and Leadership (Paperback)
Robert A. Hall has observed the political scene with
integrity and wit for decades. This distillation of his observances will
provide the reader with a treasury of thought-provoking commentary on a variety
of topics. You CAN put it down. But you will always want to pick it up again.
Must Read: It’s War, You
Idiots. By Michael Ledeen
Excerpt: It’s hard to get our minds around the dimensions of
the slaughter underway in the Middle East and Africa, and harder still to see
that the battlefields of Egypt,
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Somalia, Nigeria and Mali are pieces in a global war in
which we are targeted. For the most part, the deep thinkers zero in on the
single battlefields. What if anything should we do about the big fight in Egypt?
Should we assist the Syrian opposition?
Sickening: Farm subsidies: A welfare program for
agribusiness. It's one of the most widely reviled federal programs. So why is
Congress fighting to save farm subsidies?
There are no conservatives in Congress. ~Bob. Excerpt:
Critics contend that the subsidies it hands out are wasteful, illogical, and
counterproductive — a welfare program for millionaires and giant
agribusinesses. Over the last decade, the farm bill has cost taxpayers more
than $168 billion.
Excerpt: Many today believe that
renewable energy will let us get off fossil fuels soon. Unfortunately, the
facts say otherwise. According to International
Energy Agency data, 13.12% of the world’s energy came from
renewables in 1971, the first year that the IEA reported global statistics. In
2011, renewables’ share was actually lower, at 12.99%. … Burning wood in pre-industrial Western Europe caused massive deforestation, as is
occurring in much of the developing world today. The indoor air
pollution that biomass produces kills more than three million people annually.
Obama economic
approval falls
Excerpt: Just 35 percent of
Americans approve of the president’s job on the economy, down from 42 percent
in June, according to a Gallup
survey. Sixty-two percent disapproved.
Suppose you could magically pay any fee you want to health
care providers and they can’t refuse. You can’t control the fee others are
paying. But you can select your own. What fee would you choose? Your first
inclination might be to select a fee of zero, or at least something close to
it. So let’s try that out in a thought experiment. When you call for a doctor’s
appointment, you would discover increasing difficulty getting one. You would be
put on hold for long periods of time. The number you are asked to call might be
answered by a voice recorder, not a real person. When you are given an
appointment, it would be weeks (perhaps months) away.
When you arrive at the doctor’s office you would discover that others in the
waiting room are seen before you are ― even patients who arrive after you have
arrived. BTW, I’m not making any of this up. I’m more or less describing the
difference in how patients are treated by dermatologists
if they need a Medicare-covered service versus a service for which payment will
be out of pocket; how Medicaid
patients are treated vis-à-vis non-Medicaid patients; and how I have
observed that HMO patients are treated versus patients who pay market prices.

Excerpt: At least 24 Egyptian policemen have been killed in

Whose Side Is Obama
On? By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Obama interrupted a hard day of lazing around Martha’s Vineyard to denounce the “arbitrary
arrests” of Muslim Brotherhood supporters and the “broad crackdown on Mr.
Morsi’s associations and supporters” and then insisted “We don’t take sides
with any particular party or political figure.”
“We don’t take sides”
Excerpt: Barack Obama’s incompetence is destroying
another US allegiance.
Squeezing a few precious moments from his golf
vacation, Barack Obama informed us that he will not choose sides in Egypt. We don’t take sides when Christians are persecuted. (Per article, Russia moving
in. –Barb)
The Jew-Hating Dem Behind the ‘Million Muslim March.’
By Arnold Ahlert
Excerpt: As even the Washington Post acknowledges,
AMPAC’s leader, M.D. Rabbi Alam, has “pushed controversial anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories about the attacks.” … In addition, Alam is a 9/11
“truther” who believes that Jews, in a grand conspiracy, perpetrated one of the
worst domestic attacks in the nation’s history.

