President Obama is visiting Hiroshima, Japan just weeks shy of the 71st anniversary of the U.S. dropping of the atomic bomb. He has no plans, however, to mark the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.
In much the same way that a drug dealer exerts de facto control over his addicted customers, the federal government exerts de facto control over the school your child attends.
With the right connections – particularly liberal connections – failure carries exactly no consequence.
Uncle Fed lives upstairs. He has a magical computer that lets him create money out of thin air.
Inevitably this election season the call will come to abolish the Electoral College. It was a bad idea four years ago. It will be a bad idea four years hence.
Students at Stanford University voted six to one against required courses in Western civilization. Yet the irony of casting ballots in a democratic process being a product of Western civilization is completely lost on them.
The Department of Veterans is nothing less than a microcosm of the entire federal government – a top-down Leviathan that is callously and willfully unaccountable to those it is charged with serving and to the taxpayers that pay for it.
Republican leaders have assumed that the middle class vote is firmly in the bag and that listening to some carping and bitching from that quarter is just par for the course. No big deal.
It is dangerously naive to think that the horrors experienced by France and Belgium in the past four months will remain confined to Europe.

At $800 billion the Stimulus stands as the largest single government spending bill in world history. So what happened to the money?
Rick Perry might have been able to win the GOP nomination this time and he might have made a good president. But thanks to the far-left Travis County district attorney’s office, we’ll never know.
Assuming that Justice Antonin Scalia isn’t replaced until after the election, the next president could conceivably appoint as many as four Supreme Court justices.
When you examine Tuesday’s results from the New Hampshire primary, it becomes immediately apparent that we have reached some sort of crossroads on the 240 year-long American political journey.
Pierre de Wet, the founder and guiding light of the Kiepersol galaxy of enterprises, died suddenly last week and left an army of people who loved him gasping for breath.
The liberal eco-doomsdayers have been wrong too often and have cost us all too much money. It’s past time to shout them down.
