PRESIDENT OBAMA’S RESET BUTTON

The following is an editorial by James A. Ward, CAPT, USN (ret.)

President Obama is no ‘appeaser’, just ask Osama Bin Laden. Or just ask the rich who do not pay their fair share. Charles Krauthammer concluded in his  piece entitled “The wages of appeasement” that Mr. Obama is a weak President appeasing Russia and Iran. In 2008 President Obama decided upon a policy of resetting relationships with Russia and Iran because his predecessors failed to forge positive relations between America and these two adversaries. The President sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a symbolic reset button. In 2008 many reports predicted Mr. Obama’s charisma, superior intellect and presence would guide him as solver of America’s major problems.

A Google search returned over four million hits on the subject of Obama’s appeasement. There is a great deal of buzz on this matter with many believing President Obama is an ‘appeaser’. As Mr. Krauthammer rightly points out Russia and Iran have not responded positively to the reset button Secretary Clinton delivered to start the new relations. This week the Iranians are conducting naval exercises and threatening to shut down the Straits of Hormuz to disrupt the world’s oil supplies. This is tantamount to a political slap in the face to the President’s offer to shake hands with Iran without pre-conditions. The U.S. Navy has had to respond to the threat.

Is the President appeasing Russia and Iran or is there a leadership trait that could provide another explanation? Missing from the discussion of Mr. Obama’s appeasement is a look at previous President’s engagement policies with hostile states. Two recent examples are the engagement policies of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to establish positive relations between the U.S. and North Korea. North Korea, like Iran, was involved in nuclear development and the engagement provides insight. Each President’s initiative provided a reset in relations (albeit with conditions). The United States provided a billion dollars in incentives (oil and aid), but they failed to reform the relationship with North Korea. Kim Jun Il played both presidents masterfully, making deals, taking treasure from them and then breaking his promises.

But is Mr. Obama acting in appeasement or is something else at play? Certainly Mr. Obama could genuinely believe he has the best way to bring Iran into line. As a charismatic leader he has shown the ability to sway large numbers of allies to follow his lead. Look at the coordinated international stimulus and military action in Libya. Sociologist Max Weberdefined charisma as a quality of an individual by which they are set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural powers, superhuman, exceptional. The values of the charismatic leader are important. Their self-belief can be high so they believe they are infallible, able to sway their followers into the way and means they see as best. The follower’s perceptions are vital to this relationship. In this case Russia and Iran are not followers of Mr. Obama’s charismatic leadership and are not swayed by it to change.

When President Obama or former President Clinton meet people the followers often describe the experience as a life changing event due to their aura, passion, and vision. Oprah Winfrey, in describing the traits of power players, found the key to their influence is charisma, an aura of personality that draws people in and holds their rapt attention. Oprah states, “Charisma is as seductive as it is elusive; its powers are hard to resist and equally hard to pinpoint.” In the case of relations with Iran and Russia President Obama believes that his reasoned abilities will persuade, but he is blinded by an overreaching self-belief of infallibility. The President believes he can sway Iran into following his guidance. His inflated self-belief leads him to the misguided confidence that he can change the Iranian and Russian relationships. But the Iranian threats and military actions this week belie this belief.

What the President needs is a reset button for his over-reaching self-belief, not for changing Iran. For our country’s sake let’s hope that President. Obama gets a reality check on his abilities and comes to the place where he can indeed impact the course of relations with Russia and Iran. The other option is that in several years we will add his name among those of President’s Bush and Clinton as the appeasers of newly nuclear nations.

Gingrich Joins John Boehner On The Crying RINOS

Newt got all misty eyed when talking about his Mom “I get teary eyed every time we sing Christmas carols,”right before he kissed a baby, shot a shotgun, and showed his ass with an Ohio State Buckeyes tattoo right above his crack.

Here is a guy who supports the Brady Bill, lobbied for Freddie Mac, is writing an Al Gore type moonbat global warming book, cheated on two sick wives, supported Romneycare, and can be seen snuggled up on a couch with Nancy Pelosi.

He had better start crying.

Newt Gingrich today wiped away tears and was handed a tissue by an audience member in Des Moines when he became emotional onstage while talking about his mother.

“I get teary eyed every time we sing Christmas carols,” Gingrich said before his speech was overcome with emotion at an event hosted at Java Joe’s Coffee in Des Moines by CafeMom.com, a secular, bipartisan organization.

The crowd – roughly 100 people in a jam packed room — expressed a compassionate sigh of emotion.

He explained that his mother loved singing in the choir and when he was very young she made him sing in the choir... Keep Reading

Media Abet Obama's Aloofness on Tough Issues

Even though the media gave Obama a pass, the president will have to answer the issues sooner or later. The media vetting process to find the appropriate GOP presidential nominees is grueling. Because of Obama's failure as president, the media is saving the president's implosion for the presidential debate.

(RealClearPolitics) Over the past five months, the Republican presidential candidates participated in 13 debates where they fielded dozens of penetrating questions on every major issue facing the nation, and some not so major. The nationally televised and/or Internet-streamed forums each drew an average of 5 million to 6 million viewers, along with breathless wall-to-wall coverage, commentary and criticism from the news media, radio and TV talk shows, Internet blogs and partisan websites. Indeed, the GOP hopefuls have been thoroughly queried on a laundry list of issues ranging from immigration problems to the faltering economy, Iran’s nuclear program to trade deficits with China, the intricacies of climate change to strategies to combat terrorism, exploding government regulations to skyrocketing public debt, plus some uncomfortable questions about their pasts and their personal lives. Yet, during all that time, the man they hope to defeat next November has rarely been asked by news reporters about many of these issues. Since August, President Obama has held only one formal White House news conference. That came on Oct. 6, nearly three months ago. It lasted 74 minutes, shorter than any single Republican debate, and the president was asked 17 questions, most of them softballs on the economy and his latest legislative proposals to create jobs. No questions on immigration, no questions on Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan or Israel or North Korea -- global trouble spots the GOP candidates have been queried about repeatedly. Moreover, he was not asked about what spending cuts he would make to reduce the deficit, nothing about Medicare and Social Security reform or his health care law, all familiar questions for the Republicans seeking his job. Obama’s ability to avoid tough questions, skate above the fray and look presidential while his potential successors appear to be futilely flailing is not by accident. It is by White House design, abetted by a press corps that seems content with being shut out by the president and being spoon-fed the message of the day, rather than clamoring for more chances to ask him questions during this critical time.

