Subject: Arab and Scotsman
| An Arab Sheik was admitted to hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store some of his blood type in case the need arose. As the gentleman had a very rare blood group, it could not be found locally, so the call went out to all countries. Finally a Scotsman was located who had a similar blood type. The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman, as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, a small bag of diamonds and £10,000 in cash. A couple of weeks later the Arab required further corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a jar of candies. The Scotsman was shocked that this time the Arab had not reciprocated his kind gesture as lavishly as he had anticipated. He telephoned the Arab and said, "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me another BMW, more diamonds and money. But you only gave me a thank-you card and a jar of candies." "Aye," the Arab replied: "but I now have Scottish blood in my veins." |

Sandra Fluke Argued for Mandatory Coverage for Sex-Change Surgery
Posted on | March 5, 2012
Rather belatedly, we are becoming aware that this supposedly typical Georgetown coed is not very typical at all:
[B]irth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if "gender reassignment" surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law.
The title of the article . . . is "Employment Discrimination Against LGBTQ Persons" and was published in the Journal's 2011 Annual Review.
Remember, as Byron York previously reported, Fluke was rejected as a last-minute substitute witness at a Feb. 16 committee hearing because staffers for Chairman Issa were unable to discover Fluke's claim to expertise relevant to the subject of the hearing. This law school journal article is the sort of thing that might have been discovered about Fluke's background, had the Democrats who put Fluke forward as a witness done so with the usual 72-hour advance notice. Here's one brief quote from the article:
Transgender persons wishing to undergo the gender reassignment process frequently face heterosexist employer health insurance policies that label the surgery as cosmetic or medically unnecessary and therefore uncovered.
Now, imagine Fluke trying to defend this language about "heterosexist" policies in a public hearing, with Republican members of the committee questioning her about whether religious institutions (or private businesses, or taxpayers) should also be required to foot the bill for "gender reassignment."
Congratulations, America: You've been scammed!
UPDATE: Dan Collins at The Conservatory points out that the Obama administration is already providing illegal immigrants with "hormone treatments for transgendered people."
Of course, this only makes sense. We wouldn't want these foreign transpeople to go back to wherever they (illegally) came from and say that they'd been the victims of American "heterosexism," would we? Then President Obama would have to issue another apology to the foreigners we had victimized.

Endless Spending
David Boaz • March 5, 2012 @ 8:51 am
Urging Congress to spend more money on infrastucture, Rep. John Sarbanes (Big Government-Maryland) says, "You've got to kind of get past this mentality that you can't spend any money at all."
Right. Because it's that kind of attitude that has given us a federal budget of $3.8 trillion, up more than 100 percent in a decade, and spending at permanently higher levels of GDP:

