Bill Bennett on Hannity
Bill was on Hannity just now and pretty interesting stuff. Here in the big city of Bristol, TN we get Bill every morning and I personally get him for maybe 30 minutes if that a morning...I was personally disappointed on his surmise of Beck's CPAC speech but totally pegged them on Saturday night my only question with the family was will he say it outloud on the air....and he did.
Good for him....now hold your party to the fire since you are a party guy FIRST instead of purely be a true and pure conservative in principle til death...AND THAT IS WHY IMO damn Bennett helped make Beck's point for him...especially when he damn used McCain in his argument vs Beck.
And i'm not even trying to even call a match in a pi**ing contest at all. I will concede to anyone that listens that Dr. Bennett is obviously correct that its a very very delicate thing maybe even a slippery slope when talking about inward war and that allows the progressive DEMS to maybe put the final nail in the coffin of our Republic but at some point hopefully BEFORE we get the damn pitchforks and realllllllllly massage that 2nd amendment right in the direction of Washington wouldn't you think it would be time for the maybe LITERAL moral stand of ALL-TIME?
Just a thought cause I gotta say its there with the Global bow-tie we are now in and the fiscal demise we have floundered within (i think it was a C&P coating with a splash of Van Jones and a dash of Jones & Rev. Wright).

Gov. Patterson's Spitzer Curse maybe?
My god folks give me a break. Has anyone seen this mess? So one of his closest "aides" has 2 INDIVIDUAL orders from his ex-wife about the amount of footage that MUST be between her and her ex-jewel.....and we are hearing SHE had first been pressured by STATE POLICE (my god its like even the damn politicians in the northeast especially take all their talking & learning points from old mob movies, wtf?)and then the day before the latest hearing from the ex-wife regarding ANOTHER protective order against INSANE PATTERSON AID GUY, she gets a call from the Gov. himself and mysteriously doesn't show up....HUM. Not saying guilty before innocent but pardon even us the reluctant jaded mass of American humanity if he is have to be the 1st person I've heard in fame or politics to say what I just say him say (press conference...I did not abuse my position or its power, and i'm looking forward to a full & complete investigation and its findings etc..yeahhhhhhh sure)and it actually turn out even 20% to the benefit of their perception..

Are you required to take as many Anti-Bribery & Conflict of Interest classes as do?
For anyone that hasn't been fully into the news cycle and/or maybe just for someone starting to grab a shovel and god bless you have the where-with-ALL to really get into this....THIS TOYOTA RECALL, RECALL, MEDIA EXPLOITATION, RECALL, BRAGGING FROM US TOYOTA EXECS, MEDIA OUTRAGE, BAD ENGLISH FROM HUMBLE MR.TOYOTA, RECALL, BLAH, BLAH is the exact reason why there can be nothing even within the same stratosphere as "TOO big to fail".
Now the "Too BIG to fail" Disney rescuers today have been grilling the American HEAD & the (I believe)grandson of the founder of Toyota to literally rip them a new one in that fine "NO GREATER WASTE OF TIME POSSIBLY n the HISTORY OF MAN" fashion.
I can't imagine anyone not typing this quicker than me short of the progressive and/or free market hating clowns simply because we get the best of the WORST worlds (WHERE THE HELL IS VAN HALEN? I CAN SO PUT TOGETHER A EDDIE VAN HALEN WORTHY "BEST OF THE WORST WORLDS" CHORUS IN PLUS OR MINUS 5 MINUTES).
You got "Too big to Fail" and my personal Big Gov. Holocaust the Slippery Slope.
Yes ladies and gentleman we are running a Kmart Blue Light special today. If you choose to ring up 1 horrible, already proven each & every single time to end in disaster like that damn FRIDAY THE 13TH SERIES a death sentence ideology BECAUSE YOU STILL CAN'T GET PAST "you and your ilk" know better and are all the little peoples only chance. Well in a happy redistribution of pathetic, You get the closest past historical fustercluck of a marxist/socialist/communist type ideological time period for a penny (LET A DAMN CAPITALIST POINT OUT THAT THE FACT IS ITS STILL 1 PENNY MORE THAN THE BUY ONE OR THE GET ONE...AND DAMN SURE A PENNY MORE THAN THE PERSON COLLECTING THIS FINE & SEXY SOCIALIST BOUNTY! MAN SUX TO BE US HUH.
OK, I have finally managed to channel out the spirit of that nasty ol emporer from The Dark Crystal (didn't he work with little people?) so to get back on point....
When you read this it doesn't help what any freedom loving, constitution respecting US Republic citizen WILL get as a preconceived notion BUT still its so obvious and pathetic it simply must be discussed yet again.
I mean we had O'Reilly, Beck, etc back in the day obviously & literally going off the deepend with our goverment getting into the business of business.
NOW here we are they own chunks of GM& Chrysler....and we have a genuine issue with Toyota........HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN A DAMN POSITION TO EVEN HAVE IMPROPRIETY SUGGESTED!!! As most that ever will read this know I most likely will die of old age before I will ever be able to say I trust the government...I am waiting day by day to hear how Capitolism is failing and the free market when in fact the good lord might need to write a second bible because I surely wasn't alive the last time Capitalism was able to work its own magic with the free market.
C'MON. and please read article its great.

