SAVANNAH, Ga. – Angry that the military planned to send him back to Iraq past his date to leave the military, a Fort Stewart soldier recorded a hip-hop song that blasts the Army and describes going on a shooting spree, an act that led his commanders to decide that the soldier posed a threat to his unit. The infantry soldier, Spc. Marc A. Hall, has been jailed on criminal charges in Liberty County, Ga., for the past month for a song and other statements that one of his lawyers insists were simply a form of protest. "They're saying it's a threat. We're saying it's a fantasy," said Jim Klimaski, a Washington civilian attorney who has talked to Hall about the ...

Does the Constitution Allow the Feds to Lock Up "Dangerous" People?

Does the Constitution Allow the Feds to Lock Up "Dangerous" People? Ken Klukowski Thursday, January 14, 2010 On January 12, the Supreme Court heard a case involving a federal law that empowers the federal government to keep dangerous people locked up after their prison sentences are over. Enough justices seemed skeptical, however, so the law may be struck down as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in U.S. v. Comstock. At issue was a federal statute providing that if the government deems a criminal whose prison term is about to end to be a “sexually dangerous” person, then they can continue to keep him confined—potentially for life. This ...
When Obama Gets Money From Banks, How About Giving It Back to Taxpayers?

When Obama Gets Money From Banks, How About Giving It Back to Taxpayers? Matt Towery Friday, January 15, 2010 No one is a fan of the big banks that took our money in a time of crisis and then turned around once things were getting better for them and passed out huge bonuses. Even if they paid the so-called TARP money back in full, did they pay the outrageous interest rates that the credit card companies charge the rest of us? So it probably seems like an easy lay-up for the Obama administration to hammer big banks by requiring that they make substantial repayments over time. After all, the government saved their rear ends when a crisis of severe magnitude developed seemingly overnight. ...

Charlie Mitchener is a 61-year-old general building contractor with an office near Patrick Lane and Fort Apache Road in Las Vegas. He holds permits allowing him to legally carry concealed weapons in Nevada, Florida and Utah. Over the past three years, his office has been broken into five times. "Three of those occasions involved me interacting with Metro," he wrote to me recently. "Each of the occasions began the same: my introduction, my presentation of my Nevada drivers license and my concealed firearms permit. Prior to today, each Metro officer simply replied thank you, proceeded with his work and then when complete there was a conversation about firearms." Things ...
Obama staffer wants ‘cognitive infiltration’ of 9/11 conspiracy groups

Obama staffer wants cognitive infiltration of 9/11 conspiracy groupsIn a 2008 academic paper, President Barack Obama's appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated "cognitive infiltration" of groups that advocate "conspiracy theories" like the ones surrounding 9/11. Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups. ...

Internal Memo To Top Dem Donors Warns Mass Senate Race Is “Very Tight,” “Urgent” In a sign of serious worry about the increasingly tense battle for Ted Kennedy’s seat, the Democratic National Committee and the Martha Coakley campaign have blasted a private memo to top national Dem donors claiming internal polling shows the race is “very tight” and making an “urgent” appeal for donations. The memo, which was sent over by a source, is the latest sign that the campaign surge of GOPer Scott Brown has caught the Dem establishment off guard. It admits that the mobilization by big national conservative groups for Brown is “working” and ...
Do Three People Have a Right to Marry Each Other?

Do Three People Have a Right to Marry Each Other? Terry Jeffrey Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Any inquiry aimed at discovering the nature of marriage must ultimately arrive at one of two conclusions: Either marriage is something with an absolute nature ordained by God and thus unchangeable or it is an artificial thing, created by human beings on their own authority, and thus changeable according to the whims of whatever members of the human race happen to gain the political power needed to define it for the rest of the species. If the first conclusion is correct, the rules of marriage are as inflexible as the rules of mathematics. Just as 1 plus 1 always equals 2, so must marriage always ...

The University of California Journal of Agriculture April, 1920 P. 18 A New Industry in California: The Production of Hemp B. R. Evarts The growing of hemp is comparatively a new industry in California. It has been grown for some time in other parts of the United States, and has reached most importance in Kentucky, where, in 1917, the area planted to hemp reached a total of 18,000 acres. Wisconsin was second at this time with a total of 7000 acres, while North Dakota and California were next, each with 5000 acres. In 1918, possibilities of the hemp industry in this state were shown by the production of 2500 tons on 4000 acres near Stockton. Hemp is also being grown quite successfully ...

ACLU sues on behalf of former govt prosecutor who spoke out about Gitmo trialsThe American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a former government prosecutor who was fired after he spoke out against the Obama administration's handling of Guantanamo Bay detainees. The suit alleges Col. Morris D. Davis was fired from the Congressional Research Service after he wrote an article and letter to the editor critical of Obama's continuation of the military commission trials started by President Bush. "Col. Davis has a constitutional right to speak about issues of which he has expert knowledge, and the public has a right to hear from him," said Aden Fine, staff ...

