On September 13, 2011, Democrats got shellacked in NY-9 and lost that seat for the first time in almost 90 years in large part because orthodox Jews, who make up a large part of Brooklyn, voted against Dems as a protest against Obama’s policies on Israel and the issue of Palestine.

Move forward by a week and we see the Palestinians pressing for a vote on recognizing statehood for Palestine!  Imagine that.  Naturally, Obama states that the US will veto any such vote and the media paint him as Israel’s friend.

Obama cannot have orchestrated it much better – he looks like Israel’s friend despite three years of anti-Israel policy.  Further, if Obama hasn’t made it clear that he’s Israel’s friend then he’s made it clear that they don’t want him as their enemy.

Imagine this – you wake up one beautiful morning, your mind clearing, the clouds parting, it’s the day after election day and our national nightmare is over and Obama has been defeated.  You turn on the news that morning to revel in our national celebration, but the first item you hear is that Abbas has petitioned the UN for a vote on Palestinian statehood again and the vote will be in a couple days (as this recent petition shows, it only requires a minimal notice before a vote may be had).  A little while later Obama gives a speech and announces that his administration will not veto the vote this time around. The UN, without our opposition, votes in favor of Palestinian statehood and, if Israel won’t agree, then it may try to impose what it determines the boundaries are upon Israel through sanctions or, G_d forbid, military action.

Basically, the tandem of the Palestinian petition and Obama’s veto threat send a clear signal to Jewish voters that, win-or-lose, if there is insufficient support of Obama by Jewish voters and he loses swing states such as Pennsylvania and Florida, then his administration has plenty of time to cause havoc for Israel in the UN before he leaves office.  After all, at the beginning of his presidency he called the Israeli settlements “illegitimate” and just last year he stated that there would be a Palestinian state established within one year. What makes anyone believe he’s changed his mind since then?

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has reversed the lawless judge Sumi — in the JS’s words “The court concluded that Sumi exceeded her jurisdiction, “invaded” the Legislature’s constitutional powers and erred in halting the publication and implementation of the collective bargaining law.”

Basically, the court said that the Legislature acted within the law and within it’s power when it enacted the Union busting law.   In what may have been a wonderfully cathartic act, Justice Prosser wrote a separate concurring opinion to rub some salt in the loony left’s wound.

The Court said that Judge Sumi’s decision was void ab initio – therefore any collective bargaining done by the unions after the passing of the law are likely null and void.

The Journal Sentinal’s article is here: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The decision is found here: Wisconsin v. Fitzgerald, et al.

Update:  Naturally, since it’s now a law, Big Union has sued to enjoin the enforcement of the law.  Big surprise there – apparently neither the decision nor the timing of the decision came as much of a surprise to them.  You can find more here:  Wisconsin Unions Sue

Let’s see, politician does something stupid or deceitful -or in this case both.  However, the news articles in local and national news sources don’t identify the politician’s political affiliation.  Is he an independent then?  Will the readers be left to their own prejudices to read-into which party he belongs to?  Is his party affiliation a deep hush-hush state secret that reporter could not discover after many intensive hours of searching?  Nope.  Just another democrat who lied but the MSM can’t manage to put a (D) next to his name – or anywhere else in the story.

Oh,what did the Democrat actually do?  He claimed on his bio that he played for three years for the Dallas Cowboys.  Only problem is, the Cowboys have never heard of the guy before.  Now he’s backtracking saying that he went to a camp but was cut by them.  Ask the Cowboys: “We have no record of him playing for the Dallas Cowboys,” team spokesperson Jancy Briles told me. Briles looked through NFL databases and couldn’t find a single reference to Vaughn as a player, either.

As noted in my previous diary, Steele recently said in a speech that blacks didn’t have a reason to vote for Republicans.   Jon Stewart picks up on this and rips it good – noting that blacks have plenty of good reasons to vote Republican – Nixon’s affirmative action, Voting Rights Act, school vouchers, etc.  For good measure, he interviewed Ken Blackwell subsequently. It was a thorough drubbing and absolutely spot on.  Watch it and enjoy.

