ABC defends editing Michelle
Obama’s ‘automatic weapon’ claim

Washington Examiner, by Michal Conger

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 2/27/2013 6:15:02 AM

ABC is defending its decision to edit out an apparently erroneous claim by Michelle Obama in its broadcast of the first lady’s interview on Good Morning America today, saying it made the changes “solely” for the sake of time. As The Washington Examiner reported this morning, the first lady claimed during an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts that 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was killed in Chicago shortly after performing during the President’s Inauguration, was shot because “some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need.” In fact, Chicago Police reported Pendleton was shot by a man who

The sentence about the chemistry test was edited out for the sake of time.

The part about "some kids had automatic weapons" was deleted to cover up a lie.

It´s always just under the surface and more and more comes out in the open. Liberals can´t help themselves because it is their religion. Like the jihadists, the Church of Liberalism requires all followers to use their station in life to further the agenda. No conspiracy is required. Obama makes it known where he wishes to go and they follow their leader. The duty of the liberal jihadist is to help where they can which includes protecting the leaders by providing favorable propaganda if you are in a position to do so.

The First Lady´s remarks had to be edited lest it sound like she had no idea what she was talking about. Kids with automatic weapons they don´t need -just playthings, really- are not the same thing as gang bangers shooting at rivals with handguns. Of course everybody knows that the First Lady has no idea what she is talking about. The reason is that she is not talking about what actually happened but what might as well have happened, what could have happened, and what WILL happen unless immediate, sweeping, effective gun control laws and abolition of private ownership of anything that even LOOKS like the dreaded "assault rifle" are enacted.

Leftists are always accused by normal people of lying or getting their facts wrong. This is not quite fair. Leftists are not truly concerned with mere facts. They have bigger fish to fry. They can be wrong about the (so-called) facts and still be right about the Big Picture. It happens all the time. Since conservatives, being mean-spirited, have no Big Picture, when they are wrong about the facts, it matters. It does not matter when Leftists are wrong about the facts.

Besides, it simply would not do for America to have an uninformed, sloppy-minded, mendacious ignoramus as First Lady, especially if she happens to be black. ABC had no choice but to clean up her remarks. It was the patriotic, progressive thing to do.

On the other side of it, it´s become common practice for state run broadcast media to engage in selective editing to smear the GOP. Why don´t Republicans just cite scheduling conflicts when invited by obama agents like david gregory and by the losers on msnbc? Or just ignore them. That´s how democrats respond to Fox News invitations. When GOP officials agree to appear, they should be very tough like John Sununu. It´s what the media whores deserve.

Bipartisan deal reached on

A bipartisan group of senators has struck a deal to expand gun background checks to all commercial sales — whether at gun shows, via the Internet or in any circumstance involving paid advertising, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks. The proposed agreement would be more stringent than current law, which requires checks only when purchases are made through a licensed dealer, but less than originally sought by President Obama and congressional Democrats, who were seeking to expand background checks to nearly every kind of sale.

Baroness Thatcher will be given a war leader´s funeral, with personnel from regiments who fought to free the Falkland Islands carrying her body into St Paul´s Cathedral. More than 700 men and women from the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force will take part next Wednesday, Downing Street has revealed.

The Obama Budget Proposal:
Tax Increase on Charity

President Obama’s long-awaited budget proposal, to be released today, does not come right out and say that intends to reduce contributions to charity—but that is almost certainly what would happen were it to become law. Here’s why. The White House has effectively doubled down on a tax change it has been pushing for four years that would limit the value of the charitable tax deduction. The Administration has, since 2009, pushed unsuccessfully to allow only 28 cents on a dollar donated to charity to be deducted—even

President Obama’s budget to be released on Wednesday would leave the nation with a $744 billion budget deficit in 2014 despite new entitlement cuts and tax hikes. The $1.058 trillion budget for fiscal year 2014 — which will arrive on Capitol Hill about two months late — would turn off the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester and raise $580 billion in new tax revenue over ten years by limiting tax deductions for upper-income households.

The Obama administration released an outline of its fiscal 2014 budget to reporters on Tuesday, forbidding its release until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday. The preview promises that President Barack Obama´s budget ´reduces the deficit and puts the Nation on a sound fiscal course.´ ´Every new initiative in the plan is fully paid for, so they do not add a single dime to the deficit,´ the White House pledges. An initial walk through the budget proposals, however, suggests that Republicans in Congress will need some convincing.

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.

This nation is repeating the disastrous evolutionary process that has plagued so many failed nations throughout mankind´s history.

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.

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.

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.”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

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?

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

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.
