One candidate DOES have time for Netanyahu!

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mitt Romney to have foreign affairs conversation today.

President Obama refused to meet with Netanyahu on his trip to the United States, and the Israeli government presumably thought a meeting with the opposition candidate in the absence of one with the sitting president would be too provocative. But there was apparently an eagerness on the Israeli prime minister's part to talk with Romney in order to help win as broad American support as possible for the red lines he outlined in his United Nations speech with respect to the Iranian nuclear program.

As for Romney, he expects to explore Netanyahu's understanding of the red lines, and also, we are told, wants to hear Netanyahu's perspective on developments elsewhere in the Middle East.

Not sure if that important governmental advisory group, The View, has time for Romney.

From an e-mail—it’s going around

Rich is relative

The Obamas are worth about $12 million.  Maybe pikers compared to the Romneys but certainly the 1%, and a whole lot wealthier than you or me.  Neither Barack nor Michelle attended public schools, nor have their children.

An American physician speaks out

“All our life, my family has walked in the American way. We did not take anything from anyone. We never felt entitled. Instead, through our own hard work, we struggled for success.

My husband, Sheldon Adelson, a son of a poor Boston taxi driver, started his business life at the age of 12, and has achieved everything with his own hands. His companies have directly created more than 50,000 jobs and indirectly provided employment for hundreds of thousands of Americans and people around the world. These jobs have in turn supported an even greater number of families.

For my part, I have worked as a medical doctor for almost 40 years in the areas of internal, emergency and addiction medicine. In those years I have saved human life and helped countless individuals regain meaningful lives.

Our belief is that it is one’s right and obligation to rely on oneself, on one’s efforts, on one’s talent. This is the American way. This is the dignified way — to be an entrepreneur, not a follower; to rely on yourself, not to expect the government to take care of you; to strive to do your work by yourself, not to demand others do it for you.

And if you succeed, then your success is exactly what America is about — proof of the American dream!

But the American dream is possible because of certain fundamental rights that are conferred and protected by our Constitution.”

There’s a clear difference

Pursuing doesn’t guarantee catching

It’s time for a new economic patriotism—King Barack

Last year $1.4 BILLION of US taxpayer money was spent on King Barack and his court.  And he criticizes Mitt Romney who spends his own money.

I’m a single issue voter!

But that one issue covers a lot of territory.  Enticing women to vote Democrat with free birth control pills?  Tacky.  Plus, for as long as they’ve been keeping track, the more birth control is made available, whether free or insurance or private money, the higher the abortion rate goes.  Now, if you can’t figure that one out, it’s back to Sex 101 for you. 

The most anti-life President in the history of the United States, both as an Illinois senator and a U.S. senator, who has also expanded  the wars, personally selects his drone targets, not kept his promises to religious groups, and bowed to Muslim leaders who enslave women and imprison gays.

Tax money for the nation’s largest abortion provider (actually Nixon started that, so Obama is only expanding what a Republican started).

Destruction of the first amendment with the HHS Mandate—he began with religion which is the basis of free speech, and now he’s wimping out before Muslims over our constitutional right to free speech because they want Shariia.  Morsi, whom he helped put in power with his smiling approval of Arab Spring, is criticizing Obama’s defense.

Mother Teresa said that abortion is the biggest threat to world peace, and I agree. And your reasons for approving the killing of babies in the womb?

Romney’s ad—Ohio is coal country

http://www.mittromney.com/forms/bankrupt

“President Obama is attacking Mitt Romney because Mitt Romney supports coal miners.

In 2008, Barack Obama said building a coal-powered plant will bankrupt you. (voice over and video of that famous line)

President Obama wages war on coal while we lose jobs to China. We can’t afford four more years.”

Remember all those squirrely light bulbs the government is forcing us to buy?  Made in China.  In coal fired plants.  And it’s not even clean coal, and they are terrible polluters.

