Obama ally says torture probe could have prompted CIA 'revolt'
Obama ally says torture probe could have prompted CIA 'revolt':
In a series of clarifying statements, Edley confirmed he'd used the word "revolt" but said he obviously hadn't meant it literally. "I'm quite sure that every law student in the audience knew that when I said 'revolt' I was talking about bureaucratic obstreperousness, being hyperbolic," he said. "The point was that some advisers thought, and I credit their expertise, that some in the intelligence and military communities would react to aggressive investigations and prosecutions with a mixture of demoralizing resentment and anger, with possible consequences for their mission."
Some in the same communities might also have been a bit nervous about possible scrutiny of their own roles in waterboarding suspected terrorists or wiretapping without a warrant. If so, they needn't have worried, ...

Krauthammer: Obama is no Harry Truman (Video)
Krauthammer: Obama is no Harry Truman (Video):
By now, one would think that Charles Krauthammer’s analysis of Barack Obama on “Inside Washington” would hardly generate controversy. Krauthammer calls him a “mortal who is in over his head,” a rather obvious conclusion, especially given the regurgitation of the Porkulus bill Obama delivered to a joint session of Congress as though it were some change in direction from Obamanomics. Krauthammer points out the lack of experience Obama had in any kind of executive position prior to his election as President, which isn’t even analysis — it’s a recitation of plain facts. Of course, for the Washington Post’s Colby King, facts equal blind hatred, or something.
In this clip from the Daily Caller, Krauthammer points out all of these facts to argue against the notion that a Trumanesque run against a “do-nothing Congress” would have any hope of success in 2012 for Obama.................

Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife.
A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??................

Barney Frank’s Gutter Language and Penchant for Mob Violence Surfaces Again
Barney Frank’s Gutter Language and Penchant for Mob Violence Surfaces Again:
One of Congress’ least appealing figures, the morals-and-scruples challenged Barney Frank, (D-MA) and reigning People’s Director of Sleaze in absentia from the Halls of Hades, is back in the news once again with his usual tirade against Republicans; as if the Democrats had all the correct answers for our national problems. Or ANY!
The current case of Frank’s fulmination against the Congressional Republicans stems from the officially called Bank-reform Act more commonly known as Dodd-Frank and as John Ransom of Townline Finance Daily on September 03, 2011 states, “can be called a lot of things, but it’s the furthest away from bank-reform that legislation can get. Dodd-Frank will accomplish a lot of things too, but few of them will be good for America.”
Ransom states that “The prime GOP demand is that Congress gut Frank’s perverted bank-reform bill known as Dodd-Frank.” Ramson further quotes Stephen Lewis, Chief Economist at Monument Securities in London “it is already seen to be failing as a means of preventing the revival of market practices that led to the 2007-08 crisis.”
Ransom also quotes Ted Price of Canada’s Office of Financial Institutions as saying, “I think we have seen this movie before but the amazing thing is we continue to expect a different ending.”.......................

Michael Cutler -- Obama Poised to Close Nine Border Patrol Stations
Michael Cutler -- Obama Poised to Close Nine Border Patrol Stations:
Clearly the administration is determined to make it increasingly difficult for our Border Patrol agents to carry out their duties to secure our nation's borders. The efforts of the valiant Border Patrol agents is also, of course, being undermined by the policy statements issued by the President and members of the administration to terminate removal (deportation) hearings involving hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and providing employment authorization to many of those illegal aliens.
These decisions amount to the firing of a starter's pistol along our nation's borders to encourage many more aliens to run our borders and head to cities across this nation, from coast to coast and border to border!
Meanwhile yesterday, the President went before an unusual joint session of Congress that, as the reporters noted, resembled a State of the Union Address to advocate the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars to.............................

The Right to Liberty and the Obligation Incurred| The Post & Email
The Right to Liberty and the Obligation Incurred| The Post & Email:
Rights are conferred, not by man, but by God. Our Founders and Framers recognized that in our Declaration of Independence. What our Founders understood (in the social milieu of the 18th century) was the relationship of rights and obligations. A person, tribe, state or nation cannot have or recognize and exalt the former without the existence of the latter. For every gift from God comes an attendant obligation.
In this instance, we look at the right to Liberty, the second right enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. By endowing us with the right to Liberty, God laid the obligation to honor and support that self-same right in every other person. To constrain our activities when they would impinge on another person’s Liberty, and to support the struggle for Liberty (cf. Thomas Jefferson’s quote on the tree of Liberty).
A nation, state, tribe or any other definition of a group of individuals cannot legislate a right, only recognize a right conferred by God. And the test to see if something is a right is to validate that it is applicable to all and that there is an attendant obligation that likewise is applicable to all. Not an advantage to a special group or subset of the whole, but to all........................................................

