After unidentified bomber kills Israeli soldier, Israel launches attack into southern Gaza.
Obama proposes space weapons ban. That's a fantasy. The reality is that Russia and China will put, or already have put, weapons in space and we'd be idiots to concede that strategic battleground to them.
Can you imagine what having to meet 50 different sets of emission standards would do to the auto industry? The auto companies would be forced to meet the lowest common denominator, meaning that the most radical environmentalist state would effectively set emissions standards for the entire country.
Boortz explains that Obama has renamed earmarks as "ready to go" projects so it can appear like he's reforming earmarks.
Snow storm causes cancellation of Al Gore's testimony on global warming before the Senate. As funny as this sounds, Al Gore is not a joke. He's as bad as Bernie Madoff, but more dangerous. He's a fraud. He lied for personal gain. He's a criminal, and he should be prosecuted. How lucky are we that global cooling happened when it did. If global cooling had waited another 2 years, Al Gore might have been able to push through the most dangerous collectivist agenda since communism. We're not out of the woods yet, Congress keeps moving forward despite the will of the people, but every day that agenda becomes weaker and less likely.
Schwarzenegger wants to tax golf course, veterinarians, auto mechanics and amusement parks to raise money to pay for California's outrageous budget. It's always easy to convince the many to raise taxes on the few. We should figure something out to put an end to that. Of course government uses sales tax exemptions to buy votes, so some businesses and business sectors are exempted.
The Heritage Foundation explains why tax rate reductions are powerful stimulators of the economy and tax rebates, what Democrats are misleading Americans into believing are tax cuts, even for people who don't pay taxes (welfare), are not.
Supporters of rebates argue that they “inject” new money into the economy, increasing demand and, therefore, production. But every dollar that government rebates “inject” into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy. No new spending power is created. It is merely redistributed from one group of people to another. (Even money borrowed from foreigners brings a reduction in net exports.)
59 percent of Americans think government spending will grow too much under Obama compared to 17 percent who think Obama will cut taxes too much. Then how come the media keeps telling us that Americans are united behind Obama's plans? Oh, yeah. They're the media.
Big, irresponsible government isn't limited to the federal government. It's a disease infecting state and local governments too.
McDonald's profit soars during recession. This is important to remember. People will still find a way to eat out. They just will spend less money doing it.
The $825 billion so-called stimulus has already ballooned to $900 billion. Why do we tolerate these aristocrats?
Financial writer wonders why for all Bernanke's failures, few criticize him, let alone call for his resignation.
Cato takes out full page newspaper ad exposing Barack Obama's lie that "There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will jumpstart the economy," signed by over 200 economists. Democrats learned this trick from Al Gore - keep saying "there is no disagreement" enough times, let the accomplice press print it as truth enough times, and liberals will believe it.
Cato rejects the idea of special National Security Courts to try terrorists. Absolutely. This is the kind of fundamental change to our legal system that would quickly be turned against the people. Unfortunately, Cato doesn't like military tribunals either. They want to use civilian courts. That would require our troops to become evidence technicians and provide Miranda warnings to terrorists while in the heat of battle. Every platoon would have a lawyer passing judgment before warfighters could fire. It's interesting that this guy doesn't want the terrorist to be able to grandstand, but that's exactly what would happen in a civilian court or full military trial. No way. This is a war, and it's about time we started fighting it like a war, so we can win and end it. Military tribunals based on the Nuremberg model is the way to go, not the goofy Bush tribunals that tried to emulate a criminal trial. The tribunals would not allow the terrorists to grandstand. Expose the war crimes then execute those terrorists who committed war crimes like Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Hold the rest until the war is over. Just like WWII. All these ideas that grant legal rights to terrorists prolong the war and keep us in a state of perpetual war. I think that's what Americans dislike most.
