Ah they love to try and denigrate conservatives and libertarians! And for a group supposedly committed to watching 'media matters', they sure do concentrate on Fox News. Heaven forbid they should try a little investigating of the people who are supposed to represent us, oh no!!!
But now, they are finally having to answer for their actions via their tax exempt status. Fox, a profit based organization, has launched a project to have the tax exempt status of Media Matters examined by the IRS! You can submit a request on your behalf by following this link:

Irrelevancy of Congress and the Supreme Court
The President doesn't like Congress failing to pass his Cap & Trade bill (or something similar) so he just gives the power to the EPA instead.
He doesn't like the supreme court's ruling on campaign finance so says he'll take care of it himself.
Feigns disapproval of Congress insisting on spending cuts before passing a Continuing Resolution but when we look closer to the details, what did he really cut? Nothing!
Debt ceiling has come and gone and yet he's still spending, just getting his cash from the Federal Reserve.
It's been over 60 days since he gained approval from the UN instead of Congress to begin military actions in Libya. According to the War Powers Act, he should be asking Congress for permission and funds to continue. Says he does not need Congressional approval. Or course this has been a move by previous presidents, so what kind of a precedent is Congress continuing here?
When is Boehner and the rest going to stand up, find their balls and say ENOUGH????
Or will they wait till the next election kicks yet another major portion of the establishment politicians out of office?

2012 - Finally something to get excited about!
Gary Johnson has announced he is running for president! Don't think who is the best candidate (i.e., can they beat Obama), think: who is the best person for America.
And that is either Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. Maybe both on a ticket!
Check him out.

Who are the Libyan Rebels?
As I've said, new is not necessarily better. Yes Mubarak and Gaddafi were bad evil men. But are the people of Egypt and Libya any better off with their replacements? Israel is wondering the same thing.
In the case of the Libyan rebels here's a shocker: some are al Qaeda!!! Gee, and I thought there were only a handful of AQ left! Or so the left and Doc would have us believe. Although, I do have to ask, since when did AQ keep a membership roster so we'd know how many there were?????
http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2011/03/the_telegraph_l.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Hyscience+%28Hyscience%29
Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
Yeahhhh right.
And since when do we have money to help ANYONE these days? We should not have gone in there, we didn't for Iran, Rwanda, Darfur, Egypt, so why for Libya? Oil ya say. Even though Libya only supplies about 2% of the worlds oil and almost nothing directly to the US, many critics will claim this is yet again a war for oil.
Tunisia? That's only 260,000 barrels A YEAR!!! That's nothing.
So, again, why Libya? Maybe there really is something to this United Nations "Responsibility To Protect" Doctrine. I may have more on that later.

The minds of the south
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/the-minds-of-the-south/
As Jefferson Davis put it in his inaugural address as provisional president of the Confederacy, “Our present position … illustrates the American idea that government rests upon the consent of the governed, and that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish a government whenever it becomes destructive of the ends for which it was established.”
This contrasted with prevailing Unionist ideas, articulated by Abraham Lincoln, which held that first there had been an American people and a Union, and then this Union had sanctioned the political subdivisions that were the states.
Sounds like they thought more like Jefferson Davis! Most people think southerners of the time (and now) were stupid uneducated buffoons. And they think the Civil war was all about race. Little do they know that Lincoln said if he could have held the union together by keeping slavery, he would have done so.
More history being re-written.
This surprisingly from a NY Times writer!
