Taki's Magazine:Donald Trump: Carnage Recruiter -- by David Cole
The above is a great article, full of both humor and insight, sent me by my son.
Its main point is that perhaps Muslims do have compromised stability system which permits them to turn their lives to murder and extremism at the drop of a Trump Generalization. He uses the attacks on Trump by pundits, Democrats, and Republican establishment as proof of these assertions, and applies them deftly to other accused extremist groups such as whites, the religious in our midst, etc.
Great article, please read it.

WAPO: The GOP’s sympathy for sedition-- Dana Milbank
Interesting attack. The Merriam Webster's simple definition of sedition is: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
Dana discriminates against showing weapons (none have been used so far) and those who meekly allow themselves to be arrested. A good quote here comes from Ben Franklin:
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote it may not be Ben's, but it sounds like him. The point is that there are fighting situations within a democracy, things we cannot let go bye. I am not sure Oregon is one of them, and hope no violence will arise.
But the same argument he makes can be made of many cases where States and Cities have ignored Federal law and declared amnesty for illegals, legality for Pot, etc. Why did Mr. Milbank not attack these? I do expect him to attack the Alabama supreme court's refusal to obey the Supreme court's ruling on gay marriage, but again where is the difference?
There is a law, I disobey, I get away with it because ..
Or There is a law, I disobey, I go to jail.
I prefer the second rendition, but I don't believe Dana does.
