Ex-congressman: President a 'threat,' must be impeached

A former congressman and GOP presidential candidate says for current members of the House and Senate to uphold their oath of office that includes the defense of the United States against enemies "foreign and domestic," they need to be filing impeachment charges against Barack Obama. Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., joined what has become a growing surge of those recommending the ultimate solution for a president they believe not only has disagreeable policies, but is participating in actions that damage the nation. Tancredo wrote in a opinion piece in the Washington Times that, "Mr. Obama's refusal to live up to his own oath of office – which includes the ...
Liberals Are Evil, Wrong and Nuts! (Part I)

Ann Coulter took some heavy artillery from the left this past week. Her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, has ignited the outrage of liberals. You go girl! The media particularly has overreacted to such an extent it is almost comical. When NBC, as only one example, reported the release of her book on June 6, 2006, (666) they painted her with the same colors that a rational person would paint Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Ladin, or Jeffrey Dahmer. If I had not known what I was watching I might have guessed that I was watching a Saturday Night Live skit. This type of reaction is actually normal for liberals. When Ann Coulter in the spirit of a Toto pulls back the curtain and exposes ...
Maybe I’m Dumb, but Could Somebody Please Tell Me the Difference Between Zionism and Racism?

I’m about to do something that I generally make it a point to avoid – discuss the collective nature of White folks. The reason I make it a point to avoid this subject is because I don’t want to add to the disinformation disseminated by many Black racists (oh yes, racists come in Black too) that there is something more intrinsically evil in White people than there is any other racial group. The fact is, as humans, just as intellect is distributed equally across our species, so is malevolence. We all have a tendency to be self-serving and corrupt given half a chance. The only difference between White people and any other group is that they have the power, thus opportunity, to ...
Israel's Outrageous Rape Case

It's getting harder and harder to be a liberal Zionist. Sometimes, clinging to the idea of Israel, I feel like a true believing communist trying to explain away the deviations of actually existing socialism. Israel's harshest critics often claim that Zionism equals racism. It's an unfair, historically inaccurate charge. But Israel seems to be trying hard to prove it true. This week, in a case that made waves around the world, a 30-year-old married Israeli-Arab man, Sabbar Kashur, was having consensual sex with a woman who thought he was Jewish. The two met on an Israeli street in 2008 and struck up a conversation. He introduced himself with a name that sounded Jewish, and ...
Palin's new pal (Palin Refudiated)

Palin's new pal By JOSEPH W. MCQUAID New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher Wednesday, Jul. 21, 2010 SARAH PALIN'S endorsement of Kelly Ayotte for U.S. Senate should neither surprise nor upset the other campaigns. The race will be won by the candidate who impresses New Hampshire voters, and New Hampshire voters are rarely impressed by what outsiders have to say. This is to take nothing away from Ayotte. She is a formidable first-time candidate and a legitimate contender for the Republican nomination. Editorial logo Click for Editorials & Op-Eds But former Gov. Palin isn't making these endorsements because, as she claims, she has spent time in New Hampshire and thus knows ...
Sarah Palin is at the top of her party (Liberal Bedwetters Hate It But Can't Change It)

More than 13 months ago, I wrote a column that began: “Sarah Palin can be the Republican nominee in 2012. I am not saying she will be, but she can be. Those who underestimate her do so at their own risk.” It was not the most popular column I ever wrote. I remember snickering and mockery from those who could not find actual vegetables to throw. After all, as was widely believed at the time, Sarah Palin was an idiot. Her interview with CBS’s Katie Couric had proved that. And Palin’s approval rating as governor of Alaska, once so high, had plunged to 54 percent. (An approval rating I suspect President Barack Obama would love to have today.) Sarah Palin was a hick and a ...
Shirley Sherrod and the shame of conservative media

You want to see media bias in action? Okay — look at the conservative media reaction to the firing of Shirley Sherrod. Sherrod is the former U.S. Department of Agriculture employee fired for supposed anti-white racism. On July 19, Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com website posted a short video clip from a speech Sherrod had delivered to an NAACP gathering in March. In the clip, Sherrod confessed to having deliberately declined on racial grounds to help a white farmer faced with a foreclosure on his farm. She was immediately terminated by the USDA and condemned by the national NAACP. But a second look at the tape made it obvious that the tape had been severely edited, abruptly ...

