Tocqueville.it blog aggregator, in collaboration with the Association
Liberty and the magazine The Western
launches appeal - supported by an online petition - to invite the
Italian municipalities to name a street or a square
U.S. President Ronald Reagan in hundredth anniversary of his
birth.
the Italian left has asked the President of the Council a statement of facts
Libyans. Then, once arrived
, split hairs about what happened in the past few months
, forgetting of course the years in which
ruled.
Without the tare policy statements of majority and opposition
but there is one thing that no one has said and that is that the
real anomaly here is called Barack Obama.
Not a word, not a statement, a gesture, even
symbolic, to say what he thinks the American superpower
to what is happening at the Gaddafi regime.
There once was a Texan perhaps unpleasant, maybe a little late, maybe
easy come but certainly had the gift of clarity and consistency
. That Texan would be with the protesters and
against the Libyan regime in 2003 because he had already said in unequivocal terms that
colonel that there was neither a statesman nor a
friend.
years of Texas, our center
was always ready to explain to the world and Europe because we had to be
no ifs and buts with the United States. And the war for the liberation of Iraq
brought people to the streets and
peace flags out the windows.
Then came the Messiah in Chicago and changed suddenly, the narrative
on American issues. We would have liked, for that
bit 'of coherence that is required of those who would govern us, who spend two-
two little words-the only Nobel Peace Prize
incapable of saying something when a tyrant
bombard his people.
The letter from the President of the Republic, addressed to the presidents of the Chambers and the Council of Ministers, is totally and desperately not in compliance with the provisions of our Constitution. If only we had a political culture and do not forget not only dedicated to the bias, if only we had chairs where they sit consciences and not just retired, this complaint is now made by many different parties. Instead, everything is silent, leaving room for the politicians and conformity shaky.
The President of the Republic can not send letters, can not interfere with the legislative process, can not limit the sovereignty of Parliament. The Constitution describes the tools that can be used, but also makes clear that it can not do. We, for some time, we are abundantly planted outside the Constitution.
Decree-Law, so called "milleproroghe" (Which have only the name of a horror), was countersigned by Giorgio Napolitano, who identifies the need and urgency. After that is passed to the jurisdiction of the Parliament, which must provide for the conversion. Our legislative process provides that the decree-laws, and rules already in force, may be amended, modified, during the conversion (they then devise the means to remedy the legal relations arising in any term of the Old Testament). To me it does not seem reasonable, I would consider more linear approve or reject those decrees, without being able to change, but this is a personal opinion does not change the rule. Which, after all, Napolitano knows well, for it practiced and administered by the President of the Parliamentary Chamber. The fact is that the Senate amended the decree and, with the usual bad bad habit, he gorged standards even consistent with each other. The President of the Republic may, in this case, operate two tools: a. not countersign b. send a message to the Chambers, which implies a formal gesture and the countersignature of the Minister of Justice. Send a letter addressed to the three mentioned above, taking care to immediately pass the contents to the press, not just informal, is directly and grossly unconstitutional.
And, mind you, is not impressed that the executive (who has now declared agreed), but the Legislature. That parliamentary sovereignty is diminished. And it is very serious.
Napolitano, nell'improvvida letter made it clear that they can not use the first tool, or deny the counter, because in that case, the decree would be revoked. But he added that from now on, will not be more such qualms. This represents a further threat to the Parliament: or modifications to the decrees will be agreed with the Quirinale, or conversions will be useless. The government, in a sense, he rubbed his hands, because there is only one way to assure the President that the texts translated are the same as those proposed: submit sealed and immediately put their trust. Good result, a masterpiece!
the merits, however, Napolitano is right: the text given birth by the Senate is a disgrace. But for this there was everything a good message to Parliament, conceived without the anger that oozes from every part of the letter and following full-blown constitutional.
would like to add one thing, presumptuously and weight: I am ready to support these things in front of any constitutional lawyer, professor or varied, certain that no one can camp no valid argument that leads to different conclusions. Precisely for this reason I address an invitation to readers, sad look around, read, and you'll find these things so clearly, no one has the courage and the lucidity to say. And 'this is the really worrying part of this long and harrowing sunset constitutional.

