ELECTIONS ARE COMING: NANCY MACE FORE SENATE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Who is Nancy Mace? Just about the most attractive candidate out there. The first woman to graduate from The Citadel- with honors, Magna Cum Laude, with a master’s degree from the University of Georgia. She is a wife, mother, businesswoman. She is running against Sen Lindsay Graham, the John McCain clone- nice man, but it is high time for the GOP to make way for a new face.

Read all about her: http://nancymace.org/

“Do you trust this government? With your health care, with your taxes or your cell phone records…Because I don’t. I believe this government is too big, too intrusive and too powerful, and must be put back in its place by the people.”

“Radical Islam continues to be a threat. I do not support continuing to send US aid and weapons to countries that burn our flag, train terrorists or that threaten American interests at home or abroad.”

“As the daughter of a U.S. Army General, I understand the sacrifices our service members and their families make in order to protect our freedom and advance liberty. I have tremendous respect for those serving us at home and abroad. Our military understands they have a no fail mission. As a leader and public servant there is no more important job than providing the tools and resources our military needs to be successful in their mission. We should have the strongest national defense in the world. Period.”

“In order to have jobs, you must have employers. It is not the role of the federal government to create jobs, it’s government’s role to provide the soil conditions for commerce and ensure a free market so businesses large and small can produce good paying jobs.”

DAVID SOLWAY: DISAGREEMENTS AMONG CONSERVATIVES ****

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/disagreements-among-conservatives?f=puball The Proper Way to Handle Controversy The controversy surrounding Diana West’s new book, American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on our Nation’s Character, that erupted over the last week on the Internet vividly illustrates a point I made, and perhaps belabored, in several recent articles; namely, a radical split is occurring within conservative ranks that […]

WE NEED AN ALLY- NOT A “DEMOCRATIC EGYPT”….DANIEL GREENFIELD

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/who-needs-a-democratic-egypt/ In the big marble halls of Washington, in the slow ambling pace of summer cocktail parties where veterans of the political establishment still shake their heads at the fall of the Graham dynasty and the sale of the Post to a parvenu dot comer, the second favorite topic of conversation is how to make […]

LIGHTS! CAMERA! HILLARY!- DANIEL GREENFIELD

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/lights-camera-hillary/ This week CBS joined NBC and CNN in the Hillary entertainment business. While NBC airs a 4-hour miniseries produced by James D. Stern, the son of a top Bill Clinton donor, whom the New York Times accused of pushing Hillary Clinton’s candidacy eight years ago, CNN will air a documentary about Hillary and CBS […]

The Mideast Multiple Choice Exam Posted By Michael Widlanski

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/michael-widlanski/the-mideast-multiple-choice-exam/ Who should Western democrats support in the “new” Middle East?: a.  Islamists elected to power who claim to be democrats (best example: the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt or the ayatollahs in Iran). b.  Bloody-handed Arab nationalists who pretend to be moderate (best example: Bashar Assad in Syria). c.  Would-be nationalist leaders who cannot be elected dog catcher and […]

ALEX ALEXIEV: SAUDI DUPLICITY

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/356424/saudis-duplicity-alex-alexiev King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has now weighed in decisively on the Egyptian imbroglio by declaring his strong support for his “Egyptian brothers against terrorism, deviance, and sedition.” And the brothers he has in mind are not the Saudis’ long-term clients in the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) but their military oppressors. To underscore the decisive […]

ANDREW McCARTHY: WHY THE BROTHERHOOD TARGETS CHRISTIANS

http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2013/08/21/why-the-brotherhood-targets-christians-remember-the-maspero-massacre/?print=1 A pogrom against Christians — torching Churches and killing believers — is perfectly consistent with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic supremacist ideology. But there are many despicable things, consistent with that ideology, that are not on display at the moment. By contrast, the Brothers and their sympathizers are very consciously and very publicly besieging Christians […]

EGYPT’S EXAMPLE: NONIE DARWISH

http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/08/egypts_example.html How many revolutions does a nation need to correct its course? Some nations undergo the pain of one revolution and flourish, while others achieve change by allowing themselves to evolve through self-examination, correction, awakening, and enlightenment, followed by a working consensus on the course the country will take. But when it comes to much […]

CAMILLE PAGLIA ON WHY HILLARY HAS DISQUALIFIED HERSELF FOR THE PRESIDENCY

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324165204579026890499140558.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEFTTopOpinion

Camille Paglia, from an interview with Salon.com, posted Aug. 21:

Q: Any hopes, fears or predictions for the presidential elections in 2016?

A: As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal. It’s time to put my baby-boom generation out to pasture! We’ve had our day and managed to muck up a hell of a lot.

It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party’s best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished—beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She’s certainly busy, busy and ever on the move—with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.

PROFESSOR HAIM HARARI: A VIEW FROM THE SCORCHING SUMMER FOLLOWING THE ARAB SPRING….SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://acdemocracy.org/a-view-from-the-scorching-summer-following-the-arab-spring/

RENOWNED PHYSICIST, DR. HAIM HARARI IS FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE IN ISRAEL. THIS COLUMN WAS PRESENTED AT A FOREIGN POLICY FORUM….RSK

The dominant country, in one of the most important regions of the world, experienced several years of tumultuous unrest, mass demonstrations, brutality, murders and chaos. This was followed by a parliamentary election, won by an extremist right wing party, whose demagoguery appealed to the lowest common denominator of the voters.

The party received the largest popular vote and the largest number of seats in the parliament, but not an absolute majority. Its leader, formerly jailed by a previous regime, was installed as head of the government. The program of action of the new ruling party was sometimes openly declared, and often whispered in code language, but it was unambiguously stated in published books and documents prior to the election. It aimed at suppressing all competing political forces, by brutal means, if necessary. It also advocated the creation of a large “living space” for the people led by it, creating an empire, and controlling various territories in Europe that were formerly occupied by its allies. It advocated and practiced a strong policy of discrimination against minority groups, ethnic, religious and others, and it explicitly intended to murder the entire world Jewish population.

The naïve democratic western powers largely ignored the clearly stated plans of the new ruling party. They talked themselves into believing that these were just an exaggerated form of political rhetoric, not meant as a real concrete strategy. They welcomed the democratically elected government, believing that the winning party had some components, which were not as evil as it might appear, and they remained passive as the new regime gradually proceeded with its agenda, step by step. This misguided western attitude was shared by conservatives, liberals and socialists, from the moderate right and moderate left in Western Europe and the United States.
