Fans asked to remove pro-Arizona immigration law shirts during NBA game

Daily Caller "One of the fans, businessman Jim Clark, said he and a friend, who were wearing orange shirts that read “Viva Los 1070,” eventually were allowed to return to their seats during last Wednesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs after speaking with a security director."

Obama's idea of press freedom

Jeannie DeAngelis "Apparently Obama gets "angry and frustrated" being pressed for information. Barack prefers to orchestrate the venue with controlled pre-planned responses. A White House press corps asking extemporaneous, unrehearsed questions, even about free press, international human rights or an oil spill may be liberating for media types, but isn't a "freedom of press" ceremony really more about Obama? "

DoJ trial attorney in Black Panthers case resigns in protest

Rick Moran   "Even a US Civil Rights Commission subpoena couldn't get Holder to supply them with a reason why he dropped a case that Justice had already won. Now it appears that someone is going to talk. And what he has to say will no doubt prove very interesting to Congress."

A Nation of Profilers

Victor Davis Hanson "When we weigh racial and gender stereotypes for what we deem are noble purposes, we call it "diversity," but when considering criteria other than one's individuality for matters of public safety, it devolves into "profiling"?"

Polarization May Be Our Best Hope

Mona Charen  "The Post is expressing a slightly more refined version of the broader liberal assault on conservative activism. In this construct, massive rallies for Barack Obama are a sign of hope and human progress, but massive rallies against Obama’s health-care plan are evidence of “fringe sentiments” (Gov. Jennifer Granholm) or “fear” (Rep. Steve Driehaus), or are “un-American” (Rep. Steny Hoyer). When Michael Moore asked, during the Bush administration, “Dude: Where’s My Country,” that was social commentary. When tea partiers say similar things, they are proto-fascists."

WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED? .. IT'S ALL JUST BRAVO SIERRA

Neal Boortz "What's BS, you ask? This opposition --- virtually ALL of the opposition to the Arizona immigration bill. This is nothing less than pure absolute manufactured outrage over a bill that gives absolutely nobody any power nor requires anything of anyone that is not already given or required under federal law."

On the road

Posting will be on the skimpy side the next 24 hours as Mr and Mrs Dweller will be travelling through Arizona and hoping to spend money there. We'll gas up as soon as we enter the state and just before we leave it the next day. We'll hit the Cracker Barrels in Arizona as well.
We look forward to making up for lost time in a couple of days, so stick with us.

The “Howling Mob” theory of liberal politics

Bookworm Room This is a picture of the Howling Mob that formed against American Muslims immediately after 9/11: [Sorry, couldn't find one.]
This is a picture of the Howling Mob that formed against American Muslims after the Food Hood massacre:
[Sorry, again, I couldn't find one.]
This is a picture of the Howling Mob that gathered to boot Hispanics out of the country once Arizona passed its statute requiring police to comply with federal immigration laws:
[Whoops! Once again, I seem to be missing some pictures here.]
Here are some members of the Howling Tea Party Mob, gathered together to protest Barack Obama’s economic policies:

The Black Church's Commitment to Obama

Lloyd Marcus "My family and most of my black friends are Christians striving to live lives which honor Christ. And yet, there is a huge disconnect between their Christianity and their irrational, blind, and bordering on idol worship of Obama. Will the truth about Obama make a difference? For some, I think not. For those of you who value your commitment to Christ more than your loyalty to skin color, here are a few facts."...

The dots some don't want to connect

Mark Steyn "These days, Islam doesn't even have to show up. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has quietly pulled representations of Mohammed from its Islamic collection. With the Danish cartoons, violent mobs actually had to kill large numbers of people before Kurt Westegaard was sent into involuntary "retirement." Even with "South Park," the thugs still had to threaten murder. But the Metropolitan Museum caved pre-emptively – no murders, no threats but best to crawl into a fetal position, anyway."

Enough Money: a lesson in economics

Thomas Sowell "The key word in this statement, made by President Barack Obama recently, is "you." There is nothing wrong with my deciding how much money is enough for me or your deciding how much money is enough for you, but when politicians think that they should be deciding how much money is enough for other people, that is starting down a very slippery slope.
Politicians with the power to determine each citizen's income are no longer public servants. They are public masters."  Emphasis added.

Do you ever get the idea that our government is a bunch of left-wing undergraduates come to power?

Hot Air "“Human Rights First is an open borders group that opposes all government efforts to control illegal immigration and strengthen American national security.” That’s what its purpose is. And this guy was the grand pooh-bah of Human Rights First, Michael Posner.".... "He’s an Obama appointee, he’s in the State Department, he’s working for Hillary Clinton, Michael Posner. People keep saying to me, “How do these wackos keep getting into government,” as though Obama knows nothing about it,"...
