Breitbart Kicks Hinder At CPAC
Not Worth Spit!
I have yet to figure out why this show is still on the air, not even the token conservative can’t even redeem it. These female creatures are the most offensive beings, and are an insult to women everywhere.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Now, there are lots of headlines right now about battles over birth control and abortion rights. A federal judge in Texas has is upholding a law that provides abortion providers to show or describe to women an ultrasound of the fetus before he can have an abortion.
BARBARA WALTERS: And the heartbeat.
JOY BEHAR: It’s very totalitarian in my opinion. I mean, it smacks of forcing somebody to confront something that they have already decided they don’t want to deal with.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Can I ask you a question, though? Because I’m going to take my personal feelings about abortion out of this, but from a medical perspective- and I’ll ask this of anyone- you wouldn’t necessarily go in to get, I don’t know, say, a cyst removed or tooth extracted or a kidney that had to be, you know, examined and have surgery on, you would never go through any medical procedure without looking at an ultrasound, seeing an X-ray and the physician by no means want to do that procedure, go ahead with it without looking at the scientific evidence.
BEHAR: Doesn’t the doctor look at it though?
HASSELBECK: Hang on, as a patient I would just want information. To me, it doesn’t make sense why you wouldn’t- why you would ask for an X-ray for those things or an ultrasound but not in this case.
WALTERS: Let me try to answer you. First of all, it is interesting in every primary the subject of abortion comes up and it is always so controversial and so divisive and yet in the actual election, it plays a very small part. I always find that fascinating. It’s always an issue, but people, with it all, do not vote for the president on that issue. I think that in order to even think about having an abortion, to give up a child that is obviously unwanted, that’s why you’re doing it, it is such a tremendous decision, it’s involved with so much fear of what you’re doing and guilt.
HASSELBECK: But if that-
WALTERS: Wait! Then to have to go and be forced to hear, to see the fetus, to hear the heartbeat, to put more guilt on you, I think is heartbreaking.
How any woman can be so dismissive of the life of an innocent child is totally beyond me! I have completely lost any respect for Barbara Walters that I had left, and believe me, it wasn’t much. I’ve never had any for Behar, and I actually use to really like Whoopi Goldberg. She should have stuck to comedy. I’ve no idea who Sherri Shepherd is….never heard of her, but perhaps she should find some more legitimate line of work?

Harry Reid – Spending With Impunity
I wonder why Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama didn’t make this list?
Budget? Why Follow A Budget?
The Foundry
Families and businesses have budgets, yet Washington doesn’t — and it hasn’t for the last three years. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) doesn’t think this major omission is that big of a deal, and the White House has no opinion on the matter. Fortunately, there are leaders in the House who see the importance of passing a budget and getting runaway spending and escalating debt under control.
For Congress, the budget is an outline of how and where money will be spent across the federal government and how high taxes and borrowing will be. The budget guides all spending, tax, and reform bills that must be passed during the year, and Congress is obligated to pass one every year. Despite those facts — and even with a $15 trillion national debt — Senator Reid last week said, “We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year,” disavowing the entire budgeting process — and his responsibility, right along with it.
On Wednesday, ABC’s Jake Tapper asked White House press secretary Jay Carney where the President stands on the Senate’s failure to pass a budget, particularly in light of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s statement that the lack of a budget has had an adverse effect on economic growth. Carney’s response: “Well, I don’t have an opinion to express on how the Senate does its business with regards to this issue.”

White House to Announce ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations on Contraception Rule
With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an attempt to accommodate these religious groups.
The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.
Sources say it will be respectful of religious beliefs but will not back off from that goal, which many religious leaders oppose since birth control is in violation of their religious beliefs.

