The very first public statement that Abraham Lincoln made after being inaugurated as the sixteenth president was an ironclad defense of slavery:
“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists."

Professor Owens reviewed The Real Lincoln, by Tom DiLorenzo, in The Washington Times on May 4, 2002.
The book review does not withstand reasonable scrutiny.
First, Owens begins by describing the book as “a rehash of Confederate propaganda spiced up with touches of Marxist economic analysis.”
I think that someone has been watching Emeril.
Clearly, however, this is not a neutral or friendly review by Professor Owens.
Ignoring the fact that one might accuse Owens of rehashing Northern propaganda (and spicing it up with touches of mercantilism and John Maynard Keynes), it is both highly amusing and distressing to see Owens accuse Tom DiLorenzo of applying “Marxist economic analysis” to the life of Lincoln."

Almost all Americans know about the United Nations, but few know about Agenda 21, or the US government’s implementation of UN policies.
The UN issued several policies at the 1992 Earth Summit, one of which was the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Compliance with this UN policy is being driven and managed by the Wildlands Network which shares the same goals as the CBD; to set aside half the land in America for animals.

We have an illegal President, a Congress that tolerates criminal acts and an intentionally impotent judiciary Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – Death of the Democratic Party ~ By Lawrence Sellin
"There is now only the most tenuous of threads, if that at all, connecting the American people to the present government. The people are ready to rebel."
The American people will then take out their vengeance on the political establishment and the main stream media. We will demand justice and the truth.
The Democratic Party will collapse and its leaders will be tried and sent to prison. Many Republicans will follow them.
A new political movement will be required to drain the cesspool that is now Washington, D.C.
No more socialism, multiculturalism and political correctness. No more big government and open borders. No more pandering to special interests. No more corruption. No more lies. No more spin.
It is time to put an end to the permanent political class. Obama’s coming downfall will expose the entire crooked system.
Members of Congress have proven themselves to be complicit in the fraud and cover-up.
They must be replaced with patriotic Americans who will stand up for the Constitution, respect their oaths of office and represent the interests of the people.
Obama threatened: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”
I say: “go ahead, make my day.”

"The majority of people feel upset and lonely when they are deprived of access to the internet, according to consumer research.
A new study has revealed that 53 per cent feel upset when denied access and 40 per cent feel lonely if they are unable to go online.
The research found that people experience these feelings even if denied online access for a short time.
The scientists reported the volunteers told of physiological and physical symptoms comparable to addicts trying to quit smoking or drugs. These included feeling fidgety, anxious and isolated, and even reaching out for their mobile phone, which was no longer there. Some of those taking part in the experiment - called Unplugged - said they felt like they were undergoing 'cold turkey' to break a hard drug habit, while others said it felt like going on a diet.

Speaker Boehner: GOP Will Deny President Obama a $2.4 Trillion Blank Check:
"Today, House Republican leaders will discuss with lawmakers a new framework designed to prevent a national default while ensuring any debt limit increase granted to President Obama includes spending reforms and cuts that exceed the debt limit hike.
This common-sense plan is aimed at stopping President Obama’s indefensible quest for a debt limit increase that would run past the next election without a process in place to ensure spending is being cut as the debt ceiling is being raised. As Speaker Boehner said yesterday on FOX News Sunday: “I know the president’s worried about his next election. But my God, shouldn’t we be worried about the country?”
President Obama desperately wants a large debt limit increase that will take him past the next presidential election.

Mystery prisoner has Utah jail authorities stumped
Mystery prisoner has Utah jail authorities stumped:
"- A mystery man arrested on minor charges more than three weeks ago remains behind bars in Utah while law enforcement officials try to determine his true identity, which he refuses to reveal.
'This is really a strange case,' said Lt. Dennis Harris with the Utah County Sheriff's Office. 'He just doesn't want to be found.'
The unidentified man, who has graying hair, a light beard and is believed to be in his 60's, was arrested on July 1 for trespassing in a parking garage.
He was booked into jail on three misdemeanor charges and has thwarted any chance of release, with or without bail, by refusing to identify himself.

July 25, 2011 Gunny G Edit Leave a comment Go to comments
President Obama continues to push the notion that he wants a “balanced approach” to budget cuts, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the only spending cuts he is willing to contemplate are cuts in defense spending. The vast entitlement system that now eats the majority of tax dollars is, by contrast, not only on his list of programs to be sustained, but expanded. Mr. Obama seems determined to protect the welfare state.
He lacks the courage and the candor to admit to the unsustainablity of an entitlement system which has pushed the nation to the brink of insolvency as our debts continue to mount. Instead of addressing the source of the spending problems, it is becoming clear that Mr. Obama intends to hollow out the military.
What folly!"