http://politicaloutcast.com/2013/08/obamas-bumbling-handing-egypt-over-to-russia/
Excerpt: So the great liberal hope, Barack Obama, who was
going to bring peace to the world with a smile and an apology, has instead lost
us the entire Middle East.
The Radical Racist Background of Obama & We’re Not Talking About
Barack
Excerpt:
I did some background checking into Michelle Obama and her links with
socialists, communists and other high ranking radicals that wish nothing more
than to destroy the United States
as it is, and create a brand new United States! This may sound
absurd and demeaning, but it is true. Some of the words spoken by Michelle
Obama and her husband Barack Obama have come directly from a radical book
titled Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky
Obama asks public
schools to ignore bad behavior by black students
Excerpt: On July 26th Obama signed an executive order titled
the “African American Education Initiative.” The order essentially gives a
green light for black students to misbehave in public schools. In
two places, Obama’s executive order calls on schools to reduce the number
disciplinary actions taken against blacks students.
Judge Scolds Dems For
Ignoring Constitution: Calls election-rigging schemes 'both sad and, frankly,
shocking'
Excerpt: The judge’s rebuke was made in reference to a
126-page bill passed by the Democrats under the guise of “election reform,” but
as the bill was being debated, it became apparent to some that the real purpose
of the bill was to enable Democrats to win elections. Among other things, the
bill requires all elections to be conducted by mail-in ballot and allow for
same-day registration. The bill also eliminates residency requirements so state
residents can go anywhere in the state and vote.
Money, Money, Money,
Money, MONEY! By Maureen Dowd
Excerpt: Why is it that America’s roil family always seems
better in abstract than in concrete? The closer it gets to running the world
once more, the more you are reminded of all the things that bugged you the last
time around. The Clintons’
neediness, their sense of what they are owed in material terms for their public
service, their assumption that they’re entitled to everyone’s money.
Excerpt: “The executive branch has now confirmed that the
‘rules, regulations and court-imposed standards for protecting the privacy of
Americans’ have been violated thousands of times each year. We have
previously said that the violations of these laws and rules were more serious
than had been acknowledged, and we believe Americans should know that this
confirmation is just the tip of a larger iceberg,” Wyden and Udall said in a
joint statement this afternoon. “While Senate rules prohibit us from confirming
or denying some of the details in today’s press reports, the American people
have a right to know more details about of these violations. (Get ready
for more smoke and use of the word “phony” by POTUS et al. Watch the shell game.
–Barb)
All Barack and No
Populist Bite: OFA's impotent "climate change"
congressional "events" won't deter unilateral actions against the
people's will.
Excerpt: My self-appointed mission was to observe
appearances by protesting members of Organizing for Action, the
now supposedly “independent” entity which until late last year ran President
Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns. All of OFA’s protest visits “just so
happen” to target 135 Republicans characterized as “climate deniers.” As a
result, on Wednesday, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, one of the very few
real heroes in what used to be the
world’s greatest deliberative body, announced an investigation into whether OFA has violated the Hatch
Act’s prohibition against engaging in political campaign activities. (They’ve
got “the mark.” –Barb)
Excerpt: By December 2014, the U.S. military will have transported home some
35,000 vehicles and 95,000 containers at an estimated cost of $6 billion. It is
the largest retrograde or pullout in history. “There are huge problems getting
materiel out of Afghanistan,” said Don Olson, top civilian
leader of the Sierra Army Depot, America’s
largest repository of military equipment. The biggest problem, since Afghanistan is landlocked, is that the U.S. must fly the equipment out or pay
exorbitant customs fees to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Teen 'who shot baby dead in his stroller during robbery' will suggest the boy's own PARENTS wanted him killed for insurance money
Excerpt:
Defense attorneys are set to strongly suggest that the real killers of a
toddler brutally shot to death in his stroller were his parents, who had a
financial interest in his death - and that their 18-year-old defendant who goes
on trial this week is not guilty. Antonio Santiago had learned to walk, but not yet talk,
when he was killed March 21, six weeks after his first birthday. He was strapped in
his stroller, out for a walk with his mother a few blocks from their apartment
near the Georgia coast, when someone shot the boy
between the eyes with a .22-caliber bullet the size of a garden pea. (Forget
the kid—he wasn’t wearing a hoodie. ~Bob)
What U.K.
