THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.” -George Orwell

THE LEFT'S ARROGANT, ANTI-SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE



Charles Krauthammer on Interior Secretary Sally Jewell saying "I hope there are no climate change deniers in the Department of Interior."
No, it's not totalitarian, but it is shockingly arrogant and anti-scientific. The idea that science is closed, that science is settled and that anybody who brings evidence or questions is somehow a flat-earther is appalling.
Freeman Dyson, who is one of the great physicists of our time, he's a climate skeptic, he has more IQ in his pinky than the entire political echelon of the EPA put together, and they are saying this man is a scientific illiterate? The entire idea of science is that you are open to contrary evidence, it is the definition of a scientific theory. And particularly, climate science which is young, it's new, built on all kinds of assumptions, and data which contradicts each other -- the idea that it is a closed issue is incredibly unscientific and arrogant and that these bureaucrats and political hacks are decreeing this, I think is scandalous.

OBAMA'S APPROVAL RATINGS IN FREE FALL



A new CNN poll provides the sharpest evidence yet that a month of scandals (IRS, Benghazi, AP, leaks, etc.) is taking its toll on Obama's approval rating.
The president's approval rating stands at 45%, down from 53% in mid-May. And 54% say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his job, up nine points from last month. It's the first time in CNN polling since November 2011 that a majority of Americans have had a negative view of the president.
"The drop in Obama's support is fueled by a dramatic 17-point decline over the past month among people under 30, who, along with black Americans, had been the most loyal part of the Obama coalition," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
The president also dropped 10 points among independent voters, from 47% last month to 37% now, with Obama's disapproval among independents jumping 12 points to 61%.
The full pdf of the data is here.

 The data indicates that 60% disapprove of how Obama is handling government surveillance of U.S. citizens, which is higher than the 52% who disapproved of George W. Bush on the same issue in 2006, when government surveillance was also in the headlines.

 Obama's lack of character, finally, is beginning to be recognized and penalized.  The number of Americans who think he is honest has plummeted nine points over the past month, to 49%. Fifty-seven percent of those questioned say they disagree with the president's views on the size and power of the federal government, and 53% say he cannot manage the government effectively.

 Everybody knows that Obama had it easy when he came into office in terms of repudiating Bush's ideas (he was given a Nobel peace prize simply for not being Bush), but he had much bigger ambitions than that. He has dedicated much of his rhetorical firepower to debunking the message of the Reagan presidency - that government is too big, and that big government often creates bigger problems than it solves. 

This poll suggests that the abuse of power and multiple failures of the Obama regime are providing confirmation that Reagan was right all along.

REALLY CHARLIE RANGEL? REALLY??



Harlem's shame, the disgraced Charlie Rangel (D-NY), is suing Speaker John Boehner and six other lawmakers, alleging problems with the House ethics investigation that led to his censure in 2010.

In a complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington, Rangel alleges "numerous, flagrant, knowing and intentional violations" of his due process  rights.
The lawsuit names Boehner; Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who was chairwoman of the House ethics committee at the time of the censure; and other committee members and staff. The congressman alleges that evidence was withheld by the committee staff.
The lawsuit doesn't allege any wrongdoing by Boehner. Democrats controlled the chamber and the ethics panel at the time of Rangel's censure. In the complaint, Rangel named Boehner as a defendant because he says it would be up to Boehner to purge the censure from the Congressional Record.
In December 2010, the House voted 333-79 to censure Rangel for multiple ethical misdeeds - including failing to pay taxes for 17 years on rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic and soliciting donations from companies with business before the Ways and Means Committee while he was chairman. The donations were going to a center being built in Rangel's honor at the City College of New York.
Censure is the most serious punishment, short of expulsion, that Congress can impose on one of its own members. Rangel became the first congressman in nearly three decades to be publicly rebuked in such a fashion.
It was a stunning fall for Rangel, who has spent more than four decades in Congress and once chaired the powerful tax-writing committee. He had lost the chairmanship earlier in 2010 in a separate ethics case involving accepting corporate-funded trips to the Caribbean in violation of House rules.
It really should have happened sooner.  Only the fact that Nancy Pelosi was Speaker kept him out of trouble for so long.  Both the New York Times and the New York Post were reporting on his shady dealings in 2008.  But even Pelosi could cover for him only so long.  Rangel doesn't claim that he is innocent, just that he was smeared by his colleagues.
Rangel's lawyer also states that the Harlem lawmaker's due process rights were violated under the Constitution and that the U.S. District Court of D.C. has a responsibility to decide on the case.

