Obama’s inner-circle is shaping-up like the bar scene from “Star Wars.” It’s a swollen throng of unaccountable czars and policy advisors comprised of some of the most bizarre fringe leftists imaginable. As mom always said, you’re known by the company you keep, and Obama keeps some downright creepy company.
Here’s a sampling: First, we have disgraced former green-jobs czar Van “tinfoil hat” Jones. Jones, a self-avowed communist and 9/11 “truther,” was forced to resign after revelations of his extremism became public.
I think most Americans were rooting for Chicago. As I wrote on NRO’s corner, I know I was. But Rio had a really convincing hope and change/ multicultural/new guy on the block case. And consider: given the recent bad windy city publicity (You Tube beatings, state and city corruption, Blagoism, Daley ward mobsterism, rumors of pre-Olympic wheeling and dealing on land angles, administration Chicago hard-ball Rahm Emanuel/David Axelrod politics, etc.), Chicago, Illinois was seen abroad as less competitive, far less competitive, than the other cities.
No single government agency has grown so big and so fast as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and no single agency threatens constitutionally guaranteed property rights and nationwide economic growth than the EPA.
It is the Blob that ate America.
Signed into law by Richard M. Nixon in 1970, the EPA has so consistently twisted the truth about the environment that its announcements must be dissected like a cadaver to find any verifiable facts.
Medicaid audit finds that prescriptions were filled for 1,800 dead patients
In Texas, a dead doctor “wrote” prescriptions for Medicaid recipients. Not to be outdone, pharmacies in Texas and four other states filled controlled-substance prescriptions for more than 1,800 dead Medicaid patients, according to a forensic audit by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Taxpayer dollars were also blown by Texas physicians who handed out narcotics prescriptions while lacking the authority to write them.
A million, peaceful people would show up in front of the Capitol and no one noticed?
Recently while driving from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, some 80 miles down the coast (kind of like leaving Marxatopia for Stalinsville), I tuned into 10,000 watts of soothing radio sanity, KSCO-AM. Similar to the radio station I work for in San Francisco, despite broadcasting from an epicenter of liberalism (the most popular local bumper sticker reads “Keep Santa Cruz Weird”), KSCO remains proudly conservative. It was within moments of capturing KSCO’s signal that I began to hear an engaging commentary by their owner, Kay Zwerling.
To all the Barbara A-Hole’s of the World
During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, “Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.”
Okay, we will!
Address to the 10th Annual Freedom21 Conference
Do you feel it? It’s everywhere. On television. In the newspaper. At any public gathering. In any discussion – even among friends. It’s a feeling of mistrust. Nervousness. Suspicion. Even rage. Mostly, it’s just under the surface. But more and more it’s bubbling to the top. Political debate is breaking into outright war. Just say the words, “I don’t believe government should do that…” and the war is on. Take a side. Feel the heat. Tolerance is a thing of the past.
There is an all out, vicious attack on anyone who doesn’t respond properly. Ridicule. Intimidation. Public shunning. Destruction of careers. Removal from public meetings. All await those who express thoughts outside the politically-correct box.
World events have taken an interesting turn recently, with the Goldstone report, which wreaked havoc in the beginning of the week being nearly completely overshadowed by Iran’s revelation of another nuclear facility, according to diplomats in Vienna on September 25.
The Iran nuclear threat – although theater is a more suitable term – was highlighted repeatedly, first by US President Barack Obama during a UN speech on September 23, then again by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the next day.
Here’s a look at the introduction of a draft bill co-sponsored by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), co-sponsored by John Kerry (D-MA). It is the Senate alternative to the horrid “Cap-and-Trade” bill authored by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA). Call it “Cap-and-Switch.”
