The full text of the EO is here. From Kenneth Schortgen Jr, The Examiner: Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry. During the Civil War, President Lincoln halted freedom of speech and freedom of the press, while at the same

Obama loves me! Michelle told me so …[Darleen Click]
This cult of personality thing just keeps getting creepier: From: Michelle Obama [info@barackobama.com] To: Darleen Subject: “I love you back” Darleen — I see this happen a lot: Someone in a crowd yells at my husband, “We love you, Barack.” That’s when he interrupts himself, smiles really big, and says, “I love you back.” And he does. That’s why Barack’s dinners with supporters mean so much to him — because

Well, now
If even center rightists are saying we’ve lost the debate on birth control, it must be so. Time to tuck our tails between our legs and fold up our nativity scenes, Jesushumpers. Our party has more pressing issues to address. Like the economy. And tax breaks. Not all this distracting godbothery nonsense (that may or may not speak to the very core individual and religious liberty concerns this country was

First Annual Andrew Breitbart Coming Out Day [guest post by Gene Alexander]
My name is Gene Alexander. I was motionview. I can no longer remain anonymous, in part because I have been outed, though the outing is surely even more obscure than the work I’ve been doing at Fire Fifty, Atheists For Santorum, and protein wisdom. More importantly, I have come to accept the reality that if we will not stand up publicly and say the true things we know about Barack

“Pornographic Politics: Did the Daily Caller ‘Pull a Media Matters’ on Rick Santorum?”
Of course they did. RSM: […] yes, Santorum promised “vigorous” enforcement to shut down operators who are profiting from commerce in illegal obscenity, and you may agree or disagree with that. But this isn’t an issue that Santorum raised during a stump speech yesterday or that is the subject of his newest campaign ad. THAT STATEMENT HAS BEEN ON SANTORUM’S WEB SITE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, PERHAPS FOR MONTHS. If you

Kafka goes to Middle School
When competing nannystate empowerment advocacies collide! In other words, a good way to take away the power of a bully is to learn to adopt the language of a bully — which you are allowed to use while he is not. — Which, if you think about it, quite perfectly matches up to, say, the Justice Department’s entire racialist worldview, and even more generally, the left’s entire concept of “civility”

Obama’s “in just a little over his head,” redux
And by “in just a little over his head,” I of course mean “knows exactly what he’s doing.” But I didn’t want to come across in the headline as unhelpful. From The Hill: President Obama’s 2013 budget would add $3.5 trillion to annual deficits through 2022, according to a new estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It also would raise the deficit next year by $365 billion, according to
