Quote:

"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute."

Libya Airstrikes

Mar 26, 2011 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Jim Emerson, staff writer

  Agree or disagree with the proposed no-fly zone over Libya, in order to make the no-fly zone safe you must prevent the enemy from endangering friendly aircraft. The purpose of the launch of Odyssey Dawn strikes is to degrade the Qadhafi regime's ability to resist future allied air operations.

Operation Odyssey Dawn

Odyssey Dawn is a UN sanctioned operation to protect Libyan civilians from the murderous onslaught of pro Qadhafi forces. The mission was designed to curtail any military related operations against Libyan civilians. President Obama committed U.S air assets in the initial operations with a strategic plan to pass the operations to a European controlled operation.

Airstrikes

The initial air and guided missile strike operations in Libya are designed to destroy Qadhafi's Air Defenses. The primary targets were airfields and fixed anti-aircraft missile (SAM) batteries.  The second strikes were aimed at disrupting Command and Control Communications networks and military operations against opposition forces in Benghazi. Future Air ... Continue Reading:Libya Airstrikes

Libya: What's in it for the US

Do-gooders in a land with no good guys
By MARK STEYN

That's great news. Who doesn't enjoy volunteering other people? The Arab League, for reasons best known to itself, decided that Col. Gadhafi had outlived his sell-by date. Granted that the region's squalid polities haven't had a decent military commander since King Hussein fired General Sir John Glubb half-a-century back, how difficult could it be even for Arab armies to knock off a psychotic transvestite guarded by Austin Powers fembots? But no: Instead, the Arab League decided to volunteer the U.S. military.

Likewise, the French and the British. Libya's special forces are trained by Britain's SAS. Four years ago, President Sarkozy hosted a state visit for Col. Gadhafi, his personal security detail of 30 virgins, his favorite camel and a 400-strong entourage that helped pitch his tent in the heart of Paris. Given that London and Paris have the third- and fourth-biggest military budgets on the...

Wilders; The Failure of Multiculturalism and How to Turn the Tide

By Jerry Gordon, Iconoclast

Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party (PVV)  in the Hague parliament  gave a speech in Rome last night at the Magna Carta Foundation-an Italian conservative think tank. The topic was timely, "The Failure of Multiculturalism and How to Turn the Tide".  The full text of his speech can be found on The Freedom Party (PVV) website.

Here are some excerpts that indicate the rising public approbation  of the twin evils of Multiculturalism and  islamization  and what Wilders suggests to combat it.

On the dangers of multiculturalism:

I am here today to talk about multiculturalism. This term has a number of different meanings. I use the term to refer to a specific political ideology. It advocates that all cultures are equal. If they are equal it follows that the state is not allowed to promote any specific cultural values as central and dominant. In other words: multiculturalism holds that the state should not promote a

There's no blaming Bush for Libya

By Sultan Knish

Obama's Libyan adventure has thrown a confusing wrench into the gears of the liberal reelection machine. Up until then it had been a fairly straightforward campaign, with the media touting an imaginary economic recovery, blaming a Republican congress for obstructionism, flirting with a government shutdown and organizing a labor pushback against economic reforms. Maybe taking some credit for Cairo. Simple enough. But Libya complicates things.

The Nutroots already weren't too happy about Iraq and Afghanistan, or Gitmo or the return of military trials. The left's anti-war energy had already completely dissipated. But they could always close their eyes and blame Bush. But there's no blaming Bush for Libya. For the war without congressional approval or a complete lack of planning, no exit strategy and unclear objectives. This is your War(TM) on Obama(TM).

Still wars boost the White House occupant's numbers... at least temporarily....

"When Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria experienced their Islamist revolutions, I clearly stated that the United States under my administration would respect Arab efforts at self-determination. Never again would the Western world take up the cause of colonialism as a screen for trying to enforce our values on those who do not want them. I pledged that we would respect a Muslim perspective on democracy that differed radically from our own.

What is driving the bombing of Libya?

By Ted Belman

The administration and the UN justified the imposition of a no-fly zone on Libya as an humanitarian intervention. They knew full well that an innocuous sounding "no-fly zone" would start with a major boming campaign. McCain, Lieberman and Graham days before the bombing started were urging military intervention to avoid "a horrible blood bath". Just last night on Fox News McCain was arguing that the casualties were over 10,000 and would go higher.

Dennis Ross went so far as to say on behalf of the administration,

"We were looking at 'Srebrenica on steroids' -the real or imminent possibility that up to a 100,000 people could be massacred, and everyone would blame us for it,"

A few years ago I posted many articles on the truth about the bombing of Serbia in which it was said that Clinton met with Izetbegovic, the Muslim leader and was asked to intervene. Clinton said that if there were 5000 casualties, he could intervene. So...

The Cheonan: a Retrospective Assessment

RedState Morning Briefing

For March 28, 2011

1. RedState: A "Nerve Center" of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

Well, this will make you feel good.

