A Crisis of Authority

Democracy is in peril: That is an emerging theme of the liberal left’s response to the Obama scandals. The argument misses the point, no doubt deliberately. What we are witnessing now is not a crisis of democracy but a crisis of authority. The administrative state, in thrall to a decadent cultural elite, has lost the consent of the governed.

Is democracy in peril? Is it really true that “we can’t be trusted” with America’s “brave and creative and unique experiment in self-rule.” That all depends on what the president meant by “we.”

Riots in Stockholm suburb over police shooting

Gangs of youth Muslims angered by the police shooting death of an elderly man hurled rocks at police and set cars and buildings on fire in a Stockholm suburb early Monday, forcing the evacuation of an apartment block.

Around 50 youths Muslims were involved in the riots in the suburb of Husby, west of Stockholm, police spokesman Lars Bystrom said.

Husby is one of several neighborhoods of apartment blocks in western Stockholm occupied primarily by immigrants Muslims.

“I understand that people Mulsims react like this,” said Rami Al-Khamisi from the organization Megafonen, which represents citizens in Stockholm’s suburbs.

Gay Magical Elves

The reign of The Gay Man as Magical Elf, who whenever he comes out appears before us as some kind of saintly E.T. whose sole purpose is to be put in the position of reminding us only about Tolerance and Our Own Prejudices and To Feel Good About Ourselves and to be a symbol instead of just being a gay dude, is—lamentably—still in media play.

Obama – “A Firm Believer”…

In Jesus, Guns and Freedom of the Press…No Really…

The president is also “firm believer in the need for the press to be unfettered in its ability to conduct investigative reporting and to facilitate a free flow of information.”

There’s always a “but” with this guy…

“There is a careful balance here that must be attained,”

Sensing a pattern here?

Gun homicides, violence down sharply in past 20 years

Gun-related homicides and crime are “strikingly” down from 20 years ago, despite the American public’s belief that firearm crime is on the upswing, a new study said Wednesday.

Looking back 50 years, a Pew Research Center study found U.S. gun homicides rose in the 1960s, gained in the 1970s, peaked in the 1980s and the early 1990s, and then plunged and leveled out the past 20 years.

“Despite national attention to the issue of firearm violence, most Americans are unaware that gun crime is lower today than it was two decades ago,” the researchers say.

Boston police say three additional suspects have been taken into custody in Boston Marathon bombings investigation.

Their names have not been released.  Police said more details will be released later today.

Earlier today, lawyers for two men friendly with suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said their clients have been extensively interviewed by federal investigators.

….Let’s say your college roommate asked you to take backpacks filled with fireworks to the dumpster just a day or two after terrorists bombed the city. You might not be bright enough to put two and two together just on that account. But when the FBI shows up afterward, why not just tell them, “Hey, Joe told me to dump some backpacks that had fireworks in them, and I’ll show you where I took them”?…
