Union to Library Volunteers" cbslocalblogs - wbztv.com:
It sounds, at first, like the type of move that would inspire one of those Hollywood slow claps that turns into a crescendo of applause. Volunteers step forward to keep the libraries up and running at the Bridgewater and Raynham middle schools.
Oh, but the story doesn't end there.
The teacher's union, the Bridgewater Raynham Education Association, may file a grievance. It believes 'unqualified' people do not belong in school libraries."

American Thinker Blog: Another Orwellian Wilders Trial in The Netherlands?
Terror is the finest weapon to silence the truth.....
American Thinker Blog: Another Orwellian Wilders Trial in The Netherlands?:
Geert Wilders, on trial in Amsterdam for 'inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims,' has also been summoned by a court in The Hague because imam Fawaz Jneid is demanding €55,000 in 'damages' from the Dutch MP. The so-called basis for this absurd lawsuit is that Wilders used footage which reveals Lebanese-born Mr Jneid's true malevolence, copied from an interview shown on Dutch public TV, and edited into the short film documentary 'Fitna' -- but incorporated into Fitna without the good imam's permission."

In a potential sign of Democratic unease with the White House midterm political strategy, some of President Obama's allies have begun to question his sustained attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has long claimed bipartisanship but is being increasingly identified as a GOP ally."

Karl Rove on Disclosing Donors: Obama Is 'Hypocritical' - George Stephanopoulos' Bottom Line:
Those were the Republican strategist's words this morning when I asked him if he would disclose the names of donors to his conservative Crossroads GPS group that supports Republican campaigns via ads.
'The president is being hypocritical about this. He had no problem at all with this when groups were spending money on his behalf in 2008 and not disclosing donors. He had no problem at all not disclosing his own donors, tens of millions of dollars of contributions to his campaign,” Karl Rove said on “GMA.”"

Barney Frank: Don’t interrupt me | The Daily Caller :
In his first debate with his Republican challenger today, the famously cantankerous Rep. Barney Frank discussed many issues. But on none was he as passionate as telling his opponent to stop interrupting him.
On eight separate occasions throughout the radio debate, Frank protested that Sean Bielat, his challenger, was interrupting him. And lest one thinks The Daily Caller is being petty – we got the idea from Frank, who was counting himself."

Ed Gillespie - Democrats' desperation tactics on campaign finance
Ed Gillespie - Democrats' desperation tactics on campaign finance:
In their latest attempt to distract voters from their job-killing policies, President Obama, his White House and senior Democrats in Congress have added to their long list of bogeymen the outside groups that seek to help elect Republicans in November. They threaten congressional investigations, discuss private tax information and level baseless accusations of criminal activity against those who have been public in seeking to defeat Democratic candidates and their liberal agenda. Without a trace of irony, powerful Democratic officeholders lament that many who support these groups wish to remain anonymous."

How Extraordinarily Good The American People Are - HUMAN EVENTS:
Your patience and forbearance are requested for the insertion of the personal, but there is a very important point that needs to be made. It must not be overlooked. I have been fortunate beyond description in my life, in every way, including having lived in Western Europe for many years, thus being afforded the gift of having learned other languages and other cultures. I have had great privilege and have relished in that privilege. All this privilege and relish came to a screeching halt, however, as a result of factors I could not change, and for the first time in my life, I was forced to enter the world of the ‘lower orders’ (one of the great phrases of the inimitable P. G. Wodehouse)."

Several years ago, in a key defeat for free speech, newspapers cowered before Muslim rage and refused to run cartoons of Muhammad. Now at the Washington Post they’re going one better, and refusing to run cartoons that don’t depict Muhammad—again, believe it or not, for fear of enraging Muslims. And once again, one of the nation’s most influential mainstream media outlets fails to see the free-speech implications of their cowardice and enabling of Islamic supremacism."