The kids over at Media Matters are gearing up to lose their 501(c)(3) status I'm guessing as they go headlong into a new mission to destroy Fox News and Newscorp.

Along the way, the Politico tells us Media Matters has given up stalking everyone except Fox and a handful of conservative websites it considers the "nerve center" of the vast right wing conspiracy.

RedState is one of those websites. Truth be told, fundraising seems to be the whole purpose behind this Politico article. Couple it with the fawning piece about the Media Matters guerilla pundit training program where they are trying to get people on Fox News and you have the makings of a "we need money" PR blitz with the help of Media Matters friends in the press.

I think we should fundraise off this news!

It is rather funny. In the Politico, the story is about Media Matters making it their new mission to destroy Fox. In the Washington Post, the story is about how Media Matters is training lefty pundits to get on Fox.

But the key takeaway is that we now know that by being a RedState user you are seen as part of the nerve center of the vast right wing conspiracy. Consequently, you, as part of the community, have an obligation to be on your A-game.

I hope you will consider beefing up your constitutional skills by participating in Hillsdale College's free online town hall on April 16, 2011, at 10:00 a.m.

You'll learn how our economic liberty has diminished and how we can get it back under the U.S. Constitution.

You can watch all or part of it. But most importantly, you can make sure what you believe. You really have no excuse given how easy Hillsdale College is making it.

2. Defense Secretary: No National Interests In Libya. Hillary Clinton: Yeah, But Libya Is The Same As 9/11

I don't watch the Sunday talk shows because rarely is anything of substance discussed or revealed on them. I suppose fifteen years ago they set the tone for the upcoming week's media coverage, but today they are a superfluous exercise that has little value beyond providing a subsidy to the hair spray industry.

Sometimes, though, an interview comes along that is so disastrous that it has to be commented upon. Today's joint appearance on Meet the Press by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was just one of those occurrences.

3. US Allies With Al Qaeda In Libya

As we've noted over the past weeks, we know precious little about the alleged "rebels" on whose behalf we've intervened in Libya.

Now a little more information is available.

"In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited "around 25? men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya"."

This is probably only a shock in the office of Samantha Power. Throughout the Iraq war Libya was the second leading source of foreign fighters and suicide bombers. That they should be driving the train on the insurrection in Libya should be unsurprising to anyone allowed to develop national policy. Should be, but apparently the Obama Administration's foreign policy - or domestic policy for that matter - is nothing more than a series of unpleasant surprises.

4. Arming Libyan Rebels

The Libyan operation would have nearly a comic opera quality were it not for the fact that people are needlessly getting killed because of the fecklessness of the Obama Administration. As we pointed out yesterday, our motive for going into Libya has absolutely nothing to do with establishing a less repressive regime, the rebels are happily engaged in the slaughter of their enemies and carrying on a campaign of ethnic cleansing to force black Africans from Libya, than with one particular twit, Samantha Power, trying to prove a particular academic version of BushLiedTM.

5. Proud DNC Affiliate, Reuters Describes The Libyan Coalition

"Obama is committed to partnering with other countries rather than going it alone as did his predecessor George W. Bush, which both broadens and complicates the decision-making process."

- Inner Party Truth-Organ, Reuters. (HT:New York Times)

Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic read this purgative and quickly needed a lavatory in which to up-chuck. His nausea is understandable. His restraint in castigating such rampant dishonesty in the service of such a small and petty POTUS, was not as commendable as he thinks. This fraudulent garbage deserved a stronger, more virile rebuke. Goldberg offered the following "suggestion" to the proud media organ of The Democratic National Committee known as Reuters.

6. The Chicken & The Egg: London unions school Madison mobs on anarchy

Today, England's trade unions and their friends on the Left had a massive demonstration on the streets of London. It devolved into 'madness' as anarchists hijacked the demonstration, breaking in windows, assaulting police, and generally causing mayhem. Union leaders were not displeased.

7. Wisconsin GOP Investigates Illegal Political Activity, Makes the Left Angry

If there is a key difference between conservatives and liberals it is their view on the rule of law. Speaking in broad terms liberals believe that a person is not accountable for their actions if their cause is just or if they have the "right" background or the "right" politics. So not a peep is heard about the clown car that is the Ninth Circus but the left goes crazy about the benign appearances of Justices Scalia and Alito. Cass Sustein and Goodwin Liu can hold legal opinions that not only put them outside the mainstream of American jurisprudence but also on the fringe of American society and no one says boo. John Yoo, on the other hand, was excoriated for writing an opinion attempting to define "torture." Union thugs, the New Black Panther Party, and anti-globalization crazies should not be prosecuted. Tea parties, on the other hand, are dog whistle calls for anti-government violence and should be suppressed.

Probably no where is this attitude more on display than in academia. Case in point is the case of University of Wisconsin professor William Cronon, recently elected president of the American Historical Association and Democrat party hack.

