Latest Pelosi Lie: 50% Support President On Libya
Posted by Brian
![]()
Nancy Pelosi compares Obama's communication with the American people to "marriage". After lying about how many American's support our role in Libya (50%?), she makes this convoluted marriage comparison. She surely must be talking about dysfunctional, abusive marriages where the battered spouse stays despite the abuse. There is certainly that faction of the populace who continues to defend the President and the Democrats no matter how many times they are "battered" with lies by Pelosi and this President. However, most Americans now see through the lies and deception. Even in an abusive relationship, there comes a point where many of those who are the abused see the light and sever ties with their abuser.
Look for abused American voters to make a clean break with Obama and the Democrats in November 2012.
Pelosi: Obama Communicating with Congress is Like ‘A Marriage’
Friday, June 17, 2011
By Nicholas Ballasy
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi compared President Obama’s communication with the American people on the U.S. military mission in Libya to a marriage on Thursday at her weekly press briefing.
“I saw as I was coming here and you take it for what it was worth, I saw it on TV, that over 50 percent of the American people support what the President is doing in Libya, 30, was it 30 percent – oppose so somehow or other the message, while it may not be enough communication for Congress has reached the American people,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill.

"Green" Cars Are A Scam

Produce More Greenhouse Gasses Than Conventional Counterparts
![]()
The push for electric cars has just taken a major hit. I've never bought into the left's narrative that unless we move away from vehicles that use gas the climate will change to such a degree that there will be mass migrations, sea levels will rise and flood New York, or any of the other doomsday predictions. All or some of this may happen over time, but it will not be because of so-called fossil fuels. It will be part of a natural sun cycle, or some other natural event. A second ice age is just as likely from some event like an eruption at the Yellowstone super volcano. The Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Phillipines in 1991 mainlined 15-30 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the the upper atmosphere, creating an unprecedented hole in the ozone over Antarctica, and which lowered global temperatures by over .5 degrees centigrade in 1992 and 1993. The media hysteria over the ozone hole led to stories about how skin cancer for was going to be epidemic. Then, in 1994 the ozone hole had shrunk to such a size that scientists had trouble finding it. Crisis over. Never mind. The idea the CO2 from automobiles is going to have any significant effect is pure sophistry. First off, CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a gas essential to life. We exhale it. Plants feed off of it. Frankly, an increase in the level of CO2 might be a good thing. It would be conducive to growing more crops for an increasing global population.
The point is that nature is much more powerful than anything that we can ever possibly conceive. The earthquake and tsunami in Japan is a reminder of that.It also has incredible self-healing abilities. The Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster was supposed to creat environmental havoc for decades, yet after just a few years the effects were virtually non-existent. Even in the event of a nuclear holocaust the earth would eventually heal itself.
The study showing that this "green" technology is producing more of these so-called greenhouse gasses than their petroleum-based counterparts is both amusing, and further proof that the global warming/climate change movement is nothing more than a scam to redistribute wealth.
Electric cars may not be so green after all, says British study
An electric car owner would have to drive at least 129,000km before producing a net saving in CO2. Many electric cars will not travel that far in their lifetime because they typically have a range of less than 145km on a single charge and are unsuitable for long trips. Even those driven 160,000km would save only about a tonne of CO2 over their lifetimes.
The British study, which is the first analysis of the full lifetime emissions of electric cars covering manufacturing, driving and disposal, undermines the case for tackling climate change by the rapid introduction of electric cars.

Obama: "If I Don't Fix (Economy) In 3 Yrs....One-Term Proposition"
Posted by Brian
Words Mean Things: What Obama Said In January 2009
Three years ago President Obam sat down with Matt Lauer and discussed a range of topics, including the economy and Gitmo. The interview was held 10 days into his presidency, during which he make some of the following claims/promises"
Toward the end of the interview, Matt Lauer, ever the consumate tough-as-nails journalist, asks the toughest question of the night...about a peanut butter recall. Obama assures Lauer that a thorough review of the FDA will happen, and that "at bare minimum we should be able to count on our government keeping our kids safe when they eat peanut butter". Whew! I feel better knowing the Obama was at the helm during the 'Great 2008 Peanut Butter Recall'.
Words Mean Things: What Obama Said In January 2009
- Regarding the "recovery package", that there is "transparency and accountablility" and the "an independent board looks at these programs before the money goes out the door".
- False - In fact there was very little transparency, and we don't know, even now, where the money really went, other than to union slush funds and the auto bailout.
- "we're not going to be spending $4 trillion".
- True and False - We've spent over $5 Trillion dollars since Obama took office.
- On closing Gitmo - "It's the right thing to do. Ultimately it will make us safer"
- Promise Broken - Gitmo is still open.
- "If I don't have this done (turn the economy around) in 3 years, then there 's going to be a one-term proposition".
- After nearly 3 years - 9.1% unemployment, housing market in a double-dip recession, the Fed looking at a QE3. Accountability

Laugh or Cry?
h/t to The Blaze
The Media Research Center conducts a Leno-like man-on-the-street interviews in Washington D.C. to ask some basic civics questions (Who is the Vice President?) with embarrassing results. Sadly, a number of these folks cancel out the votes of the informed voters.
Wouldn't it be nice if a person had to pass a basic civics test before they could vote? If nothing else, we could be reasonably sure that the person voting has at least a concept of how our government works, and maybe even understands the people and issues they are voting for or against.

