Get Rid Of The Local Police
- By Warner Todd Huston

This week the Supreme Court issued a ruling at the end of it’s sessions for the season that just reiterates that the police in the US are good for little else but investigating crime that has already happened.

The police are not there to help or protect or serve. They are not there to prevent crime. They are not there to stop a thing. The overused phrases “crime prevention” and “law enforcement” are ridiculous misnomers.

Don’t misconstrue this Op Ed as this is no lament. The fact that the police are not there to prevent crime is the way it should be. For prevention assumes foreknowledge and we all know that foreknowledge is problematic at best and oppressive “thought police” action at worst…….

Our Rights Proceed From Leninists
- By Rudy Takala

In a recent Supreme Court decision, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, “If the peasants sow the fields poorly, they should be helped-and this particularly applies to the poor peasants-by means of collective cultivation of the large estates. There is no other way of helping the poor peasants.” Therefore, “The landed estates must be confiscated immediately .”

Actually, that was Vladimir Lenin writing in an issue of the communist publication Pravda on June 2, 1917. I’ve compiled a small list of quotes for use in this article, but at times it can be hard to remember who used which ones. It doesn’t help that Lenin and Justice Stevens - the oldest member on the court - are roughly the same age. Rest assured that while quotes may be at times confused, no one’s beliefs will be misrepresented.

What the Supreme Court ruled on is as pertinent to America today as it was to Russia in 1917: the distribution of land. Connecticut statutes express a legislative determination that the taking of land as part of an economic development project is a “public use” and in the “public interest.” The point of debate was the Constitutionality of a Connecticut city’s confiscation of land to that end………

Karl Rove Should Apologize. He Went Way to Easy on Them
- By Justin Darr

After years of attacks from the Left on the War on Terror, Karl Rove has finally said it like it is. America’s Liberals have never approached the War on Terror with the seriousness it deserves. Oblivious to the obvious irony of Illinois Senator Dick Durbin’s coerced and disingenuous apology for comparing the actions of American troops at Guantanamo Bay to those of the Nazis coming within the same week as Rove’s comments, Democrats in Congress rushed to the aid of their ideological brethren attacking Rove and demanding either his resignation or a similarly disingenuous apology to that of Durbin.

This is more than the usual game of Washington tit for tat politics. While Karl Rove was only intending to criticize Moveon.org and other radical Leftist groups, he hit far to close to the truth for the comfort of the Liberals on the Hill, who above all else do not want the American people to know what they really see as the signifigance of 9/11 in American history. This is why the Liberals rolled out their venerable and well used “outrage machine” in response to Rove’s comments. If the voters knew what the real opinions of the Democrats are, the Democrats could look forward to being the minority party for the next 10 years. And for this Karl Rove should have criticized them ………….

Tyranny In The Blue Zone (These Judges Were Approved By Liberals)
- By R.A. Hawkins

Has anybody noticed that we haven’t had a single judge appointed to the Supreme Court since the Republican revolution in ‘94? Not a single judge has made it through without the approval of what is now the minority (and for a darn good reason) in the Senate and Congress. One of the people responsible for the ethical cave-ins to the left-wingers is the left-wing favorite McCain. I was slightly amused at the Washington Posts view that McCain and Hillary would be unstoppable if they ran together in 2008. I am about as interested in their opinion regarding that, as I am the leftist approval of any judge anywhere. It has about as much validity as the left-wing choice of Tim McVeigh as being representative of Christians.

But I started to point out what kind of judges the liberals have ‘allowed to be’ appointed. Here is a glowing example of the kind of things they tend to do. In the City of New London, Connecticut the city formed a non-profit corporation so they could raze a few blocks and raise a few hackles. They want to put up a series of office buildings so they can harvest more taxes. In order to accomplish this feat they will have to throw a bunch of people out of their houses. Some of them aren’t willing to leave either. Here is how the Supreme Court voted: …………

European Politics, Far More Racist Than America’s
- By Warner Todd Huston

Recently I was scanning a web message board where people from many nations come to post about their favorite political subjects and wrangle with like minded souls or friendly apostates over national and international policy. Something I saw there really caught my eye. It was an exchange over whose nation was more racist. Was it the USA or was it any of the various Western European nations?

