Victor Davis Hanson; The Global Fairness Madness
Victor Davis Hanson "Here in the United States, the 5 percent of the population that pays nearly 60 percent of all the income taxes collected is excoriated as selfish and greedy for not being willing to pay even more. The 50 percent of the population that pays no income tax at all feels that it deserves even more from those who make more."
Media Mogul Charged with First Degree Murdoch
Ann Coulter "So it's strange to see these defenders of the press's right to publish absolutely anything get on their high horses about British tabloid reporters, operating under a different culture and legal system, hacking into cell phones.
"Not only that, but they are demanding that the CEO of the vast, multinational corporation that owned the tabloids be severely punished.
"This is because the CEO is Rupert Murdoch and Murdoch owns Fox News."....

"If only Murdoch's minions had hacked into the phones of George Bush, Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld , liberals would be submitting his name to the pope for sainthood.
"But now the rest of us have to watch while the mainstream media pursue their personal grudge against Rupert Murdoch for allowing Fox News to exist. They demand his head for owning a British tabloid where some reporters used illegally obtained information, something The New York Times does defiantly on a regular basis."

Cut, cap, balance
Neal Boortz "Republicans have come up with a plan for our debt ceiling. They are calling it “cut, cap and balance.” The plan would cut spending in 2012 by $111 billion, cap future spending at 19.9% of GDP (Obama has raised it to about 25% of GDP), and approve a Balanced Budget Amendment."
....
"Republicans would do well to stick to cutting spending and calling Obama on this Eisenhower era cap. That they can win. The balanced budget amendment will have to wait."

Obama's Step Forward on Libya
Council on Foreign Relations "It took nearly four months, but last week the Obama administration finally did the right thing: It recognized the National Transitional Council as the rightful government of Libya. That will allow the rebels to tap into billions of dollars in frozen Libyan government accounts in the U.S. Access to those funds is crucial not only for furthering the campaign to topple Moammar Gadhafi, but also for constructing a working government in Benghazi that can eventually be expanded to the rest of the country."
Max Boot is a senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is completing a history of guerrilla warfare and terrorism.

Life as run by liberals: Boys And Girls Banned At Swedish Preschool?! Kids To Be Called ‘It’
Big Peace "“The category of gender was canceled at one of Swedish kindergartens. The words “boy” and “girl” are no longer used there, while pronouns “he” and “she” were replaced with “it”. Kindergarten teachers believe that they are successfully breaking the gender stereotypes so that the people of two sexes would not feel predominant towards each other. Experts say, though, that such seeming equality may lead to the genetic rebirth of the population and to the decline of human civilization."
GOP Rep. Peter King To Hold Third Round Of Congressional Hearings On Muslim Radicalization…
Good Things / Costs and repercussions don’t matter in politics.
Thomas Sowell "Higher miles per gallon for cars is a Good Thing in politics, even if it leads to cars too lightly built to protect occupants when there is a crash. More students going to college is another Good Thing, even if lowering standards to get them admitted results in lower educational quality for others.
"Too much of a Good Thing is bad."

The "Murdoch" phone hackings

"James Murdoch faces the crunch moment in his battle to remain in charge of News International. He is expected to be put under intense pressure by members of the culture media and sport select committee following accusations that executives covered up the extent of wrongdoing by News of the World journalists."

Conservative Solutions, White House Attacks
The Heritage Foundation "White House press secretary Jay Carney described the plan as “duck, dodge and dismantle,” and the White House blog warns that the spending cuts it requires would burden “seniors and the most vulnerable” and would be “harmful to the economic recovery in the short-term.” (Point of fact: Obama’s trillions of dollars in spending have led to 9.2 percent unemployment and anemic job growth.)
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) office hysterically warned it would “end Medicare” and called the only proposed plan in Washington a “political stunt.”
"These liberal scare tactics echoed the President’s press conference last week in which he struggled to even utter the plan’s name, warned that the measures in the legislation are drastic and that a balanced budget amendment is unnecessary:"...
Liberals from Capitol Hill to the cable networks keep insisting that the nation will go into default unless Congress raises the nation’s debt ceiling by August 2. "All along we have felt that such a claim is at least technically wrong, seeing that unquestionably we will be able to make interest payments on our bonds. More confounding, however, is that the ones yelling the loudest that the debt limit must be raised also keep insisting that a vote tomorrow in the House of Representatives to raise the debt limit is “an empty and symbolic gesture.”"
Obama officially threatens to veto Republicans' 'cut, cap and balance' bill

Wynn Slams Obama On Business: "Responsible For Fear In America"
RealClearPolitics "Everybody's afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the truth. It is the truth. And that's true of Democratic businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry Reid. I support Democrats and Republicans. And I'm telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs."
