Don't give up the fight for the soul of our country. Remember who we're fighting for!
Ann Coulter is spot on in this one. This: "With all the smirking on the left about their electoral victories, it's important to remember that Democrats haven't won the hearts and minds of the American people. They changed the people. If you pour vinegar into a bottle of wine, the wine didn't turn, you poured vinegar into it. Similarly, liberals changed no minds. They added millions of new liberal voters through immigration." And this: "I'm sure they're lovely, but I wanted to live in America. Now I can't. At the current rate of immigration, it won't exist anymore. The Democrats couldn't win elections there, so they changed it." Did I Move?
It's a press release, but I am collecting all the information that I can on Krysten Sinema, Representative from CD9. "ObamaCare is cutting Medicare Advantage by $156 billion over the next 10 years. And who can they thank for gutting this vital program? None other than Kyrsten Sinema. Many seniors will soon see that the plans and doctors they have come to know and like will suddenly become unavailable. Sinema should tell Arizona seniors why she insists on raiding Medicare Advantage to pay for her failed law." With Cuts to Medicare Advantage Coming, What Will Kyrsten Sinema Say to Seniors?
He needs to be voted out. "Huckstering Superintendent Huppenthal, a public education insider now on the campaign trail seeking reelection, obviously knows what countless parents suspect. Why else would he angle to deceive them with a swift name change for this radical curriculum? In an instant, colluding with Gov. Jan Brewer to pull off the sleight-of-hand scam, "Common Core" magically morphed into "Arizona College and Career Ready Standards." Huppenthal urging parents to remove kids from Common Core?
Can our country survive under another three years of this tyrannical rule? "There are really only three relevant questions here: (1) has Obama committed impeachable offenses, (2) would impeachment proceedings (which would certainly fail to remove Obama) hurt the country, and (3) how would his impeachment play out politically. The third question is relevant because Republicans have no obligation to further weaken their position in a futile attempt to drive Obama from office through the impeachment process." Impeach President Obama?
Class warfare at the NY Times. "Why do the reporters hate the editorial page? Let's count the ways: 1) The editorial page editor, Andrew Rosenthal, is arrogant, petty and vindictive. 2) The news room has suffered deep cuts, while the editorial page is lavishly staffed, and yet turns out a lousy product. 3) The poor quality of the paper's editorials is embarrassing: "they're completely reflexively liberal, utterly predictable, usually poorly written and totally ineffectual." Well, they aren't totally without value. We have fun laughing at them." Even the New York Times Hates the New York Times!
Keep your ears open. There's a lot going on and we have to help explain it to those who aren't paying attention.
Drip, drip, drip. "Former CIA Director Mike Morell may have altered the Benghazi talking points to benefit the Obama administration during the 2012 election, Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports." Herridge: Fmr. CIA Director Morell May Have Altered Benghazi Talking Points to Benefit Obama Admin.
This: "Two phenomena: anti-Semitism and American class conflict. Is there any connection between them? In a letter to this newspaper, the noted venture capitalist Tom Perkins called attention to certain parallels, as he saw them, between Nazi Germany's war against the Jews and American progressives' war on the "one percent." For comparing two such historically disparate societies, Mr. Perkins was promptly and heatedly denounced. But is there something to be said for his comparison—not of Germany and the United States, of course, but of the politics at work in the two situations? The place to begin is at the starting point: with the rise of anti-Semitism, modernity's most successful and least understood political movement." And this: Herein lies a deeper structural connection. On the global front today, the much larger and more obvious beneficiary of those same blessings is the democratic capitalist system of the United States, and the ultimate target of the ultimate negative campaign is the American people. Anyone seeking to understand the inner workings of such a campaign will find much food for thought in Mr. Perkins's parallel." Ruth Wisse: The Dark Side of the War on 'the One Percent:' Stoking class envy is a step in a familiar, dangerous and highly incendiary process.
Weak. "Whether all these incidents are minor or serious, and whether they are random or interconnected and perceived as proof of the loss of U.S. deterrence, depends on which particular bad actor is studying them to try to guess whether the Obama administration will do anything should a provocateur start a war or attempt to redraw a regional map. In short, our Icarus-in-Chief, without much foreign-policy experience but with youthful zeal and good intentions, soared far too high for his flimsy waxen wings. Now they are melting, and as the American commander-in-chief careens back to earth, lots of those below are wondering what will come next. Still, there is a lot of irony as Obama freefalls to earth." Our Icarus-in-Chief: Obama's global fantasies are falling to earth along with him.
