Netanyahu Schools Barack on Mideast Peace

  “What we want is peace – not a piece of paper”


Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with US President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Monday, pushing back against pressure from the White House to swiftly cut a deal with the Palestinians as the president warned time was running out for peace.
“Israel has been doing its part, and I regret to say that the Palestinians haven’t,” Netanyahu said to Obama, in front of the press. “The people of Israel know that it’s the case.”
“What we want is peace – not a piece of paper,” he said.
Netanyahu called for a “real peace… based on mutual recognition,” and chided his Palestinian counterparts for promoting “incessant violence” against the Jewish state.
“Israel, the Jewish state, is the realization of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination,” Netanyahu said. “I think it’s about time they recognized a nation state for the Jewish people. The time frame that we have set up for completing these negotiations is coming near and some tough decisions are going to have to be made." 
"We’ve only been here for about 4,000 years.”

Homopocrisy

Homopocrisy - the false profession of desirable or publicly approved qualities, beliefs, or feelings, esp. a pretense of having virtues, moral principles, or beliefs. (The Middle Finger Somewhat Concise Dictionary - Vol.II)

OH..OH wait. I thought you called people who refused.......Oh never mind.  

New York Daily News
"New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez needs a new hairdresser — or a new stance on gay marriage. Martinez was recently dropped by her hair stylist, Antonio Darden, who is gay.
Darden told a local news station that he cut the governor’s hair three times, but won’t do it again as long as she continues to oppose gay marriage. “The governor’s aides called not too long ago, wanting another appointment to come in,” he told KOB-TV. “Because of her stances and her views on this, I told her aides no. They called the next day, asking if I’d changed my mind about taking the governor in and I said no.”
Martinez has said she believes marriage should be between a man and woman. Darden, a popular stylist in Santa Fe and the owner of Antonio’s Hair Studio, has been with his partner for 15 years.
“It’s just equality, dignity for everyone,” he said. “Everybody should be allowed the right to be together.” 
 Gay marriage is not recognized in New Mexico."

Putin Is The “Weak” One, Not Obama…

"A senior administration official took issue with a reporter’s suggestion Sunday that the Ukraine crisis has left President Obama with “a credibility problem around the world with other foreign leaders, and particularly very strong ones like [Russian President] Vladimir Putin.”
The official, one of three speaking during a background teleconference briefing, said on the contrary, Putin was the one looking weak after Obama rallied support to condemn his takeover of Ukraine’s Crimea region.
“The premise of your question is that [Putin] is strong and the president of the United States is weak, when, in fact, he is not acting from a position of strength right now,” the official told the reporter, Fox News’ James Rosen."

Obama / Biden Score Oscar

(MFNS) - LA - Through all the bad jokes, fake laughter and overdressed surgically enhanced pretenders, one award at the 86th Academy Awards brought the house to it's feet in the surprise announcement of the night's ceremonies.  

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored President Barack Obama with a little man of his own by winning a new category, "Best Actor Role in a Live Action Comedy" for his portrayal of a World Leader in the sequel to the popular "The Obama Administration", with this years hit "A Bus Full of Bozos."  




No surprise to anyone, Vice President Joe Biden grabbed the Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor Role in a Comedy.Academy spokesperson Marie Snodenburg told MFNS  "Joe Biden's body of work over the years made him a perennial shoe-in for the category." 

While Mr. Biden was voted his statue unanimously, the president narrowly edged out Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, for his award.  Snodenburg said some voting members thought Mayor Ford was much more believable in his role as leader. 

This is believed the first time a comedy team has swept an entire category. 

Soon after the award ceremonies were over the White House announced that Russian president, Vladimir Putin, gave a congratulatory call to President Obama and told him he was thrilled for him and had parked two nuclear submarines off the East Coast of the U.S. in his honor.

"After my election I'll have more flexibility....."


America and the Aggressive Left

"Conservatives sometimes feel exhausted from trying to fight back on a million fronts. A leftist might say: "Yes, that's the plan." But the left too is damaged. They look hollowed out and incoherent. Their victories, removed of meaning, are only the triumphs of small aggressions." -  Peggy Noonan 

WSJ
"The constant mischief of the progressive left is hurting the nation's morale. There are few areas of national life left in which they are not busy, and few in which they're not making it worse. There are always more regulations, fees and fiats, always more cultural pressure and insistence.
The president brags he has a pen and a phone. He uses the former to sign executive orders. It is not clear why he mentioned the latter since he rarely attempts to bring legislators over to his side. Who exactly is he calling? The most hopeful thing he's done is signal this week what he'll be up to after he leaves. He will work with young minority men. Good. He is a figure of inspiration to them, and they need and deserve encouragement. This also leaves us understanding for the first time the true purpose of his so far.
We are suffering in great part from the politicization of everything and the spread of government not in a useful way but a destructive one. Everyone wants to help the poor, the old and the sick; the safety net exists because we want it. But voters and taxpayers feel bullied, burdened and jerked around, which again is not new but feels more intense every day. Common sense and native wit tell them America is losing the most vital part of itself in the continuing shift of power from private to public. Rules, regulations, many of them stupid, from all the agencies—local, state, federal—on the building of a house, or the starting of a business.
It's all part of the malaise, the sclerosis. So is the eroding end of the idea that religious scruples and beliefs have a high place that must culturally and politically be respected. The political-media complex is bravely coming down on florists with unfashionable views."
