Apparently Rush is resting comfortably tonight in Honolulu after a serious bout with weapons-grade heartburn.

I second Power Line's John Hinderaker:

Let's all say a prayer for the well-being of a good man who has contributed more than almost anyone else to public discourse in our time.

Karl Rove holds the Obama administration responsible for the Detroit Christmas Day terror attack :

They woke him up immediately to tell him he'd won the Nobel prize, but they couldn't bother to interrupt his vacation for three hours to tell him that a terrorist had tried to bring down a plane on Christmas Day.

Perfunction captures the prevailing mood.

Et tu, Manbearpig?

You can read all about it at the Telegraph.UK.

Or, if you're a moron, go to Moron Central. They have kittehs.

S'cuse me: global warming idiots? It's, um, OVAH.

It must suck to be an idiot.

Just saw this vid at YouTube:



Look out, folks. There's a new game in town. Allen West is serious.

Meet the next great Congressman from Florida. His full title is Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, U.S. Army, Retired, and he is the kind of man idiots fear:



Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, U.S. Army Retired wants his country back, and he's going to go get it. Can't wait for the first idiot who gets in his way.

Any man who successfully extracts valuable and timely operational information from terrorist assholes is my kinda guy.

Fun on the Tonight Show:

Vaclav Havel on Obama: Soiling Your Pants Prematurely Will Not Gain You International Respect

Creamy rich.

Oh Yeah.

Typical Soros-financed left wing bullshit: never address the issue at hand. Instead, attack, defame, slander and demonize. In this case, Media Madders accuses Jim Hoft of being a homophobe.

Which is meant, of course, to deflect attention away from the issue at hand:

Gateway Pundit, Big Government, Breitbart.TV, Michelle Malkin, Founding Bloggers, and others have been consistent in arguing that this doesn’t have anything to do with sexual preference. Change the little boys depicted in the offensive material contained in Fistgate I and Fistgate II into little girls, and the material is just as inappropriate.

This has to do with counterattacking the assault by the left on childrens' innocence and sexuality, an assault hiding behind a phony campaign for "tolerance" in schools. Why is it hiding? Because they know what they are doing is wrong and unacceptable to the vast majority in a civil society; they put that front up to begin with to cover their real agenda, which is to weasel their way into the schools as "educators" to indoctrinate children and subvert parental authority, with all that that implies. They do it by abusing their authority over your children.

The only ones focusing on homosexuality are Kevin Jennings and the people who share his agenda - they're the ones going on and on about it in the books they peddle and the "educational materials" they push on their victims under the guise of "teaching tolerance".

Here's a clue: "sucking", "fucking", "swallowing", "spitting", "watersports", "rimming", "fisting" and "blowjob" are not synonyms for "tolerance".

As I've said before and will say again at every opportunity, leftists like Kevin Jennings are not just dishonest -- they're despicable liars, and in his case demonstrably committed to perverting children behind the backs of their parents. And people who slavishly propagate the leftist bullshit at Media Madders are their enablers, which makes them despicable liars too and cowards to boot.

Especially when you just know that the parents among them would never knowingly allow Jennings' garbage anywhere near their own children. Not in a million years. Leftists don't teach their own kids the art of fisting; they just teach it to others.

Via Gateway Pundit: speaking of parents, Grassroots Nation has started a petition to fire Kevin Jennings.

Fox News reports that the White House served acorn-shaped cookies at the annual Christmas party.

Good. This ends all the lies about Obama only having a "casual" relationship with what is in reality his favorite criminal enterprise. Here's a photo of a startled Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa posing with the damning evidence:

Symbolic, isn't it? Top left, the seal of the Office of the President; under that, ACORN. And on the right, a conservative who can't believe the gift he has just been handed.

Thank you, Mr. President!

First it was Breitbart and Breitbart TV. Then Big Hollywood followed by Big Government. Now Andrew Breitbart is going straight at the throat of the leftwing Democrat media complex with Big Journalism. Money quote in his exclusive interview with Medaite.com:

We are defenders of the First Amendment and resolute enemies of political correctness. That’s the key to the site’s philosophy.

And that's the key to stopping the leftwing, sometimes even Marxist, occupation of the media in America. Big Journalism will be followed by Big Education, Big Tolerance, Big Jerusalem, and Big Peace, among others, the mission in each case being to attack the leftist monopoly in each realm and destroy it with the hard truth (First targets that come to mind on my personal wish list: unions, the judiciary and environmentalists).

