Immigration raids yield jobs for legal workers

USA Today "But the raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents did not cripple the company or the plants.

Score one for the good guys

Rick Moran "Scratch one really bad guy - even if some believe he was just a misunderstood crusader for justice who never would have turned to terrorism if we had only given him what he wanted while showering his homeland with economic aid to get at the "root causes" of terrorism. Methinks Nabhan will now simply be a "root cause" of daisies growing where he fell." Well done, Obama.

Media Myth: GOP Has No Health Care Ideas

Newsbusters "Democrats have, from the start, opposed Republican amendments while shouting about the GOP's refusal to work with the majority party. For those Democrats, and the media outlets that blindly support them, considering proposals from the other side has nothing to do with compromise, and bipartisanship is simply code for agreeing with what the far left has to offer."

My medical oath requires no government oversight

By Marc Siegel "But I can speak for the many physicians watching with jaws agape as we have been maligned as money-grubbers intent on simply "playing defense" with medicine. We already have our moral directive. And, at the risk of contradicting our president, we have our incentive, too: the patient."

MORE FALLOUT FROM JOE WILSON'S 'YOU LIE' MOMENT

Neal Boortz "Would somebody please have Chairman Danny Bakewell explain to me what was "racist" about Joe Wilson's outburst of "you lie"? I agree that is was disrespectful. But racist? That is one of the most overused words in the English language. When you hear someone yell "racist" you know you are listening to a limited intellect on a temper tantrumThe only reason his outburst is "racist" is because too many people are walking around this country with racial chips on their shoulder."

No we can't? UK think tank says US power is fading

Yahoo News "The think tank's report said Obama could help restore the United States' standing by working with other nations to contain emerging threats to its position as the world's pre-eminent power. Controlling the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea would require help from regional allies, the report said. The same was true of Afghanistan, where the U.S. has had difficulty persuading its NATO partners to follow its lead in boosting the number of troops sent to fight a resurgent Taliban."

Obama Is Pushing Israel Toward War

WSJ Online "But most importantly, it is an abdication of a superpower's responsibility to outsource matters of war and peace to another state, however closely allied. President Obama has now ceded the driver's seat on Iran policy to Prime Minister Netanyahu. He would do better to take the wheel again, keeping in mind that Iran is beyond the reach of his eloquence..."

ACORN Story Grows But Mainstream Media Refuse to Cover It

Fox News "Nothing on ABC, CBS or NBC. The only thing any one of the three broadcast networks has done appeared in a blog post by ABC’s Jake Tapper. It's hardly worth noting except to show that the networks know about what’s going on. They just don’t care to report it. Only FOX News has bothered to report on the controversy." Also: RottenAcorn.com
