• Fair enough: Hasan charged with 13 counts of murder.
• TSA changes procedure after blowback for thuggery. I’ve never been abused by the TSA but yes, in the past 10 years the country has become a police state.
• Facebook proves boy innocent.
• Advanced Japanese WWII subs.
• Real power goes to those who pick producers’ pockets.
• The winds of change die down or new boss same as the old.
• The 50-year war.
• The Vietnam analogy breaks down.
• NYT to Obama: it’s unwinnable.
• A dangerous dream.
• Overseas insanity.
• Why most counterinsurgency wars fail.
• ‘Money’ requires no government.
• Obamacare is a devastating tax on the working class.
• Arms in defence of liberty.
• Killing individualism and individuals.
• The sleazy advocacy of a leading liberal hawk. And that’s not the real problem but rather that the left believe in starting wars for our own good on principle.
• Regardless of going about it all the wrong way because everything they were doing was based on what today can be regarded as outmoded crackpot science, Marxism has its heart in the right place: justice for the productive class. When Marxism identifies freeloaders on the backs of the productive worker, it sees it as its job to free the worker from the freeloader ... not burden the worker with more freeloaders. That is the exact opposite of what’s going on in what is seen as left-wing politics today, which claims to be the workers’ friend but burdens their productivity with taxes, regulations, and setting up workers to go to war against each other by dividing them into ‘unionized’ workers and ‘scab workers’.
• Snubbing Eastern European victims or the common-knowledge strip-cartoon version of history: like, Hitler was bad because he was, you know, intolerant but the Communists were idealists. The collapse of the Soviet Union apparently has not been all that welcome by Mr. Obama’s political base, the extreme Left Wing of American liberals. These folks have always had a soft spot in their hearts and minds for experiments in collectivism. Any anti-individualist polity is for these folks a progressive undertaking since by their lights humanity makes progress when it moves toward lumping all of us into a huge mass to be guided by the likes of Stalin, Hugo Chavez, or Fidel Castro, all of whom want to impose on it a one-size-fits-all way of life. So it is very likely that skipping the celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall was a calculated decision.
