Admit It: Decent Folks No Longer Have a Place in the
Democratic Party. Steve Pauwels /
The most recent edition of
my favorite political journal, National
Review, features this blurb in their wrap-up of the week’s
happenings:
The war on poverty has been conducted partly in earnest and partly
self-servingly … Head Start today is a money-laundering program under which
federal expenditures are transmitted to Democratic candidates … The main
beneficiaries of the war on poverty have not been and will not be the poor –
the beneficiaries are the alleged poverty warriors themselves. The result: a
large and expensive welfare state that provides relatively little welfare, a
destructive and ruinous war on poverty that has not done much to reduce
poverty. It gives the poor some material succor, but leaves the root causes
alone – at best.
Fortunately, I was reading
this in a public place — because the excerpt made me want to throw my coffee
cup against the wall. Righteous indignation? Well, I hope so. But fear not,
self-control won out – the only place the java went was down my gullet.
With so much to choose from
in the political/cultural Left’s fetid trove of ludicrosities and obscenities,
I’m not sure why this particular outcropping of obnoxiousness set me
off so sharply– but it did. And reminded me of a harsh truth that simply must
be acknowledged once and for all: these are bad people– the Democrats, I mean.
I know, the frontliners in
the GOP too frequently are prodigies of gutlessness. Boehner and company? An
embarrassment of don’t-create-a-ruckus, go-along-to-get-along accomodationalism,
for sure.
But Democrats? They’ve
nakedly, ineluctably morphed into the party of evil. As I said, harsh; but
undeniably true.
Along with leading the
charge in bankrupting America fiscally, Dems have gone whole hog in ransacking
the soul of her citizens, as well. These towering disgraces have nailed their
colors — Pink? Lavender? Red? Mortuary Gray? — to the mast of legalized
baby-killing, perversion of sex and genuine marriage, institutionalized envy
and victimhood. Defecating on our military and law enforcement is a party-wide
pastime for these wretches — cloyingly using cops or troops as political props
when convenient, otherwise icily cutting their legs out from under them at
virtually every juncture. This braying Donkey caucus thrives on distorting
facts and debauching history — that is, lying — and turning American against
American: black or Latino versus white, woman versus man, young versus old,
taker versus producer. Since God specifically clues us in that He “hates” those
last two bits of odiousness (Proverbs 6:19), are we allowed to call their
proponents what they are: wicked?
Admittedly, I’m fingering
most directly Democratic leadership — national and state politicians, party
chairmen and hackish muckety-mucks. I must say, though, the “little people” who
heedlessly keep returning these jamokes to power are on the hook, as well,
bearing a dilating measure of blame for the catastrophe the party of FDR and
LBJ and Clinton and Obama are wreaking upon this decreasingly praiseworthy
nation. Sorry, but “I was born into a Democratic family” or “My Daddy was a
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, so I am, too” or “I belong to a union, so I always
vote Democrat” flatly doesn’t cut it any longer as justification for
re-installing these America-smothering scoundrels into office year after year.
The sentimental and selfish obliviousness of these, my fellow Americans, is
despoiling my country.
At one time, I suppose, one
could insist there remained redoubtable outposts of psuedo-sanity within this
Liberal/Leftist claque — the odd public official, the local or state branch
which bore the title “Democrat” but still came down on the right side of
things, at least intermittently. That hoary possibility, however, is currently,
virtually non-existent as those adhering to the big-government-adoring,
morality-eschewing faction march lockstep toward a utopia they envision, but
which sensible, decent and sentient people dread.
You read my implication
correctly: “sensible, decent, sentient” people are no longer Democrats.
If you’re a God-and-Country
loving habitué of the United States, a patriot who believes the State shouldn’t
perpetually pay people NOT to work, that our Republic was founded, in some
meaningful regard, on reverence for the Creator and respect for the Judeo-Christian
Scriptures, that unborn human beings and that highest of human institutions —
marriage — deserve some official protections, that Christianity is NOT the
problem in this land but part of the solution, that skin-color or ethnic
ancestry are not the traits to trump all others — if you are that kind of
individual and still are clinging convulsively to any smidgen of devotion to
the Democratic party? Time to wake up and make the break.