When you're a Teabagger, that is, a member of the elite group that shares its moniker with the incredibly sexy act of dipping testicles into open, gaping mouths or slapping them atop the head, cheek or anywhere else balls can be swung, who thinks dressing up like Benjamin Franklin and hollerin' 'bout black Socialist prezinents stealing all their hard-earned money proves they love America the most, the universe fits perfectly into tidy compartments, and everything in life is pretty much black and white. Things are sooooooo much easier that way! 'Cause then you can like tweak everything to make anything look better or worse depending on the situation, or whatever version of ...
Republicans now blaming Democrats for Bush tax cuts

Republicans now blaming Democrats for Bush tax cuts The new Republican line is that there's a “Democrat tax hike" on the way. And it's a big 'un: "An unprecedented $3.8 trillion increase" that will affect -- and this is their bold and underline, not mine -- "every American who pays income taxes!" To understand what's going on here, you need to go back 10 years to the passage of the Bush tax cuts. In order to maximize the size of the cuts, Republicans had to minimize the influence of minority Democrats on the package. So they chose to run the bill through the reconciliation process. But that posed some challenges. Budget reconciliation had ...
Michele Bachmann crowned "Queen of Crap" on MSNBC [VIDEO]

Michele Bachmann decided last week that Congress needed a Tea Party Caucus, and promptly made herself its chairwoman. MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan has now derided her as "full of crap" for talking about fiscal responsibility while siding with bankers (that would be bailed-out bankers) when it comes to reforming Wall Street and preventing another economic hose-down. Then guest Cenk Uygur then took the crap and ran with it: "You took the words right out of my mouth. She is so full of crap. I mean, she may be the queen of crap," Uygur said. There's more.

Rant Against Democracy: How America Created a Radical Iran Part 1

This week United Nations started to squeeze the Iranian Republic just a little more and further increasing the control of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over the people of Iran. The reason for the newest wave of sanctions is centered on the disputed Iranian nuclear program and the inability for Iran or its western opponents to come to a consensus. Fiery rhetoric has been the weapon of choice for American politicians towards the defiant Middle Eastern country and most American probably agree that the Iran is a danger to peace. However, only President Obama has briefly hinted that the monster that has become Iran was created by the United States. At some point the U.S. public is going to have ...
The Bush Deficit Bamboozle

OK, even by contemporary standards, this is rich: the official Republican stance is now apparently that Bush left behind a budget that was in pretty good shape. Mitch McConnell: The last year of the Bush administration, the deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product was 3.2 percent, well within the range of what most economists think is manageable. A year and a half later, it’s almost 10 percent. They really do think that we’re idiots. So, that 3.2 percent number comes from here (pdf). Where’s the bamboozle? Let me count the ways. First, they’re hoping that you won’t know that standard budget data is presented for fiscal years, which start on October 1 of the ...
An Empty Party

Many Americans are talking about how well the Republicans may do in the midterm elections this November. I say they can’t win because the Republican Party no longer exists. Those who claim to be the Republicans aren’t. The party is dead. Only the name survives. This is not the party of Abraham Lincoln. Ronald Reagan was far too liberal for today’s Republicans. The only thing left is the neocon wing, personified by former Vice President Dick Cheney. The party is owned by corporate puppets that apologize to BP. The party is led by Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin. Republicans need to take responsibility. They need to stand for something more than empty slogans. There are no ...

Predictions of the end of civilization are nothing new, but the direst prognosticators have, traditionally, existed on the fringes of society, where their dark visions can be comfortably attributed to an excess of libertarianism or a shortage of Prozac. In the last few years, however, something strange has happened. While there is no lack of survivalists stockpiling cat food and rifles, some of the direst thinkers are now working on Wall Street, where a combination of fear and foresight has many of the country's money men contemplating their escape routes.

Anger management and Rep. Ciro Rodriguez 6:12 PM Mon, Jul 12, 2010 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz Todd J. Gillman/Reporter Bio | E-mail | News tips Just two weeks ago, the Democratic National Committee put out a call for "Macaca" moments - an open invitation to anyone with a cell phone or video camera to record and share embarrassing comments from Republican politicians. Well, turnabout is fair play, as San Antonio congressman Ciro Rodriguez - a Democrat -now can attest. Conservatives had fun today spreading a short clip in which a woman at a Rodriguez meet-the-congressman event this weekend accuses him of lying about costs of the new health care plan. The fact that she had a ...

