Former VP Candidate Paul Ryan: ‘I Can’t Believe We Lost to These Guys’ (+video)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Photo Credit: APWhen Republican Mitt Romney said in one of the 2012 presidential debates that Russia was America’s greatest “geopolitical adversary,” he was right, said Rep. Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate.

Interviewed Tuesday night by Fox News’s Martha McCallum, Ryan said, “You know, there are moments, Martha, when I just look down, shake my head, and say I can’t believe we lost to these guys. This is one of those moments. Mitt was right.

“I think the President was incredibly naive on his Russia policy. His reset has been total failure. I think this is what happens when a superpower projects weakness in its form in defense policy. Aggression fills that vacuum. And I think that’s what happening right now.”

Ryan said he thinks President Obama doesn’t support the traditional view of the United States as a superpower.

“I believe he’s taken on the whole notion of exceptionalism. I believe we are an exceptional country for lots of reasons. And I’m not sure that he’s going to be leading like he ought to be in this situation. Look, Russia’s violated the sovereignty of Ukraine. I think there are a lot of things we need to be doing to address this, LNG export, other kinds of sanctions, but I think the lack of a coherent foreign policy, the fact that the president is proposing a budget to highlight our defenses projects weakness.”

Hillary Clinton Compares Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler (+video)

Photo Credit: Getty ImagesFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday compared recent actions by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine to those implemented by Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s.

Putin’s desire to protect minority Russians in Ukraine is reminiscent of Hitler’s actions to protect ethnic Germans outside Germany, she said.

Putin has been on a campaign to give Russian passports to anyone who has Russian connections, Clinton said.

The Russian leader has recently done so in the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which, Clinton said, is similar to what happened in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. Hitler resettled tens of thousands of ethnic Germans who were living in parts of Europe to Nazi Germany.

Clinton made her comments at a private event benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach.

Ted Cruz Takes a Stand Against Controversial Obama Nominee on Senate Floor: ‘Mr. President…’ (+video)

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday took a strong stance against President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, calling the nomination “insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere.”

Cruz’s opposition to Debo Adegbile’s nomination stems from the man’s time with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. During that time, Adegbile volunteered to advocate for Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. As Townhall’s Katie Pavlich notes, attorneys with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund were able to get Abu-Jamal’s death sentence overturned.

“Mr. President, this is insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere. I stand with the Fraternal Order of Police in opposition to Debo Adegbile,” Cruz said from the Senate floor Tuesday.

By Kristin Tate.

President Obama recently nominated Debo Adegbile to be head of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. Texas Senator Ted Cruz today spoke out against the nomination and criticized Adegbile, who previously held a leadership position at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF). During his time with the black activist group, Adegbile volunteered to defend Mumia Abu-Jamal, the criminal who murdered Philadelphia cop Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Thanks to Adegbile and his colleagues, Abu-Jamal ultimately avoided the death penalty.

Despite heavy scrutiny, LDF attorneys said it was a great “honor” to represent the convicted cop killer.
On the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon, Cruz said, “Mr. President, this is insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere. I stand with the Fraternal Order of Police in opposition to Debo Adegbile.”

He stressed the fact that Adegbile took pride in defending Abu-Jamal simply because of his skin color. The LDF’s defense had nothing to do with proving innocence or guilt, Cruz argued.

Harry Reid: Republicans Are Addicted to Koch (+video)

/9 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APDoing his part to ensure that devotion towards Big Brother is continuous, the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid took to the floor to contribute his two minutes of hate towards Charles and David Koch.

Reid lambasted Republicans for “defending” the right of the two libertarian billionaires to participate in our democracy. It should be noted that the Koch brothers rank #59 in political donations (behind the left-wing Act Blue and a whole bunch of unions.)

“Republican Senators have come to the floor to defend the Koch brothers’ attempt to buy our democracy,” Dingy Harry wheezed reading from his script. “Not only have Senate Republicans come to the floor to defend the Koch brothers personally, they have again and again defended the Koch brother’s radical agenda.”

Dingy emphasized that the Koch brothers are radical, “from a middle class perspective” but neglected to name the radical, anti-middle class actions they were engaging in.

