Libertarian Vacationers Demand Their Subsidies by Gary North

Rated Sep 30 • 2 reviews • liberties, fairness, limit government, gooferment, tax revolt • lewrockwell.com

From the page: "Don and Herman can see the majestic vistas of the national parks on their vacations. But they cannot see the losers: heirs of confiscated land and taxpayers who do not vacation at the parks. Bastiat was right in the mid-nineteenth century. This is the fallacy of the thing not seen. It is a powerful error, especially when it afflicts those lifting the wallets of the non-land-grabbers whose taxes fund the land-grabbers."

From the page: "By all accounts, however, this is the most far reaching interpretation of the Commerce Power ever adopted by a majority, exceeding the reach of the past champion, Wickard v. Filburn. But even the six Justices in the majority did not say that Congress had the power to mandate you grow a plant in your back yard. Do you think a majority would find that power today? "

Mr. Obama Punts on Seeking a New Detention Scheme

Rated Sep 27 • 1 review • politics, fascism, leftists, presidental, obama • washingtonpost.com

From the page: "If the administration's abdication is irresponsible, the reaction of the civil liberties community has been breathtakingly hypocritical. The American Civil Liberties Union has consistently opposed any indefinite detention regime and pushed for detainees to be charged in federal or military courts or released. So we wouldn't expect them to join us in criticizing Mr. Obama for failing to seek a new legal regime. But it is odd that the same policy which, when pursued by the Bush administration, constituted "thumbing its nose at the Constitution" and putting a "stain on America's name at home and abroad" now elicits nothing but a few measured tsk-tsks.

In From the Cold: What Did the President Know?

Rated Sep 26 • 1 review • politics, fake outrage, foreign policy, obama, timing • blogspot.com

"Disclosure of the Qom facility suggests that Tehran selected its course long ago. That reality begs some rather inconvenient questions, for the current and previous occupant of the White House. Exactly when did we discover the Qom complex, determine its function and elect to persist with pointless diplomatic efforts? The answers to those questions would be instructive, since they illustrate the folly of our policy toward Iran and its nuclear program."

From the page: "The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality."

Non-union, salaried workers shafted in U.S. deal with GM...

Rated Sep 20 • 1 review • politics, healthcare, corruption, unions, bailouts • thehill.com

From the page: "The Delphi Corp. workers who worked for decades for GM have been segregated â€" some represented (union workers) and some non-represented (salaried worker-engineers, accountants and clerks). The task force and Treasury decided that the union workers†healthcare and pensions would be saved, but not the salaried workersâ€."
