“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the [...]

The following excerpt is from an article titled The Progressives’ Legacy of Bankruptcy by Tiffany Miller. The full article starts out by describing the failed economic policies of progressives, but eventually gets to the foundations of modern liberal thought concerning the role of government.

Apologists, including the President, have tried to make the case that it is we who are being intolerant and inconsistent with our own First Amendment. But there are a few problems with this argument:
1.) We aren’t dealing with just any religion, but one whose beliefs comprise a complete socio-political system that is hostile to our [...]

President Obama finally decided to take a position on the Ground Zero Mosque, and as expected, he sided against America. Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the president strongly approved of building a mosque near ground zero claiming the country’s founding principles demanded it. But I can find [...]

The so-called Livable Communities Act is top-down central planning scheme designed to change where we live and work, and how we travel. Bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency, Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Transportation will oversee this Soviet-style social engineering.
It’s worrisome to witness the growing historical parallels between today’s Democratic Party and [...]

The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan Thursday as the Supreme Court’s 112th justice and fourth woman. Reports have praised her confirmation as one of “selecting a scholar with a reputation for brilliance, a dry sense of humor and a liberal legal bent.” Calling her a brilliant scholar is a bit of stretch to say the least.
She [...]

Shirley Sherrod plans to sue Andrew Breitbart over the excerpted videotape showing Sherrod expressing racist sentiments. The general narrative goes something like this: Sherrod is this innocent, non-racist woman who was unfairly depicted as a bigot by the ‘right-wing attack machine’, and very temporarily lost her job.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocked most of the new Arizona enforcement law from taking effect in what is being described as a victory for opponents (read pro-illegal immigration).
Arizona Gov. Brewer called Bolton’s decision halting the law “a bump in the road,” and her spokesman said they plan to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit [...]
