Khamenei Not Seen In Public In Weeks

(Has anyone checked hell yet?  I'm told that's where the last Clown went)

Via Al Arabiya:

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been out of public sight for three weeks amid speculations of his declining health leaving the country worried about a power vacuum.

Quoting Iranian sources, UK newspaper The Times reported on Thursday that "Ayatollah Khamenei collapsed recently during a private meeting and since then has been convalescing or receiving treatment."

He last appeared to the public in Tehran on Oct. 5, The Times reported.

Khamenei came to power in 1989 following the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, who assumed power in the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Concerns about Khamenei's health grew when he failed to send customary farewells to Iranian pilgrims traveling for hajj two weeks ago, according to reports.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Outraged By Suggestion Obama "Lied"
When He Told Americans They Could Keep Their Health Plans

(Even fellow far-left tool Bill Maher thinks she and Obama are both full of sh!t)

Via Politico:
Liberal comedian Bill Maher pressed Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Friday night about whether President Barack Obama had lied about people being able to keep their coverage under Obamacare, telling her the president had lost credibility.

"Obama had a great, I would say, almost sterling reputation for honesty...but I just think that credibility to a certain extent, that ship has sailed," Maher said on his HBO program "Real Time with Bill Maher."

Wasserman Schultz dismissed claims that Obama misled Americans.

"It was not a lie, let's just be very clear. So let me knock that down right away," Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said. "When the president and myself and every other Democrat that talked about that if you like your health care, you can keep it, that was referring to the overwhelming majority of Americans who had health care."

Maher, who criticized the president earlier this week for lying, pushed back and argued that plans — albeit "crappy"— were being canceled under the new law.

"C'mon, let's be honest. Obamacare says, basically, if you have a really crappy plan, you can't keep it. That's the truth," Maher said. "But some people want crap, what can I say? And because of Obamcare, they are not being able to keep it. To me, that is a lie."

Wasserman Schultz acknowledged "there was a minimum floor of benefits" so that Americans aren't "all paying, at the end of the day, for everybody else's health care."

She called the debate over whether Obama lied as "arguing over minutiae," a point Maher pounced on.

"To a lot of Americans, it's not minutiae and I think they're insulted when [they] hear [you] say that because they think it's something important when the president doesn't square up with them," Maher said.

West Point Hosts First Wedding ...For Two Guys

(Benedict Arnold said to be thrilled)

Via Miami Herald:

Two West Point graduates were married Saturday in the military academy's first wedding between two men.

Larry Choate III, class of 2009, married Daniel Lennox, class of 2007, before about 20 guests.

Choate, 27, taught Sunday school at the U.S. Military Academy's Cadet Chapel and said he always thought of it as the place he would get married if he could.

In  Other  Words,  She's  a  Freaking  Commie  Bi*ch

WHEN IT COMES TO THE POSSIBLE GOP presidential candidate three years hence, the names we hear most often are Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie and sometimes, Jeb Bush.  For some reason, possibly because he was part of a losing ticket in 2012, you don't hear much about Paul Ryan.  What I fear most is that whoever emerges victorious from the bloodbath known as Republican primaries will resemble the survivor of a train wreck after all the other contenders have had at him with brickbats, blackjacks and broken beer bottles.

In the meantime, unless some catastrophic medical issue, such as a burst appendix, an inflamed ego, or a hostile case of PMS sidelines her, the other side will try to finish off Obuma's eight year attempt to radically transform America by lumbering us with eight years of Hillary Clinton.  Although, based on her own words ("I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers.  We are the president.")  I don't think she has the constitutional right to serve a third term, but, apparently, in light of Obuma's election and re-election, the Constitution no longer applies when it comes to Democratic candidates.

In light of the fact that Mrs. Clinton stands an even better chance of being the candidate in 2016 than she had in 2008, it bears being reminded of who it really is that lurks behind the endless array of pantsuits, frozen smiles and dirty words.

To me, she has always resembled a Gorgon.

Those were the three sisters, Medusa, Stheno and Euryale, in Greek mythology who had snakes for hair, and if you looked into their eyes, you were turned to stone.  And never has she been more Gorgon-like than when she appeared before the congressional committee earlier this year and, referencing the murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens and his three courageous associates, attempted to display moral outrage by growling: "At this late date, what difference does it really make who killed them?"

