Promoting classical liberalism is one thing, but rooting for tyranny and central planning is a whole different breed of cat --- and historically, that "cat" usually targets the Jewish community first and foremost..

She was reportedly highlighted in the "Throw Them All Out" book for insider trading - she and her husband apparently cleaned up on Visa IPOs, this when there was relevant legislation on the burner.

Unfortunately, that bulletin continued a trend of "terrorist profiles" issued since Barack Hussein Obama has been in office. This particular alert identified such broad ideological characteristics that it can be construed to include the activities of tens of millions of law-abiding Americans. The FBI counterterrorism division report concluded that those who believe that our government has exceeded its constitutional limits or are protesting for restoration of constitutional integrity might pose a threat. By that definition, anyone associated with the "Tea Party movement" is suspect ..” Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:50:09 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2012/02/08/obama-weaponizes-doj-against-murdoch/#IDComment288410509 http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2012/02/08/obama-weaponizes-doj-against-murdoch/#IDComment288267099 Good points.

He shut it down when he realized the corruption wasn't just a couple of bad apples in management, but permeated most of the entirety of it, and he took a loss by just closing it down rather than recouping some of his money by selling the paper and letting someone else worry about it as most moguls would do. Murdoch is not the heavy in that scandal, he did the right thing at substantial cost/loss to himself.

Edgar Hoover circumvented (some of) Nixon's attempts to use the DOJ to "get" a foe: When Nixon instructed Hoover to launch a questionable inquiry, Hoover responded 'Yes, of course, Mr. President. As soon as you sign off on it...' and Nixon responded 'You need my signature? Oh, well, never mind...' (I use apostrophes as quote marks to indicate paraphrasing). I'm going from memory here, and I think but am not positive my source was either "Secrecy and Power" by Richard Gid Powers or "J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and His Secrets" by Curt Gentry.

It looks to me as though every Wisconsin citizen who voted for Governor Walker is being threatened with disenfranchisement by GAB (take your pick) corruption, incompetence and/or arrogance, and that the GAB refusal to take reasonable measures to rectify their gross negligence should pretty firmly establish their "Intent" to defraud those voters.

A year or so ago (2011 or 2010), I received a jury summons from Florida.

This just really sounds like the type of smarmy "friend" who would glad-hand and commiserate with you, drink your coffee, and bang your wife --- then run around and brag about it.

However, you can "taper off" of a sugar-overuse."addiction" with no difficulty, and the idea of a sin tax on sugar or, for that matter, a "sugar rehab program," is just plain silly.

I'm convinced that Newt, warts and all, is the best available, with the definition of "best available" including electable. While both Newt and Romney have a shot at the brass ring, I think it's doubtful that Santorum could draw many, if any, Independents or cross-over Dems, and Paul would not likely win a majority of Republicans, let alone Independents or Dems. Neither McCain or Dole were anywhere near the "best available:" Like Romney, they were the establishment darlings (and/or GOP placeholders to assure a Democratic Party victory), who would reliably put the political class - special interests first, country an afterthought, and us 'unwashed masses' on the yellow brick road to serfdom.

Actually, though, Cruzin77 is pretty much on the money. We all want the "perfect guy," and there's a real risk of letting the "perfect" become the enemy of the "best available." We may have a difference of opinion on which candidate is the "best available," but it's also every bit as important, if not more so, that we replace the congressional (both houses) RINOs with people seriously dedicated to restoring our Constitutional Republic.
