Thanks, Liberals: Our Unsustainable Debt; America is on the verge of financial disaster.

Reason.com  "If these growing deficits aren’t addressed by immediately and dramatically slashing spending—and there’s zero indication that such a shift will happen anytime soon—we are about to embark on the most massive transfer of wealth from younger taxpayers to older ones in American history. It will be not just unprecedented but unfair: Our children will have to pay for the decisions we make today. To stop that from happening, the country must change course. "

Feel like doing some research?

Neal Boortz  Here's one topic among many for you to choose: "A little reading of history will show you that despots and tyrants know that they must control the flow of information if they are to maintain power. In recent days your President has been telling graduates that all of this information is "putting pressure" on them and "our democracy." Obama's FCC has also made moves to control the Internet. Is there any reason to believe that Obama has a problem with the free flow of information in our society?'
Then there's this: "Considering the fact that we have a president who has called the private sector "the enemy;" a president who clearly does not favor the concept of free enterprise and capitalism ... is there the slightest chance that this president might be engaged in an intentional effort to destroy or cripple our free market economy so that he can replace it with a centrally-planned economy more to his liking? Even the SLIGHTEST chance?"

Supreme Court To Face Mecca

Ann Coulter "The reason Democrats are obsessed with controlling the courts is that unelected judges issuing final edicts is the only way liberals can attain their insane policy agenda. No group of Americans outside of Nancy Pelosi's district would vote for politicians who enacted laws similar to the phony "constitutional rights" liberal justices proclaim from the Supreme Court."

Embracing dhimmitude

American Thinker "What is at stake is nothing less than our liberty. Americans are giving up free speech when the subject is Islam. Jihad is gaining ground."  Thomas Lifson   Then this little jewel:  "Hey, wanna be part of the group that goes up to Parliament, man, cut off some heads?"

Obama Defense Dept: We’re Not Going To Attack Iran, And If Israel Tries We Might Shoot Down Their Jets

Mere Rhetoric "America’s top military officer wouldn’t rule the possibility today of U.S. forces firing on Israeli jets, if Israel launched a pre-emptive strike on Iran… a young Air Force ROTC cadet asked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen to respond to a “rumor.” If Israel decided to attack Iran, the speculation went, those jet would need to fly through Iraqi airspace to reach their targets… might U.S. troops shoot down the Israeli jets… Mullen tried to sidestep the question…”I am hopeful that this will be resolved in a way where we never have to answer a question like that.” "  Our history-deprived youth should study up on Vichy France ; Lord, may America never become them.

Liberals maneuver to raise your gas prices

Washington Times "Long-anticipated climate-change legislation is scheduled to be unveiled in the Senate today. The ostensible purpose is to clean the air by cutting carbon emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. If the bill becomes law, though, consumers will get smoked as they are forced to pay more for a fill-up." Annnnd: Repackaged Cap and Trade Bill To Be Made Public Wednesday " “Well now they realize it’s not selling, so they’re changing the title,” said Horner. “It’s exactly what they did in Wisconsin; I know it’s now called the Clean Jobs Bill, yeah, that’s it, it’s about jobs. No it isn’t it’s about power. These guys have always wanted to control your lives. ” The latest proposal by Senators John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) and Joe Liebermann (I-Connecticut) is expected be marketed as a pollution reduction and investment plan."

Just be silent and we won’t call you a racist

Faithwriters "It appears that the racist label can be used in a very selective way. Recent black on Asian violence in the sanctuary city of San Francisco raised no cries of racism. "

Sam Waterston Tells Congress to End Off-Shore Drilling

Big Hollywood "I’m sold. It’s the glasses propped at the end of Waterston’s nose that closed the deal for me. The authority and intelligence that comes with such a precarious propping makes it impossible for me to support off-shore drilling any longer." And from the Comments section:  "But Hollywood pinheads are a dime a dozen, and Waterston just mouths lines that might ordinarily be given to, say, Danny Glover or Sean Penn. Doesn't make the lies any better. We may not drill- but guess what? Others will, and are. A partial list of nations drilling offshore the continental US: China, Mexico, UK, Vietnam(!), Russia, Angola (!!) and others. They will drill, retrieve the oil- and sell it to us. "

The Anti-Everything Mood

Cook Political Report "When one party has control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, a midterm election is pretty much a referendum on that party. The electorate's anti-everything mood is likely to manifest itself only one way in November -- that is, against Democrats. Between now and then, however, a different dynamic could be in play. Republicans in particular should watch upcoming primaries apprehensively to see whether their party is nominating candidates with the potential to attract broad-based support and take full advantage of the anti-Democratic tide, or if it is opting for candidates who might be too extreme even in what should be a great year for the GOP. But have no doubt: The anger is real. The only question is precisely how it will be channeled."

Slavery Reparations: A Dead Issue, and Well-Deserved

Clayton E. Cramer " There’s plenty of shame and horror to go around. Slavery has been the norm for most of human civilization, and while the horrors of the Middle Passage and the cane fields of the Western Hemisphere are remarkable, there is no shortage of horrors across the centuries. At a certain point we need to inform and educate, while recognizing that seeking reparations for crimes committed by persons now dead, against persons also now dead, will lead us to reparations claims against Italy for Caesar’s crimes in Gaul."  Clayton E. Cramer is a software engineer and historian. His sixth book, Armed America: The Remarkable Story of How and Why Guns Became as American as Apple Pie (Nelson Current, 2006), is available in bookstores.
