Valley girl kind of like asks David Horowitz dumbest question ever

Daily Caller Like, y'know..."A student questioner at the University of California – San Diego on May 10 confronted guest speaker David Horowitz with a question so manifestly brilliant that the crowd stood stunned in awe-struck silence and Horowitz was left muttering “Jesus” under his breath. The student, who compared the Founding Fathers to Islamic terrorists because of their battlefield tactics and the Salem Witch Trials, left after Horowitz began to speculate on the origins of what he perceived as the woman’s abject stupidity." Like, wow.

The Fruits of Weakness

Charles Krauthammer "This is not just an America in decline. This is an America in retreat -- accepting, ratifying and declaring its decline, and inviting rising powers to fill the vacuum. Nor is this retreat by inadvertence. This is retreat by design and, indeed, on principle. It's the perfect fulfillment of Obama's adopted Third World narrative of American misdeeds, disrespect and domination from which he has come to redeem us and the world."

Congressman McClintock Answers President Calderon

From Banning Books to Banning Blogs; How the DISCLOSE Act will restrict free speech

 Insider online "Now that Democrats in Congress seek to ram through an expansive regulatory regime for regulating political speech by Independence Day (no joke), it seems Kagan would defer to Congress’s wisdom on such restrictions rather than the plain text of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
"If Congress can ban political TV ads and pamphlets, why not blogs?"

Raising Arizona’s Defense

Heritage "It isn’t easy being Arizona these days, especially when President Barack Obama puts politics before Americans’ interests, a foreign head of state before the United States, and an agenda of apology before much-needed, sensible reforms."

Did Obama's speechwriters write Calderon's speech?

Althouse "I thought that before I heard Rush Limbaugh say that's what he thought. Read the whole thing. Don't miss the Wolf Blitzer interview. "

Mexican president: Of course we ask immigrants to show their papers

Hot Air "...Mexico’s best deterrent against illegals isn’t its statutes but the fact that abuse of immigrants is so vicious and endemic that Amnesty International called it a “human rights crisis” just last month. Bear this in mind the next time you see some leftist idiot applauding Calderon’s fine principled stand on the dignity of all individuals:"...This article covers what was discussed on Rush Limbaugh's Thursday show.

Fight Illegal Immigration: Buy from Arizona

Pajamas Media "By buying products from these and other Arizona-based companies, conservatives around the country (and the world) can help offset any economic impact the sporadic boycotts against Arizona might have.

"In the process we can send a strong message to other states that want to pass legislation similar to Arizona’s but are currently waiting to ascertain the fallout. That message is that Sharpton can give up his boycott and go back to his day job of falsely accusing white police officers of atrocities against black citizens. The American people are outraged over illegal immigration and are subsequently thrilled that Gov. Brewer has the gall to do what needs to be done.
"Sarah Palin said it this way: “We’re all Arizonans now.”
"As such, we can do our part in the fight against illegal immigration by buying products and services from Arizona."

Texas county moves to save its health care system from illegal aliens: no ID now means no service!

Collins Report "The problem faced by Williamson County and local governments across the country comes down to a Medicaid ruling that it won’t reimburse health care providers seeking to get paid for services provided to anyone who does not have a valid Social Security number. This ruling is choking hospitals to death because they are caught between it and the ever raising costs of running a medical facility."

Is the left finally reckoning with Rush?

Thomas Lifson in AT "I believe that Rush plays a huge role in the rise of conservatism. But to credit him with the role of leader of the conservative resurgence ignores the fundamentals: that Barack Obama has taken America in a radical new direction, and the American people (we are a center-right nation, as Rush often correctly notes) are waking up to the looming "fundamental change" in store. Rush may be the Paul Revere of the effort to restore America to the vision of its founders, but many others also deserve credit for the resulting political movement."