FBI Raids 3 Local Toyota Suppliers
Last Update: 7:46 pm
FBI Raids 3 Auto Suppliers
(WXYZ) - The FBI is confirming raids at the offices of three Michigan auto suppliers who do work for Toyota.
Search warrants were served Tuesday evening at Yazaki North America, DENSO International and Tokai Rika. Yazaki sells electronic components and DENSO makes accelerator pedals.
Law enforcement sources say the raids are part of an ongoing anti-trust investigation of the companies. They say this is not a criminal investigation and not related to the current acceleration problems. Department of Justice spokesperson Gina Talamona said "The Antitrust Division is investigating the possibility of anti-competitive cartel conduct of automotive electronic components suppliers. We are coordinating with the European Commission and other foreign competition authorities."
DENSO has released the following statement:
"DENSO International America, Inc. (DIAM), U.S. subsidiary of DENSO Corporation, was inspected on February 23, 2010 by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice in regard to U.S. antitrust laws. DIAM is cooperating with this investigation."
Yazaki also issued a statement:
Federal authorities issued search warrants to Yazaki Corp., including Yazaki North America, on February 23. As part of the investigation, government officials visited Yazaki North America’s Canton, Michigan headquarters and Lexington, KY and Columbus, OH facilities.
Yazaki is fully cooperating with authorities. At this point, we are not in a position to disclose any additional information as we have not been informed of the details of the investigation.
Yazaki is committed to servicing their customers and this investigation will not impact the level of service that we continue to supply to our customers.

Entitled to a Job
Left-wing politicians often point to other countries as models for the US. But what happens in those countries is a reason I worry about the expanding role of government in the US. Last week, a Australian government committee used a new law called the “Fair Work Act” to force a company to re-hire an employee -- even though it found the worker engaged in "relatively serious misconduct."
Why did the company have to hire him back? The bureaucrats were at least up-front about it, as The Australian reports:
[If the employee, Mr. Quinlivan] had not been a middle-aged man with very poor employment prospects for whom the dismissal has such serious personal and economic consequences… I would not have concluded that the dismissal was harsh," vice-president Michael Lawler found…He said Mr Quinlivan should have been warned rather than sacked. He ordered his reinstatement and that he be paid $16,000.
How kind of the government bureaucrats, helping poor Mr. Quinlivan with other peoples’ money.
Ironically, violating government rules was a reason the company wanted to fire him in the first place.
During a shutdown at Norske Skog Paper Mills in Albury last September, Paul Quinlivan and a colleague were cleaning out a tank that captured staples from recycled pulp, when he repeatedly removed his safety glasses and was told four times by a manager to put them back on.
... his repeated failure to wear the safety glasses and his disdainful and abusive response to management amounted to serious misconduct.
The company could be fined millions of dollars if Quinlivan got hurt on the job while not wearing safety glasses.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No wonder Australian companies are reluctant to hire new employees. As the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry puts it:
"It makes it very difficult for employers to try and work their way through this maze of what seem to be competing obligations contained in different pieces of legislation.
Big government puts all of us in the maze.

