Liberals and the Violence Card

Rush Limbaugh "The latest liberal meme is to equate skepticism of the Obama administration with a tendency toward violence. That takes me back 15 years ago to the time President Bill Clinton accused "loud and angry voices" on the airwaves (i.e., radio talk-show hosts like me) of having incited Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. What self-serving nonsense. Liberals are perfectly comfortable with antigovernment protest when they're not in power. From the halls of the Ivy League to the halls of Congress, from the antiwar protests during the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq to the anticapitalist protests during International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings, we're used to seeing leftist malcontents take to the streets. " Emphasis added.

Goodwin Liu flunks the mainstream test, Part Two

Powerline "Interpreting the Constitution is, of course, one of the most important things judges do. Thus, the notion that Liu's writings about how the Constitution should be interpreted have "no bearing on [his] role as a judge" insults the intelligence of the Senators on the Judiciary Committee. When the path to confirmation involves insulting Senators' intelligence to this degree, that path is likely to be rocky. Liu is looking like a nominee Republicans may be able to block."

Free All The SEALs From Travesty

Investors.com "An al-Qaida handbook captured in a raid by British authorities on a terrorist cell in Manchester, England, states "brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by state security before the judge. Complain of mistreatment while in prison." And lie Abed did."...."This, however, is a politically correct administration that wants to close the detainee facility in Guantanamo Bay lest it tarnish our image among Islamofascists worldwide. We apologize to everybody and anybody. We won't tolerate another Abu Ghraib, so we tolerate this tragedy."

Mr. Obama’s Nowhere Discussions

Victor Davis Hanson     "President Obama could rather easily restore his credibility. But to do so, he would have to stop talking and start making hard policy decisions."

American Neutrality Toward Israel Invites Violence

Victor Davis Hanson "No wonder that in the ongoing dispute, most of the world adds up the pluses and minuses and concludes that it is wiser to side with Israel’s foes than to become its friend. But why, until now, has America always bucked the tide?"...."No matter. This administration should take a deep breath and review history. It would learn that when Israel is alone, its opportunistic enemies pile on. And then war becomes more, not less, likely."

Finance Reform: Neal Boortz makes the complex understandable

Obama slams Wall Street ways while asking support

Yahoo "Obama has denied any White House involvement in the timing of the SEC case, but the charges have emboldened Democrats in their criticism of Republicans who oppose the administration's overhaul proposal -- even though measures in the proposal may not have stopped the transactions involved in the Goldman case."

OBAMA ON EXCESS, WALL STREET AND THE VAT

Boortz "Now he tells us. Obama can't let the Bush tax cuts expire because of the deficit that he inherited. Isn't that convenient? We can spend a trillion dollars on a government takeover of healthcare but god-forbid we let rich people keep more of the money they earn ... we need that money in order to pay down the deficit! Somehow the money that is used (or borrowed) to pay for the Democrat agenda is more legitimate than the money earned by hard-working Americans simply because the government believes they earn "too much."
