Worst President ever? Guess again.

***HAT TIP*** Pat in Covedale

Check this series from IBD. The chilling entry is the last, that connects current D presidential candidates with Jimmy.

While some of the logic is tenuous, the articles are important. Can we require these to be read before voting?

Racial discussions need this type of thinking.

I'm impressed with Jason Whitlock. See an article here. He seems to have a fantastic thought process on race in America. I'll have to see if I can find more examples. I had a similar discussion with a colleague and racial attitudes in society. I wonder what that status of race relations would be if more people in the black community embraced Whitlocks thoughts?

Turn off the Spanish TV? Exactly right.

Arnold is right. See the story here. The comments from Mr. Nogales and Ms. Marrero are the exact mindset Arnold is trying to change. To say that Mexican immigrants are too busy working to learn English is deplorable. It's just a miracle that the French, German, Polish, Czech, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese etc, immigrants from the last 200 years have been able to work AND learn some English.

No Mr. Nogales, what's really sad is that people might believe you and think it's naive to learn the language of the country where they choose to live and work.

Kansas tornado damage revisited.

I found this article striking. Two things stand out: First, the resiliency of the Midwesterners. In an earlier piece, the author touches on the spirit of the people directly affected. This article is a nice follow up to that story. Hope to hear more out of Greensburg and the success of the people. Second, the hypocrisy of the left and especially the Democrat governor of Kansas. Trying to politicize or gain political capital from a natural disaster (Katrina) and the suffering of her own constituents. While partying at Jazzfest with another governor that pulled the same shtick? Deplorable. Despicable.
