Free kibbles

Romney positions himself as the conservative candidate. Election after election shows Americans want government reform and smaller government, but Republicans keep running big-government candidates for President, like Bush, McCain, and Giuliani. Robert Novak reports that a few maverick Senators shut down the government pork factory.

Kofi Annan says America is trapped in Iraq. This guy is finally out of office, but he's still working against America in the news. I bet he goes to work for Iran within a month. Pat Buchanan thinks it's scary that we're looking for a plan in Iraq after nearly 4 years.

Jed Babbin says we should win or go home in Iraq. I agree with that. Endless war with no path to victory is the worst case. But Babbin discounts going after the militias, which is exactly what we should do, Maliki be damned. Our interest in security are the same as the Iraqi people's interest in security. Maliki's interest in the Shiite militias are out of line with the goal of security. Maliki can either get with the program or lose his position.

A cabinet minister in Lebanon is assassinated.

Did CBS just notice that the FCC stifles free speech? That's the reason it exists.

George Bush told us during the campaign that Democrats would raise taxes. That told me that Bush was willing to sign a tax increase instead of vetoing it. Look out if you make over $90,000. That should trash the economy.

Thomas Sowell says that Washington is a meat grinder, and Don Rumsfeld is it's latest victim.

Christopher Hitchens explains how James Baker and Bush the Elder are partially responsible for the current situation in Iraq, and he says Baker is the last person we should ask for advice.

Mike Adams' experience shows the atrocious level of political discourse in America. This hate works to empower the two party system.

Janet Reno challenges terror law. The current law allows anybody, even American citizens, to be labeled enemy combatants, and enemy combatants have no right to trial. This will undoubtedly be used to oppress critics of the two party system.

Cathy Young enters the faith versus reason debate, as if these two approaches to life are incompatible. When asking if religion is good for America, you only need to watch secular Europe's decline and Islam's ascendancy in Europe. Every great civilization in history has had a strong associated religion. Clearly religion provides a competitive advantage to civilizations, and America needs our religion and our Judeo-Christian values, to remain on top.

Big government runs counter to Judeo-Christian values, and it's causing us to decline already - big government undermines the nuclear family (it doesn't take a village, it takes a family) as it usurps the nanny role, and big government has caused the crises in education and health care. Liberals can see the decline of Europe as clearly as anybody. Their push for America to be more like Europe is a push for the decline of America and the free world.

Every American will have to pay a price because three kids died in a bus crash.
