Barack Obama is not the man many Americans thought he was. This sudden realization has transformed American politics. The sheer audacity of the successful operation against Osama bin Laden has forced Obama’s friends and foes alike to reassess what they make of a chief executive who defies easy categorization and reveals less about himself than politicians are typically drawn to do. Obama is hard to understand because he is many things and not just one thing. He has now proved that he can be bold at an operational level, even as he remains cautious at a philosophical level. His proclivity to gather facts and weigh alternatives does not lead automatically, in the venerable phrase, to ...

Many May Not Care for Orly Taitz But She Knows Something Donald Trump Doesn't Just about all of you have your reasons for liking, or disliking Orly Taitz, it's only human nature we might see or hear things other's don't. I noticed quite a few Trump fans here, talking about how cool he was, how gutsy he was for getting in Obama's face about his Birth Certificate, then Donald took bows when Obama and WH released what was supposed to be the BC, and it turned out to be just another fraud, what has Donald done since then? In fact, no matter what documents Trump were to find on Obama, now, or in the future, and they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the man was a liar and ...
At what level of lying to the American people is impeachment warranted?

At what level of lying to the American people is impeachment warranted? The 'birth certificate' released by Obama a few days ago has turned out to be a crude forgery. The COLB released in 2008 was also suspected of being a forgery at the time. Now there appears what seems to be the actual Hawaiian birth registration of Barack Obama. It states that he was born in Kenya on Aug 4 1961. It was made out on the basis of information supplied by his grand mother, Madelyn Dunham. The document was made out and registered on 8/8/81, and is signed by Madelyn Dunham. The Aloha Reporter The importance of the document is that it proves that Obama was born in Kenya. It also proves that the ...
Mainstream Media's Paradise Lost

Mainstream Media's Paradise Lost By Steve McCann Over the past ten years it has become painfully obvious that the mainstream media's level of vituperation directed at conservatives has gone up exponentially while their willingness to accommodate and turn a blind eye towards the devastating policies of the Left (in particular President Obama) has never been higher. There has always been a left-of-center bias among the vast majority of the media; however their actions over this period are not fully explained by that predisposition. While the media has always been willing to go after and embarrass conservatives or Republicans as well as belittle their thinking, there was much more ...

Judge Parker - I see the LP Kloaughns ganging up on you at LP. You are a fine poster and there is no need for that sort of nonsense as WhiteSands, Gatlin, harrowup and their esteemed client, "yukon" have created. Come on over to LF and eventually leave LP. Although I can't speak for others on LF, I can say that you are an excellent poster worthy of respect and admiration similar to many others that have a personal opinion without gang warfare tactics. Judge, LP has descended into the caveland-dwellers days of thousands of yesteryears of crude prehistoric prehumans.

Integration and Diversity -- Mutually Exclusive Concepts?

Integration and Diversity -- Mutually Exclusive Concepts? By Mercer Tyson When I attended college in the sixties, the mantra was integration. MLK and the liberals told us to judge people by the "content of their character, not the color of their skin." Good advice. They got it right. Unfortunately, integration hasn't been a prevalent word lately, possibly because we've come a long way towards achieving it, but also because it has been usurped by "diversity" and "multiculturalism." This, too, is pushed by liberals. This time, though, they got it wrong. Or maybe not. Everyone has an opinion on multiculturalism and integration, yet very little real ...
[GOP Front Runner] Donald Trump ties made in China

I confess. I have two Donald Trump ties. Bought at clearance prices, before Trump was in his birther and bigot mode. After hearing news reports, I checked the ties. Guess what? My two Trump ties were both made in China! Donald Trump is such a total phony. He rails about China and then makes money using his name to sell ties made in China. He attacks those who sell out American workers to China, then makes his money when he sells out American workers by selling ties made in China, with the Trump name on it. I have the proof in my hands right now! I guess Mr. Smart Businessman couldn't find an American firm to make his ties, or maybe he just wanted to make more money selling ties not ...
Michele Bachmann is wrong about oil; There's more to the oil-reserve story than Bachmann suggests.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, our newest lawyer-turned-petroleum-geologist, is critical of the Brazil policy of another would-be geologist lawyer, President Obama ("There's oil here at home, but Obama would go abroad," April 26). But Obama's motive in offering to help Brazil "develop these oil reserves" is to gain profitable business for the U.S. oil and oil-services industries. Brazil's offshore Santos Basin holds the world's largest oil discovery in more than a decade. The business opportunity for U.S. petroleum technology is substantial. Bachmann continues to go astray discussing U.S. oil reserves. The best estimates of economically recoverable oil ...

