine print, such as Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. I signed up and even emailed two tech support questions to see how good their tech support was.
|
And the more I dug, the more I liked what I saw. For instance, both of my tech support questions were responded to within 60 minutes. How often does THAT happen?
|
As you know from our Patriot Partner program, we're all about encouraging a lot of people to each do a little-to do something. When everyone does a little, together we accomplish a lot.
So consider what could happen.
|
If just 1% of ACT! for America members each purchased just $400 in merchandise in 2013, from all the available outlets, and the average percentage donated to ACT! was 1.5%, the total amount donated back to ACT! for America would be...
...$15,000. That's a lot of money, wouldn't you agree?
And if you were one of those ACT! for America members, it wouldn't cost you one thin dime to help ACT! for America receive $15,000.
If this idea really caught on, and eventually 5% of our members made purchases with iGive, that $15,000 could explode to $50,000, $75,000 or more!
|
What's more, that 1.5% figure might be low. Many of the merchants offer percentage donations that are much higher. One printer inkjet company I looked at offered 13%!
Every merchant website you visit tells you right at the top what percentage of your purchase price will be donated to ACT! for America.
Just think what we could accomplish with an extra $15,000, $50,000 or $75,000 in our fight against radical Islam!
Get Started Here!
|
One of the things I most wanted to know was their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Check it out for yourself. I confirmed the terms with a company representative. And I like what I learned. As security-conscious as I am, I have no hesitation using the service-and I'm already doing so.
|
I know there are many people out there who would love to support ACT! for America, or give more than they're giving, but in these tough economic times they simply can't.
Well, here's a way that everyone who believes in our mission can easily support what we're doing-at no cost to them.
It doesn't get any better than that.
|
There are already chapter leaders who have signed up for the program, and the feedback I have been getting from them has been all positive. They love the idea and many of them are already using it.
|
So please, join me and these ACT! for America chapter leaders who are already signed up and using the iGive service.
Yours for a safe and free America

While the Progressive movement seeks to divide Americans-by income, race, or creed-we believe in an ideal that transcends any differences and unites all people: Freedom. When FreedomWorks Foundation helped fund the powerful documentary Runaway Slave, the story of a former NAACP Chapter President turned Tea Party leader, that was the story we wanted to share. Runaway Slave stars FreedomWorks Fellow Rev. C.L. Bryant, who discovers in the film that by buying into the entitlement mindset of Progressives, the black community has traded one form of tyranny for another. Thanks to the outpouring of support for Runaway Slave, I'm pleased to share with you that this exciting film is now available through Video On Demand. Click here and watch Runaway Slave now! Our friend C.L. is not only an electrifying speaker-one that has impressed FreePAC audiences around the country-but also a fantastic storyteller. If you are unfamiliar with Runaway Slave or his story, I encourage you to watch the trailer below: "It's time conservatives take on Liberal Hollywood.
You must see Runaway Slave, it's great!" - Glenn Beck As we fight to reclaim our country we must restore the cultural heritage of America by supporting films, books, and songs that express our ideals. This is how we reach more people with our message and it's the reason Runaway Slave is such a critical project. Please click here now and get Runaway Slave through Video On Demand. The film is also still available in limited theaters. Click here to see where it's playing. Thank you. In Liberty, Matt Kibbe

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

AMERICAN JEWS AND CHRISTIAN EVANGELICALS: IRRECONCILABLE ENEMIES OR INEVITABLE ALLIES?
|
| |
Michael Medved is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host and bestselling author. His daily show is heard by over 3.75 million people across the country. Born in Philadelphia, Michael won admission to Yale at age 16 as a National Merit Scholar. He majored in American History and graduated with honors, before attending Yale Law School, where his classmates included Bill and Hillary Clinton. Michael wrote his first bestseller at age 26 - "What Really Happened to the Class of '65?" - a skeptical reconsideration of the "counterculture" of the 1960's that became a weekly TV series on NBC.
Many American Jews distrust and even fear the rise of the evangelical Christianity. They see this religious movement as a threat to the survival of Judaism in the United States and to the continuance of a society that values pluralism and religious liberty. On the other hand increasing numbers of American Jews view evangelicals as natural allies, not just when it comes to support of Israel, but on a range of social issues here in the U.S. In this provocative presentation, Michael Medved will explain where Jews and Christians already agree, and where they can never agree, in their participation in the ongoing battles shaping American society.

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.

Individuals sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood's sinister agenda have infiltrated the Obama Administration.
Brainwashed by the Muslim Students Association and then propelled in to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the David Horowitz Freedom Center tracks the path of Huma Abedin and other Muslim sympathizers who have navigated their way into positions of great influence in the Obama Administration. Everything is revealed in the explosive new Freedom Center pamphlet, "The Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration," written by Frank Gaffney, national security expert who served as Assistant Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan.

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

Why Senior Citizens Should Prefer Ryan's Medicare Plan To Obama's
Read more:
I made up the following and have been distributing this to seniors. This is based on the above article. Seniors better wake up to the dangers of Obmacare. Carlo From Forbes.com 9/27/2012 by Peter Ferrara Why Senior Citizens Should Prefer Ryan's Medicare Plan to Obama's - "...Obamacare funnels $716 billon out of Medicare to pay for a new entitlement we didn't ask for..."
- "...Medicare's Chief Actuary Rick Foster reports that by the end of this decade, Medicare will be paying less to doctors and hospitals for health care for seniors than Medicaid pays for health care for the poor..."
- "...Under Obamacare, soon enough seniors will be lined up behind welfare mothers in trying to find doctors who will see them, and hospitals that will admit them..."
- Because of the cuts "...In a few short years, hospitals that serve seniors in particular will begin closing, and retirees will have increasing difficulty obtaining access to care..."
- "...And this does not even count any further cuts that may be adopted by Obamacare's Medicare death panel, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). That Board will be composed of 15 unelected, appointed, Washington bureaucrats with the power to adopt still more Medicare cuts that would become effective even without the approval of Congress..."