I believe the mood amongst regular folks is ripe for this counterattack on the left's campaign to destroy western society, free-market capitalism and personal freedoms. They used to see this campaign as annoying but essentially harmless -- subject to the ebb and flow of politics in a healthy democratic republic. Now they see it for the all-encompassing disaster it has become, and the dangers it presents to the body politic. And so they see that it is time to declare all-out, merciless WAR on the left.

Andrew Breitbart is doing that very thing: openly declaring war on the left on every front, and regular folks are already lining up to enlist.

Once again Obama's utter lack of class is on display for everyone to see:

A day before President Obama receives his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, the president’s treatment of his Norwegian hosts has become hot news across Scandinavia.
News outlets across the region are calling Obama arrogant for slashing some of the prize winners’ traditional duties from his schedule. “Everybody wants to visit the Peace Center except Obama,” sniped the Norwegian daily Aftenposten, amid reports the president would snub his own exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center. “A bit arrogant—a bit bad,” proclaimed another Aftenposten headline.

“It’s very sad,” said Nobel Peace Center Director Bente Erichsen of the news that Obama would skip the peace center exhibit. Prize winners traditionally open the exhibitions about their work that accompany the Nobel festivities. “I totally understand why the Norwegian public is upset. If I could get a few minutes with the president, I’d say, ‘To walk through the exhibition wouldn’t take long, and I’m sure you would love the show. You have no idea what you are missing.’”

Meanwhile, the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet is reporting that the president has declined an invitation to lunch with King Harald V, an event every prize winner from the Dalai Lama to Al Gore has attended. (The newspaper’s headline: “Obama disses lunch with King Harald.”)

Here's the buzz in the MSM:

A White House official said that it was not necessarily an award that Obama would have given himself.

Here's the buzz on the ground:

Sarah Palin called out Algore and he actually went for it.

Wow.

Sayeth the good Sarah:

The response to my op-ed by global warming alarmists has been interesting. Former Vice President Al Gore has called me a “denier” and informs us that climate change is “a principle in physics. It’s like gravity. It exists.”

Perhaps he’s right. Climate change is like gravity — a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it.

However, he’s wrong in calling me a “denier.” As I noted in my op-ed above and in my original Facebook post on Climategate, I have never denied the existence of climate change. I just don’t think we can primarily blame man’s activities for the earth’s cyclical weather changes.

Former Vice President Gore also claimed today that the scientific community has worked on this issue for 20 years, and therefore it is settled science. Well, the Climategate scandal involves the leading experts in this field, and if Climategate is proof of the larger method used over the past 20 years, then Vice President Gore seriously needs to consider that their findings are flawed, falsified, or inconclusive.

Vice President Gore, the Climategate scandal exists. You might even say that it’s sort of like gravity: you simply can’t deny it.

The Washington Times has written an editorial informing its readers (a fascinating new concept other papers may want to try) of Obama's Child Porn Czar Kevin Jennings. In a warning preamble the Times makes an important observation:

Thus far, out of fear or squeamishness, there has been public hesitance to examine closely the beliefs of this individual because many are afraid even to touch the risky content. Our scruples cannot be used against us when traditional moral precepts need to be defended. Simply, the deep level of depravity involved in this subject cannot be portrayed without providing a couple of examples to illustrate the inappropriate content.

Which they courageously proceed to do:

The Obama administration is stonewalling serious inquiries about sexual filth propagated by a senior presidential appointee who is responsible for promoting and implementing federal education policy. Democrats clearly are terrified of ruffling the feathers of their activist homosexual supporters, who are an influential part of the Democratic party’s base. This scandal, however, is not merely about homosexual behavior; it is about promoting sex between children and adults – and it’s time for President Obama to make clear that abetting such illegal perversion has no place in his administration.

It is curious why White House officials and Education Secretary Arne Duncan believe it’s worth it politically to continue taking arrows for defending Kevin Jennings, who is Mr. Obama’s controversial “safe schools czar.” The evidence suggesting he is unfit to serve as a senior presidential appointee is startling and plentiful. It was revealed this week that Mr. Jennings was involved in promoting a reading list for children 13 years old or older that made the most explicit sex between children and adults seem normal and acceptable. This brought up anew Mr. Jennings’ past controversies, such as his seeming encouragement of sex between one of his high school students and a much older man as well as his praise for Harry Hay, a notorious supporter of the North American Man Boy Love Association.

But there is more. There are shocking new revelations this week of tape recordings from a youth conference involving 14-year-old students. The conference, billed as a forum to encourage tolerance of homosexuality, was sponsored by Mr. Jennings’ organization and was held at Tufts University in March 2000. Mr. Jennings was executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) from its founding in 1995 until August 2008. The conference sessions appear to have had less to do with promoting tolerance and more to do with teaching children how to engage in sex.

