Jonathan Gruber - "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage."

It's not that I was not aware of how the democrats in this country feel about the American voter; I am fully aware that they believe Americans are stupid. What shocks me is that there are still people inside this country who haven't figured it out yet.

Jon Stewart and Charles Krauthammer

I was browsing YouTube and came across this video. I'm glad I did. As always, Krauthammer is brilliant. In this debate/discussion/interview with Jon Stewart he does a brilliant job at explaining the Obama heath care law and why so many conservatives oppose it.

Jon is also brilliant and I appreciate how he expresses himself and his ideas as well. I don't often agree with Stewart but I do think he's hilarious and he really does seem to think about what he believes, rather than just spouting off the typical liberal rhetoric that we are so used to hearing. Both of them really make an effort to be respectful of one another and demonstrate how most of us would like our politicians to discuss issues.

Enjoy!

Psychological Projection

Just a random thought... 

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. — Charles Krauthammer

In psychology, the term projection is used to describe a person's thoughts and behavior as being a reflection of their true self. People who make accusations towards others are really only revealing who they truly are on the inside.

I've always agreed with the quote above from Krauthammer. I have heard those sentiments exactly from liberals about conservatives and vice versa. Could it be that both sides are projecting themselves with these descriptions?

Well, I don't know about you but I would rather be stupid than evil. 

Benghazi -- Charles Krauthammer

Well, we are starting to finally see this story taking shape in the news. It's clear Obama was more concerned about being able to find a way to place blame, rather than telling the American people what was really going on and what he was actually doing about the attack in Benghazi.

“I think there is a bigger story here that will in time come out. The biggest scandal of all, the biggest question is what was the president doing in those eight hours. He had a routine meeting at five o’clock. He never after during the eight hours when our guys have their lives in danger, he never called the Secretary of Defense, he never calls the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he never called the CIA Director, Who does he call? But five hours in he calls the Secretary of State. And after the phone call she releases a statement essentially about the video and how we denounce any intolerance. It looks as if the only phone call is to construct a cover story at a time when the last two Americans who died were still alive and fighting for their lives. There’s the scandal and that has to be uncovered.”

What really irks me is why we have yet to figure out who the hell came up with the YouTube video blame story in the first place? Why hasn't this been answered yet?

Check out one of my favorite sites [The Conservative Treehouse] on a once again, AWESOME post.

I've been wanting to do more research on this story myself but I am sorry...I got sucked into the Jodi Arias story and I have another story I am working on about Weather Underground.

Don't hesitate to buy the newly re-released book, Bringing Down America. This is a must read -- fascinating. Larry Grathwol is the real deal folks!

Obama Playing Clinton?

 

Charles Krauthammer

During the 8 years Clinton occupied the presidency, we repeatedly witnessed him ignore terrorism, or try his best to downplay its threat to this country.

Is this the model that Obama is following? What is it about liberals/democrats that makes them want to literally dumb themselves down by ignoring terrorism? Why is is so difficult for them to recognize something that is so obvious?
