"The last spark of life in the initiatives was quashed once and for all with the arrival of a new US administration," it said. Bahey eldin Hassan, the rights group's director, said the 12 countries surveyed were indicative of the region."

A DOJ lawyer smears his coworkers to cover up a politically motivated decision.

NRO "Such charges — charges that call into question their professionalism and ethics — may ultimately force the attorneys involved in this case to reveal the truth as whistleblowers. That would no doubt be even more embarrassing to the officials who dismissed the case. Make no mistake: They did so for political reasons having nothing to do with the merits of the allegations against the [New Black Panther Party]."

Barack Obama to miss most of Nobel Peace Prize events

UK Telegraph "His decision is thought to be fuelled by embarrassment over being given the award so early in his presidency and a wish to avoid a public backlash in the US.

Neal Boortz "...these 15,000 delegates are not in Copenhagen to discuss the climate. Nope. They are in Copenhagen to discuss the redistribution of wealth around the world. They just have to figure out how to package it and justify it .. all in the name of climate change. "

READY TO RULE

Boortz , of courtz: "This nuance was lost on most of the American voters. People were so gunched up in the media-driven ObamaFrenzy that they didn't stop for a moment to think that in America we don't elect rulers, we elect leaders. Well ... sometimes. It is now clear that Obama meant exactly what he said. He was ready to rule. He does consider himself to be a ruler. Here's some evidence for you."

NY Times "The Environmental Protection Agency formally declared on Monday that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases constitute a threat to human health and welfare. The move empowers the agency to regulate these emissions and gives President Obama an important tool if Congress fails to pass legislation to reduce global warming emissions."

Glenn Beck, Where Art Thou?

Victor Davis Hanson "Make sure that a proven attack dog, such as Rep. Maxine Waters, supplies the proper race/class context. ("While we appreciate the need for the expansion of regulatory authority, we can no longer afford for our public policy to be defined by the world view of Wall Street," Waters said.)Presto! You get results — or, in the boast of Inner City head Pierre Sutton, "They got the message.""

Mission statement of the EPA

EPA.gov "Often, we set national standards that states and tribes enforce through their own regulations. If they fail to meet the national standards, we can help them. We also enforce our regulations, and help companies understand the requirements. " "Help"? Does this statement give you chills or what? (Emphasis mine.)
