        Of course, now that the MSM has the “Fukushima 50″ story out there, they will NEVER do a follow up to refute this scare mongering, unless some of these people do indeed die in the short term, which will then validate their narrative. I was at a neighborhood event the other night and all of the ladies were all upset about all of the Japanese people who are dying from radiation sickness from these nuclear power plants. When I questioned exactly how many they launched into stories about how THOUSANDS of people all over Japan are dying from this, blah, blah, blah. When I pointed out that not even the people WORKING in the plants are dying, they just wouldn’t listen because they “heard on TV…”

    UK article
    http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100081483/barack-obamas-libya-policy-dither-delay-distaste-and-regret/
    Be all that as it may, however, if success is achieved then this will be as much despite as because of Obama’s policies. The past few weeks have betrayed a number of startling truths about the way Obama views the world. Here are 10 of them:

    1. Obama prefers to follow Europeans rather than lead them.

    2. Obama’s failure to consult Congress further illustrates that much of his campaign rhetoric about President George W. Bush’s foreign policy was bogus (other evidence includes the increase in drone strikes and the maintenance of Guantanamo and the accompanying military tribunal structure).

    3. Obama will go to war even when there’s no vital American interest. Robert Gates, the Pentagon chief, let the cat out of the bag today.

    4. Obama accepts the notion that an American imprimatur on military action is distasteful – running the risk of fuelling anti-Americanism. He seems reluctant to try to persuade nations that America is a force for good, perhaps because he is unsure of this himself.

    5. Obama dithers and delays before making a decision and then appears to regret it and pursues the policy he has chosen with half-heartedness (this is what he has done in Afghanistan).

    6. Obama is a good speaker but a poor communicator.

    7. Obama has a tendency to take “tough” action because he’s afraid of appearing weak (he also did this when he fired General Stanley McChrystal).

    8. Obama really does believe in the “international community” and the intrinsic goodness of the UN.

    9. Obama will go to war, but would prefer not to admit it.

    10. Obama is prepared to go to war with muddled military objectives and no plan for the end game.

    Oh, look! An actual outright “birthers are all racists” column! Isn’t that quaint!

    Leonard Pitts Jr.: ‘Birther’ nonsense rooted in racism Let’s see what Lenny has to say:

    He starts out calling birthers “pinheads,” then talks about how noble he is for not usually being a name-caller, and how bad name-calling is, but in this case, it’s okay because he quotes his “mama.”

    He mentions that Whoopi chided the Donald, asking, “has any white president ever been asked to show his birth certificate?” Oh! let’s follow that logic!
    1. There was never any question of the native qualifications of any previous President but there is about this one.
    2. All previous Presidents were mostly white but the current president is not as white.
    3. Therefore, all question of this President’s origins must be raaa-cist.

    After which, Lenny says, “Let the church say amen.” Uhhhhmmmm…? Don’t you know how that reveals what you are doing isn’t thinking?

    I never took a logic course, but my brother told me he failed his offering this syllogism:
    1. Helen Keller was blind.
    2. Helen Keller was a woman.
    3. Therefore, women are blind.

    Makes as much sense as the paralogic of Whoopi’s racism remark!

    Then Lenny tries to imagine objections to calling every criticism of Obama racist, which of course is all he’s done, so haha! Irony!

    Blah blah. blah. snoozzze.. Ah, I see, it’s all code words, “euphemistic cover.” And “Obama provided his birth certificate and its authenticity has repeatedly been vouched for by Hawaiian officials….” and “if there were the slightest chance he was ineligible for the presidency, opposition researchers working for his opponents would have shredded him like an old bank statement.” Wow, where do you get that playbook these people recite?

    Annnnd… end of article where he just wishes “Trump and his fellow birthers would just go ahead and call Obama an N-word.” Nope, not a single shread of even faulty liberal attempted logic as good as Whoopi’s to show why this question is racist.

    What a pinhead.

      he does pull the race card a lot in almost every column he writes- but once in awhile he’ll write something that tells me he is capable of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel- then he shuts his eyes and blindly follows the racemongers’ voices again in his writing.

      John McCain was challenged on this same topic because he was born in Panama; Barry Goldwater was challenged because he was born in a U.S. territory; Clarence Thomas was recently questioned by a Puerto Rican on whether he could run for president and Thomas replied “We’re evading that.” There is nothing racist about askign questions and the rule of law. As far as I’m concerned, one’s attitude should always be “trust but verify.”

      Obama can put the whole thing to rest once and for all, and show those who doubt his eligibility for President to be pinheads, by… showing his real birth certificate. The fact that we keep hearing arguments attacking the messenger as racist/irrational/etc. instead of relying on facts suggests that there’s much more going on and they’re hiding something.

      I don’t doubt that he was born in Hawaii. Not sure about the technical details regarding citizenship. But the important point is that if he could make all his opponents look stupid by proving that they’re blathering about nothing – and he refuses to do it – then he must have more to lose by showing the certificate than he would gain from it. What’s on it that’s so politically embarrassing? There has to be something.

