For anyone at all concerned with abuses of state power and civil liberties, “Right to Remain Silent,” a This American Life episode from a couple weeks back, is absolutely mandatory listening. Having personally spent 12 hours in a holding cell as a guest of the City of New York for the crime of walking more than two abreast on a public street—no charges, no apologies, of course—I found the beat cop’s recordings of his superior ordering him to arrest literally anyone daring to step out in groups of more than two within the boundaries of a certain precinct particularly chilling—and, sadly, not all that surprising.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Now you know what it's like when blacks get harassed by police. Black stories are not made up out of whole cloth.

Since a large number of blacks live in black-run, liberal Democrat cities, I believe their stories. Who here says they are made up? Democrats love state control. Detroit cops pulled us crackers over all the time for no reason. Gee, sounds like a Democrat thing.
