Big Sis Breaks Out “Heightened” Terror Alert As PATRIOT ACT Extension Heads Back To House Floor

Also noteworthy is the fact that several representatives who ran on a Tea Party platform actually voted FOR the extension to the PATRIOT Act yesterday.

Slate’s Dave Weigel notes that high profile Tea Partyers like Michele Bachmann, Kristi Noem, and Allen West all voted for the extension.

I break this out because there’ll be a temptation to say ‘the Tea Party and its isolationist elements beat the reauthorization,’ and that’s not quite it,” he writes.

In addition, Ryan Hecker, a Houston lawyer and tea-party organizer, told the Wall Street Journal he believes the act has helped curb terrorism and “the movement should remain agnostic.”

Mubarak: I Am an Arab Warrior, Not a Community Organizer

 

The Corner ^ | 10 February 2011 | Barry RubinPosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 5:28:44 PM by SE Mom

 

This is a huge lesson in political culture. It also shows just how bad the media coverage has been. Mubarak is not resigning. He’s managing the “reform” process. He is appointing a committee to study constitutional changes. He will decide when there are elections. He is going to “consider” changing the emergency law.

He basically said: I am an Arab warrior, not a community organizer. That speech should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the Middle East.This is not over yet.

There has been no revolution so far, but the protesters are going to freak out. If Obama has been interpreted as applauding real and major change, either he didn’t know what Mubarak was going to say or he is going to look like a total fool.When Mubarak said he won’t accept outside advice, that was a direct slap at Obama.

Can you imagine the expression on Obama’s face as he watched the speech after being told by his intelligence that Mubarak resigned? After he made a speech about how the youth had forced change? If I had to summarize it, tabloid-style, I’d say: “Mubarak to Obama: Drop Dead!“The regime is not giving in — Mubarak will leave office, perhaps in September, but the regime will fight on.

The speech was the equivalent of Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood saying: Come and get me!

course, we should not forget that this is a dictator refusing to step down. Mubarak and the army knew that this would inflame the crowd. The army would not have agreed to this unless it was willing to deal with the consequences.

Abraham Lincoln is attributed with the following:”You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”Clearly he had Democrats in mind.

Obama knows he can fool Democrats and the press all of the time. Sometimes they even fool themselves.Obama knows well he got hammered in the recent election. Consequently, he sought to change his image and enlisted the assistance of a number of people. He has sought help on his “reinvention” from CEO’s, Ken Duberstein and David Gergen and Reagan biographer Lou Cannon. and has been reading the biography of Ronald Reagan.You’ve got to hand it to Obama.

He knew that as soon as he consulted with Reagan’s biographer, read Reagan’s biography and consulted with people who knew Reagan that the useful idiots in the press would fall over themselves comparing Obama to Reagan.

The Obama-Piven-Palin Strategy

The Next Right ^ | 11/14/2010 | Adam SelenePosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 1:12:44 PM by

GarthVaderObama associated with Marxists and other lefty radicals when he was young. This is not controversial.

The real question is whether he still associates with such radical riff-raff today, or worse, is secretly carrying out their nefarious plans.

In one case the answer is: we can only hope so.I am referring to the infamous Cloward-Piven Strategy, an undemocratic plan to force a basic income guarantee by overloading the welfare system with applicants.

Obama, RINOs, and the Media are Destroying America

Atlah Media Network ^ | Feb 10, 2011 | Michael MasterPosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 1:05:42 PM by bronkburnett

The Republican leaders think that their deal with Obama to cut $100 Billion from the current budget is a big deal. It is less than 3% of the current budget and less than 7% of the deficit. The Republican leadership failed and the new Tea Party Republicans are angry about it…Obama has failed continually for the last two years.

His administration is dysfunctional. His policies have divided America rather than unite America. His czars are unconstitutional.

His appointments like Van Jones are horrible. Obamacare could be unconstitutional because of mandatory insurance. He did not keep unemployment under 8% as he promised.

He did not withdraw from Iraq or close Gitmo in the time frames that he promised. Iran and North Korea are more of threats today than they were two years ago. He supports the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The deficit was increased by more than a trillion dollars with no results. And the media and Republican leadership continue to allow him to get away with it.Barack Hussein Obama is destroying America………………………..

A federal judge in Florida recently ruled that the entire health care law is unconstitutional – a ruling Judge Roger Vinson described as “the functional equivalent of an injunction.”

But that hasn’t stopped the Obama administration from spending hundreds of millions of dollars authorized by the disputed law.On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a $750 million investment in prevention and public health — funded through the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which was created by the new health care law.

Bill O’Reilly bashes ‘nutty’ birthers

 

WND ^ | February 10, 2011 | Joe KovacsPosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 11:40:08 AM by RobinMasters

Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly took a jab at those seeking proof of Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility for president this week by referring to them as “nutty.”

The comment came in a response to a viewer who watched the top-rated cable host’s interview with Obama on Super Bowl Sunday.The letter stated, “Bill, thanks for winning me $100. I bet a friend you would not ask Obama about his birth certificate, and you didn’t.”O’Reilly responded to Harris by saying with a grin, “Let me get this straight, Ed. You found someone who bet you a hundred bucks that I would ask the president about the nutty birth-certificate stuff.

Can you please send me that person’s name? I would like to do business with this guy.”

Barbarism the New National Norm?

Townhall ^ | 2/10/2011 | Marybeth HicksPosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 10:00:44 AM by chickadee

Civility is making the headlines lately, but if you dig a bit deeper, barbarism is the real story.To wit: Last month, MSNBC.com carried this story from Reno, NV: “Six girls arrested for Facebook ‘Attack a Teacher Day’ invite.”

One middle school girl was arrested for inviting 100 fellow middle schoolers on the social networking site to participate in something she called “attack a teacher day,” while five other girls were arrested for responding to the invitation with threats against specific teachers.<—snip—>

I hate to be the one to burst our national bubble about the potential for greater civility, but we’re rearing a generation that seems to have no concept that there are things you just don’t do or say.

The Collapse of the Middle East

From Sea to Shining Sea ^ | 2/10/11 | Purple MountainsPosted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 7:49:30 AM by PurpleMountains

I’m going to harp on one theme for a while: that Barack Obama is deliberately trying to weaken and punish the USA and our European allies to pay them and us back for colonialism, because he identifies with his father, a militant anti-colonialist.

‘s article provides additional evidence for this point of view, and it is the only point of view that squares with all of Obama’s inexplicable actions – like telling NASA that their main mission is to lift Muslim self-esteem.