    I think we’ve all been fooled enough that we don’t have to return the favour :) .

    Headline: Libyan rebels sold Hizbullah and Hamas chemical shells.
    “Shortly after the uprising began in the third week of February, a secret Iranian delegation arrived in Benghazi. Its members met rebel chiefs, some of them deserters from the Libyan army, and clinched the deal for purchasing the entire stock of poison gas stock and the price.”

    Read the rest here:
    http://www.debka.com/article/20811/

    Is that why Obama f-ed around for 3 weeks, to give Iran yet another opportunity to stockpile weaponry to take out Israel? Is there anything he won’t do to help those cretins? Has he decided that the best way to force Israel’s hand is to help its enemy acquire mustard and nerve gas so that Israel will have no choice but to do what Obama wants?

    Hizbullah has been building up its military, in contravention of the UN resolution that brought the 2006 war (that Hizbullah started) to an end. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/143291?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook

    Hamas has been testing its missile-firing capabilities for the last month and somebody penetrated Jerusalem last week.

    You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do the math. Sooner or later, Israel is going to get it from all sides and everybody is going to sit back and watch the Jews get it. Again. Many thanks to Obama and Hillary for the boffo ending.

      Obama fails to realize one important fact. If Israel gets attacked or things go the way it USED to be before the Iraq war when Israel was constantly under attack and had bombings every day…The American people will NOT be happy about it OR Obama’s behavior. A small minority on the left hates Israel and has sympathy for the Palestinians. The majority DO NOT.

        It won’t much matter if the American people are happy or not because a) Obama doesn’t care; b) Israel/Jews have been demonized and dehumanized by intellectuals, journalists, politicians, activists, and the UN for so long that not even the slit throat of a 3-month-old baby prompted sober second thought on the current Israeli-Palestinian narrative; c) Hizbullah and Hamas are more dedicated to Israel’s annihilation than anybody else is to its protection and defense.

        I agree that the “haters” are in the minority, but again, it isn’t much going to matter once H and H get started. If anything, another war against will only be used to extort concessions from Israel. Because it’s all about the settlements.

      It also says in this article that the DA does not intend to arrest her and she’s set to appear on the charges 4/21.

      Huh???

      It should be so comforting to WI residents that their law enforcement likes to decide if someone sending death threats to others really means to carry them out.

      If it was a Tea Party member sending death threats to one of the AWOL senators I’m wondering if they would be afforded the same benefit of a doubt?

What kind of example does she set – it’s ok to react like a fool? Secondly, I would protest the local DA and say that you’re doing your job. If there are felony charges, then lets make sure she surrenders herself ASAP or else go in with several squads and arrest her. It’s either do your job or let an adult do it!

    2012 strategery….

    ” Republicans on the House Administration Committee want to shore up voter registration rules in the wake of a Colorado study that found as many as 5,000 non-citizens in the state took part in last year’s election.

    Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), the panel’s chairman, called the study “a disturbing wake-up call” that should cause every state to review its safeguards to prevent illegal voting.
    [...]
    Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, told the panel that his department’s study identified nearly 12,000 people who were not citizens but were still registered to vote in Colorado.

    Of those non-citizen registered voters, nearly 5,000 took part in the 2010 general election in which Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet narrowly defeated Republican John Buck….”

      “True the Vote” is working with regular citizens to help reduce voter fraud. This is from their website:

      “True the Vote is a initiative developed by citizens for citizens, to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process and to actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

      Our government was built upon the belief that election results represent the true will of the people; our election processes were always intended to be supported by citizen volunteers. If you are one of the millions of Americans outraged by the corruption of our government, help stop the corruption where it starts – at the polls. Sign up right here, right now. Let’s work together to true the vote in every election across our nation!

      If our elections are not truly fair…we are not truly free.”

      Undoubtedly, there will be more Obama acolytes who will work nonstop to commit voting fraud to get him a second term.
      What SHOULD happen if it works again? What SHOULD have happened in Colorado?
      Congress must pass a law which, when votes are counted which show massive fraud that would rightly give the election to someone else, would nullify the falsely elected candidate and remove him from office immediately. It should not matter if it is months after he has taken office. Fraud is fraud and it’s not something we should blink and look the other way over.
      It’s an old ploy that has worked too many times. Democrats are counting on us to say, it’s just too much trouble to remove somebody after ‘all this time’.
      No. Principle is principle To not remove that person is a compromise of our principles and it will only be easier the next time for the democrats to resort to fraud. It worked once, it worked so many times before, it will work again. It has to be stopped.