Gateway Pundit today: Fistgate III: Obama’s Safe Schools Czar’s “Black Book” For Kids Included Tips on Fisting & Pi$$ing on Your Partner.






Beautiful. The perfect Christmas gift for every idiot's child! And it's free!

First it was news of "fisting kits" being handed out to kids, now this. What's next? According to Gateway Pundit and Big Guv, we'll know soon enough.


Meanwhile, Andrew Brietbart is having fun with The Fount of All Idiot Knowledge.

Last week we posted on the excellent work of the Brothers Sheppard in exposing and explaining the ClimateGate fraud. Now Marc Sheppard has further distilled the issues at American Thinker in his December 6 article titled Understanding ClimateGate's Hidden Decline. The whole thing in clear terms.

Read it and understand the magnitude and implications of the greatest scientific and political scandal of all time.

If he didn't, he wouldn't have hired career child porn merchant Kevin Jennings, founder and former Executive Director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, as his "Safe Schools Czar".

Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft and Scott Baker at Breitbart TV have the dirt, and I do mean dirt, on the man Barack Hussein Obama specifically chose to promote pornography to your children from within the formerly safe confines of the public school system:

Out of curiosity to see exactly what kind of books Kevin Jennings and his organization think American students should be reading in school, our team chose a handful at random from the over 100 titles on GLSEN’s grades 7-12 list, and began reading through.

What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.
We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.

We knew that unless we carefully documented what we were reading, the public would have a hard time accepting it. Mere descriptions on our part could not convey the emotional gut reaction one gets when seeing what Kevin Jennings wants kids to read as school assignments. So we began scanning pages from each of the books, and then made exact transcriptions of the relevant passages on each page.

Are we exaggerating, or misconstruing quotes that could be interpreted a different way? No: Read the passages below and judge for yourself. There’s no wiggle room. The language is explicit, the intent clear.

Naturally, the next question is: when will the old media start asking questions about this latest attack on children by the left?

Imagine having supported Barack Hussein Obama, the Child Porn President.

Content warning.

Breaking: Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Is Promoting Porn in the Classroom– Kevin Jennings and the GLSEN Reading List (Part II)

UPDATE
Jim Hoft's Gateway Pundit blog has come under cyber attack since he published the above damning information about POS Kevin Jennings.

The CBC's Rex Murphy actually talks about ClimateGate a mere week and a half after it blew wide open on the internet, conservative talk radio and Fox. Call it a start:

Andrew C. McCarthy is fuming about the revelation that a top official of the Muslim Brotherhood's American front organization has been brought to Fort Hood to lecture the troops on Islam prior to their deployment to Afghanistan.

Prepare to be infuriated.

It's been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department has brought Louay Safi to Fort Hood as an instructor, and that he has been lecturing on Islam to our troops in Fort Hood who are about to deploy to Afghanistan. Safi is a top official of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and served as research director at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT).

Worse, last evening, Safi was apparently permitted to present a check (evidently on behalf of ISNA) to the families of the victims of last month's Fort Hood massacre. A military source told the blogger Barbarossa at the Jawa Report: "This is nothing short of blood money. This is criminal and the Ft. Hood base commander should be fired right now."

ISNA was identified by the Justice Department at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing conspiracy trial as an unindicted co-conspirator. The defendants at that trial were convicted of funding Hamas to the tune of millions of dollars. This should have come as no surprise. ISNA is the Muslim Brotherhood's umbrella entity for Islamist organizations in the United States. It was established in 1981 to enable Muslims in North America "to adopt Islam as a complete way of life" — i.e., to further the Brotherhood's strategy of establishing enclaves in the West that are governed by sharia. As I detailed in an essay for the April 20 edition of NR, the Brotherhood's rally-cry remains, to this day, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” The Brotherhood's spiritual guide, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who issued a fatwa in 2004 calling for attacks on American forces in Afghanistan, openly declares that Islam will "conquer America" and "conquer Europe."

At the Jawa Report, Barbarossa observes that Nidal Hasan was simply carrying out Safi's Islamist doctrine of attacking the infidel from within:

Safi's extremist ideology was recently mentioned in a report by Rowan Scarborough, "FBI Partners with Jihad Groups":

Safi is a Syrian-born author who advocates Muslim American rights through his directorship of ISNA's Leadership Development Center. He advocates direct talks between Washington and Iran's leaders. He has spoken out against various law enforcement raids on Islamic centers.
In a 2003 publication, "Peace and the Limits of War," Safi wrote, "The war against the apostates [non-believers of Islam] is carried out not to force them to accept Islam, but to enforce the Islamic law and maintain order."

