Republicans Disappointed the airline flight 253 didn’t blow up

Republicans disappointed the airline flight 253 didn’t blow up.

Dick Cheney harshly criticized Obama’s “low key response“ from : thinkprogress.org

Dick Cheney - “As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.”

Right Wing Renews Calls For more Racial profiling

Tagged with: Racial Profiling

On December 29, 2009, In Conservative,

Radio host Mike Gallagher: “There should be a separate line to scrutinize anybody with the name Abdul or Ahmed or Mohammed.” (Note: Those are some of the most common names in the world.)

Rep. Peter King (R-NY): “100 percent of the Islamic terrorists are Muslim, and that is our main enemy today. So why we should not be profiling people because of their religion?”

Terrorism pundit Steven Emerson: “Remember, there have been so many complaints about quote, profiling, by the quote, Islamic civil rights groups, that they stopped basically profiling. And that basically led to not putting this guy onto the terrorist watch list.“ see link

Pat Buchanan’s Latest Racist Rant: “Traditional Americans Are Losing Their Nation”

“They watch on cable TV as illegal aliens walk into their country, are rewarded with free educations and health care and take jobs at lower pay than American families can live on — then carry Mexican flags in American cities and demand U.S. citizenship”. ‘

Lou Dobbs Fits In Well With The Other Wing Nuts at FOX

Fox Business Eyeing

ox Business Network is eying CNN host Lou Dobbs, the New York Times’ Brian Stelter reports.

Stelter merely mentions the news midway through his article on the ongoing battle between the White House and Fox News:

Certainly, Fox continues to aggressively bolster its on-air talent, most recently with the hiring of John Stossel, the libertarian investigative journalist from ABC News, for its spin-off channel, Fox Business. The business channel is also keen on another administration critic, Lou Dobbs, who met for dinner with Mr. Ailes last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the meeting.

Fox Business, as Stelter mentions, has been boosting its profile of late, most notably by simulcasting Don Imus’ radio program weekday mornings from 6-9 AM. The addition of Stossel will bring another brand-name journalist to the fledgling network.

Dobbs has drawn negative attention over his promotion of the “birthers” issue, which has caused headaches for CNN executives eager to promote their network’s nonpartisan stance and lets not forget his xenophobic views of Hispanics in the u.s.

Jewish neoconservative Kristol Floats ‘Plausible Rumor’ That Hagel Will Replace Gates, Calls Him ‘An Advocate Of Retreat Everywhere’

Tagged with: Foreign Policy • Jewish Neoconservative

On October 1, 2009, In Bill Kristol, Hugh Hewitt,

Yesterday, Foreign Policy Initiative co-founder Bill Kristol appeared on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, where he said that he now believes “for the first time that he will not accept General McChrystal’s recommendation in Afghanistan.” “I really worry now about the next few years to a degree and in a way that I really hadn’t before,” said Kristol. - thinkprogress

KRISTOL: People are talking about Secretary Gates leaving at the end of the year, and being replaced by Chuck Hagel

HEWITT: Ugh.

KRISTOL: Yeah, exactly, as Secretary of Defense. I think that’s quite a plausible rumor, and a very worrisome one, because he is an advocate of retreat everywhere, I think.

HEWITT: Yeah, it’s sort of neoisolationism replacing neoconservatism as the driving intellectual force behind the intellectuals on either side.

Pictures of The Spanish Prime Minister’s Daughters: they are Goths

Pics of Spanish Prime Minister’s daughters: they are Goths :

Photo: Flickr

This Photo caused a problem: Included was a shot of the Obamas posing with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife Sonsoles Espinosa, and two daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, who’ve never had photographs of themselves published previously in print or online due to a Spanish law prohibiting the media from doing so. The photo of Zapatero and his family with the Obamas was quickly removed from Flickr at the request of the Spanish government but still lurks online (in the shot seen here their faces are blurred). The flap is adding concerns on the issue of the privacy of world leaders’ children in the digital age.

Writing on The Daily Beast today, Republican Senator John McCain’s daughter Meghan expressed sympathy for the girls, who’ve been labeled as “goth” in the photo. She says she’s also bewildered by the Spanish government’s reaction:

I want to start out by saying I can’t believe there is a country that exists where the media protects children of public figures, let alone the prime minister’s daughters. It is literally hard for me to fathom that there is a place that respects the privacy of underage children of politicians and diplomats. The second part of this that makes me very sad is that these two girls are enduring a sort of baptism by fire with the media scrutiny that surrounds their family portrait with the Obamas. Not only are they not used to being photographed, but their first foray into being photographed and criticized is on a very public scale with the most famous and powerful politicians in the entire world.

A Look Back at Political Opportunist and How they use Xenophobia

On May 12, 2009, In Conservative, Political Commentator,

Politics is a nasty thing sometimes and the North American Swine flu is no exception from being used by politicians and people with an agenda. for most people with an unbiased view of things it would be clear that lots of B.S was made about the connection of immigrants and swine flu. but for most racist it cant be seen. its must be the brain they have that lacks any objective thinking.

if you look at history you can see that immigrants are an easy target for people looking for a scapegoat , most are racist people.

just look at Racist Republican Michael Savage

Any Obama success could hurt GOP’s electoral chances

Tagged with: A.M Radio Talking Heads • GOP Electoral Chances • Obama’s Plan • Stimulate The Economy • Tax Cuts

On January 25, 2009, In Rush Limbaugh,

Obama’s plan would buy votes for the Democrat Party, in the same way FDR’s New Deal established majority power for 50 years of Democrat rule, and it would also simultaneously seriously damage any hope of future tax cuts. It would allow a majority of American voters to guarantee no taxes for themselves going forward. It would burden the private sector and put the public sector in permanent and firm control of the economy. Put simply, I believe his stimulus is aimed at re-establishing “eternal” power for the Democrat Party rather than stimulating the economy because anyone with a brain knows this is NOT how you stimulate the economy.[thinkprogress.org]

Is the GOP Still a National Party?

Tagged with: GOP Demographically • National Party • The Majority

On January 25, 2009, In Pat Buchanan,

By michaelpinto

No matter what side you’re on you have to admit that Pat is very bright (for starters he got it right in Iraq before most others on either side). His thesis is that the Republicans are becoming a regional party limited to the south, and looking at Sarah Palin I’d say that he’s right on the money.

Pat Buchanan: Is the GOP Still a National Party?

creators.com — The majority of 49 states and 60 percent of the nation Nixon cobbled together in 1972, that became the Reagan coalition of 49 states and 60 percent of the nation in 1984, is a faded memory for the GOP. Demographically, philosophically and culturally, the party base has been shrinking since Bush I won his 40-state triumph over Michael Dukakis.
