Not long ago I was searching for info about Sam Huff, the 50's and 60's NFL player when I found another Sam Huff.
Army Private Sam W. Huff was 18 serving in Baghdad, Iraq when the Humvee she was riding in was hit by an IED. She died of her injuries on 4/17/2007. She is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Like most young people she had a plan for her life. But for her it also included joining the military. Link here:

I get rather tied of hearing people say that "we don't make them like that anymore." Well, that's crap. They are being made today.
This Memorial Day weekend I don't want to think of the FSA, that shitstain in the White House, or the 50% off mattress sales. I will be thinking of those who served and gave everything.
Like Private Sam W. Huff, US Army.

"The answer is simple: Slaughter is a routine, widespread practice among many Moslem families. Many children see how their fathers slaughter sheep when celebrating an important event, and the whole family is present at the sacrificial slaughter during Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, when the slaughter is part of the holiday ritual.
The emotional immunity to the act of slaughter allows a Moslem to utilize it whenever he feels he must employ radical methods to rid himself of someone. The slaughter of sheep during the Festival of Sacrifice is accompanied by the recitation of “In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful”, and the butchering of girls who do not behave properly is conducted as a kind of execution ceremony. The slaughterer feels that he is doing something important and worthy, acting in a way to which he is inured since early childhood.
In western societies, slaughter seems barbaric, while members of Moslem societies view it as proper and commendable when carried out within the proper context. Therefore, slaughtering a Jew, a Christian or anyone seen as an enemy is not considered unusual in traditional Islamic societies. This is what professional jargon calls “a cultural difference.”

All those "shovel ready jobs"...that didn't happen.

And there is the rub. No Republican could survive what Obama has so far, much less what may come. And yet Obama has, and as of current conditions, probably will. And that is also the rub, and a problem, because it indicates we have two castes in America--Progressives, and everyone else. My fear, one I think well founded, is that even if Nixon-level proof becomes available vis a vis these current scandals, nothing will be done, and the rule of law will finally have succumbed to low-information supporters of "social justice".
In a larger sense, these scandals are not isolated. John Edwards liked to talk of two Americas. Well, he was right, there are two Americas. There is the America where people pay for their misdeeds, slips, and mistakes, and there is Progressive America, where they usually do not. Because elites have decided to give a pass to those who they deem are working "for the common good".
I do not believe that absent a clear indication of what will happen if there is not, I do not believe there will ever be equality in justice in the United States, in the sense that conservatives and Democrats/liberals/Progressives will meet the same fate for the same kind of misdeed. I hope you will pardon me if I have a problem with that.
Therefore, since the American Experiment appears to be ready to die, drowned by the low-information voter only wanting to be swamped with largesse from a paternalistic government, I fully support peaceful secession of those who wish to leave the current polity, because I will not be a second-class citizen, scorned by national institutions, just because I will not enlist in the Sainted Progressive cause. And yet that has been the de facto standard in America for about a decade.
I understand some will never come around, but there are others who will, who understand only determined defiance will prevent both secession and death of the American Experiment (you must threaten to destroy the village to save it), and therefore I wait for you to catch up to the reality that unless you forcefully act (or make it clear you will do so), you will become that second-class citizen I talked about, because the only reliable objective standard left anymore in America appears to be "no matter what, Democrats win, everyone else gets on board or loses". Well, Nuts to that.
You must stare them down, and convince them you are quite serious when you say "to the pain" unless standards apply evenly. Get cracking.

Holder Personally Vetted Rosen Search Warrant; Lied About It Under Oath
They fought to keep Rosen from finding out about the warrant because they wanted to keep searching his emails for a long period of time. Years, as it turned out. And it gets worse yet.[The prosecutor, Machen] argued that disclosure of the search warrant would preclude the government from monitoring the account, should such a step become necessary in the investigation. Machen added that “some investigations are continued for many years because, while the evidence is not yet sufficient to bring charges, it is sufficient to have identified criminal subjects and/or criminal activity serious enough to justify continuation of the investigation.” Machen insisted the investigation would be compromised if Rosen was informed of the warrant, and also asked the court to order Google not to notify Rosen that the company had handed over Rosen’s e-mails to the government. Rosen, according to recent reports, did not learn that the government seized his e-mail records until it was reported in the Washington Post last week. ... According to recently unsealed documents in the case, the Obama Justice Department sought an extensive amount of information from Rosen’s e-mail account. In addition to Rosen’s correspondence with Kim, the government wanted to know about Rosen’s contacts with other government officials, including “records or information relating to the Author’s communication with any other source or potential source of the information disclosed in the Article.”Do you see what's going on there? Not only do they want to see which of Obama's people are disloyal in the actual case, they also want to keep secretly reading a private citizen's email for years in order to find other sources of leaks in other matters. In other words: It's nakedly a Traitor Fishing Expedition. Question: What happens if we find out that one of Rosen's sources -- say his other government sources, who are not in possession of any confidential information, but who can offer some negative information about Obama personnel -- failed to be promoted due to his name surfacing in this years-long Loyalty Crusade? At 5:00, Holder says -- under oath-- he stayed out of any decisions to spy on the press. And not just in the AP matter.
In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.

Can any morons recommend a good, ergonomic office chair? I'm having nasty neck and shoulder aches (headaches most every day) and my lousy work chair is not helping. Arm rests are far too wide and back doesn't reach my back without slouching. Also, my desk seems too high. (28 inches; I'm 5'7").

But there's something lacking here. A certain important quote. A question quote. One that is just as applicable in 2013 as it was in 1973.
I'd like to start to hear that question quote revoiced. A lot. In fact, I would like to hear every single Republican on television or radio revoice the question quote in every single media appearance. Consistently and repeatedly.
What is that question quote? It is this:
"WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW, AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?"
Over and over again, please. The Palace Guard Media might be able to get away with not playing one iteration, but it'll get rapidly embarrassing if they have to cut away time after time.
Bonus points if you know who originally authored that question. It was Howard Baker who asked the question, but it wasn't Baker's idea.

When your JOB is to get other people to commit felonies, as a regular ongoing thing, then you're in what we call "organized crime".
Organized crime probes last a while, so the FBI can take out the whole organization.

They can't. Eventually even good liars lose track of their lies and step on their dicks.
It just took longer for these particular liars to do so.

There was a tweet from one of the rags, about three weeks ago, that she's getting a huge advance for writing a book in which she admits to bisexuality.
I'm guessing she did the lesbian thing in college and that is about all she'll admit to.

Right now Brooks is spinning Obama's drone use and excuses while the Leftitst twit still has reservations.
And now Brooks is saying IRS scandal had nothing to do with Obama and Obama probably was never told about it.

I tried to have a 'local' conversation on race with someone I considered an intelligent black man. Within seconds he exploded in a fit of rage. Scratched my head, but life goes on.
Months later I discovered that he thought it was perfectly acceptable to rip off his employer, steal drugs, and rough up the elderly. All caught on camera. But I was the 'racist' keeping him down.

Ace: "The italians have a name for one type of this sort of thinking,
"dietrologia." This is the idea, much beloved by those who like
conspiracy theories, that the idea that the obvious thing cannot be the
truth; the clever man, the wily man, always looks behind the obvious to
find the Real Explanation."
I know that I am one of the people who you think sees conspiracies everywhere and that by the wording of your above statement it seems that you look down on those who "like conspiracy theories" dismissing them as having inferior thought processes.
However I don't hold to the idea that the obvious thing cannot be the
truth; the clever man, the wily man, always looks behind the obvious to
find the Real Explanation.
Evidently there are many things which are obvious to me that are not obvious to most people. For example how to design and simulate a computer in my head was something that was obvious to me the first time I looked at the subject; my first computer design set the world speed record. To simulate a computer design in ones head a person has to be able to see how an enormous number of things are related and function together.
This means when I look at an operation like Fast and Furious I see the functioning logistical and bureaucratic structure that has to be in place for the operation to occur. That structure can't be constructed by the low level field operatives tasked with implementing it - any more than a few troops could have got together and pulled off the Normandy invasion in World War II. It was obvious to me that Fast and Furious was an authorized government operation that had to come from the highest levels of the government.
Sometimes I forget that other people don't see the same obvious things I do. I'll try to explain my observations better in the future.

Finally: Britain Cracks Down On Those Exploiting the System to Encourage Hate
Oh, you thought I meant the jihadi preachers on the dole?
No, I meant people making angry comments about the Woolrich butchers.Glad they're finally getting to the Root Causes of the problem.
A 22-year-old man has been charged on suspicion of making malicious comments on Facebook following the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby. Benjamin Flatters, from Lincoln, was arrested last night after complaints were made to Lincolnshire Police about comments made on Facebook, which were allegedly of a racist or anti-religious nature. He was charged with an offence of malicious communications this afternoon in relation to the comments, a Lincolnshire Police spokesman said. ... A second man was visited by officers and warned about his activity on social media, the spokesman added.

President Barack Obama delivered the commencement speech at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., on Friday, blaming the “misconduct of a few” for erosion of the public’s “trust in the government.”
“Everyday our civil servants do their jobs with professionalism, protecting our national security and delivering the services that so many Americans expect, but as we’ve seen again in recent days, it only takes the misconduct of a few to further erode to the people’s trust in their government, and that’s unacceptable to me, and I know that’s unacceptable to you,” Obama told graduates.

Quell any campus speech that any student might find even mildly offensive, or lose eligibility for federal funding and student loans (basically a university death penalty given how deeply attached to the federal teat the typical university has become).