An exchange there went something like this:

bigenglish: “Well, obviously the USA is more racist because you fellows have the Ku Klux Klan running around ruling the South.”

USPatriot: “What? The KKK is a nonentity over here and has been for decades. Heck, we don’t even have any Klan members in government yet you guys have whole parties that are based on racist sentiment like the BNP.”

This exchange really gave me pause to think. The American poster was exactly right, of course. Certainly the USA has a history from just prior to the Civil War up until the 1960’s where outright, self avowed racists have held high public office. Of course, the Ku Klux Klan had many of its members similarly holding office in the “bad old” days here in the USA between 1870 and the late 1920s or so.

But those days are long over. When Congress broke the back of the KKK in the 1920’s and drove it’s members out of high public office and back into the back woods encampments they came out of, it signaled the beginning of the end for mixing politics and racists in the USA. And by the time the Republicans helped lead the nation to pass the 1964 Civil Rights bill, it was becoming obvious that racism in politics was on it’s last leg…….

Communist Judges Destroy Property Rights In The Name Of Community
- By Frederick Meekins

Despite their vast wisdom, one of the errors the Founding Fathers allowed to creep into the Constitution was the principle of eminent domain. According to this concept, government is allowed to step in and snatch your property if it can justify doing so in the public interest.

Often this form of despotism is invoked for the completion of projects claimed to be in the public interest such as the expansion of highways or the renovation of properties the owners have allowed to deteriorate. However, the Dishonorable Court has ruled the town of New London, Connecticut is allowed to seize and destroy a number of homes in the name of community betterment to placate a rapacious developer in league with a pharmaceutical company…..

Moral Bankruptcy Of Islamist Sympathizers
- By Frederick Meekins

Concern has been expressed regarding Microsoft’s willingness to censor blogs originating in China.

While the news is disturbing to anyone disposed to innate liberties, the policy is not all that different than the one employed here in the United States though in less a aggressive form.

Towards the end of 2004 when they released their blogging interface, I briefly signed up for one of the Microsoft sites. Not caring for the overall look of the site, I did not keep it very long.

However, even more unattractive than the sites aesthetic limitations were its linguistic parameters that did not permit words such as “Nazi” and even “pornography” or “slut” if memory serves me correctly. Whether this policy has changed since then, I do not know.

Who is Microsft to determine the propriety of these non-profane terms in a nation that prides itself on freedom of expression? Are his untold billions no longer enough to satisfy Bill Gates and now he must micromanage what is said on the Internet?

Often the rise of the Internet is heralded as a technological development that will unshackle the individual from the oppression of being told what to think and what ideas are fit for public exchange. However, in those regimes where freedom does not exist, this technology can be used to maintain the control of the elite or, in nation’s where the people have a bit for latitude in how they are permitted to live their lives, allow for a more subtle form of social manipulation by fostering a culture of intellectual boredom and inoffensive tedium.

Durbin takes off the gloves - and mask
- By Michael M. Bates

Illinois’ very own Senator Dick Durbin is a career politician who’s been in Washington for more than 20 years. He’s maintained a lower profile than Paris Hilton’s bodice all this time. But he picked a surefire theme for his national coming out party: Comparing American soldiers to Nazis, Communists, and Cambodia’s Pol Pot.

It may have seemed over the top, even by the current Democratic standards in which Howard Dean is viewed as the voice of moderation and restraint.

Adjusting the air conditioning and loudly playing hip-hop music doesn’t seem equivalent to the torture, brutality, widespread starvation, firing squads, burying people alive, gas chambers and ovens and other techniques used by history’s biggest murderer………………

Just Say No to Educational Failure
- By Rudy Takala

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently gave a fifteen minute commencement address to the graduates of Santa Monica College. He was forced to do so over the noise emanating from hundreds of protestors, an event which purportedly caused him to turn red and which has been amply covered by the news in recent days.