Iowa Evangelicals Supporting Rick Santorum

Getting the evangelical vote is very important for the 2012 election. It seems the evangelicals are supporting Santorum. The GOP primary is getting really interesting.

(Reuters) - Signs that Rick Santorum is suddenly a contender in the race for the Republican nomination for president were all over Iowa on Thursday. The former Pennsylvania senator - who has built his long-shot campaign around trying to appeal to evangelical Christians in the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday - received a boost when several prominent preachers said their followers were coalescing behind Santorum. Many evangelicals see Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, as too moderate and Paul, a Texas congressman backed by libertarians, as unelectable. The winner of the Republican nomination faces Democratic President Barack Obama in November. In perhaps the most significant sign that Santorum had arrived as a contender, Texas Governor Rick Perry - the third candidate in the GOP field who has made a special point of attracting evangelicals - launched a negative radio ad against Santorum. In campaign parlance, Perry's ad - which accused Santorum of backing costly spending projects while in the Senate - was a sign of respect, an acknowledgement that Santorum had broken from the back of the pack of Republican contenders. The good vibes for Santorum came a day after a CNN/ORC poll indicated that he was running a best-ever third in the Republican race in Iowa, behind Romney and Paul and ahead of one-time leader Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker. The poll, and evangelicals' flocking to Santorum on Thursday, are signs that he is having at least some success in trying to follow the 2008 strategy of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucuses before fading out of the race. Several Christian leaders who support Santorum say they believe they have persuaded many evangelicals to unite behind Santorum. Evangelicals made up about 60 percent of the Republican vote in Iowa in 2008, helping power Huckabee to a surprise victory over Romney.

Obama Pelosi Hawaii Sex Secret?

How about this for an rumor?

 I really doubt it is true because everyone knows that Obama prefers men. Look who he is married to.

Good grief,  could you imagine the spawn resulting from a romp between those two.
Anyway this is fun reading.

"While President Obama Arrives in Hawaii Amidst Security and Fanfare, Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Slips Quietly into Big Island Resort

News that President Barack Obama arrived in Hawaii this weekend to join his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha in time for a Christmas holiday has been covered by news media worldwide.

The first family and their friends have been enjoying a reclusive 17-day holiday vacation in beach front homes in Kailua, Oahu. But another powerful politician is here for the holidays as well, albeit on another island and with less media attention. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, who served as Speaker of the House and is now head of the House minority, is once again spending her Christmas at the exotic Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu in Kona on the island of Hawaii.

Pelosi reportedly plans to spend her Christmas Eve at midnight mass in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Kailua-Kona."

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

There is speculation all over the Internet that Biden is out and Hillary is in as Vice-President.  All this is projected to happen in time for the full-out Presidential Campaign in 2012.

Oh, theorists say that Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton will actually swap jobs – Hillary to Vice-President and Biden to Secretary of State.

Yesterday, I went to my favorite barbershop for my too frequent haircut, and that was the topic of conversation.  There was no shock.  There was no concern.  There was nothing but the collective conclusion that Obama would do anything to win… including putting his former arch-adversary on the ticket with him.

The whole thing springs from a piece by Robert Reich entitled: “Get Ready For An Obama-Clinton Presidential Ticket.”  You will find it HERE.

Reich says:  "My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.

So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.

Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that’s been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that."

As far-fetched as it may sound, at first, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I can see where Mr. Reich may, indeed, have a point.  But, what I don’t get is why the seeming panic in the Obama camp? 

I must be the only commentator on the right who thinks Obama stands an excellent chance of winning another term in November of 2012.  As excruciating to my friends on the right to hear such prognostications coming from a fellow conservative – there it is.

My reasoning is this (and I have said it ad nausium):  I am simply not convinced the GOP has a candidate currently running who stands a snowballs chance in Hades of beating Obama in 2012.  It has been a very long time; in fact, in my lifetime (over 7 decades) I cannot remember a weaker GOP ticket going up against an incumbent President – especially one with weak poll numbers.

The number one complaint I hear from fellow republicans is -- we have no one running, I can vote for.”  Granted, I’m in the southern part of the United States and maybe it is a “southern thing” – but, honestly, I don’t think so.

I just do not see Romney doing well in the south.  Once the primaries move into the southern tier of states, I expect Gingrich to begin picking up a few states.  Of course, his recent decline in the polls would indicate otherwise.

I mean, just stand back, and take an objective look at the GOP candidates.  The GOP’s favorite son is, without doubt, Romney.  But the record so far indicated by the polls is that the party and the voters do not share that admiration for Romney – especially in the South. 

When you consider the way voters have gone through the GOP candidates, one by one, it is clear the electorate is in an “anybody but Romney” mood. Well, maybe “anybody” is too strong.  Maybe it should be “SOMEBODY” other than Romney.

Conservative voter in my neck of the woods are STILL searching for a candidate they can get behind.  And, frankly, they have come to resent the GOP’s obvious and persistent promotion of Romney.  An angry electorate is not good for the party, especially when that anger is directed at the GOP and not at the democrat candidate. 

The enthusiasm is simply not there, and that spells HUGE trouble for the GOP at the polls in November.

It ought to tell you something when a candidate, Mr. Romney, has been running for President for fully five years and he STILL has not been able to win over the electorate in numbers that would translate into a victory in November of 2012.

