Birthers,’ Polls and Public Ignorance
New York Times, by Staff
There’s a new poll out, from Vanity Fair and 60 Minutes, showing that 24 percent of Americans don’t think that Barack Obama was born in the United States.
On MSNBC last night, Chris Hayes asked me about it, and I tried to suggest that polls like this should be taken with a large grain of salt — both because Americans will happily express all kinds of outlandish opinions to a pollster without necessarily meaning much by them (does almost half the public really believe in U.F.O.s
Comments:
Sorry Ladies...what goes around, comes around. How many believed some of these falsehoods promulgated by the MSM and other leftists: Bill Clinton was impeached because he had sex with an intern.
GWB lied about Saddam's WMD. 9/11 was an inside job.
0bama was a Constitutional Law Professor.
The SCOTUS 'selected' GWB to be president etc....
Sorry, but even if 0bama was born in America, he is NOT American."

Democrats add teacher money to war funding bill
Democrats add teacher money to war funding bill - Yahoo! News
"House Democrats, who are trying to pass a long-stalled war funding bill this week, have attached $10 billion to help local school districts avoid teacher layoffs when schools reopen."
Is it about time we realized just who the teacher unions really care about?

Ludacris dazzles 11,000 at Summer Celebration
Review: Ludacris dazzles 11,000 at Summer Celebration MLive.com
"One thing is for sure.
Summer Celebration had the right idea by bringing in Ludacris.
Rap hasn’t been as commonplace at the main stage shows in the past as other genres, and they would do well to include more of it next year."
Well, 11,000 on a Monday night is a great turnout.
It looks like having a "black night" at MSC does bring out the fans.
How many were African americans?
Wouldn't that be "inclusive"?

The Public Pension Crisis
The Way We Live Now - The Public Pension Crisis - NYTimes.com
"Ever since theWall Street crash, there has been a bull market in Google hits for “public pensions” and “crisis.”
Horror stories abound, like the one in Yonkers, where policemen in their 40s are retiring on $100,000 pensions (more than their top salaries), or in California, where payments to Calpers, the biggest state pension fund, have soared while financing for higher education has been cut.
Then there is New York City, where annual pension contributions (up sixfold in a decade) would be enough to finance entire new police and fire departments."
It is coming to EVERY community in our country!

The Cost of Unions
The Cost of Unions - Veronique de Rugy - The Corner on National Review Online
"The Cost of Unions [Veronique de Rugy]
Here is interesting some data:
Unionized public sector workers have much higher average wages and benefits than nonunionized public sector workers.
Bureau of Labor Statistics data in Table 2 show that union members have a 31-percent advantage in wages and a 68-percent advantage in benefits.
This line bears repeating: 'Union members have a 31-percent advantage in wages and a 68-percent advantage in benefits.'
That's from Chris Edwards' work on Public Sector Unions here.
He adds that even when one controls for the fact that states with generally higher wages tend to be more unionized, public-sector unions increase average pay levels by roughly 10 percent.
This information is interesting in the context of the following chart.
It shows that in 2009, for the first time ever, more public-sector employees (7.9 million) belonged to a union than did private-sector employees (7.4 million) despite there being five times more wage and salary workers in the private sector.
This helps explain some of the disparities between public- and private-sector compensation."

Inside the Black Panther case
ADAMS: Inside the Black Panther case - Washington Times
On the day President Obama was elected, armed men wearing the black berets and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were stationed at the entrance to a polling place in Philadelphia.
They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters and poll watchers.
After the election, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and those armed thugs.
I and other Justice attorneys diligently pursued the case and obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the charges.
Before a final judgment could be entered in May 2009, our superiors ordered us to dismiss the case.
The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career.
Because of the corrupt nature of the dismissal, statements falsely characterizing the case and, most of all, indefensible orders for the career attorneys not to comply with lawful subpoenas investigating the dismissal, this month I resigned my position as a Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney.
The federal voter-intimidation statutes we used against the New Black Panthers were enacted because America never realized genuine racial equality in elections.
Threats of violence characterized elections from the end of the Civil War until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Before the Voting Rights Act, blacks seeking the right to vote, and those aiding them, were victims of violence and intimidation.
But unlike the Southern legal system, Southern violence did not discriminate.
Black voters were slain, as were the white champions of their cause.
Some of the bodies were tossed into bogs and in one case in Philadelphia, Miss., they were buried together in an earthen dam.
Based on my firsthand experiences, I believe the dismissal of the Black Panther case was motivated by a lawless hostility toward equal enforcement of the law.
Others still within the department share my assessment.
The department abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens victimized by the New Black Panthers.
The dismissal raises serious questions about the department's enforcement neutrality in upcoming midterm elections and the subsequent 2012 presidential election.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has opened an investigation into the dismissal and the DOJ's skewed enforcement priorities. Attorneys who brought the case are under subpoena to testify, but the department ordered us to ignore the subpoena, lawlessly placing us in an unacceptable legal limbo.
And the democrooks tell us there is no voter fraud.
And their willing enablers in the MSM parrot the lie.
Their evil plan is simple:
1. Cover up EVERY case of voter fraud, even if it's GOPers cheating.(that's because democrook cheating is WAAAY more prevalent)
2. When voter fraud is reported by some renegade medium, bury it, deny it, make fun of the accusation.
3. When there is video, audio and dozens of eye witnesses, send it to Obama's "justice department" and, after the outrage has quieted, dismiss the case, order attorneys to illegally ignore subpoenas and deem it never to have happened.
4. Fully expect the MSM to actively bury the facts.
This is our Obama-nation folks.
