Chuck Norris has written a 2-part series educating us about how our nation's founders provided solutions to the problem of immigration (I refuse to link to it; it is over at Town Hall if you must). Chuck quotes Thomas Jefferson, who argues that the nation should emphasize an assimilationist strategy designed to prevent the formation of isolated cultural or linguistic ghettos that would render the country "a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass." He further quotes Alexander Hamilton, who wrote that "the safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of citizens from foreign bias and prejudice; and on the love of country, which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education, and family."

You've heard of No Child Left Behind. The Texas Board of Education has just passed Every Child Left Behind.

Robert Reich just wrote an interesting analysis of BlueCross Anthem's rate increase of 39%. This is the best illustration possible for why we need a public option intervention into the health insurance "free market." The Democrats should be relentlessly pounding this story down everyone's throats until even the most lizard-brained among us can see the point.

An interesting development on the pro-life advertisement set to air during the Superbowl this weekend. As you may have heard, the mother of Florida QB, Tim Tebow, claims that a physician counseled her to abort the fetus-that-would-be-Tim when she became gravely ill in the Philippines, where she was a missionary. Now, she and her son will regale the entire world with their "Celebrate Family - Celebrate Life" message during an injury time-out, a call challenge, or a regularly scheduled commercial break.

As the website I Hate What You Just Said reported yesterday, Fox News recently told Massachusetts voters that their 401(k)'s would get a boost if Scott Brown were to be elected.

Clearly, Massachusetts voters heard the call and acted in enlightened self interest to pad their retirement funds. However, it now appears that the opposite is true!

Our entire economy may very well be in jeopardy unless we act quickly to deny Brown a Senate seat!

The evidence is pretty damning that the "Brown Effect" is a real and present danger.

This video is the perfect metaphor for what the McCain campaign will have to do before Tuesday.

This picture clearly shows Barack Hussein Obama levitating an orange at least a foot over his upturned palm. No mere mortal could perform such a trick.

In last Thursday's debate between Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, moderator Gwen Ifill asked both individuals to describe their Achilles' heel. Palin's response revealed her to be the unlettered tundra hick that we'd always suspected:

A concerned citizen sent us a link to an article published over at Bloomberg by a Kevin Hassett. The article is entitled "How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis." We are intrigued.

The title tells you all you need to know. To the manichean brain produced by 8 years of pavlovian response to the Bush administration's clanging bells of terror and doom, the world is neatly divisible into two categories: good and evil. There is no nuance, no gray area, nothing to doubt -- not a moment's hesitation, unclarity or unease. When something goes wrong, don't think -- just point your finger at the appropriate evildoer, be he terrorist or Democrat (or both).

How do we know that Sarah Palin is prepared to be the president of the United States?

One of the more annoying behaviors of our political pundit class is the wholesale substitution of their own views for those of "the voters," or "the military," or "soccer moms," or "people who drink beer." When a talking head states that "the voters" don't care about a candidate's age or that "the military" doesn't trust a candidate who favors diplomacy, they describe large, diverse populations as if they were homogeneous, unified groups. Utterances such as these magically make all diversity and complexity disappear into a smoky cloud of generality.

This is sad. The McCain campaign is compensating supporters with various prizes when they cut-and-paste the campaign talking points into blog comments or web discussions.