health scandals tell us about Obamacare
http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/15/what-u-k-health-scandals-tell-us-about-obamacare/#ixzz2cLQafUXf
http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/15/what-u-k-health-scandals-tell-us-about-obamacare/#ixzz2cLQafUXf
Excerpt:
The government puts its financial needs first, not the patient’s desires or
best interests. The
British government has been giving hospitals financial rewards for increasing
the number of patients put on end-of-life care, a type of care that clears beds
needed for other patients and reduces the government’s expenses. The Francis
report described hospitals in the Mid Staffordshire trust as a “culture focused
on doing the system’s business,” not caring for patients.
Obama to sign UN Arms Treaty this month while congress is in
recess
http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/14/obama-to-sign-un-arms-treaty-this-month-while-congress-is-in-recess/#ixzz2cLPelPOU
http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/14/obama-to-sign-un-arms-treaty-this-month-while-congress-is-in-recess/#ixzz2cLPelPOU
Excerpt: President Obama
will move forward with adding his signature to the UN Arms Treaty before the
end of this month according to Press Secretary Jay Carney. It is feared and
predicted by many gun rights groups and advocates that the treaty, if ratified,
could open up the US gun
market to international regulation.
U.S. Aid
to Cambodia's
Corrupt Military. By Michael Benge
http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/08/us_aid_to_cambodias_corrupt_military.html
http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/08/us_aid_to_cambodias_corrupt_military.html
Excerpt: The "he said, she said" dispute over the
claim that the Cambodian regime suspended or cancelled international military
cooperation with the U.S. offers an ideal opportunity for the Obama
administration to right a wrong-headed policy of providing aid to a corrupt and
politicized military implicated in brutal human
rights abuses. (Cambodia
was the scene of truly incredible horror after the Viet Nam war ended, but the mass
killers of Pol Pot were finally dispersed and some kind of less horrible
government instituted. But while they aren't slaughtering people by the
thousands any more, the goons in charge are still murdering any and all
critics, and practicing corruption on a huge scale. And we are financing part
of this. It is time and more than time for us to take a stand against this
corrupt, gangster government. –Del.
They are communists. What do you expect? ~Bob)
American al Qaeda
militant urges attacks on U.S.
diplomats
What I believe our message to Muslim countries should
be: "The war on terrorism is over. We lost, you won. You don't want
us in your countries and we don't want you in ours. Fine. It's a deal. We can
live with that. We will begin withdrawing all of our military forces from every
Muslim country in the world, and all our citizens will be told to leave. All of
our embassies and consulates in Muslim countries will be permanently closed.
All of your United Nations ambassadors and employees will be thrown out of the United States. Guantanamo will be emptied
of prisoners, and they will be sent back to whatever hell hole they were captured
in. You stay in your world and we will stay in ours. Without exception, if your
ships venture outside the 12-mile international limit, they will be sunk
without warning. If your planes venture outside your air space, they will be
shot out of the sky. Several carrier groups will be permanently stationed in
the Mediterranean to enforce compliance. All
commercial trade with Muslim countries is permanently suspended. Since you want
to live in the 7th century, we will keep our food and all the products that
make the modern world possible. All foreign aid that is currently going to
Muslim countries will be redirected to Israel. Keep your oil and Persian
rugs. We will be instituting a Manhattan Project type program to become energy
independent. We have all the oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, thermal,
and wind resources we need to accomplish this." –LLW
Egypt’s Military: Doing What the Wehrmacht Should Have Done in 1933.
By Robert Reilly
Excerpt: Thirty million people in the streets of Egypt, with the help of the Egyptian military,
have saved the United States
from the consequences of its disastrous policy of supporting the Muslim
Brotherhood since President Barack Obama came to office. Just months after his
inauguration in 2009, Mr. Obama appeared in Cairo to address the Muslim world. He ensured
that members of the Muslim Brotherhood were seated in the front row of the
auditorium at Cairo
University. Since the
group was still officially banned in Egypt, no one from President Hosni
Mubarak’s administration could attend. (The hand wringing over the Egyptian
miliary's war on the Muslim Brotherhood is ridiculous except for those who
yearn for a caliphate and all it stands for. How would anyone benefit from the
victory of jihadists? Certainly not the Egyptians. Certainly not any of its
neighbors. Certainly not the U.S.,
