The liberal world vision and reality are often at variance, for example,
with equal pay for equal work. I've often watched "Lockup," a show that
features California supermax prisons, including Pelican Bay and
Corcoran. Often, a recalcitrant prisoner must be extracted from his cell
through brute force. I've never seen female guards remove a prisoner.
If they are part of the process at all, it's to videotape the ... MOREWalter E Williams: Liberal Suffering And Confusion
The liberal world vision and reality are often at variance, for example,

Credo of the government bureaucrat. Once in a while, a government agency adopts a policy that is
logical, hardheaded, based on experience and unswayed by cheap
sentiment. This may be surprising enough to make you reconsider
your view of bureaucrats. But not to worry: It usually doesn't
last. In March the federal Transportation Security Administration . ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Obama's Secret Gun-Running Program
Introducing BENGHAZIGATE. Liberals don’t want honest Americans like you to have guns. Liberals
just want to arm foreign rebels in crapshoot attempts to “end global
violence.” But liberals feign ignorance when the rebels they arm end up
being criminals who kill innocent Americans like the late U.S.
Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. ... MORED. Brown/B. Grey: The NY Times Endorses U.S. Police State
More bootlicking from the mainstream media. The New York Times published an editorial Monday that not only endorses last week’s police-military lockdown of Boston, but suggests that it was entirely consistent with democratic procedures. In “How to Handle a Terrorism Case,” the Times makes the absurd argument that the operation ... MOREWashington State Castrates Frosty The Snowman
by Mark J. Perry. OK, I might have exaggerated a little bit with that headline and the Frosty photo above. But not by much, and only because Frosty probably doesn’t appear in any state statutes. But a new manpersondate in the state of Washington that legally bans any gender (aka male) bias in state statutes will replace “penmanship” ... MOREA Triumph Of Privacy Over Unwarranted Police Prying
by Ronald Bailey. My Gmail inbox has over 151,000 messages in it. I am an electronic pack rat afraid that I might delete just the email I may some day want to read or re-read. But there’s a drawback to my correspondence collection: Many government agencies believe that they can demand to peek, without my knowledge, at any of my ... MOREMissouri Gun Control Nullification Bill Passes
Will not allow feds to run roughshod over Constitution. As gun control legislation stalls in Washington DC, Missouri is taking matters into its own hands. Known as the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” House Bill 436 passed
the Missouri House of Representatives 117-43. If the bill becomes state
law, it will nullify new federal gun laws. It would prohibit ... MOREJohn C. Goodman: Guns, Bombs And Government
More hollow rhetoric from the ruling class. If you ever doubted the inability of the federal government to protect you from harm, events of the past few weeks should have been a clincher. While Congress was dithering about a background-check-for-gun-buyers bill, President Obama was out on the hustings — in full campaign mode — trying to gin up ... MOREWashington Cops Defy Judicial Order To Return Marijuana
Cops not content to enforce the law; want to decide it. Police in Tacoma could soon be in real trouble over pot. The department could be found in contempt if they continue to refuse to return a small amount of marijuana seized from a man after a traffic stop. Municipal Court Judge Jack Emery repeated an order to police Thursday to return the ... MORECops Sued For Illegally Ticketing Alerting Drivers
There is no law against warning others of speed traps. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the Ellisville Police Department Wednesday morning. The lawsuit claims the Ellisville police have been illegally ticketing drivers that flash their high beams to other drivers to warn them about speed traps. ACLU legal Director Tony ... MOREGovernment's Food Stamp Outreach For Illegal Aliens
Sneak passed go and collect $200. The Department of Agriculture, via the Mexican government, assures potentially ineligible immigrants that they can still apply for food stamps on behalf of their eligible children without giving information about their immigration status, according to documents released Thursday by Judicial Watch. The Daily Caller ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Boston And Freedom
Defining moments. The government's fidelity to the Constitution is never more tested
than in a time of crisis. The urge to do something — or to appear to be
doing something — is nearly irresistible to those whom we have employed
to protect our freedom and to keep us safe. Regrettably, with each
passing violent crisis — Waco, Oklahoma City, ... MOREPaul Shlichta: Choice Of Weapons
The gun grabbers forgot about this one. The advocates of gun control seem to believe that, by restricting or eliminating private possession of guns, all violence can be eliminated. However, recent events have tragically demonstrated that would-be assailants have a wide choice of weapons, including knives, explosives, automobiles, ... MOREBrian Witte: Pot Legalization Will Not Deter Drug Czar
The will of the people be damned. The nation's drug czar said Wednesday the legalization of marijuana in Washington state and Colorado won't change his office's mission of fighting the country's drug problem by focusing on addiction treatment that will be available under the federal health overhaul. Gil Kerlikowske, director of the ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Immigration Gambles - Part II
Whose interests are immigration laws supposed to serve -- and whose interests do current immigration reform proposals actually serve? In order to have any immigration policy serve any purpose, the border must first be secured. Otherwise American immigration policy exists only on paper, and is mocked by what happens on the ... MORE