"Green" Mandates Costing Families $320 Annually
Posted by Brian
How do you drive a stake through the heart of an economy already struggling to bounce back from a global recession? Double down on inefficient, job-killing green technologies. While President Obama is destroying the coal and oil industries in the U.S., a former British Chancellor is sounding the warning to the British government that wind-farms and mandates on reducing carbon emissions will severely cripple their economy.
Hopefully, the blowback against the enviro-marxists has begun, and will migrate across the pond.
It's time this Government grew up over climate change, says Nigel Lawson
By Political Reporter
Last updated at 4:07 AM on 11th June 2011
The Coalition’s obsession with climate change is damaging Britain’s recovery from recession, former Tory chancellor Nigel Lawson warns today.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Lord Lawson delivers a scathing assessment of David Cameron’s so-called ‘green agenda’ and says it is ‘time this Government grew up’.
Lord Lawson, one of the most respected Tory figures of recent decades, accuses the Prime Minister of risking Britain’s economy to make a ‘symbolic’ point.
In a devastating verdict he writes: ‘The Government’s highly damaging decarbonisation policy, enshrined in the absurd Climate Change Act, does not have a leg to stand on. It is intended, at massive cost, to be symbolic: To make good David Cameron’s ambition to make his administration “the greenest government ever”.
‘My dictionary defines green as “unripe, immature, undeveloped”.’
His comments came after former Civil Service chief Lord Turnbull accused ministers and officials of pandering to global warming ‘alarmists’ and piling huge, unnecessary costs on ordinary families.

Study: Poverty breeds Jihadis Is BS
Posted by Brian
h/t to Infidels Are Cool
For the last 10-11 years, apologists for radical islamism have been spewing a number of lies about the causes of radical Islam. The causes have ranged from anger at U.S. retaliation for 9/11 to rampant poverty in many Middle Eastern countries. For "enlightened" liberals the notion that these behaviors could be caused by a violent interpretation of the Muslim religion itself is considered "Islamophobic".
That this is a surprise to anyone is actually more shocking to me, as a number of our home-grown Islamists are from backgrounds that are anything but poor. Adam Gadahn (born Adam Pearlman), an American who is now an al Qaeda operative comes from a middle to upper middle class background. John Walker, the American Taliban also comers from an upper middle class background. Bin Laden was a millionaire. As you go down the list of the 9/11 hijackers, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, you find doctors, lawyers, architects, and other highly educated and well-off individuals. Not the template that those in the media liberals portray, who is some poor bastard living in squallor in some third-world hell-hole.

A recent study, however, debunks the notion that poverty is a root cause for Islamism. In fact, those in poverty are less likely to sympathize with radical Islam, and in fact are more likely to be victims of this ideology.

The Pelosi Shuffle
Posted by Brian
America's Own Would-Be Eva Peron
Bob Schieffer grilled Nancy Pelosi on the economy and what, if any, plans the Democrats are proposing to right the fiscal ship. In classic Pelosi gibberish, she responded to Mr. Schieffer questions about the Democrat's legislative absenteeism with partisan non-answers, completely devoid of even an inkling of honesty, or of embarrassment. Even someone who doesn't follow politics could read through her rehearsed facial twitches and stuttering.
Getting visibly irritated with here rope-a-dope, Schieffer continued to press the oblivious Pelosi, asking why it wasn't fair for the GOP to bring up the failure of the President's policies, when Queen Pelosi and the Democrats hammered George Bush on sub-5% unemployment, $3/gal gas. And let's not forget how they actively attempted to undermine the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, which I believe was near seditious in nature. But I digress. With her perpetual wide-eyed, doing her best over-the hill Betty Boop, she didn't even blink (which may be botox related) as she explained that that was the past, and we need to focus on the future. Hypocrite anyone?

Dept. Of Education - Going Rambo
Posted by Brian
h/t to Mark Levin
The story of a federal SWAT team descending on a home in Stockton, CA is causing people to ask the question: "What in the hell is the Department of Education doing with their own SWAT team?" For that matter, how many other departments in the U.S. government have their own law enforcement arms? Has Congress specifically authorized these autonomous law enforcement teams, or is monies designated to the Department being diverted into these off-shoots?
I, for one would like to see somebody, anybody, in Congress open up a public investigation into finding out how many Departments have their own law enforcement, and why they exist. Why do they need them? Why are existing law enforcement agencies (FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Homeland Security, TSA, state and local agencies) not enough. Who controls these, apparently, secret law enforcement agencies?
The American people deserve to know about this group, and if there are any others out there.

