He does not believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro- gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month.

Dear Fellow Patriot,

We have a choice in this years Pennsylvania Senatorial election that will have far reaching consequences for Pennsylvania. 

Roger Howard is challenging Dominic Pileggi in the 9th district. Dominic has never been challenged and with the lack of any reformative legislation coming from Harrisburg along with the redistricting fiasco, he is very vulnerable. Can you imagine replacing the third most powerful Republican in Harrisburg? 

Right now what stands in our way is the ability to get the message out. We are ordering yard signs and if we had an extra $1000.00 we could double what we are ordering. 

Can you make a small donation of $10, $25 or $50. It would make a big difference. Please go to the web site now

Constitution 101:
The Meaning and History of the Constitution

Available to you, your family, your friends,
and all Americans.

Weeks One & Two Now Available - Sign Up TODAY!

Dr. Larry P. Arnn

Over the years, many friends of Hillsdale, those who never attended college here, have said to me: "Dr. Arnn, I wish I could take Hillsdale's Constitution course!"

In response to these requests, this past year, for the first time ever, Hillsdale College offered the "Introduction to the Constitution" lecture series at no charge. Frankly, I wasn't sure what sort of a response a course like this would have.

That's why I was excited to see that YOU and almost 200,000 other people from all over the United States registered for "Introduction to the Constitution."

Thank you very much for registering and participating. I hope you learned a lot from the series.

I was thrilled, not only by the response, but at what it indicates: Americans are willing and eager learn about the Constitution and to defend the principles of liberty that made America so prosperous!

And this re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution comes not a minute too soon.

Now, for the first time ever, Hillsdale College is offering a no-cost 10-week online Constitution course based on the class Hillsdale College students must complete for graduation:

"Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution"

This course on the U.S. Constitution is available online at no charge to anyone who wants to understand and defend the timeless principles of liberty upon which our nation was founded!

I am proud to be teaching part of our NEW "Constitution 101" course and hope YOU will be one of my students again!

"Constitution 101" begins on February 20, 2012, and concludes the week of April 30. It will cover such topics as the Declaration of Independence and its connection to the Constitution, how the Constitution is structured to protect individual liberty and ensure good government, the crisis of constitutional government faced by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, and modern challenges to the Constitution during the "Progressive" era.

It is my honor to teach the first class, "The American Mind," and the final class, "The Recovery of the Constitution." All of the classes will be taught by Hillsdale College professors - the top teachers in their field and the same ones who instruct our students here on Hillsdale's campus.

Classes listed in Blue have been posted on YouTube and can be viewed by clicking on the link for each class below.

A Reader 

Editorial Note: Just received a couple of copies of the reader.   Not just a short course pamphlet this; with the heft of 'Atlas Shrugged', it is well worth getting whether or not you choose to take the course. 

Hillsdale College is a private, coeducational, residential, liberal arts college with approximately 1,400 students. Founded in 1844, the College remains, in the words of its Articles of Association, "grateful to God for the inestimable blessings resulting from the presence of civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety" in our nation, and dedicated to "the diffusion of sound learning" that is "essential to the perpetuity of these blessings."

Hillsdale College is distinguished by its rigorous core curriculum, by its principled rejection of federal and state taxpayer funding, and by the pledge of its Board of Trustees to resists any attempts by the government to regulate its internal affairs.

Hillsdale College promotes the principles of liberty nationwide through its national speech digest, Imprimis, which has a monthly circulation of over 2 million, and through several outreach programs. In 2008, Hillsdale launched its Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. The College will also launch the Hillsdale Graduate School of Statesmanship in fall 2012.

 March 23rd, 2012, marks an important and unfortunate anniversary. It will have been exactly two years since President Obama forced his unpopular health care takeover onto the American people. Americans for Prosperity has educated the public about the dangers of government interference in the health care market for the past several years, and now the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments and make a ruling on that very issue. As you are most likely aware, the U.S. Supreme Court will be considering the constitutionality of several elements of the President's health care bill. This may be our best chance to overturn this offense against our health care freedoms. That's why Americans for Prosperity will be hosting a Hands Off My Health Care rally for free-market grassroots activists from across the country at the Supreme Court on March 27th. Details can be found below.

