Yeah, when you keep trying to fit a square socialist peg of job fabrication into a round free market American hole of job creation, you’re bound to get exhausted before long.

American missionaries gunned down for ‘preaching Christianity’ (OneNewsNow.com)
This cowardly “religion” always seems to get defense from the Progressive/Liberal/Democrats, and yet if it was Christians gunning down Muslims for preaching Islam there would be outrage. Total cowardice on the part of Muslims and the Liberal American Media.
Taliban terrorists have declared they shot and killed a team of missionaries, including six Americans, because they were ‘preaching Christianity.’
Ten members of medical team, including six Americans, were shot and killed by the Islamic terrorists as they were returning from providing eye treatment and other health care in remote villages of northern Afghanistan, a spokesman for the team said Saturday.

Peggy Noonan: America Is at Risk of Boiling Over – WSJ.com
But do our political leaders have any sense of what people are feeling deep down? They don’t act as if they do. I think their detachment from how normal people think is more dangerous and disturbing than it has been in the past. I started noticing in the 1980s, the growing gulf between the country’s thought leaders, as they’re called—the political and media class, the universities—and those living what for lack of a better word we’ll call normal lives on the ground in America. The two groups were agitated by different things, concerned about different things, had different focuses, different world views.
But I’ve never seen the gap wider than it is now. I think it is a chasm. In Washington they don’t seem to be looking around and thinking, Hmmm, this nation is in trouble, it needs help. They’re thinking something else. I’m not sure they understand the American Dream itself needs a boost, needs encouragement and protection. They don’t seem to know or have a sense of the mood of the country.

Intersesting
Among the selection of voters who said they voted for Obama but do not now approve of his performance as president, Romney is viewed the most favorably of any of the other potential Republican challengers to Obama in 2012.
Thirty-two percent of the disaffected Obama voters have a favorable view of Romney, while 31 percent view him unfavorably, making the former governor the only Republican with a net positive rating among the group.

GM donates $41,000 to lawmakers’ pet projects
Hmmm…
When General Motors went through bankruptcy last year, it suspended its political donations. Now that it’s owned by the U.S. government, it’s donating to lawmakers’ pet projects again.
The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it — $36,000 — to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the company reported on a disclosure form last week. The CBC Foundation is a charity with 11 members of the Congressional Black Caucus on its board.
Judge’s ‘sexual proclivity’ compromised ruling (OneNewsNow.com)
There’s no question that this judge was definitely not the one to try this case. Prop 8 defenders trusted that he could put aside his lifestyle choice and rule fairly, but this clearly wasn’t the case from the tone and much-protesting of his novel ruling.
In a press release yesterday, AFA identifies Walker as a “practicing homosexual” who, for that reason, should have recused himself from this case “because his judgment is clearly compromised by his own sexual proclivity.” Fischer concurs.
“It’s really no different in our judgment than having a judge who owns a porn studio being asked to issue a ruling on an anti-pornography statute,” says the AFA spokesman. “There’s a conflict of interest there.”
