Ann Coulter: A Post-Racial Lynch Mob
Ann Coulter "...the Non-Fox Media (NFM) didn't even pause before conjuring a racist plot in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month.
Before It's News released this about Martin: "The image [left] is a more recent photo of Trayvon Martin... the clean-cut, baby-faced pictures of the slain Florida teen plastered all over the news, are nearly four years old.
Excerpts from Ms. Coulter's latest column here:
...."Zimmerman told the police, his friends and his lawyer that he walked back to his car after hanging up with the police and was waylaid by Martin. No witnesses have told the press otherwise."
...."Among the reasons to be suspicious of the media as impartial judges of the evidence is that they keep showing us snapshots from Martin's childhood, rather than any recent photos.
"Without doing research, the average person would think Martin was a slight 12-year-old whippersnapper at the time of the shooting, rather than a strapping 6-foot, 160-pound 17-year-old. Indeed, he was 3 inches taller than Zimmerman, according to the police report.
"Why aren't they showing us Zimmerman's baby pictures?"
...."All this may give you an inkling of why we rely on the criminal justice system to determine guilt in criminal cases and not the fervid imaginations of the race-obsessed media."

Warning Signs "The Environmental Protection Agency is using its power to advance the objective of the environmental movement to deny Americans access to the energy that sustains the nation’s economy and is using the greatest hoax ever perpetrated, global warming—now called “climate change”—to achieve that goal."
"We are witnessing the destruction of the nation by the environmental movement and the EPA has just provided you with the most dramatic example of that plan."
...."NO! Coal provides the engine of our nation’s electrical power and oil provides the energy that fuels our transportation and is the basis for countless products that enhance and improve our lives every day.
"We are witnessing the destruction of the nation by the environmental movement and the EPA has just provided you with the most dramatic example of that plan."
American Institute for Economic Research: How much do higher oil prices hurt?
"All this means that an increase in the price of oil, even if it translates into rising costs of other energy commodities, will have much less impact on prices and profitability. The increase also will be much less harmful to the ability of the economy to produce goods and services (and generate income) than it has been in the past."
EPA to kill new coal-fired plants through first-ever greenhouse-gas regulations
"If you thought gas prices will never stop rising, just wait until you see what happens to electricity after the Barack Obama’s EPA gets its way. The agency will deliver on Obama’s election promise to bankrupt any new coal-fired electrical production in its first-ever regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions, the Washington Post reports. The new regulatory regime will all but guarantee that new coal-fired plants won’t be built to replace others shutting down:"...

EPA rules may push coal companies to boost exports "Tougher emission rules at U.S. power stations will likely force coal companies to make up for lost domestic customers by exporting more to countries in Asia where environmental regulations are less stringent, analysts said.
So, the earth's atmosphere will continue to be not one bit cleaner. As with oil, other parts of the earth will just have to handle the production that the American economy and workers cannot do. And do not expect a conservative congress to undo the damage that Obama will cause. That would take more political courage to stand up to the demagogy and litigation than I think exists in Washington. TD
"Railroads, which haul about 70 percent of U.S. coal, could also try to mitigate the damage from lower shipments to utilities by carrying more coal for exports."

His Worst Mistake: Obama Surrenders to Vladimir; Aiding the rebirth of the USSR.
"But Obama doesn’t care what happens to Russian civil society, nor does he care what happens to Syrian women and children butchered by Russian weapons and diplomatic cover. All Obama cares about is pretending before American voters that he has made Russia into a reliable friend, just long enough to get himself reelected. As Obama told Medvedev: once he is back in office he can do whatever he likes, with nothing more to lose."
DEBKAfile: Obama tells Putin and Khamenei: Wait until after my election “On all these issues, particularly missile defense, this can be solved. It is important for him (Putin) to give me space. This is my last election,” US President Barack Obama was “caught” telling Dmitry Medvedev on an open mike Sunday, March 26. DEBKA-Net-Weekly in its next issue out Friday reveals that almost the same message went out to Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, via Turkey’s Tayyip Erdogan.
"Find out what Obama offered Khamenei to smooth his passage to reelection – and much more."
This will cost us money to read it.
(Reprise from Tuesday) Obama's remarks with Medvedev are a diminution of the president's stature in the world, says FPI Director William Kristol
"It's one thing to acknowledge election year imperatives when discussing domestic issues at home. It's quite another to do so when discussing foreign policy with a foreign leader. .... "Obama's comments are therefore not only an acknowledgment of his thorough politicization of American foreign policy. They also represent a self-inflicted diminution of the stature of the American president in the world."