The Nationwide Rally for Religious Freedom is being held Friday, March 23 atnoon, local time, outside federal buildings, Congressional offices and historic sites across the country. The theme for the Rally is "Stand Up for Religious Freedom-Stop the HHS Mandate!"

Thousands of Americans of all faiths will be participating in these peaceful rallies, organized by the Pro-Life Action League and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society to oppose the new mandate from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that requires all employers provide free contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs through their health plans, even in violation of their consciences.

Religious leaders and other public figures will speak out against the HHS Mandate at each Rally site. Holding signs reading "Stand Up for Religious Freedom" and "Stop the HHS Mandate," participants will offer hymns and prayers for our nation and pass out literature to the public about why the HHS Mandate is unconstitutional and Un-American.

The Nationwide Rally for Religious Freedom will be a peaceful, family-friendly, non-partisan, ecumenical event. For more information, please see the Rally Guidelines and Protocols, below.

From July 16 through July 18, 2012, Christians United for Israel will be holding its 7th Annual Washington Summit. We're going back to stand with Israel in our nation's capital. This year - more than ever - we need you to join us!

In the coming months, critical decisions are going to be made about Iran, Israel and the world. Finally, Washington is beginning to focus on the issue of a nuclear Iran. Many of our leaders want to confront this looming threat. But others want to keep kicking the can down the road. The debate is far from over.

• We know that when thousands of CUFI activists arrive in DC and on Capitol Hill, we can change the conversation.
• We can remind our leaders that a nuclear Iran is not only a threat to Israel, but to the US as well. And we can demonstrate to our elected officials that their constituents care enough about this issue to show up at their DC offices.
• We know that we can create a sense of immediacy that's otherwise lacking.
• We know that the more of us who show up and speak out -- the louder our voice and the greater our impact.

We stand at a critical juncture in history. Don't be silent! Don't miss your chance to make a difference! Don't pass up your opportunity to defend America and bless Israel!

Our leaders need to remember that we are watching them and we need to remember that God is watching us.

Gloria Carlineo, Republican candidate for State Representative in the 29th legislative district, today announced that her campaign would appeal a Judge's decision that her ballot access petitions had only 294 of the 300 registered Republican signatures required to be placed on the ballot for the April 24th primary.

Liberal union endorsed incumbent Bernie O'Neill is unwilling to face the Republican voters of his district because he will need to defend his record of representing the interests of the party and union bosses over the interests of taxpayers.

We clearly have over 300 registered Republican signatures, however, Bernie O'Neill's party boss lawyers want to use obscure technicalities to invalidate what are good signatures. For example, these lawyers have argued that many signatures are "bad" because the signer left out the year when they entered the date of signing. It is obvious that these signatures were signed during the correct time period.

It is clear that O'Neill will do whatever it takes to not have to run in a Republican primary against a fiscal conservative.

Justice Department files objection to Texas voter ID law

Published March 12, 2012 | FoxNews.com

The Obama administration has once more gone too far in its "overreach," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Monday, after the Justice Department objected to the state's new voter photo ID law, saying Texas failed to demonstrate that the law is not discriminatory by design against Hispanic voters.

"Texas has a responsibility to ensure elections are fair, beyond reproach and accurately reflect the will of voters. The DOJ has no valid reason for rejecting this important law, which requires nothing more extensive than the type of photo identification necessary to receive a library card or board an airplane. Their denial is yet another example of the Obama administration's continuing and pervasive federal overreach," Perry said.

On Monday, the Justice Dpartment's head of the civil rights division, Tom Perez, sent a a six-page letter to Texas' director of elections saying that Texas has not "sustained its burden" under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to show that the new law will not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters. About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification.

RedState Morning Briefing

For March 14, 2012

After the Iowa Caucuses, the Morning Briefing was single issue.  After what happened last night, I think we need to focus again on a single issue - the Souther primaries that occurred.  

