U.S. now only 2 states away from rewriting Constitution
Progressivism
OffSite
A public policy organization has issued an urgent alert stating affirmative votes are needed from only two more states before a Constitutional Convention could be assembled in which “today’s corrupt politicians and judges” could formally change the U.S. Constitution’s “‘problematic’ provisions to reflect the philosophical and social mores of our contemporary society.”

Obama, Fate, and the Politics of the Expedient
Politics
mi
Like many other cherished traditions, America’s guardedly dormant skepticism towards its felicitously inefficient political apparatus is rekindled on a quadrennial basis. Yet Americans still resign themselves to casting their greatest aspirations upon the brittle shoulders of politicians. In turn, the latter go on to pledge their commitment anew to the same old promises they will faithfully continue to break. This ancient storyline gained formidable mass appeal when it was cleverly exploited by the Barack Obama campaign strategists.

How Socialist Politicians, Legislating Judges and A Leftist Media Defeated “We, The People”
Progressivism
Jack L. Key
I suppose it really began in the mid 1930’s when Franklin Roosevelt was elected President and started his “New Deal” political escape from the throes of the world-wide “Great Economic Depression.” (Which, by the way, was nothing like the current “bail-out” farce being played out on the American people - last count $975 Billion - with another “stimulus amount” yet to come).

Obama Begins Suppression of the Media - and more
Police State
Sher Zieve
Even before the 2008 US presidential elections Barack Obama, his campaign and supporters have begun their constraint of the press. Chillingly, the leftist Obama media - which includes all of the usual suspects both print and television - are not only going along with it but, have begun their own investigations and vilifications of their colleagues who have refused to drink the Obama Kool-Aid. Obama’s latest victim is Investigative Reporter Barbara West of Orlando’s WFTV who asked Democrat VP Candidate Joe Biden some probing questions; questions that had, prior to that, not been asked of either the secular messiah Obama or his vice prophet.

America Does Not Need A Weak, Timid, President
Elections
J. D. Longstreet
I came across something President Dwight Eisenhower said a few decades back. He said: “History does not entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid.” When Ike said it. . . it was profound. It is even more profound, if that is possible, today.

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
Judicial Activism
Roxanna Moser
Yet another quote from The One showing why we should fear his presidency and judicial appointments. “. . . the Warren court wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers.” The Supreme Court, nor any other court, is supposed to “break free from the essential constraints” of the Constitution. To do so is to reduce the Constitution to nothing more than a starting point for doing anything.

McClatchy Whines: Public Unfair to News Media
MSM
Warner Todd Huston
You… yes, you reading this right now. McClatchy wants you to know you are mean to them, your mistrust of them is merely egged on by a sly political tactic, and you fall for it because you only get your news from an “ideologically tailored” source. In other words, they are telling you that you are misinformed, mean-spirited, easily led… well, they are telling you that you are stupid. And then they wonder why people don’t trust them!

DON’T PANIC!
Elections
Alan Caruba
"The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” was best known for the two words on its cover, “Don’t Panic!” Of course, when you have Vogons wandering around destroying entire planets to make way for galactic highways it’s hard to remain calm.

Larry King Live: Jesse Ventura, Actor D.L.Hughley Call Republicans ‘Nazis’
Politics
Warner Todd Huston
It always comes down to this one, doesn’t it? Leftists and fringe politicos calling Republicans “Nazis.” Well, the “N” word was once again unleashed against John McCain’s Republican Convention on September 2 during CNN’s Larry King Live show. Actor D.L. Hughley and Independent former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura both went for that shopworn epithet as King discussed the Convention.

Let’s Take A Look At Campbell Brown’s Family
Politics
Dave Gibson
A few days ago, CNN anchor Campbell Brown went on a very personal attack against Republican Vice-Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds was giving Brown an interview, when she decided to place the focus of the conversation on the Governor’s 17-year old daughter Bristol, who is pregnant.

Some Speeches are Better Than Others
Elections
Alan Caruba
Some speeches are better than others. Sen. Barack Obama knows how to deliver a speech, but his acceptance speech was familiar stuff to anyone who has been listening to politicians as long as I have. Permit me a bit of cynicism because sometimes it allows you to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Obama Campaign Tries to Shut Down Chicago Radio Show
Progressivism
Warner Todd Huston
Members of Barack Obama’s campaign HQ in Chicago tried to shut down a local radio show on the City’s most powerful radio signal, WGN 720, because they didn’t like a conservative guest that was on going on the air to discuss Senator Barack Obama’s ties to local terrorist William Ayers. This is a shocking attempt at stifling political free speech and a bald attempt to quash debate by the office of the Democratic Party’s nominee. The funny thing is, WGN is the most liberal station in the City with every host but one slavishly supporting the junior Senator from Illinois.
