• It’s Official: This Surfer Caught the Largest Wave Ever Ridden

  Astounding. Who thought to put a camera on his board?

• Part One: The Fiction and Non-Fiction of Obama

  May 13, 2012 at 7:32pm

  A small discrepancy: D’Souza claims that Obama Sr married three times (including Duncan) without ever divorcing any of his other wives, yet this article asserts that Obama and Duncan divorced. Somebody needs to check some facts.

  Also, it is to say the least highly doubtful that OWS derived any inspiration from Days of Rage, which was a 1968 demonstration against a Democratic Party convention in Chicago. OWS has never been even remotely that political notwithstanding the efforts of various leftists to pour their visions into it.

  I have been opposed to Obama since his 2004 speech at the DNC, and despise OWS. Nonetheless, let’s keep facts and inferences straight.

• N.C. Democratic Gov. Bemoans Same-Sex Marriage Ban: ‘We Look Like Mississippi’

  Isn’t this the same one who thought it might be a good idea to suspend elections in 2012? Now we have a better idea as to why.

• Book: Obama Team Tried to Pay Rev. Wright $150K to Keep Quiet Until After 2008 Election

  @DB321: “What are we talking about here – Obama has done nothing compared to Romney bulling a Closet Gay youth in High School with Beach Blond Hair. He and his buddies held him down and cut his hairs with scissors. The youth was so traumatized that he die at 50 riddled with Canser as a result of his inhumane treatment from the the 60′s Worst Bully the World has known.

  OK, time for you to grow up and pay attention. The WaPo article was false; there is no actual evidence that this happened, no evidence Lauber was gay, no evidence anyone thought he was gay (this was in the 60s, and long hair meant “hippie rebel”), no evidence that “the incident” haunted him his entire life, and certainly no evidence that his final illness was somehow related to this “incident”, assuming of course that the “incident” ever happened.

  And finally, “the Worst Bully the World has known”? Aside from your issues with written English, can you possibly be serious? You have lived a sheltered life indeed if you think for a moment that is true; in my elementary school we had a kid who went after kids he didn’t like with the buckle end of a belt. Nothing described in the WaPo fairy tale even comes close, even assuming anything in the WaPo story is remotely true, which is is not.

  It‘s just confirmation of Mark Twain’s old comment that a lie travels around the world 1,000 times before the truth can put on its pants.

• Woman Gives Planned Parenthood iPods So TX Women Can Avoid Hearing Fetal Heartbeats Before Abortions

  May 5, 2012 at 5:52pm

  It’s simple: Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill. They promote abortion based in part on the claim that what is inside the women is not a human being but a mass of undifferentiated cells. They know it would take a lot for a woman to go forward with an abortion once the woman hears the heartbeat, because unlike the cold calculations of Planned Parenthood real people cannot easily destroy life. I think the woman should know what she is doing, and if her own convenience is still more important to her than that fetal life, she can live with that decision the rest of her life.

• Why Is a Hangin’ Truck Driving Around NYC With President Obama On a Noose?

  May 5, 2012 at 5:47pm

  Is it freedom of speech? Yes. The Supreme Court has said so more than once.

  Is it tasteful? No. Is it where I would like the level of our political discourse to be? No. Do I think it worth paying attention to? No. Let the beat go on.

• Obama Gives Himself a Shout Out While Addressing Troops: ‘We’ve Got Me In the House’

  May 3, 2012 at 2:21am

  “And you got me in the house!”
  “C’mon, you can clap, it’s OK!”
  “But enough about me. Do you love me?”

  Jeez. I have a HS emo-girl daughter with more emotional maturity in the bank than this Urkel, this petulant man-child. News flash to the Big O: The White House is not where you work out your self-esteem issues or your burgeoning mid-life crisis.

• ‘One of the Most Despicable Things You Can Do’: What Made Arianna Huffington Take Romney’s Side Over Obama?

  May 1, 2012 at 2:17am

  In reply to megarobryder.

  As I note elsewhere in this thread, Panetta produced a memo for the CIA in which Admiral McRaven is identified as the man behind the planning and calling the signals, not Obama. All this has been for the resident president is one extended photo op.

• ‘One of the Most Despicable Things You Can Do’: What Made Arianna Huffington Take Romney’s Side Over Obama?

  May 1, 2012 at 2:15am

  And now we know that the SEAL Teams are making it clear that from their POV the decision was a “no-brainer”. And more, the NYT has released a memo from Panetta identifying Admiral McRaven as the signal-caller, not Obama. So Obama is taking all the credit for a call that was not all that difficult, and that he did not even make himself. And that’s the best thing he can point to in three years in office.

• Anti-Bullying Crusader Attacks the Bible and Curses Christian Teens During High School Speech

  Sigh. Doesn’t anyone get it? A leftist cannot be a bully any more than a black person can be racist. The streets always only run one way.
