Obama is adding another czar, a border czar, to his administration. Obama's got more czar's than Russia. That's because he's more authoritarian than Russia.
Obama administration blocked Navy from using their most powerful and precise radar to track the Korean missile launch. That's nuts.
Jonah Goldberg wonders how we've backslid so far that piracy is now a problem. He says lawyers, and that's partially true. I say liberals. If it wasn't for liberals, the US and other nations would have bombed the Somali pirate havens long ago, sunk all their ships and no lawyers would ever have had a say. The solution to piracy is hasn't changed in thousands of years - kill them.
French President Sarkozy calls bull**** on Obama. It's about time somebody besides the majority of Americans pointed out our emperor has no clothes.
Iran complains to UN Security Council about Israeli threats to bomb its nuclear program. That makes sense. The UN provides cover for insane dictators, and I'm sure it will do the same in this case.
Liberals score another victory against free speech, this time shouting down a speech by Tom Tancredo. This is disgusting.
I've been advocating airlines, sporting and entertainment venues and any other business that has limited seating charge fat people for 2 tickets for a long time. United Airlines finally took my advice. I'm sure this will get tied up in the courts, but I hope the airline fights and wins this battle.
You know central planning is running amok when Florida announces plans to build a solar city. Expect to see an abandoned, wasted blight on Florida in the not-so-near future.
In Obama's never ending attempt to harm America by remaking it in his image instead of allowing the people to build the country the way they want, Obama pushes high speed rail plan.
Reason makes an argument for allowing jurors to ask questions.
The Justice Department reports that the NSA improperly eavesdropped on communications of Americans. Then there should be prosecutions.
Republicans hope to build from tea parties. If that happens, they will have been a waste of time. The only way these tea parties will be effective is if conservatives vote out their Republican incumbents who governed like Democrats for 8 years, but I don't see that happening.
Spain's Attorney General intelligently decided not to investigate Bush and Co. for torture charges.
Obama administration makes the only reasonable decision it could, saying it won't prosecute CIA agents for waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques. I doubt liberals will stop their slander of Bush because of this though.Unfortunately, releasing the CIA memos gives the terrorists information on our interrogation techniques and will probably fuel more liberal irresponsibility. Since Obama no longer uses those techniques, he didn't seem to mind. Besides, I doubt there's anything we didn't already know about the techniques. But if we get attacked and that attack could have been prevented by waterboarding somebody, I hope we prosecute Obama and Holder for dereliction of duty.
Even the liberal Politico recognizes it's all Obama, all the time. Anybody who won't acknowledge Obama's phenomenal narcissism is willingly blind.
Why do we care if Pakistan's military takes over? The Pakistan military is the most stable, pro-American and anti-terrorist institution in Pakistan. We were fools for undermining Musharraf. Once again we're interfering Pakistan's internal affairs, and once again it will backfire on us. Pakistan does not have the democrat institutions in place to be a free country. Our focus should be on helping Pakistan build those institutions - security, an educated populace, rule of law, and economic freedom - instead of propping up a dangerous elected government. We must stop mistaking an election for freedom.
Excellent essay points out that Americans are sheep who think 20 to 45 percent tax confiscation rates are fair. That's nuts. The Founding Father revolted over single digit tax rates and the breakdown of the rule of law that's ubiquitous today.
The greatest tax outrage in American history is Washington's gradual convincing of the American people that giving so much of their income to the government is just and fair.I resoundingly agree.
...
Americans today are taxed at levels most of our forebears would have considered unthinkable. By our own nation's historical standards, we are outrageously, insanely overtaxed. And yet we shrug our shoulders and say, well, at least we're not France.
By the way, France's top marginal tax rate is 40 percent. President Obama plans to raise our top marginal rate to 39 percent.
Judge Andrew Napolitano summarizes the terrifying DHS document labeling anybody who supports limited government as a right-wing extremist:
My guess is that the sentiments revealed in the report I read are the tip of an iceberg that the DHS would prefer to keep submerged until it needs to reveal it. This iceberg is the heavy-hand of government; a government with large and awful eyes, in whose heart there is no love for freedom, and on whose face there is no smile.Control of DHS by Obama and his radical Chicago thug partners is phenomenally scary. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano defends the report which identifies anybody critical of Obama and big government as a security threat. This is the next step in the evolution on our Road to Serfdom. The government decides that the people who disagree with government are the enemy. It's inevitable. Hayek warned us about it. But we walked down the path anyway, and here we are. Despite the anger and rhetoric on display at these tea parties, we don't show any substantive signs of changing direction.
Now Democrats are trying to destroy beer with taxes. It never ends. Good-bye Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Rich Lowry thinks the US needs a Goliath military. Baloney. The rest of the world can take care of itself or not as it sees fit. Europe can defend Europe. South Korea can defend South Korea. Japan can defend Japan. We shouldn't be nation-building in Afghanistan. We should just leave a small force to take out al Qaeda wherever it springs up. We don't need a Goliath military to take out pirate bases. If we have to go do it again 10 years later, so be it. We should freeze military spending while we end our military welfare to the rest of the world, let those countries fill the power void we leave behind, making the world a safer place. Then we can reduce our own military.
Once again Bernanke tries to blame savings in China for our financial problems instead of his and Greenspan's policy of easy money to fight a much needed contraction. It's so interesting to read what the central planners write because it never enters their mind that they might be part of the problem. It's taken for granted that their central planning, even when it doesn't work as planned, is the only way to do things.
Maybe America should sell Florida to pay off our debts.
