AP’s Pace Perpetuates Pathetic Claim That National Debt’s Rise Is Due to Wars and Bush Tax Cuts

There are press memes which won't go away no matter what, and no matter how often disproven. One, repeated in an Associated Press report a couple of weeks ago as our troops were about to leave Iraq, claimed that “No WMD were ever found” there. The truth: Yes they were — along with 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium found in Iraq after Saddam was overthrown, specifically “the stuff that can be refined into nuclear weapons or nuclear fuel.” Another meme which won't die and fails to pass the truth test was in an AP item by Julie Pace about President Obama's decision to defer raising the debt ceiling by …
Flag Burning at Occupy Charlotte

(John Hinderaker) We haven’t paid much attention to the Occupiers lately; nor, for the most part, has anyone else. But every now and then they continue to endear themselves to the American public. Like last night, when four members of Occupy Charlotte–including their media spokesman!– burned two American flags next to their encampment: Officers said they noticed the suspects lighting something on fire directly in front of the Occupy camp along Trade Street around 12:30 a.m. Friday morning. Police swarmed the area, and detained the men while firefighters were called in to knock down the flames. About $30 worth of damage was caused to landscaping at the site. It was only after…

A Rusted Look at The Iron Lady
(Steven Hayward) Normally I don’t do movie reviews since the only first-run movies I typically see are kid movies. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) But I was treated to an advance screening of The Iron Lady , which opened yesterday in selected theaters in LA and New York to qualify Meryl Streep for her inevitable and mostly deserved Oscar for best actress. As all of the other early reviews say, she is remarkable in the role—no one could have played Thatcher better, though in one or two places a careful (or picky) ear will note a slight American tinge in a word or two. The film as a whole, however, is a…
Montana Supreme Court vs. the United States Supreme Court
(Eugene Volokh) In today’s Western Tradition Partnership, Inc. v. Attorney General , the Montana Supreme Court upheld a ban on corporate expenditures to speak in support of or opposition to political candidates — pretty much the same sort of ban that the United States Supreme Court struck down in Citizens United v. FEC . The majority argues that Citizens United is distinguishable, because of Montana’s “unique” interests stemming from its history, its size, and its political culture. Here’s what strikes me as a key excerpt, though both the majority and the dissent are long, and no short excerpt…

#Occupy the Jail Cell… 4 Occupy Protesters Arrested for Torching US Flags
![](http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/themes/transcript_vb3_broke/timthumb.php?src=http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/a9b8occupy-jail.jpg&h=&q=90&w=90&h=65&zc=1")
Four men were arrested at the #Occupy Charlotte camp for torching US flags. ( WBTV ) The four leftists will be #occupying the jail cell for the next while. Via WCNC : Four Obama-endorsed #Occupy Charlotte protesters were arrested today for torching two US flags near their camp. WBTV reported: Four protesters, including the spokesman of Occupy Charlotte, were charged after setting fire to two American flags early Friday near the Occupy camp in Center City, police said. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police weren’t sure earlier if the four men who set fire to two flags were associated with the Occupy Charlotte movement. But, WBTV has learned that one of the men is the media …
Ron Paul: Well, You Know, the Money IS Pink, so I Was Totally Validated On That One
I am pretty sure Ron Paul just admitted that at least some of the insane conspiracy theory material in his newsletter was his. Dave Weigel notes that Paul was on Jan Mikkelson’s show today, and a caller asked Paul about the newsletters . Paul offered what is now at least his third or fourth different explanation for the content of the newsletters, which is that he wrote some of the content, but not all, and certainly not the racist parts. The caller then went on to make the eminently reasonable point that in addition to the racist stuff, the newsletters contained a lot of material that ordinary people would find, you know, completely insane . Paul’s answer defies belief; unless, that is, you’ve…
VIDEO: 4 from #OccupyCLT arrested during flag-burning, may disband / #OccupyCharlotte
The local radicals strike again : CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested four men for arson after they allegedly burned two American flags near an Occupy camp in uptown on Friday. Police said Jason Bargert, 28, Michael Behrle, 23, Stephen Morris, 20, and Alex Tyler, 19, were charged with arson and setting fire to woods. The four men burned the flags while in the area of tents for Occupy Charlotte, which is located on the lawn area of City Hall on East Trade Street, according to the police report. Occupy Charlotte released a statement to NewsChannel 36 saying that the flag burning incident does reflect the people or message of their group. The statement goes on to stay that Occupy Charlotte is no longer affiliated with the camp…
