Mike Huckabee Goes On Insane Rant: I Will Call Down Fire From Heaven If I Have To (Video) March 24, 2015 By Allen Clifton 37 Comments 26k215 I’m ashamed to admit it wasn’t all that long ago that I actually considered Mike Huckabee an example of a “decent Republican.” To be fair, I didn’t know a great deal about the man when I believed such a thing, but I just never recall him being this bizarre. The few stories I had come across about him always seemed fairly sane and I never remember seeing anything from the man as absurd as I’ve seen here lately.

Remaking Clinton, One Burrito Bowl at a Time .......................................................................... Tampa Bay Times ^ \| 04/16/15 \| Daniel Ruth Message: After nearly 25 years on the national political stage, she has discovered she cares deeply about the much-beleaguered American middle class. Reaction: Better late than never. To underscore her bourgeoisie bona fides, the Evita of Chappaqua embarked on a populist road trip from New York to Iowa, even stopping for some fast food at a Chipotle restaurant near Toledo to demonstrate she can rub great unwashed elbows with the best of ambitious politicians. Nothing says "Hail to the Chief" more than a burrito bowl. Still, Clinton better be careful during this Nighthawks diner phase of the campaign. The patrician John Kerry tried the common man approach in 2004 and came off as the Thurston Howell III of the stump. So as Clinton noshed her way across the Midwest, we are confronted again with a campaign that could more closely resemble the cranky, know-it-all in-law moving into the house — for the next 18 months. There were many justifiable knocks on Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, including her not too subtle message that she was entitled to the White House as a matter of Manifest Destiny. She also was ill-served by a hapless, bumbling, feuding campaign staff that made a Three Stooges pie fight look like Bolshoi ballet precision. This time, instead of coming off as the Lady Macbeth of the Beltway, the strategy appears to be to recast Clinton 2.0 (or is it 8.0?) as a kinder, gentler soul who understands the struggles of average Americans drawn on lessons she's learned after years of collecting $200,000 speaking fees. The task of transforming Clinton from the cunning Alexis Carrington of Pennsylvania Avenue into the June Cleaver of the nuclear codes has fallen to Kristina Schake, a former image consultant to first lady Michelle Obama. It was Schake who came up with the idea of sending Obama on a shopping spree to Target and making self-effacing appearances on such shows as Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where the first lady Mom danced with the host. Imagine Clinton doing the hokey pokey with David Letterman. On second thought, don't. You can see the handiwork of Schake at play in Clinton channeling her inner Charles Kuralt by going on the road, engaging small groups of Iowans over coffee and avoiding her traveling press entourage as if they were process servers. Still, for all the fuzzy-wuzzy optics, a Hillary Clinton is a Hillary Clinton is a Hillary Clinton. This is a woman who has been a ubiquitous presence on the American political scene for decades. And it will be no easy challenge to suddenly convince people Clinton has emerged as a sweetie pie Mary Lou Retton of the electoral college. But that is not her biggest problem moving forward. Her biggest problem is Kate McKinnon of Saturday Night Live. McKinnon has crafted a brutally telling caricature of Hillary Clinton lampooning all of the candidate's worst stereotypes as a bloodless, duplicitous, elitist, power-hungry narcissist. The damning portrayal works so well because it resonates so well. Political figures can deal with the harsh indictments of the punditocracy. Savvy candidates can fend for themselves in the hardball glare of a debate. But surviving the problematic tag as a national punch line is far more vexing. Perhaps the next time Clinton drops in at a Chipotle she should skip the burrito bowl and head straight to the margaritas.

Daniel Pipes Explains the ‘Obama Doctrine’ in One Sentence ....................................................................... PJ Media ^ \| 14 April 2015 \| Kathy Shaidle “Snarl at your friends, smile at your enemies.” Dr. Pipes tells TheRebel.media’s Ezra Levant (who he was pretty impressed with…) that “doctrine” is a slight exaggeration since much of what’s been happening around the world can be explained by sheer incompetence on the president’s part. He adds, however, that a lot of these foreign policy “blunders” are intentional. They’re the direct result of Obama’s anti-American ideology — and even his personal psychology. This thought-provoking, in-depth interview covers a lot of ground: the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia and much more. (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