Southern conservatives see Mr. Romney as a northeastern liberal-to-moderate candidate acceptable to voters in the northern tier of states but distinctly unpalatable where the word “conservative” seems to mean something entirely different than it does in the North. 

Those southern votes that support Obama’s leftist/socialist agenda are already aboard Obama’s campaign.  It will make very little difference to them whether Joe Biden remains as Obama’s running mate or he is replaced with Hillary Clinton.  They are going to vote for Obama – period.  They are, as we say, a lock.

There is no candidate in the GOP stable with a lock on the electorate and that would seem to hold true in a huge portion of the United States.

Nothing I have seen and heard, so far, has changed my belief that Romney, if chosen, will lose, and lose convincingly, to Obama in November 2012.

US Navy to Iran Navy, Do Not Even Think About it

The Iranian navy is no match for the power of the Fifth Fleet. It is a joke if Iran wants to mess with the United States. It would be suicide. Iran is acting like a spoiled brat. Being raise old school, there is a remedy to stop a child who is throwing a tantrum, and it is not putting them in "time-out".

(Reuters) - The U.S. Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran threatened to stop ships moving through the world's most important oil route. "Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated," the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail. Iran, at loggerheads with the West over its nuclear program, said on Tuesday it would stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf if sanctions were imposed on its crude exports. Analysts say that Iran could potentially cause havoc in the Strait of Hormuz, a strip of water separating Oman and Iran, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, it is 21 miles across. But its navy would be no match for the firepower of the Fifth Fleet which consists of 20-plus ships supported by combat aircraft, with 15,000 people afloat and another 1,000 ashore. A British Foreign Office spokesman called the Iranian threat "rhetoric," saying: "Iranian politicians regularly use this type of rhetoric to distract attention from the real issue, which is the nature of their nuclear program."

Sarah Palin Stumping in Iowa. Supporters Going Rogue

From a radio advertisement airing in Iowa: "Are you unhappy with the current GOP field? Let me tell you something, you are not alone. Join thousands of Iowans as we vote rogue. It's the caucus for Sarah Palin on January 3. Let Iowa and the entire country know we want real leadership and real reform in DC. So come on Iowa, vote rogue on January 3!" An independent group is running ads in Iowa asking voters to write in Palin's name. They will air on KCAU-TV in the Sioux City, Iowa market. Some will also air as a commercial during the Broncos-Chiefs game on WHBF-TV in the market for the eastern border of Iowa. Hannity asked Palin what she would do as President and she answered him. Palin admits jumping in the race if the GOP candidates aren't able to step it up. This is getting really interesting.

Nancy Pelosi Deciding to Retire Before the 2012 Election

Democrats will not be immune to a major backlash from the American people in 2012. To save face, many Democrats in Washington decided to retire. Several days ago, Democrat Senator Ben Nelson decided to retire. As Democrats decided to play the spoilers, the American voters will continue to purge them out of Congress. Democrats took control of Washington in 2006. For the next six years, the economy went into shambles and Congress spent like a drunken sailor. In 2012, things will be different.

(BigGovernment) Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told Big Government this week that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors. During a telephone interview, Ms. Pelosi–speaking from a friend’s home in New York City–described her mother’s predicament: She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying. Minority Leader Pelosi’s departure would make room for her deputy and former rival, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), who currently serves as Minority Whip. Hoyer is widely seen as more moderate than Pelosi. She opposed his election to the party leadership in 2006, choosing instead to back the late Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA), despite his ethical challenges.

How Hotair And RedState Are Handing the Nomination To Romney

I am so disappointed in the conservative blogosphere. Most, but not all, have forgotten the lessons of 2008, and have forgotten what made 2010 a success.

Like the proverbial dog turning back on it's own puke, they have bought the electable moderate myth again, and are back to pushing grey area political sellouts.

Moderates that can't win in a National election.

Ask John McCain!

There were only three true conservatives running, now there are two: Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.

But do you think they have received any support from the blogs? Hell no!! Hot-air has done nothing but try to undermine them at every turn.

That Allahpundit is a nothing more than an establishment flunky, and a progressive hack. Erick Erickson, on the other hand, is just too dumb to realize what he is doing.

But he is not alone.

Hotair, RCP, Free Republic, Right Wing News, Red State, are all actively and openly campaigning against social conservatives.

They stubbornly backed Gingrich, who not only is an Al Gore environmentalist, but was also on the take with Freddie Mac. And did I mention that he supports the Brady Bill? Did I mention that the sorry sucker cheated on not one but two sick wives?

Newt Gingrich is the disgusting result of a nasty three way between Bill Clinton , Al Gore and Barney Frank .

He is freaking unelectable! Crap even I predicted that his bubble would pop just as soon as he started to rise.

It was a no brainer.

But now the very astute and very cosmopolitan dipshit from Red State is pissed off at social conservatives, saying they are about to "shoot us in the foot again."

Who is shooting who Ericka?

This is coming from a guy who spent waisted half of the primaries blowing smoke up the butt of Rick Perry, a man that is too dumb to talk.

Then, with the drool still running down both sides of Perry's mouth during the debate, he jumped ship and started backing Newt Gingrich.

Nobody but a complete moron would not know that he was destined to crash and burn.

Now this fluffy little redheaded pussy has the nerve to say that social conservatives are helping Romney?

You have got to be kidding me!

What would the race be like today if he would have had the intelligence and foresight to back a Bachman or a Santorum?

The two that are actually electable.

I hope that Romney gives him a reach around while he has him broke over, because he sure deserves one.

Red State and Hot Air has done more to ensure a Romney victory than Romney himself.

Here is Ericka crying. 

No Surprise, Iowa Social Conservatives Are About To Shoot Us All in the Foot Again | RedState

"I’m hearing several campaigns and external pollsters have a surge for Rick Santorum. With the National Review folks fawning over him again, it probably means a surge is real and any surge by Rick Santorum is another factor ensuring Mitt Romney wins the nomination. (To be fair, this doesn’t look like real momentum)

Santorum has no money or organization outside of Iowa and cannot win the nomination, but Iowans love a guy who sucks up to them and makes sure they know he loves the babies.

