Brickbat: Whispered in the Wind

Sbures | Dreamstime.com

When members of the North Carolina Military Commission found that the press and members of the public had actually showed up at a public meeting where a presentation on a wind farm would be held, they pulled that item from the agenda and told everyone it would be discussed at a future meeting. Then, after the public and the media had left, members of the commission heard that presentation on the proposal.

I think I caught Ann Coulter committing an error.

Here she says: "Evidently, [Rep. Justin Amash] was suddenly struck by the realization that it's "not lawful to ban immigrants on the basis of nationality," despite having voted to ban refugees on the basis of nationality just 15 months earlier."

I think this is the comment Coulter is referencing:

"It's not lawful to ban immigrants on basis of nationality. If the president wants to change immigration law, he must work with Congress."

So...Amash said current immigration law doesn't allow discrimination based on nationality, and the Pres will have to work with Congress to change that yet Amash *also* voted to change immigration law to discriminate based on nationality.

What total inconsistency!

And they wonder why we're angry. Well... they might, but I'm sure they don't care.

"the presentation was taken off the agenda at the insistence of committee chairman Brig. Gen. Bud Martin....Martin pulled the presentation from the agenda and said it would be scheduled for another meeting at a time to be determined later.

Apparently, "later" meant "later that day."

Still think you live in a democracy? Still think you live in the "Land of the Free"?

Hmm, it's almost like not having to answer to the people is a bad idea.

Three cheers for the Shadow government!

Seriously, cheer or they may shoot you...
