When Dictatorship Came to America by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"Emison agrees that Lincoln's influence is tremendous, but writes that “America is haunted by Lincoln's blood lust for a coercive, dominant, unitary, unaccountable, debt-laden central government” whose principle function is “the plunder of society and the redistribution of wealth to the politically privileged elite [like the Cuomo family] and their collection of political sycophants [like Lincoln cultists] who help keep them in power.” In this regard, “the two major parties have become the party of Lincoln, each a metastatic twin of the other.” Abraham Lincoln “opened the door to the Leviathan central state that mandates, manipulates, and regulates virtually every aspect of life in America and seeks unilateral hegemony around the globe.”"

In Defense of Sedition by Thomas DiLorenzo
In Defense of Sedition by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"As I wrote in The Real Lincoln, the one unequivocal good that came of Lincoln's war was the abolition of slavery. But the worst thing that came of it — the thing that was the real purpose of the war — was the centralization of virtually all political power in Washington, D.C., and the essential death of the Jeffersonian system of states' rights or federalism that was the essence of the pre-war Constitution. After 1865, the federal government became the sole decision maker with regard to the limits of its own powers. It exercised this decision-making power through the federal judiciary and, as the Jeffersonians had always warned, it eventually declared that there were, in fact, no limits to its powers.
It didn't take long for the federal government to declare the idea of natural rights, the bedrock of the Jeffersonian philosophy of government, to be null and void. It did this by adopting the income tax in 1913, along with the creation of the vast legalized counterfeiting scheme known as the Federal Reserve. The income tax effectively declares that all earned income is the property of the state, and that the state will inform us from time to time how much of our own income we may keep to live on by setting the income tax rates."

The Declaration of Independence (Revised)
The Declaration of Independence (Revised):
"Again, this sort of rhetoric could be applied retroactively to the late unpleasantness of 1861—65. Strike it.
CONCLUSION
The revised version should be sent to every state department of education in the United States, warning all of them that if the revised version of this document is not presented in the textbooks they adopt for use in the state's public schools, then all Federal funding will be removed in the following fiscal year.
Now go out and enjoy the Fourth of July. Light a firecracker. Enjoy a Roman candle or two. Never forget: the Fourth of July is to the memory of American independence what Labor Day is to labor."

Understanding Online Radicalization: Facebook and Social Media
Understanding Online Radicalization: Facebook and Social Media: "The first two parts of this series covered the two primary website types that jihadists create to radicalize individuals, namely blogs and web forums. The third part of this series will focus on jihadi social media and how jihdaists use Facebook.
——————————————————-
“Islam can dominate, over the world, only by jihad,” says the very plain jihadi website realjihad.tk. It reminds readers that jihad doesn’t have stages, and that “lame excuses” like making a living shouldn’t stand in the way.
RealJihad lacks the sharp graphics, interactive chat rooms, and other tools used by more sophisticated jihadi blogs and forums. Despite this, it has a leg up on its competitors: it is one of the primary links provided on the Facebook page of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistani terror organization.
Jihadi radicalization occurs on a number of sites and is not limited to the dedicated sites, blogs, and forums commonly used by terrorist supporters. Jihadists exploit popular Western social media sites, like Facebook, to radicalize, build contact networks, and pass information."

ATF Hosts Its First 'Gay Pride' Observance
ATF Hosts Its First 'Gay Pride' Observance: "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under fire for allowing U.S.-purchased guns to flow to Mexican criminals, celebrated its first gay pride event on Wednesday.
The celebration at ATF’s Washington headquarters was intended to recognize the “accomplishments and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to ATF and the nation, and to promote awareness of the LGBT culture,” ATF said in a news release.
'ATF works to ensure sexual orientation discrimination and prejudice are not tolerated in our workplace,' said Acting Director Kenneth Melson. 'ATF is an equal employment opportunity environment where effective and equitable participation is encouraged.”
The keynote speaker, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), spoke about his experiences serving as an openly gay congressman.
ATF says it has created an LGBT affinity group called 'ATF Pride' with the primary goal of ensuring equal employment opportunity and enhancing development opportunities for LGBT employees at the agency."

