(See Reader Responses) Obama, Rubio birthers should read the law

Birtherism — the belief that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not in the United States — pretty much died last year when the White House released a copy of the president’s long-form birth certificate showing he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. After that, the number of Americans who doubted Obama’s place of birth dropped dramatically.

But not to zero.

(“…says Orwell. Catch phrases “will construct your sentences for you – even think your thoughts for you…”) Throw out the cliches

Political writing tends to be bad writing, noted George Orwell in his 1946 essay “Politics and the English Language.”

Too often it’s a tool for deception and obfuscation rather than clear communication.

Orwell criticizes particularly those who rely on political catch phrases devised by others, throwing their minds open and “letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in.” It’s an easy way of avoiding the hard work good writing demands, says Orwell. Catch phrases “will construct your sentences for you – even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent – and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.”

It’s amusing how often the cliche-stringers don’t even seem to realize what their fine-sounding phrases really mean or where they come from. Those who argue for an activist judiciary, for instance, often remind us that the Constitution created three “separate but equal” branches of government. “Separate but equal” has a nice, familiar ring to it, but it’s not in the Constitution. It comes from Plessy vs. Ferguson, the 1896 Supreme Court decision that ruled segregation perfectly legal.

Drones Pose a Threat to Americans’ Privacy: Pressure is mounting to normalize the use of drones…

Pressure is mounting to normalize the use of drones in the United States.

“Don’t drone, me, bro!”—that’s one way to sum up Charles Krauthammer’s heated reaction to last week’s news that the Federal Aviation Administration had loosened restrictions on local police departments’ use of surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

Obama’s America: EPA Officials Visit Man For Sending Email

About a month ago, EPA regional official Al Armendariz made news when a YouTube video of him describing the way the agency handles oil and gas companies surfaced. In it, Armendariz said an analogy he liked to use about enforcement was how the Romans used crucifixion to keep smaller towns and villages under their thumb. Since then, Armendariz has resigned his post at the EPA. Case closed, right? Wrong.

A local North Carolina man named Larry Keller didn’t particularly like the analogy that Al Armendariz used, so, along with thousands of others assumably, he set about to contact Mr. Armendariz to discuss his views on the oil and gas industries. One of our basic rights and privileges in a free society is to be able to petition our government for a redress of grievances without fear of repercussion from said government simply for voicing our grievance.

“Special Operations members from the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force will work alongside SOF troops from other countries to ‘assault’ mock enemy positions and rescuing ‘hostages’ next to the convention center, both on land and in the bay,” ABC News in Tampa reported.

The Police State Is Here by Tim Kelly

The Police State Is Here

by Tim Kelly, May 21, 2012

“There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.”

Those are the words of Garet Garrett, the 20th-century journalist and writer, who lamented the collapse of the old Republic and the rise of the American managerial/administrative state — the consummation of which he had witnessed in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.

Question: Anyone been able to disprove The Urban Legend view of General Giap

Posted on 12/19/2007 9:59:14 AM EST by april15Bendovr

I heard recently on the Rush Limbaugh show this quote.

“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.

But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

After I used this quote I have been informed that this memoir is listed as a Urban Legend.

Can anyone help me prove that this “False status” in itself is an urban legend?
