As California sinks deeper into the Democrat quicksand of bad policy, news focuses on billionaire Tom Steyer (again) making efforts to meddle…in California politics.
Considering the Democrat track record of turning cities they run into crime-ridden poverty-traps for minorities, you’d think there would be concern for LA’s fate.
As Obama’s team continues their anti-Netanyahu/pro-Iran diatribe, it’s striking to see the contrast of those who learn from history…and those who spurn its lessons.
70 years after the Holocaust, is it any wonder that an Israeli people are cautious?
It begs the question: why is it so hard for Obama to understand? Would he, after 50 years, urge his black-American community to go back to a pre-Civil Rights era? No.
Yet, those ’60’s black Americans were suffering segregation…not being slaughtered on a scale of millions per year like the Jews in Nazi-controlled Europe.
Liberal outrage over an Israeli Prime Minister staunchly defending his country from another Holocaust rings hollow, and suggests anti-Semitism drives their argument…
…not diplomacy.
What other motive could there be for those who shrug off such historic atrocity?
Obama would have the world trust a nation that has proven itself unworthy time and again, while distrusting a nation built on the sorrows of a global blind eye to evil.
It begs another question…
On issue after issue, on foreign policy he’s chosen a ‘lead-from-behind’ strategy.
Why has he, now, chosen enabling a nuclear Iran as a lead-from-the-front issue?
Just sayin’.
The sign says it all.
Isn’t it time for teachers to hold unions accountable for their despicable acts?
Or are the teachers okay with this?
Senior Political Analyst Michael Barone authored an intriguing article today, that will give Republicans some food for thought in many future elections.
The money quote: “…successive generations of Hispanics are not, so far, turning out to be as upwardly mobile as some other immigrant groups.”
The desire to get ahead is part of our human DNA. There’s an opportunity to show Hispanics (all minorities, really) that Republican policies offer hope for their future.
How hard can that be?
After all, the GOP simply needs to point out that the Top Ten Poorest Large Cities, and the Top Ten Most Dangerous Large Cities, are all Democrat-run…
…and have been for decades.
For any minority, to continue supporting failed Democrat policy is self-defeating.
Republicans need to START SELLING THAT MESSAGE NOW!
A common human failing is to attribute one’s ideals and beliefs to others. (I.e., we see murdering religious non-believers as wrong, so other religions must also.)
So imagine what’s going on in the minds of the Iranian mullahs following Obama’s dust-up with Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s just re-elected Prime Minister.
On the one hand, Obama is making noises that he will oppose Israel, go to the UN, and join other anti-Israel countries to vote for a Palestinian state, or sanction Israel.
This could be seen as a ‘green light’ for Iran to step up hostilities against Israel.
But, Iran may be skeptical – the mullahs are well aware Islam encourages deliberate lies to further its cause…then, maybe that same screed is being used by the West?
So, understanding their own deceptive means, they see Israel capable of the same.
Which could immobilize them, through uncertainty of being lured into a losing war.
Ironic, isn’t it?
Probably the only thing that would free them from indecision was if Obama did go to the United Nations, and sanction Israel…or vote to approve a Palestinian state.
Only such an act as that would convince Iran that Obama really was aligned with them. Then, all hell would break loose when they unleashed their dogs of war.
But that’s unlikely to happen, since even Obama wouldn’t have the political will to go against mainstream America’s continued preference to remain allied with Israel.
Just as ironic, is that Obama’s poor diplomatic moves actually embolden Israel to move preemptively against Iran, making the case of feeling exposed by his threats.
As always…the devil is in the details.
Obama thinks it would be great to make voting mandatory by law in America.
Forgetting for the moment how that violates Constitutional freedom of speech…
…doesn’t he realize that, in an election, ‘not voting’ is a vote…
Regardless, this comment confirms Obama’s not a constitutional scholar.
He’s a constitutional defiler.
This is low, even by Democrat and Planned Parenthood standards.
Democrat Senators are blocking a sex-trafficking bill because it doesn’t fund elective abortion. But, for decades, Americans have been against any attempt to federally fund abortion, and Democrats have voted for that position as well.
So, why would Senate Democrats now stop a bill to help sex-trafficking victims?
The Weekly Standard has an article explaining why blocking the bill (as Democrats are doing) doesn’t make sense…until you see Planned Parenthood got in the game.
Planned Parenthood and its supporters donate big money to Democrat politicians.
According to sources, 98% of sex-trafficking victims are girls and women. By their act of pandering for Planned Parenthood cash, Democrats hurt those victims.
Some Democrat Senators may also be trying to muddy Senate waters, to make it appear the Republican Senate can’t govern (ref., Chuck Schumer’s comments).
Again, that makes victims of sex-trafficking (women and girls) hostage to Democrat machinations…and with a pliable media, Democrats think they can get away with it.
You want to see a real ‘War on Women’? This is it.
Sex-trafficking forces (mostly) women and girls into slavery. By this act, Democrats, for political gain, have dyed their historic KKK-peaked hoods and cloaks… pink!
KKK Exalted Cyclops Bob Byrd would be so proud of his new Democrat Klan.
What decent person votes for this type of scum?
Ex-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson got a standing ovation in St. Charles, MO.
Exonerated by a Grand Jury, you can bet (like Netanyahu) Mr. Wilson never got a congratulatory phone call from Barack Obama.
File this under ‘How Low Can They Go?’
“Senate Democrats successfully filibustered a bill to crack down on human trafficking…”
