The Best from Dennis Miller
Dennis Miller is one of the former liberal Hollywood types who saw the truth. He keeps everyone honest by engaging in a humorous and sometimes (okay, usually) sarcastic look at what's wrong with this Country,...that is mostly Democrat politicians, and some Republicans to be fair, lying to the people, looting the treasuary and trampling on the Constitution.
"The White House looked into a plan that would allow illegal immigrants to stay in the United States. The plan called for a million Mexicans to marry a million of our ugliest citizens."
"We should fight to preserve a country where people such as Michael Moore get to miss the point as badly as he misses it. Michael Moore represents everything I detest in a human being."
"I didn't know my Dad - he moved out early. And my mom's politics were kind of hardscrabble. She didn't think about Democrats or Republicans. She thought about who made sense. I've been both in my life."
"Police in Washington D.C. are now using cameras to catch drivers who go through red lights. Many congressmen this week opposed the use of the red light cameras incorrectly assuming they were being used for surveillance at local brothels."

The Syrian Mess
The Syrian Civil War is a giant mess with the Syrian Government of Assad being supported by Russian with new anti-aicraft missiles and Irna providing 4,000 Republican Guard troops as well as Hezbollah provindg increasing support for Surian operations against the insurgents. The Insurgents? Well they are mostly al-Qa'ida groups being supported by Osama Bin Dead Laden's heir apparent and his call for Jihadists to join the fight against the Assad regime.
Now Obama (ass clown #1) wants to arm the insurgents who are the same group killing our soldiers in Afghanistan and John McCain (ass clown #2) wants American air support or support to counter the Syrian air superiority. Now Russia has told Obama not to declare a no-fly zone or conceivably they (the Russians) would forceably violate it.
What a mess! But the U.S. should stay out of this unless the violence spills over to Israel, Jordan or Turkey. Sarah Palin explains it well in the video below:

Obama's Approval Rating Tumble
Lying to the American people and scandal after scandal has taken it's toll,.... President Barack Obama’s job approval rating fell sharply over the past month—from 53 to 45 percent, according to a new CNN poll. Fifty-four percent of Americans disapprove of the job he’s doing, also up from 45 percent, the survey found.
Sixty-one percent disapprove of the way he’s handling government surveillance of Americans in the aftermath of a series of dramatic reports about National Security Agency spying, while 35 percent approve.
Obama's early second term has been buffeted by a series of controversies—not just about the NSA surveillance, but also allegations of misconduct at the IRS and government spying on reporters. The president was expected to address those issues in a new interview with Charlie Rose, which airs Monday night.
What about Edward Snowden, who says he revealed the government’s secret to expose abuses? Forty-four percent approve of what he did, while 52 percent disapprove. Should the U.S. government attempt to bring him back to U.S. soil and prosecute him? Fifty-four percent say yes, 42 percent say no.
Even as the economy picks up steam, the poll found that Obama’s disapproval rating on that issue has ticked up steadily over the first six months of the year, from 51 percent in January, to 54 percent in April, to 57 percent in June.
Is Obama honest and trustworthy? Fifty percent say no, up from 41 percent in mid-May, while 49 percent say yes, down from 58 percent.
Americans are sending mixed messages on the NSA surveillance controversy—43 percent say Obama has gone too far in restricting civil liberties in the name of national security, 38 percent agree with him that he’s found the right balance, and 17 percent say he hasn’t gone far enough.
At the same time, 51 percent say the administration was right to collect the telephone records of Americans. Forty-eight percent say it was wrong.
Approval soars to 66 percent regarding the government’s snooping on personal information over the Internet. Thirty-three percent say it was wrong. (CNN’s question phrasing might have something to do with that. “The government reportedly does not target Internet usage by U.S. citizens and if such data is collected, it is kept under strict controls.”)
Still, it’s not because people don’t think it hasn’t happened to them: 62 percent told CNN they thought the government had collected and stored data about their personal telephone and Internet. Thirty-four percent say they did not think so.
Does the federal government pose an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of American citizens? A whopping 62 percent say it does, up from 56 percent the last time the question was asked, in February 2010.
The survey had an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
What suprises me is that anybody approves of Obama, but then again we are a nation of low information voters. More telling poll numbers would be the 75% of Americans who want Benghazi, the IRS scandal, and the AP phone tapping investigated to determine who is at fault for these crimes.
"Americans who will trade liberty for security will deserve and receive neither. "