Weather by blinkered
ignorance or ugly stupidity or sheer malevolence — and I’d contend it’s very
often a blending of all the above — Barack Obama’s party is pushing policies
and philosophies which are evincing themselves the undoing of America. He —
Obama — is the incarnation of this misguided gang. He’s essentially wrong about
everything because his political fellow-travelers are similarly situated:
wrong, wrong, wrong; everywhere one looks Team Democrat is wrong. Patronize
“wrongness” long enough? There’s always a price to pay, one our nation is
paying right now — and will continue, punishingly, to pay far into the murky
distance; unless America summarily dumps this bunch.
Dunces among the
Republicans? Idiots turning up at Tea Party rallies? Cringe-worthy Libertarians
or conservatives? Self-evidently, they exist. Any sufficiently numerous cohort
of humanity is going to generate, at minimum, the occasional nit-wit or knave.
Democrats, however, make foolishness and villainy their national charter,
actively peddling it to the gullible and running the country into the ground in
the mix.
Ronald Reagan memorably
announced, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the party left me.” That was
fifty-one years ago – but today Old Dutch isn’t alone. He’ s joined by other
self-professedly honorable people, many of whom have yet to acknowledge the
obvious: the party of evil has afforded them no other option but a decisive
parting of the ways.

El soldado SEAL que mató a Osama bin Laden no recibe pensión y no
tiene seguro de salud. Por Jamie Gumbrecht, CNN
(CNN) – Él es el hombre que entró a un dormitorio en Abbottabad, Pakistán,
levantó su arma y le disparó Osama bin Laden tres veces en la
frente.
Casi dos
años después, el integrante del equipo SEAL6 de Estados Unidos, es una celebridad
secreta sin nada que mostrar por la acción: sin trabajo, sin pensión, sin
reconocimiento fuera de un pequeño círculo de colegas.
El
periodista Phil Bronstein hizo una reseña sobre el hombre en la edición de
marzo de la revista Esquire, llamándole solo El Tirador, un esposo, padre y
miembro del Equipo Seal No. 6 que cuenta qué pasó al apretar el gatillo contra
el líder terrorista. Es un relato detallado de cómo se desarrolló el ataque y
lo que sucedió después para los involucrados. El titular en la portada lee:
"El hombre que mató a Osama bin
Laden... está jodido".
"Ellos
pasaron, en el caso del tirador, 16 años haciendo exactamente lo que están
entrenados para hacer, que es salir en estas misiones, despliegues tras
despliegues, matando a la gente", dijo Bronstein, director ejecutivo del Centro
de Periodismo Investigativo. "Ellos finalmente llegan al punto en que no quieren hacer
eso".
Bronstein
informó que el hombre dejó el equipo SEAL No. 6 en septiembre. La cobertura
médica para su familia terminó. Debido a que se retiró antes de los 20 años de
servicio, no recibe pensión.
El Tirador
es prudente acerca de los detalles de su historia y no ha estado involucrado en
libros, películas o videojuegos que harían millones para algunos. Es por
lealtad a su trabajo y la preocupación por la seguridad de su familia. A él le
preocupa lo que pueda ocurrir si su nombre se hace público, como Matt
Bissonette, el SEAL cuya identidad fue revelada después que él publicará el
libro "No es un día fácil", usando un
seudónimo.
Bronstein
informó que al "Tirador" le ofrecieron un cierto tipo de protección
de testigos, pero tal programa aún no existe.
La vida del
hogar es una lucha también. El Tirador y su esposa están separados, escribió
Bronstein, aunque viven en la misma casa, "en términos muy amables e
incluso cariñosos", para ahorrar dinero. Ha realizado trabajos de
consultoría, según le indicó Bronstein a Wolf Blitzer de CNN, en una entrevista
que será transmitida el lunes en la tarde, pero no está claro cuánto tiempo va
a durar.
"De
repente se encuentran tratando de insertarse en un mundo civil al que no están
acostumbrados y al que no han estado acostumbrados durante décadas", dijo
Bronstein. "Creo que él tiene pesadillas sobre cómo va a mantener a su
familia y cómo va a alimentar a su familia".