Don't Invade Portugal
by Jacob G. Hornberger
We can only hope that President Obama doesn't order a military invasion of Portugal for refusing an extradition request by the U.S. government to extradite a convicted murderer to the United States.
The case involves 68-year-old George Wright, who was convicted by a New Jersey court for a 1962 killing of a gas station attendant during a robbery. Wright had served only part of his 15-30 year prison sentence when he broke out of a jail and went on the lam. U.S. officials claim that Wright escaped the country by helping to hijack a plane but he was never convicted of that crime.
By comparing fingerprint records in Portugal, where all citizens are required to be fingerprinted, with Wright's fingerprints, U.S. officials were able to confirm that Wright, who had assumed a new name, was the man they were looking for.
The Portuguese courts, however, recently denied the extradition request based on the notion that the statute of limitations had expired under Portuguese law. The U.S. government has apparently accepted the ruling and is conceding that the case is now closed.
Doesn't that mean that a convicted murderer goes free? Yes, it does. Doesn't it mean that he could commit more murders, including by returning to the United States and committing them? Yes again.
But the law is the law. And under the law, people who wrongfully kill others often go free for what some would call legal technicalities.
Could the U.S. government take another approach? Sure. It could do what it did with Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks. It could order a military invasion of Portugal, with the intent of capturing or killing Wright. Or it could fire a drone missile at Wright's home or drop a bomb on it. None of that would be legal but there is little that Portugal could do about it if the United States pursued that route.
Of course, that's the route that the U.S. government chose to pursue after the Afghan government refused President Bush's extradition demand for Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks.
Bush's extradition demand is of critical importance because it reveals why he decided to order an invasion of Afghanistan. After all, many in the mainstream media and many interventionists continue to claim that the reason Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan was because Afghan officials had participated in the 9/11 attacks by knowingly "harboring" bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
Bush's extradition demand demonstrated that that simply wasn't the case. If U.S. officials had evidence indicating that the Taliban had knowingly participated in the 9/11 attacks, Bush would never have bothered with seeking bin Laden's extradition. He would instead have simply ordered an attack on Afghanistan on the principle of self-defense.
In principle, there is no difference between the Wright murder case and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Sure, there were many more people killed on 9/11, but the number of people murdered does not affect the underlying principles of the two cases. If Wright had murdered 100 people as part of his robbery attempt, it would have been the same as murdering one. If the 9/11 attack had killed 10 people, the legal principles would have been the same as killing hundreds.
The fact is that the 9/11 attacks, like Wright's killing of that gas-station attendant, constituted criminal offenses. Whether the 9/11 attacks are considered murder or terrorism, the fact remains: we're still dealing with criminal offenses, not acts of war. That principle was manifested by the fact that Zacharias Moussaoui, one of the 9/11 co-conspirators, was convicted of the crime in federal district court.
One problem that Bush had was that unlike the case with Portugal, there was no extradition treaty between Afghanistan and the United States. That meant that legally the Afghan government was under no obligation to honor or even consider Bush's extradition demand.
Nonetheless, the Afghan government did consider Bush's request. It responded that it would consider delivering bin Laden to an independent tribunal upon receipt of evidence showing that bin Laden had orchestrated the attack, evidence that would have been required in an official extradition proceeding.
Bush refused to deliver such evidence and made it clear to the Afghan government that his extradition demand for bin Laden was unconditional. When the Afghan government refused to comply with Bush's demand, Bush ordered his invasion.
What Bush was doing was employing the military to enforce criminal laws and illegally at that, given that Afghanistan was under no legal requirement to agree to Bush's extradition demand. Bush's use of the military in this instance was no different in principle from the use of the military to enforce drug laws in Latin American countries. In such cases, the matter remains a criminal-justice problem even though it's the military, rather than the police, that is being used to address the problem.
Countless innocent people have been killed and maimed in Afghanistan in the process of trying to kill or capture bin Laden and other al-Qaeda members. The U.S. military has now been occupying Afghanistan for some ten years, with no end of violence in sight. Thanks to the U.S. invasion and occupation, Afghanistan has also been converted into the biggest terrorist-producing machine in history.
Compare that to how the U.S. government addressed the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. The government addressed that bombing in much the same way it addressed the Wright case. One of the WTC co-conspirators, Ramzi Yousef, escaped to Pakistan. Rather than bomb or invade Pakistan in an attempt to arrest Yousef, U.S. officials chose to simply wait him out, figuring that he might pop up somewhere down the line.
Sure enough, after a couple of years or so, Yousef popped up in Pakistan. The police, acing in concert with U.S. officials, surrounded him, took him into custody, and remanded him to the United States for trial. He was prosecuted in federal district court and convicted, and is now serving time in a federal penitentiary. Pakistan was never bombed or invaded in the process of getting Yousef.
Invading Afghanistan to get bin Laden was the very worst thing the U.S. government could ever have done, just as invading Portugal to get George Wright would be. The best approach on matters relating to criminal justice is to leave the military out of them.

"Consider that we see actual conservatism with the rise of Ron Paul like we have never seen it here before since Kennedy, since before Roosevelt, since ever."
End the Republican Party; start the Ron Paul Party
By Bernie Quigley - 03/05/12 08:32 AM ET
Conrad Black, the conservative editor of the New York Sun, says the first words Fidel Castro has ever uttered that he has agreed with are those recently published on his blog in which he opined that the current Republican race is one of the most inane and stupid events in modern world history. George Will says they should just let it go until 2016. And the editors of The Washington Post say Republicans can no longer avoid their Limbaugh problem.
Good news for President Obama, who remains at 60 percent at Intrade. Indeed, they may begin to ask if there will even be a 2016 for Republicans. The constant rant from Limbaugh and his mindless others on the radio waves suggest the tailwind of a lost cause, like the bitter wind that persisted following the Civil War with Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Ku Klux Klan, and the Brown Shirts after World War I.
The beginning of wisdom, said William F. Buckley Jr., quoted by Will in the weekend Post, is "fear of the Lord." Maybe, but not my experience. That, I think, is the problem with the current batch of Republicans formed by Buckley and Will: They see the wrath before they see the glory. They enter life by way of the shadow. Now, I question whether their shadow play can survive. But the Pauls seem different.
Consider that we see actual conservatism with the rise of Ron Paul like we have never seen it here before since Kennedy, since before Roosevelt, since ever.
The beginning of a new conservative period rises today and Ron Paul and son Rand have by now institutionalized the new thinking and it will not go away as it is the rising political culture of the young, and it makes sense. Forget about 2012 and 2016 and start a new party. Call it something else; the Conservative Party or the Federalist Party. It will help explain what these words mean again, or maybe for the first time.
If Obama wins, he will bide his time. The mainstream establishment featuring Jeb Bush, his ready sidekick Chris Christie and the Weekly Standard crew immediately stage their 2016 comeback but are ignored. History has passed them by in 2012. A new conservative youth culture arises featuring Ron Paul, constitutional government, state sovereignty and regional rights and responsibility. Rand Paul/Judge Napolitano 2016 awaken a new American era and it runs the century.