"There is much to like in their proposal. It would extend tax credits to help all Americans purchase insurance, getting around the tax code's previous bias towards those who receive insurance through their employer. It would ensure the widespread availability of bare-bones catastrophic coverage without resorting to Obamacare's individual mandate. It takes important steps towards reforming Medicaid and providing coverage for those with medical conditions. And it has laudable goals for deregulating health markets and empowering consumers to make health choices based on cost and quality, a development that would drive health care costs downward. The proposal isn't perfect. It maintains Obamacare's provision allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26, for instance, an unnecessary exercise in infantilizing young Americans. Nor does it make any serious efforts to address Medicare, a program that will require reform sooner rather than later. That said, the plan still represents an important step forward: articulating an alternative to health care policy that empowers individual consumers rather than government. That's precisely the necessary direction as the nation attempts to dig out from the wreckage of Obamacare, a law that deserves to be discarded at the first possible opportunity." After Obamacare, what?
Forgotten, meaningless words. "There was one other area Obama talked about in Peoria 259 weeks ago: fiscal restraint. It almost seems ludicrous now after his four straight years of trillion-dollar-plus deficits and another contentious debate looming this month over raising the national debt limit yet again, well above the current fiscal hole that's $17 trillion deep. "We've got to get serious about starting to live within our means," said Democrat Barack Obama. No, really. He said that. You can see on the C-SPAN video below. "Instead of leaving debt for our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren," said the Great Spender, who's created more debt than any other modern-day president. "That's not the responsible way. That's not how folks here in Peoria operate in their own lives, and they should expect the government is equally responsible." Unfortunately, Americans have come to expect so much less from this man and his government." Five years of Obama promises: What's changed?
It's "National Carrot Cake" Day. Yummmm.
"The reason this will backfire is that imperial presidencies only impress the loyal base of the President's party, who mistake autocracy for wisdom. They tend to worry and frighten everyone else, especially when the result is the unmistakable incompetence of this administration on both domestic and foreign policy. Expect the backlash on all of these points this year." Will Obama's pursuit of executive power backfire?
As we suspected. "Most of my co-workers found humor in the I.O. room on a cruder level. Just as the long-suffering American public waiting on those security lines suspected, jokes about the passengers ran rampant among my TSA colleagues: Many of the images we gawked at were of overweight people, their every fold and dimple on full awful display. Piercings of every kind were visible. Women who'd had mastectomies were easy to discern—their chests showed up on our screens as dull, pixelated regions. Hernias appeared as bulging, blistery growths in the crotch area. Passengers were often caught off-guard by the X-Ray scan and so materialized on-screen in ridiculous, blurred poses—mouths agape, à la Edvard Munch. One of us in the I.O. room would occasionally identify a passenger as female, only to have the officers out on the checkpoint floor radio back that it was actually a man. All the old, crass stereotypes about race and genitalia size thrived on our secure government radio channels." Former insider says they're on the lookout for hot women and hassling people.
Nothing will happen. Our country men and women have been too anesthetized. "In constitutional republics, noble lies are problematic at the best of times. But when the rulers, the guards, and the rest of the city all know that the lie is a lie, the endeavor becomes mere harlequinade — and, at 8 billion dollars a year, improvident, too. A better question, perhaps, is this: "who will fire the guards"?" It Ought to Be Curtains for the TSA: The agency is designed to do nothing except gawk, and now we all know it.
"Obama's SOTU speech was emblematic of the Texas saying (coined, no doubt, for LBJ), all hat and no cattle. Every word – well, maybe not every word because AFA couldn't watch it all the way through – was pure PR, trying to resurrect tired ideas that never could work. Ridiculous progressive rhetoric squared! One of the more preposterous of many proposals was his all new, bright and shiny MyRA plan. This is designed to be IRAs for Dummies but aimed at those making $19K a year and under. Of course, no mention of the fact that these people have the same access to standard IRAs and ROTH IRAs as anyone else, so it doesn't take a genius to figure out what this is really about. But, guessing that people in this income range have little, if any, income to save after the bills are paid. MyRAs are designed to invest ONLY in US Treasury Bonds. Yeah, that's a great idea! Let's invest in a country that keeps running up debt they can't pay. This is extortion of the highest order. It puts the burden on companies to sign on to this scam, eh, scheme, to help Uncle Fingers to create yet more debt. Those bonds are being sold to foreign interests in return for a piece of America!" Obama's Newest Scheme to Rob the POOR!
