In case you think the far left has no connection with radical Islam, check this out!

Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure

So much for Obama's "unconditional talks" ...... he might not have any preconditions but Ahmedinejad sure as hell does!!!

Corruption, Democrat Style

Another Obama cabinet appointee designate "discovers" he owed back taxes !!!! Daschle is the latest (and probably not the last) in this parade of corrupt persons being appointed!!!!

What Are They Buying?

What is government REALLY buying..... all this haste, all this hurry...... feels to me like the wool is being pulled over our eyes!!!!!

Ensuring "Equal Treatment" in the Minnesota Recount: Bush v. Gore Redux

A good, detailed description of the Minnesota Senate race recount issues.

Stimulus slush fund for the housing entitlement mob

Though ACORN could get up to $5 BILLION, they are not alone in pigging out from this Democrat horn of plenty. "If not ACORN, then who? Next in line for the stimulus windfall is the Massachusetts-based Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA). Founder Bruce Marks proudly calls himself a “bank terrorist.” As I reported last spring, Marks threatened to march into the neighborhoods of bank executives and bully their children. He’s done it for years, all under the guise of “social justice” and “neighborhood stabilization.” Marks’ agenda is blatantly political and personally lucrative. NACA — with dozens of offices across the country — has a no-down-payment, no-closing-costs, low-interest-rate policy for low-income minority borrowers — and takes a hefty fee for each transaction. NACA loan applicants are then required to attend workshops getting indoctrinated in the group’s protest thuggery.(See Howard Husock’s invaluable 2000 City Journal piece here.)" - Michelle Malkin

"US-EU Trade War Looms"

"..... we see the Obama administration thrashing around like a bull in a china shop, apparently oblivious to the consequences of its actions overseas. This is rapidly becoming a pattern."

Are you with Obama or Rush?

Democrats launch major TV and Internet blitz targeting Republican Congressmen, and using Rush Limbaugh as their whipping boy.

Republican senators vow to resist Obama stimulus plan

Call your senator's Washington OR local office NOW to encourage them to VOTE NO on this horrible, virtually ALL PORK, NO STIMULUS bill. This is wish list of Democrats favorite social engineering projects collected over decades and now being unleashed upon us because "there is a crisis". If this passes, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will pay for this for decades to come!

The Amazing Story Behind The Global Warming Scam

The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax we citizens for our carbon footprints. Only two details stand in the way, the faltering economic times and a dramatic turn toward a colder climate. The last two bitter winters have lead to a rise in public awareness that CO2 is not a pollutant and is not a significant greenhouse gas that is triggering runaway global warming.

Stimulating

This "stimulus" bill sets up a new government bureau whose job it will be to determine medical "items, procedures, and interventions" that it deems insufficiently effective or excessively expensive. They "will no longer be prescribed" by federal health programs. HERE COMES MEDICAL CARE RATIONING..... hidden within this "stimulus" bill .......no debate, no discussion allowed....... just pass it.

PATHETIC 'MESSAGE'

Obama asks Iran to "unclench its fist" and to accept his offer of "unconditional talks". Ahmadinejad responded by handing Obama his own head .... insisting that the U.S. meet a whole set of conditions, including an apology "for crimes" as well as withdrawal of all U.S. forces from other countries !!!

Not So Fast!

EU leadership says it needs time to consider Obama's request to take Gitmo prisoners...... admits that that unilateralist, stupid cowboy Bush tried for years to get the EU to take the prisoners. Wonder why we didn't hear about that ?

A Hypocrite? Moi, Barack?

Obama cranks oval office room temperature up so far that he and visitors remove their coats ...... aides say he hates the cold so he cranked up the thermostat!!!! See campaign quote below:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."

House Republicans Hold Firm

The Republicans tried .... but here are their provisions which were rejected:

The Republican proposal would:

* Reduce the lowest individual tax rates from 15 percent to 10 percent and from 10 percent to five percent.
* Allow small businesses a tax deduction up to 20 percent of income.
* Finance a $7,500 credit for home-buyers who put down at least 5 percent.
* Expand Net Operating Loss carryback rules to give companies that have been profitable in the past but are now losing money prompt infusions of cash.
* Provide an above-the-line tax deduction for private health insurance to equalize tax treatment between those who have employer-sponsored health plans and those who don't.