The Witherspoon Institute
Individual, Community, and State: How to Think About Religious Freedom
MATTHEW J. FRANCK is the director of the William E. and Carol G. Simon Center on Religion and the Constitution at the Witherspoon Institute and professor emeritus of political science at Radford University. He received his B.A. from Virginia Wesleyan College and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Northern Illinois University. A regular contributor to the Washington Post, First Things, and National Review, he is the author of Against the Imperial Judiciary: The Supreme Court vs. the Sovereignty of the People and Strict Scrutiny: Sense and Nonsense on the Supreme Court (forthcoming).
The following is adapted from a lecture delivered at Hillsdale College on September 11, 2012, during a conference on "The Supreme Court: History and Current Controversies."
THERE IS A GROWING awareness among Americans that religious freedom in our country has come under sustained pressures. In the public square where freedom of religion meets public policy, it becomes clearer all the time that there is a high price to be paid for being true to one's conscience. This is no tale of Chicken Little-although a chain of chicken sandwich restaurants based in Atlanta is part of the story. Let me give you a few examples.
In our universities, those citadels of toleration, we find that toleration can be sharply limited. At the Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, the student chapter of the Christian Legal Society was denied any status on the campus because it would not abandon its requirement that members commit themselves to traditional Christian norms regarding sexual morality. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling in 2010, held that the student group's rights were not violated by a "take all comers" policy. Following this lead, Vanderbilt University has rewritten its student organizations policy and effectively chased every traditionally Christian student group off campus, denying them regular access to campus facilities. And at the University of Illinois, an adjunct professor of religion, hired to teach a course on Catholicism, was let go because a student complained about his patient explanation of the Catholic Church's natural law teachings on human sexuality. (He was later restored to his teaching duties, but at the expense of the Newman Center, not on the state payroll.)

October 2012 Norman Podhoretz
Former Editor-in-Chief, Commentary Is America Exceptional?NORMAN PODHORETZ served as editor-in-chief of Commentary magazine from 1960-1995. He was a Pulitzer Scholar at Columbia University, earning his bachelor of arts degree in 1950. He also holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Cambridge University, England, where he was a Fulbright Scholar and a Kellett Fellow. In addition, he has a bachelor's degree in Hebrew Literature from the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has written for most major American periodicals and is the author of twelve books, including My Love Affair With America and Why Are Jews Liberals?
The following is adapted from a speech delivered on September 20, 2012, in Washington, D.C., at Hillsdale College's third annual Constitution Day Dinner.
ONCE UPON A TIME, hardly anyone dissented from the idea that, for better or worse, the United States of America was different from all other nations. This is not surprising, since the attributes that made it different were vividly evident from the day of its birth. Let me say a few words about three of them in particular. First of all, unlike all other nations past or present, this one accepted as a self-evident truth that all men are created equal. What this meant was that its Founders aimed to create a society in which, for the first time in the history of the world, the individual's fate would be determined not by who his father was, but by his own freely chosen pursuit of his own ambitions. In other words, America was to be something new under the sun: a society in which hereditary status and class distinctions would be erased, leaving individuals free to act and to be judged on their merits alone. There remained, of course, the two atavistic contradictions of slavery and the position of women; but so intolerable did these contradictions ultimately prove that they had to be resolved-even if, as in the case of the former, it took the bloodiest war the nation has ever fought. Secondly, in all other countries membership or citizenship was a matter of birth, of blood, of lineage, of rootedness in the soil. Thus, foreigners who were admitted for one reason or another could never become full-fledged members of the society. But America was the incarnation of an idea, and therefore no such factors came into play. To become a full-fledged American, it was only necessary to pledge allegiance to the new Republic and to the principles for which it stood. Thirdly, in all other nations, the rights, if any, enjoyed by their citizens were conferred by human agencies: kings and princes and occasionally parliaments. As such, these rights amounted to privileges that could be revoked at will by the same human agencies. In America, by contrast, the citizen's rights were declared from the beginning to have come from God and to be "inalienable"-that is, immune to legitimate revocation.

News from The Hill:
International monitors at US polling places draw criticism from voter-fraud group
By Alexander Bolton
United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.

A poll commissioned by the Pa. Republican Party has, unsurprisingly, good news for Pa.'s statewide Republican candidates. Mitt Romney leads Barack Obama by 4 points, 49 percent to 45. Tom Smith leads Sen. Bob Casey 48 percent to 46.
It's the first poll of any kind to show either man in the lead. It was conducted by Susquehanna Polling Research, a firm that frequently poll on behalf of GOP candidates and causes.
SP&R surveyed 1,376 likely voters between Oct. 11 and 13 via automatic dials.
The firm poll's rollout was a bit bumpy. SP&R apparently intended to give the numbers exclusively to The Washington Examiner, but also accidentally tweeted the results and then deleted the tweet.
The Pa. Republican Party also sent out an email about the poll, which a spokesperson said was commissioned by the PAGOP.
"Not only have we closed the gap in Pennsylvania, but a new Susquehanna poll shows Governor Romney is now leading by 4 points - but more is needed!" wrote PAGOP Chair Rob Gleason in a fundraising email Thursday. "We must clinch this race for our Romney-Ryan team and lend them our 20 electoral votes. A Romney win in Pennsylvania and this race is over!"
According to a Real Clear Politics average of Pa. polling, Obama leads by 5 points: 49.7 percent to 44.7 percent for Romney. The RCP average does not include this or any polls commissioned by partisan entities.
As with all internal polls, this should be taken with a grain of salt. In addition to the obvious fundraising tie-in, the PAGOP has a direct interest in keeping its volunteers and supporters engaged in the race. Even if Romney loses Pa., Republican turnout will affect other races.
Methodology
There are two major ways to poll. The first is to conduct surveys in relative proportion to population demographics like age, geography, race, gender, etc. Then, when all that matches the population at large, let respondents give their own party identification.
The second is to include quotas for party ID along with other demographic information. Those party quotas are based on turnout estimates.
SP&R's pollster James Lee has explained that his firm uses a turnout model based on 2004, when George W. Bush came within 2.5 points of beating John Kerry in Pa.
In this poll, 48 percent of respondents identified as Republicans and 42 percent as Democrats.
However, even if you believe that SP&R is slanted toward the right (and many people do, as their polls have consistently shown Romney doing better in Pa. than other contemporary polls have), SP&R's trend line is clear.
Here's a look at the firm's recent polls for President.
Oct. 4-6: Obama 47, Romney 45
Sept. 18-20: Obama 47, Romney 45
Sept. 15-17: Obama 48, Romney 47
July 19-23: Obama 46, Romney 43
And here's a look at their recent polls for U.S. Senate:
Oct. 4-6: Casey 46, Smith 44
Sept. 18-20: Casey 46, Smith 41
Sept. 15-17: Casey 45, Smith 42

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...

[Click here to register for our new online course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."]
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.

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.

