Newspaper: Gore's millions not helping warming cause
A liberal newspaper washes its hands of far-left hypocrite Al Gore:
It wasn’t just that he lived large, in a mansion with a carbon foot-print the size of Godzilla’s, and got around inefficiently (energy-wise) in carbon-ridiculous private jets. It wasn’t just the hypocrisies. It was the inaccuracies. His Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” was rife with them, as revealed by investigations of the BBC and others. His predictions of a planet getting hotter and hotter to the point of famine and Florida disappearing under rising seas have failed to be realized.
Have you been following the debate over Pennsylvania's new Voter ID
law? Democrats are challenging a common-sense law that requires a photo
ID before casting a ballot, claiming it will prevent many Obama
supporters from voting in November. The letter below was published in The West Chester Daily Local News and the writer does a great job of exposing Democrats' real reasons for blocking an attempt to prevent voter fraud.
Not really a surprise
I don’t know how many of you recall Gordon Bennett’s letter in
the Daily Local a few weeks ago (“Voter ID Law part of GOP strategy”)
complaining about those mean Republicans in Harrisburg depriving “more
than 700,000 Pennsylvania voters” of their right to vote, most of them
who would “normally vote Democratic.” And I’m thinking (with a bit of
mischief), “What is it about Democrats that they don’t know how to
obtain proper ID like most people?”; and, were I Mr. Bennett, perhaps
I’d be a bit reluctant to raise the question in a public forum.
But then again, should we be surprised? For isn’t this in large
part a constituency that has become so dependent on others for guidance
and assistance that special laws and regulations and entitlements must
be passed and instituted and fostered on the rest of us to accommodate
them?
Consequently, we are told that what is perfectly normal for the
great majority of people ... obtaining photo ID ... is an “outrageous”
suppression of their rights and a way to get Mitt Romney elected, and
the governor’s office should be inundated with calls, express your
outrage, blah, blah, blah. My goodness, such indignation!
In his shoes, seems to me I’d rally the party faithful and get
these people down to the local county Democrat committee, or get some
form out to them, sign ‘em up! How long have these people NOT had
identification? Just a few days, or maybe ... a few YEARS!? How about a
little less whining and showing some initiative? This sounds a little
like New Orleans and Katrina, if you ask me, where people sat around
waiting for help (unlike the victims of Mississippi flooding in the
Midwest), rather than looking out for themselves which, if you’ll pardon
the obvious, is pretty much what one of the major themes of this
election is all about too.
The real war on women is being waged by Barack Obama and Democrats.
From The Washington Free Beacon:
Female employees in the Obama White House make considerably less than their male colleagues, records show.
According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).
Calculating the median salary for each gender required some assumptions to be made based on the employee names. When unclear, every effort was taken to determine the appropriate gender.
When gas prices hit $4 a gallon in 2008, Barack Obama blamed George W. Bush's "failed energy policies." So who do we blame now that gas if back to $4? Anybody but Obama, of course.
The liberal media is up-in-arms about Mitt Romney's personal wealth. But what's wrong with a successful person holding the nation's top job.
If Mitt Romney were elected president, he would rank No. 4 on the all-time list of richest presidents. He would also be in good company.
Here's is Forbes magazine's ranking of the 10 richest presidents:
George Washington Herbert Hoover Thomas Jefferson John F. Kennedy Andrew Jackson Theodore Roosevelt Zachary Taylor Franklin D. Roosevelt Lyndon Johnson James Madison
Newspaper: Holder Cowardly Plays Race Card in 'Fast and Furious'
A scathing editorial in Investor's Business Daily about Attorney General Eric Holder playing the race card:
The attorney general says he and the president get criticized because they're African-American. He once said we need an honest discussion about race. OK, let's talk about him hiding behind his.
Times have changed since the evening of April 7, 1775, when Samuel Johnson said that patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel.
In the supposed post-racial era ushered in with the election of President Obama and the appointment of Attorney General Eric Holder, racism has replaced it as the ultimate defense against charges of incompetence and misguided policies.
In an interview with the New York Times published over the weekend, Holder accused those who want to know who authorized the Fast and Furious gun-running operation of being racially motivated.
The 60 congressmen, two senators, two sitting governors, and all the major presidential candidates who have openly called for Holder's resignation are not concerned in his view about how two U.S. agents and hundreds of Mexicans got killed with U.S. guns.
No, according to Holder, they are motivated by the color of Holder's and President Obama's skin.
7 of the 10 richest members of Congress are Democrats ... and the corrupt liberal media keeps telling us the Republicans are the party of the rich? Gimme, a break!

Obama delays massive oil pipeline from Canada until after 2012 elections
The key phrase on why Obama delayed the pipeline project until after the 2012 elections: "Some liberal donors have threatened to cut off contributions to Obama's re-election campaign if he approves the pipeline."
This sums up Obama's energy policy. Screw the American consumer. The only thing that matters is keeping me in power.
When bailed-out private Wall Street banks handed out bonuses last year, the president threw a fit. So why is he ignoring the huge executive bonuses at government-owned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
