Obama Releases Statement On Abortion Doctor Killing, Is This A Political Opportunity?

Remember the "possiblity of common ground" on abortion at Obama's Notre Dame Commencement Speech?

Statement from President Obama
The White House issued a statement Sunday evening from President Obama on the murder of George Tiller. Here's what the president said:

"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."

We'll see if the Administration blames anyone outside of the person who committed this act, I like everybody else think this will be an opportunity to demonize the right wing...

Obama said at his commencement address at Notre Dame on Abortion:
"When we open up our hearts and our minds to those who may not think precisely like we do or believe precisely what we believe -- that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground."

However, this President just 48 hours after taking office, struck down by executive order, a ban on international family planning clinics that promote abortion,
He voting against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act,

And having shown their hand in the April 7th Memo from DHS, today's incident may be a political opportunity for the Administration...

Department of Homeland Security Assessment on Rightwing Extremism, April 7th

(U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.

It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

Late Term Abortion Doctor George Tiller Shot Dead

This under the the Daily Kos Headline, "The GOP base looks more like the Taliban"
"GOP must be proud of the killer"

Get ready, anyone on the Pro-Life side will share the blame...

The media will collectively point it's finger and blame everyone that believes that abortion is the taking of a human life, the 99.99% of us that believe in non violent protest will be willing accomplices to the man that commited this act...

They tried to blame talk radio for the Oklahoma City Bombing, they will do the same with the murder of this abortion doctor.... Here's just the first couple comments on the youtube video

WICHITA, Kan. — DEVELOPING: Media reports say that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church.
Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortion. His clinic has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades.

Tiller, 67, was shot just after 10 a.m. at Reformation Lutheran Church at 7601 E. 13th, where he was a member of the congregation. Homicide detectives and Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston have arrived at the church, the Wichita Eagle reports.

Members of the congregation who were inside the sanctuary at the time of the shooting were being kept inside the church by police, and those arriving were being ushered into the parking lot. Witnesses are being transported downtown for interviews and other members of the congregation are slowly being released from inside the sanctuary, the newspaper reports.

Tiller's clinic was severely vandalized earlier this month. According to The Associated Press, his lawyer said wires to security cameras and outdoor lights were cut and that the vandals also cut through the roof and plugged the buildings' downspouts. Rain poured through the roof and caused thousands of dollars of damage in the clinic. Tiller reportedly asked the FBI to investigate the incident.

Getting Ready? Israel Stages Biggest Ever War Drill

Will go it alone if they have to...

An Israeli poll released this month found that 74 percent believe that the U.S. policy of engagement with Iran will fail.

cnn

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israel started its biggest emergency drill in the nation's history Sunday to prepare civilians, soldiers and rescue crews for the possibility of war, the defense force said in a statement.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has expressed skepticism that Iran can be persuaded to abandon its nuclear ambitions. The five-day drill, nicknamed Turning Point 3, comes amid the nation's rising tensions with Iran.

Officials said the drill will include simulated rockets, air raids and other attacks on infrastructure and essential facilities, and use of weapons on civilians.
Everyone is expected to go to a protected place at the sound of sirens, the defense force said, adding that more instructions will be broadcast on a public channel.

The move comes amid tension between Israel and Tehran.
The Israeli government considers Iran's nuclear program as the dominant threat facing the country. Israel is publicly supportive of President Barack Obama administration's outreach to the Islamic state.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Israeli Army Radio last week that he believes "that the chance the dialogue has of stopping Iran's nuclear efforts is very low."

An Israeli poll released this month found that 74 percent believe that the U.S. policy of engagement with Iran will fail and 81 percent think Iran will develop a nuclear weapon capability
Israel has conducted emergency drills the past two years, but officials said this is the biggest so far.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The rising price of gasoline is putting pressure on cash-strapped motorists and throwing barricades into the path of a speedy economic recovery..

The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas edged up to $2.488 on Saturday, from $2.467 the day before, according to motorist group AAA.
That marks the 32nd consecutive increase. In that one-month period, the average price of gas jumped more than 20%.

That surge is causing concern for drivers as the summer driving season gets underway.

Oklahoma State Troopers Try To Arrest EMT In Ambulance On Way To Hospital

Beyond Belief... this is what can happen if you fail to yield..

Being choked is a 26 year veteran Paramedic

newson6.com and more from news9
The fight happened during an emergency call when a patient waiting to be taken to the local hospital was in the back of the ambulance. Officials say OHP troopers became upset after the paramedic failed to yield while the troopers were rushing to a call of their own.

The troopers claim the paramedic assaulted one of them before the camera started rolling.
The video was shot by the patient's son. He says he continually asked the troopers to stop, so his mom could be taken to the hospital.

"We're like telling this dude. 'Man, my mom is in the back.' My step-dad was like 'man my wife is in the back, can we do this at the hospital,'" said Kenyada Davis.
The patient was finally taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol won't comment on the video while it's being reviewed by Okfuskee County prosecutors.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates Warns Pyongyang To Consider Options

Warning To North Korea: Keep it up and nothing will happen...

If were not gonna go through with a missile defense shield in Poland, then we're not gonna take any action against North Korea except go back to the U.N. for another meaningless resolution.