La Marina
respondió en un comunicado: "No tenemos ninguna información para
corroborar estas afirmaciones. Tomamos muy en serio la seguridad de nuestra
gente, así como nuestra responsabilidad de ayudar a los marinos que hacen la
transición a la vida civil. Sin más información adicional sobre este caso en
particular, será difícil determinar el grado en que nuestros programas de
transición tuvieron éxito".
Gatria: Peligra la
vida del opositor cubano Jorge Luis García Pérez Antúnez
El Comité de Ayuda a los
Activistas de Derechos Humanos (CAHRA) por sus siglas en inglés) se une al llamado
mundial por respeto a la vida y derechos individuales del destacado dirigente
opositor Jorge Luis García Pérez “Antúnez”. Como se explica en el comunicado
original, la vivienda del matrimonio opositor, Antúnez e Yris Tamara, fue
saqueado el 5 de febrero, ellos detenidos, golpeados y sus aparatos eléctricos
y comunicacionales más importantes robados. Luego, al ser puestos en libertad,
Antúnez decidió declararse en huelga de hambre y sed el 10 de febrero
reclamando respeto a sus derechos humanos y la devolución de los efectos
sustraídos ilegalmente de su hogar. Pero, lejos de ceder a sus justas demandas,
la reacción de la dictadura fue enviar nuevamente a sus represores a la
residencia de Antúnez e Yris el 11, al día siguiente de haber entrado en la huelga,
para amenazarlos, pintarrajear las paredes de su casa y dejarle sentir que lo
van a dejar morir si no levanta la huelga total.
Nuestra preocupación es
que el gobierno esté tratando de deshacerse de Jorge Luis en forma parecida a
como lo hizo con Payá Sardiñas, Orlando Zapata Tamayo, Laura Poyán y más
recientemente con Alfredo Fernández Silva, del Partido Democrático 30 de Noviembre.
Por experiencia propia puedo decir que en 15 días más el valiente opositor
Antúnez pudiera morir pues una huelga sin ingerir alimentos ni líquidos
no se soporta más allá de 15 ó 20 días. Yo participé en una huelga parecida en
la cárcel de Remedios en 1968 y a los 11 días tuvieron que llevarme, casi sin
conocimiento, hacia el hospital más cercano. Otros hermanos que participaron en
dicha huelga tomaron orine, como un amigo nuestro apodado El Murito, para
extender un poco más su existencia y se salvaron únicamente porque en esos
momentos al gobierno no le convenía un muerto más en presidio. No sabemos si en
estos momentos al dictador le convenga o no un muerto más. Parece que no le
importa pues en vez de estar buscándole una solución al problema lo que hace es
provocar a Antúnez para que continúe sin ingerir alimentos ni líquidos.
Nuestro Comité hace un
llamado a todos los gobiernos democráticos del mundo, a todos los organismos de
derechos humanos y a nuestros senadores y representantes cubano americanos en
este país, en particular, para presionar por todos los medios posibles a fin de
que la dictadura castro comunista suspenda toda represión contra la familia
Antúnez y contra todos los defensores cívicos de los derechos humanos en Cuba.

Capitol Hill Daily: Judge
Could Slap the Cuffs on obama Any Minute. By FLOYD
BROWN.
Barack Obama has become known as the president who ignores the law and does
what he pleases.
There are many examples, but the latest is the reboot of the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, formerly known as the Office of Political Affairs (OPA). Previously, the OPA had been closed after illegally pouring tax dollars into congressional campaigns and prohibited activities.
The fact that the OPA is being reopened after these abuses warrants concern. Heck, even Congressman Darrell Issa, the Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has expressed his extreme trepidation about Obama's latest move.
The congressman is so troubled that he wrote a letter to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel requesting White House documents related to the OPA.
Congressman Issa's request included "all documents and communications, including emails, between the OSC and the White House referring or relating to the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach or the reopening of the Office of Political Affairs."
With them, the committee could "effectively consider whether taxpayer money is being used to advance the interests of Democratic congressional candidates and the Democratic Party."
Issa seems devoted to stopping the criminal activity, but the Obama White House has been legendary in its willingness to stonewall congressional Republicans' legitimate document requests.
I'll be watching closely to see if Issa is forced to go to court to get Obama to be compliant. If the courts force the White House to release the documents, it would handcuff Obama's future efforts to hide the truth.

