Sorry for no digest for two days. I was tied up with
personal health and family issues. Came back to about 500 e-mails, so having to

Quotes from Suicide of
the West by James Burnham, published in 1964: "The best of
liberals...can find himself...stuffing a few extra ballots into the box to make
quite sure that the will of the people coincides with his personal program for
the march toward the good society." (P. 148)
"A friend of mine, who is the lone non-liberal in a
large department of the humanities division of a large university told me
wonderingly: "My colleagues have read hardly anything of history,
political theory or political philosophy. They know nothing of economics,
geography or strategy. They are acquainted with only the thinnest surface of
current events, gleaned by skimming through the daily paper and perhaps Time or Newsweek. Yet, when any important public event happens anywhere in
the world, everyone of them reacts with the speed and automatic certainty of a
fully programmed computer to give the orthodox liberal evaluation which will be
confirmed by the recognized public spokesmen within a day or two." (P.
143)

Israel and the Plight
of Mideast Christians: Just as Jews were once expelled from Arab lands,
Christians are now being forced from countries they have long inhabited.
Excerpt: The trauma of those priests is now commonplace
among Middle Eastern Christians. Their share of the region's population has
plunged from 20% a century ago to less than 5% today and falling. In Egypt Baghdad Iran Saudi Arabia
Moroccan teenager's suicide after she was forced

Warmists Confirmed as
Cheats, Liars, Fakers; Pope Still Catholic, etc. - by James Delingpole,
Telegraph UK
Excerpt: Climatism (as Steve Goreham calls it) has very
little to do with science, if indeed it ever did. Rather it's the new global
religion and as with all religions it's really not about evidence but about
faith. And when you're filled with zeal of religious conviction, what crime is
there that you wouldn't commit to spread your wondrous, right and noble creed?
Memo to British Prime
Minister David Cameron and Obama: If You Want Cheaper Oil, Stop Printing Money!
- by James Delingpole, Telegraph UK
Excerpt: One of the understandable issues of concern which
has been raised during David Cameron's Brokeback-Mountain-style bonding session
with his fellow liberal Barack Obama is the rising price of oil. Maybe they
should watch the above clip of Ron Paul telling it like it is to Obama's
Spendthrift-in-Chief (aka head of the Federal Reserve) Ben Bernanke. (H/T
Cobden Centre). The point Ron Paul makes is a very simple one: when you print
money everything – including oil – gets more expensive.
VIDEO: Rep. Allen
West to Newsmax.TV: "My Record Speaks for Itself"
Excerpt: U.S. Rep. Allen West tells Newsmax.TV that his
record will carry him to re-election after his move to avoid a redistricting
“ambush.” “Momma didn’t raise no fool,” the freshman Florida Republican said,
explaining his recent decision to move from his 22nd Congressional District to
the newly configured 18th District.
Excerpt: But the figure Obama uses — proved oil reserves —
vastly undercounts how much oil the U.S. U.S.
Poll: Majority Don't
See Loss of Liberty
Excerpt: A new Public Religion Research Institute poll
released yesterday—which was done in partnership with Religion News
Service—found that a majority (56 percent) of Americans do not believe that the
right of religious liberty is being threatened in America
Saddled with College
Debt - by Melissa M. Hoton, The Washington
Excerpt: Looking back, it’s easy to say that my parents
failed. They should have asked more questions and sought counsel. More
important, they should never have co-signed the loans or allowed their
financial information in our aid applications because they had no intention,
nor means, of paying for our pricey educations.
The bin Laden plot to
kill President Obama
Excerpt: Before his death, Osama bin Laden boldly commanded
his network to organize special cells in Afghanistan
and Pakistan U.S. Afghanistan

Excerpt: An Afghan soldier shot to death a 22-year-old
Marine at an outpost in southwestern Afghanistan
Are We On the Verge of the Obama Great Depression? by Wayne Allyn Root
Excerpt: But
Obama and his socialist cabal have channeled Hoover and FDR, who turned an
ordinary bust into The Great Depression with a toxic strategy of bigger
government, more spending, more debt, expanded entitlements, more rules and
regulations strangling business, higher minimum wages, more power to unions,
and dramatically higher taxes to pay for this expansion of big government.
Sound familiar? Simply add in "green energy" and this is the same
toxic brew of the Obama game plan.

