Michelle Malkin should be judged by her enemies: Libertarian kook Cathy Young for instance
"In Defense of Internment" does make a convincing case that some
Japanese aliens and even Japanese-Americans had pro-Japan sympathies,
and that the Japanese military was working to recruit agents in their
ranks. ... [T]he profiling measures Malkin advocates today, such as selective
monitoring of aliens and visitors from countries with terrorist links,
are moderate and fairly sensible. She is right that it's ludicrous to
invoke Japanese internment as a parallel.
Yet somehow Malkin's still an "extremist".
Only in your fevered mind of "awfulness".
Jonah Goldberg bows to the tyranny of the Legislative
When there is actual evidence of crimes, Grand Juries are summoned. When there isn't, the politicians bluff, bluster and fulminate, beguiling the simple.
Kausfiles: John McCain and Victoria Nuland helped throw out Ukraine's president in 2014, Never Trump and Democrats doing the same to Trump in 2019
The parallels are almost eerie. In both cases the elected president
(Yanukovych in Ukraine, Trump here) is regarded by the foreign policy
establishment as corrupt. In both cases the president's original
election was regarded as tainted--in Yanukovych's case by suspicions of
vote rigging, in Trump's case by charges of foreign meddling. In both
cases the villain is Russia. In both cases there is a big underlying
policy dispute that calls forth intense passions: In Ukraine, it was
whether the country would look West or East. In the US it's how
vigorously to resist aggressive Russian attempts to restore the former
Soviet empire in Ukraine and elsewhere.
And in both cases, victory means tossing aside the results of a
national vote. Ukraine’s "Revolution of Dignity" might not have been
legal under Ukraine’s constitution — but hey, that's why they call it a
revolution. Convulsions in foreign countries that bring better,
pro-Western rulers to power are rightly applauded by Americans.
