Yes, yes, more about the whole mosque thing in New York, though this is about a different aspect of it. And that would be our First Amendment right to free speech. Remember how Obama went on and on about the mosque-builders and freedom of religion, as if this had anything whatsoever to do with freedom [...]

I have to say, I did not see this coming. There has been a whole lot of crazy stuff going on in this country, from “Let them eat cake” regular parties in the White House to some guy living at home and using the public library computer getting the Democratic nomination for US Senator in [...]

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.” I can’t help [...]

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 when [...]

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 Skokie, IL:

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. 3200). The title [...]

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 to [...]

A computer program that tells the White House where you have been on the Internet, RADICAL! Note: Wings Under America was a response to Homeland Security’s Right Wing Extremism Alert discussed by Susan here and here. If you really want to get the feel of a Klan rally you should don a sheet and [...]

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 — [...]

(Bumped up from this morning. And don’t miss the Boston Tea Party “Tax Day” plans just below this post. ALSO: Here’s another attack via HuffyPoop, “Teabagging: Redux Anti-Intellectualism.” Get that, you redneck hooligans?) Hey, all you Tax Day people. You’re not part of some ‘winger cabal, are you? You’re not into some dangerous, extremist rightwing [...]

(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! While it’s fascinating to debate the pirate crisis, it is foremost VITAL to focus on the dangerous stories such as Obama’s power-hungry expansion of executive authority, known in [...]

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 speech, [...]

Has been nabbed – and not a moment too soon,I might add – the question arises of what will happen to the man who put a halt to Blagojevich’s corrupt ways: Patrick Fitzgerald. Now, some of us were wondering what the hell was taking him so long while Tony Rezko was singing like a canary [...]

I have NO idea as to the origin of these bumper stickers, but they are good! Well, I can certainly agree with that – that’s the only reason I am willing to consider McCain: Obama. I could get rich selling this one. Aw, hell – any one of them…
