We Need an Administrative-Detention Law. Denver shows us why we shouldn’t treat terror as a law-enforcement problem.

By Andrew C. McCarthy= "This is the bind we’ve put ourselves in by wedding our security to our criminal-justice processes: Arrest early to prevent an attack and prosecutors won’t be able to make charges stick — certainly not against the most significant terrorists. But if we wait too long in order for law enforcement to build a solid case, we increase the chance of a catastrophic terrorist attack."...."Our criminal-justice system is rightly the envy of the world, but it was designed to contain crime rather than to protect the nation from hostile foreign threats. By relying on it to do that which it is not fit to do — a job at odds with the presumption of innocence — we continue to invite catastrophe."

Deconstructing the “Whup Ass” (Said he.)

by Victor Davis Hanson "Barak Obama did not transcend race as promised. Nor was there a racial backlash against him as his supporters both feared and now charge.Rather the mood is weariness. One major reason Obama’s polls have dropped is the public resentment of this spate of allegations of racism."

Why is the Left so angry at Blacks who love America?

By Lloyd Marcus "I received angry emails from blacks who said I should be ashamed of myself. Apparently, they believe my not resenting whites and America is a betrayal of my blackness. I no longer feel the need to be patient with racist blacks. Just as we do not tolerate the KKK and white supremacists, we should not give a pass to racist blacks." Link: Lloyd Marcus.com

EXPLOSIVE NEW AUDIO Reveals White House Using NEA to Push Partisan Agenda

Breitbart "Should the National Endowment for the Arts encourage artists to create art on issues being vehemently debated nationally?"...."The question still requires debate but the facts do not. The NEA and the White House did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address politically controversial issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable."

Bertha, you lie!

J.C. Arenas "Lewis's performance during the interview with U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and host Chris Wallace was the finest in liberal arrogance and dishonesty. Throughout, she didn't bother to acknowledge Issa with eye contact and she often evaded their questions so she could continue to assert ACORN does so much good for poor, working class minorities."

The real reason for the rage: Americans aren't racist - they're just furious at Obama and Washington

By Frank Luntz "Obama's popularity hasn't tumbled because he's black. It's tumbled because he has come to represent Washington instead of those who sent him there. Read More: "

President Barack Obama is beginning to look out of his depth

UK Telegraph "Regimes in Moscow, Pyongyang and Tehran simply pocket his concessions and carry on as before. The picture emerging from the White House is a disturbing one, of timidity, clumsiness and short-term calculation. Some say he is the weakest president since Jimmy Carter. The grizzled veterans of the Democratic leadership in Congress have found Mr Obama and his team of bright young advisers a pushover."

The Max Tax: Baucus Health Bill Is More of the Same

Heritage "The President needs to lead by meeting with key leaders of both parties and seek bipartisan reform around two key themes: 1) instead of a one-size-fits-all federal solution, Congress should let the states take the lead on reform, and 2) reform the tax treatment of health insurance to give all taxpayers tax relief for purchasing private insurance and extend assistance (through spending offsets) to low-income families to purchase private insurance instead of expanding government care."

A QUESTION FROM BARACK OBAMA

Boortz "Obama wants to know the following: How do we balance our freedom with our need to "look after one another"?"...."There's another more subtle premise at work in Obama's comment. Apparently he thinks that the only way Americans will "look after one another" is through the processes of government. Private charity has always been more effective at taking care of those truly in need. It was government, not private charity, that chased the fathers out of the homes of countless welfare families."

Sunday Obamathon Turns Into Media Critique; Says Press is Perpetuating 'Rude' Behavior

NEWSBUSTERS "According to Obama, alleging he wasn't doing any "media-bashing," mentioned the three major cable news networks by name, and said they were the ones enabling the "rude" behavior that some of their on-air voices have decried by giving it so much attention."

The Neglected Duty of Civic Awareness

By Chuck Colson (From 1996) "As the great reformer John Calvin once wrote: “Civil authority is a calling, not only holy and lawful before God, but also the most sacred and by far the most honorable of all callings in the whole life of mortal men.”Let’s remember the high calling of public service so that we do not shirk our civic responsibility."