Another protest against Schwarzenegger took place last March in San Jose; that one was attended primarily by students of East San Jose high schools. Organizers had to keep asking the students to step back. One woman irately screamed in response, “We’ve taken too many steps back!”

Around the early part of June, one more near-riot against Schwarzenegger took place in the Silicon Valley. The union leaders who organized this particular event had to escort a limousine out of a crowd that was attempting to tip it over. (The crowd’s hope was that the governor was inside; he was not)………

Disharmonic Convergence (They Have Become What They Hate)
- By R.A. Hawkins

Several years ago when we didn’t have a real first lady, from 1992 until 2000 and even prior to 1992, all one had to do in order to get a liberal to be nice to you was claim to be Jewish. I remember battling it out on political message boards and being called a Nazi repeatedly by radical leftists. I decided to try something and put the Jews for Protection of Firearms Ownership link into my tagline for my posts. The strangest thing happened. Suddenly I was their best friend. I suspect that if I were to do that today I would get something along the lines of “Zionist pig.” There has been an accidental unveiling of the left.

Reagan was once asked a question in a debate and the reporter asking the question referred to him as being right wing. He calmly explained that if one goes all of the way to the left, one gets Stalin. If one goes all of the way to the right, they find Hitler. He said he preferred to be called a little right of center because if you draw it out on a piece of paper and fold it, Hitler and Stalin fold together and there’s no difference. There is actually only free and not free…………

The L.A. Weekly Wants A New Inquisition
- By Warner Todd Huston

Only this time they want to seek out and destroy Christianity itself instead of any particular sect thereof. I can say this because they have admitted as much in a recent column; The New Blacklist. More on that later.

This June 10th column has identified Christians as “Christers”, the kitschy new hate word created by anti-religionists in the U.S.A. to describe their foe; you and me. The Weekly uses this pseudo word some 16 times in the Op Ed even going so far as to make it appear as if the word was used in a Wall Street Journal article. (I guess that makes these religion haters the “Anti-Christers”?)

Apparently, these “Christers” have the gall to arrange boycotts against things in the entertainment and other industries that do not meet their standards and this little article spews several hundred words to excoriate them for it.

Yes, the gall of these people imagining that they should gather together and take advantage of democracy like that to urge people from whom they buy their products to listen to them as customers. The NERVE!…….

Reaction To Saddam Centerfold Exposes Moral Bankruptcy Of Islamist Sympathizers

Media leftists are decrying pictures of Saddam in his BVD’s. They insist such treatment is a testament to the lechery of the West and supposedly brutal tactics used by his captors.

But in reality, the response tells us more about those doing the complaining than about the incarceration policies of the U.S. military.

While most of us would be embarrassed if pictures of ourselves in our knickers made it into the local paper, we need to remember for just a second who Saddam Hussein is and the lifestyle that he has led.

American-hating liberals and their pet savages in the Middle East expect us to have sympathy for this hemorrhoid on the rear-end of humanity that hacked apart his enemies, shipped them back in little bags to their families, and expected to be paid for doing them the favor. To prisoners under his regime, having their pictures taken in their undies would have been a good day.

If anything, Saddam’s calendar layout should be seen as proof as to the beneficence of his caretakers. The cameras are — as we are told of those cataloging our every move — there for his own good.

If the devotees of tyranny and terror prefer, we can always have the cameras removed. Then if we’re lucky, Saddam will do us a favor and pull a Heinrich Himmler or Herman Goerring.

At the end of World War II, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in part out of fear of being put on public display. Today it seems the gullibility of the viewing public could be the caged dictator’s best friend.