What's a Dad to do?

Posted on March 25, 2011 

So imagine you ask your high school daughter how school was today and she tells you about the teacher in health class making the following statements:

"Why are we following a Constitution that was drawn up 400 years ago by a bunch of rich, old white guys?"

"The Second Amendment has no place in today's society....Societies are always safer when the citizens do not have the right to bear arms."

"Socialized medicine provides better care for people....America just hasn't caught on yet."

"People are worried about how we are going to pay for this Health Care bill...We're just going to tax the rich; they don't need all that money anyhow."

"Doctors are in the business of keeping you sick...that's how they make their money."


At a minimum, you would want the teacher to stop.
You may want the principal to "have a word" with him.
This is a no-brainer, right?

Imagine this takes two years and no one pays any attention.
What do you do? Take it to the school board.
They tell you to sit down and shut up.

So you follow the rules and the board is confused as to how to deal with a parent talking about his child in one of their schools.

Thinking about running for a school board now?

Has Obama made a deal with Iran?

The Obama Administration Calls for More Study of Iran's Human Rights Abuses
 
by Anne Bayefsky, Fox News.

The Obama administration's U.N.-centered foreign policy reached new heights of incredulity today with the U.N. Human Rights Council adoption of a resolution on Iran. With the Obama team in Geneva at the center of it, the resolution calls for more study of the Iranian human rights record and the submission of a report one year from now.

Instead of blasting the ridiculous excuse for delaying serious action against a notorious regime currently engaged in heinous violations of human rights, the Obama administration actually masterminded the resolution.

Immediately following the resolution's adoption, U.S.-U.N. Ambassador to Geneva Eileen Donahoe held a news conference in which she declared "what we have just witnessed is a seminal moment for this body - the Human Rights Council - with the establishment of a Special Rapporteur on the human...

Riots in Syria

By Mordechai Kedar, The Center for the Study of Middle East and Islam

Above the tomb of Hafez al-Assad in the Alawi town of Qardaha is a sign with a verse from the Koran: "Obey Allah, Obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you." "Those charged with authority" refers to the acting rulers, even if they do not rule by the grace of Islam. Not for naught was this verse chosen, as it is meant to lend Islamic justification even to a government of infidels. Since 1966, the Syrian regime has been in the hands of the small Alawi minority, considered by Islam to be infidels; its sons are not entitled to rule and, being idol worshippers, according to Islamic canon they do not even have the right to live.

Between 1976 and 1982, Islamic elements attempted to end Alawi rule, but the regime liquidated fifty thousand of them: twenty thousand in the Tadmor prison and another thirty thousand in Hama , which was subjected to heavy bombing that totally destroyed sections of...

To: Friends & Supporters

From: Gary L. Bauer


Egypt Falling To The Islamofascists

We warned about this when the crisis first erupted. We wondered whether the administration had any plan to make sure democratic forces prevailed. We criticized the media for staying in one place and ignoring what was happening in the rest of the country. Now, just eight weeks later, even the New York Times admits that the Muslim Brotherhood is calling the shots in Egypt.

In a front page story today, the Times reports: "The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group once banned by the state, is at the forefront, transformed into a tacit partner with the military government that many fear will thwart fundamental changes. It is also clear that the young, educated secular activists who initially propelled the non-ideological revolution are no longer the driving political force..."

It may very well be that the democracy movement in Egypt peaked the moment that 200 men sexually assaulted CBS reporter Lara Logan, while yelling "Jew, Jew, Jew," as she covered the celebration in Tahrir Square that followed Hosni Mubarak's decision to step down.

The problem with this whole "democratization movement" is that we are dealing with people who are rooted in Islamic extremism. Don't take my word for it. Read what some Egyptian women had to endure during the demonstrations in Tahrir Square.

Egypt should serve as a cautionary tale for those in the West who think that our default position should be to support the revolutionaries in the Middle East.

The Obama Administration was eager to call on Mubarak to step down, despite obvious concerns that the Muslim Brotherhood could take over. We know Al Qaeda supports the uprising against Qadhafi. But as we saw in Gaza and now in Egypt, democracy does not always mean freedom.

Meanwhile, the boil that needs to be lanced in the Middle East is Iran. Yet, when protests took place there, Obama couldn't be bothered to speak up. And what is really disturbing, as you will read next, is that we are using our foreign policy failures as an excuse to force more concessions from Israel.


U.S. Warns Israel About Populism

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates arrived in Israel yesterday, bringing advice for the Israeli government from Barack Obama. His visit comes at a difficult time for Israel. In recent weeks, an Israeli family was brutally murdered in their beds by Palestinian thugs, rocket barrages were fired into Israel from Hamas-controlled Gaza, and a terrorist bomb exploded at a Jerusalem bus station.

A senior U.S. defense official briefed reporters ahead of the trip to explain exactly what wisdom Obama wants Gates to share with Israel. According to the official, who insisted on anonymity, Gates will tell Israeli leaders that they "have a very deep strategic interest in getting out in front of the wave of populism that's sweeping" the Middle East.

