My question, we’re going through all the candidates, will we give Santorum his day in the sun?

Sony, director Kathryn Bigelow, and screenwriter Mark Boal will now have a full year to try and fix the damage done to this project after the attempt to politicize it created the kind of PR nightmare that can only bring death to the box office.
Over the past five years, a dozen-plus anti-war films have flopped at a 100% rate (Boal and Bigelow’s Oscar-winning “Hurt Locker” only grossed $17 million domestically — and in my opinion it did not look favorably on our military), and if that doesn’t prove the power New Media has to compete with and even defeat The Hollywood PR Machine, nothing does.
WASHINGTON – The prospect that countries such as China and Iran soon will have submarines trolling in waters in the Gulf of Mexico and up and down the East and West coasts of the United States is resurrecting concern over the security of oil and natural gas pipeline platforms in those areas, according to a report from Joseph Farah‘s G2 Bulletin.

In his latest campaign ad, Texas Gov. Rick Perry calls himself an “outsider.”
“I want to force Congress to balance the budget, and if they don’t, I say we cut their pay in half, send them home. Replacing one Washington insider with another won’t change a thing. If you want an outsider who will overhaul Washington, then I’m your guy.”

Imagine the frustration if you’d spent huge amounts of money on advertisements aimed at improving your image and it hadn’t helped one bit. Now you have an idea of how Rick Perry’s campaign must be feeling right now.
Perry will launch his third advertisement tomorrow, a spot that portrays him as an outsider with the spine needed to shake up Washington. That ad will run alongside his second ad, which takes President Obama to task for his “lazy” comment a few days ago. All told, he’ll spend $392,000 on the Iowa ads next week alone, according to a Republican source watching candidate ad campaigns.
(The new buy will include $165,000 on broadcast television in Des Moines, good for 900 gross ratings points; in Cedar Rapids, where he bought 700 points; and Sioux City, where he bought 600 points. Needless to say, those are very substantial buys. He’s also up with $182,000 on 10 cable channels in Iowa, including ESPN, CNN, TNT and the Discovery Channel, and with $44,000 in radio ads in five key markets.)

On November 2nd, Oakland police struck a peaceful Army Ranger who was supporting the Occupy protest with nightsticks on his back, ribs, shoulders and hands, lacerating his spleen and causing internal bleeding (and see this).
Video of the attack has just been released:
Witnesses say that the Ranger was totally peaceful and the attack was unprovoked. The end of the attack was not filmed, as the police quickly formed a barricade between the cameraman and the Ranger, pointing several guns at the filmmaker to get him to back off.

…In the 19th century, even though capitalism had only existed for a short time, and had just started putting a dent in pre-capitalism’s legacy of poverty, the vast, vast majority of Americans were already able to support their own lives through their own productive work. Only a tiny fraction of a sliver of a minority depended on assistance and aid–and there was no shortage of aid available to help that minority.
…
“Those in need,” historian Walter Trattner writes, “. . . looked first to family, kin, and neighbors for aid, including the landlord, who sometimes deferred the rent; the local butcher or grocer, who frequently carried them for a while by allowing bills to go unpaid; and the local saloonkeeper, who often came to their aid by providing loans and outright gifts, including free meals and, on occasion, temporary jobs. Next, the needy sought assistance from various agencies in the community–those of their own devising, such as churches or religious groups, social and fraternal associations, mutual aid societies, local ethnic groups, and trade unions.”
Perry Proposal for Part-time Congress Called Ludicrous
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 18 Nov 2011 | John Semmens
Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2011 1:52:32 PM by John Semmens
GOP presidential candidate Texas Governor Rick Perry’s suggestion that the country would be better off with a part-time Congress was assailed by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md).
“Mr. Perry’s notion that Americacould get along with less government is ludicrous,” Hoyer asserted. “If we only spend half the time governing this country, we’d only be able to do half as much. That would mean half the spending, half the taxing, and half the regulating. I don’t think the American people would stand for that.”
Hoyer’s assessment was backed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif).
“Governor Perry doesn’t understand the importance of our work if he thinks we can do it in half the time,” Pelosi argued. “If he had his way, people would be cut adrift from the nurturing and guidance government provides and left to fend for themselves. Taking care of Americans is a full time job. To think otherwise is just nuts.”
Confident as they are in the absurdity of Perry’s proposal, both Hoyer and Pelosi have declined invitations to publicly debate the issue with him face-to-face. “That would give credence to an idea that everyone who truly understands how government works knows is out-of-bounds,” Pelosi said.
As of 2008, Newt Gingrich’s position on the science of global warming was essentially the same as Al Gore’s. True, he was advocating supposedly “conservative” solutions, as opposed to Gore’s expressly UN-oriented agenda. And of course no one is capable of sounding as moronically maniacal as Gore. Nevertheless, regarding the basic ‘theory’—that human activity is leading to a significant and potentially catastrophic alteration of Earth’s climate—they were absolutely of one mind.