F.B.I. seizes web servers, knocks sites offline
F.B.I. seizes web servers, knocks sites offline: "Instapaper and Curbed Network are among the sites hit, though the cause of the raid is unknown
The F.B.I. seized Web servers in a raid on a data center early Tuesday, causing several Web sites, including those run by the New York publisher Curbed Network, to go offline.
The raid happened at 1:15 a.m. at a hosting facility in Reston, Va., used by DigitalOne, which is based in Switzerland, the company said. The F.B.I. did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the raid.
In an e-mail to one of its clients on Tuesday afternoon, a DigitalOne employee, Sergej Ostroumow, said: “This problem is caused by the F.B.I., not our company. In the night F.B.I. has taken 3 enclosures with equipment plugged into them, possibly including your server — we can not check it.”"

Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution
Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution: "CNN contributor Fareed Zakaria argues that the Constitution is outdated and its principles should be “debated and fixed” to conform with the modern era. He suggests “a set of amendments to modernize the Constitution for the 21st Century.”
Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution archglobalist
Fareed Zakaria with arch globalist and notorious war criminal Henry Kissinger.
This is not the first time Zakaria has talked about ditching the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He recently told Charlie Rose that America is “parochial” and there are countries around the world that do things better than we do. See the video below.
Zakaria is a smart fellow. He knows the Constitution established bedrock principles that led to previously unimagined wealth and prosperity.
He also understands the average American knows almost nothing about the Constitution and certainly nothing about republicanism, liberty and inalienable rights. Far too many Americans know virtually nothing about classical liberalism, the ideal of limited government, and the unbridled liberty of individuals including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets."

Obama’s ineligibility: We now have elective despotism
Obama’s ineligibility: We now have elective despotism:
"We have elections, but we have no representation. Congress operates much like the Mafia, except the Mafiosi are not paralyzed with fear when someone calls them “racist” or “birther.”
A made man, also known as a wise-guy, is someone who has been officially inducted into the Mafia.
After the ceremony (election) the inductee (candidate) is then a made man and a full member of the Mafia hierarchy (Congress). The made man now enjoys the full protection and backing of the Mafia establishment (Congressional leadership) as long as he remains in favor (does what he’s told) and earns enough money (squeezes taxpayers), of which a percentage of his earnings are passed further up the hierarchy (kick-backs to buy votes for the next election).
Omert�is the Mafia “code of silence”.
Congressional Omert�is used when: Congress grants special privileges to itself, which ordinary citizens do not receive; to cover-up criminal wrongdoing or ethics violations and to circumvent the Constitution.
Politicians have been known to court the Mafia (unions, special interests, racial and ethnic groups) to obtain votes during elections. They usually repay this support with favors, such as sabotaging investigations or giving cash, contracts or permits.

President Ron Paul’s Likely Supreme�Court�Nominations by Walter Block
President Ron Paul’s Likely Supreme�Court�Nominations by Walter Block:
"My first nomination is of course Andrew Napolitano. As an ex judge, surely he has an inside track. I hesitate to mention him in this context because I see him more as a Vice Presidential candidate than a potential Supreme Court judge.
But, if Dr. Paul chooses someone else for that position, it is hard to imagine a better nomination than Andrew. There is also a sitting judge, U.S. Federal District Court of New Orleans, Martin Feldman, who is a personal friend of Judge Napolitano’s. Marty, who on October 12, 1983 was appointed United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana by President Reagan, is justly famous for lifting Pres. Obama’s deep water oil drilling ban in the Gulf Mexico.
One trouble with Judge Feldman for this purpose is that he is closer to the end of his career than to the beginning of it."

