Obama Deserves Little to No Credit
 By Jerry McConnell Full Story First let me offer my heartiest congratulations and kudos to our northern neighbors on the almost total obliteration of the liberals in their political offices.  May we here in the United States be as fortunate in November, 2012.
I’m sorry, America, but I can’t join in the celebration of Osama bin Laden’s demise.  It’s not that I am not happy this villain is dead, it’s just that I don’t want to honor the lies that our disgraceful snippet of a deluded leader is slavering all over anyone foolish enough to listen. He is making it sound as if HE planned and led the troops in the execution of the entire exercise.  He also sounds close to claiming credit for it being his idea for several years.  On 9/11/01 he was probably out hustling the neighborhoods in his community activist role.

Patriotism is the Last Refuge of a Liberal
 By Daniel Greenfield Full Story The man who came into office promising multilateral engagement, no more torture and a civilian justice system for terrorists, now has only accomplishment to his name. A unilateral invasion and assassination based on intelligence gained through enhanced interrogation, carried out by men whom his supporters had once condemned as a secret assassination squad. What a failure Obama is that even the one success to his name is a testament to the failure of his own ideas.
Liberals joyfully proclaimed that the One would redeem America’s reputation. No longer would we torture terrorists, detain them in prison camps and try them with military tribunals. A shining new golden age was here. Two lawyers to every Al-Qaeda terrorist and a national apology for going outside the civilian justice system. Now three years later, the only thing they have to celebrate is that their man trashed every one of their hopes and dreams just to keep his head above water in the polls.

Bin Laden Burial Account Requires Better Explanation
 By Trevor Westra Full Story One of the more peculiar storylines emerging from this week’s news that U.S. Navy Seals successfully killed the elusive Islamic-terrorist figurehead Osama bin Laden at a fortified compound in urban Pakistan was the surprising manner in which U.S. officials allegedly disposed of his remains. While it is certainly understandable that the Obama administration would want to avoid entombing his dead body, thereby allowing his followers a location which they could turn into a mausoleum for generations of al-Qaeda sympathizers, affording bin Laden a full religious funeral complete with body washing and Arabic rites was a questionable move.






Wrong President Getting Main Credit for Locating bin Laden
 By Aaron I. Reichel, Esq. Full Story
President Obama’s first Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, set the tone for the president’s administration when he said, in an interview November 9, 2008, shortly after the election that brought him to power, “Never allow a crisis to go to waste.” This approach, of course, enabled the Obama administration to take advantage of the economic crisis to create a trillion dollar “stimulus” plan to reward his backers and set back true economic recovery, and to nationalize, to some extent, the banking industry, the auto industry, and health care.

Obama’s ineligibility: Don’t vote Republican until they tell the truth
 By Lawrence Sellin Full Story Fait accompli.
Welcome to America’s post-Constitutional era made possible by the 2008 backroom deals between inside-the-Beltway Democrat and Republican politicians and actively supported by the main stream media (MSM).

Osama is All About Obama
 By Alan Caruba
In the interest of being seen as fair-minded, bipartisan, ecumenical, unbiased, and an all-round decent American, I have been searching my mind for things about America that President Barack Obama likes.

Osama bin Laden, Thankfully Deceased
 By Philip V. Brennan
O.K. He’s dead. Shot twice in his face, his lifeless body was unceremoniously dumped in the sea and fed to the fish like a Mafioso who had somehow offended the bosses.

The Swirl of Conspiracy Theories
 By Alan Caruba
It is testimony to how little Barack Hussein Obama and the government he heads is trusted when one considers the swirl of conspiracy theories that filled the forums on the Internet, the comments attached to articles analyzing the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the general discourse of the chatteratti on radio and television.

The Liberal Party of Canada: RIP
 By Arthur Weinreb
It was an amazing two days. On Sunday, President Barack Obama announced that he had killed Osama bin Laden. And within a mere 30 hours of the demise of the world’s number one terrorist, Michael Ignatieff killed the Liberal Party of Canada, the country’s number one political party.

Al Qaeda’s Next Wave of Terror
 By Daniel Greenfield
The death of Osama bin Laden is important only for its symbolic message, because Bin Laden had long ago ceased to be a figure of any operational importance and become a symbol of the Jihad. As a ‘martyr’ he will be just as useful. Perhaps even more so.
His death is not a period, but an anticlimactic comma in a run on sentence whose full length still remains unclear. For Americans it’s a chance to celebrate the death of the man who became a symbol of Islamic terrorism. For Muslims it means a day of mourning for the death of a new Saladin. No matter how dead he is now, he achieved his goal of becoming a symbol of the Jihad for an Islamic world order. And that Jihad will not be buried in the ground with him.

