- John Brennan and His Drone War, by Ron Radosh. The memo that would have had the Left raging, had it been Bush. More from Scott Ott: American Citizens Fair Game Under Obama Doctrine.
- USS Cole Suspect Complains of Marks on Wrist; Victims Describe Their Torture, by Bridget Johnson. “If al-Nashiri believes what he did is within his belief and that’s what Allah wanted or his god, well then man up, per se …and stop hiding behind our Constitution.”
- How a Mammogram Can Kill You, by Theodore Dalrymple. Nobody wants to talk about the lethal consequences of the misdiagnosis.
- ‘Muslim Patrols’: Sharia Enforcers Hit Britain’s Streets, by Mike McNally. Several videos posted online show gangs terrorizing random pedestrians.
- British Lawmakers Back Gay Marriage Plans, by Mike McNally. Change.
- Pete Sessions, and the Unbearable Disconnect of the GOP, by Mark Stuertz. It isn’t hard to see why the GOP is in sorry shape. Just spend a few moments talking with party leadership.
Having looked at gun laws, due to recent coversations occuring across this continental union, and in particular the exclusionary categories–it seems to me that if we are going to deny freedoms to those who have not actually done anything violent, but are stereotyped in with the type of person who does, then it is both a violation of the equal protection clause (for we are making decisions not based on the individual, but stereotypes), and, if we are to treat entitlements as property rights, as sometimes happens, then should not the denial of a birthright and Bill of Rights right be seen as an eminent domain of a right that society needs to compensate that individual for, for the individual has not done anything deliberate, as the other exclusionary categories are?
Re: S&P–my guess is that there is something legitimate for the government to go after, and the reason they went looking at that company in particular is that some liberal at Justice got ticked off when the rating downgrade happened, and got motivated to find a weak spot.
Our new overlords.
