Let's make a new rule: All states have to be self-supporting in terms of Federal tax revenue. That means that states like Alaska, who comfort themselves with a "suspicion" of Washington, would no longer get all that extra Federal money. Neither would Wyoming or any of the other red states.
Because the debtor states are the red states. These people who want Washington out of their lives could start by giving back the excess Federal money they get over and above the amount of taxes they pay.
But isn't it all about the purity? The "we are better than you because we pretend not to have sex until marriage or gay sex" thing?
Yeah, right. Give us back our money and you can be as pure as you want. Then you really don't have to worry about Washington interfering with your life.

"The Nation" of Lies
"The Nation," a liberal magazine around since the 1860's, has an article accusing John McCain of covering up the truth about American POWs being left behind in Vietnam.
I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. How could any person believe such tripe? Whatever your opinion may be about John McCain's fitness to lead our nation, he has demonstrated a resolve and loyalty towards his fellow prisoners of war that those yapping writers would never be able to do.
John McCain refused opportunities to leave ahead of others who had been captured before him. That's character. He has a history of standing up for causes he believes in. There is no reasonable person on Earth who could believe that he suddenly would abandon his fellow servicemen in the prisons of Vietnam. And shame on "The Nation" for saying so.

Down With Obama! - A Small Town Pennsylvania Girl Speaks
Barak Obama is not ready to be President of the United States. And the day he gets ready, he is not suitable to be President of the United States.
As a small town Pennsylvania girl growing up next to the Appalachian Trail, I lived, grew up and almost died in small town Pennsylvania. Do not mistake their beliefs as something to do until good jobs appear.
What Barak Obama's comments about "clinging to guns" really means is that he hopes America has changed more than it has. He is hoping that the color of his skin is not going to be a disadvantage in small town Pennsylvania if he can offer economic advantage. He is wrong. Not completely, but still he is wrong.
What Mr. Obama wishes is that these mythical small town Pennsylvanians are ready to abandon their racism, not their guns or religion. The color of a person's skin is going to be a factor in any small town Pennsylvania election. And in any District of Columbia election. Or any election in the United States of America. Race may not be the overwhelming weight it used to be on the scales, but it is still there.
Mr. Obama's comments reveal his attitude towards most of America as Lilliputians needing guidance. For that reason, he should never be President. And he never will be.
Bloggers are correct in saying that entire rituals surround the hunting experience. Besides which, it is fun! You get up early in the morning with your Dad, you pack your lunch, you go into the woods having put on your "kill the human scent" spray. And you wait. You wait for the deer to come out to eat so you can shoot them and bring home enough meat for the winter. Every one of us is here today because almost all of our ancestors did the same thing. They killed their food. It is not a bad thing.

Clinton and Obama - Talking to the Enemy
Clinton accuses Obama of being naive because he is willing to talk to nations like Cuba, North Korea and Iran if he gets elected President. She is wrong. Having a list of countries with problematic behavior and refusing to talk to them about it means conducting communications through the press and third parties. You will always have to have communications. It's just a matter of how.
Look at this Administration. They are finally talking to Iran. They had to. If there was ever a group of people invested in not talking to Iran, it would be this Administration. But essential discussions needed to be had, and you should have thought of that when you decided to invade the country next to Iran. So now you have to talk to them.
