American Thinker: Stark Contrasts Last Saturday

American Thinker: Stark Contrasts Last Saturday:

When the mainstream media dedicated themselves to providing equal coverage to the massive Restoring Honor rally orchestrated by radio and TV personality Glenn Beck and the much more, shall we say...intimate Reclaim the Dream rally orchestrated by radio host Al Sharpton, they undoubtedly thought they were doing their liberal brethren a huge favor. As it turns out, they accomplished the exact opposite."

American Thinker Blog: Real joblessness at 16.7%

American Thinker Blog: Real joblessness at 16.7%:

The U.S. jobless rate rose to 9.6% in August, but the government's broader measure of unemployment rose even more to 16.7%, the highest rate since April.

[...]

Both rates increased despite a rise of 290,000 in the number of people who are employed. The number of unemployed people in the U.S. also rose, but by a smaller amount - 261,000. The unemployment rates moved up as more unemployed people moved back into the labor force to look for jobs. More than half a million people re-entered the job market last month, as the overall labor force rose 550,000."

Jamie Stiehm - Oval Office rug gets history wrong

Jamie Stiehm - Oval Office rug gets history wrong:

A mistake has been made in the Oval Office makeover that goes beyond the beige.

President Obama's new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. woven along its curved edge.

'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.' According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King."

Coming to a street corner near you.....

'Islamization' of Paris a Warning to the West - World - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com:

PARIS - Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.

This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.

It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa, other parts of the French government continue to give Islam a privileged status."

“Family Circus” is one of those old standby cartoons that, in its 50th year, still runs in 1,500 newspapers. While the cartoon view of home life sometimes serves as a morality tale, it’s also become a guide on how not to run a country – a guide our president knows all too well."

Labor Day Special: Top 10 Union Highlights of the Obama Administration:

Jan. 20, 2009, was supposed to be the start of a new post-partisan political climate in Washington. To some journalists, that day was confirmation that a message had been sent that the people’s government had “declared independence” from special interests. New President Barack Obama had said months earlier that was what was wrong with Washington, and announced his intention to change it."

“Happy Warriors” Emerge From Glenn Beck’s “Pit of Hatred” | NewsReal Blog:

One would not be able to find a more polite crowd at a political convention, certainly not at a professional sporting event, probably not even at an opera.

Uncovering Climategate | FrontPage Magazine:

In response to sustained criticism of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the IPCC and United Nations officials asked the Inter Academy Council to review the processes and procedures of the IPCC and make recommendations for changes that would enhance the objectivity and accuracy of the IPCC reports. The Inter Academy Council, a multinational organization of science academies, was given a limited charter to examine only the IPCC’s management structure and methods of operation, not to evaluate the underlying scientific conclusions of the IPCC’s fourth assessment report."

Glenn Beck’s path to unity a rocky road | The Daily Caller:

Glenn Beck’s rally in Washington Saturday was a picture of unity on stage, but that wasn’t easy to accomplish, according to interviews with Christian ministers involved in planning the event.

Beck, a Fox News personality, faced major objections and concerns within the evangelical community prior to the event due to his status as a Mormon who planned to lead a spiritual rally involving tens of thousands of Protestant Christians. Those concerns remain for numerous top Christian leaders."

“No, it’s not the senior lounge,” my friend replies with a smirk."

Depending on where you get your news, I was one of about 87,000 -- or a number approaching 350,000 -- on the National Mall this past Saturday at Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' event.

Despite the scoffing and screaming of the knights of the keyboard and czars of the cable nets that Beck is a hateful, lying racist and the throngs on the National Mall were bigoted, gullible dupes, Beck's gathering was a peaceful, orderly love-in -- love of country, love of our heritage, love of fellow patriots no matter their origin."

American Thinker: Remembering America's Iraq War 'Patriotic Opposition':

In his speech to the nation Tuesday night, President Obama offered a tepid acknowledgment to George W. Bush for his patriotism and love of country through the hellacious ordeal of the Iraq war -- made hellacious by the bilious criticisms leveled by unrelenting, vicious liberal Democrats. It was the weakest, emptiest form of appreciation, as Obama included Bush among two types of 'patriots' during the Iraq debate, grouping him with the 'patriots who opposed' the war."

Ruling Class vs. the People - HUMAN EVENTS

Even though I'm beginning to think Obama believes he is King, not elected President...I don't care if he takes 100 vacations. It's his problem...but, the hypocrisy...when GWB even "Thought" about a day off - he was just pummeled with invectives. I'm so very tired of this.....

Ruling Class vs. the People - HUMAN EVENTS:

Unemployment is hovering around 9.6%, our national debt is over $13 trillion, one-in-six Americans are receiving some type of government help, and Barack Obama just wrapped his sixth vacation in less than two years as President.

It was a waterfront vacation in Martha’s Vineyard that cost around $50,000 for the rental property alone. (This doesn’t count the cost of staff, of Secret Service protection, or the transport and fuel for the 20-vehicle caravan that traveled with the President all over the island.)"

Reid puts renewables mandate in play, eyes lame-duck energy bill - The Hill's E2-Wire:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday a nationwide renewable-electricity standard, or RES, is “absolutely” in the mix as he tries to salvage energy legislation this year — possibly in a lame-duck session.

Before the August recess, Reid said he doubted an RES — which would require utilities to provide escalating amounts of power from sources like wind and solar energy — could win 60 votes. It was left on the cutting-room floor when Reid unveiled a modest energy bill in late July."

NBC's Engel Dumps On Iraq War, Claims Hussein Was Becoming More 'Moderate':

On the day that the U.S. is ending combat operations in Iraq, the Today show, on Tuesday, brought on their chief foreign correspondent to essentially say the Iraq war wasn't worth it. The noted anti-war reporter, when asked by Today co-anchor Ann Curry did, 'Anything positive come from this war?' proceeded to dump on the entire mission as he relayed that Iraqis are upset that the United States 'has failed to deliver on its promises,' claimed that Saddam Hussein, before the war, was 'getting more moderate' and concluded that the mission was 'a giant distraction of resources' and if not for the invasion of Iraq, the war in Afghanistan 'would probably be over.'

WASHINGTON (AP) - Twelve-year-old Malia Obama wears braces, toots a flute and is after her father to save the tigers. Younger sister Sasha, who is 9, shoots hoops like her basketball-loving dad and dances hip-hop.

Both girls get up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school.

Barack and Michelle Obama put their girls off-limits to the news media after they moved to the White House, saying they wanted to keep their daughters' lives as normal as possible. But tidbits about the private doings of the youngest children to live in the White House since the Kennedy family do dribble out. Often they come from a surprising source: Mom and Dad."

From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the crowd rolled back to the World War II Memorial, and beyond that to the sloping lawn of the Washington Monument. Trying to reach the Mall from all sides, some people were too far away to clearly hear what was being said.

Not before, however, he got in one joke at the mainstream media.