Billions for ACORN?

Five BILLION $$ to ACORN ............. what a travesty, what a blatant move to support left wing radicalism !!!!!!!!

Ahmadinejad wants U.S. to APOLOGIZE !!!!

"Those who say they want to make change, this is the change they should make: they should apologize to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation," Ahmadinejad said. APOLOGIZE ??????? for what ?????

Voters ask court to add absentees to Minn. recount

The sham to get COMEDIAN Al Franken elected Senator for Minnesota continues. The incumbent, Norm Coleman, is fighting against a DEMOCRAT controlled political machine to keep his seat.

Hollow victory: Republicans deliver slap in the face to Barack Obama

This "victory" is Obama's alone .... no, zero, zip, nada House Republicans supported this. As it goes down the road and fails miserably to revive our economy, as it surely will fail because there is so very little in here to STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, then Obama alone will be to blame. ........ but, will our feint of heart lib friends acknowledge that his programs are doomed to do anything but enslave us to an ever growing Federal government? I doubt it.

Is it Economic Stimulus or a Hog Roast?

In this "stimulus" package which you can read in all of its 647 pages of magnificence at:
http://www.rules.house.gov/111/LegText/111_hr1_text.pdf

No matter how laudable the causes served, IS THIS REALLY ECONOMIC STIMULUS or Obama Democrat Socialist state building of government handouts followed by control?

Try searching this bill using some favorite words, like :

SEX : not less than $335,000,000 shall be used as an additional amount to carry out domestic HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually-transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis prevention programs, as jointly de5
termined by the Secretary and the Director;

FAMILY PLANNING: Sec. 5004. State eligibility option for family planning services

INDIANS: Sec. 5005. Protections for Indians under Medicaid and CHIP.

and on and on and on .........................

No Politics Allowed

I wonder how many millions of conservative and mainstream Americans have stopped supporting cultural organizations because of this sort of wanton left-wing politicization.

All Politics, All the Time

On the eve of a key vote, President Barack Obama privately promised Republican critics he stands ready to accept changes in $825 billion economic stimulus legislation, and urged lawmakers to "put politics aside" in the interest of creating badly needed jobs.

What a joke! The Dems' $825 billion pork-fest bill is nothing but politics. Every constituency of the Democratic Party, every crony of powerful Democratic legislators, every pet liberal project will be showered with bacon. The idea that "putting politics aside" has anything to do with this bill is an insult to your intelligence.

Senator Warns White House Will 'Create Crisis' and 'Panic' to Push Stimulus

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., criticizes mainstream media for not reporting loads of pork in proposed legislation.

Limbaugh Responds to Obama

Obama attacks Limbaugh ...... Limbaugh blasts back Is this the Administration's prelude to muzzling talk radio by invoking the so-called "Fairness Act" ?

Barney Frank's screwing the taxpayers continues

His hands are all over this entire financial meltdown...... and apparently he continues to manipulate our money!

OBAMA continues "Bush's War"

For those of you who thought Obama was going to "stop the war" ........ here is the real truth of the matter !

Submission in the Netherlands

And some Dutch think the U.S. is despised in the world ??????

News access issues concern those covering Obama

Obama promised the most OPEN and TRANSPARENT administration ever !!!! And he's kept press photographers out of events they have in the past been allowed to report. AP, Reuters and Agence France-Presse are objecting by witholding use of Whitehouse official photos.

Obama flashes irritation in press room

Report: Ex-Gitmo detainee joins al-Qaida in Yemen

Released from Guantanamo after 6 years in prison, Al Shihiri rejoins Al Qaeda and is now their #2 terrorist in Yemen. So much for closing Gitmo !!!!

Rah! Rah! For O-Bam-A!

Confirmation from the New York Times itself that it is politically in bed with Obama's camp.

Pelosi draws her lines with Obama

Well..... it looks like politics as usual with this Socialist Congress !!!!

