Oct 31, 2010 By Peter Raymond In yet another scheme to radically transform our country, progressives have quietly carried out their plan to incrementally disenfranchise citizens and grant extraordinary voting rights to non-citizens. This is accomplished by challenging requirements to prove citizenship when registering to vote and replacing the “one man, one vote” principle with [...]
Oct 31, 2010 By Stella Paul I know who’s got my vote for the cutest couple since Bonnie and Clyde. It’s the larcenous lovebirds from Chicago: Jan Schakowsky, the most far-left member of Congress, and her bank robber husband, Robert Creamer, who wrote Obamacare in jail. What a romance! She waited as he served time [...]
Oct 31, 2010 By Monty Pelerin An interview with a Democratic Washington insider described as “a longtime Washington D.C. insider, and former advisor to the Obama election campaign and transition team …” describes the “administration in crisis, and a president increasingly withdrawn from the job of President.” Whomever the Democrat insider might be, his comments [...]
Oct 31, 2010 By Clarice Feldman A certain Harvard professor named Kloppenburg (which my rusty Yiddish indicates means “meatball hill”) has written a forthcoming book about Obama. When an article on it was published in the New York Times, this piece invited derision of Kloppenburg, the paper, and the object of his foolish hagiography. Kloppenburg [...]
Oct 31, 2010 AFGHANISTAN STORIES: RC-East, Bagram Media Center Kunar veterinarians get continuing education Story and photos by AF Capt. Peter Shinn, 734th ADT Army Maj. Loren Adams, veterinary officer for the Iowa NG’s 734th ADT, teaches knot tying for improvised animal halters, Oct. 21 to Dr. Abdullah of Marawara District, and [...]
Obama’s commerce secretary has a history of fiscal folly Just weeks after Obamacare was signed into law earlier this year, Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke was questioning the $100-plus million Form 8-K write-downs announced by corporations such as Caterpillar Inc., Deere & Co., Boeing Co. and AT&T to account for their anticipated higher costs of [...]
The Obama administration has doled out a record amount of college loans this year to help students cope with the affordability crisis in college tuitions. Meanwhile, college tuitions have become yet more unaffordable. Gee, could there be a connection? By James A. Bacon The Washington Times 6:58 p.m., Friday, October 29, 2010 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/oct/29/obama-spends-billions-only-adds-to-college-costs/ Social Bookmarking
One of the most memorable scenes in “The Wizard of Oz” is when Toto yanks on the curtain to reveal the bogus wizard faking a larger-than-life image. In 2008, the media played the role of the curtain, shielding Barack Obama. Not enough Americans saw his thin resume, lifelong radical connections, sealed college records or brief [...]
Things in Nevada are getting hotter. Not content with the direction the country and their home state is going in, a group of Nevada voters calling themselves “Concerned Nevadans That Care About Our Country” will launch an anti-Harry Reid ad this evening. Members of this group represent those from traditional Democratic coalitions and base demographics, [...]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nevada Sen. Harry Reid is “an illegal alien’s best friend.” His opponent let insurance companies “refuse to cover colon cancer tests.” In New Hampshire, the governor freed a man who “sexually molested a 7 year old.” By Philip Elliott Associated Press 8:43 a.m., Saturday, October 30, 2010 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/oct/30/why-your-mailbox-chamber-political-horrors/ Social Bookmarking