Seton Hall Constitutional L.J. 2001, 685
ARE COPS CONSTITUTIONAL?
Roger Roots*
ABSTRACT
Police work is often lionized by jurists and scholars who claim to employ “textualist” and “originalist” methods of constitutional interpretation. Yet professional police were unknown to the United States in 1789, and first appeared in America almost a half-century after the Constitution’s ratification. The Framers contemplated law enforcement as the duty of mostly private citizens, along with a few constables and sheriffs who could be called upon when necessary. This article marshals extensive historical and legal evidence to show that modern policing is in many ways inconsistent with the original intent of America’s founding documents. The author argues that the growth of modern policing has substantially empowered the state in a way the Framers would regard as abhorrent to their foremost principles.

Like her or not, there can be no argument that Ann Coulter didn’t predict the actions, tactics and results of the Occupy Wall Street movement in her book “Demonic.”
In her very well written history of the real story of the insanity and mob-driven French Revolution, she could easily be describing the actions of the current OWS movement. The similarities between OWS and the Arab Spring movements to install radical Islamic theocracies are also well illustrated.

POLICE AS A STANDING ARMY
It is largely forgotten that the war for American independence was initiated in large part by the British Crown‘s practice of using troops to police civilians in Boston and other cities.244 Professional soldiers used in the same ways as modern police were among the primary grievances enunciated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. (“[George III] has kept among us standing armies”; “He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power”; “protecting them, by a mock trial….”).245 The duties of such troops were in no way military but involved the keeping of order and the suppression of crime (especially customs and tax violations)…..

Re: “Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking the first time I heard Santorum‘s comments. This charade can’t go on for ever, but it sure looks like our leaders and the media are following some conspiratorial script.” Mike L., I have sensed something very close to a conspiracy regarding the blanket of silence being thrown over discussion of Obama‘s obviously fraudulent past, but for a while, didn’t believe it since I generally am not one who believes in conspiracies. However, I sense that someone is leaning on the media, Congress, and anyone else in a position of influence who would be in a position to question Obama’s bona fides. Who? Your guess is as good as mine. However, it would have to be someone or something with “lots of juice” (as the mob would say), because it takes serous muscle to shut down dozens upon dozens of media outlets, members of Congress, the courts, et al.
Police Pepper-Spray Seated Protesters At UC Davis [VIDEO]
Business Insider ^ | November 19, 2011 | Henry Blodget
Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2011 11:29:28 AM by Kevin in California
University police tore down tents at UC Davis yesterday afternoon, arresting 8 students in the process, Xeni Jardin of Boing Boing reports. At one point, to clear a path to reach students that they had already arrested, they pepper-sprayed a line of seated, quiet protesters. This video, which shows the pepper-spraying, is going viral. This comment, from venture capitalist Chris Sacca, sums up what lots of people who watch it are thinking: Seriously. Right now. Stop what you are doing, watch this video, and reflect on what it means to be American.
Like a schoolyard bully, President Barack Obama is flexing American military muscle as he currently sweeps through the Asia-Pacific region. The nominal impetus for the tour was the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit held in Hawaii last week. But rather than discussing “economics” (the E in APEC), the salient focus for Obama and his entourage appears to be “war” – and in particular laying down battle lines to China.
Testy relations with China is nothing new for Washington given recent months of US haranguing over trade and finance, but what Obama’s bombast signals is a sinister ramping up of the militarist agenda towards Beijing.
We are seeing the classic battle for control and power by the Obama regime and international forces behind him. It is the same evil force that inspired the legendary, Roman Empire that emerged as a super power, thousands of years ago. We all remember Ben Hur and the famous Gladiators. They almost seem now days like a fable or movie script in history. Instead, the Romans were wealthy, dominating and vicious. They were known for attacking and destroying any independent voices who rose up. Thousands of Christians were tortured, burned, hung on crosses and fed to the Lions. Belief in Jesus meant that the Romans as the ultimate power source were threatened.

JONESBORO, Ga. (CBS Atlanta) – Police charge two caregivers at a Jonesboro facility with waterboarding an 89-year-old woman.
Clayton County police said Jermeller Steed and Cicely Reed held down Anna Foley after an argument that started over ice cream.
They’re said to have allegedly held down Foley in a locked shower room, flooding her face with the hand-hold shower nozzle in 2008.
According to WGCL-TV, Foley was undergoing treatment at the facility for dementia. A co-worker witnessed the event and blew the whistle.
The technique slowly drowns subjects by blocking the air passages with flowing water while the subject is immobilized.
A lot of people were puzzled about what German Chancellor Angela Merkel meant when she recently stated that the ultimate solution to the financial crisis in the EU would “mean more Europe, not less Europe”. Well, now we are finding out.

