Berkeley, California city council votes 8-1 to tell Marines they are not welcome in Berkeley.

Western nations accused of overlooking fraud in sham democracies. Right now the US has adopted a self-defeating policy that mistakes elections for enlightened self-government, and until we correct that policy and focus on development of democratic institutions as a foundation of enlightened self-government, the world will slide backward.

US forces unprepared for catastrophic attack on US. In every way, the 2 parties are failing the nation.

Lebanon tries to blame Israel for the 2006 war. That's disappointing. Lebanon should condemn Hezbollah and acknowledge Hezbollah started the war by kidnapping the Israeli troops. Lebanon should work with Israel to clean Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon so they can have peace in the future. Hezbollah is the enemy of both Lebanon and Israel, and they should team up against it.

Because our government blocks drilling in ANWR and off the gulf coast, and because it blocks building new refineries, and because it blocks building new power plants using alternative fuel including nuclear, coal, natural gas, and even wind in Texas, Shell Oil has record profits. And people blame Shell instead of the anti-American restrictions that drive up the price of oil.

Reason lists Bush's failures.

Reason via LA Weekly on John McCain's comeback.

Mitt Romney should expose McCain's bogus claim of straight talk.

Bill Clinton calls for slowing down the economy to fight greenhouse emissions. Hurt Americans. Hurt America.

Barack Obama raises record $32 million in January alone. Obama flip-flops, then flops back, on decriminalizing marijuana. Right now he supports decriminalization.

Obama is the most liberal member of the Senate, and Hillary Clinton is 16th. Obama thinks he can unite the nation with socialist policies, and Hillary with practically identical socialist policies. They're both wrong. It's funny how the most bitter fighting occurs when people who are almost identical in policy pretend to be different. We've seen with Clinton and Obama, McCain and Romney, and the Republican and Democrat parties. If the people examined the positions rationally, they would recognize that the differences are mostly cosmetic. Politicians can't allow that, so they work the public into an emotional fervor to hide their anti-American commonality on issues.

Airline co-pilot goes nuts and starts calling for God.

Cato comments on yesterday's half point rate cut by the Fed. That's 1.25% in 8 days. This is aggravate inflation.

The global warming con men don't really care about global warming. They want to hurt development, business and the economy, especially in free, rich countries. The con men in Europe want to use government force to remove the outdoor patio heaters from restaurants and bars even though it's a molecule in the man-made CO2 drop of the bucket of natural CO2. The meme they're employing is "burning fossil fuels in the open sky." As if CO2 cares. I bet the smoking prohibitionists are involved in this too. If we don't stop this great global swindle, this is the future. Every human activity that produces CO2, including breathing, will be under attack by the con men using government force. It's all about power - the new communism.

California committee kills Schwarzenegger's terrible universal health care plan. Like Hillary and Romney's plans, it was doomed to fail and be followed up by socialized medicine anyway.

Gay activism pushes its way into British schools.