What was the Norquist line?
"They're natural conservatives. They have strong family values. They're a perfect fit for the Republican party. Islam is a religion of peace."
And Dubya bought into all that total nonsense. Hook, line and sinker.
Now Norquist is pushing an amazingly similar line of bullshit about Hispanics as he lobbies frantically to pass Amnesty II: The Revenge.
Bushes delenda est. Norquist delenda est. Time to start figuring out that the friends of our enemies are not our friends. Time to start fighting to get control of our own country back before we become the UK in all but name.

It's the mutual totalitarian masturbatory fantasy overriding their mutual distaste.

everyone in it, to force acceptance of every detail of their ideology
even on those who reject it.

During World War II, Rees Howells led the students and staff at the Bible College of Wales in intercession to see the breaking of the dictators who hindered the work of world evangelism. They laid down their lives in intercession, as the young men who were on the front lines of battle. Rees Howells challenged them to be living martyrs.
They prayed through the situations in Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, D-Day, the involvement of Russia in the war and for many other situations, including, for the establishment of the State of Israel.

Apparently a local chichi place, as no English spoken. But, come on. I can translate a menu in the French version. Perhaps snotty waiter dude did not know we were given an English version, or that many Americans can read. I joked that we should start acting like the Clampetts or Gomer Pyle in Paris. It is not my first rodeo here, y'all, but this was a first, to have a waiter patiently explain "broccoli" to the table.

I take no glee in watching the seedbed of our culture die, no matter how angry my family line once was with her, or how much we needed to get space from her overreach.
That England is dying does not speak well for our longevity.

England is like an abusive Mother...that we had to leave for our own survival.
Now, she has married an Enemy, and is granting it deference over her own native sons and daughters.
We gave England many of the lives of our own,to save her in two World Wars.
She is going to have to save herself, from this domestic problem of her own making.

Secret Documents Reveal Winnie the Pooh Author A. A. Milne Was an Officer of MI7b During the Great War
That headline there?
That's a big fat lie. Well, it's the truth, but it's misleading. I learned this from the media. MI7b was a propaganda-writing outfit, not a frontline espionage group. This was actually revealed last month but it didn't attract much notice.Secret documents saved from a skip have shed new light on Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne's clandestine role as a propagandist in the First World War. All evidence of MI7b, the secret military intelligence unit where AA Milne was based, was feared lost - because government officials ordered the destruction of its entire archive. But 150 classified documents were taken home by Captain James Lloyd and remained a secret for nearly 100 years, including a never-before seen satirical poem by Milne. It imagines what famous great writers like Tennyson and Shakespeare would have written had they been propaganda writers in MI7b. Milne became a pacifist after the war and the verse shows his struggle with the work he undertook.It should be noted that although he became a pacifist, he modified his pacifism a bit to support, sorta, the war against the Nazis. Incidentally, he had a great big feud with legendary Wooster & Jeeves writer P.G. Wodehouse. Part of this was due to Wodehouse's behavior during WWII -- he had not gotten out of France when the Nazis invaded and he and his wife were captured as... Prisoners of War? Civilians? Anyway, the Nazis offered him a deal: Do 4 or 5 radio programs for us, and we'll let you and your wife depart back for England. Wodehouse took the deal. His programs were not pro-Nazi -- they actually poked fun at them -- but still, doing cute comedic radio programs for the Nazis just to save one's own skin did not go down well with Milne, who, despite his pacifism, was still pretty anti-Nazi.

Werner Klemperer - Jew and son of famed Berlin Philharmonic conductor, Otto Klemperer. Fled Germany in the 30's.
John Banner - Austrian Jew, fled or was in hiding during the war.
Robert Clary - Auschwitz survivor.
Leon Askin - "General Burkhalter" Austrian Jew, also fled during the 30's.
Major Hochstetter - Bob Cane (not to be confused with Bob Crane), not sure but he played Judy Garland's husband in "Judgement at Nuremberg."
I don't think Ivan Dixon was Jewish...

They did this stuff in almost every episode. All historic figure, it turns out, were "abnormal" humans with special abilities.

Banner was born to Jewish parents in Vienna, Austria-Hungary. He studied for a law degree, but decided instead to become an actor. In 1938, when he was performing with an acting troupe in Switzerland, Adolf Hitler annexed Austria to Nazi Germany. Banner emigrated to the United States, where he rapidly picked up English. He began acting in Hollywood films, ironically usually playing a German soldier.[1

Interesting movie he was in with James Garner, about a US intelligence officer who is tricked into believing he is recuperating from amnesia after the war, so the Germans can get him to divulge the Overlord plans. He finally realizes it's a trick when he notices he has the same paper cut he had years earlier.

2. Wodehouse actually made his talks all about how internment camps weren't fun and they weren't really getting what they were supposed to, and basically that Nazis were crud.
3. Wodehouse's portrayal of Roderick Spode's "Blackshorts" was a pretty savage satire of UK fascists. JFK apparently would have been buddies with Spode and signed up for the Blackshorts, which is a sad reflection.

'So he could get rescued first'? Are you high? Did you actually read the account? Kennedy was the strongest swimmer, as well as one of the few uninjured. It was a 4 km swim in shark-infested waters from Plum Pudding Island, a barren flyspeck without food and water, where his crew was, to Olasana Island, where he and his men were later rescued by native scouts sent to look for survivors by an Australian coastwatcher. All of them would've died on that rock had he not made that swim.
JFK is fair game politically, and his presidency rightfully deserves serious historical reassessment, but the man was no coward. Get it right.

Sadly for a lot of people hating someone politically requires denying that they were ever admirable in any way and casting their every action in the most negative possible light.
Look humans are complex - and they can be exemplary in one area of their life and shit in another. This shouldn't be that hard to understand and accept but for some reason it is.

If one squints real hard one might see that japanese routinely rounded up anglo civilians in territory they held in wwii. and if you quint even harder you might find that a majority of the japanese-americans interred in wwii were actually ...gasp... japanese. there was even a camp with about 10,000 that refused to renounce loyalty to japan.

Fantastic Essay: Rote Expressions of Alleged "Outrage" Are Not Enough To Combat Terrorism
Great link from Hot Air.
This is so full of head-nodding quotations that it's a a lie to excerpt any one part. However:Too many still seek refuge in ignorance and denial that was so memorably displayed by U.S. officials after the Fort Hood shooting in 2009. A man who was a member of the American armed forces, Maj. Nidal Hasan, gunned down his colleagues while shouting "Allahu akbar." On that occasion the American government, like the French government before it and the British government this week, decided to focus on everything about the attack other than what really mattered: the motive. Fort Hood was put down to a case of workplace violence. ... Most of the extremists who have repeatedly expressed their hatred of British soldiers are themselves supported by the British state. A prominent hate-preacher—Anjem Choudary, a leader of the disbanded al Muhajiroun—was even caught on video earlier this year extolling Britain's "jihad-seekers' allowance." As he explained to his followers, "The normal situation, really, is to take money from the kafir"—a slur for non-Muslims. "Allahu akbar. We take the money." After the video showed up online, a BBC reporter asked Mr. Choudary to clarify how much he's taking—the press has long reported a sum of £25,000 ($37,770) per year. "It's irrelevant," Mr. Choudary replied. This would not be the first time a country has paid both sides in a conflict. But if the reported figure is anywhere near accurate, it would surely be the first time in human history that a society has paid its opponents better than it pays its own. A British soldier can expect to start in the army on a salary of around £16,000 ($24,172). The events in south London must cause a re-evaluation by British society of the insanity we have been permitting. The question is not how sad we feel. The only question should be what we do about it.

They are HAVING their way right now with the most left wing liberal president in the history of the world and there's still terrorism. This left wing extremist president is still killing them, to his credit, as he should be.
Terrorism will forever exist, especially while everyone turns a blind eye to the farcical religion known as islam.

The environment of political correctness that kept everyone afraid to identify Maj. Hassan as a dangerous lunatic was created under GW Bush's administration.

I was watching a show at my in-laws house a few months back, IIRC it was My Big Redneck Vacation, and they ended up being brought to a city completely decorated in minarets and with women in burkhas.
My first thought was "They brought them to Dearborn?!?", which ended up being correct.

It is actually interesting that the line between radical left-winger and radical islamist is beginning to be blurred quite a bit in Europe. A lot of the islamist foot-soldiers running around in London or Stockholm or whatever will recite bumper-sticker slogans that are clearly islamist, and then recite another one that is clearly leftist.
Look at some of the pro-riot comments below an article about the riots in Stockholm. The ideas expressed are different than you might expect if you are looking for pure-islamist nonsense that you might hear in a terrorist video out of Afganistan, for example.
It is interesting to see these two agitation-ideologies merging, because the only thing they have in common is that they are meant to agitate useful idiots.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

The London mayor, arriving for a meeting of the government’s emergency Cobra committee chaired by prime minister David Cameron, said it was wrong to blame either Muslims or the presence of UK troops in Afghanistan for the attack.
One of the two suspects in yesterday’s killing made a series of political statements in the wake of the attack, while counterterrorism officers are waiting to question both men in hospital after they were shot by armed police.
‘One obvious point, it is completely wrong to blame this killing on Islam but also wrong to draw a link between this murder and British foreign policy,’ Mr Johnson said on Thursday morning.
‘The fault lies with the warped mind-set of those who did it and for the sake of the victim and his family the killers need to be brought to justice.’...