With the disintegration of the Soviet Empire and the Soviet Union, and Beijing's abandonment of Maoism, anti-communism necessarily ceased to be the polestar of U.S. foreign policy. For many, our triumph fairly cried out for a bottom-up review of all the alliances created to fight that Cold War and a return to a policy of non-intervention in foreign quarrels where no vital U.S. interest was imperiled. This was dismissed as isolationism. Seeking some new cause to give meaning to their lives, our suddenly superfluous foreign policy elites settled upon a crusade for democracy as America's new mission in the world. Interventions in Panama, Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia followed, plus wars ...
Robert Reich is Clueless

Robert Reich is Clueless By BRUCE BIALOSKY You may remember Robert Reich -- he served as Secretary of Labor during Bill Clinton’s first term. Mr. Reich has fashioned himself as an economist since he left that lofty federal post, and he frequently leads the argument for positions on the left wing of the Democratic Party while attempting to present himself as a man of reason. He has once more pontificated the left-wing position on the problems of our stagnant economy and thereby shows how lost the left continues to be regarding a free-market economy. Reich is certainly a smart man, a very educated man and a very accomplished man. Having said that, he could still very well have blind ...
Sarah Palin Likes Government Too

(CNN) -- During a speech at an event called "Freedom Fest," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned Tea Party activists that while government spending was a bad thing, conservatives should not go too far and start calling for reductions in the military budget. While Palin told the crowd in Norfolk, Virginia, "Something has to be done urgently to stop the out-of-control Obama-Reid-Pelosi spending machine," she also told them, "We must make sure, however, that we do nothing to undermine the effectiveness of our military." Palin's speech touched on a historic problem for the conservative movement. Ever since conservatives embraced a hawkish stance toward ...
Arizona Governor 'Has Lost Her Head'

Headless bodies and other immigration tall tales in Arizona Sunday, July 11, 2010 Jan Brewer has lost her head. The Arizona governor, seemingly determined to repel every last tourist dollar from her pariah state, has sounded a new alarm about border violence. "Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded," she announced on local television. Ay, caramba! Those dark-skinned foreigners are now severing the heads of fair-haired Americans? Maybe they're also scalping them or shrinking them or putting them on a spike. But those in fear of losing parts north of the neckline can relax. There's ...
Top Anti-War Democrat: Afghanistan War Could Ddestroy’ Obama’s Presidency

WASHINGTON – An outspoken anti-war Democrat said ongoing US military efforts in Afghanistan could deeply imperil the presidency of Barack Obama and the fortunes of the Democratic Party. “I think that this war, if it goes on and if it escalates, has the potential to destroy this presidency and to destroy the Democratic majorities in Congress," Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) told Raw Story in an interview. The New York congressman, who has called the Afghanistan war a "fool's errand," said he has no qualms opposing Obama and Democratic leaders on this sensitive issue ahead of the midterm elections, despite the harsh climate for his party.

London Daily Telegraph: Palin Retains A Star Power Unmatched By Anyone Else In Her Party

Check the sky for flying pigs. Has Hell frozen over?. The impossible has happened. Alex Spillius, Washington correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph has actually written a respectful, almost positive article on Sarah Palin. For nearly two years this man, together with his fellow Telegraph hack Toby Harnden, has totally belittled and trivialised Palin as an irrelevant airhead with quotes from the usual run of Republican “consultants” to buttress his disdain for The ’Cuda. Spillius and Harnden, even though resident in the USA have never, to my knowledge, made any attempt to use actual shoeleather to research Palin or sought to arrange an interview. Instead they have been ...

The Arab poet Adonis writes, "the Israeli policy has a peculiar dictionary — linguistically, intellectually and ethically. Whoever contradicts its rules and standards, even if rightly, is already dubbed as mistaken. There is no place for truth outside that dictionary". Israel, according to growing world opinion, has become an "insane state", "a pirate state", "illegal", "suicidal", "ignorant in history", "brutal" and "disdaining of humanity", to quote only a few expressions describing Israel. These symptoms started to appear after the end of the Cold War, when America and Europe's need for the Zionist ...

The former Intel chief says "job-centric" leadership and incentives are needed to expand U.S. domestic employment again Recently an acquaintance at the next table in a Palo Alto (Calif.) restaurant introduced me to his companions, three young venture capitalists from China. They explained, with visible excitement, that they were touring promising companies in Silicon Valley. I've lived in the Valley a long time, and usually when I see how the region has become such a draw for global investments, I feel a little proud. Not this time. I left the restaurant unsettled. Something did not add up. Bay Area unemployment is even higher than the 9.7 percent national average. Clearly, ...

PRESS MAN: Don’t Give Readers What They Want Andrew Ferguson July/August 2010 In early May, on the evening of the day his magazine got shot out from under him, the editor of Newsweek, Jon Meacham, appeared on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, seeking fellowship, commiseration, and a platform from which he might discourse upon the larger significance of the day’s developments. Discoursing upon larger significances is one of Meacham’s particular gifts. No one was surprised then that he would seek to apply it to the unexpected news that the owner of Newsweek, Donald Graham of the Washington Post Co., was putting the magazine up for sale, with the implication that the place would ...
