AGAIN! Obama-Clinton State Dept – Israel has no capital, we don’t recognize Jerusalem

If this creep gets a second term Israel is in deep, deep doodoo.

Weekly Standard – The State Department today again refused to name the capital of Israel, even after being questioned by the press and even after the Democratic party (President Obama’s party) voted yesterday to add language to its platform stating that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Here’s the remarkable exchange from today’s press briefing, with reporters and press secretary Patrick Ventrell:

QUESTION: On Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: Yeah.

QUESTION:Which city does the U.S. Government recognize as the capital in the – Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: Well, as you know, longstanding Administration policy, both in this Administration and in previous administrations across both parties, is that the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. So that’s longstanding Administration policy and continues to be so.

QUESTION: I mean, no city is recognized as a capital by the U.S. Government?

MR. VENTRELL: Again, I just stated our position, and it’s one we’ve said here many times before.

QUESTION: That means Jerusalem is not a part of Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: What it means is that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved in final status negotiations.

QUESTION: But you do have an Embassy in a city which is not Jerusalem.

MR. VENTRELL: Our Embassy is in Tel Aviv, and we have a Consulate General in Jerusalem.

QUESTION: Right. But I mean, if you have an Embassy, usually it’s in the capital; so therefore, it would appear that you believe that Tel Aviv is the capital.

MR. VENTRELL: What we believe is that the status of Jerusalem should be determined in final status negotiations between the two parties. And currently, our Embassy is in Tel Aviv.

QUESTION: Are there any other countries in the world where the U.S. doesn’t know what the capital is or won’t say what the capital of a country is?

QUESTION: What does the U.S. think the capital of Israel is? What do you –

MR. VENTRELL: As I’ve just said, we believe that the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status –

QUESTION: I’m not asking you that question. I’m asking you what you think the capital is.

MR. VENTRELL: And my response is that Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations.

QUESTION: She didn’t ask about Jerusalem, though.

MR. VENTRELL: Look, this is something we’ve been through at this podium. Toria has been through it before. We’ve repeated it many times. You know that the position is. It hasn’t changed for decades.

QUESTION: Wait, I know that. And I don’t want to play the verbal game, I’m just very curious if you actually have a position about a capital of that country. And if you don’t, if – I just would like to hear you say you don’t.

MR. VENTRELL: Well, right now, Nicole –

QUESTION: Yes.

MR. VENTRELL: – the situation is that we have an Embassy in Tel Aviv that represents our interests with the Government of Israel but that the issue of Jerusalem is one that has to be resolved between the two parties. That’s all I can say on this.

Anything else? Thank you.

Video: Peter Schiff at Dem convention – Hey, let’s ban corporate profits! Democrats readily agree

The Marxicrats show their true face.

Heh.

Sep 5, 2012 by – Posing as an anti-business crusader, Peter Schiff found a number of DNC delegates and attendees who support explicitly outlawing profitability. We deliberately avoided speaking with the occupy protestors camping outside in tents to get a more “mainstream” Democratic perspective!

Video: Despite majority of Democrat delegates vociferously disapproving, God and Jerusalem reinstated into Dem platform

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic. The Democrats are in full meltdown now. The party is imploding before our eyes. Watch the video and you clearly see that the delegates opposed putting God and Jerusalem back into the platform. When the guy lied and said the ‘yays’ had it, the delegates booed and hissed. This is the modern Democrat party. Radical to their Marxist, Israel-hating core.

Jerusalem Language Deleted To Reflect Obama Policy

Video: Busted! – DNC’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz caught lying about Israeli Ambassador Oren

What a repulsive little liar.

Rightscoop – Debbie Wasserman Schultz looked Fox News host Shepard Smith in the eye and said that she never made the follow statement:

“We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.”

She said that the conservative newspaper misquoted her and doesn’t surprise her.

