*Government Creates Wealth? By Jennifer Rubin.

“Looking around the world and at our own recent past, there’s plenty of evidence that the liberal formula simply doesn’t work. We can become more like our Western European allies, but then we can expect employment, growth, and wealth creation to approximate those countries.”

*In case you needed a reminder that federal power is backed by a monopoly on the use of force: IRS to buy shotguns.

*Europeans Shattered By Obama’s Indifference, by Erik at No Parasan!

“How many times did we tell you — how many times did conservatives, Republicans — tell you, “No, it is not about Bush and, that, you will soon find out!”

Well, here we go. Remember the number of articles bemoaning the fact that Europeans are stupefied by Bush’s arrogance, or whatever (or words to that effect)? Well, now we get a huge front-page headline in Le Monde saying Europeans Shattered by Obama’s Indifference (Les Européens ébranlés par l’indifférence d’Obama.”

“Right now the world’s bad actors confidently see “hope” for a vast “change” in the old world order — but not the kind Obama once so boldly promised.”

*May Cooler Heads Prevail, by A. Kam Napier.

“Because of manmade global warming, I warned in 1996, that “sea levels could rise as much as three feet by the year 2100 … warming can lead to hotter and more frequent heat waves … stronger and more frequent hurricanes to Hawai‘i … endanger native plants species [and] coral reefs.” These dire predictions came from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Researchers at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia provide much of the IPCC’s analysis and predictions. In November 2009, hackers released thousands of e-mails from the CRU, going back years, and it is these e-mails that reveal the very unscientific, unethical activities I described above.



I feel I’ve been had.”
