The Weekly Enlightenment

For the last 6 years, the left has been screaming about Afghanistan being the "right" war. Now Obama risks losing their support if he sends in more troops. Why? If that is the right fight, shouldn't they be championing it? Apparently not. The only conclusion is that they do not like to see military power used for American interests.

Health reform opponents always acknowledge problems with the current system, but do supporters ever acknowledge benefits? Never! I never hear Obama saying how our system provides for 250 million+ people. Nor do we hear about the great technology and innovative drugs coming out of the U.S. Everything is a crisis that must be solved before anyone can read the proposals.

MUST READ
* One more reason to want to reduce the size and power of government. The Democrats intimidation tactics are in full force.
* The White House is actively pushing for artists to promote partisan political objectives. Just another reason to promote less government.
* I don't like giving too much weight to the opinion of generals just because there are usually a wide range of views about what to do and how to do it. Plus the president is commander-in-chief. However, Obama specifically stated he was going to listen to the generals more than Bush did, but now he appears to be waffling on it.
* Top Obama advisor says no to selling health insurance across state lines. Something that everyone knows would increase competition, which is supposedly one of the administration's top goals.

Tort Reform
* Will Missouri's successful junk lawsuit reform work applied nationally? I don't know, but I do know this is exactly the reason why federalism is so important. Different states can take different approaches. A state in trouble can learn things from another state and so on. If people don't like one state's policies, they can more easily throw out their government or simply move out of the state.

What Radicalism
* Notice any similarities?
* The administration continues to use scare tactics. This time bringing out Michelle Obama.
* Americans are like unruly teenagers? You decide. It wouldn't surprise me, since I think nearly everyone in Washington thinks the American people need someone to make every decision for them.
* A lot more about ACORN. Now we have a coverup of embezzlement by the founder's brother. More hope and change.
* I've mentioned it before, but environmentalists main target seems to be humans. This time letting much California farmland die to protect the delta smelt.