He was speaking after chairing a meeting of Whitehall’s Cobra emergency committee of ministers, police chiefs and senior figures in the security services.
Standing outside Downing Street, the Prime Minister said: “This was not just an attack on Britain – and on our British way of life. It was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country.
“There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act. We will defeat violent extremism by standing together by backing our police and security services and above all by challenging the poisonous narrative of extremism on which this violence feeds.”
Warning that the aim of terrorists was to divide, he praised Britons’ natural resilience and pointed to the example of the cub scout pack leader Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, who confronted one of the men at the murder site.
Mr Cameron said: “When told by the attacker that he wanted to start a war in London, she replied: ‘You’re going to lose. It’s only you versus many.’ She spoke for us all.”...
Today’s hour-long Cobra meeting focused on the importance of community cohesion in the wake of the killing. A source said: “The strength and unity of response from Muslim community leaders was recognised and commended by Ministers and others around the table.”...

Here's my question on that- since he's still technically just "accused" of the crime (not that there's a whole lot of question as to the verdict), I get that they can't just give him his dishonorable and stop paying him.
But why not "pay" him in IOUs? It's not like he's actually using that money- not while he's getting free room and board awaiting trial.
Then, at least, when he finally gets convicted, we won't have been paying a convicted mass murderer for several years.

If you can't recognize the problem, you cannot find the solution. Whenever there is an incident of this sort we are told how wonderful Moslems are. The problem is not jihad or al qaeda or self-radicalization, the problem is Islam itself
There has been no change in Islamic philosophy or strategy since the 600s. It remains the bloodthirsty sect it has always been. It is more than a religion; it is a political belief with no separation between politics and religion. Subsequently, the only "moderate" Muslim by necissity must be an apostate otherwise he is not a "true" Muslim.
To not recognize this fact is to lose the war. Military tirals, civilian trials, drones,and Guantanamo will not solve the problem. Only a wholesale destruction of this murderous cult will succeed.

They have quite a lot in common, starting with the exaltation of will over reason and power over freedom.
They have a similar division of the world into a Dar-al-Islam and Dar-al-Harb. Remember the Brezhnev Doctrine? It stated that wherever Marxism had taken hold, it must stay eternally, but where it hadn't there must be struggle. The Left must NEVER cede ground, literally or figuratively. But where the Left has not yet taken control, there must be constant conflict until submission.
There are many, many other similarities but in the end the big one is that they have a common enemy:

The rot in the UK, as most know, is deep and of long standing. And the insane coddling of fanatical racist/religious extremism is just the newest feature. Got to know half a dozen British officers while wasting my time overseas "serving the country". To a man, they were getting out early, after having intended full military careers. Just a more advanced version of what we've got here. No country left to defend (defined as something worth defending, with a populace with sense and honor, responsible/non-clueless leadership, and even, in the US case, the thing they swear to defend: an actual constitutional order).

‘Liking’ Hate
Group calls on Facebook to suspend account of Iranian Supreme Leader
Facebook has not responded to calls for it to remove the official account of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who critics say uses the social networking site to disseminate radical propaganda.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a grassroots advocacy group, sent a letter to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on Monday urging him to immediately delete Khamenei’s account on the basis that it is used to promote the regime’s anti-American ideology.
“[Y]ou should be aware that Ayatollah Khamenei’s official Facebook page appears to violate Facebook’s Terms of Use, specifically regarding its policy on safety,” UANI CEO Mark Wallace wrote in the letter to Zuckerberg wrote.
“For example, Facebook’s Terms of Use state that users ‘will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.’”

Homicidal manics are not victims. Their victims are victims (even if they had it coming, like that incompetent Imperial Officer, that whiny bitch Luke, or the stuck up, monotone skank Padme).

But GWB was the first to make anti-American muslims a protected species. I could be wrong about this but I think he set the example by racing to a mosque, to declare islam "a religion of peace", every time jihadis committed some mass slaughter. I don't even recall Clinton being that absurd--though, in fairness, Clinton tried to just pretend nothing out of the ordinary was going on.

The London mayor, arriving for a meeting of the government’s emergency Cobra committee chaired by prime minister David Cameron, said it was wrong to blame either Muslims or the presence of UK troops in Afghanistan for the attack.
One of the two suspects in yesterday’s killing made a series of political statements in the wake of the attack, while counterterrorism officers are waiting to question both men in hospital after they were shot by armed police.
‘One obvious point, it is completely wrong to blame this killing on Islam but also wrong to draw a link between this murder and British foreign policy,’ Mr Johnson said on Thursday morning.
‘The fault lies with the warped mind-set of those who did it and for the sake of the victim and his family the killers need to be brought to justice.’...

I don't know the answer to that. There was *some* good mixed in with all the bad.
If you think about, though, the elephant in the room is the standing peacetime army. On the one hand, the country (heck, maybe the world) cannot enjoy this level of security without it. On the other hand, it is too big and too important not to get corrupted like this.
It sucks that the US is a hyperpower because of all of the limitations that go with it, but it would suck worse to not be a hyperpower while another country is.

A million of us have to dedicate our lives to constant infiltration and pressure to swing the institutions that have been corrupted to a truer course (at least honesty), without losing momentum or falling victim to the temptation of power.
At the same time we'd have to avoid the notice and attention of the people who have spent the last 80-100 years doing that in the service of far-left ideology, who currently largely control the press, academia and the bureaucracy.

I just know, that while I was in, it seemed more initiatives were introduced year after year. Of course they were probably all doing it as was the Fed civilian side of the house. When I first started with the FAA they already, in 88 had a "workforce 2000" plan that they were promoting to actively seek out and hire as many minorities as they could with a 50% goal. They never made it, but they sure were sure they could do it, if only...

Problem is that we NEEDED to clean house... we needed to call Islam what it was THEN... or it would never happen...
The US military was a hyper power at the time... no encumbered by any wars... and at full strength... and the world EXPECTED us to loose our Temper...
When Bush played that down... but tried to invade TWO countries and use Multi Culture BS to put the Governments in place??? ie... trying to create Islamic Democracies instead of putting in a US style Bill of Rights???
Iraq is blowing up again... there have been an average of 200 deaths a month to bombs... this month they are over 400...
Afganistan will be a lose... because of the Government we put in place...
Bush.... did both... he treated symptoms, but not the problem...

It was not often made explicit, but early on the point was made that you can fight a war on one front, you might be able to fight a war on two fronts, but nobody can fight a war on 12 fronts.
Keep the other regional powers out of the fight.
As to whether the rest of the fight was done properly, that's another matter. I don't think declaring war against all Muslim countries simultaneously ends well, especially in the context of 2002-2003.
Again, as to whether they had already covertly declared war against us...

I'll tell you what can be done. Start getting involved in your kids school and in your kids activities. Throw the BS flag at every opportunity and publicly challenge the school administration with factual counter evidence. Ditto with yourcongressman and senator. They are counting onyou to be too lazy or preoccupied to actually show up at their school board meetings and campaign appearances and meetings. Embarrass them, challenge them openly; they're not prepared for educated, factual, public debate.Do not let them rest; be polite and civil and factual but be relentless.
GET FUCKING INVOLVED at the local and the state level.
Just rememeber, IF the time ever comes to reconcile this in some manner other than through civic participation and peaceful means, you will need a clear concious to do what will be required.
Pray it never comes to that, but be prepared to what it takes to defend yourself and your family.

True. But when you're preparing for the end game, you're not preparing to win, just survive. You've given up on a political victory, so you've left yourself with nothing but....violence, or whateverthat point looks like.

Also, as a resident, I am NOT looking forward to June 14. This is the start of the Arab festival in Dearborn. Of course, there is a certain pastor who has stated he will visit. He is well within his rights as a U.S. citizen to free speech. He has been here before. I do not have a good feeling about this visit though. The Dearborn police have shown they will not protect Christians. I expect more of the same.

This whole thing reveals the insidious nature of Islam/radical Islam/whatever. The two guys are Nigerian-British, Yoruba to be specific (a southern ethnic group). I'm part Yoruba FWIW. Their names: Michael Adebolajo and Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale. As the reports state, they are Muslim converts. No Muslims name their kids Michael.
The sad thing is that Yoruba Muslims in Nigeria are the definition of the often elusive moderate muslims. They often marry Christians and then allow their kids to choose which religion they want to follow. I have a few Yoruba friends with one Christian parent and one Muslim parent. When Yoruba Muslims convert to Christianity, there is no risk to their lives.
My late and very dearly beloved dad once pointed out the contrast between southern Muslims (almost all Yoruba) and the ones in the North. There can be Yoruba Muslims and Christians living in the same family in peace. You can't say the same thing in the North North, which is completely pervaded by Islam.
The pantybomber was from the North, so while it was shocking that a Nigerian would actually be willing to give up his life while committing evil mischief, he was from the North, after all.
My point is that you now have these 2 guys of Yoruba heritage beheading people in plain view on the streets of London and commanding people to videotape it. (Which speaks to the sad state England is in, but that's another issue.) This was heretofore unimaginable, even for Yoruba people who grew up Muslim, much less for converts. Radical Islam is a scourge and political leaders who are hiding their hides in the sand being in denial are going to get a lot of people killed.

The metro cops and the special armed response units have the guns. Of them, I've heard some pretty interesting things.
Anyone remember where the police trailed a suspected terrorist into a subway station, then got made, and one of the officers fired only one shot, hitting the suspect square in the head? That's skill.
It also turned out the suspect was not a terrorist, but a Brazilian who noticed the undercover police following him, got scared, and ran into the subway thinking he was about to be mugged. It was a horrible case of mistaken identity.

The British actor Richard Ayoade (Moss from The IT Crowd) has a Nigerian father (not sure if he's Muslim, though) and a Norwegian mother. I'm somewhat amused by that coupling as Nigerians tend to be quite dark and Norwegians, well, are usually extremely fair. Quite a contrast.