Obama Inauguration Sets Record for Private Jets

Flying private to a celebration of a populist, pro-environment President is a bit like the Detroit execs jetting to Washington for bailout money. How do you call for social responsibility after touching down in a $40 million, gas-guzzling Gulfstream? (Maybe travelers will buy carbon credits).

Hamas at work

If the Israelis were carrying out these tortures there would be street demonstrations worldwide. But, because it is Hamas, the MSM gives them a pass and ignores the story!

HOW THEY STACK UP

Superintendent warns against 'inappropriate comments'

It sounds like the organization F.I.R.E. , an organization dedicated to defending and sustaining individual rights at America's colleges and universities, needs to extend its reach to our nation's high schools. F.I.R.E. focuses on defending college students from University assaults on their free speech and other Constitutionally guaranteed rights.

What Recession? The $170 Million Inauguration

The country is in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, which isn't stopping rich donors and the government from spending $170 million, or more, on the inauguration of Barack Obama .

Obama naysayers speak out

With Barack Obama's approval ratings in the 70s and his visage plastered on every shop window and Metro card in Washington, it's hard to remember that 58 million Americans voted for the other guy.

The pre-inaugural MSM -- more childish than partisan

One expects the mainstream media to wax poetic when a Democrat is about to become president. But the praise it is heaping on Barack Obama is surely unprecedented. The comparisons with Abraham Lincoln represent the most ridiculous example.

Reasonable in what sense?

Eric Holder, appointee to be Attorney Heneral, told Congress the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN, which he helped push through the Justice Department, were "reasonable." A victim says pardoning these terrorists was "a disrespectful affront to all Americans, particularly to those of us who have come face to face with their violence." Why is it reasonable to bestow pardons on anti-American terrorists?

CNN seems to criticize GOP party poopers

It appears that the press wants to repeal any kind of partisanship for the duration. What does the "climate of national goodwill" have to do with people standing up for what they believe? Certainly, a part of that is opposing people and policies that you disagree with.

Obama hosting pricey party in a dicey economy

Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun. WHAT HYPOCRISY !!! This will be the tone of this administration of elitist snobs ..... declaring all the time how they "care for the poor" while living high on the hog themselves!

January 10, 2009: The Intifada is globalized as the Gaza War becomes a world war

A worldwide coordinated attack .........

Smart Politics?

Hillary said, an emphasis on diplomacy rather than "military force" and "unilateral action" will be the Obama strategy. In fact, however, George Bush did not address any major international issue unilaterally--not Afghanistan, not Iraq, not Iran, not North Korea. Hillary obfuscates purposefully!!

The Only Thing We Have to Fear . . . is Obama.

Presidents with strong nerves are decisive. They don't balk at unpopular decisions. They are willing to make people angry. President Bush had strong nerves. President Clinton, who passed up a chance to eliminate Osama bin Laden, did not. Obama is a people pleaser, a trait not normally associated with nerves of steel.

Obama's ignorance of the law

Barack Obama who was acclaimed as the president of Harvard Law Review, constitutional scholar and professor, can't get the law straight. Be sure to read:

Barack Obama, Legal Scholar

What if I didn't pay taxes?

The person who will be in charge of the IRS did not pay all of his own income tax .... for several years!!!! And this Congress is giving him a pass ????? and read:

Life on Mars

ALIEN microbes living just below the Martian soil are responsible for a haze of methane around the Red Planet, Nasa scientists believe.

Obama Calls Treasury Secretary’s Failure to Pay Taxes an ‘Innocent Mistake’

The president-elect, asked about the situation on Wednesday, said, "Look is this an embarrassment for him? Yes. He said so himself. But it was an innocent mistake. It is a mistake that is commonly made for people who are working internationally or for international institutions. It has been corrected. He paid the penalties." Right ...... just a little mistake for "forgetting" to pay his taxes for 3-4 years by the guy who Obama wants to head up our Treasury Dept. !!!!! INCREDIBLE

Education Secretary-Nominee Defends Chicago Schools Failure to Meet No Child Left Behind Standards

Obama's pick for Secretary of Education is a Former Head of Chicago Public Schools ( which have failed to meet "No Child Left Behind" Act requirements, for FIVE YEARS RUNNING) and he says it is illogical to have such requirements!!!!!!!!!!!

