 Scott Spiegel presents the following articles posted at Scott Spiegel,

A Tale of Two Pauls saying, "Train wreck legislation like ObamaCare is worth repealing, but if Medicare and Medicaid are running out of money, and Social Security is in the red, why shouldn’t we go after every entitlement shibboleth? What principle, applied consistently, would nudge us to nullify ObamaCare but leave Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid shiny and intact?"

Obama: "I Actually Supported the Mosque Before I Opposed It", saying, "Just because those who wish to build the mosque have the legal right to do so does not mean that the majority of New Yorkers and Americans who oppose its construction have no legal recourse in preventing it from being built. Call my suggestions the libertarian approach to preventing the Ground Zero mosque from fulfilling its planners’ intentions."

Easy But Impossible, saying, "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently characterized the likelihood of a resolution from upcoming U.S.-force-fed peace talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as "difficult but possible." He has it exactly backwards—it is easy but impossible."

Two or Three Things I Know About the Iraq War saying, "In anticipation of Obama’s address to the nation on the Iraq War, Eugene Robinson wrote, “Now that the Iraq War is over… only one thing is clear about the outcome: We didn’t win.” Actually, I can think of about 12 things that are clearer than the conclusion that we didn’t win."

Mark Davies presents the following article posted at Online Masters Degree

30 Strangest Presidential Gifts Ever Exchanged , saying, "Here are thirty of the most unusual gifts that a United States president has received while in office, to enrich your knowledge of presidential trivia. We can’t say for sure that they’re the absolute strangest, but they’re certainly not something you could pick up at the local Hallmark store!"

Joel presents the following article posted at Car Insurance Comparison

 Scott Spiegel presents the following articles posted at Scott Spiegel,

Israel to U.S.: "You Are the Weakest Link!" saying, "The list of countries that have provided tacit support to Israel for its imminent launch of preemptive missile attacks on Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities now includes: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, and… not-the-United-States."

Does Inquisitor Schumer Clandestinely Loathe Open-Speech Elections?, saying, "Since the clever acronym for Democrats’ new election fund accountability scheme is DISCLOSE, perhaps they could disclose for the American people the true intention of the bill and the consequences it will have on free speech and political advocacy during election cycles."

Conservatives: 4½ Justices Good Enough For Us!, saying, "President Obama called arguments against Supreme Court Justice nominee Elena Kagan’s confirmation "pretty thin gruel." That’s funny—I call no judicial experience and scant, conflicting legal theorizing in print "a short stack of hotcakes."

Obama to Gulf Tarballs: "We Are Not Amused", saying, "It’s no coincidence that the Tea Party movement is springing up now, 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party. Barack Obama is the closest thing this country has had to royalty since King George III. And I don’t mean that in a good way."

Health Care Rationing: A Love Story, saying, "What kind of benevolent dictator would declare his love for Britain’s stingy, depressing, complicated, cold and arbitrary National Health Service by describing it as “generous, hopeful, confident, joyous and just”?"

Obama Schedules Beer Summit With Ben Jealous and Andrew Breitbart, saying, "The NAACP was once a pioneer in spearheading crucial and controversial civil rights work, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since then, the NAACP has distinguished itself as a water carrier for every racist fringe element in society but the KKK."

I Guess Tax Cuts Stimulate the Economy After All, saying, "Now that it’s become obvious to everyone except Paul Krugman that runaway government spending does not mystically create wealth, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has been caught admitting to the House Financial Services Committee last Thursday, 18 months after the stimulus bill failed, “Extending the Bush tax cuts will strengthen the economy.”"

Pelosi Lauds "Most Ethical Congress in Herstory", saying, "In 2006 Congressional Democrats campaigned on the conceit that Republicans were corrupt up to their coke-filled noses and incapable of governing so much as a taco stand, and that the country was yearning for a breath of fresh air from the party that brought us Gary Condit, William Jefferson, Cynthia McKinney, Jim McGreevey, John Murtha, Eliot Spitzer, and Eric Massa."

Andrew Syrios presents the following articles posted at SwiftEconomics.com.

