Presidents’ Day: Government Vacations,
Islamists flourish, GM flounders

Washington Times, by Charles Ortel

Original Article

Posted By:lmruth, 2/17/2013 6:06:52 PM

New York - The positive message that carried the 2012 national election for Barack Obama and Joe Biden was simple: “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive”. Now we know the slogan that swayed 65.4 million Obama-Biden voters is one part false premise, the other part whopping lie. Events since September 11, 2012 prove that killing Bin Laden has not brought decisive victory in the War against Al Qaeda and allied adherents to militant Islam. Moreover, preliminary disclosures made February 14, 2013 by General Motors show that America’s largest vehicle producer

Good article. I suspect Chrysler is as financially unstable as GM, but it is hiding in the rusted out body of Fiat.

Would be delighted to see GM go down, completely down. Who would suffer? Unions that own it now thanks to the biggest liar since Horn Dog and Hildabeast Clinton.

What goes around occasionally comes around. I hope so for this communist asshat and his union enablers.

Who would suffer, #2?
The taxpayer would suffer.
The Pension Guarantee Trust Fund, currently nearly insolvent, would have to pay for all thos fat union pensions.

#2 - Don´t think I coulda said it any better! Amen.
And to think it just last week we were hearing how great GM was doing thanks to the J-School flunkies that make up the complicit knee-pad press!

#3 - We´re already suffering. We´re never going to see that money come back so now it´s called cut your losses time.

Short GM and go long on al-Qaida. That about covers it. I wonder where al-Qaida is traded?

Things are no better in America and will probably get worse over the next four years. Elections have consequences.

First of all, the taxpayer will NEVER EVER get paid back what GM owes. They take their profits and turn it into union bonuses and GM got a gift from Barry in that they don´t have to pay corpororate taxes for 20 years. Second, if GM goes under, those union pensioners are in for a surprise because the goobermint limited the dollar amount of what they would hand over in pensions (unless Barry intervenes by EO and gives them the same pension plus a raise).

If this article doesn´t cheer you up, just consider the fact that the average UAW ´workers´ at GM and Chrysler are getting a profit sharing check this year for $7,000.

You know , those ´working families´ that Obama always talks about.

Hillary Clinton’s quiet campaign for President
Washington Times, by Lisa M. Ruth    Original Article
Posted By: lmruth- 4/6/2013 11:51:40 AM     Post Reply
Hillary Clinton is running for President in 2016. Her silence gives it away. Rand Paul made his intentions clear by boisterously launching a filibuster against CIA appointee John Brennan and making a stand on immigration. He has been on the cover of newspapers and magazines, making proactive speeches and commenting on the statements of others. He is, clearly, positioning for a run in 2016.

During the 2012 Republican National Convention, I had the pleasure of interviewing former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. This was a “walk and talk” interview. He was in high demand from virtually every media outlet, yet was still gracious enough to do several quick interviews with ordinary citizens.

Carville supports Ready for Hillary:

Washington - The Ready for Hillary Pac can count long time Clinton adviser James Carville as one of the faithful. Carville sent out an email blast to announce his getting in line saying, “I’m not going to waste my time writing you about how great Hillary is or how formidable she’d be – you know it all already. But it isn’t worth squat to have the fastest car at the racetrack if there ain’t any gas in the tank — and that’s why the work that Ready for Hillary PAC is doing is absolutely critical. We need to convert the hunger that’s out there for Hillary’s candidacy into a real grassroots organization.”

U.S. voters are holding steady in their support for building the Keystone XL oil pipeline from western Canada to Texas, according to a new survey conducted this week. They are also more confident than ever it can be built without hurting the environment. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of likely U.S. voters favor building the pipeline, while 26% are opposed. This includes 34% who Strongly Favor the pipeline and 12% who Strongly Oppose it.

HONOLULU - If you voted for the Libertarian presidential candidate in last year’s election over Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, you now officially have the right to declare “Don’t blame me, I voted for Gary Johnson!” It’s time for Americans to finally be honest about the true direction our nation is headed. There is a detestable, cancerous, elitist outlook in Washington D.C. that is marching America in quicktime step to the destruction of our way of life and the death knell of our Republic.

Lee Buchheit appeared on Bloomberg TV today, speaking about the unprecedented events that recently transpired in Cyprus: namely stealing funds from depositors bank accounts to prop up failing banks. Mr. Buchheit has overseen more bank and sovereign debt restructuring than any other individual in the world.

More anti-libertarian nonsense:
Libertarians are heartleu
Washington Times, by Thomas Mullen    Original Article
Posted By: lmruth- 3/28/2013 7:00:51 PM     Post Reply
This week’s anti-libertarian nonsense is “libertarians are heartless.” There are many variations on this theme. Libertarians oppose government-run education so they must not want poor people to get an education. They oppose government-run healthcare so they must want poor, sick people to die. They oppose government-subsidized housing so they must want poor people to be homeless, too (if they aren’t already). Libertarians are selfish, amoral…You get it.

Marco Rubio State of the Union
Response: Why "Watergate" matters

Posted By: lmruth- 2/15/2013 9:15:09 AM     Post Reply
After President Barack Obama gave his 2013 State of the Union address, Florida Senator Marco Rubio delivered the Republican response. Obama offered government activism. Rubio extolled free enterprise. This is a worthy "national conversation." The liberal Obama media instead obsessed over Rubio reaching for a cup of water during his speech. Liberals called it a gaffe. CNN even speculated this could end his political career. As expected, Obamatrons piled on. A speech contrasting the Reagan world vision with European social democracy governance favored by Obama was lost in the fog of MSNBC, CNN, and liberal comedians.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Get ready for the last straw. First, though, I´d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a forbidden column. Yup, I am about to say something about the Great Barack Obama Identity/Eligibility Scandal again. I know that this is one rich and urgent topic that doesn´t see the light of day in certain so-called news outlets -- and I say that from the experience of watching my own syndicated columns

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