"The court cannot, under the circumstances described above, leave undisturbed and without adequate remedy, a plaintiff who has been knowingly, intentionally and willfully denied his right to due process, the protection of his other fundamental rights and his protected liberty interest, where the House has been purposefully misled as described herein: he must have this court to repair to, in order to vindicate his constitutional rights," Rangel's complaint states.
Naturally he's the victim of a conspiracy, not his own greed.

Apparently he believes that his numerous, flagrant, knowing and intentional violations of federal and state tax laws should not have been subject to censure.  This is the problem with a thoroughly corrupt politician who is not held accountable by his constituency.  He is a joke, but nobody is laughing.

MEET THE LIBERAL ELITE



*This video was created in 2010. There's been some flip-flopping on the issue of homosexual marriage since then.

ON THE SMUG SIDE OF HISTORY
A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is "gay marriage." The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of "genderless" marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its "inevitability" is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it.
According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done. Like a paid-off ref who calls a game in the second quarter for the trailing team, the Post declares that no "matter how the high court rules later this year on California’s Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, one thing is already clear: The political debate over gay marriage is over."
Beltway pundits, whose powers of clairvoyance didn't even extend to the Romney race, are supplying reporters with the sort of quotes they want to hear about how the "tide" is irreversible. "Quite literally, the opposition to gay marriage is dying off," pronounces columnist George Will, whose last great prediction was that Romney would win in a 321-217 landslide.
It is curious that bow-tied classicists are now taking their moral cues from college students. What repositories of wisdom youth have suddenly become. Here is one recent headline, which captures our teen-besotted moment perfectly, "Portman's Gay Son: Dad’s a Good Man and I'm Proud of Him."
One would think George Will, given all his throat-clearing about the preservation of Western civilization, might feel some embarrassment at seconding this pathetic culture in which college students provide moral tutorials to their mothers and fathers on how tots don't need mothers and fathers.

ARE LIBERALS PATRIOTIC?



LIZ CHENEY: REPUBLICANS, GET OVER THE 2012 LOSS - AND START FIGHTING BACK
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well-taught lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free."

—Ronald Reagan, March 30, 1961

In the face of this reality, it is time for Republicans to get over their loss in 2012. We are all that stands between this president's policies and a damaged and diminished America. It is time to get back in the fight.
And I do mean fight. Republicans are being counseled to move the party to the left, but in my experience, those who advocate more liberal policies for the GOP are wrongheaded or Democrats, or both. You can be sure that President Obama would welcome an America in which the Republican Party is preoccupied with remaking itself into a watered-down version of the Democrats.
It is time to defend our values with vigor and courage. We are conservatives. We believe in limited government, low taxes, a strong national defense, individual freedoms, self-reliance, the importance of the family, and the miracle and authority of America's founding documents. We know that government is best that governs least and governs closest to the people. We know that the private sector is the engine of economic growth. We know that America is the exceptional nation, the best that has ever existed. We know that the men and women who wear the uniform of the U.S. military are the greatest fighting force and the greatest force for good that the world has ever known.
We know that preventing this president from enacting devastating policies is not obstructionism. It is patriotism.
The miracle of the Constitution resides to a large extent in the first three words, "We the People," placing sovereignty with us, not with our rulers. We are the inheritors of these blessings of liberty, and it is our solemn duty to fight for, protect and defend our freedom. Now is the time to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and man the barricades for freedom.
