Oh, man, this is great:

President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House.

This is like Tea Party Christmas.  Obama just opened the door to impeachment. At a minimum, this gives Congress the opportunity to examine Obama’s use of Executive Privilege, which should prove rewarding. This is not any victory for the Marxists in the White House. This is a large chunk crashing down in the collapse of the administration!

Boehner is smart but weak — but this is the only time he has been hitched to Issa instead of McConnell.  Well, maybe he’s … Continue reading →

Thought for a moment there we might have been at risk over these leaks.

Obama said his administration has “zero tolerance” for such leaks and that there would be an internal administration probe.  http://www.kens5.com/news/national/158294625.html

Which is a little like bailing out water from a burning ship.

Facts will matter less in the future, and we should prepare to win in that age.

These days, it is increasingly simple for people to back up whatever opinion they have with facts from a variety of sources.   If I wish to claim that a certain tax scheme is right and good, I am likely to bolster my claim with numbers from somewhere.  After all, utilitarian arguments such as “does it work?” should not be unwelcome in a public policy discussion.   Some facts are sought for and others are generated, while still others simply fall as if from the sky into a person’s awareness.  Such is the nature of our “one point five way” communications environment.

I can access a wealth of hard data from the … Continue reading →

Question of the week:
Is voting in America a Human Right?

This is a great resource, informative and crisp, illustrating the fetal development timeline.

There has long been a common misperception that most abortions occur before the embryo or fetus is recognizably human. Day after day, thousands of aborting women wrongly believe that they’re simply eliminating some undifferentiated human cell tissue. Because the general ignorance of prenatal development is so convenient to the abortion industry, it’s not hard to guess why Planned Parenthood does so little to accurately educate their clients. Of course, even if human embryos didn’t become so recognizably human in such a short amount of time, would that somehow change the ethics of abortion? Afterall, isn’t it the height of injustice to abuse another member of the human community simply because they don’t look the way … Continue reading →
