Dont Mute Newt

By Joel S. Hirschhorn

Think creatively and you will see how electing Gingrich president could accomplish the impossible: motivate Americans to rebel and overthrow the two-party plutocracy.

The War on Drug Addicts and Everyone Else

Maya Schenwar, Truthout: 'In at least 36 states, Republicans have introduced legislation requiring applicants to public assistance programs - including food stamps, unemployment benefits and heating subsidies - to pass a drug test before receiving help. They are selling it as a route to kill two societal ills with one budget-slashing stone. By erecting barriers to aid for all (and denying it to needy people suffering from addiction), these lawmakers claim they ll ameliorate both drug problems and economic hardship.'

Extension of Tax Cut Stalls in House as GOP Objects

Jennifer Steinhauer, The New York Times News Service: 'The deal slid off the rails abruptly on Saturday, just hours after the Senate vote, when House Republicans balked after being briefed about the terms by their leaders. Even a sweetener provision to speed the decision process for construction of an oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast could not mollify them. Mr. Boehner had called the provision a 'victory.'

Blackwater schönt seinen Namen

'Im Irak war die Söldnerfirma Blackwater für Massaker verantwortlich. Sie wurde zum Symbol für die Brutalität der Besatzung. Um den üblen Ruf loszuwerden, benennt die Firma sich jetzt um, schon zum zweiten Mal.Wer die Website von Xe Services aufruft, der glaubt inzwischen fast, bei Amnesty International gelandet zu sein. Von 'Integrität' ist da die Rede und von 'Würde', auf einem Bild hält ein Xe-Mitarbeiter sogar zwei dunkelhäutige Kinder an der Hand. Da könnte man fast vergessen, dass die Firma einmal Blackwater hieß und im Irak dafür berühmt wurde, zwischen Zivilisten und Terroristen kaum einen Unterschied zu machen. Wohl um die letzte Erinnerung auszulöschen, benennt die Söldnerfirma sich ein zweites Mal um. Aus Xe Services wird jetzt Academi...' afp-Meldung in der Frankfurter Rundschau vom 13.12.11 http://www.fr-online.de/politik/xe-services--blackwater-schoent-seinen-namen,1472596,11300742.html

Why a Constitutional Law Professor Should Not Sign an Unconstitutional Military Detention Bill

Ralph Lopez, War Is A Crime: 'There has never been a better time to take a close look at how we got here, with Obama, a former Constitutional law professor, about to sign a law ... where anyone can be swept off the streets by the military to rot forever, or even be killed.... You don t need to be a constitutional scholar to know that permanent wartime powers amounts to the overthrow of the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution.'

America is not a battlefield

Wrights 2012
by R. Lee Wrights

12/17/11

The United States is now a battlefield, not because of any invading army, foreign enemy, or civil insurrection, but by an act of Congress. In a shameful, disgraceful bipartisan vote on the 220th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, Congress passed a bill that essentially eviscerates the rights guaranteed in that hallowed document and guts the rule of law in our nation. Why should we be surprised?

Treason!

The Libertarian Enterprise
by L. Neil Smith

12/18/11

On Thursday, December 15, 2011, the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, members of the United States House of Representatives betrayed their oaths of office and voted overwhelmingly to follow in the felonious footsteps of their criminal accessories in the Senate, by attempting to pass the so-called 'National Defense Authorization Act.'... But why do you suppose I said 'attempting to pass' in my initial paragraph? Because one thing is absolutely certain: the NDAA is not the law, since it contradicts a higher law - the highest law of the land -- the first ten amendments of the Constitution, commonly known as the Bill of Rights...

Back in the USSA

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

12/16/11

With congressional passage of the new military-detention bill, and President Obama s unsurprising flip-flop decision to sign it into law, perhaps this would be a good time to review where we are as a country. We now live in a country in which the military has the legal authority to arrest or round up Americans (and non-Americans), place them into military dungeons or concentration camps, torture them, and keep them incarcerated for life without a trial. All they have to do is label people as terrorists...
