Director of National Intelligence admits that the government should have foiled 9/11 plot. Duh. The fact is we had plenty of tools in place to foil that plot, but our government is so huge and bureaucratic, it failed. And we're so stupid we allowed the government to pass the unnecessary, bipartisan Patriot Act, and gave up more of our freedom. We also allowed our government to bipartisanly double in size, doubling its inefficiency, and we allowed it to bipartisanly create an entire new titanic homeland security bureaucracy to make our government even more inefficient and less capable to deal with threats. Other than warrantlessly wiretapping suspected terrorists, every domestic move we've made in response to 9/11 has been counterproductive.

In order to secure our nation, we have to dramatically cut the size and scope of government back to Constitutional limits to empower Americans' personal security and to focus government on its very few legitimate powers like fighting terrorism. Giving up our freedom is counterproductive to winning. We need to take back our freedom to win.

You need a permit to go to the moon. Naturally. NASA administrator asserts that China will beat the US back to the moon. He then has the temerity to insinuate that its the fault of the American people that China will win. The problem is NASA is a typical ineffective federal bureaucracy. It is not the American people. America's problems are rooted in every level or our titanic, bureaucratic government.

Iraqi forces are in the lead in 8% of Baghdad. This is great news. Why are liberals acting like it's bad news? Liberals are wishfully thinking standing up an Iraqi army is easy.

A judge rules that students can wear buttons with pictures of Hitler youth to protest the school's uniform policy. This is wrong on so many levels. Why is a judge involved? Hitler youth? It's just a damn school uniform, not the Vietnam War. Get over it.

School teacher crushes make for better students. Maybe we should require all teachers to be hot.

Article analyzes whether or not we're at the end of a stable economic period. Our economic woes are partly personal, but mostly the result of titanic government spending, regulating, and our abusive income tax.
