Jason Mattera shows just how marxist and quite frankly stupid the far left is, by just letting them speak.

Petition to abolish greed, abolition of private property and make the Communist Manifesto the new constitution and these leftist college students at a protest are eating it up, they love it. Kids do not leave high school like this.

Julie Limbaugh on her own intolerance & the intolerance of the left.

Julie Limbaugh has a piece at Salon.com. She is the lefty Limbaugh who admits that she doesn’t really listen to his show and hates Ann Coulter although while admitting that she has never read her books and hasn’t listened to her either. Julie also complains about the intolerance of the left and how she had to avoid leftist professors in fear of having them tank her grade just because of her last name.

Our friend RW Sparkle has a nice analysis piece that pretty much says what we were planning to say about the piece. So here is en excerpt of what Sparkle (who is a hugely popular and influential blogger) had to say; be sure to visit her site and see the rest:

Julie Limbaugh, Rush’s cousin has a piece at Salon.

It’s a well written piece where she whines about how she is treated as a “Limbaugh” by those oh so tolerant liberals who don’t even realize that she actually doesn’t’ agree with Rush (she wants to make that very very clear). How is she treated? Rudely, of course.

In her piece she accidentally reveals two things. One is that Rush is really the nice generous person those of us who do like him hope that he is.

Second, that she is a typical liberal. She hates Ann Coulter although she has never read any of her books or listened to anything she has to say. She bases it all on the media’s perception of Ann. At least Julie admits that and realizes this:

“And suddenly I realize that I have become the person I can’t stand.”

I am assuming the “person she can’t stand” is one who judges people before she knows them. One who is so closed minded that she cannot bring herself to actually listen to her cousin Rush on the radio, and maybe open her mind to the possibility that he might have some great ideas (but of course she listens to Jon Stewart).

Julie is a good writer and she realizes some of her flaws, but not all.

Bush deficits vs Obama’s – The Ship Is Sinking So Lets Add Water!

SOURCE: CBO, White House Office of Management and Budget | The Washington Post – March 21, 2009

Mona Charen, who is one of the finest thinkers alive, has the best column explaining this:

Let’s imagine that President Obama decides to go help out in Fargo, N.D., where they are experiencing floods. Mr. Obama enters the home of a flooded family. The water is already six inches high in the living room. The president produces a fire hose and begins to douse the room with even more water. “What are you doing?” cry the anguished homeowners. The president fixes them with one of his impatient looks, and explains “May I remind you that I inherited this flood?” 
 
President Obama has reminded us countless times that he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit. Even if he were about to propose the most responsible, prudent, visionary budget imaginable, that complaint would still be petulant and unseemly. But considering what Obama’s own spending will do to the deficit, it’s jaw-droppingly galling. He now proposes to increase that deficit to $7 trillion in ten years. And that $7 trillion is probably a low estimate (the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it will be $2.3 trillion higher). When the new spending for programs like Pell grants, education for handicapped children, and so forth comes up for renewal in a few years, Congress is not going to let it lapse. So, to review, it was terrible for President Bush and the Democratic Congress (the president neglects to mention the latter) to saddle him with all this debt. His answer is to triple it. That’s showing ‘em!

UPDATE – The WSJ has an update on the Republican budget alternative”

House Republicans will offer an alternative plan. This too is no ordinary budget. As the opposition party, we believe this moment must be met by offering the American people a different way forward — one based on our belief that America is an exceptional nation, and we want to keep it that way. Our budget applies our country’s enduring first principles to the problems of our day. Rather than attempting to equalize the results of peoples’ lives and micromanaging their affairs, we seek to preserve our system of protecting our natural rights and equalizing opportunity for all. The plan works to accomplish four main goals: 1) fulfill the mission of health and retirement security; 2) control our nation’s debts; 3) put the economy on a path of growth and leadership in the global economy; and 4) preserve the American legacy of leaving the next generation better off.

Under the president’s plan, spending will top $4 trillion this year alone, and consume 28.5% of our nation’s economy. His plan would mean a $1 trillion increase to the already unsustainable spending growth of our nation’s entitlement programs — including a “down payment” toward government-controlled health care and education; a $1.5 trillion tax increase to further shackle the small businesses and investors we rely on to create jobs; a massive increase in energy costs for families via cap and trade. Moreover, the Obama plan would result in an exploding deficit, a doubling of the nation’s debt in five years, and an increase of that debt to more than 82% of our nation’s GDP by the last year of the budget. This approach will ultimately debase our currency and reduce the living standards of the American people.

Senator Stevens walks, prosecutor misconduct. We predicted it months ago. – UPDATED!

We predicted this would happen on December 26 – LINK.

Prosecutors and attorney generals are politicians just like anyone else and if ruining someone gets you a chance to advance there is every incentive to do it. To get that conviction prosecutors and police and even the FBI are pressured, or in some cases all to willing to break the law in order to get that conviction, whether the accused is actually guilty or not.

As we told you on January 28 (LINK) one of the FBI agents in the case had a sexual relationship with a chief witness and they leaked to him secret grand jury testimony of other witnesses in order to “help” his testimony against Senator Stevens. The prosecutors were aware of it and decided that the judge and the defense didn’t need to know it.

As we reported Feb. 19 (LINK) the judge cited prosecutors in contempt of court for repeatedly violating the judges orders and the Justice Department finally removed the prosecutors from the case.

March 24 (LINK) we reported to you another case study in prosecutor misconduct from the Heritage Foundation.

Today’s news from Al-Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday moved to dismiss charges against former Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens amid accusations of prosecutorial misconduct, according to a motion filed in federal court.

Stevens, a Republican who served longer than any other U.S. senator before losing a November re-election race, was convicted in October of seven counts of lying on a Senate disclosure form to conceal $250,000 in gifts and home renovations from an oil industry executive and other friends.

Allegations of prosecutorial misconduct have delayed his sentencing.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reviewed the case himself and decided not to continue to defend the conviction in the face of questions about prosecutors” actions, National Public Radio reported on its website.

As our society continues to decline, lose its morals, history, and traditions the result is more and more lawlessness even from those most entrusted with it.

UPDATE II – A former US Attorney in Alaska has been trying to get the press to report the prosecutorial misconduct more, but he says that just would not listen (LINK):

Wev Shea, another former U.S. attorney for Alaska, said Wednesday he’s been trying for months to call attention to what he calls the corrupt prosecution of Stevens, but only got a forum for his views on the Alaska Dispatch blog and the Mike Porcaro radio show.

“I think the media coverage was totally disgraceful,” Shea said. “I am outraged and I am really frustrated.”

He said the Stevens case involves “the worst prosecutorial misconduct I’ve ever seen.” He said the FBI agents and prosecutors who did wrong should be fired, “and a close look should be made at prosecuting them.”
