Who are the Real Bigots?

"This is not about bigotry. This is about the media's moral and physical cowardice in refusing to stand up to actual bigotry around the world. And the victims of their silence include both non-Muslims and Muslims. Meanwhile the media can continue shrieking about bigotry. It will not win them the argument, all it will do is further devalue the accusation. Because you can only cry wolf for so long, until people stop paying attention. And when you refuse to cry wolf at an actual predator, while crying it at everyone you dislike, then no one will end up listening to you at all."

Does Religion Harm Homosexuals?

The Democrat Race Lie | Bob Parks: Black & Right 2010

"So the next time any Democrat claims they've been supportive of civil rights in America (and been so all along), ask them to explain their past. 'We've grown' is not gonna cut it, considering they continue to lie about their past to this day."

SEIU invested tens of millions on Obama and DemCare in order to replenish its woefully underfunded pensions -- on your dime

"DemCare was designed, first and foremost, to reward the SEIU. It's not about health care. It's about the redistribution of tax dollars from your wallet into the unions' coffers. And, no matter how these central
planners, these masterminds, swirl the money around, their unfunded pension liabilities will crush taxpayers as certainly as night follows day."

USA Today's Biskupic Sees SCOTUS of 'Ideological...Conservatives' and 'Pragmatic Liberals' | NewsBusters.org

It'd be more accurate to call them idealistic conservatives rather than ideological conservatives. And what's so great about being pragmatic anyway? (See my other blog for a post on this term.)

The Party of No

" 'Democrats say no to balanced budgets. They say no to lower taxes. They say no to smaller government. They say no to states' rights. They say no to gun rights. They say no to the rights of the unborn. They say no to sensible immigration laws. They say no to policies that would encourage private-sector job growth. They say no to tort reform. They say no to sensible, targeted health care reform. They say no to pro-growth environmental regulations. They say no to education reform that rewards results instead of teachers' unions. They say no to bipartisanship. They say no to moderate nominees for federal courts. They say no to ending affirmative-action handouts, preferences and quotas. They say no to welfare reform. They say no to tough laws for criminals. They say no to a strong national defense. They say no to families. They say no to faith.' "

Letter to Steve Jobs

" 'Your company is an American one, built on the greatness that is America, though like so many others you choose to manufacture your products in Asia. You want Americans to buy your products, ogle over their cool factor and regard them as hip and desirable, yet you run down and fail to support the only American news outlet that actually offers something other than sycophantic tripe while simultaneously extolling non-existent virtues of a murderous communist like Guevara.'

New Live Action video uncovers more manipulative counseling at Planned Parenthood

"Like I said, Planned Parenthood doesn’t have counselors. They have salespeople. Notice how this woman uses a technique you might recognize if you’ve ever bought a vehicle from a dealership, ever. It’s the 'buy it now, because this offer won’t be available tomorrow!' technique. The salesperson tries to rush you into doing it right away, because they know you’re less likely to make the deal if you wait until later."

The Karzai Fiasco - WSJ.com

Is Obama trying to turn Afghanistan into another Vietnam?
"This treatment of an ally eerily echoes the way the Kennedy Administration treated Ngo Dinh Diem, the President of South Vietnam in the early 1960s. On JFK's orders, U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge refused to meet with Diem, and when U.S. officials got word of a coup against Diem they let it be known they would not interfere. Diem was executed, and South Vietnam never again had a stable government."

Moonbattery: Obama's Nuclear Deterrence Strategy: Non-Deterrence

"Since World War II, smaller countries have forgone the acquisition of deterrent forces -- nuclear, biological and chemical -- precisely because they placed their trust in the firmness, power and reliability of the American deterrent. Seeing America retreat, they will rethink. And some will arm. There is no greater spur to hyper-proliferation than the furling of the American nuclear umbrella."

No Nukes Is Good Nukes

Nothing good can come from this. No state that was contemplating developing nuclear weapons is going to stop based on the current administration's assurance that we won't respond with nukes to a non-nuke attack since, surely, the next president will reverse this policy change. President Obama is a naive fool.
