John Murtha was WRONG when Murtha Took On The Iraq War in 2005 --- The anti-Iraqi Democrat, anti-Participatory Islam, and anti-Iraq war movement died with John Murtha -- "Because the Surge Worked the American DEMOCRAT Party was proven WRONG yet again"
According to Sam Stein writing in the Huffington Post:
"The surge had worked.” -- DEMOCRATS ARE WIMPS.<< MORE >>
Permits Approved For $6B Coal Power Plant In Rural Virginia - the far-Left goes nuts.

“Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?”

THE SURGE WORKED - According to iCasualties, during the entire month of January 2010 - TWO KILLED - total (2) - TWO killed in ALL of Iraq for the ENTIRE MONTH - (31 days) - the enemy killed TWO U.S. soldiers in all of Iraq in JANUARY
The Iraq war has proven the far-Left to be racists.
The Iraqi Democrats are doing a great job. Most on the far-Left still believe in January 2010 that the Iraqi Democrats and Iraq are an inherent disaster that simply must be abandoned so "those people" can have "their" civil war.
Even worse, many on the far-Left still believe that "average Iraqi Muslims" are "too stupid" to make democracy and participatory Islam work.
That's racism.

The U.S. Department of Labor is worthless because the employment figures were WRONG by almost 1,000,000 jobs. Or are DC Democrats working inside the Labor Department to support Obama?
Unemployment much, much, much higher than reported. << MORE >>
"We can't go first," Senator Reid said. Translation from Liberal into English: Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is Nancy Pelosi's objective. Nancy Pelosi believes the ends justify the means
Nancy Pelosi is JAMMING health-care reform down the throats of the American people<< MORE >>
Yet again, it is the Canadian who is traveling to the USA for first class health care. This time a Canadian Governor no less...
If the USA adopts Obamacare, where do average Americans fly to when their lives are on the line?
Canada?
Hello!!!
Not even the Governors in Canada use the crappy Canadian health-care system! This Canadian Governor is sitting in a New Jersey hospital TONIGHT recovering from heart surgery preformed in the U.S.A. by U.S. doctors!<< MORE >>
President Obama in The State of the Union: "As a candidate, I promised that I would end the Iraq war, and that is what I am doing as president." How is the Iraq war ending? Iraq is a SUCCESS yet Obama won't utter the word 'success'
The Iraq war has proven the far-Left to be racists. For example, most on the far-Left still believe in January 2010 that the Iraqi Democrats and Iraq are an inherent disaster that simply must be abandoned so "those people" can have "their" civil war. Even worse, many on the far-Left still believe that "average Iraqi Muslims" are "too stupid" to make participatory Islam work. That's racism. << MORE >>
According to Richard Cohen writing in the Washington Post: "I will also throw Barack Obama into the mix [with John Edwards & Sarah Palin], not because I know something nefarious about him but because I realize more and more that I know so little about him
John Edwards = Sarah Palin = Barack Obama = LIGHTWEIGHTS! Holy Crap. This is coming from a Liberal icon.<< MORE >>
Fiasco: 'Health Care Reform' -- Why is the far-Left willing to 'die politically' in 2010 for 'health care reform'? -- Why is Paul Begala begging Congress to JAM thru 'health care reform'? What is the real objective? Where's the hidden political payoff?
Here's the real progressive strategy:
* Jam at least 51% of American voters into an underclass dependent on government-run health care;
* Massive immigration into the USA of uneducated, poor people, swelling the far-Left of Democrat party ranks;
* Institute card check, forcing unionization of American industry;
* Universal voter registration imposed top down from Washington DC; so that Democrats never lose a close election again (To stuff ballot boxes, Democrat poll workers always have to have more registered voters than votes cast; that's how Franken beat Coleman. In the new, far-left America, a Scott Brown would be toast; no matter what the voters wanted)<< MORE >>
FINALLY, a well prepared conservative clashes with a prosecutorial Leftist, taking on Christiane Amanpour over torture. Amanpour’s torture narrative was crushed by Marc Thiessen in this video. Two weeks ago, Jon Stewart’s torture narrative was crushed
According to Human Events:
Sparks flew on CNN’s Amanpour, when conservative author Marc Thiessen directly challenged the CNN’s chief international correspondent with evidence that she had misled her viewers about the CIA’s waterboarding techniques. A stunned Amanpour was left momentarily speechless as Thiessen pulled out a transcript from a 2008 CNN broadcast from the Khmer Rouge prison S-21, where Amanpour had stood before a picture of Khmer Rouge torturers drowning an innocent Cambodian in a vat of water, and declared that the CIA had done the same thing to terrorists in its custody.<< MORE >>
"In Iraq, security tastes like honey. If Iraqis taste it, they get addicted to it, and it will be difficult for any armed group to come back.” January 2010
Average Iraqis have fully turned against the insurgents.
The Iraq war is now in the slow grind and last phase of the War of the Flea. Rumsfeld was off by only fifteen years. Five more years to grind down the remaining holdouts.<< MORE >>
Behind closed doors and in secret Democrat party meetings, Obama has quietly, politically, slaughtered Bill and Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton stands alone. Smart Corporate Democrats are TOAST; radicals have taken over.
Democrat party feminism is dead, under the jackboots of Obama’s team. The Democrat party establishment is to blame. Interestingly, there are two dead bodies: Hillary’s and Palin’s. If you are a woman in America and you voted for Obama in 2008, shame on you. Shame!
<< MORE >>
How progressives attack - 1) depend on the Republican candidates having NOT done their homework; 2) use the Democrat party machine to steal votes; and 3) know the media will hammer any conservative gaffe for days and weeks
According to FiveThirytEight:
"On the heels of last week's retirement announcements by Senators Chris Dodd and Bryon Dorgan, and Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, it's natural to wonder which other Democrats might follow them into the Great Cloak Room in the Sky. And few Democrats are more vulnerable than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid."<< MORE >>

Holy crap - Obama wants to force 401k's and IRA's into government bonds... The Observer is not joking. No less than Brookings is in the vanguard selling this stupid +ss idea.
Why force people into bonds when interest rates are at historic lows and inflation is just kicking in? Unless you want to turn them into indentured, government servants or worse, Democrat voters?
Or saps, soaking up massive Democrat government over spending?<< MORE >>

The Wall Street Liberal Ben Bernanke just SLAMED Fannie and Freddie, blaming the crash on corruption at Fannie and Freddie
"The government wants taxpayers to think that Fannie and Freddie are profit-seeking companies being nursed back to health, like AIG. But at least AIG is trying to make money. Fan and Fred are now designed to lose money, transferring wealth from renters and homeowners to over extended borrowers."<< MORE >>
THE SURGE WORKED - According to iCasualties, during the entire month of December 2009 - ZERO KILLED - total (0) - ZERO killed in ALL of Iraq for the ENTIRE MONTH - (31 days) - the enemy killed ZERO U.S. soldiers in all of Iraq in December
In December 2009, the Iraq war is won --- ZERO killed in ALL Iraq by the enemy in December, 2009.<< MORE >>
According to NBC News: "President Obama has ordered increased use of 'behavioral detection specialists' at airports" -- Oh, sister, 'behavioral detection specialists' are PROFILERS
Translation from liberal into English: Obama just ordered massive PROFILING!!! African American activists have been railing for the last 70 years that 'PROFILING' was unconstitutional. --
Irony of ironies, President Obama, the first American Profiler in Chief --

December 2009, a new, far-Left, FALSE, Iraq war narrative – “No one was liberated in Iraq because the Bushie Neocons empowered Shiite fundamentalism and killed 2,000,000 Iraqi children on purpose with bombs that only kill Muslim children”
Iraqi government official death toll made public -- the Iraqi Human Rights Ministry said 85,694 people were killed from the beginning of 2004 to Oct. 31, 2008, and 147,195 were wounded with almost all of the 85,000 killed by AQI and JAM<< MORE >>
According to the Wall Street Journal: “Iranian troops crossed the Iraqi border and took control of an oil field in southeastern Iraq.” Why are the Iranians so off their game? Why do the mullah’s keep making strategic mistake after, strategic mistake?
"An official of the state-owned South Oil Company in told Agence France Presse that Iranian forces took control of Well 4 in the Fauqa Field, part of a cluster of fields Iraq unsuccessfully put up for auction to oil majors in June."<< MORE >>
Eco-Thugs rule the Copenhagen Conference yet most Americans are clueless that under Obama's Wall Street Liberalism, Moderates are 'Tax Slaves'
Obama delivers a ‘dead fish speech’ at Copenhagen while global, national democratic socialists demand to loot and rape the United States economy into poverty -- "Then President Chavez brought the house down. When he said there was a 'silent and terrible ghost in the room' and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening."<< MORE >>
Michigan is the bluest of blue states and the far-Left democrats who run Michigan can do nothing well. For example, the state of Michigan built “The Pontiac Silverdome” for $220 million and the state just sold it to a Canadian for $583,000. NO JOKE.
The democrat party has had a 60 year a strangle hold on the state of Michigan. Because of one party rule, the taxpayers of Michigan managed to lose $219,417,000.00 of a $220,000,000.00 investment in The Pontiac Silverdome..<< MORE >>
Sen. Kent Conrad (DEMOCRAT – North Dakota) was duped. Conrad is clueless. Consider breast cancer; a woman in the US who contracts the disease is twice as likely to survive it as a woman in England or Germany.
According to the New York Post:
"Sen. Kent Conrad (DEMOCRAT –North Dakota) was duped by a bag-of-tricks report from the Commonwealth Fund (Health Affairs, vol. 27, no. 1, 2008). This put America in 19th place due to our nation's large number of preventable deaths -- meaning deaths from diseases that are curable if treated soon enough. Most of these deaths are caused by heart disease and circulatory diseases. The United States has a high incidence because for 50 years Americans were the heaviest smokers and now are among the most obese. Bad behavior, not bad medicine, is to blame. Our health-care system treats these diseases very effectively."<< MORE >>

