I have been generating these blast e-mails for a year, now; I had been prodded to do so by a friend who has been into social media for years, and the prospect of Guzzardi running against Corbett triggered an effort to create a set of recipients. Thus, ~1065 pages were disseminated regarding all the errors being committed by BHO and, over the summer, focus was increasingly trained on efforts by the Heritage-Foundation and Senator Ted Cruz to defund ObamaDontCare. After the micro-shutdown of the Federal Government, a gradual shift occurred towards the Middle East, but sensory-overload began to be experienced. That is why, starting in early December, I attempted to focus on action-items in this new set of blast e-mails andduring the subsequent -yearhave written 1186 pages of hyperlinks and graphics. The pivot-point was Guzzardis gubernatorial candidacy, and the concomitant desire to nudge PAs GOP-Establishment to flip its nod to Cawley, or witness emergence of a primary-challenger; note that I was not alone in drawing this observation [Madonnas lack of political competition makes PA system particularly vulnerable to electoral tsunamis specifically cites Guzzardis experience].
I have consistently said the same thing to everyone, namely, that Corbett has tremendous weaknesses related to Sandusky *The Tom and Jerry Show+ and to his inane video interviews regarding social issues; I can hope to support the GOPs designee when compared with whomever the Dems might nominate, but that would not stop me from voicing worrimentnotwithstanding the tradition that re-election is the norm. Regardless, this has provided a vehicle to communicate ideas to friends efficiently and, then, religiously, to disseminate their reactions tersely in follow-up [themed] analyses; the net-result has been what Guzzardi could have invoked as a position-platform, for every conclusion has been hyperlinked in what may be perceived as a meta-analysis.
These blast e-mails have channeled exhaustive documentation of BHOs concerted efforts to destroy Americas Judeo-Christian Ethic. Although dozens of pages of hyperlinks remain mined but not yet disseminated [with the bulk-residua primarily focused on BHOs ideology, the Dems, the GOPs RINOs, Israel, the Culture, ObamaDontCare, and Economics], it is now possible to place newly-acquired observations within the context of previously-established conclusions [absent the need for comment] for the headlines again SCREAM for themselves, demonstrating how urgent it is to convince wavering souls of how EVIL this man has been [and, presumably, will continue to be].If anything has been missed, readers know to so-inform; the trenchant need is to help everyone [eliding over his core-base] appreciate the dangers posed by an increasingly-isolated, irretrievably-corrupt, implacably-egotistical POTUS-pretenderwho will probably be the *Imperial+ incumbent for almost 1000 more days.
Information has been conceptualized maximally in an effort to help the reader digest its profundity without experiencing sensory-overload; accompanying these observations have been updates of other projects, such as my efforts [1]to show how academe is corrupting the gun-control debate (via my in-press letter-to-the-editor, remitted to the Annals of Internal Medicine); [2]to show that there is a superior approach to dealing with Syria (via my promotion of Kurdistan, published last month); [3]to show why Mandatory Holocaust Education must be enacted ASAP in PA (via extensive lobbying,
1188
having spared the reader an update of the latest machinations of those who would prioritize receipt of grant-$ over maximizing efforts to educate youth of how this insidious and unnerving history carries contemporary import); [4]to promote firm recognition of the theology/archaeology supporting establishment of a new holiday (Yom Knisa) to recognize establishment of the State of Israel (not to be confused with its re-establishment in 1948); and [5]to show that the fundamentals espoused by the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement are grudgingly becoming mainstreamed within the GOPand perhaps the nation. Along the way, levity has punctuated efforts to cite the most pungent references, and other under-appreciated concerns [such as the recent decision to make Philly a Sanctuary-City] have not been ignored in the process.
Lets see how tersely, therefore, it will be possible to provide corroborative-updates of these concepts; obviously, the reader is invited to hyperlink to whatever topic might pique interest; feedback invited. Again, due to the sheer-bulk of what has been assembled, the key-items are highlighted, so it may be optimal simply to scan this blast e-mail for its [distributed-by-topic] major revelations. For example, although the Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world, in reality, it's very simple; Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a contiguous Palestinian state. Thus, please perceive this blast e-mail by recognizing that goodies are sprinkled throughout; therefore, as you skim the headlines, just silently confirm that each incrementally advances concepts that have already been thoroughly elucidated; this may appear lengthy, but know that a unitary story emerges from the amalgamation of cites from myriad sources *not just from conservative sites+.

Due to the sheer size of this debulking-effort, it has been divided into segments, the first focusing upon Domestic Affairs; this, in-turn, has been split into Policies and Politics *although the panoply of (mis)behavior by Dems has been segregated for a future compilation], with bullet-points of local interest @ the end. Repetition is minimized, for each article has been categorized by the primary-focus of its author; to be remitted shortly is a discussion of Foreign Policy, focusing upon Islamism that affects both America and the rest of the world and including articles dealing with Nigeria and Somalia.

Media- Lapdogs [print] rise-of-mediacracy A Breitbart News/Judicial Watch poll reveals the extent to which the public has lost trust in the media as an information outlet; the survey finds that 7 out of 10 adults do not trust the media to accurately inform them about the new healthcare law and five out of ten say so strongly. Since 2003, anti-American billionaire George Soros has spent more than $52 million funding media properties, and he has direct ties to more than 30 news outletsincluding The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Associated Press, CNN, and ABC. year-end-awards-obamagasms-and-fluffing-presidents-pillow David Brooks' Paean to Presidential Power Is Year's Worst Op-Ed Media Met with White House to Discuss Lack of Access a-year-of-biased-reporting; why-the-new-york-times-won The Bonfire of the Inanities Reading the New York Times report on the defenestration of the papers executive editor, Jill Abramson, and the coronation, at a hastily arranged meeting Wednesday, of her replacement Dean Baquet, I could not escape the feeling that the Soviet press must have covered the comings and goings of Politburo members in much the same way. Post-Firing Jill Abramson Poses in Boxing Gloves 9 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE NYT'S NEW EDITOR NYT Editor Fired for Investigating CEO's Involvement in Child Sex Scandal Coverup? - On May 14, Jill Abramson, the first female executive editor of The New York Times, was suddenly fired by the paper. A myriad of explanations have been offered for her ouster, but an intriguing one flying under the radar is the ire she reportedly raised by launching an investigation into charges that the paper's CEO, Mark Thompson, had a role in a sex scandal that embroiled the BBC, as Breitbart News previously reported. Lies and Intimidation; The Tools of Media Matters MEDIA MATTERS declared victory over FOXNEWS
George Soros-funded hit group Media Matters for America declared victory over its arch-nemesis Fox News. In a puff piece by Amanda Terkel for the Huffington Post, Media Matters leaked that in the coming years, Fox will no longer be the center of Media Matters universe. What changed? Nothing, really, considering that Fox News still effectively dominates the ratings, with better numbers than MSNBC and CNN combined. But Media Matters reports that it has effectively discredited the networks desire to be seen as fair and balanced.
1197
However, polls show that simply isnt the case. The 2012 Public Policy Polling TV News Trust poll showed that 34 percent of respondents trusted Fox News more than ABC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, Comedy Central, NBC News, and PBS. Even among Democrats, Fox News polled better than MSNBC. The 2013 numbers were similar.
Fox has successfully introduced new primetime host Megyn Kelly, who is not an opinion host. Media Matters admits that it has been having difficulty targeting Kelly, with new Vice President Angelo Carusone explaining, We deal with reality. She's not as vitriolic. On the other hand, she is in some ways more pernicious because her credibility has not been completely and totally eroded ... so she has the potential to legitimize and validate smears and lies in ways that some of the more disreputable figures on Fox can no longer do, which just presents a new challenge."
Meanwhile, MSNBC, by way of contrast, has lost both Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin in the aftermath of their increasingly extreme commentary and extra-curricular rhetoric.
But that means success for Media Matters, with Carusone stating, The war on Fox is over. And its not just that its over but it was very successful. To a large extent, we won.
Media Matters has laid out its strategic plan for the coming years, and handed a copy over to Huffington Post no surprise, since Media Matters preps other media outlets regularly, coordinating with the Obama White House as well. Media Matters wants to shift to new, increasingly influential targets, including Spanish-language media, social media streams, alternative online outlets and morning and entertainment sources.
While Media Matters has declared victory, the truth seems more that Media Matters has decided that Fox just wasnt vulnerable enough to its tactics. Instead, it will move on to smaller and lesser things.