He also wrote, "It is up to the Muslim leadership to assess the situation and weigh the circumstances as well as the capacity of the Muslim community before deciding the appropriate type of jihad. At one stage, Muslims may find that jihad, through persuasion or peaceful resistance, is the best and most effective method to achieve just peace."

Again, this guy is teaching our soldiers on Islam at Ft. Hood as they are set to deploy to Afghanistan. Maj. Hasan was merely following Safi's dictates in consulting with his former imam Anwar al-Aulaqi in assessing the situation and deciding on the appropriate type of jihad. And Hasan could have easily relied on Safi's rulings on Islamic warfare in preparing for his attack. On page 29 of his "Peace and the Limits of War", Safi outlines the Islamic doctrine of a preemptive strike:

The clear-cut case of foreign aggression is a military attack on the Islamic state or its allies. The Muslims, however, are not obliged to wait until the enemies launch their attack, before responding. Rather, the Islamic state can initiate war and carry out a preemptive strike if the Muslim authorities become convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the enemy is mobilizing its forces and is about to carry out an offensive, or if a state of war already exists between the Islamic state and its adversaries."

Can the Islamic justifications behind Maj. Hasan's murderous attack be made more clear? And now Safi goes to the very scene of the crime to check out his ideological handywork at the invitation of military brass. Guys like Louay Safi are the problem, not the solution. Whomever brought him to Ft. Hood should be court martialed and drummed out of the military in shame.

And in an update, Barbarossa describes how the more that comes to light about this madness, the worse it gets:

Once again, Safi's own book outlines the Islamic doctrine of "preemptive strikes" when any enemy of Islam (aka "America") "is mobilizing its forces and is about to carry out an offensive." Hasan consulted with Anwar al-Aulaqi (aka "Islamic authorities") according to Safi's instruction. Is Louay Safi playing both sides of the fence like his old friend, convicted Al-Qaeda bagman Aburahman Alamoudi, who established the DOD's Islamic chaplaincy program?

WTHR also reported that ISNA started a donation drive to assist the families of the Ft Hood massacre. This is much like Al-Qaeda raising money for the victims of 9/11. Could this possibly get any worse? Dare I ask?

I am convinced that this infiltration of the military by enemy Islamist elements during the Obama administration will continue at least until another devastating attack occurs on American soil. Unfortunately, since the Fort Hood massacre has done absolutely nothing to stop this madness from continuing right under the noses of a military leadership entirely cowed by political correctness, no-one can predict how bad the next attack might be.

And with stories such as this and this, it seems there is quite a lot of new activity aimed at testing America's military, government and civilian defenses.

Stop talking commie shit and higher taxes and get the hell out of the private sector.

Stop everything you've been doing since you first turned up the thermostat in the Oval Office and get out of the way.

You're welcome.

This is extraordinary:

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday lashed out at President Obama for claiming the Bush administration rebuffed commanders' repeated requests for more troops in Afghanistan.

In a rare break in his public silence since leaving the Pentagon, Rumsfeld rejected the claim as a "bald misstatement" and "disservice" that cannot go unanswered.

"Such a bald misstatement, at least as it pertains to the period I served as secretary of defense, deserves a response," Rumsfeld said in a written statement. "I am not aware of a single request of that nature between 2001 and 2006."

The president leveled the charge in his speech Tuesday night outlining his plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops into Afghanistan.

Remember back when a hip young prez upchucked on his bib accusing the Cambridge Police of "acting stupidly"? It was, in Obama's words, a teachable moment that taught us Obama is a weasel.

This is worse. Much, much worse. This is the President of the United States defaming his predecessor and that man's Secretary of Defense, and Donald Rumsfeld should take this narcissistic child to the f'ing woodshed in front of the entire nation.

MSNBC has polluted the embed file with a Rachel Madcow clip (I just came up with that myself, although countless millions more have also; it's called the truth behind the joke.), so try this triple-C rated adults-only site.