President Obama Will Not Be Re-elected. Period. Why? Obamaflation has arrived, and this is what it looks like. Milk. A gallon of skim. At the local Giant in Central Pennsylvania: January 11, 2011: $3.20 February 28, 2011: $3.24 March 6, 2011: $3.34 April 23. 2011: $3.48 That would be a 28 cent rise in a mere 102 days, from January to April of this year. The third year of the Obama misadventure. Then there's the celery. Same sized bag. Same store. January 11, 2011: $1.99 a bag. March 6, 2011: $2.49 a bag. A rise of 50 cents in 54 days. And the gas price during the administration filled with those who think "drill baby drill" is so yesterday? As one Internet photo had ...
The Racialization of Budgetary Deficits

The Racialization of Budgetary Deficits By Robert Weissberg Race is increasingly infusing the current debate over federal spending and the soaring national debt. This is what lies at the heart of accusing the Tea Party of "racism." Needless to say, this racial element bodes poorly for solving our debt crisis. The modern civil rights movement was initially about personal liberty -- from attending schools of one's choosing, to sitting wherever one chose on a bus and being able to vote regardless of skin color, among myriad other liberties. Yes, expanded federal power was vital but intercessions such as affirmative action were, supposedly, only temporary legal steps to ...
Women Against Men

Women Against Men Feminists, government and society trampling men's rights and their dignity into the ground - pitting women, against men. Feminism Is a Hate Group When some of the most prominent feminists and famous women make openly hateful anti-male statements, and the mainstream feminist organizations say and do nothing to distance themselves from such public statements, then it’s clear that the hatred of men has an accepted place in mainstream feminism. Does this seem like a harsh assessment of feminism? Perhaps. Is it true? Absolutely. One of the main problems with “feminism” is that it exploits the legitimate claims of equal rights as a cloak to usher in its ...
Sarah Palin's Version Of Trig's Birth May Be More Troubling Than The Hoax [Full Thread]

This past week, the draft of an academic paper that focuses on the 2008 birth of Sarah Palin's son, Trig Paxson Van Palin, and the various theories that surround his birth, was made public prior to publication through a university newspaper and then exploded, quite predictably, on the Palin-centric blogosphere, where Trig's birth remains a cause célèbre and the source of considerable controversy. It has now spilled over into the mainstream media as well.
"Palin, the Press, and the Fake Pregnancy Rumor: Did a Spiral of Silence Shut Down the Story?" written by Bradford W. Scharlott, Ph.D., an associate professor at Northern Kentucky University, comes to two primary conclusions: 1) that ...
Obama, the Interpreter of the Message of Passover

Passover recalls the bondage and suffering of Jews in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus, but U.S. President Barack Obama says its message is reflected in Muslim uprisings. In his annual message, prior to his third straight participation in the Passover Seder, President Obama stated, “The story of Passover…instructs each generation to remember its past, while appreciating the beauty of freedom and the responsibility it entails. This year that ancient instruction is reflected in the daily headlines as we see modern stories of social transformation and liberation unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa.” Having constructed a link between the Arab uprisings and Chosen ...
The false promise and big profits of ‘mini-med’ health plans
Post Date: 2011-04-18 10:17:58 by lucysmom
1 Comments
One of the reasons I left my job as a PR executive for the health insurance industry was because I could not in good conscience be a pitchman for the sort of fabulously profitable benefit plan that often provides little more than the illusion of coverage. Known as "mini-meds," these plans have become popular among businesses like fast-food chains that have many low-wage employees. The common features of these plans: high deductibles, modest benefits and low annual caps on medical coverage. Some of these plans provide as little as $2,000 worth of care each year. Consumer advocates call these plans "junk insurance." That's because what workers get in these plans for ...
Lost in the American Undertow -- [The United States has always maintained a white underclass]
Post Date: 2011-04-17 17:44:31 by Ferret Mike