This morning you were going to read a post from me saying Mitt Romney was definitely now the nominee and it was time for Santorum and Gingrich to drop out. The post was predicated on late polling and early corresponding exit polling from yesterday showing that Mitt Romney won Mississippi. He had finally won in the south.

But the early exits changed with the late exits. The late polling was wrong. Happily I could delete my post. Not only did Mitt Romney not win either Alabama or Mississippi, but he is, as you wake up, coming in third in both. The polls were wrong.

Yesterday, Mitt Romney went on CNN and told Wolf Blitzer that Rick Santorum's campaign was coming to a "desperate end." That seems more apt this morning to Romney's southern campaign. Given his poor showing, it's understandable if you expect Newt Gingrich to call on Romney to get out.

There is a lot to review in this biggest story of the day. But the start should be a simple question: does Mitt Romney need more debates?

The Romney camp signaled it was tired of the debates. But in the Florida debates the Romney camp largely destroyed Gingrich before winning Florida. In the Mesa, AZ debate on CNN the Romney camp ruined Rick Santorum before winning Arizona and barely Michigan.

Both times the Romney campaign used good debate performances to rebound lagging poll numbers into real momentum. Then he decided to stop debating. Out of sight and out of mind, conservatives forgot why they thought he was the guy who could beat Obama.

The most striking thing about last night's elections is that none of the candidates can close the deal. In effect, there was a three way tie, though it worked to Romney's disadvantage.

Newt Gingrich last night proved he is neither a regional candidate nor a spoiler. His influence is headed into Ron Paul territory. Gingrich could not win the deep south. He won Georgia and South Carolina. A Catholic yankee from Pennsylvania won Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and will probably win Louisiana. Even with Gingrich in the race, Santorum beat Romney. He was no spoiler.   Gingrich's final act could be king maker by getting out and endorsing, but pride cometh before the fall. Gingrich is in mid fall. What a sad end to a brilliant legacy. But his campaign is over. All we need is Haley Joel Osment and M. Night Shyamalan to point out to him he is dead.

Santorum won the states. It was a huge victory. But even he is not closing the deal. The striking thing about the exits, which over all captured the race fairly well, is that Santorum's voters made up their mind in the last few weeks. In other words, Santorum's voters made up their minds as Romney was winning Arizona, Michigan, and Ohio. Santorum's vote is not about Santorum so much as it is about stopping Romney. He needs to bring those voters fully on board and give them a reason to vote for Santorum. He is on the verge of doing so.

Were I Mitt Romney I'd be firing staff. It's almost like God himself is toying with Romney. Maybe it is because the Romney camp says it would take an Act of God for Santorum or Gingrich to win. God seems like he wants to make it happen.

I don't think I have seen any political team mishandle and bungle expectations as badly as Team Romney. Every time they let expectations get out of hand they lose. They did it in Iowa. They did it in South Carolina. They did it in Tennessee. They did it in Mississippi. Hell, they did it in Michigan where Romney did win, but by less than three percent.

No doubt buoyed by exit polling yesterday, the Romney campaign made sure everyone knew they could seriously win Mississippi. By 8pm, Eric Fehrnstrom was on CNN telling Anderson Cooper that no one really thought Romney would win Alabama or Mississippi. I couldn't help but laugh in the background.

In five years of campaigning it is stunning to me that the Romney camp still has no clue how to play the expectations game. It is increasingly clear it is not a well run campaign, Mitt Romney is not a good campaigner, but he will still, more likely than not, be the GOP nominee.  While all eyes were focused on Alabama and Mississippi, Romney was doing quite well in Hawaii and American Samoa.

Like sterile accountants counting pennies, the Romney camp keeps counting delegates. That can get them to a win, but it will be an uninspiring win. There is little enthusiasm for Romney with the base.  In heavily Republican Madison County, MS, voter turn out barely topped 7,000 voters.  In 2008, when the GOP contest was done and everyone knew McCain would be the nominee, 10,500 people still turned out to vote for McCain.  Yes, more Republicans turned out to vote McCain in 2008 than Romney in 2012.  That's a problem.  That's a lack of enthusiasm.

