Charles Krauthammer - Barack Obama's Israeli Settlements Canard - washingtonpost.com:

President Obama repeatedly insists that American foreign policy be conducted with modesty and humility. Above all, there will be no more 'dictating' to other countries. We should 'forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions,' he told the G-20 summit. In Middle East negotiations, he told al-Arabiya, America will henceforth 'start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating.'"

Pressure on for Employee Free Choice Act Union Bill - Manufacturing News - Apparelnews.net

Pressure on for Employee Free Choice Act Union Bill - Manufacturing News - Apparelnews.net: “The next 30 days are critical,” [attorney] Reinis said. Sen. Tom Harkin (D–Iowa), the chief sponsor of the bill in the Senate, has called for a compromise bill to be reached by a July 4 deadline. If senators do not reach a compromise by that date, Harkin will bring an “up-or-down vote,” Reinis said, which will make each senator’s vote a matter of public record—something senators facing re-election are loathe to encounter."

Let's Keep Many Eyes on the Banks - WSJ.com

"The nation is about to make two momentous policy choices about the future of our financial system. One will be made by the president, the other by the Supreme Court. Both decisions involve the proper roles for state and federal regulatory authority, and both have far-reaching consequences. Yet the country seems barely aware of the issues, or the stakes involved."

Let's Keep Many Eyes on the Banks - WSJ.com: "We have much to lose by any well-intentioned but perilous experiment in extreme centralization. If such an experiment does not live up to expectations, there would be no simple way for states to restore their authority and the balance of power. Authority once relinquished is seldom regained.

As Thomas Jefferson so aptly warned in a letter to George Washington in 1791, for the federal government to overstep the boundaries of the states is 'to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to any definition.'"

Secession: the Ultimate States' Right

Congressman Ron Paul - Secession: the Ultimate States' Right - Texas Straight Talk

Last week the governor of Texas ignited a media firestorm for his remarks involving the idea of secession. He did not call for Texas to secede from the United States. He merely pointed out that the federal government was treading heavily on the sovereignty of the states and that this can not continue indefinitely without a breaking point.. Secession is the last resort of states whose sovereignty is over-ridden by an overreaching federal government.  The federal government has only itself to blame for this talk...Without the right to secede, state’s rights are meaningless. 

A republican form of government should also be as close to the people as possible, which means the decisions of local governing bodies must be respected.  Where the decisions of local governments are disregarded, the voice of the people is also disregarded.  The more that happens, the more frustrated and angry the people will become.

Fight Government Encroachment into Healthcare

Congressman Ron Paul - Fight Government Encroachment into Healthcare! - Texas Straight Talk

With a faltering economy, and skyrocketing costs, healthcare continues to be a critical issue for all Americans. Unfortunately government encroachment into the doctor/patient relationship is poised to exacerbate our problems with healthcare.

As an OB/GYN with over 30 years of experience in private practice, I understand that one of the foundations of quality healthcare is the patient's confidence that all information shared with his or her healthcare provider will remain private. And yet, the Federal Government plans to undermine this trust with establishment of mandatory electronic medical records collections and “unique health identifier” numbers assigned to all Americans. Funding for this program was among the numerous provisions jammed into the stimulus bill rushed through Congress earlier this year."

Audit the Federal Reserve (HR 1207) | Ron Paul .com: "Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve (HR 1207) now has 186 co-sponsors, and the numbers keep growing!

This is history in the making, and victory is within reach. Imagine what will happen if HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, comes up for vote in Congress! With more than 40% of the House of Representatives already co-sponsoring this bill, it has real potential to pass — BUT only if we educate and rally the people to support it and get our Congresspeople to put it to vote and pass it."

The Fox is in the Hen House

American Daily Review - The Fox is in the Hen House: "Even the fawning mainstream media are starting to crack open the agenda of Barack Hussein Obama. On an ABC web site the question of Barack Hussein Obama’s Muslim background was a taboo subject in the campaign and its contrast of the President’s now willingness to openly be proud of that background.... This should automatically be seen as a red flag, especially if you are a supporter of Israel as an ally, and its right to live in its own land free from threat. Do you honestly know any Muslim that is “pro Israel”? You can count on your hand how many Muslims are pro Israel, so the fact that President Obama is now proud of his Muslim heritage should be a major wake up call to all who voted for him; who also believe in the safety of America and Israel."