Michelle Obama to African youths: Yes, you can (at US taxpayer's expense): "Obama, who is traveling with her mother and two daughters, drew on the leaders of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the civil rights movement in the United States as an example for the younger generation to follow.
'It is because of them that we are able to gather here today... It is because of them that I stand before you as First Lady of the United States of America,' she said to applause.
'That is the legacy of the independence generation, the freedom generation. And all of you — the young people of this continent — you are the heirs of that blood, sweat, sacrifice, and love.'
Sixty percent of Africa's population is under age 25. And in South Africa, two-thirds of its people are younger than 30."

Pulling plug on privacy; How technology helped make the 4th Amendment obsolete
Pulling plug on privacy; How technology helped make the 4th Amendment obsolete:
"So why haven’t you heard about it?
Because you’re the murderer. We all are. Our weapon of choice? Most recently, the smartphone, which, with our collective blessing, allows law enforcement to monitor our real-time geographic location. Although a bill recently proposed by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., would require police to obtain a warrant before turning our cellphones into tracking devices, such legislation may come too late to save the Fourth Amendment from this fatal blow.
It started with the supermarket loyalty programs. They seemed innocuous enough — you just scribble down your name, number and address in exchange for a plastic card and a discount on Oreos. The problem, at least constitutionally speaking, is that the Fourth Amendment protects only what we reasonably expect to keep private. One facet of this rule, known as the third party doctrine, is that we don’t have reasonable expectations of privacy in things we’ve already revealed to other people or the public.
You would, for example, have a reasonable expectation of privacy for a photograph on your nightstand meaning the police would need probable cause and a warrant before taking a peek. But you lose that expectation of privacy when you tack the souvenir photo from Foamhenge on the office bulletin board to make co-workers envious."

Commie Bammy or Commie Rommy in 2012?Maybe it would be time to go Galt �Coach is Right
Commie Bammy or Commie Rommy in 2012?Maybe it would be time to go Galt �Coach is Right:
"Because if Romney is elected instead, the country is still going to go down in flames, but the climax of destruction will occur on Romney’s watch, allowing the Marxist media swine to convince the na�ve public that it’s all the Republicans’ fault.
However, if Obama were to be re-elected, then in future elections (at least a generation or two), the choices should be clear based on the utter destruction wrought by eight years of Obama and the Socialist Democrats. Hopefully after eight years of economic devastation our people would have learned their lessons and would choose prosperity over tyranny, at least for a while longer.
And what if the people want even more of the Socialist Democrats after eight years of terror and destruction? Then unfortunately for we who work and think and know better, the majority will deserve the government they select. But what about you and me, you say? Well, it would be a good time to start a new country within this country, I think. It would be time to select a few good states and migrate there en masse and take them over at the ballot box. Maybe it would be time to go Galt."

White House (Obama Administration) loosens border rules for 2012
White House (Obama Administration) loosens border rules for 2012:
"resident Barack Obama’s administration is quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, while aiming to win reelection by mobilizing a wave of new Hispanic voters, say supporters of stronger immigration law enforcement.
The new rules were quietly announced Friday with a new memo from top officials at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The “prosecutorial discretion” memo says officials need not enforce immigration laws if illegal immigrants are enrolled in an education center or if their relatives have volunteered for the US military.
“They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law,” said Kris Kobach, Kansas’ secretary of state. “At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law,” said Kobach, who has helped legislators in several states draft local immigration-related laws.

"So, come 2012 would you prefer four more years of Chicago Commie-thug politics or the lesser socialism of Mitt Romney?
Unfortunately, this is a germane question, and I suspect it may be on the minds of many thinking conservatives right now.
Suppose Romney does get the 2012 nomination. Then what? If he wins the Presidency, will Romney be Obama’s Reagan? Will Romney undo the damage Obama has inflicted on our great nation and steer us back to a prosperous and fruitful course? No, of course not.
Is Romney much different than Obama? Not really. Romney embraces the worst of Obammunism, including the Marxist fairy tail of global warming, as well as socialized medicine which redistributes medical care by taking from the haves and GIVING to the have-nots. Heck, Romney even helped invent Obamacare!"

“So glad I voted for him. Finally a president of which I can be proud,” wrote one commenter in response to the clip.

