Jihad marches on: "You don’t rise in the armed forces if you can’t read your superiors. And the rising officers who met Hasan knew what their superiors wanted without having to be told.

Actually the first thing is impeachment of our president: "The tragedy, reader, is that any of us in 2-3 minutes can see how it could all be reversed — a full-fledged effort to develop all our energy resources, from nuclear to natural gas, radical cuts in public spending, closed borders, fiscal sanity and pay-as-you-go legislation, a return to merit instead of situational pleading. Given our wealth and talent, in four years we could balance the budget, slash energy imports, and make schools work far better with fewer dollars." http://bit.ly/ehPw2c

Racketeer lawyers march on. "Chevron used scores of similar “Crude” outtakes as leverage to force depositions and discovery from the plaintiffs’ team.

Global execution squad: "It was an ordinary-looking room located in an office building in Northern Virginia. The place was filled with computer monitors, keyboards, and maps.

Together they watched images on a screen that showed a man and his family traveling down a road thousands of miles away. The vehicle slowed down, and the man climbed out.

Et tu, Andrew Sullivan! Then fall, Obama? "To all those under 30 who worked so hard to get this man elected, know this: he just screwed you over. He thinks you're fools. Either the US will go into default because of Obama's cowardice, or you will be paying far far more for far far less because this president has no courage when it counts. He let you down. On the critical issue of America's fiscal crisis, he represents no hope and no change. Just the same old Washington politics he once promised to end." http://bit.ly/i3zGf8

US Government prevaricates on: "It has now become quite common to hear U.S. officials confidently assert that 90 percent of the weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels come from the United States. However, a close examination of the dynamics of the cartel wars in Mexico — and of how the oft-echoed 90 percent number was reached — clearly demonstrates that the number is more political rhetoric than empirical fact." http://bit.ly/fyy4Yt

Our godless, lawless, narcissistic president: "Obama's own book makes him look like an agnostic (or an atheist).

