I don’t know, posting pictures sometimes just doesn’t work. Anyway here is the link:
I think everyone should refer to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama II as people always refer to Dr. Paul as Ron Paul, I don’t see why his full name should not be used and it may make people less likely to vote for him.
Barack Hussein Obama II reminds me of Mr.T who name is B. A. Baracus
No 1st Amendment in the UK:
21-year old jailed for tweeting offensive comments about a black football player moments after he suffers cardiac arrest at a match.
Not the first time something like this has happened either. A 17-year old football fan was jailed last year for singing a “sectarian” song. Link
And why are we interested in pro-peak oil stuff?
Race baiting congressman removed from floor (and CSPAN conveniently chooses a different camera angle)
This is a story from 2005, but it’s still a useful example of how the State will do whatever it can get away with…
If You Can’t Argue the Facts…
[…] Shortly after the report was completed, Morning News reporter O’Neill filed a written request asking for it to be released. It was denied. O’Neill has sources in the right places, however, and got a copy anyway. The District Attorney’s Office investigated how the reporter obtained the document but came up with nothing. Months later, attorney Dennis Lynch, paid $250 an hour by the county, said that the chief question is how the report got to The Dallas Morning News, though U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeff Kaplan wasn’t inclined to go along.
“I am not prepared to incarcerate any reporters” in order to find out what happened, he said.
Having abjectly failed to keep the report buried, the county then tried to prevent the plaintiffs’ lawyers from using its findings. After the plaintiffs’ lawyers included it in an appendix to their suit, Figari & Davenport filed a motion asking the court to restore the privileged nature of the jail study and prevent the plaintiffs from referring to it. On Friday, July 22, Lynch argued in federal court that the jail study was the “work product” of the county. Work product is a legal term that refers to the research, opinions and strategy of a lawyer or party in a lawsuit that is exempt from discovery. The jail study should remain confidential, Lynch argued, because it was prepared in response to the looming Mims case.
As an interesting sidenote, I recently saw the film Nothing but the Truth, which tells the story of a reporter who does end up incarcerated by refusing to reveal a source. It was incredibly angering. This story helps counter that…especially since this one’s true.
“178 countries have national laws guaranteeing paid maternity leave. The exceptions include Swaziland, Papua New Guinea and the good ole United States of America.”
You think discrimination against women in the workplace exists now…wait till the U.S. is taken of that exceptions list.
But equality! Surely the law of unintended consequences must bow down to equality!
law of unintended consequences? What the hell is that? Some new legislation they just rammed through Congress, I bet. Damn Republicans.
Some really incredible stuff by Ernst Juenger on the distinction between the Anarchist and the Anarch.

A good one: The anarch wages his own wars, even when marching in rank and file.
Awesome!

Jargon, that’s some interesting stuff from Junger. I’ve been wanting to read Storms of Steel for some time. The Wiki page for him places him as a pro-war crypto-fascist, but I’ve heard Storms of Steel actually paints a pretty good picture of making the reader anti-war.
For example,
Jünger glorified war as an internal event. According to Jünger, war elevates the soldier’s life, isolated from normal humanity, into a mystical experience. The extremities of modern military techniques tested the capacity of the human senses.
But then,
His vision in The Glass Bees (1957, German title: Gläserne Bienen), of a future in which an overmechanized world threatens individualism, could be seen as science fiction.
And,
One of his most important literary contributions was the metahistoric figure of the Anarch (sovereign individual), which evolved from his earlier conception of the Waldgaenger, or Forest Fleer. The anarch is Jünger’s answer to the question of survival of individual freedom in a totalitarian world. It is developed primarily through the character of Martin Venator in his novel Eumeswil.