John Stossel shows us: A REAL ROLE MODEL
I can only say yet again that THERE IS HOPE....this is yet more proof. God knows we can't have too much of this proof on a daily basis but my goodness the next thing you know I will be reading an article saying that all little leaguers will actually have to win their damn league before they get a trophy!
See yet another excellent bit of news from Mr. Stossel below!!
http://stossel.blogs.foxbusiness.com/2010/02/23/a-real-role-model/
Providence, RI School Supt. Frances Gallo says she did not have a choice. Federal law requires that states identify their lowest-performing 5 percent of schools and fix them. Gallo came up with a plan: teachers would receive additional training and take part in afterschool sessions, for which they'd be paid $30 an hour.
Gallo also asked teachers to do a few things for no additional pay, like spending an extra 25 minutes in school. I'd think dedicated teachers in struggling schools would be willling to spend a little more time with their students. But these teachers are in a union. Their reaction?
Union officials said they wanted to be paid for more of the duties and wanted to receive a higher pay rate –– $90 per hour.
So Gallo, unlike most officials who just cave in to public sector union demands because a) it's not their money and b) it's easier to give in, took a novel approach. She fired the lot of them.
Gallo mailed letters Thursday afternoon to every teacher at Central Falls High School informing them that she is recommending their termination at the end of the current school year.
Wow. Gallo is a good role model for students.
The school board votes on Gallo's recommendation today. I wonder if its members will show the same backbone Gallo demonstrated. Stay tuned.

The Cow, the Constitution, & the 10 Commandments
I'm not sitting here saying this is my credo or anything but its well worth a laugh for some like minded folk....or hell maybe a true thought for a moment for an non-like minded person (and this isn't snopes worth ok, and i didn't swear on a freakin bible...its the point and if you don't get and it and can't please go back to MSNBC).
Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COWS
I vote that we give all the illegal aliens a cow everytime
they come across the border and here is why:
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track
a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right
to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington ?
And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are
unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around
our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was
written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --
you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not
Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians. I mean come on people think about it.
It creates a hostile work environment.

Are we a democracy? or a republic?
I AM ADDING THIS TO THE FRONT AFTER THE FACT...YOU KNOW THAT probably the single biggest group of proponents of a democracy are communists correct? I say again this is not debatable, its proven fact. Interesting huh now go learn & research & think???
I will keep this diatribe short but just to reaffirm what I went off on a few days ago....PAY ATTENTION to what your kids learn in school, IF you think they aren't being glazed over in BS you are wrong...don't blame it all on the dam PS3 & the WII. In no more years than we are talking about it we have honest to god die hard Conservative Republicans that bleed what i bleed, AND HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE, that would literally stare at me clueless with the question i posed earlier....You have to pick one - Are we a democracy or a republic?
AND I SAY AGAIN for anyone that reads it or wants to argue there is NO argument on the question just one more representation of what happens when one group gets total hold of all the things that a society winds up turning to for both its entertainment & education (and most other things too).... They have Hollywood, DC at various times of course, and most importantly to aid the indoctrination, the damn NEA & College professors and all things learning....pathetic.

11/2/09 My rant on the think tanks and their lack of publicity
i only wish most everyday citizens grasped these jewels. we are talking about literally 99% of the folks that write the policies that shape our world and they have never as much worked in a 7-11 let alone managed or owned one and had to deal with a budget in a real world scenario where other people suffer if they don't do it right. NOW THE ORIGINAL RANT
heard o'reilly talking tonight about 2000 pages and what and why and candidates and this that n other.
You have done a great job on soros and think tanks etc but they almost got on it all........the people that wrote this dam bill........................
The people that wrote this bill were not elected and won't be sent out of office. they are in the think tanks and all that bs with soros and their ilk.
That is the biggest part of the problem in my opinion. that is why the people can change but you notice all the policies and bills still tend in majority....hence your democrat and dem. light seem to all lean one way...............
why?
we neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed way more info on who rights this shit.
Cause Einstein couldn't deal with all this and meanwhile a month later you got 2000 pages of lawyer speak that will literally transform this country forever.
Who is the dam puppet master and who are the literal and law-based genious that writes it.......gotta be the think tank crap.
gotta be. who writes all bills that come through congress?
i want to hear about that crap.
i say that is where all this is on both sides.
I am currently dealing with religious issues so i will just say currently i have the ability to hate and i hate all of washington all of it.
If it fell of the map....assuming all the real heroes involved in the military /cia etc that did the right thing i wouldn't care.

