Kudlow: Obama's Gloomy Big-Government Vision
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 06 Aug 2008 11:44 PM EDT
The Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion. And tax hikes on the rich won't pay for it. It's the middle class that will ultimately shoulder this fiscal burden in terms of higher taxes (to the tune of about a $6800 increase per family - ed.) and lower growth.
Obama wants you to believe that America is in trouble, and that it can only be cured with a big lurch to the left. Take from the rich and give to the non-rich. Redistribute income and wealth. It's an age-old recipe for economic disaster. It completely ignores incentives for entrepreneurs, small family-owned businesses, and investors. You can't have capitalism without capital. But Obama would penalize capital, be it capital from corporations or investors. This will only harm, and not advance, opportunities for middle-class workers.

Riot police used tear gas Wednesday to block hundreds of Venezuelans protesting the latest moves by President Hugo Chavez to concentrate his power. The demonstrators said a blacklist of opposition candidates and a series of socialist decrees are destroying what's left of their democracy.
Though the protest of about 1,000 people chanting "freedom!" was small compared to past marches, there is a growing public outcry over the sidelining of key government opponents ahead of state and local elections in November

Richard Dawkins, the naive professor
by

on Wed 06 Aug 2008 10:53 PM EDT
Darwin shines; evolution is as marvellous as Dawkins says. But it is not fair to use Darwin's beautifully evolved brain to bang the drum for your private conviction that there is nothing out there. Nobody knows. Not really. Teaching children real science is one thing, making them choose God or evolution is another

Boone Pickens may be a fine man, and has played a colorful and useful role on the American stage for decades. But his "energy plan," which he's spending a fortune to promote on cable TV, is not a plan. Asserting that something would be good to do is not "a plan." Saying how to do it is "a plan."

When California police discovered an abused girl covered with scars nearly six years ago, they had no idea that the woman allegedly responsible for inflicting the torture was her mother — the friendly cashier they'd encountered at their local fast-food restaurant.

EDITORIAL: Republicans on the job
by

on Wed 06 Aug 2008 10:09 PM EDT
House Republicans are on good footing along the path of redemption. Their effort to forego the month-long vacation called the "August recess" and stay in Washington to work on energy solutions is certainly the right thing to do, and it is in the best interests of the American people. After being vilified by Democrats the past few years for everything from corruption to their own habit of taking too many lengthy breaks

There is a saying that the Chinese eat everything that flies, except aeroplanes; everything with four legs, except tables; and everything that swims, except submarines - and visitors to Beijing's fast-food market during the Olympic Games will be left in no doubt of that.

FTA- "A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.
It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers."
Why weren't these guys arrested? Then we could find out what they're doing here.- Riley

How To Live Without Gas

The Segway, that marvel of two-wheeled balance and electric mobility, may someday solve America's dependence on gas-powered engines. But first, it will have to solve the suburbs. That was the lesson of my short-lived experiment in gas-free living, an ill-fated attempt to explore the latest in electric tech as an alternative to $4-a-gallon gas.

Multiculturalism and Diversity: Not In My Neighborhood
by

on Wed 06 Aug 2008 08:44 AM EDT
“The thing is, I really wanted to live in Dallas, but we just couldn't do it. So we chose Plano.
“Once we pulled the trigger, the judgments came a-flyin'. Mainly it was from friends who are, well, urban yokels. You know the kind – hipper-than-thou provincialists, for whom where you reside in relation to a municipal taxing boundary defines you. This was fine. Friends tease you like that. But then I started getting comments from readers at one of my other publications about "diversity," whatever that means. Apparently, in choosing a house in one of the top school districts in the country, in a suburb where the poverty rate is low and the median income is high, I was guilty of the high crime of ‘white flight.’
“My humbled, guilty reaction consisted of two words: "So what?"

Obama website: Jews must be 'burned'
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 06 Aug 2008 08:43 AM EDT
Jews should be "burned" and "thrown in the oven."
Israel murdered 6 million Arabs.
Jews control American politics and dictate decisions of war and peace.
The Jewish state is leading a "Holocaust" against the Palestinian people and was responsible for 9/11.
The above are just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda that can be found on user-generated pages on Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign website, which allows registered members to form groups and post content in online "community" blogs.

Michelle Malkin: "The Democrat Speaker of the House–and a co-author hired to try and add flavor to bland Beltway establishment oatmeal–have penned a self-help book for “America’s daughters” to help them “Know Your Power.” It’s a dreadfully pedestrian text (”As long as we recognize the power within us, we will continue to have choices, and we will continue to lead”), surpassed only in its dreadfulness by the rather unfortunate timing of its publication."
