The creepy mindset behind Cass Sunstein's creepy proposal

Cass Sunstein has long been one of Barack Obama's closest confidants. Often mentioned as a likely Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, Sunstein is currently Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs." In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and psuedo-"independent" advocates to "cognitively infiltrate" online groups and websites -- as well as other activist groups -- which advocate views that Sunstein deems...

Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't

The Washington Post yesterday afternoon reported "President Obama delivers remarks on Ft. Hood shooting at end of tribal leaders conference." The transcript begins: SPEAKER: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA [*] OBAMA: Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference. I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see...

what is the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

The Difference: If a conservative doesn't like guns, they don't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don't eat meat. If a liberal is vegetarian, they want to ban all meat products for everyone. If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good. If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect. If a black man or Hispanic...

Politics

Eight years later, I am still angry about 9/11. Many people are not. In fact, many people barely remember 9/11. We have resumed our usual activities. This is good – it shows the terrorists they haven’t won. But we may also have resumed our usual patterns of thought. This is not good. The problem with 9/10 thinking is that it leads to 9/11.

Fighting a War Against Fanatics - (how long before liberal appeasers see their own peril?)

The jihadist attack on innocent London residents as they made their way to work during the morning rush hour illuminates the grim reality of this era. Despite all of the claims about assimilating radical Moslems or moderating their sentiments, it is clear that whatever Western motives may be, jihadist goals are unremitting: undiluted destruction and sanguine nihilism. With another 700 injured and at least 50 killed, it is time to face this truth. These fanatics are intent on killing and maiming as many people as they can. Negotiations are not possible. With whom would one negotiate in any case? As...

Jane Fonda, Alan Colmes and The Inane Liberal Mindset

Last night, while watching Hannity & Colmes, I resisted the temptation of throwing something at the television set. I’ve heard, consistently, from many conservatives who know him, that Alan is “really a nice guy”. Maybe so. But, his comments continue to be consistently absurd, mindless, immature, idiotic, perplexing and too many other adjectives defining ‘ludicrous’ to list here. One of his Wednesday comments, however, took the proverbial cake. Engaged in a conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, regarding Jane Fonda and her new book, the inevitable subject of Fonda’s Viet Nam war atrocities came up in the discussion. Please bear...

The [Election] Fear Factor

After talking with some left-wing friends this weekend, I realized now more than ever that the question of whether to vote for Bush or Kerry truly boils down to another question, “A war for our lives, or a nuisance to our lifestyle?” The later question was asked on Friday by eminent historian Victor David Hanson. He answers it with honesty and erudition, but leaves out a very important point: the fear factor. Hanson correctly identifies Kerry et al’s penchant for wanting to solve our foreign policy disputes through diplomatic bureaucracy ad nauseum -- e.g., the United Nations. He hints at...

A tragic mindset (pro-Saddam movement who live in hope for a huge disaster)

THERE is an element of the anti-war movement who live in hope that there is a huge disaster just around the corner. They will not rest in warning of its arrival. They will not be satisfied until it has happened. These are the people who have found it difficult to acknowledge that the war has achieved one mighty goal already – removal of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. This is a terrific outcome. At least Greens Leader Bob Brown had the honesty to acknowledge it unconditionally. "The end of Saddam Hussein's ruthless tyranny is a great day for Iraqis and the world,"...
