Mayor uses
billionaire conservative Joe Ricketts to show how political pressure is applied
the Chicago Way .
By John Kass
Excerpt: With so much going on in Chicago this weekend,
it's amazing that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has the time to teach NATO delegates
a lesson on the use of power politics. But the man is a teacher indeed. He
isn't teaching the world leaders to sing in perfect harmony. The Rahmfather is
teaching another kind of politics. The kind that brings influential people to
their knees.
CAIR Officials
Demonize America
on Iranian TV
Good citizens criticize their country and its leaders INSIDE
the country. They don't air their grievances to a regime whose slogan
is "Death to America ."
Moreover, if the US
was indeed at war with Islam and is hostile to Muslims, why do we let them
enter the country and give them the same right to attain citizenship as any
other legal immigrant? Their right to free speech is certainly not being
suppressed. There is certainly no observable trend of profiling and jailing
them. Why come here if you reject the society and its culture? Could it be that
CAIR is practicing jihad by means of propaganda? Our laws and the current
political climate allow such behavior without consequence. Cordially, Larry Greenberg
64% Prefer a
Government With Fewer Services and Lower Taxes
Excerpt: Most voters continue to prefer a more hands-off
government in return for lower taxes. A new Rasmussen Reports national
telephone survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a government with
fewer services and lower taxes over one with more
services and higher taxes. That's unchanged from last month and consistent with findings in regular
surveys since late 2006. Just 25% prefer a government with more services.
Eleven percent (11%) are not sure which size government they prefer.
(Unfortunately, my experience with five terms in the Massachusetts state senate ids that when
people say they want lower spending, they mean on programs that benefit others.
They want more spending on programs that benefit them or that they believe in.
Every dollar the government spends has a constituency that lobbies for it as a
vital service. ~Bob.)
Man who had 30 kids
with 11 women wants child-support break
Your tax dollars at work. ~Bob. Excerpt: The 33-year-old Knoxville , Tenn. ,
resident has reportedly set a Knox
County record for his
ability to reproduce. He has 30 children with 11 women. And nine of those children were born in the last three years, after Hatchett
-- who is something of a local celebrity -- vowed "I'm done!" in a 2009 TV interview, saying he
wouldn't father more children.
Excerpt: Hamas-linked CAIR and about 25 Muslims attended a
rally Friday at the Statehouse urging Kansas Governor Sam Brownback to veto a
bill banning foreign (anti-sharia) laws that they say actually is an attack on
Islam. (See, it would take away their Allah-given rights to stone rape victims,
hang gay folks, murder anyone who leaves Islam, beat their four wives or marry
nine-year-olds, also protected in Shari'a Law. ~Bob.)

Excerpt: Its elected officials have been embroiled in some
of the most sensational scandals of the past few decades, including the Keating
Five, AzScam and the alt-fuels fiasco. One governor was impeached and removed
from office while another resigned after being found guilty of bank and wire
fraud. A former U.S.
congressman from Arizona
has been awaiting trial for years on charges including extortion, embezzlement
and money laundering.
The real curse of the
Kennedys: It’s their treatment of women. By Maureen Callahan
Excerpt: Along with their waning power, wealth, privilege
and prestige, here’s another element of the Camelot mystique that needs to be
extinguished: the myth of “The Kennedy Curse.” It’s almost a reflexive national
reaction when we hear of yet another Kennedy dying too young, so of course it
was invoked again last week, when news broke that Mary Richardson Kennedy, the
estranged 52-year-old wife of Robert Kennedy Jr., had hung herself in her barn
on Wednesday. A curse, however, implies supernatural intervention by vengeful
gods jealous of mortal youth, beauty, brilliance.
Excerpt: This island off the course of northwest Europe is
turning out to be an excellent viewing platform for three blockbuster shows
this summer: Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary Jubilee, the London Olympics
and the implosion of Europe . The group of
countries using the euro as a joint currency is “a burning building with no
exits,” says Britain ’s
foreign minister William Hague.
Saw a great bumper sticker
that said:
"Driver Of This Vehicle Carries No Cash - Obama Already
Took It." --Harry.
Excerpt: The Alabama Legislature scored a huge victory on
Friday, as Gov. Robert Bentley reluctantly signed immigration law H.B. 658 –
after legislators refused to “moderate” provisions Bentley (and open-borders
activists) had complained were too “harsh” against illegal aliens.
Obama’s God Complex
Changing History and Destroying a Nation
http://godfatherpolitics.com/5261/obamas-god-complex-changing-history-and-destroying-a-nation/
Excerpt: I’m sixty years old and I’ve seen my share of politicians. I’ve even had the opportunity to sit on committee with some. I’ve seen politicians that I would entrust my life to and I’ve seen others that were so arrogant and self-centered that I wouldn’t trust them with the key to the bathroom.

No wonder so many politicians support Islam. According to
this Islamic scholar in the UK ,
Islam allows a man to have as many concubines as he wants, in addition to his
four wives. I'm surprised Bill Clinton hasn't made the declaration of faith.

Dan Walters: California has reason to
worry about its business climate
Excerpt: The Los Angeles Times published
an article last week about Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad's efforts to recruit California businesses to his state, citing complaints
about California 's
business climate. Gov. Jerry Brown's spokesman, Gil Duran, told the Times in
response, "This is a Republican myth that is often repeated yet
simply not true. Reputable studies have shown that businesses are not
fleeing the state for the cold, empty and desolate hinterlands." The
response typified the Capitol's dismissive attitude toward any suggestion that
we have become economically uncompetitive.
Obama the heartless
CEO?
Excerpt: After an unscheduled detour into gay marriage, the
Obama campaign was back on its main class warfare theme this week with an ad
attacking Mitt Romney and private equity. The ad bashed Romney’s Bain Capital for taking a steel company into bankruptcy in 2001
and cutting 750 jobs (never mind that Romney had left the firm in 1999 – or
that Bain managing director Jonathan Lavine, a top Obama fundraiser was, in
fact, at the firm when GST Steel declared bankruptcy).
Obama: Stop
Condescending to Women
Excerpt: WHEN I listen to
President Obama speak to and about women, he sometimes sounds too paternalistic
for my taste. In numerous appearances over the years — most recently at
the Barnard graduation — he has made reference to how women
are smarter than men. It’s all so tired, the kind of fake praise showered upon
those one views as easy to impress.
NC Teacher Screams at
Student: It’s Criminal to Criticize Obama. By Ben Shapiro
Excerpt: A YouTube video uploaded on Monday afternoon
apparently shows a schoolteacher from the Rowan-Salisbury school
district in North Carolina informing
a student that failing to be respectful of President Obama is a criminal offense.
Breitbart News has uncovered that the student is a high school junior, and that
the teacher is apparently one Tanya Dixon-Neely… (Are we in N. Korea already?--Barb.)
New information
emerges on attack on MacDill soldier
Excerpt: New details are emerging about the beating and
robbery of a soldier as Tampa
police continue to search for two more suspects. Officers on Friday arrested
two suspects -- Robinson
High School student
Geroshe Lewis, 18; and Lerome Howard, 18 – but they're not being cooperative.