Obama's fantasies notwithstanding. Cordially, Larry Greenberg)
Excerpt: You don’t have to watch her cable network to see
Oprah Winfrey these days; the billionaire media powerhouse and occasional
actress is busy promoting her new film, “The Butler,” as well as opening up
some racial and political divisions in the bargain.
Police: Man with gun
told victim to apologize to black people
Excerpt: A man has been charged with malicious harassment
and second-degree assault after he pointed a gun at a man in Seattle's Green
Lake neighborhood and demanded that he apologize "for all the things white
people did to black people," according to prosecutors.
Memo Shows White
House Claims Of Mortgage Fraud Were Grossly Exaggerated
Excerpt: The left has long maintained the financial meltdown
was a result of greedy bankers fraudulently pushing bad loans on ignorant
borrowers. Now, quietly, the administration has admitted that this isn't true.
(Wow, as it says in the last line, by the government's own admission, the whole
story about widespread mortgage fraud by bankers causing the economic meltdown
was false. (Or "exagerrated", but in my view, when the claim was
$1,000,000,000 in losses and the reality was $95,000,000 (less than 10% of the
claim), that's far enough out to be closer to false than just a bit of
exaggeration.) The data were always there, and any kind of competence says the
guys at the top knew it or damn well should have known it. But it served their
purpose to go with the myth, so they happily did so. It seems that it's not
just those greedy capitalists and corrupt GOP politicians who actually try to
deceive us on major matters of importance. --Del)
Kevin Rudd support
sinks to record low in latest Newspoll
Excerpt: VOTER support for Kevin Rudd has sunk to its lowest
level on record, leaving Labor headed for a large election loss with Tony
Abbott now virtually equal as preferred prime minister.
The
Education Fraud. By John Jaeger
Excerpt: The enduring lie propounded by teachers’ unions
throughout America
is that more money will produce better results. It hasn’t and it won’t. But the
lie has continued for decades to the extent that anyone who does not march in
lockstep is called out as “anti-education” or worse. You “hate kids.” Such
tactics are simply bullying. They are unprofessional and have no place in the
debate.
New ICE Boss: Defense
Attorney for Murderers and Pedophiles, Zero Law Enforcement Experience.
By John Hill
Excerpt: Former ICE Director John Morton was the worst in
history, undermining law enforcement against illegal aliens with his infamous
“memos” that gutted the rule of law and provided
administrative amnesty for at least 2 million illegal aliens.
(Another great choice for dictatorial government. --Del)
Mark
Steyn a candidate for U.S.
Senate? Daily Caller
Excerpt:
“[M]y heart sank somewhat when I read in the Union Leader, I think it was the
other day, about those who were preparing to run against Jeanne Shaheen for
U.S. Senate seat,” Steyn wrote. “And I wish this state was the way it was 20
years ago, but the New Hampshire Republican Party was too often was content to
be in office rather than in power. That’s a problem with the Republican Party
generally, I feel.
Idiot
Big Brother: The prospect of NSA abuse is now a reality. Mark Steyn
Excerpt:
“If you look at the reports,” said President Obama earlier this month, “even
the disclosures that Mr. Snowden’s put forward, all the stories that have been
written, what you’re not reading about is the government actually abusing these
programs and, you know, listening in on people’s phone calls or inappropriately
reading people’s e-mails. What you’re hearing about is the prospect that these
could be abused.” But that was a week ago.
Speech-to-speech
translation: the next move in Mark Zuckerberg's plan to make you a citizen of
Facebook. Mic Wright
Excerpt: Zuckerberg’s dreams go way beyond
sharing holiday snaps and office chatter. He wants to make Facebook inescapable, the communications platform of this
century (and the next). But as he pushes to put his audacious and, at times,
deeply unsettling plans into action, he’d do well to remember what else The Hitchhiker’s Guide has
to say about the Babel Fish: … the poor Babel Fish, by effectively removing all
barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more
and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
Sexual
Blackmail on Skype: how sadistic crooks drive young people to the point of
suicide. By Mic Wright
Excerpt:
Blackmailers lure users of both sexes into exposing themselves on camera,
believing they are chatting to an attractive woman or man. The images are
captured and the threats begin: give us money or we’ll tell your family, your
friends, the world [on YouTube]. The fear of being revealed and judged is
profound.
Shale
gas is Rearden metal. By James Delingpole
Excerpt:
Ayn Rand has her faults but, boy, was she prescient. One of the things she
foresaw was the current nonsensical, dishonest, canting campaign against shale
gas. In Atlas Shrugged it takes the form of Rearden Metal, the miracle
technology which is going to transform the US economy if only the progressives
will let it.

