This may explain a lot of about the Left
Researchers found persistent users of the drug, who
started smoking it at school, had lower
IQ scores as adults.
They were also significantly more
likely to have attention and memory
problems in later life, than their peers who abstained. (this may explain
why Obama needs his teleprompters to make a speech).
Furthermore, those who started as
teenagers and used it heavily, but quit
as adults, did not regain their full mental powers, found academics at
King’s College London and Duke University in the US.
The Choom Gang strikes again.
Who are the real extremist?
Obama calls Romney an extremist and suddenly,
the idea that there should by any
restraint on illegal immigration is "extreme." The notion
that there should be limits to abortion
rights and to the requirement that taxpayers and religious institutions pay
for abortion is "extreme." The idea that seeking work should be a requirement for welfare is
"extreme." Any suggestion of balancing the federal budget or even of cutting the rate of growth
in federal spending is "extreme."
In other words, any statement that conflicts with those of the most liberal
administration in American history is "extreme."
Remember how Chuck Shumer was caught on a Conference Call on 3/29/11 saying “I always use the word extreme, that is what the caucus instructed me to do the other week.”
Dick Morris Poll: Romney up by 7%
On Thursday, August 23rd, Dick
Morris conducted a national survey of 500 likely voters through live telephone
interviews. The poll finds Romney ahead of Obama by 50-43! — far, far different from the published polls.
(The sample was 33% Democrat, 31% Republican, 11% black, and 8% Latino). This corresponds to what I see happening if
you take the Democratic bias out of the other polls or at least minimize it.
It this hope or change?
General Motors is halting, for a month, the manufacture of its well-known but seldom-sold Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric
car, according to trade publication Automotive News.
It would be the second interruption in production for the Volt, which can go 38
miles on battery power before needing a recharge from its gasoline engine or
via a plug-in.
Code Pink Protests
I think they came as the wrong side.
Democrats keep saying Isaac is a sign from the gods
Pump prices could jump as
much as a quarter a gallon over the next week because of oil refinery shut downs ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac,
analysts said. More than 1.1 million barrels of Gulf Coast refining capacity
was offline or being shut down Monday because of Isaac’s march toward
Louisiana. That amounts to around 6 percent of the nation’s gasoline production
capacity. Hmmm, now who do you suppose will get blamed for higher gas prices? Perhaps the Democrats are correct.
Record amount of money being spent on schools
Students
headed back to school this fall will have historically high levels of dollars
spent on them in the public school system. Nationally, average per-pupil spending exceeds $11,400 this year, meaning a child entering kindergarten today can
expect to have no less than $148,000 spent on his or her education by the
time the child graduates high school. In
all, more than $570 billion will be spent on public K-12 education this year.
All that money and our kids still
can’t speel.
What Your Bumper Sticker Says about You
A Bumper Sticker that describes what this election is all about.
Swingers
I’ve
got a new piece on the homepage about a Frank Luntz swing-voter focus group I
sat in on in Tampa yesterday. The bad
news is, America’s swing voters are mushy-minded schizos. The good news is they are breaking for
Romney.
“If
Luntz picks his swing-voter focus groups as carefully as he claims, Romney/Ryan has this whole thing sewn up.”
Switchers--Democrats not supporting Obama
RNC ad highlights Obama voters who are switching—and they are really Democrats unlike the Democrats ad on Republican
women switching to BHO.
First they came for the 1%
“First they
came…”
is a famous statement attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (
If the Democrats want to end the deficit
on tax increases they are coming for themiddle class.
Citizens United Strikes again
The left goes crazy about the effect
of Citizens United allowing unlimited
corporate and union independent political expenditures. But the real Citizens United case was about wanting to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton
and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent
violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the
McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA"). In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that
portions of BCRA §203 violated the First Amendment. This year we’ve already seen one conservative
documentary 2016 and are about to see a second one “Runaway Slave.”
Former presidential hopeful Herman Cain and other
black conservatives appear in the new documentary ‘Runaway Slave,’ which digs deeper into whether America’s growth
in entitlement programs has harmed and even “enslaved” African Americans to a
permanent welfare state.
Consumer Confidence Drops—Unexpectedly
if you are a liberal
The Conference Board,
an industry group, said its index of consumer attitudes fell to 60.6 from a downwardly revised 65.4 the month before.
Economists had expected an increase to
66, according to a Reuters poll.
It was the lowest level since
November. July was originally reported as 65.9. Of course if you are in the mainstream media
this is unexpected.
PolitiFact? Hardly.
Its recent rulings on Medicare have
demonstrated the point thrice over. PolitiFact said that Romney’s comment that Obama had “robbed” Medicare of $716 billion to
pay for Obamacare was “mostly false.” Among its reasons: “The money was not robbed in any literal
sense of the word.” So if Romney led anyone to believe that Obama had held
Medicare at gunpoint and ordered it to hand over its wallet, they can now rest
easy, because PolitiFact is on the case.
My feeling is that although PolitiFact
gives “ratings” on a Truth-o-meter, PolitiFact
doesn’t really have a Truth-o-meter in “any literal sense of the word” so I
have to give that name a “mostly false” rating.
Obama
Breaks Tradition again
Buckingtradition,
President Obama set out on a two-day
campaign swing on Tuesday, aiming to steal just a bit of the spotlight from
Republicans rallying in Tampa, Fla. He
was the first President in the post-Watergate
era to turn down government funding for his 2008 campaign after agreeing
with John McCain not to do so. Obama
only seems to follow the rules when they are stacked in his favor.
Mystery Speaker at Republican Convention
Supposedly she either turned down a
chance to speak or was snubbed (depends on your sources), but what would be a more
electrifying than having Sarah Palin
come out, given a barn burner of a speech and hold up the arms of Mitt Romney
and Paul Ryan: united, focused and ready to beat Barack Obama. I’d put my money on that one. And in her honor, I give you one of my favorite Sarah Palin quotes: “Folks,
this government isn't too big to fail; it's
too big to succeed.
Ellen Barkin—Bigot
Sunday night, the actress took some time
off from Mormon bashing to retweet a follower rooting for Tropical Storm Isaac to “wash every pro-life,
anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the
ocean!” Or as Barkin would call them, conservatives.
Kind of a shame she’s such a bigot. I always used to like her films.
