VIDEO: HARRY SMITH SUCKS UP TO ALLEGORY

Am I the only one tiring of Allegory reading his "poem" even though he claims not to be a poet? It seems like every time he reads it, he's emboldened with even more hubris. This time, Harry Smith actually ends up far more embarrassing if you can believe it. As the conference in Copenhagen devolves into three ring circus status, Harry Smith not only asks Allegory to read aloud his poem but carries the air of a child listening to a bedtime story.

Listen all the way to the end as Harry is not only infatuated with the poem itself but gives Chris Matthews a run for the most shameless moment award by fawning over the fact that he got to hear Allegory's voice enunciate it.

This is over-the-top shameless.

VIDEO: TEA PARTY MOVEMENT GAINING

Polls are showing that the American people more closely identify with the tea party movement than with either the Republican or Democrat parties. This video montage of a tea party in Los Angeles underscores that point. It would appear that the biggest tent might just be one that doesn't have an "R" or "D" on the front door.

I'm not advocating a third party but I am saying that Republican elites like David Frum need to finally lose in the arena of ideas.

VIDEO: BLAGO ATTORNEY ON DEPOSING OBAMA

This one could get very interesting. In light of the fact that Americans have seen the Chicago way in action for a year now from the Obama administration, the latest instance involving claims that Ben Nelson was threatened with the closure of the Strategic Command military base in Nebraska, Blago's claims may have an unexpected boost of credibility, whatever they may be.

Barack Obama getting deposed would be fun to watch.

VIDEO: HOWARD DEAN SOURING ON OBAMA?

Howard Dean is the masthead for the far left kooks and if his support of Obama begins to sour, he could take those kooks with him and if there's a group of people Obama doesn't want pitted against him, it's that group.

Nonetheless, two parts of this exchange between Dean and Joe Scarborough worth noting.

1.) Dean says he will vote for Obama in 2012 but "not vigorously".
2.) Scarborough laughing at that comment coupled with Dean's serious demeanor about it.

VIDEO: MORE EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR BREWING

When you see Keith Olbermann appear demoralized, it's gotta be good news, right? Although he rightfully condemns the notion of the individual mandate, I wonder if he would be as adamant if that mandate was applied to a single payer government option as opposed to private insurers.

Worth watching for many reasons.

VIDEO: REP FROM TX SAYS PARTY CRASHERS UNDOCUMENTED

This one is just dripping with salient sarcasm. Texas Representative Ted Poe (R) has an interesting way of tackling the immigration issue on the House floor. In one minute, he beautifully demonstrates why the immigration issue by highlighting the White House's stance on the two "party crashers".

HOWARD DEAN'S COLUMN ON HEALTH CARE

Howard Dean appears to be digging in his heels over the senate version of the health care bill being watered down. If I follow Dean's logic, he's got a problem with mandating coverage when it comes to premiums going to insurance companies but likely views things quite differently if the individual mandate involved premimus going toward a public option.

Improvements can still be made in the Senate, and I hope that Senate Democrats will work on this bill as it moves to conference. If lawmakers are interested in ensuring that government affordability credits are spent on health-care benefits rather than insurers' salaries, they need to require state-based exchanges, which act as prudent purchasers and select only the most efficient insurers. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) offered this amendment during the Finance Committee markup, and Democrats should include it in the final legislation. A stripped-down version of the current bill that included these provisions would be worth passing.

Next, I realize what I'm about to do risks taking Dean's words out of context but there's something inherently funny about a far left whack job like Dean using the following statement to make an argument.

Yet Washington has decided, once again, that the American people cannot be trusted to choose for themselves. Your money goes to insurers, whether or not you want it to.

Wow.

Read Dean's COLUMN.... if you dare.

SECOND GRADERS IN INDIANA ASKED TO SING TO ALLAH

Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio is reporting that second graders in an elementary school in Fishers, IN were scheduled to sing songs in praise to Allah until a conservative group raised enough of a ruckus.

Once again, it appears double standards and hypocrisy were all set to win the day as demonstrated by the comments of the school's principal as REPORTED BY STARNES:

The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show.

Inclusion by exclusion? Is that like addition by subtraction?

Check out the lyrics that were scheduled to be sung...

“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”

Juxtaposed with that is apparently what the school's principal views as an equivalent Christian song..

“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.

Not only did the former name, "Allah" while the second one did not but the second one seems to focus on doubt in a matter of faith.

Despicable.