It's hard to tell from the video and inferior sound....... were the two killers chatting up the ladies or were the ladies chatting up the two killers?
Twenty plus people standing around after a soldier is violently killed by these two Islamists wacko birds...... waiting for someone to do something.
Cops show up fifteen minutes after the fact and shoot the two wacko birds and then the bystanders scream and shout. Something finally got a rise out of the brain dead bystanders who thought they were watching an episode of law and order on the telly.... Were they upset with the cops for shooting the two murderers?

Ayoade is a Yoruba name. I'm not sure what the Christian/Muslim breakdown is for Yorubas. I would guess maybe 60/40 or 70/30?
I had quite a few mixed schoolmates growing up, usually Nigerian men and foreign women. (We call them half-castes, and it's not a derogatory term.) It struck me once how interesting the countries the wives were from. Right off the top of my head, I can remember Czech, Latvian, Philipino. Not many fellow English-speakers.

Kind of. My point was to show how converting to Islam turned these people into savage animals, whereas if they were Yoruba Muslims living in Nigeria, they would never do such a thing. But I get your point about British Muslims.
I read an article once, maybe on NRO, that said how all the presidents of Islamic Societies in different British Universities had eventually become terrorists.
That country is in big trouble, and we will be too if our fine young president gets his way.

Islam is having a war in several countries that the other side isn't showing up to, countries like France and England and Sweden and the U.S. Instead of acknowledging the overarching theme of the riots and the car burnings and the murders and assaults of gays and the attempts at terrorism in a wide variety of venues, as well as the seemingly "random" workplace violence etc. the articles consistently label these sorts of things with euphemisms that completely wash out all context.
Worse some of the very same people who are the targets of the attacks are vehemently defending "moderate" Islam and urging people not to rush to judgment.

That's a fair analogy, Romeo...as far as the 'agitation' goes.
The agitators want to stir up sentiments and cause turmoil, so they can either be victorious or play the victim.
Either way, it helps them force their views on others.
Butthe difference is, the Gays don't go around saying "Death to the Infidels! Death to the Nonbelievers!"
And they don't go around murdering people.

The elite political and chattering classes of the UK certainly do seem to be getting frightened about the reaction of ordinary British citizens. The understandable reaction to what the elite political and chattering classes have done to that country with mass immigration by nonassimilating religious fanatics.
So the political and media bosses are trying to "kettle" the growing intensity of ordinary British public anger by such devices as silencing comments. I do not think this will work. I think it will intensify the matter further.

Yeah I am pretty livid at all the "GOP is at fault for the bridge collapse" people. For once this fits the very meaning of "accident" everything was done right, they got the permits for the wide load, they had a pilot car with a height stick, etc. Yet the truck was slightly too tall and the bridge supports curved in at just the wrong place.
And the driver was from Canada, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't vote GOP in this country.

I know you mean well, but please don't phrase it that way. "Execution-style murder"; that's acceptable, but simply using "executed" as a stand-alone implies that it was somehow a lawful killing. This feeds into not one, but two memes of the progressives, first being that designated victim groups have the right to kill members of their oppressor class, and second, that lawful executions of evil-doers as ordered by a lawful court, are tantamount to murder.

And if the point of a self-defense weapon was to *kill* your assailant, that might be a problem (though: I suggest it wouldn't be as big of one as you suggest). But the point of self-defense weapon is to stop your attacker- and a 9mm works just fine for that.

To each their own.
I chose a 9MM over a .40 so that I could better hit what I was aiming at, as I found the .40 had a greater tendency to jump on me due to the recoil.
One bullet won't necessarily take them out, but I have enough clips around for the person getting shot to use their dick as a pencil.

He gave the reason why this tactic doesn't work well for us. It's easy to blitz constantly when you've got the microphone, when you know that every issue will be framed sympathetically, when every piece of staged nonsense will be presented as serious and important.
If you don't have a microphone, if every peep you make is demonized as hatefulness, racism, greed, or (at best) partisan obstructionism, it just doesn't work as well.
Maybe you have to do it anyway. I don't know. But you can't pretend the great media problem doesn't exist.

Well the assailant was trying to climb into her attic where she was hiding with her kids. She emptied her gun into the guys head and he still was able to run down stairs, out of the house and they found him several blocks away.
If it were not for the fact that he had to go to so much trouble he easily had enough fight left to beat her until he died.

.40 SW has a flat end. So when it enters the target a lot of its energy is expended by crushing through the first few inches and as it expands, creates a large cavity about the size of an average adults fist.
That's why a 9mm is like the point of a nail and the .40 is like the head. Try jabbing a nail through your arm using the head of a nail and then try it using the point.

The UK appears to be solidly behind the US...or how they are to visitors from the colonies. Same as Scotland. Belgium? Not so much with the commuters on a train...talking in Flemish about us Americans on train with ONE suitcase being past limits...a crowded train, me separated from others, locals not meeting my eye and talking over my wee head (or so they thought...I got 50% or more of what they said and how they acted towards tourists). Granted, this "could" have been a commuter train from NYC, with tired workers, but, I hope, Americans would be more friendly. Maybe not. Maybe because I am Southern and would talk to a rock and offer my seat to that rock.
Am in Paris. Bah. Compared to a decade ago they do not want you even attempting your patois French with them. They do not have time for you stupid Americans. I will never come back here, and I have two more days. The damage has been done, and, by the way, The Won has not brought his peace to Europe. If anything, it is worse than I have seen it under any president...they are jealous and they hate us. It is that simple.
I am homesick for USA if you cannot tell. I have also been physically ill (sinus gomboo possibly SARS) and am improving, but I want my blankie and my bed and my moron's and 'ettes when the chips are down. And I think they are fixin' to get down...I just hope it waits a few more days.

Hey, You Know Who Really Liked Obama's Speech Yesterday...? MSNBC, That's Who
"He used his position as a classroom."
Obama gave an alleged foreign policy speech which was, in sum, patterned after Casey Kasem's sign-off "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reachin' for the stars." MSNBC was absolutely thrilled by it. They also loved Medea Benjamin's interruption of the speech to attack it from the Code Pink left. But even more than loving Medea Benjamin's interruption, they loved Obama's polite exchange with her. It was just a supremely awesome day at MSNBC.Comments

Holy shit, UK Mirror just released footage of the two Woolwich jihadis getting their booms lowered.
Mr.
"Jazz Hands" is the first to go down as he charges the police car. The
female PC is the driver and was unable to draw her weapon and fire on
him. Her partner with the MP5 is the guy who drops him with a burst, and
he goes flying. The other jihadi looks like he engages in a short-lived
firefight before he too is dropped.

Sorry for the dismissive sneer, but the assumption seems to be that if the GOP had only made a big media blitz of accusations, *without having, at the time, outside evidence to support their claims,* of course the media would have then taken up the cause and all this would have been uncovered.
Does that strike you as remotely likely?

I also think that this idea -- "Always Be On Offense," always be going for the bomb, the blitz, the Game Changing Gambit -- is thoroughly rubbished by looking at the milleu from which the metaphor arises, that is, sports.
Any team that "Always Blitzes" or "Always Goes for the Touchdown" or "Never Plays Defense" is going to be a team that loses 85% of its games.
There is a reason these slogans are not actually taken seriously in the milleu from which they derive. They're disastrous ideas.
Blitzing on every down turns a team into an extremely predictable thing which is easily countered and exploited.
And yet many online Strategists have no qualms about endlessly regurgitating the same basic advice.

The republicans problem is that they punt on 3rd down, at least the leadership. And while the Dems are holding and committing personal fouls we're debating whether we should hold and commit personal fouls, but our biggest problem may be that the media are the refs and they've bet heavily on our opponent.

sure they're rattled.
But as for "not bringing this up because they're in cahoots with the Dems:"
Absurd. We had a passel of evidence about Benghazi and all the media did was *embarrass Mitt Romney for LYING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.*
The only reason the media has taken an interest in this is that a "neutral" (actually liberal) source, the IG, said it was true in a report.
Absent that -- if it's just our word, our accusations -- what do you think happens?
You think they actually look into it?
No, they don't. They laugh at us, as usual.
It is absurd to ignore this when one is offering Political Advice, or pretending to.
This is what I mean about "Ignoring the Defense, which is Strong." The Left has an extremely tough defense -- it's called "The Media."
One cannot draw up ones plays and plans without anticipating what this Defense will do in reaction to our Offensive plays.

They see in us the possibility- even the promise- of their replacement.
Except that in this story, John and Paul are aided and abetted by Green Peace sabotaging the equipment.
The Grassroots have three enemies (to use TFG's word), and we have to combat them all simultaneously, it seems. There are the Democrat politicians, who will sic the arms of government on us. There is the Democrat-Media complex which seeks to slander and delegitamize us. And finally there are the "old guard" Republicans who either refuse to see the danger to the country which the Democrats represent, or who are okay with that danger as long as they get to keep their own privileges.
I don't know that Republicans talking up the IRS Scandal earlier would have done anything. It probably wouldn't. But it might have shown us that at least one of our enemies was deciding to call a cease-fire.

More. The left owns the government. Not the elected group that comes and goes (although not often enough) but the permanent bureaucracy.
Virtually every single organization in the federal government is infected from top to bottom with liberals and people who fiercely believe that the only good government is more government. And they fight back.
The deck is stacked against us from top to bottom. I think a lot of Republicans who appear to go squishy when they get to DC don't do it so much for the cocktail circuit as much as they come to realize that barring a game changing event like the ones we are involved with now they are tilting at windmills trying to fight that bureaucracy.

