I have been out of pocket for a health care lung transplant
re-eval at the VA last week. And fighting a touch of the flu. Just back on the
computer to over 800 e-mails, many of which I will have to delete unread.
Sorry.
Still a lot of interesting links I was able to pull. Muslims
who didn't get the "Islam is a religion of peace" memo were
apparently very active while I was off line. ~Bob

6 Reasons Why States Should Continue to Oppose Obamacare:
States can block many of the law's worst provisions and most troubling
consequences. By Peter Suderman
Excerpt: Over the past year, 34 states have decided against
implementing some, or any, parts of Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges—and
with good reason. As Cato Institute Health Policy Director Michael Cannon
argues in his recent paper“50
Vetoes: How States Can Stop the Obama Health Care Law,” states have the power
to block many of Obamacare’s most troublesome provisions and consequences
simply by refusing to participate in the implementation process. Cannon’s paper
provides an array of reasons why state legislators should resist the law. Here
are six:
Greed Is Green: How the Profit Motive Helps
the Environment. By Pierre
Desrochers
Excerpt: Yet, as documented in several studies, our
environment has paradoxically gotten cleaner and greener as we have become
wealthier. These counterintuitive results are typically conveyed through
inverted U-shaped “environmental Kuznets curves” (EKCs) that document how
emissions and/or concentrations associated with several pollutants first rise
with economic development, but then fall as income exceeds a threshold level
(Figure 1). (How have non-Capitalist societies done with the environment? ~Bob
.)
Can Wind ‘Compete’
without Subsidy?
Excerpt: The first witness, Frank Rusco,
director of energy and natural resources for the Government Accountability
Office, summarized his March 2013 GAO report on federal financial support for wind
energy. Rusco testified that nine agencies administer 82
programs providing $4 billion in financial support to the wind industry in 2011
in the form of grants, loans, loan guarantees, and tax expenditures (targeted
tax breaks). Some wind projects received support from seven initiatives, Rusco
found. (No, but it competes well for Obama's Green Crony Capitalism handout.

Excerpt: One person was stabbed in the stomach and another
was stabbed in the head and arms as they tried to defend themselves. As Ly
looked for a third victim, a 47 year old man with a conceal carry permit saw
what was happening. He pulled out his gun and told LY to drop the weapon or he
would shoot him. Ly complied and dropped the knife and was subdued by Smith
employees. (Couldn't they have just declare it a "knife free

Excerpt: Critics view the academic detailing project as a
conflict-of-interest because it allows the federal government — which has an
incentive under Obamacare to keep health care costs low — to guide doctors
toward choosing cheaper generic drugs for their patients. Pfizer CEO Ian Read
strongly agreed with remarks calling the program a conflict of interest during
the question-and-answer session at the annual Pfizer shareholder meeting
in Short Hills, New Jersey

Excerpt: Planned Parenthood received $542 million in federal funding in 2012.
“[N]o matter how great the challenge of opposition,” Obama told the crowd,
“Planned Parenthood is not going anywhere.” “It’s not going anywhere today,
it’s not going anywhere tomorrow.” (It's going to continue its mission to
prevent more of the unfit [minorities] from being born. ~Bob.)
7 Things Every Moderate Muslim Should Believe. By John Hawkins
Excerpt: So, let's shoulder past both political correctness
and "Islamophobia" and have a real discussion about "moderate

a lot; so isn't it about time that someone actually takes a crack at defining
what it means? As a non-Muslim, I consider someone to be a "moderate
Muslim" if he....