“CFLs are manufactured mostly in China with virtually no health, safety, or environmental protection regulations. Ironically, most of the electricity used to manufacture CFLs comes from coal-fired generators. As CFLs increase in popularity, mercury exposure to workers, to electricians, to maintenance personal, to consumers, to water supplies, and to the living environment, will go ahead almost unchecked.” http://lightbulbchoice.com/cfls-are-mercury-polluters/

Woman vandalizes pro-Israel poster

Mona Eltahawy screams at police: "What are you arresting me for?" For starters, spray painting walls in a subway, assaulting another citizen, pushing and shoving. Screaming at police. Resisting arrest. Stupidity? Racism? And she's a CNN and MSNBC favorite guest? I've never seen her, have to take their word for it. Her 5 minutes of fame.

However, I viewed the video, and it was not an anti-Muslim poster, it was pro-Israel, condemning Jihad.  So I don't know who wrote the headline. But we've twisted the English language so much, now supporting Israel is anti-Muslim; supporting traditional marriage is homophobic; saying Obama and Chicago in the same sentence is racist.

Remember the flap about Romney’s dog?

President Obama’s dog gets its own high-paid staffer:

“Bo made the news when he and his handler were flown to join the president on vacation in Maine,” Gray wrote about the Obama family dog. “It has been reported that the first family’s dog handler was paid $102,000, last year.”

That would be an excellent story to go along with the Romney dog carrier of 30 years ago. But I doubt that the media cares. I’m trying to think what a 40 hour week looks like for a “dog handler” of one dog.

The food police are coming

Here is a frightening prospect:

"To have any chance of release from obesity's ever-tightening grip, the NATION will REQUIRE broad based efforts in every corner of society: homes, schools, community organizations, all levels of GOVERNMENT, urban design, transportation, agriculture, the food industry, the media, medical practice, and, without question, biomedical research."

JAMA Sept. 19, 2012 p. 1095

Any chart of the growth of the restaurant industry can show you the relationship between the modern women/feminist movement and obesity.   So maybe it’s up to moms to rein in the eating out, to spend a bit more time in the kitchen preparing food instead of opening packages, and stop driving the kids everywhere.  Actually, the childhood "obesity epidemic” stalled over a decade ago, but that hasn’t stopped the government intrusion in our lives.

The researchers can glamorize or sympathize, but the fact remains, a woman employed outside the home whose time is valuable, turns to restaurants/fast food outlets to feed her family.  Many women know nothing of the time short cuts or economic savings women of my generation learned from our mothers.

“The researchers acknowledge that food prepared in the home is nominally cheaper than purchasing food in restaurants. But in view of the value of time that must be devoted to shopping and cooking, as compared to the high-calorie, low-cost, mass-production meals available at ever-increasingly convenient locations (with ever diminishing travel and waiting time), the fast-food option appears to make good economic, if not health, sense.”

Tiller’s abortion clinic will reopen

It’s true that atheist dictators and despots have killed far more people (usually their own citizens/subjects) than all the wars Christians have fought over theology, liturgy, Christology, etc., however, if Christian abortionists like George Tiller (Lutheran) and the pro-choice Christians keep at it, they could surpass those killing fields.

“The Wichita-based non-profit group Trust Women Foundation Inc. purchased Tiller’s former clinic in late August, Executive Director Julie Burkhart said Wednesday.

Erin Thompson, an attorney for Tiller’s widow, confirmed the sale. “

I’m against the death penalty, whether it’s murder of an abortionist, murder of a pre-born baby, or the legal execution of a slime ball doctor who murdered his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood.  But at least I’m consistent.  Are you?

An abortionist can make more money before noon in one day, than following one patient 7 months to deliver a live baby, and s/he doesn’t need to worry about being sue several years later if the baby isn’t perfect, smart, and athletic.

Democrats: Your lover lies to you

“None of the initial explanations offered by the White House and State Department since the assault on the Benghazi consulate has held up. First the Administration blamed protests provoked by an amateurish anti-Islam clip posted on YouTube. Cue Susan Rice, the U.N. Ambassador and leading candidate for Secretary of State in a second Obama term: "What happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction . . . as a consequence of the video, that people gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent."

