August 8 --

Romney confused SIKHS, the victims of the Wisconsin massacre, with SHEIKS, a title from the Arab/Muslim world. Sikhs are neither.
     Dumb, but not as dumb as many Obama flubs, such as referring to the U.S. Marine CORPSE. While campaigning in 57 states.


Chris Christie for VP? No.

Cong. Paul Ryan's prospects improved because (A) he's popular in his home state of Wisconsin, which (B) became a more likely swing-state when the Republican governor beat back the Democrat/union thugs attempt to remove him from office.
     Ryan's also one smart dude who actually understands the budget minutiae that most of the stupid cattle on the Hill pass uncomprehendingly.


One reason why Obama wants everyone to go to college: Four more years in school is four more years when they won't show up in the unemployment numbers.

Democrats -- friends to women? Chew on this stat uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon ...
     The Democratic National Committee, the guiding body of the party, paid their 119 female employees $3,342 on average in the month of July, compared to $3,843 for its 113 male employees. Got that, ladies?


Huma Abedin is a key aide to Hillary Clinton, our (purported) Secretary of State. She is also the wife of disgraced former Congressman Anthony ("See my") Weiner. It is a fact that her family has long-time and deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, whose open vow is to destroy the United States.
     So why is it unreasonable to ask for a serious examination of her loyalties? That isn't "McCarthyism"; it's common sense.
     One good reason to do it: The idea is opposed by one of the biggest dupes/dopes in the Senate, RINO John McCain.

By the way, Senator Joe McCarthy, good friend of the Kennedys, was dead right about Alger Hiss, a founder of the UN, being a communist spy. Old liberals have never forgiven ol' Joe for that revelation about one of their idols.


Speaking of Hillary, for whom some Democrats still pine as a presidential candidate ...
     What did this woman ever actually DO? She was a partner in a shady Arkansas law firm when Bill was governor ... made a lot of money in a scam cattle-futures deal ... and rode her husband's coattails into the White House even as he repeatedly embarrassed her by playing bouncy-bounce with a parade of bimbos.
     As Secretary of State, her defining moments include that silly "re-set" moment with Russia and calling Syria's dictator Assad a "reformer" -- just last year.
     The woman is a bad joke. And as recent TV coverage of her trip to Africa has shown, a bad dancer.



Commentator Ron Hart (Jewish World Review) gets to the hidden bottom-line of Obama's "you didn't build that" remark ...
     "The implication is that anyone with money, except the government, does not deserve it. This rare glimpse into the real Obama should unnerve everyone, whether you pay taxes or not. He is saying that government can confiscate what you have, because you did not earn it anyway."


A study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants. -- Washington Times

Further ... the Marxist in the White House has been advertising in Mexico, inviting more freeloaders to come (illegally) into the United States and get free food-stamps!

Now: tell us again about the unalloyed blessings of immigration.


Even the New York Times admits it: Raise taxes on the successful ... they simply leave the country ... and actual revenue to the government declines. That process is well underway in France, which stupidly elected a socialist president. People with money are either getting out, or planning to do so.

Leftist nuts in the Congressional Black Caucus are complaining that Congressman Allen West, the only Republican in the group, "insulted" them by bringing them sandwiches from Chick-fil-A. They convey the impression that this had something to do with the gay marriage flap of last week -- as if all blacks support gay marriage.
     In fact, the nice gesture by West took place six months ago, long before the controversy.
     The chief complainer: Cong. Alcee Hastings of Florida, who has the distinction of being the only crooked judge impeached for taking bribes and removed from the federal bench -- and still got elected to Congress. Says a lot about the voters in his district: "He's a crook? Took bribes? Our kinda guy!"
     That's democracy in action, folks!
    

     I've been in Moscow at the height of the Cold War and a number of other spooky places, but Buenos Aires is the most sinister city I've ever entered. I'd never set foot there again. Robbery, muggings, beatings and even killings of visitors are common. It is a very, very sick society.


Can it be divine intervention? When Bill Clinton speaks to the Democratic National Convention next month, he'll be on TV opposite the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants season opener.
     Or maybe Obama wanted it that way. He hates the Clintons, but has to cuddle-up for his own political survival.

Katherine forwards a sign that should be posted in many, many places...