RedState Morning Briefing
For October 22, 2012
1. Obama Campaign is Like a Chicken With its Head Cut Off
We're two weeks away and signs point to the Obama campaign flailing about like a chicken with its head cut off - or more precisely Florida, North Carolina, and, of all things, Virginia cut off. Colorado too seems to be slipping out of Obama's reach making Ohio more and more necessary. Paul Ryan has begun making incursions into Western Pennsylvania, which gets Ohio media markets, but also helps Republicans in Pennsylvania - something Obama cannot do for Democrats.
Within a week, the Obama campaign will probably trot out some blonde somebody with Gloria Alred to claim Mitt Romney and his five sons have all been sharing her. It will be their October Surprise. No doubt Eric Holder will be enlisted to drum up a few indictments too. They'll pin their hopes on last minute fiction.
2. Inside Obama's Disastrous Foreign Policy
As a prelude to this week's final presidential debate in which the subject will be foreign policy it is appropriate that Foreign Policy has published an essay by former Obama regime official Rosa Brooks. It is frighteningly titled The Case for Intervention... In Obama's dysfunctional foreign-policy team.
It is well worth the read if you are interested in how Obama has mismanaged our foreign policy and made us less respected and more susceptible to attacks now that at any time since the dark years of the Carter ineptocracy.
She identifies six basic things Obama needs to do to turn around his disastrous foreign policy. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Fort Hood Shooting Still Not Terrorism
Three years after Major Nidal Hassan opened fire in a personnel center on Fort Hood, Texas, the Obama regime has yet to declare the incident is what it obviously is: an act of terrorism. Rather, according, to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. Is It Better Treatment Or No Treatment?
One of the thing we've been told over the years is the value of the regular check up with your doctor. This visit is supposed to allow you to identify diseases and conditions early enough to provide your doctor with the opportunity to treat it before it becomes a serious condition.

NOW ENVIRONMENTALISTS, DELUSIONAL OBAMA VOTERS WONDERING W.T.F. HAPPENED TO THE CHOSEN ONE! DISILLUSIONED THEY CRY AND SCREAM, HOW PRODUCTIVE.
By Matt Patterson (columnist - Washington Post, New York Post,
San Francisco Examiner)
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of
Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result
of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze
of the Middle Ages.
How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of
professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could
manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful
military, execute the world's most consequential job?
Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential
life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable
grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community
organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative
achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did
he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the
United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his
presidential ambitions.

Fighting the Ideological War: Winning Strategies from Communism to Islamism
To date, the United States has responded only to the violence that Islamism has generated, not to the beliefs and ideas that drive it. As a result, Islamist numbers and confidence have grown, and Islamist regimes have taken power in the Middle East and North Africa. Until the United States understands and confronts Islamist ideology, it will not be able to slow the Islamist revolution and its destructive effects. This collection of essays proposes an effective strategy for countering and defeating the beliefs that motivate Islamists.

A Republican member of the House intelligence committee is vigorously disputing a new claim by Democrat and fellow committee member Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois that intelligence officials told the committee there had been a "demonstration that was going on" during an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on 9/11 that killed four Americans.
Jonathan Allen of Politico reported early Wednesday morning that Rep. Schakowsky had blamed faulty intelligence for the Obama administration's repeated insistence that the attack had been motivated by outrage at an anti-Islamic video. She had added that the House intelligence committee, too, had received the same incorrect information:

Modern American liberalism has always had a streak of political messianism, a Great Man view of the presidency, and impatience with a government slowed by the checks and balances created by the Founders. The history of modern liberalism begins with Woodrow Wilson, the father of the movement to create a "living Constitution" in place of the written one.
Manssor Arbabsiar has pleaded guilty to the charges of being an agent of the Iranian government who planned -- at Tehran's behest -- to hire a Mexican drug gang to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in a fiery terrorist attack in Washington, D.C. The case is so important because the U.S. government was officially claiming that the Iranian regime planned an act of war on American soil. | | | | TOP STORIES ON PJ MEDIA | |
Constitutionally protected speech can never be legitimized as a cause of violence. Period. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of this point.
Showtime's terrorism drama presents a delusional fantasy about the roots of jihad. "Homeland" succeeds as a thrilling series if one suspends disbelief about its premise.

Stand up and fight: we need everyone to lend a hand for victory
Oct 21, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins
By Kevin "Coach" Collins
The chances that we will win this election are better now than they were a few weeks ago. The momentum has shifted to Mitt Romney and our enthusiasm is higher than the Democrats' enthusiasm. But there is still work to be done. It is not too late to pitch in and help. Wouldn't you do ANYTHING to save America and the future of your children?
Now is the time to stand up and get working for our victory.
There's no one in our country that can't do something.
Here are some suggestions of how to fight back.
Ask doctors to put signs in their offices; 4 of 5 say they might consider quitting medicine if the enemy wins.
Take a very close look at your finances and decide what you can give, not IF you can give.If the enemy wins your money won't be yours anyway.

I just can't seem to muster up any concern or care for the ignorant and still uninformed to which I am supposed to waste my time repeating what I have been saying for years.
Everyone knows about our failed President's allegiance to terrorists and America haters like Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Hugo Chavez and the Muslim Brotherhood. What else is there to say about his traitorous associates, and his financial support for those buying weapons to kill us with the American taxpayer's monies given to them by Barack Obama? If people aren't aware of this by now, I don't care if they never take another breath, let alone steal my time trying to educate them.

More on Benghazi
Oct 20, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins
By Jim Emerson, staff writer
The murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was part of a larger strategy to drive all western influence out of Libya. An earlier attack on an International Red Cross facility and an RPG attack on the British Ambassador's vehicle drove the British out of Benghazi. Feeling embolden the extremists felt they could force the Americans to leave. Earlier probing attacks yielded little results but the lack of a response from the Americans sent a clear message: the United States or the Libyan government would not respond to future attacks.
Criticism
Retired Colonel David Hunt properly laid the blame of the death of 4 Americans at Benghazi on Secretary Hillary Clinton and her State Department. He pointed out that it was Hillary Clinton who prohibited the posting of Marines at any diplomatic posts in Libya. The only security allowed were local contracted security guards who weren't allowed to have ... Continue Reading:More on Benghazi

OHIO the key to Romney winning the White House
Oct 19, 2012 01:13 pm | Coach Collins
by Doug Book, staff writer
Though it has often been suggested that the winner of Ohio will walk away with the presidency, in 2012 that repeatedly asserted chestnut might well be true.
Counting states which lean towards Romney and are likely or solidly in his corner, Real Clear Politics (RCP) claims the Governor currently has 206 electoral votes. Obama has a total of 201. There are ten states which are considered toss-ups. They are (with their electoral votes): Colorado (9); Florida (29); Iowa (6); Michigan (16); Nevada (6); New Hampshire (4); Ohio (18); Pennsylvania (20); Virginia (13); and Wisconsin (10). (1)
According to an article written by National Journal White House correspondent Major Garrett, the Obama campaign appears prepared to cede both Virginia and Florida to Mitt Romney. Apparently Obama's advisors have suggested a more efficient way to spend his remaining campaign resources. (2)
Wins in Virginia (13) and Florida (29) would put Romney's electoral vote ... Continue Reading:OHIO the key to Romney winning the White House

We don't have to settle for unemployment at a chronically high level. We don't have to settle for 47 million people on food stamps. We don't have to settle for 50 percent of kids coming out of college not able to get work. We don't have to settle for 23 million people struggling to find a good job."

