Excerpt: Now, the purpose of these tweets and emails is unmistakable: Nathan Lean was signaling to me that he thought he knew my whereabouts (and that of my family), despite my attempts to conceal them. And why would he want me to think that he knew where I was? So that I would be frightened into silence, afraid that one of his many violence-inclined allies might do me in if I continued to speak out for freedom and human rights. I therefore duly forwarded all these communications to the FBI, and they've informed me that they're keeping on eye on Nathan Lean.

State Department Website Morphs into the World According to Obama: The State Department is continuing to edit its website into a more Obama-centric story of the world. By Helle Dale
Excerpt: As reported by The Heritage Foundation’s Jim Roberts, the State Department three months ago changed the format of one of its better products, the country-by-country Background Notes to a format allegedly more in tune with the times. …With little or no fanfare (one might say with little or no warning), they were replaced in May with so-called Fact Sheets focused exclusively on current U.S. policy—i.e., Obama Administration policy….While the new format does indeed describe the current state of bilateral relations between the U.S. and the countries of the world, it does not reflect past relations and in no way contains the depth of information available in the well-written and detailed Background Notes of years past, now available only in archived form…

Worth Reading
Excerpt: It’s impossible to have a rational discussion about health policy when one side of the argument is irretrievably deceitful. Here are some things I find irritating, to say the least: A White House that claims the way to control health care costs is to follow “evidence-based” guidelines, doing only procedures that are cost effective. A White House that then uses taxpayer dollars to promote procedures that are not evidence-based or cost effective for blatantly political reasons. A sycophantic press corps and fellow-traveling health policy bloggers who either remain silent or actually apologize for this hypocrisy.

Worth Reading University of Pennsylvania Law School
Excerpt: No one doubts that the coming election will be the most important referendum on the size and nature of government in a generation. But another issue is nearly as important and has gotten far less attention: our crumbling commitment to the rule of law. The notion that we are governed by rules that are transparent and enacted through the legislative process—not by the whims of our leaders—is at the heart of that commitment. (If you hit a pay wall, Google the title. ~Bob.)

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/08/media_revives_the_bi-partisanship_con.html
Excerpt: Because what the Washington Post and their brothers and sisters in the dinosaur media really want when they make calls for "bipartisanship" and "a softer tone" is not for Democrats to move from the left to the center, but for Republicans, and Republicans only, to move toward the left. They want all Republicans to be "moderates" and vote for the Democrat's agenda.

Can we match the will and creativity that put Neil Armstrong on the Moon? By Benedict Brogan
Excerpt: Looking at it now, when the modernity of 1969 now seems so ancient, it is near unbelievable that a way was found more than 40 years ago, in John F Kennedy's words in 1961, 'of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely back to earth'. In his rare pronouncements since then Armstrong returned again and again to the theme of man's ability to do impossible things. Whatever the geopolitical motivations behind it, that moment of breathtaking optimism the world shared one night in July 1969 came about because politicians willed it, great minds bent to the task, and men of exceptional courage rose to the challenge.