The U.S. official added, "There's some (in Israel) who...are kind of in a little bit of a defense crouch and a risk adverse posture as it related to the Middle East peace... I think our administration sees things a little differently."

The Obama Administration plumbs new depths of stupidity daily. "Populists" did not sever the head of the Israeli baby who was killed with her family a few weeks ago. "Populists" aren't lobbing rockets into Israeli cities and blowing up Israelis as they wait for a bus.

These things are done by the Islamists in Hamas, Hezbollah and their sympathizers who have dedicated themselves to the destruction of Israel. They are encouraged by regimes like the one in Iran whose leaders passionately want a second Holocaust. Just how is Israel supposed to get "out in front" of that wave?

A real populist uprising in Gaza and Judea/Samaria would be a wonderful thing. Such an uprising would target not Israel, but Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Authority, which have all shown, in spite of billions of our foreign aid dollars, incapable of creating jobs, educating their people or doing anything that normal governments are expected to do. The only things Palestinian leaders effectively produce are hatred for Jews and Christians and suicide bombers.

If I were Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, I would be tempted to put Secretary Gates back on his plane, and tell him to deliver his lectures about taking risks for peace somewhere else.


"The Professor's War"

As you know, I lack enthusiasm for this Libyan whatever is. And I'm not being sarcastic. Even liberal reporters are now mocking the administration's lack of specificity.

In today's Washington Post Karen Tumulty writes, "Of all the decisions that a president must make, none calls for more clarity than the one to go to war. Thus far, President Obama's move to join other nations in intervening militarily in Libya appears to have generated confusion instead... But on even the most basic question -- is this war? -- the White House has strained for an answer."

If it was intended to scare other tyrants in the Middle East or provide some stability, it isn't working. In fact, it seems to be fomenting unrest in Bahrain and other Arab states. If anything, the mission in Libya seems to be demonstrating the weakness of our current commander-in-chief.

For example, why would a U.S. president be so eager to prove that he's not in control? That is the message Obama is sending with his desperate attempts to hand over control of the mission to NATO, even though many NATO members don't want ownership of this endeavor.

Whether you support the mission or not, consider Charles Krauthammer's column today, entitled "The Professor's War." Krauthammer has a theory that explains Obama's behavior:

"The president is obsessed with pretending that we are not running the operation -- a dismaying expression of Obama's view that his country is so tainted by its various sins that it lacks the moral legitimacy to ... what? Save Third World people from massacre? ...

"Never modest about himself, Obama is supremely modest about his country. America should be merely 'one of the partners among many,' he said Monday. ... Even the Clinton administration spoke of America as the indispensable nation. And it remains so."

If your worldview tells you that America is generally not a force for good, and if you believe your mission is to "fundamentally transform" America, then it makes sense that America should not be in the lead.

Fox News reports that thousands of Christians in Ethiopia are fleeing their villages as Muslim mobs are torching churches and homes. Why am I confident that we won't be hearing Secretary of State Clinton or President Obama calling for a no-fly zone or humanitarian mission to protect Ethiopian Christians?


Fighting To Preserve Marriage

Please tune in to Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson on Monday, March 28th and Tuesday, March 29th. I will be a guest on Dr. Dobson's show, along with Tony Perkins, Dr. Ken Hutcherson, Pastor Jim Garlow and Bishop Harry Jackson. Our topic for both days is the fight to preserve traditional marriage.

This is an important battle, my friends. If the Defense of Marriage Act is struck down by the courts, the definition of marriage will be open to any and every interpretation imaginable. As I have often argued, the failure to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman will lead to polygamy and worse.

Every argument that is made in support of men "marrying" other men can and is being made to justify polygamy or the "love" of a father for his adult daughter. You can read more about that here.

Please do not miss Dr. Dobson's show next week. You can find station listings for Family Talk in your area here. Or you can listen live online here.

Dear Liberty Activist,

In the past, I've written of abuses by the TSA, including its belief that you check your 4th Amendment rights the moment you purchase a plane ticket.

The TSA's invasive screening tactics shame passengers into their potentially harmful porno scanners with the horrific thought of being groped by an agent if you refuse.

As it turns out, while conducting tests on the radiation levels of these scanners, a number of them were coming back with higher levels than expected. "It would appear that the emissions are 10 times higher. We understand it as a calculation error," TSA spokesman Sarah Horowitz told Wired.

A "calculation error."  And yet, these are the people we are told are "keeping us safe?"

Nevertheless, without hesitation, the government continues to install these scanners in airports across the country.

If you thought virtual strip searches were a violation of your privacy, just wait until you hear the latest claim from the Department of Homeland Security.

During oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center), the DHS counsel claimed they have authority to "strip search every air traveler. The agency also stated that it believed a mandatory strip search rule could be instituted without any public comment or rulemaking."