The problem is two fold now. The base doesn't like Romney, but the base doesn't really like the other options either. At the same time, the base does not want this primary to end.

The roller coaster continues. The one sure thing out of this is that, though Romney is not becoming a better candidate as the primaries continue, Rick Santorum sure is. As for Newt? He is becoming less relevant.

  We are shocked...shocked!  

In that famous scene in the movie "Casablanca," Captain Renault exclaims to Rick that he is "shocked, shocked" to find gambling going on.

Just so, we are "shocked" to read that a former CAIR official, now a candidate for President in Egypt, wants to fully implement sharia law. (See the Jihad Watch post below, highlights added, and the link to the MEMRI video.)

As we have said before, it's clear to us that CAIR's real agenda is not protecting "civil rights"-but insinuating sharia law into America in any way possible.

  Former Hamas-linked CAIR official running for president in Egypt, pledges to "complete the implementation of Islamic law in Egypt"
  http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/03/former-hamas-linked-cair-official-running-for-president-in-egypt-pledges-to-complete-the-implementat.html
  What he says is not so surprising. Who he is is what is noteworthy here. "Egyptian Presidential Candidate Bassem Khafaji Pledges to 'Complete the Implementation of Islamic Law in Egypt,'" from MEMRI TV, March 7 (thanks to Benedict):

  Jihad Watch reader Benedict, who kindly alerted me to the above item, also points out that Bassem Khafaji, or Khafagi, used to work in the U.S. for Hamas-linked CAIR:

  Hamas-linked CAIR constantly insists that Muslims in the U.S. don't want to implement Sharia here. So did Khafagi change his mind about Sharia when he went back to Egypt? Or does he think Sharia should be implemented in Egypt but not here? Or maybe he and others in Hamas-linked CAIR really do want to bring Sharia here? I confidently await the imminent explanation from Honest Ibe Hooper, clearing all this up!

Harvard Never Learns

 

This past weekend Harvard hosted a One-State Solution Conference, designed to promote the dissolution of Israel. It is only the latest example of that university's longstanding practice of facilitating the spread of anti-Semitism.

The virulently anti-Israel Harvard student organizations that sponsored the event, including the Palestine Solidarity Committee, Justice for Palestine, the Palestine Caucus, and the Arab Caucus, acknowledge in the program that the One-State Solution Conference would not have been possible without the support of the Carr Center for Human Rights at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and funding from the Harvard Provost's Office and the Center for International Affairs.

Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust and her administration did not express any concern over the conference's heavily biased and non-scholarly nature. Not one of the speakers is known to be sympathetic to Israel, and many are prominently involved in the campaign to boycott Israel's universities and to pressure American schools to divest any holdings in corporations that do business there.

The Historical Reality of the Muslim Conquests
by Raymond Ibrahim | March 12, 2012      

Because it is now almost axiomatic for American school textbooks to whitewash all things Islamic (see here for example), it may be instructive to examine one of those aspects that are regularly distorted: the Muslim conquests.

Few events of history are so well documented and attested to as are these conquests, which commenced soon after the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad (632) and tapered off circa 750. Large swathes of the Old World - from India in the east, to Spain in the west - were conquered and consolidated by the sword of Islam during this time, with more after (e.g., the Ottoman conquests).

By the standards of history, the reality of these conquests is unassailable, for history proper concerns itself with primary sources; and the Islamic conquests are thoroughly documented. More importantly, the overwhelming majority of primary source materials we rely on do not come from non-Muslims, who might be accused of bias. Rather, the foremost historians bequeathing to posterity thousands of pages of source materials documenting the Islamic conquests were not only Muslims themselves, they were - and still are - regarded by today's Muslims as pious and trustworthy scholars (generically, the ulema).      Read more:

Is Obama Running Against Sarah Palin? 

