Who do you believe in this Mexican standoff of crazy?

From The Orange County Register:

A man claiming to have been Barack Obama’s homosexual lover and another claiming to have Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate say Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz asked them to lie in federal court.

To be more accurate, Taitz is an "attorney/real estate agent/dentist." And you know someone is crazy when a man who claims to have done cocaine and had sex with Obama in a limo, and a man who claims to have a document that even Jerome "The Earth Produces Its Own Oil" Corsi says is a blatant fake, say she's too nutty for them.

Lucas Smith, who claims to have bribed Kenyan officials to get Barack Obama's real birth certificate, states in an affadavit that after he stepped into oncoming traffic and was nearly hit, Taitz instructed him to tell a federal judge there had been an attempt on his life.

Larry Sinclair, who claims to have had sex with Obama in a limo and that the then-Illinois senator had another gay lover assassinated before the Iowa caucuses, says Taitz instructed him to testify that Obama had three members of his church killed to cover up his supposed Kenyan roots.

Something tells me Orly is about three weeks away from claiming Obama is using satellites to track her through her fillings.

Hold on. She performs fillings...

Oh. My.

Will this entire affair end with Orly Taitz suing herself, claiming she's conspiring against Orly Taitz?

CNN covers the Gallup poll story...in classic CNN fashion.

After weeks of obsessive coverage of independent voters and assertions the Tea Parties, NY-23 and opposition to health care "reform" would drive them away from Republicans, CNN very briefly covers the new Gallup poll showing Republicans now lead in their generic ballot for Congress.

Wolf Blitzer made sure to always cast it as a "narrow," "within the margin of error" lead by GOP. Not one mention of how it was fueled by a 22 point lead by Republicans among independent voters, or how that independent voter lead has exploded from a 43% to 42% virtual tie in July when the recess protests and health care debate started.

Americans want limited government. No wonder the only thing dropping faster than Democrat approval is CNN's ratings.

Remember what Dems were saying about Tea Parties, opposition to government health care and NY-23 driving away independents?

Ooops.



And this is from Gallup, whose sample selects traditionally favor Democrats.

One attack on troops earns condemnation, another earns a handshake?

A caller to Rush Limbaugh's radio program today brings up an interesting point.

Barack Obama condemns Nidal Hasan's shooting spree at Fort Hood, but what distinguishes him from Bill Ayers?

Ayers bombed New York City police headquarters, the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, and told the New York Times in 2001 "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough," before going on to host fundraisers for Obama.

Last WWI veteran shares his story.

Corporal Buckles is still alive, and fighting for a national World War I memorial.

Wow. Democrats continue to defend Hasan and cast HIM as the victim

In a Washington Post article titled "Fort Hood suspect warned of threats within the ranks - Cited stress facing Muslims" Fort Hood murderer Nidal Hasan is quoted as accusing the United States military of targeting Muslims for warfare and Muslimn who volunteered to serve should be relieved of duty.

The article, and later President Obama, blamed the "stress" of war against Islamic extremists for the killings.

Democrats have seized on the article as more proof that the evil military, and not Hasan, is to blame for the massacre.

Here's a wacky notion. No one is responsible except Hasan himself. Of course, that violates a core tenet of liberalism -- that the only people who could ever be responsible for a crime are my political opponents.

"if all this is true, then the Army is looking to take bigger and bigger shares of the blame"

"His position is not right or left wing. It's common sense."

"and lots of people on the far right warned about adverse events, too" (warning that people with opinions different than his must be watched because they're going to kill, too)

"common sense says that it is hard for people to justify to themselves going off to kill innocent people"

"why do you think it is a "good" thing to "fight for your country" in Iraq where our soldiers are simply fighting for oil"

"I was stationed at fort hood. there were shootings all the time that you never heard about" (The info is probably stored on the same computer Cynthia McKinney talked about where the names of the people Bush executed in New Orleans is stored.)

Naval Academy removes World Series color guard members for diversity

Academy leaders, on their official Web site, call diversity "our highest personnel priority."

