Personally, I think Obama’s not getting us involved in Syria Syria
Great Column: at George Mason. By Walter Williams
Excerpt: Ideas such as equity and equal opportunity, while having high emotional value, are vacuous analytical concepts. For example, I've asked students whether they plan to give every employer an equal opportunity to hire them when they graduate. To a person, they always answer no. If they aren't going to give every employer an equal opportunity to hire them, what's fair about forcing employers to give them an equal opportunity to be hired?
Marines, Corps Values, And The Exemption Clause? By Andy Weddington
Excerpt: Troublesome was the accused Marines, while in command, had been misbehaving all whilst conducting non-judicial punishment and referring to courts-martial Marines whose misdeeds had, for the most part, been far less egregious. A more blatant double-standard and destruction to unit morale escapes me.

Liberal Hypocrisy in Iraq and Syria
Excerpt: In a response with clear echoes to the beginnings of the Iraq War, Obama has refused Syria Iraq
I have to side with Assad on this one. We don't need to get involved in someone else's civil war again, especially since there are no good guys. We need to be pulling out of the middle east, not getting more involved. And Assad is right when he says failure awaits U.S. in Syria
U.N. team headed to site of alleged Syrian chemical attack comes under fire, turns back
Excerpt: U.N. inspectors attempting to visit the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack in eastern Damascus Bosnia
Excerpt: But there are problems with such a humanitarian intervention (well beyond the now stale assertions that Assad was a “reformer” in the eyes of our past and present secretaries of state, and worth visiting in the mind of Nancy Pelosi during the Iraq War, and worth talking to and engaging with in the 2008 campaign rhetoric of Barack Obama) — and unfortunately they are almost all of the Obama administration’s own making.
The Dangerous Global Consequences of a Syria
The elites are trying their best to drag us into a war. Some say it is natural because the Western economy is failing and that is how the elites solve problems. Indeed there does seem to be a repeating pattern. At any rate, we need to learn as much as we can about the people who want this war. The countries most frequently named include Qatar , Turkey , Israel , Saudi Arabia and the US
Pentagon Crafts Limited Strike Plans for Syria
Excerpt: The official said the military options developed for consideration by the White House are limited in scope and would be intended to “deter or prevent” the Assad regime from the further use of chemical weapons.

Op-Ed: Islamic Throwbacks are Erasing Civilization
Excerpt: "Dozens of churches were burned and destroyed in the largest attack on Coptic houses of worship since 1321", reports the Wall Street Journal about the latest persecution of Chris tians in Egypt. A symbol of Egypt Chris tian shops and homes have been marked by a black "X", while the Muslim buildings are marked with a red "X". (The “mark”…note the red and black symbolism, strutted by POTUS and FLOTUS on inaugurations, now by many black (and some liberal white) commentators, weather people…..How many times are we seeing red, black and red/black combinations in July and August, since the Zimerman trial? Like these were summer colors? Subliminal code, just like grabbing genitals and making gang signs… They don’t care about your civilization. No ovens necessary this time. Just as Fascist. –Barb)
Excerpt: We spend about twice as much as other developed countries as a fraction of national output. Yet our results are mediocre. Public and private spending is growing much faster than our income ― putting us on a course that is clearly unsustainable. It appears we are buying quantity instead of value. Outcomes vary wildly from state to state. And programs that target the poor seem to be backfiring instead. I’m speaking of course about…Ooops. Did you think I was describing health care? No. I’m describing our system of higher education ― making some of the same points that President Obama made the other day. Yet even the president failed to note the obvious similarities between the two fields.
Murder of Australian student Chris Lane
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2401616/Murder-Australian-student-Chris-Lane-22-motivated-race-says-district-attorney.html#ixzz2cxV2ZbOY It had previously emerged that Excerpt: Edwards had posted on his Twitter profile that he 'hated white people' and boasted that he beat up five white people - using the derogatory term 'woods' - after the George Zimmerman acquittal in the Trayvon Martin case. 'Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court!:) lol sh*t ima keep sleepin sh*t! #ayeeee,' he wrote. In another, he said: '90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM'. (Sure, not racial at all, and that “psychiatrist” who yelled to Allah as he killed and injured soldiers at Ft. Hood Chris tianity, Judaism, the 10 Commandments, the Bible…. We are talking Evil here.

Here Are the Two Teens Accused of Savagely Beating 88-Year-Old WWII Veteran to Death. By Jason Howerton
Excerpt: The Spokane Police Department has arrested a suspect and are searching for another in the brutal beating death of 88-year-old WWII veteran Delbert Belton. (Two kids beat an old man to death in a parking lot, and the reports have been filtering in about the tragedy. Here is the latest on the case, where the cops identified the kids from various camera recordings. But where are all the mainstream reporters, where are the major race commentators, where is all the rage being expressed by all those TV personalities? Somehow all absent. Again we are supposed to believe that media coverage of murders doesn't depend on what color the hand was that did the deed as opposed to what color the victim was? White on White, Black on Black, White on Black, not really news, but White on Black and stand back or the herd of reporters will trample you into the ground. --Del

Student Loans Will Haunt You To The Grave. Walter Russell Mead
Excerpt: We’ve devoted considerable space on this blog documenting the ways in which student debt prevents young people from beginning their lives as adults. A study from Demos, for example, finds that among college graduates, those without student debt are more likely to own a home and enjoy lower interest rates on their mortgages. But the effects of debt can also linger into older adulthood, even when the loans are paid off: the study found that debt-free grads build up a hefty $208 thousand more in wealth over the course of their lifetime.

BP colors. Gee, that’s why they need all the ammo. More fun than ovens. –Barb)

Special operators in the region tell Fox News that while Benghazi targets have been identified for months, officials in Washington
Excerpt: Some of our most liberal politicians are also some of the wealthiest Americans. I would ask the liberals and Wall Street Occupiers this: If the very champions of your ideology, redistributing the wealth, are also some of the most wealthy, why are you not demanding they put their money where their mouths are? Why do they insist on bleeding the working taxpayer who, depending where they live, are not getting wealthy on $200,000! How is it that your liberal champions chant the mantra of taxing the rich, but their own wealth never diminishes and they are always able to avoid the tax burden that we working stiffs face?

Now Egypt
Excerpt: The evidence is mounting that the military government currently ruling Egypt has decided to embarrass the Obama administration as part of a strategy to suppress Muslim Brotherhood activity in Egypt
Excerpt: These days, Obama and his fellow Democrats aren’t exactly bragging about ties between his party and the lobbying industry. But his administration, along with Democrats in Conrgess, have helped facilitate it all the same. The 2010 health care overhaul, in particular, has meant big business for well-connected lobbying firms—and numerous trips through the revolving door for the former administration and congressional staffers who can help make those firms even better connected still.

Obama’s Racial Imbalance. He professes outrage when there’s little evidence of bias against blacks, but ignores attacks on whites. By John R. Lott Jr.

The prosecution in his case produced no statements by Zimmerman showing any racial bias. Alas, most people didn’t have time to follow the trial’s day-to-day testimony, and obviously didn’t know that.

Excerpt: In the course of my adult life, especially in the State Department, I became aware of an interesting phenomenon when it comes to foreign affairs. Democrats prefer and advocate for U.S. intervention, including messy, bloody, military intervention, in places where there is little or, preferably, no US national interest at stake, e.g., Vietnam, Libya, ex-Yugoslavia. Find a place where there are US interests at risk–e.g., Panama , Central America , Iran , Cuba
