Nobody suggested Guerra's First Amendment right to be free from government censorship be taken away. Whenever a leftist says something crazy defenders claim pointing out the insanity amounts to a sub rosa attempt to get rid of the First Amendment. Here Mr. Dennett asked a couple straightforward questions, never hinted at government censorship, and got nothing in response but a misguided lecture on the First Amendment, which isn't relevant.
Meanwhile, progressives push to shut down talk radio using "diversity," reinstall a 'Fairness' Doctrine, try to chill and shut out Fox News, criminalize "stereotyping of Islam" at the UN, attack conservative speakers on college campuses, and attempt to co-opt the NEA into a new Ministry of Propaganda, among other similar actions.
Who's out to get the First Amendment?

The globe hasn't warmed since 1998, and the temperature spiked downwards in 2007 despite dire predictions by all the experts it was to be the "warmest on record."

We shouldn't destroy our way of life, economic system, and implement authoritarian world government based on a computer-modeled hunch which turned out to be wrong. We shouldn't to the latter on principle whatever the weather happens to be.
The SAME scientists went from ice age alarmist theories to warming Armageddon without losing their credibility, Science Reichsfuhrer Holdren being the best example.

Sorry for the double post. This is actually more appropriate here than Barr's piece on CARB. I think this administration will claim they already have the necessary regulatory authority for any so-called 'climate change' actions through the EPA -- no democratic process necessary whatsoever. The EPA is geared up for it.

Troops tend to vote Republican. Next Obama will cut all the unnecessary spending on ammo and gas. Oh wait, Congress already did that and replaced a few billion with pet pork projects. We could save billions on food, water, armored vehicles, and body armor. ACORN needs money, people!

Ideologues who oppose profit as a matter of principle are just the people who will bring our economy surging back and create jobs.

In Bizarro World!

"Any WMD he might have had back in the day, WE gave to him."

It's true that some US scientists provided Iraqi scientists some germ samples in the ordinary course of medical research supply business, not actual bioweapons as the story has been blown up on leftist websites. I've heard people claim the US turned a blind eye to the use of chemical weapons by Saddam. But otherwise you're wrong.

In case you haven't noticed, our bases in Saudi Arabia -- including "Prince Sultan" you refer to as "permanent" -- have been closed (as of 2003, try to keep up) and Al Qaeda is still attacking whenever and wherever they can.

I'll wager wine (or any intoxicant) is the only economic sector which needs no stimulus these days.

Now imagine, instead of spending nearly a trillion on pork projects, the Obama Administration cut the corporate tax rate (higher in the US than most of the world), allowed more domestic oil production (reducing the cost of everything, freeing up consumer spending, creating jobs), cut personal income taxes a bit, and cut back on some of the federal red tape businesses face to get anything done.

Anyone -- really -- think the funemployment rate would be up two percent above where they claimed it would max out with the 'stimulus' bill? If yes, please run to your nearest community college for a simple microeconomics course.

The Saudis invited the US to defend them during the first Gulf War when Saddam blitzkrieged through Kuwait on the way to the Saudi border where he began to build his forces. Eventually Saddam tried a three division armored probe with hundreds of armored vehicles including MBTs into Khafji.

Osama Bin Laden and his merry band of jihadis also offered their services in protecting the KSA, but were rebuffed by the Saudi king. Which is somewhat unfortunate because Saddam could have solved a lot of future problems by wiping out what would become al Qaeda. Of course he also would have controlled a big chunk of the world's oil.

So the simple answer to her question is, because the Saudis asked us for protection. Osama Bin Laden's objections (aside from being jilted by the Saudis) are based on the Quranic injunctions against having any infidels or kafirs near Mecca or Medina. So Jodie also favors religious apartheid.

I used to believe "the pen is mightier than the sword." But look at the many examples of authors, publishers, businesses, and politicians caving in at the most outrageous examples of Muslim aggression. From the patterns on shoes, Burger King ice cream cone packaging, the Archbishop of Canterbury for sharia, banning Geert Wilders or Michael Savage for merely having the guts to speak out, the recent UN resolution sponsored by the US and Egypt which could make 'stereotyping' Islam a crime, the famous cartoons, and most recently the book on cartoons having the *actual cartoons* edited out for fear of reprisal. No actual treat produced this latest act of craven appeasement. Sorry, but it appears to me that the Islamic sword is mightier than the cowardly western so-called elite.