"The plan gives Negev Bedouin 180,000 dunams (45,000 acres) of state land for free, additionally granting them 'compensation' for the state land many Bedouin are currently squatting on. Arab and left-wing opposition to the bill focuses on it moving 30,000-40,000 Bedouins from illegal outposts and villages, and demolishing 40 illegal settlements....
"About 260,000 Bedouin live in Israel, mostly in and around the Negev in the arid south. Members of this minority regularly settle on land they do not own, and then violently refuse to evacuate it. The Prawer Plan would have offered some of the Bedouin generous compensation for land they had grabbed, and relocated them to communities that could receive proper services from the state.
"The Bedouin leadership refused to accept the plan, which they claimed violates their rights. According to nationalists, this is because the Bedouin know that they have more to gain by continuing to grab land by force.
"Thus, the object-lesson again is that gifts project weakness, and increase appetite of those who claim ownership."

A truly (or even partly) sovereign Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria is inconsistent with Israels security. Israel will never offer a degree of sovereignty that will be acceptable to the PLO. 2. Any Jewish sovereignty between the Jordan and Mediterranean is inconsistent with the PLOs reason for being. The PLO will never recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people, and will never stop trying to end the Jewish state. 3. The PLO is unstable, corrupt, and incapable of protecting itself against radical elements (Hamas, Salafists, etc.) and therefore could not deliver peace in return for concessions, even if it wanted to.

Firebombs on Bat Mitzva Girls Bus, Only Arutz Sheva Reports It, Israel National News, May 15, 2014
1204
Four terrorists hurl firebombs at bus near Hevron, engulfing it in flames, but media ignores story, preferring to cover Jewish graffiti.
A well-planned firebomb attack on a bus full of Jewish schoolgirls.
Tuesday could easily have ended in tragedy, but no news source even reported that it took place, except for the one you are currently reading Arutz Sheva.
The girls were sixth-graders from a religious school in central Israel. They were on a bat mitzvah tour of the Cave of Machpela in Hevron, a site recognized by the government as an official heritage site, when four terrorists ambushed it with firebombs.
The mother of one of the girls, who was accompanying the trip, told Arutz Sheva that the ambush had been well planned. She described moments of horror when the firebombs exploded, one after the other, on the buss windows, east of the Halhoul bridge, as the bus made its way back from Hevron.
This was a bat mitzvah trip that had been approved by the Ministry of Education, which included a visit to Rachels Tomb. The buses were bulletproofed and had an armed guard, she said.
Chananel, the womans son, whose sister had been on the bus, wrote on Facebook on Tuesday: Three firebombs exploded on the bus. It was a direct hit. The bus was engulfed in flames and the girls and the mothers in the bus screamed, cried, leaned down toward the floor. There was a smell of burnt plastic.
This time, it ended without injury. The driver stepped on the gas and the bus was fortified. The traumatic effects are not known at this point I dont even want to write how it could have ended.
Alluding to the latest incendiary comments by leftist writer Amos Oz, he added: Neo-nazis are not Nazis and Price Tag must be denounced and we are more moral and therefore a higher moral standard is required of us. Fine. But come on, we had better look reality in the eye and understand how twisted it all is. If I had doubts about the justness of the right wing struggle on this issue, then they are all gone. Leftists, media, government, army, Shin Bet and the other people living in a fantasy world wake up.
No Israeli or foreign news source is known to have reported the incident. However, incidents involving graffiti by Jewish youths have been receiving front page coverage and government ministers have called for their classification as terror acts. Apparently influenced by
1205
Israeli media and politicians, the United States has also equated the Jewish nationalistic vandalism with terror.
Arutz Sheva was founded in 1988, after Rabbanit Shulamit Melamed experienced an attack on a bus she was in, and was shocked to hear the radio report about the event, which made it sound as if the Jews on the bus had been the attackers and not the victims. She turned to her husband, Beit El co-founder Rabbi Zalman Melamed, who established Arutz Sheva together with Beit El co-founder Yaakov Ketzaleh Katz. The incident Tuesday in Hevron proves, sadly, that more than 25 years down the line, the problem that made Arutz Sheva necesary has only gotten worse.

As perhaps has become obvious, my major resources are Breitbart/Drudge [for national/international issues] and PoliticsPA/KeystoneReport [for statewide/regional issues, amplified by Facebook postings; whenever balance is required, dutifully included are articles from leftie-sites [Slate/TalkingPointMemo] but, frankly, these latter pieces are less driven by facts than by promoting a predictable agenda. Indeed, when asked whether there can truly be an action-item that lowly-individuals can pursue regarding how BHO treats Israel, for example, I hope that people will cement the connection between BHOs admittedly-disastrous foreign-policy *following from behind+ and his increasingly-disastrous domestic policy that is drowning him in burgeoning-scandals, incompetent-negligence and Dem-flight; such observations should be disseminated ASAP [to friends/family/acquaintances/everyone], so that people can become steeled to act in the mid-terms to amplify upon the shellacking of 2010.
Yesterday, I attended a mini-rally for Corbett and, while shaking his hand, I told him of personal efforts being made to help Guzzardi [and those with whom he worked closely] to close-ranks; all requite e-mails are being sent to the private-address of a colleague, with the point being that, until/unless BHO completes his term, party loyalty is needed to minimize derivative-damages of this Imperial-Presidency; putative-enablers must be exposed and helped to disclaim his actions, as BHO grapples with dissent from Dems. Provided herein is a rather terse e-mail exchange, empowering the reader accordingly:

Robert,
You cannot bridge the gap between limited government philosophy (which today means LESS government) and Big Government Establishment Republicans. I have no wish to heal anything. They need to go because they are WORSE than Democrats.
I will only support and vote for limited government candidates not the lesser of two evils. Would I support a moderate Nazi who only wanted to kill some Jews instead of the other Nazi who wanted to kill all Jews? Would I have voted for someone who wanted to fix slavery or someone who wanted to eliminate the abominable practice?
An extreme illustration? No. The fight against Big Government is a moral issue as well.
Governor Corbett has spent more than any Democrat and handed out at least as much corporate welfare pork as Fast Eddie did. Which political party CREATED the PSERS pension fiasco? The Republicans under
1214
Governor Ridge. Which party had the last massive gas tax hike to fix infrastructure? The Republicans under Governor Ridge. I could go on
Here is some research from Leadership for Liberty:
From: Robert B. Sklaroff, M.D. Sent: Friday, May 16, 2014 2:46 PM To: 'Bob Guzzardi'; 'Joe Hilliard' [and nine others]
Before addressing the issues in which we are now engaged, it is desirable to neutralize an underlying force *which I didnt solicit+:
Godwin's law (or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) [1][2] is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1" [2][3] that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes
1215
on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.
Promulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, [2] Godwin's Law originally referred, specifically, to Usenet newsgroup discussions. [4] It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles and other rhetoric. [5][6]
There are many corollaries to Godwin's law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself) [3] than others. [1] For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress. [8] This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's law. It is considered poor form to raise such a comparison arbitrarily with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized corollary that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's law will be unsuccessful. [9]
Godwin's law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one's opponent) with Nazis often referred to as "playing the Hitler card". The law and its corollaries would not apply to discussions covering known mainstays of Nazi Germany such as genocide, eugenics, or racial superiority, nor, more debatably, to a discussion of other totalitarian regimes or ideologies, if that was the explicit topic of conversation, since a Nazi comparison in those circumstances may be appropriate, in effect committing the fallacist's fallacy. Whether it applies to humorous use or references to oneself is open to interpretation, since this would not be a fallacious attack against a debate opponent.
While falling afoul of Godwin's law tends to cause the individual making the comparison to lose his argument or credibility, Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate. [10] Similar criticisms of the "law" (or "at least the distorted version which purports to prohibit all
1216
comparisons to German crimes") have been made by Glenn Greenwald. [11]
Therefore, I hope it is fair to assume that the response of {the author of the above e-mail} to this e-mail will integrate some sort of retreat from this metaphorical approach; not only was the reference irrelevant, but it was reprehensible [a concern that is currently heightened because of my deep engagement in efforts to mandate Holocaust Education in all public/charter PA schools]. Thus rather than wander into the weeds and attempt to parse-out the multiple fallacies in your metaphor, Ill simply tackle the substance of what you wroterecognizing that Guzzardis imprimatur {of the character of this person} carries tremendous weight.
The morality of big-spending of the RINO-Establishment is to be distinguished from its operational reality; we share revulsion when Comcast and Penn receive tax-breaks, but nobody is raped/murdered in the process. True, white collar crime is insidious, but diagnosing and treating its manifestations does not entail determining whether the Death Penalty is warranted.
Therefore, You CAN bridge the gap between limited government philosophy (which today means LESS government) and Big Government Establishment Republicans by examining each bill in much the same way Guzzardi has applied a Liberty Index. This is not all/nothing; purists lose when not attempting to find common-ground [without compromising fundamental principles]. For example, one cannot reasonably cut-off all $-support for Penn State; if nothing else, it would be unconstitutional. Similarly, governments big and limited will BOTH provide generous disaster relief [although the rebuilding effort would have to be scrutinized to ensure the Sandy-style over- generosity and mis-appropriation isnt emulated+.
{On the other hand, there can be greater scrutiny over Penn State, a concern I raised after having attended a graduation @ Kutztown; this is a story that will be deferred now, but is available [with documentation].}
You will need to overcome your emotional-rejection *I have no wish to heal anything. They need to go because they are WORSE than Democrats.+ because, if nothing else, they have the votes; its preferable to work with people to help them appreciate [and then integrate+ your viewpoint *and, indeed, encourage them to own ideas they may subconsciously absorbed from your lips+. Ones suasive capacity is maximized when ones fingerprints are erased *and one can quietly enjoy the fruit of ones handiwork by gazing @ an endpoint from the rear of the room.
1217
Guzzardi and I have debated [for a decade-plus+ whether its better to retreat to the wilderness vs. whether its better to try to follow Buckleys Law *support the most electable conservative+; we saw ObamaDontCare passed while the GOP was ostracized so, as far as Im concerned, I won that argument. Thus, as distasteful as it may be to deal with double-dealers like Boehner, we need to help people like Sasse while doing so; its called multitasking, and we must focus on the long-term. THUS, concurring with Guzzardi *Let us see if Mike Vereb finds out who is behind Pa Taxpayers for Integrity + seems to be a reasonable approach; merely the interaction will break long-established log-jams and carry implications that could prove mutually-beneficial.
,To a reply by Guzzardi, I wrote: I concur totally with your premise *Government budgets, and even personal budgets, have a moral dimension+, but note that this is not a controlling consideration; specifically, it is quite dangerous to personalize public discourse, else a holier than thou outcome could supervene; mutual respect is inherent when problem-solving.]
Therefore, I am going to chat with a high-ranking GOP-official later-on today, during which a number of agenda-points will be raised, integrating Guzzardis agenda *limited government, slash budget of all corporate-welfare, defuse the Pension Bomb] with mine [Paycheck Protection, sell State Stores regardless of whatever hardship beer distributors may allegedly experience, drop Common Core, dont enlarge Medicaid, enact Voter-ID]. Regarding party-organization, we will discuss the 365-computerization effort and the ability to create Log Cabin Republicans within MontCo; finally, I will provide him the latest regarding how the PA-Federation was prompted to flip-flop-flip on its stance regarding the Mandatory Holocaust Education legislation [as detailed a few days ago].
It is suggested, therefore, that readers who agree with these sentiments resolve to act accordingly; although Spiderman II was a dud, it contained a philosophical-thread mandating involvement in the Human Condition *on all levelsprofessional, avocational and personal+ which, in Jewish philosophy and practice, is entailed in prioritized efforts to Tikkun Olam *repair the world+
This is not to say that one need become obsessed with [inter]national concerns to the expense of what is occurring at-home; for example, as another reminder of fealty to the Paterno-legend that is embedded in most of the -million voters who are PSU-alums, it now seems PSU coach James Franklin embraces being face of university post-Joe Paterno and, although PA BUDGET PRESSURES REVIVE TALK OF SHALE GAS TAX, Turzai has averred that natural gas extraction tax isn't the answer [unlike the Dems]. Also, injecting a bit of philosophical perspective into political discourse, Dick Scaife, diagnosed with cancer, has resolved to record What matters most *newspapers, in this first essay+; as a Billionaire, he has led the Trib to a point whereby its circulation has pulled away from that of the Post-Gazette. Locally, as the master plan for the Art Museum was released, an effort to Seek support for a Philly museum of Italian culture was initiated; meanwhile, Ron Hextall became the Flyers seventh general manager.