Obama's
Secret $8 Billion Bribe To the Muslim Brotherhood
Excerpt:
Obama secretly transferred eight billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood
not the Egyptian government as payment to guarantee that a large portion of the

an avowed enemy of both the United States and Israel.(If true, this smells like
treason. --MM)

Excerpt: Obama’s imperial presidency has manifested itself in many ways. Often he willfully neglects his constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” As we’ve seen with education, immigration, and health care, suspending the law amounts to rewriting the law.( Acting more like a dictator than the president of a Constitutional Republic, Obama continues to attempt to change America into a third rate Marxist state.

By Jörg Muth
Excerpt: I have to agree with my
historian colleague Robert Goldich that General Dempsey's remarks contain more bad news than good
news. Between his lines lies excuses for further cuts in the budget and the
emphasis on networking and good relations with the allies appears to be wishful
thinking rather than an actual reliable cornerstone for a strategy or force
structure. (An excellent commentary by an extremely smart German war historian.
And with no dog in the fight, so to speak, his input should be especially
valuable. --Del)
Concord: Half of Affordable Care Act call center
jobs will be part-time
Excerpt: Now, with two months to go before the Concord operation opens

local politicians who believed the positions would be full-time.

Fixing it all, or,
losing it all: The Only Options Left for America. By Vic Biorseth
Fixing it all is our only real option now. If we don't
fix it all, we will surely lose it all. Things have just gone too far for any
piece-meal, item-at-a-time, one-step-at-a-time projects, marching toward the
return to American national sanity. The enemy is successfully and rapidly
advancing on too many fronts, any one or two of which could bring our whole
system down, permanently. No one can stand alone in the breach, like the little
Dutch boy with his heroic finger plugging the hole in the dike. There are now
too many breaches in the dike. (A very sober commentary on where we are and
what we need to do. Some will think it very extreme, but I don't see it as
being entirely off base. Heaven knows our society has too many festering
problems that add up to desperate need for fixing and a return to higher
principles. –Del. Unfortunately, 98% of the people look at any “fix it all”
efforts as to how it will impact their own short term self interest. ~Bob.)
Boy, 7, shot putting

Excerpt: Tyvion Jackson had just returned from a picnic and
was putting his bike away in the 4200 block of West 5th Avenue around 9 p.m. when he was
shot twice in the left side, according to his mother, Tasha McDuffie. (Tyvion,
huh. Unless he was wearing a hoodie and was shot by a White Hispanic, none of
the race baiters will mention his name ever again. ~Bob.)

'Elysium' Tanks: Matt
Damon New 'King Of The Left-Wing Flops'
Excerpt: But at the meta level, the career of Blomkamp,
whose mother dragged the family off from Johannesburg
to Vancouver
after a 17-year-old friend was shot dead by black
carjackers, is one of the funnier pranks played on the American culturati’s
hive mind in recent decades. I’ve read over a hundred reviews of Blomkamp’s two
movies, and virtually no critic has noticed that he does not share their
worldview. Not at all.
Egyptian Democratic
Coalition Responds to Obama
Excerpt: The National Salvation Front, a coalition of
pro-democratic and secular parties in Egypt,
set out its objections to remarks made by President Barack
Obama Thursday on the escalating violence in Egypt. Led by
Ahmed Said of the Free Egyptians Party, the group issued the following letter:
(This letter is a powerful statement by smart people who are fighting for
freedom in Egypt,
against the fanatics that want to put Sharia Law in place for the society. These
are Arab Muslims who got a taste of government by religious fanatics and
decided rapidly that this was NOT what they wanted to take over their lives. We
should be supporting them. Yes, that means we would be declaring that we are
not the bosom buddies of the Muslim Brotherhood. That will precipitate some
yelling at us, but in truth the Brotherhood is our enemy, and the people who
will yell at us are part of the problem, not of the solution. Time to stand up
and be counted, in our own best self-interest. But will it happen? --Del)
An apology letter
to Mr. Obama. By Matt Walsh
Satire gone viral. ~Bob
Excerpt: I’ll confess that although the leftier-than-thou
types have always been around, I’ve long been skeptical of the idea that Obama
has a core group of supporters from 2008 who really do consider him The One, a
shining beacon of light who could do no wrong. But I’m the one who was wrong. I
don’t know how many there are, but they’re definitely out there.

Saudi Arabia's War on Witchcraft: A special unit of the
religious police pursues magical crime aggressively, and the convicted face
death sentences. By Ryan Jacobs
Excerpt: The sorceress was naked. The sight of her bare
flesh startled the prudish officers of Saudi
Arabia's infamous religious police, the Committee for the
Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), which had barged into
her room in what was supposed to be a routine raid of a magical hideout in the
western desert city of Madinah's
Al-Seeh neighborhood. They paused in shock, and to let her dress. (Coming soon

Muslim Brotherhood
must be removed like Nazis, Egypt's
ambassador to Britain
says
Excerpt: "Morsi was elected president and held office
for one year but in that time he tried to make everything Muslim Brotherhood
controlled. Egyptian culture over 5,000 years is a mix of religions and
civilisations in which the Islamic religion is one ingredient of the Egyptian
character," he said. "The Muslim Brotherhood are like a Nazi group
that demand that everything changes and people everything to their way."

Egyptian
bloodbath threatens crucial routes for oil and gas supplies. By Garry White and
Emma Rowley.
Excerpt:
However, Egypt plays a vital
role in international energy markets through the operation of the Suez Canal and the Suez-Mediterranean (Sumed) pipeline.
