Rep. Keith Ellison likens pro-amnesty fasters to Rosa Parks

http://twitter.com/#!/keithellison/status/407673237179744256 We don’t quite see the parallel that Rep. Keith Ellison does. Rosa Parks was alone in her brave act of civil disobedience in 1955. The “Fast for Families” protesters who have set up in tents on the National Mall, on the other hand, have been visited personally by President Obama and first lady Michelle…

‘Wrong’: Fox News’ Jim Angle nails White House for Obamacare lies

http://twitter.com/#!/JimAngleFox/status/420306240510492672 As Twitchy reported, Jay Carney tried to pull a fast one by insisting that the White House doesn’t have access to accurate demographic data on Obamacare.

‘I’m sure Putin just wet himself’: John Kerry takes to Twitter, boldly says nothing

http://twitter.com/#!/AaronWorthing/status/440180462485774336 We’ve already seen what might be John Kerry’s most ludicrous remark about Russia yet.

Angry lefties scold SCOTUSblog for Hobby Lobby decision; Just one problem…

http://twitter.com/#!/JumpyNelson/status/483645678749376513 SCOTUSblog is a fantastic resource for learning about all-things related to the U.S. Supreme Court. The SCOTUSblog Twitter feed says on the main page that they are “a private blog about the Supreme Court of the U.S.” “Private,” as in “not part of the Supreme Court.” But learning the background information about SCOTUSblog before…

http://twitter.com/#!/exjon/status/407684563171692544 Is there any occasion the White House won’t turn into an ego stroke for the narcissist in chief? Whether it’s honoring Rosa Parks, Neil Armstrong, JFK or his own chief of staff, it’s all about Obama.

Time for another game of ‘let’s contrast David Cameron, Barack Obama’

http://twitter.com/#!/Mamadoxie/status/506454175480565761 This was shown yet again recently when we compared David Cameron’s response to the barbaric beheading of James Foley with Obama’s. But it’s time for another round of compare and contrast. Heightened terrorist threats? Whatever. Let’s hit the links! And then maybe blather about the minimum wage or something.
