Freedom on the March? No Thanks to the American Left

Pajamas Media  "...the American left’s support of national actors who are anti-democratic and anti-American. Their pattern of conduct has seen them dealing with the most disreputable leaders in the world.
"Ironically, this anti-American predilection shows leftists actually do have the ability to show outrage over Libya. When President Reagan ordered the bombing of Libyan targets in 1986, in response to a Libyan terror attack on a German nightclub frequented by American military personnel, the left condemned the act as “immoral,” for “seriously violating laws and norms governing international relations.” "

The Libyan people are no more our ally than Qaddafi.

speroforum
Andrew C. McCarthy "In any event, guess who else wants Qaddafi gone tomorrow? None other than Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s sharia compass, who is still tingling from his recent, triumphant return to Egypt, right across the border from Eastern Libya, where Qaddafi’s fiercest opposition just happens to be. He did make time, though, to issue a fatwa last week calling for the Libyan despot’s assassination.
"Not to worry, though. We have it on good authority (the U.S. government) that the Muslim Brotherhood is a “largely secular” organization, with a real passion for democracy. Perhaps if one of the Libyan secularists is moved to carry out the fatwa — which, of course, should be understood as a strictly secular edict — Secretary Clinton could find a new friend of America in Sheikh Qaradawi.

Our Schizoid Foreign Policy

Victor Davis Hanson "Autocratic and dictatorial Russia has become a veritable friend. America will say very little about the Russian government’s involvement in the chronic assassination of journalists and dissidents. We don’t mind passing along nuclear-weapon information about our British allies to Russia if it furthers better relations with Moscow and results in a treaty. We apparently are more worried about offending Vladimir Putin than about offending our Polish and Czech allies. We eagerly sign an arms treaty that most people believe favors Russia more than ourselves, and we shrug when Russia does not, as promised, help thwart Iranian nuclear proliferation."
But Israel better not mess with us or else.

Sorry, but Israelis Have Good Reason to Be Fearful

Commentary Magazine  "I’ve written elsewhere that Arab democracy is Israel’s only hope for long-term peace. And if the current revolutions indeed succeed in producing it, most Israelis will cheer. But our experience is that, in this region, change can always be for the worse, and usually is. Right now, nobody can promise that this particular change won’t be the same."

Close friend of Obama's former pastor 
Jerusalem Post  "President Obama," Farrakhan said, "if you allow the Zionists to push you, to mount a military offensive against Gaddafi and you go in and kill him and his sons as you did with Saddam Hussein and his sons, I’m warning you this is a Libyan problem, let the Libyans solve their problem among themselves.” Farrakhan called Muammar Gaddafi "my brother" and "my friend."

Iran would "slaughter" people in revolt: defector

Reuters   "Ahmed Maleki, who was vice consul of Iran's consulate in Milan before fleeing to Paris with his family last month, is the latest in a string of officials to defect from the Islamic state and join a year-old opposition group called the Green Wave.
"He said in an interview that Iranians had been inspired by images of popular revolt in North Africa but faced a regime far more brutal than those of Egypt, Tunisia or even Libya."
All that is holding back their brutality is Obama's offer of friendship.

House Hearing: Obamacare Threatens American Medical Innovation

Obama takes us from this...
The Foundry  "Until now, the United States has been the world leader in medical innovation, but this is by no means a given for the future. Due to burdensome, time-consuming regulations, medical innovation faces an uphill battle in the United States. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken note of this and just this week released a white paper proposing a new approval pathway for medical devices that would accelerate the process and reduce costs for medical device companies. Unfortunately, at the same time that the FDA is taking steps to encourage future innovation, new taxes under Obamacare will further diminish the United States’ competitiveness in the industry."

Treatment of Libya Illustrates the Fatuousness of the Human Rights Council

Heritage  "Fatuous:1. foolish or inane, especially in an unconscious, complacent manner; silly. 2. unreal; illusory."  Dictionary.com
"The brutal truth is that the Council has proven to be a weak body easily manipulated by repressive regimes to provide a patina of international legitimacy on their abuses. The Bush administration was right to shun the Council and the Obama administration has made precious little progress in improving the HRC since overturning that decision and joining its ranks."
