War and Peace - The
reason nobody asks Obama to rush forward is everybody knows that he's
likely to get everyone killed. The word's out. For Pete's sake, just
let him play golf. It's safer that way.

After the SWAT
team broke down the door, they threw a flashbang grenade inside. It
landed in my son’s crib. It’s been three weeks since the flashbang
exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he’s still covered in burns.
There’s still a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs. At least that’s
what I’ve been told; I’m afraid to look, says Alecia Phonesavanh in
this article, A SWAT team blew a hole in my 2-year-old son (Update), at Salon.
Excerpt - I used to tell my kids that if they were ever in trouble, they should go to the police for help. Now my kids don't want to go to sleep at night because they're afraid the cops will kill them or their family.
Americans can no longer rely on the courts to
mete out justice in the police state being erected around us. A review
of the Supreme Court’s rulings over the past 10 years, including some
critical ones this term, reveals a startling and steady trend towards
pro-police state rulings, says John Whitehead in this article, The U.S. Supreme Court Is Marching in Lockstep with the Police State, at The Rutherford Institute.
Dispatch from the front
- In 2008, Al Qaeda in Iraq was on the run and its leaders were being
killed off one by one. Now that same organization is besieging Baghdad
under a terrorist leader released by Barack Obama.

SWAT as Mafia -
When black-helmeted men circle your home, break down your door, throw
your children from their sleeping beds onto the dew-ridden lawn, and
shoot you 22 times because some meathead mistook your house for a drug
dealer's, it's clear government has gone from protecting you from
threats to becoming a threat itself.

Army of occupation -
Historians looking back at this period in America’s development will
consider it to be profoundly odd that at the exact moment when violent
crime hit a 50-year low, the nation’s police departments began to gear
up as if the country were expecting invasion... The ACLU reported recently that SWAT
teams in the United States conduct around 45,000 raids each year...
Were the military being used in such a manner, we would be rightly
outraged.

Dose determines toxicity-
One immigrant is a contribution. 30,000,000 immigrants are an invading
army. Next time Speaker Boehner, Sen. Rubio, or Rand Paul take out their
hankies about the deficiencies of our system, keep that in mind. What
they say about immigration is a sign of the sickness of otherwise smart
people. Patriots in days past didn't fret about broken "systems." They
fought invaders and threw them the hell back and out.

1986 - The
conclusion, conveyed with great authority by several big-league
climatologists from government and private research organizations, is
terrible: by the year 2000, the atmosphere and weather will grow warmer
by several degrees and life—animal, plant, human—will be threatened. The
experts say that melting ice caps, flooded cities, droughts in the corn
belt and famine in the third world could result if the earth's mean
temperature rises by a mere two or three degrees.
