2013 is a good year for you, and a better year for our country than I fear it
will be. ~Bob.
The Old Jarhead...
Thank you for a wonderful year
Hey, Bob, Just wanted to note that I loved how you snuck in
the Gandhi quote. Amazing how liberals have no problem with their
propaganda machine (Facebook) taking away their freedom of speech, privacy,
rights or skewing election outcomes... I guess that makes it easier for them to
embrace when their nation does it. Thank you for keeping up the posts during
hard times. It is appreciated. You are appreciated. Take care. –Chris
Excerpt: The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended
the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from
Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads: "Among the many misdeeds of British rule

Worth Reading
Excerpt: If you are one of the folks who voted for Barack
Obama in the last election, what did you vote for? More generally, if you voted
for any liberal politician, what did you vote for? Here are three
things for starters: (1) no reform of the public schools, (2) no reform of the
welfare system, and (3) no reform of labor market institutions that erect
barriers between new entrants and good jobs. (Dr. Goodman is president of the National Center

The Continuing Exodus of Jobs – and Taxable Income – from California
Excerpt: But since I’m a bit of a curmudgeon, I also feel
all warm and fuzzy when bad things happen to bad
people. That’s why I always smile when I read stories about taxpayers moving
across borders, thus preventing greedy tax-hiking politicians from
collecting more revenue.
Bush Tax Rates: Democrats were against it before they were
for it. By Bob Beauprez
Excerpt: One of the more hysterical components of the fiscal
cliff saga is watching the Democrats falling all over themselves to champion
the importance of preserving the existing tax rates – the George W. Bush Tax
Rates – for nearly every American taxpayer. … But, it is impossible not see the
humor in watching Barack Obama and the Democrats now embracing the very
policies they spent the last decade demonizing as the reason for deficits,
unemployment, the downturn of the economy, male-pattern baldness, PMS, and the
Cubs not winning the World Series. Regardless of the problem, it was always
George Bush's fault.
Indian Muslim leader
says, "Remove police for 15 minutes, we will finish off one billion
Hindus"
Didn’t get the “Islam is a religion of peace” memo. ~Bob.
Excerpt: He is boasting that the Muslims could essentially wipe the Hindus from
the face of the earth in fifteen minutes, if the police look the other way. This
joins the Iranian leadership's many genocidal statements against Israel
Jihad-Free Holiday Gifts: Check That List Twice! By David Yeagley

Bank).
Pakistan: Islamic
supremacists, outraged by paintings, threaten violence
Excerpt: If these paintings depicted Catholic priests, the
artists would be getting grants and articles praising them in the New York
Times, which would suddenly remember that it's against censorship. No Catholics
would be threatening any violence. But this story is just more of the same:
Muslims outraged by perceived "insults to Islam" reacting with violent
threats, and the objects of those threats caving in.

Kathleen the Terrible: Kathleen Sebelius is the most corrupt
and arrogant HHS secretary in history. By David Catron
Excerpt: Among the gifts Nancy Pelosi brings to the House of
Representatives is her ability to draw a hearty guffaw from the most jaded
observer of American politics. This talent for comedy was on display last
Wednesday when she told a group of toadeaters disguised as journalists that
she belongs to the anti-corruption party. (What is really tragic
and extremely worrisome to any remotely aware citizen is the rampant corruption
we have been witnessing in our government for the last four years. Certainly
there was corruption before then, but things have ramped up to new heights (or
depths, perhaps) right before our eyes. Here is an article that will take the
sunshine out of your day, but it's worthwhile to at least stay informed of what
goes on. –Del. Corruption is a part of the human condition, and is found in
every party and every political system. No party says they are in favor of
corruption, but many individuals, of all political stripes, indulge in it.

