Thoughts on Gorism

Victor Davis Hanson  "You see, professed liberal humanitarianism and old fashioned “get mine” breed cynicism among the populace. If one were to believe Al Gore that there is a danger of manmade global warming and we all need to cut back, one might well lose faith when one sees that Al Gore lives differently from the way in which he has convinced you to live. And if one sees that the advocates for forced equality most certainly don’t want to be forced to do anything they advocate, then what are we left with?"

Illegal Aliens: Law and Sovereignty in Arizona

Andrew C. McCarthy  "Why “misguided” and “irresponsible”? The president elaborated that the Arizona law “threaten[s] to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans.” To be sure, Obama has notions of fairness, but they are his own, marinated in doctrinaire leftism. As for the American ideal that he ceaselessly invokes but clearly doesn’t get, our Constitution’s framers thought fundamental fairness would be fatally undermined by two things: the inability of the governed to consent to legal arrangements because it had become impossible to know what the law is, and the failure of central government to tend to its first responsibility: the nation’s security."

Beyond Schadenfreude: What George Will’s Crucifixion of Bill Maher Really Means

Big Hollywood "Maher’s accusations about race are not only odious, racist, and repugnant on their face, they are characteristic of the wholesale and relentless attempt by the left—and many in the media—to brand the Tea Party movement and, on a wider basis, any critic of the current administration as racially motivated. Those who watch Maher’s Real Time and enjoy his brand of political chatter would do well to examine its loose-lipped host for the very kind of bias he accuses the conservative movement of so blithely and so blanketly." The aforementioned analysis:  George Will Skewers Bill Maher :"It must have been a gut-wrenching moment when you were actually challenged to back up your outlandish assertions and accusations against the right you make so freely on HBO".

Amnesty Will Legalize More Terrorists

Human Events  "“Every aspect of our immigration system has been used by foreign terrorists to gain a safe haven in the United States,” Smith said. “A massive amnesty would not only fail to address this problem, it would overburden the system with millions of more individuals whose identities cannot be known or, as a practical matter, checked.”"  Connie Hair is a freelance writer, a former speechwriter for Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and a former media and coalitions advisor to the Senate Republican Conference.

Obama National Security Policy: Hope Their Bombs Don't Work

Ann Coulter "Second, it would be a little easier for the rest of us not to live in fear if the president's entire national security strategy didn't depend on average citizens happening to notice a smoldering SUV in Times Square or smoke coming from a fellow airline passenger's crotch."...."If only Dr. Hasan's gun had jammed at Fort Hood, that could have been another huge foreign policy success for Obama."

THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF OBAMAMEDIA

Nealz Nuze "So only 9% of Daily Kos readers believed the (alleged) bomber to be a Muslim while 71% believed it was a conservative. That pretty well sums up not only the content of the Daily Kos, but the readership of that blog as well. In this day and age how could anyone possibly be so completely brain-dead as to put Islamic terrorist so low on that list and Tea Partiers so high. This is dementia at a level I should have, but didn't know exists among the ObamaZombies out there."

ARE YOU STARTING TO BELIEVE ME NOW?

Neal Boortz "I've been warning you since the mid-1990s that if the voters of this country were ever stupid enough to put Democrats back in charge in Washington, the Democrats would make a move to seize all or a portion of their pension plans. Judging from some of the emails and Tweets I've been receiving the past few days, people are starting to believe that I just might have something here."

How close was the Times Square bomber to getting away?

G. Wesley Clark, MD "Thankfully, the Taliban is just slightly more incompetent at making bombs, than our government is at catching the bombers, and at protecting us."  Then this: Closing the barn door after the terrorist got away "Oh by the way, Mr. Shahzad, achieved no-fly list status sometimes probably on Monday but had passed all the security checks to board the plane despite the blaring red alert of paying cash for his last minute ticket . He also ,by the way, passed all the security checks to become a US citizen last year and is reported to have been a registered Democrat."

The Intellectual Hegemon

Randall Hoven "As intellectuals become teachers and professors, they will tend to promote (give good grades to) those who flatter their preconceived ideology. Therefore, in time, schools, universities, and the entire education industry will become one big, fact-free, self-admiration society with one ideology. The anti-hegemons become the hegemon. Facts will become like prayers and cigarettes: all but banned in public. More exactly, inconvenient facts will be banned. The few facts that support the preconceived ideology will still be allowed -- not because intellectuals believe in facts and rationality (such Western white male constructs!), but because facts can be useful propaganda tools."

A Pakistani-American on the Times Sq. bomber

American Thinker "...before you judge all of us, please remember that there is a silent majority of Muslims who wholeheartedly, emphatically condemns such terrorist activities. Why don't hear about them? It's because they remain mute, too afraid to speak or not passionate enough to get out there in public and condemn such acts of terror for fear of reprisals. They wait for others to speak for them and because of that reason they are "silent". " author anonymous 

The Congressional Assault on Criminal Justice

Heritage "By consistently creating new criminal laws without consulting the special expertise of the two judiciary committees, Congress is endangering civil liberties and placing all Americans at risk of unjust criminal conviction for violating crimes they did not even know they were committing."