But Philip Klein with the Washington Examiner, who originally reported it, has audio to back up his claim and I’ve compiled a short version of it into the video below that leaves no doubt:

Audio: Rush Limbaugh – Democrats ‘officially the party of death and taxes’

Two things Democrats can never get enough of – stealing your money and killing the unborn. And to steal your money to pay for the killing of babies, especially black babies, well, for Democrats that’s pure Utopia. Liberalism, it’s a mental disease.

Trailer: Ayn Rand & the Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged

And so it was. And so it is.

Nearly every socialist flake, drone, and twit characterized in Atlas Shrugged can be found today in the Democrat party and its media, as well as among Republican RINOs.

Via Moonbattery – No one who has witnessed Hopey & Change or the decades of decay that laid the groundwork for it can deny that Ayn Rand was right: See the Facebook page for where to watch the whole movie online.

by – SPECIAL SCREENING EVENT JANUARY 17! Get tickets at http://atlasshrugged-thedoc.com Ayn Rand & the Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged is a feature length documentary film that examines the resurging interest in Ayn Rand’s epic and controversial 1957 novel and the validity of its dire prediction for America.

Set in what novelist and philosopher Rand called ‘the day after tomorrow,’ Atlas depicts an America in crisis, brought to her knees by a corrupt establishment of government regulators and businessmen with political pull.

Despite critical scorn and continued derision from intellectuals on all sides of the ideological spectrum Atlas has remained a popular favorite and today sells more copies than it ever did.

Why? Because – as evidenced by pointed and frequent references to Rand and Atlas Shrugged in the media — an increasing number of Americans — right or wrong — see their society devolving into a nightmare scenario like the one Rand projected over a half century ago.

Ayn Rand and the Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged looks into Rand’s background for the ideas and philosophy that inspired and shaped her novel and seeks to determine whether America is indeed headed for the disastrous outcome she predicted.

To vote with the modern Democrat party is to be a member of a cult. No thinking person would want to be associated with these hate-filled miscreants.

Aug 16, 2012 by — Four years ago, President Obama ran on ‘hope and change,’ promising to be a different kind of politician, but now his reelection is based on anger and division.

Rasmussen: Voters by 5-to-1 margin believe that America’s media is in Democrat’s pocket

Are Americans finally waking up to the enemedia? It is the only thing that can save us.

Washington Secrets: (h/t Weasel Zippers) – Likely voters, by a five-to-one margin, believe that America’s media is in President Obama’s pocket and will treat his candidacy better than challenger Mitt Romney’s as the election nears, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll.

The startling numbers point to an even more disturbing trend for the media: Reporters just aren’t trusted to deliver the news in an unbiased fashion. The proof: Rasmussen found that when it comes to information about the presidential campaign, 48 percent of likely voters trust friends and family while just 26 percent trust reporters.

The poll of 1,000 was conducted August 9-10 before many more tuned in to the campaign when Romney chose Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate. Since then, many cable reporters and pundits have vocally assailed Ryan.

The poll found that 59 percent of likely voters believe that the media has given Obama better treatment than Romney, a view Team Obama doesn’t agree with. Just 18 percent believe the media has treated Romney better.

Huma Abedin and her unemployed Wiener move into sprawling $3.3M Manhattan apt.

Liberals are paracites, plain and simple.

Being a part of America’s 5th column has its benefits. It’s all in the fine tradition of Democrat hypocrisy. They despise “the rich” and yet sponge off of their wealth every chance they get. In return, the Liberal elite expect big favors, which Democrats are always happy to deliver.

Neither Weiner nor Muslim Brotherhood plant Huma Abedin ever spent a day in the private sector. All their earnings and goodies have come either from the sweat of American taxpayers or donations from mysterious benefactors. If the IRS weren’t pre-occupied tormenting conservatives, they’d probably have a field day with these two quislings.

NY Post – Anthony Weiner’s wife not only took him back, she took him back in style — moving with the shamed pol into a luxurious, $3.3 million Manhattan pad owned by a deep-pocketed Democratic donor, The Post has learned.

