Immigration Sellout, Not Reform
The Kennedy-Kyl (K-K) Amnesty bill should be titled An Act to Destroy the Republican Party because it pits President Bush against the majority of the Party that elected him.

Deep-Six The Law Of The Sea
Borrowing the famous words of General Douglas MacArthur that “old soldiers never die, they just fade away,” we can now see that old treaties never die, they can be resurrected years or even decades after taking what we thought was a knockout punch.

Prepare for the Big Issue in 2008

U.S. financial generosity to our allies after World War II included giving them special trade advantages to help them speed up their post-war recovery.

Education Secretary Margaret Spellings says that the Federal Government needs some accountability for the billions of dollars the taxpayers pour into university education. That’s right, we do; but her plan, to set up a national database to track students, plus a system of testing like No Child Left Behind, is not the solution.

Our federal and state highways and bridges are among America’s great assets; they enable us to drive freely and safely all over our country, and they belong to all of us, paid for by our taxes. But they are expensive assets; they require maintenance, repair, and expansion due to rising population and traffic.

Economists, academicians and financial consultants for years have been preaching that globalism is the wave of the future and that anyone who wants to survive in business must ride its surfboard or drown. All of a sudden, Business Week is having second thoughts.

Did the 2006 election teach Republicans that it is smart to be friends of the middle class? Have Republicans realized that jobs were second only to the unpopular war as the issue of 2006, and will surely be the number-one issue in 2008?

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, To build, or not to build; that is the question. Will the Bush Administration build a fence to secure our southern border, or are we being bamboozled with sound and fury, signifying nothing?

The illegal aliens in this country carried out a massive boycott on May 1 to demonstrate they are so essential that the U.S. economy would shut down without their labor. On the contrary, their boycott exposed the lie expressed by President Bush in Cancun, Mexico that they are “doing work that Americans will not do.”