If Team U.S.A cannot play defense, what makes anyone think we will play offense?


washingtontimes

SINGAPORE Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates Saturday told North Korea's leadership that it must choose between deepening the country's pariah status and joining the international community and he vowed to defend the United States and its allies against nuclear and missile threats from the belligerent yet impoverished state.

"The choice to continue as a destitute, international pariah, or chart a new course, is North Korea's alone to make," Mr. Gates told a security conference here. "The world is waiting." The language was some of the strongest used by U.S. officials since North Korea carried out its second test of a nuclear device on Monday.

Mr. Gates stopped short of calling the situation a crisis. But the U.S. has put its 28,000 troops in South Korea on high alert in response to the North Korean actions, which have included firing off a half dozen short-range missiles and making apparent preparations to test another long-range missile.

Here are some specific dates when North Korea will possibly be dealt with :

January 20, 2013 12:00p.m. (if President Obama loses reelection)

January 20, 2017 12:00p.m. (when a new President takes over at the end of Obama's 2nd term)

Obama Weekly Address-Sotomayor's Opponents Are "Pulling Comments Out Of Context"

The President must be a little concerned about her nomination, responding to her comments on the NBC Nightly News and the Weekly Address here devoted entirely to selling Sotomayor..

"There are some in Washington attempting to draw old battle lines, playing the usual political games, pulling a few comments out of context to paint a distorted picture of Sotomayor's record"

"But I'm confident that these efforts will fail, becuase judge Sotomayor's 17 year record on the bench, hundreds of judicial decisions that every American can read for him or herself, speak far louder than any attack"

Obama say she was originally nominated to the U.S. District Court by George H.W. Bush. He knows this is not true, It was Daniel Patrick Moynihan that recommended Sotomayor.. Orrin Hatch who was there at the time explains here.."Bush had no choice but to appoint her," at 2:00 Hatch explains in detail...

Anti War Nuts Come Out In Toronto For Bush And Clinton Debate

This, outside of the Toronto Convention Center...
Compare this to how we were treated for just saying we want Obama to fail...

Where's CNNs Susan Roesgen? Wouldn't they want to send her to Toronto so she can interview the Protesters?

I wonder if these same people could quote how many people Saddam killed in almost 100 mass graves uncovered in Iraq during the war.

Do they have anything to say about Ahmadinejad's promise to exterminate Israel? or Medvedev and Putin ruling with an iron fist against their opponents? How 'bout Hugo Chavez crushing decent, retaliating against political opponents and shutting down opposition television stations?

This is the kook anti war fringe left, and they have a home in the Democratic Party...

Obama Defends Sotomayor's Racial Comment On NBC Nightly News

It's just a poor choice of words...

We should demand George Allen be given his Senate seat back, "Macaca" was just a poor choice of words, and he should be given a chance to clarify just like Sonia Sotomayor..

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life-Sonia Sotomayor 2001

Obama said Sotomayor may have wanted to restate her point.
Notice how Brian Williams never challenges Obama but sets the President up to clarify her remarks...
Such softball treatment compelled the Bamster to buy the NBC News crew lunch today..

David Shuster And Tom Tancredo Get Heated On Hardball (Video)

This is how you stand up to gotcha questions...

Tancredo not taking the bait from Shuster on Sotomayor..
It starts to get heated at 2:35

David Shuster calls La Raza the largest hispanic "civil rights" organization in the country, and has Susan Molinari as a guest, who happened to get an award from La Raza. Molinari is a moderate former Republican congresswoman from New York who gave the Keynote at the 1996 convention, however I do not recall one word she said...

David Shuster asks Tancredo is he wants to apologize for saying La Raza is a Latino KKK, Tancredo laughs..

Tancredo turns the tables on Shuster and asks if he wants to take back anything he's said and then blasts moderate Republicans, Molinari laughs...

Here's the video from yesterday of Tancredo on CNN with Rick Sanchez

Tom Delay: "Where Was La Raza When The Democrats Were Trashing Miguel Estrada?"

Tom Delay on CNN

On Sotomayor...
"Obama could not have appointed a more activist judge"

"Where was La Raza when the Democrats were trashing Miguel Estrada, a fantastic human being nominated to the bench and they were just trashing him all over this country, where was La Raza?"

"La Raza was not there because Miguel Estrada was a conservative constuctionist strict judge"

Laura Ingraham With Matt Lauer On The Today Show (Video)

Matt Lauer acts like he's Sotomayor's personal attorney

Matt says does not what Alito said "neutralize the argument"
Lauer and Chuck Todd are nothing more than stenographers for the Obama White House

Is it not amazing how the media will unearth every word that Alito said, and will find out what Thurgood Marshall did 30 years ago to make their case? Do they do this in reverse? Did they go after Barack Obama on what he said years ago and his associations?

The only people that will examine Sotomayor's record will be bloggers and talkradio. The media have no interest in bringing to to the forefront anything in her past.