But that was merely the latest of her unfortunate, but revealing, remarks.  She also said: "It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or had their spines broken, simply because they are born girls."  How odd that in attacking China's despicable birth policy, she was unaware that by extension she was attacking Planned Parenthood's anti-birth policy.

Other reminders that she was an acolyte of Saul Alinsky can be found in the following Clintonisms:
**"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

**"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."

**"We can't just let business go on as usual, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

**"We have to build a political consensus, and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own in order to create this common ground."

**"I certainly think the free market has failed."

But the arrogant disregard for the values that shaped America did not begin or end with her husband's election in 1992.  As a 27-year-old, Hillary Rodham was fired from the Watergate investigation by Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat who supervised her work with the House Judiciary Committee.  When asked why he gave her the boot, Zeifman said: "Because she's a liar. She's an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality."

In addition, Pantsuit's wrote a brief "that was so fraudulent and ridiculous," Zeifman was convinced she would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge. Imagine, Chelsea could have wound up with two disbarred lawyers sharing her Thanksgiving turkey.

It probably comes as no big surprise that a few years earlier, young Hillary Rodham decided to spend a summer interning for the Oakland law firm known as Treuhaft, Walker & Bernstein, even though its offices were 2,500 miles from Yale.  Do you think the attraction might have been the fact that two of the partners were or had been members of the Communist Party, and the client rolls included a number of their fellow party members, along with draft resisters and, naturally, this being Oakland in the 70s, the Black Panther Party?

One can only assume there hadn't been an opening that summer at Hillary's first choice: The law firm of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe...

What's wrong with this picture:

http://www.flwright.us/FLW095.htm

The fact that its the Center for Inner City Studies says it all.  Known for many fine community organizers, homeboys and rabble for the SEIU.  Strange that MSNBC hasn't noticed, but reading any TRUTH is problematic at such an august institution.  I think we all know that the liberals have been trying for decades to co-opt the legacy of Lincoln.  That's why they push the "Republicans are a bunch of racists" narrative so hard.  Of course, that narrative is a little difficult to sell considering the fact that the guy who signed the Emancipation Proclamation was a Republican.  The only way to do it is to literally rewrite history.  So this plaque is shocking, but not surprising.  I wouldn't doubt that there are actual textbooks that depict Lincoln as a Democrat!  We just need to keep pushing back!

Here is Barack Obama's opinion of the Constitution:

"The Constitution] reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day... I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws in American culture, the Colonial culture nascent at that time." - B. Obuma-Chicago public radio interview, September 2001

And here is Abraham Lincoln's reply to Barack Obuma:

"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by 'our fathers who framed the Government under which we live;' while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new." - Lincoln's speech at Cooper Union in New York City, on February 27, 1860

..... it's a dangerous thing when President Obama goes off teleprompter:

Obuma: "We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.

Not exactly, Mr. President.  As Ed points out, Abe wasn't even the first presidential nominee in Republican party history – that honor went to John Fremont, who lost the 1856 presidential election to Buchanan.  Moreover, not only was Lincoln not a founder of the party, he was one of the last individuals to desert the rotting corpse of the Whig party.  When just about most Whigs, north and south, had abandoned the party in droves, Lincoln tenaciously clung to the Whig designation until he eventually bowed to political realities.  Lincoln joined the Republicans in large part due to his distaste of the nativism of other emerging major party: the Know Nothings.  Lincoln abhorred their anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic platform and so decided that the Republicans were the most palatable of the "anti-Nebraska" (those opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska act and the extension of slavery) parties emerging in the United States.

Lincoln's letter to Joshua Speed, dated August 24, 1855, explains his reluctance to leave the Whigs and to adopt the Republican moniker.  It's a very important letter in that it also demonstrates Lincoln's revulsion towards slavery.  It's an impassioned critique of the Douglas Democrats and of those that claimed to not care about the course of slavery. 

For purposes of Lincoln's political designation, here is the key passage:
"You inquire where I now stand. That is a disputed point — I think I am a whig; but others say there are no whigs, and that I am an abolitionist. When I was in Washington I voted for the Wilmot Proviso as good as forty times, and I never heard of any one attempting to unwhig me for that. I now do no more than oppose the extension of slavery.

I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy" [sic].

This was written well into 1855, so even at this point Lincoln still considered himself a Whig.  It would a while longer before he fully adopted the Republican label.  Whatever can be said of Lincoln, founder of the Republican party is not one of them.