Have we given up enough of our liberties yet?

Just when you thought flying couldn't possibly get worse, union bosses are now trying to force union representation on TSA employees with a "vote" that is clearly stacked in the bosses' favor.

In other words, that creepy TSA agent that almost seemed to enjoy feeling up you and your child will now be virtually impossible to fire for inappropriate behavior. 

From now on, security and passenger rights will play a secondary role to the union bosses' demands for "screener's rights."

Remember when House Transportation Committee Chairman John Mica claimed the solution to TSA abuses was for airports to "opt-out" of the TSA?  Well, his "solution" turns out to be nothing more than a distraction to appease angry constituents.  In reality, it rings hollower than Jimmy Hoffa's coffin. 

The "private screeners" are required by law to follow the same screening procedures as the TSA; in other words, even if the airports opt-out, nothing will change except the names and faces.

The only viable solution here is to abolish the TSA.  Since 9/11, blue-shirted, rubber-gloved government agents have not thwarted the major terrorist attempts on our airlines.  In the real world, only alert passengers and flight crews stopped these attacks.

It's time to bring a halt to our government's security theater.  When the government claims to have a monopoly on keeping us safe, the chances of average people slipping into apathy are higher. 

Airlines have a responsibility to keep passengers protected and their planes safe and in the sky.  After the TSA is abolished, we must return the responsibility for security to where it belongs - the private sector.

Please consider chipping in $10 to help Campaign for Liberty continue to spread the message about the abuse of the American people's civil liberties by the TSA.

Before the TSA becomes a protected, public-sector union unlikely to ever be downsized or replaced, the American people must demand swift action to reign in the unaccountable, rogue agency.

In Liberty,


John Tate
President

P.S. C4L must expand its efforts if you and I are to stop the TSA and its assault on civil liberties. If you're able, please chip in just $10 to help my staff and me recruit even more Americans to this fight

WOLF: Loudest Obamacare cheerleader wants out

New York's Rep. Anthony Weiner wants a 'get out of jail free' card

Rep. Anthony Weiner

 

Becoming the most hypocritical politician in America is not an easy goal to achieve, but New York's Rep. Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, is up to the task.

 

Earlier this year, the Obama administration began rewarding its union friends and others with an escape from the clutches of Obamacare. Now one of the most outspoken Obamacare supporters - the man who actually said, "I wrote the bill ... the bill and I are one" wants his own "get out of jail free" card from this abominable law.

NumbersUSA Activists Take Advantage of Constituent Work Week

The House of Representatives held a Constituent Work Week this week, so it's been a bit quiet in Washington. But there's been lots of activity in their home districts.

We began the week with a focus on the 93 freshmen Members of the House. Seventeen freshmen hosted (or are hosting) Town Hall Meetings, and we've already had more than 100 activists attending meetings with more attending this weekend.

Our activists have been in Florida to see Rep. Steve Southerland, in South Carolina to see Reps. Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy, and Mick Mulvaney, in Illinois to see Rep. Randy Hultgren, and Oklahoma to see Rep. James Lankford.

We've also had activists visit Town Hall Meetings in Texas, New York, New Hampshire, and Arizona.

Our primary focus has been to educate the freshmen Members on the impact of high immigration levels on unemployed Americans. We received this report from one of our activists in Illinois:

The very first question asked [to Rep. Hultgren] was 'Do you support E-verify?'. His response was 'Yes'."

This is exactly the kind of interaction we're looking for! Rep. Hultgren was asked to take a position on one of our major issues and now we have him on the record as doing so!

The freshman class wasn't our only focus this week. We've also had activists dropping off Fact Sheets at the district offices of House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy.

There's a major recess over the last two weeks of April, and we'll be planning Local Education opportunities in most Congressional Districts. If you're interested in dropping off fact sheets, attending a Town Hall Meeting, or setting up a meeting with your Congressperson, contact us at stateaction2011@numbersusa.com or districtaction2011@numbersusa.com for more information.

Ariz. Voters Persuade Flake (running for Senate) To Turn Against Amnesty -- At Least For Now 

By Roy Beck, Thursday, March 24, 2011 

Much to the misery of the open-borders lobby, Arizona voters have transformed yet another pro-amnesty champion into a secure-borders-only candidate. Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) stunned his national pro-amnesty allies today in an Arizona Republic interview by saying that he has changed his mind about wanting "comprehensive immigration reform." After just a few weeks as an announced candidate to replace Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) when he retires next year, Flake found that being the best known pro-amnesty Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives was going to be a problem with Arizona voters.

Virginia Gov. McDonnell Accelerates E-Verify Law Through Executive Order 

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell ordered that all executive branch state agencies must use E-Verify to check all new hires beginning June 1, 2011. The state legislature had passed a bill last year that requires state agencies to begin using E-Verify by the end of 2012, but Gov. McDonnell's executive order implements the law 18 months sooner.

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Rep.

