Naturally, the EPA regulations would have to be reviewed and voided by Congress as well. With a friendly Executive, I believe this can happen. Then again bad press could hurt the environmentalists. They have never owned up to their share of the responsibility for the flooding of New Orleans. All of what they did years prior to Katrina was able to slide under the radar. Some good ole Congressional hearings may be in order, but not under this administration.

It would give the surrounding states the legal basis to invade Israel for its refusal to obey the UN settlement. Considering the US intervention in Libya, such an action under Obama, could conceively take place again. The Obama regime could bring pressure to bear on Israel or cut it off from any aid until it complies, which would leave it a vulnerable target for its neighbors. Make no mistake about it, peace will come in this region when the Palestinians get their wish, and Israel exists no more. For Obama, the problem of US-Muslim relations, would be solved. Don't think for a minute that there are persons within the US government that see this outcome as acceptable.

With what is being taught in public schools and colleges, why should the Republicans do anything for the Leftist teachers and professors except to demand that there is a balance of ideologies in any school receiving federal money. The Republicans will promote competition by way of the charter schools. Since each student is worth a certain amount of money, that money, instead of going to public schools, will go to the charter school. Obama showed his ideological cowardice when he did not support the Washington DC charter schools, though they were doing an excellent job for minority students. Your simple solution for fixing the schools is discipline. Without it the teachers can't teach. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

They MUST NEVER attack the Philosopher King directly, only his policies. They must investigation the Obama administration, including its Czars. It needs to let the people know about the secret tax provisions within ObamaCare, such as the 3.8% federal tax on the sale price of housing and real estate. They must put the corruption of this administration on display so people will not feel badly for the Philosopher King and give him a second chance. Give him a second chance and he will destroy this country.. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Her focus is the correct one. But the key is the state legislature in Sacramento. So many radical special interests influence that body. Whitman will have to take on the unions, the environmentalists. She is going to have a tough job of it, but Brown is definitely not the answer. TO ALL TEA PARTY PEOPLE & OTHERS THAT WILL WANT TO JOIN - ------OBAMACARE - hidden provision. Remember what Pelosi said about the bill: "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy." NEW SALES TAX: If you want to sell your home or real estate, the federal government demands 3.8% of the total sale. It is not to take effect for a few years as I understand it. Check it out for yourself! All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Get the people mad at the evil rich, though they create the jobs of the middle and lower classes. Its also the old idea of divide and conquer. Just look at how unified we are under this "post racial" president. Additionally, Mr. O. wants more money for his other schemes. He doesn't care if the poor get hurt. Their support is just a tool of power for His Majesty. Unless the Bush tax cuts, a reduction in the Corporate Tax Rate, a total review of ObamaCare, repealing harmful provisions, this nation is in trouble because the Philosopher King wants, needs, yearns for a crisis. You know that transactions in gold over $600 will need to be reported. Here's something new. If you want to sell your home, the federal government demands 3.8% of the total sale as a sales tax. BOTH OF THESE PROVISIONS WERE IN OBAMACARE. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Where is NOW in condemning the worst aspects of Sharia where women are viewed as truly subject to their husbands? That would be something worth fighting for. No complaints? I didn't think so.

Reading the Old Testament, God wasn't the nicest God at that time, not saying his people didn't deserve it. Under Christianity, his people, once again, did many nasty things to unbelievers, heretics and the Jews. What I am trying to say is that religion is not perfect as long as it involves fallible people. But, hanging gays, stoning adulerors, cutting of hands, beheading apostates, lashing offenders for violations of Sharia is going too far. How does this honor Allah? How can supposedly devout Muslims cheer the executioner on. This is why, we in the US must continue to insist on separation of church and state. We need a constitutional amendment to the effect that while there is freedom to practice religion, no one will be subject to any religious laws that harm mentally or physically their person or family without due process of the federal law. That should cover honor killing, sharia, male dominance of women. We may need to pass that Equal rights amendment that did not make it as the 27th amendment with some minor changes.

It is getting to look too similar to Vietnam. If we want to get out, wee, first, crush the Taliban in Afghanistan, then bomb the 150 or so terrorist training camps in Pakistan. They will be informed as it is happening because Pakistan, in the past, has warned al-Qaeda of impending attacks. Then, we declare victory. We invite Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Russia to a conference to help Afghanistan stabilize by dividing it into federalized provinces with Kabul at the center with reduced power. The power, as it has always been, will be in the hands of the chieftains. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Al-Qaeda, as they were defeated in Iraq, shifted their focus to Pakistan and joined with the Taliban. Suicide bombers were not something the Taliban were doing after they were initially defeated. Al-Qaeda taught them that. So we face a more motivated and radicalized foe. Then again there is the corrupt mayor of Kabul, Karzai, is doing us no good. If we overthrow him, it will be like Diem in Vietnam or General Powell telling Bush, you topple the Iraqi government, you own it.

We did that. We made the mistake of not pursuing the bastards into Pakistan. I don't think at that time, the Pakistanis would have objected, considering our feelings after 9/11.

India, which is a rising power itself, could be the key for US withdrawal from this region. We gain nothing by staying in Afghanistan, particularly if the President has already announced our intention to leave next year. Great strategy. Pakistan fears India and India has no qualms about taking it to the Pakistanis should trouble break out between them. The problem is the Pakistani nukes. They can not be allowed to fall into the hands of radical Islamic fantatics.

No gimmicks, no flashy effects, just plain straight talk. Mr. Walsh, that a way to call Bean out. More Republicans need to do that. Just like the Linda McMahon and Dick Blumenthal debate. Blumenthal was stumped over the question, how to create a job. Mr. Walsh, you'd have my vote! Bean, if reelected, would continue to support the bureaucratic takeover of health care decisions. How would you like a bureaucrat to tell you to abort your baby or that your grandfather was doing nothing useful and needed to be euthanized?
