JONAH GOLDBERG: O’CARE’S TICKING CLOCK

With every passing day, it’s less likely the law’s disastrous rollout can be fixed. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/362153/obamacares-ticking-clock-jonah-goldberg Earlier this week, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski tried to call the Healthcare.gov helpline and got an operator. That’s right: an operator! The call went through! MSNBC, the unofficial AV department of the Democratic party, had a scoop. The network tweeted out […]

Strassel: Democrats Run for ObamaCare Cover

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303615304579155962427302786?mod=trending_now_1After weeks of vowing they wouldn’t cave on the president’s signature legislation, some Democrats are doing just that. Jeanne Shaheen doesn’t sound like a Democrat who just won a government-shutdown “victory.” Ms. Shaheen sounds like a Democrat who thinks she’s going to lose her job. The New Hampshire senator fundamentally altered the health-care fight on […]

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2013/10/christianity_under_attack_in_america.html According to information released at a May 9, 2013 press conference by the families of Navy SEALs killed in an August 2011 helicopter shoot-down in Afghanistan, “military brass prohibited any mention of a Judeo-Christian G-d” and “invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the […]

South African Radio Station Fined for Unflattering Mention of Islam by ANDREW E. HARROD

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/south-african-radio-station-fined-for-unflattering-mention-of-islam The Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) fined in an August 29, 2013 judgment a South African radio broadcaster for making an “unjustifiable connection with Islam” during news reports. This punitive second-guessing of journalistic conduct with respect to referencing background material such as a religion entails the most negative of consequences for a […]

JANET LEVY: ON THE DOLE AND DEFENSLESS ****

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/on-the-dole-and-defenseless?f=puball

While Russia and China continue joint war exercises and dramatically INCREASE their defense spending, the U.S. will be CUTTING an additional $500 billion over the next 10 years from the defense budget to pay for entitlement programs, such as Obamacare.

The current U.S. policy – increasing entitlements and decreasing defense spending – NOT only endangers our safety BUT undermines our prosperity! “Defense spending creates more jobs and growth per dollar than entitlements.” (This is NOT rocket science, pun intended)!

Although the U.S. has been following through with the START* (really “STOP”) program and has greatly reduced its nuclear stockpiles as per an “agreement” with Russia, Russian and Chinese client states – Iran and North Korea – have CONTINUED extensive development of their nuclear capabilities. (Obamao has stated that HE can live with a nuclear Iran. Can we?)

See summary below.

Obama’s Rejection of the American Dream – on The Glazov Gang

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/frontpagemag-com/obama-the-agitator-on-the-glazov-gang/print/

This week’s Glazov Gang was joined by Karen Kenny, Founder of the San Fernando Valley Patriots, John Duffy, a Film Producer from the Bronx, and Kai Chen, the author of One In A Billion: Journey Toward Freedom.

(See Karen Kenny’s testimony before the Ways and Means Committee in Washington, DC on June 4, 2013 regarding the IRS scandal here).

The Gang discussed Obama’s Rejection of the American Dream. The discussion occurred in Part II and focused on how Americans are allowing Obama’s assault on America’s founding principles. The dialogue also shed light on Obama Nurturing a Maoist-Style Culture?, ObamaCare’s Doom of Destruction, and much, much more.

Part II:

In Part I, the Gang focused on The IRS’ Witch Hunt Unveiled, as Karen Kenny of the IRS-targeted San Fernando Valley Patriots told a disturbing tale. Kai Chen went on to talk about his journey out of tyrannical China, while John Duffy shared his journey into and out of Maoism and the tyrannical world of the Black Panthers.

HUMBERTO FONTOVA: WAS THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS A KENNEDY VICTORY?

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/humberto-fontova/the-cuban-missile-crisis-kennedys-victory/

That Khrushchev swept the floor with Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis was mainstream conservative conclusion throughout much of the Cold War. Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater, for instance, represented opposite poles of the Republican establishment of their time.

“We locked Castro’s communism into Latin America and threw away the key to its removal,” growled Barry Goldwater about the JFK’s Missile Crisis “solution.”

