• John Kerry Says He’ll Filibuster Supreme Court Nominees Who Oppose Abortion

Pickler, Nedra. “Kerry says he'll filibuster Supreme Court nominees who do not support abortion rights.”  San Francisco Chronicle (AP). June 20, 2003.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Friday that he is prepared to block any Supreme Court nominee who would not uphold the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

As far as I know, there is nothing in the Constitution, Federal laws, or the Senate rules that prohibits this. Instead of whining, the Republicans should reciprocate when the Democrats nominate extreme Left-wingers. This should tend to moderate the Federal courts.

Peterson, Karen S. “Study links depression, suicide rates to teen sex.”  USA Today. June 3, 2003.

The Heritage study taps the government-funded National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health. The Heritage researchers selected federal data on 2,800 students ages 14-17. The youngsters rated their own "general state of continuing unhappiness" and were not diagnosed as clinically depressed.

The Heritage researchers do not find a causal link between "unhappy kids" and sexual activity, says Robert Rector, a senior researcher with Heritage. "This is really impossible to prove." But he says that study findings send a clear message about unhappy teens that differs from one portrayed in the popular culture, that "all forms of non-marital sexual activity are wonderful and glorious, particularly the younger (teen) the better," he says.

This article does not contain the word “race.” If the reports of black illegitimacy are correct then black adolescents should be the most sexually active. If there was a direct link between adolescent sexuality then black adolescents should have the highest incidence of suicide.

Unless there is a higher suicide rate among sexually active black adolescents then there must be more factors involved.

Yardley, Greg. “50 Years Later: Rosenberg Redux.”  Wall Street Journal. June 4, 2003. p .

Less than a century ago, the U.S. Congress, responding to pressure from its constituents, voted to start collecting taxes on people's income.

Many Americans, especially small-business owners, farmers, trade unionists and people who lived in the Midwest, West and South, cheered the new tax. Finally, with this new tax, they might get some relief from their financial struggles.

This article fails to point out that Abraham Lincoln’s income tax was unconstitutional and that high tariffs were a Republican policy that were one of the causes of the Civil War.

• Thomas Sowell on Eric Hoffer

• Dems Hypocrisy on WMD’s: Slick Said They Had Them When He Was Prez

Although Eric Hoffer was perhaps at his zenith during the 1960s, he was completely at odds with the pious cant and slippery evasions of that rhetoric-ridden decade, whose tragic consequences are still with us today.

…

Since the American economy and society advanced with little or no role for the intelligentsia, it is hardly surprising that anti-Americanism flourishes among intellectuals. "Nowhere at present is there such a measureless loathing of their country by educated people as in America," Eric Hoffer said.

…

Eric Hoffer never bought the claims of intellectuals to be for the common man. "A ruling intelligentsia," he said, "whether in Europe, Asia or Africa, treats the masses as raw material to be experimented on, processed and wasted at will."

Next, look at the most glaring example of their hypocrisy over WMD. On December 19, 1998, President Clinton said that regime change was needed in Iraq because of the presence of WMD. Hussein admitted he had WMD programs at least twice in the decade of the 1990s, and signed agreements promising to dismantle these programs and present proof that he had done so. Wouldn't it be nice if the Democrats explained why they were cheerleading for Clinton's WMD charges back then, but not for Bush's today?

…

If the Left gives a damn about human rights and not just shouting in the streets over unreconciled daddy issues, they need to look around the world. The U.S. may not be utopia, but the human rights abuses throughout the Middle East make ours not even worth mentioning in the same breath. …

…

… Never have so few shouted so loud over so little.

DETROIT — Two Arab immigrants accused of gathering intelligence on potential targets from Disneyland to an air base in Turkey were convicted of conspiring to support Islamic terrorists Tuesday, the first guilty verdicts involving a "sleeper cell" uncovered after Sept. 11, 2001.

A third man was found guilty only on a fraud charge, and a fourth was acquitted of all counts.

Surgeon General Richard Carmona said Tuesday that he supports the banning of tobacco products — the first time that the government’s top doctor and public health advocate has made such a strong statement about the subject.

Testifying at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on smokeless tobacco and "reduced risk" tobacco products, Carmona was asked if he would "support the abolition of all tobacco products."

"I would at this point, yes," he replied.

Is Carmona a Clinton appointee? If not, why is an allegedly conservative administration doing promoting nanny-state fascism?

As men died on battlefields, the homefront simmered with anger and newspapers fanned the flames. Then, a new conscription law led to civil discontent. The year, 1863; the President, Lincoln. Blood flowed in New York City streets when riots erupted into the single most violent outbreak of urban unrest in American history. TV G

A good documentary. Among other things it mentions that during the Civil War The New York Times was an anti-South Republican newspaper.

It also mentions the concept that a strong central government could threaten individual rights. Duh, this is what the Ninth and Tenth Amendments were intended to prevent.