It was felt to be desirable to distribute the last blast e-mail to illustrate the level of debate that is now occurring within the GOP *to which a friend just reacted thusly: An impressive exercise of wisdom and practical expression of common sense. We wont get anywhere attempting to play ball with a petulant participant who wants to take his ball home when he doesnt like the way the game is going. Given the power base in PA politics with four players in the legislature and the governor dependent on all four to get something done, how could such a person accomplish anything in the end with such a hyperbolic response to the suggestion that working things out in the political arena is equal to capitulation before Nazis.+, and how I hope to influence its outcome. These ideas are to be fleshed-out by using hyperlinks as foils, thereby ensuring they survive being challenged by scrutiny of independently-generated information.
Each of these priorities can be vetted productively by weighing underlying trends [Conservatives Need PrudenceNot 'Moderation'; and conservatives-should-reread- milton-friedman]; such philosophical analysis would be hampered either by following the Advice for Republicans, From Two Dems [Galston & Kamarck, c/o Wash Post, who would wish the GOP to moderate and, in the process, become more like Dems+ or the views of fiscally-irresponsible RINOs [Santorum: Republicans need to care, relate more]. They would then be able to brush-off BHOs brand of Healing *comparing republicans to terrorists-kidnappers-arsonists].
In the process, they will survive unjustifiable attack [neoconservatives are wary-of-real-conservative-running-for-president] which reflects why Paul [justifiably] struggles with hawkish donors. They will then be able to recognize populist-truths that underlie the otherwise disjointed arguments by Nader [e.g., blasted Pryor on minimum wage because the senator ensures that Wal-Mart profits from federal assistance] and Libertarian-truths that underlie the otherwise disjointed arguments by Atheist Penn Jillette [e.g., who emitted a Profanity-Laced Attack Against Atheist Friend Greg Gutfeld For Not Opposing Suggestion That Atheists Leave The US].
This type of discipline would help the GOP avoid Akin 2.0 in Ga. Senate race by noting that, although the GOP war may be perceived as having become revived in Georgia, unification of the base is necessary to dislodge the liberal/progressive trends of the past century-plus [with bipartisan origins c/o Teddy/Wilson, explosion under FDR, re-ignition via JFK/LBJ, and transcendence of obscenity currently].
Although the focus in this entry is principally on domestic policy, it is desirable to recognize the ongoing disruption of traditionally successful foreign policy that is being manifest, despite recognized failures [e.g., Ukraine, Israel-Palestinian Arab negotiations, Iran, Syria, Libya, Kenya, Somalia] manifest by willful- ignorance [e.g., Iranians are Smiling-their-way-to-weapons-of-mass-destruction; Iran Armed Stolen U.S. Drone to Attack the U.S. Warships+. BHOs escapades are also fueled by a has-been anti-Semite, Carter, who warns Egypt 'stands on the precipice,' because he recoils when el-Sisi shows how to wage war
1220
against Islamists [e.g., Ousted Egypt President to Be Tried over Conspiracy; Egypt courts convict 170 in mass trials]; he barks-up-the-wrong-tree when he ignores ongoing deference to domestic Islamists [egyptian-muslims-marry-off-boy-13-to-girl-10; the-return-of-jizya-to-egypt] that were only ameliorated by Egypts Latest Constitution. Note this explanation of what is actually happening, notwithstanding BHOs efforts to support the Muslim Brotherhood:
'Year Four of the Arab Awakening' - "There has been a significant drop in public support for Islamists in Egypt and Tunisia. This development has seriously challenged the notion of the 'Islamist threat' -- the idea, widely held in some circles and often used by secular parties to discourage the election of Islamists, that political Islamist forces would never leave power once they acquired it. The same Egyptians who voted Islamists in demonstrated in unprecedented numbers against them in the short course of one year, confirming what many polls have already suggested: no matter how conservative or religious the Arab street is, it judges the forces in power by their performance, not their ideology.
In Egypt, the fact that then president Mohamed Morsi was removed by the military rather than by voters may well negate any lesson that might have been learned about the consequences for leaders who fail to deliver results. But in Tunisia, the ruling Islamist party, Ennahda, has been steadily losing support to a coalition of secular forces. And unlike in Egypt, the Tunisian army has not mitigated this process by intervening. Meanwhile, the largest Salafi political force in Egypt has aligned itself not with the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamist Freedom and Justice Party but with the military. These developments suggest that Islamists, even radical Islamists, are open to compromise once they become part of the political process.
Over the past few years, Islamists have lost their 'holiness' in the Arab world. Their once-popular slogan, 'Islam is the solution,' is no longer attractive to wide sectors of the population. Three years after the Arab uprisings, youthful and pragmatic populations are starting to embrace the triumph of performance over ideology in the region. Faced with such pressure, Islamists will have to reinvent themselves, offering practical solutions to economic challenges facing Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and other countries if they are to retain what once appeared to be their invincible popularity."
{Another article sending the same message: arab-spring, tunisian-edition.}
BHO created isolationism that supplanted the prior driver of foreign policy [American Exceptionalism], and he has revealed himself [as the proverbially-naked Emperor] to be A Small President on the World Stage for, if nothing else, commanders-in-chief-should-command *as he didnt do on 9/11/2012+. Cheney recognized that Obama Showed 'Repeatedly' He Can Be Pushed Around by Putin and it will be difficult for NATO to defend Baltic states from Russia. When even MSNBC turns-negative [Todd: In Hindsight, Clintons Decision on Boko Haram Looks Awful; Bank Robbery, Kidnapping, Drugs and Guns Fund Boko Harams Bloody Ventures], it is impossible to ignore what otherwise might be a routine event [Kerry to sign Arms Trade Treaty].Dramatizing this [should-be-unnecessary] burden is the new Crisis in space [USA takes on Russians over ISS]; one would hope that BHO would appreciate why Today's anti- democratic glue is apparently better than the glue of Slavic identity that formed the "Warsaw Pact" because it is a world view and a cultural perspective and then act accordingly [in this instance, by arming the Ukrainians-in-need, ASAP].
1221
Re-examine, for example, how BHOs continuing support of Islamist-Rebels [U.S. and Allies Reach Out to Syria's Islamist Rebels as Talks Aim to Undercut al Qaeda While Acknowledging Battlefield Gains of Religious Fighters] instead of Kurdsas advocated by myself (following-up a cowritten article in FrontPage Mag) and othershas allowed the Syrian Civil War to have become a 'Breeding Ground' for Islamists, empowering these Islamists to Find a New Way to Behead while committing atrocities [Mother Superior: Nuns Abducted by Syrian Rebels; islamist-rebels-abduct-12-nuns-from- orthodox-monastery in maaloula; Syrian interfaith outreach: islamic jihadists kidnap twelve nuns from monastery]. In the process, Kerry Likely Misled Congress on Syria and Obama Lied on Syria Gas Attack, as the violence from syria spills over into israel [as israel provides humanitarian aid to syrian villages]; Pipes has explained why it would be wise to Let Refugees Remain in Their Own Culture Zones, enunciating concept that transcend Syria and reflect what should/could occur regarding Israel. {Illustrating the absurdity of the debates promulgated by BHO is one that raged a few months ago, regarding whether Putins support for the Syrians Posed a threat to Olympics.}
Thus, BHOs Foreign Policy failures are linked to his Domestic Policy initiatives, all manifestations of his version of Liberal Fascism that David Limbaugh has dubbed The audacity of hopelessness that is Grinding America Down; who else but obama would demands a gold-medal-from-boeing? BHO promotes [along with Dems] political-correctness (which is destroying-america) and word-policing; they have forgotten that, when they (and I) came-of-age, classical *not BHOs modern+ Liberalism denoted open-mindedness and connoted intellectual-exchange based upon the battle-of-ideas. While Nancy Pelosi Told Students to Be 'Disruptors' (reminiscent, perhaps, of the Vietnam-Era Campus), their latest efforts to cleanse academe of conservatism were exposed when a Haverford speaker received national attention for slamming students because they had protested the invitation to a previously- scheduled Commencement speaker, calling them immature and arrogant. These are the clueless students who cannot defend Obamas Nobel Peace Prize, even after they claim BHO was deserving thereof; these are the lemmings who have been indoctrinated by history-professors who give obama a B because-hes-just-not-liberal-enough.
They all ignore how BHO has created a surveillance-state manifest, for example, when obama-moved-to-keep his kill-list-memos secret, forever and when people are ignored after they decry the NDAA as a manifestation of Obama's Tyranny, despite the impact of snowden. Some feel the nexus linking foreign/domestic policy suggests a raison d'tre that would explain his apparent fealty for the Muslim Brotherhood; as scandals accumulate [vide infra], they fear he would react as might a cornered-rat [e.g., recall the suggestion he may pardon all Illegals if he cant have Immigration Reform+. Indeed, noting allegedly-growing Odds of terror attack [supported by the fact that, amazingly, after a Power Outage Wreaked Havoc in NYC, it was claimed, There Appears to Have Been No Plan for This Type of Catastrophic Failure], they fear he could simply declare Marshall Law by Executive Order. When some view the fisa-court-unconstitutional *noting how it allowed for scrutiny of the UN to enhance Rices suasive capacities, a rationale clearly unrelated to national security], they envision another 9-11 [notwithstanding debate as to whether the 9/11 museum's gift shop is offensive].
1222
Additional manifestations of his arrogance arose when he pushed the stimulus [denver-spent-$600,000- in-stimulus-money-planting-trees-for-wealthy-homeowners+, during the governments micro-shutdown [obama_vows_to_veto_house_cr], as he conjures a housing-bailout, as he (and Michelle) promote zealous school lunch reform, and as he facilitates the ability of liberal mega-donor George Soros to use Political Connections to Benefit His investments and Foreign Policy Goals (as Kerry introduced the billionaire at an open forum). He probably covets the ability of poland to have seized-half-of-its- peoples-retirement-funds.
In any case, while claiming Republicans are standing in the Way of his Efforts to Redistribute Wealth, he has been purposefully divisive for his entire tenure. BHOs crew is expert at invoking the dog-whistle, recalling Geithners flip-flop allegation against Dan Pfeiffer [a spinner] that he had been told to lie to the American People [in his new book, unambiguously].
Interlaced and intransigent [due to bedrock ideology], the POTUS will never accept the possibility that racism doesnt determine everything ,sorry about the double-negative}, as evidenced by his cohorts [MICHELLE OBAMA: AMERICA STILL RACIST; Michelle O Sounds Alarm On Growing Segregation; Holder: Racial equality threatened in subtle ways; Supporters heckle white opponent: 'Go back where you came from'; NYC Heckler Calls Mayor Candidate 'Republican Slavemaster'; vicious-walmart-shooter-hunted- white-people; Youre-short-fat-and-white said a rude-bus-driver who kept-job-after-insulting- passengers-height-weight-and-race; umd-prof: in-wake-of-trayvon, its legal to hunt down children; Joint-Base-Lewis-McChord-soldier died from a racially-tinged-stabbing; and NH town urges police commissioner to quit over Obama racial slur]. One can only hope that the results of an MTV SURVEY [8% OF MILLENNIALS OPPOSE RACE-BASED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION] will translate into support for the correlative SCOTUS-decision [that AG-Holder is desperately trying to circumvent]. You know there is a problem among those who adore him when samuel-l-jackson feels the desire to go on an obscenity- filled rant-telling-obama-to-speak-in-a-more-educated, cultured-way.
1223
Attention must be paid to the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, which has denigrated itself by labeling admirable laborers *Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer+ as racists; note this hyperbole-filled reaction: There no more scummy organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center. They have $250 million and still run their flim-flam scam extorting money from dumb donors. But the SPLC also trains law enforcement agencies on who the HATE groups are and why they are bad. This is the proverbial POT calling the kettle BLACK. The FBI ought to investigate the money-laundering operations of the SPLC, and the world will be a better place when Mark Potok and his lackey's join their buddy Floyd Corkins in the pokey for a nice 25 year stretch!
Note a few examples of now BHO and the Dems/Libs attempt to control all media outlets, as has been monitored by Brent Bozell; whereas Rush decided that Going to Satellite Would Be Betrayal of his Radio Affiliates and loyal listeners, the NY-Daily-News-Shamefully-Left-Up a Mike-Lupica-Column that it knew had been Based-On-False-Information. He tackled net neutrality [with some proposing handouts comparable to ObamaDontCare for Non-internet-users], prompting aaron-swartz (the-irresistible-force) and-ron-wyden-and-darrell-issa (the-immovable-object) to save-the-internet; whether it is satire-or- rant, proposed has been a-national-email-registry, with jail-for-internet-trolls. Finally, it seems the firing of the lady-editor of the NY-Times has triggered intrigue, with some claiming she was FIRED FOR BEING A BITCH; NY-Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. denied gender bias played any part in his decision to fire top editor Jill Abramson, saying she publicly mistreated colleagues and was a poor communicator. In any case, issuance of an SOS yielded NYTs Carr TAKING ON THE JILL SAGA ['Probably been fun to watch, but not for people who work here'...'Sulzberger's failing has been picking two editors not right for job']. [That Abramson bested the Times in the PR fight and Pulls Out of Brandeis Commencement prompted issuance of this defense, regarding a story embodying hypocrisy; for example, women-waiting-tables- provided most-of-female-job-gains-in-u-s.]
All of these forces are at-play as BHOs Scandal-Sheet grows, encompassing grotesque- doj-misconduct: GOP senators call for Benghazi panel; CBS'S MAJOR GARRETT GRILLED WH CHIEF OF STAFF OVER OBAMA SILENCE ON VA SCANDAL [as Teen-almost-gets-away- with-robbing-85-year-old-vet-until-his-mom-stepped-in and a marine-vet was told-he- cant-play-rugby-due-to-active-service]; after a federal judge rejected AG-Holder's attempt to keep the courts from wading into the "Fast and Furious" documents dispute that led to him being held in contempt by the House last year, holder begged the court to stop document release and, now, the judge in this Fast and Furious case claims that a plan has been devised to achieve discovery balance [with a definitive ruling having the potential to reshape Congress' oversight of the executive branch]; and the ATF tried to block whistleblowing agents Fast and Furious book [triggering a 1 st Amendment battle].
1224
Other domestic-issues abound: because Illegals break laws [Park Employee Recalls Near-Deadly Attack by Undocumented Immigrant], Sen. Johnson will take a 'Fresh look' at Secure Communities [specifically, to examine the requirement that local police turn over fingerprints to federal immigration authorities, even as Sen. Durbin is to hold an immigration hearing [to focus specifically on the benefits of immigrants' military service] and it is increasingly recognized that this represents a worldwide challenge [FARAGE: MIGRANTS WILL COST THE UK ITS FIRST WORLD STATUS]; it is unnerving [albeit predictable] that the Minnesota ObamaDontCare Office Publicly Released 2400 SSNs; in the world of schooling, a student was suspended-for having a razor-blade while then-Mayor bloomberg expressed shock that the city couldnt fire a teacher who had used heroin [albeit not so shocked that he would do something about it]; it is alleged that obamas-epa-conducted-nazi-like-experiments-on-human-subjects, even as Launch of OBAMA'S BIG CARBON CRACKDOWN may be imminent [encompassing a RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARD] and a bipartisan Senate coalition arose to halt the nomination of Obamas pick to be the countrys top energy regulator. {Also, lest we forget, Sen. ferlo introduced an open-ended-fracking- moratorium-billwhich has not been released from Committee, fortunately.-
For all these reasons, top-five-democrat-senators-targeted-for-defeat in the 2014 Mid- Terms have been IDed, including landrieu [who, at a minority-outreach-event, said prosperity-needs-to-be-shared]; this is why Dems will monitor Republican-Tilting Independent Voters [noting that polls show the two parties to be neck-and-neck], for they are leaning right. Within the GOP, therefore, there is a lot of competition to be nominated, including in Alaska, where Republican US Senate Candidate Joe Miller attacked support of for the United Nations' Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) by his primary opponents [Sullivan and Treadwell]; on the other hand, Romneycare shadows Browns ACA protest because the law is an offshoot of Romneycare, which he supported.
1225
Regarding the POTUS-16 nomination, after Boehner 'nudged' Jeb Bush to run *because best candidates are governors or former governors+, Jeb Bush won praise in New York at the Manhattan Institute think- tank; there is uncertainty within the Bush inner-circle (Bradshaw, Murphy) and family. Meanwhile, although Brock [Media Matters and American Bridge founder] characterized Rove's Hillary remarks as 'Sleazy,' along came word of the Obama Admins probe of sports concussions [After Dismissing Hillary's]; many people are encouraging her to run [and MCCASKILL claims the GOP is SCARED TO RUN AGAINST HER, but it was just revealed that a senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation, was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence. {Also noted is a report that chelsea-clinton is a multi-faith-leader.}

