Weekly Wrap-up

This – a blatant act of aggression against the U.S. – should have been a bigger story this week...

...especially in light of what The Washington Times calls “Obama’s State of Islamic Denial.”

The President, it seems, doesn’t have much to say about anything taking place in the world right now – whether it’s the situation in Libya...

... or the staggering rise in gas prices over the past week.

The one decisive answer from Obama this week it seems is that no, U.S. border agents in Mexico will NOT be allowed to protect themselves. This after a meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon – because shouldn’t Mexico have the final word on how America protects her citizens?

Fear not though: According to FOX News, the Obama Administration and Mexico “will look at other ways to protect American officials in the wake of a fatal shooting last month.” U.S. agents can just tell that to the thugs who want to kill them.

Here at home... this may not be quite as exciting as Wisconsin, but now New Yorkers have our own protests to talk about.

Andrew Cuomo is thinking a bit more long-term in the name of budget restraint...

...and in Albany, the squabbling is already starting.

And have a great weekend!

The perils of free speech. The United States Supreme Court has ruled on the gravity of free speech and while the members of Westboro Baptist Church may have won in Court, they will never win in the court of popular opinion. They should be totally grateful they were born in America, but they are so misguided, they most likely do not even understand the gift of being an American. I am certain that true Americans will shield grieving families from their despicable displays at military funerals.

E. J. McMahon makes the case for a property cap.

And the NY Post continues to call for an end to LIFO. Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of schools in Washington, DC and did a magnificent job until the unions ran her out, on LIFO. As of now the Senate Education Committee has reported the Bill (S3501-B) to the Floor for a vote.

The NY Post Editorial, on Saturday, made it perfectly clear that the First Amendment should be respected.

The New York Post, wrote in its Sunday Edition, about 1500 teachers paid to do union business and miss class while paying another teacher to teach costing taxpayers twice. Are you comfortable with your tax dollars paying twice for one teacher to be in the classroom?