Wall Street Liberals are the most arrogant yet stupid pricks on earth -– “Make socialism a reality by talking to the public, make the idea look reasonable, make the need seem urgent, knock its opponents off balance,” from the Huffington Post.
KILL THE BILL -- CALL YOUR SENATORS --
According to the Washington Post:
"Democrats lose fourth congressman to retirement -
House Democrats got a jolt Monday when a fourth lawmaker in a matter of weeks announced his retirement, leaving party officials and strategists fearful that they represent the leading edge of a wave of departures"<< MORE >>

"He was swift-boated," said Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink -- Meanwhile, back on earth, America was swift-boated by a bunch of Wall Street Liberals
Observer bottom-line:
A ton of Corporate Democrats think they re-elected Bill Clinton, Part Two. These younger (35 to 45) businessmen and investors are in for a huge shock when they realize they have grossly over-paid, too late, in 2011… In 2012, if Obama is another Carter, these democrats will realize they have grossly over-paid for stocks and other assets. Corporate democrats will be hanging on by their over-leveraged finger nails!<< MORE >>
ABC News is broadcasting: ""Last Tuesday, using a missile fired from a drone, Obama had Saleh al-Somali assassinated."" Fortunately, Eric Holder was keeping a close eye on the missile's conduct in it's treatment of al-Somali
Just before the missile hit al-Somali in the head, his far-left, 'progressive' lawyer told al-Somali to scream 'torture' if the missile became vigorous during questioning.<< MORE >>
In November 2009, Iraqi Civilian casualties hit lowest level since 2003 -- the far-Left still FALSELY claims 2,000,000 Iraqis were killed when the actual number is 85,694 killed with the vast majority of the 85,000 murdered by AQI and JAM
According to John Tirman writing in Editor & Publisher on February 14, 2008 –
“600,000 Iraqi Deaths Since U.S. Invasion”<< MORE >>
Climategate is so much fun. Review the newly released 'Greenland Ice Charts' which are destroying Al Gore's billion dollar fraud.
To all our readers who are environmental zealots, please don't organize anymore 'direct action' protests [i.e. threaten little old ladies] in front of our Manhattan offices because there are plenty of liberals who work in this building too! << MORE >>
Whenever a government bails someone out of trouble, the government, at the very same moment, always puts someone else into trouble.
Governments create nothing, governments just redistribute... and governments redistribute mostly trouble.
Whenever a government bails someone out of trouble, the government, at the very same moment, always put someone else into trouble. However, it is worse than a zero sum game because the Government charges a fee. For example, $100 billion in bailout requires at least $130 billion in taxes, where the $30 billion extra is the cost of government "managing" the bailout program. << MORE >>
Gangster Socialism (formerly known as Wall Street Liberalism or far-left Fascism)
An economics professor at a local college made the statement that he had never failed a single student… but he had once failed an entire class thanks to gangster socialism.<< MORE >>
Tiger Woods is an idiot. Guys like this are so stupid it is scary. Married to an awesome woman, kids involved, family to hurt and these guys are cruel at the core with a massive layer of stupid slathered on top. Tiger, you are now Mark Sanford
According to Tiger Woods:
“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.”<< MORE >>
During the entire month of November 2009 - TWO KILLED - total (2) - two killed in ALL of Iraq for the ENTIRE MONTH - (30 days) - the enemy killed two – THE SURGE WORKED
The Iraq war has proven the far-Left to be racists.
For example, the press fails to cite 2 killed by the enemy in Iraq in November 2009 or that Iraqi civilian casualties have hit a six year LOW.
Most on the far-Left still believe in November 2009 that the Iraqi Democrats and Iraq are an inherent disaster that simply must be abandoned so "those people" can have "their" civil war. Even worse, many on the far-Left still believe that "average Muslims" are "too stupid" to make democracy and participatory Islam work.
That's racism. << MORE >>
Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat from Vermont, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday: “There is no need to interrogate bin Laden”
The stress of 12 months in power has caused the Democrats to lose their collective minds, including the President, Senate Leadership and most members of the House --- The Fort Hood terrorist attack was the first attack on American soil since September 11, 2001, which means that Obama was not able to do what Bush did for eight years.
<< MORE >>
Barack Hussein Obama actually said to Chuck Todd of NBC, “I don't think it will be offensive at all when Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him.” VIDEO
President Obama, if federal court is a 'fool proof' place for trying unrepentant terrorists, why is Bill Ayers not in prison?