But the point is is that instead of coasting, resting on resume, that was the time to push shit that never gets played.
Again, Romney should have told that chin pinching old liberal cooter that her made up numbers about bitches making less than men were bullshit, not agree with the premise.

Agreed. It seems that there are a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on in DC and I like it... re Cruz and Paul shaking up the Senate GOP a tad.. outsized for their time in office . I fear though they'll be overwhelmed or coerced somehow to do the bidding of the powerful.
It is too easy to believe they're all in on it. I wish I had a better feeling about how deep they'll dig and how much can get addressed before the next election. ie, Voter ID/fraud MUST be addressed immediately and the IRS should given a 30 day window to resolve the outstanding cases and all requests with those intrusive and outlandish questionnaires should be withdrawn poste haste

get to DC don't do it so much for the cocktail circuit as much as they
come to realize that barring a game changing event like the ones we are
involved with now they are tilting at windmills trying to fight that
bureaucracy.

Tebow's blackballed because he's considered a backup quarterback who would bring a media shitstorm with him wherever he goes, as fans would start second-guessing the starting QB after a while if he falters, just short of him backing up an unquestioned great like Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc.

When trying to decide what tactic the GOP or conservatives must take in order to advance their political causes, first you must do one thing: realize that what works for the left does not necessarily work for the right.
Conservatives and liberals are not mirror opposites, where they are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but are otherwise equal. They think and act in completely different ways. The media treats them completely differently. There are many reasons why the battle between the left and the right is not a zero-sum game.
So I wish people would stop with the erroneous view that "the left does X, therefore we should do it because it works for them!!!" This is not true.

- I don't think he's arguing that if only the GOP went on an offensive.. etc...
- He's arguing that the GOP did not vigorously pursue, did not look into it, did not press the issue internally because they also dislike the TEA Party groups.
- It also remains factual that there was a disincentive to do so, due to the degree which reports were delayed and left 'inconclusive', thus making anyone who pushed forth the claims (which they knew were most likely true) look like a 'truther'.
- The fact that Bush appointees have had some crossover 'action' in this indicates truth to his statement that the establishment, as you have often said yourself, is often more in line with each other than they are with their base, at least on the conservative side.
- The GOP, being a body of politicians, is well aware of the need for a plausible alibi, and by not vigorously pursuing those delayed investigation results, they have in effect created one. I don't think there is a rule that says the committee must keep getting back to those people who are delaying sending them the results of investigations; the oversight committee has full discretion. Even if they are culpable 'in omission' they are clean; and in any case, any thing that happens there has to come in the form of finger points, which means to 'get' one guy you have to support the other, etc.
- It is also true that the IRS and other apparatuses have been used sundry times to suppress political opponents. This may be the true reason why third parties have never emerged in force; small groups organizing (not big ones, mind you) are harassed for various reasons. The Left handles their dissidents by taking on their positions (such as Green positions) thereby making the fringe groups largely redundant unless they are so radical as to be impractical.
- Some of this is granted in a two-party system, but we are not guaranteed 'the same two parties', so what is happening is that each party has found a way to resist being transformed, as they are supposed to be, to represent that part of the political division of the nation.

But that's just lil' ol' me. The big guns like Issa and Preibus, etc. need to be clever in different ways. Rand Paul, I think, is one of the best, picking his battles in surprising ways.

My kids have this meme as well. And I'm honestly not sure they know the difference between the two, but they make a lot of hobo references that crack me up (the hippies are the ones they refer to as "Uncle-whomever" and see regularly), by my definition.

I never got the whole "base" thing. Who the hell do you think elected these establishment types, martians?
Every elected politician has a base and that is who they make their primary appeal to. Unless you live in AZ do you think John McCain gives a fuck what you think? You aren't his base.
The base of the Republican party is a hell of a lot bigger than the Tea Party no matter how much we might want that not to be the case. It would be great if the Tea Party started looking at some, not all, of the establishment Republicans and tried to work with them and convince them to support their cause rather than lash out at them.
We are never going to beat the liberals if we spend all of our time fighting each other.

>>>I know, I know, this makes me a birther. But seriously, why?
Let me note, in a meta way, that this is precisely why we can't just lodge every accusation that occurs to us at Obama.
They have a defense. Stupid passes get picked off and run back for touchdowns.
A party -- especially one hated by the media; the Democrats have a lot of leeway -- which seems Willing to Believe Anything That Helps Their Cause seems to be one that is based in Shamanistic Primitive Magical Thinking, and not Reason and Science, and claiming the mantle of the latter is extremely important for convincing LIV to vote for you.
LIV do not vote on policies, they vote on People Like Me factors, and they consider themselves reasonable and based in reason, and they consider themselves opposed to Zealots Willing To Believe Anything and Who Shout About A Lot of Claims They Cannot Prove and In Fact Have No Evidence For At All.
This I guess is ultimately my biggest problem with this whole idea: Some actually object to the notion of "appearing reasonable," and actually plead, in final analysis, for "behaving unreasonably."
Feels Good =/= Is Effective.
As far as believing in the Birth Certificate: There is no reason to disbelive it, and a lot of proof that it's real (such as a contemporaneous note in the newspaper) that has to be explained away by convolutions.
If you want to sell someone on limited government, and want to make this sound reasonable, prudent, and based on sound thinking, you should probably not mix this agitation with your beliefs about UFOs and Bigfoots.

GOP welcomed them in 2010, but they do not seem to be 'joining up' the way the guys from 1994 did. The TEA Party also has not become 'satisfied' that they now have some power or influence; they want to do things, and change things.
The GOP is okay with them getting a slice of the graft, but to challenge the graft itself - this IRS thing is gonna get big, I think Issa understands that, and that is why he is proceeding so carefully.

Posted by: dan-O at May 24, 2013 02:29 PM (D0bIN)
here's a good example of the Left's offense vs the Rpeublicans' defense
As soon as the anti-gun bill died in the Senate, the Left aired smear ads on Kelly Ayotte (who's not even up for reelection until 2016!) The ads went on for weeks until finally the Right created their own counter-ads.
The counter-ads didn't attack the Left for their absurd position on gun rights, they touted Ayotte's commitment to law enforcement and gun safety. Really weak stuff.
That kind of defense sucks! Please, no more of it.
Defense is perfectly fine -- in the form of a proper and equal counter attack, not a put-up-your-hands and deflect punches type of defense.

True. And good points. I don't think we need to trumpet the birther thing. I just think we shouldn't join in the chorus to condemn those who are skeptical of the authenticity of it.
For me, the birther thing was important because, if true and his birth certificate was rigged, every single word of defense from his and all his cohorts mouths shows them to be abject liars in the highest degrees ... which I believe they are. The birth thing proves it.
But I wouldn't make it an issue. It does offend self-flattering LIV's and we need their vile votes.

They did not, however, pursue it. They did know it was going on, but were not hot and bothered to get proof that it was happening. Would no one believe it on the eve of the election? Perhaps; personally, I don't think attacking the GOP here is a good strategy. They have the strong position at the moment - they 'waited it out' until it got ripe, then they picked the m*********r.
This needs to be a two phase strategy: use the GOP to gut the Democrats. Then gut the GOP from the inside out. Let them think it's their battle to win.

The only problem I have with what you've been saying, ace, is that it is logically defeatist.
Tell me where I'm misunderstanding what you're saying here, because what it seems like you're saying is this:
1- Republicans must have 100% documentation of every little fact regarding any "scandal" or accusation, whereas Democrats can just assert whatever and the question revolves on "the seriousness of the accusation."
2- Even when Republicans have 100% documentation of every fact regarding a set of accusations (as with Benghazi) we will only move the needle if the Media allows us to move the needle- if they don't talk about it, we can't get the word out.
So what is the logical conclusion there? Give up? Join the Democrats?
My suggestion is to fight harder. Yes, you pick appropriate battles. In 2008 the birth certificate thing was a worthwhile battle (to some extent), but as of November 2008, it became moot. So you don't pick crazy battles. Every crazy battle you pick makes you look that much crazier even when you do pick non-crazy battles.
But- what do you do when you have a non-crazy battle? Do you sit on it hoping for an opportune moment to bring it up, or do you bring it up anyway? I say you bring it up anyway- constantly, loudly. Become a freaking Cato the Elder ending every appearance and even every casual conversation with "Carthago delenda est." Eventually you will get through to *some* people. And that's how you begin to build momentum.

What about a jon stewart from the middle like reading the onion on tv and giving straight opposing views in an interesting manner?
fox may help to some but honestly i don't want Right news, I want truth news. but i would like to see directors that might like to speak to middle america or american values , the ones that are savable.

It's more of a practical matter than that, don't you think? The great crime committed by the Tea Party was usurping Establishment types in a number of high profile coups.
So it doesn't really matter if you are John McCain, safely ensconced in your Senate seat. Those people DARED to primary some of your colleagues!
I think that's why Washington Republicans fear and dislike the Tea Party. Don't you?

The italians have a name for one type of this sort of thinking, "dietrologia." This is the idea, much beloved by those who like conspiracy theories, that the idea that the obvious thing cannot be the truth; the clever man, the wily man, always looks behind the obvious to find the Real Explanation.
The problem with this is that it is illogical and a style of thinking which is really about self-love and not love of truth. The person indulging in this sort of thinking -- the obvious thing must never be the true thing! -- want to show other people that he is too wily to be taken in by the Cover Story, and is crafty enough to know The Real Truth.
It's an ego thing.
At any rate, while people love thinking this way (and italy itself is crazy for this type of conspiracism), it looks insane to anyone on the outside. Because it is kind of insane.
The obvious reason that the GOP "didn't make an issue of this" is that they did not have in their hands a report confirming all the particulars issued by an outside, independent, and even liberal-leaning source.
So of course dietrologia suggest that this could not possibly be the REAL reason!!!

