Dishonorable Disclosures - You Tube: Intelligence and Spec Ops forces are furious at how Obama has exploited their service for political advantage




You Tube: Intelligence and Spec Ops forces are furious at how Obama has exploited their service for political advantage


About Dishonorable Disclosure


Published on Aug 15, 2012 by 
Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk.

The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled "Dishonorable Disclosures." Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again.

Use of military ranks, titles & photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement of the Dept of the Army or the Department of Defense. All individuals are no longer in active service with any federal agency or military service.

Washington Post: Breaking News: Kucinich loses Ohio Democratic primary to Marcy Kaptur

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, the two-time presidential candidate and icon of the antiwar left, suffered a potentially career-ending defeat Tuesday as he lost the Democratic primary to a veteran incumbent. A GOP-drawn congressional map pitted Kucinich against Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who won the nomination.

The Rush To Censor Limbaugh | Fox News

The Rush To Censor Limbaugh | Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/03/05/rush-to-censor-limbaugh/

Published March 05, 2012
| FoxNews.com

Rush Limbaugh was broadsided last week for attacking a star witness for the Democrats who demanded government force insurers to subsidize contraceptives. He called 30-year-old Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute.”



Let’s all agree Limbaugh crossed a line.


He agrees. He posted an apology to Fluke “for the insulting word choices.” ... http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/03/05/rush-to-censor-limbaugh/

The scandal-ette should be over.

So why are the Left and the media still pushing and publicizing a campaign for advertisers to dump the Limbaugh show and end his career?

Because it has little to do with his words. This is all about disingenuous politics. Liberals want this government-mandate controversy to be not about religious liberty, which is devastating, but about contraceptives, which works in their favor.

That is intellectually dishonest.

They want to position conservatives as “anti-women.” That’s as ugly as it is untrue. ... http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/03/05/rush-to-censor-limbaugh/

News from The Hill: Political winds shift to Democrats



News from The Hill:

Political winds shift to Democrats 
By Cameron Joseph 
The political winds have shifted to the Democrats’ backs over the last month.
President Obama is in better shape at the prospect of a prolonged GOP primary battle between former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Mitt Romney.


Democrats in the House have been buoyed by a series of court decisions on redistricting and Senate Democrats have recently landed potentially strong recruits in conservative-leaning states.

The New York Times Breaking News Alert: Supreme Court Steps In to Review Texas Redistricting

Supreme Court Steps In to Review Texas Redistricting

The Supreme Court on Friday evening agreed to hear a tangle of lawsuits over how elections in Texas next year for its state legislature and for Congress are to be conducted.

The court stayed orders from a special three-judge court in San Antonio, Texas, which had issued electoral maps late last month that seemed to help Democrats and Hispanic voters.

The justices ordered the parties to file briefs on a brisk schedule, and they will hear arguments on Jan. 9. The Supreme Court must move quickly if next year’s primary and general elections are to proceed in an orderly way.

Friday’s order did not say what election officials in Texas are meant to do in the meantime. Primaries are scheduled for March, and candidates have been filing under the court-drawn maps...

DOUG MATACONIS: Obama’s Populism At Odds With His Path To Re-Election

DOUG MATACONIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2011

While many on the left are cheering President Obama’s new found populism and his attacks on “the rich,” National Journal’s John Kraushaar argues that this rhetoric is placing the President’s re-election strategy in jeopardy:

News from The Hill: Liberal lawmakers highlight Defense fraud report to influence supercommittee cuts




News from The Hill:

Liberal lawmakers highlight Defense fraud report to influence supercommittee cuts
By John T. Bennett 
Liberal lawmakers will soon send the congressional deficit panel the details of a Pentagon report that shows defense firms over the last decade ripped off the military to the tune of $1.1 trillion, Democratic sources told The Hill.
Pro-military lawmakers from both parties have warned the supercommittee to avoid Pentagon spending cuts beyond the $350 billion ordered by the August debt deal.
But several Senate Democrats want the panel to keep in mind that dollars sent to the Pentagon are often lost to fraud and waste, even as some conservatives raise the possibility of retroactively exempting the Pentagon from the $600 billion cut that will be triggered if the supercommittee fails.

Douglas Schoen - Wall Street journal: Polling the Occupy Wall Street Crowd



OCTOBER 18, 2011

Polling the Occupy Wall Street Crowd

In interviews, protesters show that they are leftists out of step with most American voters. Yet Democrats are embracing them anyway.



President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movement—and it may cost them the 2012 election.

Last week, senior White House adviser David Plouffe said that "the protests you're seeing are the same conversations people are having in living rooms and kitchens all across America. . . . People are frustrated by an economy that does not reward hard work and responsibility, where Wall Street and Main Street don't seem to play by the same set of rules." Nancy Pelosi and others have echoed the message.

Yet the Occupy Wall Street movement reflects values that are dangerously out of touch with the broad mass of the American people—and particularly with swing voters who are largely independent and have been trending away from the president since the debate over health-care reform.

The protesters have a distinct ideology and are bound by a deep commitment to radical left-wing policies. On Oct. 10 and 11, Arielle Alter Confino, a senior researcher at my polling firm, interviewed nearly 200 protesters in New York's Zuccotti Park. Our findings probably represent the first systematic random sample of Occupy Wall Street opinion.

Our research shows clearly that the movement doesn't represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence. ...

Washington Examiner Opinion: 'Durbin fees' are coming, thanks to progressives



Washington Examiner Opinion Email Digest

If we had a "Dim Bulb of the Year" award, we would give it to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. How better to honor someone who so ostentatiously proposes a policy with obvious unintended consequences, then gets angry when they predictably come to pass?

Western leaders have history of blinders on duplicitous regimes

Robert Conquest, pre-eminent historian of the genocides, purges and terrors of the Soviet Union, has long contemplated the blinders the West wears when looking at -- or, rather not looking at -- the millions of dead bodies the gigantically Evil Empire was responsible for.

Sunday Reflection: Changing the Constitution

By: Glenn Reynolds
Last weekend I participated in an unusual event -- a conference on the prospects for a federal constitutional convention at Harvard Law School, co-sponsored with the Tea Party Patriots and Fix Congress First. (See the agenda at www.conconcon.org). A wide variety of participants from both the left and the right mixed with surprising comfort and cordiality, and found numerous points of agreement.

One president, two days and seven fundraisers

All last week, President Obama continued a cross-country tour to promote his jobs bill. But as the quarterly deadline for fundraising approached, he also found plenty of time to woo the West Coast's rich and famous in search of their campaign dollars. In fact, Obama attended seven fundraisers in the space of two days -- a crash-course cash crawl that may have grossed his campaign up to $10 million.

Living amid Hollywood hypocrisy

By: Janine Turner
I had to listen to it for years on sets, at dinners, in rehearsals, in the make-up chair, and at award ceremonies. The judgmental, hot, mostly uninformed rants of Hollywood liberals breathed down my neck and sucked all the air from the room. Usually, the rants were so hostile that I was afraid to speak up, or so ridiculous that I thought it futile to reply.