I don’t know why, but something tells me that it’s not a smart thing to punch a police horse in the face in front of several officers. Just a thought.
The punch comes at thirty-three in the video by a man with a blue coat and a red beanie. All of a sudden you’ll see his arm come sideways and the horse’s head jerk backwards…
At the beginning of the video you can see other protesters either yelling at the officers or yelling at the horses. Protesters then rush at the officers, but pretend that they’re not doing anything wrong by putting their hands in the air like imbeciles. At twenty-six seconds you can see one such moron take a Pau Gasol-esque flop.

All that U.N. bashing has raised questions about whether a Republican victory could strain the relationship between the United Nations and its host country, the United States.

What Is a Progressive

Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2011 6:09:46 AM by Kaslin
When is the last time you heard a liberal describe himself as a “liberal”? It’s probably been a long time. These days, those on the left are more likely to call themselves “progressives.”
Writing in The New York Times, Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs said there have been two progressive eras — one in the early 20th century and the second under Franklin Roosevelt. He called on modern liberals to usher in a third era.
But what exactly is “progressivism”? To many people, the term “Progressive Era” evokes fond caricatures of Teddy Roosevelt and such reforms as safe food, the elimination of child labor and the eight-hour work day. Yet real progressivism was far more sinister. Here is how Jonah Goldbergdescribes the World War I presidency of Woodrow Wilson:
Walking through doorways causes forgetting, new research shows
University of Notre Dame ^ | November 18, 2011
Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2011 9:43:57 AM by decimon
We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or find.
New research from University of Notre Dame Psychology Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses. “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains.
“Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized.”

While necessity is the mother of invention, sloth and envy beget mediocrity and upheaval – the twin siblings of secular-socialism.
It is in this vein that a rebellious and increasingly violent spirit of incoherent anarchy continues to fester in urban centers across the nation. This is most evident in the form of the envy-driven “Occupy wherever” nonsense embraced by the “progressive” establishment.
Still, this Obama-supported effort to supplant, through lawless imposition, our free-market constitutional republic with some misguided conception of an outcome-based equalitocracy is rooted in much more than just good old-fashioned class warfare.
Tabloids sometimes get the story right, such as when the National Enquirer exposed the love child of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

In defending his latest television ad, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday continued his attack strategy against President Barack Obama and emphatically called him a “socialist.”
“Absolutely,” Perry said in an interview on Fox News. “I think Barack Obama is a socialist.”
Conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly was the latest to question the presidential candidate over the validity of his new TV ad, which claims Obama believes Americans are lazy.
The spot, broadcast in Iowa and nationwide on cable, showed a clip of Obama saying, “We’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades.”
In the ad, Perry said: “Can you believe that? That’s what our president thinks is wrong with America? That Americans are lazy? That’s pathetic. It’s time to clean house in Washington.”

Nancy Pelosi Wants A Federal Babysitting Service
Michael Brendan Dougherty
Nov. 18, 2011, 1:30 PM
Image: AP
Buried in a Washington Post story about Herman Cain calling Nancy Pelosi, “Princess Nancy” is a new policy idea that Pelosi has been pitching recently during her short tour through California.
“One of the great pieces of unfinished business is high-quality child care; I wonder why we just can’t do that,’’ she recently said to a California audience.
By “we”, Pelosi means the federal government. Pelosi clarified that Congress should be “doing for child care what we did for health-care reform.”
The Post characterizes Pelosi as touting the economic and social benefits of government child-sitting:
When it comes to “unleashing women” in a way that would boost the economy, she says, “this is a missing link.”
According to Pelosi, the babysitting market — one of the last unregulated sectors of the American economy — is broken.
“I could never get a babysitter — have five kids in six years and no one wants to come to your house. . . . And everywhere I go, women say the same thing,” she said.
This is an odd thing for Pelosi to be hearing since her San Francisco district has more dogs than children.

VINTON, Iowa — Steve and Cindy Anders belong to one of Iowa’s most politically savvy movements — Christian home-schoolers, whose organizing on behalf of Mike Huckabee in 2008 was one of the secrets behind his upset victory in the state’s Republican caucuses.
This year, the Anderses are behind Representative Ron Paul of Texas, who supports drastically shrinking the federal government and closing the Education Department.
In a year when the Republican field is unusually fractured, with front-runners coming around as often as carousel ponies, Mr. Paul’s ability to mobilize niche groups like home-schoolers may make a big difference. His campaign, which has won a number of straw polls and is picking up momentum, has demonstrated its ability to organize and mobilize supporters, which is particularly relevant in Iowa, where relatively small numbers can tip the scales in the caucuses.

