American Thinker "These people who do not respect our country enough to enter the country properly and legally. They do not care that we have laws, and they bring their own culture here. Many of them do not respect our flag; in fact, they burn it and spit on it in public, periodically." Heather Carlton

What will be the October Surprise?
Atlas Shrugs "But the party of haters, infiltrators, anti-capitalists, anti-freedom, anti-individual rights is going to have to pull off something really catastrophic to stay in power this November. And they will, because they despise the premise of America and they mean to replace it with statism, the source of untold, incomprehensible human misery for centuries. Ayn Rand wrote of statism:"
The political expression of altruism is collectivism or statism, which holds that man’s life and work belong to the state—to society, to the group, the gang, the race, the nation—and that the state may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good. The Objectivist Newsletter, Aug. 1962, 35
Daily Gut: Ringo’s Mindless Peace & Love
Big Hollywood "They die because people listen to aging hippes like Ringo Starr. The idea that all the evil in the world will dissolve if we all chant peace and love is what enables evil in the world to flourish.Threat of war, however, makes peace possible – not silly proclamations of hugs and kisses.
"Of course, I’m probably picking on Ringo a bit too much here. But really, jackasses who spout peace, can only spout peace, if the more sensible folks around him are willing to wage war."
Should I remove that "Visualize peace" bumper sticker from my car?

Further thoughts about immigration, ‘racism,’ and political correctness (a lesson in common sense)
Roger Kimball "The attorney general of the United States, his boss, many college students, many college professors, the entire state of California, the ACLU, other squishy liberals of sundry description: all claim to be outraged by the fact that Arizona authorities have the temerity to be suspicious of people who are acting suspiciously. And yet, my friend points out, consider the following:"...

Lack of Jobs Increasingly Blamed on Uncertainty Created by Obama’s Policies
"But, Seidenberg said he was “troubled” by Obama’s agenda, so much so that he had “reached a point where the negative effects of these policies are simply too significant to ignore.”

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.Video: Megyn Kelly destroys Malik Zulu Shabazz

Lebanese Minister Wiam Wahhab... : "I Like the Germans in the World Cup because They Burned the Jews"

Anti-Business Obama
Heritage "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said this week:
"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."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.
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.
