[David Olive's Everybody's Business] David Olive's Everybody's Business: The tragedy of Iraq, with its 200,000 dead among innocent Iraqi civilians and 4 million displaced Iraqis, is winding down - the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place. But the legacy remains in a dysfunctional, newly created Homeland Security department - an agglomeration of more than a dozen U.S. agencies including an effective FEMA that was demoted and rendered ineffectual ahead of Katrina - that today is working hard to divert the world's best and brightest New World immigrants to Canada rather than risk strip-searches at JFK and Sea-Tac.

For example, internationalists opportunistically combine principles of super-capitalism with communism to affect a one-world economic system perceived to be kinder and gentler than either parent, but wrongly so.

[The Quran Blog - Enlighten Yourself] Hijab in Islam: In a televised speech in December 2003 he declared that the ”˜Islamic veil, whatever name we give it, the skullcap and a cross that is of plainly excessive dimensions have no place in the precincts of state schools.’ He made reference to the underlying principles of the French constitution arguing that secularism was being undermined by the encroachment of religion.

[WE Blog] Reflect on words of founders | WE Blog | Wichita Eagle Blogs: “In our country, “Judeo-Christian values” is shorthand for a complex idea: the common culture of the American majority. The values are called Judeo-Christian because they derive from the complementary ideas of free will, the moral accountability of the individual rather than the group, the spiritual imperative of imperfect man’s struggle to do what is right and the existence of true moral law in the teachings of Christ and the Jewish prophets.

Founders rolling in”¦3.2.1.: It was made to be intentionally difficult to amend to prevent giant swings of the pendillum by those who are easily persuaded by every wind of doctrine (like the obama generation who voted for him not knowing who he really was.) The rest of your post is tangentially disconnected from the Constitution and has nothing to do with the original intent of the founders. And indeed God is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence which was instrumental in securing our modern state and was signed by many who later participated in the creation of the Constitution.

[Constitutionclub.org] Tom Hanks' Comments on “The Pacific” | Constitutionclub.org: The U.S. has risked much to help Muslims in the Balkans and Somalia, freed Kuwait and Iraq in two wars against Saddam Hussein, liberated or helped to liberate Afghanistan both from the Russians and the Taliban, and has the most generous immigration policy toward Muslims of any country in the world, ensuring a degree of tolerance unimaginable to Muslims in, say, China or Russia. Hanks should compare the U.S. effort to foster democracy in Iraq with the Russian conduct in Chechnya to understand “what’s going on today.”

[Moe_Lane's blog] Charlie Cook: DOOM. | RedState: If they voted on him for most of the hopey-changey reasons, like closing Gitmo, getting us out of Iraq, gay rights, immigration rights, and many others, they can see that he’s really done absolutely nothing. So why should they believe him this time?

[mental_floss Blog] mental_floss Blog » What Was Your Favorite Album When You Were 13?: 3) There is a movie called With Honors, in which a homeless man, played by Joe Pesci, gives an impassioned speech to a group of students at Harvard about how the greatest thing about The Constitution is that the founding fathers allowed for it to be changed. That they knew, even then, that what they considered to be most important to preserve the country then might not be in the future.

[Walter Russell Mead's Blog] The Killings in Kyrgyzstan - Walter Russell Mead's Blog - The ...: Over the last couple of centuries, this process of rising in-group loyalty and ethnic conflict and displacement (often called ‘national awakening’) has been spreading around the world.  Today we see it in Central Asia and in many places in Africa (where it is often called ‘tribalism’).  There is much more of it to come.  The violence may even grow: the internet allows the rapid development and dissemination of intense group cultures based on paranoiac readings of the ‘Other’, and modern weapons and means of communication allows violent movements to grow and act more quickly than in former times, and to use more destructive weapons when they do.  The Hutu massacre of Rwandan Tutsis was a kind of intermediate phenomenon: radio allowed the genocidaires to act quickly, but lacking better weapons they were thrown back on machetes.