I encountered a few entries that bear an uncanny resemblance to what I just remitted; they are invoked both in response to the reaction of a Dem/Lib thereto [and thereafter]:
I am not moved from my overarching premise that disappointments with and acknowledged misjudgments by the President suggest a fatal flaw in the tenet underlying the party: Democrats believe that we're greater together than we are on our own. While I do not fully discount individual rights (I am sure to your relief), I believe we have a collective responsibility (probably to your dismay) to address a broad array of domestic issues. Leaving aside foreign policy, one could argue on a case-by- case basis whether a particular program should be developed and/or implemented by the federal government, on a state level, or in localities. But, in my view, the federal government has a clear role at a minimum in setting the direction and providing oversight for domestic policy. As I listen and read, I struggle with the constitutional conservative viewpoint that appears from where I sit to place individual freedoms above societal needs. I say above deliberately perhaps, it would be somewhat more palatable if the individual and society-at-large were seen as having equal value. Gun control is a clear example of that misalignment.
I disagree with absolutely nothing, except to note the fundamental underpinning of the US Constitution, namely, that WE the People have not delegated unlimited authority to the Feds; it must abide by delineated empowerment [Article I, Section 8]. Thus, except for issues related to national-security, the rights of the individual must dominate. Note that this does not discount collective responsibility for the general welfare, but it allows for setting the direction and providing oversight for domestic policy without dominating its natural history *from conception to executionalbeit rarely to death, for RR noted that a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!+; as noted, the tug-of-war that constitutes federalism should energize. Thus, regarding Gun Control, the 2 nd Amendment must set-the-tone for the public:
GUN CONTROL PROPONENT: GUNS NO SOLUTION TO SEXUAL ASSAULT EPIDEMIC *He did not explain why his group is pushing a ban that will disarm law-abiding female gun owners who go through an extensive personal background check before being issued a concealed carry permit for self-defense because he cannot offer an alternative beyond good ol fashioned self-defense.]
While youre struggling, you are invited to grapple with the implications of gun-rights (invoking circumstances that are unaltered over the centuries):
Gun Control opponents often claim the 2 nd Amendment follows the 1 st
Amendment in the Bill of Rights to emphasize the fact that the former protects the latter. Thats why it was OK for an art-gallery-owner to
1228
make a free-speech-statement-by-leaving a vandalized-obama-painting- in-place and thats why a Facebook 'like' merits free speech protection; thats also why a Pro-Gun 17 Year-Old Girl Unseated a GOP-Incumbent, thats why republicans feel a KU-prof should be fired for having tweeted his desire for National Rifle Association members children to be the next victims of a mass shooting, and thats why it is reprehensible that 46 of 99 U.S. Senators Voted To Give Your Constitutional Rights To UN. {Recall also how a rodeo-clown [tuffy-gessling] was initially lambested by the liberal-fascists for having donned a BHO-mask (as he had done for other POTUSs), prior to his return to an enthusiastic-crowd, with some-wearing-shirts-supporting-him-and-free-speech.}
Then ask yourself whether 71-year-old Miguel Pilotos [in Miami-Dade County, Florida] would wish he had been able to defend himself against 17-year-old Jamal Jackson, who murdered him after the teen-rode-up-on-a bike and, this kid casually riding up to the old man, then without provocation, shot him in-the-head from only a few feet away as he was getting in his vehicle [per a mall surveillance video]; and then put yourself in the shoes of a man innocently riding a NYC Bus whose face was smashed as the attacker Called him A Cracker. [Recall the alternate-definition of a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, and then recognize how, again, the Constitution protects individuals.]
Another example Education: I can appreciate (although I am not fully in agreement with) your desire to have education driven locally and hence your opposition to Common Core. I can recognize inherent problems with teaching to a national test (for educational reasons, not related to content per se). I suppose I can agree that educators tend to be more liberal in their leanings and are not always tolerant of conservative viewpoints although I fail to see this as brainwashing. But I believe that Common Core opponents must advocate (as you appear to be willing to at least consider) meaningful national
1229
oversight in addressing problems in education. It is this type of middle ground that must be proactively discussed rather than just railing against those in federal/state government who are trying to address a very real problem with the poor quality of education in many schools. I feel strongly that we cannot simply fall back on charter schools as the answer to failing schools. Leaving a community without a functional school only perpetuates other social problems. In other words, the needs of one student (who may be able to escape to a better school) do not take precedence over the needs of the community for a good school, which can serve as an anchor for positive change. You may see all of this as a desire for small government and a fear of indoctrination of liberal views. Without some federal intervention, I see it as a limited recognition of societal needs.
The functions of the Department of Education should be assumed by HHS, recreating HEW; this worked just fine until Carter created the foundation for the Feds to become empowered to implant socialist thoughts within the minds of young-uns *a tendency you acknowledge when you note educators tend to be more liberal in their leanings and are not always tolerant of conservative viewpoints+. Even if you do not fear this is brainwashing, there is no necessity to create the possibility that this would transpire; noting Gates quotes envisioning universal use of Microsoft to disseminate curricula, reasonable parents would shudder to think what would dominate their kids days [absent their approval, let alone their input]. Common Core threatens the fabric of America, even before the USA was established, and it sacrifices values that made America great [flexibility, innovation, competition] to central command and control.
While you follow this statement - "This is not to say that one need become obsessed with [inter]national concerns to the expense of what is occurring at-home with a discussion of state issues, I wonder about your intent of using the phrase at-home. Somehow it feels directed here. Perhaps, I am personalizing too much based on my sometimes selfish and narrow attention to personal challenges. But frankly at times, I simply cannot get beyond the walls of my own house. You must find bridges with mainstream Rs if you want to make inroads for your point of view. Not sure I recall the issues related to paycheck protection. If you oppose Medicaid expansion, how would you propose that folks with limited means to access healthcare?
The at-home phrase was included as an umbrella to encompass all the state/regional hyperlinks that followed; it carried no import [overt/covert] regarding the ability of an individual to rule his/her castle and, indeed, threaded throughout these blast e-mails is emphasis on privacy-rights. The challenge, indeed, is to convey these concepts [plus those to follow, focused on social-issues] effectively, initially to the county-level GOP; emphasizing a search for common-ground rather than any compulsion to compromise. Paycheck-Protection would ban government[s] from collecting [private] union dues;
1230
Medicaid-Expansion is not the only way to help people who claim to have limited resources [both to access and to finance the acquisition of quality medical care]; first, they are currently functional and, second, the cost would be lower if insurers could revert to the policies extant prior to imposition of BHOs expendable mandates.
The more we learn via Gowdys Benghazi investigation, the closer we are to Martial Law [dire prediction] Obama supporters feel that if Boehner doesnt like Mexican food, he must be racist and should be removed from office *although they cant explain why]
BHO still stonewalls IRS scandal documents [suggesting Congress should invoke FOIA].
White House chief of staff was grilled by CBS'S Major Garrett over BHOs silence on VA Scandal [got nowhere] and by CNN's Jake Tapper [probing Obama's usual posture in matters involving scandal: indifference, no one held accountable, and calculated outrage without any action]. Transcript via RCP:
TAPPER: How many stories like this, how many letters like this, how many dead veterans do you need before somebody asks the question within the White House, maybe this guy isn't the best steward of these veterans? MCDONOUGH: The question, Jake, is, are we doing everything we can every day to get the veterans the care and the opportunities that they deserve? TAPPER: But you are not. This letter was sent a year ago. And you guys ignored it. MCDONOUGH: And we have been working aggressively to ensure that not only is health care expanded, opportunities made more ready to our vets, but that people are held to account, as Ric is doing in this case. We will continue to do that.
Jon Karl of ABC News, was also aggressive in the White House briefing room; after presser-Carney spouted talking points, Karl seemed dazed and a little disgusted by the his happy talk dissembling. {Also, Obamas VA Bosses blew $500 Mil on office furniture while Vets died (n.b., attitudes are set at-the-top).}
House Majority Leader Cantor backed away from stealth amnesty plan *recalling hes being primaried, the only true prod available to discipline those tempted to deviate].
Missing in every account of the administration's reaction to the breakdown of the Middle East Peace talks is introspection. Never do we read of any serious internal effort to assess what BHO, Kerry or Indyk may have gotten wrong, for it seems easier to blame Israel and "settlement announcements." [correct] OBAMA 'MADDER THAN HELL' AT VA SCANDAL [and what has he done about it???]