So until someone offers up what that "something" is, we get more of the same - Democrats only play offense and Repubs only play defense. And we bitch about losing.
So what's the alternative?

Mark Levin believes the repubs chose to ignore it because it was mainly Tea Party groups complaining and they didn't want to bring up the issue for fear of being associated with those groups. Nice theory and probably correct.
My guess is that they are pushing it now to get some advantage in 2014. But, I expect Issa to drop the issue before any actual prosecutions would take place.
If the repubs really wanted to put an end to the practice of the IRS targeting conservative groups, they would be pushing for a special prosecutor. A special prosecutor, in front of a grand jury with subpoena power is the only way to nail the guilty. Otherwise, it's all for show.

Look at McCain. He was getting dumped on by the Conservative wing of the party until he picked Palin. As soon as the race was over the Tea Party had no use for McCain anymore and he had none for them. He didn't need them anymore.

A more reasonable explanation would be that these "unsubstantiated" accusations came across the desks of prominent Rs in Washington, and then sat there for a couple of weeks, when if the accusations had more directly effected them, they would have acted on them right away.

This is really the way to settle this perennial argument here at the HQ.
If Ace (and polynikes- ace, you realize you're on the same side as polynikes, right?) are correct, then Issa will push this until he gets indictments. He'll keep pushing at least until he gets a special prosecutor, who then brings things to a Grand Jury (and I have little doubt a Grand Jury would hand down at least some indictments). He might even keep pushing until he catches some fairly big fish.
If the other group is right- he'll stop. He'll get enough political capital to sway an election or two, and then (what's the latest news on Fast and Furious?) will disappear, to be the purview only of "kooks" and "whakadoos."
The IRS Scandal is a great test- because we know -we've seen with our own eyes- that there is enough evidence to at least lay this at Tim Geitner's door. Benghazi is the same (wrt Hillary).
So either Ace is right- and now that we have something that's picking up steam, the Republicans will do what's right. Or the Republicans will not do what's right, because some supposed political advantage is more important to them than the Republic they're supposed to be serving.

I think establishment GOP types - such as Karl Rove - would darn well know what questions can and cannot be asked. Asking for the "content of prayers" from those guys would probably result in a letter with embossed letterhead stating that a civil suit is being filed against the IRS under the US Code.

No, I don't think the GOP could have 'gone to market'. But bear in mind, these findings were available (though stalled up) over a year ago. If they had put pressure in the right places, they might have been able to get them to cough up the goods. At that point, the press would have had no choice but to give some credence to it.
However, I think the GOP wasn't hot on being painted with the 'birther' brush, or being too associated with the TEA Party. Once the election was over, they *could* begin to pursue those things, giving them enough time for the press's screen tactics to wear thin.
But it was Barky who triggered this, wasn't it? Interesting, isn't that?

I've been saying that the Republicans can't just keep quiet because the media isn't on our side.
well for your information they didn't keep quiet; they pestered the DOJ and IRS with questions, which, because they were answered falsely, may now serve as the basis for prosecutions.
But absent evidence, what exactly do you propose?
I really think the difference is that some people are very, very comfortable with lodging evidence-free accusations and other people are not.
It simply is not true that any accusation will do.
We see a lot of this, a lot of people just saying "Well throw anything at them, keep them off balance."
But it doesn't keep them off balance. A weak accusation is not only easily parried, it's easily turned against the attacker.
Posted by: ace at May 24, 2013 02:50 PM (LCRYB)
ace, the obvious logical conclusion to your reasoning re media and politics is: resistance is futile - truly, literaly futile
But to latch onto a portion of this debate that I have whined about many times before - and based on direct personal experience - here I go again.
A hostile, unprofessional, not very bright, and thoroughly indoctrinated media can still be used.
Most important technique is to challenge premises (which are almost always false, and in fact embody the distortion and mythology that has replaced "reporting"). Case in point. A US ambassador in GWOT country is being visited by several editors of one the biggest Euro periodicals. An embassy adviser explains to him that these guys are coming all the way to the war zone for this interview, they damned well will have to use whatever you give them, so take advantage of this and DO NOT ACCEPT THE ABSURD PREMISES OF THEIR QUESTIONS. In fact, confine yourself to dissecting and refuting their premises, plus toss in our current themes and key points along the way. They will be unhappy, but utterly defeated, and forced to print your substantive points.
"Sounds great" or something to that effect. Euros arrive, we're crammed into the ambassador's fairly small office in various chairs. First question - "was the damage caused by the (redacted) scandal still affecting your ability to win the war here?". Perfect, teed up with the wind at his back, all quiet, and a perfectly manicured green beckoning from a short par-3 140 yards away. "Well, we need to assure (redacted) that we are true to our values, so of course that scandal caused major damage ...." (facepalm)
Think of Newt lecturing whoever in that SC debate. Subject - stupid (a candidate's personal life and honor, whatever) - but tactic, perfect. Of course it takes at least average verbal intelligence to properly humiliate and destroy these idiot reporters in a live setting. Newt has that, so do a few others. But even the more challenged could, I dunno, have a try at being relevant, useful, and effective citizens by just challenging the idiotic premises that make up MOST of the press's questions.
Once did a local NPR call-in show. Well, it was SUPPOSED to be a call-in show. But when we got to that point in the program, the host decided just to keep asking me questions (subject was a major part of above-mentioned GWOT campaign referenced above). I have no doubt what happened - could see it in his face. Guy was terrified to have his usual airhead NPR types call in with hostile questions and get their asses handed to them (by me)on his air. No doubt about it. Safer just to continue asking me (rather meek, submissive) questions and let me drone on. Funny, the look on his face was the same one I saw on the face of a big-wig from a major foreign policy-related civic organization at a dinner where I was introduced to him (just 5 of us at a table). Once he heard my background, he sort of went into a crouch, got quiet, and didn't look comfortable, even as my buddy (unaware) tried to spark discussion of major topics. Are my stature and talents intimidating? Of course not - they're negligible by "public figure" standards. But this just reminds us how cretinized the "elites" have become. But some of them are self-aware enough that they literally fear having to discuss their views in the presence of someone who's not going to humor them - who in fact seems like he might pretty much disembowel them, discussion-wise.
And then there were the times the public affiars bigwigs came from DC to the war zone for short visits. We would confront them on the outrageous silence or passivity of the admin. in the face of the distortions and slanders about US policies (NOT US political figures, who of course are of no importance) in our war zone, and others. Silence. They had no response. They fully shared ace's "hmm, it's hopeless, can't take the initiative when the press is basically the other side" operating assumption. Truth is, they didn't have the brainpower or character to actually try something.
So no, I absolutely reject the wrong and frankly lazy assumption that there's nothing you can do about the press. And "being angry" is a straw man, ace, as obviously the anger has to be proportionate and linked to specifics, when it's evidenced at all. Challenging each false premise, making it the springboard for your own points, and yes using just the right amount of vituperation to force yourself into the news - these are very effective things that can be done. But the political class on the "right", while generally far brighter than the mess of racist ignoramus statist cretins on the "left", still has few people with the brains or character to even try this.
Thus - the surreal, beyond-Orwellian media environment in which the civil society rots.

The harassment and targeting of tea partiers by the IRS is not that hard to figure out.
"Dear congressman X, here's a copy of the letter sent to me by the IRS"
Dear Bill O'reilly, dear Rush Limbaugh, here's a copy of the letter from the IRS.
I mean, what the fuck? Didn't any lawyer involved in this process at some point think that maybe these questions are not on the up and up?

you don't believe there was a deliberate cover up then?
See, because I do. So I tend to believe that the cover up would have held.
The IG knew he was supposed to release the report. Someone in the WH told him to delay it. He obeyed.
As the WH controls the DoJ -- the people who can prosecute federal crimes -- of course the IG knows he's safe in obeying the WH, and not safe in disobeying it.

But whatever, we saw letters for the first time last week.

I think there was a deliberate cover up, but if you kept hitting them, the dots would connect and someone would be forced to cough up the goods. But the effort required against the possible gain in time for the election, only to have spent the effort defending the media-unpopular TEA Party?
It all adds up to simply a confirmation of the ineptitude and mild complicity of the establishment GOP. What I don't get in your responses is that you already know this - why in this case do you have cause to doubt it?
In any case, this is something that we should bear in mind - we need to assist the GOP in hammering the living heck out of these guys in any way we can. In the Strategem 'kill with a borrowed sword', you don't dull the sword, even if it might be used against you later. The kill is what is important.

That's how I'm reading it. Because waiting for something even close to an airtight case is going to result in no movement.
The Institutional Left has control of the Bureaucracy, the flow of information, the culture, the federal justice system, half the Legislative branch, a majority of the Judicial branch, and most likely the electoral process.
This is as close as we will ever be to making something stick.

