GEE; Who could've seen this coming
More Colorado drivers in fatal
crashes positive for pot
One study shows
more drivers involved in fatal car accidents in Colorado are testing positive
for marijuana — and that Colorado has a higher percentage of such drivers
testing positive for pot than other states even when controlled for several
variables. The other study shows that perceptions of marijuana's risk have decreased across all age groups with the boom in marijuana businesses in the state. The study also finds that near-daily marijuana use among adults increased significantly starting in 2009, relative to states without medical marijuana laws.
Quantifying problems with stoned driving has particularly stumped Colorado authorities, making the new study on fatal crashes — led by CU School of Medicine researcher Stacy Salomonsen-Sautel — especially notable.
The study found that, in 2011, the proportion of drivers in fatal crashes in Colorado testing positive for marijuana had risen to 10 percent — up from 5.9 percent in early 2009. In states without medical marijuana laws, 4.1 percent of fatal-crash drivers tested positive in 2011 — almost identical to the numbers from early 2009.

Obama approval high with Muslims
Obama approval is 72% Among Muslims
President Barack Obama’s approval rating is
higher among Muslims than any other religious group, a new poll says.According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.

Do you suppose that this
following Obama quote could have anything to do with why he is so well liked by
Muslims?
"I consider it part of my responsibility as
President of the United States to fight
against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." Barack Hussein
Obama
I cannot understand why so
many black Americans support Muslims and in many cases actually convert to
Islam. I wonder if they realize that it
was Muslims, for the most part, that captured and sold Africans into slavery, and
are STILL doing it today.
Perhaps Liberals in this country
have done such a good job of re-writing history that they simply don’t know the
truth. Most black people who voted for
Obama probably did so because they THINK he is a black American, when the truth
is; he is a black African Muslim with a fake, forged birth certificate.

Liberals can't handle the truth
The next time
some misinformed Liberal starts ranting about how Bush started the Iraq war, have him watch these videos.
DEMOCRATS
BEFORE THE IRAQ
WAR
To Impeach or not to Impeach, that is the question.
Perhaps the Impeachment of Obama is a Bad
Idea
Impeachment proceedings would
take a long time, energize the Democrat base, and draw attention away from the
border disaster, the IRS scandal, and Obama’s overall incompetence.
Here is what Pat Buchanan has
to say on impeachment: http://www.creators.com/conservative/pat-buchanan.html
The Practice of Labeling all Criticism of Obama as Racism
I was opposed to President
Obama's economic policies and political ideology even before he became
President. This is the reason I did not
vote for him. It had nothing to do with
race.
However,
when he was elected, like a lot of other conservatives, I thought he might at
least have a more positive impact on racial discord in this country. We could not have been more wrong.
Obama has
not only chosen to weigh in on some local incidents which presidents usually
don't involve themselves with (From Professor Gates to George Zimmerman), but
did so in a way that, in my opinion, created more dissension and unrest. Honestly, I have come to believe that was
actually his objective.
Obama has the undivided attention of most of the African-American community. Rather than urging calm and using soothing language, Obama seems to always choose remarks that will obviously fan the flames. Similar to Al Sharpton only toned down somewhat, instead of Abraham Lincoln's tone "With malice toward none with charity toward all," to quell retributive tensions following the Civil War, Obama attempts no similar message of healing to diffuse the racial innuendos. That tendency is disturbing.
The practice of labeling all criticism of Obama as racism has become standard operating procedure for most of his supporters. They do so because it has been effective. To those who habitually exercise this ploy, I would like to ask, if it were Alan Keyes or Dr. Ben Carson or Herman Cain who was president, rather than Barack Obama; would their own opposition to the President’s policies be racism?
We all recognize that racism is a serious offense, but few recognize the fact that false accusations of such a vice are equally egregious. One must then ask about the general motives behind such assertions. I think the answer becomes obvious: nobody likes to be accused of bigotry in any form, and claims of such motives or illicit conduct cause many people to abandon their arguments or agenda and focus on defending themselves from the allegations.
Aside from being disingenuous, there is a real problem with the presumption of institutional or latent individual racism at the heart of all criticism. It makes minority candidates functionally immune to all critique (since all criticism is really just cloaked racism), which is bad for the political process.

I know that you know that Barack
Obama claimed that his would be the “most transparent” Administration in all of
history. Now with broken hard drives,
official gag orders, targeted assassinations of the innocent, and countless
documented lies later, I know that you know he is a liar.
But, you’re probably reluctant
to mention it for fear of being labeled a racist.
