Don´t be too happy this beast is in hell. His like-minded minions are alive and well and many of them are influential here in the US. Other friends of his are only trying to get the Bomb and set the world on fire.

Yeah, Chavez was so much a friend of the poor that he taxed the country to the point where he personally amassed a $2B fortune. Carter truly is a peanut head.

I was there 8 years ago, and I was shocked that the people there do not make eye contact. Very grim, morose people.

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama authorized his administration to provide arms to rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, officials briefed on the decision said Thursday, after the White House said it had confirmed that Damascus used chemical weapons in the country´s civil war. The secret decision to authorize the Central Intelligence Agency to provide arms to the rebels reverses a long-standing policy that limited the U.S. to providing nonlethal support. The White House declined to comment on the secret order, saying only that Mr. Obama had decided to ramp up "military support" to moderate rebels both in "scope and scale."

In 1998, after Osama bin Laden orchestrated the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, FBI agents were deployed to collect evidence so they could issue a warrant for his arrest. Twelve years later, Seal Team Six raided his Abbottabad compound, shot and killed him and his guards and then dumped his corpse into the sea. The difference is that the U.S. is now waging a war on terror, and not a metaphorical war like LBJ´s on poverty. This is a crucial distinction that has been lost amid the growing ruction over the National Security Agency surveillance programs.

Security: With the director of national intelligence defending a program he told Congress didn´t exist, the Patriot Act´s author says this isn´t the targeted surveillance intended and warns of losing needles in a too-big haystack. Edward Snowden is quite possibly a traitor, but we have been caught in a Prism of our own making, outsourcing our national security to 29-year-old unstable contractors, one of nearly 500,000 employees of private firms with access to the government´s most sensitive secrets.

Economy: The recession ended four years ago. So how´s that Obama recovery going? Still rather poorly, if jobs are the standard by which it is measured. The failure of President Obama´s policies are made clear by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning group that wanted to point out that "the main problem in the labor market is a broad-based lack of demand for workers." We won´t address EPI´s mistaken conclusion, but we will say the numbers it supports it with are damning. Using Bureau of Labor data, EPI separated jobs into 12 industry sectors and compared the number of job

When the IRS is accused of “targeting,” don’t assume they’re speaking metaphorically. From Politico: As chairman of the House Homeland Security oversight subcommittee, [Jeff] Duncan (R-S.C.) toured a federal law enforcement facility in late May and noticed agents training with the semi-automatic weapons at a firing range. They identified themselves as IRS, he said. “When I left there, it’s been bugging me for weeks now, why IRS agents are training with a semi-automatic rifle AR-15, which has stand-off capability,” Duncan told POLITICO. “Are Americans that much of a target that you

It’s become a pretty much a staple of modern Democratic political rhetoric to say that today’s Republicans have departed from their predecessors in being more obstructionist toward liberal policy objectives. Since it’s something Democrats say a lot, it’s also a frequently repeated talking point in the self-described mainstream press as well. Even some Republicans, like Bob Dole for instance, appear to believe this notion. Too bad it’s entirely a myth. It’s particularly unfortunate to hear Dole buying into the myth because he was actually there and ought to remember how things were. When asked to reflect on

On Tuesday Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) cited "Biblical compassion" as a reason to support the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill. Rubio told CBN that he supports the bill because “[o]ur faith has always been about compassion and it compels you to do something. "Now, we have an obligation to be responsible to our country and not do anything that hurts America but also our faith calls us to compassion. If you took compassion or the principle of compassion out of the Bible, it would be in tatters because it’s all over the place.” Mark Tooley, President of the Institute

WASHINGTON — The State Department has hired an alarming number of law-enforcement agents with criminal or checkered backgrounds because of a flawed hiring process, a stunning memo obtained by The Post reveals. The background problems are severe enough that many of the roughly 2,000 agents in State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security can play only limited roles in agency efforts to police bad conduct and prosecute wrongdoers. The problems in the bureau are the latest revelation in an exploding scandal that also involves accusations that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail

At a Thursday press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with exceptions for when the life or physical health of the mother was at stake. Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. "As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "This shouldn´t have anything to do with politics."

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that the incidence of pregnancy caused by rape is "very low," prompting criticism from Democrats who said the GOP is waging a "war on women." Franks made the comment during a committee mark-up of his late-term abortion ban bill, which is expected pass the House next week. The Republican lawmaker was arguing against a Democratic amendment allowing rape and incest victims to procure abortions. As written, the bill only exempts women whose lives are in danger.