Which is why the AP / Fox scandal is such a biggie. Next thing you know he'll have been embezzling funds from Ivy League universities. They should never have crossed their own guys, but of course, like the popular celebrity, they don't recognize their devotees and thus don't have a concept of what happens when they cross them. The concept is simple: Fame is based on people knowing and respecting you in some fashion; killing that respect hurts you. Thus, the more famous you are, also the more vulnerable you are, especially if the strength of your position is based strongly on the support of said people.

then you're reading wrong.
How about we show some discretion in which accusations we make, and when? It is better to lodge the ones that are true, and to do so when we have evidence in hand.
This suggestion that We Ought To Have Just Made the Accusation Before We Could Prove anything seems to be determinedly ignorant of the fact that a lot of people already think we're kind of crazy and prone to believing anything, just because we Hate Obama So Much.
Look, you don't have to agree with the GOP's call here to not All In on an accusation they weren't even sure was true. Perhaps you are RIGHT-- perhaps there still would have been some (minor) benefit to lodging the accusation ahead of the evidence.
But to take this tactical disagreement and turn it into They're Out To Get us is a busride to crazytown.
THIS is what is so offputting about this attitude-- that any sort of persecution theory we dream up should be taken to market and offered up as a Serious Position.
Posted by: ace at May 24, 2013 03:05 PM (LCRYB)

It's not as if Issa can't hire lawyers and people to get to the bottom of this.
Posted by: joeindc44 at May 24, 2013 02:47 PM (QxSugPoint of clarification.Issa is to be commended for pushing as hard as he is, but the Special Prosecutor/Independent Counsel law expired in 1999 so he has no recourse other than to shame the Attorney General (or, in the event of a recusal, the Acting Attorney General) into appointing a Special Counsel under DOJ Regulation 28, part 600.
Any criminal prosecution in matters like these is absolutely always handled by the DOJ, unless a Special Counsel is appointed. That's just the way the law is. Congress can pursue matters in the civil courts, which is already what they are doing in the case of Benghazi, but that's very different than a criminal prosecution.

Second, the individual people hurt by the egregious actions of the IRS (from top to bottom) can still proceed. And any evidence found by ISSA can be used by them, no?

If not now, when? How do we fight? At what point is someone on the left or media held to account? When does a Judge step forward and say enough? They want us to overreact or submit. They want violence to break out so they can point at us and screech " unhinged!"
The shear weight of scandals will be our moments undoing. The media will pull one like the did for Bill Clinton. So many accusations, clearly partisan and therefore beneath the dignity of coverage. They've already tried that a little bit..
Maddening.

ace, more than reading wrong, I was addressing a different part of the picture.
As in, the general and abiding refusal of the GOP and others to affect what people hear/see (and they can do that) by not just continuing the brain-dead passive submissive approach to the press.
I wasn't - at all - addressing the tactical specifics of the IRS thing. In that case I would think there is a lot of room for debate over tactics and strategy. And (speculating) many that may be chomping at the bit for a more aggressive approach in that casewould reasonably be at wit's end over the GOP's generallylimp postureand lack of seriousness infighting media distortion - which is what I was attempting to address.

Serious question. What SHOULD we do? You're right, the Media will ignore, obfuscate, or simply lie about concerns about JEF and his Administration.
How do we fight it? It seems obvious to me, to the point of me nearly breaking down in a profane, screaming fetal position, how corrupt Obama is. But how do you reach people when they shrug off the IRS scandal as "the Tea Party deserved it"?
I mean, we've all heard the "they came for x, y and z, and I did nothing, then they came for me ..." story, but most Obama supporters don't seem to grasp the concept that Barack Obama and the Democrats DON'T CARE about them. They'll be the useful idiots being purged, and I can't get anyone who isn't already predisposed to "our" side to even listen.
I hate being angry all the time. I hate thinking 52% of the populace are comprised of fucking morons who, in prehistoric times, would be eaten by cave bears. I hate tearing what little hair I have left out screaming about how people can be so stupid that they can't see that Obama is orders of magnitude worse than Bush (who they hate), and yet they give the Mocha Messiah a pass on every thing they professed to hate under Bush.
What can we do when the Media runs interference, Obama can brazenly lie, and most people are too stupid to realize either?
And I don't ask to be antagonistic. I am just at the end of my rope, I have no idea what to try. Clearly voting doesn't work, since the IRS has been ridding Obama of all those "troublesome priests ..."
*takes deep breath* Okay, I feel a little better. Ace, my little puggie sword is yours to command. What should we do that can make a difference, short- OR long-term?

Get in Their Faces: Leftists Began Coordinated, Intentional Campaign to Impose a "Chilling Effect" on Conservative Donors (Their Own Words!) in 2008
Big article at the WSJ, putting this all in context.
The White House insists President Obama is "outraged" by the "inappropriate" targeting and harassment of conservative groups. If true, it's a remarkable turnaround for a man who helped pioneer those tactics. On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats. What came next was not common. Bob Bauer, general counsel for the campaign (and later general counsel for the White House), on the same day wrote to the criminal division of the Justice Department, demanding an investigation into AIP, "its officers and directors," and its "anonymous donors." Mr. Bauer claimed that the nonprofit, as a 501(c)(4), was committing a "knowing and willful violation" of election law, and wanted "action to enforce against criminal violations." AIP gave Justice a full explanation as to why it was not in violation. It said that it operated exactly as liberal groups like Naral Pro-Choice did. It noted that it had disclosed its donor, Texas businessman Harold Simmons. Mr. Bauer's response was a second letter to Justice calling for the prosecution of Mr. Simmons. He sent a third letter on Sept. 8, again smearing the "sham" AIP's "illegal electoral purpose." Also on Sept. 8, Mr. Bauer complained to the Federal Election Commission about AIP and Mr. Simmons. He demanded that AIP turn over certain tax documents to his campaign (his right under IRS law), then sent a letter to AIP further hounding it for confidential information (to which he had no legal right). The Bauer onslaught was a big part of a new liberal strategy to thwart the rise of conservative groups. In early August 2008, the New York Times trumpeted the creation of a left-wing group (a 501(c)4) called Accountable America. Founded by Obama supporter and liberal activist Tom Mattzie, the group—as the story explained—would start by sending "warning" letters to 10,000 GOP donors, "hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions." The letters would alert "right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives." As Mr. Mattzie told Mother Jones: "We're going to put them at risk." ... None of this proves that Mr. Obama was involved in the IRS targeting of conservative nonprofits. But it does help explain how we got an environment in which the IRS thought this was acceptable.By the way: Obama is fond of saying "the first victims of Muslim terrorism are other Muslims." In the same way, the first victims of Obama's "chilling" strategy were supporters of Hillary Clinton and then John Edwards-- they, too, were "put at risk."

You guys miss the point. There are enough partisan leftists in the civil service that will carry out these attacks, and not enough conservatives in the civil service at any level to put a stop to it. We will never be able to take "payback" on leftist groups. They have overrun the instit
The civil service itself is the enemy, and it will not change. We are at war, and the sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can figure out what to do about it.

In fact, he really is President Historic First© -- No president in American history has even come close to committing as many high crimes, misdemeanors and outright felonies. Not LBJ, FDR or Harding.
Is someone with some stature in the political (or political-comments) scene ever going to show some huevos and call for impeachment? Or do we have to wait until the Chicago Jesus has totally shredded the Constitution, wiped out (what's left of) the economy and handed the remains of the country over to his Muzzie pals?

From the NYT opinion piece: "In the end, the core unifying theme of the Tea Partiers is populist rage, and this is the core theme in Stack’s ramblings, whether the rage is directed at corporate titans (“plunderers”), the government (“totalitarian”) or individual politicians (“liars”).
I don’t doubt that Tea Partiers are on balance on the right, and if their movement ever crystallizes into a political party that will be its location. But until the requisite winnowing happens, a person with Stack’s fuzzy ideology wouldn’t feel terribly alone at a big Tea Party."

His entire "we'll get to the bottom of this" schtick is seen for what it is- a cheap and dishonest deflection.
It's as if the man is just a pedestrian to the presidency and things just happen around him.
But he's going to "get to the bottom" of things clearly already within his orbit.
People aren't that stupid. They've been listening to him drone on for years now. He's wanted people to hear him and tried to convince them of these convictions. You know, everybody bad is "rich", "partisan", "conservative", "Republican"- anything that's divisive and he can wield to get what he wants.

As I pushed yesterday.
The theory behind the "permanent" civil service was that they be non-political and work for the best interests of the country.
If they're entrenched political hacks for one side, which was clearly the case at State for years and is increasingly exposed at other agencies, then why bother keeping them permanently and giving them protections?

The first is Obama's Justice Department throwing the NBPP case. It surely wasn't *planned* as a dog whistle to supporters, but it would have been hard to intentionally come up with a clearer signal to Obama supporters that the administration was prepared to wink at rough stuff directed at the Right. Not so much a dog whistle as a foghorn. Ironically enough, the best reason to think it may not have had an effect on the IRS situation is because it received so little mainstream media coverage that some IRS people may never have heard about it.
The other one - come to think of it, wasn't Obama recorded *joking* in public about threatening people with tax audits? Now, I don't think this on its own is strong evidence that he knew about the politically-motivated IRS targeting that was actually taking place or about to take place. But at the very least it was, as people pointed out at the time, a bad idea for the chief executive to be setting the tone in this way.

You know, the one thing that has never been tried in these muslim riots (from France, to England, to Sweden) is just kicking their assess.
Oh, sure, the police will go out in riot gear, and they might use tear gas, and batons, and such. But no one has just sent in the troops (even just cops) and said: "Further resistance will be construed as an attempt to use lethal force- which will be responded to in kind."

Ever seen Enemy Of The State?
The NSA and associated agencies were fucking with Will Smith and Gene Hackman by bugging everything and tracking them.
They turned the tables by using some of those same bugs against the people harassing them as well as arrange for one to be "found" while spying on a Senator having an affair, meaning that the NSA got a Congressionally-directed enema aimed at finding out who was using those bugs and why.
In short, the idea is to use some of Barry's own tactics against them in a way that would cause major problems for them.

