Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
No! Sharyl Attkisson’s computer breached? Get OUT! ~ Seems there are definitely consequences for straying off the network news reservation ~
People at CBS — the news network that brought us Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and Katie Couric — seemed to feel that asking questions of the Obama administration was edging dangerously close to advocacy.
Now might be the time to consider this advice ~ ‘Quit Google, Facebook’ suggests tech expert as surveillance scandal deepens.
Syria Militants Massacre Christian Village Population (Graphic Images) ~ Oh look! These are the guys Obama wants to help fund with our tax dollars. Apparently he’s ready to actively support the Global Assault on Christians. Which shouldn’t surprise us considering the Commander-in-Chief’s hostility toward ‘anything religious’ in the U.S. Air Force and reports of Christian Soldiers Being Singled out for Punishment.
Liberals Prepare to Sell Out America’s Working Class ~ Ultimately, the Gang-of-Eight bill is anti-American; it will create a permanent underclass ~
The grand plans of business interests for a large increase in immigration may indeed increase the businesses’ income, but it will further expand the wealth gap as incomes for struggling workers will decline.
Ohio Shows ObamaCare Is Working As Intended ~ Less choice; higher cost.
The law forces insurers to provide more generous benefits than most do today. It limits co-payments and deductibles, bans lifetime limits, guarantees coverage no matter what, and requires the young and healthy to subsidize the old and sick.
The idea that you can do all this without raising insurance costs defies common sense and fundamental economic principles.
The Muslim hate preacher and the T-shirt salesman: a bizarre study in double standards ~ Sean Thomas at the UK Telegraph. Interesting contrast in worldviews. Speech is only “free” for some, here at the sunset of Western Civilization.
And finally, here’s a timely story ~ Feds Spending $800,000 to Teach Responsible Fatherhood – Doubly sad. First, that men have forgotten how to be fathers. And second, that the government – who has run the country nearly $17 trillion into debt – apparently feels spending $800,000 more to teach them how to be responsible (?!) will be an effective use of taxpayer funds.
