Like Allahpundit said, "A star is being born before our eyes here. And one with national reach, too: Not only is she bound to figure in the GOP’s plans for a State of the Union rebuttal sooner rather than later, but as governor of a key primary state, she’ll be wooed by every major player on the Republican landscape. Those endorsements from Romney and Palin were no accident, my friends."
Yup.

Hey Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone
Jun. 23rd, 2010 08:43 pmlazypadawan.livejournal.comA friend of mine forwarded to me a link to this horror story about Big Education's quest to stamp out The Best Friend and further micromanage every aspect of your child's life:

As a lifelong introvert and former victim of bullying, I am appalled these busybody buttinsky do-gooders are so anxious to protect children from pain, they're shielding them from the joy and happiness that can come from finding a bond with a kindred spirit. These kids will make today's hookup culture among young people look like the Victorian Era. How are they supposed to maintain a marriage or raise a child when they're taught their whole lives that superficial likes is better than love?
If there's a problem with bullying or harassment, cross that bridge when you get to it. If a child has a hard time making friends, fine, bring in the parents and discuss it...maybe the kid is an Aspie or needs counseling or an activity where he feels more like socializing. Short of that, kids have to learn the good, bad, and ugly of social life. Leave them the eff alone.

Why Universal Healthcare Bothers Me...
Jun. 23rd, 2010 09:45 pmsweeneytodd.livejournal.comMy brother and I were just having a discussion...
So, the government gives free healthcare to anyone and everyone. Doesn't it bother you that the governments money is going to end up going to some meth addict on the verge of death? I mean, seriously. Even with the state provided healthcare today, I just feel that you should at least have a drug test. If you're killing yourself with drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes why should the government hold your hand through it all?

Jon Voight's open letter to Obama
Jun. 23rd, 2010 10:53 pmshezan.livejournal.comAn open letter to President Obama
By Jon Voight
June 22, 2010
The Washington Times
President Obama:
You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone's enemy - and it has resonated throughout the world.
You are putting Israel in harm's way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world.
You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated.
You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens.
Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.
With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel,
Jon Voight
