environmentalists would challenge Obama’s energy strategy
Because they are racist, of course! ~Bob
Obama’s restrictions
on NSA surveillance rely on narrow definition of ‘spying’
Excerpt: Obama placed restrictions on access to domestic
phone records collected by the National Security Agency, but the changes he
announced will allow it to continue — or expand — the collection of personal
data from billions of people around the world, Americans and foreign citizens
alike.
Young Liberal: As Much As I Support Obamacare, I Just Can't
Afford It. By Guy Benson
Excerpt: I'm a 32 year-old healthy male that wants, but
can't afford, Obamacare. I think the law is a step in the right direction, it
just doesn't go far enough to capture my peers in large numbers. Let me offer
my situation: I earn 55,000 a year working in a restaurant, though I have a
Masters Degree. (Wonder what the Masters Degree is in? Peace Studies?
Social Work? ~Bob)
Excerpt: That being said, life's even harder when you're
working under false assumptions that have been drilled into you by your
teachers, college professors, Hollywood ,
and politicians in D.C. Much of what liberalism drums into the young skulls
full of mush simply isn't true and millions of lives have been ruined by people
finding it out the hard way.
Obama Administration Mandates Racism in Schools. By Mona Charen
Excerpt: The Departments of Education and Justice have
teamed up to make the lives of students in tough neighborhoods even tougher.
Framed as a measure to combat discrimination against black and Hispanic
children, the guidelines issued by the Obama administration about school
discipline will actually encourage racial discrimination, undermine the
learning environments of classrooms and contribute to an unjust
race-consciousness in meting out discipline.
At least 2 Americans

Obama To Pave Way America

http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/01/obama-to-pave-way-for-30000-syrian-islamists-to-resettle-in-america/
Excerpt: The gates of Hell have been opened, thanks to President
Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and radical progressives across the
country. In successfully working to end “racial” profiling, albeit Muslim profiling, the next move
is to secure the “settlement” of 30,000 Syrian Islamists within the United States. It
won’t be done all at once, but if Obama and his minions of Muslim lovers have there
way, at least 30,000 Islamists, and many more, will be calling America their
home. (Treat as unverified at this time. ~Bob)
Excerpt: He "purposely climbed a six-foot fence with
three or four layers of barbed wire on top." What could have been his
motivation? Determined tourism? Extreme thirst? The jihad threat to the water
supply is real. And as far back as 2002, the feds arrested two jihadis who were carrying plans
about how to poison water supplies.
NSA collects millions
of text messages daily; DOJ forbids agents from singling out Muslims in
counterterror investigations
Excerpt: This surveillance scandal arises out of our
national bipartisan unwillingness to face the reality of Islamic jihad. Because
we all agree that Islam is a religion of peace, we can't possibly address where
the threat is really coming from, and monitor mosques or subject Muslims with
Islamic supremacist ties to greater surveillance. Instead, we have to pretend
that anyone and everyone is a potential terrorist, and surveil everyone. Our
freedoms and privacy are now at risk because of our refusal to admit the truth
about Islam.
Devastating Benghazi
Excerpt: As the GAI timeline reveals, Obama failed to attend
his daily intelligence briefing for the five consecutive days leading up to the
September 11, 2012 attack of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. ... The day
following the deadly attacks, Obama departed for a Las Vegas campaign rally.
Why Did the