On ilgiornale.it I just posted this analysis, which reproduce entirely here:
To understand what is happening in Tripoli must first consider the strategic framework. We are not addressed in the face of spontaneous, but induced aiming to replicate what happened in North Africa in the late eighties in the former Soviet Union. Even then, the revolt started from a small country, Lithuania, and at first no one imagined that the fire could spread to neighboring countries and it was even conceivable that the USSR would implode. The Maghreb is not the Soviet Union and there is no superstructure to blow up, but otherwise the similarities are obvious. The Tunisia is the smallest countries in the region and served as a catalyst for the other times. A wheel fell on the Mubarak regime, Libya is in turmoil, Iran and maybe tomorrow, maybe on the wave, Algeria, Morocco, Syria. What had in common schemes Tunisian, Libyan and Egyptian? Being ruled by authoritarian leaders, now old, discredited, they thought of spending power in young or incompetent loyalists.
It is no secret: the riots were widely encouraged - and in many ways prepared - by the U.S. government. For some time, Washington believed the inevitable explosion of popular discontent and fearing that would lead the revolt be Islamic extremists or extremist groups, has made what looks like a controlled explosion , at least in Egypt and Tunisia . Why is it controlled? Because before you embarrass Ben Ali and Mubarak, the Obama administration has cemented the already rock-solid relationship with the armies, which in fact never lost control of the situation and were the architects of the revolution. Do not Forget it today in Cairo and Tunis commanding generals, who in future will exert a decisive influence. Washington has won twice, has secured for many years to come, the loyalty of these two countries and has scored an extraordinary operation of image , showing the world that America is on the side of the people and democracy in regimes until now friends.
The dynamics are different because Gaddafi of Libya was not a U.S. ally and because the NGOs linked to the U.S. government have not been able to establish contacts and links with the Libyan civil society, in short, were unable to fertilize the soil in which to sprout the revolt. But that exploded the same. For infection and not feeding the loyalty of the army, but his discontent. As in all revolutions, are the armed forces to determine the outcome of popular revolts. Gaddafi during these hours pay the mistakes of the past. As noted by Domenico Quirico the press, the Colonel, an old man what was the coup, he never trusted generals and held wide-ranging purges. The men in uniform for 42 years have feared, but have never really loved. So now many of them, or damage to flight or go with the insurgents, especially in cities far from Tripoli. Gaddafi can count only on a small private militias and the army, this is the reason for a move otherwise inexplicable to recruit hundreds or perhaps thousands of African militiamen.
The consequence is inevitable: blood, blood and more blood. The impression is that Qaddafi will ultimately be forced to escape. The image, ridiculous, to raise in a car with an umbrella is reminiscent of Saddam Hussein being hunted by the Americans in the days of the fall of Baghdad. In any case, the situation could be very embarrassing for Italy. If the regime falls, Libya would again be the port of departure for our coastline for tens of thousands of immigrants. If you were to stand, it would be embarrassing for us to maintain good relations with a bloodthirsty leader. And in both cases millionaires dance contracts for our companies. Eni in the head. Let us not forget: Most of our energy supply depends on its own from North Africa. The explosion "controlled" is likely to be however, devastating to the interests of our country.
We have no choice and Italy certainly can not influence events, but the question is inevitable: the price is right?
"
Yet in these hours is taken the landing of illegal immigrants in Lampedusa . Of course they are all Tunisia ie, in a few days, it is difficult to predict, are all Egyptians. Thousands and thousands, to the point that the Italian government is forced to proclaim the humanitarian emergency.
But if in Tunisia has started a new, joyous time with extraordinary perspectives for growth, something does not . Logically, the Tunisians should remain. The reality, though, as always, is very different from what is described by the mainstream media.
