Cliff-jumping with Barack
Washington Post, by Charles Krauthammer

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 11/29/2012 11:26:43 PM

Why are Republicans playing the Democrats’ game that the “fiscal cliff” is all about taxation? House Speaker John Boehner already made the preemptive concession of agreeing to raise revenue. But the insistence on doing so by eliminating deductions without raising marginal rates is now the subject of fierce Republican infighting. Where is the other part of President Obama’s vaunted “balanced approach”? Where are the spending cuts, both discretionary and entitlement: Medicare, Medicaid and now Obamacare (the health-care trio) and Social Security? Social Security is the easiest to solve. So you get a sense of the Democrats’ inclination to reform entitlements

There is no fiscal cliff. Obama will grandstand it until he gets his tax increase, and then when nothing happens he will point to the tax increase and say "See!" Republicans in the Houkse should hold the line on taxes. Pass a bill making the current rates permanent and go home.

Agreed! And the pubbies should ask over and over on all the shows: "Why is Obama willing to go over the fiscal cliff over $85 billion?" (taxing the rich rasies a whopping $85 billion)

Yes, give Obama the full Clinton.

George W. Bush was a great president yet Hussein is still campaigning against him. Tax increases for all. 50% don´t pay any income taxes!

No lemmings here for his fiscal cliff.

Take Shillary´s money bag away.

Democrats are looking forward to pushing the USA over the cliff and watching it fall. The crash is what will give them the justification to impose Socialism, with the eager cooperation of the MSM defining the problem, in classic Marxism, as a "tyranny of the rich". "See, we told you so - free enterprise doesn´t work, the American system has never worked!" will be the rallying cry behind President Jim Hussein Jones. As of this writing, far too many in the GOP seem willing to "compromise" with this treasonous plan, as if a one millimeter parachute would lessen the crash. I say, let the world see who the Democrats really are, and the destruction they really intend.

Speaker Gingrich was on Greta tonite and he laid out an incredibly concise and common sense plan on what the house GOP can do. He also carefully explained why this "fiscal cliff" is a fantasy concocted by Obama to keep the Republicans running around in fear and disarray.
Boehner is a coward and falling over himself trying to get the media to "like" him on facebook.

Greta gave Newt almost 20 minutes of talking time and he didn´t waste one second. Remarkable man with a fearless disposition. It was a relief to listen to him. I hope the House listens also.

I too saw the nice long segment Greta gave Newt. I think she too really wanted to talk to one Republican who really knows the score and can clearly articulate precisely what is going on. He did a masterful job.

Gingrich is a moment of sanity. Obvious why the Dems wanted him out of Washington in the late ´90s never to return.

Mitch McConnell has already stated that nobody can negotiate with obama -he just can´t stop lying long enough to be the part of any deal.

You cannot deal with Democrats. I can´t understand why Boehner is talking to Geithner, he´s a stooge. Why are they talking at all? Tell Obama to present a plan that will pass the House, then walk away. Let Obama figure it out.


Reply 11 - Posted by: beamer, 11/30/2012 3:09:38 AM     (No. 9040611)

I sure wish Boehner had Newt´s brains and experience. We need a new Speaker. I wonder how much he has been offered?


Reply 12 - Posted by: Spidey, 11/30/2012 3:19:23 AM     (No. 9040612)

Remember when Bush asked for more money,how Pelosi went around crying about a blank check all the time? Obama has taken the blank check even further wanting $50 billion more in stimulus type money and an end to debt ceiling haggles. Geither just said last week the debt limit should be infinity. Does that sound like anyone with a sense of responsibility?

We all knew the second Obama got re-elected(with foreign votes) that the next 4 years would be unsurvivable hell.

Birth rates are at a near all time low except immigrant women,most of whom have to be latino.We live in a "hook up" world and these people are "hooking up" with the welfare colony and a permanent voting base for the dems.

I wish there were even one elected Republican with any testosterone, any backbone, any gonads!

Whenever any DhimmicRAT mentions "tax increase", some Republican should whip out the video of the 0bama/Clinton primary debate in 2008, where the moderator asked about raising taxes, and 0bama acknowledged that every time tax rates increase, tax revenues decline and the opposite, but he wants higher rates for "fairness" to the poor.

Then, after listening to 0bama´s voice admit he wants to lower revenues, that same Republican should ask "How will lowering revenues help solve this fiscal crisis?? Give us some serious spending cuts, then we will discuss possible tax revenue increases."

Thousands of activists rallied outside the Capitol on Wednesday to protest the IRS targeting of conservative and tea party groups, with many of the event’s speakers laying the blame for the fiasco squarely at the White House. The “Audit the IRS” rally, organized by the Tea Party Patriots organization in response to the agency’s improper scrutiny of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, drew members and leaders of tea party groups across the country, radio personality Glenn Beck and the Senate’s tea party trio: Republicans Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas

The government’s chief auditor on Wednesday said President Obama’s health care overhaul is in danger of missing key October deadlines, raising concerns it could be the nightmare that Republicans and even some Democratic lawmakers have feared of late. In one study released Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office offered a mixed review of the Obama administration efforts to make sure the “exchanges” — insurance markets where individuals and businesses can shop for health plans — will be open for enrollment

DENVER — College campuses are known for proudly proclaiming their refusal to tolerate discrimination against any minority group, but try telling that to a conservative. Few would disagree that conservative professors are an endangered species on campus, which is why the University of Colorado Board of Regents is scheduled to consider Thursday a resolution that would prohibit discrimination based on “political affiliation or political philosophy.” Regent James Geddes said the proposed policy change is aimed at bringing more diversity of intellectual thought

   

 

  


 
Michael Hastings’ Chilling Final Story
PJ Media, by Bryan Preston    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 6/19/2013 8:52:34 PM     Post Reply
Journalist Michael Hastings was killed early Tuesday morning in a bizarre car incident in Los Angeles. Hastings, 33, was best known for writing the Rolling Stone story that ended in Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation as head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Hastings’ final story, “Why Democrats Love to Spy on Americans,” was a searing take on the NSA snooping scandal, which Hastings described as “North Korea-esque.” Hastings pulled no punches as he linked the NSA scandal to the Department of Justice’s spying on reporters and the IRS abuse scandal. Hastings built a case that the same Democrats who turned Bush-era

An IRS supervisor working in Washington told congressional investigators that she personally reviewed applications from groups for tax-exempt status, in testimony that appears to show the agency’s scrutiny of conservative groups extended beyond the confines of the office in Cincinnati. Holly Paz, who was a supervisor in the Internal Revenue Service’s tax-exempt status division, indicated during an interview with congressional investigators that she did review such applications, but indicated that she believed “tea party” meant political advocacy in general — not necessarily conservative groups.

Political appointees at the Defense Department, the CIA and the White House brushed aside concerns from career officials about helping two Hollywood filmmakers research their 2012 movie about the top-secret Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, according to a report from the Pentagon’s inspector general. CIA Director Leon E. Panetta, who had been nominated to take over at the Pentagon; Mike Vickers, defense undersecretary for intelligence; and politically appointed public affairs staff in both agencies and the White House helped secure

The Supreme Court ruled today in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council that federal law does not allow states the option of requiring voters to prove they are American citizens when they register to vote. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA, or “Motor Voter”) creates a standardized national system for registering to vote in federal elections. It allows for registration three ways: (1) in person, (2) when you get your driver’s license, or (3) by mail. The Election Assistance Commission (EAC, created by a later federal law in 2002)

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