The Real Reason Obama Fears 9-11 Is Scientific (Exposure to the American flag boosts Republicans.)
The Real Reason Obama Fears 9-11 Is Scientific (Exposure to the American flag boosts Republicans.):
Just a brief exposure to an image of the American flag shifts voters, even Democrats, to Republican beliefs, attitudes and voting behavior even though most don’t believe it will impact their politics, according to a new two-year study just published in the scholarly Psychological Science.
What’s more, according to three authors from the University Chicago, Cornell University and Hebrew University, the impact had staying power.
“A single exposure to an American flag resulted in a significant increase in participants’ Republican voting intentions, voting behavior, political beliefs, and implicit and explicit attitudes, with some effects lasting 8 months,” the study found. “These results constitute the first evidence that nonconscious priming effects from exposure to a national flag can bias the citizenry toward one political party and can have considerable durability.”

Krauthammer: People finally realizing Obama ‘is a mortal who is in over his head’:
As President Barack Obama’s approval rating reaches new lows with seemingly every tracking poll, the question of how he is going to win re-election is a high priority for the president and his administration. However, based on Thursday night’s address to a joint session of Congress, it appears Obama could be attempting to mimic former President Harry Truman’s 1948 campaign against a “do-nothing Congress.”
But on this weekend’s broadcast of “Inside Washington,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer was doubtful that would be an effective strategy because the so-called independents that voted for him in 2008 are realizing he isn’t all that he was marketed to be.

The President Who Hates His Country By: Joan Joan Swirsky � ~ BLOGGER.GUNNY.G.1984 ~ (BLOG & EMAIL):
Until now
Bizarre and, yes, repugnant as it is to our essentially centrist country, America now has a president who has broken that time-honored tradition. Barack Obama, on the campaign trail and as the leader of the free world is the first U.S. president to proclaim to anyone within earshot that he, like his wife, is not proud of his country, and is all-too-willing to offer serial apologies – for America! – to Americans and foreigners alike.
As Ed Lasky writes: “We know that during the campaign [Obama] warned that criticism of his wife was `off-limits’. But criticism of America – well, that is fine.”
We also know that during his run for the presidency, Obama expressed sneering condescension towards all those bible-clasping, gun-owning yahoos who “cling” to those silly things, and that in Europe he consistently gave voice to America’s supposed “sins.”
But all that pales in comparison to the clear contempt – looks more like hatred to me – that Obama feels for the United States of America and for its most revered founding document, the U.S. Constitution..................

"Everybody, my kids included, has been writing, 'What was he saying to you?'" Paul said to his supporters.
He told the group that a Des Moines Register reporter called to ask him the same thing. He said he told reporter, "'Well, I'll tell you what, What he was saying to me I cannot repeat.' And he said, 'What? What?' I said, 'I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding!'"
The truth, Paul said, is, "I don't even recall the moment and I don't remember exactly what he said. But we didn't have any cross words."
At least not during the break. He noted "the most challenging words" were said on stage during the debate.

Report: Veterans Cemetery Was Used As Private Dump
Report: Veterans Cemetery Was Used As Private Dump:
MADISON, Wis. -- A maintenance supervisor at one of the most pristine veterans cemeteries in the country used the grounds as his private dump, burying everything from cans of paint thinner to television sets, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The cost to clean up the mess is already twice what state officials first estimated and growing.
State Department of Administration officials say the company contracted to clean up the garbage has submitted $37,000 in bills, with more likely to come. That's more than double the $18,000 the state Department of Veterans Affairs estimated the effort would cost. Meanwhile, veterans are seething that a state worker would disgrace a cemetery that federal officials have designated as a national shrine.

Owners Angry After Cops Shoot Dog in Backyard
Owners Angry After Cops Shoot Dog in Backyard:
But Samuelson's neighbor, Fernando Perez, said he told the cops several times that Ozzy was roaming in the back.
When the security alarm system at the home went off, Samuelson called Perez to check it out while she made the 20-minute drive to her house, he said. Perez said he knew not to go into the backyard because of the dog and when officers arrived, he warned them.
"'Be careful. It’s a big dog,' I told them. They told me to go back to my house," said Perez, who repeated the warning several more times. "Before I get to my driveway, I hear the two shots. They walked into the backyard with the guns in their hand. Then they ran from the backyard like they were scared or something."
Samuelson said she got Ozzy to protect the house and deter thieves. Police have not said what triggered the alarm.
"He was our protector," Samuelson said. "He’s a huge part of our family."

A family remembers: Hero of 9/11 gave life to save thousands
A family remembers:
Hero of 9/11 gave life to save thousands:
Rescorla , a 62-year-old retired and decorated U.S. Army colonel, had focused on security at the World Trade Center for years. Prior to the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, and while he was working in security for Dean Witter, he had approached the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey about security vulnerabilities in the WTC's garage. He was told to focus only on his companies' floors, according to biographer James Stewart. He did that. But, along with Dan Hill, a military buddy of his, he didn't stop thinking about security weaknesses and terrorism.
After a company merger in 1997, Rescorla became director of security at Morgan Stanley, where he maintained vigilant attention to the firm's -- and the building's -- safety. Despite disruption at the busy brokerage firm, he insisted on holding twice-yearly evacuation drills by the stairwell for the firm's 22 floors in the south tower.
The result: On Sept. 11, 2001, his team was ready...................
