1. Democrats Condone Weiner Campaign Attack On Female Intern
Earlier when asked about former
representative-turned-mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, DNC Chair Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz excused the matter as a “personal struggle” and

2. Did you know that you support the Renewable Fuel Standard?
According to a new poll from the folks at
“Fuels America*“, 75% of Americans and 60% of conservatives support the
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the 2005 act of Congress which mandates
how many billions of gallons of ethanol are to be included in motor
gasoline for each year through 2022. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Google as ISP lets us know they oppose Net Neutrality
We heard that Google had been accused of
violating the FCC’s Open Internet order, also known as Net Neutrality.
The stated purpose of Net Neutrality is to prevent ISPs from
discriminating between one kind of Internet traffic, and another, in
order to bolster its own services.
Google as web services provider was a strong
proponent of the new regulations. However in Google’s response to the
Net Neutrality complaint, Google has come out in favor of
discrimination, asserting that because discrimination against “server”
traffic is an industry standard, Google is within its rights to continue
that discrimination in the Net Neutrality era. Google, in defending its
own Net Neutrality violation, is citing the pre-Net Neutrality industry
standards it repeatedly claimed were dangerous and harmful to
Americans. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. I Think @BrentBozell Wins This One
Many know Brent Bozell as head of the Media Research Center. Few realize he has another group called For America.
It is For America you need to focus on right
now. They’ve just thrown a punch in Mitch McConnell’s direction over his
refusal to sign on to Mike Lee’s plan to undermine Obamacare.
Watch this. It’s the best political ad on television today. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. John McCain Twists Arms Fast and Furiously to Confirm Obama’s Nominee for ATF Director
No agency
better exemplifies the malfeasance of this administration than the ATF –
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This
same organization that was involved in the most egregious gun running
scandal in American history (Fast and Furious) is also prosecuting
law-abiding gun owners with zealous furor. Yet,
Senator John McCain has just ensured that the man who was at the scene
of the crime gets confirmed as the next permanent director of ATF.
After
being without a director for five years, McCain is hell-bent on
rewarding Obama’s bad behavior by confirming the acting director, Todd
Jones, as permanent director. Todd Jones was the highest ranking official during Fast and Furious. Mr.
Jones has refused to answer questions from Senator Grassley, Ranking
Member of the Judiciary Committee, concerning the scandal and any
disciplinary action taken by his office. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
