  • 35 Kansas Republicans to determine fate of JoCo 17

    By JUSTIN KENDALL The Kansas Republican Party stripped 17 Johnson County precinct committee people of their voting rights for contributing to Democratic candidates. The Kansas City Star quoted state GOP executive director Christian Morgan saying the Kansas GOP's executive committee will determine whether the precinct committee people will get their voting rights back. Morgan said some would. Some wouldn't. But who gets to decide? The Kansas Republican Party's Web site offers the following lis

  • Last weekend's protest: "End the Fed!" Rally

    By CAROLYN SZCZEPANSKIIn these days of bankruptcy, foreclosure and general economic calamity, plenty of citizens are pissed off at how the government has handled their hard-earned dollars. Dozens of liberty-loving metro residents crowded a corner near Penn Valley Park on Saturday to express their disdain for our paper-based monetary system. Members of the local chapter of the Liberty Restoration Project and folks who just caught wind of the protest on the Internet joined forces with demonstrato

  • Culture warrior Bill O'Reilly takes on 'pro-abortion zealots' and 'Fox News haters'

    Bill O'Reilly took to his Fox News bully pulpit last night to defend his good name in the wake of George Tiller's murder. There's been a whole lot of finger pointing after Tiller's killing, and some of it's in O'Reilly's direction.O'Reilly was playing victim, saying he knew as soon as he heard about Tiller's murder that the "pro-abortion zealots" and "Fox News haters" would tar him with his own words. Those words -- repeatedly referring to Tiller as "Tiller the killer" or "Tiller the baby killer

  • Mrs. Sebelius doesn't go to Washington

    So the big political news over the weekend was that Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has taken herself out of the running for any possible cabinet position in the Obama administration.Yawn.Now Sebelius says she wants to focus on Kansas' massive budget challenges rather than joining the Obama administration. That's a noble sentiment. But I'm inclined to believe the state Republicans' theory that she was never in serious consideration. Over the weekend, Kansas party chair Kris Kobach told the Star: "

    Ranjit Arab had already read a story in the Lawrence Journal-World about Mike Sanger when he saw news footage of the Iraq war veteran returning his medals to Congressman Dennis Moore's office. He'd never met the guy, but the media portrayal of the anti-war activist rubbed Arab, pursuing a master's degree in journalism at the University of Kansas, the wrong way. With an award-winning documentary already on his resume, Arab decided to set the record straight himself by doing Sanger's story justice

    Kris KobachLast year, officials from the Missouri State Highway Patrol received training from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that gave them the authority to conduct immigration investigations and detain undocumented migrants. Where do local cops get off executing immigration law? Well, in 1996 Congress passed a law with a provision called 287(g) that opened the door for county and state officials to take a class, sign an agreement and essentially become a local arm of ICE. That progra

The Kansas Meadowlark exposed the impostor Kobach Wednesday morning. Well, not really. The fake Kobach makes it clear that the account doesn't belong to the real deal with a disclaimer writing "I am not the REAL Kris Kobach" and claiming to be from "Batshit Crazy, Kansas," which actually returns a couple of addresses (two in KC and one in Wichita).

    Kris KobachThe New York Times ran a big profile on University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor (and Kansas Secretary of State candidate) Kris Kobach's state-by-state, city-by-city approach to fighting illegal immigration. But barnstorming the cities and states is leaving a patchwork of laws that opponents say, if he's successful, would "cover the country in a patchwork of local immigration rules that are contrary to the federal law and costly to defend." But for his supporters, Kobach is be
