President Obama is facing criticism for his declaration over the weekend that he would seek a new "international order," with some questioning how much U.S. sovereignty the administration is willing to cede in exchange for more global cooperation. Obama, delivering the commencement speech Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, said that "stronger international standards and institutions" and stronger alliances can "resolve" challenges ranging from terrorism to nuclear proliferation to climate change to economic decline.

Obama Call for 'International Order' Raises Questions About U.S. Sovereignty
U.N. Internet Tax Dead - For Now
Subject: txt gdd owg -
A United Nations plan to impose consumer taxes on such things as Internet activity and paying bills online in order to drastically restructure the world drug industry hit a wall of disagreement on Friday, and is likely dead -- for now.
Delegates to the World Health Organization’s annual World Health Assembly could not reach agreement on the plan -- first reported by Fox News -- to marry “innovative financing" for global public health with a radically reorganized research, development, production and distribution of medicines around the world...

It is time to kiss off the U.N.
Subject: txt owg bdd -
The U.N. is mostly anti Semitic, anti American and anti Sovereignty. They are universalistic, controlling, greedy and masters at redistributing wealth. Even with the largely socialist, Islamic push, directing the focus and decisions of the UN, we still give them 3 billion a year with all the money we don’t have.
Are we dumber than posts?
There are numerous take over and money making schemes the UN continues to develop and build, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)....

The parents of a high school student from Rockland County are demanding answers after their ninth grader was suspended for wearing rosary beads to school. He was suspended even though the school doesn't even have a policy banning them.
Jason Laguna is a former altar boy and proud Catholic. He got his rosary beads as a gift, thinks they look cool and sometimes wears them under his shirt at school. But last Friday, right before dismissal, he pulled them out on his way out, and was suspended as a result...

Democrats on BP spill: An argument to go green
Subject: txt grn - engry -
[Incorrect: there is no logical argument to go 'green' for our energy needs because it's impossible, as in not-possible, to get the the amount of energy we need from non carbon and nuclear sources.
What it IS an argument for is petroleum retrieval from our VAST reserves ON LAND - not a mile under the ocean where our government's meddling has forced them to drill.]

Goodbye to 'Law & Order:' 20 Years of Attacking Businesses, Conservative Ideals
"Law & Order," the popular courtroom drama that concluded its 20th and final season May 24, is a primetime TV legend. But the show that boasted its stories were "ripped from the headlines" often provided its viewers a distorted reality in which businesspeople were mostly portrayed as villains.
The Business & Media Institute examined "Law & Order," along with other television dramas' treatment of businessmen in 2005. BMI found that you were 21 times more likely to be kidnapped or killed by a businessman that a mobster.
Since 1990, the cop/attorney drama created by liberal Dick Wolf has covered a host of "bad" businesses from the company secretly testing roach poison on children and the greedy pharmaceutical execs selling a bad vaccine to the military to allegedly dirty defense contractors, landlords and medical device manufacturers.
In two out of three of its final episodes, the original "Law & Order" continued to demonize businessmen. One of those anti-business episodes villainized a bio-research firm, HemaLabs, for "stealing" DNA and blood samples from a family to create cancer treatment drugs. The company never compensated the impoverished family.

Left-wing Nation Magazine Facing $1 Mil Budget Deficit
The magazine's Washington Editor Chris Hayes wrote a fundraising email saying that "newspapers and magazines are having a rough time." Well, not all magazines. National Review's circulation has increased by roughly 25,000 since 2008. It would have been more accurate to say that liberal magazines are having a rough time.

POLL: 68% Oppose Boycotts of Arizona Over New Immigration Law
Subject: txt immig cali -
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 14% of Adults think it’s a good idea for cities or states to join that boycott. Ten percent (10%) don’t care one way or the other, and nine percent (9%) more are undecided.
Forty percent (40%), in fact, say they would avoid doing business with any city or state that boycotts Arizona. Forty-three percent (43%) disagree and would continue to do business with boycotting cities or states. Seventeen percent (17%) aren’t sure.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters nationwide favor passage of a law like Arizona’s in their own state. When asked specifically about the chief provision of the Arizona law, support is even higher. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters believe a police officer should be required to check the immigration status of anyone stopped for a traffic violation or violation of some other law if he suspects the person might be an illegal immigrant.
What Bias? Re: NBC Astonished Poll Finds Most Support Arizona Law and Anti-Terror Profiling; Skip GOP Surge
Subject: txt 2010 immig msm -
NBC also treated as surprising the majority backing for racial profiling to prevent terrorism, while Todd didn't mention what NBC's polling partner, the Wall Street Journal, found most newsworthy. Lead of the WSJ.com post:
Republicans have solidified support among voters who had drifted from the party in recent elections, putting the GOP in position for a strong comeback in November's elections, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
Todd used the video wall at 30 Rock to highlight the public's belief the government and BP haven't done enough to address the Gulf oil spill, but he didn't note another finding which counters the media's preferences and narrative, that despite the accident, 60 percent support “more drilling for oil off the coast of the United States.”

Oklahoma, Which Passed Serious Immigration Reform in 2007, Continues to Economically Outperform

Why is Oklahoma's economy more than OK these days?
The latest piece of evidence supporting that truth arrived on Friday, when Uncle Sam's Bureau of Labor Statistics released April's Regional and State Unemployment Summary.
As seen in the chart below, Oklahoma's unemployment rate has been significantly lower than the national rate for well over two years, and on average in 2009 was that way across all major ethnic groups (source data for 2006 to 2009 can be accessed here; scroll down to "Annual Average Statewide Data"):

Mosque unbecoming
Subject: txt gwot islm - hots -
In the 1960s, my parents left their despotic motherland of Syria for the promise of genuine liberty and religious freedom in America. In the decades since, we have led the construction of a number of mosques in the towns where we lived.
Some went up without challenge from the local community, but others met with palpable local discontent. In those cases, the law and the natural American affinity for religious freedom eventually paved the way to the ribbon cutting.
These were all humble mosques, funded locally by our congregations. It's plain the planned "Ground Zero mosque" is something very different...

Feeding America's twilight
Subject: txt hstry othr gdd extra - sclm libs - hots? -
Something is in dangerous intellectual disrepair in America. And if we don't fix it, America will be lost.
Here are just a few of the scores of examples:
• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called ObamaCare "an entrepreneurial bill" that should encourage Americans to be "creative," and be, say, "a musician." Quit your job, she urged; "focus on your talent" and don't worry about not having health care.
Perhaps that's because other hardworking, tax-paying schmucks are paying for this freeloader's socialist care?
• The Obama administration, in its formal response to the several states' class action lawsuit over ObamaCare, has invoked the Commerce and General Welfare clauses as its constitutional warrant to force people to buy health insurance (and, on this slippery slope, whatever else the government damn well commands).
But James Madison, father of the Constitution, clearly stated (in Federalist 41 in 1788) that the General Welfare Clause is applicable only to the 21 items listed in Article I, Section 8. There's nothing about the federal government forcing you to buy health insurance... [snip]
Shall the few examples of the kind of behavior and thinking that today is legion predominate and prevail, the American aurora will be but a quaint notion, replaced by a sad and tragic dusk.
