Election spending
David Warren:
[...]
In a split but efficacious decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech, trumps the McCain-Feingold campaign finance act of 2002, and any other attempt to restrict election spending by “corporate persons” (in the broad sense that includes unions and any other formal organization). As Justice Anthony Kennedy explained in the majority decision, “The government may regulate corporate speech through disclaimer and disclosure requirements, but it may not suppress that speech altogether.”
The majority also homed in on this crucial point: that bureaucratic regulation of speech constitutes a de facto prior restraint, due to the time and expense involved in administrative proceedings. This is a point we have made up here, against “human rights” commissions and the like: that their very existence is antipathetic to an open society.
There are many and huge ramifications, but the chief one is that the decision attacks the contemporary lobbying system. In effect, those advancing special interests are condemned to lobbying the entire electorate, instead of just lobbying the politicians behind closed doors. This directly undermines the political class. It goes to the heart of their ability to broker deals not in the public interest, and pass them into law without public debate.
And that in turn is why the response to the decision from the political class has been unfriendly to the edge of berserk. They correctly understand that “politics as usual” is now under review, actually and not rhetorically.
A Mathematician Looks at Darwin’s Theory and Discovers It Doesn’t Add Up
ENV:
“Darwin’s attempt to explain the origins of all the magnificent species in the living world in terms of the struggle for survival is easily the dumbest idea ever taken seriously by science,” writes Dr. Granville Sewell in his new book In the Beginning and Other Essays on Intelligent Design published by Discovery Institute Press.
What do you get when you add together the big bang, the fine-tuning of the laws of physics and the evolution of life? Definitely not a materialistic theory of origins, answers Sewell, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas El Paso.
In this wide-ranging collection of essays, Sewell concludes that while there is much in the history of life that seems to suggest natural causes, there is little evidence to support Charles Darwin’s idea that natural selection of random variations can explain major evolutionary advances.
In the book, he explains why evolution is a fundamentally different and much more difficult problem than others solved by science and why increasing numbers of scientists are now recognizing what has long been obvious to the layman: there is no explanation possible without design.

Faber: Obama’s Meddling Makes Bush Look Like Genius
By: Gene Koprowski:
The Obama administration’s meddling in the market will not solve problems, but will foster uncertainty and harmful, unintended consequences, Marc Faber, author and publisher of the “Gloom, Boom & Doom Report,” said.
Faber, known as “Dr. Doom” for his persistently pessimistic outlook, commented on President Barack Obama’s proposed new limits on the size and trading customs of big banks.
Obama wants to prevent “excessive” risk-taking on Wall Street.
“I don’t have a very high opinion of Mr. Obama,” Faber told CNBC.
“I was negative of Mr. Bush but I think Mr. Obama makes him look like a genius. Basically I think everybody will agree that in an economic system, the market solves problems best.”

What the MSM Got Wrong About the March for Life: Most Everything Important
Posted by Jill Stanek, BG:
Five hours before the January 22 March for Life rally even began, Newsweek blogger Krista Gesaman posted a highly misleading piece on the March’s age demographics as well as the route itself.
In a piece entitled, “Who’s missing at the Roe v. Wade anniversary demonstrations? Young women,” Gesaman wrote:
Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case legalizing abortion, and droves of women are prepared to face rainy weather to support their positions during the annual Washington, D.C., demonstrations. But there will be one major difference with the demonstration route this year—it’s shorter.
The organizers are getting older, and it’s more difficult for them to walk a long distance,” says Stanley Radzilowski, an officer in the planning unit for the Washington, D.C., police department. A majority of the participants are in their 60s and were the original pioneers either for or against the case, he says.
So this raises the question: where are the young, vibrant women supporting their pro-life or pro-choice positions? Likely, they’re at home.
First, whoever Stanley Radzilowski is, he got his facts way wrong on the March for Life’s route. It was the same this year as it has been for several years:March for Life 2007:

Can Climate Forecasts Still Be Trusted?
By Gerald Traufetter, SPIEGEL:
First, it was a series of e-mails that led many to begin doubting the veracity of climate scientists. Then, the United Nations climate body itself had to reverse dire predictions about the melting of glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains. Other claims have raised doubts as well.