The Zimmerman case disintegrates. By John Hayward
http://www.humanevents.com/2012/05/21/the-zimmerman-case-disintegrates/
http://www.humanevents.com/2012/05/21/the-zimmerman-case-disintegrates/
Excerpt: The release of evidence in George Zimmerman’s
murder trial quickly made a mockery of his second-degree murder charges, and
threw a further layer of shame upon media and political opportunists who
misrepresented a tragic, but fairly straightforward, case of lethal force
employed in self-defense. It is remarkable to take stock of this evidence and
realize that it supports every single aspect of Zimmerman’s statement
to the police. (Well, it's perking along slowly in the system, but increasing
flow of information about the events of that fateful evening is occurring. And
the more factual information that we can examine, the more it looks like a sad
but simple case of self-defense. It doesn't matter if Zimmerman might have
stayed in his car, turned a blind eye, and driven home to dinner. It doesn't
matter if Martin found it irritating that someone was watching him. Attacking
someone with force and fisticuffs is not permissible, and what the victim does
to defend himself is permissible, especially when the attacker is younger,
likely stronger, and not holding back in his attack mode. Maybe Zimmerman could
have shot to disable, but how much control he had of the gun while being
pounded on is an open question. The bottom line is that while the death of the
young man is tragic, his aggressiveness is the real root cause of the whole sad
mess. And there's no way Zimmerman is guilty of any level of murder. –Del.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100195679/one-in-ten-children-asked-for-a-daddy-for-christmas-this-is-the-real-culture-war/
Excerpt: A truly heartbreaking story broke over Christmas. A British consumer agency released a survey that showed that the tenth most requested gift from Father Christmas was “a dad” (coming in just behind “snow”). The first choice was a baby brother or sister, which is a heartening sign that materialism hasn’t quite claimed our souls yet.
Do Gun Buybacks
Really Work?
Excerpt: He raised an issue that just prior to the one gun
buyback, there was an increase in home break-ins and gun thefts and that many
of those guns were recovered in the buyback program. (But they make liberals
feel good, which is the point of all liberal policies. ~Bob.)
Memo to GOP: Make Obama Own the Mess He’s Created. By Bernard
Goldberg
Excerpt: Anybody who’s thought about it for two seconds
knows we don’t have a taxing problem – we have a spending problem. We borrow
about 42 cents on every dollar we spend, and under President Obama we’ve been
spending more than $1 trillion dollars a year we don’t have.

Daily Times op-ed
hits the mark on Pakistani Taliban. By Bill Roggio
Excerpt: However, closer examination of the conditionalities
attached by the TTP to any proposed talks indicate that the whole exercise is a

Sunday, challenging assertions that military offensives have broken the back of
hardline Islamist groups. … In the attack in the northwest, officials said they

Worth Reading Lawrence
Excerpt: A people cannot simultaneously live free and be
bound to any human master or man-made institution, especially to politicians,
judges, bureaucrats and faceless government agencies. The Second Amendment
along with the other nine amendments of the Bill of Rights was designed to
prevent individuals’ enslavement to government, not just to guarantee people
the right to hunt squirrels or sport shoot at targets, nor was it included in
the Bill of Rights just to guarantee individuals the right to defend themselves
against robbers, rapers and lunatics, or to make sure the states could raise a
militia quick, on the cheap to defend against a foreign invader or domestic
unrest.
Exclusive: How Israel
Excerpt: The numbers speak for themselves, but very little
credit has so far been given by foreign governments, NGOs, and the
international media for the care taken by the Israeli military to avoid
collateral damage during its recent vicious engagement with Hamas and Islamic
Jihad fighters. "In cases where there are people inside a house or
building we never strike the target without prior warning."

Excerpt: Throughout the presidential campaign, conservatives
regularly chided President Obama for ducking media venues where he would likely

Insider”
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/52005
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/52005
Hard to say how much of this is BS, satire or true. We know
DHS and social security has bought thousands of rounds of ammo and mostly soft
point not full metal jacket like the military uses. Some of it may be true. The
fiscal cliff discussion is all about taxes and not about reducing spending.
Just kicking that can down the road. Such articles as this one is another
reason to plan for the worse case scenario...nothing like this may ever happen.
Even so, better be prepared for what could happen. –GBH. I get a lot of these
“anonymous insider” pieces, most of which get disproved or come to nothing. I
tend not to credit people who won’t put their name behind their statements,
though I understand the fear of retaliation. ~Bob.

Mega-Mosque on Norwalk, CT Community. By Ryan Mauro
Excerpt: The Al-Madany Islamic Center of Norwalk in
Connecticut wasn’t ready to give up when its proposal for a 27,000 square foot
facility was turned down by the zoning commission over matters completely unrelated
to religion. The Islamic Center sued, asserting—as you might have guessed—it
was religious discrimination. The cry of “Islamophobia” got the Justice
Department on its side, and the zoning commission suddenly changed its mind
after a closed session. (Ah yes, our totally objective Department of
Justice.... well, more like the Dept of Social Justice, and the definition of
social justice is entirely the purview of the people at the top. Our tax money
at work... isn't that great? –Del)
Discovered papers: Hanoi directed Kerry: Recovered Vietnam
documents 'smoking gun' researchers claim. By Art Moore
Excerpt: The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese
communists were directly steering John Kerry’s group Vietnam Veterans Against
the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive, according to a researcher who
spoke with WorldNetDaily. (Isn't this interesting? No, we don't have a video of
Madame Nguyen Thi Binh giving specific directions to Kerry about how the
antiwar groups should do their attacks against the war effort, but we have a
bunch of dots that connect fairly well to indicate that Kerry and others were
communicating with the communists and then what the communists wanted to
happen, happened. If you want to believe in a series of happenstance
coincidences, OK, but for my money Kerry and his pals were acting as conduits
from Hanoi to the "useful idiots" in the US, and we know the
Communist Party USA was paying for travel, etc. And Obama wants this clown to
be the next Secy of State? Heaven help us. --Del)