Fed-Up Navy Veteran Forewarned Conn. Lawmakers on Gun Registration: ‘I’m Telling You Right Now, I Will Not Comply’

/13 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: YouTubeNow that tens of thousands of gun owners in Connecticut are in direct violation of a hastily-passed gun control law, a video of a fed-up Navy veteran warning lawmakers that he “will not comply” with the law is just going viral. As previously reported by TheBlaze, as many as 100,000 gun owners technically became felons overnight because they chose not to register their semi-automatic rifles and/or high-capacity magazines.

A man, identified as John S. Cinque, reportedly appeared at a public meeting in North Haven, Conn., on April 22, 2013, to confront lawmakers over the gun control law.

Cinque started by asking if the bill would have done anything to prevent the tragic Sandy Hook shooting. Eventually, Connecticut State Rep. David Yaccarino (R) replied, “maybe not.”

Cinque went on to ask what the state plans to do with residents who “will not comply with this law.”

“That’s up to you, that’s your right,” Yaccarino said. “As far as Sandy Hook, we don’t know if it would’ve or wouldn’t have, but we also have an obligation to do our best to protect public safety.”

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House’s Select Committee on Intelligence, was on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss the situation in Ukraine.

Russian President Putin got approval to send troops to Ukraine, and the Russian military has seized Crimea without firing a single shot.

Rogers said that for Putin, Crimea has the greatest military, strategic and economic impact. He said that Russia’s upper chamber has a proposal that would allow Crimea to become part of the Russian Federation if Crimea wanted to.

Russia has made many bold moves recently, including moving its borders out about 11 kilometers in Georgia and helping Syrian President Bashar Assad remain in power during U.N. negotiations.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham advised President Barack Obama to stop threatening “thugs and dictators” like Russia’s Vladimir Putin on television, claiming that “everybody’s eyes roll” every time he does.

Video: Joe Miller Delivers Rousing Call to Action at Western Conservative Conference

Joe Miller spoke at this year’s Western Conservative Conference in Phoenix. Introduced as the kind of candidate the Washington Establishment and RINO’s love to hate, Miller gave a fiery address to the large gathering of conservative activists.

Joe Miller spoke at the Western Conservative Conference in Phoenix on February 22, 2014. Introduced as the kind of candidate the Washington Establishment and RINO’s love to hate, Miller gave a fiery address to the large gathering of conservative activists.

Miller’s central message was that we all have to be engaged to take this country back and to bring it forward in the way it was designed by our Founders to be brought forward.

He warned that the fight will not be easy. Drawing from his own first-hand experience as a U.S. senate candidate in 2010, Miller noted, “When those in power saw that here was somebody that wasn’t going to be bought. They knew this was somebody who wanted to see the American dream preserved for his children and grandchildren. Those are the type of people that DC fears. Those are the type of people they will do everything to fight against.”

Miller elicited his strongest crowd reaction, when he exhorted, “Call President Obama what he is and take him to account. Here is a lawless leader that doesn’t care about the rule of law. Where are our leaders in the House of Representative filing articles of impeachment? This man needs to go!”

Miller concluded his remarks with his firm conviction that “We have enough people to change the political climate of this country. We can show leadership, and we can bring America back to what the Founders intended.”

Republicans Strike Back at Harry Reid for Calling ObamaCare Victims Liars (+video)

/8 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Human Events In response to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bizarre declaration that all ObamaCare horror stories are false, and all the people lodging complaints are liars, the National Republican Senatorial Committee put together a devastating video that hits Reid with the weapon every ObamaCare-defending Democrat fears most: the truth. Short, simple, and damn near nuclear:

The media loves to give Reid a pass for these nasty little smear jobs, but this time he’s run afoul of the very same personalization Democrats are normally good at exploiting for their advantage. There are too many ObamaCare horror stories, too many ordinary Americans with names and faces; the magnitude of deception and failure built into this bill is too large to be ignored. If there was any winning play for the Democrats in 2014, slandering all of these people as liars was not it. They won’t be intimidated into silence, either.

The fate of the nation really shouldn’t be decided by individual anecdotes; gigantic programs which effect millions of lives should not be judged in a contest between a dozen people who really like them, and a dozen people who hate them. But such individual anecdotes have enormous currency in politics today, and no one has spent that currency more freely than the Obama Democrats, who have reduced the use of human props at press conferences to near-parody. They wouldn’t do that if they didn’t think it was working, so of course they’re uncomfortable when the same tactic is turned back against them.
