This morning on Meet The Press, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta admitted that information gathered from waterboarding led the United States to Bin Ladin! Panetta alluded to the same a couple of years ago when he made similar comments, but todays admission is crystal clear. Here’s the quote.
With the national average for a gallon of gas approaching $4 once again,(SEE STORY HERE) some people are being forced into desperate acts. Jorge Sanchez was arrested on Friday after attempting to steal 24 cans of oil from a Costco in Burbank, CA. Store officials said Sanchez was seen putting quarts of oil in his pants, socks and shirt. He was arrested after a short chase outside of the store and it was discovered he had absconded with 24 cans. (SEE STORY HERE)
So a few weeks ago, President Obama told The New Republic magazine that “…up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.” Really? Then they have the Camp David kitchen staff clean the skeets and cook them up in a nice skeet stew, right? When asked at last Monday’s press briefing how much skeet shooting Obama actually did and if there were photos to prove it, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, “Pictures may exist, but he hadn’t seen any…when he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs.”
Crazy Uncle Ron Paul
One of my favorite Far Side cartoons of all time was a picture of a parading group of protesters marching down the street, united arm-in-arm, holding a sign that said imbeciles untie….and the sign was upside down.
Is it just me or does Obama say something then end up doing the exact opposite?
I watched his press conference where he was touting his “jobs program”, which is simply another tax and spend program. He said, paraphrasing, that he was not promoting class warfare and in the next sentence, promoted class warfare.
The Republican debate leading up to this weekend’s Iowa straw poll was the first real opportunity for all the candidates to earn their first semester grades. The LaughatLiberals.com report card is below. Please blog-in with your feedback.
The debt ceiling crisis could be a golden opportunity to reign in the growth of the federal government. I hope the Republican leadership is up to the task.
In Wisconsin, Gov. Walker, then candidate Walker campaigned on the platform of cutting state spending. He specifically said he would deal with the state employee pay and benefit crisis by proposing greater financial participation on the part of state workers in their benefits and by ending collective bargaining for state employees.
After the tragic events in Tucson, everybody from elected officials to leftist talking heads have been pointing fingers at anyone who doesn’t walk lockstep with their politics.
David Rieff of The New Republic put it this way:
“There is really no doubt that the apocalyptic rhetoric that is the common currency of the Becks, Palins, Limbaughs and worse has the potential to make unstable people murderous”
The key there being “unstable people”. Hello! They are unstable people! Based on Mr. Rieff’s logic, Jodie Foster is responsible for Reagan being shot. BTW, the shooter was an atheist too! Is anyone blaming John Lennon, Madalyn Murray O’Hair or Frank Zappa?
Do I think that the Becks, Limbaughs, Hannitys and the like feed our fears or anger? Yes, I will admit that. But then so do insurance companies. Ignoring the dangers to us, our families and our country is foolish.
The leftists don’t use this approach as much. The leftist approach is more often than not superior distain. This is self-massaging in that it offers a sense of intellectual dominance or Holier than thou. The violent garbage being spewed at Palin and other conservatives reflects the frustration with being resisted. Their living with no self-decipline is exposed unless everybody does it.
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns banned. If a conservative doesn’t want to pray, they don’t pray. If a liberal doesn’t want to pray, he fights to have prayer removed from any facet of our lives. If a conservative wants to be healthier, he eats healthier. If a liberal wants to be healthier, he wants to sue McDonalds into doing away with Kid Meals. You get the idea.
While the blood was still running from the wounds of the victims of the shooting in Arizona, the left smear merchants at the New York Times and MSNBC were carefully crafting every sentence of their lead stories. The goal was to use the tragedy to paint Republicans, the Tea Party, conservatives in general and specific individuals as extremists and somehow being responsible for the acts of a crazed individual.
With all the controversy surrounding the new TSA screening techniques you might be interested to know the effectiveness of these screenings. Accorrding to sources at the TSA, since the implementation of the new “pat-downs” in mid 2010, the following has been discovered;
I have to make the obligitory comparison. What do you think would be happening in the liberal mainstream media if Bush were still in office and these TSA searches were going on?
Hey folks,
Just wanted to post a notice that I will be doing an interview about LaughAtLiberals.com on the Steve Wark morning show out of Las Vegas. His web site is here SteveWarkintheMorning.com.
Below is the text of the voice over on MSNBC’s newest promo. It’s part of their “Lean Forward” promotional campaign. See if you can tell what’s missing.
This is an adaptation of a story a friend of mine emailed to me recently. I don’t know it’s original source, but it has been modified for LAL.
Of course I watched Fox News coverage of the election, but in the interest of being fair and balanced, I switched over to MSNBC.
The tsunami is on the horizon. As the Republican wave gets closer to shore the desperate Democrats are revealing their power hungry nature with every negative ad and personal attack.
Julian Assange, the Wiki-Leaks founder is now wanted for questioning, not for releasing top secret documents that have cost the lives of innocent victims and endangered countless others, rather for charges of rape and molestation.
My friend Carl sent me this. What a commentary on not only the press, but on us as well.
I THINK IT IS REMARKABLE THAT WITHIN A WEEK OF TIGER WOODS’ CRASHING HIS ESCALADE, THE PRESS FOUND EVERY WOMAN WITH WHOM TIGER HAS HAD AN AFFAIR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, WITH PHOTOS, TEXT MESSAGES, RECORDED PHONE CALLS, ETC.
AND, THEY NOT ONLY KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE FAMILY FIGHT, BUT THEY EVEN KNOW IT WAS A WEDGE FROM HIS GOLF BAG THAT HIS WIFE USED TO BREAK OUT THE WINDOWS IN THE ESCALADE. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY KNOW WHICH WEDGE! AND EACH AND EVERY DAY, THEY GIVE AMERICA MORE UPDATES ON HIS SEX-REHAB STAY,
HIS WIFE’S PLANS FOR DIVORCE, AND HIS PLANS TO RETURN TO THE PRO-GOLF CIRCUIT.