Sorry Liberals. Being Arrogant Does Not Make You Right
- By Justin Darr

Back during the Presidential Election, Kerry enthusiasts were constantly gushing over the perceived intelligence of John Kerry. If it was not praises toward his “nuanced” approaches of how to creatively surrender to the United Nations and international terrorists then it was how all of his aides had to run around carrying dictionaries just so they could understand his “big words.” Well, the truth is out. Eight months after everyone quit caring about John Kerry’s records, he has finally released them to “The Boston Globe.” Chance of chances, these records show that Senator Kerry was a “C” student with a virtually identical grade average as the stuttering, slack jawed, ignoramus George W. Bush. And, Kerry’s aides needed dictionaries to understand him? Suddenly it is much easier to understand why Kerry ran such an inept campaign and how they thought voting for the $87 billion before he voted against it made any sense. Kerry chose to surround himself with die hard liberals who made the congenital mistake of all liberals by assuming that arrogance equaled intelligence and being right.

Arrogance is as much a part of liberalism as feathers are to being birds. In 2004, while under fire for the lack of intellectual diversity in the Philosophy Department at Duke University, department chair Robert Brandon misquoted John Stewart Mill and stated that conservatives were disproportionately stupid, and therefore underrepresented in academia. Being one of the intellectual elite, Professor Brandon must be well aware of the need to have supporting evidence for such and outrageous statement. And, what might that evidence be? Certainly not any quantitative facts. ………….

Life Sentence for Practicing Medicine Without a License?

Is Texas Teen Serving Life Sentence For Fetal Murder Or For Practicing Medicine Without A License?

A Texas teen has been given a life sentence for helping his girlfriend — who wanted an abortion — kill their unborn twins.

While this scumbag is where he now belongs, because his tramp can’t be prosecuted because of her right to an abortion, one is forced to ask is he being sent up the river for fetalcide or for practicing medicine without a license.

To be consistent, shouldn’t this sorry excuse for a man be heralded as a hero by the feminists because of his unwavering obedience and devotion to a wench whose only standard is her own murderous brand of existentialism?….

Fools Don’t Matter
- By Rudy Takala

I was attempting to watch the news a few days ago, which isn’t something I use a television for particularly much. Unfortunately, I quickly recalled why I don’t use the television for that purpose. On MSNBC, Joe Scarborough had a thrilling lineup of stories planned; namely Natalee Holloway, Michael Jackson, and Tom Cruise. On Fox, Greta van Susteren was talking about Natalee Holloway, Michael Jackson, and a serial killer. How, precisely, these tales of pedophilia, drunkenness, free sex, and whatever else the stories concern are pertinent to our society, I’m not sure; but they certainly do a good job of detracting attention from issues that actually matter.

One issue of significance to our nation is the life of an actor, Tom Cruise. He’s thinking about getting married for the third or fourth time. His current girlfriend was twelve years old when he married last time; evidently, he was just using his other wives to pass the time until this one was old enough. As he explained to Oprah, “Honestly, I haven’t [had this kind of experience before].”

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the International Criminal Court recently announced, “We are… beginning an investigation into crimes against humanity - war crimes, and possibly crimes of genocide” in the African region of Darfur. Unfortunately, American news agencies don’t have time to talk about that………

Anti-Church Act (But I’m not Anti-Church)
- By R.A. Hawkins

One might well wonder why the left is so inclined to hug Mark Felt, who was in their knickers for so long. Here is the primary reason: The left never did get over the fact that Nixon was the one who crucified their little darling Alger Hiss, who was the father of the United Nations. He also had a great deal to do with cutting the Communist movement to pieces in this country. Hillary made sure that she was part of the retaliatory strike against Nixon many years later.

