CPAC Is The ‘Militant Wing’
Of The Republican Party

Newsbusters, by Jeffrey Meyer Original Article

Nothing is more amusing than having a liberal “columnist” comment on the state of the conservative movement. It seems as though Politico’s Roger Simon is one such liberal who feels it is his duty to trash conservatism on a regular basis. Speaking with MSNBC’s Craig Melvin on March 14, Simon commented that CPAC is “the militant wing of the Republican Party.” Simon, who criticizes conservatives on a regular basis believes that the majority of speakers at CPAC are “on the extremes of American politics.” [See video after jump.

David Bossie, president of the conservative group Citizens United, said that if Republicans are to reverse their electoral fortunes and score much-needed political victories, establishment consultants such as Karl Rove need to “get out of the way.” “If the Republican establishment leadership can just get out of the way of the conservative movement and of the Tea Party and give people something to look forward to – a positive image of America, a positive vision for the future of America economically, from a foreign policy,

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said on Thursday that the nation’s current debt of $16.7 trillion is “not endangering” the country, adding that “some debt is not a bad idea” and that he and other congressional Democrats “don’t think there’s a problem.” Conyers and other liberal Democrats spoke at a Capitol Hill press conference about their initiative to compel Congress to cancel the across-the-board budget cuts (sequester) of $1.2 trillion over 10 years, which actually are reductions in the rate of increase in federal spending and amount

WASHINGTON- Washington believes Tehran is more than "a year or so" away from developing a nuclear weapon, President Barack Obama said ahead of his visit to Israel. "We think that it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon," Obama told Israel´s Channel 2 in an interview ahead of Obama´s three-day trip beginning Wednesday that will also take him to the West Bank and Jordan. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who will meet with Obama in Jerusalem Wednesday, told the United Nations in September Israel believed Iran would be close to

´God Particle´: Six big consequences

Physicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world´s largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass. Discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where protons zip at near light-speed around a 17-mile-long (27 kilometers) underground ring beneath Switzerland and France, the Higgs boson particle is the last undiscovered piece of the puzzle predicted by the Standard Model, the reigning theory of particle physics.

Government watchdog group Cause of Action yesterday released transparency grades for each of the Obama Administration´s executive departments, plus the Environmental Protection Agency. For an administration that prides itself on transparency, the results were not good. The average grade that Cause of Action gave Obama Administration departments was a C-, with two cabinet-level institutions - the Department of Defense and the Department of Commerce - receiving failing grades. "President Obama himself actually made a pledge that his Administration would be the most transparent in history,"

A top Republican senator has come out in support of same-sex marriage, in a shocking reversal that also reveals his son is gay. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who was a finalist to be Mitt Romney´s running mate last year, said he wants "all of my children" to benefit from marriage like he has. "I´ve come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do," Portman told CNN in an interview released Friday.

The world is full of Roman Catholics who long ago stopped following the dogma, doctrine and medieval sexual dictates of the church. But they never lost faith in Francesco, the merchant’s son who spoke to wolves, slept on dirt floors and dined with lepers. That the new pope would take the name of Francis, in honor of the saint from the Umbrian town of Assisi, is the most radical first move by a pontiff in some time. The 12th century mystic is the nature saint, patron of the environment, the poor, the dispossessed.

Argentina´s president Cristina Kirchner has caused outrage by saying that diabetes afflicts the rich because ´they eat a lot and live sedentary lives´.

Democrats Use Budget Gimmicks
To Hide Spending

Investor´s Business Daily, by John Merline Original Article

In their first budget in four years, Senate Democrats claim to have crafted a plan that cuts federal spending a total of $975 billion over the next decade. "This budget cuts spending responsibly," said Senate Budget Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., this week. "There are no sacred cows; we put everything we can on the table." But an IBD review of the budget data shows that the Senate vastly overstates the size of its spending cuts. In fact, it could be that the Senate would, if enacted, increase federal spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.

The party city of Cancun, in Mexico, has been rocked after two gunmen, armed with a machine gun and a pistol, stormed a crowded bar and shot dead seven drinkers. As tens of thousands of American Spring Breakers partied across the city, the duo burst into The Mermaid bar, on the outskirts of town, and sprayed the room with bullets. A further four people were wounded in the attack in a working class area of the city which nestles on Mexico´s palm-fringed Caribbean coast. Public Safety Secretary Jesus Aiza says most of the victims belonged to a taxi drivers union.

