Remember back in the campaign when Obama said the war on
terror was over and al Qaeda was on the run? Good times! ~Bob

Gee, I wonder who did it? Baptists? Buddhists? ~Bob.
Senator Brian Schatz (D, Hawaii): did you have carnal
relations with that sheep? By Moe Lane
Not really. Blown out of proportion. Of course, if he was a
Republican, be headlines in all the media for weeks. No Muslim jokes, please.
The president is trying to reset our relations with them again—as soon as we
dare reopen our embassies. ~Bob

Pro-lifers rally in front of ABC News to condemn abortion censorship. Caroline
May
Excerpt:
A prominent theme throughout the rally was the comparison of the media’s
coverage of Wendy Davis and the Gosnell trial. Pro-life activist Jill Stanek
noted that the pink sneakers Davis wore during her 13-hour filibuster of a Texas
abortion-restricting bill received three times the media coverage as the baby
feet discovered in the Gosnell’s office.
Obama
to speak at Lincoln
Memorial marking 50th anniverary of King speech. By Rick Moran
Excerpt: Someone should remind the president that he is
president of all Americans and that Dr. King belongs to all of us - not one
race or interest group. Mr.
Obama's plan just leaves a bad
taste in my mouth. I certainly hope he's not planning on going to
Gettysburg in November for the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's speech.
Charlie Rangel Racial
Demagogue
Excerpt: It happens so often that we have grown accustomed
to it. Which is sad, when you think about it. What am I talking about?
Democrats and liberals playing the race card. In the past it was mostly held by
the professional race provocateurs like Al Sharpton and Jesses Jackson, but
more recently Democrat politicians have begun using it with regularity. Since
MSNBC embraced its inner leftist, it has begun playing racially divisive games
with impunity.
British Warships Set
Sail for Gibraltar. By Matt Chorley
Excerpt: This week Fabian Picardo, Gibraltar's chief
minister, asked Britain
to send Royal Navy warships to the area in a bid to stop Spanish boat police
making unauthorised incursions into the Rock's territorial waters. He told
the Times: 'One of the issues that has been relevant has been that Spain has been making incursions with Guardia
Civil launches into Gibraltar
waters. 'With more naval assets it would be easier to show that these are
British waters.'
Allen
West Rips Obama Administration's Handling of Fort Hood
Shootings. By Kevin Derby
Excerpt:
Former Congressman Allen West, who has opened the door to a political comeback
in 2016, weighed in this week on the start of the trial of the Fort Hood
shooter. "Finally, after almost four years, the trial of Army Major Nidal
Hasan began, but should I refer to this despicable Islamic jihadist as an Army
major?” West demanded on Facebook. “He has, after all, renounced his American
citizenship and oath as an Army officer.
'Society
is going to hell in a handcart and the English language is decaying.' By Tom
Chivers
Excerpt: Have we really become
more selfish, and can we tell it from studying our word use? According to news reports of a study by Patricia Greenfield (no relation, I assume), we have, and we can. Apparently,
using the publicly
available and utterly brilliant Google Ngrams tool, Prof Greenfield
examined more than 1.5 million books and found that the use of words such as
"obliged" and "give" has dropped in frequency in
English-language books, while words such as "get", "child",
"unique", "individual" and "self" have become
more common.
UK: Britain's
old friends in the Gulf are luring us east of Suez once more. By Con Coughlin
Excerpt:
Britain and America’s support for the removal of
long-established dictatorships in Egypt
and Libya only served to
create a dangerous political vacuum in North Africa
that is being actively exploited by Islamist groups hostile to the West. And it
is the dawning realisation that a similar fate could befall the kingdoms of the
Gulf that has persuaded Britain
to adopt a more nuanced approach. (Kipling” “Ship me somewhere east of Suez,
where the best is like the worst, where there ain’t no ten commandants, and a
man can raise a thirst.” ~Bob.)
Lower standards:
Pentagon hints at changes to allow more women in ground combat
Excerpt: Public statements from the Pentagon since it
removed the ban on direct ground combat jobs for women signal that the armed
services plan to change their physical standards to ensure integration of the
sexes, analysts say. (OK, I've been waiting for this, the erosion of
committment to keep all the standards in training the same, and let women
compete with the men on that basis only. Now we're seeing the weasel words
about fixing the training differently for women, and having to prove at some
really high level that any particular job in the military means the standards
cannot be changed to give women a better chance of surviving the testing. Just
wait, this is going to slide downhill and at least some of the services will
wind up either giving women a special break or changing the test downwards
for everyone. Maybe the Marine Corps will hold out on this, I sure as hell hope
so. –Del. We
need a special medal for troops killed because of political correctness. None
of the folks advocating this would let their son or daughter near a recruiting
station. ~Bob)

Everywhere, Obama Goes on Vacation Again /Critics bash Obama's
plans for vacay
Excerpt: President Obama and his family are heading to Martha's Vineyard on Saturday for a week of
rest and relaxation, but not before facing the ritual partisan grumblings that
presidential vacations are extravagant and waste taxpayer money.

@RBPundit I'm

bloggers that tune in for great material.

Keystone Pipeline Won’t Increase Emissions
It’s not about jobs or energy or the costs to poor people.