Even though Nixon started many of the things that liberals love he still had much to do with removing their communist friends, or at least exposing them. This is why the ACLU was the first national organization to press for the impeachment of Richard Nixon. The ACLU had the same problems that Alger Hiss did. They were constantly being taken to task for their communist ties (http://www.dms489.com/ACLU.html). They never forgave him for what he did to Alger Hiss either…………

The ACLU is Going Down, and Taking a Few of Us With it
- By Justin Darr

For years the American Civil Liberties Union has pushed its agenda as to what the Constitution “really says,” and what freedom “really means” through judicial extortion. In 1978, the Supreme Court exempted the ACLU from the “ambulance chasing’ prohibitions that apply to nearly every other lawyer in the country. Over the years this has enabled the ACLU’s legions of pro bono attorneys to specifically target various organizations they feel are vulnerable to their lawsuits, dredge the ranks of the “offended” until they can find someone who will agree to let the ACLU stick their name at the top of a case, and then attempt to force a group’s acquiesce to their demands by threatening a costly legal case they usually cannot afford. Many who have dared to stand up against the ACLU might have won the battle in the court room, but lost the war as their organizations were driven into bankruptcy under crushing legal bills.

However, in the last few years the tide has started to turn. Alternate civil liberties groups, such as The American Center for Law and Justice, conservative radio commentators, and even some in the media, have drawn attention to the ACLU’s pattern of abuses, fanatic beliefs and outright hypocrisy. For the first time the ACLU is faced with legitimate public outcry over their tactics and slowly those who once would quietly give up their freedoms have been instilled with the will (and pro bono legal support) to fight. In addition, despite the efforts of obstructionist liberals in Congress, the court system is being given a much needed infusion of new judges who recognize that their interpretation of the Constitution should in some fashion be similar to those who wrote it. The ACLU understands its days of forcing Christianity, traditional values, and freedoms out of American public life are numbered ………….

Which Is Better Star Wars or Matrix Series?
- By Greg Stewart

Well, it has been a curious past couple of days, as I have watched the hype of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith reach a fever pitch. The anticipation of Anakin Skywalker turning to the “dark side” has captured the imagination of citizenry; or, at the least in this humble “geek’s opinion” the popular movement of the moment. To see the corruption of an individual transfixes us as we watch the choices people make for their own undoing and become the villain.

The villain is fascinated with a single goal: the unyielding conformity of the society has to be undone, so they can impose their own sense of orthodoxy. Therefore, the villain in the great tragedies are filled with the complexities that are reflected from their own culture; the “heroic” villain—the anti-hero—challenges the society’s normative value. In others words, those traditional values, those items which are besieged by the everyday authority and accepted as governance by the culture-at-large, are at times transformed by the anti-hero.
The “heroic” villain challenges the ideals, the principals, and the morals, which are confined within the status quo of the society. Needless to say, the villain’s complexities are reliant on the emotional picture of the culture. In American-Western culture (but especially in America) we want the villain to be simplistic and be able to escape from the difficulties of the world. We do not want to be confronted with the grays; we just the black and white.

Not All Liberals Are Evil
- By Rudy Takala

Lately, I’ve been receiving quite a few messages from liberals who accuse me of over generalizing them as socialists, traitors, and any number of other things. This isn’t precisely what I believe, so I’ve been motivated to an attempt at clarifying the issue.

When I write about liberal Democrats, it’s usually safe to assume I’m not referring to all of them. Generally, the proletariat class of the Democratic Party genuinely believes in socialism and harbors no malicious intent. What I am referring to, rather, is the elitist class that powers the Democrats’ movement in America.

To gain the respect of modern “progressive intellectuals,” it seems one must be a terrorist and an enemy to America. Such “intellectuals” will frequently liken the president to Adolf Hitler, call him evil, claim he is an unelected despot, wages war for financial gain, and is essentially the enemy of man. However, they praise unelected dictators in other nations as “selfless, moral,” and among the world’s “wisest men,” to quote what Oliver Stone once said of Fidel Castro. They love dictators–particularly Muslim and communist dictators–while hating America, individualism, capitalism, and anyone who seeks to preserve these American conceptions of freedom. Those at the top of the modern liberal hierarchy look essentially more like a group of foreign nationals than representatives of America………
