Confirmed: Pelosi Lied About CIA Briefing on Waterboarding

To recap: Roughly one year after 9/11, Nancy Pelosi and other select members of Congress were told in great detail about a program of EITs that US interrogators were employing to wring actionable intelligence out of captured terrorists.  No one objected.  Years later, when Democrats were indignantly denouncing “torture” as an inexpiable sin of Bush and the Republicans, Pelosi disavowed any knowledge of the meeting she had attended.  She deliberately lied about a sensitive national security question in order to score the cheapest of political points, tossing the American intelligence community under the bus in the process.  This is absolutely shameful.  House Democrats’ code of Congressional conductfeatures the following passage, describing the grounds on which a member may be censured:which is, therefore, worthy of condemnation or rebuke.

Navy SEALs to Obama: Stop Using Us to Get Re-Elected

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/05/01/navy_seals_to_obama_stop_using_us_to_get_reelected

A serving SEAL Team member said: ‘Obama wasn’t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.
‘But the more he tries to take the credit for it, the more the ground operators are saying, “Come on, man!” It really didn’t matter who was president. At the end of the day, they were going to go.’

Triple Play! Obama Blows Off Congress, Funds Palestinians, Lies About PA Stance on Israel

Friday night news dump: President Obama has decided to provide $192 million to the Palestinian Authority despite Congress’s freeze on PA funding after its president, Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to declare statehood unilaterally last September, in violation of the PA’s treaty commitments.

Obama’s “waiver” of the restrictions on Congress’s Palestinian Accountability Act was first reported in the foreign press (AFP), which is where Americans generally need to go to get news about what the U.S. administration is up to. A report from the Times of Israel is here. [Hat tip, Creeping Sharia.] The New York Times, evidently too busy reporting on how much Israel sucks, did not find this story fit to print.

Who Is ‘Racist’? Pt. II

Thomas Sowell  —  April 27, 2012

Black civil rights attorneys and activists who denounce whites for objecting to the bussing of kids from the ghetto into their neighborhood schools have not hesitated to send their own children to private schools, instead of subjecting them to this kind of “diversity” in the public schools.

As for whites, author Harry Stein says that many white liberals “give blacks a pass on behaviors and attitudes they would regard as unacceptable and even abhorrent in their own kind.” This, of course, is no favor to those particular blacks — especially those among young ghetto blacks whose counterproductive behavior puts them on a path that leads nowhere but to welfare, at best, and behind bars or death in gangland street warfare at worst.

  1. Terrific post, Kat—Thank you—-I second what Ann Coulter has said/written……Basically, I believe that liberals eschew any “mother types” who favor a discipline that holds goodness in high esteem.
    I really truly believe they (Dems) despise women, esp women who they perceive as trying to ruin their fun….because that reminds them of their mothers. who did the same.
    All Conservatives, in the eyes of the Liberals, fall into this category. The Conservatives/Repulicans don’t want them (Dems) to have fun and stay out late, have weird, shady friends, etc.
    Conservatives have curfews. Democrats have fun. That’s the philosophy.
    Well, that’s just my 2 cents. Oops, make that, my half-a-penny… what with the Obama economy! Ha!

  2. In my opinion, this is still the best Bill Buckley quote, and is eternally applicable:

    “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there ARE other views”

    Yay for $192 million in US taxpayer dollars going to buy guns for Hamas and Fatah to shoot at Israel. And also to buy boats, cigars, whores and fancy cars for party leaders in the PA. Awesome use of my hard earned money. Thanks Obama! I am sure this infusion of cash will change everything for the better.

    • I know hc, he doesn’t think much about us, so it isn’t a big deal for him to take from the American people and spend it wherver he feels like. Why should he, there never are political repercusstions for Obama are WHO holds him accountable? No one. He is beyond the reach of the American people, which often happens when one becomes a Sun God.

    In stump speech, Michelle Obama evicts mother from White House

    The eviction notice came April 30 when the first lady told fellow Democrats at a fundraiser that she shared their values. “My family, we lived in a little bitty apartment on the South Side of Chicago over my aunt’s house [and] my mom still lives in that house to this day.”

    However, the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, has lived in the White House since March 2009,

    • I still think McCain is a fine man; he knows of things I would never want to have that particular knowledge of, and I will always afford him the respect he has earned as a man serving our country in the Armed Services.

    • Here si more on that article:
      The office of Vice President Joe Biden overruled State and Justice Department officials in denying the political asylum request of a senior Chinese communist official last February over fears the high-level defection would upset the U.S. visit of China’s vice president, according to U.S. officials.

      The defector, Wang Lijun, was turned away after 30 hours inside the U.S. Consulate Chengdu and given over to China’s Ministry of State Security, the political police and intelligence service.

    • Ferd Berfle says:

      I am veteran and I have issues with him making such inane statements. I’d like to meet that moron in person and give him a piece of my mind, among other things.

    • While speaking about this, I really resent the fuck out of the President using the AMerican people for what clearly is the longest victory lap in history; we know he isn’t a good loser, but as a winner he has no humility , or grace or respect to do moe than just accept the academy awarrd for himself; which still is Best Special Effects;brought to you by the msm, and ass lickers united studios of D.C.
