| Economy: Little noticed in President Obama´s "fiscal cliff" plan is a demand for a huge new stimulus package. Wait! Wasn´t he and everyone in the press telling us just before the election how the economy was gathering steam? In addition to the $1.6 trillion in new taxes on "the rich" that Obama demands, he´s also pushing for upward of $255 billion in new stimulus spending for next year — including $50 billion for roads, $30 billion in extended unemployment benefits and various short-term tax breaks. According to the New York Times, the administration´s argument is that

It´s the magic "multiplier", man.
Don´t you recall 2008-2010 when Sheriff Joe, Pelosi, Obama, Red and the NYT were lecturing us rubes about the magic of guvermint spending and how $1 in "stimulus" could produce 1.6x, or even more, in economic growth? Talk about a Faith Based Community. Forget God and pray to the magic Obama multiplier for salvation.

During the last week of October, both Bloomberg News and the AP ran stories asking if Romney would get credit for the Obama recovery if he was victorious. I was stunned to read such nonsense, since there has not been and there will not be anything close to an economic recovery under Obama.

Barack will blame the upcoming triple-dip recession on the fact that he had to spend a year running against Romney instead of concentrating on the economy. So in the end it will be Romney`s fault.

I didn´t miss it. Just wait til you see what´s in the Tax Cliff bill. It will make Obamacare look like koolaid and nilla wafers.
More stimulus, more outrageous spending, and more power grabs than you could imagine.
The reason Dems have not put forth a written proposal is because you have to pass the bill to find out what´s in it.
And no, I am not even joking.

RUSH: Let me start with a couple things here. The nuclear threat. The little dictator in Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has announced that Iran has gone nuclear. Whether it has or not, nobody knows, but he´s saying that Iran has gone nuclear. Ahmadinejad has ordered officials to speedily start five more nuclear reactors, so it looks like we better try to talk them into a sequester, too. Sequesters seem to be more effective than any sanctions have been.

We must not lose focus on the end goal of progressives regarding guns. Make no mistake; regardless of what they say, their ultimate goal is confiscation of all guns in America. And a "universal background check" will get them closer to this nirvana than the banning of a few selected weapons ever could. To understand progressive methodology, let´s use another similar issue: the gay marriage agenda. Say the current definition of "marriage" as it has been for thousands of years is represented by "A" on a

As we know from the climate change farce, progressives are never deterred by reality´s refusal to fall in line with the theories they use to justify their authoritarian advances. This obstinacy reveals the extent to which, contrary to honest reasoning, their political agenda determines their theoretical framework, rather than vice versa. Nowhere is this more evident than with regard to the most fundamental premise of progressivism itself, namely the repeatedly falsified mythology of "progress." The propensity for what we may call pseudo-theorizing has been at the heart of progressivism from the start.

Recently Rush Limbaugh opined that the United States is a dying country. For many years that reality has been painfully obvious to those of us who immigrated to the United States having experienced first-hand the suffering inherent in the near total destruction of a nation which inevitably occurs as the end-product of immorality, despotism and radical ideology. This nation is repeating the disastrous evolutionary process that has plagued so many failed nations throughout mankind´s history. This process begins with a society willing to reject the fundamental concept that is necessary for any nation to thrive

President Barack Obama is firmly committed to pushing an anti-gun agenda. He´s so steadfast in his conviction that he was willing to fly, on his $180K per hour magic carpet, the families of the children and school workers that perished in Newtown, Connecticut all the way to Washington DC. After breakfast, Sandy Hook family members participated in a mini anti-gun-violence, sympathy-fueled arm-twisting session where, in an effort to persuade reluctant senators to sway his way on the issue of gun control, the grieving were exploited.

Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama´s decision to include entitlement cuts in his upcoming budget, delivering 2 million petitions demanding the White House back off its support for the chained CPI. As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama´s budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president. This week, progressive groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal, accusing Obama of

It has been said that an actuary is someone who really wanted to be an accountant but didn´t have the personality for it. See who´s laughing now. Things are starting to get very interesting, actuarially-speaking. Federal bankruptcy judge Christopher Klein ruled on April 1 that Stockton, Calif., can file for bankruptcy via Chapter 9 (Chapter 11´s ugly cousin). The ruling may start the actuarial dominoes falling across the country, because Stockton´s predicament stems from financial assumptions that are hardly restricted to one improvident California municipality.

´This is about these families and families all across the country who are saying, ´Let´s make it a little harder for our kids to get gunned down,´" President Obama declared Monday, in unusually demagogic remarks even by his standards. He added, "What´s more important to you: our children, or an A-grade from the gun lobby?" Mr. Obama is lapsing into such crude appeals—support his gun-control agenda or suborn mass child murder—because he knows his real problems aren´t the gun lobby. They´re members of his own party who answer to law-abiding voters who support Second Amendment rights.

BEIRUT -- Al-Qaida´s branch in Iraq and the most powerful rebel extremist group in Syria have officially joined ranks against President Bashar Assad to forge a potentially formidable militant force in the Middle East. The merger of the Islamic State in Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra forms a new entity that could be an even stronger opponent in the fight to topple Assad and become a dominant player in what eventually replaces his regime. The new group, called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, underscores the growing confidence and muscle of Islamist radicals fighting on the rebel side

Corruption: Flying Newtown victims´ families on Air Force One to lobby Congress is an obvious abuse of presidential power. Can Republicans now give Fast and Furious victims´ families taxpayer-funded flights to Washington? Saul Alinsky disciple President Obama knows well that lies are often an indispensable tool. Breitbart´s A.W.R. Hawkins last week noted that in his book "Rules For Radicals," Chicago´s Marxist father of community organizing wrote of refraining from destroying a politician by revealing embarrassing facts of his private life.

Just so that we won´t be accused of taking his comments out of context, here they are: "The government is us," President Obama said Wednesday in Denver. "These officials are elected by you. ...

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

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.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough voiced his agreement with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful. Because, you know, there are a lot of guys out there in the Senate and they are going out because it’s a free shot.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
