Calm Sense Of Impending Violence Returns To Middle East As Ceasefire Brokered...The Onion
- I've never been a Republican. In fact, I've described myself as a Reagan Democrat. But I am now a registered Independent. Having that point out of the way, one of the biggest myths coming from the presstitutes, progressives and many Democrats is the absurd charge that Republicans and conservatives lack diversity. Sexism and racism are the common refrains against conservatives coming from progressives. In fact, it was part of the Democrat strategy in this past election cycle (that lunatic, Chris Mathews of MSNBC, actually said using "Chicago" in explaining Democrat politics was a racially coded word. And Lawrence O'Donnel, another MSNBC dummy, actually said referring to Obam's frequent golf outings was a racist knock). The narrative of Republican's lack of diversity was true in early times, but it's false today. It's even more ludicrous when one looks at the current leadership of the Democrat Party. Pelosi heads the House; Harry Reid the Senate. It does not get whiter than those two nitwits. And, yes, the same can be said for Republican leadership. But let's review recent history including the rising leadership in both parties.
- Republicans appointed the first black Secretary of State in Colin Powell. Republicans appointed the first black female Secretary of State in Condi Rice. In the last election, Herman Cain had a pretty good run. Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative, is the only black sitting Justice on the Supreme Court.
- The emerging leadership in the Republican Party today includes, but is not limited to, Marco Rubio, a Cuban American. It also includes Mia Love, a black female conservative. Bobby Jindal, governor of LA, is the first governor of any state of Indian heritage. Nikki Haley, current Governor of South Carolina is the first female governor of any state of Indian heritage. Incoming Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, is also a Cuban American. Susana Martinez is the current governor of New Mexico. And there are many others including Allen West, Tim Scott and Michael Steele, all three leading African American conservatives.
Nation's Uncles Enter Last Stage of Prep For Thursday's Thanksgiving Dinner...The Onion
- Breaking news in U.S. News and World Report this morning: "More Americans Will Use Food Stamps For Thanksgiving This Year Than Ever Before." The Obama Legacy continues. This Thanksgiving over 42 million Americans will be on food stamps. The number of recipients on food stamps has increased 70% in just the last 5 years. The cost to taxpayers is approximately $72 billion in 2011. At least, those in real need, will be thankful I'm sure. I just hope they are thankful to the American people not to Congress or the administration.
- First time unemployment claims dropped slightly to 410,000. But last week's claims were re-adjusted up (as they always are) to 451,000.
Obama: I Will Allow 10 States To Secede But No More...The Onion
- I love referring to the satire of The Onion because that's where the main stream presstitutes now get all their news.
- There's a lot of talk about this impending "fiscal cliff." For most Americans, the fiscal cliff came into view in January of 2009 when Pres. Obama took the oath of office.
- News is now breaking by CBS that the Director of National Intelligence scrubbed the reference to al-Qaeda in Susan Rice's talking points. Just developing.
- Those of us old enough to remember---during Ronald Reagan's advocacy for a Star Wars missile defense system---he was bashed for pursuing such systems. I have a feeling the Israelis are very happy he did considering the Iron Dome is now saving thousands of Israeli lives as Hamas continues to dump hundreds of non-guidance rockets on their heads.
- Before Israelis return fire, they drop leaflets over Gaza warning they will respond. The only warning Israelis have is a 15 second "Red Alert" siren to find shelter. Imagine what Israeli families have been going through for years now. For example, you might be at work and your family is at home during one of these alerts. Or your child is at school while your at work and a siren starts wailing. Try living under those conditions--for a day.
The economy is so bad MSNBC had to lay off 300 Obama spokesmen...Leno
- It appears a day does not go by when the White House proposes yet another excuse for the facts surrounding the attack on our embassy in Benghazi. As of this writing, there are about five different scenarios floating out there. The latest has to do with the edited talking points about the terrorist attack on the embassy. The White House said the only edit they made was changing the word "consulate" to "diplomatic facility." Yet, Gen. Petraeus told lawmakers the CIA knew immediately the attack pointed to al-Qaeda. So who scrubbed the reference to al-Qaeda? Who told UN Ambassador to go on all those pundit news programs and declare the attack was spontaneous and in response to the anti-Muslim film when, it appears, everyone---including the White House---knew otherwise (that it was a terrorist attack)? It now appears that not only was Petraeus thrown under the bus, but the CIA joined him.
- It's also becoming increasingly clear Americans have been misled by the administration. It also appears the Obama administration has politicized Benghazi not the Republicans.
- Perhaps we should not be surprised. It's been a typical reaction by the progressives and the Left: blame Israel for defending herself but give the terrorists a pass for killing innocents. Just today, Israeli cyber security personnel are reporting millions of hackers hit Israeli government web sites. In 2010, in Chicago, progressive and liberal organizations joined over 1000 Muslims and burned an Israeli flag. Progressive students at our nation's universities universally support Hamas and the Palestinians. And the American Left has a long history of supporting Leftists terrorists from Che to Bill Ayers.
