"But if you're going to call yourself a defender of the First Amendment, please defend the whole thing and not just the parts you make a living from." The entire argument for the press is the ability to push their agenda, the people howling at AP are ironically protesting the actions of their very own creation, the man who is pushing all of their agendas. Were it not for the malfeasance of the press corps during the election cycle in 2008, Obama would not be president. They will kiss and make up with him in short order...

What makes you so sure he doesn't want them to go back into the fight?

An increasing trend that we will see is the offshoring of, not just a portion of the profits, the entire corporation and it's leadership. Companies will start headquartering in foreign countries, places that are smart enough to allow them to be successful without harassing them. You can't make this stuff up...

We have a problem that electing a different majority in a legislative body is NOT GOING TO FIX. Even if you elect a majority of actual conservatives into the house and senate and had a conservative president, the liberal/progressive Democrats are always the major force waiting to take the those positions back. The people have proven that they are willing to elect representation that subscribes to this ideology. Corporations like Apple are not running their businesses based only on just the next two years or four years. The writing on the wall is increasingly telling them the net effect of government and the future net effect of the government's actions is not conducive to their success.

The fact that he is copping to being behind planting the question leads me to believe someone well above him had him do it. What we know is that those truly responsible for this "targeting" are going to go scot free, nobody is going to tie this directly to Obama.

We're more worried about the support he gives Islam here in the US, and there's plenty of it.

"Carney is now comparing reporters' questions on the IRS to birtherism. Fabulous." Funny, but both things are truly scandals. Just because the media positively refuses to look at the birther issue doesn't make it not true...it just proves how low the media has sunk, even the right. Cowards almost all.

You can tell they are cowards because their activities are punctuated by mobs, never arguing their cases one on one. It'd be fun to watch Dr Sowell take these bullies on individually...few could stand more than a few minutes of that level of reason.

The third group, civilized people who are not afraid, tend conservative and are marginalized for their common sense. One wonders that Dr Sowell is still a member of academia, being both conservative and a MASTER of common sense, surely he must be resented by both the loser wimps and the barbarian leftists. Then again, being the smartest man in any room probably gives him such an advantage that the wimps wilt.

I am, of course referring to a global government, central planning run amok. They are doing this on purpose, don't doubt it.
