Nonsexual Zones of Trust and Military Policy

R. L. Bernard "Likewise, if the military removes DADT so homosexuality is no longer taboo, there would be no consequences from the military for the homosexual who made sexual overtures to a sexy roommate. And a homosexual tempted to rape the roommate could use the same excuse heterosexual rapists have always used, blaming the victim for inviting it by undressing so provocatively. But the victim will have been "set up" by the military's requirement that servicemembers of the same gender shower, dress, and room together while at the same time the military removes DADT and turns one's own gender into a sexualized zone."

The New Middle East Peril

James Lewis in AT;  "The United States is the only power capable of defending the crucial oil supply to Europe and other nations, and it is the only power able to defend its allies in the Gulf and Israel. Unfortunately, Obama, the most radical Leftist president ever, is in control of American power. "
Obama's Misguided Approach to Peacemaking "The new and dangerous path charted by the Obama administration betrays a shaky grasp of nuance in the Middle East. This misguided approach to Arab-Israeli peacemaking is bound to fail and exacerbate tensions in the region. All the while, it is emboldening Tehran and its terrorist allies as they watch the ease with which this administration has thrown its ally, Israel, under the proverbial bus. Team Obama would do well to rethink its priorities in the Middle East in a way that would genuinely benefit American interests both at home and abroad."

At White House in 1997, Supreme Court nominee Kagan urged Clinton to ban late-term abortions

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire "Documents reviewed Monday by The Associated Press show Kagan encouraging Clinton to support a bill that would have banned all abortions of viable fetuses except when the physical health of the mother was at risk. The documents from Clinton's presidential library are among the first to surface in which Kagan weighs in on the thorny issue of abortion."

Soldier-Citizens to the Rescue?

Victor Davis Hanson 
"Reform candidate Barack Obama has run up more debt in 15 months than unpopular spendthrift George W. Bush did in eight years. Obama once talked of a new unity, but he has polarized America far more rapidly than did the cowboy-sounding "decider" Bush."

Cuban Bloggers & Freedom Fighters Document Castro’s Atrocities (Video)

Gateway Pundit "These bloggers were obviously not happy with the Che Guevara T-shirts they see on today’s American youths. Val and Babalu are an invaluable source of honest Cuban news."

Georgia retirement home: Okay, on second thought, go ahead and pray before meals

Hot Air "The inevitable conclusion to this afternoon’s outrage du jour. Hope they enjoy the prayers now, because eventually a 90-year-old atheist with a son for a lawyer is going to land there. And pretty soon after that, grandma, you’ll be eating those prunes grace-free."

In Arizona County, Of 64 Highway Chases Last Month, Not One Perp a U.S. Citizen

Big Journalism "How can the debate over the Arizona law be conducted by the holier-than-thou East Coast liberals who don’t deal with the consequences of their positions without at least hearing the facts from a man like Sheriff Babeu? While they focus on Steve Nash and his oh-so-valiant choice of jersey, they ignore men like this who literally put their lives on the line every day due to the open border policies our friends in the media promote. Do they dare paint this man as a racist? In the good Sheriff’s own words: I don’t profile… I profile criminals."

RANTINGS FROM A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL TEACHER

Boortz "This rant took place at a La Raza rally at UCLA in California. The speaker is a man by the name of Ron Gochez. He is a history teacher at a government high school in California. This man is making a living from U.S. taxpayers. In just a minute you're going to be really ticked off about that. So we have a government school teacher, speaking at a La Raza rally. Are you ready for his rant?"...."This government school teacher went on to say that there are more than 40 million of "our people" north of the Rio Grande - "that means more than 40 million potential revolutionaries North of the border, inside the belly of the beast." "
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!  It seems a child in an art class was drawing a picture of the American Flag. The teacher told the student that she couldn't draw the flag because it was "offensive." Another student drew a picture of Barack Obama and was told what a beautiful picture it was."
Is America Conquered When the American Flag Is 'Offensive'? There is not now, nor has there ever been, any such land called "Aztlan." The American Southwest was never ruled by the Aztecs. And Mexico's jurisdiction over these territories lasted a mere ten years, owing in part to the historic Spanish presence.

U.S. Urges Action in Pakistan After Failed Bombing

NY Times " The new pressure from Washington was characterized by both the Pakistani and American officials as a sharp turnaround from the relatively polite encouragement adopted by the Obama administration in recent months. And it comes amid increasing debate within the administration about how to expand the American military’s influence — and even a boots-on-the-ground presence — on Pakistani soil."  Via Heritage

Former Attorney General Ed Meese on Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan

Heritage "Former Attorney General Ed Meese released the following statement: 

"First and foremost, any nominee to a lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court must demonstrate a thorough fidelity to apply the Constitution as it was written, rather than as they would like to re-write it. Given Solicitor General Kagan’s complete lack of judicial experience, and, for that matter, very limited litigation experience, Senators must not be rushed in their deliberative process. Because they have no prior judicial opinions to look to, Senators must conduct a more searching inquiry to determine if Kagan will decide cases based upon what is required by the Constitution as it is actually written, or whether she will rule based upon her own policy preferences."...

Kagan had rapid ascent to high court nomination "As dean of the Harvard Law School, Kagan's hiring of young conservative scholars "sent a strong signal to conservative alumni that, despite her own party affiliation, she was committed to intellectual diversity and meritocracy at the law school," said Harvard alumnus and former Bush administration lawyer Brad Berenson"
Kagan, the Harvard Ban on Military Recruiters, and Anti-Military Bias "In sum, Kagan’s support of a ban on military recruiters is legitimately subject to severe criticism. Senators should certainly question her about it. But I don’t see any reason to believe that it reflects any general hostility towards the armed forces." Um, OK, I guess.

Obama will let you know who his enemies are

Neal Boortz "It is clear that Obama wants the government to have more control of the Internet. Despots always feel the need to control sources of information. In this quest I want him to fail. Obama wants the government to have complete control over America's health care delivery system. I want him to fail. Obama wants fascist-style regulatory control over American business. Again, I want him to fail. Obama wants to prevent another Islamist terrorist attack on our country (though he won't say "Islamist,") I want him to succeed."

Unbelievable… Seniors Not Allowed to Pray Before Meals at Nursing Home

Gateway Pundit "Senior citizens are no longer allowed to pray before meals at the Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah, Georgia. Local officials say the meals are now provided with federal money and therefore the seniors are not allowed to pray before meals."   Who thinks up these rules anyway?