After quitting his Queens House seat amid a notorious sexting scandal, Weiner and beautiful, brainy spouse Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, landed in the sprawling, 12th-floor Park Avenue trophy residence owned by Rosen Partners LLC, which is headed by close Clinton pal Jack Rosen, records show.

Rosen — who oversees the American Jewish Congress — is an influential international political force. He’s been a guest at the White House, flies the Clintons in his private plane, and has poured money into both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s election campaigns over the years, according to campaign-finance records.

He has also contributed several thousand dollars to Weiner’s coffers, and is a top Obama bundler, donating more than $500,000 to the president’s re-election efforts.

The market-rate rent on Weiner and Abedin’s 2,120-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment — where the disgraced pol has said he spends his days doing laundry and changing baby son Jordan’s diapers — is at least $12,000 to $14,000 a month, real-estate sources said.

A much smaller 1,476-square-foot, two-bedroom unit on a lower floor recently rented for $10,000, records show.

Some Weiner-watchers are stunned that the pol, who gave up his $174,000 salary when he resigned, and Huma, who makes around $155,000 annually, can afford the posh pad at 254 Park Ave. South at East 20th Street.

“It’s a ridiculously expensive place,” said a top Democratic fund-raising source with deep ties to the Clintons.

“Everyone assumes they live there for free, thanks to a donor, a friend of Bill and Hillary, or even just someone with an empty place who is connected,” the source said.

But Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines insisted that Weiner and Abedin pay “market rate’’ for the pad.

“They are a two-income family and are more than capable of paying their market-rate rent,” he said, declining to disclose exactly what the couple pays.

Weiner hasn’t landed steady work since leaving office, according to sources. But some friends of the onetime rising star said he has consulting work and will have no problem exceeding his congressional salary.

Federal officials such as Abedin face restrictions on receiving gifts and must disclose their financial dealings to ensure that their decision-making isn’t compromised by private interests.

As one of Hillary’s key confidantes, Abedin is in a position where she could exert considerable influence on America’s top diplomat. Continue reading

Video: Col. Allen West punches back at racist Democrat attack ad

Liberals/Progressives, having no shame what-so-ever, think they can get away with anything. And because the media will always back them up, they usually do.

Aug 6, 2012 by – Is there a left tilt to the media’s coverage of the news? If there is, can it be proven? And if it can be proven, can the consequences be quantified in a meaningful way? Acclaimed UCLA Professor of Political Science and Economics, Tim Groseclose, has the startling answers in this new Prager University course. Whatever you do, don’t miss his final conclusion.

Progressive jackass Adam M. Smith fired for bullying Chick-Fil-A employee

The guy is a smug, self-righteous prick, but I don’t think he should have been fired over it. In America you have the freedom to make an ass out of yourself. This is the inevitable result of Progressives’s incessant cramming of political correctness down America’s throat. It has left the entire nation on edge and walking on egg shells.

A short while ago Adam’s employer Vante released this statement. (via Gateway Pundit)

Adam Smith was fired.

The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith’s actions against Vante and its employees.

Update: I’m in good company with my lack of enthusiasm for the creep’s firing:

Video: Glenn Beck interviews Jonah Goldberg on GBTV about book “Tyranny of Cliches”

Great book by the way.

Jun 27, 2012 by – Glenn Beck sat down with Jonah Goldberg on GBTV (soon to be “The Blaze TV”) talking about his new book “The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas”

The bestselling author of Liberal Fascism dismantles the progressive myths that are passed-off as wisdom in our schools, media and politics.

According to Jonah Goldberg, if the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, the greatest trick liberals ever pulled was convincing themselves that they’re not ideological.

EU ruling – Workers who get sick on vacation legally entitled to a do-over

Good grief. Surely, Mary Poppins wouldn’t have gone for this, but a Nanny State, that’s quite another kettle of socialists.

Breitbart – The European Union is on the brink of collapse, and a ruling by Europe’s highest court may accelerate this process.

