"The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."

-- James Madison (speech in the House of Representatives, 10 January 1794)

Obama Is Stoking Racial Antagonism

What I have found is that those who do not like Mr.Limbaugh have not taken the time to listen to him. I don't agree with everything that he says, but he is far from embodying the attacks that are so routinely leveled in his direction. I understand the rough and tumble of politics. But Barack Obama -- the supposedly post-partisan, post-racial candidate of hope and change -- has gone where few modern candidates have gone before.

Pelosi: Dems bear no responsibility for economic crisis

So, you already have a partial grip on the economy, you want more, but it's not your fault when things go a bit south. When Obama gets elected and they ram through socialized medicine I bet they will be innocent when people are waiting in lines for simple tests and annual check-ups. Wake-up America!

ABC's Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire

Even now, Obama has yet to receive any comparable grilling on his 20-year attendance in the congregation of the notoriously racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Arugula Fatigue

Miss Parker always hits a home run in my book. I read her every chance that I get because of her fair and humble rhetoric you can't help but exclaim, "that's what I was thinking!"

Michelle Obama's Boot Camps For Radicals

It just blows me away that people will read something like this and then just slough it off as though it is no big deal, or that those of us who think it is a big deal are over-reacting. When you have people who have designs for public office who say things like, "Individual salvation depends on collective salvation," they mean communism. For those who would say that these are the same views that Jesus had I would submit that, yes, well sort of, but he didn't say that it should come from government.

Anti-American or Anti-Green?

The spin-meisters will spin, that is what they do. This is not an isolated incident that can be looked at in a vacuum. I do not think that Obama put these there, a lower level staff member, even a the janitorial crew of the convention center probably did. But it is indicative of the culture that is created within an organization. Both McCain and Obama have "people" to take care of these things. McCain's people would have kept them for the next event. Obama's should have been smart enough to know that it gets this petty at this level. The other side looks for every angle. At the very least, though, wasn't this dubbed as a "Green Convention?" These flags can be recycled for the next 60 days; what a great statement that would have made to the country!!

Obama on Clarence Thomas - WSJ.com

This would be funny, if it were not so very serious. "Delos" also makes a great point, by mentioning that McCain didn't vote against any of those he named when he had the opportunity. However, I must also point out that The President nominating and The Senate confirming require two different levels of agreement. The former usually means a complete agreement with the jurist's philosophy, while the later is simply a "stamp of approval" which is to ensure that The Justice is not a complete buffoon.It is only recently that the nomination process for The Supreme Court became such a difficult and contentious process. Though it is something to look at, I would fault Obama's disparaging words more than I would McCain's following of tradition.
