Obama Tries To Stop Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Sweetness&Light   "The Obama administration is curbing the powers of an Arizona sheriff who has led one of the most contentious fights against illegal immigrants.  Under an agreement involving local enforcement of federal immigration law, Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies will no longer have the authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants in the streets in the course of their duty." ...."This action comes just a couple weeks after the Congressional Hispanic Caucus called on Mr. Obama to terminate the 287(g) program (a pdf file), and two months after La Raza, the ACLU and 521 other pro-amnesty organizations demanded that the program be stopped."

What's Wrong With Socialism?

By Joe Herring  in AT   "Our job, then, is to teach the lessons of history to those who fail to see the danger. We have to provide that all-important perspective to a generation that has been denied it. We have to do this one at a time, conversation by conversation. Tell your friends the truth; don't assume they know it. Become the person your friends and family consult when the subject turns to politics."

Who Are ‘They’?

By Victor Davis Hanson  "Racism, cited during the last weeks of the campaign as the only reason why an otherwise shoo-in Obama might lose, now often explains Obama’s falling popularity.

Explaining Away Mass Murder

By Charles Krauthammer  "The delicacy about the religion in question -- condescending, politically correct and deadly -- is nothing new.

September 10? It’s Worse Than That

By Andy McCarthy "The post-9/11 era was supposed to be about knocking down walls that obstructed effective counterterrorism. But behold the new wall, more insidious than its suicidal Nineties forerunner: the arbitrary barrier separating terrorism from “protected” incitement — the cagey, generalized, non-specific jihadist rhetoric that is the Islamist cleric’s stock-in-trade."

President “Dither and Waffle” Looks For Escape Hatch From Afghanistan

Gateway Pundit “His plan comes up short. There’s not enough troops, not enough resources and not enough urgency.
