Whitewashing black racism; Shabazz: “Prepare for war” (Updated)

Michelle Malkin "But with the racism shoe on the other foot, Team Obama and its media water-carriers are exhibiting the very racial cowardice Holder once purported to condemn. Thanks to Obama’s feckless Department of Injustice, these black supremacist brutes are free to show up on the next national Election Day at polling places in full paramilitary regalia with nightsticks, hurling racist, anti-American epithets at those exercising their right to vote and at those protecting the integrity of the electoral process.

"The reaction of our national media watchdogs: Shhhhhhhh."

Anti-Business Obama

Heritage  "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said this week:

Now, this president understands deeply that governments don’t create jobs, businesses create jobs. And our job as government is to try to make sure we’re creating the conditions that allow businesses to prosper so they can hire people back, get this economy going again.

"In reality, this President has done the exact opposite. He has attempted to use government spending to create jobs, failed miserably, and has only succeeded in creating an environment where businesses — the real job creators — are afraid to put America back to work."

Speaking of screwing up economies: Obama on Vegas: 'I love this town'  "The president never apologized, and while [Las Vegas Mayor]Goodman says he doesn't "hold any grudges," he declined to meet with the president while he was in town, citing a scheduling conflict.
"I checked my schedule; it was full," Goodman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "I'm meeting with Wayne Newton at 5 — that has been set up for over a week."  Plus he had a lot of laundry to fold.

The Selective Modesty of Barack Obama

Charles Krauthammer , NRO   "Notice, too, how Obama habitually refers to cabinet members and other high-level government officials as “my” — “my secretary of homeland security,” “my national security team,” “my ambassador.” The more normal — and respectful — usage is to say “the,” as in “the secretary of state.” These are, after all, public officials sworn to serve the nation and protect the Constitution — not just the man who appointed them.
"It’s a stylistic detail, but quite revealing of Obama’s exalted view of himself. Not surprising, perhaps, in a man whose major achievement before acceding to the presidency was writing two biographies — both about himself.
"Obama is not the first president with a large streak of narcissism. But the others had equally expansive feelings about their country. Obama’s modesty about America would be more understandable if he treated himself with the same reserve. But it is odd to have a president so convinced of his own magnificence — yet not of his own country’s."  Rush commented on this today.

Obama v. Arizona

Weekly Standard  "In fact, the Obama administration goes so far as to assert that S.B. 1070 prevents it from getting tough on truly nasty illegal immigrants: "S.B. 1070 disrupts federal enforcement priorities and resources that focus on aliens who pose a threat to national security or public safety ... undermin[ing] the federal government's careful balance of immigration enforcement policies and objectives."
"But that line of argument wholly misses the point. When courts decide whether federal law preempts state law, the question is not whether the state law conflicts with the president's selective enforcement of federal statutes. The question is whether the state law "stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment ... of the full purposes and objectives of Congress," as embodied by the federal statutes. S.B. 1070 satisfies that test – it does nothing more than allow state officials to enforce Congress's purposes and objectives as expressed in current federal statutes." Emphasis added.

Obama’s New Take on Partisanship

Victor Davis Hanson "President Obama’s falling approval ratings are not just due to ineptness on the Gulf oil spill, the economy, and the war, but also to a growing perception of abject hypocrisy and lack of character. The disjunction between Senator Obama and President Obama explains a great deal of why he cannot convince either his opposition or the public as a whole that he will ever quite be sincere about anything."

Do the States Have the Power of Nullification?

Volokh Conspiracy "In a recently published book, Nullification, author Tom Woods maintains that states have a power to nullify laws that exceed the powers of Congress to enact."...."Political activists should not waste their precious energies on sketchy constitutional theories such as the assertion of a state power to nullify unconstitutional laws that, for better or worse, have long been rejected by the Supreme Court–as Wisconsin’s was in Ableman v. Booth–that five justices certainly would not today support, and that rest on dubious claims about original meaning."

Ann Coulter vs. Bill Kristol: Beginnings of a Conservative Schism?

Politics Daily "Until now, there has been somewhat of an unspoken rule, adhered to by most on the right, that conservative Republicans would vigorously oppose Obama's liberal domestic policies while supporting his efforts to win in Afghanistan. After all, Republicans had staunchly backed George W. Bush when he made the case for fighting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Changing course now would seem craven -- playing politics with national security. And so, in foreign policy, Obama was criticized from the right only when he appeared to be showing weakness, not when he displayed toughness."
 The length of this war is not of our choosing; we will be fighting al Qaeda and their allies for the next few decades somewhere as long as they want to kill Americans wholesale. Israel's half-century struggle against those who desire to wipe them off the face of the earth is certainly not Israel's choice.
Presently we are fighting them in a region that has nuclear weapons terrorists would love to possess.

The Ground Zero mosque; a contrary view

American Thinker "For Americans to publicly shame and censure the proponents of the mosque project is appropriate, for it is a truly tasteless and shameless act;, but to try and use the power of the STATE to prevent the shameless display is EXACTLY what the government of a [third] world dictatorship would do."  Arthur Koenig  This is what you called reasoned, non-political debate.

Israelis Are Racists, and Besides, Some of My Best Political Hacks Are Jews  "And given his lack of sympathy for the Jewish state, one wonders just how much advanced notice would be advisable for Israel to give to the U.S. if it were compelled to attack Iran because the U.S. refuses to do so."