A Hand UP…Not A Hand OUT
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
I wonder if this is why the Democrats in the Senate refuse to come up with a budget?
Dependence on Government Highest in History
The Foundry
When John F. Kennedy was President, just over a quarter of federal spending went to fund programs paying for some 21.7 million Americans to be dependent on Uncle Sam. But as high as that spending and dependence on the federal government was then, it has exploded today, with one in five Americans — more than 67.3 million — depending on Washington for assistance.

Spanking kids can cause long-term harm: Canada study
Spanking children can cause long-term developmental damage and may even lower a child’s IQ, according to a new Canadian analysis that seeks to shift the ethical debate over corporal punishment into the medical sphere.
The study, published this week in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, reached its conclusion after examining 20 years of published research on the issue. The authors say the medical finding have been largely overlooked and overshadowed by concerns that parents should have the right to determine how their children are disciplined.
While spanking is certainly not as widespread as it was 20 years ago, many still cling to the practice and see prohibiting spanking as limiting the rights of parents.
That point of view highlights the difficulty in changing hearts and minds on the issue, despite a mountain of accumulated evidence showing the damage physical punishment can have on a child, says Joan Durant, a professor at University of Manitoba and one of the authors of the study.
What a total load of caca de toro! Spanking lowers IQ? ROFLMBO Are these morons serious? The problem isn’t spanking…..it’s NOT spanking. Kids have got this brilliant idea that they can get away with damn near anything, and there’s nothing their parents can do to reverse the trend, thanks ever so much to the weasels like this bunch! Kids aren’t taught between right….no spanking….and wrong…. get your hind end whupped!
Proverbs 13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
We aren’t talking about beatings here. We’re talking paddling the back side when a child needs discipline. If you love your child, you teach that child right from wrong. Stealing is wrong. Your kid shoplifts, you take said child into the store where he/she stole, and make him/her apologize to the store owner, or manager, return the item, then take said child home, put some whalluping on his/her hind end, and that kid isn’t going to forget……stealing is wrong! And if he/she doesn’t want to get whupped, then said kid will NOT steal again! It’s called TEACHING YOUR CHILD! NOT disciplining your kid causes “long-term harm”!

Iran Strikes: Are You With or Against Israel?
by Gadi Adelman
Israel says time is running out and Leon Panetta says Israel could attack Iran as early as April. As all this unfolds the Obama administration cautions our greatest ally Israel rather than Iran.
Just days after 9/11 on September 13, 2001, then-Senator Hillary Clinton stated during an interview on the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather,
“Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.”
President George W. Bush elaborated those words on September 20, 2001; during an address to a joint session of Congress,
“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
Bush went a little further and in simple terms explained what he meant,
“They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.”
During his State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, Bush named terrorist groups,
“Our military has put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of business, yet camps still exist in at least a dozen countries. A terrorist underworld — including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-i-Mohammed — operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in the centers of large cities.”
Three out of four of the groups he named, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad all have one thing in common. They are all funded, supplied and trained by Iran.
Read the rest here.
Failure to recognize the danger that Iran poses to both Israel and the United States is one of those things that Obama and his administration are quite good at, either by design, or total ignorance. I don’t think it’s ignorance. He professes to be a ‘Christian’, but all of his actions are anti-Christian. True Christians will stand WITH Israel against her enemies, and what greater enemy than one who has declared the intent to totally destroy her.
From the NKJV:
Exodus 23:30-33
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
31 And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
From The Torah:
Exodus 23:30-33
30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and possess the land
31 I will set your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of Philistia and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you will drive them out before you.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33 They shall not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me; for you serve their gods – and it will prove a snare to you.
Now, I won’t swear to it, but I’m fairly sure this is an accurate description of the land given to the Hebrews. I’m pretty sure the Arabs know this, but don’t much like the idea. There are a lot of squatters in land that was given to them, way back when. The Sea of Philistia, if I’m not mistaken, is what we call the Mediterranean. The Sea of Reeds, well, that would be the Red Sea as stated in the Old Testament.
Even back then, it really wasn’t a huge plot of land, but compared to what they have today, well, it was HUGE.
All Israel wants is to live in peace, to protect her people, and defend herself against her enemies. I don’t think that is asking too much. She is surrounded by enemies. Little Big Horn comes to mind.
As a Christian nation, we are obliged to stand with her, not with her enemies. Thanks to Obama and his cronies, liberals who have done their best to remove God from all aspects of our lives, we are no longer a blessed nation. The current government has turned its back on our closet ally in the area. Unless we turn our faces back to God, we will be a nation ‘gone under’. Israel doesn’t need our permission to do a darn thing. She doesn’t need the backing of the United Nations. She has the backing of a MUCH greater Power!

