Not the news oil/carbon hating environmentalists hoped to see:

Newsweek published an article on a look back at President Obama’s election and subsequent performance.  The typically liberal magazine publishws a startlingly objective piece, written by a conservative historian.

This week the Congressional democrats broke ranks to repudiate Obama’s Syrian refugee initiative and provided congress with a veto proof majority. Now it remains to be seen how many of the Democratic Senate will be brave enought to vote the same and face their voters.

An email is going around that Matt Patterson’s article, some of which is below was published in that issue of Newsweek.  However, according  to Truth or Fiction web site, Matt’s article was published in 2011 in American Thinker website.  It is an interesting perspective.

By Matt Patterson

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job?  Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League, despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer;” a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention,less often did he vote “present”); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.

He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama’s “spiritual mentor;” a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama’s colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?

There is no evidence that he ever attended or worked for any university or that he ever sat for the Illinois bar.  We have no ocumentation for any of his claims. He may well be the greatest hoax in history.

Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberalDom to have hung  out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were ‘a bit’ extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass – held to a lower standard because of the color of his skin.

Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) “non-threatening,” all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest? Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon – affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don’t care if these minority students fail; liberals aren’t around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin – that’s affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn’t racism, then nothing is.

And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.

What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama’s oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people – conservatives included – ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that’s when he has his teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth – it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years. (An example is his 2012 campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008 speeches)?  And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the task. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerless-ness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The other day he actually came out and said no one could have done anything to get our economy and country back on track). But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

 

On the seemingly rare occasion that a liberal media person tries to exercise equal treatment of politicians, the liberal politician squirms under the treatment and lashes out!

Wasserman Schultz freaks out

On Friday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell actually fact-checked Hillary Clinton’s suspicious tale of trying to join the Marines in 1975: “Those comments are being mocked by Republicans today and they’re getting two Pinocchios from Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler….Why on earth would she go to a Marine recruiter in 1975?…It doesn’t make sense.”

Her guest, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was so taken aback that the Florida congresswoman attacked Mitchell for asking questions: “With all due respect, Andrea, why on earth are we talking about this?” Mitchell hit back: “Because she brought it up in New Hampshire the other day. If she hadn’t brought it up, it would not be an issue in this campaign.”

Schultz argued: “Andrea, Andrea, what the story illustrated was that we have made a lot of progress in America. Secretary Clinton is absolutely right. I mean, back then, you did have a much tougher time for women to be able to make it successfully through the recruitment process and move up in the military and we’ve made tremendous progress since then.”

Mitchell replied:

I mean, with all due respect, I won’t defer to anyone in terms of people who have done stories over the decades about the challenges of women in the military….So I don’t think that’s the point. I think the point is just, did this happen? You have a presidential candidate, the frontrunner in the Democratic Party, saying something happened which is quite strikingly dissonant to people who knew her back then.

Schultz whined: “I just find it really unreasonable, Andrea….this is a personal story that Hillary Clinton has told, and it’s not the first time she told it. It didn’t come out of the blue.”

The head of the DNC talked herself into such a corner that she actually wound up defending Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson:

Do we need every single experience in a person’s life to be written in stone and blood and verifiable? There are things that happen to people all across America that can’t be verified. And I know your next question’s going to be about Ben Carson. And I think quite frankly, the same goes for stories about Ben Carson.

Sea level rise from melting Antarctic ice will not be as much as previously thought.

President Obama’s response to the radical Islamic terrorist attack in Paris is shocking to me.  He appears angrier and more passionate in his words towards those who think we should put a hold on allowing refugees into America than he is against the terrorists.  He called the attack a “setback” whereas other leaders called it things like “a war on humanity” “war with Islam”.

We just saw how five Syrian refugee men (military age men: ages 18-35) with fake Greek passports were caught in Honduras trying to get to the US. HELLO!  There is no database in Syria of who their citizens are, so there’s no way we can investigate them for allowing them here.

It is a mess of a situation, but I feel that NATO and the UN should create a safe zone in Syria, so they can stay in their country.

If you have ever wondered why the press is so biased against conservative groups or anything which does not conform to their usual liberal thought this should help you understand. It explains why the press is silent on things like: murder rate in Chicago despite tight gun control, sanctuary cities, crimes by illegal aliens, etc.

ABC  News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National  Security Adviser.

CBS  President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National  Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

ABC  News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press  Secretary Jay Carney.

ABC  News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s  Deputy Press Secretary.

ABC  President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth  Sherwood.

CNN  President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy  Secretary Tom Nides.

This may also explain the lack of interest in HilLIARy’s private email, lies about Benghazi, President Obama’s not speaking out about deaths of police officers, etc., etc., etc.,  etc., etc.,……..

 

Isn’t this a violation an individual’s right to religious freedom?

Praying football coach on leave

Hasn’t the ACLU and atheists and others taken the first amendment and twisted its meaning?  I don’t think it’s “freedom from religion” as in we’re to take religion out of public life.  Freedom of religion means this football coach can pray on the field.  No one is coercing the students to pray with him.

 

 

Looks like global warming is not all man-made and mankind can actually do something to help.  Cut down the lianas vines and shred them to use as mulch.  Let’s organize lianas vine cutting safaris.  We can form groups to live in the jungles for weeks at a time chopping these down.  Come on everyone, it’s for the future of Mother Earth, we’ve got to do something!  We know we can’t count on Al Gore, Brad Pitt, HiLIARy Clinton, Michael Moore to give up their private jets, so it’s up to us.

Nations around the world are attempting to come up with an agreement to curb CO2 emissions. All the while vines are strangling jungles, reducing their ability to recycle Co2.

The specific plants at blame are lianas vines, which are commonly found in tropical rain forests across the world. ‘Lianas’ is not refer a taxonomic group of specific plants, but instead is more akin to “shrub” or “tree.”  Lianas vines are long-stemmed, woody vines that crawl up trees and into canopies.

Now these vines are threatening to reduce the ability of jungles to store and recycle carbon. Researchers believe that the lianas vines, which are spreading aggressively across tropical rain forests, could reduce the overall Co2 recycling ability of tropical forests by 35 percent.

Why do they do this?  Dredging up the past that we’re trying to eliminate from our shameful history as a nation.  These cannons were used by traitors to America.   Digging them up to put in a museum is an affront to all peace-loving Americans!!!  Join me at “signmypetition.com” or visit: stampouthistory.com to stop this shameful divisive baiting.