The Court of Justice of the European Union, according to the New York Times, “ruled that workers who happened to get sick on vacation were legally entitled to take another vacation.”

No joke.

Europeans enjoy the four to six weeks of vacation they are guaranteed annually. After this ruling, which applies to all 27 countries in the European Union, workers who get sick on their vacations can add those days to their legally entitled vacation days.

It does not take a rocket scientist to see how this ruling can be exploited by people to increase the number of vacations days they get ( worst-case scenario – for employers – workers could probably exploit this rule to double their vacation time).

Article 24 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.”

The late Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Ronald Reagan’s Ambassador to the U.N., once said the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was like “a letter to Santa Claus,” and European workers just got many more goodies (vacation days).

Popular Oregon professor fired for daring to question phony man-made global warming

This demonstrates the fascistic nature of both academia and science today. They have become politicized beyond redemption, and because of it real, true progress will suffer. The entire environmentalcase movement is about nothing more that empowering the State, pushing Marxism, and stealing your freedom. It’s green on the outside, bloody red on the inside.

Daily Caller – Oregon State University chemistry professor Nicholas Drapela was fired without warning three weeks ago and has still been given no reason for the university’s decision to “not renew his contract.”

Drapela, an outspoken critic of man-made climate change, worked at the university for 10 years.

In the early years of his career, he published a number of textbooks, received a promotion to senior instructor and, in 2004, received a Loyd F. Carter award for outstanding and inspirational teacher.

In 2007, Drapela began giving talks on his own climate change skepticism. He often and openly questioned the science behind man-made global warming.

Drapela told the Daily Caller he was “blindsided” when the department chair called Drapela into his office to fire him on May 29.

“He read a prepared statement and took my key,” Drapela said, adding that he was given no reason in this meeting as to why he was being let go.

The timing of the termination was odd because Oregon State University was still in session, with finals approaching.  (more >>>)

9 Palestinians face death penalty for selling property to Jews, “traitors” hunted down by European NGOs

The Left’s hatred for Jews is so absolute that they spend millions to hunt down Arabs who sell any land to Jews by their own free will. It can be argued that the greatest obstacle to peace today is not the Fakestinians, but Leftists who go out their way to create resentment and stir up trouble.

(Honestreporting.com) – At least 16 Palestinians are sitting in PA prison for selling property to Jews, and nine of them face the death penalty. Even more explosively, several non-governmental organizations appear to be complicit in the hunt for the “traitors.” Aaron Klein (via Elder of Ziyon) reports:

The PA sources told KleinOnline that the Palestinian government recently formed a unit with a $2.7 million yearly budget to investigate property sales to Jews as well as any Jewish communities, outposts or military bases that may be sitting on Arab-owned land. The unit works with nongovernmental organizations, including European-funded NGOs.

The number of Palestinians imprisoned for land sales to Jews is much larger than previous reported . . . .

Over the years, scores of Palestinians have been put to death in judicial and extrajudicial killings after being accused of land sales to Jews.

Imagine the outrage if A) Israel did this B) with help from NGOs C) funded by European countries that oppose capital punishment.

NY Lib principal bans singing of God Bless the USA, “We don’t want to offend other cultures”

Why do Liberals hate America so much? (rhetorical)

A few years ago she tried to end the tradition of students reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing ‘America the Beautiful’. Staff objected and she was forced to back down.

She has in the past been called a tyrant and bully by staffers and was reprimanded in 2010 by the Department of Education after complaints arose that she had called the school racist. ‘I’m black. Your previous principal was white and Jewish. More of us are coming,’ she is alleged to have said.

NY POST (via Weasel Zippers) – A controversial Coney Island principal has pulled the plug on patriotism.

Her refusal to let students sing “God Bless the USA” at their graduation has sparked fireworks at a school filled with proud immigrants.

Greta Hawkins has banned ‘God Bless the USA’ from being sung at graduation

Greta Hawkins, principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, won’t allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved Lee Greenwood ballad, also known as “Proud to be an American,” at their moving-up ceremony.

