Everybody Protests Obama at Chicago Fundraiser: Right, Left, and in Between Protesters from all sides of the political spectrum protested President Obama on Wednesday evening outside a fundraiser he attended for the DCCC in Chicago. Not only is the president wildly unpopular with the right, he also seems to be losing his flare with the radical left. However, no one seems to be calling the left-wing protesters racists like the Tea Party was for protesting the president early in his first term. At Wednesday's protests outside the Chicago Hilton, pro-life groups lined Michigan Ave. with giant images of aborted children, standing alongside protesters from the Sierra Club against the Keystone Pipeline, illegal aliens calling for open borders, anarchists against the police state, communists against freedom, independent veterans who are fed up with the Obama regime, and even a group of Native Americans singing and chanting. I spoke with some of the nearly 200 protesters on hand, although ...

 PATRIOTUPDATE.COM 4 Hours Ago Why is the Benghazi military story still classified? In a previous post, I wrote that even as the public learns details of what happened in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the American facility in Benghazi, the story of what the U.S. military did, and did not, do to aid Americans under attack remains classified. Key details about what manned and unmanned aircraft were in the region, the actions of various emergency response forces, and the deliberations of commanders from the ground up are a U.S. government secret. Pentagon officials have shared some of that information with House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon and a few others, but only in classified briefings. Some military experts have suggested the amount of classification is excessive, but the lid remains on. So, why is so much about Benghazi classified? A few days ago I ran a theory past a well-informed Capitol Hill source. Why is the Benghazi military sto...

Now, Mayor Bloomberg is a very bright guy, but no one is ever going to accuse him of modesty. And he's been extremely vocal about gun control. Bloomberg put $12 million behind an ad buy pushing for tighter regulations. Bloomberg's ads have run in 13 states and target both Democratic and Republican senators who Bloomberg apparently believes did not listen to their constituents during the gun votes.

 PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 2 Hours Ago Daily Telegraph Poll: 84% Want Repeal Of UK Handgun Ban by  Jake Hammer Jun 1, 2013Jake Hammer Examiner : An overwhelming majority of British citizens want their country's handgun ban repealed, according to the results of an on-line  poll conducted by the Daily Telegraph , described Wednesday as the United Kingdom's "most widely read broadsheet newspaper" by the Commentator. As this column was updated Thursday, more than 14,900 votes had been cast in the unscientific poll, and of those, 12,603 support a repeal of the 1997 gun ban, an 84.35 percent vote. It far out-distanced votes for several other measures that Britons would like to see introduced in the House of Commons, according to the newspaper. For anti-gunners on both sides of the Atlantic, it is a devastating rejection of the gun ban philosophy. The ban was enacted following the Dunblane school massacre. The Commentator noted, "While gun crime soared after the Briti...

 TEAPARTYNATION.COM 5 Hours Ago Another business to ignore by  Harry Kostner Conservatives need to be intelligent shoppers.  Not only do we need to find the best deals to make our dollars go further, we also need to use our marketplace power to make sure that companies that fight against conservatism and our rights do not receive the benefits of our patronage. There is one big store we should ignore right now.  This is one store that conservatives should not shop at. What is that store and why should we not shop there? The store is Staples office supplies. Yes, that big red, office supply big box store that is pretty ubiquitous. Why should conservatives not shop there?

 WEASELZIPPERS.US 5 Hours Ago Los Angeles Salesman Pays $32,400 To Lobby Obama For Two Minutes Pay to play. (USA TODAY)  — A Los Angeles car salesman and electric car advocate is shelling $32,400 out of his retirement savings so he can make a pitch directly to President Obama at a "private, off-the-record" Democratic fundraiser next week. Paul Scott, 60, says he isn't a rich guy. He's a $50,000-a-year Nissan salesman who plans to rub elbows with 24 bigwigs in a private luncheon that he says will put a crimp in his retirement plans. But he says the goal is worthwhile. He wants to make a few points to Obama about on how to better support electric cars — a cause that Obama already embraces — and thought the private audience would be fine way to do it. So when a soliciation came for the fundraiser, Scott says he was told that he's get a chance sometime over the luncheon to offer his advice directly to the President. "That was something I had to confirm before I w...

 BREITBART.COM 4 Hours Ago How Did the Educated Become So Ignorant? by  AWR Hawkins 1 Jun 2013, 3:41 PM PDT post a comment And these blank stares can be between the educated just as easily as they can be between the uneducated. In fact, when it comes to U.S. history, one couldn't be blamed for asking how the educated in this country became so ignorant. This ignorance was birthed when radicals like Saul Alinsky, William Ayers, and their comrades struck out against our education system in the late 1960s and early 70s. As a result, it's now commonplace for a college freshman to know many ways to prove that all cultures are equal, but very few examples of what Thomas Jefferson or John Adams contributed to the founding of our nation.  The posterity of Alinsky and Ayers have carried this war against education into the 21st century, poisoning graduate studies with a bait and switch tactic; history students study the various methods of studying history but rarely study history it...

CHARLES, Mo. – Efforts at the national and state level to pass new gun-control laws have stirred up an unintended backlash – local officials who are not only rejecting the new legislation, but actively "nullifying" gun-control laws already in place.

 WEASELZIPPERS.US 3 Hours Ago Dem Governors Whine: Rick Perry Is Trying To Take All Of Our Jobs If you were a business owner, where would you rather do business, high taxes and regulatory hell California or low taxes and low regulation Texas? Via  Politico : Gov. Rick Perry's high-profile efforts to lure jobs to Texas from other states may be good business and smart politics back home, but they're infuriating to prominent Democrats around the country. Perry's forceful recruitment campaigns, featuring radio and magazine ads as well as personal appearances, promise low-tax, pro-growth policies in Texas —and they also trash the business climate in places like California ("…I hear building a business in California is next to impossible") and Illinois ("…an environment that, intentionally or not, is designed for you to fail.") Those attacks hit where it hurts and have touched off an angry political backlash against Perry outside the Texas borders, with Democr...