Chamber of Commerce Victories in Utah & Ariz. Mean Nothing Compared With Supreme Court's E-Verify Decision That Still Is Pending 

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Regardless of what happens to the new Utah amnesty law and despite Arizona's recent decision not to pass further laws against illegal immigration, the most important decision remains to be made this spring. That would be the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on whether Arizona -- and, thus, any other state, county and city -- can order employers to use E-Verify to screen illegal aliens from jobs. NumbersUSA continues vigil with great anxiety.

Hamilton vs. Jefferson, on Welfare Reform

This column by Susan A. Carleson, CEO of the ACRU and the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) was published  

March 25 on the American Thinker website.

With federal and state budgets exploding, welfare reform is once again on the menu.

Just about everyone agrees that the 1996 welfare reform was a huge success. By 2009, the number of dependent families had dropped by two-thirds, and federal spending for cash welfare assistance remained stable at $16.5 billion a year. But most importantly, the '96 reform gave dignity to millions by breaking the vicious cycle of multi-generational poverty.

Economic Lunacy

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published March 23 on Townhall.com.

Economic lunacy abounds, and often the most learned, including Nobel Laureates, are its primary victims. The most recent example of economic lunacy is found in a Huffington Post article titled "The Silver Lining of Japan's Quake" written by Nathan Gardels, editor of New Perspectives Quarterly, who has also written articles for The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and Washington Post.

Mr. Gardels says, "No one -- least of all someone like myself who has experienced the existential terror of California's regular tremors and knows the big one is coming here next -- would minimize the grief, suffering and disruption caused by Japan's massive earthquake and tsunami. But if one can look past the devastation, there is a silver lining.

America's Accelerating Downward Spiral

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Policy Director for the CCPP Peter Ferrara was published March 23 on The American Spectator website.

For two years now, I have been arguing in this column and elsewhere that President Obama's economic policies were a throwback to the 1970s, and so were going to produce the same result as the 1970s -- the worsening cycles of inflation and recession known as stagflation. With last week's reports regarding the Producer Price Index and the Consumer Price Index, those results are now here.

But these developments are just several further spins in an accelerating downward spiral for America that leaves our traditional prosperity, high standard of living, and national security extremely vulnerable to three looming disasters, at least two of which are likely to happen within the reasonably near future.

Budget Nuclear Option: Shut Down Obama Until the Election

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Policy Director  

for the CCPP Peter Ferrara was published March 21 on PajamasMedia.com.

The House Republican leadership needs to get over their paralyzing fear of a government shutdown, which is based on the liberal media narrative of the politics of the 1995 shutdown. That shutdown eventually transformed annual $200 billion deficits for more than a decade into $560 billion in budget surpluses over four years. That resulted because Clinton caved in to Republican budget cut demands, and even to Republican tax cuts that spurred the economy and long term revenue growth. The shutdown was followed by the first reelection of a Republican House majority in two thirds of a century, with the Republican Senate majority reelected as well.

The Foundation

"[I]f we are to be told by a foreign Power ... what we shall do, and what we shall not do, we have Independence yet to seek, and have contended hitherto for very little." --George Washington

Government & Politics

Limbo in Libya

Commander in chief?

Consistent with his socialist, we-are-all-one agenda, Barack Obama used a non-unanimous 10-vote nod from the United Nations Security Council to justify commencing hostilities against Libya, bypassing Congress, the Constitution, the will of the American public and a couple hundred years' worth of precedents. Since none of these have mattered in the past, why should they now? After all, in the mind of Obama -- or "Our Son, His Excellency" as his erstwhile pal Moammar Gadhafi called him recently -- UN authority supersedes U.S. constitutional authority and sovereignty.

To be sure, a long list of reasons support America's desire to oust Gadhafi and his regime, especially his role in state-sponsored terrorism. It was Gadhafi that ordered the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270, most of whom were Americans. That said, a number of countervailing arguments counsel against intervening in Libya's civil war with this, as Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes euphemistically put it, "kinetic military action." This description was later revised by Press Secretary Jay Carney to "time-limited, scope-limited" military action. That clears things up.

For one, it is a civil war. U.S. policy -- at least ostensibly -- has been to refrain from engaging in conflicts where U.S. vital national interests are not at stake. Whatever interests the U.S. has in Libya, the term "vital" certainly does not apply.

Second, as a sovereign nation, the U.S. neither seeks nor is granted authority from a supra-national organization such as the UN to use American instruments of national power, including military force. Such authority must vest from within, and in the U.S. that mechanism is the Constitution. While the president has both the authority and duty to use force in protection of the United States from an actual or imminent attack, that is the extent of his unilateral authority. Congress alone has the authority to approve the use of military force in all other circumstances as it did in the wake of 9/11. In the case of both Afghanistan and Iraq, President George W. Bush specifically approached Congress, asked for and was granted a resolution authorizing the use of military force. His successor -- not so much.

