The Dream Act has been stuck on Capitol Hill for a decade. Now even Marco Rubio is trying to introduce a “Republican version”. I don’t think there’s any such thing. I got involved in the Republican Party during Reagan’s 1980 bid for President because of my two neighbors, Mr. Van Slyke and Mr. Vaughn. They were both respected businessmen in our community and were typical of the nice chamber of commerce types. They started taking me to Republican …
…union boss Andy Stern. And this week, on queue, Obama’s speech indeed mirrored Stern’s opinions, including the notion that that free market capitalism does not work in today’s technically advanced, global commerce reality. The only answer, in their view, is a centrally planned, government-directed economy. We are now all wards of the state, unable to steer our own destiny and incapable of surviving on our intellect, talent…

Recently, these same 41 Senate Republicans sent a letter to the president specifically asking that Becker not be appointed during the recess. The US Chamber of Commerce agrees. Randel Jackson, the Chamber’ s senior vice president, issued the following statement: “This is the first time since 1993 that the Chamber has opposed a nominee to the NLRB. The Chamber’s o…

Collateral damage, it does exist, has justification in war (war against sovereign and local evil) and peace.
