“The truth of America is understood only when you listen to voices in our impoverished rural enclaves, prisons and the urban slums, when you hear the words of our unemployed, those who have lost their homes or cannot pay their medical bills, our elderly and our children, especially the quarter of the nation’s children who depend on food stamps to eat, and all who are marginalized.

A White House 'Gunrunner'? →
Dan Restropo, NSC’s “top man for Latin America” according to this IBD editorial, is the latest White House official to be potentially implicated in Fast and Furious via the ATF memos.
I suspected all along that there is no way on God’s green earth that Obama and Holder did not at least know about this plan, and are very likely involved in a more strategic sense. It’s...

This dumbass reporter believed the spin from Solyndra leadership, that they were healthy, just nine weeks ago.
So, if it’s green energy, then CEOs are wonderful benevolent human beings who never lie. But if it’s Wall Street, they are evil personified and would not cross the street to piss on you if you were on fire.
Got it. Good to know.

virtualanarchy:

President Obama has been touring all over the midwest these past few weeks, giving speeches to crowds of fans, anxious to hear what’s next on his agenda. One could be forgiven for believing that these are less about pushing the president’s current agenda, and more about launching the reelection campaign, however this is a charge that the ...

Raising Taxes Will NOT Help the Deficit
Tax revenues are mainly a function of GDP, and almost independent of tax rates (with conditions, e.g., existing rates are not uber-low). If somebody has evidence that proves that statement wrong, I’d like to see it.
So assuming that premise is factual why do people who should know better, like David Stockman, continue to confuse the public about this issue? I.e, since higher tax rates WILL...

The Sun Never Sets On The British Welfare System →
Ann Coulter blames the London riots mostly on the British welfare state. Is she right? I suspect she is.
Either way it’s a great read. And that headline is awesome.
Quoting:
Rioters in England are burning century-old family businesses to the ground, stealing from injured children lying on the sidewalks and forcing Britons to strip to their underwear on the street.

Under Debt Ceiling Deal, Debt to Rise $12 Trillion... →
talkstraight:
If you’ve been watching the news media react to the debt ceiling deal you might thing some drastic spending cuts were signed into law. After all, ABC made it sound like Congress took a “machete” to the budget and NBC’s “Today” wondered if those spending cuts could harm the economy. What has been completely missing from much of the network reporting was an admission that the deal...

Looking Back on the Chicago Bears 2011
With football starting up again — thank God — it should be fun to revisit A Quick Rant About the State of the Chicago Bears 2011, my post-season wrap from a few months ago, which is mostly about the horror show that is the Bears’ leadership team: Mike McCaskey, Ted Phillips, Jerry Angelo, and Lovie Smith.
Here’s part of it:
Let’s talk about the offensive line situation....

This chart from the White House, which purports to prove, with the scientific magic of math, that basically everything bad that has happened to the budget is the fault of one George W. Bush, has been making the rounds. My colleague approvingly calls it “Another chart that should accompany all debt ceiling discussions”.
I’m a little less enamored, considering that this graph attributes...

It is now a widely-reported fact that under the Obama administration, U.S. federal agents actively placed over 30,000 fully-functional weapons into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, then halted all surveillance and tracking activities of where those weapons were going.
Among the firearms sold to the Mexican drug gangs were AK-47s, thousands of pistols and, remarkably, .50-caliber...

Caroline Glick :: Obama's abandonment of America →
Like Shooting Ducks in a Barrel
Caroline Glick absolutely destroys Obama’s Middle East speech calling for Israel’s return to the 1949 (or pre-1967 War) borders.
Hey Mr. President! Have your people do a better job fact-checking your bullshit. Of course, that might mean you’d have to stop talking altogether.

This is lunacy.
Why on Earth would a serious nation interested in preserving itself ever give up territory it won by fighting a war?

Nearly everything he does is about pandering to his favorite causes and/or donors, and Greens (causes) and “renewable energy” (donors) are pretty high on his list.

Hate is an emotion, a feeling, a state of mind. Its internal. It exists only within the mind of an individual.
A crime, however, is an action. A physically observable behavior. It exists in the empirical world, always involves some type of external entity to the person committing it, whether against another person, or a piece of property.