I wonder why escape? Perhaps because the announced change is not that, due to a persistent control the general who commanded before? For now, the only tangible change is that the new-old regime, has eased border controls or at least is more difficult to monitor the coasts? And the Tunisians a life of hardship we have the promise of a new era in his country, which does not actually believe.
fine result. And Congratulations to Obama, without whom none of this would have been possible. Meanwhile, the price we pay ...

Those of Republic never learn. It is not enough to fool the Alessandra Farkas Courier on little more than a year ago exactly on the same subject. Nooo. Republic today repeats verbatim the nonsense of the discovery of Atlantis in the images of Google Earth. 
Deputy Mayor of Milan Riccardo De Corato on the judge's decision not to validate Monza arrests of two youths arrested over clashes with the Police yesterday in Arcore. 'Yet another free all - explains De Corato - a premonition that she will win in the end impunity. It is no coincidence that Milan is still waiting for trial for those who are guilty of serious facts before the stairs. What then are the same people who continue to foment unrest and well known to the police station. A black page in front of the world watching us, with 13 officers injured in the violence of anti-globalization. And to substantiate this line we learn that even today's students for employment of the players last November via Prinetti High School has taken the store, despite the complaint to the dean of the police '.

Bunga Bunga dell'antiberlusconismo media prepared by professionals, half and half ribaltonistico orgiastic Sabbath-square Loreto, showing, for a serene look and coldly technical, a disastrous political mistake and communication of the Italian left: Silvio Berlusconi began attacking (yes this is a historical strategy of bankruptcy), but they continued even extending the anathema, the curse, excommunication, the 'homo berlusconianus "as such type of voter-center, and common ordinary people who voted and vote for the PDL. 
It was predictable that the left falling back on the usual error, but it must be said that the shift from the campaign by "anti-Berlusconi" to "anti-Berlusconi" was even faster than you could imagine. The message, subliminal at all, it's been: "If it still supports, if you insist on defending it, then it means that you're like him, or, worse, that you want to live as a servant or an accomplice of the Sultan of Arcore. And again: "What a woman you are, if one votes he uses and humiliates women?". Or: "That son, father, mother you are, if you accept that this time the Cayman can get away with it?". Well, in hindsight, he got up a breeze with contempt and even social anthropology in relation to who is with the Premier, with attached insulation licks delivered in homes, offices, on buses: "So it is no longer with you talk ... "" Is it possible that you do not understand or do not want to see ... " and moralizing way, catoneggiando, and renewing the myth of the alleged superiority of the political, intellectual, ethical and above all, the Italian left. 
still have not understood, neither Republic nor the Democratic Party, which is exactly what the virus that hit the Italian left for years and his ability to stay in communication with the country. How you can point to the majority, if the animus of a deployment is to judge a people (as opposed to understand), of wanting to educate or re-educate (rather than listening), to give the report cards (instead of convincing policies to bid)? Luca Ricolfi had explained it to him for years, from an essay published a few gold years ago by Longanesi ("Why do we dislike? The left and all the best"). Then he re-explain it to him, and at least twice, no small portion of these voters left the report on patterns of Itanes election of 2008 (published by Il Mulino), in that session would have been the policy will shift to the right of a 3% of the total electorate had voted in previous elections Olive (something remarkable: more than one million people, about one-tenth of those who chose the list only DS-Margherita) and a year later, the European elections of 2009, -Ipsos poll Sole 24 Ore has gone a step further in describing the "break left" of the PDL, clarifying that nearly one worker in two (43%) decided to side with Berlusconi (if you include the league, you get to 58%), about twice (with the league, almost three times) of those that have declared pro-Pd. 
What else needed to understand? There was a final wake-up call for the left, namely the fact that the last three elections (2008, 2009 and 2010), surveys on the PDL were considerably lower then the actual results achieved by the party of Premier as if a significant number of voters was (and still is, now more than ever!) intimidated by a certain hatred and social, and then he has almost afraid or otherwise reluctant to declare (a confess!) its support for Berlusconi, but then in the secret vote and stravotarlo urn. It expects that any thinking mind of the Italian left's knowledge and think about.
