Mike Huckabee '08 has a series of great posts up showing how Governor Huckabee continues to improve his campaign in an all out blitz to win the Republican Primary. This is also a direct result of the campaign listening to it's grassroots supporters.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.
History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened.
Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country.
With an SI Power Ranking of 20 the Bears have much to prove and improve. Before I go into my reasons for disappointment with the Bears I want it to be known I have been a Bears fan since I was a child. I will also say that like a parent with a misbehaving child that my disappointment would never cause me to disown or love the Bears any less.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting on the effort that is beginning to possibly recall Governor Granholm and several Michigan elected officials who betrayed the citizens of the state of Michigan by voting for tax increases. The Governor is apparently upset over this. She must feel the people of Michigan deserve even higher taxes and loss of even more employers. How about this instead, Governor Granholm and this goes for my Governor too, how about you cut spending instead of raising taxes.
For the positive spin here is an article from the Grand Forks Herald. If you are going to do a smoking ban this is how it should be done, at the state level where mistakes can actually be reversed.
It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.
Well, this is no surprise at all to anyone who follows Middle Eastern events. Israel Today has the details, but I would like to add; why is it that the media can get away with always making Israel and the U.S. out to be the bad guys? Answer, because we let them.
It has been great seeing Justice Thomas everywhere lately. This is one of the few justices I look up to. If we had eight more like him this country would be a better place. Here is a great article I found on TownHall.
The Jerusalem Post is finally able to report on Israel's raid into Norther Syria. The censor's office appears for the first time to be confirming the raid. I would look for more information to slowly trickle out now. I have the feeling we are indebted, once again, to Israel for taking action the rest of the world was either unable or unwilling to do.
It is a singular advantage of taxes on articles of consumption that they contain in their own nature a security against excess. They prescribe their own limit, which cannot be exceeded without defeating the end purposed - that is, an extension of the revenue.