Tolerance for Terror
by Jamie Glazov, FrontPage:
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Howard Rotberg, an author of several books who has just released his latest book, Tolerism: The Ideology Revealed (Mantua Books). He blogs at secondgenerationradical.blogmatrix.com. He has previously been interviewed by Frontpage (Fatwa on a Book) about the fate of his 2003 novel about a Jewish professor’s worry about Iran developing nuclear weapons and the professor’s problems with political correctness.
FP: Howard Rotberg, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Rotberg: Thank you for having me
What inspired you to write this book?
Rotberg: Basically, I began to understand that, in a world that was treating Islamist terrorism with tolerance and submission, as opposed to a due recognition of the war declared upon us, much of our “intelligentsia” was prisoner of a certain ideology that inhibited an appropriate response to the threats to our freedoms and lives.
As a result of my novel, The Second Catastrophe, being, essentially, banned in Canada because of the objections of some 18 year old Islamists, I was becoming aware that the very people who proclaimed their tolerance were in fact the least tolerant of all when it came to listening to, and debating, contrary opinions.

The Anti-Israel Revelation
by Mark D. Tooley, FrontPage:
“Emergent Church” guru Brian McLaren is a key figure on the Evangelical Left who is trying shift Evangelicals, who are America’s most pro-Israel demographic, into a more neutralist stance. Currently, he is leading a delegation through Israel and “Palestine” to broadcast the sins of Israeli oppression against Palestinians by “listening, learning, thinking, observing, reflecting.” His blog is providing daily updates of his discoveries, all of which confirm his previously often declared bias against Israel.

The ‘Emergent Church’ is a festering sore on the Body of Christ. Followers of Christ would be well advised to get out of these divergent churches before their faith is shipwrecked.
Global Warming Dogma Melts in Glaciergate
by Rich Trzupek, FrontPage:
Recent history has been unkind to those who maintain that human activity is leading to catastrophic climate change.
Two months ago, we had “Climategate,” the scandal that revealed how the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit had conspired to manipulate data and to bully scientific publications in order to silence scholarship that failed to affirm the global warming gospel. Last month, the failure the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to reach any kind of meaningful agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions dealt another hammer blow to the cause. The latest setback came last week, when the world was presented with a new climate scandal: Glaciergate.
In the latest case, it turns out that the IPCC employed shockingly sloppy science to suggest that, as a consequence of global warming, Himalayan glaciers were on the verge of destruction.

A worldwide disgrace
Chicago Tribune:
Around this time last year, U.N. leaders decided that the best way to cut rampant corruption in its ranks was to aggressively … stop looking for it.
They yanked funding for a special anti-corruption task force that the U.N. created in 2006 after the infamous oil-for-food scandal. They promised that they were just consolidating the task force into an existing U.N. division, not killing its investigations.
Move along, folks! Nothing to see here!
But we suspected the U.N. task force had been too successful, that it had mightily embarrassed U.N. leaders and member countries.

Obama gives pro-abortion, anti-Catholic nominee a second chance
Ann Kane, AT:
What does President Obama have against the Catholic Church? After all, a majority of Catholic voters helped put him in office. Notre Dame University welcomed him with open arms, and inexplicably, is still holding 88 pro-life protestors hostage by refraining from asking prosecutors to drop the charges against them.
You would think he’d be grateful for the church’s support. On the contrary, he’s a brazen opportunist, and abortion sympathizer.
Last year, Obama nominated Dawn Johnsen to head the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice; the Senate returned Obama’s nomination in December because she was so unpopular.
But now, she’s back on the 2010 confirmation list thanks to Obama’s persistence.

Intel officials knew about lawyering up underwear bomber
Bill Weckesser, AT:
President Obama may soon feel as much heat as Detroit’s now famous underwear bomber. With senators such as Joe Lieberman demanding that Mr. Abdulmutallab be tried in military courts rather than federal ones, there’s an out break of “finger pointing” as to how and why he was lawyered up like a party store robber in the first place.

Holocaust Memorial Day: pieces of a puzzle
Julian Kossoff, Telegraph [UK]:
- Remembering genocides is not a numbers game.
- Do Jews ask for special sympathy regarding the Holocaust? Believe me, we wish we didn’t have to.
- Did God die at Auschwitz?
- Let me try and explain (without denying any of the transgression against the Palestinians) why the birth of the State of Israel, for the majority of Jews, represents the Phoenix rising from the fire. Three years after being slaughtered like lambs we were reborn as lions of Judah. The yin had its yang, and the pain became bearable.
- Recently, my cousin was sitting with an old family friend, a gentlewoman of Tel Aviv, in her garden. Suddenly, an air raid siren started to blare – no drill had been announced. “What shall we do?” asked my cousin. “Well,” said the Israeli, “would you rather die in the house or in the garden.”
- Stop hijacking the Holocaust: anti-Zionists who use Holocaust imagery to further their cause are cruel liars and are just asking to be discounted with the ‘A’ word.
- Stop cheapening the Holocaust: right wing Zionists and religious zealots who ritually denounce their critics (including other Jews) as ‘Nazis’ shamefully drain the word of any meaning.
- Stop denying the Holocaust (one for you Nick Griffin, BNP duce and would be MP): only a twisted mind and a blackened soul could indulge in such a sadistic perversion of history.
- “The anti-Semites cannot forgive the Jews for the fact that they have ’spirit’.” German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (you may be surprised to hear).

