America delivers retribution at the tip of a spear, or more specifically, a Navy Seal’s bullet. Turns out this was a bit of foreshadowing by the president: Sullivan adds this: The more I hear the more Obama seems very close to this over the last few months: in weekly meetings, deeply involved in five national [...]

H/T: ThinkProgress What could possibly be the rationale behind blocking this bill? Other than sticking your chest out to prove you can, I don’t see what conservatives have to gain by this. Shockingly sad–especially for the party that considers themselves patriots.

Wow. I’m not quite sure where I stand on this. Firing Juan Williams for an honest thought about something a lot of people felt and/or feel sets a pretty ludicrous precedent. At the same time, it can’t be too comforting to Muslims–or other Americans–who’ve faced the brunt of some vicious vitriolic prejudice over the years. [...]

Think Progress makes the case in the affirmative: Newsweek reveals the most concrete evidence yet that this campaign is serving to bolster support for Islamic radicalism abroad. In an interview with the magazine, a Taliban operative going by the name Zabihullah said that, by “preventing this mosque from being built, America is doing us a [...]

UPDATE: McCrystal has been relieved of command. As President Barack Obama prepares to meet with General Stanley McChrystal, it’s worth noting the circumstances surrounding one of the most ridiculous acts of insubordination–and abject stupidity– ever exhibited by a commander during wartime operations. The General’s behavior makes his staying aboard a toxic deterrent to the overall [...]

I sat riveted in my chair for a good 20 seconds before I realized this was one of the most futile exchanges I’ve seen in a while. Debating whether or not American citizens should have Miranda rights is anathema to American ideals. Throwing the baby out with the bath water. I’m amazed that conservative fervor [...]

“Now, the president, with all the vast nuclear experience that he acquired as a community organizer and as a part-time senator, and as a full-time candidate, all that experience, still no accomplishment to date with North Korea and Iran.” Sarah Palin, speaking at SRLC, April 9th, 2010 President Obama is hosting 47 world leaders in [...]

I’m, for one — I know it’s not politically correct to say it — I believe in racial and ethnic profiling. I think if you’re looking at people getting on an airplane and you have X amount of resources to get into it, you get at the targets, and not my wife. And I just [...]

Liz Cheney’s ridiculous outfit Keep America Safe should investigate this: It turns out that among the many high-profile lawyers who have represented so-called “terrorist detainees” is a top attorney with Rudy Giuliani’s firm, Bracewell Giuliani, according to court documents examined by TPMmuckraker. Bracewell Giuliani Attorney Carol Elder Bruce, a distinguished white collar litigator, is listed [...]

Who is Vernon Hunter? I wouldn’t have known the answer to that question if it weren’t for a few dedicated writers. They decided to spotlight the real hero of last week’s domestic terrorist attack against an Austin IRS building. Vernon Hunter was a father. He was a husband. He was a Vietnam veteran, who was [...]
