Victor Davis Hanson: Beware of the Mob led by a demagogue

Victor Davis Hanson  "The role of a president is to rein in the mob, not to unleash it. The latter is what community organizers do; the former is what makes statesmen. Yet on issue after issue — anti-terrorism, global warming, government ethics, and racial relations — a frenzied mob, egged on by the media and demagogues like Barack Obama, have almost stormed the jail, only to dissipate when met by either evidence, or the knowledge that the incarcerated was one of their own — as if they had never screamed and threatened in the first place."

Charles Krauthammer: Obama v. SCOTUS

Charles Krauthammer  "The president’s preemptive attack on the court was in direct reaction to Obamacare’s three days of oral argument. It was a shock. After years of contemptuously dismissing the very idea of a legal challenge, Democrats suddenly realized there actually is a serious constitutional argument to be made against Obamacare — and they are losing it.

"Here were highly sophisticated conservative thinkers — lawyers and justices — making the case for limited government, and liberals weren’t even prepared for the obvious constitutional question: If Congress can force the individual into a private contract by authority of the commerce clause, what can it not force the individual to do? "

NEW BLACK PANTHERS: RACE WAR FOR TRAYVON APRIL 9TH 'DAY OF ACTION'

The Rules of Outrage — Or Why the Trayvon Martin Tragedy Divides the Country
"The majority, of citizens, however, sees the current civil rights hierarchy as much of the problem with, not the solution to, the Martin tragedy. No, it is worse than that still: the Martin case has evoked renewed interest not in disproportionate rates of black crime alone, but in the civil rights leadership’s apparent lack of concern about it."

Hope n' Change: Supreme Irony


"Because the dark, ugly heart throbbing at the center of Obamacare is the Independent Payment Advisory Board - known as IPAB to the politically correct, and as The Death Panel to realists. This is Obama's 15-member board of unelected people who will decide what medical treatments the government will and won't pay for, and who will (and importantly, who won't) get treatment. These are the unaccountable individuals who will take Obama's euthanistic threat to pass out painkillers instead of pacemakers and give it the power of law. Law which is specifically not subject to review by any court."

"I Just Cancelled My Subscription To TIME Magazine"

American Glob  "I’m not just saying that.
"Last Christmas, I was given a subscription to TIME Magazine as a gift.
"I just called TIME and cancelled it.

"I’m done.
"I refuse to be called a woman hating racist by woman hating racists.
"You should too."

Media leftism destroys what's remained of it's honor

Thomas Lifson:  The Left is Losing the Media Wars  "The left is taking serious casualties in the Zimmerman affair. Two lefty media operatives lost their jobs, we learned late Friday afternoon. Heads are rolling in the wake of failed attempts to politicize the death of Trayvon Martin. At NBC, a producer has been fired*.  And now Media Matters senior analyst M.J. Rosenberg, having humiliated the organization, is leaving the Soros-funded media bully outfit."

*NBC's 'Rosemary Woods' defense of fired producer  "Tom Maguire points out that NBC is virtually forced to say that the editing was a "mistake" because to admit to a deliberate act would leave them open to legal issues -- like a fat, juicy defamation suit from Zimmerman."

EDITGATE: NBC'S NAMELESS SCAPEGOAT RAISES MORE QUESTIONS  "To think that this biased, irresponsible, race-baiter can now freely move about the cabin and get a job anywhere in the news business, free from public scrutiny, is a cover up.


"Moreover, if NBC won’t name the producer, how in the world are we supposed to know someone has actually been fired?
"But the biggest problem for NBC News is that a single unnamed sacrificial scapegoat doesn't begin to pay for the deliberate crime of throwing gasoline on a racial fire that was already raging."
