Is America at war, or not?:
For if we are at war, why is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed headed for trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York? Why is he entitled to a presumption of innocence and all of the constitutional protections of a U.S. citizen?
Is it possible we have done an injustice to this man by keeping him locked up all these years without trial? For that is what this trial implies – that he may not be guilty."

Open Letter to Timothy Geithner: Is Your Nose Getting Longer?
Dear Treasury Secretary Geithner:
I noticed you recently told the Japanese press that you intended to maintain a strong dollar, and that the Obama administration would bring the U.S. fiscal deficit back to a “sustainable balance.”
Tell me, don’t you feel your nose extending like Pinocchio’s when you tell these fibs to innocent Asians?
The dollar is not strong. In fact, it’s sinking to record levels of weakness, and it’s going to stay that way, for three reasons... Read more HERE

Here's a quiz that may appear some day on history tests:

b) A deranged psychotic who snapped under the pressure of treating soldiers returning from Iraq and who happened to be a Muslim;
c) A prime example of 'The True Believer,' the lonely, frustrated individual who attaches himself to an overarching cause as a way of compensating for personal disappointments."

On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to 'resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater.' He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft"

The president's plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House.
On the practical side, Obama has spent more money on new programs in nine months than Bill Clinton did in eight years, pushing the annual deficit to $1.4 trillion. This leaves little room for big spending initiatives."

The new era of government control over our lives and freedoms has begun. This week, it got personal, and I felt helpless.
The doctor overseeing my health care advised me to get an H1N1 flu shot. I've been under a six-year treatment program for a chronic infection, plus I have heart and lung problems. Therefore, I am considered a high risk. Fortunately, my doctor had three shots available, but I would have to get approval from my county health department. Much to my surprise, the woman at the health department apologized and told me that even though I was a senior citizen at high risk, the health department had been instructed to approve shots only for children and pregnant mothers. I asked when a shot for my situation might be available. 'We really don't know. Check back with us sometime in December.'"

Tea Bag Terror: Protests Causing Scares, Evacuations At Congressional Offices
Back on April 15th of this year - Tea Bag Protests were labeled "Terror" with no hesitation...that is....people mailing actual Tea Bags to their legislatures...( I wonder if they have Tea Kevlar vests? ) However, when someone - a TERRORIST - guns down people at a military base....let's not rush to judgement?
Tea Bag Terror: Protests Causing Scares, Evacuations At Congressional Offices:
A recent email to hundreds of thousands of conservatives exhorted them to 'Send a Tea Bag to Washington, D.C. for $1.' Other activists have organized local efforts to mail tea bags to the offices of their members of Congress.
It's all part of the anti-Obama, anti-tax 'tea party' movement, backed aggressively by corporate-funded 'astroturf' organizations like FreedomWorks. But now one of their symbolic protests is drawing attention for the wrong reasons."

Here are more numbers to fry your brain and cause a temporary sense of helplessness.
The government's household survey (the one from which the unemployment rate of 10.2 percent comes) showed a 'decline in employment' of 589,000 in October, which followed a 785,000 employment drop in September."

A Brief History of the Right to Self-Defense - HUMAN EVENTS
A Brief History of the Right to Self-Defense - HUMAN EVENTS:
For the first 150-years of the existence of the U.S.A., the right of citizens to carry arms was so fundamental it was not considered worthy of debate. The Founders considered their right to keep and bear arms the ultimate and most fundamental guarantee of life and free-dom against crime, foreign invasion, and as a last resort, a despotic government. No knowledgeable American--from the founding of the United States through the mid-1950's--would have questioned that the Second Amendment to the Constitution meant exactly what it says, '… the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' This was not a right of a Militia. The 'Militia' was--and under current law still is--all able-bodied adults, who are expected to keep their privately-owned arms similar to what is used by the military at the time."

Creech Air Force Base, NV -- Thirty years ago this week a group of Iranian “students” shouting “death to America” stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran, taking nearly 100 hostages -- among them 65 Americans. Though foreign national employees and some Americans were released within a few weeks, the remaining 52 were held for 444 days. For the American people, it was an introduction to militant Islam. For President Jimmy Carter, intent on “engaging” the radical regime that replaced Shah Reza Pahlavi, it was a disaster. The Obama administration appears to have missed the lessons of this debacle."

It is suspected that last Thursday, Nov. 5, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist and devout Muslim, fatally shot 13 American citizens (12 service members) and wounded an additional 29 people at the largest U.S. military base, Fort Hood, Texas.
For six months, authorities had been tracking the extremist thinking of Hasan. Internet postings like this one go back to May 20, 2009: 'Scholars have paralleled (a U.S. soldier's falling on a grenade to save surrounding troops) to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.'"
It is suspected that last Thursday, Nov. 5, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist and devout Muslim, fatally shot 13 American citizens (12 service members) and wounded an additional 29 people at the largest U.S. military base, Fort Hood, Texas.

Fort Hood's 9/11
AMEN! Thank God someone has the courage to say this....
Fort Hood's 9/11:
On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting 'Allahu Akbar!' committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting."

The House of Representatives intends to ram its healthcare legislation through Congress. A mere week ago it revealed some of what it plans to do to our 'health' with the latest iteration of ObamaCare. We can only say 'some' because floor action will see new amendments added, and after that the bill must still be reconciled with the $2 trillion Senate abomination put out by Max Baucus's (D-MT) Finance Comittee in October."