UN Watchdog investigating the US for their homeless problem
oh yeah right. seriously?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/nov/03/the-un-housing-police/
And as you see this shit came from thbe Washington Times which are a friggin' joke.
We are being investigated and therefore money spent (If you don't know please take note and if you do please pass along since WE HOUSE THE DAM UN in New York as well as last time I looked we US citizens pay about 65% or more of their total budget) because the United Nations says we are have a homeless problem and its not being handled properly...............
Now folks plz nobody wants to see a homeless person so keep that in mind that is a normal desire. Read the article. More total bullshit socialism and with this being the UN if they were really worried about dealing with legitimate homeless issues it wouldn't have this moron ARCHITECT messing around in the USA where she has no right to be. Just another one to make blood shoot out of your eyes.
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS S**T UP!
EDITORIAL: The U.N. housing police sent to the continental US to investigate our housing problem in relation to those less fortunate (ENTER YOUR FAVORITE DAM DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH PHRASE RIGHT HERE)
The United Nations is fretting that the United States might be violating human rights by not providing adequate housing. To get to the bottom of the issue, the U.N. Human Rights Council has dispatched Brazilian architect and urban planner Raquel Rolnik, the Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, to our shores. We apologize for being unwelcoming hosts, but she should go back from whence she came.
Miss Rolnik's bureaucratic pity might be better targeted at her native Brazil, where 28.9 percent of the urban population lives in slums, according to the UN-HABITAT Global Urban Indicators database. Or China, where the rate is 32.8 percent. Or Kenya at 54.8 percent, Mozambique at 79.5 percent, or Sierra Leone, where 97 percent of people in cities are slum dwellers.
But instead, the U.N. is expending its limited time and resources on the United States, where the homeless population is a fraction of a percent, three-quarters of people below the poverty line live in homes with two or more bedrooms, and median square feet of living space per person in poverty is 91 percent of the national median, according to the 2007 American Housing Survey. This is not what you would call a human-rights nightmare.
Miss Rolnik's mission fits well with the Obama administration's objective to have government intrude on every aspect of American life. She promotes "really thinking out of the box" about housing, particularly by moving away from the American dream of individual homeownership and toward more collective solutions, including "rent schemes, subsidized rent schemes, with public housing, with other types of community development housing, and other types of schemes. And of course, putting more priority on that in the government agenda and take that as a responsibility of the state."
She believes that the Obama administration should "face the basis, original basis, of the financial crisis," which in her opinion is "the failure of housing policies to address the issue of housing, and the radical shift from taking housing as a social issue into housing as a commodity and a financial asset, opening ground to sub-prime, and the whole thing in terms of predatory lending that came after that." Miss Rolnik might want to glance over a July 2009 report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform titled "The Role of Government Affordable Housing Policy in Creating the Global Financial Crisis of 2008." This study found that government intervention in the marketplace to provide "affordable housing" played a significant role in creating the economic meltdown.
According to the House study, the government-backed corporations Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "privatized their profits but socialized their risks, creating powerful incentives for them to act recklessly and exposing taxpayers to tremendous losses." The government promoted dangerous lending policies that encouraged lower down payments, looser underwriting standards and higher leverage." This malformed system created false incentives that produced "a nexus of vested interests - politicians, lenders and lobbyists - who profited from the 'affordable' housing market and acted to kill reforms." In the long run, the government-imposed systemic contradictions were too much to bear, and "the ultimate effect was to create a mortgage tsunami that wrought devastation on the American people and economy."
Miss Rolnik began her mission last week with a town-hall meeting with the homeless and housing-rights activists in New York City, and she will hold similar meetings in Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Washington, the Pine Ridge Indian reservation and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. She will report her findings to the U.N. General Assembly in March 2010. Miss Rolnik can be expected to deliver the same old tired socialistic rhetoric about public ownership and collective responsibility, sprinkled liberally with uncorroborated anecdotes and horror stories collected from her town meetings with radical pressure groups.
"I see this mission as an opportunity to open a dialogue, to open a movement, towards the achievement and implementation of the right to adequate housing," she said in explaining her investigation of America. "We know very well that changes will come only if people organize." Miss Rolnik is assuming the role of a global community organizer, with the U.N. acting as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) on steroids. This is part of a gradual encroachment on American sovereignty. The United Nations should not be in the business of organizing radical American interest groups to stir up trouble within our borders.
The United Nations should stay out of U.S. domestic politics. The international body's prescription for evermore government is not the cure-all this country needs. The U.S. government played a major role in causing the housing crisis; it will not provide the solution.