"Well, let me tell you something Mister and Mrs. John Q. America, we've had our Sputnik moment wake up call and we've stopped hitting the snooze button. When I go flying up that ramp and across that canyon on March 6, dangerous crosswinds permitting, it will send a message loud and clear to the Japanese and Uzbeks and Cameroons - it is on, amigo." http://bit.ly/icjReH
Email to Time magazine: "Then, Time needs to run an apology to Christina along with the retraction. (Add Hannity in your apology, too...those good folks don't deserve to be in a caustic, untrue story about me.) Thanks much - keep up the great work, Time Magazine." http://bit.ly/gkNBE9
Happy warriors: "The dominant impressions had nothing to do with the merits of individual candidates: the tremendous vigor and energy we are seeing in the conservative movement; the influx of a new generation of freedom-loving, highly talented youngsters; and a pervasive sense of confidence and good humor. We've had three-day periods when we've laughed more, but not many." http://bit.ly/furEcB
Politicly correct idiocy: “This is the director of intelligence of the global superpower and he is going on one of the most historic days in the Middle East– he is going around the world announcing that the guy in charge of U.S. intelligence is an idiot,” http://bit.ly/eWMI5G
The election of an empty suit: "Onto the blank screen an image of Abraham Lincoln could be projected. If someone preferred FDR, no problem -- the screen was seemingly blank and the suit empty." http://bit.ly/ezUTop
British politics from a straight shooter: "In short, it is by no means clear that Britain could walk out of the Council of Europe without also leaving the EU, a prospect which scares most of our politicians witless. For the country at large, however, leaving the EU would be a delicious bonus." http://bit.ly/fZmTH4
Reading enables us to see through the eyes of another: "At that moment the door opened. Standing there in white shirt, beige slacks—with a peach complexion, light-brown hair, and the most incredible face ever seen by man—was Greta Garbo. I almost gasped out loud as Cole introduced me to her. No make-up—unmatched beauty. It was the only time I saw her at anything but a distance." http://bit.ly/f90KlY
Better than Polonius: "My code of life and conduct is simply this: work hard, play to the allowable limit, disregard equally the good and bad opinion of others, never do a friend a dirty trick, eat and drink what you feel like when you feel like, never grow indignant over anything, trust to tobacco for calm and serenity, bathe twice a day . . ." http://bit.ly/hUx2WS
Egypt's prognosis dismal. "Optimism is cowardice. Memo to the temporary residents of Tahrir Square: pray for rain in China." http://bit.ly/erieJ6
'"I’m not one who questions the existence of the president’s birth certificate," Pawlenty said.' http://bit.ly/hioWuc Better to say "publicly questions". The governor of Hawaii attempted without success to find a proper birth certificate for our president. That is, a certificate with details that can be proved true or false: precise location, identity of those providing professional assistance, etc. Do not diss the birthers.
More truth than poetry: "The Obama regime is now the unsurpassed and most bizarre combination of outward stupidity and hidden (by the media and others) pure evil intent ever to rule over the citizens of the United States of America." http://bit.ly/elB7xy
O's biographic lie marches on: "Whether he was born in Hawaii or in Washington State -- or wherever -- we know that he did not spend the first two years of his life in a happy, little multicultural home in Hawaii as advertised. He ascended to the presidency on a fully fabricated origins story." http://bit.ly/dKaXsa
O marches on: "Unsavoury organisations usually pay large amounts of money to glitzy PR firms to improve their public image. In the case of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood however, the Obama administration has offered its services for free." http://bit.ly/eBvc1M
O marches on. "In choosing ideology over reality, the Obama administration has induced a situation where rather than construct policies to deal with reality, at all levels, US officials have been charged with constructing policies to deny and ignore reality." http://bit.ly/dLOw6Y
"the real problem is that the ethic revealed in the Bible is both rejected and reviled." http://bit.ly/hAA6t2 And the God revealed in the Bible is both rejected and reviled. As the four gospel accounts of the Crucifixion tell us plainly.
To Egypt blogger SandMonkey (attempting to post as comment at Rantings of a Sandmonkey » Mubarak’s gamble http://bit.ly/e55NLM ): "Congratulations for surviving. I was worried.

Interesting. More honesty, decency, loyalty, and common sense from the King of Saudi Arabia than from our president. "In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually. http://thetim.es/fNH3gV
O'Reilly softballs O: "Hey Bill, you know what any responsible interviewer does with that exchange? He follows it up with the bottom-line question: Mr. President, will you unconditionally condemn the Muslim Brotherhood for the historically virulent terrorist organization it is, or not?" http://bit.ly/dVXjBU
Neat summary: "He has repeatedly shown that he cannot deal with, and will never be able to shoulder responsibility, as he is at his core self-absorbed, dishonest, and without coherence in his personal beliefs and convictions, thus putting the United States into long-term economic and international peril." http://bit.ly/h8kQGz
Hard times ahead for US unemployed, starvation elsewhere: "The price of corn, which has doubled over the past six months, affects most food products in supermarkets. It's used to feed the cattle, hogs and chickens that fill the meat aisles." http://bit.ly/eqAIp8

O owes the world an apology for childish dithering: "But the improvisational — critics say closer to schizophrenic — nature of U.S. diplomacy during the crisis leaves the administration in the unwelcome position of having to make amends with whichever side emerges from the Egyptian tumult as the governing power." http://politi.co/eiqXdc

Lockstep liberal academia marches on: "Dr. Haidt estimated that liberals made up 80 percent of the 1,000 psychologists in the ballroom.