Next, we have no idea whether the regime that replaces Gadhafi (if that happens) will actually be a change for the better. While the words "democracy" and "freedom" are bandied about indiscriminately, no one knows what Libya will look like post-Gadhafi. In fact, the rebels are self-described Islamic "holy warriors" who have at least the verbal backing of al-Qa'ida. This fact alone should advocate for restraint.

Moreover, as America nears the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we should pause to reflect upon the fact that our nation has been at war continuously for almost a decade. Should we -- or can we even afford to -- embark on a third commitment of manpower and resources, much less one that is undefined and open-ended? Supposedly, no "boots on the ground" were to be committed, but as we go to press 2,200 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are stationed just off the Libyan coast. In the first few days of this conflict alone, we have already lost a plane and spent hundreds of Tomahawk missiles -- are we prepared to commit to this effort to the point that we're willing to sacrifice American lives as well?

In 2007, both Barack Obama and his levelheaded sidekick Joe Biden believed that the president's authority to use military force is limited to repelling an imminent or ongoing attack on the U.S., and that Congress alone has the authority to authorize the use of military force in all other circumstances. "The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation," said Barack Obama then. Likewise, Joe Biden chimed in, "I made it clear to the president that if he takes this nation to war without congressional approval, I will make it my business to impeach him. That is a fact."

These claims were made when they were "Candidate Obama" and "Senator Biden," respectively -- that is, before either decided that their heartfelt words on the campaign trail or a TV talk show were never meant to be applied to themselves at some future point.

Finally, it's worth highlighting how utterly disagreeable is the military operation label "Odyssey Dawn." An odyssey is a very long, convoluted saga -- not an event wrapped up in a few days, as this effort has been promoted, thus far. We're hoping that the Pentagon has a good sense of humor and irony. Otherwise and unwittingly, it may have aptly coined the beginning of yet another endless military journey. It might be nice to rid the world of Moammar Gadhafi. But before we commit American lives and resources toward doing so, shouldn't we first pause to ask the question: At what cost?

Quote of the Week

News From the Swamp: CBO Ups Deficit Estimates

The Congressional Budget Office released a report analyzing Barack Obama's 2012 budget proposal, and its findings further confirm that the president is not at all serious about controlling spending. We pause now to allow recovery from this shocking revelation.

CBO's accounting indicates that Obama's budget proposal will result in $1.43 trillion in deficits for fiscal 2012, and $1.16 trillion for fiscal 2011. Total spending would increase 57 percent over the next decade, from $3.7 trillion to $5.8 trillion, double the national debt to more than $20 trillion in that same time frame, and raise the debt to an overwhelming 87 percent share of annual U.S. economic output.

The report also notes that the president's budget will actually increase deficits by 23 percent over the next 10 years, not reduce them as the White House claims. The administration's response to the CBO report is to quibble that the 10-year deficit would go up by only $7 trillion, not the $9 trillion that CBO claims. If that's the best argument Team Obama has for their budget proposal, then they really don't have an argument. The real need is to tackle entitlements and make substantive cuts in spending. Obama's plan does neither. It actually pretends that our fiscal woes don't even exist.

This Week's 'Alpha Jackass' Award

"[T]here was this attitude in our society of blaming the victim. When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn't home in time to make the dinner. We've gotten by that, but it's amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party -- whose philosophy threw us into this God-awful hole we're in, gave us the tremendous deficit we've inherited -- that they're now using, now attempting to use, the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim -- whether it's organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women. It's bizarre. It's bizarre." --Joe Biden with a bizarre comparison of the GOP to rape apologists

Hope 'n' Change: ObamaCare Turns One

ObamaCare turned one year old this week, and the law that supporters believed would grow to become more popular over time is now more loathed than ever. Major court decisions have bolstered the case that the constitutionality of the law is questionable, but until the Supreme Court delivers the final verdict, the administration will continue to implement the law en bloc.

Supporters say that seniors are the major beneficiaries, though significantly greater physician reporting requirements will rob doctors' time and resources from patient treatment. Additionally, government mandates will steer physicians into specific courses of care and treatment that will narrow patient choices for crafting their own care, and not always for the better. The doctor-patient relationship as we know it will be obliterated in favor of a bloated, faceless bureaucracy that makes medical decisions based upon its own skewed perceptions of what is necessary and not.

Another supposed beneficiary of ObamaCare is American business, but compliance costs necessary to meet increased reporting requirements will cause a substantial drain on business resources. In addition, $500 billion in new taxes will hit hardest the businesses that are struggling in this rocky economy. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that small business tax credits to offset this burden will benefit only some 12 percent of people in the small-group insurance market. Furthermore, CBO estimates the 10-year cost of ObamaCare at $1.45 trillion, $40 billion higher than what it figured last year. Meanwhile, few actions have even been taken with the law yet, except to offer more than 1,000 exemptions to businesses, unions and even entire states that can't -- or don't want to -- meet its requirements. Happy birthday, indeed.

