In the past year there has been some comments, including from Texas Governor Rick Perry, about Texas seceding from the United States. The same things have been said about Alaska. Perhaps we should listen to President Lincoln speak about this:
Descending from these general principles, we find the proposition that, in legal contemplation, the Union is [...]

Barack Obama did something this week very unpresidential. The classic problem with left-wingers is that they have a deep intolerance of those with political views different than their own. But when you are president, you are supposed to rise above this and at least acknowledge that your political opponents have legitimate concerns, but you just [...]

Will there be anything left we are allowed to do? Your dog has got to go:
SHOULD owning a great dane make you as much of an eco-outcast as an SUV driver? Yes it should, say Robert and Brenda Vale, two architects who specialise in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. In [...]

Others are beginning to come to the same conclusion as me regarding Anita Dunn. Victor Davis Hanson writes:

With massive new entitlements in the pipe, and Social Security and Medicare soon to run short of money, Democrats are searching for a new source of tax revenues. The Democrats’ dream, of course, is to complete the transition of the US into a European-style welfare state. One problem with this is that someone (everyone) has [...]

First, how to win a Nobel Peace Prize in five easy steps:
1) Don’t be George W. Bush.
2) Be a top American liberal (think Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, …).
3) Internationally, use apologetic rhetoric regarding all things American.
4) Use lofty-sounding internationalist rhetoric and deny American exceptionalism.
5) Be black.
When all five of these steps are combined, the combination [...]

Here they are:
1– What a good legislator does: Go to work, abolish one law that day, go home.
2– Liberals seem to want to abolish all of our freedoms except for the freedom to have an abortion and marry a gay person.

A new policy coming from the executive branch of the US federal government sounds scary to me:
The Federal Trade Commission will try to regulate blogging for the first time, requiring writers on the Web to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products.
The FTC said Monday its commissioners voted [...]
