Excuse the OT, but just got a probable scam robocall re OK tornado relief. Urgent-sounding voice referenced the emergency work of Red Cross and Salvation Army, but did not identify the caller’s group. Just “Press 1 to donate”—either a scam or a tremendously inept charity.

David Corn:

“Not shockingly, Obama is attempting to find middle ground, where there is more oversight and more restraint regarding activities that pose serious civil liberties and policy challenges. The McCainiacs of the world are likely to howl about any effort to place the effort to counter terrorism into a more balanced perspective. The civil libertarians will scoff at half measures. But Obama, at the least, is showing that he does ponder these difficult issues in a deliberative manner and is still attempting to steer the nation into a post-9/11 period.”

He’s saying that terrorists target civilians including Muslims.. and that there are countries that don’t suppress the terrorists who threaten their cities. And he’s pointing out that if we do nothing there is more loss of life, and that the alternative of conventional attacks will cost more lives than drone strikes.

Texas GOP Introduced At Least 24 Anti-Abortion Bills This Year, But Not A Single One Advanced

every single anti-abortion bill proposed in Texas this year was successfully blocked before it reached the House or Senate floor. Of course, that wasn’t for lack of trying — altogether, anti-choice lawmakers introduced at least 24 different measures to restrict Texas women’s reproductive rights. Some of those bills even had the backing of key leaders in the state, like Gov. Rick Perry (R) and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R). But Democratic members of the state legislature pushed back, and won.

“Democrats stuck together very well this session and made strong arguments and strong advocacy on behalf of a woman’s right to choose,” state Sen. Kirk Watson (D), the head of Texas’ Democratic caucus, told the Express-News. “Just this week, I’ve had pressure from leadership pushing to bring up bills in an almost threatening way, and we have stood up to that. …Now we’re at the end of the session, and they’re dead.”

You know, actually governing and engaging in the art of politics (which includes compromise instead of the scorched earth tactics that the GOP has adopted across much of the country).

I gotta tweet this somehow…
*Standing Ovation For POTUS*
Wired

While Obama would not declare an end to the war on terrorism, Obama offered to work with Congress to constrain some of his own authorities for waging it, reflecting what he and aides described as a discomfort with permanent executive war powers. He said he was “open” to working with Congress to establish some additional mechanism to oversee the proper targeting of terrorists, such as a court modeled on the secretive one that oversees the surveillance of suspected foreign agents. He also expressed a preference to constrain “and ultimately repeal” the broad latitude of warmaking powers granted in the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF), the legislative wellspring of the war. “This is the moment to ask ourselves hard questions,” Obama said.

And now the entire conversation re: Gitmo will be not about how there’s a need to close it and deal with the people we’ve been detaining there and finding alternative arrangements, but about how Code Pink and Medea Benjamin are yammering and stammering about how they want it closed.

Which the President already agrees with.

Problem is that no one wants the detainees brought stateside to a domestic confinement facility, and the alternative may mean more renditions and secret facilities in countries that have no respect for rights, as well as deportations to countries that have no interest in taking in the detainees or where the detainees may be among persecuted groups (eg: Uhigurs and China).

Republican Arizona Rep. claims anti-choice movement ‘arrested Nazi holocaust’

“The pro-life perspective is a growing majority in America,” he added, in video snipped by Right Wing Watch, embedded below. “We are the ones that rushed into eastern Europe and arrested the Nazi holocaust. We are the ones that said no more to slavery after 1,000 years. And, by the grace of God, we’re gonna be the ones that say we’re gonna protect our unborn children.”

He went onto add, “Once they’re born, screw ‘em. Their mother should have kept her legs shut if she didn’t want kids.”

Medea Benjamin is an idiot. Code Pink started out as a good idea, women against war. What the hell happened I have no idea. But it’s really fucking tiresome to see them at hearings and speeches and protests interrupting and screaming about shit when they aren’t listening to wtf is going on right in front of them. It makes liberals look like morons and I for one wish they’d go the hell away OR do something that actually helps someone.

Saxby Chambliss: “Obama’s Counterterrorism Speech A Victory For Terrorists”

“The President’s speech today will be viewed by terrorists as a victory,” said Chambliss, who recently golfed with the president, in a statement. “Rather than continuing successful counterterrorism activities, we are changing course with no clear operational benefit. We knew five years ago that closing Guantanamo was a bad idea and would not work. Yet, today’s speech sends the message to Guantanamo detainees that if they harass the dedicated military personnel there enough, we will give in and send them home, even to Yemen. With the recidivism rate now at 28% and the increased threat from al Qaeda and its affiliates, including in Yemen, GITMO must stay open for business.”

I am just glad we’re not in the Cold War anymore because if Obama had repeated the Reagan strategy of actually engaging with a Soviet leader, it would be the “proof” that he’s actually a sekrit commie. I’m convinced because of your example and countless others that Obama could emulate Reagan action for action and they’d still complain. They don’t give a shit. All they care about is bitching because they can’t stand the fact that the Democrats have outsmarted them in presidential politics.

Plus it helps burglars or worse. Who does or does not have a gun at a particular address usually unoccupied in daytime?

Here in PA you can still have guns but not have a concealed carry permit. I have had guns in my house my entire life in PA and never got a CCP. If I take them anywhere for target practice or hunting they just can’t be loaded during the transport.

Who, in New Jersey, DOESN’T want to drink?

Someone posted earlier about getting a robocall asking for donations for Oklahoma disaster relief (just push 1) and was wondering if it was a scam. Consensus was that it was. Well here is a PSA about it.

An unnamed organization is conducting a robo-call asking for funds to donate towards disaster relief. The pitch specifically mentioned the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

The call came from [no phone numbers allowed]. The number gives you the option of pressing one to donate.

We spoke with the local Salvation Army and the agency does not call or email asking for donations.

“Unfortunately we’re a large organization with a good rapport and that’s unfortunate only in the sense that people try to abuse that and people try to go on the good graces of our donors and try to exploit them,” adds Capt. Marcos Marquez, Salvation Army.

Edit. Since the telephone # can’t be displayed click on the link and write it down and leave it by your phone/caller ID unit so that if it shows up, you know it is a scam call

Lerner on Thursday afternoon sent an e-mail to employees in the exempt organizations division she oversees stating, “Due to the events of recent days, I am on administrative leave starting today. An announcement will be made shortly informing you who will be acting while I am on administrative leave. I know all of you will continue to support EO’s mission during these difficult times.” She concluded, “I thank you for all your hard work and dedication,” adding, “The work you do is important.”

Hillman: God Might Destroy America for Tolerating Gays

Os Hillman has recently been writing about how conservatives can make overtures to their Satanic gay friends and even bring about a “reduction in the gay population.” Today in a Charisma column titled “4 Questions to Consider in Response to the Gay Agenda,” he warned that America may soon face divine punishment for tolerating gay people.

He said that tolerance has become a “cultural idol” and its own “god,” which has allowed a “liberal and unholy leadership to rise in power.” Hillman fears that a divine “day of reckoning” is imminent and that God may soon destroy America just as he commissioned the Israelites to wipe out the Amorites.

So God is going to command the Israelis to attack the US?