Michelle Bachmann wants Israel to Rebuild the Temple [sends a message, but exploitable].
New "journalists" are political activists disguised as journalists, and full of hatred; they see themselves as foot soldiers in a revolution and, as a result, they are giving journalismespecially Palestinian Arab journalisma bad name. [This is a component of the PR-campaign they continue to wage, and it should be differentiated from how the libs are trying to delimit journalism domestically by attempting to define who-is-a-journalist to puncture Constitutional protections for most any other whistle-blower; thus, although some claim Bloggers Should Support Media Shield Bill, others simply dont trust the Dems.+
Those who Want Peace should support Changing UNs Refugee Policy; Guzzardi and I wrote of the UNRWA-issue a decade ago, noting its unique carve-out for the Arabs.
POPE FRANCIS SAYS CHRISTIANS DO NOT EXIST OUTSIDE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH; this illustrates why reports of his having liberalized the Holy See have been greatly exaggerated for, even as john xxiii and paul-ii were canonized, ignored was their strong ecumenicalism [including denying the ability of the Vatican to acknowledge the wisdom of billy-graham-speaks-out-for-pastor-saeed].
It is difficult to counter those who are anti-abortion when they see premature-babies considered-medical-waste; when they read that a Nursing manager failed to call social services after girl, 14, turned up for an abortion 'with a bloke in his 40s in a white van'; and when Dr. Gosnell says he is 'spiritually innocent' and Sends Abortion-Inspired Poetry from Prison. [And they are gratified that Nancy Pelosi still cant receive communion.]
Remember that they feel we are witnessing the moral-collapse-america, promoted in pop-culture both generically [Daniels Wins Emmy for Anti-American Diatribe on 'Newsroom'; justin-bieber-makes-first- public-comments-about-anne-frank-controversy] and, in-particular, sexually [Haunted House Encourages Visitors To Get Naked To Heighten Fear; EMMYS OPEN WITH SAME-SEX KISSES, SEXUAL BANTER; emmys-full-of-vulgar-sex-shows-what-american-pop-culture-has-deteriorated-into; miley- strips-down-and-twerks-again; vulgar-miley-cyrus-wears-stickers-on-nipples-sings-into-banana] and via promotion of illegal-drugs [Emmys to Honor Late Drug Addict, Not TV Icon Jack Klugman].

