ICE Assists German Government in Persecuting Homeschoolers

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Dave Blount

One of Hitler’s progressive policies survives to this day in Germany: a ban on homeschooling. Uwe and Hannalore Romeike of Bissingen had three of their four children temporarily confiscated by the State because they insisted on teaching them at home, undermining Big Government’s ability to twist their minds into the shape of its choosing. In […]

Trials for bin Laden? Why?

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

There has never been a trial of a fallen national leader that would stand up to the scrutiny of good criminal law. They have always been politically motivated, full of passion, and short on legal niceties or any observation of technical precision. Because of this, should the United States capture Usamma bin Laden, she should […]

Modern Day Intolerable Acts

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

The Heritage Foundation responds to the health care vote. They say it better (and with less cussing) than I could: As for the States filing suit? YES. South Carolina, where I live, has already committed to doing so. Our Attorney General, Henry McMaster, released a statement on Friday and again tonight. After the U.S. House’s […]

Obama Judgeship Bribery Joins Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback

Posted on March 4, 2010March 4, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Are you a member of the U.S. House of Reps or a Senator that needs some “convincing” that selling out your constituents and implementing a socialist take over of healthcare is a good idea? Well, President Wheeler-Dealer has a deal for you. You’ve heard of the Cornhusker Kickback where a Senator from a western state […]

Congress? Who Needs ‘Em? Let Obama Pack the Supreme Court

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

The Philadelphia Inquirer published a reader feedback opinion editorial from reader Stan Isaacs that is as outlandish as it is indicative of the disregard for the American process that liberals all too often exhibit. It is proof once again that tradition, law, and any effort at legitimacy is wholly outside a liberal’s field of interest. […]

Lug me tender

Posted on February 28, 2010February 28, 2010 by Ron Coleman

Should a law school be tendering seven figures of money to a minor league baseball team for stadium naming rights? : That is certainly a novel question. I tackled the whole concept of branding, memory and stadium names in the context of the Mets’ Citi Field deal a few years ago–but a bank is one thing. […]

In Crystal Mangum, Duke Rape Accuser, Leftist Tactics Come Home To Roost

Posted on February 20, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

Crystal Gale Mangum, progressive heroine and the accuser in the infamous Duke Lacrosse Rape Case, is in the news once again: Durham police arrested Mangum for attempted murder, arson, and identity theft after responding to a domestic disturbance call: Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted […]

Google: Beyond the invisible hand

Posted on February 14, 2010February 14, 2010 by Ron Coleman

No, it’s not all good. Years ago I wrote, : “Google is : not a utility. Or an agent of the state, or a thing that owes anyone anything except to the extent they pay for it. At least for now.” Out of nowhere comes Google Buzz. : It’s social networking that just appeared in your mailbox! : As […]

CNBC Slams Obama’s ‘Unholy Alliance’

Posted on February 11, 2010February 11, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Well, CNBC’s Media and Technology Editor, Dennis Kneale, is only the latest to jump my little “Unions are Antithetical to Good Government” bandwagon. Kneale slams Obama’s “unholy alliance” with Big Labor and proclaims it a danger to the country. He couldn’t be more right. Here is the article: “Obama’s Unholy Union-With Unions” Here are a […]

Obama: Vending Machine Operator in Chief

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Wanna know the next stop for the Big Government juggernaut? School vending machines. That’s right, now that Obama has taken control of the auto manufacturers next he wants to control what sort of vending machine your schools have. Right after that he’ll likely decide that he…. You know, right there I was going to try […]

In SCOTUS McCain-Feingold Decision, People Miss The Best Way To Reduce Monetary Influence In Elections

Posted on January 22, 2010 by William Teach

If you haven’t heard about the SCOTUS decision, here’s a little recap Overruling two important precedents about the First Amendment rights of corporations, a bitterly divided Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. The 5-to-4 decision was a vindication, the majority said, of the […]

Moonbat Eco-Pirates Throw Stones From Cracked Glass Boat

Posted on January 11, 2010 by Dave Blount

This is too much even from moonbats, whose capacity for projection is legendary: Environment lobby group Sea Shepherd has lodged a piracy complaint in the Netherlands against the captain and crew of a Japanese ship that collided with one of its vessels. “We have lodged a complaint of piracy with the Dutch prosecuting authority against […]

The Ultra-Flexible WMD Definition

Posted on January 10, 2010January 10, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

Despite finding saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and despite various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who sold them, apparently, the only thing that would have satisfied the left that Saddam had WMDs would have been discovering a giant SPECTRE-sized Ken Adam-styled laboratory with men in white lab coats hard at work caught in the act. But as Elizabeth Blackney, AKA “Media Lizzy” notes on her Facebook page, my how the definition of WMDs has changed…

Petition Against KSM Carnival Trial

Posted on January 6, 2010 by Dave Blount

Human Events is offering a chance to speak out against the insane show trial Comrade Obama is granting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a stone’s throw from Ground Zero. A petition to be sent to Chairman Zero’s pro-terrorist AG John Holder lists the following reasons for opposing this sick spectacle: 1. Trying these terrorists in […]

Posted on January 3, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

United Press International is reporting that abortion rates rose five percent in Illinois in 2008. Illinois doctors performed 47,717 abortions, the most in five years.

