With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

Recently, I got an email from my old friend, C., with a link to an article at CNN. The article was, “High Court To Decide If War Memorial Violates the Constitution.” It being Sunday and all, I thought this might be a good time to discuss this. If you are unfamiliar with [...]

That would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking out about violence against girls and women at the U.N. After the ad nauseum speeches of President Obama, this is an incredibly refreshing change, even though the subject is intense, to say the least. Still, this one has substance, and isn’t “just words.” [...]

Camille Paglia’s article in Salon, Too late for Obama to turn it around? is a scathing assessment which drips disappointment and dare I say it, a sense of betrayal. Most surprising is that eight months after Obama’s inauguration, this accomplished writer has arrived at the same place most of us were 18 months ago [...]

There seems to be some confusion over whose meetings these town halls are. Silly me, I thought they were held for the constituents of the particular representative or senator holding them. Evidently, I was wrong, at least according to this organizer for HCAN at the town hall held by Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in [...]

Rep. Carol Shea-Porter of NH went from being a citizen who protested at Town Halls, who was removed from a George Bush event, and disrupted her former congressperson’s town halls, to someone who has a constituent removed for asking a simple question. Yes, in just four years, Rep. Shea-Porter has done a complete 180. [...]

After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

Not us, apparently, if Congress has its way. Believe it or not, some people are actually going through these proposed health care bills. Not many of our elected officials, mind you, but SOME people are. Thank heavens, since you won’t believe some of the more egregious proposals contained in it (specifically, H.R. [...]

Wow, have I ever been laboring under a false impression! I thought, from what the Constitution (and Bill of Rights) contained, that US citizens have the right to assemble, and the right to free speech. Oh, and that our representatives worked for US, and not the other way around.
Was I ever [...]

I just happened to catch this Tuesday morning, and thought it raised some interesting questions on the issue of health care reform:
So, why isn’t this man helping to shape policy? He sounds pretty smart to me.

At my most recent post about Secretary Clinton providing full benefits to the GLBT Diplomat Corp, faithful No Quarter reader, Mountaires, had a comment which included the following video from the Rachel Maddow Show.

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to [...]

We have been exposed to an education lately on International Law and the Rule of Law. Everyone has been following the torture memos and some of us have a quaint understanding of how the U.S. signing the treaty at the Geneva Convention forcibly influenced laws that we were required, by the treaty, to add [...]

Some countries never acknowledge their crimes. It has been 95 years since the Turkish genocide against its Armenian population, but the Turkish government will not confess to any role in crimes that were committed. The Japanese have never admitted the terrible crimes committed throughout Northeast and Southeast Asia during World War II. And Israel has [...]

In a brilliant rebuttal to coordinated attacks from the far left, this Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Tax Day Becomes Protest Day - How the tea parties could change American politics.” (related stories) nails the true genesis of today’s protests:
Today American taxpayers in more than 300 locations in all 50 states will hold rallies — dubbed [...]

(Susan’s April 13th Note: I AM PISSED OFF. This essay is bumped up because, dammit, I need to restore my FOCUS on the ELEPHANTS in the room!

You’ve read Philip Giraldi’s and my piece, “Goodbye, Bill of Rights,” with a very unhappy Keith Olbermann interviewing a shocked Howard Fineman. Now, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley puts it even more bluntly:
Honestly, I’m getting tired of saying, “We told you so.” There are people who can be so easily deluded by a [...]

Or just Obama’s pick for the legal adviser to the State Department? Harold Koh, former dean of Yale Law School, seems to think that is A-Okay in the US of A. Oh, how I wish I was kidding. This article, “Koh, No” goes into more detail about Obama’s pick. And it [...]
