Rick Perry at ease,
deep in the heart of Texas

American Thinker, by Russ Vaughn

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/14/2013 11:12:28 PM

When Rick Perry flubbed his presidential chances so badly on the national stage, there were many among his supporters who were bewildered at his seeming inability to transfer his many successes in Texas to the national stage. Although just as frustrated as those folks were, some of us were not quite as baffled because there was a suspicion within us that Rick Perry simply didn´t want the job nor the heat and heartbreak it entails. There was a sense that Perry was simply contented with being the popular and longest serving governor of the world´s 14th or so largest economy.

Our gov does make me smile. I sleep better knowing he understands Texas values & I can save my disgust for the most vile federal administration ever.

What a great article. I join Russ in thinking that the Perrys would not change places with anyone.

In a normal world,Perry would have won in a landslide,regardless of flubs.If jobs and the economy/taxes were really the number one issue,he would have won.I think people backed out of supporting Perry because they were afraid Obama would eat his lunch in debates.Personality trumped results.

The US has become the world´s biggest safety net in human history and jobs are really irrelevant any more.The social media is an outlet to see who can be the most depraved,like rooting for a cop killer.Being part of this cult is a comfort zone for losers.

To me,Texas and Texans have their own personality more than any other state.It´s a blast from the past culture which is leading their economic boom and the left hates that model more than anything. To them,it´s yesterday´s thinking and not up to modern times.The economic success is a fluke of luck.

There´s other areas of the country now,where they´re making white kids ashamed of their race.The people behind something like this are the worse scum imaginable.They´re conditioning people to be future giveaway artists out of racial guilt.They´re counting on these kids to go to college and infiltrate the government with a give away mentality.

I always believed he got into the national race on a whim, an impulse, and neither enjoyed the effort nor yearned for the Oval Office. Stay home, Rick. You fit just right in our Governor´s Mansion.

Any and every Republican aspiring to the Presidency WILL BE Palinized by the AHM.
I suppose we can now update the term to "Rubio-ed"

GOP widening Sebelius
shakedown probe
Hot Air, by Ed Morrissey    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 5/24/2013 8:41:11 PM     Post Reply
A day after insurers complained that Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration had pressured them to fund Enroll America, a House committee sent them a request for more information on the matter. The Energy and Commerce Committee had already begun looking into whether Sebelius had broken any laws by attempting to get donations from an industry that will be heavily regulated by her under ObamaCare, and now The Hill reports this new request as a widening of that probe (via Rare): House Republicans have widened their probe of Health and Human Services

   

 

  


 
Obama signals retreat in
the fight against terrorism
Power Line, by Paul Mirengoff    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 5/23/2013 11:23:10 PM     Post Reply
President Obama delivered an address today at the National Defense University called “The Future of our Fight Against Terrorism.” Actually, part of the speech was about the past, including much self-congratulation and some shots at President Bush. This part of the speech is revisionist rubbish. As Max Boot explains: Obama said, for example, that after he came into office, “we unequivocally banned torture, affirmed our commitment to civilian courts, worked to align our policies with the rule of law, and expanded our consultations with Congress.” Umm, actually all of that happened in Bush’s second term.

Obama’s Speech: Hamlet
as Wartime Leader

In seventy lugubrious paragraphs, President Obama today asked America whether as commander-in-chief he should bomb terrorists. He concluded that sometimes he should, and sometimes he shouldn’t. He couldn’t quite make up his mind. Therefore, he would appoint a panel to advise him. Mr. Obama has already authorized more than 200 such drone bombings. His staff has bragged that before ordering a bombing, he personally reviews who lives and who dies. Imagine if Prime Minister Churchill or President Truman had appeared on television to announce an advisory panel before bombing our enemy. We would be appalled

Cars, people in the Skagit River
after I-5 Bridge collapse

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. -- The Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River collapsed Thursday evening, injuring an unknown number of people. Both the northbound and southbound portions of the bridge dropped into the river sometime before 7 p.m., according to Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis. Francis said several cars were on the bridge when it collapsed, and some are now in the water. Bart Treece with the Washington State Department of Transportation was unsure when the bridge was last inspected. "All of our bridges in the area are pretty old," he said.

Fox News’s Roger Ailes responds
to Justice Dept. investigation
Washington Post, by Erik Wemple    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 5/23/2013 11:00:19 PM     Post Reply
Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

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

   

 



 
Arrests of 2 in British soldier’s
slaughter signal wider
Islamist terror plot
Washington Times, by Peter Carvill and Ruby Russell    Original Article

LONDON — British police late Thursday arrested a man and a woman in connection with the butchering of a British soldier on a London street, as anti-Muslim protests sprang up across the country. The arrests fueled speculation that the gruesome knife attack Wednesday — the first successful terrorist act in Britain since 2005 — was part of a wider plot, and prompted questions about the prevalence of Islamic extremism in the country and how to combat it. British officials moved quickly to increase security in London and other major cities Thursday as police raided

Criminality Appears To Lie at the
Heart of the IRS Scandal

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? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

   

 

  


 
Mark Levin Tears Into Obama: ‘Flat-

Nothing About IRS Targeting

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.”

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
