2016 Obama’s America

“Love him or hate him, you don’t know him.” That’s the tagline of an explosive new Obama documentary put together by Dinesh D’Souza, New York Times best-selling author, and produced by Gerald R. Molen, whose credits include Schindler’s List and Rain Man. The film postulates what America will be like in 2016 if Barack Obama is re-elected to a second term. In a rare achievement for a documentary, the film earned $31,610 this past weekend playing at only one theater in Houston, Texas. It will roll out nationally over the next few months.

Division=Ratings

Alfonzo Rachel isn’t surprised that Mitt Romney got booed when he spoke to the NAACP in Houston, but what bugs Zo is how the mainstream media sensationalized the speech to foster racial division and to promote a liberal, big-government agenda. H/T PJTV’s ZoNation

Romney Means Business

In a speech today at Irwin, Pennsylvania, Mitt Romney delivered a stinging rebuff to President Obama’s talk in Roanoke, Virginia, casting entrepreneurs in an unflattering light.  “President Obama attacks success and therefore under Obama we have less success, and I will change that,” Romney promised.

Obama’s Waterloo

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” So said President Obama July 13 in a speech at Roanoke, Virginia. And with those words, he cast aspersions on all of America’s business owners, denigrating their hard work, intelligence, leadership and vision, implying whatever they accomplished, got served to them on a silver spoon. Obama’s administration has been openly hostile to businesses from the get-go, imposing vast reams of regulations that have contributed to the country’s economic malaise and abysmal job-creation record. But by so nakedly expressing the anti-capitalist ideology behind his policies, Obama has met his Waterloo.

Intergalactic Feud

The Carrie Fisher-William Shatner feud reignited over the weekend when the two stars both appeared at Comic-Con in San Diego. They didn’t bump up against each other in the flesh, but Fisher told the world via Twitter, “I’m horrified to hear that intergalactic fraud Bill Shatner will also be at Comic Con,” while Shatner tweeted an unflattering photo of a “Fisher sighting” at Comic-Con, purporting to show a more rotund Fisher in her original Princess Leia bikini. Shatner touched off the rift last September when he dismissed Star Wars as being a Star Trek clone. The comment prompted dueling YouTube videos by Fisher and Shatner, presented here to bring you up to speed on the contretemps.

Union Ruse Exposed

When Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty barnstormed Ohio in support of Mitt Romney, a fight broke out at their July 5 rally in Parma. Turns out the confrontation was entirely staged, lifting a page right out of the Nazi playbook. Heckler Al Neal, who claimed to be from Canton, Ohio, and working with a group called Fight for Fair Economy Ohio, actually was a union organizer from Arizona. Adding to the subterfuge, the irritated “Romney backer” who tried to shut up Neal was 77-year-old Richard Brysacz, a registered Democrat from Parma. Look for the Democrats to ramp up their dirty tricks this election. They’re desperate, and they’ve got a far-left agitator occupying the White House, so it’s hardly surprising that they have summoned the Goon Squad. H/T Breitbart

Locavores or Locos

A “locavore” is a fancy word for describing someone only interested in eating locally produced food. Many proponents of farmers’ markets are locavores, but the movement also has spawned some radical adherents, a ripe topic for satire in the Dec. 31, 2011 Bizarro comic strip featuring a man about to eat a hand sandwich. “If you take the local food movement to its logical extreme…people who live beyond their local food chain are essentially parasites,” says Pierre Desrochers, co-author of The Locavore’s Dilemma: In Praise of the 10,000-Mile Diet. Here, Desrochers shares his observations on the movement with Reason.TV’s Nick Gillespie.