Why not just recruit people who will do the best job of defending the Constitution and give the color guard honor to the cadets who drill the best? If it's all white males, who cares? If it's all black females and no white cadets qualify, who cares?

And if that doesn't make you wonder what is happening to the military, some Army recruits who do well in training are treated to pizza parties.

Pizza parties. Like the ones you had in kindergarten. For people who are supposed to be getting prepared for the harsh realities of war.

Democrats: Hasan the real victim in Ft. Hood shootings

I've often said one of the central tenets of liberalism is "The only people responsible for a crime are my political opponents." This Democrat Underground threat "Hasan Felt U.S. Waged 'War Against Islam'" is one good example.

Rather than pin responsibility for the Fort Hood shooting on Hasan for being a nut, nearly all the posters to this thread blame Christianity, Bush policies and Islam -- to the point where many even claim Hasan is the victim here.

It's a deadly mode of thinking, both for the victims of crimes like this and the people liberals want to target for persecution. Pay close attention to liberal commentary. You'll notice an unhealthy obsession with using the government to imprison people for having differing political opinions.

WHAT DO DEMOCRATS THINK ABOUT HASAN'S CLAIM THE US IS WAGNG A "WAR AGAINST ISLAM?"

"On this, he is correct. nt"

"Sadly, there has been Christian crusading in the US military that could give the wrong impression."

"No, it's a war for oil"

"plenty of American muslims will die in retaliation at the hands of ignorant yahoos"

"Then he joined an organized group whose ultimate mission is violence... the military. On top of it, he joined an organized group who sanctions violence to further their aims... a religion."

"A reasonable conclusion if he watched Fox News."

"This man is a citizen and this is his country. And he joined the military BEFORE the anti-Islamic bigotry was full on."

"Remember Rumsfeld's Crusade?"

"He really did a lot to stem the fears of the other nut-jobs this country possesses. (sarcasm)"

ObamaCare in action: 10 months and waiting to treat a badly broken arm

Want to know what health care in America will look like once we achieve Barack Obama's stated goal of moving all Americans to government-controlled health care?

Well, take one look at Torron Eeles' arm.

This is what the "public option" looks like.

The English plumber broke his arm 10 months ago in a fall down the stairs. Under Britain's National Health Service, whose model Democrats want to emulate, his badly-needed operation has been canceled four times.

Eeles cannot sleep, or work. His is now in danger of losing his home to foreclosure.

One cancellation for was a legitimate reason -- his blood pressure was too high. But two cancellations have been because of a lack of beds. Since Britain provides "free" health care for all, many people are using the system for free vacations, claiming to be ill so they can take time off and relax in a taxpayer-provided hospital bed.

His surgery was canceled another time because he smokes. Doctors in Britain often refuse to treat smokers or the obese. Under government-controlled health care, like Democrats propose, care must be rationed, moving the elderly and those who make choices the government doesn't approve of to be back of the line.

Eeles has waited so long for universal health care to fix his arm, the bones have actually knitted back together in mangled angles.

Long waits for necessary care are common under government-controlled health care. One reason why death rates from cancer in nations with so-called "universal" coverage are three to four, sometimes five, times higher than in the United States is because patients have to wait so long to have treatable cancer addressed, the cancer becomes incurable by the time care is available.

Fun with liberal rage: Democrat Reaction Bingo

I created these back on Monday and meant to download them then. Not to worry, though. There's still plenty of liberal rage directed at the American people, but much of it is tempered by the fact most liberals refuse to accept the fact they lost.

This is what Democrats have been reduced to?

Democrats are actually trying to claim last night's elections were a mandate for further expansion of the government, pointing to a victory by a Democrat in a special election for California's "historically Republican" 10th Congressional District.

What they leave out is the fact this "historically Republican" district was redrawn years ago to give it a double-digit Democrats advantage and their nominee was the state's Lieutenant Governor, John Garamendi, who outspent his combined opposition three-to-one. It's been held by a Democrat since 1996.

"Democrats hold an 18-point advantage in voter registration in the district, [outgoing Democrat Congresswoman Ellen] Tauscher won her last four races with at least 65 percent of the vote and Garamendi has been on the ballot several times in the East Bay over his three-decade-long political career," the San Francisco Chronicle reports this morning.

