Saturday Reading

Some great reading from some lesser known conservative blogs, plus a well known blog or two.

It's getting crowded under the (Obama) bus. So says Liberty's Watchdogs.

Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency. Investor's Business Daily is talking about a revolution???

Is America in for a stealth amnesty? Is President Obama ready to play chicken with the voting public again? Why not? He'd rather be a really good one term President than a mediocre two term President. The idea that he might be a lousy one term President might be dawning on enough Democrats that any sort of amnesty might be too much for them to play ball.

From Conservative Outlooks, MoveOn.org promotes NPR for Helen Thomas’ seat over FoxNews w/help of progressive cell phone company. No really.

Death By 1000 Paper Cuts has it's list of the top 100 conservative websites. Plus the near misses. In case you were wondering, I didn't make it, and neither did you. [If you were on that list, and are indeed reading this, feel free to call me out on it.]

Swamp draining success according to Pelosi + 13 ethics charges for Rangel means Sista Toldjah has some fun with it.

FireAndreaMitchell has the audio from the Hannity-Weiner slug fest. It's not the Rumble in the Jungle, but you can't have that when one of the combatants is named Weiner.

Idiots4Obama supports the comments from Phyllis Schlafly, because she's speaking truth to power. (When will that phrase finally die a gruesome death)?

Impeach Them All on the Islam of the Atheists - Bolshevism.

A Tale of Two Media Realities

In video form, from SecularStupidest, a comparison of two protests, and two versions of the media coverage. The video speaks for itself.

Did President Obama Really Say 'Mongrel'?

The President went on The View yesterday and said some more things about race that are frankly a little confusing. From the Beer Summit to the Shirley Sherrod situation, the President seems to shoot from the hip when it comes to racial issues and then deal with the damage afterwards.  Keep in mind that while the President may have known the questions in advance (I don't know for sure if that's the case), he certainly would have been unscripted as compared to a teleprompter speech. He may have had some talking points to work with, but it's a free form discussion in large part. It shouldn't come as a surprise that President Obama has some Biden-esque moments on open forum situations - coming to mind immediately are his gaffes with Jay Leno on the Special Olympics or his campaign trail talks about visiting 57 states.  But this gaffe might be more problematic.

Democrats to Campaign for the GOP

The Democrats are apparently preparing to paint the GOP as the 'Republican Tea Party'.  With campaigning like that, they might save the GOP some campaign financing.

France is expelling its illegals

France is further along the immigration path than America.  10% of it's population is Muslim, and the percentage is growing.  In the United States, about 7% of the census population is Mexican (2002).  But the nation of origin is not important.  In fact, it's Eastern European Gypsy immigrants the Sarkozy government is expelling.  This despite the claims in that country of the racism of such actions.

Sarkozy seems unfazed.

Sarkozy called a government meeting Wednesday after Roma clashed with police this month after the shooting death of a gypsy youth fleeing officers in the Loire Valley.

Sarkozy said those responsible for the clashes would be "severely punished" and ordered the government to expel all illegal Roma immigrants, almost all of whom have come from eastern Europe.

 Meanwhile in the U.S., Arizona can't enforce federal immigration law. It makes you wonder what sort of decisions were being made in the dying years of Rome.  And one can't help but wonder if France gets this, why don't Americans - or at least the judges?

Andrew Breitbart is too smart for that

On Shirley Sherrod, ZoNation has the definitive rant about the firing (see below).  But I'm more interested in the Brietbart angle on this.