There is no need to fight. It is over.
As the money and power flowed into DC, the people we sent there to run shit started to avail themselves of more and more embezzled from the flow.
Eventually, actually running shit fell off the agenda, and all the remaining players know how to do is to increase that flow of money and power and steal ever more of it.
That is how we got Obama.
This system works [pretty badly, but it still "works"] so long as enough of the everyday people not in DC get out of bed each morning, perform their subconscious cost/benefit analysis, and then choose to head out to mine the salt that we all know won't mine itself.
The revelations of these last couple of weeks are too much. Instead of just getting out of bed each morning, more and more of these everyday people not in DC are going to actually wake up in the mornings to come.
This will quickly become evident in payroll tax and estimated tax receipts, the ratings agencies are going to downgrade the country's credit, the house of cards will tumble, and the dollar will become worthless almost overnight.
It is over.
They (both parties) had a chance early on to swiftly close the Cincinnati office and start prosecuting the hell out of people and sending them to PMITA federal prisons. They passed on that, and it is now too late.

The skeletons in my closet rattle like castanets but I wouldn't shy from running for public office. I'd own everything, all of it--the drinking, the drugs, the women--even volunteer some of the things they might've missed. Who I was then and who I am now are completely different people. It would be a hard sell, sure, but do-able, given the right combination of luck, talented campaign people, and a willingness to get down and dirty with the opposition.
Of course, such a strategy is probably a losing strategy, but what the hell. If you're going to lose anyway, why not go out in a blaze?

The Barak Obama Do It Yourself Speech Kit:
Preamble: this must consist of varying portions or iterations of the following; [Place in any order you choose]
“Folks are hurtin’.” [This must be said with feeling, to show caring.]
“We have to invest in the future.” [Translation; Spend Spend Spend!]
“We need a balanced approach.” [Remember, this means Tax Increases so make it sound reasonalbe.]
“My hope and expectation is that we can put country before party and get something done for the American people.”
[This is the crux of the speech, this is where it is emphasized that any disagreement is tantamount to Treason.]
[At this point it is important to have an agenda list that will consist of proposals. Use the following skeleton to introduce each of the agenda items.]
— Obama Introduce a Subject on the Agenda —
“Some would say…” [Insert here a quotation of something No One ever says.]
“let me be perfectly clear…” [This is the place for obfuscation about the subject and any position regarding the subject.]
“We cannot simply just…” [This is where you mention something that would be the exact solution to the problem and the American People know it, i.e. "we cannot simply just drill for all the oil we need."]
“make no mistake about…” [Here is where the Exact Opposite of any of the things which are to take place are stated.]
“I reject the false choice that some would…” [Again, reiterate quotations that No One has ever said followed by Him vs. an idiotic extrapolation of any Republican position.]
“I have ordered my team to…” [Doesn't matter what actions you fill in here, they aren't going to do it.]
— Repeat as needed for new subjects —
Then, in closing you must include a reference to the Bush Administration and “The Failed Policies of the Past.” that we cannot go back to.

Because Ace's Amazon store is designed like this blog, it's impossible to make the purchase. Of course, as with ampersands and italics, there may be some mysterious secret way of accomplishing the goal.
If there is someone with this alien space technology who wishes to help Ace receive money from this transaction, please feel free to walk me through the steps.

“Time for them to do their damn jobs”
Friend --
Getting in President Obama's way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they've gone too far.
They've been caught red-handed making up so-called 'scandals' out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast 'cover-ups' happening in the White House.
Did they find a single shred of evidence to back up their outrageous claims? No.
But rather than let the truth stand in their way, Republicans actually doctored emails between administration officials about Benghazi. Then, they released them to the press, trying to pass them off as real in order to create their scandal. Fortunately, they got caught in the act when the White House released all of the actual emails.
Tell President Obama you've got his back right now, no matter what Republicans come up with next.
While Republican leaders were focused on stirring up controversy, Michele Bachmann was talking about impeaching President Obama for absolutely no reason, and Republicans in the House voted to repeal Obamacare -- for the 37th time.
That's how they think they should be spending their time and your money.
Make sure the President knows that you stand behind him and his agenda right now -- and that you won't let Republican games distract you from advocating for real change that will benefit all Americans.
Stand with President Obama today -- and send the message to Republicans that it's time to stop playing political games and get back to work for the American people:

By the way: Obama is fond of saying "the first victims of Muslim terrorism are other Muslims." In the same way, the first victims of Obama's "chilling" strategy were supporters of Hillary Clinton and then John Edwards-- they, too, were "put at risk." -ACE
If you are Arab, become a wahabbist and the other wahabbist fanatics leave you alone.
One way to avoid the victimization is to assimilate. Just go, Give up your ethics and convictions. Change your views. Change your religion. Change your Name.
And it may work. Even Stalin did not kill all the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. The Red Terror in 1935-1939 only killed or exiled 1/4 of Leningrad.
It works OK if it is ideological only. But if you are singled out because your family is Jewish, or Gypsy or Black, you are SOOL.

You have got to be kidding me that that is a real letter from Brad Woodhouse. Are people so stupid out there that they are still buying the bullshit Obama's team is shoveling?
Yeah, I know the answer to my question is a resounding "yes" don't depress me, it's Friday.
And the stupid obots on Twitter blaming the GOP for the bridge collapse here make me sick. Only way the GOP is even remotely responsible is if the guy driving the truck that caused the accident votes Republican.

They violated two parts of the First Amendment at the same time.
TFG has hit every bit of the First Amendment (Press, Religion, and Speech), and they seem shocked that we're sure he'll go for the Second, too.

Swedish snipers don't need .308 imported rounds to lessen the rioters' numbers.
Ever heard of 6.5X55 Swedish ?? Recognized by quite few as 'The' Most Aerodynamic, straight-shooting round there is. [for medium-length ranges, especially.]
I've got a Swede Mauser [Gustav]in this caliber and can drive tacks with itusing a 3X9 and little real talent at 250/300 yds.
..and almost no recoil. All day comfort. What more can you ask for?

Holy shit, UK Mirror just released footage of the two Woolwich jihadis getting their booms lowered.
Mr. "Jazz Hands" is the first to go down as he charges the police car. The female PC is the driver and was unable to draw her weapon and fire on him. Her partner with the MP5 is the guy who drops him with a burst, and he goes flying. The other jihadi looks like he engages in a short-lived firefight before he too is dropped.

Noticed some oil stains under my car, and it looks like something has been leaking recently- what should I be investigating? I noticed the engine coolant was below "low", so I filled that back to full, is that it? (overhot engine causing oil to leak?)

"And therefore, I support a media shield law to shield the media from those of my minions using the law against them. And I am appointing Eric Holder to look into why Eric Holder is persecuting the media....the media can thus rest assured that they have a friend in me, and if by chance honest men such as themselves should make enemies, they become *my* enemies too. And in return, someday, and that day may never come...."
End paraphrase.
I this entire recent series of events, I have found it exactly in line with everything I already believe about American news-media that Americans have bern getting ass-raped and intimidated by the Left for years and when the Left finally does it to the media, it is natural their priority is to ask for some law just for themselves, so that they may continue to leak information that I would be arrested for doing, ans so that they may continue to act as a privileged aristocratic, untouchable class--so that they may continue to act as judge, jury, and executioner, deciding what the public needs to see and what it does not; deciding what issues should be highlighted and what issues should not.
In short, so that they may continue to try to steer the American Republic from the back of the old-style ladder truck.
Even Fox News is not immune from this charge (as amnesty shows), and I'll submit that in trying to functionally make decisios for the people on the people's behalf instead of being the people's information valet so that the people themselves could make the call--well, this is ultimately what got their phone records spied on by the DOJ, because they lifted into office the type of people who did it.

“We need your honor, that inner compass that guides you,” the president
said, essentially using the platform at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial
Stadium to scold those who have strayed from that direction recently.
“Even more than physical courage, we need your moral courage — the
strength to do what’s right, even when it’s unpopular.”
I don't know how they kept from walking out.

The oil pan drain plug may be it. Check that.

Put some cardboard under and not where the leak is. Without moving the cardboard (maybe tape it down beforehand) crawl under and see where the leak originates.
There are really only a few places oil can leak
oil filler cap and the dipstick are the easiest and most obvious.
oil filter and drain plug
Check your PCV valve - if that is plugged oil could collect and run off from there (you would see it from the top of the engine)
Oil pan gasket or crack in the oil pan.
Valve covers
Main seals.
Beyond that your option is crack in the block.
Check your oil level to make sure you don't run out. The upside is that oil leaks piss off the greenies and left (BIRM).

The only reason that little shit is still alive is that the Eastern Front collapsed on the germans in 1944. Otherwise he was on their list, it was just his collaborating ass was at the bottom. After all, even the nazis regularly gassed their kapos at Auscwitz. Stalin regularly killed-off the heads of the NKVD and MGB. The only reason Beria outlasted Stalin, was that he killed Stalin first.

President Obama held a private meeting with top national security journalists on Thursday afternoon following his national security policy address at the National Defense University in Washington, POLITICO has learned.
Present at the meeting were Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist; Gerald Seib, the Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau chief; Fred Hiatt [the only non-lib -ed.], the editorial page editor of the Washington Post; David Igantius, the Washington Post columnist; Jeffrey Goldberg, the Atlantic correspondent and Bloomberg View columnist; and Joe Klein, the Time Magazine columnist.
The meeting, which was scheduled to last for one hour but lasted for two, was held in the Roosevelt Room of the White House.