Ottawa strikes blow against reinforcing failure in Middle East
Jonathon Narvey, NP:
We learned this week that Canada is the first Western nation to pull the plug on UNRWA, the United Nations-run relief operation for Palestinian refugees of the West Bank and Gaza. The government has been quick to clarify that relief is still on the way. It will now be dedicated to specific projects like food aid; hopefully with enough oversight to prevent mismanagement and inadvertent support to a terrorist organization.

Credibility storm brewing
Lorne Gunter, National Post:
Revelations about how the United Nations and its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have manipulated scientific data to support their contention that man-made carbon emissions are altering the world’s climate are now flying out like bees from a wet hive — fast and furious.
First, of course, there were the thousands of emails and computer files leaked last November that show many of the world’s leading climate scientists manipulating their own climate data to overstate the case for global warming; conspiring to hide their “tricks” even from government access to information requests and then bullying scientific journals not to publish the work of scientists whose work cast doubts on the theory.
Then came evidence last week that the IPCC had passed off pure speculation on the rate of glacier melt as ironclad scientific fact.

Meet President Obama 2.0.
WSJ:
Meet President Obama 2.0. Unlike the 2009 version, this 2010 update isn’t the spender who has sent the federal deficit to levels unseen since World War II. This new fellow is a fiscal conservative, and Americans will see this major new talent perform tonight as he delivers his State of the Union address.
Whether or not Americans choose to believe him, there’s no denying the fiscal reality created by the rollout version of President Obama last year, as detailed in the Congressional Budget Office report released yesterday. For the second year in a row, fiscal 2010 will see a trillion-dollar deficit—an estimated $1.35 trillion, or 9.2% of GDP, which is down slightly from last year’s post-World War II record of 9.9%.
Mr. Obama did inherit a recession, which is partly responsible for this ocean of red ink. The slow pace of economic recovery has contributed to a collapse in revenues, down to 14.8% of GDP in 2009 and an estimated 14.9% this year. That’s well below the modern historical average of about 18.1%, and it is a reminder that economic growth is the most important contributor to smaller deficits. Had last year’s “stimulus” worked half as well as the White House advertised, these deficits wouldn’t be as large.
But as the nearby chart shows, Mr. Obama’s major contribution to deficits has been a record spending spree.

Our Philosopher-King Obama
by Victor Davis Hanson:
In Plato’s ideal society, philosopher kings and elite Guardians shepherded the rabble to force them to do the “right” thing.
To prevent the unwashed from doing anything stupid, the all-powerful, all-wise Guardians often had to tell a few “noble” lies. And, of course, these caretakers themselves were exempt from most rules they made for others.
We are now seeing such thinking in the Obama administration and among its supporters.

Heat wave closes in on the IPCC
By Terence Corcoran, NP:
A catastrophic heat wave appears to be closing in on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. How hot is it getting in the scientific kitchen where they’ve been cooking the books and spicing up the stew pots? So hot, apparently, that Andrew Weaver, probably Canada’s leading climate scientist, is calling for replacement of IPCC leadership and institutional reform.
If Andrew Weaver is heading for the exits, it’s a pretty sure sign that the United Nations agency is under monumental stress. Mr. Weaver, after all, has been a major IPCC science insider for years. He is Canada Research Chair in Climate Modelling and Analysis at the University of Victoria, mastermind of one of the most sophisticated climate modelling systems on the planet, and lead author on two recent landmark IPCC reports. For him to say, as he told Canwest News yesterday, that there has been some “dangereous crossing” of the line between climate advocacy and science at the IPCC is stunning in itself.
Not only is Mr. Weaver an IPCC insider. He has also, over the years, generated his own volume of climate advocacy that often seemed to have crossed that dangereous line between hype and science. It is Mr. Weaver, for example, who said the IPCC’s 2007 science report — the one now subject to some scrutiny —“isn’t a smoking gun; climate is a battalion of intergalactic smoking missiles.”

He punched and kicked her as she lay on the ground before raping her.
Robert Price, prosecuting, said: ‘She started screaming and attempted to get to her feet.
‘He responded by punching her in the mouth and knocked her back on the ground.
‘He stood over her and kicked her to the side of her face. He started shouting at her and warned that if she struggled he would “kill” her.’

