Hillary Clinton: "I IDENTIFY as your president..."

Pushing Her Buttons
In a sprawling park 30 miles outside Moscow, President Vladimir V. Putin welcomed the country’s first high-tech military exposition on Tuesday, announcing in his opening remarks that Russia would add 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles to its nuclear stockpile this year. (New York Times, 6/17/2015)

RedStateVT: Secretary Clinton, the New York Times just reported that Russian President Putin is increasing that country's nuclear arsenal. Is this a failure of your 'Russian Reset' policy?

RedStateVT: Madame Secretary?

Clinton: I want to be president of ALL Americans!

RedStateVT: But Madame Secretary, we were asking about the apparent failure of your Russian Reset policy trumpeted during your tenure as Secretary of State. And as a follow-up, please explain how voters should feel about your ability to enact a robust and effective foreign policy as president.

RedStateVT: Madame Secretary?

Clinton: I would like to show everyone pictures of my lovely granddaughter....


Black and White
White Gunman Sought in Killing of 9 at Black Church in Charleston, S.C. (New York Times headline, 6/18/2015)

So has the New York Times EVER written a headline that said: Black Gunman Sought in Killing of White? We cannot remember. 


Swiftly
Pope Francis, in Sweeping Encyclical, Calls for Swift Action on Climate Change (New York Times headline, 6/18/2015)

Liberals are falling all over themselves with this announcement. Some may even return to the church. 

"Climate deniers can no long ignore the reality of climate change; even the pope says so!"

By the way, what does the pope say about gay marriage and abortion?


Pink
Obama Looks at Adding Bases and Troops in Iraq, to Fight ISIS (New York Times headline, 6/12/2015)

Code Pink....where is Code Pink? Cindy Sheehan? Cindy? Anyone seen Cindy lately?


Trumped
The State-Controlled Media is hysterical over the candidacy of novelty Republican Donald Trump. Trump will NEVER poll higher than 5%, but CNN practically did a one hour special yesterday ginning up a non-existent Trump vs. Bush feud. 

Meanwhile, Democrat novelty candidate Colonel Bernie Sanders is polling at 30% in New Hampshire!

Under Control

The Purge
Hours after President François Hollande purged leftist members of his government last month for opposing his economic policies, Manuel Valls, France’s combative prime minister, climbed a stage before hundreds of cheering French executives and called for a new relationship with business to lift France from its malaise.

He admonished the left wing of the French Socialist Party to stop posturing against capitalism, then launched into a lengthy pro-business discourse that drew a standing ovation. “France needs you,” he told the bosses at the annual summer conference of the Medef, France’s employers’ union. “And I love business!” (New York Times, 9/16/2014)

No 'Occupy Le Wall Street' in France. The French suddenly love capitalism. And remember, Liberals believe that we need to emulate the French in every way!


Zoned Out
Even as momentum builds against the austerity policies that Germany has pushed on the eurozone, the question remains whether Europe can afford the welfare systems that have defined the left for generations and that critics blame for ushering in the debt crisis in the first place. But if the left now backs away from its ideological touchstones, then what does it stand for? (New York Times, 9/16/2014)

What does the Left stand for, if not building bigger and bigger social welfare programs?

Well, nothing , really. It is their raison d'etre.


The Mix
Mr. Obama, seeking to allay fears of another Iraq war, has promised that American ground troops will not be involved in fighting the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. In a sign of the administration’s mixed message, the president pointedly did not call it a war, while his advisers later did. (New York Times, 9/17/2014)

RedStateVT did not say 'mixed message.' The New York Times said 'mixed message.'


Crying Out Loud
The Democrats’ strategy of making an increase in the minimum wage a midterm election rallying cry has been drowned out by world events. The party continues to talk about it, but it appears that few are listening. (New York Times, 9/17/2014)

We at RedStateVT just cannot get our head around a minimum wage increase. Liberals want companies to pay their workers more...which means they will need to raise their prices...which means everyone will pay more for the goods and services that these companies provide. So really, it is just another form of higher taxation. 

Actually that does make sense because there is really nothing that Liberals like more than higher taxes. Got it now.


Quote of the Day
ObamaCare has become his Ukraine. (Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., Wall Street Journal, 9/17/2014)

Also Obama's Ukraine? 

Ukraine.


Truthfully
Whatever happened to Cindy Sheehan? Where is Code Pink? I haven’t seen an “EndLESS War” bumper sticker in years, since 2009 to be exact.

The anti-war movement is MIA as this war, er counterterrorism operation, begins. Back when Bush was waging war, dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Now it’s “racism.” If you speak truth to power in the Obama era, they call it hate speech. The IRS will audit you. (Howiecarrshow.com, 9/16/2014)

Do you listen to Howie Carr's radio program? You should!
