It’s no secret that in their heart of hearts the Republican Establishment would love for Jeb Bush to be the 2016 nominee. They cronies of the family that shall not be named control the Republican establishment and should Jeb “Porky Pig” Bush want it, the nomination is his or their backup Chris Christie. Like his father and brother, Jeb wants the Left to love him because he is a Leftist at heart. In an attempt to win Progressive love Porky Pig gives Leftist icon; the Great Mother an Ideals of Freedom Award.

(CNSNews.com) – Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will present the National Constitution Center’s (NCC) 2013 Liberty Medal to Hillary Clinton during a Sept. 10 ceremony in Philadelphia, one day before the first-year anniversary of the terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya while Clinton was secretary of state.“The Liberty Medal recognizes individuals who have furthered the ideals of freedom, democracy, and equality, often against great odds,” NCC President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen said. “Hillary Clinton has devoted her life to expanding opportunities for ‘We the People’ not just in this country but around the globe.”

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” Bush, the NCC’s chairman, said in a statement announcing the award. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Liberty Medal.”

lf 2016 is Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush, you best bet Porky Pig will roll over for the Great Mother.

Jeb “Porky” Bush blasts Matt Damon as hypocrite on public education

A Hollywood liberal turns out to be a hypocrite? I am shocked! Shocked!!

Watch this video on YouTube.

Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, on Tuesday sent a blistering critique of Hollywood actor Matt Damon’s decision to school his three children at a private facility, not public: You’re such a hypocrite.

Mr. Damon did, after all, campaign very publicly about the importance of public education, Mr. Bush pointed out, Newsmax reported.

On Monday, Mr. Bush tweeted: “Matt Damon refuses to enroll kids in Los Angeles public schools. Choice ok for Damon, why not everyone else?”

The Twitter query came just a few days after the Hollywood actor, during an interview with a reporter from The Guardian, said his three children would be heading off to a private school in the L.A. area — not public.

“Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big, big deal,” he said, Newsmax reported. “And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don’t have a choice. I mean, I pay for a private education, and I’m trying to get the one that most matches the public education that I had, but that kind of progressive education no longer exists in the public system. It’s unfair.”

That’s quite a morphing from 2011 when Mr. Damon — the son of a teacher — spoke at a Save Our Schools rally.

YouTube recorded him saying then: “From the time I was in kindergarten … all the way through my high school graduation, I attended public schools. And I would not trade that education, that experience, for anything. I had incredible teachers.”

Mr. Damon was just in the news for comments he made during this same interview with the British newspaper in which he suggested that President Obama was being bullied by political opponents into making policy decisions he doesn’t really want — and that he should be granted some leeway on the public relations front.

Jeb “Porky” Bush to give award to Hillary Clinton

God I hate that family in Texas which cannot be named.

Jeb Bush will present Hillary Clinton with the 2013 Liberty Medal this fall in Philadelphia.

It could be an awkward encounter for the two, both of whom are mentioned as 2016 presidential nominees for their respective parties.

Bush, the former Republican governor of Florida, is chairman of the National Constitution Center, which is giving Clinton the award in honor of her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women.

The former secretary of State is considered the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in the next presidential election, but has made no political moves since leaving the Obama administration. Instead, she has focused on charity work through The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Clinton would beat Bush by 7 points, 50 percent to 43, in Bush’s home state of Florida, according a Quinnipiac poll released earlier this month.

Bush has not ruled out a presidential bid and would be seen as a top-tier candidate if he runs.

He praised Clinton on Thursday for her service.

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” Bush said in a statement announcing the award. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Liberty Medal.”

The ceremony takes place Sept. 10 in Philadelphia. It will be the first of two honors for Clinton this fall.

On Sept. 30, the Children’s Defense Fund will honor the former senator and former first lady for her children’s advocacy work. The ceremony will take place at the Kennedy Center.

Clinton is an alumni of the group.

“We are pleased to recognize Hillary Rodham Clinton who has been a tireless voice for children and was with the Children’s Defense Fund at the beginning as a young staff attorney, then board member and board chair,” said President Marian Wright Edelman in a statement.

Hillary Clinton leads Rubio and Jeb Bush in Florida for 2016

If Hillary Clinton decides to run for President, the 2016 election will be over the minute she declares. With OFA backing her plus Bill Clinton and Obama stumping for her, there’s no way any Republican can win in 2016. A new poll shows her leading either Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush in the state of Florida.

Hillary Clinton has double-digit leads over two favorite sons of Florida in the 2016 presidential race, according to a Quinnipiac University poll on Thursday.

Clinton leads former Gov. Jeb Bush, 51 percent to 40 percent, and tops Sen. Marco Rubio, 52 percent to 41 percent, in the survey of Florida voters.

If Hillary declares, do not be shocked if many prominent Republicans sit it out. She’s practicable invincible and the best bet is to wait until 2020 when an economic crisis and 12 years of Progressive rule will make Americans ready to throw out the Democrats.
