The left's war against Glenn Beck continues

The left's war against Glenn Beck continues, with Mercedes-Benz, Capital One, HSBC, Discover and seven other big firms yanking their ads from Beck's show. This, despite soaring ratings. The real story is: Why is Glenn Beck the only one in the media sounding the alarm about the communist backgrounds of Obama's top advisors?

Score another one for Glenn Beck, as Green Jobs Czar and self-proclaimed communist Van Jones was forced to resign, citing a right-wing 'smear campaign.' Apparently Van Jones was the victim of his own words and resume. Both of which portray a radical, anti-American mind set.

As usual, this news was released at midnight on Friday. That's now the best time to check for the news Obama and friends don't want you to see.

Meanwhile, Obama continues to work tirelessly on our behalf, swamping the airwaves with a message to the American people on the correct etiquette when sneezing. "Wash your hands frequently, and cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands." the president gravely intones. Thank-you, Daddy.

Obama now plans to take his message to the nation's schoolchildren. The Dept of Education has issued a lesson plan for Obama's planned speech to all government school kids on September 8. Fealty to Obama is the message and parents aren't allowed. Just check out this video of kids pledging allegiance, not to America, but to Obama. Scary stuff. Despite this, there remains some:

GOOD NEWS:

Americans don't seem to like the direction Congress is taking us, with Pew Research reporting that only about one-third of voters have a positive opinion of Congress -- a 13 percent decline in favorability since April. That's a 24-year low. And fewer than half of Americans, (48%, an all-time low) approve of labor unions, down from 59% a year ago. I'm smiling.

There is a sliver lining to the economic chaos Obama and friends have created. Its called 'productivity.' The Labor Department said Wednesday that productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, rose at an annual rate of 6.6% in the April-June quarter, the largest advance since the summer of 2003.

Another silver lining: August marked the third straight month that state and local governments shed jobs, reflecting cutbacks prompted by declining income and property taxes. Less government, fewer bureaucrats. Cool jeans.

GOVERNMENT AT WORK:

Right on cue, the government released a report Thursday citing the need to hire 270,000 more federal employees for 'mission critical' jobs. Yawn.

Under the radar, a deal is moving forward to direct billions in U.S. tax dollars to an unlikely beneficiary -- the giant British liquor producer that makes Captain Morgan rum. Our elected officials have chosen to ignore this Debt Clock - a real time clock showing the amount of (unsustainable) debt being piled up. Hey, what's a few trillion?

As Obama took to the airwaves (again) to praise Islam as 'a great religion', his administration formally cut off millions of dollars in assistance to Honduras because of the coup that occurred two months ago. A coup that was sanctioned by their Supreme Court and succeeded in overthrowing a thug dictator. Obama has sided with the ousted dictator.

Speaking of dictators: Despite Obama's repeated overtures, Iran and Venezuela announced they have joined forces in order to stand against the U.S. So much for diplomacy.

The race war continues. Under Attorney General Eric Holder, the DOJ is planning to bring more disparate-impact cases based on statistical evidence that minorities are treated less favorably. Aargh...

CULTURE:

A lawsuit in California that was filed last month by angry parents who object to a gay-friendly curriculum they say is being foisted on kindergartners could well become a test case for schools around the country. Speaking of standing up...
