Occupy Oakland, violence optional

Occupy Oakland activists have filed a lawsuit against the city and are seeking damages. The American Civil Liberties Union-backed suit argues that protesters are engaged in “peaceful expressive activity” and that Oakland police have used “excessive force” that has inflicted “mental stress” on activists. The lawsuit also complains that police have not warned activists sufficiently before dispersal orders. Thus, Occupy protesters “did not have an opportunity to gather their belongings and leave the camp without ... ... Read More

Obama’s war on religious liberty

Welcome to the real ObamaCare, whereby a handful of leftists in Washington, D.C., impose the views of their big-money donors on more than 300 million Americans. If the Obama mandate for contraception remains intact, then liberals will next demand that Americans pay for other objectionable items that are not really medical care. ... Read More

President Obama punts on US deficit

In February 2009 — having signed into law his $787 billion stimulus package — President Barack Obama made a pledge to the nation. “Contrary to the prevailing wisdom in Washington these past few years,” the president noted, “we cannot simply spend as we please and defer the consequences to the next budget, the next administration or the next generation.” Obama already had noted that he’d “inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit — the largest in our ... ...

The Kennedy has no clothes

Valentine’s Day is probably not the day most people would pick to remember the marriage of John and Jacqueline Kennedy. But on Feb. 14, CBS spent more than eight minutes recalling how it was the 50th anniversary of CBS’s “historic” TV tour of the White House with Jackie. They brought on liberal historian Doug Brinkley to proclaim “50 years ago on Valentine’s Day, she became America’s sweetheart, and 50 years later, she still is.” ... Read More

Another fleeting failure for NBC

Super Bowl XLVI was a good football game, marred once again by the bohemian elite at NBC. NBC could have prevented, but failed to stop, the broadcast of a female rapper “flipping the bird” at 114 million viewers during Madonna’s halftime show. It was another “fleeting expletive” of the hand-gesture variety, and somehow, despite elaborate rehearsals, no one at NBC could seem to stop it. ... Read More