As a pro-lifer myself, I have to throw up a bit in my mouth that Iowa conservatives are seriously considering Rick Santorum, which will only help Mitt Romney, a guy who even after his supposedly heartfelt conversion to life put some seriously pro-abortion judges on the Massachusetts bench hiding behind the “Well it was Massachusetts for Pete’s sake” defense."

Michael Savage - Ron Paul 'A Dangerous Old Lunatic'

This should bring a few Runt Paul trolls out from under their rock.

Defending Capitalism as Moral

                Too often do we Conservatives end up forgetting that many people are not governed solely by Logic and Reason.  Whether it is a sad fact or not isn’t the issue.  Rather, what has harmed many and has left many would-be-Free-Market-defenders declawed is the fact that for the most part, the defense of it has been based only on logic.  While all the facts and theories stand in our favor, they still leave us wanting.

                The fact remains that we are in many ways left open to the attack of Morality.  What are we supposed to do when a socialist responds to our logical claims for the free Market with, “Well what do you think Jesus would want us to do?” or “It is the responsibility for each of us to give to his fellow man,” as justifications for Welfare and the rest of the social safety nets?  In many ways we can’t say much.  With many of us being followers of some religion or another, we can’t help but recognize the fact that our faiths desire us to be charitable. 

                And so this is why there is a need for an ethical foundation for Capitalism.  We cannot hope to gain support merely by battling with Logic – we are not merely analytical, cut and dry creatures.  As humans we possess an inherent need to have some moral guidance in which we can apply to our daily lives.  And so it is necessary for us to show how Capitalism is the only Moral economic system in existence.

                Here we have to look at all the other economic systems.  Communism, Feudalism, Socialism, Welfare statism (which is really just a branch of socialism), and then the Mixed Economy are all immoral in their own way.  In Capitalism, all men are given equal rights.  One man isn’t viewed by the government as more worthy of protection than another.  With this asserted, we have to see how men are treated in this system.  In Capitalism, Individuals trade as that – Individuals.  They aren’t serfs sacrificial to the king are they?  They aren’t the Individuals sacrificial to the Commune are they?  No.  This is why Capitalism is the only Moral System, instead of a sacrificial animal, he is a man, and he is an Individual who can’t be coerced by Force. 

                How can the Left fight this morally?  The Jesus issue isn’t even relevant because Jesus would never have Forced anyone to do anything for the “Greater Good” – that  was their choice.  The responsibility to each other doesn’t mean that we should be forced to do things for others – that would be our choice.  Socialists would say they wouldn’t force Individuals to do such things, but it is a lie.  In Socialism and Communism the only way they achieve their ends is by force and violence.  For proof of such, look at Russia. 

                It is time for us to embrace this approach.  It time for us to fight the Left with an appeal to both logos and ethos.  We will never convince and defeat every collectivist, but we can do better than we are.  It is time for the idea of the Controlled economy to be destroyed and that will only be done by this – proving that Capitalism is the ONLY Morally correct economic system.  Until we embrace this, we will fail. 

Michele Bachmann Reveals Her ‘Favorite’ Gun: ‘An AR-15′ — Here’s Why

Just another reason to love Michele Bachmann

from TheBlaze.com - Stories by Jonathon M. Seidl

Have you ever wondered what presidential candidate Michele Bachmann considers her favorite gun? Well wonder no more: it’s an AR-15.

An AR-15 -- Michele Bachmann's favorite gun.

Bachmann made the revelation during a radio interview with WHO-AM RADIO on Thursday morning. But that wasn’t the only gun-related news she discussed. She also talked about how she‘s a concealed carry permit holder and how she’s actually set to go on an upcoming bird hunt with Rep. Steve King.
“Hey, I’m a pretty good shot, I got to tell you,” she said, later adding, “I learned how to hunt here in Iowa from my dad. I went through gun safety when I was 12. … And I scored the best in my class of any of the men, too, in that class.”
So why does she like the AR-15 so much? “Because you can be so accurate with it.”
“I love it. I love it, it’s a great gun. I like being accurate, and that is a great gun.”
You can listen to her describe her love for the AR-15, as well as the size of her magazine, below:

Megyn Kelly Interviews Strange Lying Paul Bot That Had Infiltrated Bachmann Camp

Not my intention my ass. This bald headed weirdo is just another brain dead dipshit who had planned all along to worm his way into the Bachmann campaign and then defect, just to help his creepy little master.

He was just trying to cause problems for the straw pole winner, just days before the caucus.

Like how they put it at the Right Scoop.

Kent Sorenson is basically a Ron Paul supporter who was working for Bachmann because Paul’s campaign hadn’t started yet. But instead of sticking with Bachmann to the end, he decided to betray her campaign just days before the Iowa caucuses and go work for Ron Paul because he is now in the lead and Sorenson wanted to help him get over the top. That’s a pretty crappy thing to do if you ask me.

He also said Michele Bachmann and his former campaign manager Susan Geddes were lying even though they both say he told them (Geddes said multiple times) that he was offered money by the Paul campaign to switch. And to be honest, I just don’t believe him. For one, I just don’t believe Michele Bachmann would lie so blatantly in the audio they played of her. Secondly, it’s corroborated by his former campaign manager as reported by the NY Daily News today.

But here is the rest of the story with the Dick Morris Interview.

From Chris At The Bachmann Cometh - Daren Jonescu at Canada Free Press points out that Dick Morrisz is working with the establishment to shut Michele Bachmannz down by making the false impression that Santorum has the momentum now.

