Taliban Flog, Execute Pregnant Woman in Afghanistan
Weekly Standard "Make no mistake: This is exactly what the Taliban has in store for all women in Afghanistan. That isn't a statement on internal U.S. politics, it is the reality of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan. Just recall the images of Taliban atrocities against women during their rein from 1996 - 2001. Remember images of women executed at the soccer field in Kabul? Or women buried in the ground up to their heads? The Taliban has made a sport of murdering women in such manner. As today's execution in Badghis shows, little has changed since the Taliban was ousted from power in 2001."
Wikileaks doc leaker had a rough early life: NY Times
Rick Moran "This is something that the New York Times has perfected over the years; turning a perp into a victim.
Nothing really subtle about it. Instead of journalism, we get soap opera. Instead of analysis, we get an emotion-laden jag designed to elicit feelings of sympathy for someone who doesn't deserve it."

Toplansky "While Raza and Fatah "understand [Bloomberg's] and other liberals goodwill, they maintain that the "stand is based on ignorance and guilt, and [liberals] will never in their lives have to face the tyranny of Islamism that targets, kills and maims Muslims worldwide, and is using liberalism itself to destroy liberal secular democratic societies from within.""
It only took them 9 years to shut down Hamburg mosque where 9/11 plotter Atta worshiped "The authorities in Hamburg said Monday that they had shut down the mosque there where several of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks had met because it remained a source of radicalization nearly a decade later."

Gateway Pundit "As Mr. Obama asks, “How much money do you need, anyway?- After a certain point how much is too much?” To answer him: “A hell of a lot, if you want to gorge yourself on regular meals of fresh lobster and caviar!” " From the comments section.
Democrats: Voters are dumb
Washington Times "No matter what the spin, claiming government bureaucrats will make health care more efficient is as absurd as saying FedEx would be better if it were run by the Post Office."

DallasNews.com "The 14th Amendment was adopted in 1868 as a way to block state laws that prevented former slaves from becoming citizens. It also effectively overruled the Dred Scott decision of 1857 in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared that slaves were mere property and could not become citizens.
"The amendment offered a broad definition of citizenship in one simple sentence: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." "

Ten Myths About the Bush Tax Cuts
Heritage "Nearly all of the conventional wisdom about the Bush tax cuts is wrong. In reality: The tax cuts have not substantially reduced current tax revenues, which were in fact not far from the 2000 pre-tax cut baseline and over the 2003 pre-tax cut baseline in 2006; The increased child tax credit, 10 percent tax bracket, and fix of the alternative minimum tax (AMT) reduced tax revenues much more than most of the "tax cuts for the rich";
"Economic growth rates have more than doubled since the 2003 tax cuts; and
"The tax cuts shifted even more of the income tax burden toward the rich.
"Setting optimal tax policy requires governing with facts rather than popular mythology, which is why it is important to set the record straight by debunking 10 myths about the Bush tax cuts."...h/t to Neal Boortz

Blaming Bush Doesn’t Create Jobs
Heritage "Notice how Speaker Pelosi is only concerned about the economy’s effect on government and unionized workers: teachers, police officers, firefighters and nurses. If you happen to work for the government, Speaker Pelosi is prepared to move heaven and earth to make sure your pay isn’t cut. But if you work for the private sector, Speaker Pelosi has nothing to offer you but higher taxes."
Arizona Must Be Wondering: 'Why Have Laws?'
