Who’s better than Sarah Palin? Lots and lots of people…
Sarah Palin in 2012? Let's hope not.
What do Ron Paul, Haley Barbour, Bobby Jindal, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney all have in common? They are all Republicans who will likely run or consider running for President, and they are all more intelligent and experienced than a certain former Alaskan Governor.
To many people in the Republican Party, it has almost become blasphemous to criticize Sarah Palin. Some consider this darling of the Tea Party movement to be one of the leading contenders for the Presidential nomination in 2012. If you’re one of these people, please get a reality check. Nominating Sarah Palin is the best way to guarantee a second term for Barack Obama. » read more

Arizona allows individuals to carry concealed weapons without a permit
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signs concealed weapon bill into law.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a bill into law which allows adults to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. It’s nice to see that some places still take the 2nd Amendment seriously.
This bill has its detractors, but they clearly aren’t thinking straight. They might be worried about honest citizens carrying guns, but I’m not. What worries me are criminals who carry weapons for the sole purpose of committing crimes. You can pass a law banning people from having guns or carrying them without a permit, but in the end, the only ones who will follow it are honest, responsible citizens. Criminals will continue to carry guns, since someone who regularly assaults or robs people probably won’t care much about breaking another law. » read more

Mayor of Champaign Illinois questions Obama’s citizenship
The Mayor of Champaign Illinois is the latest person to question Barack Obama’s citizenship. I don’t know about you, but I tend to cringe when I hear this brought up. I compare birthers who believe Barack Obama was born in a foreign country, to truthers who are convinced that the 9/11 attacks were engineered by the United States government. Both groups are operating on the fringe of reality, and neither group is playing with a full deck.
You could argue, and I would agree, that Barack Obama could end all this speculation by simply presenting an official copy of his birth certificate. That would end the debate immediately. Some would argue that his reluctance to make the birth certificate available is evidence of his foreign birth, while I feel that it is evidence of his extreme arrogance. » read more
