http://townhall.com/columnists/calthomas/2011/10/06/christies_right_decision/print New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie probably had more suitors than Portia in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and yet in the end he made the right decision not to run for president. It was the correct decision on several levels. First, the media, which loves to build people up in order to tear […]

I am not the first to note the vast differences between the Wall Street protesters and the tea partiers. To name three: The tea partiers have jobs, showers and a point.
No one knows what the Wall Street protesters want — as is typical of mobs. They say they want Obama re-elected, but claim to hate “Wall Street.” You know, the same Wall Street that gave its largest campaign donation in history to Obama, who, in turn, bailed out the banks and made Goldman Sachs the fourth branch of government.
This would be like opposing fattening, processed foods, but cheering Michael Moore — which the protesters also did this week.
But to me, the most striking difference between the tea partiers and the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd — besides the smell of patchouli — is how liberal protesters must claim their every gathering is historic and heroic.

Yom Kippur Guide for the Perplexed
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger,\Based on Jewish Sages
http://www.theettingerreport.com
1. Yom Kippur’s central theme is the plea for forgiveness from fellow
human-beings, highlighting the most essential attributes of constructive
leadership, healthy relationships and family and national cohesion: humility
(admitting fallibility), faith, soul-searching, thoughtfulness, being
considerate, compassion, accepting responsibility, minimizing personal
hostility, magnanimity. In order to penetrate the heart of fellow
human-beings, the plea for forgiveness must emanate from the heart. Yom
Kippur is not driven by punishment, but by behavioral-enhancement.

Five Truths About Climate Change
During the decade that Al Gore dominated the environmental debate, global carbon-dioxide emissions rose by 28.5%.
Over the past two months, environmental activists have held protests at the White House and elsewhere hoping to convince the Obama administration to deny a permit for the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Some of those same activists have launched a series of demonstrations called “Moving Planet” to move “the planet away from fossil fuels towards a safer climate future.” And next month, leaders from dozens of countries will meet at the 17th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa.