Obama's scrub of all
mention of Islam from counterterror training materials under fire after Boston
Excerpt: CAIR deserves some credit
for this -- they mounted a huge campaign in 2010 to have me dropped as a trainer of FBI
agents. Others responsible for the politically correct scrubbing of
counterterror training materials of any mention of Islam or jihad include
hard-Left pseudo-journalist Spencer Ackerman, who published a series of
"exposes" of "Islamophobic" counterterror training; Fatima Khera, who wrote a letter to John Brennan demanding
that this material be removed; Brennan, who readily acquiesced to this demand;
and Salam al-Marayati, who piled on in the mainstream media. They
got what they wanted: the scrubbing of counter-terror training materials of the truth about Islam
and jihad. Now in Boston

Excerpt: With the revelation that Syrian President Bashir
al-Assad has used chemical weapons on his people, folks on both sides of the
aisle are wondering if Barack Obama will keep his word that this is the red
line that if crossed would require American action. On Fox News's Special
Report, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said Thursday, "What’s at
stake here is whether anything that this president now says is believable
around the world. (Never was, doc. ~Bob.)

Massive Fraud At USDA In Pigford; Breitbart Vindicated. By Joel B. Pollak
Excerpt: The New York Times reported Friday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) has likely enabled massive fraud in the Pigford series of legal
settlements, in which black, Hispanic, female and Native American farmers
have claimed to be victims of past discrimination. The cost of the settlements,
which could exceed $4.4 billion, is the result of a process that "became a
runaway train, driven by racial politics, pressure from influential members of
Congress and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees,"
the Times notes.

It’s Time To Do Something About Knives. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Most people don’t think about knives at all. They
don’t think about knife culture. They don’t think about what’s wrong with a
society that allows anyone to buy a set of Japanese ceramic knives that claim
to be able to cut through bone faster than any other knife on earth for only
$29.95 plus shipping and handling. They don’t think about the knives until the
knives come after them.

Domestic terrorist
who hoped to "kill as many as possible" says he targeted group
because SPLC listed it as a "hate group"
Excerpt: The SPLC, the well-heeled propaganda machine
that smears conservatives for cash, is an integral part of the
ongoing Leftist effort to demonize and destroy legitimate conservative voices
-- like our American Freedom Defense Initiative, which they also classify as a
"hate group" -- by lumping them in with the likes of the KKK. The
SPLC turns a blind eye to the real hate that comes from the Left and Islamic
supremacists, and offers with its hate group listings not only an incitement to
violence, but a handy tool that lazy Leftist mainstream media journalists use
to try to intimidate people away from supporting our message of human
rights.

Excerpt: More than 100 crucial gauges that warn of imminent
flooding or lack of needed water will be shut down starting next month as part
of the federal government's automatic budget cuts. Some are in the nine states
threatened with spring flooding, U.S. Geological Survey officials said in
interviews with The Associated Press. In rivers where flooding is imminent,
such as near Fargo, N.D., officials are scrambling to keep needed monitors
working and make the cuts elsewhere. (Well, you wouldn't want to cut something
important, like White House celebrity concerts, fighter jets for the MB or cash

George W. Bush is smarter than you. By Keith Hennessey
Excerpt: One of my students asked “How involved was
President Bush with what was going on?” I smiled and responded, “What you
really mean is, ‘Was President Bush smart enough to understand what was going
on,’ right?” The class went dead silent. Everyone knew that this was the true
meaning of the question. Kudos to that student for asking the hard question and
for framing it so politely. I had stripped away that decorum and exposed the
raw nerve. I looked hard at the 60 MBA students and said “President Bush is
smarter than almost every one of you.”

Big Sis: Obama Admin
Can Pick Which Laws to Enforce
Excerpt: During her testimony on the “Gang of Eight”
immigration bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared that she, President
Barack Obama and other political officials at the top of this administration
have the authority to decide which laws to enforce, and which ones to ignore.
(The idea that executives can pick and choose which laws to enforce
utterly flies in the face of the whole concept of a nation of laws. This is
intolerable arrogance, plain and simple, from someone who is not remotely
embarrassed to make such a claim. Democrat, Republican, Independent, makes no
difference. This is an attack on the basis of our society. --Del
Napolitano: Yes, we

more of an interest in Tamerlan? Second, notwithstanding America ’s “frosty” relations with Russia , since when is U.S.

and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a

Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him” (Sahih Muslim 6985).