China Buying Oil Leases Off American Shore?
November 5th, 2009 | Author: Bruce McQuain
That’s the word from Mark Tapscott at the Washington Examiner:
Gas prices here in the U.S. are creeping back up towards the $3-per-gallon mark even as news breaks today that China’s state-owned energy firm just closed a deal to buy interests in four development leases on the American Outer Continental Shelf (OTS) in the Gulf of Mexico.
The deal, which requires approval of the U.S. government, is between Norway’s Statoil and China National Off-Shore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). This is the same CNOOC that would have bought Unocal four years ago for $18.5 billion but for pressure from Congress, according to The New York Times, quoting an energy industry trade publication.
Because it must be approved by the U.S. government, the Statoil/CNOOC deal puts President Obama and Ken Salazar, his Secretary of the Department of the Interior, which controls OTS leasing, in a difficult position.
Really? Why does it put the government in a “difficult position”? Oh, you mean the apparent willingness to sell these leases to foreign entities vs. opening them up to domestic American exploration?
The deal also focuses renewed attention on Salazar’s slow-walking of a new plan for approving energy exploration and development in the OTS, which includes approximately 1.7 billion acres, and, according to Interior, holds up to 86 billion barrels of recoverable oil and more than 400 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
The administration is moving much too slowly to open more of the OTS to development for domestic U.S. uses, according to Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute …
But it apparently isn’t moving too slowly to open up the OTS to foreign competitors.
In the meantime:
If the administration approves the deal, it will be more vulnerable to charges that the White House is being careless with U.S. national security issues in the energy sector, and that it is putting the interests of a foreign power before those of U.S. energy consumers.
If Obama and Salazar reject the deal, it will likely complicate relations with China, the emerging Asian superpower that defense experts predict will be able at will to challenge U.S. legitimate national security interests around the globe in the near future.
Oil isn’t going away anytime soon and its use is critical during any transition to alternate energy sources (which, for the most part are vaporware). Additionally, the charge that the Obama administration is playing fast and loose with US national security will resonate if the public becomes aware that domestic producers have been barred from OTC production but foreign producers are given access.
So the dilemma facing the administration is one of its own ideological making. Its “slow walking” of the plan for domestic producers to explore the OTC is a decision it made to thwart the desires of a majority of the nation to secure those assets for the US’s use. And now it’s going to hand them over to China?
That will not play well in at all in middle America.

Cat declawing now a crime in San Francisco
Examiner Staff Writer

For the couch: Some pet owners have their cats declawed to prevent damage to household items. (AP File Photo)
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco has become the first major city in the nation to outlaw the declawing of cats.
Some pet owners declaw their felines to protect themselves, or their furniture, from scratches. But pet advocates condemn the practice as animal cruelty.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors voted 9-2 to enact a ban on the declawing of cats. Supervisors Sean Elsbernd and Michela Alioto-Pier voted against the legislation.
“It is well-documented and well-understood from a medical prospective that [declawing] is torture. It is a form of animal cruelty,” said Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, who introduced the legislation.
Other California cities are considering adopting similar bans. The Los Angeles City Council is expected to vote on whether to enact a ban by the end of the year. West Hollywood banned declawing in 2003. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Berkeley are considering similar ordinances. Declawing is illegal in 20 countries, including most of Europe, Brazil, Japan and Israel.
The California Veterinary Medical Association opposed the legislation. The group said declawing should be left up to veterinarians and not politicians.
“I don’t support the board making those types of medical decisions,” Alioto-Pier told The Examiner after the meeting. “It seems misplaced. I think that the doctors and the vets should be making those decisions. And if it’s a bigger issue than that then the state of California should be outlawing that.”
Violators of the ban, such as anyone who declaws a cat or a pet owner who approves of a declawing, could face up to six months in jail or a fine of up to $1,000.
Many cities have decided to consider such a ban because a state law was recently adopted that would prohibit cities from enacting the bans after Jan. 1