Despite the 18-point Democrat advantage, a three-to-one funds advantage and being "on the ballot several times in the East Bay over his three-decade-long political career," Garamendi won by just 10 points.

Speaking of Loudoun Democrats...

I just ran the numbers for election day voting in Virginia's House District 86. Stevens Miller can't blame Creigh Deeds for dragging down his vote total. Deeds got a higher share of the election day vote in HD 86.

Yes, Stevens Miller, who publicly claimed he is the only Loudoun supervisor who isn't a racist, was described as "selfish and cruel" by a fellow Board Democrat, called Sterling residents "bigots," "gangrene" and "cancer" for telling him they were afraid of street gangs and voted against funding for a war memorial because the fake gun scared him, found a way to do even worse than Creigh Deeds.

Loudoun Democrats issue shameful election eve conspiracy e-mail

You don't have to have a crippling mental illness to be a Loudoun Democrat, but apparently it helps.

Loudoun Dem Chairman Tim Buchholz issued an utterly insane e-mail Monday calling Republican Attorney General nominee Ken Cuccinelli a "tea bagger" (an anti-gay slur) and forwarding a rambling diatribe from a Fairfax Democrat claiming Cuccinelli plans to resegregate schools and outlaw interracial marriage.

I'm not joking.

It really said that.

Their proof?

She saw a "Don't Tread On Me" flag next to a Confederate flag on the side of the road in a completely different part of the state.

No political signs, stickers or statements from anyone were anywhere near it.

She then goes on to say "these two flags that predominate at gun shows, along with the Nazi flag" and that Cuccinelli will repeal all gun laws.

Why?

Because the Nazis opposed gun control.

Yep, not only did the Nazis go back in time to reverse their avid support of gun control, a position they shared with Loudoun Democrats until they apparently acquired a DeLorean and a Mr. Fusion, but if you see two flags together with no inference to any candidate, you can slap on the flubber and take a gargantuan leap to conclude it's clear and irrefutable proof of a secret conspiracy being hatched by your enemies.

Prior to this absolutely LaRouchian e-mail, Buchholz was best known for comparing Loudoun sheriff's deputies to Gestapo agents and circling the parking lot outside Republican fundraisers watching the women who entered.

If paranoia and delusion are art, this is his "Guernica."

The text of the e-mail follows:

November 2, 2009
Greetings!


The following was written by Lu Ann McNabb who is on the Sully Democratic Committee in Fairfax. I think it brings Sen. Cuccinelli and his tea bagger friends into historic prespective. Read and then click here to forward to all of your VA friends.

On Tuesday, vote for Steve Shannon over this extremist.


Sincerely,

Tim Buchholz
Chairman
Loudoun County Democratic Committee

____________________________________________


Yesterday, my husband and I drove to Charlottesville to watch UVA succumb to
Duke but that's another story. On Route 29, we passed a flagpole with the
"Don't Tread On Me" flag flying with the Confederate flag. As many of you
know, State Senator Ken Cuccinelli has adopted "Don't Tread On Me" as his
motto. But those two flags together symbolize Virginia's shameful past- one
of bigotry and intolerance. I can appreciate Mr. Cuccinelli's defiance
against the federal government by stating he will fight for state's rights,
but let us remember that it was the federal National Guard who protected the
black students walking in to schools and universities from angry, screaming
crowds. It was the federal Supreme Court who declared segregated schools as
unconstitutional and the federal Justice Department that denied tax
exemptions to churches who only allowed white children to attend their
classes. It was also the federal Supreme Court that overturned Virginia's
law disallowing mixed couples to marry. And it was the Congress that gave
African-American citizens the right to sit anywhere and have full voting
rights.

Let us not forget what the Confederate flag stood for - and I say this as a
great-great-great granddaughter of a Confederate who fought in the Alabama
regiment and whose cousin owns his musket and sword. And let us be wary of
these two flags that predominate at gun shows, along with the Nazi flag,
representing a belief that we should not enact commonsense gun laws because
for some reason background checks interferes with one's freedom to own a
gun. At the same time, these flags reflect a belief that supports
governmental interference in the most personal decisions one can make.