“Kennedy pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory,” complained Richard Nixon. “Then gave the Soviets squatters rights in our backyard.”

Generals Curtis Le May and Maxwell Taylor represented opposite poles of the military establishment.

“The biggest defeat in our nation’s history!” bellowed Air Force chief Curtis Lemay while whacking his fist on his desk upon learning the details of the deal.

“We missed the big boat,” complained Gen. Maxwell Taylor after learning of same.

“We’ve been had!” yelled then Navy chief George Anderson upon hearing on October 28, 1962, how JFK “solved” the missile crisis. Adm. Anderson was the man in charge of the very “blockade” against Cuba.

“It’s a public relations fable that Khrushchev quailed before Kennedy,” wrote Alexander Haig. “The legend of the eyeball to eyeball confrontation invented by Kennedy’s men paid a handsome political dividend. But the Kennedy-Khrushchev deal was a deplorable error resulting in political havoc and human suffering through the Americas.”

DANIEL GREENFIELD: PRE DEPLOYMENT SOLDIERS IN FORT HOOD WARNED…..YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/fort-hood-ignored-nidal-hassan-now-warns-of-tea-party-terror-threat/print/

WHAT IS THE GREAT THREAT ???? THE TEA PARTY…..AND EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS!!!!????RSK

This story would be horrible even if it wasn’t taking place at Fort Hood. But it is taking place where Nidal Hasan was able to murder 13 soldiers despite repeatedly making it clear that he was all for Islamic terrorism because no one was allowed to hurt a Muslim’s feelings.

Fortunately they’re all over the real threat. The Tea Party.

Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”

While a large portion of the briefing dealt with the threat evangelicals and the Tea Party pose to the nation, barely a word was said about Islamic extremism, the soldier said.

“Our community is still healing from the act of terrorism brought on by Nidal Hasan – who really is a terrorist,” the soldier said. “This is a slap in the face. “The military is supposed to defend freedom and to classify the vast majority of the military that claim to be Christian as terrorists is sick.”

The soldier said they were also told that the pro-life movement is another example of “radicalization.”

“They said that evangelical Christians protesting abortions are the mobilization stage and that leads to the bombing of abortion clinics,” he said, recalling the discussion.

This kind of liberal power play leads to conservatives being monitored while Muslims get to plan their next terror attack. The Clinton Administration did this and it led to September 11.

Now it’s happening all over again.

No one responsible for Benghazi has been fired. But a man who tweeted sarcastic comments about Valerie Jarrett was purged by the White House.

This is where we are. This is what our national security looks like now. And the next terrorist attack and the one after that and the one after that.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE WESTERN LEFT’S FATWA AGAINST MUSLIM LIBERALS

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/western-leftists-fatwa-against-muslim-liberals/ Since September 11, the alliance between the Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood front groups and the Western Left has become ubiquitous. It’s impossible to read a paper or watch the evening news without encountering representatives of both groups delivering the familiar homilies about foreign policy, the tiny minority of Muslim extremists and the infinite Muslim […]

ACH DU LIEBER!!!!Did US Tap Chancellor Merkel’s Mobile Phone? By Jacob Appelbaum, Holger Stark, Marcel Rosenbach and Jörg Schindler

Germany summons US over Angela Merkel phone spying row
John Emerson, Washington’s man in Berlin, to meet with Guido Westerwelle, German foreign minister, over claims Angela Merkel’s phone was tapped by US

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/merkel-calls-obama-over-suspicions-us-tapped-her-mobile-phone-a-929642.html

German Chancellor Angela Merkel phoned United States President Barack Obama on Wednesday to discuss suspicions that she may have been targeted by US intelligence agencies for years, SPIEGEL has learned.

The chancellor asked for a thorough explanation of serious indications that US intelligence agencies had declared her private mobile phone to be a target in their operations.

Merkel made it clear that, should these indications turn out to be true, she “unequivocally disapproves” of such methods and finds them “totally unacceptable,” her spokesman Steffen Seibert said. “This would be a grave breach of trust,” he added. “Such practices must immediately be put to a stop.”