11/6/09 Whitehouse picking the Fox News panels for them
White House tells a Dem strategist that FOX is off-limits http://tinyurl.com/ybub8z5 (more censorship frm the control freaks)
Posted November 6, 2009 11:04 AM
by Peter Nicholas
At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.
Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government.
One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.
The message was, "We better not see you on again,'' said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue.''
In urging Democratic consultants to spurn Fox, White House officials might be trying to isolate the network and make it appear more partisan.
A boycott by Democratic strategists could also help drive the White House narrative that Fox is a fundamentally different creature than the other TV news networks. For their part, White House officials appear on Fox News -- but sporadically and with "eyes wide open,'' as one aide put it.
David Plouffe, the president's campaign manager and author of a new campaign book, The Audacity to Win, was scheduled to appear on Fox's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren last night as he promotes his book. His appearance, pre-empted by the breaking news of the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, has been rescheduled for Monday.
White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said Thursday night that she had checked with colleagues who "deal with TV issues'' and they had not told people to avoid Fox. On the contrary, they had urged people to appear on the network, Dunn wrote in an email.
But Patrick Caddell, a Fox News contributor and a former pollster for Democratic President Jimmy Carter, said he has spoken to Democratic consultants who have been told by the White House to avoid appearances on Fox. He declined to give their names.
Caddell said he had not gotten that message himself from the White House. "They know better than to tell me anything like that,'' he said.
Caddell added: "I have heard that they've done that to others in not too subtle ways. I find it appalling. When the White House gets in the business of suppressing dissent and comment, particularly from its own party, it hurts itself.''
The White House has taken an aggressive stance toward Fox. When President Obama appeared on five separate talk shows one Sunday in September, he avoided Fox.
"It would be foolish for us to just treat it like it's CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS,'' said a White House aide. "That doesn't make any sense. That would be like saying we're going to do [interviews] with the news magazines and we're going to do Time, Newsweek and the [conservative] National Review.''
The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to talk more openly about the White House's thinking.
Last month, Dunn told CNN that Fox was, in effect, an "arm'' of the Republican Party. Dunn said in an appearance on the rival cable network: "Let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is.''
As the dustup played out, Fox's senior vice president of news, Michael Clemente, countered: "Surprisingly, the White House continues to declare war on a news organization instead of focusing on the critical issues that Americans are concerned about like jobs, health care and two wars. ''
Fox's commentators have been sharply critical of the Obama administration. After the president won the Nobel Peace Prize, Sean Hannity, who has a prime-time show on Fox, said he got the award for "trashing America.''
The two sides seemed interested in easing tensions. On Oct. 28, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs met privately with Clemente.
But White House aides haven't changed their underlying view of Fox.
Fox's audience is by far the largest of the cable networks, with an average of more than 2.1 million viewers in prime-time this year. CNN is second with 932,000 prime-time viewers.
Fox's viewership is not what worries the White House, though. More troubling to White House aides is that other news organizations may uncritically follow stories that Fox has showcased.
The White House aide said: "Where some of the falsehoods become dangerous is when the rest of the media accepts them as fact and reports on them, either out of a desire to tap into Fox's news audience - which you can understand, given where circulation and viewership rates are - or as some sort of knee-jerk fear of being considered liberally biased, which is what conservatives have been saying of the mainstream media for years.''
The White House's pugnacious approach to the network leaves some Democrats troubled.
Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chairman, said in an interview: "This approach is out of sync with my conception of what the Obama administration stands for and what they're trying to do. I think they'll think better of it and this will be a passing phase.''
11/6/09 The Muslim Brotherhood at Ft. Hood
The Muslim Brotherhood and Fort Hood – by Jamie Glazov
Posted By Jamie Glazov On November 6, 2009 @ 12:15 am In FrontPage | 36 Comments
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Dave Gaubatz, the first U.S. civilian (1811) Federal Agent deployed to Iraq in 2003. He is the owner of DG Counter-terrorism Publishing[1]. He is currently conducting a 50 State Counter-terrorism Research Tour (CTRT). He is the co-author (with Paul Sperry) of the new book, Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Conspiring to Islamize America. [2] He can be contacted at davegaubatz@gmail.com [3].
FP: Dave Gaubatz, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday at Ft. Hood, Texas. Because you are the co-author (with Paul Sperry) of the new book Muslim Mafia [4], I would like to ask you this: are there any correlations between your message in the book about the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the murder spree at Ft. Hood?
Gaubatz: Thanks Jamie.
Yes. The murders by Malik Nadal Hasan at Ft. Hood, TX are not a ‘lone wolf incident’ as being described by most media organizations. Hasan had been taught the ideology that is being advocated by hundreds of Islamic scholars and Imams in the U.S. We as a country can continue to deny there are numerous Islamic leaders and their supporting organizations such as CAIR, ISNA, MSA, and MANA, to name a few, who advocate killing innocent men, women, and children whom they allege ‘oppress Islam.’
How many more incidents similar to this that have been occurring in America does it take before even the media wants to report the truth? Politicians will always say or do whatever will get them their next vote in an upcoming election, but there was a time in our history when journalists reported everything and were not concerned with ‘political correctness.’
This type of journalistic reporting is dangerous and in itself is a national security issue. Journalists and their affiliated news organization are so afraid of being labeled or sued by organizations such as CAIR that they will withhold the truth from the American people. In part, the murders of innocent people are partly the fault of such journalists and politicians who support organizations such as CAIR.
FP: Your thoughts on CAIR and what happened at Ft. Hood?
Gaubatz: My team and I have conducted first-hand research at over 200 Islamic Centers in the U.S., and in various Islamic organizations such as CAIR. There is one common denominator: There is an open hatred being advocated by Islamic scholars toward Christians, Jews, and Muslims who do not adhere to ‘all aspects’ of Sharia law (Islamic law).
The materials being distributed by these scholars are very clear in their message: violence against anyone who “oppresses” Islam is justified. It makes them subject to the punishment of death. Rifqa Bary (the 17-year-old Muslim girl who left Islam for Christianity) tried to speak out, but has been ignored. Many more Muslims have tried to speak out but the PR machine of the Muslim Brotherhood (backed by Saudi and Egyptian money) keeps them silent.
Young Muslims know what is being taught at their mosques, but have no other choice but to follow their parents and the Imams. If they try to speak out they know there are few politicians, law enforcement, lawyers, or judges who will help them. They are afraid of becoming the victims of people like Malik Hasan who will carry out the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
FP: Can you give us some examples of what Muslims in America are being taught and why you believe Malik Hasan was carrying out the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Gaubatz: Jamie there are numerous examples. I will provide a few. Investigative journalists need to ask Imams across our country what these following statements mean and if it is likely and very possible that Muslims could use these teachings to commit acts such as occurred at Ft. Hood, Va. Tech, ‘Trolley Square” (SLC, UT), and numerous other locations.
[1] “The objective of Islamic Jihad is to put an end to the dominance of the un-Islamic systems of government and replace them with Islamic rule, Islam intends to bring about this revolution not in one country or in a few countries but in the entire world. Although initially it is the duty of every member of the Muslim party to work for revolution wherever he lives the final purpose is nothing but a world revolution. Any revolutionary ideology which upholds the good of all mankind, and is not of a mere national unit, cannot limit its horizons to those of any single country or nation.”