Five classes spent months learning the patriotic song, which skyrocketed in popularity after the 9/11 attacks and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

It was to be the rousing finale of their musical show at the June 20 commencement. The kids, dressed up for their big day, would wave tiny American flags — which, as the lyrics proclaim, “still stand for freedom.”

But Hawkins marched in on a recent rehearsal and ordered a CD playing the anthem to be shut off, staffers said.

She told the teachers to drop the song from the program.

“We don’t want to offend other cultures,” they quoted her as explaining.

The curt edict stunned both staff and parents.

“A lot of people fought to move to America to live freely, so that song should be sung with a whole lot of pride,” said mom Luz Lozada, whose son, Daniel, is in kindergarten.

Top Obama Official boasts about the EPA’s deliberate destruction of the coal industry

The EPA ought to be declared a member of the axis of evil and disbanded, never to poison America’s future again. The EPA has never been about creating energy. From its inception, it saw its role as limiting energy and doing all it can to erase America’s economic leadership.

(Gateway Pundit) – A top Obama EPA official discussed the Obama Administration’s plan to destroy the coal industry at a recent Yale University gathering of environmentalists.

EPA Region 1 Administrator Curt Spalding told the Yale University gathering, “Lisa Jackson has put forth a very powerful message to the country,” that “if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem.” Spalding went on to explain that the decision was “painful” because “you got to remember if you go to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and all those places, you have coal communities who depend on coal. And to say that we just think those communities should just go away, we can’t do that. But she had to do what the law and policy suggested. And it’s painful. It’s painful every step of the way.

This is the second video in a series revealing the truth about the Obama-EPA’s extreme agenda to kill fossil fuels.

Lib derangement: Cher – “I don’t know if I can breathe the same air as Romney” and his ‘racist homophobic women hating tea bagger masters’

Do all of America a favor and don’t even try.

There are clueless Liberals, and then there are the Hollywood Liberals that make them look almost rational.

Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy – Shut the windows! Seal the doors! The air has “tea bagger” cooties!

Some celebs have threatened to move to Canada if elections don’t go their way, but that might not be far enough away for Cher. Can she ever be certain she’s not breathing air that passed through the noses and mouths of Romney and his evil puppeteers?

Anyone else curious how Cher decides what words deserve the all caps treatment? Seems a little haphazard, but since we’re not out of our minds with ignorant RAGE, maybe we’re not seeing the method to her madness.

Video: The Life of Julia/Julian

A parody of Obama’s latest Goebbelsesque propaganda campaign where he invents an American drone named ‘Julia,’ and then fantasizes her life under Democrat-styled Marxism, where all her needs are met by the State from age 3 to 67. In contrast, website argues that under a Romney administration, poor Julia would be condemned to a life of abject misery thanks to evil, racist Republicans.

This video presents another take, and is a lot closer to the truth.

Video: Anarchy 101 – How Wisconsin’s Left Embraces Chaos

The video explains how the Left uses chaos and violence to push their radical platform.

h/t Gateway Pundit

EAGnews.org has produced an exclusive video report disclosing who and what were behind the massive demonstrations, the occupation of the Capitol in Madison, and extreme tactics employed to stop Walker’s reforms from being enacted.

Titled “Anarchy 101: How Wisconsin’s Left Embraces Chaos,” the report takes us through the protests, legal challenges and subsequent recall efforts of 2011 and 2012. It features Brett Healy and Brian Fraley of the MacIver Institute, Collin Roth of Media Trackers, an unidentified citizen journalist on the ground for many of the protests, and State Sen. Alberta Darling, a target of death threats, intimidation tactics, and a failed recall attempt last year.

It also features two teachers, including Kenosha’s Kristi Lacroix, and a school board member who would not be silenced by the radicals’ intimidation tactics and spoke to EAGnews about the benefits of Scott Walker’s reforms.
