| Democrat Elizabeth Warren has framed her race in Massachusetts against Sen. Scott Brown around integrity and intellect, as if she's a cut above other pols. In fact, she's beneath even the sleaziest. On top of fraudulently claiming minority Indian status without any documented ancestry, the Harvard law professor has now been busted practicing law in Massachusetts without a state license. Worse, her client list includes the type of corporations that Ms. Populist has demonized on the campaign trail as greedy polluters and exploiters of the "little guy." Turns out working-class champion Warren in 1995 hired herself out as a legal gun

Warren is an inherently corrupt and dishonest person along with being a super hypocrite. In a sane,moral world,these things matter but when your banner is big government intervention and redistribution,all those things are magically erased.I guess you can't disbar someone who doesn't have a law license to begin with.

Am I the only person who is tired of frauds in the U.S. Government?
The "natural born" clause in the U.S. Constitution should be re-inforced with some mechanism whereby a candidate must prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, who they are and that they are qualified to fill an office.
Oh, you say there is a mechanism? It's called vetting, you say? Ok, so now we have to vett the vetters? And we wonder why our country is going to "hell in a handbasket"?

BUT .... it's too late to replace this amazingly corrupt Harvard professor in her campaign for the U.S. Senate. So, even though she lied about being a minority to secure a spot at Harvard and she lied about being licensed to practice law, she still DEFINES the word Democrat. ... This is who they are. Catch her if you can.

Lies, fraud, and corruption are resume enhancers to the gimme, gimme, gimme demonrats in MA. Actually, that applies across the country.
A good example is Barry going to Republican Governor states and claiming HE'S the reason the state is in such good shape. Worse yet, it appears the dumb voters actually believe it.

I see lots of Brown signs, even as Howie says they are routinely being stolen. I know this is true - in MA any Republican sign is always stolen at least one (mine were).
MA independents need to come through for Scott - Granny is too hideous to contemplate on any level.

In the future, when gauging just how badly someone is lying instead of assigning the statement a given number of Pinocchios, it should be given an equal number of Warrens instead!!!

Practicing law without a license is a felony, I believe. I am shocked that the Harvard Law School faculty, most of whom are licensed to practice law, don't file charges against her, and demand her termination. (Tenure does not protect a professor from moral turpitude charges.)

Our gracious site hostess notes, "First she's not an Indian. Now she's not a lawyer."
What next? She shouldn't be using the Ladies' Room?
#3: The states' Secretaries of State determine who is qualified to be on the ballot. Apparently, none of them stood up in 2008, and the Dems went after these offices hard in 2010. I don't know the R-D count.
#10: Ah, but they all see themselves as being in service to the Highest Calling -- "leading the [poor, dumb, unable to live without the hand-holding of their 'betters'] 'less fortunate' to the Utopia only 'Progressives' can find" [read -- more power in the hands of the Left ]. "Progressives" would all be running around with copies of Bastiat and wearing Adam Smith t-shirts if they thought free markets would put more power in their hands. One. Thing. Matters. Power. Power in their hands.

The most disturbing aspect of the Warren revelations is that there are still about 50% of the electorate that will nevertheless going to vote for her. They just don't care. And it's the same with Obama.
What this means is that this country is now about evenly divided between the law-abiding and the lawless. Laws, truth, values mean something for one group, but absolutely nothing for the other.
It's Zombie time in America. And what happens when there are more of them than there are of us?

According to a Massachusetts poll published last Sunday, Brown is running 57-35 ahead of Warren with independents. I hope this is true, because there are more registered independents in Mass. than Democrats.
She just got the endorsement of the Mass. Firefighters Assoc., which is disappointing but predictable, I guess.
Her most ardent supporters, who self-identify as socialists, simply don't care what she says or does, or how hypocritical she is. It's her agenda they love.

I asked my father, an attorney who has practiced in a number of states and who is no fan of this administration, Elizabeth Warren, etc. This is no big deal - these licensing arrangements are state-by-state and it isn't unusual for exemptions to be made for law professors who occasionally charge for their services but who are primarily engaged as professors. He thinks this is no big deal. I was disappointed, too.

She is NOT a complete fraud. She is a complete Democrat. She exemplifies what Democrats stand for: lie, cheat, steal, repeat. Of course she used a false claim to get her Harvard job. Of course she practiced law without a license--laws are for little people. Of course she published a plagarized recipe in a false Indian cookbook. Of course she phonied up some data to write a book.
An old quote from "Millenium": "This is who we are. This is what we do."
So the citizens of MA will vote for Liz: where else in the world can you get elected Mayor of Boston while dead?