Romney’s freedom message

The Clinton Global Initiative gives Mitt Romney a STANDING OVATION for his talk this week on sustaining economies. He begins with inspiration from the Tunisian fruit vendor whose suicide catalyzed the Arab Spring. Romney proposes solutions to despair and fanaticism. How? Job opportunities. The rule of law. Fair trade. Property rights. Prosperity pacts. "The right moral course ... Coupling aid with trade." So worth watching though 15 minutes. [Kelly Monroe Kullberg]

90% of Obama’s problems are Bush’s—he says

On 60 minutes Obama surprised even his supporters by only accepting 10% of the blame for the economy. Washington Post Fact Checker goes through this morass rather carefully and gives him four Pinocchios (the maximum), the little dummy with the long nose that grew with lies. The very long article concludes with some sadness that it is time for him to start accepting some responsibility for the mess—and the consequences of the healthcare law will be killers.

Clearly, a huge part of the deficit problem — about half — stems from the recession and forecasting errors. But Obama’s policies represent a big chunk as well. (We would welcome suggestions for fine-tuning these numbers.)

Now one could argue, as Obama’s defenders do, that his policies to combat the recession were intended to be temporary. But he has also supported permanently extending the Bush tax cuts for Americans making less than $250,000, which by itself will shrink federal revenues for years to come. That means these are no longer Bush’s tax cuts, but Obama’s.

Moreover, an important part of Obama’s legacy — the health-care law — has not even taken full effect yet. The CBO calculated virtually no impact on the deficit in the first 10 years after enactment, but all bets are off after that.

Finally, Obama claims that “we have actually seen the federal government grow at a slower pace than at any time since Dwight Eisenhower.” We regret to say that the president is repeating a widely debunked column that appeared on MarketWatch earlier this year. We devoted three columns to the column’s faulty logic, and FactCheck.org and the Associated Press also said it was bunk. (PolitiFact said it was “half true.”)

Not to get too deep in the weeds again, but the claim is based on treating 2009 (as we said, an amalgam of Bush and Obama policies) as actually Bush’s year, and then ignoring Obama’s proposed spending increases in the future. Such calculations help to dramatically shrink the growth of spending under Obama relative to other presidents.

How to keep a woman poor—government entitlements

As the above chart – via Gary Alexander, Pennsylvania’s secretary of Public Welfare — shows, the single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income and benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income & benefits of $57,045.

It would sure be tempting for that mom to keep the status quo rather than take the new job, even though the new position might lead to further career advancement and a higher standard of living. I guess this is something the Obama White House forgot to mention in its “Life of Julia” cartoons extolling government assistance.

They are coming after other rights after taking this one from you

"Contraceptive and other mandates have been levied on Catholic institutions by American legislators and courts, which argue that the “right” to contraception takes precedence over religious freedom. Future government mandates are likely to include assisted suicide and recognition of same-sex marriages. By agreeing to these mandates, Church representatives risk grave imputability in the wrongs of others, as defined by canon law. Sponsors of employee benefit plans which include contraceptive coverage risk canonical penalties because payment contributions indicate immediate material cooperation with an intrinsic evil. Furthermore, by collaborating even under protest, the Church encourages further government intrusions on religious freedom. Executive summary, "Contraceptive Mandates and Immoral Cooperation" by Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, Ph.D., R.N

If you are a protestant, no one's in charge, no one will tell you about evil or collaborating with the government, so on this you may have to trust the one church with the most experience and age. But whatever direction your church takes, this isn't the end--he will come for more and more.  Don't believe me?  When was the last time your church was allowed to evangelize while feeding the poor? Teaching English to foreigners? Roofing a home in a deteriorating neighborhood?

We knew, but Democrats hide from truth

It’s a gift basket to run against them—why not open it?

“Every Republican claims to be against "Obamacare." But "Obamacare" isn't a single issue. It's a gift basket to a Republican campaign stuffed with everything Americans hate about big government. Look, here's a punitive mandate. And here's a consolidation of power in the bureaucracy. And this greasy-palms crony capitalism should be helpful. Not to mention a trampling of religious liberty, a technocratic advisory board with authority over Medicare cuts, a heinous new tax on medical devices that starts next year, and more than 1,200 waivers issued to lucky (and mostly unionized) businesses.

The gigantic, shambling abomination that is Obamacare contains so much ammunition for conservatives that the NRA should be scoring it.”  Matt Purple