That's not to say, of course, that Lincoln is not representative of the original GOP.  It's often been suggested that Lincoln would not fit into today's GOP, but that is an erroneous assumption.  But that is a discussion for another time... Warph

Obama's new climate council to regulate economy

President Barack Obama has given the nation a new "Council on Climate Preparedness and Resilience" that expands government bureaucrats' role in how Americans use their lands, energy, waters and property.  Obama announced the executive order Friday, the day after Halloween.  The order is titled "Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change."
The new order was issued even though recent scientific data have contradicted claims that use of carbon energy — such as gasoline — will drive up the world's temperature and induce damaging climate change. Average temperatures have leveled for more than a decade, despite the sharply rising use of carbon energy in China and other countries.
U.S. use of carbon energy has stabilized with increasing market-driven efficiency and tightening regulations.
The council is officially intended "to prepare the Nation for the impacts of climate change by undertaking actions to enhance climate preparedness and resilience."
The order bypasses Congress, and is directly implemented by Obama's deputies and appointees in the federal bureaucracies.
It allows agencies to use the promise of environmental disaster to force changes on Americans' use of energy and land, and to increase taxpayer spending on expanding the fledgling renewable energy sector.

Agenders,

Organizing For America is setting up paid training programs for Obama minions to support this new council. Below is an invitation to their training camp. You might want to see if there are OFA training camps set up in your area. OFA is heavily funded by Soros and Soros is heavily funding this climate change council. You can believe he will be pouring millions into taking away our property rights.

http://www.democraticgain.org/events/event_details.asp?id=367765

I cannot tell you how critical it is for us to be prepared to go into action. As I stated a couple of days ago with this new EO you are going to see Agenda 21 move forward at lightning speed. I have included the information about Organizing For America (George Soros funded) and also a copy of the EO.

Please share with everyone you know and do whatever you can to get Agenda 21 legislation passed in your state. Share this information with your state legislators. Work with your City Council and County Commissioner. STAY AWAY FROM FEDERAL GRANT MONEY. Talk with your Sheriff. Is he/she willing to stand up to the EPA should they start claiming land because of water that may be on that land. This President is dead serious. He owns our healthcare, he owns our children's education now he wants control of our water, private property and food.

I found this link to be a great source of further information about the EO.

You know, I have always thought that one of the worst slimy demo-rats to walk this earth was Rahm Emanuel.  I was wrong.  His brother, Dr.Ezekiel Emanuel, tops him.  Considered one of the Architects of Obumacare, this is one of the creepist individuals G-d has put on this Earth.  His looks reminds me of Creepy Sebelius with short hair.  The best thing that can happen to turn public opinion solidly against Obumacare is to keep putting this guy out there as the face of it.  He absolutely personifies all that is associated with the 'we-know-better-than-you' arrogance:
This is the weirdo in action with Chris Wallace:

He hides his construction of socialized death health panels by asserting he is against euthanasia.   However, this is belied by the fact, in his own admissions, he is a noted advocate for the withdrawal of medical treatment for the "elderly" or those "beyond help".

UNREAL: Virginia DemoRats Use Robo-Calls To Claim
GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Ken Cuccinelli
Supports Obamacare, Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Ken Cuccinelli

(Doesn't get any scummier than this.  Mark Levin's bunker is in VA, so he's kept his audience well aware of this campaign.  Terry McAuliffe & his cohorts (Clinton INC.) are so despicable that it's almost beyond belief.  Levin tore into McAuliffe tonight AND the establishment Repub's who are NOT supporting Cuccinelli.  The establishment would rather have a low life, baby killing, Clintonista with absolutely no shame than a good, decent, G-d-fearing family man like Cuccinelli.  AND Cuccinelli was the 1st one to start the ball rolling against ObumaCare.)  

Via Washington Free Beacon:
http://freebeacon.com/democratic-robo-calls-claim-cuccinelli-supports-obamacare-abortion/

Virginia Demo(R)ats are allegedly misrepresenting the positions held by Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in an attempt to depress conservative turnout and using peer pressure to boost voter turnout among Democratic constituencies in the final days of that state's gubernatorial race.

Del. Scott Lingamfelter, a Republican, said he received a robo-call on Sunday evening claiming that Cuccinelli supports the Affordable Care Act and taxpayer financing for abortions.

Cuccinelli vehemently opposes Obamacare, as the law is commonly known. He was the first state attorney general to challenge the law in court. He is also strongly opposed to abortion.

The recording said the Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA) paid for it, Lingamfelter wrote in a post on his Facebook page.