Matt Lauer must get his Democratic talking points very early in the morning

Bush Speech At The Economic Club In Michigan "Didn't Appreciate Other Presidents Criticizing Him"

Crowd of 2500 breaks attendance record
Bush still wished Obama "all the best"
I wish we could change that...

fox28.com
The Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan. Some 2,500 people, including protesters, greeted former President Bush at Lake Michigan College Thursday night. President Bush created an unprecedented amount of interest and anticipation.

The Economic Club is known for having high profile speakers most recently former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. But the 2,500 people that lined up outside to get seats to see Bush breaks all attendance records as enthusiasm and anticipation increased before his address.

"I've been a fan of George Bush's for many years and I thought it was a nice opportunity to hear what he had to say," said Bush supporter Michael Harmon. "I would hope that he would comment somewhat on the new administration and his views of how it's all going to turnout," said Bush supporter Richard Pfiel.

Recording devices were not allowed inside of the auditorium, but here are some still photos of the president's address. He started by telling a few jokes about being retired and then quickly stated this about current President Barack Obama.

"I am not going to criticize my successor. I wish him all the best."

The president said he did not appreciate when other presidents criticized him so he would only discuss his term in office and the future of the country.

Black Panthers Cleared In Election Day Intimidation Case In Philadelphia

Election Day video at a Philly polling place... Black Panthers with nightsticks in their hands

How about that Justice Department.. By the way, did anyone see this on the nightlynews?

washingtontimes
Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.

The incident - which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube - had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.

Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.

A Justice Department(would that be Eric Holder?) spokesman on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections.
The department was "successful in obtaining an injunction that prohibits the defendant who brandished a weapon outside a Philadelphia polling place from doing so again," spokesman Alejandro Miyar said. "Claims were dismissed against the other defendants based on a careful assessment of the facts and the law. -Washingtontimes

Looks like it might be pretty difficult to win Pennsylvania next time around if you got Black Panthers with nightsticks that weren't charged in one part of the state and ACORN and the DNC machine all over the rest of the state.

Remember, Obama said when he was in San Francisco that he would "bankrupt the coal industry" which is huge in western Pennsylvania, and he called Pennsylvanians "bitter people who cling to guns and religion" and still won the state 54% to McCain's 44%, about 600,000 vote margin of victory...I'm sure voter fraud had nothing to do with it......

O'Reilly Responds To FreeRepublic and Michelle Malkin (Video)

O'Reilly got some e-mails....


It's important not to believe a word he's saying here, Michelle Malkin has been a guest host on O'Reilly, and he knew exactly what he was doing last night, and Amanda Carpenter, the internet expert knows exactly what Hotair and Freerepublic is, since just today it was mentioned by Hannity, and the Fox and Friends host said he goes to the Hotair site in the interview this morning.

Then he again pokes fun at "the rightwing Freerepublic," listen to the way he says "Jim Robinson," it's obvious he has some hatred for stuff he knows nothing about, but Bill has not a clue about Conservative blogging.

Once again the great independent judge standing in the middle of the road with a gavel in his hand is gonna tell the world what is good and what is evil, while respect for this judge goes right out the window.

Harry Reid Called Barbara Bush A B*itch

Harry "the war is lost" Reid takes a shot at the former first lady...
The Weekly Standard Blog reported this from Mark Hemingway's review of Harry Reid's book:
While no one expects Reid to praise George W. Bush, the degree to which he is judgmental and catty regarding the former president pretty much speaks for itself. Three pages in, after lamely trying to establish his bipartisan bona fides by talking up George H. W. Bush, Reid shares this charming anecdote about his early days in the Senate: “[Former Texas senator and vice-presidential candidate Lloyd] Bentsen went on and on effusively about what a quality man President-elect [H. W.] Bush was.

Then he paused and said, ‘But watch out for his wife; she’s a bitch.’ I have never had anything against Mrs. Bush, but guided by Bentsen’s crude advice, I’ve always said that our forty-third president is more his mother than his dad.”

Woman Removed By Secret Service At LAX Wanted To Hand Obama A Letter To "Take A Stand For Traditional Marriage"

Asks the Secret Service to hand Obama the Letter, they said no..

cbs2.com AP
A writer for a small Georgia newspaper, who wanted to give President Barack Obama a letter, was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One on Thursday shortly before he arrived at the airport. She identified herself as Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer in Macon, and said she is a "Roman Catholic priestess" who lives in Anaheim, Calif. She said she has White House press credentials.

The newspaper's Web site said it is a monthly publication; the site has writings posted by Lee. A call to the newspaper was not immediately returned. The incident occurred about 10 minutes before Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport by helicopter to board Air Force One. He had been in Los Angeles to attend a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. Lee said later in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him "to take a stand for traditional marriage."

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter. "I said, 'I'll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,"' Lee said. "He became annoyed that I wouldn't give him the letter."

"I voted against Alberto Gonzales, and I said this on the floor of the Senate, although he seemed to be a capable attorney, he seemed to conceive his roll as being the President's attorney instead of being the people's attorney"


"What you get a sense of is an Attorney General who saw himself as an abler of the Administration, as opposed to somebody that was actually trying to look out for the American people's interests. And for that reason, I think it's time for him to step down"


Did Obama pay a price a year later? Quite the opposite

That would be Obama in blue....