Welcome to Establishment Fear-Mongering 101

Apart from die-hard Ron Paul supporters, does anyone seriously believe that Paul can win the Republican nomination? Strategist Dick Morris agrees with you; of course he can’t win. But that did not prevent Morris from making the “terrifying” danger of Paul’s candidacy the theme of his interview with guest-host Mark Steyn on Hannity the other day. And his reasoning was a perfect window into the Washington Establishment’s machinations during this primary season. His method was to produce an irrational fear in voters’ hearts. His purpose was to cause frightened voters to run home to Mommy—who (surprise!) happens to look a lot like Newt Gingrich.

Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem Prediction UFC 14

Bumped from Nov 15

 Look for Brock to be more cautious in this fight. His game plan will be to hang on to Alistair and take as little punishment as possible, trying to get the fight in the latter rounds. He will shoot and hang on, but he won’t try to finish the fight until Overeem is gassed.

Overeem will try baiting Lesnar into a slug fest by being the aggressor; Lesnar in turn will just grab on and try his best to tie him up. He will get in a few good licks, but I don’t think that he will be able to knock Lesnar out.

Overeem will be gassed by the 3th; Lesnar will have him on the ground throwing Donkey Kong hammer fists until the ref calls the fight.

That is my prediction; I am seldom wrong, but feel free to come back and rub it in if I am.

Here is the fight hype video

Rick Santorum the Likely Sleeper in GOP Primary

It has been a roller coaster ride throughout the GOP primaries. Many front-runners took the lead, but faltered down the road. While Ron Paul got the support of the Libertarian Party and Newt/Romney got the support of the GOP establishment, the conservative voters are lost. We have seen Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry falter. Also, Herman Cain dropped out. The only person left is Rick Santorum. Similar to "Survivor", the last person standing usually wins.

(FoxNews) With 45 percent of Iowa Republican voters undecided and a roller-coaster ride about to come to a screeching stop next Tuesday with the GOP caucuses, it may be Rick Santorum's turn to take the final ascent and surprise the political class by ... doing better than expected? Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, has been touted as the sleeper candidate by none other than 2008 Iowa caucuses winner Mike Huckabee. He has relentlessly campaigned in the state, hitting all 99 counties and moving his family out there. He has held 350 campaign events in the past year. He has received key endorsements from well-known social conservatives in the state, and has had solid performances at each of the debates. And he's running an old-school style campaign that Iowa voters expect in the retail-style politics of the Hawkeye State. The man whose at the back of the polling pack -- despite recent buzz giving him a late boost -- is taking nothing for granted but has nothing to lose. Santorum, who claims organization and message will make the difference, is also banking on a divide and conquer strategy. "There's really three primaries going on here," Santorum said. "Ron Paul has his own primary, the libertarian primary. And (Newt) Gingrich and (Mitt) Romney are sort of the establishment primary. And I think there are three who are vying for the conservative mantle to go up against the Gingrich-Romney duo. And I think that I'm going to be the one coming out Iowa with that mantle. "And if we can do that, then we're off to the races here, and conservatives around the country, just like they're doing here in Iowa, are going to start rallying around our campaign," he said.

Obama is Planning to Raise the Debt Ceiling Again

We we go again raising the debt ceiling. This will never end.

(Reuters) - The White House plans to ask Congress by the end of the week for an increase in the government's debt ceiling to allow the United States to pay its bills on time, according to a senior Treasury Department official on Tuesday. The approval is expected to go through without a challenge, given that Congress is in recess until later in January and the request is in line with an agreement to keep the U.S. government funded into 2013. The debt is projected to fall within $100 billion of the current cap by December 30, when the United States has $82 billion in interest on its debt and payments such as Social Security coming due. President Barack Obama is expected to ask for authority to increase the borrowing limit by $1.2 trillion, part of the spending authority that was negotiated between Congress and the White House this summer. Under the agreement struck in August during the showdown over the government's debt limit, the cap is automatically raised unless Congress votes to block the debt-ceiling extension. Lawmakers have 15 days within receiving the request to vote, which is largely symbolic because the president can veto it and Congress would be unlikely to muster the two-thirds majority to override it. Moreover, the U.S. House of Representatives also is in recess until January 17. The deal called for raising the debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion to serve the nation's borrowing needs into 2013 and also included mandatory cuts to the federal budget deficit. Since then, the extension has been increased twice by a total of $900 billion. The debt limit currently stands at $15.194 trillion and would increase to $16.394 trillion with the request.

Ben Nelson Retiring May Give GOP the Senate

In the 21st century, moderates from both parties are becoming extinct. The American people are getting fed up with inconsistent in Congress. The new trend is to determine if a politician has a liberal ideology or a conservative ideology. I will help the American voters decide when they go in the voting booth. Having Ben Nelson retire will help the GOP take full control of the Senate. It is nice to see conservatism coming back in style.

Sen. Ben Nelson Retires (By Jamie Dupree) Democrats got some unwelcome election news on Tuesday, when Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska announced he would not seek re-election, giving Republicans a good opportunity to pick up a Senate seat in the 2012 elections. "I want to thank Senator Nelson for his years of service representing the people of Nebraska," said President Obama in a written statement issued by the White House. Mr. Obama also took time to note Nelsons's middle-of-the-road politics, which often earned him the political stink eye from fellow Democrats. "Over the course of his career, Ben’s commitment to working with both Democrats and Republicans across a broad range of issues is a trait far too often overlooked in today’s politics," said the President. But to most in both parties, Nelson's willingness to vote with Republicans was reason number one that many Democrats had been secretly wishing that Nelson would just stay in Omaha. Nelson is certainly one of a dying breed, the Blue Dog Democrat, as those conservatives are almost extinct now in the Congress. As of now, this seat would seem to favor Republicans; but a lot of that could well depend on the candidates who end up in the race. Democrats were already trying to convince former Sen. Bob Kerrey to run again; it doesn't seem that long ago that I was covering Kerrey when he crossed swords with President Bill Clinton on budget policies. Just as I'm dating myself a little with a mention of Bob Kerrey, it doesn't seem that long ago that the Congress had a big chunk of conservative Democrats and more liberal Republicans. But both parties have done a very effective job of purging those types from their party ranks. Chalk up another one with Nelson's departure.