I. It is often forgotten how "legal" the Nazi regime in Germany really was. It did not take power in a violent revolution, but entered government through the entirely "legal" procedures of the time. The "legal" vote of the "legally" elected Reichstag gave Adolf Hitler the powers to rule by decree, thus imparting strict "legality" to the actions of his government. Indeed, there were several cases when those who felt the government had overstepped the bounds of law in a particular instance actually took the Nazi regime to court, and won. Why? Because the government was bound by "the rule of law." And the fact is, almost the entire ...

Geithner’s New York Fed Told AIG Not to Reveal Payouts on Swaps

Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, then led by Timothy Geithner, told American International Group Inc. to withhold details from the public about the bailed-out insurer’s payments to banks during the depths of the financial crisis, e-mails between the company and its regulator show. AIG said in a draft of a regulatory filing that the insurer paid banks, which included Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Societe Generale SA, 100 cents on the dollar for credit-default swaps they bought from the firm. The New York Fed crossed out the reference, according to the e-mails, and AIG excluded the language when the filing was made public on Dec. 24, 2008. The e-mails were ...

New York, NY, January 6, 2010 … In a brief detailing the "serious threat" of armed violence by extremists and extremist groups, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today urged the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure that states retain the right to reasonably regulate the possession of firearms by those who practice and preach racial and ethnic violence. "We have placed the problem of armed extremism squarely before the high court," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "Racist and anti-government extremists often have an obsessive fascination with firearms and have shown a willingness to engage in acts of shocking and often deadly violence. We urge the Supreme ...

Milwaukee man's honey shuts down California airport By Jesse Garza of the Journal Sentinel Posted: Jan. 5, 2010 A suspicious material found inside luggage that prompted the shutdown of a California airport Tuesday morning turned out to be five soft-drink bottles filled with honey, authorities said. A passenger's suitcase tested positive for TNT at Bakersfield's Meadows Field during a routine swabbing of the bag's exterior, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. When TSA officials opened the bag, they found bottles filled with an amber liquid, he said. "Why in this day and age would someone take a chance carrying honey ...

Syed Fahad Hashmi can tell you about the dark heart of America. He knows that our First Amendment rights have become a joke, that habeas corpus no longer exists and that we torture, not only in black sites such as those at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan or at Guantánamo Bay, but also at the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Lower Manhattan. Hashmi is a U.S. citizen of Muslim descent imprisoned on two counts of providing and conspiring to provide material support and two counts of making and conspiring to make a contribution of goods or services to al-Qaida. As his case prepares for trial, his plight illustrates that the gravest threat we face is not from Islamic ...
LEFT WING AND RIGHT WING: IT IS ALL A BIG LIE

The mainstream media – including Fox News, Limbaugh and the big-time that calls itself "Christian" – would have you think that the grand battle is between the left and the right. This is such a lie. Here are some examples. GW Bush outspent Clinton by $1 trillion per year and continued every last federal welfare program – and added a few of his own – and left-wingers hated him. Obama has continued all of Bush’s wars – and added a few more – and right-wingers hate him. Left-wingers say they support civil liberties, yet look the other way while Obama continues with the Bush surveillance state. Right-wingers say they support individual ...
GOP chief: Republicans 'screwed up' after Reagan

… By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jan 5, 7:37 am ET WASHINGTON – Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele offers a simple explanation for why the GOP all too often lost touch with typical Americans since the Ronald Reagan era: "We screwed up," he claims in a new book offering a blueprint for the party's resurgence. That "we" includes the last two Republican presidents and the most recent Republican candidate for president. In "Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda," released Monday by Regnery Publishing, Steele says the GOP should acknowledge where "we most glaringly compromised our ...

Democratic Payoffs, Er, Stimulus Mona Charen Tuesday, January 05, 2010 When a non-American scholar I admired let slip a casual reference to "American corruption" a few years ago, my chauvinistic pride was wounded. This isn't Mexico, after all, or even Italy, where bribes are the normal social lubricant. Still, an unsentimental examination of government dollars at work seems to confirm my friend's observation. A small example: The U.S. government has announced plans to spend $340 million on an advertising campaign to promote the Census, including $2.5 million for ads during the Super Bowl. Though the nation has been collecting this data for 220 years, it seems we now need ...

Scenario: You’re working hard at building your business. You come in early each morning, check your stock, arrange the shelves, sweep the floor, and get the till ready for what you hope will be another busy day. Things are going well when a man enters the store wearing a black suit coat and a fedora. He walks straight up to the counter not looking at any of the merchandise and he locks his eyes with yours. “Who is the owner here?” he asks. You reply that you are. He then proceeds to tell you that for the privilege of operating this business and for the protection he provides he demands that you pay him thirty percent of all the profit from your business. He further tells you ...

The Trappings of Right Wing Culturalism Richard Hoste January 2, 2010 In his book We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism, John Derbyshire lists three ways of looking at the world, making clear his preferences are with the third: religion, culturalism, and biologism. The religious viewpoint posits that mankind and what happens to it are the product of divine will. Culturalism proposes that differences between human groups are the result of differences in (vaguely defined) "culture" (or sometimes determined by geographical accidents like in Jared Diamond’s works). Biologism sees the world through the lens of an underlying human nature and biological differences ...
