President Obama No Bill Clinton on Economic, Budget Policies

At IBD, "Obama, You're No Bill Clinton On Economic Policies":

When the Democratic Party announced that Bill Clinton would deliver a prime-time speech at its convention in early Septem ber, convention head Antonio Villaraigosa left no doubt as to why.

"President Clinton oversaw the longest economic expansion in U.S. history," he said, "pursuing many of the same policies that President Obama is proposing and implementing today."

That's a message Obama has been delivering himself — repeatedly — at campaign stops as he tries to make an argument for a second term amid a historically sluggish economic recovery.

"Just like their theories have been tested and didn't work," he said, "my theories have been tested. The last time they were tried was by a guy named Bill Clinton. And we created 23 million new jobs, went from deficits to surplus."

But a review of the record shows that Obama's policies — enacted or proposed — bear little resemblance to those adopted by Clinton during his eight years.

Here's a rundown...

Walter James Casper III, Hate-Blogger and Internet Stalker, Harasses Gay-Politics Activist Evan Hurst on Twitter

This is why hate-blogger Walter James Casper III, a.k.a. Repsac3, is blocked from my blog --- and this is why the evil "Hatesac" has been exposed, repudiated, and blocked all over the right wing blogosphere. When Zilla put up a huge "roll call" of conservatives supporting me against workplace intimidation, Hatesac3 infiltrated her comments and was promptly banned. As I wrote at the time: "RACIST = REPSAC's a nut case. A raving hatemonger and lunatic."

So now it turns out that Hatesac3 is an equal-opportunity predator. There's this guy, Evan Hurst, who is the Director of Social Media at Truth Wins Out, an extreme far-left blog pushing homosexual rights. He seems like a reasonable guy. But right on cue, Hatesac3 launched a Twitter campaign stalking him after looking to leach a copy of an article Hurst posted on Chick-fil-A:

As good as it feels to have politicians telling Chick-Fil-A to get lost, it's actually not okay bit.ly/MMeAUo #p2 #lgbt
— Evan Hurst (@EvanHurst) July 26, 2012

The entry at Truth Wins Out has been taken down, as perhaps not defending the left's hateful fascist attacks on Chick-fil-A. But Hatesac3 wants it anyways, to fuel his deranged Internet predations, no doubt. After Hurst basically blew off Hatesac3 as a nuisance, our infamous progressive stalker started berating the dude:

@evanhurst What became of this honest post about the Boston and Chicago elected officials bad response to chickfila? #disappeardapointed
— J. Casper (@repsac3) July 28, 2012

@evanhurst Would love a copy, thanks. Reader commentary below--both 4 & against--was good, too. Pulling it was BAD, imo. Tell the bosses.

@evanhurst ---> VERY disappointed that you refused to answer my tweets for the last 3-4 days and just say so. Dig your writing, still, but..
— J. Casper (@repsac3) August 3, 2012

@evanhurst then consider my bad thoughts about you (expressed and otherwise) rescinded. Look forward to reading it again...
— J. Casper (@repsac3) August 4, 2012

@evanhurst Just a reminder: Chick-fil-A post to repsac3blogs@gmail.com Thank you.
— J. Casper (@repsac3) August 6, 2012

Mr. Hurst has not dropped out of sight, as indicated by his Twitter feed. So perhaps he's just trying to be polite in the hopes that deranged obsessive Hatesac3 will just let it got. Mr. Hurst explained that he'd just been swamped, and as it's a fresh week, maybe he'll still forward that piece to the despicable Hatesac3. Seriously, after that much harassment, I'd just send it to the f-king criminal Hatesac3 just to get him off my back. Either that, or I'd notify the authorities. Look at that deranged Internet harassment. For crying out loud, Hatesac3, get a life motherf-ker!

Wade Michael Page Identified as Suspect in Sikh Temple Massacre

The guy was a freak. If this guy got in my face I would have kicked his ass, as I would if a neo-commie terrorist was hassling me.

