in the winter of 1997 there was an Islamic star and crescent at the World Trade Center. And another one at the park in front of the White House. No one in the media thought it at all odd, that a man who had a long record of blatantly supporting terrorists should get his way. They thought it was just great.
…
On the Christmas of 2001, New York City was a city with an open wound. Muslims had finally made their impact on the holiday season in a truly unforgettable way. At Ground Zero, workers were still struggling to search through the remains, looking for bodies or parts of them. “It would be like a gift for somebody,” a police officer said, who was spending his holiday searching through the debris. A gift for the non-believers on that holiday season from Islam.

But while Muslims were stuffing their faces in November 2001, Americans were mourning for the dead. While Abdul and Mohammed and Raisa were picking through their lamb stew, Americans were picking up the pieces. And yet it was Americans who were repeatedly told to be sensitive to Muslim concerns.
…
3,000 people died on 9/11 because America preferred to appease, rather than confront. And we are still busy appeasing, like never before.

When scrambling to explain all the cold weather people only expose their ignorance of climate science. They also, fortunately, produce statements that, even those who don’t understand the science, see as illogical. Notice Dorling says “climate change” as he tries to suggest the current cold is just an anomaly in an overall warming trend.

Climate change is a subset of the paradigm shift of environmentalism

Americans can give thanks in this Christmas season for an end to the reckless and destructive 111th Congress. This is the Congress that passed Obamacare, against the wishes of a substantial majority of the public, on Christmas Eve of last year.
…
odds are that not one member of the 111th Congress actually read the so-called “cap-and-trade” bill before it passed the House in June 2009. Even a speed-reader could not have digested House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman’s last-second, 309-page amendment, which read as clear as mud

The Obama administration now acknowledges what the rest of us already knew. You can’t close a facility housing stateless unlawful enemy combatants with a presidential signature. “The White House admitted Sunday it would be unable to shut Guantanamo Bay in the near future, even as it acknowledged the U.S. naval prison camp is a rallying cry for Islamic extremists,” the AFP reports.

I wish the AFP could find and report something – anything – that is not a rallying cry for terrorist muslims.

Conflating euthanasia with Living Wills is silly, but Obama has decided to bring the issue through the back door through regulation – a dangerous precedent that the president apparently feels will be necessary with other Obamacare issues that never made it past the finish line in Congress
…
The issue was withdrawn because it was politically impossible to leave in the original legislation. To sneak it in by this manner just shows how little respect Obama has for constitutional niceties.

Here in the Manning case, some clearly see sleep deprivation and a lack of a pillow pet and a special blankie as torture. So when can we expect the Justice Department to investigate the Obama administration?

» Florida gains two seats in Congress

The boost in Florida’s population comes as part of a broad population migration — and power shift — with Sun Belt states like Florida, Georgia, Arizona and Texas picking up seats that are being lost in declining Northern states, including Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Texas was the biggest winner in the census, picking up 4 new seats; Ohio and New York each lost two.

Migration from the blue states to the red states is changing the balance of power on the federal level.
Yea, I know. The fact that the states declining economically, going broke and rotting are also mostly dhimmicrat controlled – just coincidence.

“It’s not just climate but also the attractiveness of the state’s relatively low tax rates,”

Two points made. 1 – People really don’t like paying taxes and will often move to where taxes are lower. 2 – Somehow, having lower tax rates really does foster more revenue.
Weird, huh?

There is a sense, I suppose, that we are not really in danger, that politics is much the same as it has been and will be for a lot longer. Liberals act as if they can pass another package designed to help the poor and unemployed that they will have accomplished something, as if the very act of passage puts people to work and enriches the poor. They feel that if they take credit for it they can stay in power long enough to turn this nation into a socialist utopia.

There is no socialist utopia. All of the examples they have held up as socialist success are bankrupt.

We have a great legal system in America. And I write that as someone on the inside – I’m a criminal-defense attorney. But my civil brethren have a unique way of making me feel dirty sometimes. I wish they focused more on justice sometimes instead of wealth transfer (read “extortion”).
