| Republican nominee Mitt Romney is giving a highly pumped-up foreign policy speech hammering President Barack Obama on the recent attacks in Libya. Here's the full text of Romney's speech: "I particularly appreciate the introduction from my good friend and tireless campaign companion, Gov. Bob McDonnell. He is showing what conservative leadership can do to build a stronger economy.

It was an excellent speech. If you missed it, you can probably catch it at the C-SPAN website.
It occurred to me that Romney's speech today sets up Ryan nicely to debate foreign policy with Biden.

#4 Not a problem. I am a very political person and I baked homemade cookies just yesterday. You can do both. The problem with hilary is she's probably not good at either. obama is the first black president and sucks. He will make it very hard for the next black to run for president. But if you say that you are labeled a racist. I am sure if hilary had won many people would be attacking those who would not vote for her as a masoginist. We can't win except by voting for Romney. Then hill and obama will both be gone. And while we are at it get rid of Suzanne Rice too.

One of best lines: the Administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists who use violence to impose their dark ideology on others, especially women and girls; who are fighting to control much of the Middle East today; and who seek to wage perpetual war on the West.
In other words, the passivity of leading from behind is actually fueling more violence.

#8 is right. Killing Bin Laden did little to help the ongoing war against Islamist terrorism. This was G. W. Bush's understanding back when the Democrats smeared him for focusing on Iraq instead of capturing Bin Laden. Small wonder they've been doing a victory dance since the seals killed him: they were stupid enough to believe that this was enough to win the war, but President Bush knew better.

Ok, so I like Romney overly well but...
It empresses in the tune "...he who hath clean hands and a pure heart..."
And next Paul Ryan who also practices his own religion with similar clean hands and a pure heart towards serving his fellow man.
Well anyway, I look forward to Paul, a clear-eyed and open-hearted, Paul Ryan to face old Joe in the VP debate, an old Joe who often forgets to lie and spin the admin's very indefensible lines? And when he does, doesn't do that well?
Does old Joe need a stiff drink to face Paul? Or where will his achille's heel be? Something in the air?

For all intents and purposes by the time the CIA caught up with bin Laden, and the SEALS rightly took bin Laden out, it appears that bin Laden had retired from the al-Qaeda leadership and was just out there awaiting his fate.
al-Qaeda is still out there and is dangerous. To believe otherwise one would have to be a moron no matter what the Obama crew is falsely telling the nation to get past the November election.

Perhaps the plan IS to incite the muslims to violence a day or two before the election, thereby giving zippy the "authority" to postpone elections during a time of conflict.

cspan is hitting my main irritated nerves - they let the liars talk forever if they call in as a Pubbie and then talk like a dim. They also allow the blacks to spout their drivel on and on. They also cut off anyone disagreeing with any caller and so to soothe nerves, I am giving up on cspan unless Mitt is on.

Hours after the Lockerbie atrocity, Mrs Thatcher was wading through the carnage wrought by terrorists over a small Scottish town, paying her condolences to the bereaved. It had been a long and harrowing day, but when she arrived back in London late that night she still found time to phone me at home. Her voice was anxious, kind. She asked: ‘How is Ray, dear?’ The day before, my husband had suffered a serious accident and Mrs Thatcher had been characteristically solicitous, offering her car to run me home.

The two Obama supporters traveled to the communist country ostensibly to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary and tour the city of Havana, but their trip has sparked criticism by some Republicans and speculation that it might have violated U.S. law.(Snip) White House press secretary Jay Carney deferred questions on Monday about the Beyoncé trip to Treasury.

Tours of the White House itself remained canceled because the cuts have left Secret Service short on manpower to staff them. But there will be enough agents to staff the garden tours, the official said. The tours are slated to happen this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests will be able to view the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden and South Lawn of the White House,

Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer has signed a law providing strong new restrictions on the use of so-called "seclusion rooms" in schools – closet-sized rooms where children with behavioral disabilities such as autism were being locked up as punishment. "It is chilling to imagine an Arizona school child being shut away in a padded room, no larger than a closet, for hours on end," Brewer said after signing the law Friday. "There has to be a better way." With the new law, Arizona will join more than 30 other states that impose rules on the restraint of students in public schools.

The report ranked the 14 largest U.S. airlines based on on-time arrivals, mishandled bags, consumer complaints and passengers who bought tickets but were turned away because flights were over booked.(Snip) United Airlines, whose consumer complaint rate nearly doubled last year, had the worst performance.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Writing in the blog The Review, J.P. Freire performs a devastating examination of how the Associated Press eulogized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday versus how the news service examined the legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez upon his death. What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