SCOTUS Deals Socialism And Therefore, Obama, A Blow

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

At least I think that’s what happened. Not sure. Here’s the good news, if a little late for the cannibalized companies: In a summary decision so brief as to slip under the radar of many, the U.S. Supreme Court settled the law about this (at the time) white-hot legal issue with a silent bolt of […]

Chgo Sun-Times Says Healthcare is a Right

Posted on December 30, 2009December 30, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

It has come to this. A newspaper in one of America’s biggest cities has so sold out to extremists, left-wing ideology that it has throw logic, facts, and reality to the four winds in order to sell Obama’s socialist healthcare policies. In a recent editorial the Chicago Sun-Times has absurdly determined that healthcare is a […]

Trial Lawyers Poised to Sue Society Into Stone Age

Posted on December 28, 2009 by Dave Blount

Moonbats had hoped Copenhagen would mean economically crippling Western Civilization. Instead, they had to settle for stealing $billions upon $billions from taxpayers on behalf of Third World dictators. But we’re hardly out of the woods when it comes to the profound threat to society posed by environmental extremism. Our rulers are using the EPA to […]

Muslim Maniac Granted British Asylum After Killing Child

Posted on December 28, 2009 by Dave Blount

It will take more than Muslims repeatedly attempting to blow up airliners full of innocent Westerners to put an end to the multicultural moonbattery we’ve been using to slit our own throats. The latest outrage from Britainistan: An asylum seeker who ran over a girl of 12 and left her to die has won his […]

Obama’s Executive Order That Guts Law Enforcement Ability

Posted on December 22, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

Go and read this: Obama Exempts INTERPOL From Search And Seizure On U.S. Lands Now, if you could, explain to me WHY President Obama would do such an obviously stupid thing. There has to be a reason. What is it?

Would Chicago Gun Rights Case Destroy Federalism?

Posted on December 15, 2009December 15, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

For the Family Research Council, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski warned in a Washington Times op ed that a case on gun rights that will soon come before the Supreme Court could “trigger the unhinging of American culture.” Not only do I think the pair went too far in their claim, I also think they […]

Science, Smoking, Healthcare, All Prove Gov’t Can’t be Trusted

Posted on December 14, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Just sit back and let big daddy government show you the way. The Democrat Party is assuring us that they know better because they have science, educated people, doctors, all that “expertise” in their control and further more they “care” about us all and they want us to know that they’d never do anything to […]

Fenstermaker agonistes

Posted on December 6, 2009December 12, 2009 by Ron Coleman

I’ve been wondering when this part of the Khalid Sheik Mohammed story was going to get a little air ever since I heard them interviewing one of the members of his “dream team,” Scott Fenstermaker, on the radio. Ed Morrissey is very smart, but he’s missing something here about Fenstermaker: He is very, very stupid. […]

Kevin Jennings Safe School Czar GLSEN Suggested Child Porn Reading List for Students

Posted on December 6, 2009December 6, 2009 by John Stephenson

by Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook and Stop the ACLU: Kevin Jennings, Barack Obama’s failed “safe school czar” has a recommended reading list for children of all ages. What has been revealed is sick and perverted, and until you read this, you simply cannot image what Jennings recommends as appropriate for school children in this country. […]

Bringing new meaning to sleazy

Posted on November 29, 2009November 29, 2009 by Ron Coleman

This advertising campaign is, well, bad. Very, very bad. There is a certain irony, though, you know. The defense representation being offered here is in fact completely legitimate — n0t only to sleazeballs, slime and creeps, who are constitutionally entitled to their defense (just not by me), but to people involved in all sorts of […]

Role of ACLU Decisive in Moving KSM Trial to New York

Posted on November 29, 2009November 29, 2009 by John Stephenson

Originally written for PJM: Crossposted from STACLU: Eric Holder called his decision to try the suspected plotters of 9/11 in New York City “the toughest decision I’ve had to make as attorney general.” It was unarguably the most controversial one. In my opinion, it was also the stupidest one. The decision has rightly received plenty […]

KSM Show Trial Script Has Been Written

Posted on November 18, 2009 by Dave Blount

The plan for helping Khalid Sheikh Mohammed complete the 9/11 terror atrocities is all mapped out. First the Obamination Administration postures as morally righteous in contrast to George Bush, against whom Chairman Zero continues to campaign, despite W last having run for office in 2004. Then KSM is granted a soapbox from which to denounce […]

Racism Imposed From the Bench

Posted on November 16, 2009 by Dave Blount

So much for people being judged by the content of their character. Our president was chosen primarily for his skin color; U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle in Louisiana has ruled that the same should hold true for school board members: A federal judge ordered the Tangipahoa Parish School Board this week to hire qualified […]

The Grey Lady Gets It Wrong – Again

Posted on November 15, 2009 by McQ

Editorializing yesterday, the New York Times says: Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. took a bold and principled step on Friday toward repairing the damage wrought by former President George W. Bush with his decision to discard the nation’s well-established systems of civilian and military justice in the treatment of detainees captured in antiterrorist operations. From […]

ACLU pops corks with Al Qaeda as Obamanable Admin gives “shout out” KSM

Posted on November 14, 2009 by John Stephenson

Written by Greg Scott; crossposted from STACLU: Much has been written over the past 24 hours that does well to explain why the Obama Regime’s despicable decision to bestow unprecedented constitutional protections on those whose only connection to America is that they have directed the incineration of thousands of our innocent countrymen or worked not […]
