OBAMA: "GETCHA FREEBIES RIGHT HERE" ...
LESSER OF TWO EVILS - EVIL OF TWO LESSERS
Word is out that the
Department of Homeland Security is preparing for civil
disorder (read: riots) around and after the election.
Ponder this: If Romney
loses, do you think anyone expects his
supporters to riot?
The conclusion is obvious.- - - - -
How the Obama
administration takes a bad situation and makes it worse ...
You've doubtless heard that Barry's Klown Kollege has been
spending taxpayer money advertising to recruit more
freeloaders to take food stamps. Here's how bad it was even
before his latest push: As far back as 2010, in Obama's second
year as President, the General Accounting Office -- the
government's own accountants -- have found that as many as
473,000 households (not individuals) that were getting the
freebies were actually not eligible. Call it fraud, theft,
burocratic incompetence -- whatever you choose -- but be
assured it's now worse and still growingevery day.

The pretzel-like
contortions performed by Obama in his desperation are
astounding. Now, the man who only "evolved" into support of
gay marriage a couple of months ago plans to have that support as
a centerpiece of his re-election platform.

Survey says...
Count me in group two, with
this caveat: While I'm not enthusiastic about Romney (living by my
creed, "Never fall in love with a politician ... they'll break
your heart every time") in no way do I think he's evil. In my view
Barack
Obama IS, in the sense that his goals for this nation
will destroy its very foundation. I firmly believe he hates
everything America stands for.

Many politicians develop
the habit of communicating with an "insider" vocabulary that
is meaningless to most people.
The outstanding example was Senator Bob Dole, who was so
enmeshed in that lingo that ordinary people often had no idea
what he was talking about. He'd launch into a discussion of
"SB-1407" or some other political label that was understood
only by people who worked in or covered politics. A longtime
friend of mine was hired to coach him in using the media to
communicate his message. The friend, Jack Hilton, said it was
the most frustrating experience he'd ever had. Dole would
listen, agree ... and go right back to that ridiculous, "Bob
Dole thinks SB-2312 and HB-007 will be resolved in conference,
etc., etc."
The public totally tuned him out.
Yesterday I picked up an alarm from Mitt Romney indicating a
similar proclivity when the referred to "the fourth estate."
No, dammit! A few of us who've been part of it, along with
politicians, understand that reference. But if you, the
reader, care to try an experiment, do this: ask the next ten
people you meet to define the term "fourth estate.". If you
get one correct response, I'll be surprised. If you get two,
I'll be astonished.
For the record, historically
it's a reference to the press; in modern-day terms, the media.

The federal district court in Washington, D.C., has
affirmed what was already evident: the Justice Department, run
by the racist Eric Holder, did wrongly refuse to prosecute the
New Black Panther thugs who tried to keep whites from voting in
Philadelphia in the 2008 presidential election and did so on
political grounds.
The (in)Justice Department tried
to block restitution of fees incurred by Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch won. The Department of Justice was lying.
And the Justice Department
continues to be headed by Obama's thug, Eric Holder.

Obama & Romney ... Jewish voters & Israel. Wes Pruden's
perspective ...
"Mitt
Romney’s dramatic declaration in Jerusalem that
preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon is America’s
'highest national security priority' and military force should not
be excluded, and that he regards Jerusalem as the true capital of
Israel, puts in stark relief the difference between what the two
candidates think about America’s only real ally in the Middle
East.
"Mr. Romney is willing, even eager, to give heartfelt, emphatic,
unadulterated, full-throated support for the Jewish state in its
hour of greatest peril since the founding. Mr. Obama can’t do that
because he doesn’t 'feel the love.' He sprang from a culture of
radicalism where Israel was regarded as illegitimate, if not evil.
He gives the clear impression that he doesn’t like Jews very
much." -- (full article in the Washington Times)

Here's one quantifiable
fact about Barack
Obama's "Be Kind to Illegal Aliens" policy. It's
responsible for many rapes and murders, confirmed as follows:
Illegals released under Obama administration orders between
2008 and 2011 committed 142 sex crimes, 19 murders and 3 attempted murders.

Janet Napolitano, the dunce in charge of Homeland Security, casually admits that "terrorists cross the border (from Mexico) from time to time." She couldn't have been more dismissive if she'd added, "BFD."

The erudite Victor Davis
Hanson owns a farm in California's central valley ... and takes
a dim view of the state-of-the-state ...
" The state deficit is at
$16 billion. Stockton went bankrupt; Fresno is rumored to be next.
Unemployment stays over 10% and in the Central Valley is more like
15%. Seven out of the last eleven new Californians went on
Medicaid, which is about broke. A third of the nation’s welfare
recipients are in California. In many areas, 40% of Central Valley
high school students do not graduate — and do not work, if the
latest crisis in finding $10 an hour agricultural workers is any
indication. And so on." -- (Full article at PJ Media)

Media news: CNN ratings down again -- drastically.
John Hinderaker at Powerline focuses on the "why" of the fall of CNN ...
"CNN represents the passive-aggressive Left. MSNBC is
unrestrained id, but CNN can never fully surrender to its liberal
impulses. It tries to maintain a fig leaf of neutrality. But CNN
can’t get through the day without betraying what it really thinks,
often in underhanded ways. Thus, when CNN did a story on
Chick-fil-A today, what did it focus on? The merits of the
controversy? The fact that more than one Democratic government
official has threatened to violate the company’s constitutional
rights, because its CEO is opposed to gay marriage? No. In a dog
whistle to its liberal audience, CNN focused on the fact that Todd
and Sarah Palin, along with thousands of other Americans, tweeted
photos of themselves eating at Chick-fil-A:
"CNN introduced its segment with Pink’s “Stupid Girls,' a song
which is obviously inappropriate for a cable news bumper, and
evidently was intended as a comment on Palin’s support for
Chick-fil-A."

Writer Gore Vidal has died.
I once did an hour-long
interview with Mr. Vidal.
The
end. (My mother always told me, "If you can't say something nice
...")
