Republicans Or Democrats: Who's Really Out Of Touch? by Larry Elder
Excerpt: The next best thing to calling a Republican "racist," "sexist," "homophobic" or "Uncle Tom" (where appropriate) is to call him "out of touch." Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the latest wealthy Republican to be called "out of touch." The proof? Why, he offered to bet rival Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The amount offered was — gasp — $10,000!
Documents Reveal Coordination Between ACORN Affiliate and Justice Department Voting Section
Excerpt: Judicial Watch has done it again. It has produced–following a Freedom of Information Act request filed with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ)–documents that suggest extensive coordination and communications between the DOJ Voting Section and former ACORN affiliate Project Vote. Project Vote appears to be directing DOJ resources toward particular states; is having meetings with DOJ staff; and is even recommending lawyers to work in the Justice Department Voting Section that will oversee the 2012 presidential election.
Paul Ryan moves away from controversial Medicare reform plan
Excerpt: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is moving away from his controversial plan to end traditional Medicare, putting forward a new proposal with Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) that would keep the federally funded program in place. The plan, which Ryan and Wyden plan to unveil Thursday morning, would give Medicare beneficiaries a choice between today's Medicare and private health plans. Ryan’s first Medicare plan would have converted the entire program into subsidies for seniors to buy private insurance.
Private Policing Options for the Poor
Excerpt: Protection against criminality is a traditional function of government. Where government fails, however, people often turn to the private sector. The need for private security is greatest for low-income families, since they are victimized by crime more often than other income groups. All too often, however, regulations price low-income families out of the market for private protection, say Kai Jaeger, a graduate student at Duke University , and Edward P. Stringham, the Lloyd V. Hackley Endowed Chair for Capitalism and Free Enterprise Studies at Fayetteville State University
Worth Reading
Excerpt: Climategate, both 1 and 2, are textbook cases of gross lapses in professional ethics and scientific malfeasance. To understand why, one must first understand what science is and how it is supposed to operate. … Climategate parts one and two are a series of leaked e-mails from arguably the most prominent researchers promoting the idea that humans are causing catastrophic global warming. The e-mails show the scientists involved to be violating their professional ethics with the result that climate science in particular and science as an institution more generally is brought into question.
Criminal Code Is Overgrown, Legal Experts Tell Panel
Excerpt: The federal criminal code has grown so large it ensnares everyday citizens who have no idea they are violating the law, a bipartisan group of legal experts told a House panel Tuesday, says the Wall Street Journal. There are about 4,500 criminal statutes, says Edwin Meese, attorney general under President Ronald Reagan and now with the conservative Heritage Foundation. "This is in addition to over 300,000 other regulations that don't appear in the federal code but nevertheless carry essentially criminal penalties including prison," he says. (And for some laws, like anti-trust, the only way to know if you are in violation is for a court to rule. ~Bob.)

It's Time to Kiss the Tax Code Goodbye
Excerpt: Ready for a new year and another bout with the Internal Revenue Service, deductions, exemptions, pens and pencils, calculators, receipts, 1040s, W-2s, accountants, Quicken, TurboTax, and more? If you're like most Americans, that laundry list of income tax jargon, paraphernalia, professionals and their fees is enough to set your head spinning -- and even if it isn't, the thought of paying Uncle Sam your annual dues will certainly do the trick. America
Phony fracking fears for NY By Robert Bryce
Excerpt: Opponents of gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing in New York got a boost last week when the EPA issued a draft report that found that chemicals used in gas wells may have contaminated a shallow-water aquifer in Pavillion , Wyo. Wyoming case as cause for New York Wyoming bears little resemblance to how drillers would tap the Marcellus Shale, the vast formation that stretches from New York to Ohio and West Virginia
The Hundred Years' German War
Excerpt: Millions of terrified Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, Portuguese and other Europeans are pouring their savings into German banks at the rate of $15 billion a month. A thumbs-up or thumbs-down from the euro-rich Merkel now determines whether European countries will limp ahead with new German-backed loans or default and see their standard of living regress to that of a half-century ago. (…) The worries in 1989 of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President François Mitterrand over German unification -- that neither a new European Union nor an old NATO could quite rein in German power -- proved true.
Labor’s ‘occu-tools’ How union’s using port riots By Michelle Malkin
Excerpt: Scruffy progressive protesters locked themselves together across railroad tracks, blocked traffic and shouted profanities at police on Tuesday in a coordinated “West Coast Port Shutdown.” Truckers lost wages. Shippers lost business. This is what the Occupy Wall Street movement calls “victory.” Aging Big Labor bosses toasted one another from the sidelines as they declared the “rebirth of the labor movement.” But what’s really going on is an old-school power grab by a decrepit union.

