NRO: General Recklessness

on Mon 30 Jun 2008 12:56 PM EDT
"I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,” former NATO Commander Wesley Clark told Face the Nation on Sunday. “In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk.” The Hillary-Clinton-turned-Barack-Obama-supporter continued: “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions." More>>>
The Meaning of the DC Gun Case Decision
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 12:27 PM EDT
The Supreme Court's decision striking down Washington, D.C.’s restrictive gun ban represented an individual interpretation of the Second Amendment, affirming each American’s right to keep and bear arms (with some restrictions)—as opposed to a collectivist interpretation giving that privilege only to the state. However, in the media buzz (and conservative rejoicing) over the opinion, it should be not overlooked that many questions remain unanswered. More>>>
Politico: Some on left target McCain's war record
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 11:09 AM EDT
But farther to the left—and among some of McCain's conservative enemies as well—harsher attacks are circulating. Critics have accused McCain of war crimes for bombing targets in Hanoi in the 1960s. Sunday, a widely read liberal blog accused McCain of "disloyalty" during his captivity in Vietnam for his coerced participation in propaganda films and interviews after he’d been tortured. If the best the the morally bankrupt Neo-coM Left can come up with is to attack McCain for being tortured and brutalized for being a Patriot, then I think this race is over. These attacks smack of desperation. - Riley More>>>

North Korea blew up the cooling tower at its Yongbyon nuclear plant the other day. This was in response to a Bush administration diplomatic initiative which offered to remove the DPRK from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Like Bryan Preston, I’ve been waiting for John Bolton’s reaction to the deal. It came out tonight in the Wall Street Journal. Short version: he’s not happy. More>>>
Obamamaniacs attempting to shut down anti-Obama websites?
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 08:55 AM EDT
It looks like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful enough to silence his opponents like that! More>>> One of the websites in question: "On Wednesday night, June 25, Blogger received reports that my blog was a spam blog. Blogger then blocked my ability to create new posts until they completed their review. The blocking of my blog, coincided with the blocking of at least 6 other blogs, all part of the Just Say No Deal Coalition." More>>>

San Francisco juvenile probation officials - citing the city's immigrant sanctuary status - are protecting Honduran youths caught dealing crack cocaine from possible federal deportation and have given some offenders a city-paid flight home with carte blanche to return. The city's practices recently prompted a federal criminal investigation into whether San Francisco has been systematically circumventing U.S. immigration law, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

Haditha cases continue to unravel

on Sun 29 Jun 2008 09:04 PM EDT
Battered by six consecutive exonerations of Marines accused in a highly publicized case, military prosecutors face new difficulties in obtaining convictions against the two remaining defendants charged with wrongdoing in the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha. The latest blow came June 17, when a judge ruled that unlawful command influence had irreparably tainted the dereliction-of-duty prosecution against the battalion commander at Haditha, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and that the charges would be dismissed. More>>>
Chávez-linked church decried
by

on Sun 29 Jun 2008 09:01 PM EDT
A church modeled in part after one in Miami but with a ''revolutionary'' spirit that praises Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez is now at the center of a religious and social controversy in Venezuela. Although it has adopted many of the symbols and rites of Roman Catholicism, the new Reform Catholic Venezuelan Church departs from traditional belief in some key ways. For example, reformists consider that ''homosexuality and bisexuality are not sins in and of themselves.'' More>>>

Racial slurs targeting Barack Obama were discovered spray painted tonight on dozens of city vehicles in Orlando. The vandalism happened in a City of Orlando parking lot on the corner of south and orange. Phrases including “Obmama smokes crack” and others phrases with racial slurs were written in blue spray paint on the white city cars and trucks. Other vehicles appeared to have had their gas tanks tampered with. Along with the paint, hundreds of business cards were left on windshields. The cards contain criticism of Obama on one side, and support for Hillary Clinton and her family on the other side. More>>> Saturday, June 28

As the GOP in Congress appears about to be taking an "every man for himself" strategy for the fall elections, Gallup has just given the Republicans another gift (Americans Oppose Income Redistribution to Fix Economy). (Snip) The numbers in this poll are staggering. Overall, Americans are against the core principle behind Barack Obama's domestic economic policy -- income redistribution -- by an astounding 84% to 13%. Republicans oppose it 90%-9%, Independents oppose it 85% to 13%, and even Democrats oppose it 77% to 19%. More>>> Americans Oppose Income Redistribution to Fix Economy More>>>

"It would be generous to say we were stunned," says a Republican House Judiciary Member, describing his response when Congressman and Obama Superdelegate William Delahunt (MA-10) yesterday asked the vice president's chief of staff David Addington about water boarding of terrorists. Addington declined to comment, citing President Bush's refusal to discuss techniques used to attain vital intelligence, and added that another reason not to respond was that Al Qaeda is probably watching. Congressman Delahunt's response: "I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you." More>>> IBD: A Deficit of Decency More>>>

SUPPOSE that a hate organization - say, the Ku Klux Klan - had active members writing A-list movie scripts into which they put Klan messages. Would anyone get huffy if Hollywood declined to offer these folk further employment? The misleading documentary "Trumbo" paints a golden nimbus of holiness around the onetime highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood, Dalton Trumbo, an on-the-record hater of democracy, defender of authoritarian rule and avowed Communist.

"Let me tell you why it's so wrong," said Fagan (D-Taunton). "It's so wrong because in these situations . . . that 6-year-old is going to sit in front of me, or somebody far worse than me and I'm going to rip them apart. I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined. That when they're 8 years old they throw up; when they're 12 years old, they won't sleep. When they're 19 years old they'll have nightmares and they'll never have a relationship with anybody. And that's not because I'm a nice guy. That's because when you're in court, and you're defending somebody's liberty, and you're facing a mandatory sentence of those draconian proportions, you have to do every single thing you can do on behalf of your client. That is your obligation as a trial lawyer." From the Boston Herald, 6/22 Friday, June 27

The Future of Gun Control
by

on Fri 27 Jun 2008 08:47 PM EDT
"The U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision overturning Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban is the biggest gun rights ruling since the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. The Court had not waded into this divisive issue since 1939, when it declared, "We cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear" arms. But on Thursday the Court broke its silence to do just that, ruling for the first time that the Constitution confers an individual right to gun ownership beyond providing for "a well regulated Militia," as the amendment states. The Constitution does not permit "the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home," Justice Antonin Scalia, the court's arch-conservative, wrote in the majority opinion." There's little doubt which side of the issue the author is on - Roland More>>> |
