From RR

• How to argue against torture.
• Obama: destruction of US health care ‘has to get done’.
• New boss same as the old: Pakistan objects to expanded US combat plans in neighbouring Afghanistan.
• More promises: Obama says US on track to quit Iraq in 2011.
• Obama’s free lunch is over.
• Charity with other people’s money. UN wants $4.8bn for humanitarian aid.
• As I was saying. Obama régime: no grounds to try war crimes in Afghanistan.
• Delaying the recovery.
• Thucydides’ law. ‘Power always expands to control what it can.’ Power of course in itself is not evil and sometimes necessary as Paul Goings and other Catholics point out; that said I think he and others can agree with me at least on minarchism that the smallest possible government that governs least governs best.
• Control minus responsibility equals disaster or it’s easy to waste when stealing and spending other people’s money.
• Get whitey. The funhouse-mirror version of charity (what PCness is to Christian ethics) that kids are taught in school. It’s racist; never mind the rubbish that historically oppressed people/protected classes are absolved of that. No collectivism of the right or the left.
• Preaching salvation by breaking car windows or the left can get bent. Self-righteous rich folk want to take affordable cars away from the poor; they can drive Priu$es and tell the rest to ride the bus and train, only going where they’re told to go.
• Destructive ‘social justice’.
