Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind. ~ Gen. William Westmoreland What luck for the rulers that men do not think. ~ Adolf Hitler In a recent commencement address, President Obama declared that "information becomes a distraction, a diversion" which puts "pressure on our country and on our democracy." Technological innovations – including the Internet – produces a "24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of arguments, some of which don’t always rank that high on the truth meter." He added that "with so many voices clamoring for attention on blogs, and on cable, on talk radio, it can be ...

Since word broke that President Obama would nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, the progressive community has been struggling to determine whether the choice lives up to the left's expectations for a Democratic nominee. Kagan's scant record on the issues she will confront as a justice is a huge concern for liberals who fear she may abandon a progressive agenda in favor of moving toward the center -- just as some liberals claim the president himself has done. "Nothing is a better fit for this White House than a blank slate, institution-loyal, seemingly principle-free careerist who spent the last 15 months as the Obama administration's lawyer ...

Terminally Stupid People Have Always Been With Us If you shake your head and roll your eyes at the nonsense coming out of the Teabagger followers of Sarah “Africa is a country” Palin and other intellectual giants like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh ... If you have thoughts of moving abroad after the latest silly lies and fantasies like “Obama the Marxist” and “Obama the antichrist” ... If you share Noam Chomsky’s feeling: "I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime” ... keep in mind that the right wing has long been at least as stupid and as mean-spirited. Consider some of the behavior of the same types for half a century ...

May 1948; How Russian And Polish Jews Wiped Out Palestine

Memory is the power which Zionist Jews cannot destroy. In memory of the Palestinian babies, children, women and men slaughtered mercilessly by Zionist Jews like these days 62 years ago. Each year on May 15th, Palestinians commemorate the war crimes committed by East European Jews and ask the same question: how did the so-called “Holocaust survivors” bring themselves to murder pregnant women, babies and others, put explosives in crowded Palestinian markets in the Palestinians towns, Haifa, Jafa, and Jerusalem, at schools and in orphanages and terrorize and expel a whole nation? Do Zionist Jews have hearts like other human beings, and if so how could they allow themselves to murder ...

In 2007 Presidential hopeful Barack Obama said, "[Riots] happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. Despair takes hold and young people all across this country look at the way the world is and believe that things are never going to get any better." It is highly unlikely that Obama understood how this statement – made in condemnation of the Bush administration’s handling of the Katrina disaster – would again be relevant under his tenure, alluding to a wholly different, much larger, more diverse and powerful demographic. If there is anyone left out there who doesn’t grasp the reasons behind the mounting intensity of political conflict in ...

May 10, 2010 John Mehauf II I'M MOVING TO MEXICO The President White House - Oral Office 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama: I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I ...
Wally Hickel and Sarah Palin's Betrayal [Full Thread]

Wally Hickel and Sarah Palin's Betrayal The death of Walter J. "Wally" Hickel (1919-2010) in Anchorage this past Friday marks the end of a remarkable era, not only in Alaska, but throughout the entire United States. The two-time Governor of the Last Frontier (elected once as a Republican in the 1960s, the second time as an Independent in 1990) and former U.S. Secretary of the Interior under Richard Nixon was a larger than life figure, a legend in his own time, whose driving ambitions and relentless personal energy helped to both shape and define Alaska's 50 years of statehood. He had arrived in Anchorage in 1940 with 37 cents in his pocket, and it proved to be all ...
FCC Lets Hollywood Turn Off Your Output Jacks

Hollywood will soon have the power to remotely disable the analog outputs on your set-top box, under a decision by federal regulators on Friday intended to prevent home recording of new movie releases.
The move by the Federal Communications Commission grants cable and satellite providers the power to block consumers from viewing just-released movies in an analog format through a process known as Selectable Output Control. Hollywood requested SOC powers as a condition of allowing providers for the first time to release movies to their in-home customers while the film is in theaters.
The Motion Picture Association of America said its member studios would not authorize the early movie ...

"For us, terrorism remains the great evil of our time, and the war against this evil, our generation's great cause. . . . There is no middle way for Americans: it is victory or holocaust." -Richard Perle, co-author, An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror, 2004 Note the small "h" on the word "holocaust" from the book co-authored by Bush White House advisor Richard Perle, one of the most influential instigators of the war in Iraq. It suggests that to Perle and his ideological allies, the Holocaust was not a singular event, but rather the first of other potential holocausts that must be prevented. As I detail in Shadow Elite, Perle is the linchpin of ...

Ever wonder what a world run by tea-partiers might look like? To get an idea, consider Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's new attorney general, a self professed lover of the tea party movement and perfect example of why prosecutors with a political agenda are so scary. Since assuming office in January Cuccinelli has been on a freakish non-stop crusade to enforce a moral order common to both the Tea Party and the Taliban.
In his few short months in office Cuccinelli has used the power of the state to try to rescind anti-discrimination policies for gays and lesbians, approved a new policy allowing sectarian prayer by police chaplains at public events, and even tried to cover up the bare-breast of ...
To replace John Paul Stevens, an atheist

To replace John Paul Stevens, an atheist It's something Thomas Jefferson might have done: nominate a nonbeliever to the Supreme Court As President Obama considers nominees to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, a debate bubbles as to whether religion should play a role in his choice. This is a no-brainer. The religious views of the next justice of the high court must absolutely be a decisive factor. Though the court without Stevens will be left with six Catholics and two Jews, the open seat should not go to either domination. Nor should it go to a Presbyterian, a Lutheran, a Methodist, a Muslim or even a Zoroastrian. If it did, that would make nine people who ...
Through oil-fouled water, big government looks better and better