Israel Shouldn’t Ask Obama for “Permission”

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

Israel doesn’t trust the Obama Administration.  That is plain. Israel is right not to do so.

There is no love lost between Israel’s government and the Obama administration. 

Somehow, the Obama Administration seems to have the mistaken opinion that Israel is a satellite state of America.  It isn’t. 

When America’s government continues to fly  representatives of the US State Department and the Pentagon into Israel with dictatorial attitudes and demanding Israel do things the Obama way and even demanding that Israel ask permission from the Obama Administration before they mount a raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, you’d better believe the Israeli government is PO’ed.  In fact there are reports that Israel has filed a “demarche” with the US.  A demarche is a formal protest.  It is rare between “friends.”

Israel should not ask permission or even alert Washington when they execute the raid on Iran.  That is the nature of a secret operation.  You tell no one – period.  You certainly do not tell a government you don’t trust to keep the secret.

It has been a while since America has had such an amateurish foreign policy team.  They bring to mind the “gang who couldn’t shoot straight.”

Israel is well advised to stir as clear of the US State Department as it possibly can. The Department of Defense, under the Obama Administration, is not much better.

Israel is the only friend America has in the Middle East and Obama is losing that friend.  At times, it seems intentional.   One would think Obama is seeking to make it clear to the Islamic nations in the region that Israel is on its own. In more ways than one, Obama has made it obvious that he favors the Islamic nations over Israel. 

One look at the Islamic nations of the Middle East today and you quickly see the entire region is in flames – except for Israel. So much for Obama’s favor.

America’s extremely vocal President, early on in his term in office, made the decision to talk to Iran.  Apparently he had convinced himself that his oratorical skills would just melt the Iranians and he, Obama, would be the “Great Peacemaker” in the Middle East.  Well, that worked our just swell, didn’t it? 

One of the first things you learn on the playground of grade school is that you cannot negotiate with bullies.  You have to overpower them, one way, or the other.  Oftimes that means meeting violence with violence.  Reluctance to actually use violence against a bully will certainly guarantee one’s submission to the bully.  Having said that, it is interesting to note that Islam means “submission.” 

The on-going sabotage efforts by Israel’s Mossad and America’s various spy agencies, have had limited success.  It should be understood that those efforts are not going to bring Iran’s march toward acquiring a nuclear bomb to a halt.  At best those efforts will only slow the program.  But the threat remains and is, in fact, growing.

It is extremely difficult for Americans to accept that the recent American bellicosity framed as “warnings” to Iran by the Obama Administration are sincere.   If Americans don’t believe them, then how on earth can we expect the Iranians to believe them?  Even US government experts have been reported as opining that when the balloon goes up, they simply do not know how Obama will react.

Obama is quickly running out of options.  The threatened oil embargo now appears to be useless when sympathizing countries promise Iran they will make up the difference.  The string is about to run out for Obama and his promises.

The final option is a military strike to cripple or destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.  That strike will be carried out by the US, Israel, or both.

It would be wrong for America to stand on the sidelines and allow the destruction of Israel and maybe a few eastern European nations to boot – especially when it can be avoided.

America cannot afford to alienate Israel.  We need Israel just as they need us.

Erick Erickson Is A Dumbass

The very astute and very cosmopolitan dipshit from Red State is pissed off at social conservatives, saying they are about to "shoot us in the foot again."

Who is shooting who Ericka?

This is coming from a guy who spent waisted half of the primaries blowing smoke up the butt of Rick Perry, a man that is too dumb to talk.

Then, with the drool still running down both sides of Perry's mouth during the debate, he jumped ship and started backing Newt Gingrich. Another unelectable dip who's past is a cross between Bill Clinton and Barney Frank. Nobody but a complete moron would not know that he was destined to crash and burn.

Now this fluffy little redheaded pussy has the nerve to say that social conservatives are helping Romney?

You have got to be kidding me!

What would the race be like today if he would have had the intelligence and foresight to back a Bachman or a Santorum?

The two that are actually electable.

I hope that Romney gives him a reach around while he has him broke over, because he sure deserves one.

Red State and Hot Air has done more to ensure a Romney victory than Romney himself.

No Surprise, Iowa Social Conservatives Are About To Shoot Us All in the Foot Again | RedState

"I’m hearing several campaigns and external pollsters have a surge for Rick Santorum. With the National Review folks fawning over him again, it probably means a surge is real and any surge by Rick Santorum is another factor ensuring Mitt Romney wins the nomination. (To be fair, this doesn’t look like real momentum)

Santorum has no money or organization outside of Iowa and cannot win the nomination, but Iowans love a guy who sucks up to them and makes sure they know he loves the babies.

As a pro-lifer myself, I have to throw up a bit in my mouth that Iowa conservatives are seriously considering Rick Santorum, which will only help Mitt Romney, a guy who even after his supposedly heartfelt conversion to life put some seriously pro-abortion judges on the Massachusetts bench hiding behind the “Well it was Massachusetts for Pete’s sake” defense."

White People are Leaving California Video

Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum Or Nothing

The 2012 Republican primary process has been a learning experience for me as a blogger. It has revealed who are the conservative bloggers and who are the establishment stooges.

It was very disappointing to watch blog after blog let the old boy RINOs in DC tell them what who was and was not electable. Rush, Levin, Beck, Hannity all tried to warn them, saying "don't fall for it; they can all beat Obama." But like a bunch of stubborn jackasses they wouldn't listen.

Hotair, RCP, Free Republic, Right Wing News, Red State, were the worst of them. They stubbornly backed Gingrich, who not only is an Al Gore environmentalist, but was also on the take with Freddie Mac. And did I mention that he supports the Brady Bill, and that the sorry sucker cheated on not one but two sick wives? He is the disgusting result of a three way between Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Barney Frank.