Michael Steele, the wonderful Chairman of the Republican National Committee who takes between $8,000-20,000 to give a speech, has decided to denigrate the party and make the GOP out to be a bunch of racist hicks.

As reported by the Chicago-Sun Times:

Why should an African-American vote Republican?

“You really don’t have a reason to, to be honest — we haven’t done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True,” Republican National Chairman Michael Steele told 200 DePaul University students Tuesday night.

“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”

RINO’s like Steele will always be traitors to the party. How can Steele, a politician from Maryland (which went for Obama by a 62%-38% margin), be anything other than a RINO? RINOs have no loyalty to anything other than their own aggrandizement and will turn on the party the second they think it will suit their purposes (see: Crist).  Steele would be much more comfortable in the Democratic party – after all, he thinks the GOP has nothing to offer blacks (which is far from the truth – the GOP just has nothing to offer race baiters, traitors and those who hold our Constitution in contempt; for any black person who holds life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness dear in his or her heart, the GOP has much to offer). Ours is a party that is based on principals held with conviction, not the amount of melanin one has in their epidermis.

As conservatives gain ascendancy within the party, Steele will eventually get the heave-ho, the only question is whether he flames out before or after November 2010.  My guess is that after he is booted from the job, after doing as much damage as he can, he will join the Democratic party and write some agitprop book railing at the GOP as a racist cabal and that he is a martyr in the march for civil rights and the MMS will eat-it-up like Rosie O’Donnell in a bon-bon factory because it conforms to the hallucinated worldview created by their liberal delirium.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow.  Jason Levin, who through his website “crashtheteaparty.org” advocated the “demolition” of the Tea Parties through “false flag” operations using moles appearing at the rallies dressed as Nazis, loonies and haters of every ilk, is now under investigation.  Levin is a “media teacher” at an Oregon middle school.  He is is on administrative leave and is being investigated by the State licensing board and by his local school district for having used his employer’s resources and time to conduct his political hit-job and to determine whether he is fit to teach. The school district has said that if he did his hit-job on his own time then it’s just free speech and none of their business, but I wonder if they’d say the same if he hosted a web-site that espoused Nazi ideology instead of merely advocating that people lie and proclaim they believe in Nazi ideology in order to defame a political movement?  In either case, he’s not fit to be teaching kids.

The evidence is mounting daily that Crist will not only bolt the GOP to run as an “independent” (read Democrat lacky),  but do so in a manner calculated to cause as much damage to the GOP as possible:

Exhibit 1:  Crist has asked for a federal probe of state GOP finances. Crist said “It’s a mess. This thing stinks.” and he stated they should examine the use of party credit cards by top GOP lawmakers.  This mirrors his allegations against Crist’s use of a state GOP credit card.  It’s pretty clear he wants to give his allegations legs so they’ll run well into the campaign season.

Exhibit 2:  His campaign manager has bolted.

Exhibit 3.  The Miami Herald is trumping a Quinnipiac poll showing Crist possibly ahead if he runs as an independent in a three-way race.  This poll of registered (not likely) voters runs contrary to the recent poll by Rasmussen showing Rubio winning in a walk-away if Crist runs as an independent.

Exhibit 4:  After he vetoed the education reform bill, he went to what was effectively a campaign rally held by teachers at a local high school and posed as a “post-political” politician, proclaiming  “The people spoke and they spoke loudly.  It is the power of people over politics.”  and “It has nothing to do with politics at all.  It has everything to do with children.” I’m only surprised he didn’t say it would cure world hunger.

After the veto the next speaker of the House, Rep. Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, withdrew his endorsement of Crist. So did Rep. John Tobia, R-Satellite Beach. Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, chairman of the state Republican Party, was asked whether Crist is a “real Republican.” His reply: “He’s got an `R’ in back of his name right now.”  A somewhat less than glowing comment.

Given what we’ve seen this week we can expect to see Crist coming out and announcing that he’s running as an independent because the state GOP has drifted too far to the right and he’s disillusioned with the corruption of the local GOP.  Pointing to his called for federal probe he will claim that he is the candidate of fiscal responsibility.
