• ZZZZAAAAPPPP!!! The Big Tent Paradox
  The best case going against non-principled, squishy beta male, metrosexual RINOs and their enablers in the media, Old and New, who whine for dilution of American ideals as a way out of the Mess of Obama. It’s succinct and lays down what’s at stake, both in 2010 and 2012. Ditto! Bravo! Encore!

  Consider. Allah’s scorn of hardass conservatism is also a defense of the betrayals of Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe, her evil twin whose name I can’t quite recall (just kidding, Susan Collins), Arlen Specter, and the obsession with dealing with the devil we’ve seen in “Big-Tent” moderates like Lindsey Graham and his sponsor (”who’s your daddy?”) John McCain. (Allah does go on about about beta males. Tell you anything?)

  That last name is brutally relevant. I’m hardly the first to make this point, but I’ll be damned if I ever forget it. Weren’t we proselytized by the politically savvy Republican moderates that nominating McCain would appeal to Independents, broaden the reach of the Republicans who had so often been tarred as rigid reactionaries? What happened? All the prominent moderates and Independents we were pandering to endorsed and voted for Obama. I mean, if there’s hardly any difference between the Dem and the Repub, all the kudos go to endorsing the Dem. Hell, I’m not even certain that McCain voted for McCain. I know his damn daughter didn’t.

  A most righteous rant and better because it not only needs to be said, but repeated daily whenever confronted by the fluffery of fools and difference-splitters.

• PALIN-PALOOZA: Exclusive: Palin Slams Obama for Bowing, Breaking Promises
  From the Newsmax exclusive: “Palin cited the contrast between Obama’s comportment in bowing to Japanese royalty and the leadership style of former President Ronald Reagan.

  “There is where his steel spine strengthened our entire nation,” she said of the Republican icon. “The leadership he provided, where he allowed us to believe in ourselves as a superpower — not in an abusive way as a superpower, but as a power and a light and a hope for the rest of the world.”

• GEEESH: 2007 Walter Reed memo: Hasan is dangerously incompetent as a therapist
  Allahpundit on the subject that remains his strong suit: “Follow the link for reminiscences about him “pledging allegiance to the Koran” while in uniform and an explanation as to why no formal complaints were filed by his classmates. Quite simply, Hasan’s “eccentricities” were so well known that the faculty was already on notice. Exit question: Why’d the military look the other way at his gross professional negligence if he wasn’t even helping out much with patients? Or need I even ask?”
  One supposes that there wasn’t a box on the evaluation for “unstable maniac with homicidal tendencies”. It’s looking like even if there had been, the Army still wouldn’t have disqualified Hasan.

• DUH: Marijuana Salesman Discovers Door-to-Door Sales is Risky Business
• I Was Lou Dobbs’s Last Guest: Witness To a Star Reborn
  Jeffrey Lord, AmSpec:

  “You’re speaking as though you believe America is a free country.”

  The speaker was longtime CNN journalist and commentator Lou Dobbs. Sitting across the table from him in the CNN studios in New York I was startled at the statement, a statement that was in fact a question. I was even more startled at what had transpired moments before — when Dobbs, seated at another table a few feet away, an electronic American flag waving behind him — looked America in the eye and announced he was leaving CNN after almost three decades. Without doubt I knew the reason for Dobbs’ question.

  Lou Dobbs vs. ‘Progressive’ groupthink…

• OBAMA the GOON: How do you say “You lie!” in Mandarin?
  Michelle Malkin: “President Obama traveled all the way to China to praise the free flow of information. It’s the only safe place he could do so without getting heckled. With a straight face, Obama lauded political dissent and told Chinese students that he welcomed unfettered criticism in America. Fierce opposition, he said, made him “a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don’t want to hear.” How do you say “You lie!” in Mandarin?”

• ANN COULTER on Gen. Casey’s “Our diversity is…a strength” comment: “”Diversity” is a difficulty to be overcome, not an advantage to be sought. True, America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population. We also do a better job at curing cancer and containing pollution. But no one goes around mindlessly exclaiming: “Cancer is a strength!” “Pollution is our greatest asset!”
