…on behalf of Islamic dictatorships. All in a day’s work at Foggy Bottom.

More stifling of free speech — a constitutional amendment to strip the right from pro-business non-profits, while leaving it intact for anti-business non-profits.
Over at The Corner, I have some thoughts on Saturday’s debate.

Gingrich the psycho-historian.
Now let us get a few things straight about who these loony goons are. For the most part they are spoiled rotten brats who took out huge loans to pay for four years of self-indulgence at some over-rated liberal arts college. Somehow, they were able to spend a few months in the fall camping out and protesting against the working class while not working themselves.
They are in that upper 1% who do not have to work.
And they are prodigious increasers of entropy.
I didn’t see the debate last night (we were partying down), but apparently Mitt went after Newt on space. Jeff Foust can’t figure out what he’s talking about, and I don’t know, either. All I know is that it’s one more reason to hope Romney isn’t the nominee. He doesn’t seem to understand the issues at all.

Question for the Romney campaign. Why is the governor opposed to opening up new resources? Why does he think that we would have to spend more to do so than we are now on a rocket that will never fly?
Dennis Wingo has an essay over at Andrewthony Watt’s place on the flawed assumptions of the warm mongers.
So says one of the occupiers. You don’t say. Actually, if you understood fascism, you’d realize it started that way.
Is such talk over the line? Sadly, probably not.
I often feel as though I’m in a state of denial about how bad things may get.
Michael Barone isn’t very impressed with Obama’s speech:
What we have here, it seems a president who has no serious interest in public policy. He has spent nearly half his 15 years in public office running for other public office. The only difference now is that, having run out of higher offices to run for, he is just running for reelection instead. Those who pride themselves on belonging to the party of smart people should be embarrassed.

…revealed.
Why should we believe that the motives of people in (cough, cough) “public service” are different from the motives of people in the for-profit sector? Was Jon Corzine a rapacious self-seeker at Goldman Sachs, then a public-spirited man when he was in the Senate and in New Jersey’s governorship, only to revert to form when he went to MF Global? If you doubt that this is true, and suspect that Jon Corzine was the same guy all along, why would you want to give government more power?
It’s a question that big-government supporters never answer. Partly because when it’s a John Corzine or a John Edwards, it’s not that big a deal. If either had been a Republican, it would have been second-coming type in the New York Times.
The Founders wrote a constitution on the basis that men are not angels, but “liberals” apparently believe that when they call themselves “liberal” and Democrats that they are, and will rule us wisely.
