"Two Jews, three opinions" goes the famous joke. And every day, more of those opinions turn pro-Romney, as American Jews increasingly reject the collapsing presidency of Barack Hussein Obama.
Romney's surging poll numbers in the crucial state of Florida reflect his growing success with Bubbie Molly and her unemployed grandson Adam, who both thought their right hand would wither if it ever pulled the lever for a Republican.
The signs and portents are everywhere, beginning with the special election of a Republican in Anthony Weiner's heavily Jewish, New York congressional district one year ago. Now a startling new poll even has Romney performing the ultimate miracle: the parting of the blue states, winning the Jewish vote by a healthy 44% to 40%!

Who’s ‘Politicizing’ Benghazi?
By Mark Steyn
"The entire reason that this has become the political topic it is is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.”
Thus, Stephanie Cutter, President Obama’s deputy campaign manager, speaking on CNN about an armed attack on the 9/11 anniversary that left a U.S. consulate a smoking ruin and killed four diplomatic staff, including the first American ambassador to be murdered in a third of a century. To discuss this event is apparently to “politicize” it and to distract from the real issues the American people are concerned about. For example, Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki, speaking on board Air Force One on Thursday: “There’s only one candidate in this race who is going to continue to fight for Big Bird and Elmo, and he is riding on this plane.”
She’s right! The United States is the first nation in history whose democracy has evolved to the point where its leader is provided with a wide-body transatlantic jet in order to campaign on the vital issue of public funding for sock puppets. Sure, Caligula put his horse in the senate, but it was a real horse. At Ohio State University, the rapper will.i.am introduced the president by playing the Sesame Street theme tune, which oddly enough seems more apt presidential-walk-on music for the Obama era than “Hail to the Chief.”

Enough with Affirmative Action Presidents
By Neil Snyder
I taught at the University of Virginia for 25 years. During my time at UVA, I had three deans, and one of them was a black woman and an affirmative action hire. She turned out to be a disaster. Although the president made a mistake when he hired her, the full professors in my school made up their minds to do their best to help her out because it was in our school's interest for her to succeed. Regrettably, we couldn't help her because she wouldn't listen.
Consider this example: in her first year as dean, I chaired the Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure (APT) Committee. The committee's chairmanship rotated among the full professors, and as fate would have it, it was my turn to chair the committee during her first year. Our new dean arrived in July, a couple of months before school started, and she called me at home one evening in August to tell me that she wanted to promote a particular female associate professor to full professor. The candidate she had in mind wasn't ready for promotion because her academic record wasn't good enough. That's exactly what I told the dean, but it didn't matter. She had made up her mind, and she naively expected me to follow orders. If she had had experience in academia, she would not have been so foolish.

Saving Big Bird
![]() |
To the rescue! Evil Mitt Romney wants to kill Big Bird! |
Big Bird - Obama for America TV Ad
“From 2003 to 2006, ‘Sesame Street’ made more than $211 million from toy and consumer product sales.”
Jim DeMint on Wednesday, February 16th, 2011 in a blog post
Yet, Barack Hussein Obama wants to keep borrowing from the Chinese to subsidize a program that can easily fund itself. Smart power!
Here is what Mark Steyn has to say about it: Will Big Bird ever leave the government nest?
Update: The Republican National Committee points out that in the last few days, Obama has mentioned Big Bird eight times, and Elmo five--and Libya not at all.

Claim: Obama campaign illegally solicited foreign donors via social media website
President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been soliciting foreigners for donations, an explosive report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) shows. Those foreign donors are allegedly visiting the Obama campaign’s donation solicitation Web pages through a social media website the campaign controls, and through an outside website that serves mostly Internet users from outside the United States.
About 20 percent of visitors to the “my.barackobama.com” social media website “originated from foreign locations,” the report found. That Web address is owned and controlled by the Obama re-election campaign.
“At no point during the [website's] subscription process is a visitor asked whether he or she can legally donate to a U.S. election,” GAI notes.