From the Left: More Delay in Enacting Wisconsin Labor Law

Dane County, Wisconsin, Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi put her stamp on the delaying tactic started by Secretary of State Doug LaFollette when he opted to take the full 10 days to publish the state's new labor law. By placing an injunction on LaFollette's publishing the law, Judge Sumi provided yet more time for local governments and unions to "improve" new contract terms. Compounding the problem, Judge Sumi is conveniently on vacation through March 28.

The injunction was issued at the request of a Dane County (which includes the city of Madison) district attorney who claimed the passage of the legislation was done at the expense of the state's open meetings law. However, there are two options for getting the law published: Lawmakers can re-enact the bill, or the state Supreme Court can overrule Judge Sumi. In any case, the proceedings continue to prove that Democrats will spare no expense to protect their own.

Tenth Amendment Legislation Needs Support

 In our post, Pennsylvania Legislature Joins the TSA Resistance Movement, we told you about Pennsylvania's House Resolution 16 and House Bill 852.  Both of these items were offered by Representative Tallman in resistance to the TSA's Unconstitutional airport screening measures.  These pieces of legislation are currently referred to the State Government Committee.

House Resolution 49, Pennsylvania's House State Sovereignty Resolution which was introduced by Representative Swanger, is also referred to the State Government Committee.

We have been advised that the State Government Committee will be meeting with regards to the TSA legislation on this Wednesday, March 30, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.

Please contact the state government committee members to get the TSA legislation, HR16 and HB852, out of committee and onto the floor of the house for a vote.  Tell them that we do not consent to unclothed, digital imaging of Pennsylvania's sons and daughters.  We do not consent to submit Pennsylvania's sons and daughters to improper sexual contact as a condition for travel. 

We, the People of Pennsylvania, demand to be treated according to the Constitution and with a presumption of innocence.

Sending this message especially important if you are a constituent of one of the committee members.  And while you're at it, you can ask them to support State Sovereignty Resolution, HR49, too!  Here are the members who need to be contacted before Wednesday

Philadelphia Republican City Committee overwhelmingly endorses a Democrat for Mayor.

GOP endorses Brown for Phila. mayor

 By Miriam Hill and Robert Moran

Inquirer Staff WritersFri, Mar. 25, 2011

She probably will never be the city's first female mayor, but Karen Brown does seem to have achieved a different first.

By winning the endorsement of the city's Republican ward leaders Thursday night, Brown becomes the first woman endorsed for mayor by a major Philadelphia political party.

"It's amazing to me," Brown said of winning the endorsement during the meeting at the United Republican Club.

"I have to believe it's a first," said Zack Stalberg, head of the watchdog group Committee of Seventy. "And I can't think of more unusual circumstances."

The unusual circumstance is that until a few weeks ago, Brown was a Democrat running for City Council. Frustrated with her own party, she switched to the GOP and nabbed that party's mayoral endorsement.

Brown said she intends to campaign for job creation and better schools.

She also said she opposes the closing of firehouses.

"These services should never be cut," she said.

Brown, 49, is a former Catholic schoolteacher.  She told the Committee of Seventy that she has graduate and undergraduate degrees in business from Gwynedd-Mercy College. She has three adult children and is married to an official for the Transport Workers' Union AFL-CIO Local 234.

Her only rival for the Republican City Committee mayoral endorsement was John Featherman, 46, a Philadelphia real estate agent.

Brown got 34 votes to seven for Featherman, with 17 abstentions.

Brown said previously that she had the backing of party leaders Michael Meehan and Vito Canuso, though it was unknown Thursday night how they voted.

Featherman has criticized Meehan and Canuso for what he says is their lack of leadership. He said he plans to stay on the ballot and put up a good fight.

"They know I represent ousting them and putting in new leadership," Featherman said.

The winner of the May 17 primary will likely face Mayor Nutter, whose only opposition is Milton Street, brother of the former mayor, in the November general election. With Democrats outnumbering Republicans in Philadelphia by more than 6-1, a GOP upset in November is highly unlikely.

Slaughter a liberal sacred cow:

Explain that China's "genocide" in Tibet is a liberal myth, eagerly stoked by the exiled Dalai Lama (who has no vested interests, right?) and funded in the 1950s by the CIA as part of a campaign to discredit the Communist Chinese. Most of the Tibetan monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution by young native Tibetan Communists convinced that religion had inhibited Tibet's modernization. Stories about mass killings turn out, on close scrutiny, to be entirely fictitious. Conclude this mini-history lesson by asking: "Anyway, what's your problem? You're a liberal. You LIKE Commies!"

Conservative history:

Describe how, contrary to cozy liberal myth, the great FDR managed to prolong the Great Depression by seven years. Research by UCLA economists Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian has shown that the anti-competition and pro-labor measures Roosevelt signed into law as part of his New Deal stalled what could have been a "beautiful recovery."
