A message of constitutional incapacity for a Prog, a Decepticon, a Democrat or even a Republican to understand…..
(CNA News) – Pope Francis surprised the owner of a kiosk in Buenos Aires with a telephone call to send his greetings and explain that he will no longer need a morning paper delivered each day.
Around 1:30 p.m. local time on March 18, Daniel Del Regno, the kiosk owner’s son, answered the phone and heard a voice say, “Hi Daniel, it’s Cardinal Jorge.”
He thought that maybe a friend who knew that the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires bought the newspaper from them every day was pulling a prank on him.
“Seriously, it’s Jorge Bergoglio, I’m calling you from Rome,” the Pope insisted. (more…)
What you are speaks so loudly we cannot hear a word you are saying…..
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain is apologizing for calling Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz “wacko birds” and says he respects what his Senate colleagues stand for.
“[In] an interview I said that Sen. Cruz and Sen. Paul were ‘wacko birds.’ That was inappropriate and I apologize to them for saying that, and I respect them both. I respect what they stand for and what they believe in. They both made an impact out here in the United States Senate,” McCain (R-Ariz.) said on Fox News on Friday.
McCain had previously told The Huffington Post earlier this month that Cruz (R-Texas), Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) were “wacko birds” for their outspoken brand of politicking on the Hill. McCain has also criticized Paul for his nearly 13-hour filibuster that pressured President Barack Obama’s administration to clarify its position on the use of domestic drones. (more)
Moments after John McCain calls fellow Republicans’ Rand Paul and Ted Cruz “wacko birds” (with the Huffington Post) Rand Paul steps into the same elevator.
Squawkward !
Obviously I admire Rand Paul’s self restraint. If it had been me in his position, I probably would have hit the emergency stop button and asked him (quite deliberately) “hey dipshit, whatever happened to that ‘I won’t support Brennan until we get all the Bengazi information’ point you were holding?…… Never mind – Maverdick indeed”
(Reuters) – Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on Friday formally declared Detroit in a fiscal emergency and said he had identified a top candidate to take over financial management of the destitute city.
The declaration virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit’s books, though Snyder was careful to say there is still a window of 10 days for city leaders to convince him otherwise.
“I believe it’s appropriate to declare the city of Detroit in financial emergency,” Snyder told a forum of community leaders at a Detroit public television station.
Detroit has faced the steepest population decline of any major American city in recent decades. Once the fifth largest U.S. city, which shone as the birthplace of the U.S. automotive industry and Motown music, it now ranks 18th in size with about 700,000 people – after suffering a 25 percent decline in population between 2000 and 2010.

Today March 1st is the first anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s passing.
In our lifetime I doubt you could find a more consequential figure in the pushback against the radical left. No-one was as effective at understanding the methods, purposes and strategy of the radical Alinsky left like Andrew Breitbart was. A real hero for principled patriots.
Like many historical figures his life was short – but in that span of years he left a legacy and a footprint that will never be forgotten.
Today we honor his memory and we invite you to share your thoughts of Andrew and celebrate his life.
You’ll never get a clue what’s being done to, and within, this country from the complicit “mainstream” media. But a KGB expert who defected to the good guys was explaining it for us back in the 80s. Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us:
Stage One: Demoralization – Elimination of American Exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia. Peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National history is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
Stage Two: Crisis – Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and breakdown of previous self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. Cloward Piven approach to overloading the system, ie more takers than producers. The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver “things” (Hope and Change) to meet people’s needs through Social and Economic Justice. False illusions that the situation is under control if certain strategic directions are followed (Bailouts, Stimulus, Jobs Bills, Regulations of industry, Unconstitutional Power Grabs, Dismissal of Historical Laws, Changes in legislative processes, Changes in checks and balances of power etc).

So far it really seems that Freshman Senator Ted Cruz not only understands the problem, but refreshingly he also appears to understand the opposition, and how to effectively fight back against their Alinsky tactics.
MSNBC is shocked — shocked — to discover that there are Marxists on the Harvard faculty… http://t.co/fDrErEzCmt