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington.
“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!” – Samuel Adams.
By the “U.S. Government” I mean the globalist traitors and evil banksters who hijacked America in 1913, and killed President John F. Kennedy in 1963. These power hungry tyrants come from a worst place in hell than Stalin and Mao. Their political program for America and humanity is more evil and authoritarian than anything else that’s been done in history.
The globalist terrorists who control Washington, London, Ottawa, Paris, and other Western capitals have killed upwards of two million innocent people in Iraq from 1991 to 2011. Everything in that nation has been destroyed except the people’s will to fight and resist.

BELLE GLADE — Authorities say dozens of cats that sneaked into a South Florida prison will be found new homes before the facility closes next month.
As many as 80 cats have burrowed under fences and taken up residence at the state-run prison in Belle Glade. Prisoners have been feeding the animals, even though rules prohibit that.

The Federal Law Enforcement Foundation gave Texas Governor Rick Perry its State Service Award Friday.
“As much as I appreciate this recognition, it pales in comparison to the appreciation I have for those who live by that solemn oath to protect and defend and to serve,” said Perry.
The Republican presidential hopeful told the crowd of local and federal law enforcement leaders that he would secure the U.S.-Mexican border in the first year of a Perry presidency.
“I will secure the border with thousands of new border agents, a substantial increase in strategic fencing, and aviation assets that will provide real-time intelligence to officers on the ground,” said Perry.
He also hit on how he would fix Washington by limiting federal judges to no longer having lifetime appointments, getting rid of three federal agencies and giving Congress an overhaul.
“Cut their pay in half, cut their budgets in half, and cut the time they spend in Washington in half and America will be better off,” said Perry.
Perry launched his plan this week, the same week he began airing an attack on President Barack Obama.
“We’ve been a little bit lazy over the past couple of decades,” says Obama in the ad, which Perry slams.
“Do you believe that? That’s what our president thinks is wrong with America,” says Perry.
In an exclusive interview with NY1 Friday, the Texas governor defended the ad even though others have criticized the TV spot because Obama was talking about foreign investment, not necessarily all Americans.
“That is a direct affront to the American people,” said Perry. “We need a president that’s proud of America,” said Perry.

It is the debate that has been raging between generations of science fiction fans.
But Star Trek star William Shatner believed he had delivered the coup de grace two months ago when he delivered a stinging critique he thought proved his franchise was superior.
But there is a new hope for Star Wars fans, as original cast member Carrie Fisher has struck back with a rebuke that could return the Jedi-filled universe back to prominence.
In a somewhat rambling YouTube video, the Princess Leia star let rip on the rival sci fi favourite.
She said: ‘They are not in the same league. i mean they have the word star in the title, and there is space travel.
‘Where do they go to, Klingon? It just sounds like a laundry detergent.’
The successful actress and author had a list of grievances with the television and movie franchise that she said made it inferior, including lacklustre visuals, make-up, toys and video games.
She said: ‘Show me a special effect, maybe they are just effects, they are not called special effects.
Islamist: We sparked violent protests in America

A leader of the jihad that has kept Afghanistan in turmoil for years says the violent “Occupy” protests across the United States are an outgrowth of his movement.
The claim comes from Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, chief of Hizb-e-Islami Afghanistan, in a recent article in the Pashtu-language Pakistani daily Wrazpanra Wahdat.
“We can say with full confidence that the latest spring in Africa and the Arab world and the uprising in Europe and the United States is the effect of Afghan jihad on [an] international level and all these revolutions have gotten inspiration from our [faithful] mujahideen and their resistance,” he wrote.
UN bashing is popular among Republican candidates (Perry a loud critic)

….Rick Perry says he would consider pulling the United States out of the U.N. altogether.
….One of the loudest U.N. critics among the candidates is Perry, the Texas governor who has recently slipped in the polls. “I think it’s time for us to have a very serious discussion about defunding the United Nations,” he declared in October.
Romney, the former Massachusettsgovernor, in 2007 characterized U.N. failures as “simply astonishing” but has been more measured during the current campaign.
U.N. supporters say that when the candidates bash the world organization, they are simply playing to the most conservative Republicans: the primary voters and caucus-goers needed early in the electoral contest.
“My sense is that if any of them were to be elected president, they would quickly realize that the U.N. serves American interests,” said PeterYeo, vice president for publicpolicy of the U.N. Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the world body’s work.
“They would find a way to constructively work within the U.N. system,” Yeo added.
Detractors say that the candidates are just being truthful.
“I wouldn’t call it U.N. bashing; I’d call it U.N. realism,” said Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. “I think the issue for the United States is what to do to make the U.N. more effective, and the answer to that has to lie in how it is funded.”