‘We Can’t Wait’ to
Fundraise: Obama Tries to Revive That 2008 Feeling: With Valerie Jarrett at his
side, the president took Air Force One to Chicago and his first of Friday's
five donor events. by Bridget Johnson
Excerpt: The past couple of months have seen a frenzied push
of “We Can’t Wait" initiatives from the White House, whether it’s
launching 15 new Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation or expanding
government purchases of bio-based products. Now, President Obama can’t wait to
fundraise. Last week at this time, the president was giving a standard
post-jobs-report speech touting the 8.3 percent unemployment rate at a Virginia
Rolls-Royce Crosspointe facility.

step-father agreed to marriage to settle his debt. By Shamsul Islam
Excerpt: Four people were arrested by Mochiwala police on
Sunday on a girl’s complaint about her forced marriage to an elderly man to
settle a loan her step-father had owed him. (Where the real "War on
Women" rages. ~Bob.)
Egyptian Clerics
Repeat Franklin Prophecy Myth, Call the Jews "Donkeys" and "Apes
and Pigs," and Say: Making Our
Children Loathe the Jews Is a Form of Worship of Allah
Excerpt: Egyptian cleric Gharib Ramadhan: There are very
many traits that characterize the Jews, and the Koran focused on a few of them,
such as the violation of commitments, from which we suffer to this day. Not
just us in Egypt
SEN. SCOTT BROWN:
Keystone pipeline was a missed opportunity

http://www.patriotledger.com/topstories/x1569575100/SEN-SCOTT-BROWN-Keystone-pipeline-was-a-missed-opportunity#ixzz1pWUvkEE7
Excerpt: I joined a bipartisan group of 56 Senate
colleagues, including 10 Democrats, in voting to support Keystone. It fell just
short of the 60 votes that were needed, but it shows that there is bipartisan
agreement. We’ll never get a handle on our energy problems as long as
government keeps throwing obstacles in the path of America

Another example of The Chicago Way. ~Bob. Excerpt: How can
the boss of the Democratic Party take a completely
inexperienced political hack — one with little if any courtroom experience —
and make him a judge? Ask that of the Democratic candidates and an amazing
thing happens. They become awfully quiet.

Unions are Doing to Our Country by William McGurn
Excerpt: This is the reason Governor Chris Christie’s
reforms have had such resonance. Almost anywhere he points, he has before him
an example of how New Jersey New Jersey
DOJ seeks to ensure
illegal aliens get federal housing
Excerpt: In a case that legal experts say defies logic and
common sense, in order to ensure that low-income minorities get taxpayer-subsidized
housing, Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a nationwide
discrimination probe that, ironically, is focusing on an area where the
overwhelming number of public housing residents are Latino and black.

Excerpt: It is sad to see the president of the United States
CBO: Regulations,
Taxes Can Hurt Small Businesses
Excerpt: A CBO report published March 12 examines the
job-creation records of small businesses and the federal regulatory and tax
environments they face. It finds that small businesses create more jobs faster
than their larger counterparts, but often face pressures arising from federal
tax and regulatory policy. “The ability of all firms to expand or become more
efficient – that is, to produce goods and services in a more cost-effective way
– is influenced by federal policies that determine the taxes those firms pay,
the availability of credit, the regulations with which they must comply, and
other factors,” the CBO said. (To economic conservatives, this is as obvious as
a fire engine speeding past with a wailing siren. To liberals, it is heresy of
the worst kind and so obviously untrue that the authors are unfit for continued
government employment; burning at the stake is too good for them. At least
there is now an official government report saying so. Ron P.)
Victimology 101 at UC
San Diego
Excerpt: As had happened on two earlier occasions on the
UCSD campus when a similar divestment initiative was presented, the proposal
was roundly defeated in a 20-13 vote, stunning its supporters. (…) But a
telling, if not unexpected, thing happened once the student groups who had
sponsored this odious divestment resolution actually lost their bid to
implement it: supporters of the divestment initiative immediately proclaimed
that the initiative had failed because opponents of the resolution were
“racists” and bigots. (…) These victimized students and faculty also
self-righteously proclaimed in a letter to the UCSD administration that the
pro-Israel faculty and staff who spoke against the resolution at the meeting
should not even have had a voice in the proceedings….
How Drama Queens
Sabotage the Tea Party
Excerpt: Drama queens come in all shapes, sizes, and
genders. We have all known our share. Some folks revel in crisis. In a sick
way, they need it. The only sense of purpose in their lives arises from
perceived persecution and perpetual emergency. Such people actually avoid
solutions and resent those who provide them because a solution removes any excuse
for mania. (Most professional managers have experience with at least one
employee who would’ve made a good contestant on Queen For A Day (a radio and TV
show in the 50s where contestants vied to tell the most pitiful life story to
win prizes). Fortunately, those employees usually self-destruct in short order
and leave on their own, doing minimal damage to the organization because of
their short duration as employees. I can only imagine the nightmare they’d be
in a voluntary organization. Ron P. Having run volunteer organizations, the
volunteer leader who is in it for self-aggrandizement rather than the mission
is very destructive. ~Bob.)

