Education ´Change Agent´
Michelle Rhee:
The Left Connection

American Thinker, by M. Catharine Evans and Ann Kane

Original Article

Posted By:magnante, 11/19/2012 8:08:34 AM

Who would have thought the ubiquitous education superstar Michelle Rhee would be sitting next to Andy Stern on the board of the Broad Foundation? Yes, that´s right. The Republican governors´ siren and CEO of StudentsFirst works alongside the former SEIU leader, who´s visited the White House more than anyone else in the past four years and who said "workers of the world, unite" back in 2007. (snip) no one (except us) on the conservative side appears to be getting the con game going on with Rhee and Broad and, of course, the Obama regime

Very important article. I could never figure how someone of her ethnicity could get hired to run the D.C. schools. Urban schools are very much union halls and the school boards and teachers union play on the same team. Rhee would have had to be cleared by the politburo to be considered for the D.C. job.
And a seat on those leftist billionaire foundation boards can help keep up a girl´s standard of living.

The left has to lie and be sneaky. No one would follow them otherwise. These folks play for keeps.

When is the right going to realize this is ALL OUT WAR! And that we are losing the war because we are not doing anything to fight back. They have moles in our camp but we have nothing. We are acting like we have to play by the rules while the left is using every dirty-underhanded tactic possible. There won´t be more of us than them much longer unless we get on the ball NOW!!

But no...we are just too busy to worry about it. Let someone else deal with it. We have too many responsibilities...we have work & our daily routines, and then we HAVE to have TV time to watch our ball games, sitcoms & reality shows. The Kardashians are more important than saving our country. Ah, who needs freedom? Besides, it´s just too big for me...wah wah wahh!...

NO, it isn´t! Are we just going to sit on our butts and wait for someone to save us??? It won´t happen. We ALL must TAKE action now!!! We must all become leaders! We MUST organize or all is lost and all those men who fought for our freedom died in vain.

Amazingly, the article also failed to mention that Rhee is MARRIED to Kevin Johnson, the very liberal Mayor of Sacramento, who I believe was investigated a few years back for misuse (aka, embezzlement) of city funds, but of course, he was cleared.

This ties into concerns about our education system that Rush has been talking about recently. Hope he, Mark Levin, et al., see this.

Or Rhee was used as a dupe...We´ll invite her and make it look like she is in agreement...we control the agenda the reporting. Who will believe her when she says she disagreed?

A very common Lib trick. Best way to handle this is to stay miles away from their chrade!

After Waiting for Superman came out, a local talk show host was singing her praises down here in So. Florida. They contacted someone (I don´t remember his name but he was a black man in the DC area) trying to explain that Michelle Rhee was not who she appeared to be and the talk show host refused to give this guy a good hearing. I heard enough to believe the guy so this story doesn´t surprise me at all.

Sweat not -- the GOP Establishment and the Washington Conservative Mandarins are fine with it. Besides, they -- just like the Liberal Establishment and the Millionaire Left -- send their kids to private schools, so what´s the problem?

Don´t write off all the charter schools. I´ve just started tutoring math in a charter school in Colorado Springs. The kids I´ve worked with have all been tossed out of regular public schools for bad behavior, and they´ve improved their behavior and their math performance. Additionally, from my chatting with the principal and the other instructors I´ve worked with, the staff is conservative, many ex-military, and disappointed with 0bama´s reelection.

To be fair, Michelle Rhee did not sell herself as a conservative. She was always a reformer and made a lot of progressives angry because she wouldn´t follow the union line all the time. She took on the DC establishment (and ultimately lost) and said she would put the students -- not the unions, teachers, establishment, herself -- first. Made a lot of enemies.

The Republican establishment GAVE the education system to the left. Remember when W left Teddy write No Child Left Behind? Good move, nice and bipartisan.
The media and Dems then used it to bash W for five years. I did not know any of this about Rhee. I am really stunned.

Hey, liberals! Obama thinks you are stupid. Yeah, he really does. He knew Benghazi was terrorism before he didn´t know it was terrorism. Addressing a question about Benghazi in his press conference Monday, May 13, 2013, Obama´s "logic" really made an impression: "The Day after it happened I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism." (snip) Leaving behind Obama´s initial certitude about Benghazi having been a terror attack, not only did he not know what had happened because it wasn´t clear

What person ever says what he really knows at a funeral? Eulogies bearing little or no resemblance to the deceased or to the facts are trotted out by people who are often bad actors, who though they know better, lie anyway. It´s almost acceptable behavior. But any truth about the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christ Stevens and three other Americans appears to have been put six feet under as far as our current administration is concerned. (snip)Did they love Chris Stevens the way Brutus loved Caesar?

Somewhere, Andrew Breitbart is smiling. You can almost see the metaphorical light bulbs going on in bubbles over the heads of liberal media figures. Obama loyalists are expressing outrage at the subpoenaing of the phone records of 20 lines serving over a hundred AP reporters. The timing could not be better.(snip) the AP scandal´s significance entirely lies with its effect on the media´s mindset on Obama. They have been cheerleading for him for six years,

The Kermit Gosnell Verdict
American Thinker, by Drew Belsky    Original Article

Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted yesterday on three counts of first-degree murder, not to mention a slew of other charges, including involuntary manslaughter (for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar), infanticide, and abortions past Pennsylvania´s legal limit. (snip)in a culture dominated by the 24-hour news cycle, it will be easy for Americans to consider the abortion issue closed with the Gosnell verdict. The pro-life movement´s challenge, as [Lila] Rose says, is to keep the American people focused on how common Gosnell-like practices are in the abortion industry, and on all the unsung victims abortion

   

 

  


 
Benghazi and Obama´s Legitimacy
American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 5/13/2013 11:02:50 AM     Post Reply
Did Barack Obama in effect steal the election in 2012? It is impossible to know, of course, how matters would have played it if Americans had been told the truth about Benghazi. And what if the IRS had not hobbled conservative nonprofits (and therefore the movement) with extra scrutiny and consequent delay and expenses? But there can be no doubt that Obama helped himself by being able to claim that Al Qaeda was "on the run" and with an assist from Candy Crowley make Mitt Romney look bad on when he criticized Obama´s anti-terror policies.

Barack Obama and
the End of an Era
American Thinker, by Steve McCann    Original Article

The re-election of Barack Obama is the high water mark and the end of an era. The period 1960 to 2014 will go down in American history as the era of never-ending crusades leading to the decline and potential downfall of the United States. During this time frame America has been inundated with one cause after another. The essential civil rights movement and the tragically successful Viet Nam protests spawned numerous causes, among them: feminism, environmentalism, global warming, and gay rights. For each generation born after 1940 it has been a rite of passage

The Three Whistleblowers at the Benghazi hearing spoke softly, but with the emotional wallop of The Three Tenors. They told the truth, and it blasted like thunder through Obama´s tissue palace of lies. Listening to these strong, solemn men, I heard the sound of old America: a place of hardworking people who love their country and believe in something bigger than their own power. (snip) But today, their America is forced to serve a different god: a cold, smiling man with a hollow heart and hands that get bloodier by the day.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
