From Fox News:
A group of corporate and labor leaders advising President Obama is calling for sweeping and urgent changes in government policies, from liberalized immigration and less restrictive regulations to a more business friendly tax system and greater spending on infrastructure.
Of course, the goal of this is to provide some type of stimulus to our faltering economy.

Less restrictive regulations?  Definitely, but diametrically opposed to Barry's desire for government to control all.  After all, the government is vastly smarter than we are - at least in Barry's world.

More business friendly tax system?  Of course, but contrary to Barry's general philosophy of soak the rich, soak those bad corporations, and bring down Wall Street.

Greater spending on infrastructure?  Sure.  We need it, but can we afford it?

But how does liberalized immigration help mitigate the problem of one million unemployed construction workers?

In Brad Thor's new book, "Full Black," he repeats an observation of undetermined parentage: "A democracy can exist only until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury."

Sadly, we seem to be travellers on that path.

News . . .

. . . flash

Al-Qaeda joins those questioning legality of U.S. killing of citizen Anwar al-Awlaki


Question away.  In the meantime, keep looking up.
Governor Moonbeam . . .

. . . strikes again.
California Governor Jerry Brown on Saturday signed a bill giving illegal immigrant college students access to state-funded financial aid, the second half of two-part legislation known as the "Dream Act."
The oft-used "we're a nation of immigrants" argument is irrelevant here.

 Yes, we're a nation of immigrants.  I am not a Native American.  However, my ancestors - all of them, as I can best determine - entered this country legally.

The word "illegal" has a meaning.  It means we should be compassionate.  It does NOT mean that we should offer up the keys to the homestead to everyone who sneaks in the back door.

And we wonder why we're going broke?

Another one . . .

. . . bites the dust.

Anwar al-Awlaki was (apparently) reduced to pig food this morning.

Of course, he's been "killed" before, according to the Yemeni news.

I suspect that this time it's real.

Poke the bear at your own risk.

There are surveys . . .

. . . then, there are things like this:

Interesting way to form a question, don't you think?
YOU NEED NOT HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN OR EXPERIENCED THE ACTIONS. During your last 30 workdays at your duty location what do you estimate the chance that the action below COULD have happened?

Divine right . . .

. . . of presidents?

It appears that is what King Barry wants.
"As I mentioned when I was at La Raza a few weeks back, I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own," Obama told a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "There are times where -- until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again -- I'd like to work my way around Congress."
Unfortunately, your Organizership, that is essentially the same reason we rid ourselves of Mad King Georgie.  However, your revolution will be that of the pen, not that of the sword.

You said you would rather be a good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president.  Neither is likely.

To the nineteen:

You learned ten years ago this day that the paradise you sought was a lie cut from whole cloth. It was not Jibraaiyl that welcomed you to the gates, but a humble boatman named Charon waiting to ferry you across the river Styx. His master had no virgins waiting for you, no tables set with milk and honey, no robes of silk or palaces of gold. The Prophet has abandoned and damned you. You are now in the domain of Maalik, guardian of hellfire, where you will remain forever. I wish you no peace.