A "light brigade" of youthful inexperience: "The opposition shrugged off remarks by Vice President Omar Suleiman, published Wednesday, in which he urged them to participate in talks, saying the alternative is chaos, which he said the government couldn't allow." http://on.wsj.com/faAgF4
Jihad marches on. (Even more anti-humanity than O) 'The ISI's "War Ministry" called on Egyptians to free more prisoners. "Don't rest until you have rescued them all, then destroy them (the prisons) with the aid of God, so that not a single stone remains standing,"' http://bit.ly/frpTaR
Thomas Sowell, spot on, as usual: "by the time it reaches the Supreme Court, Obama may have put more of his appointees there-- and, if so, they will probably rubberstamp anything he does. He would therefore have done a complete end-run around the Constitution and be well on his way to becoming the Hugo Chavez of North America." http://bit.ly/ijkz6Y
O ignores high speed rail facts: "Only two rail corridors in the world – France's Paris to Lyon line and Japan's Tokyo to Osaka line – cover their costs, says Ken Button, director of the Center for Transportation Policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. http://yhoo.it/hu3tLv
Government marches on: "It’s win-win all the way around for everyone but taxpayers and small operators in licensed markets." http://bit.ly/ex1G9v
Critical facts ignored by both Egyptian mob and world class community organizer: 'Wisner, speaking via videoteleconference, today said that "The Egyptian constitution is quite clear: If the presidency is vacated, then the speaker of parliament takes over and in a couple of months you have elections. Those elections would take place under the current dispositions. Those dispositions are currently unacceptable to those protesting in the streets of Cairo today."' http://abcn.ws/eoIIQP
Even more true today: "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." http://bit.ly/f9vPFc

Obamacare marches on: "All claims made for it were false. It will add trillions to the federal deficit. It will lead to a de facto government takeover of health care faster than most people realize," http://on.wsj.com/g2UboJ
Infanticide marches on: "Using a sonogram, the abortionist guides a spinal nettle through the woman’s abdomen into the unborn child’s heart and injects poison or air to stop the baby’s heart from beating. Once the abortionist kills the baby, he leaves the woman on her own to visit her personal doctor or a hospital emergency room to have the now-dead child delivered." http://bit.ly/gWMsqP

The "incredible lightness" of O: "And someone might whisper in his ear that if you run around the world bowing deeply before foreign rulers and undermining your country's moral position and standing in the world, you cannot expect to have your imperious demands be taken seriously abroad." http://bit.ly/icWdiA
A wise democrat: "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of common brotherhood.” http://bit.ly/h1d6kU
European common sense. Where are our educators? '"Today in France, not mastering English is a handicap," he told French television. "We know the earlier you start learning English, the easier it is to pick up other languages when young. This idea is not to the detriment of other languages; however, English is a priority."' http://lat.ms/i2wwst
What O should have said earlier. Youth have even less idea than the rest of us of what is going on in our fast changing age. "Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak "must stay in office" during a power transition, a US special envoy says. Frank Wisner was speaking as protesters kept up their demands for Mr Mubarak to step down immediately." http://bbc.in/eVjvw6
Dependency on big government marches on: "When Black History Month was celebrated in 1950, according to State University of New York research, 77.7 percent of black families had two parents. As of January 2010, according to the Census Bureau, the share of two-parent families among African Americans had fallen to 38 percent." http://wapo.st/hDJxOy
British government talking sense: 'The Prime Minister’s speech was among the most important of his premiership so far, dealing with a subject critical to British national security, as well as the future of Britain as a free nation. It was a powerful condemnation of a deadly Islamist ideology that threatens the very fabric of British society, as well as a wholehearted rejection of “the doctrine of state multiculturalism.”' http://bit.ly/ieynGo

Wikileaks affirms the big picture: "Napoleon was a lunatic who thought he was Napoleon, and the joke applies to the 44th United States president with a vengeance.

The hollow O marches on: Exploring emptiness: "Instead, all he had to offer was just a bunch of empty promises. It is almost as if Obama believes that a really good inspirational speech will somehow make things better.

His Grace reminds us of important & timely truths: "For Israel, the refrain ‘You were slaves in Egypt’ became an everlasting leitmotif which yielded humility, obedience, gratitude and social relationship." http://bit.ly/8iy9lp
