Ann Coulter: Thanks for Raising My Taxes - What Else Can I Do For You?

Ann Coulter "...The public -- especially the taxpayer -- will always lose.

"That is simply a fact about government jobs that can't be avoided. What doesn't make sense is to implement a system that invites this kind of mutual back-scratching between the Democrats and public sector unions -- to wit, collective bargaining where there is no "management," but only co-conspirators against the taxpayers on both sides of the bargaining table."

Victor Davis Hanson: President Obama's Most Amazing Libyan Achievements

Cooptoons

Victor Davis Hanson  "Conservatives have complained that opposition — especially in the cases of then-senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden — to George W. Bush’s antiterrorism policies and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was more partisan than principled. Obama ended that debate by showing that not only can he embrace — or, on occasion, expand — the Bush-Cheney tribunals, preventive detentions, renditions, Predator attacks, intercepts and wiretaps, and Guantanamo Bay, but he can now preemptively attack an Arab oil-exporting country without fear of Hollywood, congressional cutoffs, MoveOn.org “General Betray Us”–type ads, Cindy Sheehan on the evening news, or Checkpoint-like novels. In short, Obama has ensured that the antiwar movement will never be quite the same."

From La Presse, Canada: What “Obama Doctrine?”  "In the hours and days that followed, journalists, experts and politicians searched his comments for a “doctrine” that could be applied to other conflicts, such as those by Presidents Harry Truman, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, among others, that are named after the presidents.

"They all drew a blank — well, almost."

A Clash of Integrities: Moral and Religious Liberty in the Armed Forces

Heritage  "The report of the Pentagon’s Comprehensive Review Working Group and the steps taken to date to implement the repeal do not allay concerns that the religious liberty and free speech rights of these service members and chaplains will be compromised to the detriment of their military careers. Congress therefore has a profound responsibility to monitor the implementation process and to assure not only that these rights are respected, but also that the 2010 repeal law itself is subject to continuing and candid reassessment."
