Angered by a teenager's claims of being humiliated by a teacher over a Romney/Ryan T-shirt, students at Charles Carroll High School ignored warnings from administrators and shouted obscenities out school windows at the girl's parents Friday morning. Samantha Pawlucy had accused her geometry teacher of humiliating her for wearing the shirt, and stayed out of school after saying she learned students had made threats against her. To calm the situation, district officials addressed students Friday, urging them to leave Pawlucy alone. Minutes later, some students were heckling Pawlucy's parents, shouting obscenities at them. The Pawlucys had gone to the school in Port Richmond to ...
National Media Target Sheriff Joe: ABC News Launches “Arpaio Watch” to Defeat Arizona Sheriff

Just disgraceful. In an unprecedented attempt by a national media entity to try and sway an election, ABC News has launched "Arpaio Watch" - in an obvious attempt to defeat Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio just 30 days before the election. Abandoning any pretense of objectivity, ABC News has even hired a longtime pro-illegal alien activist to pose as a "journalist" and run the operation, which - partnered with Univision - clearly has as its intention to sway Hispanic votes in Arizona and deny the Maricopa County Sheriff a 6th term. The website makes no attempt whatsoever to provide balance, going after Arpaio right out of the gate: In the past two decades, no law ...
Obama Waives Child Soldiers Law for Muslim Brotherhood’s Libyan Forces

Obama said, “When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed — that’s slavery. It is barbaric, and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world.” And then Obama went ahead for the third time and waived the Child Soldiers Prevention Act signed into law by President Bush and co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of senators, including Obama and Biden. Obama not only waived a law he had co-sponsored, claiming that it was in the national interest, he did it after denouncing the very activity that he waived. The waiving of the Child Soldiers Prevention Act means US aid and weapons can continue going to the specified countries ...
Pakistan freed of anti-terrorism obligations; U.S. billions flow instead

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has refused for the first time to declare that Pakistan is making progress toward ending alleged military support for Islamic militant groups or preventing al Qaida, the Afghan Taliban or other extremists from staging attacks in Afghanistan. Even so, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has quietly informed Congress that she’s waived the legal restrictions that would have blocked some $2 billion in U.S. economic and military aid to Pakistan. Disbursing the funds, she said in an official notice, is “important to the national security interests of the United States.” Clinton’s decision illustrates how far the administration ...

A pair of religious groups will display ads celebrating Islam and urging tolerance in various New York City subway stations near the "anti-jihad" advertisements that have prompted a public backlash, the New York Times reports. The groups — one Christian and one Jewish — said their campaigns weren't coordinated. Their ads will coincidentally go up on Monday. A pro-Israel group spnsored the original ad that's generated such an uproar. The copy of that ad, which has been defaced in some stations, reads, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad."

Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of Federal District Court said Friday that the advertisement must be displayed by 5 p.m. Monday. The American Freedom Defense Initiative sued for the right to place the ads.

Ryan Andresen spent 12 years as a Boy Scout. Now that he's 17 and about to graduate from high school, he completed the final requirement to receive the Eagle Scout award, which signifies the highest rank in the organization. Except, according to his mother Karen, when he submitted the paperwork, the scoutmaster for Troop 212 in the San Francisco Bay area told him he could not give him the Eagle Scout honor because he was gay. His mother has started an online petition to protest the decision and it's already gathered 143,877 electronic signatures. "It hurts me so much to watch Ryan suffer for being who he is, because to me, he's perfect," Karen wrote on the petition. ...

Dealership Has Customer Arrested For Getting Too Good Of A Deal We've all seen those signs in shop windows that snarkily remind us that all sales are final. If you decide you don't like the color or something, tough titties. You bought it, now it's yours. So what if a retailer sells somebody something, then decides that it wants to take back that item and re-sell it for more money. Sounds crazy, no? Well, the truth is stranger than fiction my friends, because that's exactly what happened at a Chesapeake, Va. car dealership. Priority Chevrolet decided after the fact that it had sold a Chevy Traverse for $6,000 short of its actual value. When the buyer refused to return it, ...

If use that term, immediately stamp on your forehead, "I'm an idiot." It's an outdated term that is only used as a perjorative by leftards against the Bush administration, or by so-called "real conservatives" who like to wallow around in the slewer sludge with these leftards in a strange love affair in which the two are all queer for each other. Nobody calls themselves a "neo-conservative." Posted for your education and self improvement.

Barack Obama will forever be a historic, as well as historical, figure in American life. The 44th U.S. president, yes, but more noteworthy, he will forever be the first African-American to lead a nation riven through centuries by racial and ethnic division. His election in November 2008 inspired. Even those who may not have supported him could not deny the significance. With it came an optimism that the ideals he stressed as a candidate, like a post-partisan Washington where Democrats and Republicans worked together, were within reach. He took office amid great turmoil, a crashing economy and two wars atop his priorities. Candidate Obama, an orator of great skill and cadence, might ...