Rasmussen: 87% Believe Soyomayor Will Be Confirmed, 45% Favor Confirmation

Only 43% think she is politically liberal, are you kidding me?

Eighty-seven percent (87%) of voters nationwide believe Judge Sonia Sotomayor will be confirmed as the next U.S. Supreme Court justice. That figure includes 59% who believe her confirmation is Very Likely.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just five percent (5%) say her confirmation by the Senate is unlikely. Forty-five percent (45%) favor confirmation of Sotomayor, who, if approved by the Senate, will be the first Hispanic member of the high court. Twenty-nine percent (29%) oppose her confirmation, and 26% are not sure.
Most Democrats favor confirmation while most Republicans are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 41% favor confirmation, and 29% are opposed. Hispanic voters favor confirmation by a 66% to 15% margin.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of all voters have a favorable opinion of Sotomayor while 36% hold an unfavorable view. Twenty percent (20%) have a Very Favorable opinion while 17% hold a Very Unfavorable view. Forty-eight percent (48%) hold their views less firmly, and 15% are undecided. Once again, the partisan divide is as expected.

Forty-three percent (43%) believe that Sotomayor is politically liberal while 32% view her as a moderate. A plurality of Democrats view the Supreme Court nominee as politically moderate while most Republicans and a plurality of unaffiliateds view her as politically liberal

O'Reilly Smears Freerepublic And Hotair On The Factor (Video)

via hotair


Highly irresponsible report tonight from Bill O'Reilly, pulling out a comment from the thousands that are posted and quoting it, as if the sites of freerepublic or hotair moniters the tens of thousands of comments that come through.

I am on both of these websites every single day and there has been nothing out of bounds, and to equate them with the Dailykos is reprehensible. Here's another example of Bill trying to be the great referee standing in the middle trying to be the point man on all things politics.

By the way the quote that he used from hotair is a laugh, Barack Obama requested that his middle name Hussein be used in his oath of office.

Howard Fineman: Right Wing Speaking To The "White Male Base Of The Republican Party"

Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney

Called the "RNC" by Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman

Fineman going along with the DNC talking points and trying to squelch any opposition to Sonia Sotomayor. All the left wing talking heads are talking about Sotomayors "family story" and her race, however Bush's nominees to the court like Miguel Estrada, Pricilla Owen and Janice Rogers Brown never had the media highlight their great story or their race and gender when they were in the news.

Here is a montage of Democratic talking points fed to the media on Sonia Sotomayor

Karl Rove Takes On James Carville At Debate In NYC

One of the first times Rove has gotten heated

When asked about wanting Bush to fail, Carville quickly turns the debate back to Rush Limbaugh...

Both men won 2 elections for their Presidents, but Rove had every pundit, every talking head, and the entire left wing media in lock step to defeat Bush (especially in 2004) and still won.

Carville and Clinton had the media in their back pocket, and got 43% in '92 and 49% in '96, but don't forget when Clinton ran as who he really was, a liberal trying to swing the country as far left as possible (1992-1994), he lost 54 House seats and 8 Senate seats in 1994...a stat forgotten by all the media trying to rewrite Clinton history..

Bill Clinton attacked George H.W. Bush in 1992 for having the "worst economy in the last 50 years," that was when unemployment was 7.4%.

Lets be honest without Ross Perot getting 20 million votes in 1992, and Lawrence Walsh's indictment of Casper Weinberger on the thursday before the election. Bill Clinton would be a footnote in the history of politics.

Geraldo Rivera Got "Goosebumps" At The Nomination of Sotomayor To The Supreme Court

Goosebumps...

Plans on celebrating by "drinking rum and eating rice and beans"

mediabistro
When Geraldo Rivera heard today that Sonia Sotomayor was the Supreme Court nominee, he saw the light.

Literally.The Fox News host was so excited about the high court's first Hispanic nominee that he leapt from his chair in his home office and bopped his head on a low-hanging light fixture.

"This is as important to us as Obama was to the African American community. I have goosebumps," says Rivera, 65, born to a Catholic, Puerto Rican father and Jewish mother. He defines himself as the former.

In an interview from his North Jersey home, Rivera says there's only been a few times in his life he felt this pumped: When the Mets won their first World Series; when he passed his bar exam and when his kids were born. (He has five, ages 3 to 29.)

"It finally happened. Wow. Look how the Puerto Rican community came up with someone so world-class," says Rivera of Sotomayor, 54, a federal Appeals Court judge in New York and the product of a South Bronx housing project.

Rivera plans to celebrate Sotomayor's nomination by "drinking rum and eating rice and beans" before setting sail tomorrow to his home in Puerto Rico -TVNEWSER

Maybe this is one reason why Geraldo gets so heated at Hannity and O'Reilly over illegal immigration. Geraldo doesn't see past race.

John Bolton On Greta Talks About The Situation With North Korea

Bolton calls for getting rid of the 6 party talks, and putting North Korea back on the list of state sponsor of terror.

The former U.N. Ambassador says there may be a Iranian financial connection, and there may be a nuclear connection also.



Remember, John Bolton was a recess appointment in 2005 as U.N. Ambassador by President Bush, and he was unable to be confirmed by the Senate when the recess appointment expired in 2006 because Democrats hated him.


When the Democrats took over the House and Senate in 2006, Joe Biden famously came out and said about John Bolton "He's going nowhere"


Maybe we could take a page from the Democrats playbook and use it against Sonia Sotomayor

Mancow Visits Countdown With Keith Olbermann (Video)

He must be trying to get some ratings....


A few things should be pointed out, Mancow getting waterboarded and only lasting a few seconds, then calling it "torture" does not make torture. You could ask any victim of a cop's taser if it was torture, and they'd probably say yes..

Another thing is that Mancow is not a terrorists or enemy combatant so it's a completely different set of circumstances here.

Also, Mancow calls Keith Olbermann a stand up guy, for donating $10k to the VeteransOfValor.org, Keith Olbermann wouldn't be a stand up guy if he sold everything he has and gave the money to the poor, he is a far left wing vicious hate filled partisan hack that called the Republican party a terrorist organization and has a fascination with putting every Bush official behind bars.

By the way, here's that stand-up guy making Laura Ingraham tonight's "Worst Person," Laura is a breast cancer survivor... what would happen if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity took aim at Elizabeth Edwards calling her the worst person in the world? 'Think it would make the news?

Orrin Hatch On Sotomayor, "Is She An Activist Judge? Probably"

Orrin Hatch on MSNBC With Andrea Mitchell


Andrea Mitchell uses the DNC talking points on George H.W. Bush first nominating Sotomayor to the Federal bench.
Hatch quickly responds that he was there during that time, and that Sonia Sotomayor was chosen by Daniel Patrick Moynihan from New York and the Bush had no choice but to appoint her, Hatch saying that "District court judges we chosen by the Senate"

Andrea Mitchell starts to argue the Democrat talking points pretty hard towards the end of this interview.

It is not amazing that all the talking heads are calling Sonia Sotomayor's nomination "historic" because she would be the first latina woman on the Supreme Court? How did they treat hispanic Republican nominees? Alberto Gonzalez was the first hispanic Attorney General of the United States and his appointment was never historic to these people, not only that they were trying, and still trying to put Alberto Gonzalez behind bars for perjury.

Rush Limbaugh: Sonia Sotomayor is a "Horrible Pick"

"I doubt Sotomayor can be stopped,she should be, she a horrible pick,"
"She may as well be on the 9th Circus Court of Appeals"
"Here is why Sonia Sotomayor should be opposed by the Republicans as far as they can take it, because the American people need to know who Barack Obama is"

Rush: "Do I want her to fail? yes"


Well said Rush, hey did the Democrats want Clarence Thomas to succeed? or did they try to destroy him?
"This is a circus, it's a national disgrace, it's a High Tech Lynching for uppity blacks who dare to think for themselves" -Clarence Thomas

Protesters Take To Streets In Beijing Urging Pelosi To Pay Attention To Human Rights

epochtimes

BEIJING—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Shanghai on May 24. On the morning of May 25, 2,000 Chinese took to the streets of Beijing protesting against the communist regime and urging Pelosi to pay attention to human rights in China. About a dozen were arrested by Chinese police.

Protesters shouted slogans such as “Bring down corrupt officials,” “Restore human rights,” and “Long live democracy.” They distributed flyers or held their appeal letters in their hands.

Some protesters shouted, “Work as one heart,” “Welcome Pelosi: SOS—please pay attention to China’s human rights.” Eye-catching giant banners stretched across the streets. The protest lasted for about two hours.

With the help of another protester, Ms. Li Suzhen, Zhao unfurled a banner that says: “Welcome Pelosi: SOS – please pay attention to China’s human rights” and shouted slogans.

The Chinese police manhandled the protesters and injured many people. Elderly people in their 70’s were pushed to the ground by hired thugs.
According to Mr. Zhou Guangfu from Chongqing, there were more than 2,000 protesters.

“This is the capital city of China and we are welcoming foreign dignitaries. It is wrong for the police to treat protesters like this,” Zhou said.

Pelosi will visit Beijing and Shanghai during this visit, but has refused to reveal whether she would bring up human rights during the meetings. Before her visit, Pelosi revealed that she planned to discuss climate change, energy, and the economy.

A trip to China will change the subject of me and the CIA....

Iran Sends 6 Warships to International Waters in 'Saber Rattling' Move

"It will not be 6 months before the world tests Barack Obama"
Here you go Barry...


foxnews.com
Iran has sent six warships into international waters in a move security experts are calling a "muscle flexing" show of defiance following missile tests last week.
"Iran has dispatched six ... warships to international waters and the Gulf of Aden region in a historically unprecedented move by the Iranian Navy," Iranian Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told a gathering of armed forces officials, Reuters reported.

The deployment is "a signal of military strength, resolve and continued defiance to U.S. and U.N. Security Council efforts to end the impasse over Iran's nuclear program," said Jim Phillips, senior fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs at the Heritage Institute.

The Question We Should Ask Every RINO Republican

CNN's John King hit the nail on the head...

Tom Ridge gives a list of recommendations to the Republican party on what it has to do to win, then takes shots at Rush Limbaugh calling him shrill, one minute later, John King asks if Ridge will support the Republican on election day, Ridge responds that in America we have a secret ballot and won't commit to voting for the GOP.

King: "Why should any Republican listen to you if you won't commit to voting for the Republican nominee?"

Here's a few RINO Republicans that we should ask this question to:
Colin Powell
Ken Duberstein
Scott McClellan
Christopher Buckley
Michael Smerconish
William Weld
Lincoln Chafee
Ken Adelman
and throw in David Brooks...

The media is putting a camera and a microphone if front of anybody that will cause division in the GOP, Colin Powell happens to be the media's favorite right now. Remember how many times John McCain was invited on Meet the Press and Hardball when he was taking shot's at George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld on the war in Iraq.

Here's what happens when the reverse happens, a lifelong Democrat endorses a Republican. The media paints a big bullseye on their back. No softball questions here.

Karl Rove: Barack Obama Blaming Bush "Unprecedented"

Karl Rove on Foxnews Sunday


Rove: "We have an unprecedented effort by the current administration to blame all of it's problems on it's predecessor"..

"You cannot find any American President who has spent routinely and as often has excoriated his predecessor as this current Administration has done, I think there are people who welcome people like Cheney standing up and setting the record straight"

All of this push back from Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Ari Fleischer could have been done the last 8 years, but Bush's new tone prevented it, in what I think was by far and away the greatest mistake of his entire Presidency, allowing people that hate you and hate America to define you, and call you every name in the book uncontested.

Robert Gates On Afghanistan "I'm Disappointed In Our Allies"

Lack of help...blamed on politics...


Defense Secretary Robert Gates with Matt Lauer says he's disappointed with our allies lack of support in Afghanistan.

"They (Europe) have not made the political case to their own people why they are at risk, depending on what happens in Afghanistan, we see intelligence everyday about plots being put together against countries in western Europe by Al Queda"

"They haven't tried very hard to explain to their own people, to educate their own people into the nature of the threat against western Europe"

North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test, Releases Statement (Video)

North Korea statement at 1:17 in video...

foxnews.com
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea announced Monday that it successfully carried out a second underground nuclear test, less than two months after launching a rocket widely believed to be a test of its long-range missile technology.
North Korea, incensed by U.N. Security Council condemnation of its April 5 rocket launch, had warned last month that it would restart it rogue nuclear program, conduct a second atomic test as a follow-up to its first one in 2006, and carry out long-range missile tests.

Korean Central News Agency said the regime "successfully conducted one more underground nuclear test on May 25 as part of measures to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defense."

What comfort it should bring everybody that Democrats are in power...

I'm sure we'll take a stand and issue another U.N. Resolution...
How about that Barack Obama's goal of a world without nuclear weapons...

The problem is that people vote these fools into office....

Tom Ridge On CNN Rush Limbaugh "Shrill, Offends Very Many"

Tom Ridge contradicts himself inside of 1 minute...

"For the Republican Party to restore itself not as a regional party but as a national party, we have to be far less judgemental about disagreements within the party"

10 seconds later
Ridge:"I think a lot of our commentators are being shrill"(rush)

King: "you think Rush is being to judgemental, too shrill?"

Ridge: "Rush articulates his views in a way that offends very many, it's a matter of language and a matter of how you use words....lets express yourselves but respect others opinions, lets not be divisive...lets not attack individuals, lets attack their ideas, lets explain in a rational, thoughtful, responsible and reasonable way"....

Got it..., don't be judgemental within the party, then go after Rush Limbaugh in the next sentence.

This coming from a guy moments after this clip would not say he would support the Republican candidate over Benedict Arlen Specter. I've lost a lot of respect for Ridge in the last couple of interviews, his recipe has been tried(John McCain) and it didn't work.

Again, here's another guy telling the Republican team how to win, but won't say he'll support us on election day.

GOP Senator Threatens To Filibuster Obama's Supreme Court Pick

"The Arizona Senator acknowledged that his party likely does not have enough votes to sustain a filibuster, but he said nonetheless he would try to delay or derail the nomination if Obama ventures outside what Kyl called the mainstream."

breitbart
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate's No. 2 Republican on Sunday refused to rule out a filibuster if President Barack Obama seeks a Supreme Court justice who decides cases based on "emotions or feelings or preconceived ideas."

Sen. Jon Kyl made clear he would use the procedural delay if Obama follows through on his pledge to nominate someone who takes into account human suffering and employs empathy from the bench. The Arizona Republican acknowledged that his party likely does not have enough votes to sustain a filibuster, but he said nonetheless he would try to delay or derail the nomination if Obama ventures outside what Kyl called the mainstream.
"We will distinguish between a liberal judge on one side and one who doesn't decide cases on the merits but, rather, on the basis of his or her preconceived ideas," Kyl said.

Obama, who has interviewed at least two candidates for the position, has offered hints into what he wants in a justice. "You have to have not only the intellect to be able to effectively apply the law to cases before you," Obama said in an interview carried Saturday on C-SPAN television. "But you have to be able to stand in somebody else's shoes and see through their eyes and get a sense of how the law might work or not work in practical day-to-day living."
Obama also has said he wants someone who employs empathy, "understanding and identifying with people's hopes and struggles," when arriving at decisions that could influence the nation for decades.
That approach drew a rebuke Sunday from Kyl, who in January told the conservative Federalist Society that he reserved the right to filibuster.

