We Don't Think A Muslim Should Be President Either

Summertime Blues
A rough political summer has left Hillary Rodham Clinton with negative favorability ratings in a New York state poll for the first time, a low mark in the state she represented as a senator for eight years. (New York Times, 9/21/2015)

Question: Why are Hill's favorability ratings so low in New York?

Answer: New Yorkers know her.


Barbeque Time
Stephanopoulos Grills Trump: Why Can't You Say That Obama Is American, Not A Muslim? (realclearpolitics.com, 9/21/2015)

Well here's the height of hypocrisy from Stephy. It was to Georgie Boy that Obama first admitted that he was a Muslim. Think we are wrong? Look it up. 


End Game
...California’s End of Life Option Act would allow people in the advanced stages of a terminal illness to obtain a lethal dose of painkillers from a physician. Mr. Brown should sign the bill into law. (New York Times editorial, 9/22/2015)

New York Times editors: OK to kill old people and the unborn; not OK to kill murderers.


Indecent Proposal
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is expected on Tuesday to propose what officials in the nation’s third-largest city are calling Chicago’s largest property tax increase in modern history. The increase, to be phased in over four years, would raise property taxes by more than $500 million. Mr. Emanuel, who had steered clear of raising property taxes during his first four-year term and is only months into his second, will also seek new fees or taxes on garbage pickup, trips in taxis and ride-sharing services, and electronic cigarettes, administration officials said on Monday. (New York Times, 9/22/2015)

With Liberal leaders in Liberal cities it is taxes, always taxes. How else to pay for social engineering?

Weekend at Bernie Sanders

Gray Matter
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Democratic candidate for president Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) while admitting it was poorly written defended his recently surfaced 1972 rape fantasy essay as akin to the controversial book about female sexual submission, “Fifty Shades of Grey.” (Breitbart.com, 5/31/2015)

When a Republican says something stupid about rape, their professional life ends. Let's see what happens to Bernie. (Why look, he's gaining in the polls!)


Off the Clift
During this week’s version of the syndicated public affairs show “The McLaughlin Group,” The Daily Beast’s Eleanor Clift debated that Hillary Clinton’s wealth could actually be beneficial for her.
....
“If she’s elected, she would probably be the richest president ever, But is this a liability? I look back at FDR, I mean, he was very wealthy. He did a lot of great things for the little people.” (Breitbart.com, 5/31/2015)

If this line of reasoning sounds familiar, then you are remembering that it is exactly what Democrats said about Mitt Romney's wealth....how beneficial it would be for "the little people."

Ah, RedStateVT is just pulling your leg. What Democrats actually said was that Mitt Romney was a rapacious capitalist who had put millions of people out of work, killed others and whose wealth was a stain on America. 


By George
On his Sunday morning news show George Stephanopolous took time out from reporting on the scandal in which newsman George Stephanopolous made undisclosed contributions to the Clinton Crime family Foundation. Instead, Stephanopolous turned his attention to a scandal in which a formerly prominent Republican politician who left office eight years ago was indicted. (RedStateVT, 5/31/2015)

Stephanopoulos: "I did it...for the children"

Richly
Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband made at least $30 million over the last 16 months, mainly from giving paid speeches to corporations, banks and other organizations, according to financial disclosure forms filed with federal elections officials on Friday. (New York Times, 5/16/2015)

This will pose absolutely no problem for Hillary Clinton. Rich Democrats are just fine. John Kerry can run for president and the Liberal Media will never discuss his wealth - not even the fact that he married into it. But Mitt Romney's wealth was THE story of the last election. By the way, we note that Romney's former employer, Bain Capital, hired former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, President Obama's bestest buddy. Now why didn't we hear more about that?


Bagged
Across the country, law enforcement agencies long accustomed to seizures of bagged, smokable marijuana are now wrestling with a surge in marijuana-infused snacks and confections transported illegally across state lines for resale.

Pot edibles, as they are called, can be much easier to smuggle than marijuana buds: They may resemble candy or home-baked goodies, and often have no telltale smell. And few police officers are trained to think of gummy bears, mints or neon-colored drinks as potential dope.

Some experts worry that smuggled pot edibles will appeal to many consumers, particularly adolescents, who are ill prepared for the deceptively slow high. Impatient novices can easily eat too much too fast, suffering anxiety attacks and symptoms resembling psychosis. Already, young children have eaten laced sweets left within reach. (New York Times, 5/17/2015)

Coming soon to Vermont!

Progressives here are now thinking to themselves: just think of the revenue we can raise via taxes on edible marijuana!


Person of the Day
Peggy Fahey, a lifelong Bostonian who was sipping coffee on a park bench in South Boston early Saturday, said she believed that Mr. Tsarnaev had been treated too gently since his arrest and that death was what he irrefutably deserved.

