For August 11, 2014



Questioning the Chairman
All of us at RedState had a great time at this year’s Gathering. And we’re already looking forward to next year in Atlanta. There was one minor bit of controversy at the Gathering this year and I think I should start today by addressing it.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post

The Coming "Crisis" in the U.S. Has Obama Terrified

"We’re not as prepared as we should be," Obama sheepishly said recently.

What the president is referring to is an event that could cripple the U.S. economy... It's also one that Sean Brodrick had previously predicted. On April 27, he proclaimed, "Sometime very soon in 2014, we're going to see the first major (*word redacted*) in the United States."

Tolerate or Be Stamped Out
Are gay rights and Christianity compatible? The answer appears to be no. As gay rights activists use the tactics of Bull Connor to push for what they declare civil rights, they are targeting churches, religiously affiliated groups and Christian businesses for harassment and lawsuits. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Obama’s Iraq response is a waste of time
US Navy F/A-18s launched from the USS George H W Bush struck ISIS targets in northern Iraq. This will go down in history as a strong contender for the “Too Little Too Late” award. Were thousands of people not being killed it would be a farce.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Is Obama even familiar with his own national security policy?
In January of 2014 what had been a suppurating insurgency in Iraq erupted into a full-blown civil war. It became clear that this was no ordinary civil war, ISIS, the Islamic terror group brought into being by Barack Obama’s obscenely misguided policy in Iraq and Syria, engaged in a program of slaughtering prisoners, slaughtering civilians, the ethnic cleansing of Christian enclaves, etc. And they were not circumspect about what they were doing. The documented their actions for posterity and loaded the video on YouTube.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


ISIS, the Caliphate, is Evil Incarnate
Each day we see new evidence of the unthinkable atrocities and barbarism unleashed by ISIS, the radical Islamic terrorist group oppressing much of Iraq and Syria.

Recently, ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow and Senior Counsel Skip Ash compiled a report detailing the history, extent, and gravity of the danger posed by this ruthless jihadist terror group.

While born as an offshoot of al Qaeda, even these terrorists quickly distanced themselves from ISIS for its brutality and indiscriminate slaughter. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


On Leadership, Governor Nikki Haley Shares How South Carolina Is ‘Open For Business’
On Saturday, as she has for nearly every year of the RedState Gathering, South Carolina’s Governor Nikki Haley spoke to the Gathering’s attendees.

This year, the Governor was able to tout another year of accomplishments since taking office: Continuing to lower her state’s unemployment rate from 11% to 5.3%–making South Carolina one of the fastest state growing economies in the nation, reforming the state’s agencies as well as—very importantly—attracting new, good-paying (and union-free) jobs to the Palmetto State. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Ohio Dem Ed FitzGerald Implodes in Epic Fashion
A political campaign’s failure to get off the ground doesn’t prevent its crashing and burning, as Ohio Democrat Ed FitzGerald is proving this month.

The RealClearPolitics average has incumbent Republican John Kasich leading by 8.2. Thus ends the good news for FitzGerald. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Obama's Been Collecting Millions Thanks to WHAT???
The President has quietly been collecting as much as $5 million over the past few years... thanks to a VERY surprising source. It involves an extremely profitable kind of investment that most Americans usually can't even touch. But we've found a backdoor way you could get in... Starting with just $11. And you’ll be SHOCKED when you see how much income there is to be made. Details here.
Sincerely yours,

Erick Erickson
Editor-in-Chief, RedState