Middle East Crumbles Around Obama’s Foreign Policy
The Foundry
Thousands are dead in Syria, with more blood spilled each day. Iran is within arm’s reach of a nuclear weapon, threatening Israel’s very existence. And in Egypt, 19 Americans are banned from leaving the country, making them veritable hostages in an unfriendly land. All indications are that the Middle East is crumbling, and President Barack Obama’s foreign policy is collapsing right along with it.
First look toward Homs, Syria — ground zero in the 11-month-old uprising against the brutal government of Bashar al-Assad, which is unleashing death upon its people minute by minute and hour by hour. The United Nations estimates that Assad’s regime has killed more than 5,000 anti-government protesters in the last 11 months, with 200 killed on Friday night alone. The Arab League has stationed observers in country, whose mission was to oversee compliance with a peace plan. That failed.
The Obama Administration rushed to the United Nations Security Council and attempted to pass a resolution calling for Assad to step aside. Predictably, China and Russia laid down a veto. On Monday, the United States finally closed the doors to its embassy in Damascus and withdrew the diplomatic staff over continuing security concerns. Meanwhile, intelligence experts are examining the risk of terrorists gaining control of Syria’s weapons stockpiles should the Assad regime fall.

Rick Santorum swept three nominating contests held Tuesday, upsetting frontrunner Mitt Romney and injecting new energy into the former Pennsylvania senator’s campaign.
Santorum scored broad victories in the Minnesota caucus and a primary in Missouri, according to NBC News projections. But Santorum’s most significant upset came in Colorado, where the state GOP declared him the apparent victor in caucuses there.
Santorum jolts GOP presidential race with 3-state sweep
Rick Santorum awoke to a new reality Wednesday after sweeping all three Republican presidential contests a day earlier, reshaping the contest that will decide who runs against President Barack Obama in November.
Santorum won caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, as well as a nonbinding primary in Missouri to energize his campaign and raise questions about front-runner Mitt Romney’s ability to attract broad conservative support.
Santorum gets second wind with sweep in Minn., Mo., Colo.

HEY! RNC! Us’ns ou’chere in flyover country….
WE DON’T WANT NO MITT ROMNEY!
I’m just real sorry they didn’t figure out before shoving him down our throats. You see, we would rather have a choice in who our nomination, and president, will be. We don’t really care whose “turn it is”. If that was the intent of the Founders, then we would have had a monarchy, or something similar. But we don’t.
Y’all stuck us with John McCain, who EVERYONE knew couldn’t win. He’s a ‘nice guy’, and politics aren’t polite! Honestly, I think that man did almost as much sucking up to Obama as the media. 
Now, I’m not saying the Romney would be a similar suck up, but he honestly doesn’t fit the criteria we are looking for in a nominee.
Is Santorum perfect? No, but those folks who are looking for the “perfect” candidate will always be disappointed!
When push comes to shove, will we be able to unite behind whoever the candidate will be? I sure pray so! Even Romney says the GOP will be united. If we do not unite, we will be saying goodbye to the United States of America. A place where, once upon a time, you could dream big, and achieve much. We want that country back! We will not get it under Barack Hussein Obama and his henchmen! We need the Senate, the House, the White House, AND the Supreme Court! And we need them NOW!