Obama's Poor Debate: The Affirmative Action President Exposed
Lloyd Marcus
If I were a part of the brain-dead, racist herd of African-Americans who voted for Obama solely because he is black and celebrated him winning the presidency, I would feel pretty betrayed and embarrassed by Obama's debate performance. I mean, after all, we were told by the MSM and the left that Obama was all that and a bag of chips -- the smartest man on the planet, a messiah, the one!
As it were, I am an unhyphenated American who happens to be black. I did not drink the left's racially sweetened Kool-Aid and vote for Obama. Upon studying the content of his character and comments he made to Joe the Plumber, I knew that Obama was the wrong man, black or white, for America.
So all you blacks who voted for Obama should feel pretty betrayed. The left submitted a far-left racial empty suit for your "first black president," and you fell for it. From the very beginning, the mainstream media exempted Obama from the usual vetting process of candidates seeking to be president of the United States. To this day, after four years into his reign of terror, we still know very little about this man.

President of the Future
Unfortunately the rest of us have to live in Obama’s present.
One of the reasons why Barack Obama is regarded as the greatest orator of our age is that he’s always banging on about some other age yet to come — e.g., the Future! A future of whose contours he is remarkably certain and boundlessly confident: The future will belong to nations that invest in education because the children are our future, but the future will not belong to nations that do not invest in green-energy projects because solar-powered prompters are our future, and most of all the future will belong to people who look back at the Obama era and marvel that there was a courageous far-sighted man willing to take on the tough task of slowing the rise of the oceans because the future will belong to people on viable land masses. This futuristic shtick is a cheap’n’cheesy rhetorical device (I speak as the author of a book called “After America,” whose title is less futuristic than you might think) but it seems to play well with the impressionable Obammysoxers of the press corps.

The Terrorists’ Veto
Michael J. Totten
Around the world, a campaign of religious intimidation and murder intensifies.
20 September 2012
Using riots, mayhem, and murder to “protest” an asinine trailer for an anti-Mohammad video on the Internet, the Middle East’s mobs, assassins, and hostile regimes have vetoed freedom of speech in the United States. Not only did America’s overseas diplomatic officers and staff have to hunker down under siege for a week, individual citizens here at home have good reason to fear that if they criticize the wrong religion, the response could be catastrophic for themselves, for others, or both. Neither the First Amendment nor the United States government, it seems, can do much about it.
I’ve seen this sort of thing before in another context. In the wake of the Beirut Spring in 2005, when massive demonstrations forced the end of Syria’s military occupation, Lebanon had decent provisions for freedom of speech—at least by regional standards and at least on paper. The country was theoretically free. But free speech was extra-legally and extra-judicially nullified by terrorists backed by a foreign police state. A wave of car bombs targeted journalists, activists, and officials critical of Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad. Everyone needed to watch what he said. Those who didn’t might be killed.

Dhimmi van de week
Het Europees Parlement buigt bij monde van parlementsvoorzitter Martin Schulz als een knipmes voor de gewelddadige barbaren van de islam.

Update: Hier nog een oen die zo nodig een duit in het zakje moet doen: Ban Ki Moon
“Freedoms of expression should be and must be guaranteed and protected, when they are used for common justice, common purpose,” Ban told a news conference.De uitspraken van dit soort politiek geteisem is een klap in het gezicht van iedere man, vrouw en kind die ooit op Europese bodem zijn leven heeft gelaten voor onze vrijheid en onafhankelijkheid.
“When some people use this freedom of expression to provoke or humiliate some others’ values and beliefs, then this cannot be protected in such a way.”
“My position is that freedom of expression, while it is a fundamental right and privilege, should not be abused by such people, by such a disgraceful and shameful act,” he said.