Rules of Engagement getting American soldiers killed at alarming rate in Afghanistan
Oct 18, 2012 01:00 pm | Coach Collins
by Doug Book, staff writer
"American troops are needlessly exposed to increased enemy attack, suffer unnecessary casualties, cannot secure or control the indigenous population and are not allowed to deny freedom of movement or maneuver to the Taliban." (1)
This is a portion of an 8 page letter which a Tactical Commander in Afghanistan, Colonel Harry Tunnell wrote to Secretary of the Army John McHugh in August of 2010. Throughout, Tunnell associates what he believes to be unnecessary dangers faced by American troops with the Army's adoption of its "Counterinsurgency" operational doctrine known as COIN.
Introduced into the Afghan theater of operations by General David Petraeus in July of 2010, COIN includes 24 "points" to US commanders in the field, all based on the belief that "alienating Afghan civilians sows the seeds of our defeat." (2) In short, the intent of COIN is to "win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people." (3)

This WEEKLY MIDDLE EAST REPORT shifts to Turkey with its megalomaniacal Prime Minister Erdogan. Winning half of the Turkish electorate in the 2011 elections has gotten to his head. THE TAMING OF ERDOGAN'S MEGALOMANIACIAL IMPULSES explores growing problems Erdogan's government is facing.
THE TAMING OF ERDOGAN'S MEGALOMANIACIAL IMPULSES
By: Joseph Puder
Megalomania in the Middle East is not uncommon; it afflicted numerous figures in the Muslim Middle East including the likes of Gamal Abdul Nasser, the dictator of Egypt, Iranian Shah Muhammad Pahlavi and, Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein. The current regional megalomaniac is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey who has been acting like "God's deputy" and "dispenser of justice" with unrestrained arrogance. Amid mounting troubles, of late, with a declining economy and the political turmoil that surrounds Turkey, in Syria and Iran, his star power is rapidly fading.
Erdogan's political career began in 1976 while a student at Marmara University's Department of Economics. He joined the National Turkish Student Union - an anti- communist action group, and was chosen by his fellow students to lead the Islamist National Salvation Party (MSP), led by the Islamist Necmettin Erbakan. Thus began his commitment and career in Islamic politics. In 1991, Erdogan won a seat in the Turkish Parliament, as a representative of Erbakan's newly formed Welfare Party (RP), but his election was cancelled due to a technicality.
Erdogan's breakthrough came three years later, in 1994, when he was elected mayor of Istanbul. The election of an Islamist figure frightened the city's secular residents, fearing that he would impose Islamic Sharia law, but instead, he ran the city as a pragmatic and successful mayor.
In 1996, the Welfare Party, in coalition with the center-right True Path Party came to power in Turkey. Erbakan became the first defiantly Islamist Prime Minister - shocking the secular Turks with his radical Islamist rhetoric. In February 1997, the military removed Erbakan from power, and Islamist groups were subjected to a crackdown. Erdogan was caught up in the crackdown while delivering a pro-Islamist speech. In 1998 he was convicted and served four months of a ten-month prison term.
During this period of incarceration Erdogan's ego began to flourish. He convinced himself that an alliance of the military, judiciary, and Turkey's secular media, all of which did in fact hate him, his party and his values, were conspiring against him. Erdogan would later focus on destroying these three secular institutions.
In 2001, Erdogan and Abdullah Gul formed the Justice and Development Party (AKP). They differentiated their party from previous Islamist parties by posing as a "conservative" party with a message that focused on political liberalization and economic growth. "Political liberalization" eventually served as a way to destroy the secular military and judiciary, and to crackdown on the liberal media.
The November 2002 elections propelled Erdogan and his AKP party into power. During his campaign there was no mention of his Islamist agenda or talk of a global Caliphate. The center-right and center-left parties, which had previously dominated Turkish politics virtually, disappeared in 2011. The AKP, which had garnered a third of the electorate in 2002, would win half of the electorate in 2011. Erdogan was now well on his way towards undoing the openness that marked the Ataturk revolution and imposing sharia law in Turkey. The AKP victory proceeded to completely change Turkey's political map.
The unprecedented growth of the Turkish economy under the leadership of the AKP, and the seemingly successful foreign policy moves by Erdogan began to go his head. At the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland in the winter of 2009, sitting on a panel with Israel's President Shimon Peres, Arab League Secretary General Moussa Amar of Egypt and Ban Ki Moon, UN Secretary General, Erdogan stormed out of the session when the moderator interrupted him. According to The Telegraph (January 30, 2009) Erdogan charged that "President Peres was speaking to the prime minister of Turkey - I am not just some leader of some group or tribe, so he should have addressed me accordingly," he told reporters. Erdogan's behavior was unprecedented in international forums, and it was the first display of his megalomaniacal personality.
The "Zero Problems Policy," inaugurated by Turkey's Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, and regarded by some as Neo-Ottomanism- an ideology that promotes engagement with areas previously part of the Ottoman Empire, including the Arab Middle East. While others have referred to Erdogan's policy as neo-imperialistic, the bottom line is this "Zero Problems Policy," has turned on itself and Erdogan's Turkey is sinking deeper into the Syrian quagmire.
Not long ago, Erdogan, together with his Foreign Minister Davutoğlu, engineered an alliance with Iran and Syria meant to forestall the rise of Kurdish independence. The fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq ushered in the first semi-independent Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq. The Kurdish population in Turkey of 15-25 millionrepresents approximately one third of Turkey's population of 73.7 million (2010 estimate) and the Erdogan regime has relentlessly punished Kurds who have politically and/or publically asserted their Kurdish identity, or espoused the use of the Kurdish language in the public domain. Kurds, a proud and determined people, have risked public censure, harassment, and prosecution for the crime of being Kurds, and speaking their Indo-European language.
Kurdish frustration with their lack of freedom and independence in Turkey spawned the rise of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), which now has a base in the semi-independent Kurdistan of Iraq. The PKK has been waging a bloody campaign against the Turkish government. The success of the KRG in Iraq has encouraged the Kurds in Turkey to raise their own demands for independence. Since last year's rise of the Syrian civil war and, with the Assad regime tottering, the Kurds of Syria (most of whom live in northeastern Syria bordering Iraqi Kurdistan, and the Kurdish areas of Turkey) have also become hopeful of achieving an independent Kurdish state in Syria. In the meantime, Bashar Assad, the Syrian dictator is supporting the PKK war on Turkey.
Erdogan's Turkey has been a major supporter of the Islamic Republic of Iran in recent years, and has played an active role in mediating the conflict between Iran and the western powers over Iran's nuclear program. Turkey hosted the meeting of the P5+1 nations held in January 2011. Disagreement with Iran over Iraqi politics (Sunni-Shiite divide), and the conflict with Syria (Iran supporting the Assad Alawi regime and Turkey aiding the Sunni opposition) further strained the relationship between Turkey and Iran, and reached a boiling point in September 2011 when Turkey announced that it would install a radar system designed by the U.S., as part of NATO's shield against an Iranian missile attack on Europe.
The Economist summed up Turkey's economy as follows: "The wobbles at the end of the year (2011), which depleted Turkey's shallow pool of currency reserves, ought to have been a warning about the dangers of relying on foreign capital and the need to insure against its drying up. The risk then was a sudden and protracted stop in foreign-capital flows, which would have meant a hard landing for Turkey's economy...The danger now is that a few more years of big current account deficits, and debt-creating capital flow that finance them will leave Turkey less resilient when trouble strikes..." The bottom line is less investment in Turkey, relatively high inflation, and the Euro crisis, which means less Turkish exports, while the Arab market has virtually disappeared with the "Arab Spring."
Erdogan fancied himself as the new leader of the Sunni-Muslim world, and the hero of the Arabs. But, the EU rejection of Turkish membership, and the evaporation of the "Zero-conflict initiative" have left Erdogan in a political cul-de-sac, and while he seeks Assad's demise, he fears an independent Kurdish state in Syria. All of which has served to tame Erdogan's megalomaniacal impulses.