A Disconcerting Lack of Oversight
Ironically, when Barack Obama was running for
president, he complained bitterly about the activities of the OPA during the
Bush Administration. Obama stated in 2008 that "the days of using the
White House as another arm of the Republican National Committee are over."
I guess in a way he was right. Rather than comply with the law and reverse what he saw as an injustice, Obama is redirecting the money to the Democratic Party (and candidates) instead!
But frankly, this should've never been a problem in the first place.
When I was an employee of the Reagan Administration, we had to attend "Hatch Act" briefings. The Hatch Act of 1939 was passed to forbid federal employees from engaging in forbidden political activities. Primarily, it prohibits federal employees from using their official authority or influence for the purpose of affecting the results of an election.
In these briefings, it was made explicitly clear that using government money for political campaigns was illegal. I guess times change, as it sure seems like the president is trying to make an end run around the Hatch Act prohibitions.
Even The New York Times reported that the White House was reopening OPA because it was "defending Democratic control of the Senate and taking back the House from Republicans." This constitutes a direct violation of the law!
But since Obama's team has been having trouble raising money, the honeypot of taxpayer dollars just looks too good to ignore.

THE WESTERN CENTER FOR JOURNALISM:
To my friends and
supporters:
I’ve been in a lot of tight spots over the years. I
know you’ve been there standing with me. I’ve been attacked by the
media. I’ve been attacked by political elites. And I’ve been
abandoned by politicians on both sides of the aisle. It has been lonely exposing
the fraud of the current administration.
Now I need you to stand with me and other leaders
from across the country.
I’m asking you to take action and join me on
Saturday February 22nd. On that day, I’ll be speaking at the Western Conservative Conference at the Phoenix Convention Center. You'll want to
hear what I have to say. And you only have a few days more to secure your
spot.
Friends from around the country will gather there to
formulate strategy to alter the course of our country’s history. The
timing is critical. We can no longer sit back and wait for others to
chart our course.
It is time for us to become the agents of change.
You need to be a part.

be opening the event. At Saturday night’s gala dinner, I have the
honor, or horror, of being “roasted” by some of my best friends
including rock legend Ted Nugent, box office star Steven Seagal,
Representative Matt Salmon, Senator Russell Pearce, former Attorney General
Bob Corbin and an all-star cast.
This will be a fun evening with a star-studded
lineup. The all-day Conference promises to bring in some of the best
and brightest (real) conservative leaders to share their thoughts, concerns
and solutions.

Nestor Dans: ¡¡¡NACIMIENTO DE UN GENIO!!!
Un chico de 16 años inventó un sensor que detecta
el cáncer en 5 minutos y en etapas tempranas.
Jack Andraka perdió a un ser querido a los 13 por
cáncer de páncreas. Se puso a investigar y descubrió el sensor, que cuesta 3
centavos de dólar. Los laboratorios se negaron a apoyarlo porque derriba a la
millonaria industria del cáncer. Una universidad avalará su descubrimiento.
Jack Andraka: para muchos la esperanza. Para los
laboratorios, el fin de un negocio.
Con tan sólo 16 años, un estudiante
estadounidense de secundaria inventó un sensor para detectar el cáncer en tan
sólo cinco minutos.
El descubrimiento puede cambiar la vida de muchísimas personas, pero también es una amenaza para la industria farmacéutica, que recauda millones por esta dolorosa enfermedad.
Todo comenzó con la pérdida de un ser querido cuando Jack Andraka tenía 13 años. Le dijeron que el cáncer de páncreas se detecta cuando ya no se puede tratar, lo que lo empujó a investigar sobre el cáncer a través de herramientas sencillas en Internet.
Y tres años después, descubrió una manera "rápida, simple y efectiva" de detectar esta enfermedad mortal, que gracias a este invento, podrá neutralizarse. Con información que obtuvo de Google y Wikipedia, Jack estudió las 8 mil proteínas que se encuentran en la sangre, hasta entender que una de ellas, la mesotelina, se dispara en etapas tempranas, en las personas que enferman de cáncer de páncreas.