They recoil when learning Vandals Toppled a Ten Commandments Statue Near the Supreme Court Building, even as they honor a New York Giants cornerback [who doesnt drink, doesnt have sex and was raised Catholic+ as the black Tim Tebow. Some recoil when reluctantly learning of increased post-SCOTUS recognition of gay-rights [george-h- w-bush was witness-at-same-sex-marriage; Labor Dept: Same-Sex Spouses Must Receive Benefits Regardless of State Laws; abercrombie: marriage-equity-the-right-thing-to-do- for-hawaii; and Texas attorney general pulls back threat of legal challenge to LGBT non- discrimination ordinance]. Their ability to cite statistical advantages [stability, etc.] of the traditional nuclear-family has eroded to the point whereby they would presumably have difficulty identifying a majority of American households that fit this set of criteria; this portends both an ongoing battle over freedom-of-speech [even regarding porn] being won by libertarians, and an ongoing battle over gay-marriage [but no triads, etc.] being won by a subset of the population that is said to represent 10% of humanity.
This blast e-mail closes by citing a few tantalizing items: Link Between Creativity and Mental Illness Confirmed in Large-Scale Swedish Study; Beatty puts reputation on line for 'last film' [about howard hughes]; mike-tyson-drops s-bomb on-fox-news-and-then-playfully-growls-at-host; new-york-uses- fake-yogurt-shop-to-catch-fake-online-reviewers; and NJ 'Joking Judge' Resigns After Losing Ruling.
The reactions to what had been sent [over-the-weekend and this-a.m.] are worthy of critique, starting with accolades [always a healthy start]:
You hit home with me on every issue. Ive learned so much from you, Dr. Bob. You converted me from a dumb D to a responsible R. I also got a gun two weeks ago and are taking lessons at the gun range where I bought it on Geiger Road, I totally believed in gun control until you opened my eyes and I became a believer in the 2 nd Amendment . Your recent blast instilled in me that I did the right thing with all of the nuts out there.
I live on a street where there are mostly men who are alone and dont work. They creep-me-out. Carl suggested that I get a gun if hes not around to protect me. The world right now is so disgusting. I walk in center city at lunch every day and ride the El home. I call it the El to Hell. I dont carry the gun, I only keep it home. Everything you say is right on target.
Regarding the Pope!!!! My children all went to catholic school and I was always up there fighting with them. The shit they would tell them was so outrageous. They are all man- made rules and laws. Please believe me on that. I think I know my bible more than they do. My children knew nothing of the Old Testament. In my Protestant religion we studied it most of the time.
Keep educating me and the rest of the world. God Bless you, Dr. Bob! P.S. At the gun range there is an old man and woman in walkers and they go there to practice and theyre good! We also met four young girls there that shoot great and last week and old man who was in the Navy in WW11 had a Magnum and he goes there all the time he said. I was shocked at all of the old people and women, you would never think it!!!! What does that tell you about how bad the US is in, right now.
Provoked by the difference between a Republic and a Democracy, an individual elaborated thusly:
It matters because in a Democracy every citizen has the opportunity to vote on every issue - a bit cumbersome in a large country - so we have a Republican form of government where the citizens elect representatives who represent their viewpoint.
Some of my relatives were involved with the Constitutional Convention and I have great regard for that document. However, I do not believe it is a sacred writ. It has been amended as needed by the changes in our values and beliefs, the abolishment of slavery and giving women the right to vote being prime examples.
As for the gun thing, I learned to shoot a rifle at age 10 (my paternal grandmother taught me) and as recently as 10 years ago I could hit the bulls eye 10 out of 10 times. I was age 70 then. I do not believe, however, that everyone has the right to carry or even
1234
own a gun. We need to do a much better job of educating our young so they can get jobs that pay a decent wage and not have to work at McDonald's because that is the only type of work they are qualified to handle. (I have spent time teaching 9th graders in an inner city school.)
It may be recalled that I had advised that Guzzardi not push for people to write-in his name tomorrow as a gubernatorial candidateadvice remitted on Friday and ignored during subsequent e-mails prompted disagreement, which I then disseminated [with my reaction] prompted receipt of these:
Bob Guzzardi, I hope you disregard Dr. Bobs advice. Corbett should and must lose. What is the alternative? A tax increaser who appeases unions and hands out corporate welfare by the bucketful while adding more and more public debt? Doesnt that describe Corbett? It would be less embarrassing and far less hypocritical to have a Democrat Governor do such things.
*
The equivalency is warranted. Compromising with immoral evil - actions and finding common ground is an immoral act.
Spending the future earnings of those not even born yet for our current comfort, security and convenience is an immoral (evil) act.
I will no longer participate, condone, accept, or compromise on that principle anymore. The problem is almost all of the Political Class, not one party or the other.
Those who compromise and work with such members of the Political Class perpetuate an immoral (evil) act. Is evil extreme? Would it be evil to take actions that ensure millions starve in the future? Arent there many other evil consequences of a bankrupted society?
Gee, we have to compromise so we will work to make slavery a bit less uncomfortable. Gee, we wont kill as many Jews. Gee, we are bankrupting the unborn and using their credit cards for our current benefit, but a few will be okay and have a somewhat prosperous life. All are appropriate and accurate analogies.
I vote in every election. I have been casting votes for fewer and fewer candidates. But I have a clear conscience. If the other side wins, then so be it. At least it will accelerate the inevitable bankruptcy. Stopping such a bankruptcy can ONLY be accomplished by a refusal to compromise anymore.
Godwins Law does not refute appropriate and accurate analogies.
My reaction to the above is identical to what I typed earlier; there is absolutely no justification to equate budgetary-decisions with the death-camps and, as far as Im concerned, the memory of the latter is besmirched by coupling it with any contemporary political prioritization comparable to the former. Also, although deep-thinking lefties such as Bette Midler claim the GOP wanted America to lose in its fight against the Axis powers, recommended is the tome by Historian Diana West [who won a Prestigious
1235
Award for her Provocative Cold War Narrative] who generates contemporary op-eds; it lambastes FDR, having provoked considerable blowback from responsible analysts, captured in multiple interviews [Glenn Beck, Tom Trento#1, Tom Trento#2, C-SPAN, 2013 Mightier Pen Award, The Villages Tea Party, Horowitz, Who Betrayed America?, West talks about the fundamental change in American attitudes and beliefs starting from World War II, with Soviet penetration into the American government, and the continued betrayal of the American government towards the American people after WWII with the cover-up of this betrayal, or as West puts it "this treason."; and (from 2012) Benghazi: US Foreign Policy and the Influence of Sharia Doctrine] and in this essay-excerpt:
At ground zero of this new dispute is author Diana West, whose recent book, American Betrayal (St. Martin's), is a hard- hitting critique of the strategy toward the Soviet Union pursued in the 1940s by President Franklin Roosevelt, his top assistant Harry Hopkins, and various of their colleagues. Ms. West in particular stresses the infiltration of the government of that era by Communists and Soviet agents, linking the presence of these forces to U.S. policies that appeased the Russians or served the interests of the Kremlin.
For making this critique, Ms. West has been bitterly attacked by writers Ronald Radosh and David Horowitz, Roosevelt biographer Conrad Black, and a considerable crew of others. The burden of their complaint is that she is a "conspiracy theorist" and right wing nut whose views are far outside the mainstream of historical writing, and that she should not have presumed to write such a book about these important matters.
In contrast to the doctrinaire posture adopted supra is the increasing efficacy of the pragmatism being implemented by conservative leaders such as dr.-ben-carson [who schooled nbcs-david-gregory-on- slavery-obamacare-and-marxism], allen-west [who explains why it is desirable to combat BHO and his- liberal-congressional-allies], fred-barnes [who cut a campaign-ad for a GOP Congressional candidate in Alabama, Quin Hillyer], newt-gingrich [who was touted to run-for-senate-in VA], and Sarah Palin [who is All Fired Up, this time OBLITERATING Obama, GOP & Rubio. These individuals contrast with others who act as RINOs such as GOP Whip McCarthy [Confident Government Won't Shut Down] or act as egotists such as bob-barr [who lives in georgias-11 th] ] and steve-lonegan [who claims to have enjoyed a dramatic surge in the polls prior to tomorrows primary+. Indeed, there has been a Rise of the UK Tea Party.
1236
When it is observed that bureaucrats spend recklessly-as-fiscal-year-ends, Conservatives split from the GOP-Establishment in numerous ways, such the Omnibus Bill [which Hides Extra $18B in Spending], the export-import-bank [which-awards-millions-to-spanish- green-energy-company plus Boeing], flood-insurance [which should be phased-out], and the water-bill [proposed revisions of which are insufficient]. More profoundly, they almost uniformly deviate from Boehner on IMMIGRATION, as the Left scrambles to defend release of criminal illegals, Authorities are 'overwhelmed' as DREAMERs surge into Texas, and Scholars have hit Silicon Valley for abusing guest worker program. Most importantly, these forces are being played-out, noting that a recent poll shows the candidate supported by Tea Party Patriots [McDaniel] is beating Cochran [43-36] and the GOP Establishment Struck Back With Big Dollars To Protect Boehner Ally In Idaho.
Underlying many of the libertarian viewpoints which resonate among conservative republicans is the philosophy of ayn-rand [noting that the 'Atlas Shrugged' Producers Turned to Kickstarter for Marketing Muscle]; although stephanie-cutter predictably sneers-at-palin, libs occasionally support her [bill-maher said, im-on-the-same-page-as-sarah-palin+. Thus, although Romney has had Nostradamus Moments, it is felt that he should not run in 16 when it is well-recognized that others [Cruz/Walker] are superb and consistent exponents of the conservative clause; indeed, the poor could use another ronald reagan. If it is true that the present allegedly-abysmal political realities reflect failure of "Right"-wing philanthropists to identify organizations and activities that can effectively advance their world view, then there are easily-identifiable repositories for donations [Madison Project, Senate Conservatives].
For Comedic relief, watch excerpts from the Idaho Gubernatorial debate, and note how it recalls The Rent Is Too Damn High Party's Jimmy McMillan at the NY Governor Debate.
Dems are obviously worried about the mid-terms and, therefore, they are engaging in the techniques that have proven successful; this includes demonizing the GOP [CA GOV BROWN ATTACKS GOP OVER BRUSH FIRES], demonizing individual Republicans [Tom DeLay, who was forced out as Republican House majority leader in 2005 because of felony money laundering charges, was exonerated by a Texas appeals court; it ruined his career, however, notwithstanding his appearance on Dancing with the Stars], demonizing the GOPs supporters *Reid and Pelosi to attend a screening of a Koch movie - 'Koch Brothers Exposed: 2014 Edition'], stroking their base by demonstrating intransigence against the GOP [Senate stumbled over energy bill due to acrimony between Reid and Republicans], financing 3 rd parties [Quinnipac predicts unprecedented Libertarian surge in Virginia governors race when a Poll showed the Virginia Governor's Race was a Dead Heat], supporting voting-fraud [as alleged by an ousted-dems- campaign-manager and as manifest when ACORN WAS REBORN IN NYC MAYOR'S RACE], breaking rules [colo-governor-violated-gifts-ban], depending on union-muscle [Feds Move to Unionize Home Health Care Workers], and obfuscation/delay [Judicial Watch's IRS Investigation Leads Directly to Washington].
The depth of egotism evinced by Dems is c/w The Narcissistic Creed, now that preening has replaced thinking; as a result, the ability to engage in responsible self-government has been diminished. This explains their behavior when city governments fail at revitalization; their reaction is to try to empower HUD to dismantle local zoning regulations, d/w the Dems New Outrageous Property Rights Power Grab. This also explains why Rep. Issa characterized the disclosure by Cummings of his secret Libya Trip Details as 'Reckless,' for issa-feared he would be targeted-by-terrorists. All the while, this explains why they feel entitled to gain personally from governmental service [obamas former deputy chief-of-staff joins board of company awarded-millions-of-
1237
federal-contracts and A Green Car Named Desire - Electric car subsidies for the rich are now a drain on California's budget] with The Forgotten Taxpayer footing-the-bill.
In a page out of Orwells Newspeak. nancy-pelosi-said-tax-cuts-are-spending, Dems claimed 'Raising the Debt Ceiling Does Not Increase Our Debt'; meanwhile, the GOP transiently entertained the idea of promoting A New Debt Ceiling Supercommittee. And, lest we forget, when projecting a possible plan by Hillary to run in 16, note that Hillary was Fired from Watergate Committee for Lying and Unethical Behavior [per a Lifelong Democrat+. ,Also noted regarding 16 is a quote from Rubio; he claims There's 'No Responsible Way To Recreationally Use Marijuana, contradicting personal experiences of millions.'}

