Is
a "Two-State Solution" Our Only Hope?
By
Diana
West
Stanley
Kurtz provides a likely summation of what is in store in Obama's second term. What
would that be? Obama's first term. Kurtz explains: "That’s because the
president’s first term hasn’t really happened yet, at least not in the
conventional sense. Ordinarily, a president enacts various policies in his
first term, the public test-drives the changes, and the president’s reelection
campaign is a referendum on those new policies. The difference in Obama’s case
is that in order to secure reelection, he has backloaded nearly all of his most
transformative and controversial changes into a second term. Obama’s
next term will actually put into effect health-care reform, Dodd-Frank, and a
host of other highly controversial policies that are already surging through
the pipeline yet still barely known to the public." [more...]
Christie
Says "Bigots" Attacking Him on Radical Islam
By Ryan Mauro
New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie, often described as a "rock star" in
the Republican Party, has finally addressed the criticism of his courtship of
Islamists. On July 24, Christie held an Iftar dinner at the Governor's Mansion,
attended by Imam Mohammad Qatanani, a Hamas-linked cleric whose deportation is
sought by the Department of Homeland Security. Christie reiterated his support
for Qatanani and made the case to his Muslim audience that he is their ally by
ridiculing the "bigots" attacking him. Christie opens by talking
about the attacks on "our relationship" (between him and, as he would
characterize it, the Muslim community of N.J.) that show a "gaze of
intolerance that's going around our country that is disturbing." [more...]
House
Speaker John Boehner Already Offering Obama Higher Taxes
By
Doug
Johnson
Speaker
of the House John Boehner didn’t even make it 24 hours past the election before
making offers to give in to President Obama on higher taxes. Anyone thinking
that the House of Representatives under his leadership has any chance of
holding the line for Republicans until the 2014 midterm elections is dreaming. America
is now in a very dark place and those of us who hold to traditional values and
want to see America shine again will have to be diligent and fight hard to keep
people like John Boehner from giving away what little negotiating ability we
have left. If the Republican Party is to survive, it must give up the ways of
establishment Republicans or be replaced with a new, more vibrant and effective
party with solid values and strong leadership. [more...]
