Granddaughters and Rockets

"If someone was sending rockets on my house where my daughters were sleeping at night, I would do everything to stop it, and I would expect the Israelis to do the same thing."   -  Barack Obama.    from Atlantic Monthly 

If people in Mexico started firing rockets towards San Diego, what would the U.S. do?

How About Kids Accounts?

By -
posted by Bob Clasen Mr. President, Let's Share the Wealth By DAVID BROOKS Published: February 8, 2005 President Bush said he was open to other people's ideas on how to fix Social Security, so I hope he'll listen to mine. My idea starts with a blunt political observation. Personal accounts - as they are currently envisioned - are going to be hard to pass. Every important Democrat opposes them. Jim McCrery, the Republican who is chairman of the House Social Security subcommittee, says the president's plan will have to fundamentally change if it is to have a chance. So my idea is this: If the president's current version of personal accounts stalls, he should consider another version - one that is more likely to win broad support, and that achieves all the goals of an "ownership society." The personal accounts I'm thinking of would be inspired by a proposal called KidSave, which was floating around in the late 1990's. KidSave wa...

Right Wing Media

The Right Wing Media is taking over, including Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews, those well known right wing nuts?  Ha Ha,  very funny.   I don't think so.  The Media is fighting over which liberal candidate it prefers.  And journalists are like sharks, when they sense blood in the water, they go into a frenzy and may injure their "friends" like Obama.   The only question this election is which Democrat will be nominated as the Republicans seem quite dead in the water this year, floating in a pool of blood and chum, driving the potential Democratic Presidents and their media adorers into a frenzy.   Or perhaps they are more like zombies, the Presidential Election of the Living Dead.  Democrats will be in charge, that is my prediction. The only question is which one?  Obama has a good chance, despite his lack of experience, as he is the best media candidate. Hillary is so harsh and unlikable.   What will Obama do when he is in charge?  Will Oprah be Vice President?   Ti...

Democrat Party: "Dependency-Bureaucracy Complex"

By -
by George Will ____________________________ If Sept. 11 had never happened -- if debate about domestic policy had not been drowned out by the roar of war -- the potential domestic ramifications of this election would give it unusual nation-shaping power. To understand why is to understand some of the Democratic rage about the specter of a second term for George W. Bush. He has a multifaceted agenda for weakening crucial components of the Democratic Party, factions that depend on cosseting by the federal government. Consider trial lawyers and organized labor. John Kerry's selection of John Edwards as running mate was a blunder, and not just because Kerry probably will lose Edwards's North Carolina. The Edwards selection ratifies a provocative fact: trial lawyers have become the Democrats' most important faction. This has energized small-business owners, the self-employed, doctors and others who worry that they live one lawsuit away from ruin. Such people, now arous...
