The Left Reaches for a New Low

This is almost a year old, but I just came across it. Members of the left wing moonbat group "Code Pink" targeted the children of US soldiers going to a White House Halloween event. On their website they bragged, "We protested wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran. We gave the kids a dramatic show of ghouls and vampires sucking Americans blood to feed their wars".

They dressed as 'zombie soldiers killed in combat', and 'ghosts of war victims' while parading in along the kids waiting in line. A report by Reuters stated "One protester dresses as a Wicked Witch was saying things like, "More pretties to die in my war!"

Dressed as dead soldiers. Staging a protest in front of kids. Whose parents are serving in the military. On Halloween.

Code Pink, founded by top Obama campaign fundraiser Jodie Evans, was a major supporter of the Obama campaign and was a founding member of the Obama campaign finance team. Her name appeared on the White House visitors log twice in June 2009 just days after visiting Gaza, where she hand delivered a letter to President Obama from HAMAS. Code Pink was of the many "grassroots" organizations that supported Hope and Change. In 2004 Code Pink was also one of the groups that donated $600,000 to the families of those Iraqis killed fighting against US Marines in the bloody battle for Fallujah. She has also met with the Taliban, who she praised as bringing peace and justice to Afghanistan while the US had failed.

Shortly after Halloween protest, Jodie Evans was leading protests in Egypt and Gaza with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn, where they contributed "tens of thousands of dollars" to a HAMAS "relief organization". She also traveled to Iran as a personal guest of Iranian President Ahmadinejad.

The Obama campaign had received $33,000 in illegal donations from Gaza. The campaign had originally reported to the FEC that those donation came from Georgia, and returned the funds after the truth became public.

CNN Correspondent Now Communist Presidential Candidate in El Salvador

The most trusted name in news? Published on the News Busters web site. Best line is that he "considers himself to be El Salvador's Barack Obama..."

Of course he does. He is even using images of Barack Obama in campaign ads.

Once Again, Obama Administration Finds Islam Not Violent

Jihad? What Jihad???

After what was no doubt a through and detailed investigation, the Defense Department final review of the Fort Hood shooting was simply a case of "workplace violence". The reports states that Army Major Nidal Hasan "allegedly opened fire at a Fort Hood facility where soldiers were processing for overseas deployments". Allegedly?

The Pentagon press release may be found here.

Maybe NASA assisted in the investigation.

The Left Start to Eat Their Own

I'm not surprised by the recent poll numbers that 1/3 of Americans believe that President Obama is Muslim, however I am surprised that 1/3 of Americans still believe that he is competent.

From the L.A. Times:

"Just a few minor things to catch up on for the weekend now that the Fundraiser-in-Chief has gone on another vacation (Don't worry though. White House chef Sam Kass went along, so the first family need not eat ordinary human food.)

-- The Congressional Budget Office says the 2010 federal deficit will be in excess of $1.3 trillion, as in $1,000,000,000,000+. (BTW, the next level we'll be talking about out of Washington is quadrillion, which has fifteen 0's.)

-- Despite Vice President Joe Biden's April boast that administration stimulus spending would spur the economy to add a half-million jobs a month by now, initial unemployment claims jumped a half-million last week, the worst since last November, as national unemployment remains at 9.5% and the economy sheds 131,000 more jobs.

-- But the economy's going great at the Democratic National Committee, which reports collecting $11.5 million from donors in July on top of the $53.8 million already taken in from various sources this year. The president just devoted three workdays across five states to rake in several more millions for his party.

-- But before leaving for his ninth presidential vacation, 10 days at a....

...secluded estate on Martha's Vineyard, Obama devoted four minutes in the White House driveway to a special statement on the latest disappointing jobs numbers. (Full text, as usual, can be read on the jump, along with a brief reaction from the Republican National Committee chairman.)

No questions allowed because the president didn't want to explain why despite the administration's announced Recovery Summer Program, the jobs numbers have started going backward again after 19 months of promises and $787 billion in alleged stimulation spending. Because, faced with the uncertainty of the economy and the certainty of new taxes after Nov. 2, employers are holding back on hiring

According to the president, he's been "adamant" with Congress for months now about a new jobs bill to help small businesses. Obama says this really good bill is stalled in the Senate, where so much administration legislation has been crammed through so effectively by Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Reid's been so good at it, in fact, that he's now running for his political life in a reelection campaign back in Nevada where unemployment is 14.3% and Obama's legislation is not so popular.

Reid's up against a conservative Republican. So, that means Harry Reid must be a Democrat, just like Obama, and just like 59% of the Senate's votes.

The very same party that has controlled both houses of Congress since the 2006 election and reallycontrolled them both since the 2008 hopey-changey balloting.

So, facing the growing grim possibility of a GOP surge on Nov. 2, is this maybe the start of buddy-bickering within the Democratic huddle? Vulnerable people pointing the proverbial political finger of blame at someone else? That's ridiculous, of course."

Ben Smith reported on Thursday that at least one Democrat strategist is strongly recommending that incumbent Democrats back away from the health care bill that they pushed so hard for.

A confidential PowerPoint presentation has been leaked on-line. The presentation warns "Many don't believe health care reform will help the economy". and counsels against making claims that "the law will reduce cost and [the] deficit."

On their web site, conservitive Think Tank Heritage Foundation is equating this to a Democrat call to "...abandon ship on claims that lawmakers made for months during the health reform debate--that the legislation would in any way reduce the nation's deficit or lower heal care costs..."

If public opinion continues to decline for the Democrats, I fully expect Princess Pelosi to find some way to claim that the health care bill was Bush's fault.

Yes, I Do Miss Him...

I didn't agree with everything that President Bush did, including his decision to go into Iraq. Iraq helped keep Iran in check, plus he pushed the war in Iraq before Afghanistan was stabilized militarily and politically.

BUT, I believe that on August 11 President Obama was playing golf.

It's not just about politics and policy. It's also about character.

Pelosi Doubles Down on NY Mosque

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-elusional) calls for an investigation into the funding surrounding the 9-11 Mosque. But she wants to investigate those that OPPOSE the mosque.

"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City." - Nancy Pelosi

Having the right to do something, and doing the right thing are not the same. If the true purpose of this building is outreach, dialog, and bringing faiths together, why would they choose this site?

Rush makes some interesting points:

I believe this just piles on evidence that Nancy Pelosi is an idiot, and that most of our elected officials are completely out of touch with the real America.

A Few Words From Robert Spencer

"Obama brought more goodies for Muslims in the U.S. and around the world in his Ramadan message this year. In it, he claimed that during Ramadan Muslims “provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.”

Oh, really?

When have past Ramadans ever resulted in any advancement of “opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere,” Mr. President? In reality, it’s against Islamic law to give zakat, the almsgiving that is one of the pillars of Islam and is required of every Muslim, to non-Muslims.

That’s why Western governmental agencies and Christian charities build and staff schools and hospitals in impoverished parts of Africa and Asia, but oil-rich Muslim countries have never undertaken similar endeavors. With the sharp divide in Islam between believers and unbelievers, such that Muslims are commanded to be “merciful to one another, but ruthless to the unbelievers” (Koran 48:29), there is no basis in Islamic law for the idea that Islam fosters the advance of “opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.”
