Women's Groups Blast 'Divisive' Pro-Life Super Bowl Ad -- Without Even Seeing It - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com: "It's a happy story with an inspirational ending, but pro-choice critics say Focus on the Family should not be allowed to air the commercial because it advocates on behalf of a divisive issue and threatens to 'throw women under the bus.'

'This organization is extremely intolerant and divisive and pushing an un-American agenda,' said Jehmu Greene, director of the Women's Media Center, which is coordinating a campaign to force CBS to pull the ad before it airs on Feb. 7.

'Abortion is very controversial, and the anti-abortion vitriol has resulted in escalated violence against reproductive health providers and their patients,' Greene said. 'We've seen that clearly with the murder of Dr. George Tiller,' the late-term abortion provider who was gunned down in his Kansas church in May 2009."

NOW calls them intolerant but doesn't want to tolerate their views! How can anyone think that make sense?!?

Good News for Blackwater Is Bad News for Industry | David Isenberg | Cato Institute: Commentary: "U.S. military reports from the scene indicated that Blackwater guards opened fire without provocation and used excessive force against Iraqi civilians."

"Reportedly American investigators were told that during the shootings at least one Blackwater guard continued firing on civilians while colleagues urgently called for a cease-fire. At least one guard apparently also drew a weapon on a fellow guard who did not stop shooting.

Reportedly FBI agents found that at least 14 of the shootings were unjustified and violated deadly-force rules in effect for security contractors in Iraq."

Mankiw's Baseless Arguments - Robert P. Murphy - Mises Institute

Mankiw's Baseless Arguments - Robert P. Murphy - Mises Institute: "When the Treasury pays someone interest, it's not inflationary; it simply leaves less money (out of general tax receipts) available for other spending purposes. On the other hand, when the Fed pays interest on reserves, it necessarily increases the monetary base.

Thus, Mankiw's solution for dealing with unprecedented excess reserves is for the Fed to create even more reserves in order to pay bankers not to make new loans. Does that sound like a good long-term plan for the economy?"
