Chilling political speech – Hugh Hewitt Every single controversy is bound up in this one, and the error of Buckley is the error that touches every dimension of political life in America.  The political system that could otherwise be relied upon to bring about change via statute and amendment is itself trussed up by the incumbents who are in no hurry to restore competitiveness to the electoral landscape. The inmates are indeed running the asylum, and the challengers are locked out by the aftermath of Buckley. …We lost in 1976 the full and fair and absolutely free political debate that had been the legacy of the revolution. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/HughHewitt/2007/03/29/an_amici_curiae_without_precedent

Global warming heresy – Walter Williams Manmade carbon dioxide emissions are roughly 5 percent of the total; the rest are from natural sources such as volcanoes, dying vegetation and animals. …in the year 1,000 A.D., a time when there were no SUVs, the Earth's climate was much warmer than it is now. Most of this century's warming occurred before 1940. For several decades after WWII, when there was massive worldwide industrialization, there was cooling. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2007/03/28/global_warming_heresy

Compassion and the decline of America – Dennis Prager http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/03/20/compassion_and_the_decline_of_america

A dose of reality on health care spending – Ed Feulner If it’s free, I’ll take two. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/EdFeulner/2007/03/30/its_time_for_a_dose_of_reality_in_federal_health-care_spending

Why are atheists so angry? – Dennis Prager If I and all other believers in God are to be lumped with Muslims who believe that slaughtering innocents gets you sex in heaven, then you must be lumped with Josef Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung and all the other atheists who butchered more innocents than all the religious crackpots in history. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/03/28/sam_harris_and_dennis_prager_jewcy_debate

An assessment of globalization [A]n import tariff is economically irrational to the people in the country imposing it because it keeps products more expensive than they could be… Overall, domestic protectionism eliminates more jobs than it saves. …The best policy for the United States would be to unilaterally abolish all our protectionist measures. This would have three major benefits: It would raise the standard of living; it would promote international peace and friendship; and perhaps most importantly, it would eliminate a whole raft of privileges that go against the fundamental American/biblical principle of equality before the law. http://gcc.savvior.com/Globalization_An_assessment.php

Myths about radical Islam – Dinesh D’Souza http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DineshDSouza/2007/03/26/liberal_myths_about_radical_islam

Universal choice can fix the health care roof – Herman Cain Universal deductibility of health insurance premiums by employers, employees, the unemployed, individuals and business owners would connect the consumer to health care costs. When people spend their own money, they spend it more wisely. Most people will purchase health plans they can afford, instead of expecting more benefits from their employer or the government. …  if you have a leak in the roof of a building and you know that the roof is leaking, you don’t blow up the building to fix the leak in the roof. That's what total government control would do to our health care system. The system will work if government would get out of the way. We don't have to blow up the system to fix a few leaks. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/HermanCain/2007/03/26/universal_choice_can_fix_the_health_care_roof

New form of evil is why America has not won Iraq war – Dennis Prager No one, right, left or center, could imagine a group of people so evil, so devoid of the most elementary and universal concepts of morality, that they would target their own people, especially the most vulnerable, for murder. .. There are respectable arguments to be made against America's initially going into Iraq. But intellectually honest opponents of the war have to acknowledge that no one could anticipate an "insurgency" that included people leaving children in a car and then blowing them up. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/03/27/new_form_of_evil_is_why_america_has_not_won_iraq_war

Dangerous demagoguery – Thomas Sowell Only an American defeat in Iraq can ensure the Democrats' political victory next year. Their only strategy is to sabotage the chances for a military victory in Iraq without being held responsible for a defeat.

That is the corner that they have painted themselves into with their demagoguery that even their own supporters see through.  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/03/27/dangerous_demagoguery

The Revolutionary Candidate (Ron Paul) Lobbyists don’t even bother going to his office. If their scheme doesn’t fall among the federal government’s enumerated powers under the Constitution, they know perfectly well that there is no chance Ron Paul will support it. http://www.lewrockwell.com/woods/woods63.html

Enjoy the sideshow
However, I am reminded of both Bush's and Gonzalez's response to critics of the draconian Patriot Act, and other policies highly invasive to the private lives of American citizens, when they arrogantly replied, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about." Well, now the shoe is on the other foot. If Bush and Gonzalez have nothing to hide, they have nothing to worry about......

Was Valerie Covert? – Robert Novak Had not Plame been outed years ago by a Soviet agent? Was she not on an administrative, not operational, track at Langley? How could she be covert if, in public view, she drove to work each day at Langley? What about comments to me by then CIA spokesman Bill Harlow that Plame never would be given another foreign assignment? What about testimony to the FBI that her CIA employment was common knowledge in Washington? http://townhall.com/columnists/RobertDNovak/2007/03/22/was_valerie_covert

Is North American Union About Political Ideology?
Those currently working on such a plan do not share your ideals; they do not support your political positions. They do not understand nor care about your concerns. It's their political ideology and they see nothing wrong with what they are doing. They consider your opposition to their plans to "harmonize" the U.S. with Mexico and Canada old fashioned and out of date.  The question is where do you stand?.....

Congress should restore parental rights in public schools – Phyllis Schlafly Because Congress is doling out hundreds of millions of dollars a year to public schools, it's perfectly proper to attach strings to the receipt of taxpayer money. The easy way to do this is to require all schools receiving federal funds to sign compliance statements similar to the compliance statements by which grantees pledge not to discriminate on account of race or sex. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/PhyllisSchlafly/2007/03/20/congress_should_restore_parental_rights_in_public_schools

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is
To mayors in cities across America, I extend this challenge to you. Stop wasting our children’s time and billions of our tax dollars on futile programs to “improve” the government schools. Politicians have been trying to “improve” these schools for the last fifty years, and the schools have only gotten worse. The public-school system is beyond repair because government is not the solution, it is the problem......
