Should the Secretary
of State be a dupe?

Power Line, by Paul Mirengoff

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 11/16/2012 5:50:43 AM

Following President Obama’s testy defense of Susan Rice, as if on cue, CBS News reports that it has obtained the CIA talking points given to Rice on September 15 regarding the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, four days earlier. According to CBS News, the talking points, which were also given to members of the House intelligence committee, make no reference to terrorism being a likely factor in the assault. So, as Obama previewed, Rice’s defense, if she is nominated to be Secretary of State, will be that she was just parroting her talking points.

Susan Rice represents the apogee of liberal arrogance, affirmative action, demographic entitlement, and national security suicide. We conservatives need to exact our revenge against an evil, evil regime that makes Hitler look like an amateur. These lying, thieving, race-hustling, vote stealing spend thrifts are the enemy of average, working Americans.

Not surprisingly,the left is making this a racial issue because Rice in black. Never mind that so was Condi.

If this woman was so willing to go on 5 TV shows to parrot the lies Obama´s handlers fed her,how would we know that´s not what she would do on other issues?

All these people are compulsive liars and cover up artists so it´s just a matter of picking your poison who who gets confirmed.If Obama pulled Rice,they´d be another lying creep to take her place.An honest person wouldn´t go near working for Obama.

On any given day,McCain and Grahamesty are heroes to the left by agreeing with them,now all of a sudden they´re closet racists for opposing and Obama stooge for a high ranking job.

CBS, you filthy anti-American sc um, you had this before the election but held it since you are committed to seeing America ´taken down several notches.´......which is the democratic party platform revealed.

A pox on your house.

This is a joke question, isn´t it? The present secretary of state has been a dupe and a foil for most of her adult life. Used by her husband and then farmed out to obama. Wonder who she will work for next? Rice´s treatment of the victims of darfur show that she is an immoral, ambitious woman who will do anything to further her career. True liberal women, useful(and disposable) tools of powerful men

This Libya stuff is too complicated. I just want my free stuff. Where can I get me an Obamaphone? Can someone pay my mortgage? I have some school loans that need to be paid, too. I feel tired, when does my free healthcare kick in?
Over 50% of the country are dupes and these investigations will never see the light of day.

Don´t you just love it when a group of lawyers come out and talk about others who are trained lawyers? Note how the language is always lawyerly, nothing more.

This means that one should immediately search for the "weasel hole" that lawyers always have at the ready!

Maybe the real game should be to discover why so many go to law school prior to entering politics and if we should have more who come from vastly different forms of education...

The sour winds of affirmative action have wafted the bewildered susan rice to a top position in government. She is not competent, but she is black.
So we are paying the costs of government imposed preferences, and there is no end in sight.
(I´m familiar with one medical school, which when it went the affirmative action admissions route, had to give the black students an extra year of studies. Think about that one.)

I believe in equal rights. And Rice has the right to be ripped a new one just like anyone else before a Senate investigatory committee. Sadly she is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No matter Obama is desperate not to have her put in the hot seat.

She was a willing dupe. Her first question should have been "Why me?" Benghazi was not in her area of responsibility, she knew nothing about it, and had to rely on whatever she was told. She should have declined, but could not resist getting face time on 5 (FIVE, count´em, five!) Sunday morning talk shows. It made her feel very important.

I still think that she and the Obama-ites saw a chance to give them cover in cooperating with Muslim countries to advance the UN effort to ban free speech related to criticizing the Muslim religion.

Border Security Games
American Spectator, by George H. Wittman    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 4/19/2013 6:20:00 AM     Post Reply
Miraculously the border between Mexico and Arizona has suddenly been declared substantially free of illegal crossers. Having announced last year that more illegal entrants had been caught and deported, the Department of Homeland Security recently has noted that the illegal immigration that previously had been such a problem for Arizona was now far reduced. Without questioning the actual statistics — which certainly could be done — the real issue is the political implication of these claims for the currently contemplated immigrant legalization programs. Supporters of the several proposals under consideration tend to agree that serious indications that border security

Liberal Incivility and the Gun Debate

As I noted earlier, yesterday’s Senate votes on the Manchin-Toomey amendment as well as other provisions ended the chances that any gun control legislation will pass Congress this year. While Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and California Senator Dianne Feinstein have vowed to keep pushing for assault weapon bans and other proposals that have zero chance of passage, from this point forward the debate will be conducted solely with an eye toward public opinion and next year’s midterm election, not any specific legislation. That means that while some may dismiss yesterday’s bitter post-vote comments

This Time It’s Different?
National Review Online, by Editors    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 4/19/2013 5:53:32 AM     Post Reply
The Gang of Eight’s “comprehensive” immigration-reform bill contains a number of superficially attractive security mandates: It would require the federal government to have 100 percent “situational awareness” of the border, to catch 90 percent of illegal border-crossers in high-traffic areas, to establish a tracking system to address the problem of those who enter the country illegally but overstay their visas, etc. So attractive are those goals that we have supported them in the past, on the many occasions upon which the government has promised to achieve them. Disappointingly, Washington keeps failing to deliver on its promises.

