Florida GOP trying to force Allen West out of Congress through redistricting?
by Allahpundit
Via Legal Insurrection and our own J.E. Dyer in the Greenroom. According to WaPo, the new congressional map under consideration in Florida’s legislature would make West’s district four points more Democratic than it is now — a tough haul for a guy who lost that district by nine points in 2008 before riding the big red wave to a nine-point win last year. Turns out Will Weatherford, the GOP’s state House redistricting chairman, is also a Mitt Romney fan. Coincidence, or evidence that the Republican establishment is trying to push one of the tea party’s biggest rock stars towards the door? Javier Manjarres of the Shark Tank confronted Weatherford about it last Thursday and was told there’s little that can be done about the map due to legal guidelines about redistricting. But here’s what Manjarres reported back on January 10:
Ingraham: Maybe the Tea Party isn’t as strong as the media thinks
by Ed Morrissey
Does the slate of surviving Republican presidential choices in this primary mean that the Tea Party’s strength has been overrated — or just directed elsewhere? The Daily Caller has a clip from a fascinating discussion between Laura Ingraham and George Will from ABC’s This Week: Green Room over what a Mitt Romney nomination would mean:Mark Levin: Lay off Matt Drudge! The MSM hates his guts, remember?
by Tina Korbe
Mark Levin Friday came to the defense of headline aggregator Matt Drudge, who, last week, took some heated criticism from conservatives for a series of links he posted that suggested Newt Gingrich was not a loyal Reaganite.Levin, who said he knows Drudge personally and characterizes him as “a good man,” encouraged critics to remember all the good Drudge has done for the country and to allow little annoyances to slide.
How Big Is Romney's Florida Lead?
How Big Is Romney's Florida Lead?
FORT MYERS, FL - Tomorrow is election day here in the
Sunshine State, and up-to-the-minute polling indicates that former
Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is poised to win the state's closed
(ie, Republicans only) primary election. Given Florida's winner-take-all status in 2012, Tuesday's victor will reap all 50 of Florida's delegates. Over the weekend, Dan chronicled Romney's favorable polling trends, but just how far is Romney actually
ahead? A final batch of state surveys paints a somewhat murky picture,
with various data points telling remarkably different stories. If
you're a Romney supporter, there's significant evidence that your man
could win in a blowout. Several outlets show the former governor
leading by double digits, including Suffolk (20 points), Survey USA (15 points), and Quinnipiac (14 points):

Earlier this week, I began an interview on Fox Business by asking the guest if the market had entered into some kind of Pax Romana period. It wasn’t a planned question; it just popped into my head since I knew the guest was bullish on the market. Yesterday another guest described a backdrop for the Fed that wasn’t deflationary or inflation which gives them room to risk zero percent interest rates for the next three years. While the stock market has been anything but peaceful for the past decade and major economies face serious treats, the world itself may be entering a modern version of Roman Peace.

Former Massachusetts Congressman Takes Graft to Next Level. Daniel J. Mitchell
I’ve written before about the sleazy and corrupting impact of earmarks.
And I’ve debunked the lobbyist arguments in favor of earmarks.
Heck, I’ve even done NPR interviews about this unseemly Washington practice.
So I like to think I’m reasonably knowledgeable about the system. But even I’m shocked to learn how a former Massachusetts Congressman has taken graft to the next level.
And I’m slightly happy that he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and feels compelled to give up his share of the loot.
Here are some excerpts from a report in the New York Times.

Aborting Hitler. Mike Adams
Someone once asked me whether I would abort Adolf Hitler if I knew in
advance he would try to launch a Holocaust against millions of Jews. I
said I would not. That is because aborting Hitler would not have
prevented the Holocaust. It would have justified it. The killing of
millions of innocents does not begin with the killing of one innocent.
It begins with the idea that in the larger scheme of things it is
permissible to kill one innocent person.
The movie Judgment in Nuremburg (1961) shows that, even in Hollywood, Americans once appreciated this important principle. The movie is three hours long. But one only needs to watch the last ten minutes of the movie in order to see how far we have fallen in just a half-century.

One Million Terrorists?
by Paul Craig Roberts
The Bush Regime's "terrorist" protection
schemes have reached the height of total incompetence and utter absurdity. According
to the American Civil Liberties Union, a private organization that defends the
US Constitution that inattentive Americans neglect, there are now one million
names on the "terrorist" watch list.
One of them is that of former Assistant US Attorney General Jim Robinson, whose top security clearances are current. Every time Mr. Robinson flies away on business, he is delayed by a totally incompetent "terrorist" protection racket that cannot tell a person named Jim Robinson, who served in the highest echelons of the US government, from a Muslim terrorist.

Who Remembers 'Guns and Butter'?
by Paul Craig Roberts
President Lyndon B. Johnson's policy of Great
Society spending and the Vietnam War is credited with the rising American inflation
that persisted until checked by President Reagan's supply-side policy.
In Johnson's time, the American economy and the U.S. dollar were strong, and there was no current account deficit. Yet LBJ's policy of guns and butter did long-term harm.
The Bush-Obama 21st-century policy of guns and butter makes LBJ look like a piker. The 2009 and 2010, federal budget deficits will be monstrous even without guns. But Obama is exiting (apparently) the Iraq War in order to start two, possibly three, more wars.

Another Reason Not to Go to War So Often
by Charles V. Peña
By now, everyone has either seen or knows about the video of U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of dead Taliban fighters. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that “the conduct depicted in the footage is utterly deplorable.” According to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the actions of the Marines in the video are “absolutely inconsistent with American values and the standards we expect from our military personnel.” Not surprisingly, Afghan President Hamid Karzai is none too pleased: “This act by American soldiers is completely inhumane and condemnable in the strongest possible terms.”
The hypocrisy of America's Cuba policy
By Roland Martin
In Cuba, a man checks his motorcycle in front of political billboards that allude to the US embargo on Cuba
STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- For more than 50 years, the United States
has had an embargo against the island of Cuba, all because we supposedly
hate communism and believe the nation 90 miles from our borders should
institute democracy.Zionist Master Plan for Global Dictatorship
Before the American Mercury
magazine came into its present ownership, it was owned and controlled
by a noted patriot by the name of Russell Maguire. He was a man of
wealth and intelligent business initiative.
He became alarmed over what he knew to be Zionism’s Master Plan for World Power. A documented research manuscript came into his hands and he had the courage to publish it.
The Real Deal About World Peace
What’s the Real Deal? How do we bring Real Peace to our world? The answer to that question is actually easy. The real
question is this: Are you prepared to hear an answer that is so simple,
so prolifically accessible to all, so do-able, that it is resting right
at your fingertips this very moment?It’s simple, it is profound, you will immediately feel the resonance of it’s Truth begin to loosen constraints within you. And here it is:
