Last night on Hannity, former VP Dick Cheney was on, and part of their discussion was about the decision to release the CIA memos about the enhanced interrogation techniques of detainees. Cheney’s saying if they’re going to release that, why don’t they release EVERYTHING, including the memos that detail EXACTLY what plans and plots were stopped by those very interrogations?
I don’t see why Obama shouldn’t, but I doubt he will. He can’t bring himself to do anything that might portray what Bush & Cheney in a positive light, so I won’t hold my breath on that one.
Today on Special Report with Brett Baier, the panel including Charles Krauthammer, was especially prescient in describing the pitfalls of Obama’s South American visit, his time with Chavez, his complacent acceptance of Daniel Ortega’s 50-minute anti-US screed, as well as America’s endurance of Mahmoud’s tirade about Israel being a “racist regime.”
WAKE UP AMERICA! THIS COUNTRY IS BEING TRASHED AND OUR PRESIDENT IS ALLOWING IT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WILLING TO DO TO STAND UP TO THIS LUNACY? I’m SICK of Obama portraying us as the country of apologists. The world’s ills are NOT our fault, despite what some think, and I’m sick of Hussein’s constant trashing of this country while abroad.
And Mahmoud’s performance AGAIN in front of a U.N. Conference? Will Americans still accept our president if he now says he will not change his mind about direct talks without pre-condition? How in God’s name can he do that after today? Are you seriously kidding me?
Today John Bolton and Karl Rove were on Glenn’s show to discuss the recent visit and pow-wow in Latin America, with the hugs & kisses exchanged by Obama and Chavez. Obama is becoming quite the defeatocrat surrender-monkey, as he’s met with more of America’s foes than he’s met with America’s allies.
What an embarrassment. If you aren’t, you should be… as an AMERICAN! Sad to say, the apology tour continues.
Rove and Bolton then move on to discuss the impending move to transnationalism this country is facing, and what it will mean to our country’s own sovereignty, as well as our 2nd Amendment rights.
Folks, how long are we going to put up with this? How long can this last? Will you sit silent while our country is destroyed? I hope to God you won’t. I know I won’t.
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested the “Tea Party” movement is an “unhealthy” reaction to the tough economic climate facing the country.
Axelrod was asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” about the “spreading and very public disaffection” with the president’s fiscal policies seen at the “Tea Party” rallies around the country last week.
“I think any time you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that’s unhealthy,” Axelrod said.
Axelrod appeared to backtrack when pressed on whether the movement is unhealthy.
“Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, and so far these are expressions,” he said.
This goes to show just how out of touch the political class is with We The People. This whole thing stinks to high heaven, and underscores the seriousness of this administration’s DHS Threat Assessment of “right-wing extremists.” This is just a harbinger of things to come.
This afternoon, the Maersk Captain who was held captive by Somali terrorists was finally brought home. He took about a minute and a half to speak to the press, and the world for that matter, and said it wasn’t him that was the hero – it was the military and the Navy SEALs.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