Nullification and Civil Disobedience

The BP Spill Has Been Capped… Now Cap and Trade? – Gulf Oil Spill – Global Warming – Barack Obama

Jason Hammond presents the following articles posted at FreeOrBound,

Washington Weakens Defense Posture Again saying, "Our spineless leaders in both parties think it is best to cut defense when we need it the most."

Islam’s Jihad: War Against The West saying, "Our spineless leaders in both parties think it is best to cut defense when we need it the most."

Another Tax Lie Revealed saying, "Yet another lie about what the Administration’s definition of a tax versus the American citizen."

Approval of Kagan: Objection! saying, "Kagan is about the worst person to approve to our highest court."

START Treaty Should Not Be Ratified saying, "This START Treaty is a farce and is not worthy of a Senate ratification."

Izgad presents the following articles posted at Izgad,

Stanley Fish, Arizona and the Depoliticized Classroom saying, "I argue for the importance of a de-politicized classroom as a necessary ingredient of a peaceful societal discourse. At the same time, I see the necessity that a willingness to accept the legitimacy of the government and the Constitution as being likewise necessary and outside the issue of politics."

De-Citizenship Trials in Practice: Tolerating Fred Phelps saying, "This post discusses the limits of free speech within the context of Fred Phelps of the Westboro Church."

Playing I-Spy with the gulf oil spill?

zxq9 presents the following article  posted at The Intellectual Wilderness,

The Intellectual Wilderness » Blog Archive » Largest Single American Policy Mistake I Have Witnessed saying, "Article is on a topic which is no longer at the boiling head of public discussion, but desperately needs to be examined in a non-emotional way. I explore the healthcare bill and some of its implications. I also reference an article about how populist effort in the interest of the "public good" forced me (and everyone else) to pull money out of my AIDSVax investment and collapse what could have been a major medical breakthrough. If this article is not quite what you are looking for I’ll just try you again later. Most of my writing is non-partisan and pragmatist, but that tends to stand in opposition to the current US and UK left."

Aaron Dinsdale presents the following article posted at The Going Green Site!

The Incompatibility Of Going Green and Greed saying, "If there’s anything that the recent Gulf of Mexico oil disaster has taught me, it’s that many of the ideas and well founded goals of going green and becoming eco-friendly are simply out of reach for the world – at it’s current state of thinking. Pure simple economics are a testament to that fact. The world’s economic engine runs on greed at it’s core. Nations have been competing in this arena since the dawn of time, and now we’re finally facing the butcher’s bill. How?"

Does Saudi Arabia Allow Gays in the Military?, saying, "As the newly appointed Dean of Harvard Law School, Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan decided, in the middle of the War on Terror, to cripple the Reserve Officer Training Corps’ recruitment capability on campus by denying it crucial access to funding, operating space, and assistance from the Office of Career Services."

Requiem for a Flip-Flopper, saying, "In a final ironic development capping his dishonorable career, Arlen Specter discovered yesterday that his party switch was all for naught, and even harmful to his aspirations. Democrats will claim Sestak won the race because the country is clamoring for more socialism, but really it’s because Americans loathe political opportunists like Specter."

Obama 2012: “Not the Barack You Knew in 2008!”l, saying, "President Obama’s strategy for helping fellow Democrats win in the 2010 midterm elections is apparently to campaign against George W. Bush. The growing preference among candidates of both parties who actually face voters this fall, however, seems to be to campaign against Barack Obama."

Obama’s Three Mile Island, saying, "The Gulf oil spill isn’t Obama’s Katrina—it’s more like his Three Mile Island: a rare but inevitable accident, an unavoidable byproduct of an essential method of power production, an incident used by a far-left administration to phase out an entire category of energy production in the hopes of stomping out industrial civilization as we know it."

Obama: There Since Cinco de Cuatro!

An Interview with GayPatriot Blogger B. Daniel Blatt, saying, "Conservative blogger B. Daniel Blatt of GayPatriot is on a cross-country trip and stopped in Charlottesville, Virginia, for an interview over breakfast."

A Mad Tea Party, saying, "There is an undeniable "Alice in Wonderland" quality to Democratic spin on the meaning and nature of the Tea Party movement."

Strategic Defaults: A Misnomer, saying, "De-bunking the morality argument regarding strategic defaults."

