Do It Anyway

Someone to keep an eye out for

As things get closer to Super Tuesday there is one person who has remained relatively quiet.   Watch out for any endorsement or nuanced position to judge the establishment positioning going forward….

He has been embroiled in some of his own controversy lately with pardons issued from his office as he exits his position as Mississippi governor but Haley Barbour is the consummate Establishment Class DC insider.   As former head of the RGA, a seriously appreciated George W Bush ally, and having spent massive amounts of time as a highly effective K-Street lobbyist for the ruling class, ‘Boss Hog’ carries a big stick and major clout in Ruling Class circles.

Bumper Sticker Of The Day…

Syria says Assad won a second 16-year term by an overwhelming 89.4 percent of the vote, however experts note that voter turn-out was low

Apparently bombs, artillery, and hailstorms of bullets massacring people to shreds has a propensity to diminish turnout.  Go figure..  But for todays menu of semi-hilarious propaganda we turn to the recent Syrian election.

SYRIA – Stopping themselves short of 100 percent, Syrian television reports that 89.4 percent of Syrians approved the new constitution proposed by President Bashar al-Assad, and that 57.4 percent of the population turned up to vote. It’s hard to tell what’s more unbelievable, since that reported voter turnout is more than the percentage of Americans who voted in the 2008 Presidential Election, ignoring the impossible to ignore fact that many of Syria’s voters are relentlessly being pelted with rockets and mortars.

Great Idea Illinois – Tax Gun Owners For Gang Violence

 An Illinois lawmaker wants gun owners to shell out extra taxes in order to finance a new grant program for trauma centers, a move firearms advocacy groups say amounts to a “sin tax” on law-abiding hunters and target shooters.

State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, in a bill introduced earlier this month, proposed a 2 percent surtax on ammunition. The proceeds would go toward a “high-crime trauma center grant fund,” which would then send the tax money to trauma centers in “high-crime areas.”

The idea is to begin to offset the high cost of gun violence. Mark Walsh, campaign director for the Illinois Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, told FoxNews.com that cost often ends up being shouldered by these urban trauma centers.  (more…)

What Happened To My Cross?

Some U.S. servicemen are up in arms after a large cross was removed from outside a chapel on a military base in northern Afghanistan. The base, called Camp Marmal, is German and hosts NATO forces. The chapel in question is an interfaith house of worship that is overseen by the U.S. Army.

Soldiers say that they felt comfort as a result of having the cross visible from the outside of the chapel. In an e-mail to Politico, one serviceman said, “Sometimes the Church and the ability to openly express religious views ultimately gets people through the deployments over here.”

According to this particular soldier, when he asked a chaplain what had happened to the cross, he was told that it needed to be taken down. The faith leader, however, didn’t share any additional information on the matter.

“We are here away from our families, and the chapel is the one place that feels like home,” added another service member. “With the cross on the outside, it is a constant reminder for all of us that Jesus is here for us.” Story at The Blaze.

Cronyism and Symantics Obama Style…. Campaigning?, huh, what campaigning?

Obama Urges UAW Union Goons To “Fight” For Him  Prepare for the skull cracking.

“Folks who had lost their hope because the steel plants are closed down. I didn’t like the idea that they didn’t have anybody fighting for them. Same reason I got into this business is the same reason I’m here today. I’m driven by that same belief. That everybody, everybody should deserve a chance. So I promise you this, as long as you have got an ounce of fight left in you, I’ll have a ton of fight left in me,”

So having heard that White House press secretary Jay Carney is asked about it. (more…)