Excerpt: The difference
Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told The Foundry this week that Members of Congress were “misled”—just like the American public. “It’s just outrageous that the Administration thought they could get away with blaming the cause of
Woody Allen: Sacrificing Virgins to the
Entertainment Gods. By Gavin McInnes
http://takimag.com/article/sacrificing_virgins_to_the_entertainment_gods_gavin_mcinnes#axzz2qmrnxvDl
Excerpt: On Sunday, Woody
Allen was awarded the Golden Globes’ highest honor and within seconds, his
estranged “son” Ronan Farrow (look at his face and tell me he’s not Frank
Sinatra’s son) Tweeted: Missed the
Woody Allen tribute - did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he
molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?
Out-Of-State Gunowner
Profiled For Traffic Stop
Excerpt: State police in Maryland have launched an internal
investigation into an incident where a man reported being stopped by an officer
and asked, “Where is your gun?” But social media isn’t waiting for the results,
with countless calls for a lawsuit over the incident that happened over the
holiday period as John Filippidis, described in his local newspaper as a
“silver-haired family man, business owner, employer and taxpayer,” drove through
Maryland returning from family events in New Jersey to his Florida
home. (This is not about owning a gun or gun control. It is the
unconstitutional abuse of power of our burgeoning police state. --JB)
Gunman Bursts Into
Dollar Store And Threatens To Kill Everyone – Before Police Could Even Respond,
He Was Dead
Excerpt: An armed man entered a Orrville, Ala. , Dollar General on Thursday, waved his
gun in the air and threatened to kill everyone, AL.com reports. Though motive is unclear, he never got the
chance to hurt anyone because a customer carrying a concealed handgun
neutralized him with a deadly shot.
Hizballah Preparing
for War with Israel
Excerpt: Hizballah continues to entrench itself in the
Syrian civil war, while facing a string of radical Sunni bombing attacks in
their Lebanese strongholds. The terrorist organization is also facing renewed
international backlash regarding its alleged role in the murder of former Lebanese Prime
Minister Rafiq Hariri.
Obamacare Official: We Have No Clue How Many People Have
Paid for New Coverage. By Guy Benson
Excerpt: An Obamacare official admitted in testimony
yesterday that the administration has no idea how many of the supposed 2.1
million new "enrollees" are actually paid up -- and are
therefore actually enrolled (though even that hasn't
been a silver bulletfor everyone). And why, pray tell, don't they have a
handle on this important number? Because the online functions that would track
this sort of thing...still haven't been built.
Battling Cancer, Senate Conservative Stalwart to Step Down.
By Guy Benson
I've met him. Sorry to hear. ~Bob. Excerpt: Senator Tom
Coburn, a Republican of Oklahoma, has been a conservative titan in Congress
since his arrival in 1995. Throughout his career, Coburn has combated runaway
spending -- at times running afoul of his own party's leadership -- while
championing the pro-life cause (as a medical doctor, Coburn has delivered more
than 4,000 babies over his career) and other conservative issues.
Know Your Enemy. By
Thomas Joscelyn
http://defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/know-your-enemy/
http://defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/know-your-enemy/
In the summer of 2008, Barack Obama, senator and
presidential candidate, toured the war zones of Afghanistan
and Iraq .
Obama had endeared himself to the antiwar left by denouncing President Bush’s
decision to topple Saddam Hussein and repeatedly claiming that the war in Iraq had diverted resources from defeating al
Qaeda and its allies in South Asia . Obama did
not tone down this criticism even as he spoke with CBS News from Kabul on July 20, shortly
before proceeding to Saddam’s former abode. “We got distracted by Iraq ,” Obama
said. Afghanistan
“has to be the central focus, the central front [in] our battle against
terrorism.”
Not His War:
How in good conscience could a commander-in-chief send troops to fight a war he
wasn’t serious about? By Charles
Krauthammer
Excerpt: Not his? America is
at war and he’s America ’s
commander-in-chief. For the soldier being shot at in the field, it makes no
difference under whose administration the fighting began. In fact, three out of
four Americans killed in Afghanistan
have died under Barack Obama’s command. That’s ownership enough.
Senate says no doubt
al-Qaeda in on Benghazi
Excerpt: The report, released Wednesday by the committee's
Democratic majority, said individuals affiliated with groups such as al-Qaeda
in the Islamic Maghreb and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula were in on the
Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S.
compound. (I've always thought that the "Stand Down" order was issued
because Obama decided it was better for a few Americans to die than to risk a
firefight that killed a lot of Muslims, leading to large anti-American protests
in the middle of his campaign. ~Bob)
The Left Versus the Realities of Race.By Jack Kerwick
Excerpt: In almost every instance of the so-called “knock
out game,” perpetrators have been black and their victims mostly white (and/or)
Asian. There is one—and only one—case in which the racial dynamics of
this violence reversed course, an incident from Texas involving a white predator and a black
prey. Not unsurprisingly, this is the only instance of “the game” that Barack
Obama’s Department of Justice is choosing to pursue as a “hate crime.”

