Obama's Mind Game

Nov 23, 2009 - By Robin of Berkeley November 17, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/obamas_mind_game.html   We're playing those mind games together Pushing the barriers,  Planting seeds Playing the mind guerrilla Chanting the mantra, peace on earth  -John Lennon It's a chilling moment when the light goes out in someone's eyes. A once-radiant child hardens from abuse. A woman's heart shrinks after her husband's abandonment. - 86 Comments

On the Anniversary of Kennedy's Death, Extremism Lives On

Nov 23, 2009 - What I find interesting about this is both how much has changed AND how much hasn't. The Letter:     Tyler, Texas November 24, 1963 President Lyndon B Johnson The White House Washington D.C.   Dear Mr. President: In this time of mourning and appreciating how very busy you are, I still must write about existing conditions here in East Texas, even if you are too busy to read this, because I feel it is my duty to do so. - 1 Comment

Sorry, No Ladies Only Holidays

Nov 18, 2009 - Judge rules against women-only holidays   By Norrie Ross Herald Sun November 18, 2009 12:01am A judge ruled that women-only holidays cannot be advertised because it could breach the human rights of men / File

• Plans to start a women-only holiday service
• Wanted exemption to Equal Opportunity Act
• Judge refuses, say it is not necessary

A SINGLE-sex travel company for women who want to avoid boozy, bed-hopping mixed tour groups has been grounded. A judge ruled yesterday that former tour guide Erin Maitland cannot advertise women-only holidays because it could breach the human rights of men.  Judge Marilyn Harbison refused to grant Ms Maitland an exemption to the Equal Opportunity Act, ruling that she had not proved it was reasonable or necessary, the Herald Sun reports. "The exemption may well be convenient and practical in the establishment of her business, but it cannot be justified on human rights principles," said the vice-president of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.  In her evidence to VCAT Ms Maitland said she wanted to set up Travel Sisters after hearing stories from her friends who would not travel in mixed tour groups because of "drinking and bed-hopping". - 2 Comments

FACT CHECK: Palin Goes Rogue on Some Details

Nov 13, 2009 - WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition. Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. - 5 Comments

The Dunn Debacle: Is Anita Dunn?

Nov 12, 2009 - Anita Dunn has proven to be one of Obama’s greatest assets and now perhaps one of his greatest mishaps. As a campaign consultant she boasted boldly during a Jamaican interview that “Obama’s camp controlled the media, ALL the media” and still does today….well perhaps aside from FOX News.    As a Democratic strategist, communications consultant, and is a partner of Squier Knapp Dunn Communications, a Washington-based consulting firm, Anita Dunn has been most recently Obama’s /the White House’s communications chief. Recently she quietly stepped down from her post, resigning and is attempting to tip-toe out of the building and her past revelations which I assert will haunt her and her career in the future.    What is her future? - 2 Comments