Bailout Fallout: Uncle Sam's Sharia Board

Bailout Fallout: Uncle Sam's Sharia Board: "How's that for bait and switch? While we agonize over chump-change AIG bonuses, we ignore the fact we're paying for the subversion of liberty and justice for all by funding AIG's promotion and entrenchment of sharia--Jew-, Christian-, and humanist-hostile supremacist Islamic law. As of December 2008, by the way, AIG Takaful insurance products went on sale in the USA under the ironically named Lexington Takaful Solutions.

Lexington, Lexington--wasn't that where our experiment in liberty began with the shot heard round the world? Must have been a dream. At this rate, Lexington will go down in history as the beachhead of US taxpayer-funded sharia. From 'taxation without representation' to taxation to support sharia: How the free have enslaved themselves."

AIG Bailout: The News Isn't All Bad Department

American Daily Review - articles blog - AIG Bailout: The News Isn't All Bad Department: "In his well-written and detailed analysis issued yesterday, Judge Zatkoff denied the request by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice to dismiss the lawsuit. The request was filed on behalf of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board – the named defendants in the case. In his ruling, the judge held that the lawsuit sufficiently alleged a federal constitutional challenge to the use of taxpayer money to fund AIG’s Islamic religious activities."

100 Kindergarteners turned away from White House

NBC reported this: "Thursday was supposed to be the highlight of the year for more than 100 kindergarteners from Stafford County, Va. They got up early and took a chartered bus to the White House for a school field trip. But when they arrived, all the 5-year-olds got was a lesson in disappointment. The buses from Conway Elementary arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a little later than planned, and they were locked out."

Obama told the kindergarteners to go home. Five-year-old Cameron Stine said, "'We were going to the White House, but we couldn't get in so I felt sad.' Parents say they were just 10 minutes late for their scheduled tour. School officials say White House staff said they needed to get ready for the president's event with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, so they couldn't come in. So a long-planned field trip from a suburban Washington school broomed by the Obama White House. What about the children? Can you imagine the effect of this on these children for the rest of their lives, is nobody thinking about this? These kids, how long they had been looking forward to it, they were going to go to the White House. They were going to get a tour. They were maybe going to meet President Obama, an historic figure, and they show up and they're only ten minutes late, and the mean guards at the gate won't let 'em in because the Steelers are in there putting gift packages together to send to military troops overseas. I think they should've let the kids in and helped the Steelers. What a double whammy for Obama, let those kids in, they get the meet the Steelers, the parents get to meet Steelers, get to help 'em out putting care packages together for the troops. But no. The buses were sent away with the little children in tears. My friends, the long-term effects of this might incalculable.

South Carolina governor trumped, must take stimulus money - CNN.com

South Carolina governor trumped, must take stimulus money - CNN.com: "South Carolina's Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Gov. Mark Sanford must accept $700 million in federal stimulus money, ending the only formal effort by a governor to reject funding intended to jump-start an ailing economy.

Gov. Mark Sanford became the conservative face of opposition to the federal stimulus package.

The two-term Republican said he would abide by the court ruling, but called it a bad day for South Carolina and the country.

'This decision is terrible news for every taxpayer in South Carolina, and even more so for future taxpayers who will ultimately bear the responsibility of paying for this so-called 'stimulus' without seeing any benefit from it,' he said in a statement."

Obama's Voodoo Health Economics - WSJ.com

Obama's Voodoo Health Economics - WSJ.com: "On Monday President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers released a report called 'The Economic Case for Health Care Reform.' The report argues that Americans must curb their consumption of medical care in order to avoid soaring federal deficits, unsustainable burdens on family budgets, and damage to the economy. All of these claims are untrue....Telling all Americans they have to cut back on health care because Medicare is fiscally unsound is like ordering all Americans to go on diets because the food stamp program is in trouble.