Canada’s Conservative Majority Trumps Left-Wing Revolution!
 By Judi McLeod
Take heart, America!  The Obama Regime-supported Liberals were not just wiped out in last night’s Canadian federal election, they were routed right off the map.
Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, attacked by Americans like Robert Kennedy Jr. for his “religiosity” made history with a third election victory—and first solid majority.
The Liberals forced back from 77 seats when the writ was dropped to a paltry 34 elected at the time of this writing,  were the hope of President Barack Obama’s former financial advisor Larry Summers,  Samantha Power, wife of Obama czar Cass Sunstein, among others.

The dark and dank places the NDP keep well hidden from Canadians
 By Judi McLeod
Without drawing too fine a point on the Velvet Touch, the bawdy house where then Coun. Jack Layton was taken by surprise during a visit from police, Canada’s New Democrat Party (NDP) has been hanging out in dank and dark places.
The Layton bawdy house incident took place 15 years ago, and Layton, now NDP leader, calls the Toronto Sun dredging back up of the Velvet Touch, a smear. 
But it’s May 2011 and the NDP constitution is the only one not online among the other national mainstream parties running in tomorrow’s election.

U.S. gave $Billions to train, equip foreign police forces: Gov’t report
 By Jim Kouri   --American Politics
This week, the Government Accountability Office submitted a report to the U.S. Congress addressing the foreign aid earmarked for police agencies in nations that deal with terrorism, narcotics trafficking and other criminal activities such as Pakistan. The rationale for such aid is that these terrorists, narco-terrorists and criminal enterprises have an impact on U.S. national security.
Over the past few years, the United States has increased its emphasis on training and equipping foreign police as a means of supporting a wide range of U.S. foreign-policy goals, including countering terrorists overseas and stopping the flow of narcotics to the United States.

U.S. alliance with Pakistan — a flawed, unloving union — remains useful and necessary
 By Bogdan Kipling   --American Politics
Washington — Osama bin Laden is dead, long live the American-Pakistani alliance!
Mine may not be the flavor of the week opinion in liberal circles, let alone among those Republicans and Democrats looking to Fortress America as the only reliable shelter for a nation straining under the load of its hegemony.

New study: Low-salt diet kills
 By Steve Milloy   --American Life
Which is more dangerous: dietary salt or the government’s dietary guidelines? A new study confirms some old truths.

Bin Laden is Dead but His Network Lives
 By Cliff Kincaid   --American Politics
Al-Jazeera’s obituary of Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda, calls him the man “allegedly” behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This odd formulation reflects the channel’s favorable coverage of the 9/11 “truth” movement, which pinned the attacks on the U.S. and/or Israeli governments. But even more significant is the fact that Al-Jazeera was bin Laden’s medium of choice and transmitted his anti-American message to millions of Arabs and Muslims. This is a fact that the network does not want to trumpet, especially because it has tried to soften its image in a drive to get more carriage for its English-language channel on American television cable and satellite systems.

Inside Info Of The Day
 By Bob Parks   --American Politics
Ever stop and think about why the latest media mantra is how courageous President Obama’s decision to go in and take out Osama bin Laden was. We all know offensive action is not in the DNA of a liberal. It turns out, Obama may not have been coaxed but nudged….

Please get this out ASAP. Want specific people to know we know.

Obama Inherited Bush’s OBL Operation
 By Neil Braithwaite   --American Politics
Along with everything else President Obama inherited from George W. Bush that he refuses to take responsibility for, he also happened to inherit the strategy and infrastructure put in place by “W” that culminated in the tracking down and killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Ridin' out the Recession
Invasive Species
 By Dub and Deb   --Riding out the Recession
Good morning guys, and how are you all today? We’d like to thank you for droppin’ in this morning, and we hope everyone is doing fine.
This morning I’d like to talk some on invasive species. If you look at our comment section,  you can see Kunoichi and Bonnie were having a discussion on this topic.

Hot Pickled Green Beans, Green Tomato Pie
 By Dub and Deb   --Home Cooking
You know guys, I had put up a recipe not long back that was a Green Tomato Spice Cake.  I haven’t tried this, but I think it would be really good. But, like Deb says…you call it food, Dub calls it good! Well, in that regard, what can I say, she’s right!
My Mama told me of a Green Tomato Pie, and she and my sister Marie, both said they’d tried one and it was absolutely delicious. So, I asked our readers if any had a recipe for this.