Blowing snow and frigid temperatures pound nation

Damned Global Warming !!!!!!

Bush declares a 'state of emergency' in Washington as cost of Obama's swearing-in ceremony soars to £110m

Barack Obama's inauguration is set to cost more than £100m (about $150 million) making it the most expensive swearing-in ceremony in US history.

More Than a Good Feeling

Why are so many oligarchs, royal families, and special-interest groups giving money to the Clinton Foundation?

Journalists Being Shut Out by Obama

"....journalists at Barack Obama news conferences have come to realize that Obama has pre-picked those journalists whom he will allow to ask him questions at the conference and many of them now "don't even bother raising" their hands to be called upon....." Surprise, surprise ?

Is Eric Holder being candid about his relationship with Gov. Blagojevich?

And this guy Holder is going to be ATTORNEY GENERAL of the U.S.?

Mark Steyn: The 'oldest hatred' lives, from Gaza to Florida

In Toronto, anti-Israel demonstrators yell "You are the brothers of pigs!," and a protester complains to his interviewer that "Hitler didn't do a good job."

In Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters sneer at Jews, "You need a big oven, that's what you need!"

In Amsterdam, the crowd shouts, "Hamas, Hamas! Jews to the gas!"

In Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Helsingborg, Odense, Antwerp, London, Florida ....... the cry is the same.

WHAT IN HELL HAS THIS WORLD COME TO ?

Obama climate czar has socialist ties

Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change. SINCE THE APPOINTMENT WAS ANNOUNCED, THE SOCIALISTS HAVE SCRUBBED HER NAME FROM THE WEB SITE ! Cute, eh?

Pelosi Erases Gingrich's Long-Standing Fairness Rules

Pelosi plans to abolish Republican "openess rules" brought in by Gingrish in 1995. These new rules will allow Democrats to box out the minority Republicans, ensconce committee chairmen for years, and allow secret, no-debate legislation to be passed!

Funny Business in Minnesota

".... more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote." and these ballots "just happen" to favor comedian Al Franken.... who will, it appears now, be seated as a Democrat U.S. Senator!

A bleeding heart liberal gets religion

It's hard to believe, but Washington state's governor Chris Gregoire is proposing deportation of imprisoned illegals in order to save the state money. Does this mean she REALLY believes that certain liberal policies cost too damn much?

The state of the borders

Illegals getting public housing? On our tax dollars?????

EU presidency says Israeli action is defensive

The Czech Republic, taking their turn to lead the European Union, announce that they view Israel's action in Gaza to be "Defensive, not offensive" !

BAM STIRS FEARS IN ISRAEL

You have to kill fanatics. Nothing else works.

EU gets hot & bothered over new EU President

The European Union's new figurehead believes that climate change is a dangerous myth and has compared the (European) union to a Communist state. Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, assumes Presidency of the EU Parliament.

Republican Convention terrorist whistle blower

An FBI informant infiltrated an anti-Republican activist group who built fire bombs to disrupt the policing of the Minneapolis 2008 Republican National Convention. The informant has gone public just before the trial of activist terrorists begins. YOUR MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS SIMPLY NOT REPORTING THIS STORY !

Thuggery: Not So Popular After All

The Wall Street Journal reports that, happily, the Union Thug Empowerment Act (sometimes known as "card check") looks to be stalled in the Senate

Hamas H.Q. Bombed; Power Line, too

Just an hour or so after Power Line posted a series of videos from the Israeli Defense Forces.... we experienced a Denial-of-Service attack from a cabal of a half-dozen servers in the U.S. The attack sought to make Power Line and the videos we are hosting inaccessible by overloading our server. Our data center promptly registered the attack, and then defeated it by placing Power Line behind an advanced computer called a Cisco Guard. This device recognize malicious Internet traffic and defeats it.

See this article for graphs to see what a D.O.S. computer attack looks like!

America's Fifth Column

Is there anybody in his right mind who thinks that the United States should keep its doors open to Hamas supporters of the kind depicted in this video?

Moral Clarity in Gaza

For Hamas, the only thing more prized than dead Jews are dead Palestinians. The religion of Jew-murder and self-martyrdom is ubiquitous.
