An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Morning Coffee – 11/20/08
Left-wing billionaire financier George Soros is using his financial muscle at a Manhattan fund-raiser tonight to help Al Franken win a recount in Minnesota’s Senate election.
Soros – the hedge-fund honcho and sugar daddy of the Democratic Party – will host a soirée for Franken at his Carnegie Hill digs to help cover the candidate’s costs to monitor the statewide recount.
So, the “one world” POS that made billions off the backs of the ‘little guy’ wants to help the feckless Franken steal an election. Don’t you wonder how many other elections he’s manipulated? Can’t we reject his citizenship? 
President-elect promised change, picking insiders
Obama is enlisting former Senate leader Tom Daschle as his health secretary. Hillary Rodham Clinton seemed more likely than ever to be his secretary of state. Clinton is deciding whether to take that post as America’s top diplomat, her associates said Wednesday.
Obama is ready to announce that his attorney general will be Eric Holder, the Justice Department’s No. 2 when Clinton’s husband was president. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, is another veteran of the Clinton White House.
I’m still waiting for the “change”. Seems to me, it’s going to be just more of the same. Face it! What y’all voted for….was the WRONG GUY!
Israel Tries to Convince US of Airport Safety
Intensive efforts are being made to convince the US Federal Aviation Administration not to lower Israel’s airport safety rating.
A delegation of FAA personnel has been in Israel for the past several days, checking procedures in Ben Gurion International Airport and Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority – and have come up with negative conclusions. If Israeli efforts to change the decree fail, the FAA will lower Israel’s rating from Category 1 to Category 2 next week.
This will place Israel in the same category as Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Ukraine, Honduras, Bulgaria and others.
Are they freaking kidding????? The U.S. could learn a GREAT deal from the Israelis when it comes to security!! Starting with some serious ‘profiling’!
Shelby County veterans stress need for continuity in military operations
Retired Vietnam veteran Ed Stutler of Memphis is skeptical of President-elect Barack Obama’s proposed plan to pull combat forces from Iraq in 16 months.
Let the generals on the ground determine when it’s safe to pull out of war, Stutler said, and don’t leave the fragile country until the job is done.
“You cannot fight a war from the White House,” said Stutler, 63, of Obama’s campaign promise to set a timetable for troop withdrawal.
There in lies the biggest problem with “modern warfare”. You’ve got the clueless in D.C. trying to run the show from thousands of miles away. You cannot micromanage war! If they allowed the military do what they were trained to do, the troops could have left Iraq a long time ago.
State education panel hears evolution debate
College professors, science teachers and pro-evolution groups urged the board to drop a rule that requires the strengths and weaknesses of Darwin’s theory to be taught in science courses, while conservative groups aligned with a sizable bloc of board members said the rule has worked well and hasn’t forced religion into those classes as critics charge.
(…)
Rabbi Nancy Kasten of Dallas, a board member for the National Council of Jewish Women, said a state rule mandating that weaknesses of evolution be covered makes science education in Texas “vulnerable to a wide range of speculative and subversive interpretation” – including non-scientific explanations such as creationism.
I use to be under the impression that education was for the purpose of educating, allowing different points of view to develop one’s ability to think. When did this change? When the libs took over the education and turned it into indoctrination.
Boehner Says House GOP Not Shifting to the Right; Other Leaders Disagree
House Republicans are not shifting to the political right, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told CNSNews.com on Wednesday, just hours after two of the top three GOP leadership spots were won by conservative lawmakers in an internal leadership election.
Members Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mike Pence (R-Ind.), and John Mica (R-Fla.), however, told CNSNews.com that they think the conference is shifting to the political right.
But Boehner said, “No, I don’t think it’s right or left. It’s what are the issues Americans are concerned about, and how do we build solutions on our principles? It’s not left or right.
Actually, it’s more a matter of right and wrong. We’re right, they are wrong! One of the major reasons I’m no longer a member of the Republican Party is because it has moved too far left….aka WRONG!
MS-13 member sentenced to 14 years in prison
At his plea hearing, Mendez admitted that he and others involved in the MS-13 gang conspired to participate in a pattern of racketeering activity in the Nashville area, including murder, attempted murder and witness tampering.
In addition, Mendez admitted that on May 21, 2006, he and other MS-13 gang members fired a handgun at an individual who was suspected of being a member of the rival street gang Brown Pride. The victim was struck and wounded in the arm. Mendez also admitted that on June 17, 2006, he and other MS-13 gang members shot and killed two rival gang members sitting inside a car at a traffic light.
This human excrement admits to killing two others and all he gets is 14 years? Excuse me, but how is that ‘justice’?
Imams condone rape, violence – report
SOME Muslim imams condone rape and domestic violence within marriage, exploitation of women, welfare fraud and polygamy, a report has found.
(…)
The report, presented on yesterday at a National Centre for Excellence in Islamic Studies conference at the University of Melbourne, alleged that some Victorian imams:
* Apply Sharia law only where it benefits men;
* Hinder police investigations of domestic violence claims; and
* Knowingly perform polygamous marriages, which allow a second wife to claim Centrelink payments because they are regarded as de facto wives under Australian law.
Oooooo….now there’s a major shocker! (insert massive sarcasm)
S.S. D.D.
