American Thinker: San Francisco's Unconstitutional Arizona 'Boycott':
San Francisco and other city governments have jumped on the bandwagon of formally 'boycotting' business with Arizona in response to that border state's new law to assist the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Boycotts are an honorable way to influence governments or citizens. When the Nazis came to power, millions of Americans boycotted German imports. Blacks in Mississippi boycotted the Montgomery Bus System for its discriminatory practices toward blacks five decades ago."

American Thinker: American Fossil Fuels: The New Alternative Energy Source:
The explosion of the Gulf oil platform this past week is a useful crisis for those advocates who hope to further restrict and prevent the extraction of fossil fuels in the United States. The recent coal mining accident in Virginia is another opportunity to shut down vital energy extraction activities in the United States. Fossil fuel extraction in the United States remains a vital and most useful opportunity for solving a wide range of human problems around the world for a number of reasons:"

American Thinker Blog: Full of holes; the Times Square story:
Despite what the U.S. government and an unintuitive media would like for the American public to believe, the story surrounding Faisal Shahzad's attempt to bomb Times Square is full of holes and thus warrants many questions.
Yesterday, the Associated Press reported that following a dry run on April 28, Shahzad began to enact his plan on the 30th, when he drove to back to the area to leave his getaway car, a black Isuzu-MyFoxNY.com reported the Isuzu was left parked in an area somewhere on a street in the 30s between 8th and 9th Avenue."

"Today, BLS Reported That Unemployment Rose To 9.9 Percent In The Month Of April, Up From 9.7 Percent. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 5/7/10)
Obama’s National Economic Council Director Larry Summers “Predicts Perpetually High Unemployment.” “White House adviser Larry Summers on Friday predicted that past employment rates will not return after the recession passes. ‘The best way to put it is this: Forty years ago, one in 20 men [ages] 25 to 54, in America, was not working at a given point in time,’ he said. ‘Today, the number is not one in 20. It’s one in five. And a good guess, based on extrapolations of trends in this area, is that when the economy recovers, five years from now, assuming we return to normal cyclical conditions, one in six men who are 25 to 54 will not be working at any point in time.’” (Jay Heflin, “Summers Predicts Perpetually High Unemployment,” The Hill, 4/30/10)"

� Rep. Andre Carson: Tea Party Protesters Are ‘One of the Largest Threats to our Internal Security’ - Big Government:
As our readers have already learned, Rep. Andre Carson gathered Capitol Hill reporters around him and told the tale of racial slurs and menacing crowds on the verge of hurling rocks at the congressmen. Our first few videos showed the congressmen coming out of the Cannon Office Building, walking down the steps and into Independence Avenue from various angles. None of those videos revealed the racial hatred Rep. Carson conveyed to reporters that day and none of the videos showed a mob rushing or in any way impeding the congressmen."