"I went on to say a lot of things about what I meant by that, and I was distinguishing between a person who is just liberal—and undoubtedly this nominee will be liberal—and one who decides cases not based upon the law or the merits but, rather, upon his or her emotions, or feelings or preconceived ideas. That would be a circumstance in which I could not support the nominee," Kyl said.

Newt Gingrich vs. Dick Durbin On Meet The Press (Video)

September 11th vs. September 10th mentality

Dick Durbin using the far left talking points, rattles them off one by one. Gingrich argues that having a "fear" after September 11th, the bombings of the Khobar Towers, the Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the bombing of the USS Cole is healthy, meaning vigilance, and looking out with a sharp eye at the threats that are currently against us...

Dick Durbin just in case you forgot called our troops Nazi's, Soviet's and Pol Pot, no one should forget this anytime soon.

Should have ended his career, but we live in an insane world

Colin Powell On Face The Nation Tells Republicans How To Win From The Opposite Side Of the Field

Sorry about the video quality, I had to hurry to get this, but I got what he said, when a new video comes I will upload it,

Really, should we listen to anybody that says on national t.v. that they voted for Jimmy Carter?

Colin Powell on Face the Nation still telling Republicans what they have to do to win, big tent, broaden the party, moderate...I guess he was in a cave when we nominated John McCain last year...

Republicans should have a party policy to never listen to anyone tell us how to win while wearing the other Team's jersey

U.S. Jobless Rate Likely To Pass Europe's-NYTimes

How about those jobs from the Economic Stimulus package...

nytimes.com
For many years, unemployment in the United States was lower than in Western Europe, a fact often cited by people who argued that the flexibility inherent in the American system — it is easier to both hire and fire workers than in many European countries — produced more jobs.

That is no longer the case. Unemployment in the United States has risen to European averages, and seems likely to pass them when international data for April is calculated.

In March, the American unemployment rate stood at 8.5 percent, the same as the average rate for the first 15 members of the European Union — the countries that were part of the group before it began to expand into Eastern Europe.

In April, the rate in the United States rose to 8.9 percent. When the European figures are compiled, it seems likely that the American rate will be higher for the first time since Eurostat began compiling the numbers in 1993.

For men, the unemployment rate in the United States surpassed that of the 15 original European Union countries in December. By March, it was 9.5 percent in the United States, compared with just 7.5 percent for women. The figures for men and women in the 15 European countries, however, are close together, at 8.4 percent and 8.5 percent.

Honorair-Group Sends WWII Veterans To See Memorial In Washington D.C.

What a great story honoring these men..

The group is from honorair, and there website is honorflight.org, they transport WWII veterans free of charge to see the Memorial in Washington D.C. The report says that we are losing 1200 of these veterans a day, that's up from 1000. 16 million served in WWII and only 2 million remain.

Without these men, everything I'm writing and everything you're reading might be in fluent German. The leaders in that day recognized they had an enemy, unlike today where Barack Obama sends a reset button to Russia, whose leaders are former KGB, sends a Happy New Year greeting to Iran, reaches out to Hamas and Syria, wants to talk to the "moderate" Taliban, and shakes hands with Chavez.

Thank God Obama wasn't President back then, he would be trying to see if there are any "moderate" Nazi's we could talk to..

Pelosi Galore!!- RNC New Ad On The Speaker vs. The CIA

GOP taking a swing at Nancy stretch Pelosi

I planned on uploading this video this morning but the vid said "removed by the user"(rnc), this latest video again using content from 1964, this from the James Bond movie Goldfinger in 1964, yesterday it was the Daisy ad from September 1964.

There is a pattern here with 1964, when I figure out what it is, I'll let you know..

Here is the original from James Bond Goldfinger(1964)
Stop the Pelosi video(above) on :38, and the Goldfinger (below) on :50, I think I get the message here....

Obama Weekly Address Takes More Shots At The Previous Administration

He really can't help himself..


"I will send our servicemen and women into harms way only when it's necessary, and ensure they have the training and equipment they need when they enter a theatre of war"

Oh, were there troops going into war without training? really? and "ensuring the equipment they need?" Is that those old phony arguments about body armour that John Kerry used to talk about? So much for an Administration looking forward.

Here's what Obama thought about supporting our troops in 2007

Video Surfaces Of George W. Bush Speech To Artesia High School (Video)

No cameras were allowed in, but someone captured it with a cell phone


He gets emotional when talking about the man who lost both legs running with him on the south lawn of the White House, he talks also about meeting the families of the fallen.

When Bush talks about his love for the troops, America can hear it in his voice. I don't get that sense when Obama is talking to military, whether it's the Naval Academy or troops at a military base. Remember this is the guy who called the surge a failure, said there was no military solution in Iraq, said we were just "air raiding villages in Afghanistan," and called the Iraq war a mistake while soldiers were in harms way.

