I would say this is unbelievable, but is it really? Why can’t people see what’s going on? It’s so obvious.
Via National Review:
Bernardine Dohrn has a history with the Justice Department. More specifically, in the early 1970s, she was one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives because of her actions with the Weather Underground, a violent radical organization.
Times have changed. In 2010 and 2011, the Justice Department saw fit to give $400,000 in grants to an organization that lists Dohrn as a member of its board of directors: a $150,000 grant in September of 2010 and a $250,000 grant a year later.

I want you to do your own homework too. Look at the groups getting grants, subsidies and other money from this administration.

Obama: I Can Do Every Job Better Than Those I Hire to Do It – By Jim Geraghty – The Campaign Spot – National Review Online
Wow, we obviously didn’t know he was the smartest man ever! Does the word narcissist come to anyone else’s mind? Check out what it says at the National Review Online:
It appears one of the great challenges that President Obama has had to overcome in office is that no one around him is as good at his job as he is.
From Jodi Kantor’s The Obamas, page 66:
Obama had always had a high estimation of his ability to cast and run his operation. When David Plouffe, his campaign manager, first interviewed for a job with him in 2006, the senator gave him a warning: “I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people I’ll hire to do it,” he said. “It’s hard to give up control when that’s all I’ve known.” Obama said nearly the same thing to Patrick Gaspard, whom he hired to be the campaign’s political director. “I think I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Obama told him. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”
This is not some long-ago sentiment, or momentary lapse into egoism. Michelle Obama declared at a Democrat party fundraiser in California last June:
“He reads every word, every memo, so he is better prepared than the people briefing him,” she said. “This man doesn’t take a day off.”

Is Paul Krugman Intellectually Bankrupt? He Sure Thinks the Republicans Are.
Talk about intellectual bankruptcy. Paul Krugman is intellectually and morally bankrupt. Okay, I don’t know if he’s morally bankrupt, but I’ve never liked him in any of the interviews I’ve seen him in. He sure has no leg to stand on by accusing anyone else of Intellectual Bankruptcy. His partial facts and misleading comments are not honest to the conversation the nation needs to have. The post by Steve Maley is so good and puts Mr. Krugman on notice that we won’t be fooled by strawman arguments and phony statistics. I may not be the smartest person around, but I know crap when I see it flung around, and believe me Krugman flings crap.
Check out Steve Maley’s post at Red State:
As for the employment statistics, “lazy” and “inept” are two words that come to mind.Although he doesn’t cite a source, Dr. Krugman has apparently relied on the database of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Indeed, the industry subsector called “Oil and Gas Extraction: NAICS 211″, (part of the Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector) shows the gain in jobs he describes, from roughly 120,000 jobs in 2004 to about 190,000 now. And he apparently stopped there.
190,000 jobs? Doesn’t that seem kinda low for an industry that comprises 8% or so of the economy?
That’s just part of an article that points out the glaring flaws in Paul Krugman’s op-ed “Natural Born Drillers“. For someone who is supposed to be so smart, it’s pretty easy to find the flaws(big, glaring errors) in his logic. He finds statistics that fit his meme. In fact, after reading his op-ed, I see he never says where he got his statistics. I’m sure he thinks no one will check up on him. After all, he’s won the Nobel Prize for economics. Obviously he knows more than all the Americans who are just living there lives. We just manage to balance our budgets, choose common sense ways to handle our personal economics, run our homes and raise our children. All without his Ivy League education or a Nobel Prize in economics for his brilliant mind. We normal Americans manage to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
I don’t want to include a quote from Krugman’s op-ed, because I can’t find one paragraph that doesn’t make me want to scream. I know he would think I’m just some uneducated housewife, incapable of understanding his staggering intellect. I’m sure he would talk down to me the same way it seems he is talking down to and about Republicans. What he doesn’t seem to understand is that Americans are not morons. We understand more than he thinks we do, unfortunately for him. We can see his obfuscating when he tries to explain anything to the “little” people. He certainly does have his own opinion and he’s not afraid to express it. You can check out his op-ed if you want to. Just click here.
Nothing to See Here…The DOJ Says Voter Fraud Not a Problem. Really?
What we see on the news is Attorney General Eric Holder telling the American people there’s no need for Americans to show ID to vote. In fact, he says, to do so would be racist. He assures us that there is really no problem with voter fraud. Really?
The head of the NAACP travels to Geneva to meet with the UN Council about Texas’ voter ID laws. Do we really need some outside organization telling us what to do? Plus, the UN has really no moral authority to tell us what to do. Look at the countries and people they ignore and they’re supposed to choose Texas voter ID laws.
I have to show ID in my state if I want to vote. It’s not that hard to do. In fact, I have to show ID for many things I need to do in life.
I know AG Holder thinks there’s nothing to see here. No problem…No problem at all. Watch the following video and tell me what you think.
ProjectVeritas.com Investigation. Election officials advise no ID necessary to register Timothy Tebow and Thomas Brady to vote in Minnesota. Absentee ballots are discussed, voter registration forms are given out, and Election officials blow the whistle on potential fraud in their own state.