The Illegals: Another Angle
by Fred Reed
From many Americans, though from fewer who have any idea what they are talking about, you could get the idea that illegal immigrants are brown sludge, the lazy and shiftless, the least intelligent of their countries, those unable or unwilling to make a living at home, who therefore go the the US to live on welfare. A certain paucity of logic informs much of this. If they come to live on welfare, how do they take the jobs of Americans, a crime of which they are regularly accused? But I note this only in passing. I do not mean to suggest that logic or knowledge have a place in politics.
The fact is that the illegals come to work, and do, well and hard, which is why conservative patriotic businessman block attempts to restrict immigration.
Which would be easy to do. Again, they come to work. Don't hire them, and they won't come. Illegals don't take jobs from Americans. Americans give them the jobs.
But, whatever you think of the Latin hordes, it may be interesting to know a little about them. Let's wing it.
Consider a man of twenty living in the slums of , say, Tegucigalpa with his wife and two small children. The local economy is a disaster. He can barely feed his kids, much less send them to school. "Barely feed them" is not a concept many Americans understand. It means that their stomachs hurt, that their physical development is threatened, that they cry and ask for food. Any parent who doesn't do anything possible to feed them, to include robbing banks, is irresponsible. Ask yourself what you would do.
So Pablo and Maria talk it over, and decide that the only way out is for him to go to the US, work, send money home and, just possibly, eventually bring the family to America. There are good reasons why Americans might not approve his plan. From Pablo's point of view, watching his kids starve, it is the only plan.
Getting from Honduras to San Francisco or South Carolina is dangerous, very dangerous. Crossing the Guat border means braving the Mexican police, who are brutal and corrupt. Typically the migrants go north through Mexico by riding on the roofs of cargo trains. It is not for the weak. On the trains they are subject to attacks by gangs, as for example Mara Salvatrucha, products of Reagan's romantic meddling of El Salvador. The "Mara" is from "marabunta," a swarm of army ants. The Maras are savage, sadistic, and live by robbing migrants of the money they have saved for the coyote, often beating them into cripples and raping the women. I would much rather do a tour on the ground in Afghanistan than ride those trains. It is safer. In Afghanistan you eat, do not have to drink from filthy pools beside the tracks, and do not spend nights on top of a box car in jeans and tea shirt during a sleet storm. Call the migrants anything you like, but leave out "gutless."
Women also make this trip, for the same reason: to send money home for their kids. Don't, please, tell me about oppressed co-eds at Dartmouth.
So Pablo, perhaps months later, gets to Laredo. Let us say that he started out with $2000 US, which is roughly what a coyote costs, and has managed not to be robbed of it. If he has it, it was probably put together by his extended family by forgoing shoes, food, what have you. He now finds himself in a city that preys on people like Pablo. He has little idea what he is doing. Twenty years in a slum in Teguce doesn't make you wise in the ways of the Mexican-American frontier. The police will rob him, perhaps torturing him to find out where he has stashed the money, if indeed he has any, and send him back to Honduras. Nasty gangs will do the same, except for deporting him. Migrants drown trying to swim the Rio Bravo.
Several ways exist of crossing into the US. You can find a desert crossing poorly guarded and hope not to be killed by rattlesnakes or get lost and die of thirst. In the Mexican press I have read of tunnels thorough which 150 illegals pass per night. At $2k each, that's $300,000 a night in a great tax bracket. Or a coyote can get you across and, if he doesn't just take your money and disappear, he may put you into a van, and off you go. Bingo.
Once away from the border, things get easier for Pablo. He may work a few days to get bus fare to Raleigh-Durham, where he has a friend. With the friend's help, he gets a job in construction. Here the American national hypocrisy works to his advantage. The construction firm of course knows perfectly well that Pablo is undocumented. Companies love illegals. It means that they can pay him dirt, no benefits, no Social Security, and he can't complain without getting deported. In any contest between money and patriotism, money wins. American immigration officials catch just enough Pablos to keep the rest intimidated, but not enough to reduce the supply of cheap labor. It is a sweetheart deal for businessmen.
Pablo may or may not be a model uncitizen, may drink too much, may use drugs,or go into crime. Or he may not. He is very likely to send money, substantial amounts of it, back to Tegucigalpa. In Jalisco, where I live in Mexico, remittances from migrants are a crucial part of the economy. Pablo also is not unlikely to begin planning to bring his family to the US.
Family values. Putting his life on the line for his children. The work ethic. All that.
Is massive immigration good for the US? I doubt it. Are all the illegals wonderful people? No. In the long run will there be a happy ending? I don't know; to date there hasn't been.
Yet men and women who will claw and save for a coyote, and ride that godawful train, at dead serious risk of being raped, robbed, tortured and beaten into medical curiosities left beside the tracks, who will cross into a hostile country whose language they do not know, and live in constant fear of being caught, all to feed their families and just maybe give them a better life in a better place – I think they deserve other than utter contempt.