        The left has painted “birthers” as racists, nuts, and paranoids. What gets left out of the equation is: one, Obama has spent millions of dollars on attorneys protecting his birth certificate; two, Obama apparently traveled to Pakistan in 1981 when Americans were advised against* going there; and three, Obama’s social security number is purportedly from Connecticut, a state in which he never lived.=-O

        I have been thinking long and hard about this. Donald Trump is not a fool. If he is serious about making a run at the Republican nomination, he had to know he would be vilified by the lefties and their Blamestream Media sock puppets. He wouldn’t do this unless he knows something.

        Trump has a lot of money and resources. He has the capability to dig things up that most of us don’t. I think he’s playing a game with the media and simply waiting until no choice exists except to produce the vault copy birth certificate. When Florida and others enact their legislation requiring proof of citizenship, I think he’s going to laugh all they way to the convention.

    A very good question:

    Why is Andrew Breitbart being taken off HuffPo for ad hominem attacks – on another site! – on Van Jones, but Bill Maher is still there after calling Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman some, er, names that I really don’t want to repeat.

    The good news jobs numbers have about as much good news as you’d expect:

    http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/01/jobless-rate-drops-to-8-8-216k-jobs-added/

    Workforce participation is the exact same – 64.2% – but unemployment is down. That means that people who are without a job and too discouraged to look for work are not counted as unemployed.

    Also, the long term unemployed are still out of work. The people getting the jobs are the recently unemployed.

      This is frightening and clearly shows you that the powers that are there are fighting tooth and nail to stay in power. They don’t give a crap about the truth. When truth is in the way, they will kill the truth. This piece is excellent and everyone should watch it. I feel so frustrated and at times, I’d say let California rot under the weight of statism. You can see how this impacts the small business owner in this segment.

    Donna Murphy is a nominee for the federal bench. If she gets it, she’ll be the first lawyer who was sanctioned by the federal court to get onto the federal bench.

    There may be a reason people hate lawyers:

    http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/04/01/the-selective-racial-outrage-of-federal-judicial-nominee-donna-murphy/

    This little snippet made me laugh:

    “…Murphy is a die-hard liberal leftist. She worships racial preferences and agrees with the gospel of racial grievance.

    “So Tatler was stunned to learn this story from inside sources: Some years ago, Murphy (who is white) was competing for the job of Special Litigation Section Chief at DOJ with a black woman named Shanetta Cutler.

    ” Assistant Attorney General Ralph Boyd picked Cutler over Murphy. A few days later, Murphy confronted Cutler on the street.

    “The white liberal Murphy angrily tells Cutler – “Shanetta, the only reason you got picked is because you are black!” Apparently even a victimized liberal opposes affirmative action!”

    Gotta get back to work but thought readers here might want to read the Corner post:

    http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/263650/paul-rankles-reid-libya-robert-costa

    “Washington — Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), a Tea Party favorite, has boxed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) into a corner. After a quiet day of quorum calls and speeches, Reid abruptly adjourned the upper chamber Thursday and postponed votes until Monday. According to numerous Hill staffers, Paul deserves some credit for the impasse.

    Here’s the back story: On Wednesday, Paul, with little notice, attached an amendment to the small-business re-authorization bill. The amendment, which chastises President Obama for his actions in Libya, urges members to adopt the president’s own words as “the sense of the Senate.”

    I hope this link works – six members of the 101st Airborne have just been killed in Afghanistan, including a medic who was treating wounded soldiers when he was shot.

    Each of these lives matter and our MSM hasn’t reported a thing! I had my disagreements with George W Bush but he took the time to personally write to the family of every fallen servicemember. Somehow, I doubt that Bambi even knows this happened (or doesn’t care if he does know!)

    I saw President Bush and First Lady Laura on Greta last night. They were talking about the Bush Institutes conference focusing on Afghanistan women. I did not realize how active they both are in that area. Probably because the MSM doesn’t want to promote them. Why don’t some of our women’s groups like NOW,praise them?
    Once again they have prooven themselves to be a class act.Wish we could say the same for the current occupants of the White House.

      I wish someone in the LSM would start asking why the Left is so supportive of efforts to strike down, or keep from being passes, laws that prohibit Sharia law. It makes NO sense to someone who thinks logically. Sharia law totally oppresses women and homosexuals. Aren’t these 2 of the downtrodden groups that the Left is supposedly fighting for?

    For those of you who are praying people, I’m going to ask you to pray for Wisconsin tuesday. Even if you AREN’T praying people, please pray for Wisconsin. This is a state supreme court race that MIGHT very well determine what happens to our country.

    If Prosser loses, it means the entire union case just might end up losing in the courts.

    If the unions win in Wisconsin, they will be empowered through the entire nation, breathing more life and power into Obama and the rest of those who wish ill for this great country.

    Our Sarah sees it and has stepped out endorsing Prosser:
    http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/01/palin-endorses-prosser-in-wisconsin-supreme-court-race/

    So…. I’m begging each and every one of you who love America to PLEASE… pray for Wisconsin this tuesday. If you live in Wisconsin, don’t let anything stop you from getting out and voting for Prosser. America just might depend on it.

    Thank you.