Mexico is far safer than many US cities and PR, but you may want to stay home for political reasons
 By Online   --Vacation Destinations and Resorts
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Don’t let the drug-related violence keep you from travelling to Mexico.  There are plenty more compelling reasons to skip Mexico this year.
The murder of a U.S. immigration agent, the killing of an American jet-skier, and the seemingly constant stream of stories of drug-relating beheadings and kidnappings have led many Americans to believe that violence is rampant throughout Mexico.

Canyonlands National Park, Utah
 By John Treadwell Dunbar   --Travel America
It’s that time of the year, late April when southern Utah’s high desert beckons with a shout and red-rock cliffs streaked black like tar and convoluted canyons and eroded spires demand homage, photographically speaking.
This mind-altering terrain of 377,000 rugged acres 40 miles southwest of Moab cradled between the LaSal, Abajo and Henry Mountains and trisected by the twisting turns of the Colorado and Green rivers defies our paltry imaginations. Up close and personal the land is surprisingly verdant, and its million colorful canyons will forever alter any preconceived notion you might harbor of what a desert is supposed to look like. Brown, flat and perennially parched it is not.

Op-Ed: Actually, we can drill our way to energy security
 By EPW Blog   --Energy - Environment
By Sen. James Inhofe

Government Report: America’s Combined Energy Resources Largest on Earth
In the debate over rising gas prices, Washington is creating a massive distraction: whether Congress should eliminate tax “subsidies” for oil and gas companies. Of course oil and gas companies don’t receive checks, grants, or direct payments from the federal Treasury, so the debate is a red herring. What’s really needed is price relief for consumers at the pump. The best way to do that is to produce more affordable energy here at home.

Hydraulic Fracturing—Is It Safe?
 By Institute for Energy Research   --Energy - Environment
Less than a decade ago, natural gas prices in the United States were among the highest in the world. However, in the last five years, domestic natural gas reserves have grown 30 percent due to technological advances in the use of hydraulic fracturing,[1] a drilling method that is coupled with directional drilling to access underground reservoirs of oil and gas. This technological breakthrough had an immediate impact on natural gas prices, causing them to plummet and remain low to the present time.

CDC in a quandry: Asthma up, but air pollution, smoking down
 By Steve Milloy   --Energy - Environment
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported today that the prevalence and number of persons with asthma have increased since 2001 despite improvements in outdoor air quality, and decreases in cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.

Sacrificial Lamb
 By Ari Bussel   --Middle East
I read a detailed account of the immensely detailed work that went into locating Osama Bin Laden and serving him with a message from the United States of America, a business card that read:  Final Justice Served.
Something, though, cannot escape my mind:  the thought that Bin Laden successfully avoided the most sophisticated tracing system in the world for ten long years.  Time after time he re-emerged from his “cave” with communiqués to the Western World, and despite repeated attempts, was never foiled.  Not until now.


Osama Bin Laden: The Islamic Perversion Of The Wizard Of Oz
 By Joseph A. Klein   --War on Terrorism
Osama Bin Laden turned out in the end to be the Islamic perversion of the Wizard of Oz – a pathetic old man hiding behind a ‘curtain’ of deception – although the evil he perpetrated was no fantasy. Bin Laden was a larger than life hero to Islamists, whom he led and inspired with messages of hate against the infidel West to carry out the 9/11 attacks on the United States and countless other mass-casualty attacks killing innocent men, women and children in the name of Allah.

Bin Laden operation: CIA officers praised for their ‘transgressions?’
 By Jim Kouri   --War on Terrorism
No one expects the denizens of America’s newsrooms to remind Americans that the Obama Administration all but prosecuted those CIA officers who interrogated terrorism suspects—especially now that President Barack Obama and his minions are taking bows for the elimination of Osama bin Laden.

Safer Streets 2011: Doctors probing for guns in the home misses the diagnosis
 By John Longenecker   --Gun Control
I answer doctors who oppose gun violence and I generally have a standard response by now. Since we’re talking about safety at the core of the discussion, it’s fair to say that their editorials and pleadings to reduce gun violence wind up killing the patient, that is, the disarmed community.

Next - Carbon Health Warnings
 By Viv Forbes   --Global Warming - Climategate
We’re told we need a carbon tax to combat dangerous carbon pollution.
The public surely needs health warnings on products contaminated by this dangerous chemical?