The question people ask time and again is, “Why is the movie business dominated by liberals?” Some critics (chiefly bloggers James Hirsen and Andrew Breitbart, and now Ben Shapiro in his new book) think it’s a conspiracy.
I don’t agree. I think this town cleaves to the Left for social, not political reasons.

Why do Jews still support Obama?
Why do Jews still support Obama?:
"I’ve been puzzled ever since Obama first started campaigning for president. Why do Jews support him? It cannot be their love for learning influenced by his great grades in any of his colleges.
He has refused to disclose them. So it’s, Oh! Who cares about them? “He had to do well to become editor and chief of the Harvard Law Review,” they chirp. Actually, he was the president of the HLR, and he was appointed to that position. It couldn’t be because of his great record in the Illinois Senate. He never initiated a bill and merely voted a majority of times “present.” It couldn’t be because of his support for Israel throughout the years.

"I’ve been puzzled ever since Obama first started campaigning for president. Why do Jews support him? It cannot be their love for learning influenced by his great grades in any of his colleges.
He has refused to disclose them. So it’s, Oh! Who cares about them? “He had to do well to become editor and chief of the Harvard Law Review,” they chirp. Actually, he was the president of the HLR, and he was appointed to that position. It couldn’t be because of his great record in the Illinois Senate. He never initiated a bill and merely voted a majority of times “present.” It couldn’t be because of his support for Israel throughout the years.

The outrages just keep coming from Washington…
WASHINGTON — Debt ceiling negotiators think they’ve hit on a solution to address the debt ceiling impasse and the public’s unwillingness to let go of benefits such as Medicare and Social Security that have been earned over a lifetime of work: Create a new Congress.
This “Super Congress,” composed of members of both chambers and both parties, isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, but would be granted extraordinary new powers. Under a plan put forth by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his counterpart Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation to lift the debt ceiling would be accompanied by the creation of a 12-member panel made up of 12 lawmakers — six from each chamber and six from each party.
“Super Congress”?
I seem to remember that"

America’s Rising Stress Level| The Post & Email: "THE CLINICAL DEFINITION OF STRESS:
“Stress is a term in psychology and biology, first coined in the biological context in the 1930s, which has in more recent decades become a commonplace of popular parlance. It refers to the consequence of the failure of an organism – human or animal – to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined. Stress symptoms commonly include a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion, as well as irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physiological reactions such as headache and elevated heart rate. (from Wikipedia) Hmmmmm!
A MORE COLLOQUIAL DEFINITION OF STRESS! “Stress is the confusion created when one’s mind overrides the body’s basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some idiot, who desperately deserves it.” (From a Wet Willies “gag” card, with a few revisions to clean it up.) Now that’s more like it!"

First came the Biden talks. When those blew up, the Obama-Boehner talks took center stage. And when that failed, the McConnell-Reid talks looked promising. And after they faltered, the Obama-Boehner talks tried to find a new life.

72-Year-Old Ex-Marine Runs Down, Kills Armed Man Who Robbed His Business
72-Year-Old Ex-Marine Runs Down, Kills Armed Man Who Robbed His Business:
"A man who robbed a 72-year-old Texas business owner at gunpoint is dead after the owner, a former Marine, jumped in his car and chased after him, ramming him against a metal fence.
http://i26.tinypic.com/2a5gur.gif
According to the Houston Chronicle, a tall man forced his way into Kenneth Kobobel, Sr.’s office Friday morning where Kobobel had been chatting with his brother. He put a 9mm handgun to Kobobel’s head, demanded money from them and screamed “You’re dead!”
He emptied the contents of the brother’s wallet and Kobobel handed him $20. Not satisfied with the amount, Kobobel said the man patted him down and upon finding a wad of bills totaling $800 yelled, “You lied to me! You’re dead!”
Kobobel said robber struck him on the head with the barrel of the gun and ran off, warning them to wait before calling 911.
Once he left, Kobobel called 911 and went outside, asking neighbors if they had seen which way he went. He then got into his car and sped off in pursuit.
Kobobel’s son, Kenneth Kobobel, Jr., who pulled up just as his father was leaving, said he wasn’t surprised his father went after the robber.
“He’s an ex-Marine,” he told the Chronicle. “He doesn’t put up with a whole lot of nothing.”

ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHAMELESSLY AVERT THEIR EYES TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS BROUGHT ON BY THE IMPOSTOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE
ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHAMELESSLY AVERT THEIR EYES TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS BROUGHT ON BY THE IMPOSTOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE
July 24, 2011
Rep. Bill Cassidy is a medical doctor and professor of medicine at Louisiana State University
Congressman Bill Cassidy
1535 Longworth HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Congressman Cassidy:
Enclosed is an article by Gary Stevens entitled: “The Coup d’etat on January 21, 2009: And Why Does Congress Stand By And Do Nothing?” You need to read and re-read until the reality of what is happening to our beloved country sinks in. Mr. Cassidy, I am growing increasingly angry at you and your cohorts on the Hill who have decided that Barack H. Obama is above the law.
The executive order #13489, signed into law not a day into his illegal presidency, uses the following language in the first sentence: “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America.” With the stroke of a pen, this usurping, lying, dishonest man sealed all of his records.
Why? And he invokes the Constitution? You’ve got to be kidding me. How can this charlatan cite the Constitution for this while completely ignoring Article II, Section 1, Clause 5? Pretty brazen, don’t you think?
I cannot imagine what was said or done to silence every single Republican in the House and Senate on the issue of the usurper’s eligibility. According to Minor v. Hapersett, two U.S. citizen parents are necessary for offspring to be considered natural-born.
Whatever misinformation the Congressional Research Service has disseminated cannot alter the fact that this case has never been superseded or overturned. Apparently the Congress realized this precedent was binding or why else would it be necessary to attempt to change the definition of natural-born Citizen numerous times between 2003 and 2008? None of the eight attempts were successful.

Anders Breivik: ‘My beloved Oslo has become a multicultural ****hole’
Police sources tell TV2 Mr Breivik uploaded an English-language video to YouTube just hours before the bomb went off. In the over 12-minute video, which the broadcaster calls ‘mainly anti-Marxist and anti-Islamic propaganda’, (readers will have to register with YouTube to watch the video) he calls for a war against both, and compares himself with a knight. Mr Breivik used to be a member of the 'Knights Templar', today an order within the Masonic Movement, has been excluded from the Masonic Order.
Mr Breivik also published a 1,517-page manifest the same day as the attacks, where he alleges Oslo Muslims have assaulted, threatened, or tried to rob him ‘just’ eight times between 15 and 21 years old.
Claiming the first was when some Pakistanis tried to rob him at a concert, this was only averted because, “luckily, I knew one the members of the hard-core Pakistani A-gang, who said I was under his protection.”
Mr Breivik alleges teargas made his attacker think twice during another attempted assualt.
“I always have it with me when I am out late,” he writes.
In the manifest, he also claims his friends have been seriously attacked, and on one occasion raped, mourning over the fact that “they have transformed my beloved Oslo into a multicultural shithole.”
“Our majorcitieswillbedestroyedas long as multiculturalism is allowed tobe theprevailingideology.”
Regarding Friday’s attacks, Mr Breivik writes he began planning them nine years ago. He was an active member of the Far-Right Progress Party’s youth movement (FpU) at the time.
The document also reveals he lead a double life and spent 80 days preparing the bomb. Using anabolic steroids in the weeks and months prior to the attacks, he increased his weight from 86 to 93 kilos over a six-week period.
“I have never been stronger than I am today,” he wrote.
Moreover, Mr Breivik took a mixture of ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin as a stimulant to raise his stamina.
In the 1,500-page detailed account of his political leanings, attacks, type of equipment and choice of targets, he states, “We must convinceourenemiesthatthere is no hiding place. We shall come after every one ofthem, if not todaythentomorrow, or in 10, 30 or 50years.Wewillneverforgetwhatthey have done and whatthey continue to do. Itis ourresponsibility to stop it.”
The attacks have left 92 people dead so far, 85 on Utøya and 7 in Oslo. At today’s press conference, police confirm there are still dead bodies lying in the government headquarter ruins. 97 people have also been injured, 10 of them seriously.

The Left-Leaning Tower
The Left-Leaning Tower:
"Why are conservatives such a minority at so many graduate schools? Conservatives like to blame liberal bias. Liberals like other explanations.
One — the most tactful hypothesis — is that conservatives just aren’t interested in academic careers. Another — the most smug hypothesis — is that conservatives are just too close-minded and dimwitted.
Now, fortunately, we have something beyond hypotheses, courtesy of scholars who have been taking a close look at their colleagues. Some even conducted a small sting operation that they believe is the first field experiment on political bias in academia. The perpetrators include Neil Gross, a professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia, whose previous work showed that Democrats outnumber Republicans by about 4 to 1 among professors, by at least 6 to 1 at elite universities, and by still higher ratios in departments of the humanities and social sciences.

I am told that Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Jeb Hensarling (the 2, 3, and 4 GOP leaders in the House) have all made it clear to Boehner they will not accept a deal that increases tax revenues by $800 billion.
If Boehner strikes such a deal with the President, he could lose more than 100 Republican votes in the House. It could ultimately cost him his Speakership. But it may be the only possible way to both avoid default and address the underlying debt crisis.
