Land-Use Reform and Risk
 Big Brother 
Paul M. Weyrich
Phil Truluck is today Executive Vice President of the Heritage Foundation. He is the right-hand man of Edwin J. (Ed) Feulner, Jr. In 1973 he worked under my supervision. Then as now he is one of the most able and tireless laborers for the cause I ever have known. That year he worked day and night on the liberal’s pet cause of that era - namely, land use. Had the land use bill passed the Federal Government would have been able, in effect, to do away with private property.

The New Communism
GreeenIsm
Cliff Kincaid
Americans are searching for leadership in this election year and they have found it. Unfortunately, he is not an American politician. Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, who survived the communist system and now leads a country that emerged from the dissolution of the Soviet empire, is warning of a new form of communism threatening human freedom and progress.

A Story of Oil and a “Do Nothing” Congress
Congress
Tom Segel
Harlingen, Texas, June 9, 2008: Back in 1972 when we had the first Arab Oil Embargo. Gasoline was 36 cents a gallon and the United States was importing almost one third of its oil from abroad. We had gas rationing, long lines at the pumps and a public that demanded governmental action. Congress did nothing to solve the problem.

“Media Reform” Activists Cheer Obama
Progressivism
Cliff Kincaid
Minneapolis: Dropping any pretense of objectivity and non-partisanship, the “National Conference for Media Reform” on Saturday night turned into a Barack Obama-for-President rally, as left-wing media figure Arianna Huffington denounced Senator and presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain as a “Trojan horse for the right” who had “sold his soul” to become president.

‘Why Does the Senate NOT Want Energy Solutions?’
Energy
Doug Hagin
Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee summoned top executives to Capitol Hill, to explain why gas prices are so darned high, and most importantly in their minds, to make themselves seem important, righteously indignant, and to convince Americans that they are looking out for us.

NH Middle School Celebrating ‘Open Tent’ Day—Kids Dress Like Arabs
EdukShun
Warner Todd Huston
Only in the west can one see a school that hosts a day when school children are encouraged to dress like, act like, and “learn about” those trying to kill them and all in a day that the country is in the midst of war. And only in the west would the media help celebrate such an outrageous example of support for what, in truth, are our enemies.

Mexico is Soon to be a Bigger Problem
Energy
Alan Caruba
As if the constant flow of illegal aliens and drugs from Mexico were not already a huge problem for the United States, it is about to get worse. When Business Week took notice of Mexico’s dwindling oil reserves and failed national oil company, Pemex, in its May 5th edition, it signaled a problem whose significance is as great as the one involving an invading population.

‘As Global Cooling Moves Forward Does Anybody Care?’
Global Cooling
Malcolm Hedges
A brief general review would say the answer is no. Some several observers of such things as the Suns heating system and certain perhaps unrelated Earth system cycles have suggested we are in the process of a general trend toward “Global Cooling” for some 5 to 20+ years.

Then They Asked Me…’What Would You Do Bigmouth?’
GreeenIsm
Tom Segel
Harlingen, Texas, May 21, 2008: Last week I took every American voter to task, saying that we all were to blame for our current high gasoline prices at the pumps and our national energy mess. My claim was we voted into office Republicans who had a chance to correct many of these problems. They squandered their opportunity with a multitude of scandals, misconduct, pork barrel spending and abandonment of conservative principles. Those who voted Democrats into office were on an emotional and “feel good” voting spree that pandered to the far left, environmental extremists, animal rights activists and socialists determined to beat America back into the Stone Age. The end result of these actions has been an explosion of oil and gas prices that are now reaching the point where major damage is being inflicted on all citizenry.

Tenn. Declares Only Dumbest Kids Wanted for State Jobs
EdukShun
Warner Todd Huston
It’s true. The State of Tennessee has officially declared that from this point forward it will accept only less educated student applicants for state, county and city jobs in the Volunteer State. Why would the kindly folks in Nashville make such a stupid rule? Well, it’s all about control, you see. The state controls the less educated kids and they don’t control the ones that show higher academic aptitude. It really is just that simple.