Excerpt: Between 2002 and 2012, federal agencies spent more
than half a trillion dollars ($688 billion) on payments that should never have
been made.
Excerpt: Eyewitnesses said the bomb exploded at Tablighi
Markaz on Pajaggi Road
run by the Tableeghi Jamaat, just before Maghrib prayers. Around a thousand
people were gathered at the seminary for a Shab-i-Juma (Thursday) congregation
when the bomb ripped through the centre, according to reports.
Excerpt: The Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant
claimed credit for today's bombing in the Lebanese city of Hermel . The attack is the latest by al
Qaeda-affiliated groups that have targeted Iran
and Hezbollah in Lebanon .
Legalization Throws
Our Kids Under the Bus
Excerpt: The new way the left is trying to distract us is
the continuing saga of legalization of drugs, specifically, now, marijuana.
This is bad news for our society, but it’s really bad news for our kids.
The Humanities and
Us. By Heather Mac Donald
Excerpt: Sitting atop an entire civilization of aesthetic
wonders, the contemporary academic wants only to study oppression, preferably
his own, defined reductively according to gonads and melanin.

the Hamas-controlled territory.
Will Obama's 'promise
zone' program really help the poor?
Excerpt: Presidents have launched such 'place-based'
programs before, but it's not clear how effective initiatives like Obama's
'promise zones' have been at lifting the poor communities they're intended to
aid.
Income Inequality. By Walter E. Williams
Excerpt: Democrats plan to demagogue income inequality and
the wealth gap for political gain in this year's elections. Most of what's said
about income inequality is stupid or, at best, ill-informed. Much to their
disgrace, economists focusing on measures of income inequality bring little
light to the issue. Let's look at it.
The cowardice of the
new anti-Semitism. By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: Given academia's past obsessions with the Jewish
state, the targeting of Israel is
not new. Yet why do the professors focus on Israel and notSaudi Arabia ,
which denies women the right to drive and only recently granted them the right
to vote? Why not Russia ,
which has been accused of suppressing free speech, or India , which
has passed retrograde anti-homosexual legislation?
Excerpt: You know those humanity assist commercials where
they asked you to send in $19 dollars a month to support an overseas child? Come
on! You've seen them; they show an eight year old taking care of three or four
five year olds, drinking dirty water and cruising trash cans for their next
meal. Well first of all, check Charity Watch or some other reference to make
sure the organization sponsoring these commercials are legit. Most of them are
simply fronts for raking in money with as much as 80 percent of the funds they
raise are kept in house to enrich these phony good samaritans.
Al Qaeda behind 95%
of world's suicide bombings
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/01/al-qaeda-behind-95-of-worlds-suicide-bombings.html
Excerpt: Hardest hit: Robert Pape, who several years ago published with great fanfare a study that purported to show that most suicide terror is committed by non-Muslims. Not only was Pape wrong; he was on the dole of Hamas-linked CAIR.

Excerpt: A car bomb has exploded in the north-eastern
Nigerian city of Maiduguri ,
killing at least 17 people. The Islamist group Boko Haram said it carried out
the attack. A suspect has been arrested, the military says.
Excerpt: During the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama
was asked if he would favor of a higher capital gains tax rate, even if the government
received less revenue as a result. His answer: Yes. When you stop to think
about it, that’s a remarkable answer. By hypothesis, everyone is worse off. The
owners of capital are worse off. The government is worse off. Poor people who
depend on government are worse off.
Exchange CEO: Anthem acknowledges billing, payment
problems. By Arielle Levin
Becker
Excerpt: s of last Friday, only 8 percent of customers
slated to have coverage effective Jan. 1 had been recorded in Anthem’s system

No Country for Liberal Republicans. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Dead Republicans are held up as examples of
moderation who wouldn’t fit in today’s extremist party. Goldwater, Nixon
and Reagan, once damned as deranged extremists lusting to blow up the planet,
are temporarily rehabilitated and compared unfavorably to today’s Republicans
and favorably to today’s Democrats.
Most of the Benefits
of a Minimum Wage Increase Would Not Go to Poor Households
Excerpt: Most workers earning at or close to the minimum
wage are not the sole earners in a household and most of them are not in poor
households. For those two reasons, raising the minimum wage is not a targeted
way to help poor people, says David R. Henderson, a research fellow with the
Hoover Institution. Economists Joseph J. Sabia and Richard V. Burkhauser
examined the effects of state minimum wage increases between 2003 and 2007 and
reported that they found no evidence the increases lowered state poverty rates.
Mosque spokesman