Godsdienstvrijheid is heilig dus wint de sharia
Stel, er is een conflict tussen de sharia en het recht van Nederland. Bijvoorbeeld over hoe iemand gekleed moet zijn, hoe het voedsel moet worden toebereid, hoe dieren moeten worden geslacht, wat er in het onderwijs als leerstof wordt aangeboden, of iemand een pakje papier met letters erop mag verbranden, of iemand een kruisteken op zijn kleding mag dragen, waar er een moskee moet worden gebouwd en hoe hoog de minaret dan moet worden.
De lijst gaat nog lang verder: of er luidsprekers in de minaret mogen zitten en hoe vaak die dan gebruikt mogen worden, of een bepaalde film verboden moet worden, of de bank een hypothecaire lening tegen vaste rente mag uitgeven, of mannen en vrouwen onder apartheid moeten leven. En natuurlijk de vrijheid van meningsuiting, echtscheiding, bloot in reclame, bloot in kunst, voogdij, homoseksualiteit, adoptie, slavernij, prostitutie, kinderhuwelijk, alcohol of wat dan ook. De lijst is eindeloos en onbegrensd, maar veel van die conflicten tussen de rechtssystemen maken de mensen die geen moslim zijn, helemaal niets uit.

Stelling: Anti-islamfilm moet van internet
In de bekende Stelling van de Dag van De Telegraaf staat vandaag onder meer de volgende vraag:
Veel Arabische landen
zijn instabiel en onrustig sinds de Arabische Lente. Neemt u het de maker van
de film kwalijk dat hij juist op dit moment olie op het vuur gooit?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deze vraag is misleidend. Die film staat al een jaar op het internet en is in die tijd blijkbaar door maar weinig mensen bekeken. Het oproer is pas ontstaan toen een salafistische tv-zender in Egypte er in een uitzending de aandacht op vestigde. Dus wie heeft er nu olie op het vuur gegooid?
Wie herinnert zich niet de imam die met de Deense Mohammed-cartoons door de Arabische wereld leurde en er ten slotte zelf maar een paar bijmaakte (varkenskop), om het voor elkaar te krijgen dat overal ter wereld islamieten de straat op gingen om te rellen? Deze film dient precies hetzelfde doel. Was deze film er niet geweest, dan was er wel een verbrande koran, een "islamofobe" uitspraak van een politicus of een islamkritisch boek gebruikt om deze Pavlov-reactie bij de islamitische meutes uit te lokken. De aanvallen op de ambassades op de symbolische datum van 11 september waren bedoeld als wraak voor de dood van de uit Libië afkomstige nr. 2 van Al Qaeda en om maar weer eens die verderfelijke vrijheid van meningsuiting in de Westerse wereld aan te vallen. En het is vast ook altijd leuk om te zien hoe de onnozele infidels het zowat in hun broek doen en niet weten hoe snel ze zich moeten verontschuldigen als baardmannen met veel geweld losgaan.
Mohammed zei ooit: "Door terreur ben ik groot geworden."
Zijn volgelingen volgen al 1400 jaar zijn voorbeeld.
Hoog tijd voor de pers om eens op te houden met de burger te misleiden door in alle mogelijke informatiestromen het nieuws te verdraaien. Bovenstaande vraag is daar maar een heel klein voorbeeldje van.

An act of war, not a movie protest
By MARK STEYN
Syndicated columnist
So, on a highly symbolic date, mobs storm American diplomatic facilities and drag the corpse of a U.S. ambassador through the streets. Then the president flies to Vegas for a fundraiser. No, no, a novelist would say; that's too pat, too neat in its symbolic contrast. Make it Cleveland, or Des Moines.
The president is surrounded by delirious fanbois and fangurls screaming "We love you," too drunk on his celebrity to understand that this is the first photo-op in the aftermath of a national humiliation. No, no, a filmmaker would say; too crass, too blunt. Make them sober, middle-aged Midwesterners, shocked at first, but then quiet and respectful.
The president is too lazy and cocksure to have learned any prepared remarks or mastered the appropriate tone, notwithstanding that a government that spends more money than any government in the history of the planet has ever spent can surely provide him with both a speechwriting team and a quiet corner on his private wide-bodied jet to consider what might be fitting for the occasion. So instead he sloughs off the words, bloodless and unfelt: "And obviously our hearts are broken..." Yeah, it's totally obvious.