Cheney: the new tricky Dick - The Boston Globe:

I love Dick Cheney, mainly because he represents everything liberals despise.

I don't think Cheney brakes for small animals, and I don't think he cares much about saving the whales."

"See the USA in your Chevrolet

Fifty years ago, those words set to music each week on the old NBC 'The Dinah Shore Show' reflected an America and an automobile industry that is no more. That time and that industry were laid to rest this week when General Motors filed for bankruptcy and the government effectively nationalized GM and Chrysler after wasting billions of our tax dollars on a failed bailout."

The Rasmussen poll during the weekend asked a key question designed to give us perspective on Obama's popularity. The question was whether the problems now 'are due to the recession that began under the Bush administration or to the policies Obama has put in place since taking office.'

In other words, who's to blame, Bush or Obama?"

The Gospel According to Mark Levin

The American Spectator : The Gospel According to Mark Levin:

I first encountered Mark Levin when our respective bosses, Drew Lewis (mine) and Ed Meese (Levin’s), were leading figures and friends in the Reagan era. Meese was counselor to the president and later attorney general, the conservative Reagan’s champion of conservatism; Lewis was the secretary of transportation who recommended Reagan fire the striking air-traffic controllers. The issue at hand was a minor one, a mid-level job in the Justice Department for an ex-Lewis aide. My task was simple: call Mark Levin, my counterpart, and see if Meese couldn’t help move the process along. The conversation that resulted was memorable. It turned out the ex-Lewis aide had been a Bush supporter in 1980. And while it was true that George H. W. Bush was now Ronald Reagan’s vice president, Levin took pains to instruct me on the importance of the conservative principles behind the Reagan Revolution."

Obama's Attack on Achievers and Individual Rights

American Thinker: Obama's Attack on Achievers and Individual Rights:

Recently, I thought of two Hall of Fame baseball players, Baltimore Orioles', Frank Robinson and Cal Ripken Jr. On several occasions, I witnessed Robinson, bottom of the ninth with two outs, dramatically hitting the game winning home run. Most players may hit the game winner once in their careers. With great pride, they repeatedly tell the tale to their grandkids. Incredibly, Frank Robinson hit the 'big one' numerous times."

Obama, Iran, and Israel

American Thinker: Obama, Iran, and Israel:

President Obama has in the past few days indicated that Iran certainly has reason to develop nuclear energy. After all, they are the world's second largest oil exporter. And he will not set any artificial time frames, by the end of which he seeks an Iranian response to his outreach efforts and attempt to dialogue with them. He has said he would like to see 'progress' by the end of the year. That makes sense, I guess, since current estimates are that Iran will have completed all the steps to have a nuclear bomb by the end of the year."

During a conference call in preparation for President Obama's trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said 'the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to -- or before he's been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world -- you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father -- obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.'"

Feds spike voter citizenship checks in Georgia

Feds spike voter citizenship checks in Georgia:

ATLANTA — The Justice Department has rejected Georgia's system of using Social Security numbers and driver's license data to check whether prospective voters are citizens, a process that was a subject of a federal lawsuit in the weeks leading up to November's election.

In a letter released on Monday, the Justice Department said the state's voter verification program is frequently inaccurate and has a 'discriminatory effect' on minority voters. The decision means Georgia must halt the citizenship checks, although the state can still ask the Justice Department to reconsider, according to the letter and to the Georgia secretary of state's office."

Obama’s Health Reform Savings Myth - The Foundry

Obama’s Health Reform Savings Myth | The Foundry:

Last week we detailed the absurdity of the Obama administration’s claims that they could control health care costs by ADDING millions of America into government run health care. This Sunday, the New America Foundation’s Maya MacGuineas also attacked Obama’s Health Reform’s Savings Myth:

“Health-care reform is entitlement reform” has become a mantra of the Obama administration. The idea is that Congress can add a massive health-care program this year — covering the uninsured — and use the same measures that pay for the health reform to fix the broader budget problems. If that sounds too good to be true, there’s a reason."