The comments come just days after the US airline regulator approved its plan to redesign the lithium-ion batteries used on the plane. All 50 Dreamliners in operation were grounded earlier this year after batteries on some planes emitted smoke. Boeing said it had found a fix for the problem and had been carrying out tests on the proposed solution. Ray Connor, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said the timing of the start of commercial flight would depend on how fast the firm can "move through the certification process".

British people are too afraid to offend a "vocal and aggressive" section of the Muslim community who demand that their cultural values are accepted by wider society, according to a former adviser to Barack Obama. [Snip] The professor, a leading physicist and prominent atheist, threatened to walk out unless organisers agreed to let men and women sit together, which was eventually agreed - but was then astonished to find himself being accused of intolerance by angry members of the audience.

President Barack Obama´s bid to renew a ban against military-style assault weapons narrowly won the backing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday and headed to the full Senate, where it appears certain to fail. On a party line vote of 10-8, the Democratic-led panel approved a bill to renew a ban similar to one that expired in 2004. The measure would also limit high-capacity ammunition clips to 10 bullets.

You cannot use Karl Marx´s ideas to help the middle class. You can´t do it. Anyone who claims otherwise is stupid, ignorant, crazy, a liar, or some combination of the above. Even the laziest student can open a copy of the Communist Manifesto and read the first page, where Marx launches in to an attack on the middle class (the "bourgeoisie," as he calls them) -- an attack that continues to the end of his article. At no point does Marx say anything good about the middle class.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumors of the death of the Republican Party are greatly exaggerated. Why? One need only look to the past, present, and future to find the answers: The past: The Republican Party is rightly tagged the Grand Old Party (GOP) because it is remarkably resilient. After Franklin D. Roosevelt scored a stunning reelection victory in 1936, the GOP was left with 17 senators and 89 House members. But the party

President Obama intends to nominate in-your-face radical lawyer Thomas Perez as his next Secretary of Labor, according to media reports. (Snip) At DOJ, Perez led the Obama administration’s assault on voter ID laws last year.

CAIRO—President George W. Bush kept it simple in his short television address the evening of March 19, 2003: U.S. forces had begun their campaign to unseat Saddam Hussein, he said. The goals, he outlined in his first sentence, were straightforward: “to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” Some 522 words later he promised the result: “We will bring freedom to others and we will prevail.”

Granted, 38 long years have passed since I took Driver’s Ed as a full-fledged course of study. In the interim my main source of continuing education in this area has been the occasional helpful motorist rolling down his window to deliver an impassioned update on some particular rule of the road dear to his heart. This sort of commitment to being open to the input of others is a critical facet of a mature, successful life. The education of our youth is not always adequate to the moment of today.

In the Age of Obama, there are many viable candidates for the official title of Washington’s “Private Sector Enemy Number One.” You could make a strong case for the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration, and others, but my choice would be the Environmental Protection Agency. For over 20 years, I have gathered stories about ways in which the EPA has perpetrated misfeasance and malfeasance, misdeed, and mischief.

There are so many jaw-dropping moments in “The World According to Dick Cheney” that I’m sure to forget several of them. One comes right at the beginning, when interviewer and co-director R.J. Cutler asks the most “consequential” vice president in American history – that’s Cheney’s word – a series of softball questions to get him warmed up. Cheney looks undeniably older and thinner after his recent heart transplant (talk about jokes that write themselves!), and he does deliver a few minuscule nuggets of warm-and-fuzzy: Happiness is fly-fishing on the Snake River,

President Barack Obama is taking a multi-day tour of Arab flashpoints next week, where he will pressure Israeli Jews to appease politically energized Arabs in Egypt, Jordan and other countries. “It is obviously a good thing that the people in the region are seeking to express themselves democratically,” declared Ben Rhodes, the president’s deputy national security adviser for strategic communications. “Israel needs to take into account the changing dynamic and the need to reach out to public opinion across the region as it seeks to make progress on issues like Israeli-Palestinian peace and broader Arab-Israeli peace,’ he insisted.

Texas governor Rick Perry had harsh words for President Obama and his administration’s “hysteria” over the sequester during his speech this afternoon at CPAC. After poking fun at the decision to shut down White House tours, Perry’s remarks took a more serious turn. The former 2012 presidential candidate discussed the Department of Homeland Security’s release of undocumented immigrants, calling the move a “federally sponsored jailbreak” that “crossed a line from politics of spin to politics as a craven form of cynicism.” Perry said Texas is “a foreign country” compared to Washington, D.C. He cited his state’s surplus, balanced budget,