Some of them have even started backing the liberal progressive Mitt Romney, now that Gingrich has started sliding in the polls.

On the contrary Conservative Blogs Central has been true blue conservative.

We have not wavered from our conservative values. And we will not back another John McCain RINO for any office, from the school board to the President of the United States.

If Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum does not win the GOP nomination I am done.

I will not support another lukewarm conservative like Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. And I am damn sure not going to vote for a creepy nut like Ron Paul.

I did it with John McCain in 2008, but no more; I will not do it again. These establishment candidates have no chance of beating someone like Obama, because millions of Teaparty, social cocservatives and evangelicals feel the same as I.

If it takes another four more years of Obama for Republicans to realize that sticking with true conservatives is the path to victory, then maybe that is the best thing that can happen.

There is not such a thing as an independent in this day and time. You either fire up the base, or you have half of your voters sit out.

I thought that the RINO McCain taught us this hard lesson already.

The poles polls show that we are slow learners.

Why Ayn Rand Scares the Left

If there is any intellectual of the last 100 years who scares the Left, it is Ayn Rand. One needs only to search her name on the internet and they will find that she is perhaps more abused and insulted than Milton Friedman and Reagan. Often the charges that most attack her with can be boiled down to “She believes that people should be self-centered bastards and not give a damn about anyone else.”

While anyone who has taken the time to read her fiction and nonfiction works knows that the above claim isn’t accurate, the fact that Rand is the target of so many wannabe-commentators reveals the amount of anger that the woman brings out in the Left. The question honestly begs to be asked – why? Why does this Russian immigrant, who died in 1982, bring Liberals to the use of such vitriol and character assassination?

The answer is actually quite simple – she makes sense. She is to Socialism what David was to Goliath and the Left simply doesn’t know how to respond to her except to demagogue and paint her as a puppet to the elitists. Unlike some of the more pacifistic fighters for the Right and Libertarianism Rand doesn’t hold back, if anything she removes the veil that the Progressive and Socialist movement has used for decades – the veil of “the Greater Good”. It had been this façade that left far too many Conservatives stammering during the New Deal, with the passing of Social Security, and the growth of Welfare. However she tore it off with her philosophy of the Individual and showed the true face of the Left with her novels.

Rand explained that Capitalism is the only Moral Economic System because unlike Socialism, Feudalism, Communism, Welfare Statism, and the Mixed Economy, Capitalism treats people as Individuals and not the sacrificial animals that all the other systems did. She preached that instead of appeasing everyone else, that one should live for his own happiness. That Innovation is created by Free Individuals and not Government coercion.

This is what infuriates the Left. Ayn makes clear how the “Good Intentions” of government regulation often lead to worldly Hell. Her novella “Anthem” shows how government constraint goes against progress. And her magna opus “Atlas Shrugged” paints the end result of a society that doesn’t give Individuals their freedom. In short, she kills the Left’s Utopian ideals with logic.

It was nearly fifty years ago that Whitaker Chambers savaged “Atlas Shrugged” in the National Review and separated the Conservative Movement from Rand. Now we are beginning to see the reemergence of Randian ideas with the Tea Party and members of the Republican Party who are influenced by her like Paul Ryan and Rand Paul. It is time for the Right to admit it and embrace it – Rand is right.

Iranians Seem Ignorant of US Military Power

Iranians Seem Ignorant of US Military Power

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

Over the holidays I took time to visit a few Middle Eastern websites and read the reports of Iran’s latest naval war games.  I also read a number of comments on those sites.  I must tell you I was shocked by the comments left by those purporting to be, well, Iranians, or supporters of Iran.  Actually, the comments I read overwhelmingly demonstrated the hatred held in the region for America.  THAT is NOT what shocked me. 

We have read often of the “educated people” of Iran.  Supposedly a Middle Eastern country with a populace better educated than many, if not most, of her neighbors   After my visits to their websites, I have extreme doubt about their education in so far as it pertains to world affairs, especially anything having to do with America, American history, the American character, and/or the American military prowess.

I suppose when one lives in a closed society, like Iran, and when that society is ruled over by a group of extreme fundamentalist clerics, where life is cheap, and one is taught one’s life belongs to the mullahs and only your death has value, then wild, extreme, statements concerning the certain destruction of America (and Israel) is what passes for manliness.

It is really sad to see a people whose lives are so devoid of meaning and so filled with hate that they are willing to destroy themselves and their entire country in an attempt to prove, what, exactly?  To prove they are really BAD men?  To prove they are masculine in the extreme?  To prove their love for some god called Allah?  To prove they had rather be dead than alive?

All the bellicose threats coming out of Iran these days is only hurting Iran.  Theirs is the sort of speech that ignites wars. Theirs are the kinds of actions that will bring the wrath of the entire world down on their heads.

Most everyone knows that if you poke a tiger with a stick long enough and often enough, eventually it will tire of your sport and simply devour you.  Everyone knows that -- but Iran.

Look.  If Iran is planning on going to war with the US -- and expecting China and Russia to back them to the hilt -- they are in for a very rude awakening.  Russia simply does not have the wherewithal to do very much but provide a few munitions.  China? Well, China is not about to actually take on it’s number one customer and risk all the money America owes them in loans to defend some Middle Eastern country which has little to offer China -- other than oil.  There’s lots of oil available from a host of other countries around the globe that would be happy to have China as a customer.  Sorry Iran.  Munitions and moral support is the realistic expectation of Russian and Chinese involvement in an Iranian war against the US.

We have seen this sort of display of bravado before from chest-thumping wannabe  They usually wind up with the destruction of their country and a lot of dead leaders, both political and religious, and generations of rebuilding.  regimes in rogue nations around the globe.

Iran’s “bathtub navy” is embarrassingly impotent.  Oh, sure, they have a few good weapons and, sure, they will get in a few “hits” … before they are sent to the bottom.  One has to wonder if that is how they intend to block the Straits of Hormuz … with the sunken derelicts of their own second hand navy?

