The Other Great Wall

This one's in Israel.
Opinion: Tomgram: Ellen Cantarow, The Great Wall of Israel

The Israeli wall, endlessly under construction, is far longer, approximately twice as high, no less militarized, and no less a dystopian wonder of prison architecture.  It is also a thief.  As it meanders, it steals land.  It is, as the Berlin Wall once was, a stain on the human landscape.  But no American president, including Barack Obama, is likely to make a Reaganesque journey to the Middle East, denounce the wall, and call for its dismantlement.  It plays little part in the news in this country when the Israeli-Palestinian situation is raised.  It’s hard to imagine us celebrating its fall.

Living by the Gate From Hell

Much is heard of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the story of the determined, long-term nonviolent resistance of many Palestinian villagers to the loss of their lands, striking as it may be, is seldom told.  Here’s my report from just one village on the West Bank.

California doping our youths

Well maybe it's dope that certain children with proven disorders need.
California doping our youths
I was horrified to read recently that it is increasingly common in California to treat children diagnosed with Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with marijuana. California voters passed a law allowing doctors to recommend medical marijuana to their patients, including those under the age of 18. The law allows doctors to recommend marijuana "for any ... illness for which marijuana provides relief." Under that broad umbrella, doctors are pushing pot to treat all kinds of maladies, including ADHD.

Truly, this is horrifying. ADHD is described as a neurological disorder that prevents children from focusing on a specific task. In essence, people with ADHD have difficulty with self-regulation and self-motivation, owing to problems with distractibility, organization and prioritization.

SEALs Could Face Full Year in Prison Over Terrorist's Fat Lip

Hearing is DECEMBER 7th:

Heroic SEALs Matthew McCabe, Jonathon Keefe, and Julio Huertas could face a full year in prison for catching Ahmed Hashim Abed, the terrorist behind the gruesome Fallujah massacre of four Americans delivering food, because Abed acquired or managed to give himself a fat lip of the kind kids get playing touch football.

Just as moonbattery is trickling down from Washington to cripple our economy, and oozing out of Hollyweird to rot our culture, it has infected the military's top brass and is making it impossible to fight a war effectively.

The American Civil War of 2010

It's scary to think about. Do you guys think that civil war could be an inevitable occurrence in 2010. This guy reads a blog post from some blog I haven't been able to identify because the search engine results are so flooded with this story.
