Negotiating with terrorists

Obamalot chose this July 4 weekend (of all times) to announce that it is (yet again) breaking with foreign policy tradition and negotiating with the Muslim Brotherhood, founders of Hamas.

Barry Rubin has repeatedly assured us (with evidence) that the Brotherhood is not a “moderate” organization as some would have it. Obamalot’s new move is not so unusual, you may say, since the White House already was negotiating with the terrorist Taliban on our exit from Afghanistan, and you would be right.

But we can also hope that they also are trying to finally bring home (recently promoted) Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (above), of Hailey, Utah, who has been a prisoner of the Taliban for three years now.

Capt. Israel

A (comic book) super hero for our time, brandishing his Shield of David and his seven-branched Temple menorah. Certainly about time, too, for some pro-Israel propaganda that only a super hero can bring. Read a copy of the first issue here.

Fox News haters prefer herd journalism

O’Reilly asks: “Why does Media Matters, which admits it’s in business to hurt [Fox News], receive tax-exempt status?”

Gosh, Bill, with a Democrat Senate and White House, do you really wonder why? Isn’t working, anyhow, as Fox continues to beat the competition like the dusty rugs they are.

Silly as Media Matters is (I mean, really, how dare the right-wing dissent from the dominant left-wing media view?), even more amusing was Little Green Footballs recent pointer to a preference for herd journalism, so long as it suits their politics, of course.

They branded Fox News a (gasp) outlier for finding a new headline buried in the Left’s latest consensus reporting. Yep. Obviously, initiative is bad when it departs from the official line. Mustn’t confuse the weak minds who need confirmation of their political opinions in order to feel secure.

Bar Refaeli: Rule 5

The president who doesn’t care

“Most golfers, according to Western Pennsylvania Golf Association spokesman Jeff Rivard, play 20 or so rounds a year. The president has played more than 70 rounds in two years — amid a recession, three wars, a Mideast meltdown, and an economy not flourishing under his stimulus and bailout programs. . . . Simple things, such as Obama not receiving economic briefings for more than a month….”

All Obamalot wants to do is boogie—travel, play and par-tay on our dime.
