The protection of Easter in Jewish Jerusalem

Washington Times "Better to take your celebration to Israel, where the government will assist your visit. It's the difference between Middle East and the cultural West, between the 8th and 21st centuries, between civilized and not-so-civilized. The Israeli guarantee of religious freedom, taken for granted in the nations of the West, is part of what invites hostility and belligerence from Israel's neighbors."

Saving the Republic: Yes We Can

American Thinker "Americans must speak up. Congress may provide at least some security. Directly accountable to the electorate, Congress has a historical role in reclaiming unconstitutionally exercised executive power . But if Americans do not seek redress, then there will be no redress. It starts with a decision to abandon fear and say no. No longer can Americans stand by and let this perversion of a presidency devour American liberty unchallenged."John Griffing

Fellating the White House

Atlas Shrugs "...many White House correspondents and other top tier journalists want to write Obama books. Anything with "Obama" on it is running at a huge premium in the book publication market. But the kind of books that sell need "inside access" and this is something that the communications team at the White House doles out minimally, and increasingly, only when favors are part of the arrangement. What I have learned after discussions over the last several days with several journalists who either have regular access to the White House or are part of the White House press corps is that there is a growing sense that access is traded for positive stories -- or perhaps worse, an agreement that things learned will not be reported in the near term." Emphasis added. Then this: Communications Corruption at the White House

Is Obama Using ‘Hard Power’ to ‘Get Israel to Toe the Line’?

Pajamas Media "Part I of a two-part interview with Moshe Arens — former Israeli defense minister, foreign minister, and ambassador to the U.S."

On the Left, Comparing Bush's America to North Korea Makes You Supreme Court Material

Newsbusters "Harold Koh wrote...about America’s disregard for international law after the September 11th attacks that earned it a place along with North Korea and Iraq in the “axis of disobedience.” He also told a Senate hearing that the Bush administration had imposed, quote, “unnecessary, self-inflicted wounds, which have gravely diminished our global standing and damaged our reputation for respecting the rule of law.” And, of course, Harold Koh is being talked about as a possible Supreme Court justice now."

Put This on a Billboard: Droopy Pants Can Kill

NY Times "“In my 22 years of policing, there was a common denominator,” he said. “The first indicator that your child is having problems is the dress code. Prior to the sagging pants, it was the shoestrings out of sneakers. All this is born out of prison. We took the shoestrings and the belts from prisoners.” “This is probably not a perfect science,” he added, “but if you start looking at how your child is dressing, it is an indicator of who his friends are and what group he’s associated with. It’s all in the clothing.” "

Amnesty International condones jihad?

Hot Air "“I believe the campaign fundamentally damages Amnesty International’s integrity and, more importantly, constitutes a threat to human rights,” Sahgal wrote in an email to the organisation’s leaders on January 30. “To be appearing on platforms with Britain’s most famous supporter of the Taliban, whom we treat as a human rights defender, is a gross error of judgment.” …"

Fairness is in the Eye of the Beholder Vice President Biden

Heritage "Putting aside the fact that the Vice President thinks top-earners “get” their income instead of earning it through hard work, innovation and business acumen, he is right that the top one percent of taxpayers earn 22 percent of all income. But what he fails to mention is that they also pay more than 40 percent of all income taxes. By most people’s standards that is more than enough “equity”."

Slapping Friends

Charles Krauthammer "How can you explain a policy toward Britain that makes no strategic or moral sense? And even if you can, how do you explain the gratuitous slaps to the Czechs, Poles, Indians and others? Perhaps when an Obama Doctrine is finally worked out, we shall learn whether it was pique, principle or mere carelessness."

Andrew Breitbart Gets Waylaid By Egg-Throwing Moonbats On The Way To Searchlight

Nicedeb.com "...Friendly media types, like any of the anchors on Fox (with the exception of Geraldo, I guess) need to challenge these reports of tea party racism, and violence, instead of assuming there must be some truth to it. No there must not be any truth to it. Alinsky Democrats have no respect for the truth, and the sooner decent people understand that, the better."
