FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

Neal's Nuze provides great information every day, and it's one of my favorite news sources. But every now and then Boortz makes it even better by blasting some idiot who sorely deserves it. This is one of those times. Some aristocrat wants to license news reporters, saying:

"Legitimate media sources are critically important to our government."

Boortz responds:

"The media isn't supposed to be important to the government, you ignoranus Democrat; it's supposed to be important to THE PEOPLE."

'Nuff said.

Obama's FTC is seizing control over the press.

RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS

A treaty is lower law than the Constitution and cannot legally be used to enact gun control in the US.

TAX AND SPEND:

How the fantasy that we were rich enough to be stupid backfired on us.

REGULATION:

Florida Democrat Congressman Greyson wants to the federal government to mandate employers give employees a paid week of vacation. Stay the hell out of our economy.

EDUCATION:

Kindergartner suspended for thinking about bringing knife to school. This is literally a thought crime.

HEALTH CARE:

Obama nominates socialized medicine advocate to head the $800 billion federal health care bureaucracy.

"President Obama's nomination of Donald Berwick M.D. to head HHS's Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) eliminates any lingering doubt he seeks to impose state-run medicine and a European style health care system on America. But before Dr Berwick gets an official nod of approval for the federal government's most important health care appointment -- the CMS covers over 100 million Americans, has an annual $800 billion budget that is larger than the defense department's and is the 2nd largest insurance company in the world, the US Senate may want to consider the nominee's remarkable and quite literal attachment to the socialist health-care model.

"I am romantic about the NHS. I love it." Dr Berwick says about probably the best-known case of socialized medicine -- Britain's National Health Service (NHS). "All I need to do to rediscover the romance is to look at healthcare in my own country," he says about a US health care system that is "bloated," runs in "the darkness of private enterprise," and has "tremendous excess capacity.""

Only government would employ somebody this stupid. Or is it evil? You know this guy knows how bad the NHS is.

GLOBAL WARMING:

The difference between an environmentalist and a conservationist.

Federal court dismisses lawsuit alleging company polluted by producing CO2.

WAR ON DRUGS:

Oakland, Ca. is considering legalizing and taxing marijuana. We keep hearing that people are thinking about it. Crap or get off the pot.

POLICE STATE:

A person should be able to invoke his right to remain silent by remaining silent. The onus should not be on the person being interrogated to claim the right, it should be on the government to recognize it.

WAR:

US drone attacks kills al Qaeda's number three leader in wilds of Pakistan.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:

College in California offers scholarship for illegal aliens. They should be busted the same as an employer who hires illegal aliens.

POLITICS:

Apparently the Czechs have been reading my blog.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Like I keep saying, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. The politicians are the symptom. We're the problem. We asked for this. We're reaping what we sowed over generations.

I agree with this:

"The Obama administration and its congressional collaborators almost resemble a foreign occupying force, a coterie of politically and culturally non-indigenous leaders whose rule contravenes local values rooted in our national tradition."

That's because Obama works for Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, ACORN and not America at large, but Republicans didn't govern in the interests of Americans at large either. We can't forget that Republicans governed almost as badly as Democrats when they were in power. Government is the problem, not just Democrats. There's no such thing as good government.

Liberal think tank advocates forcing people to vote. These people never get enough violence.

MEDIA:

Boortz wonders where the phony outrage is over the swastikas and KKK signs at the pro-illegal immigration rally in Arizona.

MISC:

This is a good reminder from Boortz: why did the Deepwater Horizon have to be drilling in deep water? Because the environmental movement managed to get government to ban any more drilling in shallow water.

Every time Obama speaks about the oil spill it just reinforces how useless the federal government is. But naturally Republicans are calling for more government to solve this problem. No. In a free society, BP would have empaneled a brainstorming session of experts, paid them to attend, and got this problem solved. But the government's boot on BP's neck and Obama threatening criminal prosecution, the priorities are all screwed up.

This might be the most damning piece of info we've heard about Kagan so far.

"Elena Kagan, President Barack Obama’s choice to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court, is best known for moving Harvard Law School away from the 100-year old “case-law method” of legal study.

 But in the process, critics say, she moved the nation’s premier law school away from requiring the study of U.S. constitutional law towards the study of the laws of foreign nations and international law. 

 As dean, Kagan won approval from the faculty in 2006 to make major changes to the Harvard Law's curriculum.

“My understanding is that she instituted three new courses to the required curriculum and, in so doing, got rid of a requirement to take constitutional law,” Robert Alt, senior legal fellow and deputy director of the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation, told CNSNews.com.

“Currently, at Harvard, constitutional law is not required for first-year law students, or even for graduation,” Alt added."

Yikes. Any person to whom the Constitution means this little should be disqualified from government entirely, let alone the Supreme Court.

Study showing that in general, as children grow up, they believe more and more that people should be rewarded based on their achievements, not some weird vision of equality suggests that liberals may suffer from arrested moral development. I've always said that the desire to take property from others by force and give it to those who did not earn it is a mental problem. Only a mentally defective person could rationalize that robbery is moral.
