UN Warns Americans:
Do Not Elect Mitt Romney

Breitbart Big Peace, by Joel B. Pollack Original Article

Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/21/2012 1:30:49 PM Post Reply

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights has warned Americans not to elect Republican Mitt Romney in next month’s presidential election, saying that doing so would be “a democratic mandate for torture.” The UN’s Ben Emmerson was referring to Romney’s refusal to rule out the use of waterboarding in interrogating terror detainees, a practice that President Barack Obama has ended. Colin Perkel of The Canadian Press reported Emmerson’s remarks from a symposium in Toronto on the impact of 9/11 on human rights: "The re-introduction of torture under a Romney administration would significantly increase

Mitt Romney: new leadership

Given the final two minutes to speak during Tuesday's second presidential debate, President Barack Obama quickly spotlighted what he said was the key distinction between his re-election candidacy and the campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. "There's a fundamentally different vision about how we move our country forward," Obama said. He's right, and "fundamentally different" is what the nation needs. For that reason, Romney should be elected president on Nov. 6. The slow U.S. economy and its discouragingly high unemployment overshadow the other important issues in this election. Economic recovery must be spurred to a faster pace,

Priorities USA has its biggest month yet, collecting $15.25 million in September to support the president's reelection, according to the PAC's filings. David L. Boies Jr., an attorney who fought to overturn California's Proposition 8, also gave $1 million. Director Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg doubled down on their commitment to President Barack Obama's reelection last month, contributing $1 million each to super PAC Priorities USA. All together the PAC collected $15.25 million during the month of September. Katzenberg's contribution brought his total donation to Priorities USA to $3 million,

City removes actual fork in the road

Jim Grant was driving home in Carlsbad, California, when he came to a fork in the road. No, an actual fork. The oversized kitchen utensil was 6 feet high, made of wood, painted silver and mounted in the concrete island at the intersection of Levante Street and Anillo Way in south Carlsbad. Grant, a local photographer and a contributor to CNN iReport, knew he had to pull over. "I actually laughed out loud in my truck and just knew I had to get some shots of this urban art before some city employee takes it down or it is vandalized," he

An Open Letter to Obama Voters

Did you vote for Barack Obama in 2008? A lot of people did – obviously. What a time. There’s still room for improvement, but what a testimony to just how far we as a nation have come in terms of racial harmony, tolerance and diversity. Only decades earlier a man like Barack Obama – a black man – couldn’t even drink from the same water fountain as a white man, let alone become president of the United States.

Experts Fear Looted Libyan
Arms May Find Way to Terrorists

New York Times, by C. J. Chivers Original Article

Security analysts say the armed uprising in Libya poses a long-term security threat — that weapons looted from government stockpiles could circulate widely, including heat-seeking antiaircraft missiles that could be used against civilian airliners. Photographs and video from the uprising show civilians carrying a full array of what were once the Libyan military’s weapons — like the SA-7, an early-generation, shoulder-fired missile in the same family as the more widely known Stinger — that intelligence agencies have long worried could fall into terrorists’ hands.

Could U.S. military have

The closer we get to the election, the harder Republicans in Congress are pushing for answers to a big question: What really happened in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last month that killed the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans? Some lawmakers are asking why U.S. military help from outside Libya didn't arrive as terrorists battered more than 30 Americans over the course of more than seven hours.(Snip)CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi,

Laws similar to Prop. 32 have had

SACRAMENTO — The wealthy conservatives behind a November ballot measure that would constrain organized labor's ability to raise political money say their initiative, Proposition 32, would help change the balance of power in California's Democrat-dominated Capitol. But the experiences of some states that have passed similar measures suggest that's not always the case. (Snip)In states where unions are highly influential — especially teachers unions, whose large memberships make them political powerhouses — labor has used legal challenges, accounting shifts and loopholes to circumvent restrictions.

Will Bob Schieffer Ask Obama
About China Donations?

Breitbart Big Government, by Tony Lee Original Article

CBS News's Bob Schieffer, who will moderate Monday's foreign policy debate, announced last week that China will be one of topics he will have President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney address. China is a particularly timely topic, given that a recent Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report that found Obama's campaign website may be vulnerable to foreign donations--and deliberately so. In addition, there have been recent reports that the Chinese government may be actively spying on nearly every American industry. That makes China's potential for exploiting loopholes in U.S. campaign laws to influence elections and undermine America's sovereignty

CUATRO MILPAS, MEXICO— In this hardscrabble farming village, an American teenager like Luis Martinez was bound to stand out. Raised on Little Caesars pizzas and Big Gulps, Luis, 13, was portly.

