| The Republican National Committee chose to hold its recent winter meeting in Charlotte because North Carolina was a rare bright spot in last year´s presidential election. (Snip) McCrory first ran for the state´s top office in 2008. He lost to Democrat Bev Perdue in what became a brutal lesson in the overwhelming power of the Obama wave. "In ´08, I got killed by the Obama ground machine," McCrory recalls. "We didn´t even know it was happening. The amount of money Obama put on the ground was something we´ve never seen before in North Carolina."

It´s called, they´re in-it to win-it.
You can´t expect people to understand or reason that you´re a good person, or you care about the environment, support public schools, etc.. unless you tell people over and over and over again.
But emphasize the economics of the failed liberal agenda and how it will impact people, and funding for essential gov´t services like teachers, police and firefighters.

Focused!
Focused on results.
Focused on defeating Democrats.
Focused on Democrat failures.
No scolding.
It works!
I especially like the reports that McCrory prevented the Left from distracting him on the issues of abortion and "rape rape". These things did a lot of damage to Romney.

The Boy Scouts of America on Friday moved to partially lift its long-standing ban on gays, with a decision that would allow openly gay youth members but continue to bar gay adults in one of the largest youth serving organizations in America. If the resolution is approved in a nationwide vote in May, "no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone," Deron Smith, the organization´s spokesman, told Reuters. The report found religious groups linked to the Scouts were concerned with homosexual adult leaders not with youth

There are numerous lessons to take away from the Marathon Massacre, but one of these is that it’s time to rethink our immigration policy, especially when it comes to refugees. The Tsarnaevs came to the United States as refugees. And like so many other Muslim refugees, they brought terror to our shores. Tamerlan fled Chechnya with his family because of the conflict in the early 90s, and lived for years in Kazakhstan before getting to the United States as a refugee. There are basic solutions to Islamic terrorism. One of the most basic such solutions is to stop bringing

Nothing to see here. An undemocratic multinational organization with unlimited power seeking to quash press criticism through covert means is nothing to worry about. (Snip) Angered by the British media’s coverage of Brussels, the European Commission says it wants to be a “moral compass” against press misconduct, seeking new national and Europe-wide regulatory powers over journalists. The EU has spent £2.3?million on the previously unpublicised “Mediadem” project to “reclaim a free and independent media”. In a “policy brief” co-authored by its lead British researcher, Rachael Craufurd Smith, Mediadem says it is “simplistic” to “see state influence as inherently stifling”.

NEW YORK — As people lay badly bleeding in the smoke of the Boston Marathon bombings, rescuers immediately turned to a millennia-old medical device to save their lives — the tourniquet. Using belts, shirts and other materials, they tied off bleeding limbs in fast-acting bids to prevent major blood loss, shock and death. Such fast work no doubt saved many lives, doctors at Boston area hospitals said. So it´s interesting to note that if this had happened a decade ago, many emergency responders might have avoided the tourniquet. As recently as the early 2000s, the tourniquet was still enmeshed

The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, at our best when welcoming to our shores those who "yearn to breathe free." (Snip) Right now there are some four million people waiting in other countries, trying to come to America lawfully. While these would-be immigrants languish in our broken system, a bipartisan "Gang of Eight" senators unveiled their proposals Tuesday for a massive, comprehensive immigration bill, which was written and debated behind closed doors. Those in the room, including big business, big labor, and representatives of unauthorized immigrants, will all benefit in various ways from legislated amnesty.

Frequent AT contributor Jack Cashill has produced a great piece at WND about the Martin/Zimmerman fiasco and the work that the "Rag Tag Bunch of Conservative Misfits" at The Conservative Treehouse has done to uncover the truth about "Trayvon." Of the "Treepers," Mr. Cashill says: ... th[os]e dogged researchers ... have literally done more good work on the Martin case than all the newsrooms in America combined. It seems that "Trayvon" should have been on trial in Miami rather than enjoying his "suspension" in Sanford the night George Zimmerman killed him in self-defense.

In brief remarks to the nation yesterday on the Boston Marathon bombings, President Obama said that “we all have a part to play in alerting authorities. If you see something suspicious, speak up.” (Snip) Law enforcement, big-city mayors, and security experts all echoed that famous post-terrorism refrain: “If you see something, say something.” But who really means it? In post-9/11 America, the truth is that our politically correct guardians only want you to see, say, or do something if it can’t be construed by grievance-mongers as racist, sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic, nativist or any other “-ist” or “-ic.”

The discouraging March employment report, with a job increase of only 88,000, raises questions well beyond the dreary state of today’s labor market. Prolonged high unemployment may be silently shredding the social fabric in ways that last for decades. Even before the Great Recession, men with a high school diploma or less faced lower wages and a harder time finding work. This made them less attractive as husbands, contributing to the growth of single-parent families. Stubbornly high unemployment almost certainly aggravates these destructive trends. It’s hard to overstate the breakdown of marriage and the rise of single-parent families.

Further to Andy’s and Shannen’s notes on abortion and language, I see that even those commentators tipping a belated toe into the sewage of the Gosnell trial still can’t bring themselves to address what the guy did. Howard Kurtz mentioned it on CNN yesterday – except that, in one crucial sense, he didn’t: (Snip) He says “Kermit Gosnell is on trial for allegedly running a house of horrors, storing all kinds of mutilated fetuses, some of which were brutally killed.” [Emphasis added.] Fetuses? Gosnell is not on trial for murdering fetuses, he’s on trial for murdering babies

Last Friday, the terminally sophomoric Rachel Maddow turned her adolescent sarcasm on the Republican National Committee for seeking advice from Dick Cheney, Hugh Hewitt and David Horowitz. How absurd it was she cackled. “I thought I was being punked.” In regard to Frontpage editor Horowitz, she was aroused by the fact that the RNC invited him to keynote their conference at the Reagan library (as it happens that very Friday) to advise them on how to persuade minorities that their best interests were served by voting against Democrats, remarks, by the way, that got a standing ovation.

In her book Reconstructing Amelia, Kimberly McCreight brings to the forefront the compelling issue of bullying. Because of societal changes surrounding electronic media and parenting, bullying has become both easier and harder to avoid. It takes on many forms from verbal abuse, emotional abuse, to physical abuse. People are bullied because they are perceived as different whether it´s due to their sexual preferences, the way they dress, their size, race, religion, political affiliation, academic performance, or economic background. American Thinker interviewed experts and those who have been personally affected by bullying.

“We did not come to ask for mercy from nature,” Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin, the Lysenko of Soviet agriculture, once declared. “We must wrest it from her.” Communist science was guided not by the journey from hypothesis to fact but by the dusty proclamations of Marxist theorists. Soviet scientists were expected to reject capitalist science and formulate a science that matched the Communist worldview. The Communist worldview insisted that every living creature could be completely transformed into anything.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21. We don´t have their names yet. The Associated Press has also said the suspects are from Russian region near Chechnya, and had lived in the US at least one year. 11.25 (06.25) A woman in Watertown has snipers

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

The Bears center, who was picked No. 1 overall in the recent WNBA Draft (to the Phoenix Mercury) and is considered by many to be an all-time great in women’s college basketball, casually explained her sexual orientation to Sports Illustrated. Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.
