•The American Thinker explains that we’re on the brink of war with Russia unless we re-elect the Russian puppet, Barack Obama, to do the Kremlin’s bidding.
•One of the arguments against Obama’s health-care plan is that the individual mandate requiring everyone carry health insurance is unconstitutional. Here’s a counter-argument.
•And a counter-argument on another topic: Does the Supreme Court really think campaign contributions equal free speech?
•A blog post on Santorum, the anti-birth control candidate. And here’s one on Ron Paul, the anti-civil rights candidate.
•A good blog post on why Ron Paul is not a magnet for liberals. While Glenn Greenwald has argued that liberals ignore what the war on terror and the war on drugs are doing in order to support Obama——and thereby sell out minorities——the timwise post argues the same can be said for liberals advocating for Paul.
•The effect of U.S. economic policy on Mexico, and Mexican immigration.
•If men are so totally horny and crazy for sex, what’s the point of lingerie?
•A conservative claims that to question the need to invade Iran or that Iran wants nukes is anti-semitism.
•Is there as much fraud in credit-cards as in foreclosures?
•Alicublog has observed in the past that some conservatives feel oppressed because they can’t throw around the n-word. Here’s an example.
•The media rejoice that Romney’s a flip-flopper. More rejoicing here.
•Eyewitness testimony isn’t reliable, but the Supreme Court’s not going to fuss about that.
•As you’ve probably heard, SOPA and PIPA are bad for the Internet. And don’t bet that if they go down this time, they’ll never return. Hollywood’s paying big money and politicians are frequently willing to sell out (case in point).
•The Israeli religious right is showing itself just as anti-woman as the Islamic and Christian right (in one example, a woman receiving an award at a government ceremony is told a man will accept for her as a woman isn’t allowed onstage).
•Slacktivist discusses a recent Supreme Court non-case (it let a lower-court decision stand) that a teacher at an Evangelical Lutheran school isn’t protected by disability laws because the church considers her a minister (and therefore exempt from a lot of the usual anti-discrimination protections).
My immediate thought was that this is a great loophole for churches to fire all kinds of people, but Slacktivist makes a good case that having secular job doesn’t mean you’re not a “minister” even though you’re not clergy. The pagan blog Wild Hunt argues (here and here) that this is an important protection for minority religions that don’t follow a conventional priest/laity structure.
•Rutgers University shrinks the doctoral program while buying a football coach a house.
•In yet another display of defending traditional marriage, Rush Limbaugh explains that when Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife, it was Gingrich who was the victim! Limbaugh’s explanation of how society forced Newt to cheat ranks with Newt’s explanation that Obama mind-controlled him into criticizing Mitt Romney’s “vulture capitalism.”
