As we all relax and enjoy our paid holiday Monday; let’s all take a moment during our cook-outs, camping and fishing trips, mattress sales, and home improvement projects; to ponder the true significance of Memorial Day. Whether we agree with administration policy or not, now or in the past, it is certain we all [...] Considerations of such contingencies as cultural traditions, widely distributed emotional dispositions, institutional arrangements, and habits, prescription, precedent, and prejudice, are conspicuously absent from the libertarian's vision. [...] From the glaring contradictions between earlier and later professions Obama voiced at subsequent appearances during his campaign, to the string of grandiose promises that he made up on the stump but obviously never had any intention of fulfilling once in office, to the omnipresent cloak of darkness enshrouding his current executive operations, Barack Obama plainly [...] The flag of Israel was a ubiquitous sight as marchers held aloft the indefatigable symbol of Jewish statehood with pride while hoisting decorative banners and signs calling for a united Jerusalem. [...] The next time President Obama criticizes Arizona's immigration law he ought to be asked how a phone call placed by a police officer in Scottsdale to ICE undermines basic notions of fairness we cherish as Americans. [...] A key strategy of J Street from its very outset has been to use the gravitas that even the most radical Democrats now have in the Obama era to provide it with the cover it needs to advance its pro-Palestine agenda. [...] Before looking at the military option, it is worthwhile looking at some of the economic pressures that can be applied to Iran. [...] Northeastern Republicans of the RINO genus are still on the prowl here, but they are developing quite a considerable set of horns. [...] To the leftist the predominance of whites at any given time or in any given place is indubitable proof of "racism," either of an overt or covert type. [...] Except for good luck and a bomber's ineptness, hundreds in Times Square would be dead or maimed with a little help from the New York Times. [...] So many idiots, so little time. [...] When it comes to playing the Blame Game, Barack Obama has no equal. [...] Content criminals, safe citizens. Natural wealth, abuse and corruption. The IRS' ideal illegal. The Greeks have a term for it: going broke together. Failing to learn from experience is the norm. [...] Why do scientists and news stories blame everything on global warming? Fortune and glory. [...] The Obama administration's energy policy is to have as little as possible. [...] Governor David Paterson has developed a plan to thwart US immigration law. [...] Given that more than 90 percent of the illegals in Arizona hail from Mexico and Latin America, isn't "Hispanic" part of the relevant profile here? [...] The events leading up to Primary Day 2010 were hardly spawned by some baseless "anti-incumbent" craze. [...] Was Oscar Nunez actually interested in how well Elizabeth Woolard answered his question? [...] On April 30th Arizona passed and Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 igniting a firestorm here in the United States. Across this nation, political heavyweights and NGO's have subjected this sovereign state to mountains of abuse for daring to attempt what the federal government has been refusing to do for decades; protect US taxpayers from [...] The PAC could have acknowledged both candidates, instead of choosing to endorse one over the other. National Right to Life rates McCain 77% and JD Hayworth 100%. The PAC endorsed Huckabee over McCain in the presidential election. This is no longer the PAC I used to know and love. [...] Natural and unnatural unions. Guess who fits the Euro-zone's requirements! Who and what has failed? The overcooked spaghetti and the perils of police work. [...] Liberals can be soundly defeated this fall by a principled conservative opposition if it has the clarity of its convictions and the courage to wage an effective counteroffensive. [...] The late Howard Cosell is reported to once have opined that "Sports is the toy department of life;" meaning that watching sports was a way to slip into a simpler world, untouched by the evils of the real one.
