North American Union Plan Headed to Congress in the Fall "The free flow of people across national borders will undoubtedly continue throughout the world as well as in North America, as will the social, political and economic challenges that accompany this trend," says the report. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55830

Can mankind really stop climate change?  Walter Williams In the past 65 million years, the Earth's temperature has increased and decreased with no help from mankind. My questions to the anti-climate change warriors are: Can mankind really stop climate change, and what is the "correct" Earth temperature? http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2007/05/16/things_to_think_about

First principles – Fred Thompson [I]f judges continue to act like politicians they will get the respect currently given to politicians. … I have called for a pardon for Scooter Libby. When you rectify an injustice using the provisions of the law, just as when you reverse an erroneous court decision, you are not disregarding the rule of law, you are enforcing and protecting it. http://townhall.com/columnists/FredThompson/2007/05/14/first_principles_first

The amnesty fraud – Thomas Sowell We are, after all, talking about a major and irreversible change in the American population, the American culture, and the American political balance. Why is there no time to talk about it?... The word (amnesty) is from the same root as "amnesia." It means you forget or overlook some crime, as if it never happened. … Imprisoning known and apprehended lawbreakers for the crime of illegally entering this country, in addition to whatever other punishment they receive for other laws that they have broken -- and then sending them back where they came from after their sentences have been served -- would be something that would not be lost on others who are here illegally or who are thinking of coming here illegally. … Incidentally, remember that 700-mile fence that Congress authorized last year? Only two miles have been built. That should tell us something about how seriously they are going to enforce other border security provisions in the current bill. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/05/22/the_amnesty_fraud

The amnesty fraud part 2 What about illegal immigrants working outside of agriculture? They are a great bargain for their employers, because they are usually hard-working people who accept low pay and don't cause any trouble on the job. But they are no bargain for the taxpayers who cover their medical bills, the education of their children and the costs of imprisoning those who commit a disproportionate share of crime. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/05/23/the_amnesty_fraud_part_ii

The amnesty fraud part 3 Employers are to be punished for not detecting and excluding illegal immigrants, when the government itself is derelict in doing so. .. This is perfectly consistent for a bill that seeks above all to solve politicians' problems, not the country's. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/05/24/the_amnesty_fraud_part_iii

George W Bush is GOP’s Bill Clinton – Pastor Chuck Baldwin Even those who were willing to forgive Bush for taking us to war with Iraq have no patience or mercy for his dogged determination to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and to merge America into a regional commercial entity with Mexico and Canada. …President Bush has just signed a Presidential Directive that would give the President dictatorial powers should he decide to declare a "national emergency." …America desperately needs a strong Independent party that respects America's working men and women and submits to constitutional government. Perhaps the demise of the GOP will create a void that such a party can fill in 2008--providing that Bush has not become der Führer by then. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin372.htm

Creating effective incentives – Walter Williams Hanson says that we should beforehand tell the leaders of Middle East countries that if there's an attack on the United States, we will hold them responsible if they're proven to have aided or sheltered the terrorists. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2007/05/23/creating_effective_incentives

The many myths of ethanol – John Stossel http://www.townhall.com/columnists/JohnStossel/2007/05/23/the_many_myths_of_ethanol

The anger of the left – Thomas Sowell If it is hard to find a principle behind what angers the left, it is not equally hard to find an attitude. Their greatest anger seems to be directed at people and things that thwart or undermine the social vision of the left, the political melodrama starring the left as saviors of the poor, the environment, and other busybody tasks that they have taken on. It seems to be the threat to their egos that they hate. And nothing is more of a threat to their desire to run other people's lives than the free market and its defenders. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/05/15/the_anger_of_the_left

Campaign finance reform disqualifies John McCain – Dennis Prager By prohibiting a billionaire from giving more than $2,000 to anyone else's campaign but his own, campaign finance reform has ensured that with few exceptions, only the super rich will run for office in races that demand great expenditures of money. … I understand why liberals support it -- by limiting access to the political process, incumbents and, most significantly, the media are empowered. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/05/22/campaign_finance_reform_disqualifies_john_mccain

The price is too high for imported food – Phyllis Schlafly So the United States recently discovered that China has been intentionally mixing an industrial chemical called melamine into pet food and animal feed imported by U.S. companies and sold here under more than 100 brand names. Melamine, which is both a contaminant and byproduct of several pesticides, is used to make plastic kitchenware, glues, countertops, fabrics, fertilizers and flame retardants. … As this scandal unfolds, we also learn that the Chinese have been putting cyanuric acid, a chemical related to melamine that is used in chlorination during pool cleaning, into wheat gluten products sold to the United States. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=the_price_is_too_high_for_imported_food&ns=PhyllisSchlafly&dt=05/15/2007&page=1

Ron Paul Said It – Lew Rockwell Plenty of reasonable people can disagree about foreign policy. What's really strange is when one reasonable position is completely and forcibly excluded from the public debate

But who was right – Rudy or Ron? – Patrick Buchanan Ron Paul is no TV debater. But up on that stage in Columbia, he was speaking intolerable truths. Understandably, Republicans do not want him back, telling the country how the party blundered into this misbegotten war. By all means, throw out of the debate the only man who was right from the beginning on Iraq. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/PatrickJBuchanan/2007/05/18/but_who_was_right--_rudy_or_ron

Prosecutor wants home-school parents jailed "The philosophy that the government knows best how to raise children is really becoming a worldwide phenomenon," Farris said. "I think Germany represents the edge of the night that's coming." http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55778

Falwell gone – Evangelical movement alive and well – Star Parker If a revolution is waiting to happen, it is among black voters. And it is in the direction of conservatism. More and more blacks are getting it that the root of the problems in their communities flow from values -- family breakdown, promiscuity, drugs, crime and education. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2007/05/21/falwell_gone,_evangelical_movement_alive_and_well

Tolerating trafficking – Fred Thompson According to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people are sold across national borders annually. More are enslaved within nations. Most are women; about half are children, and the majority are sexually abused. That's why accusations made by former U.S. ambassador John Miller are so disturbing. Miller accuses the United Nations of promoting human trafficking by failing to punish U.N. officials and peacekeepers who have engaged in the trade.  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/FredThompson/2007/05/21/tolerating_trafficking

The myth of Cuban health care – Rich Lowry Ordinary Cubans experience the wasteland of the real system. Even aspirin and Pepto-Bismol can be rare and there's a black market for them. According to a report in the Canadian newspaper the National Post: "Hospitals are falling apart, surgeons lack basic supplies and must reuse latex gloves. Patients must buy their sutures on the black market and provide bed sheets and food for extended hospital stays." http://www.townhall.com/columnists/RichLowry/2007/05/21/michael_moores_sicko_propoganda