Nouriel Roubini: “The worst is yet to come: Unemployed Americans should hunker down” --- Umm, umm, umm Obama!
Indie Voters caused this Obama mess and should be flogged twice a day with wet bathroom towels for the rest of their lives...<< MORE >>
According to Ernesto Londono writing in the Washington Post: “Was the Iraq war worth it?” --- The troops say, YES and, remember, the troops are the informed American vote, not the far-Left -- THE SURGE WORKED
Even the left-wing Washington Post is forced by cold, hard facts into printing POSITIVE banner headlines about Iraq in 2009,
“Not perfect, but good enough to leave.”
Because the Iraqi Democrats defied the far-Left and defeated the terrorists in Iraq, the American far-Left deeply despise average Iraqis.
Never forget, the American far-Left are proven bigots who hate the Iraqi democrats and hate participatory Islam. << MORE >>
'Dr. Utopia' is totally screwing up the U.S.A. -- Wall Street Liberalism sucks
According to Hill Buzz:
If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of “Dubya” nearly every day…parroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is still, to this day, lampooned as a chimp, a bumbling idiot, and a poor, clumsy public speaker. Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11. << MORE >>

Remember the far-Left screaming endlessly in 2006 about Darfur? Screaming endlessly that Bush must pull troops out of Iraq and send U.S. troops to Darfur? HELLO, the Darfur Genocide is STILL RAGING in 2009 under Obama's nose... and far-Left SILENCE!!!!
In 2009, the far-Left is silent on Darfur because Darfur was ONLY a political message in 2006. ---- November 10th, 2009 - House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement:
“I am pleased that the Obama Administration is continuing to focus on the dire situation in Darfur."<< MORE >>
“This headquarters team is leaving this land, the Cradle of Civilization, with something that is so much bigger than any dollar value that we can place on projects,” said Maj. Gen. Michael Eyre of the Gulf Region Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER – “The great realignment myth of 2008 is totally DEMOLISHED!”
ACCORDING TO CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER writing in the Washington Post:
“Sure, Election Day 2009 will scare moderate Democrats and make passage of Obamacare more difficult. Sure, it makes it easier for resurgent Republicans to raise money and recruit candidates for 2010. But the most important effect of Tuesday's elections is historical. It demolishes the great realignment myth of 2008.” << MORE >>

Length of Unemployment in America Hits All Time Record High of 6 Months – longest since 1776, longer than during the Great Depression, the longest ever, period. << MORE >>
According to Markos Moulitsas writing in the Daily Kos: The Democratic Base Collapsed -- Here's Why -- "We are fanatics and we will only vote for fanatics."
"Exit polls showed great voter anxiety about ‘the new normal’ high unemployment under Democrat rule. But also notice huge Republican margins among New Jersey and Virginia independents, voters traditionally suspicious of government spending and budget deficits. These are the sorts of folks who left the GOP in 1992 to vote for Ross Perot and parted ways again in 2006 and 2008 because they felt Republicans had morphed again into big spenders. The unemployment rate isn’t even that terrible in Virginia: 6.7 percent versus 9.8 nationally. Voter revulsion at trillion-dollar deficits and impatience about unemployment is creating a toxic environment for the Obama White House and congressional Democrats." << MORE >>
