First Lady Of Gaffes

Election '08: After revealing she had never been "really proud of my country," Michelle Obama damns business as "the money-making industry." By contrast, she says, the Obamas are in "the helping industry." Bad omen. Visiting a day-care center in Zanesville, Ohio, America's would-be first lady advised the assembled women not to "go into corporate America." "Become teachers," she counseled. "Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the moneymaking industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond." No disrespect to teachers and nurses, but there are problems with those remarks. First, when she says "move out of the moneymaking industry into the helping industry," she speaks volumes. Apparently, well-paid people in all kinds of profitable fie

Barack, Hussein And Al-Qaida

Campaign '08: In blaming America first for al-Qaida in Iraq's presence, Barack Obama shows the difference between being glib and being articulate and just why John McCain should be president of the United States. It was as if Neville Chamberlain was blaming World War II on Winston Churchill, or if someone had claimed Hitler wouldn't have invaded France if the British hadn't put their expeditionary force there first. In an incredible long-distance exchange with McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee for president, Sen. Obama first states that he would send soldiers back to Iraq "if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq." When McCain responded that "al-Qaida in Iraq" has that name because it is already there, Obama replied that there was "no such thing as al-Qaida in Iraq until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq." Slick Willie, meet slicker Barack, who is blissfully unaware that terrorists hate us for what we are,

Very Interesting Coincidences

Very Interesting Coincidences I recently came across some information regarding American-Israeli relations that I thought was worth sharing. I am not exactly sure what it all means, but I have learned enough in my life to know that there is no such thing as coincidences. For those of you who know me, I am just trying to keep it "Is-Rael" The following is just a sampling with the real kicker at the end. October 30, 1991: President Bush (1st one) opened the Madrid Conference, the intended purpose of which was to strip Israel of its land in exchange for peace with the Palestinian Arabs. ON THAT VERY DAY, an extremely rare storm formed on the coast of Nova Scotia , a storm later named 'The Perfect Storm' (which the book and movie were about), and record-setting waves pounded the New England coast causing heavy damage to the President's home in Kennebunkport, Maine . August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moved to Washington, D.C. With the same agenda of attempting t

Proud Yet, Michelle?

Election 2008: Michelle Obama didn't seem to think there was anything in her country to be proud of until her husband's presidential campaign took off. Maybe she should drop the politics and open a newspaper or read a blog. Barack Obama tried to play down his wife's statement, but it's not the sort of remark that can be spun away. To say that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country," and trying to justify it as pride in a political campaign, carries a casually stark assumption that there's nothing within this country that's really worth praising. What do you think?

Obama?

It's eight months from March to November, which is plenty of time for Obama to acquire some ballast in addition to his lofty but gaseous rhetoric. But it is also plenty of time for Democrats to develop buyer's remorse. On MSNBC last night, host Chris Matthews had a telling interview with Kirk Watson, a state senator from Texas who is a strong Obama supporter. It's worth actually watching the video, which is here , but here's a partial transcript, provided by National Review's Kathryn Lopez : Matthews: "You are a big Barack supporter, right, Senator?" Watson: "I am. Yes, I am." Matthews: "Well, name some of his legislative accomplishments. No, Senator, I want you to name some of Barack Obama's legislative accomplishments tonight if you can." Watson: "Well, you know, what I will talk about is more about what he is offering the American people right now." Matthews: "No. No. What has he accomplished, sir? Y

Immmmmmigration

Arizona is seeing signs of a flight by Mexican immigrants out of the state and back across the border. Local reformers credit the state's recent crackdown on illegal immigration. Indeed, sanctions against employers are playing a key role. The new state law — which goes into effect March 1 — punishes employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants by suspending their business license for 10 days on the first violation and revoking it for a second offense. At the same time, the county sheriff in Phoenix has been helping enforce federal immigration laws by rounding up people living there illegally. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has given arrest authority to many deputies. So in the course of a traffic stop, illegal aliens without driver's licenses for the first time now stand a real chance of being deported. In response to the crackdown, illegals are flooding the Mexican consulate in Phoenix to obtain papers to move back across the border and enroll their ch

Facebook

Terrorists recruiting on net via Facebook « Previous « PreviousNext » Next » View GalleryBy Miles Johnson RADICAL British Jihadist groups are using Facebook and other social networking sites to recruit members and distribute extremist literature. A private Facebook group called Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah, the name of a successor organisation to the banned extremist group Al Muhajiroun, has been operating since early 2007. The Facebook group has links posted to extremist literature by the jailed radical preachers Abu Hamza al-Misri and Abu Qutada calling for the waging of armed jihad against the British and American governments. There is also literature demanding the expulsion of any Muslim who votes in elections or "provides assistance" to the 'kuffar', or non-believer. Five young British Muslims were freed last week after their conviction for downloading and sharing literature from extremist websites was quashed by the Appeal Court. The Lord Chief Justice said ther

Whites to be minority

Back to Story - Help Whites to be minority in US by 2050: study Mon Feb 11, 11:50 AM ET Immigration will drive the population of the United States sharply upward between now and 2050, and will push whites into a minority, projections by the Pew Research Center showed Monday. "If current trends continue, the population of the United States will rise to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005," an increase of nearly 50 percent, the study by the Washington-based think-tank said. More than 80 percent of the increase will be due to immigrants arriving in the country and their US-born children, who will make up nearly one in five Americans by 2050 compared with one in eight in 2005, it said. Whites, who currently make up around two-thirds of the US population, will become a minority (47 percent) by 2050, the report said. The Hispanic population, currently the largest minority group, will triple in size and double in percentage terms from 14 percent in 2005 to 29 percent in 2

Patti Solis Doyle

Some members, like Hillary’s Senate chief of staff, Tamera Luzzatto, deal with legislative duties; others, like senior campaign advisers Ann Lewis and Minyon Moore, are focused squarely on ’08. “It’s concentric circles,” offers Melanne Verveer, Hillary’s chief of staff during Bill’s second term. At the center of all these circles stands Patti Solis Doyle. The first person Hillary hired during the ’92 race, Patti, as she is universally known, worked as her scheduler for eight years, steadily amassing duties and influence. At this point, no one embodies the culture of Hillaryland more than Patti, now the campaign manager of Team Hillary. The 42-year-old Chicago native is direct, focused, and disciplined. She has a quick laugh, a sharp, teasing wit, and little patience for any sort of media attention. (“I’m Mexican, for crying out loud,” quips the first-generation American. “I just want to do my job.”) Officially, Patti is charged with overseeing every aspect of Hillary Inc., from hiring

Obama

Sen. Barack Obama swept the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska and Washington state Saturday night, slicing into Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's slender delegate lead in their historic race for the Democratic presidential nomination. It is a great time to elect a socialist with a Islamic name. It proves the old saying true: If you can't beat them---join them.
