The final habits of highly defective people - Not wanting to leave you as an incomplete loser, but desiring to finish you off so you’ll be certain to be a disaster to your family, church and state, herewith are the two final habits of decidedly defective people: #9) Have an “It’s not my job” mentality and #10) Quit when the going gets tough. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/douggiles/2005/12/10/178590.html

Bill OReilly and the decline of cable news http://www.newswithviews.com/Kincaid/cliff74.htm

Basic Economics – Walter Williams With all the recent hype and demagoguery about gasoline price-gouging, maybe it's time to talk about the basics of exchange. … Some might argue that there's unequal bargaining power between me and the gas retailer. That's nonsense! The retailer has the power to charge any price he wishes, but I have the power to decide how much I'll buy, including none, at that price. …As Professor Thomas DiLorenzo points out in "Four Thousand Years of Price Control," price controls have produced calamities wherever and whenever they've been tried. …Economic ignorance, misconceptions and superstition drive us toward totalitarianism because they make us more willing to hand over greater control of our lives to politicians. That results in a diminution of our liberties. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/walterwilliams/2005/12/07/178043.html

Why are Republicans governing like Democrats? – Dick Armey Our base rightly expects Republicans to govern by the principles--lower taxes, less government and more freedom--that got them elected. Today, with Republicans controlling both the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, there is a widening credibility gap between their political rhetoric and their public policies. …To succeed in the future, the Republican Party must get back to basics. We need, in effect, another Republican takeover of Congress, reaffirming a commitment to less government, lower taxes and more freedom. As in 1994, this revolution will be driven by the Young Turks of the party--the brave backbenchers more inspired by Reagan than the possibility of a glowing editorial on the pages of the New York Times. Indeed, this is already happening. …One final Armey Axiom: When we act like us, we win. When we act like them, we lose. http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110007632

DeLay Hammers Earle of Austin – Ann Coulter For the judge to dismiss an indictment before trial, it means he concluded that – even if the jury finds everything Ronnie Earle alleges to be true – no crime was committed. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/anncoulter/2005/12/07/178224.html

Lying to ourselves about education – Pat Buchanan [A]fter 40 years and trillions of tax dollars plunged into pubic education at all levels, how stands public education?... By national standards, four of every five kids in the Tennessee and Mississippi public schools are failing. .. American children are not learning as once they did. And the ethnic gaps in achievement that existed 40 years ago persist up to today.  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47736

Does a Catholic school have the right to fire an unmarried pregnant teacher? The civil liberties union made a mistake in taking this case, because it is now in the position of arguing that an anti-discrimination law overrides the First Amendment right of free exercise of religion. …Someone should explain to the campuses  (and to McCusker’s supporters) what religious freedom means. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/johnleo/2005/12/05/177723.html

Spy Chips – by Larry Pratt http://www.newswithviews.com/Pratt/larry52.htm

John McCain’s war on political speech - Bradley Smith As I step down as chairman of the Federal Election Commission, I fear that the regulatory machinery set in motion by Sens. John McCain and Russ Feingold will be used to further grind down the free expression of individual citizens. …The act includes a provision that prohibits most citizen groups, such as the National Rifle Association, the Sierra Club, and Planned Parenthood, from making any broadcast advertisements within 60 days of an election that even mention a candidate for federal office …Why should personal payments to successful politicians be relatively free from regulation, yet much smaller campaign contributions to not-yet-successful politicians be strictly regulated and reported, down to the contributions from parents of the candidates?…Right now in First Amendment jurisprudence there is more protection for simulated child pornography, flag burning, tobacco advertising, or burning a cross in an African-American residential neighborhood than there is for running an advertisement that merely mentions a congressman’s name within 60 days of an election….I would suggest that ethics and government are served by political competition, and that regulation of campaign finances in fact serves as protectionism for incumbent politicians.   http://www.reason.com/0512/fe.bs.john.shtml