Michelle has this, "Sikh temple shooting: Details on gunman emerge; donation drive for victims launched":

I’ll leave the vulgar politicization of this evil massacre to others. The usual suspects are in full-blown Blame Righty Syndrome mode. They are as ghoulish and galling as the disgusting Westboro publicity hounds.

And right on cue, No More Mr. Nice Blog smears conservatives for the actions of a purported neo-Nazi, from the comments:

Unfortunately, a la McVeigh at al., the MSM won't for the most part draw the connection between this killer on the one hand, and the whole hate-thy-political/cultural/religious/racial-enemy toxicity that has permeated the Right's rhetoric for decades, on the other hand. I personally think the connection is indisputable and glaringly obvious, but so what?

That is disgusting.

More at Wizbang, "Sikh Temple Investigated As Domestic Terrorism, Ft. Hood Shooting Is Still Just “Work Place Violence”."

Yeah, that's what I said:

Neat how #WI shooting called "domestic terrorism" so soon. After Ft. Hood we were told by DHS that it wasn't terrorism just "isolated" case.

Check Memeorandum for more. And from My Pet Jawa, "Shooting At Sikh Temple (Updated/Bumped Killer Identified as Wade Michael Page)."

And remember, conservatives repudiate people like this, on the extreme right-wing fringe. Progressives, on the other hand, embrace their fringe extremists.

I expect Rachel Maddow to launch a new series tying the suspect's purported hate-group affiliations to the GOP. Someone like that does not speak for conservatives. All Americans should be condemning this violence. It's too bad that the leftists jumped immediately to destroy their political opponents before the facts were in, and it's especially awful now, considering how unrepresentative is the suspect to any mainstream organizations on the right.

British Patriotism Explodes at London Olympic Games

This was at the Los Angeles Times on Friday, "London Olympics: British patriotism blossoms amid the Games."

And that day Britain's Mo Farah won the gold medal in the men's 10,000m --- and the entire stadium was on rocket boots. See Telegraph UK, "Mo Farah makes history as first British man to take gold in Olympic 10000m." It was a great sporting moment. And I loved when American Galen Rupp gave Farah a big hug (more here on that).

And here's Martin Samuel at the Daily Mail, "Thank you, sport... for lifting our spirits even in the toughest of times."

Now Usain Bolt is Jamaican, but you do get that explosive vibe on the cover of this morning's Dail Mail. And here's a report, "Lightning Bolt strikes gold: Usain storms to 100m glory and he answers his critics with resounding victory in 9.63 seconds." And Jamaica's a former colony of Britain --- and the island nation remains in the Commonwealth --- so there's some natural affinity. See the New York Times, "Usain Bolt of Jamaica Overjoys Britain With 100-Meter Gold."

EXTRA: I can agree with this: "Two BILLION people watch Usain Bolt's win... but none of them in America: Sports fans outraged as NBC fails to show 100m final live on TV."

It Sucks for Children of Same-Sex Couples

Actually, it might not completely suck, but if it's important that a child grow up secure and healthy with both male and female adult role-models, then same-sex parenting is clearly inferior.

From Robert Oscar Lopez, "Growing Up With Two Moms: The Untold Children’s View" (via Darleen Click):

Between 1973 and 1990, when my beloved mother passed away, she and her female romantic partner raised me. They had separate houses but spent nearly all their weekends together, with me, in a trailer tucked discreetly in an RV park 50 minutes away from the town where we lived. As the youngest of my mother’s biological children, I was the only child who experienced childhood without my father being around.

After my mother’s partner’s children had left for college, she moved into our house in town. I lived with both of them for the brief time before my mother died at the age of 53. I was 19. In other words, I was the only child who experienced life under “gay parenting” as that term is understood today.

Quite simply, growing up with gay parents was very difficult, and not because of prejudice from neighbors. People in our community didn’t really know what was going on in the house. To most outside observers, I was a well-raised, high-achieving child, finishing high school with straight A’s.

Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is so drastically different from everyone around you, in a fundamental way striking at basic physical relations, you grow up weird. I have no mental health disorders or biological conditions. I just grew up in a house so unusual that I was destined to exist as a social outcast.

My peers learned all the unwritten rules of decorum and body language in their homes; they understood what was appropriate to say in certain settings and what wasn’t; they learned both traditionally masculine and traditionally feminine social mechanisms.

Even if my peers’ parents were divorced, and many of them were, they still grew up seeing male and female social models. They learned, typically, how to be bold and unflinching from male figures and how to write thank-you cards and be sensitive from female figures. These are stereotypes, of course, but stereotypes come in handy when you inevitably leave the safety of your lesbian mom’s trailer and have to work and survive in a world where everybody thinks in stereotypical terms, even gays.

I had no male figure at all to follow, and my mother and her partner were both unlike traditional fathers or traditional mothers. As a result, I had very few recognizable social cues to offer potential male or female friends, since I was neither confident nor sensitive to others. Thus I befriended people rarely and alienated others easily. Gay people who grew up in straight parents’ households may have struggled with their sexual orientation; but when it came to the vast social universe of adaptations not dealing with sexuality—how to act, how to speak, how to behave—they had the advantage of learning at home. Many gays don’t realize what a blessing it was to be reared in a traditional home.

Continue reading.

And from Darleen:

It is unfortunate that this man had been ill-served by his upbringing. I find myself discussing with same-sex marriage advocates about the issues of gender and how men and women are just not fungible. The advocates all fall back on that any differences between the sexes are “social constructs” nothing more. Even when I have brought up the fact that there have been widely different societies throughout history, but the male/female paradigm has remained constant (even if the numbers of partners within a marriage has not) … I actually got the jaw-dropping response that all that proved was “millennium of bigotry.”

Same-sex couples regardless of legal status, do commit and do have children. They will not do their off-spring any favors in buying into the myth that gender can be ignored.

Well, you're not supposed to deviate from the accepted narrative.

Japan Observes 67th Anniversary of Hiroshima Attack

At London's Daily Mail, "Prayers for peace: Japanese light hundreds of lanterns to mark the 67th anniversary of those killed in Hiroshima bombings."

I post on this every year and it's always the same thing: the U.S. was horrible for dropping the bomb, etc., etc., and so forth.

But the U.S. decision to drop the bomb shortened the war and saved lives. Sixty-seven years later the world community lives under an American peace that allows such protests. When the U.S. pulls back from international leadership --- whenever that day arrives, this century or beyond --- there won't be any such guarantees of peace and prosperity, no automatic safety of the U.S.-led international order.

Dan Richter, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Butler, Describes Last Days of The Beatles

At London's Daily Mail, "What John and Yoko's butler saw: A surreal account of the Lennons' live-in assistant during the last dark days of The Beatles":

I remember the day I was at Harrods, ordering white carpet for John and Yoko. It was to be specially made from natural unbleached wool on extra large looms in China. Another day, on a trip to town, I found white marble Empire mantelpieces.

One of my favourite finds was a Queen Anne Chinoiserie desk for John. In their bathroom, they wanted a gigantic circular tub. We considered willow-pattern antique toilets, but settled on modern.

John wanted a bed like a turntable for Tittenhurst, their Berkshire mansion, so we ordered a circular one. An army of people was established to accomplish all these and 1,000 other tasks.

I lived with Yoko and Lennon for four years; an insider witnessing their love affair and the break-up of The Beatles. I can still see the vivid cast that surrounded them: the stars, charlatans, groupies, politicians, sycophants, lawyers and hippies.

It was a time of absolute freedom, a time when everything changed. The world was turning on, tuning in and dropping out, and all to the beat of rock ’n’ roll....

I had an ongoing problem with heroin, needing it daily, but now I had to find it for John and Yoko too. I took the train into London every day to look for work and buy heroin for myself and for them.