Support Chip Cravaack for Congress (Updated)
Posted: 21 Oct 2012 12:34 PM PDT
(John Hinderaker)
Congressman Chip Cravaack of Minnesota's 8th District is one of Power Line's "Pick Six" candidates. Cravaack won perhaps the biggest upset of the 2010 cycle when he defeated Jim Oberstar in a district the Democrats had held for longer than anyone can remember. Cravaack is one of a handful of Republican House members whose races are drawing massive infusions of cash from the national Democrats. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is currently blanketing Minnesota's airwaves with outrageously misleading commercials against Cravaack (they never mention his mediocre opponent).
I sat down with Chip for this interview a few weeks ago:
Cravaack is running a strong race. His military background as a Navy pilot and his history as a leader of the airline pilot's union have opened doors for him in his union-friendly district, and despite the Democrats' hysterical efforts, he has a good shot at re-election. Chip's American Conservative Union rating for 2011 was 88%, so he is winning with a solidly conservative approach to the issues. If you would like to donate to Chip's campaign-please do!-go here.

Mullahs Panic Over Prospect of Romney Victory
Posted: 21 Oct 2012 11:17 AM PDT
(John Hinderaker)
 From Israel National News comes this highly entertaining report on Iranian coverage of the presidential election:
Iran's government mouthpiece Press TV is panicking over the prospect of a defeat for President Barack Obama and warns that Mitt Romney will steal the election through "black-box" voting machines that "manufacture election outcomes." It also charged that the polls - virtually all of which now show Romney in the lead or at least in a dead heat - are fraudulent. Press TV has picked up on some American website tweets that predict black Americans will riot if Obama loses.
It is striking how closely Iranian state media parallel the fevered fantasies of American liberals:
"All signs are pointing towards another neo con-Republican election theft attempt, like the successful ones of 2000 and 2004," Press TV told its readers Sunday. ... Press TV asserted that the "appearance of blatantly fraudulent public opinion polls giving Romney a substantial lead over Obama...give Romney 'momentum' and create the illusion of plausibility when rigged voting machines hand him a 'surprise victory.'" Adding that the GOP is "backed by the world's biggest crime syndicate." the government-controlled media outlet declared that "Romney actually owns the black-box voting machines that will fabricate - not count - the votes in Ohio, the most important swing state...  "Through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Mitt Romney and his wife, son and brother are major investors in an investment firm called H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G. in turn holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, a company that owns the notoriously faulty electronic voting machines that will count the ballots in swing state Ohio November 7. Hart machines will also be used elsewhere in the United States.
"In other words, a candidate for the presidency of the United States, and his brother, wife and son, have a straight-line financial interest in the voting machines that could decide this fall's election. These machines cannot be monitored by the public. But they will help decide who 'owns' the White House." Press TV accused the Republicans of having stolen the elections in 2000 and 2004 but reasoned that they could not do so in 2008. ... Riots also may break out after Romney is declared the winner, the media outlet continued. ... "If the Republicans steal another presidential election, ...America might experience a wave of protests that would make the aftermaths of the Martin Luther King assassination, and the Rodney King beating, look like a picnic in the park. For a change, Press TV did not refer to the "Zionist conspiracy" having a guiding hand in the "fraudulent" polls and the predicted "stolen" election.
Sounds like they've been reading the Daily Kos! Seriously, though, if Iran's mullahs were backing your candidate, wouldn't that cause you to think twice?