#39, I'm pretty sure that why neither Brown nor the conservative press have jumped on the licensing issue and run with it. Warren was "of counsel" in federal court. If she had a New Jersey or Texas license at the time she was involved in those cases, then she's in the clear on that matter. Howie Carr's column yesterday was about...stolen yard signs. You can be sure it would have been about Warren's illegal practice if that were the case.
There's plenty of other ammunition to use against her. It's vitally important that Brown win this race.

When the constitution is not followed and illegal things like affirmative action are permitted, the whole honest hard working community gets the shaft. In this country it should not matter who their parents were, it’s their actions and character that the Constitution was written to protect. Open the door to illegal actions you have to expect it to cause even more illegal actions.

Mrs Warren typifies what she is. A carpetbagger, unqualified, prevaricator, cheat and arrogant. She is so untrustworthy that even the democrat controlled senate would not confirm her, so they decided to buy her "Teddy's seat" Very appropriate, he was expelled from Harvard for cheating and daddy had to buy his way back in, and she had to lie and cheat to get in.

The Party of Envy, whatever name it uses in a given nation or era, will individually rob you on the street or in your home. When given the chance, they will assert a religious right to rob you, because that's "what Jesus would do." In the political realm, they will vote for any liar, cheat or murderer, as long as he (or she, in this case) shares the ill-gotten gains with the "oppressed."
On a jury, these same people will vote for huge awards against any "deep pocket" defendant, and will vote "innocent" if any of the "oppressed classes" is the accused.
This is a culture war, and the future of civilization is at stake.

Poster #6, I've got an idea on how to stop the theft of those signs. It involves anchoring the signs so they are difficult to pull up and using honed-edged items along the base of the plastic board. It would only have to happen once and that would be the end of sign stealing for the whole state.

Democrats fell far short of winning the House in 2012, an otherwise banner year for the party, and many are privately glum about taking back the chamber in 2014. But that grim immediate outlook raises a far more troubling longer-term prospect for Democrats: that the newly drawn congressional lines have tilted the electoral playing field so decisively in the GOP’s favor that the party could control the House through 2020. That this, in other words, could be the Democrats’ Lost Decade. Three of the past four elections have produced partisan upheaval, so political forecasting must be approached with caution.

Men´s Wearhouse gave no reason for Zimmer´s departure -- which surfaced on Wednesday, just hours before the company postponed its annual shareholders meeting. A company spokesman declined comment but said Zimmer´s departure would not affect operations.

I’ll be meeting with them and what I want to do is to set up and structure a national conversation not only about these two programs but also about the general problem of these big data sets because this is not going to be restricted to government entities. The board Obama is referring to was created in 2004. Nominations and confirmation delays prevented the board from being particularly effective,

Obama never fails to enlist children in his secularist crusades, whether at home or abroad. Last week he trotted out two nine-year-old girls to introduce him at a White House event celebrating “LGBT Pride Month.” “We could not be prouder of Zea and Luna for the introduction,” he said. “Zea and Luna are here with their moms, and also I think with Grandma and Grandpa — correct? And so feel free to congratulate them afterwards for their outstanding introduction.” Zea and Luna proved useful to Obama not only as props for LGBT rights but also as mouthpieces for his gun-control agenda:

With dozens of Democratic lawmakers struggling to live on a food stamp budget to protest GOP cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a Republican staffer says he is living on a SNAP budget without problems. Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman’s communications director and agriculture policy advisor, Donny Ferguson, says he has been able to eat well on $27.58 for a week, less than the $31.50 House Democrats have limited themselves to for their “SNAP Challenge.” “I wanted to personally experience the effects of the proposed cuts to food stamps. I didn’t plan ahead or buy strategically,

The ongoing saga of Edward Snowden has at least been moving in the right direction for President Obama. Snowden may once have tried to position himself as a whistleblower, but he has since devolved into ingratiating himself with authoritarian regimes by plying them with American national security secrets. While Pete is correct that the NSA story seems to be hurting voters’ opinion of Obama’s trustworthiness, Americans are by now realizing that they would be foolish to go the other extreme and place that trust in Snowden. It is also (understandably) distracting the public’s attention from the scandals that preceded it,

In two contexts the Obama administration has revealed its complete confusion about high-stakes negotiations and the interrelation of soft and hard power. In Syria, after dragging his feet for two years, trying to fudge over his own “red line” and coming up with a half-hearted move to give small arms to the rebels, President Obama discovers that he can’t budge Russia, which has backed Bashar al-Assad to the hilt. The Post reports that at the Group of 8 summit: Obama has demanded that Assad relinquish power as part of any negotiated peace settlement, a condition Putin rejects.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