The bottom line is:  Iran is going to be attacked by the US, or Israel, or both.  And yes, Iran will attempt to close the Straits… and they may succeed… for a week, or so.  Then the hammer comes down.

Iran’s hyperbole these days is cartoonishly funny.  If, however, they are foolish enough to light the fuse on a war, America will stop laughing -- and Iran will find that it has “talked” itself onto a path to national destruction from which there is no turning back.

Just days ago, we were singing of peace on earth and goodwill toward men as the world teeters on the cusp of Armageddon. (It reminded a great deal of the kid whistling as he walks past a graveyard at night.) The entire globe, today, is one huge powder keg with a smoldering fuse.  It behooves people of sanity to tread softly, and speak softly, less that smoldering fuse sparks to life and the entire planet blows up in war. 

Many pundits and modern-day soothsayers have proclaimed that, indeed, Iran’s goal is to bring war and chaos to the earth to prepare the way for the return of the Twelfth Imam.  (Read more about the 12^th Imam HERE.)  Their ultimate goal is to conquer the entire world in the name of Islam and establish a one-world, Islamic, theocratic, government – just like the one in Iran.

  

There can be no doubt that unless Iran changes her belligerent attitude, there will be war, and the people of Iran will suffer greatly – and lose.  It is no secret that forces are already in motion in preparation for a war with Iran. 

Iran’s dependence on what they feel is an elite military is misplaced.  That will quickly become obvious once hostilities begin.

Someone once said:  “It is better to have an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep.”  The people of Iran would do well to ponder this proverb -- deeply -- before allowing the first shot to be fired.

Mother Of The Year

HT WIRE CUTTER

Pupu Patter

There's clearly something magical about Hawaii that makes politicians want to spend large amounts of money (not that they ever need a big push in that direction).

As a case in point, while enjoying his $4 million vacation on Oahu, Barack Obama is expected to make a casual phonecall back to Washington this week (probably from the golf course, where he's spent more time this year than in his previous two years in office) requesting yet another $1.2 trillion in mad money.

After making a big deal of "giving" $40 to hardworking Americans last week, the cost of this latest expenditure will be $4000 to each and every man, woman, and child in the nation. So much for "pizza night" or buying insulin.

And Hawaii's warm salt air has also encouraged Nancy Pelosi (that champion of America's common people) to go on a bit of a spending spree - treating herself to a $10,000 per night suite at a luxurious vacation resort. Of course, she's got the money to do it - thanks to barely legal and highly unethical insider trading schemes which have helped this "public servant" amass a personal fortune estimated to be as high as $196 million while the net worth of average Americans nosedived.

So the question in our minds is does Hawaii create spendthrifts, or just attract them? Either way, it might be good to force politicians to stay in Washington during the long, cold winter.

It might remind them that for America's distressed, depressed, overtaxed, and unemployed that life's a bitch...and not a beach.

Having a great time! Wish you weren't poor!

The Best and Most Amusing Quotes of 2011 - Top Quotes of 2011

by Mark A. Cohen - Over 165 of his blog posts can be read at fromthelefttotheright[dot]blogspot[dot]com

You can frustrate yourself with The Washington Post's top quotes (bashing mostly Republican candidates, of course, and the indefensible Rep. Anthony Weiner of NY), written by liberal Chris Cillizza, or you can amuse yourself with mine. As always, your choice is the best choice – and - you don’t need big government to decide this one for you!

#11 – Mar. 29, 2011 - “The Tea Party is pulling Boehner too far over to the right and so far over that there is no more fruitful negotiations,” Senator Charles Schumer. The truth is that the Republicans have done their job and proposed multiple pieces of legislation. The Democrats are obstructionist, stubborn, and are unwilling to negotiate with them.

#10 - Jan. 19, 2011 - “They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," - Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), no relation to the author. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it.” I guess so. If the liberals keep telling us the government takeover of health care is a lie, Steve, maybe some people will believe them!

#9 - Oct. 18, 2011 - "…We hope he [Mohammar Ghaddafi] can be captured or killed soon, so you don't have to fear him any longer. Secretary Hillary Clinton. Ghaddafi died two days later!

#8 – Mar. 31, 2011 - “I'm tired of reading the Constitution and all the silly things we’ve done for the last 13 weeks." - Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). The reading McDermott spoke of began during the new Congress (after the 2010 elections) and Rep. Giffords (D-AZ) participated in them prior to being shot.

#7 - Sep. 19, 2011 – This is not class warfare…” - President Obama. Sure it’s not!

#6 - Dec. 25, 2011 – “Divided government…doesn’t work anymore…because you have a new crop of Tea Party House Republicans…” – CBS Correspondent Nancy Cordes. Good thing the Mainstream Media is objective!

#5 - Feb. 5, 2011 - “Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries,” he said. “We have to get to the root of the problem.” - British PM David Cameron spoke about multiculturalism in Europe and in his own country, and how it doesn’t promote national unity. This serves as a warning to America as well.

#4 - Dec. 6, 2011 – “So … why do so many Americans want the big government to run things when they can't run them? They just can't do it!” Bill O’Reilly to Charles Krauthammer on The O’Reilly Factor on FOX.

#3 - Apr. 17, 2011 - "If you target them [stopping the mortgage deduction] on the most fortunate Americans, they can afford to take a little bit larger share of the burden. They can afford to do that." - Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary, on This Week with Christiane Amanpour. But, how does he know who can afford what? Who is he to decide?

#2 – Mar. 25, 2011 "This is the only country where it's legal to be 'illegal.'” Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on Red Eye.

And, now my favorite quote of 2011:

#1 - Feb. 15, 2011 - "Liberals don't care about blacks, they don't care about women, they don't care about gays. They care about destroying the family so that you have one loyalty. And that is to the state." - Ann Coulter.

Have Fun - and a Responsible and a Happy New Year to all!!