The 9/11 attacks on the US embassies were not about a movie
Here are a couple of facts:
On June 4 the White House confirmed that the US had killed Abu Yahya Al-Libi - OBL's Libyan lietenant who had moved into Al Qaeda's #2 spot after Ayman Zahawiri after the Navy SEALs whacked OBL.
On Tuesday 9/11, a tape was released of Zawahiri announcing that Libi had been killed earlier this year by a US drone attack. The Zawahiri tape was made during Ramadan which ended in the middle of last month. Zawahiri called for his terrorist underlings to avenge Libi's death and especially exhorted Libyans to take revenge.
The attack in Libya was well planned and executed. It wasn't about a spontaneous protest against some ridiculous internet movie of Muhammad. The assailants came armed to the teeth, with among other things, RPG 7s. They knew that the US Ambassador was in Benghazi rather than Tripoli. They knew how to track his movements, and were able to strike against him after he and his colleagues left the consulate building and tried to flee in a car. As Israel Channel 2's Arab Affairs Correspondent Ehud Yaari noted this evening, you don't often see well trained terrorists participating in protests of movies.

PVV ers: stem Rutte uit het torentje, stem Wilders.
Door: Bottehond
Mark Rutte schildert huiveringwekkende vergezichten als de Samsom premier wordt. En voegt daaraan toe: "een stem op de PVV is een stem op de PvdA". Hij hengelt daarmee naar de stem van de PVV aanhang.
De vraag is hoe erg het is als Samsom van Rutte wint. Beiden zijn voor een coalitie tot elkaar veroordeeld en zullen hoe dan ook samen de kern van het nieuwe kabinet vormen. Er zal een uitruil van punten plaatsvinden. En hun compromissen zullen het beleid vormen.
Zal het uitmaken of Samsom dan wel Rutte premier wordt van zo'n compromissenkabinet? Nee natuurlijk. Bovendien zijn zowel PvdA als VVD aantoonbaar eurofiele partijen, al blijkt dat niet altijd uit de quasi stoere praatjes die Rutte voor de Nederlandse buhne uitkraamt over de EU. In de praktijk maakt het dus voor het beleid, noch voor de Nederlandse stem in Brussel uit wie premier wordt.

Laat je niet leiden door een lach en een das
Door: Ingezonden
Ik begrijp best dat mensen voor een SP of PvdA kiezen, omdat ze het eerlijker en socialer willen. Zeker als je rond moet komen van een (terechte) uitkering. Maar help je jezelf daarmee op de iets langere termijn. Zeg de komende 4 jaar. Of snij je uiteindelijk jezelf in de vingers omdat die partijen onder de druk van EU/Euro dat niet waar kunnen maken en je nog verder achteruit gaat. Zij wassen hun handen in onschuld en verschuilen zich achter de regels van de EU.
Waar komt al die hetze en het gemanipuleer vandaan tegen partijen die van de EU/Euro af willen. Vanuit de krochten van datzelfde EU. De technocraten, afgevaardigde van Banken en Multinationals als de chemische industrie. De PvdA wil zelfs, bij monde van Diederik Samsom, dat een soeverein land als Griekenland geannexeerd/overgenomen kan worden. Monti is het voorbeeld van Italië. Papademous van Griekenland. Waarbij vrije verkiezingen in het vooruitzicht werden/worden gesteld door de EU. Dat betekent dat die deur ook voor Nederland open gezet wordt. Zou je willen dat een EU dictator hier de boel overneemt?