The following is the introduction to Joe Bageant's newly released book, Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir The United States has always maintained a white underclass — citizens whose role in the greater scheme of things has been to cushion national economic shocks through the disposability of their labor, with occasional time off to serve as bullet magnets in defense of the Empire. Until the post-World War II era, the existence of such an underclass was widely acknowledged. During the Civil War, for instance, many northern abolitionists also called for the liberation of “four million miserable white southerners held in bondage by the wealthy planter class”. Planter elites, who ...
Winter Soldiers Outshine Sunshine Patriots as Palin's Madison Rally Is Overwhelmed by Protest Crowd

Tom Paine wrote at the toughest moment of the American revolutionary struggle: “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” On Saturday, in Madison, Wisconsin, there was plenty to be thankful for. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the paid spokeswoman for the tepid Tea Party movement, jetted into Madison for what was supposed to be a victory party. Unofficial returns released Friday for the state’s highly controversial Supreme Court race show the candidate of conservative Republican ...

Scott McConnell's Oral History of Ayn Rand includes an interview with a consultant of the Atlas Shrugged author and founder of the Objectivism cult, who details how she helped the artist formerly known as Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum get on the public tit. From Mark Frauenfelder at BoingBoing: Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer funds under an assumed name to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer. An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured ...
Obama deception indicators “off the charts” during Stephanopoulos interview

If you watch and listen carefully to the 20-minute, 14 April 2011 interview of Barack Hussein Obama by George Stephanopoulos, you will notice something very telling that takes place during that interview when the discussion shifts to the issue of Donald Trump and ultimately, the “birther conspiracy.” Veteran investigators who are experienced in interviewing and interrogating suspects, witnesses, criminals and non-criminals have undoubtedly identified numerous big red flags of deception precisely when expected, and in textbook fashion. To observe this in action, begin watching the video at about the 13:25 minute mark, when Stephanopoulos lobs the following softball, leading ...
Social Security 'Whoppers' and the Compliant Media

Social Security 'Whoppers' and the Compliant Media Jon N. Hall It's bad enough that year after year career politicians shamelessly perpetuate the same untruths, but when the media don't call them on it it's intolerable. Journalists are supposed to be guardians of the truth; they comprise one of just three professions mentioned in the Constitution. Democrats continue to tell whoppers about Social Security, and so-called journalists continue to let them get away with it. In his April 13 speech, President Obama said that: "Social Security is not the cause of our deficit." Which mirrored what Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, said Feb.20 on NBC's Meet ...

Paul vs. Paul: Should Ron Step Aside and Let Son Rand Run?

America has a short history of father/son presidential duos, including John and John Quincy Adams, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, as well as grandfather and grandson William Henry and Benjamin Harrison. But never before have we faced the prospect of a dad and his son going head-to-head for their party’s nomination. Last time around, rabble-rousing Republican Ron Paul became the king of the “money bomb” when his hyped-up supporters made him an unlikely (though short-lived) contender for the Republican presidential nomination. Paul’s repeated calls for fiscal sanity at the time are starting to sound a bit less out there in light of our impending government ...
GOP should stop picking "winners," pick Rand Paul

This is strictly nonpartisan advice to Republicans from an independent observer tired of the same-old-same-old during presidential primaries: Pick Rand Paul! The Kentucky senator came to South Carolina last week, dipping a toe into the GOP primary pool. And why not? Obama proved a Washington novice need not worry about a sparse resumé. And it's not like there is an all-star team lining up for this home-run derby. Gingrich, Pawlenty, and Bachmann? This is the part of the lineup where ticket holders know its safe to go to the bathroom. They'll strike out. Now, I'm not going to get into the merits of a Paul candidacy. Instead, I'll point to the GOP's doomed journey ...
Rand Paul: 2012's Barack Obama?

For the most part, republicans choose their presidential candidates based on who's turn they think it is. I've been espousing this for years. 2012 I figured was Mitt Romney's year because it's his turn. Sadly for Mitt, a monkey wrench by the name of Rand Paul may be what derails his march and eventual landslide loss to President Obama in 2012. Just like President Obama, Rand is a first term senator with limited national experience. Also, Rand knows what his audience wants to hear and gives it to them. The mantra of freedom and low taxes and less government with no explanation as to how to achieve all this while maintaining infrastructure and national defense and safe ...