Noting the upcoming elections, prognostications regarding both primaries/generals *14 & 16+ are worthy to captureif only to buoy GOP spiritsas todays selected hyperlinks are meta-analyzed. Apparently, a 'Super Tuesday' Primary Preview suggests the GOPs Civil-War will continue to rage [alas, not in PA, mostly, except for a few state-committee races]. More importantly, a Battleground Poll Points to GOP Victory; ELECTION DISASTER LOOMS for Dems due to unpopularity of both BHO and Obamacare; this is compounded by a POLL concluding the DEMS are in-trouble regarding ABORTION because, according to Politico, 80% of likely voters in competitive states favor some restrictions on abortion; 35% favor parental notification and a cut-off date for late term abortions, 34% call for a nearly total ban on abortion with exceptions of rape and incest, and 11% favor a ban on abortion in all circumstances. [Only 19% agreed to the right to an abortion with no restrictions, and 1% declined to answer.]
In other electoral news, regarding the GOP, a super-pac-mail-piece-in-mississippi-played the-todd-akin-card-on-mcdaniel [who is in the lead, notwithstanding the fact that one of his supporters photographed the invalid-wife of his incumbent-opponent, Cochran]; a Pro-Enforcement Advocate D.A. King Endorses Karen Handel due to her strong opposition to Amnesty; and a fl-redistricting-suit-goes-to-trial, filed by allen-west. And, regarding the Dems, Obama Pushed Senate Dems to Change Filibuster Rules (Again); OBAMA'S OFA LAID-OFF HALF OF PAID STAFF; and Sandra Fluke Lost a Key Endorsement in California State Senate Race.
Regarding Illegals, as predicted, Illegals freed by Obama later committed 19 murders, and statistics pose grim outlook for 36,007 newly released criminals; the Left is now scrambling to defend release of the criminal illegals. Building upon evidence that current law is not being enforced [AIR FORCE BASE HOUSING 1000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN; ICE WON'T DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TAKING

Jeff Denham [CA, R] Ignored Cantor and Pushed ENLIST Act Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, despite reports last week that House Republican leaders will not allow a vote on the bill that would allow for creation of military green cards.
That there is now an IMMIGRATION COUNTDOWN was corroborated during the phone call this-p.m. with Heritage-Action; TRUMP BLASTED this initiative, disclaiming the suggestion by the Labor Dept that the USA needs more foreign workers. Illustrating the profound neglect of law enforcement on the federal level, it was revealed that the DHS Has Not Asked for Visa Restrictions to Prevent Criminal Immigrant Releases in over a Decade. {My suggestion would be initiation of a Willie Horton ad-blitz.}

In other scandal-sheet updates, Feinstein characterized the Benghazi Select Committee a 'Lynch Mob' as Issa compared the Benghazi probe to Watergate; others claimed that targeting of political dissent by the IRS represents a clear and present danger to the American Republic. {In this regard, Mark Levin said there are a lot of people who dont appreciate the Constitution, and dont deserve liberty or what it takes to preserve it.}

Regarding other issues, it was claimed conservatives-can-outsmart-liberals on issue of inequality, as a FNC-lib [Kirsten Powers] detailed why Liberals are currently in their Dark Ages; true to form, MSNBC'S HARRIS-PERRY said the ABRAMSON FIRING CAN BE BASED ON MERIT, and most everyone discussing it is SEXIST [JUST LIKE ALL OBAMA CRITICISM is racist]. Bloomberg weighed-in on a few issues [Michael Bloomberg's Subtle Shift: 'Expanded Background Checks' Now 'Rational Background Checks'; Bloomberg: GOP Shouldn't Attack Harry Reid Because No One Knows Who He Is; and Bloomberg: Hillary Is A 'Spectacular Candidate']. Also, a Dishonest Rewrite of the Duke Lacrosse Case emerged, with its author tainting the students who were falsely accused.
Regarding the Environment, Gallup found that Only 3% Call Environment 'Most Important Problem'; this didnt stop the Dems, as Kerry delivered a graduation rant on 'global warming' and Feinstein Blasted Environmentalists on the Drought.
It is advised that anyone who is not yet convinced that Common Core is dangerous is invited to view a well-produced Documentary; a common-core-lesson even teaches-that-america-is-a-racist-nation. Defending it is difficult and predictable, as the NY Ed Commissioner claimed Common Core Opponents Want Segregation and Inequality and michelle-obama advised high-school-grads to monitor-your- parents-for-thoughtcrime. *The Dems cant resist claiming everything is Racist; more sinister, here, could be the suggestion that kids spy on their parents (and, presumably, other family and friends).]
