What country is he president of?

In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man without a Country,” a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, “Damn the United States! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!”

The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: “You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country’s naval vessels – under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed.”

And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan’s dying hours in his small stateroom – now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore – never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America, refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.

Depends on what the meaning of “hostilities” is…

posted by Bob

When it comes to meanings of words, many politicians subscribe to the thumbscrew theory of lexicography: torture the language until it says what you want it to say. Bill Clinton concerned himself with little words like “is,” but Barack Obama has bigger fish to fry: he wants to redefine the word “hostilities.” The Bard of Murdock elaborates:

For Democratic presidents
Afflicted with precision,
The definition of a word
Can be a grave decision.

It stands to reason that elites
Who take a small excursion,
Would want to find replacement words,
And with them a diversion.

But stupid is as stupid does
And ‘is’ is self-defining;
No matter how Bill Clinton spins,
The word needs no refining.

A decade later, once again
We’re back to definitions,
This time primarily with guns,
With bombs and live munitions.

The President prefers what he
Would call kinetic action;
He hates the word hostilities,
Preferring an abstraction.

I’m sure Gaddafi and his friends
Might raise a point of order,
As NATO’s bombs drop left and right
Inside their country’s border.

But if we were to call it war
Then, per our Constitution,
It would require Congress pass
An awkward resolution.

So following in Bubba’s steps
And Democrat tradition,
The President just redefines
And doesn’t seek permission.

Excited by power

Everybody who plans to set foot in a voting booth on Nov 6, 2012 should read this:

Excited by power, Obama ignores legal restraints By Timothy P. Carney – May 22, 2011

http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/05/excited-power-obama-ignores-legal-restraints

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers a statement about Libya in the East Room of the White House March 18, 2011 in Washington, DC. Under the Constitution and under the War Powers Act, the president is allowed to wage defensive wars for up to 60 days without prior Congressional approval. Now that 60 days have passed since the United States joined the hostilities, Obama’s war is more clearly illegal.

President Obama launched a U.S. war in Libya two months ago with no congressional approval. Under the Constitution and under the War Powers Act, which allows the president to wage defensive wars for up to 60 days without prior approval, Obama probably broke the law.

Now that 60 days have passed since the United States joined the hostilities, Obama’s war is more clearly illegal. But nobody should expect this to matter to a president with a long record of disregarding legal and constitutional limits on presidential and federal power.

Presidential arrogation of power is nothing new. President George W. Bush’s lawyer John Yoo declared in a post-9/11 memo that no congressional “statute …. can place any limits on the president’s determinations” about how to fight terrorism, proclaiming such decisions “are for the president alone to make.”

But Barack Obama ran against this imperial mind-set. On war powers, he said, “The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

More broadly, he declared, “No more ignoring the law when it’s inconvenient. That is not who we are. . . . . We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.”

Now that he’s president, Obama apparently believes the inverse: Stubborn rulers should not be subject to the whims of the law.

Equality: Part 3

Whenever I hear politicians or social theorists decry income inequality, I always want to ask them how they think “income equality” could be achieved. As far as I can see, the only way to accomplish such a thing would be for the government to confiscate 100% of everything that everyone earns, and then write a check for an identical amount to every citizen. Not even the most left-wing politicians would be reckless enough to advocate that publicly, so they cook up alternate schemes to accomplish the same thing without resorting to such drastic measures as cold-turkey collectivization.

Progressive taxation is their favorite ploy, mostly because it’s so popular with people in lower tax brackets, and even more popular among people who don’t pay taxes at all. (Incidentally, progressive taxation is also completely unconstitutional, since it violates the guarantee of equal protection of the law, but that’s a subject for another column.) The money thus taken from higher earners can then be distributed to lower earners and non-earners through a mind-boggling array of income transfer programs. Although these schemes have proven depressingly effective at vote buying, they have utterly failed at the goal of eradicating “income inequality.” Continue reading →
