Keep the Two-Thirds Rules
There is an attempt now to have the voters decide whether to lower the budget passage requirement to 55 percent. Whether you are in favor of the two-thirds rule depends on whether you believe that an increase in taxes and spending is economic nutrition or whether it is economic poison.

Government Belongs to Us
In October 2007, a column was written about the California Highway Patrol's 11-99 Foundation. When a person donated a minimum of $5,000, he or she was given a license plate frame and a membership card that (coincidentally) could be placed next to that person's driver's license.

Why Obama
We are a nation that is not forged by a shared ethnic background to hold us together but by a shared ideal that benefits those who arrived over two hundred years ago and those who found this haven only yesterday.

Panic-Stricken Mother Facing Charges - Safe Haven Laws
Panic-stricken and afraid, a young woman, aged 22, thinking she read online that it is legal to leave a baby anonymously at a church as a "safe haven," had left her child. No one knew but her ex-boyfriend that she was pregnant. She had carried the baby girl one-third of a mile to the local Presbyterian Church, and left her near the entrance in hopes of giving her daughter a better life.

Instead of worrying about slavery which ended 140 years ago, the Los Angeles city council should worry about the people in the inner city who are enslaved in their own homes with bars on the windows and doors. They are enslaved because they are frightened about the shootings taking place in the streets outside each and every day and each and every night....

The key is to seize the day. The president’s pathetically weak warning that we are facing a long, hot summer and that gas prices might rise even more sounds helpless and removed.

Go to the Source for the Facts About the Border Fence
For reasons I’ll never understand, some of my fellow conservative talk-show hosts have turned to that bible of liberalism – The Washington Post – to get the “facts” about the U.S.-Mexico border fence just authorized by Congress. If they wanted to get the real story -- and not the misleading one they read in the October 6 edition of the Post -- they could easily have done what I did and called Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and the man who wrote the bill mandating the building of the 700-mile border fence....