[3] “It is learnt from this Hadith that physical jihad will continue right till the day of resurrection and will be waged as such in some part or the other of the world”. We do not deny the benefit of waging an academic and intellectual war. However, an intellectual war alone cannot be fought everywhere. There are special places and occasions for it. In short, despite waging a jihad with the tongue, pen, rationale and intellect, the Muslim community cannot be absolved of the duty of waging physical jihad.”

Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet. Towards this end, Islam wishes to press into service all forces which can bring about a revolution and a composite term for the use of all these forces is ‘Jihad.’
Pamphlet: “Jihad in Islam,” pp.9 -10. Syed Abul A’al Maududi (founder of JI terrorist organization).
FP: Where do Muslims get this type of material?
Gaubatz: This type of material is openly provided to Muslims across America. Islamic scholars have convinced our politicians, courts, and law enforcement that this type of material is covered under our U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.
Americans need to determine for themselves if the calling for the destruction of our country and the safety of our children was intended by our forefathers. I believe most reasonable people would say violence advocated against innocent people was not the intention of our forefathers, thus this conclusion would leave open the debate that many current politicians are not reasonable people and/or have been ‘bought’ by professional lobbyists within CAIR and similar Muslim Brotherhood organizations. Their personal agenda is leaving our country vulnerable to attack from within.
FP: Final thoughts on the Ft. Hood tragedy?
Gaubatz: Expect more. Israel has endured ‘suicide/attacks’ similar to this for many years. Malik Nabal Hasan is a terrorist supporting the ideology of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and yes, CAIR. In Palestine, the leaders send out the young and vulnerable to carry out the murders in the name of Islam. The same is happening in America.
Support organizations such as ACT! for America [5] because these Americans are educating themselves about such organizations as CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. They are great people who care about our country and the innocent people worldwide. I encourage everyone to not only read the book Muslim Mafia, but to conduct their own research of the information outlined in the book. Paul Sperry did an outstanding job. Provide a copy to your local politicians and law enforcement officials and ask them what they are doing to protect innocent people in their localities from the Muslim Brotherhood ideology.
FP: Dave Gaubatz, thank you for joining us, for your courage to tell the truth, and for standing up for America.