Meanwhile, they were moving into Tittenhurst Park, their new 85-acre estate in Ascot with its mansion framed by lawns, stately trees and great walls of rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas.

By late 1969, John and Yoko spent most of their time in bed. They slept, ate, had sex, worked the phones, read the post, planned their next outing, and whatever else that made up their day. I would drop by to discuss what was going on or whatever needed their attention.

John was invariably sitting cross-legged on the bed strumming his acoustic guitar while Yoko took the lead in discussions. You always felt that Yoko and John had discussed things before you arrived and decided on what Yoko would say, while John appeared to be lost in his guitar...

Syrian Warplanes Pound Aleppo

The Australian reports:

SYRIAN regime warplanes have pounded rebel positions in second city Aleppo ahead of a threatened ground assault by more than 20,000 troops assembled around the commercial capital.

Iran appealed for help from governments with ties to the Syrian opposition in securing the release of 48 of its nationals seized from a bus in Damascus, as an Arabic news channel aired footage it said was of the Iranians in the hands of rebel captors who charged that their hostages were Revolutionary Guards.

A senior security official said Syria's army had completed its deployment of reinforcements to Aleppo, ready for a decisive showdown.

"The war is likely to be long, because there will have to be street battles in order to get rid of the terrorists," the source told AFP, declining to be named.

"All the reinforcements have arrived and they are surrounding the city," he said. "The army is ready to launch its offensive, but is awaiting orders."

Gabby Douglas' Mom Filed for Bankruptcy

Gabby's lucrative endorsements are going to bail her mom out. At the New York Post, "Gabby’s gold in nick of time for her broke mom":

Gabby Douglas’ Olympic medal could be a golden opportunity for her broke mother. The gold-medal gymnast’s doting mom, Natalie Hawkins, has been struggling to make ends meet — and twice filed for bankruptcy — while her phenom daughter chased her Olympic dreams, according to federal court records.

But since Gabby won the Olympics’ coveted individual all-around gymnastics competition, she’s become the darling of the United States and world — and is worth a potential $100 million-plus in endorsement deals.

Hawkins, a single mother with three other children, had been just 24 hours from foreclosure on the family’s Virginia Beach home in January when she sought protection under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, public records show.

She had a measly $500 in the bank and was $80,000 in debt when she filed the papers. The bulk of the debt was from a $150,000 mortgage on the townhouse where Gabby and her three older siblings lived for more than a decade.

Hawkins also owes $20,000 to trainers at Excalibur, a well-regarded Virginia gym whose staff was working with Gabby, according to its owners — although the mom disputes incurring the debt, the Virginia Pilot newspaper said.

But now that her 4-foot-11 golden-girl daughter has become the first African-American to grab the top medal, Hawkins could be on easy street.

Her 16-year-old has already landed on a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes box and will get $100,000 for appearing in the upcoming Kellogg’s Tour of Champs.

And Golden Gabby still has two more shots at medals — on the uneven bars today and the balance beam tomorrow.

Okay, now check ABC News, "Missy Franklin Wants to Swim in College, Put Off Endorsement Fortunes." Franklin even turned down $100 thousand in Olympic prizewinnings to remain eligible for NCAA competition. And she personally dedicated her wins to the families of the Aurora shooting victims.

I'm happy for both Douglas and Franklin. And I hope they continue to have great success.

Andy Murray Wins Men's Tennis Gold at Olympics

It was a rematch of last month's epic match at Wimbledon. Murray came through on top.

See the Wall Street Journal, "Andy Murray's Golden Breakthrough":

WIMBLEDON, England—Andy Murray has finally broken through, and it couldn't be sweeter.

On a weekend in which athletes from Great Britain delivered the most scintillating highlights of these games, the 25-year-old Scot provided yet another home country Olympic thrill, upsetting top seed and world No. 1 Roger Federer in a dominant straight set performance, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to capture a gold medal in men's singles.

