Retracto Round-Up: These Sites Ought to Correct the Record

Retracto, the Correction Alpaca "Whenever one respectable media outlet publishes lies, misinformation, and distortions, an inevitable consequence is that other sites pick up the bogus story, repeat the false or unproven facts, and attribute them to the original source. The original source is the tentpole, and if it’s broken, the entire edifice crumbles. Or does it?" From Big Journalism.

Justice Alito Dissents

Jan LaRue , American Thinker "The "Free Speech Five" endured Obama's displeasure for actually taking the First Amendment at its word: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." They upheld freedom of speech, the kind of speech the Framers of the Constitution intended to protect -- political speech, and not pornography."

Abortion Rights Groups Go Nuclear on Tim Tebow Ad

Pajamas Media "If the goal of pro-choice America is to reduce the number of abortions, why does anyone have a problem with quarterback Tim Tebow's Super Bowl ad?" Tebow's Super Story From American Thinker . "Unlike most of our well-known athletes, who have illegitimate children from multiple women, Tebow has vowed publicly to wait for sex until marriage."

‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal Seems Certain

Pajamas Media "Instead, one of the administration’s point men in the House has a background of military service. Patrick Murphy, a two-term Democrat from Pennsylvania who served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and was the first Iraq veteran elected to Congress, is the author of the only legislation that would repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” restrictions." But a Democrat nonetheless.

Civilization’s Lies

Victor Davis Hanson "One of the sad characteristics of contemporary Western society is the tendency to embrace noble lies. These are assertions and acts that don’t square with reality, with what we see and hear—and are voiced for apparently noble social purposes. Here are a few politically-incorrect examples..." 1) Debt and Deficits. 2) Israel. 3) Illegal immigration. 4) The image of the United States. 5) What is going on with the rise of a leftist aristocracy?

What does French President Nicolas Sarakozy really think of Obama?

Jennifer Rubin " “Obama has been in power for a year, and he has already lost three special elections. Me, I have won two legislative elections and the EU election. What can one say I’ve lost?” And as relayed by an adviser, Sarko seems to think Obama is “a charmer, a conciliator, but I am not sure that he’s a strong leader.” "

Early Morning Thread: How to Destabilize and Destroy a Country

Big Journalism "Maybe it’s also time we brought ourselves up to speed on the Soviet illegals program, the results of which are still with us. The Soviets spent a great deal of time and money identifying possible collaborators (whether witting or unwitting) in the homeland of the Principal Enemy — that was their name for the United States — and then gliding the recruits along their support networks of fellow travelers and sympathetic “useful idiots” (especially journalists) through the elite universities and into high governmental positions." "Useful idiot" definition. We're surrounded by useful idiots so this will help you recognize them. Check your TV listings.

Holder Under the Bus?

Jennifer Rubin "Either way, Obama now must suffer the results of Holder’s ill-advised decisions. There will be much speculation, given Emanuel’s comments, as to whether the White House is getting ready to throw Holder under that proverbial bus. Now, as the Democrats join the Republicans to block the KSM trial and to deny funds for moving detainees to Illinois, it would be as good a time as any." Obama's folly, part 2 "The administration is in a deep hole in the Abdulmutallab case. In the letter Holder keeps digging furiously. Attention must be paid."
