| "Can't wait for the leftards' misery when Romney wins. It will be like eating foie gras to the sound of trumpets." @jamesdelingpole on Twitter last week. Well: I think that's what they call a 'hostage to fortune.' And, of course, I don't remotely blame all the leftards who've been blowing raspberries in response.[Snip]On the evidence of Obama's four years in power so far, what exactly have they seen that augurs so well for the next four years of the American presidency? Was it his resolute decision to sacrifice the lives of four brave men in Benghazi, perhaps? Or was it

America is lost.
I'm embarrassed that this nation would elect, and re-elect Obama, an America-hating Marxist.
America is no longer that shining beacon on the hill and the best hope for freedom and humanity. With Obama in command, America moves to global irrelevance and economic ruin.

Like we used to say among the grunts in Viet Nam to every inexplicable misfortune perpetrated by Washington politicians and suck up senior officers: DON'T MEAN NUTHIN'
Evil and incompetence always win.
Deal with it and move on.
If you're hoping for America to be the shining city on the hill spoken of by our last decent President in the early '80's, get over it. That America disappeared decades ago.
Accept reality - you will fare much better.

This fight IS NOT over!
I don’t yet know how best to proceed... but I do know this; For me, this fight is NOT over! I may not have that many years left in me... but some of my friends do... and their children do... and their soon to be grandchildren do... and other Americans whom I do not even know do... and it’s just too important to let that go without continuing to fight!
There is simply nowhere else in this world to go... and I WILL NOT give up this fight while I can still draw breath!!
As yet, I have no solid plan of action... but I WILL formulate one and I WILL prosecute it with everything that I have left in me — so help me God!! I will not give up this fight for Freedom started some 236 years ago by Patriots marching through the snow in their bare feet!!!
All the sacrifice... all the blood... all the misery... This can NOT have been spent in vain!!!
So help me God, I mean this with all my heart; I WILL NOT GIVE UP THIS FIGHT!
Nick

I don't anything in our history tops a president declaring war on part of our country, resulting in the death of 100s or thousands of her citizens, all while trashing the Constitution.
If we can come back from that, we can come back from the pipsqueak!

Thanks, OP, for posting this. My friends who think I'm nuts to worry about the dollar now will be getting a link to this. Delingpole says it like it is:
Problem is, the money has run out. It happened quite a while back and all our governments and their corporatist and bankster allies have been doing these last few years is finding ever more ingenious ways of disguising the fact. Just so long as they can keep the scam going just that little bit longer, that's all they care about.
I don't think we can last four more years without our dollar failing. Especially if there is a rogue nuke attack. But, yes we must fight. And we must have a candidate ready to take over who knows how to lead like Reagan did, rebuilding us from the ashes. Gov Sarah Palin could do it -- but we'll have to see what the press is like by then. They may be broken without advertisers to pay their cushy salaries.

2nd term:
You Didn't Build That
Revenge
It Never Worked (free enterprise)
Excepting the greedy racist House in its way, the Left sees its long-awated golden opportunity to force a Glorious Socialist Revolution upon the USA. Its century-long struggle was never about anything else, and they will not pass up this once in a lifetime chance to destroy America (for the "common good"). We will be seeing Obama's true colors, and they will all be dark red.

Don't buy gold except for maybe vintage collector coins. There's a provision in the death bill that allows the goobermint to confiscate any other form of gold and these transactions are reported to the goobermint. Vintage coins are not. I don't know about silver.

Well, Mr. Delingpole, at least your prime minister is happy. He has a fellow traveler to work with.
In the past, I have looked at history to calm myself. We, the USA, the free world, have been in bad positions before and worked our way out of them. I, somehow, don't feel any comfort in reviewing history anymore.

Proudly marching through the streets of York with cheers ringing in their ears, the men and women of 2nd Signal Regiment--recently returned from Afghanistan--were greeted by thousands of people lining the streets to welcome them home. In the hours after the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby by alleged Islamist terrorists in Woolwich, south-east London, on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defence had advised servicemen and women not to go out in uniform--an order that was promptly ignored by soldiers who refused to be cowed and almost immediately rescinded. 300 members of the Armed Forces were cheered by well-wishers who waved

People taking statins face an increased risk of developing diabetes, warn researchers. They found a 10 percent extra risk linked to taking simvastatin--the most commonly prescribed anti-cholesterol drug--which rose to 22 percent for those taking atorvastatin. Previous research into a suspected link with statins found a 9 percent rise in the chance of patients developing diabetes, but the new study looked at specific brands of drug. [Snip] Researchers identified 471,250 patients with no history of diabetes and who were newly treated with a statin, just over half were women and all were at least 66 years old. Statin therapy

The September 11 attacks on America was by no means the first act of terrorism carried out in the name of Islam. The 1993 World Trade Center bombings killed six, while the 1998 US embassy bombings of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, left 223 people dead. However, the scale, horror and repercussions of 9/11--2,996 people dead, the World Trade Center destroyed and the Pentagon attacked--set it apart as a seminal moment that changed the course of history. [Snip] Subsequently, Islamist terrorists attacked Madrid in 2004, London in 2005 and Mumbai in 2008, among many other lethal and devastating

Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the controversial search warrant that identified Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen as a ‘possible co-conspirator’ in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, an unnamed law enforcement official has claimed. Rosen, who has not been charged in the case, was the target of a search warrant that enabled Justice Department investigators to secretly seize his private emails after an FBI agent said he had ‘asked, solicited and encouraged … (a source) to disclose sensitive United States internal documents and intelligence information.’ The reporter´s emails were

The far right English Defence League last night declared itself “at war” with extremist elements of the Islamic faith. Members have already clashed with police and attacked mosques following the Woolwich atrocity. But in a disturbing statement last night it vowed to campaign to “cut the cancer of Islamic extremism” from society. It said on its website: “The terrible events in Woolwich were a reminder of something very few are willing to accept: we are at war. We need to clamp down on extremist preachers and the mosques that continue to host them.”

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st?

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