Obama: Just wait for my second term, comrade
Neal Boortz: Obama and his flexibility "Obama says that he will have flexibility on the issue of missile defense, but what else will he have “flexibility” with after his re-election? What about labor laws, taxes, healthcare, gun laws, education, immigration, or environmental policy? Obama’s second term will ensure his “fundamental transformation” of the United States into a country that you and I barely recognize. It will cement a dependent culture of big government and high taxes. We are almost there as it is, but Obama’s re-election will nearly make it a sure thing."
(Update) US diplomat has no comment on missile defense deal ..."Acting Undersecretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, one of President Obama's top nuclear weapons negotiators, told Russian media that she had no comment on suspicions that the president is crafting a "secret deal" on missile defense with the Russian government."
Some late posts on ObamaCare
Sen. Kerry Dares GOP to Make Obamacare Election Issue “This is not complicated,” he continued. “It’s made complicated by politicians who pursue an ideological agenda, which is why I’m glad Mitt Romney, when he was here [as governor of Massachusetts], passed healthcare. I’m sorry today he’s running away from it, but this is going to be a great debate.”
The ObamaCare Arguments – The Second Day "Justice Kennedy made it clear more than once that the government has a “heavy burden” to show that what it is doing is constitutional since it is compelling people to enter into commerce. Kennedy also stated that the government’s theory would “fundamentally change the relationship between the individual and the state.” This is a key point because in past cases where he has sometimes upset conservatives (such as Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a state sodomy law), Kennedy has sided with protecting the individual against the power of the state. This case falls squarely into that category. "
Legal Insurrection: Obamacare Oral Argument, Day 3 – Severability
Justice Kennedy: Obamacare 'changes the relationship of the Federal Government to the individual in the very fundamental way.
'"Obamacare flips the notion that power is derived from the consent of the governed. In that respect, an ambitious and aggressive government, would literally be able to require anything, as long as it was for the "common good."
"I hope Roberts asks Kennedy to write the opinion - hopefully, the majority opinion."

EPA's first salvo in their war on CO2
Rick Moran "Electricity costs are going to go up - perhaps way up. It depends on the economy and how it manages to make up for the lost power generation. Efficiencies elsewhere may keep the increase manageable. More likely, that process will lag a few years and rates will skyrocket.
EPA moves to kill the coal industry Golly, I’m shocked! Are you shocked? I’m shocked! After all,Dear Ruler did tell us in 2008 that his goal was to “bankrupt” the coal industry by imposing cap and trade regulations: “If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.” Neal Boortz
"Consumers will blame the power companies for the increases, not realizing it is their own government that wants them to pay sky high prices for electricity and has fashioned policies to see that it happens."

A look at the Trayvon Martin protestors
Police: Trayvon protesters ransack store
"Minutes after walking out of their school Friday, a large group of students walked through the streets of North Miami Beach. Along the way, they stopped at a Walgreens at 163rd Street and 15th Avenue at about 10:40 a.m.
"Surveillance video shows dozens of teenagers running through the store. Police said about 80 to 100 students stormed in, ransacking the shelves, before the school's vice principal ordered everyone outside." Black Quill and Ink has this video of the incident:
Now .. some talking dangerously "Not going to dwell on it here … but if the people rallying for Trayvon Martin were to turn their attention to the culture of violence that dominates young black urban males it might do more to prevent future tragedies like Trayvon Martin than screaming racism and demanding repeals of self-defense laws." Neal Boortz
DOUSE THE FLAMES, MR. PRESIDENT!
Pat Buchanan: "Barack Obama’s statement that the death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy that cries out for a more thorough investigation was the right and necessary thing to say.
For the dense among you, this Rich Terrell illustration refers not to race but the propagandic press. I believe Eric Holder lumped them among the cowards.
"But it fell far short of what was needed: a presidential call for a halt to the rhetoric that is stirring up racial rage and inflaming the nation. The incendiary language being deployed is both divisive and dangerous.

| Farrakhan |
Addressing the Sanford, Fla., incident, black Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan tweeted: “Where there is no justice, there will be no peace. Soon, and very soon, the law of retaliation may … be applied.”
The New Black Panther Party has issued a “Wanted Dead or Alive” poster featuring the face of George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin, and printed up a flier saying Martin was “murdered in cold blood.”
When Panther leader Mikhail Muhammad was asked if this could ignite an explosive situation that has already seen death threats drive Zimmerman and his father from their homes, Muhammad cursed and said Zimmerman “should be fearful for his life.”
Demanding “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” the Black Panther leader offered $10,000 for Zimmerman’s capture and called for 5,000 black men to run him down.
“If the government won’t do the job, we’ll do it,” he warned.
Spike Lee helpfully tweeted Zimmerman’s home address.
Friends say Zimmerman fears for his life.
