Arizona’s Fight – America’s Fight | FrontPage Magazine:
Editor’s note: There is hardly an expletive in existence that has not been hurled at Arizona’s recently passed immigration law. To its detractors on the Left, including in the White House, the law represents a cruel injustice – a nativist, racist and even Nazi-like subversion of state power. But as Victor Davis Hanson and Ralph Peters demonstrate in two essays in the Freedom Center’s urgent new pamphlet, Arizona’s Fight, America’s Fight, the attacks on Arizona’s law are not only substantively unfounded, but are symbolic of the Left’s profound distortion of the national debate about illegal immigration."

Washington, DC – While Mr. Obama golfs his way through the Gulf Coast’s oil-drenched environmental calamity, another crisis is looming across the Potomac. America’s military, in harm’s way in a two-front war, is about to get staggered by a double whammy below the belt. Unfortunately for those who wear our nation’s uniform, the Commander in Chief and his cronies in Congress are throwing the punches."

That wasn't the way the pantywaist Clinton-appointed Judge John G. Koeltl saw it in 2006 when he sentenced the radical anti-American lawyer who became a willing participant in an Islamic terrorist plot to a mere 28 months in prison-a fraction of the 30-year term the government sought.
But things have changed. The septuagenarian Stewart has been resentenced, this time to a 10-year prison term. It's about bloody time."

In the political marketplace, there's now a run on Obama shares. The left is disappointed with the president. Independents are abandoning him in droves. And the right is already dancing on his political grave, salivating about November when, his own press secretary admitted Sunday, Democrats might lose the House.
I have a warning for Republicans: Don't underestimate Barack Obama."

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg leads the influential Business Roundtable and frequently gets an audience with the president, for instance. Just last month, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, who is trying to get approval for his $30 billion acquisition of NBC Universal, had lunch with Obama at the White House. Cisco CEO John Chambers and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison have already surpassed Schmidt in political giving this cycle."

Politicians are ever on the lookout for new sources of revenue for their bloated governments. The new coalition government in the United Kingdom is scrambling to find new and creative ways to increase revenues.
A proposal made by Vince Cable, Business Secretary of the current British Government, represents a new and insidious methodology of effective indentured servitude if someone is foolish enough to obtain a university degree in the United Kingdom."

Karl Rove: My Biggest Mistake in the White House - WSJ.com:
Seven years ago today, in a speech on the Iraq war, Sen. Ted Kennedy fired the first shot in an all-out assault on President George W. Bush's integrity. 'All the evidence points to the conclusion,' Kennedy said, that the Bush administration 'put a spin on the intelligence and a spin on the truth.' Later that day Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle told reporters Mr. Bush needed 'to be forthcoming' about the absence of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Thus began a shameful episode in our political life whose poisonous fruits are still with us."

Senate Passes Sweeping Finance Overhaul - WSJ.com:
WASHINGTON—Congress approved a rewrite of rules touching every corner of finance, from ATM cards to Wall Street traders, in the biggest expansion of government power over banking and markets since the Depression.
The bill, to be signed into law soon by President Barack Obama, marks a potential sea change for the financial-services industry. Financial titans such as J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. may be forced to make changes in most parts of their business, from debit cards to the ability to invest in hedge funds."