I highly encourage you to listen to this alert. My bet is Israel Iran

Strategy Memo Details
Liberal PR Plan to Promote Obamacare
Excerpt: This week, The Heritage Foundation's Rob Bluey
obtained a four-page strategy memo that outlines a White House-coordinated
campaign to force an unwilling public to accept Obamacare. Once again, all the
strategies by the Administration and its liberal allies involve how better to
message this hated law as the anniversary of its passage approaches and the
Supreme Court hears oral arguments on its constitutionality. If only the
Administration put this much effort into lowering the price of gas or creating
jobs.

launches as part of the deal with Washington U.S. , South Korea Iowa
Is Liberalism Lazy
and Immoral? Mona Charen
Excerpt: The best advocates are often converts. So it is
with Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute. Brooks
has an important forthcoming book, "The Road to Freedom," which I'll
discuss in a minute, but it's worth pausing over the unusual career of Brooks
himself because it says much about happiness, free enterprise and the unique
American spirit that Brooks has spent the last decade attempting to save. The
son of two liberal college professors, Brooks writes that when he was growing
up in Seattle
Despite Rights
Concerns, U.S. Plans to
Resume Egypt
Aid? Bribe! ~Bob. Excerpt: The
Obama administration plans to resume military aid to Egypt, American officials
said on Thursday, signaling its willingness to remain deeply engaged with the
generals now running the country despite concerns over abuses and a
still-uncertain transition to democracy.
Why America
Excerpt: Some doctors aren't waiting to find out. Instead,
they're going to work for hospitals, which have greater financial resources
and, because of their leverage with insurers, are also often paid more than
small practices for the same services. The consulting firm Accenture projects
that, by 2013, only around a third of doctors in all specialties will own their
own practices, down from about 43% in 2009 and nearly half in 2005.
Troops at DFW Mar 14
2012 LAST DAY
Excerpt: This video was taken yesterday, March 14, 2012. It
was of the last R and R flight coming to DFW International. There were in
excess of 3,000 people there including several Tuskegee Airmen, and Congressman
Sam Johnson a former POW of 7 years. The Sergeant Major of the Army was there
along with the Commanding General for Ft. Hood
Moon History: NASA
Video Shows Volcanoes, Meteorite Impacts
Excerpt: How did the 'man in the moon' take shape? A new
NASA video on lunar evolution explains the process, from the moon's beginnings
as a ball of magma to the intricate craters we see today. It's 4.5 billion
years compressed into three minutes. (This is a very plausible audio-visual
simulation of how the Moon acquired its current array of features. Oddly, one
of the things the science is NOT settled on is how the Moon came to be formed
initially and every current idea has problems. Some hold that two near-by balls
of gas condensed to form each, independently. Another idea is that the Moon
formed elsewhere, made a near-Earth pass and was captured by Earth’s gravity (I
sort-of like this one). Still another is that Earth was originally larger, some
third object struck it at cometary speed and cracked off the part we now call
the Moon. It IS known that at one time the Moon was much closer to the Earth
than it is now, but that could fit any of these scenarios. Ron P.)
Bill Maher's Toilet
Mouth Exempt From Democrats' Standards of Decency By Crystal Wright
Excerpt: Could it be because Bill Maher is a huge supporter
of Democrats and just gave $1 million to Obama’s Super PAC Priorities USA?
Maher repeatedly utters vile, disgusting things which go well beyond the point
of decency and all we hear is crickets from Democrats and the liberal news
media. Maher mocked Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who prays before
games with the following tweet on December 24, 2011 “Wow, Jesus just f**ked
#TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to
Hitler “Hey, Buffalo PAC. No one in the Obama camp has even
criticized Maher's language even while accepting the money. The liberals are
disgusting and extremely hypocritical in their positions and statements about
women with whom they disagree. But when a conservative makes even a single
remark in bad taste, he his forced to confess, repent, grovel and wear the
mantle of bigotry. I used to watch Maher but increasingly found him tiresome in
his predictable prejudices and in incredibly bad taste. No one who knows me
would call me a prude, but the combination of Maher's boring repartee and bad
taste were not worth the price of HBO. Then there is Louis CK, who at least had
the common sense to pull out of hosting annual Radio & Television dinner to
which the mainstream media had invited him. Listen to this jerk on air: http://cnsnews.com/video/culture/comedian-louis-ck-sarah-palin.The
liberals are always bemoaning the lack of civility in politics, but if you
express disagreement with Obama you must be a racist. They are the worst
offenders of uncivil speech that stems from intolerance that boasts of
tolerance. They never feel the need to apologize or curb their bad behavior but
would force their opponents to do so (watch FCC proceedings for this).
Cordially, Larry Greenberg)
Excerpt: This appears to be one of President Obama’s
favorite facts — he says it almost every time he speaks about energy issues —
but readers are getting confused. ... On the surface, the president’s numbers
are correct, based on official government data. But this is a good example of
what we call “non sequitur facts” — two bits of information that actually bear
little relationship to each other.