The Homeowner’s Dilemma: To Amputate or To Suck-it-Up and Take One for the Team saying, "It’s probably about time homeowners who have decided to not walk away from their mortgages to man up to their decision and quit bellyaching about those who are walking away."

Spirit of Compromise | Carl Creasman Spirit of Compromise| Live Well blog; life insights with values , saying, "This is actually the first of a series of 4 postings on Ben Franklin and his views expressed at the conclusion of the creation of the Constitution."

Richard Blumenthal Lied About Vietnam

What People Think about Obama’s Health Care Reform, saying, "When it comes to the health conditions of the people who are still able to survive living on this planet Earth, it is always a surefire that most people do care so much about their health conditions. People these days have become pretty aware of how important their health conditions may turn out to be."

The Crisis saying, "Don’t drink the Kool-Aid – get a dose of Liberty Juice!"

Conservativism is on the rise, saying, "Hope and Change. That really was great campaign platform for Obama to run on. Given America’s sentiment towards Republicans and Washington politics in general, almost any Democrat could have won the 2008 Presidential election against a progressive like John McCain."

cap and trade, cap and tax, senate  saying, "Have you had enough? Either way – do not worry! Senate Democrats had so much fun shoving the health care bill down our throats, they are ready to do it again as early as April 26th with the Cap and Tax bill – oops, I mean Cap and Trade."

Obama suggests VAT, saying, "A value added tax, or VAT for short, is something that has been floating around Washington for some time now as a solution to help the trillion dollar deficit woes. Most Americans probably do not know what a VAT is, considering it is a fairly recent European idea, but they are probably wondering how it will personally affect them and their families."

Health Care Challenge, saying, "Extensive higher taxes, federal mandates to purchase health insurance, tax penalties for non-compliance, nationalization of the entire student loan industry, subsidized Viagra for rapists and sex offenders and much more – what is not to like about ObamaCare?"

Brittany Pounders presents the following articles  posted at Liberty Juice,

Dumbed Down & Messed Up, Pt 2, saying, "LibertyJuice was birthed in an effort to quench the thirst of all American Patriots who daily carry the torch to protect & defend our way of life, our freedom of expression & freedom from tyranny, and to those who passionately pursue the American Dream. We realize that knowledge is power and power quells the enemies of Liberty."

Young People…Don’t Sleep Through the Revolution!, saying, "LibertyJuice was birthed in an effort to quench the thirst of all American Patriots who daily carry the torch to protect & defend our way of life, our freedom of expression & freedom from tyranny, and to those who passionately pursue the American Dream.

Allen Scott presents the following article posted at A View from the Nest,

Save the Earth By Loving Thy Neighbor saying, "Now I am all for helping my neighbor, but by helping I just do not want to help them remain alive in their situation. I want to see their situation change for the better, therefore it is necessary to tackle the bigger issues surrounding their lot in life. Most of the aid given to these countries is like throwing a rescue ring to a drowning man and leaving him in the water."

Money for Military presents the following article  posted at Money for Military,

Financial Reform Will Affect USAA – Please Help saying, "Hi, I’m a USAA customer and I’ve used it since I’ve been in the military. I have in the military for over 10 years and USAA has helped hundreds of thousands military members with their unique finance needs. The new finance reform is going to impact USAA. Please help me spread the message to amend the financial reform currently in the senate by spreading my blog article. Thanks."

Ron Mossad presents the following article posted at RonMossad,

Revolution Muslim VS South Park update: converts, tolerance, Ibrahim Hooper and self-responsibility saying, "These guys are obviously extreme examples the American melting pot gone terribly wrong, but let’s be honest with ourselves, you only need to go as far as your nearest college campus to see thousands of young Americans protesting against the very country that gave them the ability to protest it. Obviously, it’s not the same thing – but there is this tremendous undercurrent of self-hatred in this country that if left unchecked can turn into outright extremism and death threats against cartoons."

Victoria Watson presents the following article posted at Different World

Obama’s Cannibalism of America saying, "The Obama administration is clearly cannibalizing America, taking from one person, group, or organization, and giving the pilfered assets to their own insiders and supporters."