A Virginia man allegedly killed himself and his family earlier this week in part because he was upset by the thought of President Barack Obama being re-elected. “He felt that our God-given rights were being taken away,” a family friend identified as “Maggie L.” told The Daily Mail. “He didn’t like where the country was going.” The friend said Albert Peterson, a defense contractor, had a history of paranoia and was also affected by a favorite uncle’s recent suicide. On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported that Peterson, his wife Kathleen and their two sons, Matthew and Christopher, were found dead in their home. According to The Mail, authorities ...

They were following a car chase in western Arizona, when the car pulls off the side of the road and the guy gets out, and runs for a while, and then appears to take a gun and blow his own brains out. Sheppard Smith went into histrionics like he was still on the side of a New Orleans overpass in September 2005 blaming Bush because negroes were too stupid to get out of the way of a hurricane. They cut away to commercial, and Mr. Hissy fit then returns and he says he is sorry we saw what happened. What a drama queen.
Romney, Obama Have Record-Low Approval for Major Candidates

Never have American voters re-elected a president whose work they disapprove of as much as Barack Obama's. Not that Mitt Romney can take much comfort -- they've never elected a challenger they view so negatively, either. Unless things change dramatically, this Election Day will mark a first, no matter who wins. The victor will be a sitting president with a slow economy, 8 percent-plus unemployment and an average Gallup job-approval rating below 50 percent. Or he'll be a challenger who isn't liked personally by a majority of the public and faces notable discord within his own party. Polls since the nominating conventions show Obama slowly widening a slight lead nationally ...
Drop in Durable-Goods Orders Points to Factory Slowdown; GDP Growth Slows
Post Date: 2012-09-28 10:42:04 by jwpegler

The U.S. economy remains shaky, with threats looming at home and abroad, manufacturers mired in a slump and overall growth tepid. The economy's precarious position was underscored Thursday by a pair of government reports. Orders for durable goods—long-lasting manufactured products such as cars and televisions—tumbled 13% in August from July, the biggest monthly drop in more than three years. Much of the decrease came in orders for commercial aircraft, which often show big monthly fluctuations, but the report nonetheless provided new evidence that the once-robust factory sector is losing steam. The manufacturing slowdown would be less worrisome if other segments of the ...
Americans’ Incomes Have Fallen $3,040 During the Obama ‘Recovery’

mericans must be wondering how much more of this “recovery” they can afford. New figures from the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey, compiled by Sentier Research, show that the typical American household’s real (inflation- adjusted) income has actually dropped 5.7 percent during the Obama “recovery.” Using constant 2012 dollars (to adjust for inflation), the median annual income of American households was $53,718 as of June 2009, the last month of the recession. Now, after 38 months of this “recovery,” it has fallen to $50,678 — a drop of $3,040 per household. Yet it gets worse. Amazingly, incomes have dropped even more during the ...

Fact Check: Is Romney's tax rate really lower than yours?
Post Date: 2012-09-26 09:53:46 by jwpegler

President Obama's campaign, with a good dose of help from the media, is pushing a claim that millionaire Mitt Romney is taxed at a "lower rate" than someone making $50,000 a year. The claim, though, is open to debate. It only holds up in a particular scenario in which both income and all payroll taxes are counted. The president's campaign presumably is referring to Romney's release last week of his 2011 tax returns, which showed he paid an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent. This revelation, as might be expected, fueled a wave of campaign stump speeches and videos. The latest was an Obama Web video blasting Romney's "strange take on tax fairness." It ...

Global bacon shortage "unavoidable," group says Britain's National Pig Association, "the voice of the British pig industry," warned recently that a global shortage of bacon and pork "is now unavoidable" because of shrinking herds. The trade group reported Thursday that annual pig production for Europe's main pig producers fell across the board between 2011 and 2012, a trend that "is being mirrored around the world." The group tied the decline to increased feed costs, an effect of poor harvests for corn and soybeans. Even though the pig association issued its dire prediction as part of a campaign to get British supermarkets to pay pig ...
Workers Beg Romney To Stop Latest Bain Outsourcing

Being told to train his replacement was humiliating and surreal, but Tom Gaulrapp said the worst part was when the plant’s US flag was taken down before the Chinese engineers arrived. Gaulrapp decided it was time to take a stand against outsourcing and the man he blames for the loss of his job: Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney, who founded the private equity firm that owns the Freeport, Illinois auto parts plant. Romney’s ties to Bain Capital have burdened the Republican nominee’s hopes of winning the November 6 election as Democrats unfavorably paint him as a corporate raider who pioneered the outsourcing of US jobs to countries with lower labor costs. Romney ...
