1. "Remember During WWII When FDR Praised Japanese Enemy’s Religion?" More on Obama's Ramadan idiocy.

Representative Sample: “Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings”? Is this pandering fool kidding? As the loudest practitioners of Islam infest the whole of the world cutting off people’s heads, stoning women who’ve been raped, hanging homosexuals, spending millions of dollars world wide to sponsor terrorism, bombing people into oblivion and sponsoring riots to force their ideological desires on democratic societies one has to wonder

2. "Obama Administration Cracking Down On…Garage Sales?" There's no area safe from the encroachment of the nanny state.

Representative Sample: Big government types will defend this as a necessary move toward consumer safety. Because who can be against safety, right? And how did we ever manage to get along before we had the federal government regulating the safety of garage sale items?

3. "Render this" First rendition under Obama?

Representative Sample: The Obama administration has rendered its supposedly first alleged bad guy, "supposedly" because we obviously do not know whether there have been secret cases. The case involves naked photographs and allegations of food deprivation and other abuse. Bizarrely, the target is not accused of terrorism per se

4. "Why I oppose government programs" The superiority of the free market.

Representative Sample: Contrary to popular belief, those of us on the economic right do not advocate market solutions because we have some arcane faith in mythical powers of the market. We do so because they actually work better—even when they're politically unpopular.

5. "Mexico decriminalizes drugs …"Mexico actually does something positive for a change.

Representative Sample: The first recent drug policy action taken in the Western Hemisphere that actually makes sense. Hopefully this a start of a changing dynamic that leads to an end of the absolutely disastrous “war on drugs” on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border.
