Members of Congress and other so-called political gurus are to be congratulated. Once again, by using spark-igniting words like "ultra-liberal" and "extreme conservatism," they have managed to move the public spotlight off themselves, off their own inability to lead the nation, and onto an issue for which they are wholly and personally responsible.

Georgia’s current struggle to improve the quality of the state’s educational system is nothing new. Back in the 1960s the state’s political leadership realized that increasing the educational levels of the citizenry would be essential if Georgia were to prosper in the modern world. The number of public colleges was expanded so that most of the populace would have at least a two-year college within commuting distance. [Full story »]

Sharron Angle's recent U.S. Senate primary victory in Nevada was the latest in a string of high-profile tea party movement victories. The insurgency also helped Nikki Haley finish first in South Carolina's GOP gubernatorial primary.

Tea party voters helped Rand Paul defeat an establishment GOP Senate candidate in Kentucky last month, drove Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter out of GOP primary races and sank the re-election bid of Utah Republican Sen. Robert Bennett. [Full story »]

Tuesday's ruling by a federal judge in New Orleans against President Obama's six-month moratorium on deep-water oil-drilling in the Gulf of Mexico was a victory for common sense and, if upheld, would preclude the disastrous economic fallout for our neighbors in the Gulf region that the moratorium would bring.

Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within [Full story »]

Is America truly exceptional anymore?

Is it automatic that it will be?

The notion of American exceptionalism -- the sense that America is unique and special in the family of nations -- has been with us since at least Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville's glowing scouting report on this still-young nation. Most Americans have come to believe in it, especially since the World Wars of the last century and America's post-war rise, first to one of two world superpowers, and, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world's only remaining one.

At this point, a PR campaign from BP is completely pointless.

We know the oil spill is still there, we know that wildlife is still suffering, and we know that BP regrets the situation. We don't need anyone to present this information in a positive way, and we especially don't need anyone to hide the truth of injured wildlife images on the Gulf shore. We're not blind.