ShareJack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric, blasted the Obama administration and Congressman Barney Frank this morning telling a banking audience that the Democrats’ actions to restructure the entire economy are “insane.”
“I hope that the New Jersey and Virginia governor’s race will put some realism into this administration,” Welch told an enthusiastic crowd at the Bank Administration Institute convention at Boston’s Convention and Exhibition Center. “I hope it will cause them to pause and not just jump into anything they encounter.”
Welch was referring to the races on Tuesday where Republicans bested Democrats, a sign some say that voters are unhappy with President Barack Obama’s handling of the country.
“I desperately want more thought so we don’t throw out some of the great things we have in this country,” Welch said to more than 1,000 bankers who watched the 73-year-old via video hookup. “Right now, Barney Frank has the floor. He can send us down paths that might be bad for us. That’s frightening. I hope the elections in those two states will slow the speed at which we are attacking climate change, financial regulations and health care. We can’t just pile up deficits and restructure the entire economy in 12-18 months. It’s not doable. It’s insane.”

Stimulus saves nine out of every five jobs

I've always believed that President Obama will take credit for saving 2 million jobs as long as there are 2 million jobs left in the United States. But his jobs report apparently goes beyong this, the Associated Press reports, taking credit for saving jobs that really don't exist.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.
The Georgia nonprofit's inflated job count is among persisting errors in the government's latest effort to measure the effect of the $787 billion stimulus plan despite White House promises last week that the new data would undergo an "extensive review" to root out errors discovered in an earlier report.
The over-estimates of jobs "created and saved" are actually far more extensive than that -- in one small segment of the Department of Health and Human Services, AP found that the count of "jobs saved" was inflated by more than 50 percent, or about 9,000.
But the biggest problem with Obama's numbers is conceptual. Let's say that government spends $100 million on orange traffic cones, causing their manufacturers to hire 500 new people. If that $100 million hadn't been borrowed from investors and banks that buy up treasuries, could it not have gone toward a new start-up business that develops drugs or the next i-Phone? Could it not have put several credit-worthy borrowers into new homes?
Obama's job numbers, even if they are scrubbed of their many obvious inaccuracies, can never account for these hidden costs of government deficit spending.

Connecting the “media justice” dots
By Michelle Malkin • November 3, 2009 01:50 PM
I’ve been spotlighting various members of the speech-stifling “media justice” mob over the past few weeks (here and here).
They are Marxist-inspired activists seeking to crack down on conservative political speech under the guise of combating “hate” and crusading for “diversity.”
Remember:
“Social justice” = redistribution of wealth and economic “rights.”
“Media justice” = redistribution of speech and First Amendment rights.
Noel Sheppard digs deeper into the Center for Media Justice and finds some very familiar worms.
Putting the pieces together, an organization that Jones is on the board of founded the Youth Media Council which is now the Center for Media Justice. A representative of CMJ is the contact person for this new coalition looking to target Limbaugh, Beck, Dobbs, et al.
Coincidence?
Not likely, for a look at CMJ’s Facebook page revealed an interesting post on September 29 (emphasis added):
Tell Fox News to Stop the Witch Hunts! Join CMJ and Color of Change to stop Glenn Beck’s program!
As NewsBusters reported on August 12, Jones was a founding member of Color of Change, the group that started an online petition calling for advertisers to stop sponsoring Glenn Beck’s television program.
But this gets better, for CMJ’s Facebook post sent readers to its “Actions” page. There, readers can find a September 11 headline, “Tell Fox News to Stop the Witch Hunts!” The embedded link sent readers to — wait for it!!! — Color of Change’s Beck petition.
This was posted at CMJ’s website just five days after Jones was forced to resign as Obama’s green jobs czar.
Now, roughly seven weeks later, a new coalition has been created using the same phrase “Stop the Witch Hunt” for its name, and its contact person works for CMJ which was not only founded by an organization whose Board of Directors includes Jones, but also worked with Jones’s Color of Change to get advertisers to stop sponsoring Beck.
If you still think this is all just a coincidence, might I interest you in some swampland?
Know your enemy.