George McGovern, RIP
Posted: 21 Oct 2012 10:23 AM PDT
(Steven Hayward)
Everyone who knew George McGovern will tell you-I heard this first from George Will many years ago-that McGovern was one of the most gentle, decent persons you'd ever encounter in American politics. "He comes on like Muzak," James Jackson Kilpatrick wrote of him, "which descendeth like the gentle dew." But McGovern's name will always be associated, rightly, with the extreme leftward lurch of the Democratic Party.
He said some truly stupid things over the years, such as his carelessly chosen words in a Playboy interview implying that Ho Chi Minh could rightly be compared to George Washington, or his blaming the Cold War chiefly on the United States and the West, writing in his autobiography that "Without excusing the aggressive behavior of the Soviets in Eastern Europe after 1945, I have always believed that we not only overreacted to it but indeed helped to trigger it by our own post-World War II fears." He added that "The challenge to the free world from Communism is no longer relevant," and "I don't like Communism, but I don't think we have any great obligation to save the world from it." While Nixon and other Republicans wore American flag lapel pins, the McGovernites found appeals to patriotism repellent, and wore the flag-if at all-upside down. Theodore White observed that "At McGovern headquarters, the word itself, 'patriotism,' was a code word for intolerance, war, deception. . . and phrases like 'peace with honor' actually did make them gag." McGovern's big spending domestic policy ideas were just as bad. "This man's ideas aren't liberal," huffed union stalwart (and faithful Democrat-backer) George Meany of the AFL-CIO; "This man's ideas are crazy." It was the first time the AFL-CIO sat out a fall campaign.
But was McGovern really a McGovernite?
While the 1972 convention did for Democrats what the 1964 convention did for Republicans, there are some good reasons to exempt McGovern from all the charges. It was McGovern's misfortune that he could not control the "Movement" he rode to the nomination. With a few notable exceptions, McGovern caved in to the demands of many of the liberal interest groups he used on the road to the nomination, acquiring along the way a number of positions that would haunt him in the general election campaign. While he held typical naïve liberal sentimentalist views, this former World War II bomber pilot (and winner of the Distinguished Flying Cross) was no purebread pacifist. "I am not a pacifist," he would protest late in the campaign; "It's a dangerous world, and some people only understand force." Let us also remember McGovern's post-political career, where his experience as a failed entrepreneur led him to criticize many of the regulations he had supported in office.
The paradox of the 1972 McGovern campaign, Theodore White observed, was that it became impossible to tell whether McGovern was the creation of his movement, or its creator. "We were always subject to this pressure from the cause people," McGovern's campaign manager Frank Mankiewicz told White after the election. "If I had it to do all over again, I'd learn when to tell them to go to hell." McGovern himself later protested that he was not a McGovernite, and admitted that when he opened the party's doors (through the quota-based delegate rules changes he promulgated after the 1968 convention), 20 million Democrats walked out.
McGovern with his first pro-life running mate
McGovern was unable to counter the image that Republican Senator Hugh Scott indelibly attached to him as "the candidate of acid, amnesty, and abortion." But on the last issue-abortion-we can see how radical the Democratic Party has become since. McGovern's position at the beginning of the campaign was that abortion was a matter that should be left to state legislatures (which is the default Republican position today), and although he resisted attempts at including a pro-abortion plank in the Democratic platform in 1972, he gradually conceded to the pro-abortion views of insurgent feminists. (Muskie and Humphrey, it is worth adding, both opposed abortion. "I am not for it," said Humphrey. "It compromises the sanctity of life," said Muskie. The Rev. Jesse Jackson had an even tougher opinion at that time, describing abortion "as too nice a word for something cold, like murder.") While McGovern conceded under pressure from feminists, he wouldn't embrace abortion-on-demand. There must be regulating legislation, McGovern thought: "You can't just let anybody walk in and request an abortion."
McGovern with his second pro-life running mate
And that Miami convention!! Here's a few excerpts from my chapter about 1972 from volume 1 of The Age of Reagan:
"The 1972 Democratic convention," sociologist Lewis Feuer wrote, "was the first in American history that could be called the 'Convention of the Intellectuals.' Miami saw the transformation of the Democratic into the Intellectuals' Party." There were no farmers in the Iowa delegation, only a handful of Poles or Italians in the Illinois delegation, no elected official among the Virginia delegation, while nine members of the New York delegation were associated with a gay rights group. Two welfare mothers were on the Washington DC delegation, and two Native Americans (the media still called them "Indians") anointed the delegation from McGovern's home state of South Dakota. Tip O'Neill quipped that the Massachusetts delegation "looked like the cast of 'Hair.'" (O'Neill skipped the convention.) California's delegation included actress Shirley MacLaine, who remarked that her delegation "looked like a couple of high schools, a grape boycott, a Black Panther rally, and four or five politicians who walked in the wrong door." She meant it as a compliment. One old time Democrat remarked that the key decisions were still made in smoke-filled rooms, "only the smoke smelled different." The Village Voice ratified this observation: "There was enough grass to satisfy Man O'War." . . But in the year of the runaway convention, "open politics" required that other candidates, or their enthusiasts, receive equal time to plead their case directly to the convention floor. Feminists demanded that a woman's name be placed in nomination, and every nutball constituency and street theater artist got into the act. Among the names placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency were Ralph Nader, Cesar Chavez, Jerry Rubin, Benjamin Spock, Mao Tse-Tung, and even Archie Bunker. By the time the circus was put down, it was nearly 3 a.m. Fewer than 4 million households were still tuned in at that hour to hear McGovern's acceptance speech, in which he unveiled his signature theme, "Come home America." It was prime time only in Guam, and past deadline for most of the morning papers. One American who stayed up late to hear McGovern's speech was Nixon, who shook his head in amazement at the incompetence the spectacle revealed. Nixon remarked that the "scene had the air of a college skit that had gotten carried away with itself and didn't know how to stop." The fevers of the convention floor found expression in the 26,000-word platform the convention produced. Joyce Milton described the 1972 platform as "a liberation movement wish list," while A. James Reichley argued that it signified that "The Democrats have now chosen to be the party of discontent. Farewell forever to Hubert Humphrey and the politics of joy!" "We are not sure if the values we have lived by for generations have any meaning left," said the introduction. One thing the 1972 Democrats did believe in, however, was rights-lots of them. "The Democratic Party in 1972 is committed to resuming the march toward equality," which entailed enumerating the claims and demands that various constituencies called "rights." Included were "The right to be different, to maintain a cultural or ethnic heritage or lifestyle, without being forced into a compelled homogeneity. . . The rights of people who lack rights: Children, the mentally retarded, mentally ill and prisoners, to name some . . . [and] the development of new rights of two kinds: Rights to the service itself and rights to participate in the delivery process." The platform also called for quotas and the expansion of bilingual education.
Oh, while we're revisiting old liberal greatest hits from the 1970s in the midst of the supposed "war on women" today, how about McGovern campaign manager Gary Hart's explanation that year of why there weren't more women in top campaign positions: "Women don't have the experience or ability to organize. . . Do you lower your standards in the midst of a campaign like in the midst of brain surgery and try to equalize social ills?" Give that man an Al Campanis Award! (You can supply your own Gary Hart jokes.) Doesn't seem like much has changed the eyes of liberals, as can be seen by the "Life of Julia" understanding of what it means to be a woman in America today.

Ron Bailey on Science Fraud (Video)
Posted: 21 Oct 2012 08:54 AM PDT
(Steven Hayward)
The second half of my recent conversation with Reason magazine science and technology writer Ron Bailey concerns the epidemic of fraud and false results in scientific studies. Scientific fraud, Nature magazine reported recently, has increased tenfold over the last decade. There's even a Retraction Watch blog that tracks the problem. The problem, as Ron explains in this three-minute video with me, is even worse than just chasing after grant money.
UPDATE: Bailey discusses this problem at more length, and links to the study of non-replicable cancer studies, in this column.

Benghazi, cont'd
Posted: 20 Oct 2012 12:05 PM PDT
(Scott Johnson)
I'm trying to keep up with the stories that add to the analysis of what transpired in Benghazi on September 11 and thereafter in the Obama administration. Here is today's round-up.
Sharyl Atkisson of CBS News examines our military's ability lend assistance during the attack (video below). Her story is "Could U.S. military have helped during attack." The New York Post has a related report.
Hannah Allam and Jonathan Landay chart the changing administration narrative in "U.S. description of Benghazi attacks, at first cautious, changed after 3 days." On the same subject, below is a video of the Fox News report "Tracking the administration's changing narrative on Benghazi."
Also necessary are Tom Joscelyn's "Spinning Benghazi" and Steve Hayes's "W.H. tries to write Al Qaeda out of Libya story" as well as James Rosen's Fox News report "Documents show Stevens worried about Libya security threats, Al Qaeda before consulate attack" and Rosen's excellent Wall Street Journal column "The three Benghazi timelines we need answers about."
UPDATE: Among other stories to the same effect out today, see also the Telegraph's s "Benghazi attack: CIA reported 'within 24 hours' Islamist militants to blame."

