George Will: Leviathan on the loose
And some people wonder why many want to keep their guns. With this kind of government action against otherwise law abiding citizens, it's no wonder people worry about the slippery slope to tyranny.
Is there anything more tyrannical than these actions of government officials and prosecutors?

Thoughts of the Day
There are too many people who get involved in politics based on a single issue. See the big picture people.
There are too many career politicians. The founding fathers did not intend for citizens to spend their lives in office. Get a real job.
Term limits should be imposed by voters, not laws.
For some there is only black and white, no gray. Life is mostly gray.
I believe there should be a test to pass before voting in elections. There are too many voters who know not what they vote for, nor why.
To fix all that ails our education system we all need to put the students first. Parents especially.
Throwing more money at education is certainly not the answer. Catholic schools perform better across the board than public schools with much less money and lower teacher salaries. We need to learn from that.
We put too much emphasis on halls of fame. There are many famous people not in any hall of fame, and for many reasons.
Look around and try to learn from the mistakes of others. You know there are a lot of examples to learn from out there.
I wish reporters and commentators would ask politicians the next question. They are content to let politicians talk without answering questions, and accept that.
In physics there is a law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In life this mean actions have consequences. I wish people who act would take responsibility for the consequences of those actions.
Suing Warner Brothers over the Colorado theatre shootings is misguided.
Judges who allow lawsuits to go forward when they are obviously unwarranted, do no favors to society. Frivolous lawsuits deserve to be thrown out.
President Obama says AK-47's should not be in the hands of criminals. Do you think anyone disagrees with that? Not even the NRA disputes that position. The president is setting up straw man arguments to which there is no disagreement.

McConnell: as Taxmageddon approaches, Democrats are out of ideas
McConnell: as Taxmageddon approaches, Democrats are out of ideas
Senator Harry Reid may very well be the most worthless majority leader ever. When President Obama proposes something many people dsiagree with, Reid will not permit a vote on the subject on the Senate floor, because he knows even the democrats don't support what the president says he wants.
The real problem is that Reid is not a leader and would rather talk about Olympic uniforms made in China than the $16 Trillion debt we face.

Breakdown of the Family Unit
Two Classes Divided by "I Do"
This article describes why it is better to get through school, get married, then have children, in that order. A telling quote from this article is:
But striking changes in family structure have also broadened income gaps and posed new barriers to upward mobility. College-educated Americans like the Faulkners are increasingly likely to marry one another, compounding their growing advantages in pay. Less-educated women like Ms. Schairer, who left college without finishing her degree, are growing less likely to marry at all, raising children on pinched paychecks that come in ones, not twos.

Harsanyi: Ernst & Young study: Tax hikes on wealthy are a job killer
Harsanyi: Ernst & Young study: Tax hikes on wealthy are a job killer
What are the chances this report gets any play in the media other than on talk radio, Fox News and Fox Business? Please share this with your friends and let them know that tax rates and tax revenue do not go up and down together. Also let them know that choices have consequences.
President Obama and democrats want to raise taxes in the interest of fairness, with total disregard to the consequences of doing so.

Bill O'Reilly: The ghost of Ronald Reagan
Bill O'Reilly: The ghost of Ronald Reagan
I sincerely wish more Americans knew the difference between tax rates and tax revenue. The two do not necessarily move in the same direction. Andrew Mellon proved this in the 1920's and it was also demonstrated by Presidents Kennedy, Reagan and Bush 43.
Wealthy people, who President Obama wants to tax at a higher rate, will change their behaviors, and move money to tax exempt holdings, thereby reducing the income that the IRS collects. They will put their money into investments that are taxed at a lower rate, or not at all. And that hurts the eeconomy as a whole. We need to induce them to invest in business and high earning opportunities that benefit the economy and increas tax revenues.

Hostage Holding
http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/07/16/patty-murray-well-let-the-bush-tax-cuts-expire-if-republicans-wont-deal/
Remember when it was so terrible for Republicans to hold America hostage over the debt ceiling debate? Why then it is okay for democrats to hold America hostage over tax increases?

So if Obama can blame George W. Bush for all things that are wrong today, then it makes perfect sense he can blame Mitt Romney for things may or may not have occured at Bain after 1999. Fact checkers be damned.
