Where Is The Outrage Now?

Khaled Abu Toameh  of the Jerusalem Post   "It took President Barack Obama nine days to condemn Col. Muammar Gaddafi's massacres in Libya as "outrageous" and "unacceptable."
"It took the UN Security Council more than a week to hold a closed-door meeting and issue a tempered statement condemning the violence in Libya and calling for its immediate end and for those responsible to be held accountable.
"This is the same Security Council that one week earlier held a special and open session to condemn construction in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.'

Hat tip to Big Peace : "According to Abu Toameh, there’s another double standard at work: the relatively deferential approach that Washington has taken toward Gaddafi when compared to its handling of the uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak."

"He says that the tribal dynamics that Qaddafi long suppressed through modernization, nationalism, and the development of patron-client relations with tribal heads appear to be turning against him."

The Real Political Math In Wisconsin

HuffPost  "For all of the valid concern about reining in state spending -- a concern shared by politicians and voters of all labels -- the underlying strategic Wisconsin story is this: Gov. Scott Walker, a Tea Party-tinged Republican, is the advance guard of a new GOP push to dismantle public-sector unions as an electoral force."
When reading the Huffington Post, bear in mind the site is sponsored by MSNBC. If you must watch NBC shows on TV, remember to watch the dialog for attacks on conservatives, Christians, TEA partiers and Republicans in general.

The Constitution and Obamacare

Big Government  "What does the Constitution really say about the most controversial policy decisions of the present day? What arguments against Obamacare have potential in court, and which are DOA?

"Constitutional law experts Richard Epstein and John Yoo joined us to discuss these very issues. They examine the constitutionality of Obacamare through the lens of the “encroachment” argument (which has potential) and the “general welfare” argument, which they argue won’t work."  Some things they say you might like, others: not so much.
