by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Have you ever read or heard so much, pardon my french, pure unadulterated buulshit?" Excerpt, Breitbart - Navi Pillay told reporters following yet another "emergency" meeting of the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council that Israel was not doing enough to protect civilians. "There is a strong possibility,” said the known Israel critic, “that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes.” Among the UN’s long bill of particulars against the beleaguered Jewish state comes the almost unbelievable accusation that Israel’s refusal to share its Iron Dome ballistic missile defense shield with the "governing authority" of Gaza – i.e. Hamas, the terror group created to pursue the extermination of the Jewish state and now waging a terrorist war against it – constitutes a war crime against the civilians of Gaza. I am reminded why I sometimes find the United Nations ...

Well, as you can expect, it’s really horrible. Al Jazeera America learned this week that they’re proposing a “shoot to kill” policy to deal with all those people (which again, includes lots of children) at the border. Reporter Robert Ray asked a KKK imperial wizard why they would ever do such a thing. He explained that the people coming to the border are “criminals” and will “continue breaking the law” when they come into the country, not to mention bringing third world diseases. Ray suggested it might be heartless to propose killing young children because of that. And here’s what t...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth There is something to be said for hard work and dedication to achieving results, even when it means schmoozing with those you disagree with and compromising when necessary. Especially when you are the leader. President Ronald Reagan and President William Jefferson Clinton knew this. So have all other effective presidents. I wonder what President Barack Obama doesn't get about the hard work and all the other stuff as well... POLITICS - President Obama does his job less often than any commander-in-chief since Grover Cleveland, who held the office in the 19th century. That’s according to Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was interviewed on MSNBC Wednesday ahead of a Republican-backed measure to sue Obama for overstepping his executive authority, especially in his unilateral actions to implement Obamacare. But in the interview, Wasserman Schultz, a US congresswoman from Florida, ...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Hamas, the terrorist organization and it's leader went on record recently stating Hamas, and by extension the Palestinian people, do not want to coexist with the state of Israel . This terrorist organization has used women and children as human shields for the purpose of pumping up civilian deaths to create world criticism and opposition to Israel's defense initiatives. And , Hamas is the entity that STARTED the current conflict in the region. Hamas does not want a permanent and lasting peace. Hamas and the Palestinians want the annihilation of the Jewish people. They, like so many other extremist adherents of the cult "faith" of Islam will not rest until they achieve the genocide they seek or are all killed trying to achieve their goal. When we see the growth of Hamas and Palestinian sympathizers in the USA, indeed the western world it is becoming increasingly obvious that Israel is perhaps the nation t...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Excerpt from NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE that highlights the reality that republicans are, and have been as supportive of crony capitalism and corporate welfare as democrats. ... If Republicans in Congress simply do nothing, the New Deal–era Export-Import Bank, which guarantees loans so that American multinationals can sell products overseas, will vanish at the end of September. Last year, the bank backed $37.4 billion in loans, loan guarantees, working-capital guarantees, and export-credit insurance, the vast majority of which went to mega-companies such as Boeing, General Electric, and Caterpillar. Despite Ex-Im’s protestations that it has programs to help women, minorities, and small businesses, the bank is essentially a form of corporate welfare for giant multinationals. As the Wall Street Journal puts it : “If a private bank won’t do an export-financing deal, why should Congress put taxpayer money at risk to clinch the de...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth If the stupid party ( republican in this instance ) had any common sense and wisdom it would just let this impeachment nonsense die. Let the dude in office continue to attend fundraisers and do what he does best... TALK . American people are not completely asleep and recent polls show that the President and his policies continues to slip. Sometimes it's just best to keep quiet and let things take their natural course. Washington (CNN) – There’s not a lot of public appetite for a Republican push to sue President Barack Obama, or for calls by some conservatives to impeach him, according to a new national survey. A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday morning also indicates that a small majority of Americans do not believe that Obama has gone too far in expanding the powers of the presidency. Earlier this month, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP's 2008 vice presidential nominee, called for Obama...

by: Les Carpenter Rational nation USA Purveyor of Truth I'm sure it was just an honest oversight. POLITICO - SAN FRANCISCO — President Barack Obama went to the West Coast to meet donors from two top Democratic super PACs, but the press wasn’t invited. Tuesday, the reporters and photographers traveling with the president on Air Force One and in his motorcade were left on the gravel path not even within sight of former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal’s house in the Seattle suburbs where Obama sat for a Senate Majority PAC fundraiser with a $25,000 entrance fee. Wednesday morning, when he met with big donors for the House Majority PAC at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown San Francisco, they weren’t even told what room or floor he was on. “We think these fundraisers ought to be open to at least some scrutiny, because the president’s participation in them is fundamentally public in nature,” said Christi Parsons, the new president of the White House Correspondents’ Association. “Den...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Jim Fouts (R) Mayor of Warren, Mich. . - "The city has certain values that I don't believe are in general agreement with having an atheist station, nor in general agreement with having a Nazi station or Klu Klux Klan station. I cannot accept or will not allow a group that is disparaging of another group to have a station here." Just when you thought the crazies of the Republican party couldn't get any crazier Mayor Fouts, in the effort to silence non believers and in violation of the Constitution of the United States, banned a group of atheists from setting up a station alongside a religious group in city hall's atrium. Sanctioning religious activity in city hall while denying atheists the same freedom apparently wasn't enough for the "mayor", he felt it necessary to stoop to the low level of comparing atheists to Nazis and the KKK. What do you want to bnet the "mayor" is much ...
