Boehner rules out impeachment: ‘Scam started by Democrats’

"Talk of impeachment was cooked up by a White House desperate for something to rally Democrats ahead of November’s elections, House Speaker John A. Boehner said Tuesday, flatly ruling out any action on the controversial suggestion."

“We have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans,” Mr. Boehner said. “Listen, it’s all a scam started by Democrats at the White House.”

Boston Globe Jeff Jacoby: "Democrats losing moral clarity on Israel"

"[B]elow the surface, America’s Israel-friendly consensus is splitting along the same left-vs.-right fault line that has polarized so many other issues. While support for Israel is overwhelming among Republicans and conservatives, it has been shrinking among Democrats and liberals. “The partisan gap in Mideast sympathies has never been wider,” reports Pew, with 73 percent of Republicans sympathetic to Israel in the ongoing conflict, but just 44 percent of Democrats. Respondents identifying as liberal Democrats were five times as likely as conservative Republicans to sympathize more with the Palestinians."

Thus is the Democratic Party losing its way on one of the great moral issues of our time.

For roughly the first third of Israel’s existence, Democrats tended to support the Jewish state more strongly than Republicans did. In a compelling new book, “Making David into Goliath: How the World Turned Against Israel,” foreign-affairs thinker Joshua Muravchik writes that during the run-up to the Six Day War in 1967, “Israel was above all a cause championed by liberals.” So heartfelt was this support that even ardent Democratic opponents of the Vietnam War, such as John Kenneth Galbraith and Eugene McCarthy, advocated US military action on Israel’s behalf.

Only over the last 25 years has support for Israel grown so much greater among Republicans than among Democrats. The reasons for the divergence are many. On the right, they include the high value Republicans have attached to Israel as a stable ally in a very unstable region, as well as the migration to the GOP of evangelical Christians, many of whom support the Jewish state as a matter of transcendent conviction.

But on the left, the Israeli-Arab dispute itself has been redefined. (read more)

Democrat Frazier Glenn Miller

DEMOCRAT

AKA Frazier Glenn Cross, nutter, Democrat. KKK member, so Democrat. White Supremest, huh, now you'd think that would be far right, wouldn't you? I guess far right in the nutter extreme intersects far nutter left, at any rate Democrat in this case, and that is important, don't you think? We always hear it conversely so it must be important. Considering all the obsession about guns and narrowing rights does come from Democrats. As a gun-hater, that scares me more. And he is ex Green Beret, there again I'd presume far right, but no, Democrat this time. Odd case. Democrat. Democrat. Democrat. Democrat. Keeps ringing in my ears and I'm beginning to formulate Democrats might not be so careful as a group when it comes to guns and responsible gun ownership, gun management, and gun handling. I'm pretty sure the guy is Democrat, I got carried away with Party-affiliation there for a minute and almost forgot, Democrat candidate for North Carolina governor, Frazier Glenn Miller killed three people in Kansas City outside a Jewish Community Center. One of the victims a fourteen year old boy. He would have just passed his bar mitzvah.

Kansas City is oddly divided between two states. You got your Kansas City Missouri and your Kansas City, Kansas. We can expect some Democratic-like schizophrenia

I made a gif just for this that flashes words in stark black and white  DEMOCRAT, and NEO-NAZI and DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE GOVERNOR NORTH CAROLINA, and WHITE SUPREMACIST and RACISM and VIOLENCE and BLACK and JEWS flashing at .1 second and .01 second cycling forever over and over 500px by 500px and it is horrible so I threw it away. The thing could bring on a seizure. If I was Democrat then I would probably also post it.

I guess I shouldn't rush to judgement, at this point the Democrat Frazier Glenn Miller is only a suspect but I think given observable history of reporting these things it the only possible Democrat reaction within Democrat imagination is bust a legislative move on non-nutter, non-Democrat, non racist gun owners.
 And, DEMOCRAT.

"Study: Having daughters makes parents more likely to be Republican"

"In newly published findings that challenge earlier research, Dalton Conley of New York University and Emily Rauscher of the University of Kansas found that having more daughters than sons and having a daughter first “significantly reduces the likelihood of Democratic identification and significantly increases the strength of Republican Party identification.”

Not only is the daughter effect statistically significant, it’s substantively large. They found that overall, “compared to those with no daughters, parents with all daughters are 14% less likely to identify as a Democrat….[and] 11% more likely to identify as a Republican than parents with no daughters,” they write in the journal Sociological Forum.

The daughters effect is considerably stronger among better educated and wealthier parents, they find. But among those farther down the socioeconomic ladder, it weakens to statistical insignificance.