Commander in Creep: Got a friend who backs Obama? They have a list of people like you. By James Taranto
Excerpt: Somewhere along the line, somebody signed us up for the Barack Obama campaign emails. Normally we don't care for spam, political or otherwise, but these are so odd that we've kept them coming out of curiosity. Some of them have a stalker-like quality, plaintive yet vaguely menacing in their persistence, such as the one we noted in September titled "James, can we meet for dinner?" If you don't like it, you can always unsubscribe. But now the campaign is turning the creepiness up a notch. The Obama re-election effort has "asked supporters to make a campaign donation 'inspired' by somebody else," reports Joel Gehrke of the Washington Examiner.

More on Iranian Cyberplot, Plus Plans to Close Straits of Hormuz
Excerpt: In Venezuela , Hugo Chavez denied all the allegations and claimed the cyberplot was a fabrication by the U.S. Iran Strait of Hormuz ," said Parviz Sarvari, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee. "If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure." (This seems to be growing rapidly. Have you ever noticed that often, when you catch someone with their hand in the cookie jar when it shouldn’t have been there, they are more angry with you for catching them than you are with them for their attempt? That could be the situation here. Being a bully is a state of mind independent of physical size, so smaller people or countries can be bullies, too. And, bullies are always angry and resentful when thwarted. At least until you’ve beaten them convincingly. Ron P.)

Taking Newt Gingrich’s Ideas Seriously
Excerpt: And then there’s Newt Gingrich. Newt generates so many new ideas – he develops more firmly-held political convictions before breakfast each morning than Romney’s had his entire life – that it’s tempting to view them as essentially random. But there is a method to the madness. Setting aside for a moment Gingrich’s personal attributes, let’s look at his ideas, with particular attention to two recent interviews he did – one with Ben Domenech, Brad Jackson and Francis Cianfrocca at Coffee and Markets, the other with Glenn Beck.

Oh, by the way, how many on Welfare (or related programs) are Illegal Aliens? Did they ever look at Government services that few people ever use? NO--They did it because they can sensationalize this, and know it will hurt more people --Dave)

If Tim Tebow wins the Super Bowl, his followers will burn down mosques
Excerpt: "My Tim Tebow Problem," by Rabbi Joshua Hammerman for Jewish Week, December 12 … If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants.

Dem Senators Say 1st Amendment Doesn't Protect 'Fraudulent Speech'; Bill Would Outlaw Misleading Election Info
Excerpt: Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) have introduced legislation that would make it a federal crime to publish false or misleading election material in an effort to prevent people from voting. The law, the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2011, would bring federal criminal and civil penalties to anyone who intentionally puts out false information in an attempt to dissuade or prevent people from voting. The law only applies to false information published 90 days before a federal election and only to information regarding voting eligibility and the time and place of elections. (Who could possibly be “against” such a noble cause as preventing “fraudulent speech” in elections? Obviously only those planning to speak fraudulently, right? But, as with most of the left’s brilliant schemes to revoke or diminish our rights, there is a problem. Who decides which speech is fraudulent? Incumbents? People appointed by incumbents? Elected officials? Local boards of censors? Editors from publications and TV? This is a well-disguised power grab that will create more problems than it solves. When Abraham Lincoln was accused of being both illegitimate and half-black (or half-Jewish, in some regions) during the election of 1860, he managed to win anyway because he had better ideas and more people trusted him than trusted the biased reports. Does anyone really think such a law would be evenly enforced? But, it would provide a nice, legal-sounding way to remove people saying uncomfortable things from the political marketplace, wouldn’t it? Ron P.)
Not All 'Protesters' Created Equal
Excerpt: …less obvious, is Time's disregard for the individual protester whose cause does not hew to the progressive party line. I have gotten to know several of these people well. Up close, through their travails, I have been able to see just how media bias shapes not only the fate of the protesters, but also the flow of history. As might be expected, Time Magazine did not choose to cite the one serious protester who served real jail time in 2011. That would be Lt. Col. Terry Lakin. Unknown to Time readers, Lakin spent five months in prison at Fort Leavenworth

Terrorist attack survivors outraged by White House guest
Excerpt: Survivors of a 1996 terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen are offended that an Iraqi official with ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was welcomed to the White House this week. “Outrage at the visit to the White House really doesn’t describe what I feel,” said William M. Schooley, who survived the June 25, 1996, bombing of the Khobar Towers. “I watched outstanding airmen die that night and witnessed horrific carnage. The survivors of Khobar Towers have been swept under the rug and now have received the greatest insult,” he added.