Bloodless President Barack Obama makes Americans wistful for George W Bush - Telegraph:
During the election campaign, Barack Obama's cool detachment was a winning quality, the 'No Drama Obama' a welcome contrast with the 'Mr Angry' John McCain, never mind the hot-headed 'I'm the decider' President George W Bush.
A year into his presidency, however, Mr Obama seems a curiously bloodless president. If he experiences passion, he seldom shows it. It is often anyone's guess as to whether an event or issue truly moves him."

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years."

American Thinker: UK renewables revolution threatens blackouts:
It is easy to understand the romantic attraction of the clean energy revolution and the rush to replace ‘dirty' fossil fuels. In the light of the war on carbon it's a no brainer, right? Which is precisely why, just as diminishing EU and UK subsidies are prompting an industry exodus westward, the British renewables industry may be about to be given an unexpected investment shot in the arm from some of the world's biggest multinational companies in one of the biggest analogies to the adage 'I gave at the church,' in this case the environmentalism church."

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their Democratic followers in Congress have a rather draconian message for the private sector: Speak now, and we'll make you forever hold your peace.
Up until a few weeks ago, America's health insurers were sheepishly on board with the Obama-Pelosi health care reform plan. Perhaps the industry feared that voicing any concern about the plan would unleash the ire of an increasingly rabid Democratic majority on Capitol Hill. As it turns out, the health insurers were right."

Republican Leader John Boehner | Speaker Pelosi�€™s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium
Republican Leader John Boehner | Speaker Pelosi's Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium:
Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it.
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that.� On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan.� The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan.� It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.”� The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services."

Proposed law would require pay for sick workers | Health | Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers who tell workers to stay home when they are sick will have to give them paid time off for up to five days under new federal legislation proposed on Tuesday.
The emergency law would cover pandemic H1N1 flu or any other infectious disease, said California Representative George Miller, a Democrat who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee and who introduced the bill.
'Sick workers advised to stay home by their employers shouldn't have to choose between their livelihood, and their co-workers' or customers' health,' Miller said."

Ever since the left wing captured the universities and media, putative conservatives desiring media favor and intellectual respectability have been apologizing for conservatism's most popular and effective figures. These days, they want to distance themselves from the 'anger' and 'extremism' of such personalities as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
What they ought to be doing instead is taking lessons from Beck as he lectures in front of a blackboard, a fitting symbol for what has gone wrong. Conservatism is rising, and we have the intellectual and historical high ground."

However, what feels most prophetic lately is an obscure movie from the l970s called Little Murders. The writer, Pulitzer-Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, predicted that the '60s would unleash a feral, primitive society."

The American Spectator : Behold a Trojan Pony:
Last week the Congressional Budget Office 'scored' the House of Representatives' revised health insurance 'public option' and found it would charge premiums higher than those of private insurance and attract only six million buyers.
Thus, the growing worry that a public option would undercut private policies and soon drive them out of business seemed to evaporate. Speaker Pelosi, cheerleader for a 'public option,' gloated that the consolidated House bill came in under President Obama's declared ceiling cost of $900 billion and would not add to the deficit."

Thomas Sowell : The "Costs" of Medical Care - Townhall.com:
We are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is 'too high'-- either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes. But nothing that is being proposed by the government is likely to lower those costs, and much that is being proposed is almost certain to increase the costs."

Ahhhh, nary a vote had been cast when the name calling began..............
Townhall.com Blog : Meredith Jessup : NYTimes' Frank Rich: "The GOP Stalinists Invade Upstate New York":
Barack Obama’s most devilish political move since the 2008 campaign was to appoint a Republican congressman from upstate New York as secretary of the Army. This week’s election to fill that vacant seat has set off nothing less than a riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war. No matter what the results in that race on Tuesday, the Republicans are the sure losers. This could be a gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats through 2010, and perhaps beyond."

There's a vicious rumor being reported in Washington. It says President Obama was holding off his announcement of new troop movements into Afghanistan not until after Hamid Karzai's election runoff that had been scheduled for November 8, but until after today's closely-watched off-year elections. The basis for that rumor is the idea that Obama would not want to depress his own base, discourage 'peace' voters from voting in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23rd congressional district."

Election Day, 1984 -- twenty five years ago -- many thought that the ideological battle of America was won.

Reagan got into politics with 'The Speech' endorsing Barry Goldwater. Here is what Reagan said in 1964:"

Beck calls himself a 'rodeo clown.' That fits. A rodeo clown distracts the bull's attention to defend rodeo riders at risk. Beck believes the nation is at risk and he's out to distract the raging bulls, or the progressives in power."

Here’s the executive summary in case you missed it:
The crisis: “Inherited.”
The economy: “In terrible shape” (the inherited one).
The shocks to the system: “Larger than those that precipitated the Great Depression.”
The policy response: “Strong and timely.”"

Ending "Too Big To Fail"? - The Market Ticker:
WASHINGTON -- A deal between the Treasury Department and a key House Democrat would give the government sweeping new powers to police the country's largest financial companies, including the ability to seize and break up failing companies and order large firms to shrink.
Uh huh.
The proposal would require financial firms with more than $10 billion of assets to pay for the unwinding of a collapsed competitor. The measure would also give the Federal Reserve the power to direct any large financial holding company to sell or transfer assets or stop certain activities if the central bank determined there could be a 'threat to the safety and soundness of such company or to the financial stability of the United States.' This suggests the Fed would win new authority to order companies to shrink."
