No more benefit of the doubt for Bush What is most troubling about this whole affair, however, is the way the administration has gone about trying to demonize conservatives who have raised questions about Ms. Miers. It began from day one to attack personally the motives, loyalty and judgment of anyone who questioned the wisdom of the nomination. Since then, the ad hominem attacks on Miers’s conservative critics have been unconscionably heavy-handed and will haunt the president regardless of how the nomination fight turns out. http://thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/Comment/DavidKeene/101805.html

The final straw – Conservative grievances against Bush – by Bruce Bartlett Had George W. Bush demonstrated more fealty to conservative principles over the last five years, he might have gotten a pass on Miers. But coming on top of all the big government initiatives he has supported, few in the conservative movement are inclined to give him the benefit of a doubt any longer. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/brucebartlett/2005/10/18/171730.html

Indiana’s Mike Pence has been sorely tested and is as good as gold As Pence noted in his Heritage speech, “Conservatives know that government that governs least governs best. Conservatives know that as government expands, freedom contracts. Conservatives know that government should never do for a man what he can and should do for himself.” http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/rebeccahagelin/2005/10/18/171726.html

Random Thoughts – Thomas Sowell Senator Dianne Feinstein asked Judge John Roberts whether his being Catholic would interfere with carrying out his duties on the Supreme Court but she would undoubtedly have felt insulted if anyone had asked her whether being Jewish would interfere with her carrying out her duties as a Senator. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2005/10/18/171728.html

The doomsday provision – John Stossel Guns are dangerous. But myths are dangerous, too. Myths about guns are very dangerous, because they lead to bad laws. And bad laws kill people. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/JohnStossel/2005/10/19/171896.html

Sin is not cost effective - A country’s “moral resources,” like the transparency of government, a lack of corruption and the rule of law make the difference between an impoverished economy and a thriving one. Without a legal system that protects investments from theft, few people will take the risk of investing. Within a system that protects those who take bribes, those who produce jobs are at a serious disadvantage. Reforming the legal system in underdeveloped countries is a necessary part of any strategy for economic advancement.  http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?article=292

Do poor blacks need to hear “millions more” excuses? – Star Parker Do poor blacks really need to hear "millions more" excuses why black men can't be faithful to one woman and be responsible for the children they bear?

Martial Law Coming To A Neighborhood Near You? To sum this all up: our military is reduced in strength and are now overseas; our reserves are used up; our borders are open; terrorists are inside our country and may even have access to nuclear weapons; our federal government is totally infiltrated with global-socialists; and now we are facing a global pandemic that might require "foreign assets" and martial law! http://www.newswithviews.com/Craig/roberts8.htm

Eminent domain in New Jersey – How They Just Steal Land Segal charges that last May 21, Albert G. Mauti Jr. and his cousin Joseph hosted a fundraiser for Assemblyman Joseph Cryan at the Westmount Country Club in Passaic County. The two developers and family members picked up the $10,400 dinner tab, donated another $8,000 and raised more than $70,000 that night for Cryan, a powerful Union County Democrat, according to state election records. Three days later, the township officials -- all Democrats -- introduced their eminent domain land grab. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/10/17/145458.shtml
