Last Thursday night, President Obama delivered a few remarks before lighting the National Christmas Tree.  He made a rather curious reference to Jesus as a “manifestation”, then added, “He grew up to become a leader with a servant’s heart”.  When I hear the phrase “a servant’s heart”, I’m immediately reminded of Sarah Palin’s movie, “The Undefeated”, where it’s the title of Act I.  Coincidence?  After all, he is the greatest community activist ever.  But the following article nailed it for me.  What kind of Christian talks like this?
(RightScoop)…I’m pointing this out only because I don’t know any Christian who talks this way about the One who they believe is their Messiah. First here is what Obama said:  (more…)

How about a little something to make you smile after a long day?

(OutsidetheBeltway)…Herman Cain: No endorsements today or anytime soon. It looks like the rumors circulating this morning aren’t true, since Herman Cain himself said today that he’s not making any endorsement any time soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This could explain why Newt had such flattering words for Cain upon the latter’s stepping down.  These men seem to like and respect one another, and If I recall correctly, Newt was the first one to openly defend Cain, while the others waited to gauge the political winds. 

(FoxNewsAtlanta)…Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is set to announce he is endorsing former Speaker of the House and fellow Georgian Newt Gingrich for the Republican presidential nomination, a source tells MyFoxAtlanta.com.  The source says Cain is preparing to make the announcement Monday, but the details of the formal announcement are still being worked out.   (more…)

Super idea!  What could possibly go wrong?  Maybe we should send them a DVD of “Jurassic Park”?

I don’t know how many of you caught the “Republican Presidential Forum” being hosted  by Mike Huckabee on Fox, but I’m sure the MSM’s going to be all over this clip by sunrise. Perry was asked by Florida’s Ken Cuccinelli about his claim that if elected he would issue an executive order to block the implementation of Obamacare, a federal law.  When asked what would give him that authority, he said the executive order itself does.
Wiki defines it as such:  “U.S. Presidents have issued executive orders since 1789, usually to help officers and agencies of the Executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself. Executive orders have the full force of law, since issuances are typically made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress, some of which specifically delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation), or are believed to take authority from a power granted directly to the Executive by the Constitution.”   As I’ve always heard it interpreted, Congress writes the laws, but the President has the power to clarify operational policy and secure appointments within the executive office.

Our TSA….saving us from wheelchair grannies and their evil defibrillators.  No wonder American Airlines went bankrupt earlier this week. 
(msnbc.com)…An 84-year-old New York grandmother said Saturday she was injured and humiliated when she was strip searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner.  Lenore Zimmerman said she was whisked away to a private room and made to take off her pants and other clothes after she asked to forgo the screening because she worried it would interfere with her defibrillator. She missed her flight and had to take one two-and-a-half hours later, she said.
“I walk with a walker — I really look like a terrorist,” she told The New York Daily News. “I’m tiny. I weigh 110 pounds, 107 without clothes, and I was strip-searched.  I was outraged,” said Zimmerman, a retired receptionist.   (more…)

I’m sorry folks.  I’m trying to be all serious and type, but I just can’t stop laughing.  You can’t make stuff like this up.  Seems like our bestest friends, the Saudis, have once again returned to the 7th. century in order to do their scientific research detailing what will happen if women are allowed to drive.  “Saudis fear there will be ‘no more virgins’ and people will turn gay if female drive ban is lifted.”  Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of misogynistic oinkers…..seriously?
(DailyMail)…Repealing a ban on women drivers in Saudi Arabia would result in ‘no more virgins’, the country’s religious council has warned.  A ‘scientific’ report claims relaxing the ban would also see more Saudis – both men and women – turn to homosexuality and pornography.  The startling conclusions were drawn by Muslim scholars at the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the King Fahd University.   (more…)

Looks like the “Cain Train” has slowed to a crawl.  This afternoon Cain gave an interview to the Union Leader admitting that his wife not only knew nothing of the thirteen year relationship with Ginger White, she also didn’t know of any financial assistance.  Now he’s headlined on Drudge with the title, “All But Over”.

Michelle Malkin to GOP ‘Cupcake’ Candidates: If You Can’t Handle Bret Baier, You Aren’t Ready for ‘Liberal Media Velociraptors’
(FNInsider)…Newt Gingrich didn’t mince words in a recent interview, saying that without a doubt he’s the most conservative person running for president in 2012. While his accomplishments from decades ago may not be up for debate, political pundit Michelle Malkin says it’s the former House speaker’s activities of late that conservatives such as herself have problems with.  (more…)

I ran into this late last night, but I hesitated to post it because of the XXX language.  I see Solaratov also put on the Open with the disclaimer, “Absolutely, positively, NSFW”.   He’s right, however, this is something that really deserves to be heard.  If you can somehow grit your teeth and get around your initial reaction to the language, you’ll be surprised at the wisdom he articulates. He nails it when describing the first wave of the “Occupation Generation”…the brats who demonstrate what happens when the world stops passing out the participation trophies.  ENVY → SHAME …wash and repeat.