He apologised after finally admitting his offence to police and also when he entered his plea at court.
‘We are dealing with a very immature young man,’ Miss Perry said.
‘He has been having anger management classes and he feels these have helped him.’

The ‘global warming’ story you haven’t heard: the WWF connection
by Kathy Shaidle, NewsRealblog:
When Conrad Black launched the National Post ten years ago, as a more or less conservative alternative to Canada’s liberal/leftist daily papers, one of his first hires was Donna Laframboise.
Laframboise’s resume doesn’t exactly inspire your confidence, if you’re a typical conservative: she’s got a degree in Women’s Studies (!), and is pro-choice and pro-gay “marriage.”
Yet I always looked forward to her column, because she was clearly allergic to ideological cant from both sides, and not afraid to take an unpopular stand.
After Black sold the Post to one of the country’s most powerful Liberal Party families, many popular writers either resigned or were fired. Laframboise was one of them, and I lost track of her.
But she’s still reporting — just not for a “mainstream” publication. I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t heard of her global-warming-skeptic blog, NOconsensus.org, until she posted an intriguing investigation this week, and some other Canadian bloggers picked it up.
Laframboise writes:

Palestinian Wife-Beating: The Jews Made Them Do It
by Phyllis Chesler, FrontPage:
It’s official. Britain’s premier medical journal Lancet has been completely Palestinianized. It no longer bears any relationship to the first-rate scientific journal it once was. Perhaps Lancet is no longer a standard-bearer but has become a follower in the global movement in which standards have plunged, biases have soared, and Big Lies now pass for top-of-the-line academic, scientific work.
The post-colonial academy is itself thoroughly colonized by the false and dangerous ideas of Edward Said (please read my dear friend Ibn Warraq’s most excellent book Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism). However, I once believed that Said’s paranoid perspective had primarily infected and indoctrinated only the social sciences, humanities, and Middle East Studies. We now see his malign influence at work in a new article, just out today, by professors who work at the Department of Medicine at Harvard University; the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at Minnesota University’s School of Public Health; The Boston University School of Medicine; the School of Nursing at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey; and at the School of Social Work and Social Welfare at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University.

Job, Suffering, and Spiritual Warfare
By Berit Kjos:
Back in the 1920s and 30s, Western missionaries brought the gospel to Korea. The people received it with joy and, by God’s grace, Biblical faith spread like fire. The news of their zeal spread to China, and Chinese believers came to visit and learn from them. But everything changed when the Communists took control. By the 1950s, thousands had been killed. Torturous persecution had forced others into hiding.
Near the village of Gok San, a group of 24 adults and 4 children lived underground in hand-dug tunnels. They were discovered when communist workers built a road near their tunnels. The Christians were pulled out, bound and led before a village crowd for a public “trial” and execution.
A guard told them to deny their faith in Jesus “or die.” But they refused. A communist officer then ordered the guards to seize the four children and prepare them for hanging. The frightened children clung to their parents, but the heartbroken parents comforted them with the tender assurance that “we will see you soon in heaven.”
With ropes tied around the children’s small necks, the officer again promised freedom if only the parents would deny Christ.

Confessions of a former feminist
Marcia Segelstein, OneNewsNow:
Feminism, women’s liberation, and the idea that men and women are no different from each other have led many of us down dead-end roads — often away from faith.
Lorraine Murray, in her book, Confessions of an Ex-Feminist (Ignatius Press, 2008), tells the story of her own walk down that road and back, with many illuminating lessons on everything from abortion to the anti-religious bias on college campuses.