   

 

  


 
House will slow Senate’s rush

House Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., signaled today that he will schedule a lengthier process for the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform proposal than the Senate intends provide. “Since the Senate bill is so large and the issue so complex, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on this legislation soon to consider its merits and flaws,” Goodlatte said in a statement today. “One way to do this is for the House to examine these issues in a step-by-step process.

London Mills, Illinois is being evacuated after flooding turned from bad to worse on Thursday. No, we´re not talking about a few blocks of the town. Police are ordering the entire town out their homes. London Mills is not a big town — it´s actually more of a village with a population of 390 — but the prospect of the entire community being swept away by floodwaters is just another extraordinary disaster in an extraordinarily disastrous week. The weather situation in Illinois isn´t isolated to London Mills. Heavy rains across the state have been causing problems all day as streams

Perils of a petulant presidency

A distasteful aspect of President Obama’s personality reared its head Wednesday, providing insight into why bipartisan success so often eludes him. Surrounded by family members of the Newtown victims, Obama charged that his foes had “willfully lied” to block “common-sense gun reform.” In truth, the Manchin-Toomey amendment didn’t pass because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, fearful that a GOP amendment relaxing concealed-carry laws might pass, insisted that all amendments would need 60 votes. The background check Obama railed about mustered but 54. Earlier this year, the president argued that Newtown survivors and other victims

10 things for Dems
to worry about
Washington Post, by Jennifer Rubin    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 4/19/2013 5:30:26 AM     Post Reply
After extracting only the most minimal tax hike from Republicans, crying wolf and losing on the sequester and then getting smacked down on anti-gun legislation you, can understand how Democrats may be a little down in the dumps. Well, here are some more worries for them to ponder: 1. Complaining about and name-calling the “shameful” senators who opposed the background checks on guns depresses turnout and fundraising, leading to losses in red state races critical for Democrats to hold the Senate in 2014. 2. Obamacare really is a “train wreck,” causing its delay (another downer for the left)

As zero hour approaches for the full effect of Obamacare to take effect and it becomes more and more obvious that a national tragedy will be unfolding as a result, Obamacare supporters are, to put it bluntly, losing it. Kevin Drum: There’s no question that Obamacare faces difficulties. It’s an imperfect law with a lot of moving parts, and it’s also facing tremendous resistance from Republicans around the country, who are doing everything they can to delay, defund, and just generally sabotage it. Put those two things together and smooth sailing was never in the cards.

Look, I’m happy to talk about the different approaches Fox and MSNBC took to the gun debate. Frankly, I think it reflects quite well on Fox, as New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter’s complaint against Fox illustrates. Fox is usually accused by other media sources of cheerleading for a conservative cause, but in this case, Stelter points out Fox didn’t cover the gun debate as much, or as emotionally, as MSNBC did. As a Fox News Contributor, I’ve talked about guns probably four times in the last several months, at least once (maybe twice)

Saudi student hurt in Boston bombing
not a suspect, not being deported

A Saudi student questioned in connection to the bombing of the Boston Marathon is not being deported, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House panel Thursday. “I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston. I don’t know where that rumor came from,” Napolitano said. Administration officials told The Hill on Thursday that news reports about the student injured in the bombing are confusing him with another student from Saudi Arabia who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for violating his visa.

Gun control: President

The gun control groups central to Obama’s push never lost faith in the White House and praised its efforts even as it was clear the push would fail. “Bribery isn’t what it once was,” said an official with one of the major gun-control groups. “The government has no money. Once upon a time you would throw somebody a post office or a research facility in times like this. Frankly, there’s not a lot of leverage.” It was a bitter defeat for a president accustomed to winning, a second-term downer that may — or may not — foreshadow the slow decline

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

After all the controversy – it was too much, and too expensive; it would be marred by protests – this morning’s funeral for Lady Thatcher in London was a splendid and memorable affair, which did her memory, and her country, proud. It was a moving, dignified and pitch-perfect occasion: unmistakably British, and a fitting send-off for the country’s greatest post-war prime minister. Big Ben fell silent – for the first time since the funeral of wartime leader Winston Churchill – and tens of thousands of admirers lined the streets to applaud Lady Thatcher’s coffin

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

WASHINGTON -- A senior Democratic senator who helped write President Barack Obama´s health care law stunned administration officials Wednesday, saying openly he thinks it´s headed for a "train wreck" because of bumbling implementation. "I just see a huge train wreck coming down," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told Obama´s health care chief during a routine budget hearing that suddenly turned tense. Baucus is the first top Democrat to publicly voice fears about the rollout of the new health care law, designed to bring coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans through a mix
