(LA Weekly) Forty-three-year-old Andrew Breitbart’s shocking death in Westwood last night came just days before he was set to unveil a mysterious new project — one he hoped would mark “a transition into a different kind of journalism,” says Joel Pollack, head of Breitbart’s blog empire.
For the last several months, “this has been Andrew’s obsession,” says Pollack. “He was working incredibly hard.”
But the dream won’t die with the man: (more…)

It was intentional hyperbole that Rush was using to poke fun of the socialistic style Obama-Volt, not that he actually thought GM was trying to kill its customers.   But it is unintentional hyperbole the institutional left is using to blame Limbaugh for the lay-off of 1,500 Volt builders.   Unintentional because unlike Rush the institutional leftists really believe their claim.    Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.
(ThinkProgress) Relentless attacks on the Chevy Volt from Rush Limbaugh and Republican politicians have taken their toll, as General Motors has announced a five-week suspension in production of the range-extended electric car. Conservative enemies of clean energy and the Obama administration seized on isolated reports Volts with battery fires, calling the cars “Obama-mandated death traps.” Limbaugh even said GM was a “corporation that’s trying to kill its customers.”

These conspiracy-tinged partisan attacks have now cost American jobs, with 1300 workers temporarily laid off in the face of lower than expected demand for the innovative cars, even as gas prices rise. In January, GM CEO Dan Akerson bemoanedthe effect of the barrage of ideological criticism on the popularity of the 37 – 93 mpg car: (more…)

Hoax and Chains – Despite GE mandating its employees to drive Chevy Volts, and despite the administration increasing the tax credit to $15,000, the car that signifies the Obama presidency is just not selling.   I have outlined numerous times the backlog of inventory in the supply chain from the plant, to the holding lot, and the dealerships.   The entire narrative of success in this undertaking is smoke and mirrors.   Total fabrication.
(DFP) — General Motors has told 1,300 employees at its Detroit Hamtramck that they will be temporarily laid off for five weeks as the company halts production of the Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera.

“Even with sales up in February over January, we are still seeking to align our production with demand,” said GM spokesman Chris Lee. (more…)

The Democrat’s token abused 23 year old college coed is actually a 30 year-old hardcore women’s rights activist.   Sandra Fluke is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.

Jammie Wearing Fool reports:  For me the interesting part of the story is the ever-evolving “coed”.  I put that in quotes because in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women’s right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend, and seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services,  she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy.

You really need to read the entire article to appreciate this. It covers rulings in England regarding the very definition of who is Jewish, to countries in Europe where kosher slaughter is banned. 
Today it is contraception and the morning-after pill. Tomorrow it will be kosher slaughter, or matrilineal descent, or circumcision, or other matters of existential importance to Jewish observance. If the Obama administration gets away with forcing Catholic institutions to step across lines of life and death in the name of “health,” the federal government will have a precedent to legislate Judaism out of existence — as several other countries have already tried to do.

Dear Friends,
Last year, I wrote a small piece about what it means to me to be a Texan. My friends know it means about damned near everything. Anyway, this fella asked me to reprint what I’d wrote and I didn’t have it. So I set out to think about rewriting something. I considered writing about all the great things I love about Texas. There are way too many things to list. I can’t even begin to do it justice. Lemme let you in on my short list.  (more…)

There are those who believe President Obama is a brilliant representative for  American interests with his Obama Doctrine  foreign policy. Those same advocates would have you believe that President Obama is taking the ‘Big Picture’ position toward energy independence.  They are incredibly naive, and unfortunately many have become cognitively dissonant.  Obviously those people are on the left of the US political spectrum and they have been cognitively numbed through years of leftist indoctrination.  They are no longer capable of applying Occam’s Razor to the logic of analysis.
Those who advance the indoctrination are, in essence, the institutional left, the radical archetypes left over from Fabian Socialists. The Saul Alinsky radicals who spawned Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn, Van Jones, Cas Sunstein, Samantha Powers and Valerie Jarrett types.   Those same minds that believe in a socialist communal approach leaning close to the line of dictatorial communism is a better approach for society.   The pie dividers, who continually decry for fairness and equality in outcomes instead of contribution.
Well if you really want to understand how destructive President Obama’s foreign policies are then read on, (more…)