From Crete with hate
By JERUSALEM POST:
[...]
In the West, vulgar Jew-hatred and Holocaust-denial meet with strong censure in the public square. No reputable voices would condone attacks on synagogues or holding Jews to standards gentiles are not expected to meet.
On the other hand, urbane anti-Israelism is all-too often treated as justifiable – even chic. While some of Israel’s foes in academia, diplomacy and the punditocracy put their cards on the table, others hypocritically hide behind abstract assertions of support for Israel’s right to exist and to self-defense based on preposterously impractical criteria. Thus anti-Israelism flirts with anti-Semitism when the Jewish state is held to a yardstick no other country is expected to meet on the grounds that “after all, you call yourselves the ‘chosen people.’”
No one questions whether right-wing louts who burn Jewish houses of worship, beat up people who “look Jewish” or desecrate Holocaust memorials are anti-Semites. But those who reject the right of the Jewish people to self-determination, or who deny that Jews are a people, engage in a more subtle form of contempt. That some practitioners of anti-Israelism are themselves of Jewish ancestry matters not a whit. Anti-Israelism is further characterized by calls to boycott the Jewish state (aping the Arab League-instigated embargo which began decades before the first West Bank settlement was erected) and by the cynical manipulation of symbols and semantics – such as “apartheid,” “genocide,” and “Nazi” – to delegitimize Israel.
In these endeavors, ostensibly progressives are the strange bedfellows of fanatics and reactionaries – Hamas, Hizbullah, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood.
For Bigots, Israel Can Do No Right
by Alan M. Dershowitz, FrontPage:
As most objective observers throughout the world marvel at Israel ’s efficiency and generosity in leading the medical aid efforts in Haiti , some bigots insist on using these efforts as an occasion to continue their attack on the Jewish state. Both the neo-Nazi hard right and the neo-Stalinist hard left cannot help but to demonize Israel, regardless of what Israel does.
The neo-Nazi website ReportersNotebook.com features a blog entitled The Zionization of Disaster Relief. It accuses Israel of “exploiting the suffering of poor, defenseless Haitians on behalf of Israeli Triumphalism.” It complains that Israel is rendering medical aid to Haiti only to deflect attention from its crimes against the Palestinians.
The hard left, even in a Israel , complains that Israel should not be sending medical assistance to such a faraway place. Instead it should be sending it to nearby Gaza .
Even the New York Times, in an otherwise thoughtful analysis of the controversiality of the aid among some Israelis, failed to note the difference between Israel sending its limited resources to faraway Haiti and to nearby Gaza. Haiti is not at war with Israel . Haiti has not pledged itself to Israel ’s destruction. Haiti has not fired 8,000 rockets at Israeli civilians.

The Pentagon’s Willful Blindness
By Andrew Bostom, AT:
The Pentagon’s bowdlerized “analysis” of the jihad-inspired mass murder committed by a pious Muslim officer at Fort Hood is a disgrace. The willful blindness toward the essence of jihad will harm our troops.
I recently attended a briefing (an early iteration of the discussion contents are available here, entitled “To Our Great Detriment”) which elucidated in irrefragable detail the Pentagon’s willful capitulation to the dictates of Islamically-correct interpretations of jihad by various Muslim Brotherhood “consultants” to the Department of Defense (DOD). While the DOD adopts the absurdly apologetic interpretation of jihad at its most “aggressive” as a bloodless missionary “striving” to promote the Religion of Peace — negating the living legacy of jihad as a genocidal war doctrine, in practice as well as in theory — the Pentagon’s Muslim Brotherhood advisers, true to the authentic doctrines of jihad as an endless war of propaganda and deceit, continue to espouse jihad war to their Muslim constituencies.
The result of this stunningly corrosive process has been the willful subversion of U.S. DOD policy to the ultimate goals of both cultural and violent jihad: Islamization.

Forty Years of Feminism Now Bearing Fruit
By Pamela Geller, AT:
A new documentary, Oral Sex Is the New Goodnight Kiss, chronicles America’s moral decay. Sharlene Azam, a Canadian filmmaker, says, “If you talk to teens [about oral sex], they’ll tell you it’s not a big deal. In fact, they don’t consider it sex. They don’t consider a lot of things sex.” In the documentary, teenage girls talk casually about their sexual experiences and even their forays into prostitution.
One girl sums up the new attitudes: “Five minutes and I got $100. If I’m going to sleep with them anyway because they’re good-looking, might as well get paid for it, right?”
Azam said that this was going on in good homes right under parents’ noses: “The prettiest girls from the most successful families [are the most at risk]. We’re not talking about marginalized girls. [Parents] don’t want to know because they really don’t know what to do. I mean, you might be prepared to learn that, at age 12, your daughter has had sex, but what are you supposed to do when your daughter has traded her virginity for $1,000 or a new bag?”
This is the bitter fruit of forty years of feminist domination in the United States.

More bogus AGW information in IPCC report?
Ed Morrissey:
The UN’s team on climate change, the IPCC, has had a rather bad few months. First came the uncovered e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, a key research organization for the IPCC, that showed deception and professional character assassination by so-called scientists attempting to block data and analyses that contradicted the CRU conclusions on anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Next, a scandal hit closer to home when the IPCC’s reliance on a theory of dissipating Himalyan glaciers turned out to be unscientific speculation — that the IPCC badly misquoted anyway. Now the Telegraph’s James Delingpole reports that another key claim by the IPCC also comes from non-peer-reviewed work by scientists operating out of their field of work:
