FAR WORSE THAN WATERGATE |

More scandals swirl about Barack Hussein Obama
than any president before him. Each one
seems worse than Watergate. Taken
together, they dwarf the scandal that caused Richard Nixon to resign the
presidency.
*After receiving a $535 million guaranteed loan
from the Obama administration, Solyndra, a manufacturer of solar panels, filed
for bankruptcy this month. In apparent violation of federal law, private
investors were given
priority over taxpayers for claims on Solyndra's assets.
Solyndra is owned by Tulsa billionaire George
Kaiser, a major fund-raiser for Mr. Obama. He and Solyndra executives
made 20
visits to the White House before the loan was made.
While Solyndra wasn't actually lethal to anyone, LightSquared could get people killed, and
Gunwalker already has.

THE DEMOCRAT’S ARMAGEDDON COULD BE IN PENNSYLVANIA |

After GOP victories in special elections for the
U.S. House in New York and Nevada, liberals were on the verge of
panic. Then Dominic Pileggi really freaked them out.
On the very day of these victories (9/13), Mr. Pileggi,
the majority leader of the Pennsylvania senate, announced he'll introduce a
bill to allocate Pennsylvania's electoral votes by congressional
district. The winner statewide would get the two electoral votes for the
state's U.S. senators. (The GOP gained
majorities in both the state senate and state house, plus the governorship in
2010.)
Mr. Obama carried Pennsylvania by 10.31 percent
points in 2008, garnering all 21 electoral votes. If the Pileggi proposal
had been in force, he'd have gotten only 11.
"In a close national race, an obnoxious scheme
like this can alter the entire presidential election, all because Republicans
are afraid to fight on a level playing field," wrote liberal Steve
Benen in the Washington Monthly. "It's just a cynical ploy to arbitrarily favor the
Republican party," wrote liberal Kevin
Drum in Mother Jones. Yes, they are freaking out.

THE UN DIPLOMACY THAT MAY LEAD TO WAR |

Written by Frank Gaffney

Tuesday, 20 September 2011 |
In her Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "The Guns of August," Barbara
Tuchman chronicles how a cascading series of seemingly minor developments led
inexorably to World War I and the worst carnage known to man up to that time.
In the future, historians may point to the present "Diplomacy of September"
as the catalyst for the next horrific conflict now in the offing in the Middle
East, and potentially beyond.
Specifically, this means three agenda items slated to take place in the
United Nations or on the margins of its meetings in coming days. Combined, their synergy could lead to a horrific war.

HOW THE IRS DOESN’T OBEY THE 16TH AMENDMENT |
|
|
|
Written by Richard Rahn
|
|
Tuesday, 20 September 2011 |
The stealth wealth tax may be the
single-largest tax ever imposed on the American people, yet virtually no one
knows about it. What is particularly unconscionable about this tax is that it
has been imposed upon the most responsible citizens and the elderly in a most
disproportionate way, and the real tax rate on American savers has soared to
record levels.
Inflation is a non-legislated wealth tax. If you had kept a $100 bill a year
ago, today you would be able to buy just $96.20 worth of goods and services,
given the current 3.8 percent inflation rate. The Fed, by its failure to
preserve the value of the currency as it is charged to do, has imposed a
stealth wealth tax on you.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has made it worse by imposing a tax on
nominal savings income, not just on inflation-adjusted income.
The 16th Amendment to the Constitution gave the federal government the right
to impose a tax on "incomes." A change in the price level caused by
inflation is not income by any
economic or sensible definition of the word.

THE TRUE HISTORY OF LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES |
|
|
|
Written by To The Point News
|
|
Friday, 23 September 2011 |
The division of the human family into its two distinct
branches occurred some 10,000 years ago, when humans coexisted as members of
small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
In the pivotal event of societal evolution, beer was invented. This epochal
innovation was both the foundation of modern civilization and the occasion of
the great bifurcation of humanity into its two distinct subgroups: Liberals and
Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the beginning of
agriculture. Neither the glass bottle or aluminum can had yet been invented, so
it was necessary to stick pretty close to the brewery. That's how villages were
formed.
Some men spent their days killing animals to barbecue at night while they were
drinking beer. This was the beginning of the conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned how to live off
conservatives by showing up for the BBQs every night and doing women's work
like sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the liberal
movement. Later, some of the liberals actually became women.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/16/11 |

Little doubt
who the HFR Hero of the Week is, right?
No one else but a 70 year-old retired cable guy from Queens named Bob
Turner.
Let's put
his victory on Tuesday (9/13) into real historical perspective. It's not just that New York's 9th Congressional
District has been held by the Dems since the election of 1922. It's that Dems have held it for all but nine
years since 1857[1]. So Turner's win is about as historic as
congressional turnovers get.
The effects
are immediate, in no way confined to being a Dem panic signal for 2012.
First, NY9
drives a stake through the heart of Zero's "Jobs Bill" (what Jack Kelly calls
Son of Porkulus). It is now officially
DOA.
Second, Zero
is now forced to take specific pro-Israel actions at a critically dangerous
time for Israel.
He will now
order his hate-Israel UN Ambassador, Susan Rice, to veto the upcoming Security
Council vote on granting full statehood for the Palestinian Arabs. He's got to flip the bird to the Saudis
and their impossibly arrogant (then again, when aren't they?) threat that the
veto would end the "special relationship" between them and the US. Well, hallelujah.

THE SARACEN TOWER |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Thursday, 15 September 2011 |
The Amalfi Coast on the Sorrentine Peninsula south of Naples, Italy, is considered to be the most beautiful coastline in the world (click on Read More for pictures). It is riddled with crumbling stone buildings known as "Saracen Towers."
They were built over a thousand years ago to protect the region from invasions and attacks from "Saracens" - the term Medieval Europe used for Moslems, from the ancient Greek Sarakenoi, the nomad bandit tribes of Arabia. In the centuries before the invention of Islam when all of the Middle East was predominantly Christian, the Sarakenoi developed a fearsome reputation for their raids on monasteries and murdering monks.
This became vastly worse when they acquired a religious rationale for their banditry. They called their new religion Islam, the Arabic word for "submission," claiming it meant submission to their deity Allah - but what it really meant was "unbelievers" submitting to them. And what that meant was they had a religious right to enslave Christians.
Last Sunday, we commemorated the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 Moslem attack on America. The 19 terrorists, most with Saudi visas, murdered 2,977 innocent people in a more grotesque way than any horror movie. It was an unforgivable act of unmitigated evil that traumatized us all.
We continue to deal with the trauma today - and what may help is to place it in a historical context. The examples of Islamic barbarity history provides are legion - so let's focus on that of the Saracen towers.

CRONY CAPITALISM WILL DESTROY US IF WE DON’T ROOT IT OUT |

Written by Sarah Palin

Thursday, 15 September 2011 |
In my recent
speech in Iowa, some eyebrows were raised when I took on our government's
enormous economic problems caused by crony capitalism. As if on cue, just
days later President Obama selected someone who exemplifies a major crony
capitalism problem to sit next to the First Lady when he delivered his "jobs
plan" speech before Congress. He selected General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt
as his honored guest.
Having grown up with great respect for GE thanks to stories my grandfather
shared with us about his days working for the company and even meeting GE
spokesman-at-the-time Ronald Reagan during a company event, I am saddened at
GE's leadership evolution. This corporation is now the poster child of
corporate welfare and crony capitalism.
Joining GE in the pantheon on crony capitalism is another Obama favorite
that has been in the news of late: Solyndra.

CONSERVATIVES NEED TO STOP BEING AFRAID OF THE MOSLEM BOGEYMAN |
|
|
|
Written by Ralph Peters

Wednesday, 14 September 2011 |
Why have conservatives become such
captives of fear? Before 9/11, conservatism stood for stalwart courage and
confidence in the United States of America. Across the past decade,
however, we succumbed to a weird mania that wildly exaggerates threats and
revels in our purported strategic vulnerability to furtive religious perverts
sinking along with their doomed civilization.
The enthusiasm with which many of my
fellow conservatives paint militant Islam as a mighty movement capable of a
takeover of Europe and America is a grotesque wallow in political
masochism.
Islam is on the ropes of history, battered, bleeding and
disfigured. And it's never going to be a contender again. Yet, many
Americans appear determined to cower in our corner of the ring. It's
baffling: We're winning in every possible respect, but tell ourselves
we're losing.

WILL DEMOCRATS BECOME BIRTHERS? |

Written by Jack Kelly

Friday, 16 September 2011 |
Hollywood moguls know enough not to make a sequel
of a flop. Not so President Barack Hussein Obama, who unveiled Son of
Porkulus before a Joint Session of Congress Sept. 8.
When Porkulus I (aka the stimulus bill) debuted in
January, 2009, Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser said it would keep the
unemployment rate below 8 percent. Unemployment -- 7.6% when Mr. Obama
took office -- is 9.1% now. The Congressional Budget Office thinks it will
stay close to 9%
through 2012.
Porkulus I consisted chiefly of giving gobs of
taxpayer money to the president's political allies. All that did was to add
massively to our national debt. Son of Porkulus is more of the same. Which brings up a very interesting dilemma for Democrats -- and a very interesting question.

IT’S THE WARMISTS WHO DISRESPECT SCIENCE |

You may have heard of Bill McKibben. When I
googled "McKibben," I got more than 7 million hits.
Mr. McKibben is "probably the nation's leading
environmentalist," Boston Globe reporter Anis
Shivani wrote last year. So when Bill McKibben wrote
that Hurricane Irene "has a middle name, and it's Global Warming," his article
drew a lot of attention from journalists.
Warming increases the number and violence of
hurricanes and tornadoes, Mr. McKibben wrote in the Daily
Beast (owner of Newsweek) the day before the storm struck the Eastern
seaboard.
This is hooey. Worldwide, accumulated
cyclone activity (what we call hurricanes scientists call tropical cyclones) is
near historic lows, Florida State University climatologist Ryan Maue said in August. It is turning out that all the "science" of warmists is also hooey.

HOW DANGEROUS IS A PRESIDENT WHO IS DEVOID OF REALITY? |
|

Written by Richard Rahn

Tuesday, 13 September 2011 |
President Obama's speech this past week (9/08)should have
been labeled, "Believe what I say, not what I do." All too much of the speech
was devoid of reality.
At one point he said, "And I agree there are some rules
and regulations that put an unnecessary burden on businesses at a time when
they can least afford it. That's why I ordered a review of all government
regulations. So far, we've identified over 500 reforms, which will save
billions of dollars over the next few years."
The reality is far different. There are thousands of new
regulations that have either been implemented or are under consideration that
have not been subject to meaningful or rigorous cost-benefit analyses. The reality is that millions of Americans are without jobs solely because of
the president's regulatory incompetence or worse.

HIDDEN STRENGTHS |

Thursday, 15 September 2011 |
Today I want to elaborate a bit on last week's column, Dealing With It.
It's natural and understandable when we are faced with
psychological or emotional problems, to see them as purely negative; as things
to be gotten rid of. But there's more to it than that.
Nobody who is depressed wants to be depressed. Nobody who
feels anxiety wants to feel anxiety. Nobody who has impulse control problems;
or obsessive/compulsive urges, or overwhelming emotions, or post-traumatic
stress disorder wants to have to deal with the symptoms, the anguish, the
embarrassment, or the pain of these issues.
But we must. The simple fact of life is that if we are faced
with such troubles, we have to deal with them. No less than we have to deal
with any physical ailments, or financial struggles, or relationship issues. Not that you would ever wish for such
troubles, but given that they are there, it's important to know that you can
make something better from them.

Well, it took folks like Fred
Barnes and Charles
Krauthammer a while, but they've got it.
President Zero is now our
current POTUS's official nickname.
Google the term today (9/09) and you'll get 400,000 hits (earlier this
week it was 80,000 - it'll be fun to see that number increase). The New
York Times can't stand it.
TTP, as you know, originated the appellation in
June, 2008, in O=Zero
- which went so viral that Snopes had to
verify it was written by me. We've been
selling O=Zero
T-shirts ever since.
I was in Dunhuang, China on election day, November
4, 2008, whereupon I wrote The End of the Silk
Road and forswore using the name of "the Marxist Hate-America Gangster who
was just elected by a majority of American voters to lead them to their doom."