Obama also in early March proposed the idea of requiring private insurance companies to reimburse the Dept. of Veterans affairs for treatment to wounded soldiers (what a great idea).

Obama and the democrats did everything possible to lose the war in Iraq so Team Bush would get blame, until he became President and it looked like we were gonna win.

Democrats have zero problem putting lives of soldiers at risk, if it means they win at the ballot box.

Angry Backlash: New York Republican Turned Democrat Tries To Pull Stunt In Front Of GOP Headquarters (Video)

This shows you that if you're a Democrat, you don't go announce your candidacy in front of the GOP County Headquarters, her political stunt backfires...
Nina Bastardi(D) candidate for Nassau County, NY. Legislature

"They got what they deserved today"-GOP County Chairman

Nina Petraro Bastardi, a Republican-turned-Democrat who is running for New York's Nassau County Legislature, Bastardi and a group of supporters were gathered outside the local GOP headquarters.

Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi was listing Bastardi's achievements as a summa cum laude student when someone in the audience yelled out, "She's dumb as a rock!" When Bastardi tried to speak, they drowned her out with chants of "Traitor!" At one point, a protester threw a tea bag at Bastardi's group.

The Republican candidate for the Nassau seat, John Ciotti, was not present, but the Long Island newspaper Newsday reported that the chairman of the Nassau County Republican Committee, Joseph Modello, had this to say about the incident:

"They think they can come with impunity into our house and cause trouble. They can't walk all over us... We'd never pull that kinds of stunt. "

"They come to us, they're going to have to take their risks. They got what they deserved today. They tried to make light of what we stand for in the Republican Party, and we gave it back to them."

RNC Hits Dems With Daisy Ad On Closing Guantanamo (Video)

The left will throw a fit over this one too...
Personally I think the RNC should use the Wolves ad from 2004, weakness attracts those who want to do America harm, would be perfect in the case of Barack Obama

Johnson Daisy Ad from 1964, it only ran one time in September 1964, but it worked for him, winning 486 electorale votes and 44 states..

Obama Pain At The Pump: Highest Oil Prices Of His Presidency

How about that Barack Obama gonna bring an end to the "failed policies of the last 8 years"...

Inauguration morning Jan 20th, Oil was $32.70
This is a 3 Month Chart from marketwatch.com, I don't see any reporters with a camera and a microphone going down to the local gas stations asking drivers how they're gonna make ends meet..

Here's Our Dear Leader almost exactly on year ago slamming the Bush Adm. on high gas prices, and of course, bring up Cheney and the oil companies to make his point.
Oh, By the way, Obama gives this speech from a gas station knowing angry Americans see these things in pictures...

Is there not a d*** reporter that can point out what Obama said when Bush was President? or is it gonna be left to bloggers that can find this stuff in less than a half hour..

Liz Cheney Fires Back At Anderson Cooper And Lawrence O'Donnell

Obama Meets McCain's Son At Naval Academy Graduation (Video)

Obama, the blame America first Commander in Chief said:
"When America strays from our values, it not only undermines the rule of law, it alienates us from our allies, it energizes our adversaries and it endangers our national security and the lives of our troops."

Obama told the graduates they would face a "full spectrum of threats" from 18th century-style piracy to cyber terrorism.

"As long as I am your commander-in-chief, I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary," Obama said, in an apparent veiled criticism of the Bush administration war in Iraq, which the president has argued was unnecessary.

Robert Gates "Guantanamo Has A Taint, Advertisement For Al Qaeda" (Video)

Yeah, an advertisement that terrorists will go to prison.



Robert Gates really needs to resign, he knows what he saying is not true, and he does not believe what is coming out of his mouth.

It's not Gates speaking here, it's Obama, Gates is just the current messenger.
In Obama's mind, making the rest of the world like us is higher priority that National Security,

Sitting in an anti-American hate filled church for 20 years and being a lifelong friend with a person that was at war with the United States can make an impression on a fellow...

Bush Receives Warm Welcome At High School In New Mexico

Families line up around the block to hear former President Bush

It's "liberating" being out of office.

foxnews.com
ARTESIA, N.M. -- It was a humbling moment for the former commander in chief: President George W. Bush was walking former first dog Barney in his new Dallas neighborhood when it stopped in a neighbor's yard for relief.

"And there I was, former president of the United States of America, with a plastic bag on my hand," he told a group of graduating high school students in New Mexico on Thursday. "Life is returning back to normal."

Bush, in one of his few public appearances since leaving office in January, told the students that leaving office lifted a heavy burden.

"I no longer feel that great sense of responsibility that I had when I was in the Oval Office. And frankly, it's a liberating feeling," he told seniors from Artesia High School.

He received a warm welcome in the southeastern New Mexico community, the Roswell Daily Record reported. Bush declined interviews and no video cameras were allowed inside.

The crowd gave him multiple standing ovations and after his speech he was presented with a sculpture of an eagle taking flight from a torch. The sculpture will be dedicated at City Hall on Memorial Day in honor of Bush and America's veterans.

Bush made his first public speech since leaving office in Canada back in March. Bush said he hoped President Barack Obama's administration would be successful. He also said he was writing a book about some of the difficult decisions he made while in office.