"The Obama Plan"
Posted: 20 Oct 2012 11:29 AM PDT
(John Hinderaker)
Barack Obama's sinking campaign continues to flail. Now it's "binders" and "Romnesia." Whatever. Obama has two fundamental problems: 1) his record is terrible, and 2) as more and more voters have figured out, he has no positive agenda for a second term. So in the last days of the campaign, Mitt Romney has unleashed a series of great ads that pound away on the fundamentals. This one is called "The Obama Plan." What will happen if Obama gets a second term?

The Weekly Winston: Obamanomics Edition

There is a surfeit of Churchillisms that can be brought to bear on Obama's claim that he supports free enterprise-so much so that he just had to bail out the auto companies and throw billions at unprofitable green energy startups. As Milton Friedman liked to say, the capitalist system is a profit and loss system. The losses are just as important as the profits, as they discipline resource allocation. Bailing out losing firms-a cornerstone of modern loser liberalism-assures us of mediocre economic growth. From among the Churchill treasure trove, we'll settle for just this one today, from a 1947 speech:
When losses are made, under the present system these losses are borne by the individuals who sustained them and took the risk and judged things wrongly, whereas under State management all losses are quartered upon the taxpayers and the community as a whole. The elimination of the profit motive and of self-interest as a practical guide in the myriad transactions of daily life will restrict, paralyze and destroy British ingenuity, thrift, contrivance and good housekeeping at every stage in our life and production, and will reduce all our industries from a profit-making to a loss-making process.

Regulators Gone Wild
Posted: 20 Oct 2012 08:27 AM PDT
(Steven Hayward)
I'm not always a fan of the Libertarian Party, but this poster nails it about the frivolousness of the populist, Occupy Wall Street Left:
Which brings me to today's tales of regulatory stupidity and perverse results. Liberals everywhere love regulation to protect consumers from harm, right? But slow-learning liberals (with a few notable exceptions) never seem to notice how regulations often become anti-competitive barriers to new competition, protecting lazy incumbent industries from innovators and upstarts.
My favorite example right now is Ubercars, the smart-phone app that summons you a pre-vetted, clean nearby limo within five minutes. So guess what the taxicab companies are doing? Running to regulators and the city councils in the places where Uber has opened for business and demanding that Uber be shut down. You just can't go offering consumers choices, you know, like premium car service. A few liberals, like Matt Yglesias at Slate, get it, but generally you can hear the crickets chirping from the usual goo-goo "consumer advocates."
And then there's Minnesota. Right now the newest thing in higher education is the unfolding of online education. I have a keen interest in this, as I'm teaching a section of my Ashbrook Center master's degree course on American political economy online on Wednesday afternoons for the next eight weeks. (I've also posted a couple of short YouTube mini-lectures as supplements to class: here's a 5-minute video with a few observations on the income tax. We're likely to expand this whole effort at the Ashbrook Center over time.) The big player in this field is Coursera, which is offering online courses from some of the nation's leading universities, including Stanford and MIT. In some cases, you can pay a small fee, take exams, and earn a certificate. Coursera's mission is described thusly:
We hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.
This is not merely the future of education, but offers access to high quality instructional material potentially to millions of people who otherwise wouldn't have it. It represents a great democratizing force.
So what does Minnesota do? Naturally Coursera has to be stopped. Earlier this week it tried to prohibit online courses in Minnesota. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Thursday:
Coursera offers free, online courses to people around the world, but if you live in Minnesota, company officials are urging you to log off or head for the border.
The state's Office of Higher Education has informed the popular provider of massive open online courses, or MOOC's, that Coursera is unwelcome in the state because it never got permission to operate there. It's unclear how the law could be enforced when the content is freely available on the Web, but Coursera updated its Terms of Service to include the following caution:
Notice for Minnesota Users:
Coursera has been informed by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education that under Minnesota Statutes (136A.61 to 136A.71), a university cannot offer online courses to Minnesota residents unless the university has received authorization from the State of Minnesota to do so. If you are a resident of Minnesota, you agree that either (1) you will not take courses on Coursera, or (2) for each class that you take, the majority of work you do for the class will be done from outside the State of Minnesota.
I'm pleased to report that this idiocy lasted less than 24 hours. Yesterday Minnesota's Office of Higher Education backed down, though it is too late to unwind their total beclowning. (I like Katherine Mangu-Ward's headline over at Reason.com: "Minnesota Decides Not to Suck After All.") Like Ubercars, the bureaucrats were working to protect incumbent universities (especially their lazy assistant professors of sociology and such) from competition, as well as their own phoney-baloney jobs, to borrow the great (and accurate) description of Mel Brooks.

Debate notes: The unreal Obama
Posted: 20 Oct 2012 07:09 AM PDT
(Scott Johnson)
In the presidential candidates debate at Hofstra this past Tuesday, Obama took advantage of his opportunity to get in the final words to unveil this whopper:
I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world's ever known. I believe in self-reliance and individual initiative and risk takers being rewarded.
Cue the Danny Thomas double take and spew your coffee (or beer or vodka) all over the living room floor. If you've been asleep for the past four years, this might have been highly persuasive. David Harsanyi offers this - somewhat skeptical - response:
I have no doubt that Obama believes he believes in free enterprise - except in the case of health care policy, the auto industry, the housing market, education, banking, job creation, manufacturing, green energy and so on and so forth.
Basically, the genius of free enterprise must never be applied to anything that's too important in our lives. When it is, naturally, it must be applied "fairly."
But it's fair to say that undecideds - as is their nature - may have been confused. After all, someone who deems the free enterprise system the greatest engine of prosperity ever in the galaxy typically wouldn't spend four years arguing that job creation springs from government spending. And granted, not many true believers of capitalism - our president excluded - denigrate profit motives and wealth with such elan.
If you believed the free enterprise system is the mechanism of great prosperity, your crowning achievement might not be legislation that constricts competition in health care, layers it generously with regulations, institutes effective price controls, coerces participation and sets up a government board to mete out advice on rationing.
Put it this way: Folks who admire free enterprise seldom spend two months bashing private equity to kick off a re-election campaign for president.
Those who believe that free enterprise is the gold standard of economic policy may even support allowing our failing education system to participate so that parents and kids can enjoy some choice and competition. A free market enthusiast might not nationalize all student loans.
One suspects that a real fan of free enterprise wouldn't refer to a little competition in Medicare as "radical," and he probably wouldn't consider a plan that allows Americans a small choice of how to invest their Social Security dollars (a choice that might bring them back more than that 1 percent return on the dollar) extreme.
Folks who believe that the free enterprise system is tops might argue that poorly run, out-of-touch companies should fail so other, healthier companies can move in and create self-sustaining jobs. They would also probably avoid scaremongering about "outsourcing," because doing so often helps create better-paying and more productive jobs here in America. (Though, in fairness, the president's certainly not alone on this one.)
If you trust that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity, you understand that one person's wealth and success don't deprive anyone of his own.
Merriam-Webster defines "free enterprise" as "freedom of private business to organize and operate for profit in a competitive system without interference by government beyond regulation necessary to protect public interest and keep the national economy in balance." If Obama believes that he's instituted and supported economic policy that comports with that description, he's more confused than the average town hall participant.
He doesn't believe it, of course, but he's willing to say just about anything.