The victory is also a personal milestone for Murray, a gifted but often vexing player who has struggled to crack through in a tennis era dominated by greats like Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Though the Olympics occur only once every four years, Murray's win here carries great weight, as it came against his top competition and before a wild home crowd at the sport's most treasured cathedral, Wimbledon.

It was here, one month ago, that Murray had lost an agonizing four-set match to Federer, breaking down in the postgame trophy ceremony and tearfully assuring the crowd he was "getting closer." his time, Murray closed, and the only emotion was rapture. Murray dominated Federer from the start, breaking his serve twice in the first set, and coming close to shutting him out in the second. A capacity crowd at Centre Court applauded wildly at every one of Murray's winners, waving British flags and shouting repeated encouragement. At times the atmosphere resembled a soccer stadium more than a genteel tennis match.

When it was over, Murray looked almost stunned.

Though police have not given any details on the identity or motive of the shooter, or released the identities of the victims, sources have told ABC News the shootings are the work of a "white supremacist" or "skinhead."

No word if that's Brian Ross doing the crack Internet research behind the scenes.

Here's what the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal is reporting, "FBI: Motive in Oak Creek Sikh Temple shooting unclear":

The shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek that left seven people dead, including the shooter, is being looked at as a possible domestic terrorism incident but no motive has been determined, FBI officials said Sunday night.

The agency also confirmed that they are investigating a home in Cudahy - presumably that of the shooter - in relation to the incident.

U.S. Attorney James Santelle, who is personally reviewing the matter, said it is not clear if it was domestic terrorism....

A source familiar with the investigation said the shooter was a white male in his 40s who had been discharged from the Army. The source said one firearm was recovered as well as multiple magazines....

Shortly after 5 p.m., a team of law enforcement officers, including from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, surrounded a duplex in Cudahy.

Authorities cordoned off the 3700 block of E. Holmes Ave., just south of downtown Cudahy, where they have surrounded a duplex. A large contingent of law enforcement and fire department vehicles are in the vicinity. The neighborhood was being evacuated.

Kurt Weins said he rented the upper flat of the duplex authorities were searching to a single man in his 40s about month ago. Weins lives across the street from the duplex.

Weins said he had just been interviewed by law enforcement authorities and said he was uncomfortable providing much detail. However, he said, he was surprised by the attention his tenant has attracted.

"I had him checked out and he definitely checked out," Weins said. "The cops told me they don't want me to say nothing right now."

More details at the article.

And a breaking report from Robert Stacy McCain, "Patch.com Reporter Jessica McBride Gets Scoop on Sikh Temple Shooting Suspect - UPDATE: More Details Emerge." Check Robert's links. That Patch report makes no reference to the suspect being a "white supremacist."

And more at the Los Angeles Times, "Gunman's tattoos lead officials to deem Sikh shooting terrorism."

More details later. We'll see if the "white supremacist" angle plays out. And for ABC's sake, let's hope so. We wouldn't want people jumping to conclusions, or anything, especially after the media's irresponsible reporting out of Aurora a couple of weeks ago.

Updates forthcoming...

More a Milwaukee JS, "Suspect described as Army vet in his 40s":

Authorities would not divulge the identity of the suspect in the Sikh temple shootings, and did not describe his motive other than to label his actions as "domestic terrorism."

A few details did emerge about the man whose Cudahy duplex apartment was searched by police hours after the shooting. He was described as white, single, in his 40s and an Army veteran.

That description came in part from Kurt Weins, who lives in the 3700 block of E. Holmes Ave. in Cudahy. He said he rented the property to a man he believed to be from Chicago with no record of violence in Wisconsin.

Authorities did not tell Weins whether his tenant was the shooting suspect, but the description matches that of the man that sources said was the shooter.

ABC News, citing anonymous sources, said it was told the shootings were the work of a "white supremacist" or "skinhead."

The Journal Sentinel could not confirm that account.