More importantly, the pairings of those two flags symbolizes to me what is
at stake in this election-whether we remain a moderate state with elected
officials who will solve problems or return to a state with a worldview that
we abandoned a long time ago.

Facing defeat, Post rewrites history of McDonnell thesis attacks

The Washington Post has spent the last two months hoping to relive the attention it grabbed in 2006 when its relentless coverage of comment by Senator George Allen cost him the election. Continuing its tradition of trying to swing Virginia elections to Democrats, the Post's news page launched a relentless attack on Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell, using every story on Virginia's statewide elections to draws voters' attention to a college thesis McDonnell wrote two decades ago expressing evangelical Christian views.

The Post first "reported" on the story Aug. 30, writing:

"(t)he Washington Post learned of the thesis in a recent interview with McDonnell, who mentioned it in answering a question about his political roots."

More stories followed. A lot more stories. A search of the Post's website finds at least 154 stories, article and editorials mentioning the issue in just the last eight weeks.

The Post continued to hammer the story on a near-daily basis, even going so far as to claim its coverage of the story was responsible for a short-lived spike in support for Democrat nominee State Senator Creigh Deeds. The fact less than one percent of voters in the Post's own survey considered it the top issue didn't stop the paper from using a self-conducted survey on its own story as an excuse to write another story.

Keep all that in mind. 154 different stories, articles and editorials about the thesis, including a poll that showed it wasn't an issue but was nevertheless reported as such. Looks like someone is working really hard to "publicize" something.

Well, the Post still sticks to its unofficial rule of making sure to mention "the thesis" in every story. But with polls opening in a few hours and Deeds facing a crushing defeat, the Post now reports the history of the "thesis issue" like this:

And Deeds's efforts to paint McDonnell as a radical conservative by publicizing the Republican's 20-year-old graduate school thesis, which criticized working women, single mothers and homosexuals, appears to have backfired -- most likely voters find Deeds too negative, according to polls.

After two month and 154 often self-congratulatory stories published on the issue, the Post suddenly makes absolutely no mention whatsoever of its own involvement. The Post now claims it was Deeds who publicized the thesis, not the Post itself.

Not one mention of the fact it was the Post that first found the publicly-available thesis, not the Deeds campaign, or the fact any mentions of the thesis in Deeds ads were composed almost entirely of quotes from endless Post stories on the issue.

An important lesson learned for Virginia Democrats. The Washington Post is more than happy to turn its news pages into your campaign's talking point memos and sacrifice its credibility to throw elections, but you'd better win or else they'll turn their pens on you.

Planned Parenthood official resigns after watching abortion, PP sues

Planned Parenthood pressures Abby Johnson, the director of its Bryan, Texas clinic, to boost their bottom line by spending less time promoting pregnancy prevention and more time "getting more abortions in the door." She wavers, finally resigns after watching an ultrasound of an abortion being performed. begins working with the Coalition for Life. I was at A&M back when the clinic opened, and remember the folks who got CFL started.

Planned Parenthood sues Johnson to stop her from disclosing the fact they are actively trying to cut back on pregnancy prevention and focusing more on increasing the number of abortions they perform. Classy.

No wonder most women now say they consider themselves to be pro-life.

Clinton: We tax everything that moves and doesn’t move

What brings a nation from the Third World to the First World? Economic opportunity? Personal prosperity? Greater ownership of private property?

If you ask Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it's confiscatory tax rates.

"We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan," Clinton told senior Pakistani newspaper editors, London's Daily Times reported Friday.

Speaking with editors about the fast-growing nation's economic challenges, Clinton knocked the Pakistani government for not taxing its people more heavily.

"Pakistan has to have internal investment in your public services and your business opportunities," said Clinton, suggesting government, and not entrepreneurship, best provides business opportunities.

"The percentage of taxes on GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world...You do have 180 million people. Your population is projected to be about 300 million. And I don’t know what you’re going to do with that kind of challenge, unless you start planning right now," said Clinton.