SO THAT MUSLIMS RUN THE WORLD You may have heard about the Muslim bomb plot against the Federal Reserve. But here's his true motive, which the media is refusing to cover. The Federal affidavit states that Nafis wanted to carry out a major terrorist attack to "make one step ahead, for the Muslims... that will make us one step closer to run the whole world".
Nafis believed that, "Targeting America's economy is most efficient way to draw the path of obliteration of America as well as the path of establishment of Khilipha (Caliphate.)" ETHICS, WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING ETHICS This is from the Memorandum of Understanding governing the Town Hall debate.
The moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate or otherwise intervene in the debate except to acknowledge the questioners from the audiences or enforce the time limits, and invite candidate comments during the 2 minute response period.

We Can't Afford Four More Years
October 19, 2012
"There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily." --George Washington
On Tuesday night, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney squared off in the second of their three debates. It was "town hall" style with the audience asking questions pre-selected by moderator Candy Crowley of CNN. As expected, Obama came out swinging to shake off his flat-footed performance in the first debate. Obviously, he concluded that he had been "too polite." Fortunately, he didn't reach the depths of bad behavior that Joe Biden did in the vice presidential debate.
We have covered previous debates as point-by-point as possible in a short space, but this go-around, we want to focus on two areas: Fiscal policy and energy.
Mitt Romney laid out the Obama record: "We have fewer people working today than we had when the president took office. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when he took office; it's 7.8 percent now. But if you calculated that unemployment rate, taking back the people who dropped out of the workforce, it would be 10.7 percent [today]." He later added, "I look at what's happened in the last four years and say this has been a disappointment. We can do better than this. We don't have to settle for ... 43 months with unemployment above 8 percent, 23 million Americans struggling to find a good job right now. There are 3.5 million more women living in poverty today than when the president took office. We don't have to live like this. We can get this economy going again."
In short, Obama made promises he didn't keep.

Why We Aren't Producing Enough Domestic Energy
President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney had a heated exchange about energy in the most recent debate. The President repeated his refrain that oil and gas production is the highest it has been in eight years, but Romney was right to point out that this was driven by production on private and state lands.
The vast majority of America's new oil and gas production is happening on private lands in states like North Dakota, Alaska and Texas. The environmental review and permitting process on federal lands, however, is burdensome and keeps resources untapped.
As Heritage's Michael Sandoval has reported:
...oil production on federal lands has decreased between fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 by 11 percent. Natural gas production has decreased by 6 percent in the same one-year span. It is down nearly 27 percent from fiscal 2009. Meanwhile, oil and gas production have increased by 14 percent and 12 percent, respectively, on private and state-owned land.
How did North Dakota pass Alaska and California to become the second-largest producer of domestic crude oil? Answer:sensible state regulations, advancements in technology, and the ability to drill on private lands.
In addition to the much-heralded energy security that domestic energy could bring, these efforts produce jobs. North Dakota's boom has put people to work. The state has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, at just 3 percent.

In contrast, regions where energy production has been restrained have suffered. Heritage energy expert Nicolas Loris explained the effects of halting drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere:
The official moratorium and de facto moratorium as a result of a molasses-like permitting process reduced planned capital and operating investments by $18.3 billion and cost the Gulf more than 162,000 jobs in just the past two years. Federal production in the West has experienced a similar fate: The Administration's delays on permitting oil and gas projects public lands are preventing economic activity. In Utah and Wyoming, for instance, projects held up by the National Environmental Policy Act process are preventing the creation 64,805 jobs, $4.3 billion in wages, and $14.9 billion in economic impact every year.
The most recent battle is taking place over uranium mining. The federal government banned uranium mining on more than 1 million acres of federal land in Arizona. Virginia lawmakers are considering doing the same in their own state, but the land in question is privately owned. That means the state legislature, not federal bureaucrats, will decide whether the mining moves forward.
In a new paper, Heritage's Jack Spencer and Katie Tubb reveal that "studies show that the net economic benefit of construction and operations will yield almost $5 billion for Virginians over the life of the mine-around 35 years." The site is "the nation's largest known deposit of uranium, and the seventh largest in the world. At current uranium prices, the deposit is valued at approximately $6 billion and is enough to fuel each of America's 104 nuclear reactors for two years."
Spencer and Tubb note that it isn't the state legislature's responsibility to decide whether mining is a good idea: "The job of the Assembly should not be to ban or promote mining, but rather to set strong regulations that protect public health and safety. Then, given those regulations, private investors can determine whether the mining is worth pursuing."
While the federal government makes energy production difficult or impossible on federal lands-as it has done under the Obama Administration-private lands can provide much-needed energy resources and economic revitalization. All government needs to do is get out of the way.

Pope To Canonize First U.S. Native American Saint
NewsMax.com
Jake Finkbonner was so close to death after flesh-eating bacteria infected him through a cut on his lip that his parents had last rites performed and were discussing donating the 5-year-old's tiny organs. Jake's 2006 cure from the infection was deemed medically inexplicable by the Vatican, the "miracle" needed to propel a 17th century Native American, Kateri Tekakwitha, on to sainthood. Kateri will be canonized on Sunday along with six other people, the first Native American from what is now the U.S. to receive the honor.

Media conveniently ignoring latest foiled NYC terror plot
You'd think a radical Islamic extremist caught trying to detonate a 1,000 lb bomb at New York City's Federal Reserve building in hopes of killing as many people possible in a half mile radius would be bigger news.

Aw, cute: Obama's civilian army (FEMACorps) just graduated its first class
Remember when Barack Obama asked for a civilian defence force "as strong and well funded as the U.S. military"? Well, here's President Obama's first graduating class of FEMACorps workers.

Nothing like a little brownshirt army to have at your beck-and-call. Glenn has more on radio today.

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz described the Medicare reforms proposed by GOP Vice-Presidential nominee and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) as "literally a death trap for seniors." White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that Ryan's reforms would "change Medicare as we know it."
But it was Obamacare that already changed Medicare as we know it, transforming it literally into a death trap for seniors. Obamacare cut Medicare by $716 billion over the next 10 years alone, mostly by slashing Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals. And that is just a down-payment on what is to come.
