An opportunity for the GOP to engage upwardly-yearning Hispanics…?

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!

Beware, the double-edged sword…

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.

Is he really that ignorant…or just THAT Liberal?

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…

  • for the status quo…; or
  • against whatever alternatives are offered?

Regardless, this comment confirms Obama’s not a constitutional scholar.

He’s a constitutional defiler.

PROOF…Democrats wage a real War on Women, as pink-robed Klansmen

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?

On Iran, media ignorance brands the wrong guy ‘traitor’

Stupid is as Stupid does.

The media and Obama need a remedial lesson in basic English. By definition, the one who betrays a trust is the TRAITOR…not the one who fulfills that trust.

Obama is negotiating with Iran without the Constitutional ‘advice and consent’ of the Senate, even as they reminded him of that obligation, asking to be included.

Obama’s presidential oath to ‘preserve, protect, and defend’ the U.S. Constitution is being broken – he betrays trust of Americans, and is being false to his sworn duty.

Senator Cotton (R) posted an open website letter to Iran, reminding its leaders that our Constitution gives the Senate ‘advice and consent’ powers.

Obama and his media minions branded Senator Cotton as a ‘Traitor’…

…but Merriam-Webster disagrees:

traitor (n)one who betrays another’s trust or is false to an obligation or duty

patriot (n): a person who loves and strongly supports or fights for their country

By fighting for our Constitution, Senator Cotton is the patriot.

By betraying our Constitution and his sworn duty, Obama is the ‘traitor’.

Some say it was a mistake to post the letter addressing Iran, that it should have been posted to Obama – but it would have been played down as partisan politics.

Posting to Iran rubbed the Left (and its fawning media) raw, gaining notoriety.

Predictably, Left-wing media and Democrats began frothing at the mouth, and in their haste to spew bile, ignored basic English required even in ivy-league schools.

Well played, Senator Cotton.

Legal gymnastics without a safety net

As the Obamacare babble continues, the Supreme Court now must decide if “…established by the state…” does or doesn’t mean established by the state.

Obama’s lawyers argue that ‘state’ was just euphemistic jargon for ‘federal’, in that they were interchangeable entities, really, meaning the same thing.

But there are two entities involved in this law’s creation…the federal government, and the individual states. How can a state be a state in some areas of the bill, yet by their logic also mean the federal government in other areas of the same bill?

Easy answer…it can’t – but that doesn’t fit the Obama narrative.

So black is white, up is down, and ‘state’ is ‘federal’.

End of lesson.
