Pelosi’s statement backfires

Regular readers of this blog and my op-eds will recall that I have often written about the bogus war on women Democrats claim Republican are waging.

A host of liberal women took to the microphones to assault the Supreme Court Justices who decided in favor of Hobby Lobby in its recent ruling.  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, was so incensed she called a press conference, only to have it backfire.

If you didn’t see Megyn Kelly’s powerful response to Pelosi on the July 10, 2014 Kelly File, I invite you to click here.  Again, Pelosi is caught commenting on something without any knowledge of the facts and with no compunction to lie.

“She misspoke,” Pelosi’s spokesman Drew Hammill acknowledged to PolitiFacts, “Obviously the impact of the court’s decision is not to make these four contraceptive methods illegal –i.e. no longer allowed to be sold,” he confessed.

PolitiFacts called Pelosi’s sweeping claim “false.”  Isn’t it convenient how someone can go before the press and make a blatant untruthful statement only to have someone else say, ‘Oops, she misspoke.’ And, of course, the correction is rarely covered by the press. Continue reading →

Why regaining the senate is so vital

The 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court in the so-called Hobby Lobby case should serve as a wake-up call for conservatives who still haven’t understood the importance of gaining Republican control of the Senate in the mid-term elections this fall.

If you needed a clearer reminder why a Republican senate is so imperative, the vote in opposition by liberals on the Court, including Obama appointees Elena Kagan and Sonya Sotomayor, is it.  Continued Democrat control of the senate will assure the nomination of left-leaning individuals should one or more vacancies occur during the remainder of Obama’s term.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have been reminding you that we need to win six seats in November, most likely in Arkansas, Montana, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Carolina and West Virginia, where incumbent Democrats are most vulnerable.

Fox’s Bill Reilly captured my thoughts so powerfully that they are quoted here today. (blogs.wsj.com)

From time to time I happen to be on the same page with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly and, his June 30, 2014 Talking Points on this subject was one of those occasions.  It was refreshing because most of the media is inaccurately reporting the implications of the Court decision.  And, I noted Hillary Clinton, speaking in Aspen, also misinterpreted the decision; undoubtedly to support her “war on women” agenda.

“The Obama administration wants all corporations to fund things like the morning after pill, which many religious Americans believe is an abortion-inducing medication,” said O’Reilly, but adds, “the national media did not report that … (continuing) to say the Hobby Lobby case is about birth control per se, which it is not.”

Disturbed by the Court opinion of the four liberal justices, O’Reilly states they “apparently believe that American taxpayers should fund abortions.”  Noting the fact that religious freedom is a hallmark of the Constitution, he points to the liberal vote as contradicting the Constitution, and “that’s frightening.” Continue reading →

And she wants to be president, Part 3

 “The most important thing I did was to help restore America’s leadership in the world.  And I think that was a very important accomplishment.  We were flat on our back when I walked in there (the State Department) the first time.   We were viewed as being untrustworthy, as violating our moral rules and values.”  – Hillary Clinton, June 10, 2014

Hillary Clinton would have you believe that the U.S. image in the world was left in shambles when George W. Bush left office.  “That was my biggest challenge.  It was why the president asked me to be secretary of state,” she boasted in her book tour interview with Renee Montagne, co-host of NPR’s Morning Edition.

It certainly didn’t help matters that immediately after his election in 2008, President Obama went on his now infamous apology tour, during which time his comments about America had the overall effect of weakening the view of America on the world stage.

“In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world,” he told an audience in Strasbourg, France on April 3, 2009. “Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges,” he said, “there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”

“We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms,” President Obama said at the April 17, 2009 Summit of the Americas, Port of Spain.  He explained there would be no senior and junior partnerships in our future relations, and added the U.S. would be willing to acknowledge past errors.

“I would like to think that my election and the early decisions that were made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.” President Obama, April 2, 2009, press conference at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders, London.

And she wants to be president, Part 2

“I’m not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be, where the reinforcements need to be.  That’s why we hire people who have that expertise.” – Hillary Clinton, June 10, 2014

I’d like to say I was shocked when I heard this response from Hillary Clinton during her book tour interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, who pressed the former secretary of state over the preparedness of the U.S.… read more
