Ann Coulter: Romney wasn’t the problem

Posted on November 29, 2012 | Comments Off on Ann Coulter: Romney wasn’t the problem

The Queen of Leftist Mockery also produces thoughtful stuff. Hence this comparison of Romney Vs Reagan and their relative conservatism:

“Some conservatives didn’t trust Romney because, as governor of a state between blue and North Korea, he had instituted a health insurance mandate, one feature of the hated Obamacare.

“As governor of a purple state, Reagan had signed the most liberal abortion law in the country and imposed the three largest state tax hikes in the nation’s history. Nevada Sen. Paul Laxalt’s nominating speech hailed Reagan’s governorship of California for producing ‘a veritable Great Society of aid for schools, minorities and the handicapped,’ as the Times put it. Reagan had also been an actual member of the godless, treason party.”

Romney, she concludes, lost for other reasons, including that he was running against an incumbent who could, therefore, afford to be seen for what he is: a rude, condescending, and perpetually-lying jerk.

Why most Americans back Israel

Posted on November 28, 2012 | Comments Off on Why most Americans back Israel

I’ve tried to explain to Israeli friends why it’s not just some American Jews and most fundamentalist American Christians, but a whopping majority of Americans whose religion is far less formal (or even nonexistent) who back Israel unequivocally.

Walter Russell Mead does a much better job of it.

“….when Israel brings the big guns and fast planes against Gaza’s popguns and low tech missiles, a great many Americans see nothing but common sense at work. These Americans aren’t mad about ‘disproportionate’ Israeli violence in Gaza because they don’t really accept the concept of proportionality in war. They think that if you have jus ad bellum [right to fight], and rocket strikes from Gaza are definitely that, you get something close to a blank check when it comes to jus in bello [justice in war].

“If anything, rather than weakening American sympathy for Israel, Israel’s response in Gaza (and the global criticism that surrounds it) is likely to strengthen the bonds of respect and esteem that many Americans feel for Israelis. Far from seeing Israel’s use of overwhelming force against limited provocation as harsh or immoral, many Americans see it as courageous and wise. It strengthens the sense that in a wacky world where a lot of foreigners are hard to understand, the Israelis are honest, competent and reliable friends — good people to have on your side in a tight spot.”

Which is why I believe that when Americans learn that Barry is threatening to withdrawn military support from Israel unless Israel does what he says, Democrat politicians who don’t immediately turn on him will have a very hard time getting re-elected.

Barry is a creature of the CIA

Posted on November 27, 2012 | Comments Off on Barry is a creature of the CIA

He’s a leftist, a Socialist with a capital S, a redistributionist, and something of an Islamist. But more than any of those, he’s a creation of the Company.

“His mother’s parents, who raised him, seem to have been cogs in the U.S. government’s well-heeled, well-connected machine for influencing the world, whether openly (“gray influence”) or covertly (“black operations”).

“His mother spent her life and marriages, and birthed her children, working in that machine. For paradigms of young Barack’s demeanor, proclivities, opinions, language, and attitudes one need look no further than the persons who ran the institutions that his mother and grandparents served—e.g., the Ford Foundation, the United States Information Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency—-as well as his chosen mentors and colleagues.”

Excerpt from “The Chosen One,” a lengthy analysis by historian Angelo M. Codevilla, but well worth the time to read it.

The feds can shut you down without a trial

Posted on November 26, 2012 | Comments Off on The feds can shut you down without a trial

This federal law enforcement action against 132 web sites sounds really worthwhile:

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and European officials seized 132 websites on Monday for allegedly selling counterfeit merchandise in a coordinated crackdown timed to coincide with the holiday shopping season.”

Until you get to the last sentence:

“But some advocates argue the website owners should have a chance to defend themselves before the site is shut down.”

Naw, that would be too much like the Land of The Free. Can’t have that.

Our double-talkin’, Muslim-lovin’ prez

Posted on November 25, 2012 | Comments Off on Our double-talkin’, Muslim-lovin’ prez

JoshuaPundit claims inside information (probably Israeli politico sources) on what Barry was saying out the other side of his mouth while the one side was publically supporting Israel’s defensive operations against Hamas:

“According to a couple of my notorious lil’ birdies who are very much in a position to know, the Israelis fully intended to go into Gaza and eradicate Hamas. A country like Israel doesn’t call up that many reserves and affect its economy unless they were serious about the matter.

“But then the Obama Administration intervened.

“They were perfectly happy for Israel to go in to Gaza and take out Hamas, but insisted that they then turn Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority. This was supposed to strengthen PA President Mahmoud Abbas as ‘Palestine’s savior’ . As as a kicker, President Obama insisted that Israel immediately declare a Palestinian State in Gaza and most of Judea and Samaria, including areas currently under Israeli sovereignty from which the Jewish residents would then be removed. These were also to be turned over to Abbas.

“If the Israelis were unwilling to have the IDF do Mahmoud Abbas’ dirty work for him and then give up large areas populated by Jews, then the Obama Administration told the Israelis the U.S. would not back an IDF ground assault in Gaza.”

I doubt we can expect our pathetic Democrat news media to follow this up, or present any equally-believable scenario. So far they haven’t bothered to note that Barry is now negotiating with terrorists, if only as a silent partner. Despite laws to the contrary he has also (since July) allowed Hamas and other Jihadi backers to raise money for weapons in the U.S.

So we’ll take JP’s angle  for now. It makes as much sense as anything else we could expect our Muslim-lovin’ prez to do. Some have suggested he’s probably embarrassed that his Egyptian interlocutor Morsi has now revealed himself as a dictator. But I doubt it. Barry himself hasn’t been at all  scrupulous in following the U.S. Constitution.

Via Simply Jews, where Mr. Goon has his own good, if unhappy, analysis.

Barry rewrites policy on terrorists

Posted on November 23, 2012 | Comments Off on Barry rewrites policy on terrorists

“In one stroke, the Obama administration has overturned thirty years of American policy, which rejected negotiations with Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

“Secretary of State Clinton, to be sure, did not negotiate directly with Hamas, but rather with Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi, who supported Hamas unequivocally and encouraged its attacks on Israel…he first sicced his dog on his neighbor, and then called the dog off.”

Not to mention the pressure Barry applied to Bibi, whatever it was, to go along. With the LSM deep in its usual slumber whenever a Democrat is president, we may never know.