There is something exquisite about the moment when a conservative decides he needs more government in his life. About 10:30 Monday morning, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), an ardent foe of big government, posted a blog item on his campaign Web site about the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "I strongly believe BP is spread too thin," he wrote. The poor dears. He thinks it would be a better arrangement if "federal and state officials" would do the dirty work of "protecting and cleaning up the coast" instead of BP. About an hour later came word from the Pentagon that Alabama, Florida and Mississippi -- all three governed by men who once considered themselves ...
Wake up, America: Democrats aren’t Democrats Anymore, They’re Communists

And the so-called “moderate Democrats” are merely socialists. It wasn’t so long ago that much loved Democrat President John F. Kennedy told the nation in his inaugural address, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”, implying a sense of self sacrifice was needed by all Americans to keep the torch of freedom burning bright in a world filled with tyranny. An idea most could relate to regardless of political affiliation. But times have changed and modern liberal philosophy has become almost unrecognizable to previous generations. It can be more accurately described as: “Forget personal sacrifice, keep sitting on ...
Should Supporters Of Abortion Lose Their Citizenship

Connecticut's laughingstock Senator Lieberman says that terrorist suspects shouldn't be allowed to keep their U.S. Citizenship. Lets look at this closer. Lets look at the terrorist practice of abortion. It murders many millions of children in this country every year. Do murderers of babies deserve citizenship? If Liebermans idea goes through it should include people who give material support to abortionists. They would lose their citizenship and all the rights that come with that. Afterall what is worse 3000 dead in the World Trade Center or millions of dead innocent babies. Think about it. It would solve so many problems. The terrorist organization known as the democratic party would no ...
Sarah Palin on the Gulf Spill: Prayer and the Invisible Hand Will Deliver Us From Eco-Disaster [Full Thread]

The Gulf disaster proves, at a minimum, that Sarah Palin's mindless slogans like "Drill Baby Drill" are not enough to make good energy or environmental policy.
A video by Americans for America PAC, which I co-direct, tries to make that case as simply as possible, juxtaposing Palin's chanting tea party hordes with a few images from the Gulf.
And yet, even in the face of the greatest disaster the Gulf has ever seen, Palin still refuses to admit any error or nuance. Malia Litman noted Sarah Palin's reaction to the Gulf Disaster here in HuffPost yesterday. Here was her tweet from Friday:
"Having worked/lived thru Exxon oil spill,my family&I understand Gulf residents' fears. Our ...

Jonah Goldberg's recent comments in the LA Times on the Tea Party gathering in Cincinnati focus on an important fact about this "movement," the fiscal fury toward both Obama and Bush over deficits. If we're seeing a "delayed backlash" against Bush in the rants and ravings of these "patriots," praise the Lord.
But there's something disturbing about their monomania over taxes and government power. They take their name from angry citizens who challenged plutocratic privilege at the nation's inception. But they reside in a different galaxy from them. Are they the products of the textbook-poor school system the Obama team is now chartering out of existence for failing to educate? The cream of ...

In the absence of any real border enforcement by Fedzilla and after the emergency of the recent murder of rancher Robert Krentz, Arizonans rightfully took matters into their own hands and passed a law allowing Arizona cops to demand immigration papers from people they stop. Good for Arizona. Other states, especially border states, should follow its lead. In short, Arizona's new law makes it a crime to be in Arizona illegally. It's 2010 - Good morning, America! Those people who can't produce documentation proving they are in the country legally can be jailed up to six months and fined $2,500. Of course, the pro-illegal-immigration crowd is going berserk that Arizona has done ...

Israel's Fear And Loathing Of Obama

Israel's alarm at the deterioration in its relations with the US is palpable. In Jerusalem recently, even a liberal commentator told me: "Barack Obama is a disaster for Israel. I don't think the general public realise just how much of a disaster he is." Government officials are more careful - but only a bit. Danny Ayalon, the deputy Israeli foreign minister, says that it would be a "grave mistake" for America to present its own Middle East peace plan, an idea that the US president's people are known to be considering. Listening to all this, I could not help thinking back to the early stages of the Northern Irish peace negotiations. In part, this is because ...
Arizona's Un-American Immigration Law: Why aren't anti-ObamaCare conservatives outraged by this instrusive move?

If universal health coverage was part of the longstanding liberal agenda to implement a European-style welfare state in America, Arizona's tough new anti-immigrant law represents the conservative agenda to install a European-style surveillance state. Indeed, the very same conservatives who could not find words strong enough to condemn the Europeanization of America under ObamaCare are now greeting the Arizona law--which will require residents to prove their lawful status to authorities on demand-- with a cheerful smile and a shrug. The two efforts together will nix any notion of American exceptionalism--the idea that America has a special relationship with Lady Liberty that no other ...
Palin Trying To Make 'Fascism Fashionable,' 'Gets Away With It'

Outspoken Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) criticized Sarah Palin, Chief Justice John Roberts and the Tea Party on Bill Maher's HBO show. Grayson compared tea partiers to a character in the movie "Nemo" who can't remember anything that happened more than a year ago. He said former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is trying to make "fascism fashionable." And he mocked Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy for being out of touch with technology. During a recent case before the high court, Kennedy asked what would happen if a text message was sent to someone who was sending a text at that same moment. Roberts asked what was the difference between an e-mail and a pager. Some ...

I got into an e-mail conversation recently with a former CIA officer and ex-Marine, who, in horror at the Obama administration, went into a Tea Partyist fit denouncing the “communists, socialists, wealth redistribution folks, Democrats in Congress.” This was not his usual lucid style (he has helped me as a source on several stories), and he seemed to have momentarily lost his mind in considering the matter, or, at least, that part of the mind wherein a cold assessment of facts might operate. I wrote him back: “Where are these communist/socialist/wealth-redistribution folks? I see none of their ilk anywhere in Congress.” He never replied. Perhaps that’s because ...