“Oh, please, let him die. Enough is enough,” said Ms. Fahey, 78, her blue eyes blazing. “Why send him to a fancy prison out there in Colorado and let him be coddled again and let him be interviewed by Diane Sawyer — you know what I mean? Just be done with it.” (New York Times, 5/17/2015)

Great Moments in Liberal Journalism
In 2007, in public, he ( George Stephanopoulos)  asked Clinton if he might someday be remembered as “a philanthropist who happened to be president. You OK with that?”

Well, I suppose it’s better than being remembered as an accused rapist who happened to be president. (Howie Carr, Bostonherald.com, 517/2015)

Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Howie Carr for reminding us of this moment of pure obsequiousness from ABC's unbiased and impartial newsman. 

Clinton Crime Family Foundation Claims Another Victim!

George Stephanopoulos’s Gifts to Clinton Foundation Reinforce G.O.P. Doubts 
Even after more than a decade as an analyst, anchor and public face for ABC News, George Stephanopoulos has never been able to shake the image that many Republicans have of him: Clinton hatchet man. (New York Times, 5/15/2015)

Only Liberals and the New York Times can turn a story about blatant journalistic bias into a story about Republicans. Stephanopoulos admits his error in giving $25,000 a year for three years to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.*

That sounds like three mistakes to us not one!

ABC News and the Mainstream Liberal Media are standing by Georgie. 

Why? 

Well Brian Williams has already been disgraced and sent out to pasture. If objectivity were the rule of law, Georgie would have to go also; his crime is worse. But Liberals simply cannot have another Liberal journalist fall. It would lend truth to what conservatives have been saying for years about the media. Can't have that. 

Georgie stays.

School Daze
A federal jury on Friday condemned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failed college student, to death for setting off bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured hundreds more in the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. (New York Times, 5/15/2015)

"A failed college student?"

Are we the only ones scratching our head over this characterization? What is the New York Socialist Times trying to convey to us? Probably something like...."Tsarnaev is a product of our dysfunctional education system. If only Republicans would agree to increase education spending." 

This is beyond ludicrous. The New York Times has lost its marbles. 


Risky Business
The Department of Veterans Affairs has been spending at least $6 billion a year in violation of federal contracting rules to pay for medical care and supplies, wasting taxpayer money and putting veterans at risk, according to an internal memo written by the agency’s senior official for procurement. (Washington Post, 5/14/2015)

And who was in charge of Senate oversight of the VA until just recently? Why it was Colonel Bernie Sanders, the Left's socialist hero and now presidential candidate. Maybe George Stephanopoulos will ask him about that. 

Just kidding! 

George Stephanopoulos will not ask him about it. George Stephanopolous will, however, ask Ted Cruz about his position on contraceptives. 

Obama: For gay marriage before he pretended to be against it

Name Calling
In the long-running political battles over climate change, the fight about what to call the various factions has been going on for a long time. Recently, though, the issue has taken a new turn, with a public appeal that has garnered 22,000 signatures and counting.

The petition asks the news media to abandon the most frequently used term for people who question climate science, “skeptic,” and call them “climate deniers” instead. (New York Times, 2/13/2015)

We suggest calling those who do not question "climate science"...."climate truthers."


In The Name Of
Why does Obama have no problem declaring that “people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” yet he has never once said that terrorists have “committed terrible deeds in the name of Allah” or “in the name of Islam”? In his prayer breakfast speech, Obama bent over backward to avoid using the word “Islamic” in reference to the terrorists. He will not even call it the “Islamic State,” the name that virtually every U.S. news organization uses. He said that “ISIL” killed “in the name of religion.” So the Islamic State kills “in the name of religion,” but Christians killed “in the name of Christ”?

Obama is willing to condemn by name what he considers Christian radicalism, but he still to this day refuses to condemn “Islamic radicalism” by name. You can’t defeat an ideology if you are unwilling to even name it. When the president of the United States watches Islamic terrorists burn a man alive in a cage and responds by saying we should not “get on our high horse” because “people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ” it is a propaganda victory for the terrorists and a loss for persecuted Christians struggling to survive under the Islamic State’s brutal rule. (Marc A. Thiessen, Washington Post, 2/10/2015)

Why indeed. We have pondered this long and hard and a possible answer is beginning to dawn on us.... Obama is a Muslim. 

Could it be true? (After all, Obama famously declared he was a Muslim in an interview with George Stephanopolous years ago. Stephanopolous bailed him out by saying: "You are a Christian." If you haven't heard about this, no surprise as it was largely suppressed by the State Media.) 

We are not yet certain, but how else to explain his constant reminders of American and Christian sins coupled with his soft apologies for Islamic terrorism.


Long Ago
Months ago, Mrs. Clinton’s top advisers encouraged the three pro-Clinton super PACs — Ready for Hillary, Priorities USA and Mr. Brock’s American Bridge 21st Century — to combine efforts. Mr. Brock’s organization would provide opposition research to Priorities, which would eventually raise high-dollar donations to pay for attack ads. (New York Times, 2/11/2015)

Three Super PACs. High dollar donations. Attack ads.

Kind of makes the Koch brothers look genteel ...