Obama must have slept through History class...or aced Irony

If you're trying to dispel the "socialist" label, try spending 15 seconds on Google before encouraging people to defeat your opponents with a metaphorical long cleaning implement.

Barack Obama, who's publicly complained his opponents are trying to characterize him as "socialist" and they accuse him trying to turn the United States into the Soviet Union, sought to take the initiative in the ongoing debate over his proposed government takeover of health care.

Organizing for America, the White House's political arm, opened GrabAMop.com, urging Americans to to "grab a mop" because "we understand exactly who and what got us into this mess." He then goes on to joke his opponents will be silly enough to characterize it as a "socialist mop."

There's just one problem for Obama's ongoing efforts to dispel the "socialist" label...

In an unfortunate concidence, the Soviet Union used to print postcards and posters featuring a "red broom" sweeping away the "enemies of the people."

Backfire: RTD poll shows women, voters overall abandoning Dems

A Richmond Times-Dispatch/Mason-Dixon poll shows what we already know -- double-digit leads for the entire statewide Republican ticket in Tuesday's election.

But there are a couple of figures in there that should make Virginia Democrats somehow even more depressed. More and more voters are abandoning Democrats as the Obama White House ditches the centrist tone of the election and pursues government-run health care and an increasingly centrally-planned economy.

For one, in the race for Lieutenant Governor, Republican Bill Bolling is virtually tied with Democrat Jody Wagner in heavily Democrat northern Virginia.

And the Democrat Party's obsessive insistence that women support abortion is coming back to bite them.

In the race for Attorney General, unapologetically and prominently pro-life Ken Cuccinelli "leads [Steve] Shannon among women, 42 percent to 37 percent." Numerous polls released earlier this year show a majority of women now describe themselves as pro-life.

Shannon has been carpet-bombing the commonwealth with ads attacking Cuccinelli for opposing expansions of government power. The ads seem to be backfiring, as Cuccinelli's overall 15 point lead is twice the seven point lead measured earlier in October.

Large numbers of voters are undecided with just days to go until the election, yet Virginia Democrat attack ads seeking to define the Republican candidates seem to be backfiring, as GOP leads continue to grow.

The White House aren't the only ones in D.C. falsifying numbers this week.

Hmmm...

Yet another Democrat swats back at Obama

It looks like Obama's me-first attitude, which any Democrat who might put a chink in his ego to go into the cornfield, is winning him yet another Democrat critic.

From Wes Pruden's column in today's Washington Times.

"These 'anonymous voices' have decided those hard-working [down-ballot candidates] are just collateral damage in their effort to tell the world that if [Mr.] Deeds doesn't win, it is because he ignored advice," Paul Goldman, a former chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party, tells Politico, the Washington politics daily. "This isn't change we can believe in, but the same old, same old we voted out of office. Do they really believe their attempts to shield the president from blame is going to distract [Mr.] Obama's critics, much less change the arc of today's politics?"

Americans want change, but steadfastly oppose ObamaCare

More bad news for the White House.

The latest Rasmussen Reports scientific survey finds 62 percent of independent voters prefer the current health care system to anything proposed by Washington.

The survey also finds more Americans think so-called "reform" will make health care more expensive than less. Forty-two percent correctly point out supposed "free" health care will just encourage people to get more unnecessary care, the very problem Obama blames rising costs on. Only 31 percent thinks government management will make health care less expensive.

And in a bit of great news, 66 percent say free market competition between insurers will do more to make health care affordable than government regulations. Democrats have routinely accused insurers of operating state-by-state monopolies, while never admitting the fact they were the ones who outlawed allowing consumers to shop across state lines.

The Washigton Post ad Creigh Deeds doesn't want you to see

What amuses me most about Creigh Deeds' television ads is the fact it seems The Washington Post is the only newspaper that can bring itself to say anything nice about him.

Turns out even the Post, which is desperately trying relive its hatchet job and George Allen and throw Virginia's gubernatorial election to prove it is still relevant, isn't exactly wild about Creigh Deeds.
