Creating Enmity With Words
No, this is not about the shootings in Tucson — at least, not in any direct sense. This is about Rep. Peter King (R-NY) accusing Muslim-Americans (all Muslim-Americans) of being uncooperative with anti-terrorism efforts, of being disloyal Americans and, in fact, of not being real Americans at all when it comes to defending the United States: Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the new chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, has promised to launch a series of investigations of Muslim Americans be...

Muslim Bros. report record for arrests
CAIRO, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- More than 6,000 members and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were placed under arrest last year, which the group's lawyer said in Cairo was a record. The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition movement, was eliminated from the Egyptian government after Controversial parliamentary Elections in 2010. The group secured 20 percent of the seats in Parliament in 2005 by running as Independent Candidates. The group pulled out of the 2010 election, however, after it fail...

The challenge of Egypt and the Cairo effect
In surveying the first two years of President Obama's term from a Foreign Policy perspective, it's striking how naive his Cairo address in 2009 seems today in light of real developments in the Muslim world. As time gives us perspective on Obama's words, lauded by many in the American press and branded by the White House as the "Cairo Effect", we see that instead of successfully encouraging the Muslim World to "forget their evil ways and learn to love us" (as a future president once put it) inste...

A Memo to New Members
In my last column I was pretty tough on neoconservatives. It's only fair that I highlight it when one of them knocks the ball out of the park. That's what Clifford D. May--one of the progenitors of George W. Bush's Iraq policy, and later of the "Surge"--accomplished in his recent "Advice for new members of U.S. Congress." He offers incoming members of the 112th Congress "a very brief briefing" on the "global conflict" we face. It's admirable for its brevity and cogency. I will paste most of it...

Boehner Shuts Down Peter King Gun Control Legislation
I guess Rachel Maddow called me out, among other people, a bit for displaying a bit of cynicism over the possibility of Gun Control Legislation getting through Congress. I’m all for rallying the Troops with a “we can do it” Speech, but when I wrote that, I was thinking of this. The Speaker of the House, who sets the schedule, just does not support new Gun Control legislation, it seems. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is rejecting gun-control Legislation offered by the chairman ...

Rep. Peter King would surround himself with 72-acre Constitution-free zone
As Los Angeles Gun Rights Examiner John Longenecker has already discussed, Congressman Peter King (R-NY) has come up with a . . . novel approach to protecting, well . . . . himself, from the kind of sick, deranged lunatic who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and so many others in Tucson Saturday.  According to Politico, he wants to forbid Firearms carried by Private Citizens within 1,000 feet of himself and other "important figures" (who would include Congressmen Russ Carnahan and Will...

Peter King Unlikely to Get His Gun-Free Bubbles
Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images Republican congressman Peter King's proposed Legislation creating 1,000-foot no-gun zones around congressmen and other high-ranking federal officials doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Speaker John Boehner is flatly against it, and gun-control advocates don't expect any gun-control Legislation to be able to get through this Congress, much less one that, despite King's good intentions, would seemingly be impossible to implement.

Rep. Peter King only cares about Muslim extremists

Peter King (R-NY), who just became chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, says he will not widen the scope of his hearings on "Muslim Radicalization" to include non-Muslim Extremists. Last month, King announced his intent to investigate the "radicalization" of the Muslim community.

The ranking member of the committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), had, in the wake of the Tucson shootings, called for King to expand his investigation to non-Muslim Extremism as well.

Idiocy Repeated
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is set to propose Legislation that will make it illegal for any mere mortal to carry a firearm within 1,000 feet of our betters Congressman and other high ranking officials. King says “It would give Law Enforcement the weapon they need to protect federal officials, and just as importantly, it would provide a large measure of security for those who want to meet with their federal elected officials”. Of course, it’s just a shame others hadn’t thought ...

NYS CPPAC will be 1/31, Mark Steyn will keynote
Mark Steyn will be the featured speaker at the Conservative Party’s Political Action Conference on January 31 at the Holiday Inn in Colonie. The annual gathering is a must-attend for most Republicans seeking favor with the party, which often cross-endorses Candidates and provides winning margins in close Elections. In 2009, now-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, spoke at the gathering in an appearance that then-fueled thoughts of his gubernatorial prospects. Last year, Rick Lazio launched hi...

Oh, For Gods Sake! Now They Are Mad at Palin For Using the Phrase Blood Libel!
So as you saw in a previous point that Sarah Palin called this smear campaign against her a “blood Libel.”  And the chattering monkeys of the left started screaming against their cages.  How dare she?  Doesn’t she know that this is the sole and exclusive province of the Jews? The term blood libel is generally used to mean the false accusation that Jews Murder Christian Children to use their blood in religious rituals, in particular the baking of matzos for passov...

So not that I should be surprised that Andrew Breitbart would liken criticism to rape
But seriously? Sarah Palin is being criticized for using the term “blood Libel” in a statement casting herself and fellow Conservatives as Victims of the Arizona shootings, because liberals are mean when they say that violent Rhetoric can beget violence. Andrew Breitbart apparently decided to respond, tweeting: I used ‘blood Libel’ because I thought using analogy of lefties at pinball machine in Jodie Foster film ‘The Accused’ was too obscure. Oh fuck you. Fo...

Illinois governor to "reflect" before death penalty decision
"Anyone in Illinois who has an opinion, I'm happy to listen and reflect and I'll follow my conscience," Quinn told reporters. If he agrees to the ban, Illinois will be the First State since 2009 to abolish executions. The Illinois Senate voted for the ban Tuesday afternoon. The House had approved it last week. Quinn said the opinion of the members of the legislature is "very serious indeed." Illinois has not executed anyone for more than a decade after former Republican Gov. George Ryan imposed...

Involuntary Commitment and the Prison Population
We need legal reform to shift the balance in favor of protecting the community, especially against those who are armed and deranged. This means two changes in particular. First, those who acquire credible evidence of an individual’s mental disturbance should be required to report it to both Law Enforcement authorities and the courts, and the legal jeopardy for failing to do so should be tough enough to ensure compliance…Second, the law should no longer require, as a condition of invo...

A U.S. marshal's first impressions of prisoner Jared Loughner
Liberals and Conservatives who were hoping that Jared Loughner would speak out from captivity confirming or refuting suspicions about his motives in Saturday's massacre are going to have to wait a little longer. So far Loughner has been a man of few words, according to U.S. Marshal David Gonzales, who was interviewed by The Daily Beast. "I was with him Tuesday," Gonzales said. "He doesn't say much, he just sits in his cell with a smirk on his face, nothing else." Not a smile, just a smirk. ...
