In the Age BSD, before Shut Down - Links I should've posted earlier and you should read
Barilla’s Chairman Doesn’t Like Gay People-So What? "I mean, are you really so starved for approval that you need it to come packaged with pasta?"
"Show me a company that’s actively hurting gay people, and then we can talk seriously about boycotts and the rest;"
The gay marriage fight isn't about equality. It's about bullying and oppression of opposition.
'LOL! Derp. Gay agenda. Hur.' No, stupid. Leftist agenda. Plenty of gay people aren't oppressive assholes. If you've got an avi that "cleverly" references the "gay agenda" as harmless or quotes Bible verses as a "clever" attack, you are one of the assholes, either clueless or aware.
Hero helped American family survive Kenya mall terror "It turned out they were not rescued by police forces, but by men from the surrounding community, mostly Asian Kenyans, who armed themselves and confronted terrorists armed with automatic weapons.
Abdul Haji, the son of a former Kenyan security minister, is one of them. He is being called a hero for providing cover fire to help evacuate some 1,000 shoppers. He persuaded the women to run to him, as tear gas to ward off attackers filled the air."
A good man with a gun.
Interviewing Mark Levin on restoring the American republic
Video: Ted Cruz Details How Democrats Held Immigration Reform Hostage For Political Gain "Cruz then detailed how he introduced an amendment to take the pathway to citizenship out of the bill but leave the rest of its provisions intact.
'And it was really quite striking. I thought the clarifying moment of the entire debate was the response to that amendment, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, looked at me and said, 'if there is no citizenship, there can be no reform.' And Evan, I took the chance to thank him, I said, 'Listen I appreciate your candor, what you have just told the committee is that you have an overarching partisan political objective and if you cannot get one hundred percent of that partisan political objective, you are willing to do nothing, zero, to secure the borders and stop illegal immigration.'"
Should chill every American CNN's Hillary Clinton film scrapped as director blames lack of co-operation
There is no Liberal media!!! GOP Reps Call Out CNN Anchor in Battle over Shutdown: ‘Whose Bidding Are You Doing?’ “'Well, have you addressed that to the Senate?' Rohrabacher replied. 'You are acting and telling the listeners that we republicans are holding this up, and the government is going to shut down. We have actually reached out to the democrats with a compromised position…'
'Don’t you dare put this back on me,' Banfield replied."
Journalism.
It Doesn't Matter If the Obamacare Defunding Gambit Fails "The current campaign to deprive President Obama's health care leviathan of the life-sustaining tax dollars it needs for full bureaucratic metastasis is what left-wingers call a consciousness-raising exercise."
"But intellect by itself doesn't always serve champions of limited government well. Sometimes showmanship and connecting with people on an emotional level is required to make good things happen. All good salespeople understand this. Andrew Breitbart understood this. James O'Keefe III and Hannah Giles understand this. Republicans used to understand this.
Although the master of political theater, Rules for Radicals author Saul Alinsky, was an irredeemably anti-American Marxist with a taste for political violence, he wasn't wrong about everything. He believed in using public spectacles to generate the friction that is a precondition of change. 'Action comes from keeping the heat on,' Alinsky wrote in his opus. 'No politician can sit on a hot issue if you make it hot enough.'"
"It's not like Obamacare was enacted legitimately. Parliamentary rules were twisted beyond recognition to get this monstrosity through the Senate without meeting the normal numerical threshold for passage. It was passed by one party alone without any affirmative votes from the other party. [I will add, it was passed without being read, it still isn't understood, and the Supreme Court ruled it is only Constitutional if it's a tax, which Democrats insist it is not while continuing on with it and it's enforced by the IRS. The lies are endless] This traditionally is not the way entitlements have been enacted. And, to boot, in the subsequent midterm election there was a wave of anti-Obamacare lawmakers elected. Democrats used fraud to get Obamacare enacted,"
"It's time to stop worrying about the Republican Party and go to war for America's sake."
Sally Kohn: Republicans are crazy if they think Obama’s the one who won’t negotiate ...followed by several links, including video, of Obama saying he won't negotiate.
Democrats do not care, at all, about truth. Only agenda.
It’s Time To Hold Progressives To Their Own Standards "They support higher taxes but shelter their wealth in trusts and tax havens, which already is earned and no longer taxable as income, so they can avoid the death tax. They claim “the rich” aren’t paying their “fair share” and decry “loopholes” but then avail themselves of every deduction their accountants can find. They will not live the way they seek to impose on others unless and until it is imposed on others, and then only maybe.
In the case of Obamacare, Members of Congress of both parties did not want to give up their superior health insurance for the system they imposed on the rest of us."
"That’s just one of many little “quirks” in the Obamacare saga. President Obama has waived unworkable pieces, unpopular pieces (for 'the right people,”' not you) and simply ignored others. Deadlines written into the law are optional when the president wants them to be but set in stone when Republicans and the American people do."
"Distasteful as is seems, this is the world progressives have created in politics today. The high-road has a nice view and a strategic advantage in a traditional battle, but we’re in a guerilla war. Conservatives have to decide if we want to win or have the satisfaction of righteousness while liberty is stripped away.
What does this guy have to do with Obamacare? Well, like the tagline for the great HBO series The Wire said, “It’s all connected.” Holding progressives to their own standards, their own rules, is the best way to win."
Newt Gingrich’s Lessons on Government Shutdown "For his part, Gingrich rejects the notion that Ted Cruz’s assault on Obamacare is an unwise tactic, instead viewing it as a stand which effectively focused the national conversation on Obamacare’s defects."
"'We are approaching, two years from now, the 900th anniversary of the Magna Carta. The idea that elected representatives of the people can use the power of the purse to negotiate. Barack Obama is not a monarch.'"
Our Upside-Down Debt-Ceiling Debate "That the House is taking an aggressive and prominent role in the process is not only acceptable constitutionally, but it is desirable - nay, normal. The Constitution makes it abundantly clear that national fiscal policy is the primary remit of the lower chamber, and that it is thus the House’s job to to take the lead on such issues. It also makes it clear that there is nothing to stop the House"
This is the truth of who wants the shut down. House, Senate, President: 2/3 Democrat, won't negotiate, want shutdown. Government shutdown: Harry Reid spearheads Democratic strategy "When the president considered sitting down with the four congressional leaders in the White House ahead of the deadline to avert a government shutdown, Reid privately urged Obama to call off the meeting, according to several people familiar with the situation. Reid believed that it would amount to nothing more than a photo-op that would give the false impression that a serious negotiation was occurring, even warning he wouldn’t attend such a session. Obama scrapped it."