Posted: 13 Mar 2012 07:58 AM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

Is the Obama campaign trying to re-live the glory days of 2008? Or is attacking Sarah Palin, who hasn't been in any official capacity for some years now, just another attempt to firm up Obama's liberal base? On Friday, the Obama campaign released this rather weird, one-minute ad that focuses entirely on Ms. Palin:

Almost the entire ad consists of Palin criticizing President Obama. She has complained that the ad is selectively edited, but the gist of her criticisms comes through clearly, notwithstanding that they aren't very articulately expressed, and they are not rebutted, except by a graphic that says they are "wrong." Generally politicians don't consider it effective to run ads that merely show critics expressing hostile opinions.

Energy: Dueling Headlines for Dunces 

Posted: 13 Mar 2012 06:16 AM PDT

(Steven Hayward)

Perhaps the greatest example of cluelessness in the pages of the New York Times was their bafflement a few years ago over the fact that the prison population was still rising even though the crime rate was falling, apparently unable to discern a possible link between the two. ("Crime Keeps on Falling, But Prisons Keep on Filling" was the impossible-to-lampoon, Onion-worthy headline.) Or as one wit put it: we started lowering the crime rate when we finally acknowledged that the "root cause" of crime is criminals, and treated them accordingly.

But yesterday the Times offered a wonderful contrast of stories that capture the full cluelessness of Obama-style liberalism today. The first reported the woes of the Energy Department loan guarantee program that brought you such stunning successes as Solyndra: "Solyndra Is Blamed as Clean-Energy Loan Program Stalls."

CRB: Upon Further Review

(Scott Johnson)

Our friends a the Claremont Review of Books have just launched a new online feature, and they have made the first installment available to Power Line readers for a preview this morning. After much deliberation, the feature has been given the name Upon Further Review. The idea is to give the author of a CRB essay or review the opportunity to answer some questions and dig a little deeper into the subject of his or her piece.

In our look at the new issue of the CRB, We led off with Professor Diana Schaub's provocative essay on the life of Malcolm X. Among other things, Professor Schaub argued that Malcolm X's life typifies life in America and that he is in some ways a better embodiment of the American experience than Martin Luther King, Jr. In the first installment of Upon Further Review, the CRB interviews Professor Schaub about the piece.

CBS has released several CBS/New York Times polls that suggest the failure of the intense propaganda campaign waged by the White House and the mainstream media. Below John discusses the poll that shows Obama's approval rating sinking to a new low. CBS reports the results of the poll here. A sidebar to the poll shows that a majority of Americans believes gas prices are something a president can do a lot about - by a margin of 54-36. The poll on the president's power to affect gas prices is also reported here.

Despite the intense propaganda barrage to which we have been subjected over the past several weeks, CBS reports that most Americans believe there should be an exception to the mandate requiring employers who may have a moral or religious objection to cover birth control for their employees - by a margin of 57-36. A majority believes that even nonreligious employers should have the right to opt out - by a margin of 51-40. CBS reports the results of the poll here. To the extent that the White House and its media friends have succeeded in confusing the issue, Americans support the White House position.

Senators Claim to Have Votes Needed to Grant Additional Work Visas to Irish by St. Paddy's Day!

Call your Senators and tell them the U.S. does not need more guest workers!

Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Scott Brown (R-MA) are lobbying harder than ever this week to pass legislation that would grant an additional 10,500 work visas to Irish nationals BEFORE St. Patrick's Day, this Saturday, March 17! Sources say that at least one of them claims to have the filibuster proof majority necessary to pass such legislation in the Senate.

The legislation could come in the form of either an amended version of S.1983 by Sen. Schumer or S.2005 by Sen. Brown, and would increase guest workers by doubling the number of E-3 visa holders to the U.S. each year. The number of workers brought into the country could grow exponentially once an unlimited number of visas are handed out to the spouses and children (up to the age of 21) of these visa holders!

Not only does this legislation hurt Americans by bringing in more guest workers at a time of high unemployment, but it also represents terrible immigration policy by carving out a special rule for one particular nationality. Moreover, to qualify for this visa, aliens would need to meet only nominal requirements. The legislation that's been introduced only requires visa recipients to have two years of work experience in a particular field, OR to have obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent. Making matters worse, employers are not required to look for U.S. workers first before sponsoring an E-3 visa holder.

CALL your Senators TODAY and tell them:

• You oppose S.1983 and S.2005;
• The U.S. should NOT add an additional 10,500 guest workers to compete with the already 13 million unemployed Americans seeking jobs; and
• Congress should not be in the business of carving out special rules for members of a single nationality. Congress should draft immigration law so that it is uniform in application and is blind to the home country of an alien applicant.

Find your Senators' phone numbers here.

Help us jumpstart this national petition drive to pressure Speaker John Boehner on national mandatory E-Verify.

Ordinarily, those of you who live outside Ohio don't have much of an avenue to try to influence the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

This petition is a chance to show Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio) that the polls are right -- the whole nation wants mandatory E-Verify to prevent every employer in the nation from hiring any more illegal aliens.
  ACTION:

SIGN THE PETITION: www.numbersusa.com/petition?ID=42

Then be sure to fill in other email addresses to whom we can send the petition.

You will find that the petition is quite respectful of the Speaker but pulls no punches as to what is at stake.

This is what you will find on the petition page:
  National E-Verify Is Stuck in U.S. House While Jobless Americans Suffer

Only Speaker John Boehner Can Get It Moving into Law

PETITION TO SPEAKER BOEHNER:
Bring Mandatory E-Verify to a Floor Vote
And Put Jobless Americans Back to Work

Dear Speaker Boehner:

We the undersigned, being likely voters in the fall congressional elections, respectfully ask that you allow your colleagues in the House of Representatives to debate, amend and vote on H.R. 2885, the Legal Workforce Act. Millions of unemployed Americans and their families suffer every week you delay.

The House Judiciary Committee passed this bill last September. During this six-month delay, jobless Americans who immediately would have found work upon final enactment have had to remain unemployed, worrying about making their mortgage and caring for their children because E-Verify has not been made mandatory for all employers. And millions more jobless Americans will start earning paychecks again in the first five years after the Legal Workforce Act is enacted. No wonder a recent Pulse Opinion Research poll found that 65% to 90% of every racial, political, age, income, and religious group of Americans supports national electronic workplace verification.

This is a jobs bill that will cost almost nothing to implement and will bring great honor on those leaders who usher it into law.
  SIGN THE PETITION: www.numbersusa.com/petition?ID=42
  THANKS,

-- ROY

The "Hispanic vote bogyman" threat is actually a Democrat problem not ours

Mar 13, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

It's election time so that means Democrats rolls out one of its favorites weapons: the "Hispanic vote bogyman" threat. The script goes this way: The Democrat supporting Hispanics dictate a demand list to Republicans then watch them squirm and pander. To add some salsa to the threat they promise retaliation at the polls if Republicans dare to ignore them.

This kind of knuckling under has never gone well for Republicans. Endless concessions and saying things like, "We'll give your cousin amnesty. We'll give your kids our kids' college classroom seats - and throw in our jobs food stamps and ignore your past voter fraud; but please vote for us"  rarely wins us Hispanic support but rarely fails to anger our base who sometimes stay home on Election Day. 

Every cycle Hispanic voters thank us for the goodies laugh behind our back and vote Democrat anyway.  Chasing votes we will never get is a fool's ... Continue Reading:The "Hispanic vote bogyman" threat is actually a Democrat problem not ours

   Juliette Low began the Girls Scouts, MARCH 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia.
Chronic ear infections as a child made one ear deaf.
A grain of rice thrown at her wedding lodged in her other ear, which was punctured by the procedure to remove it.
Juliette Low's father, a U.S. Army General, was previously a Civil War Confederate captain.
In the Spanish-American War, Juliette Low and her mother organized a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers returning from Cuba.
After her husband's death in 1905, Juliette Low traveled to England where in 1911 she met Boer War hero Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts.
They were engaged to be married, but the wedding was cancelled.
Returning to America, Juliette Low founded Girl Guides.
Dying of breast cancer in 1927, she was buried in her uniform.

Is the obvious THAT hard to see?

Mar 12, 2012 02:13 pm | Coach Collins

By Ron Reale, staff writer

What is it about the pundits that they can't seem to get that WE, the American People, have no problem with a "brokered" Convention for the GOP?
Why are they so afraid of allowing this process? I just heard Dick Morris declare that we NEED a candidate, asking principled people to just "vote for Romney!" Not because he is the best person, but because he, Dick Morris, believes we need to short circuit the process, and, in the process, disenfranchise the very people we will need to vote for our eventual candidate.
Way to get out the vote, Dick!

We like this process. The only reason it has gotten so ugly is because of the candidates themselves. Newt claimed he was going to have a positive campaign, but millions of dollars in negative attacks were the response.

I still wish Newt had resisted being dragged into the sewer, and had remained positive ... Continue Reading:Is the obvious THAT hard to see?

WOLF: Democrats sneak Uncle Sam into your bedroom

They give donors, political allies at Big Pharma a wet kiss

Illustration by Linas Garsys for The Washington Times

Pop quiz: What is the most expensive lunch you can buy? Answer: The one someone convinces you is free. Ask your average fifth-grader if there's such thing as a free lunch. Now ask a Democrat. Care to wager who's smarter? Another quiz: How can Democrats avoid discussions of Obamacare's growing price tag, the failed stimulus, green job boondoggles, unemployment, bank bailouts, auto takeovers, food stamps, credit downgrades and soaring gas prices? Answer: Claim that Republicans want to steal your girly parts.

 

When the going gets tough, the left gets predictable. Democrats' false promises of big-government utopia have collapsed once again and so they retreat to their well-worn playbook, which really only has three plays: class warfare, an overcharged race card and an equally overcharged gender card. Throw in some good old-fashioned corporate boondoggles and voila! Democrats have their re-election plan.

 

Under the sweeping powers of Obamacare, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is empowered to reach into our churches and direct how they will practice their religion. Yawn. Just another day under President Obama's authoritarian regime. But why harass churches? Because, as New York Democrat Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney claims, there's a "Republican crusade to limit access to birth control. ..." There is?

Labor Dept. documents: MSNBC's Ed Schultz on labor union payrolls since 2005

ADVERTISEMENT

U.S. labor unions paid MSNBC "Ed Show" host Ed Schultz roughly $200,000 in 2011, and roughly $337,000 over the last seven years, according to Department of Labor documents.

 

Newsbusters first reported that the liberal TV talker received $190,000 from the Communications Workers of America for "representational activities" in 2011. CWA president Larry Cohen is a regular guest on Schultz's radio program.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers also paid Schultz $9,900 last year.

 

In 2010 his union salaries totaled a comparatively small $37,350. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME); the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW); and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) paid him $15,000, $14,850 and $7,500, respectively.

 

The unions classified the 2010 payments to Schultz as "union administration" expenses, according to Labor Department records.

Schultz's union salaries doubled since the debut of "The Ed Show" on MSNBC in 2009.

 

The unions' records, filed with the federal government in compliance with the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, show that his financial ties with unions date back to 2005.

NEWSPAPER ROUNDUP:

 The First Freedom

In 1634 when the Ark and the Dove arrived, carrying English settlers to what is now Saint Mary's County, those brave women and men established the first settlement to offer and guarantee religious liberty to all of the inhabitants. In effect, they constructed what would become known as the birthplace of religious freedom in America.

History teaches us that the right to religious liberty is fragile and must be vigilantly guarded if it is not to be lost. The Catholic bishops of Maryland -- Washington Archbishop Donald Cardinal Wuerl, Baltimore Apostolic Administrator Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien, and Wilmington Bishop W. Francis Malooly -- have released a statement outlining increasing threats to this cherished right and highlighting the urgent need for all people to take steps to defend religious liberty.
