Reading list for a cold day

Patriot Act author: Obama’s intel czar should be prosecuted   ... "The intelligence director said he tried to give the "least untruthful" answer he could without revealing classified information."
....
"Sensenbrenner, a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is pushing the USA Freedom Act, which would limit the NSA's power, tighten oversight and end the bulk collection of phone records.
"He was the original author of the Patriot Act in 2001, which the NSA has cited when filing secret court requests to conduct surveillance."

Krauthammer: Democrats will rue vote on the nuclear option (Video)  "Krauthammer suggested the Senate's nuclear option was retaliation for the criticism Democrats dealt with from the GOP for the fumbled rollout of ObamaCare.
" 'They do want to have the power to at least put some judges in because they are losing from all other elements of their agenda," he said. "But the Republicans will return the favor in the future.' "

JFK and a Silly Little Communist  
“He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. It’s — it had to be some silly little Communist.”
Jacqueline Kennedy, Nov. 22, 1963

... "The real conspiracy about the Kennedy Assassination is the myth built by the left that sinister right wing forces cut down the young president – when it was really just a silly little Communist."
Now Democrats are not limited to blaming a single political philosophy; they can make nearly half the American electorate the villains, which TV shows such as Law [and] Order did readily.

 George Will: ‘The Education of This President Is a Protracted and Often Amusing Process’. "...- as it was this week - as he continues to alight upon the obvious with a sense of profound and original discovery. He's alighting on what is obvious to governors. This is really why we should have governors more often than senators as president."
 

"Actually, it might be amusing for commentators, but it's not amusing for Americans to watch a president in his second term still learning the basics about how our government works.
"This is indeed why we rarely in our history elect senators as president and instead rely on governors that have demonstrated an ability to govern.
Unfortunately, the media didn't care about this in 2008 as they aided and abetted the election of a junior senator from Illinois with absolutely no qualifications for the highest office in the land other than being a charismatic Democrat that they fell in love with.
"What might end up being sadder is it looks like after eight years of this failed experiment they're going to back another Democrat they're in love with who also has no experience running anything.
"Are liberal media members capable of learning from their mistakes?"