"Detecta una de las miles de proteínas (la mesotelina) que hay en la sangre de los enfermos de cáncer. La mecánica fue utilizar anticuerpos y entretejerlos en una red de nanotubos de carbono, de modo que se obtiene un marcador que únicamente reacciona ante dicha proteína" explicó al presentarse en el Festival de las Mentes Brillantes.
El invento es un sensor de papel, que cuesta 3 centavos, y que es capaz de detectar en cinco minutos tres tipos de cáncer: el de páncreas, el de ovario y el de pulmón.
Pero lo más sorprendente de todo es que ha sido 26 mil veces más barato siendo 168 veces más rápido. Además, este método es 400 veces más sensible que los actuales y no es invasivo.
Pero su mejor punto a favor es que "se puede detectar el cáncer en las etapas más tempranas, cuando alguien tiene casi 100 por ciento de probabilidades de sobrevivir, y hasta el momento es más de 90 por ciento exacto para detectar el cáncer" dijo. "Y va a ser lo mismo para cáncer ovario y de pulmón" añadía "y cambiando el anticuerpo, este mismo invento puede utilizar una proteína diferente para detectar Alzheimer, otras formas de cáncer o VIH".
Pero no fue nada fácil de conseguir. De 200 solicitudes que envió a laboratorios, todos se negaron a continuar con sus investigaciones, excepto uno. Finalmente logró que la Universidad Johns Hopkins ayudará a su desarrollo.
Es un descubrimiento que podría afectar a la millonaria industria del cáncer.
Su invento está en etapa de tramitación de patentes, algo que puede demorar varios años, pero el día que se apruebe puede resultar toda una revolución para la ciencia médica.
Además, durante la conferencia, el joven apuntó que la ciencia no debería ser un lujo, y que debería ser un derecho humano fundamental, "el derecho de acceso a la información debe ser de todos, no sólo de los que pueden pagar" afirmó.
Un descubrimiento que le ha llevado a ganar el premio Gordon E. Moorede la Feria Internacional de Ciencia e Ingeniería de Intel y el Premio Smithsoniano al Ingenio Estadounidense y es el orador más joven de la Real Sociedad de Medicina en Estados Unidos. Sin duda, más que merecido.

Announcement of AG Eric Holder’s Departure May be Premature
In the February 17 issue of the New
Yorker magazine,
Jeffrey Toobin wrote, based on an interview he had with Attorney General Eric
Holder (shown) back in December, that Holder would be leaving office sometime
this year, perhaps sooner rather than later. Almost immediately the
Justice Department said Toobin was misinterpreting what Holder meant, and
issued a partial transcript of Toobin’s interview to prove it:
Toobin: And how long are you going to be the Attorney General?
Holder: Well, you know, I’ve still got things I want to do. I mean, I’ve
got this fight, this criminal justice reform stuff … I’ve got financial cases
I’m still working on. So I’m going to be here for a while.
Toobin: Do you want to [be] any more specific … do you know? A year? Two
years?
Holder: I guess, I think what I’ve said is, I’m going to be here certainly
into 2014.
Toobin: That’s a big commitment. It’s in like three weeks.
Holder: I think I’ve said, “well into 2014.”
Toobin: I see. “Well into”? OK, very good.
In another interview that Holder had with the Washington Post in November, he addressed the
issue, saying:
I’ve made the determination — I’m not sure I’ve ever said this publicly
— but I’m going to certainly stay in this job well into 2014.
If you had asked me that six months ago, I’m not sure I would have given
you that answer. I think I probably would have come up with a shorter time
frame. But given the issues that I want to focus on and given the condition
that they’re in, I think that staying into 2014 is necessary, but also
something that I want to do.
To many observers, his departure can’t happen soon enough. The New American reviewed the articles of
impeachment introduced in the House by Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) in November
which followed hard on the heels of a resolution joined by 130 members of the
House calling for Holder to resign immediately. Four articles were noted as
grounds for impeachment, including Holder’s coverup of his and his department’s
role in the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal and his refusal to hand over related documents
demanded by the House. The second article concerned Holder’s refusal to uphold
and defend various U.S. laws including the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The
third article concentrated on Holder’s refusal to prosecute IRS officials
accused of leaking sensitive private information to opponents of conservative
organizations, while the fourth related to Holder’s lying under oath about his
department’s targeting of journalists, specifically James Rosen of Fox News.
