For the definitive answer, you can’t do better than this.

What does make America great – and, does anyone care anymore?

Other than, of course, BlueCollar…and Rush Limbaugh…

In his No-Billionaire-Left-Behind policy, Obama will push his climate-change agenda at the United Nations in New York on Monday, while Tom Steyer waves pom-poms.

Green-energy scammers like Steyer reap big taxpayer-funded subsidies; you can bet cartwheeling cheerleader-billionaires will be spinning their hearts out listening.

Meanwhile, as predictions of global warming darken O’s rhetoric, Alaskans freeze. They just had record-breaking snowfall and cold temperatures, but who cares?

When your electricity and energy prices ‘necessarily skyrocket’…you will.

But hey, so long as Steyer-&-Co. are happy banking your tax-dollars…

…and, well c’mon, Obama has to think about his post-presidency years, right?

So stop complaining and pay those higher energy prices…

…it’s all about subsidizing your local green billionaire, didn’t you know?

(And, of course, helping Obama invest in his future after politics.)

(UPDATED 09/28/15) Yes, ‘scammers’. Don’t say we didn’t tell you…

Today’s headline:

“ALMOST ALL US TEMPERATURE DATA USED IN GLOBAL WARMING MODELS IS ESTIMATED OR ALTERED“

We’ve said it before – our Constitution doesn’t say the House of Representatives must choose a Speaker from its membership…it can be anyone (Art. I, sect. 2).

(An IBD article discussing Boehner’s replacement points out the same thing.)

House Republicans should choose a proven leader from outside Congress, who can get things done. It takes vote-pandering to constituents out of the equation.

Whoever they choose should be committed to sending legislation to Obama, veto threats be damned. Force him and his Democrat cohort to make a stand.

We don’t need any more spineless ‘reach-across-the-aisle’ Speakers.

Hillary has none of the practiced prevarications her husband is so good at.

You’d think Democrats would at least prefer a polished liar representing them.

Alaska reports a record early snowfall and record cold temperatures Friday.

Obviously, the Pope’s message on global warming is being totally ignored.

But, no worries, by the time Obama’s team ‘tweaks’ the data, all will be fine.

(Or, billionaire Tom Steyer can send a couple of bucks to the Vatican.)

Either way – nothing to doubt here…move along.

Reader Franklin M. takes exception to our raking Dr. Krauthammer over the coals, for his unfounded and completely unnecessary verbal assault of Ben Carson.

His point being that what Carson said put Republicans in the Democrat crosshairs.

But no amount of mealy-mouthing by GOP candidates will change that dynamic. A kinder, gentler Republican Party will do nothing to nullify Democrat aggression.

This has been demonstrated time and again. What’s left, then, is open honesty.

Islam demands their religion must transcend government…unconstitutional.

Islam relegates women and children to subservient status…unconstitutional.

Islam forbids freedom of speech against its religion…unconstitutional.

And the list goes on.

The foundation our Constitution rests on places a government of the people first. A religion that places itself ABOVE government does not honor the Rule of Law. 

‘Freedom of religion’ does not mean freedom to destroy the Constitution. It means those religions…that will work within the Constitution…are protected.

Ben Carson spoke the truth. Islam is inconsistent with our principles and values, and violates fundamental concepts of our U.S. Constitution.

But Democrats don’t want the truth – they just want to target Republicans…

…REGARDLESS of truth.

As the Left savages Dr. Ben Carson using an out-of-context remark about religion in the White House, Republicans unhelpfully pile on, to their everlasting shame.

Sunday, with less than two minutes left in a Meet-the-Press interview, Dr. Carson was asked (7:55 mark) “should a president’s faith matter to voters?”

Dr. Carson responded by saying “it depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America…and consistent with the Constitution, no problem.”

Then asked if he believed Islam was consistent with our Constitution, Dr. Carson replied no, and he wouldn’t advocate for a Muslim to be in charge of the Nation.

Clearly, he meant if it was ‘inconsistent with American values and principles.’

Cue the (predictable) feigned outrage from the Left.

But, sadly, Republican disavowals followed close behind, completely ignoring the context Dr. Carson had stated from the first seconds in that closing question…

…that views be consistent with American principles and our Constitution.

He even added that a man’s actions and history be considered as well when voting them into office, to ensure our values and principles applied, which, of course…

…doesn’t count, to those maniacally slavering to take down a Republican.

Even the inestimable Dr. Krauthammer joins in, ignoring Ben Carson’s opening (and) qualifying remark that faith should be consistent with American values.

The ‘Hammer’ instead lectures us on how our Constitution fits into our daily lives, in the meantime (evidently) under the impression even if it means electing someone…

…whose faith will destroy it.

BCP has long been a Charles Krauthammer fan, but his article begs the question… does he honestly believe that Islam teaches ‘government BEFORE Islam’?

Our Constitution supports freedom of religion…Islam denies such freedom. Are we, then, to believe the Constitution is a suicide pact, willing to crumble before Islam?

The Left will always look for ways to demean and mis-characterize the GOP…

…but, for today, for Dr. Ben Carson?

Assassin, thy name is Krauthammer.

Refuting global warmism isn’t unlawful…but silencing by incarceration is.

Despite the fact climate-change has been demonstrably proven wrong, some in the global-warming hysteria camp are calling for locking away all those who disagree.

What’s next…jailing atheists?

Or maybe we should start with those who demand freedom-of-speech be silenced.

Our national debt is $18.15 trillion.

Since 1945, we’ve shouldered the task of defending Europe, So. Korea and Japan.

Isn’t it time we collected on that?

Listening to the Pope tell us everything that’s wrong with America, it occurred to us that there’s more to foreign aid; our military costs kept the world a safer place too…

…for all those nations clamoring over ‘reparations’.

Obama wasted no time using the Pope’s visit to push his agenda.

Ironically, he noted “…the Lord’s most powerful message is Mercy…” then went on to reference fleeing refugees and illegal immigrants as worthy of that treatment…

…but not the unborn, aborted out of hand as an unwanted affliction.
