More American Expatriates Give Up Citizenship

NY Times "Relinquishing citizenship is relatively simple. The person must appear before a U.S. consular or diplomatic official in a foreign country and sign a renunciation oath. This does not allow a person to escape old tax bills or military obligations. Now, expats’ representatives fear renunciations will become more common." The article blames the Patriot Act more than Obama at present.

Protecting Free Speech on College Campuses

ACLJ "As part of our work, the ACLJ works to protect the constitutional rights of students who attend public colleges and universities. I want to share this encouraging victory with you concerning a student we represent in Virginia...." Jay Sekulow's Trial Notebook

Krauthammer: Obama may be president, but he's not "the arbiter of American political discourse"

 Washington Examiner "In his Wall Street speech, President Obama relied on a common rhetorical crutch which was defining what is and is not a legitimate argument. Charles Krauthammer made a fantastic observation:
The way, and he has done this before — he tries to denigrate, cast- out, and de-legitimize any argument against his. And here he is talking about that it's not legitimate even to suggest that the bill he is supporting might encourage a bailout."

Let’s Not Let a Celebration of Heritage Get Hijacked

Frank Cagle  "Let me say this again, so you don’t misunderstand. A celebration of our heritage and an appreciation for our history is a good thing. What we have to avoid is any attempt to gloss over or neglect to mention the disgusting enslavement of a whole people as the cause of the war. We also have to avoid allowing yahoos to use this event as cheap political theater."

Democrat’s Coal Miner Memorial Turns into Obama Rally (Video)

Gateway Pundit "They Just Can’t Help It–  This memorial today was supposed to be for the local miners who were killed in the worst mining accident in 25 years. Instead the democrats turned it into an Obama rally. The attendees had to wait in line for hours for tickets to the memorial/rally. “We love you Obama!”"

The violent left is at it again.

A War in the Near Future

By Faridoddin Haddad Adel  in Farda News, Iran  "Obama is prone to rushing to war, due to his character. He has always retreated on the nuclear issue and may go to war with Iran to to make up for his failures and to cover up America’s internal problems. We should not forget that the first American president to authorize the use of a nuclear bomb was a president with very little political experience, who was, surprisingly, elected."

Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But…

Big Government "But, again, these liberals think they are doing a good thing. The problem is that they are utterly wrong. If this country treads the left-wing path, the U.S. will not emerge a winner. It will be laid low just like the left wants, but it will not rise again. The left’s prescriptions will lead to our becoming a third world nation. And yet there is no doubt they really imagine they are doing good."   Warner Todd Huston

Why ACORN is Unworthy of Our Hard-Earned Tax Dollars and Chief Organizer’s Toilet Talk Proves Why

Big Government "A federal court of appeals overturned Clinton-appointee Judge Nina Gershon’s ruling that claimed the government had the right and responsibility to fund ACORN. Thank God, in light of the latest antics from ACORN Chief Organizer Berth Lewis. While applauding the Young Democratic Socialists, she said, “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me.” "  Kyle Olson

An Age of Untruth

Victor Davis Hanson "Do we recall any American shock when the Guardian published Charles Brooker’s lament — “John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. — where are you now that we need you?” And I don’t recall anyone felt that language was getting too heated when Howard Dean, head of the Democratic Party, fumed, “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for.” "...

Obama Tries to Eradicate Radical Islam

Raymond Ibrahim "The situation is already dire. There is already a lamentable lack [7] of study concerning Muslim war doctrine in the curriculum of American military studies, including in the Pentagon [8] and U.S. Army War College [9]. Obama’s more aggressive censorship program will only exacerbate matters: another recently released strategic document, the QDR [10], nary mentions anything remotely related to Islam — even as it stresses climate change [11], which it sees as an “accelerant of instability and conflict” around the world." The numbers in brackets refer to corroborating sources.
