Pope’s New Encyclical Speaks Against, not for One-World Government and New World Order
LifeSiteNews.com:
Newspapers, blogs, talk-shows on radio and television are full of discussion over Pope Benedict XVI’s supposed call for a “new world order” or a “one-world government.” These ideas are, however, neither based in reality nor a clear reading of the Pope’s latest encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, the release of which yesterday spawned the heated discussion.
The Pope actually speaks directly against a one-world government, and, as would be expected from those who have read his previous writings, calls for massive reform of the United Nations. Confusion seems to have come from paragraph 67 of the encyclical, which has some choice pull-quotes which have spiced the pages of the world’s news, from the New York Times to those of conspiracy theorist bloggers seeing the Pope as the Anti-Christ.

Looking Back on the Life of Barack Obama (satire)
By Daniel Greenfield, CFP:
(CNN) Celebrity News Network – Now with More Holograms! – August 13, 2038
He was the first black President of the United States, and he also became its last President when in 2019, after his term in office had been extended indefinitely by HR:0666 or “The Hope and Faith in Obama’s Everlasting Presidency Act” (Holo-Link), he was forced to leave office because the government had run out of money to pay for itself.
Though he lived a very public life, few could agree on even the basic facts of his life, such as where he was born, who his father was, or what his real name was, or even what race and gender he was. For a man who spent most of his life before the camera, his death leaves us with few answers about who Barack Obama (Holo-Link) really was. Obama himself did not help matters by using multiple names, multiple birthplaces and even passports.

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has a history of ideologically charged investigations
By Hans A. von Spakovsky, NRO:
There’s no shortage of opinion on whether Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio has done anything wrong. Almost ignored, however, are the Justice Department lawyers investigating him. Yet their conduct raises serious questions — namely, have their liberal bias and apparently unethical tactics caused fundamental flaws in their investigation?
[...]
Arizona is on the front lines of the immigration crisis confronting the American Southwest. As thousands of illegal immigrants flood across the border — many engaging in violent and drug-related crimes, choking the local court systems and otherwise imposing heavy economic costs on Arizona communities — Arpaio has been a visible force in local enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Not surprisingly, Arpaio has incurred the wrath of those on the left who oppose immigration enforcement in general, and especially local enforcement of federal immigration laws. Many would like to see the 287(g) program terminated. Unfortunately, the Civil Rights Division’s Special Litigation Section (SPL), which initiated the investigation of Maricopa County, appears hell-bent on aiding these groups’ efforts. SPL has a bad track record enforcing poorly defined and constitutionally questionable legal standards, and it has already been accused of unethical conduct in this case.

And guess which Obama apparatchik [Secretary of Homeland Security] used to be the governor of Arizona? Yes, that icon of sheer, breathtaking ignorance, Janet – “the 9/11 terrorists came across Canadian border “- Napolitano, that’s who (and I only just scratched the surface of this woman’s obtuseness). Arpaio is already way behind the eight ball. Good luck sheriff.
Left for Life

Quick, what’s the capital of Honduras? Probably fewer than 10 percent of Americans could answer that question prior to the recent news that Honduran President Mel Zelaya was sent packing to Costa Rica by the Honduran military. While it’s too early to say whether the so-called “coup” will stick, or whether Zelaya, like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez a few years ago, can regain power, it isn’t too early to assess Barack Obama’s response. In fact, Obama’s reaction has been most illuminating, and may indeed be one of the defining moments of his presidency.[...]

Welcome to the Socialist States of America
Father Raymond J. De Souza, NP:
At the airport here in Omaha, Warren Buffet greets all arriving passengers. The celebrated investor doesn’t do it in person, but a large billboard of him is the first thing you see upon arrival in his home town. Few cities have a money manager as their local hero. The virtues of Warren Buffet’s approach — look for good fundamentals, seek value where others overlook it, be patient and aim for the long term — are not just an investment philosophy, but indicative of a the general attitude people like to think they have in the Great Plains — thrifty, careful, farsighted, self-reliant.
To the extent that Middle America thinks about Canada — which is not very much — it’s the softer, spendthrift, statist neighbour to the north. It’s not unusual to hear us described as socialist, or at least some of our programs. So it would be a surprise to most Americans, and perhaps Canadians too, to realize that the United States could learn something from Canada about how to run a less statist economy.

Muslim Double Standards
Tarek Fatah, NP:
This week, more than 100 Muslims have died and thousands more have been arrested in China. Yet not a peep of protest has been heard on the streets of Cairo, Karachi or Tehran. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it seems, is too busy imprisoning and herding Iranian Muslims to jail to hear the outcry in Xinxiang, while Egyptian religious leader, Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has also ignored the persecution of the Uighurs. China, after all is the trusted ally of the Arab world.
This is not the first time the so-called ummah has shrugged off the massacre of fellow Muslims.

The Dumbing Down of Democracy
By DANIEL HENNINGER, WSJ:
The pivotal foreign policy event so far in the Obama presidency was not this week’s summit with Russia. It was instead that rarest of all events: Barack Obama’s silence.
When the people of Iran filled the streets of their country demanding a fair election, the U.S. clutched for a week. Uncertain of whether U.S. interests lay with the nuke-building ayatollahs or the democracy-seeking population, the Obama team essentially mumbled sweet nothings through the first days of the most extraordinary world event in this young presidency’s term. That moment of hesitation, when a genuine and strategically useful democratic moment needed support, could prove costly.
When the Group of Eight nations tried to shape a response to the Iranian government’s repression, Russia knew what to say about Iran.
“No one is willing to condemn the election process,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, “because it’s an exercise in democracy.”
Behold the official dumbing down of democracy.