Feds look to regulate food similar to tobacco, with hopes of saving money on health care
Feds look to regulate food similar to tobacco, with hopes of saving money on health care:
"The federal government has a growing interest in the eating habits of Americans for the same reason it has an interest in tobacco consumption, said Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The reason is money, because three-quarters of medical-spending is driven by chronic diseases, such as obesity and tobacco-related diseases, she said.
Sebelius’ comments came at the tail-end of Tuesday’s White House press conference where officials showcased nine new photos that must be carried on cigarette packs. Officials used a survey of 18,000 people to find the images that would have the most distressing impact on groups of smokers, including young smokers and mothers of young kids.

America's New Racists by Walter E. Williams
America's New Racists by Walter E. Williams:
"Born in 1936, I've lived through some of our openly racist history, which has included racist insults, beatings and lynchings. Tuskegee Institute records show that between the years 1880 and 1951, 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites were lynched.
I recall my cousin's and my being chased out of Fishtown and Grays Ferry, two predominantly Irish Philadelphia neighborhoods, in the 1940s, not stopping until we reached a predominantly black North or South Philly neighborhood.
Today all that has changed. Most racist assaults are committed by blacks. What's worse is there're blacks, still alive, who lived through the times of lynching, Jim Crow laws and open racism who remain silent in the face of it."

"Today, 18 years after that 72- page report, returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are grouped with the Christian right and those who oppose the shari'azation of America, as threats to democracy.
From that perspective, it's no wonder the social progressive federal bureaucracy are arming themselves with government edicts as America's politicians sell their souls to the princes of industry and the barons of banking. They are both worried about the American people—and, perhaps, with reason."
Straight Talk From Top Enlisted Marine on ‘Don’t Ask’ Repeal - Washington Wire - WSJ
Straight Talk From Top Enlisted Marine on ‘Don’t Ask’ Repeal - Washington Wire - WSJ:
"“Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is pretty simple,” he told a group of Marines at a base in South Korea. “It says, ‘Raise an army.’ It says absolutely nothing about race, color, creed, sexual orientation.
“You all joined for a reason: to serve,” he continued. “To protect our nation, right?”
“Yes, sergeant major,” Marines replied.
“How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honorable and noble?” Sgt. Maj. Barrett continued, raising his voice just a notch. “Right?”
Sgt. Maj. Barrett then described conversations with U.K. troops, who saw a similar ban lifted a decade ago, with little disruption. And to drive the point home, he produced a pocket copy of the Constitution.
“Get over it,” he said. “We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everybody with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”"

Panetta confirmed as Defense secretary
Panetta confirmed as Defense secretary: "The Senate unanimously confirmed Leon E. Panetta as secretary of Defense on Tuesday, putting the Pentagon in the hands of a former Democratic congressman and budget expert amid growing political discontent over the cost and reach of President Obama's military engagements.
Panetta, who spent two years as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, will replace Robert M. Gates, who is retiring after serving in two consecutive administrations.
In a statement, Panetta thanked the Senate 'for the strong vote of confidence' and said he was 'deeply honored' by the 100-0 tally and the president's nomination.
His confirmation comes as Obama is poised to reveal his plan to reduce troop levels in Afghanistan, and as Congress is expressing frustration over the administration's stance on the U.S. military's role in Libya....

DHS Raids Social Security System and Zaps U.S. Workers – Again
DHS Raids Social Security System and Zaps U.S. Workers – Again: "The Department of Homeland Security has – yet again – decided to raid the Social Security Trust Fund and shoulder aside American college graduates from good jobs, as it announced today a twist on the use of the F-1 student visa to aid big business.
That, of course, was not the way the DHS publicists shaped their press release, which was, headed, innocuously:
ICE announces expanded list of science, technology, engineering and math degree programs Qualifies eligible graduates to extend their post-graduate training
It sounds like ICE is a university, offering courses to post-graduate students.
Maybe that's what ICE wanted you to believe, but what has happened, without congressional approval, is that the agency has decided to take presumably hundreds of millions of dollars from the Social Security Trust Fund, and to allow big business to save money by hiring recent foreign college grads, rather than hiring U.S. ones."

Terrorist-Linked ACORN Shill Brad Friedman Lies, Lies, and Lies Some More: "Left-wing pseudojournalist Brad Friedman thinks everything reported about ACORN is overblown. It's all a scheme concocted by a vast right-wing conspiracy. Clearly he hasn't read my book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers."
Oops: White House Corrects Job Creation “Laughter” Line in Transcript
Oops: White House Corrects Job Creation “Laughter” Line in Transcript: "In fairness, without being there, it's hard to know if the audience would have been reacting specifically to that line or to something else in the room, but the print pool reporter for the evening, Jen Bendery of the Huffington Post, tells FOX News that she did not hear laughter after that line.
Later Tuesday afternoon, the White House sent a corrected version of the transcript, noting the change.
'Over the last 15 months we've created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.) (Applause.)*, ' the release stated.
The Drudge Report, a news website with reads in the tens of millions, picked up on the error and had the headline up at the top of the site for a large portion of the day.
It's of course a small mistake, and minor in the scale of what the administration deals with, but no White House wants to be late-night-joke ready when trying to stay on message that the president is working hard on creating...."

Dick Morris Pro-Bachmann Bias Shows Twice/Pollsters: “If We Don’t Poll her, She Doesn’t Exist”
Dick Morris Pro-Bachmann Bias Shows Twice/Pollsters: “If We Don’t Poll her, She Doesn’t Exist”: "Update: As I stated earlier today (below), the Zogby poll I saw yesterday that did not include Palin popped up today and showed, SHOCK, that Bachmann “surges” into the lead. As I also pointed, this poll is 100% unscientific as anyone can sign up to participate in the poll and is not a “random” sample. It’s about as valid as a Bill O’Reilly internet poll. Previous leaders have included Herman Cain and Chris Christie. Michele Bachmann had 24% (yeeeaaah) ahead of Romney and Cain’s 15%."

The $450 Billion Glitch: 3 Million Extra Middle-Class Americans Eligible for Medicaid Benefits
The $450 Billion Glitch: 3 Million Extra Middle-Class Americans Eligible for Medicaid Benefits: "Wow. Philip Klein points us to this AP story, in which Richard Foster, Chief Actuary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, says that, due to a glitch in Obamacare, married couples of early retirees making around $64,000 a year will become eligible for Medicaid. According to Foster, as many as 3 million Americans will qualify for the benefit. It’s “a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.”
If we do a back-of-the-envelope calculation, in which the average annual Medicaid expenditure per early retiree is $15,000 per year, the ten-year cost of this glitch could be as high as $450 billion.

Mark Steyn on Free Speech - mine, his and yours
Mark Steyn on Free Speech - mine, his and yours: "Many flattering and supportive things were said by very fine speakers at the IPA function on Monday defending my right to free speech. I thank again Michael Kroger, Professor James Allan, David Kemp, Paul Howes and IPA boss John Roskam. I also thank again John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Ryan and others for sending their own messages of support. But of all that was said on the night and sent, Mark Steyn’s contribution was the one that brought down the house. I confess to being in awe of it - not just because I appreciate the compliment of having it come from probably the most brilliant columnist in the English-speaking world, but because it’s such a tremendous piece of writing.

Are Babies Dying Because of Fukushima?
Are Babies Dying Because of Fukushima?: "A recent article on the Al Jazeera English web site cites a disturbing statistic: infant mortality in certain U.S. Northwest cities spiked by 35 percent in the weeks following the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The author writes that 'physician Janette Sherman MD and epidemiologist Joseph Mangano published an essay shedding light on a 35 per cent spike in infant mortality in northwest cities that occurred after the Fukushima meltdown, and [sic] may well be the result of fallout from the stricken nuclear plant.” The implication is clear: Radioactive fallout from the plant is spreading across the Pacific in sufficient quantities to imperil the lives of children (and presumably the rest of us as well).