Mitt Romney for president

Mitt Romney is the man who can lead the nation out of its lingering economic doldrums and restore faith in the United States. A successful executive in the public and private sector, Romney is a committed capitalist who understands that the nation's prosperity is driven by free enterprise, not government. Under President Barack Obama's liberal and inconsistent leadership, the country has limped along, barely a step ahead of another recession. The deficit soared, government expanded and the prospects of more regulations and taxes chilled corporate investment.

One day before the final presidential debate, Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., offered a strong defense of Mitt Romney and panned the president as a leader lacking vision refusing to divulge his plans for the future. "The president has no plans for the next four years," Rubio said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "Tomorrow is his last chance to tell us what he's going to do in the next four years." The Florida senator said the debates have been an important component of the presidential race because Romney was able to cut through the president's narrative.

The Struggle for Obama

Why the grim struggle waged over an eminently forgettable, laughably amateurish poseur—Barack Obama, in all his tragic and self-deluded grandeur? Actually this raging battle is for stakes so much larger than what’s on the surface it’s difficult to fathom. You see, personalities aside, we are caught in a titanic struggle over the soul of of America—regarding our collective DNA—what we believe and who we are. Progressive forces are trying to birth into being a neo-pagan kingdom, with all that implies, symbolized by the Democrat National Convention dropping Israel and God from the party platform.

Jeff Flake is flipping the script on Democrat Richard Carmona just as he surges in the Arizona Senate contest. Flake’s attack ads have raised questions about Carmona’s treatment of women, forcing the former U.S. surgeon general to play defense and address the issue in debates, press releases, news conferences and his own campaign ads.

Halloween spending becomes

Homemade costumes and trick-or-treating? That's for amateurs. Halloween has morphed into an all-out spending spree, as the business of fear has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. The nation's largest retail trade association projects that would-be ghosts, zombies and vampires will spend a record $8 billion this year. Only during the December holiday season do consumers spend more (more than $500 billion). Derwood resident Denny Carter, though, says Halloween is his most expensive holiday. He estimates his total Halloween tab will surpass $1,300 -- with the majority of that going toward his annual Halloween party.

The moonbats are melting down. They look at the polls, they see Romney ahead, and they react the only way they know how — badly. An outbreak of Bush Derangement Syndrome, a mental disorder previously believed to have been eradicated in 2009, was observed last week at Hofstra University. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, the tough street kid from St. Sebastian’s and Harvard, challenges Tagg Romney, that wimp from Belmont Hill, to a fistfight. Preppie-on-preppie crime. Ann Romney is badgered on “The View” about Mormonism, by yentas who would never dare say anything negative about, say, Islam.

TAMPA -- On a Sunday morning during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, operators at a satellite tracking radar site reported a missile had been launched from Cuba and was heading toward Tampa. Projected impact: 18 miles from MacDill Air Force Base. The Strategic Air Command on Oct. 28, 1962, was on the highest alert in history: DEFCON 2, one step short of imminent war. The president and Pentagon feared a surprise attack, and that's exactly what the missile rocketing toward Tampa appeared to be. But none of the command's bombers or missiles was launched. The report was false;

The White House scrambled late Saturday to deny a New York Times report claiming Iran has agreed to meet directly with U.S. officials to discuss its nuclear program, sending New York Times editors rushing to quietly but substantially revise their initial reporting on a key foreign policy issue for the second time in as many months. According to the Times, which anonymously quoted senior administration officials, Iran told diplomats it wanted to wait until after the November presidential election to put plans for the meeting in motion. “It has the potential to help Mr. Obama make the case

Obama plans ‘around

President Obama will spend 48 hours campaigning “around the clock” in a frenzied effort to court swing-state voters two weeks before Election Day. “The America Forward Tour,” beginning Wednesday, will take the president through six swing states and three time zones during a 48-hour period, the campaign said in a statement on Saturday. Obama will hold “late night grass roots” events, “meet with volunteers” and “talk to undecided voters” in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Wednesday and Thursday. Those six swing states will be critical in determining the outcome of the 2012 election.

The Chronicle's backing of Barack Obama in 2008 broke a 44-year string of endorsing Republican candidates for president. Like so many others, we were captivated by the Illinois senator's soaring rhetoric and energized by his promise to move American politics beyond partisan gridlock and into an era of hope and change. It hasn't happened. Four years later, President Obama's deeds have failed to match his words, much less his specific vows to cut the national debt by half and bring the nation's unemployment rate to 6 percent. As Texans, it is a particular vexation
