Government Power Expanding



[From article]
The expansion of the federal regulatory sweep via the Clean Water Act would have toxic consequences across the board. America would be less America and more Washington.

Mass AG Wants Court Decision Before Citizen Referendum


[From article]
Assistant Attorney General Peter Sacks, representing Coakley before the SJC yesterday, argued casino companies responding to the 2011 Expanded Gaming Act spent millions applying for licenses and have an “implied contract” with the state to receive a decision from the Gaming Commission. Sacks said the proposed repeal ballot question, backed by 70,000 signatures, would stop the commission cold and not allow for those decisions to be made.

So here is one more example of the government asserting its rights over the rights of the people. One more disconnect between government and taxpayers who fund it, and who it is supposed to serve.

Democratic Party Historically Racist, Still Is

[From article]
" What caused the change in the attitude of blacks towards the two political parties was not any real perception of Goldwater as a bigot, which he emphatically was not, but rather upon the perceived benefit to blacks of socialism and of statist intervention in the private affairs of Americans.
Socialism promises those who are at the bottom of society greater affluence by the redistribution of wealth. Historically, that noxious doctrine has had very little appeal in America because groups have entered America destitute and, through dint of hard work, have risen to the heights of society within a generation or two. Irish, Italians, Jews, Japanese, Greeks, and other immigrants have proven the validity of this proposition over and over again.
As Thomas Sowell has so persuasively demonstrated, black America not only could, but did rise fast in American society once legal restraints on race -- the sort that men like Coolidge and Goldwater have always opposed -- were lifted. As one small but telling example, Sowell notes that in the segregated school system of Washington, D.C. in 1899, blacks scored better than whites on standardized tests."

Obama Exposed


A paragraph of this essay was posted on The New Republic and taken as a whole by the liberal gliterati. Fortunately one commenter posted a link to the entire essay.
