CNN states the obvious: Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA); 'Dead Democrat Walking.'

By Rob Janicki

In what has been known now for months and which was confirmed on November 4th,  Louisiana career politician Mary Landrieu's political ship is dead in the water, taking on water faster than she can bale and is about to capsize and sink on December 6th.  

Louisiana has an open general election.  If a candidate garners more than 50% in that general election, they are declared the winner.  

If no candidate receives 50% in the general election, the top two vote getters face off in a subsequent election.  And that's where Mary Landrieu and Republican Congressman, Dr. Bill Cassidy find themselves.

Landrieu actually received about 43% of the November 4th vote count with Cassidy right behind her with 42%.  The kicker in this situation is that the Tea Party candidate received 16%.  The Tea Party candidate has now thrown his support to Dr. Cassidy, which essentially accounts for the polling showing Dr. Cassidy ahead of Ms. Landrieu by 16 points.  

With Dr. Cassidy's victory, the Republican senatorial count will rise to a majority of 54.  Current Republican Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has already been elected by the Senate Republican caucus to be the next Senate Majority leader for the new congress, which will be sworn in on January 3, 2015.

CNN Questions calling ISIS "Evil"? WHAT World do They Live in?

By Elizabeth Nelson

Wow, I know this really shouldn't surprise me, coming from a liberal rag that is known for keeping the minds of obamazombies numb, but CNN ran an editorial yesterday morning from James Dawes, the director in Human Rights at some Minnesota college, who really questioned whether "evil" should be used to describe ISIS.

In what liberal world are we actually debating this?  His point: "Evil" is the strongest word we can find to use that motivates ourselves to kill others and it also stops us from thinking. 

Dawes' inspirational though came from two sources:  an editorial from the Wall Street Journal, which asserted the, "Like every evil in human history, ISIS will stop only when it is forced to stop. This means only when enough of its fanatics have been killed", and a tweet from National Review Online's Jonah Goldberg: 

People looking to put ISIS in "context" desperately avoid most obvious context. They're evil. They do obviously evil things for evil ends.

His point:

“But if we’ve learned anything as a nation since our “shock and awe” campaign in Iraq, it is this: While invasions and bombing can be effective in the short term, they are not durable solutions to terror-based violence.”

“The fact is, there are few things more dangerous now than allowing ourselves to think this way.”

“To resist ISIS and, perhaps more importantly, the larger social forces it represents, the U.S. will need more than a collective psychological readiness to injure, and more than bombs.”

“Nonetheless, trying to understand evil is an offense. It is an offense to everything we hold dear, because understanding — that is, true and effective understanding — must bring us close to the other, must help us see the world through their eyes.”

My Point:

IF we learn anything, as a nation, to go back to pre-9/11 mentality and thinking of every terrorists group and terror attack as a "criminal act" instead of a "terrorist attack" puts our Country in a horrifically vulnerable state, and ISIS could give a crap if we label their soulless, celebratory beheading of men, women, and children "Evil" "criminal" or "Jayvee" as long as we continue to underestimate them and allow Obama to hit the golf course and do nothing.

The fact that this libtard thinks we need to "resist ISIS" rather than annihilating ISIS and obliterating them from the face of this planet is more dangerous than considering then "evil."  

I'm sure no one else has missed the small fact that they've gone from a "terrorist group" to a "terrorist army" in excess of 17,000 and has captured 28 tanks, and has downed 3 helicopters - but "al Qaeda is decimated and Bin Laden is dead," and Obama is being prepped for going back to "war."  But wait, we're hearing this from everyone BUT Obama.

The fact that we've learned nothing from the "evil," horrific events of our past, only means we're doomed to repeat them. It's not that we don't know evil when we see it, because if we look, we know it's there, like a fart in church. "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?" (M T 7:16)  We just need the courage to go against the collective hive and name it when we see it is.