The Telegraph's James Delingpole has been all over the global warming scam from day one. Today he brings us up to date in Climategate: it's all unravelling now. Here's a quick rundown:

1. Australia’s Senate rejects Emissions Trading Scheme for a second time. Or: so turkeys don’t vote Christmas.
2. Danes caught fiddling their carbon credits.
3. Hats off to The Daily Express – the first British newspaper to make the AGW scam its front page story.
4. BBC finally gets round to reporting – sort of – that Climatic Research Unit at University of East Anglia may have been up to no good.
5. Legal actions ahoy! Over the next few weeks, one thing we can be absolutely certain of is concerted efforts by the rich, powerful and influential AGW lobby to squash the Climategate story... Lord Monckton has written an indispensible summary of the Climategate revelations so far.
6. Watch out Green Dave! The Independent reports on the growing backlash within the party to Cameron’s libtard-wooing greenery.

Schieffer's money quote:

I just don't understand the logic.

You're not alone, Bob.

How long, oh Lord, how long?

1. I am committing another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan because the security of America and the world is at stake there;
2. I will begin pulling them out as soon as they all get there.

Bonus Points:
1. Me Good, Bush Bad - rinse and repeat until the cows come home;
2. Trillion dollar deficits every year from here to eternity? No problem; Funding for the troops in Afghanistan? We have to be verrry careful with the purse strings.

The Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan now have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Just ask Iran.

Doctor Zero at Hot Air:

Global warming is a scam, pure and simple. By any objective measure, it’s the crime of the century, with a dollar value that dwarfs the sins of Bernie Madoff or Enron. People like Al Gore have become millionaires by selling books and “carbon credits” to their marks… many of whom knew perfectly well they were being taken for a ride, but felt political pressure to play along, or saw opportunities created by the exercise of raw government power. The economic damage from legislation passed in response to this hoax will run into trillions of dollars, if Barack Obama’s disastrous cap-and-trade legislation passes the Senate.

An objective media would respond to this blockbuster news story with front-page headlines and “special report” television treatment. By now, the authors of the incriminating Climate Research Unit emails would be infamous around the world. Top operators of the global warming racket, such as Al Gore, would be hiding in their mansions, afraid to face the mob of angry reporters gathered outside. Liberals love to accuse big corporations of manufacturing crises and taking advantage of consumers with false product information and deceptive advertising. Here is the paramount example of those offenses, on a scale that would widen the eyes of the greatest titans of industry. If a private corporation had conducted a scam as vast, and as destructive to the prosperity of nations – and the aspirations of the working poor…

… but no private corporation could do anything like this, could they? The global warming scam is the kind of crime that only Big Government can mastermind.

Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard points to his brother Marc's work in examining the ClimateGate scandal over at American Thinker. The devastating wrap-up:

Clamoring alarmists can and will spin this until they're dizzy. The ever-clueless mainstream media can and will ignore this until it's forced upon them as front-page news, and then most will join the alarmists on the denial merry-go-round.

But here's what's undeniable: If a divergence exists between measured temperatures and those derived from dendrochronological data after (circa) 1960 then discarding only the post-1960 figures is disingenuous to say the least. The very existence of a divergence betrays a potential serious flaw in the process by which temperatures are reconstructed from tree-ring density. If it's bogus beyond a set threshold, then any honest men of science would instinctively question its integrity prior to that boundary. And only the lowliest would apply a hack in order to produce a desired result.

And to do so without declaring as such in a footnote on every chart in every report in every study in every book in every classroom on every website that such a corrupt process is relied upon is not just a crime against science, it's a crime against mankind.

Indeed, miners of the CRU folder have unearthed dozens of email threads and supporting documents revealing much to loathe about this cadre of hucksters and their vile intentions. This veritable goldmine has given us tales ranging from evidence destruction to spitting on the Freedom of Information Act on both sides of the Atlantic. But the now irrefutable evidence that alarmists have indeed been cooking the data for at least a decade may just be the most important strike in human history.

Comments Newsbusters' Sheppard:

If a software designer, consultant, and business owner in his spare time can uncover this, why can't America's leading science periodicals or key "journalists" in this debate?

Is investigative journalism truly dead in this country, or is it only employed to uncover truths that either buttress the media's view of the world or undermine those that don't?

Consider that in the past two years, we have witnessed the press:

- Ignore important facts about a presidential candidate in order to get him elected
- Ignore or gloss over important facts about a President's appointees to get them approved by Congress
- Ignore important facts about a President's "czars"
- Ignore important facts about a major "community organizing" group

In the case of the latter two issues, conservative bloggers, talk show hosts, and Fox News were alone in coverage until the mainstream media eventually came aboard kicking and screaming.

Now, revelations about some of the country's leading climate scientists and activists -- who have ties to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as the ear of the White House and leading members of Congress -- are going largely ignored or soft-soaped.

In the meantime, the media is all over the Tiger Woods story. Chrissakes.