Napolitano: Concentrating Terrorists Screening Efforts on Muslim Men Under 35 Not Good Logic
The questioner has forgotten a major piece of information in this exchange. Common sense in this Administration is non-existent. This is the same Janet Napolitano who has repeatedly told the American people that our Southern border has never been more secure, and who said with a straight face that security measures "worked" when passengers subdued a Nigerian man attempting to blow up an airliner over Detroit.
Napolitano, like the President and others in this Administration, is arrogant and dismissive of others, as her answer and her body language show. Typical of this bunch.

Coal Regs Would Kill Jobs, Boost Energy Bills

Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.
Overall, the rules aimed at making the air cleaner could cost the coal-fired power plant industry $180 billion, warns a trade group.

Thug Government: Have You Heard Of Obama's Little Covert War In Yemen?
Posted by Brian
President Obama, whom, along with nearly every other Democrat in both the House and the Senate, railed against President Bush for entering into a war with Iraq, has now committed military resources in two more countries. The first obviously, is Libya. Now, the New York Times is reporting that the U.S. is using drones in Yemen to conduct air strikes.
How about the cost of these wars? Wasn't that one of the battle cries of the left during the Bush year? How about getting Congressional approval? Funny, I don't recall any announcement from this Administration about committing any assets for military actions in Yemen. I do remember the leftists, both in and out of Congress, repeating the mantra that Bush didn't "declare war", even though he had gotten Congressional approval and funding prior to operations beginning. Yet we don't hear a word from the leftists about Obama not declaring war either in Libya, or in Yemen.
The Obama Administration is acting completely rogue. Congress should cut off any funding to military actions which are not directly related to either Afghanistan or Iraq. His promise of limited action (days or weeks) is now running into months. He has not even talked to the American public about Yemen. No plan. No justification. Nothing. John F. Kennedy had a little covert military action at one time, which mushroomed into the Vietnam War. Obama now has a ill-defined war in Libya, and some kind of covert war going on in Yemen? For what. We the American people want to know.
This is the same Obama who railed against President Bush for 6 years, attacking the Bush policies with speeches like this one that he read off his teleprompter in 2002 to a bunch of anti-war socialists in Chicago:
That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.
Now let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.
He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.
But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles...
And in the same speech:
I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the middle east, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda.
Mr. Obama, where is your clear rationale? Where is the imminent and direct threat to the United States? And, when did you plan on telling the American people?

That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.
Now let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.
He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.
But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles...
And in the same speech:
I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the middle east, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda.
Mr. Obama, where is your clear rationale? Where is the imminent and direct threat to the United States? And, when did you plan on telling the American people?

The Weiner Has Landed!
Posted by Brian
Released Photo Deflates Weiner
When you act like an elitist, treat people with disdain, and are an all-around jerk, the likelihood that people will refrain from releasing embarrassing stuff about you is about slim-to-none. For the dispicable Congressman Anthony Weiner, none just came in, courtesy of Andrew Breitbart, whom Weiner and the left was smearing over the previous week and a half. Looks like Breitbart gets the last laugh.
Gawker has posted the photo of the Weiner's weiner. Andrew Breitbart went on a shock jock program this morning and showed it to the hosts, which has since been obtained by Gawker.

Oh, how low the mighty, arrogant, condescending Weiner has sunk.

The New Obama Police State: Stalinist Tactics Used By Feds To Collect Student Loans?
Posted by Brian
h/t to The Blaze
Have you always thought that officers dressed in military-style gear busting through doors and dragging people out into the street in their underwear was something that you saw in the movies, or in black and white newsreel showing Soviet or Nazi soldiers rounding up dissidents?
Kenneth Wright of Stockton CA was probably wondering if he had woken up in the middle of a 'Twilight Zone' episode, the one where a racist Vic Morrow walks out of a bar and steps out into 1930's Nazi Germany, and is identified as Jewish. Except that he is in 2011, in the United States, is black, and his wife owes on a Federal student loan. For this, a S.W.A.T team shows up, busts down his door, drags him out in his underwear, terrorizes his three children, and holds him in the back of a police cruiser for six hours. In the end, they released him, as his estranged wife no longer even lives at the address. Oh, and they "fixed" his door by screwing a piece of plywood over the hole.
Folks, this is scary stuff. Yes his wife should pay off her loan. But to send a S.W.A.T. team at six in the morning!? A bigger question is this - Is this going to be the norm for federal law enforcement? I mean, where was the imminent threat to these officers that a paramilitary action was called for? What kind of treatment would the wife have been subjected to had she been home? Look at how Mr. Wright was treated, and he wasn't even the "target".
Who was it that issued the search warrant and called in S.W.A.T.? The Department of Education. Is this how the DOE is going to proceed in the future in collecting delinquent loans.
At the end of this video Mr. Wright tells everybody to make sure they pay their bills or this could happen to them. The tactic by the jackboots appears to have worked.
Maybe the feds ought to change the title of the department to the Department of Re-education.
