http://twitter.com/#!/dap1510/status/415298899926986752 http://twitter.com/#!/CaterW/status/415391849868570624

It may be Christmas Eve, but there’s no rest for our men and women in uniform defending freedom and securing peace 24/7/365. Grateful Americans sent up prayers for the U.S. Marines who’ve been dispatched to South Sudan, where civil war has created a deadly catastrophe as thousands seek to flee. Several American servicemen were wounded last week during evacuation efforts.

May their mission be successful and may they all come home safe and sound.

President Big Spender: ‘We can’t just keep throwing money at the problem’

http://twitter.com/#!/BarackObama/status/476063330310696962

Please. Says the guy who’s helped propel the national debt to over $17.5 trillion. Says the guy who spends our money like it’s going out of style.

http://twitter.com/#!/TheBrandonMorse/status/476063455250624512

Oh yeah. If there’s anyone who can “keep throwing money” at problems indefinitely, it’s Barack Obama. After all, it’s no skin off his Pinocchio nose.

Al Sharpton has ‘long, significant’ meeting with Obama on voting rights

http://twitter.com/#!/ManOfReal/status/361948857573195776You might remember that President Obama used Saturday’s weekly address to reiterate the commitment he made earlier in the week in his speech at Knox College: “to spend every minute of every day doing everything in my power to make this economy work for working Americans again.” And he’ll get right on that, maybe starting tomorrow. Today was devoted to a long lunch date with Hillary Clinton and a meeting with Al Sharpton, Attorney General Eric Holder and dozens of others to discuss the Voting Rights Act.http://twitter.com/#!/TheRevAl/status/361945987473870849Sharpton found time to write a blog post about the meeting for the Huffington Post, and if his piece is an accurate representation, he and the president spent a lot of time talking about Fox News host Bill O’Reilly — the guy “turncoat mofo” Don Lemon dared to suggest had a point about black culture. O’Reilly’s criticisms are just a distraction, see.The issues of gangster glorification, out-of-wedlock births, the Black family crisis and others are ones that I absolutely agree we must deal with, and I have unequivocally preached about them and others for years. But when they are being used as a distraction from dealing with the very real dilemmas of ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, voting rights and an unbalanced criminal justice system, then I must call foul. Right-wingers and gullible co-conspirators who don’t want to see this country confront voter equality, and a just criminal court system will stop at nothing it seems to divert people’s attention from the challenges we face as a nation. Even as I write this, states are currently engaged in voter suppression tactics yet again by implementing draconian new voter ID laws, eliminating/reducing early voting days and much more.Texas, Holder’s prime target for new legislation, was among the first to pass one of those “draconian” voter ID laws once the Supreme Court struck down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. In short, the state is giving out voter IDs for free at every driver’s license office in the state, and they’re good for six years. However, applicants must have documentation to verify their U.S. citizenship and identity — that must be the draconian part.http://twitter.com/#!/aloysiusmiller/status/361959733864833026 http://twitter.com/#!/TinPotDickTator/status/361951231641526274Related:Brit Hume: Al Sharpton’s continued prominence ‘simply amazing’Boom-tastic!

Paul Begala twists Joni Ernst’s #2A statement into call for violence

http://twitter.com/#!/PaulBegala/status/525338353622077440

In 2012, Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst told an audience that she carries a gun to protect her family and her rights should the government ever try to take them away.

Paul Begala (and others) are now framing Ernst’s quote to mean that she supports violent revolution against the U.S. government, including police and soldiers:

That’s not what Ernst was talking about and Begala knows it, but hey, there’s an election coming up and Dem desperation is high.

Others took that ball from Begala and ran with it:

If Ernst were actually supporting violent revolution against the U.S. government she’d be kind of stupid for trying to get elected to the Senate, wouldn’t she?
