*Say No to Democracy, by David Harsanyi.
“What, one wonders, will Democrats have to say about the filibuster when Sarah Palin is jamming through her first-year agenda as president?”
*It’s the Constitution, Stupid: What the TEA partiers really want, by Ron Futrell.
“While the media tries to marginalize the movement and make it seem insignificant, racist, divisive, angry, trivial, and mean—-the Tea Party movement rolls on. Democrats will twist and turn on a roller-coaster ride of definitions before they ever find the answer. If they really want the answer, I’ll give it to them again in case I wasn’t clear:
THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT WANTS AMERICA TO RETURN TO CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.”
For the progressive in the audience, since I know you’ve never actually read it, the US Constitution can be found here.

*Obama Says Bi-Partisanship, but What He Really Wants is GOP Surrender, by Mark Knoller. (H/T Hot Air)
“When a sitting president calls for bipartisanship by the opposition – he really means surrender. And if they block his proposals, its “obstinacy” and not political views they hold as strongly as he holds his.”
*Audi’s Gorewellian Super-Bowl Ad, by Jonah Goldberg.
“It will be interesting to see whether the ad actually sells cars. The premise only works if you take it as a given that this Gorewellian nightmare is inevitable. But the commercials arrive at precisely the moment when that inevitability is unraveling like an old pair of hemp socks.”

*Menace in Mad March of Thought Police, by Janet Albrechtsen.
“Criticism of Christianity is fair game. After all, when was the last hate law prosecution of a critic of Christianity? By contrast, Islam has special protective laws. The same happened in Canada when commentators Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant were hauled before anti-discrimination tribunals for expressing critical opinions about Islam. John Stuart Mill’s defence of free speech has been buried. Muslim-style censorship now applies in the heart of Western liberal democracies.”

*Increasing Government Power Threatens Freedom, by John Stossel.
*Education and the Fallacy of Fairness, by Thomas Sowell.
“Achievement by overcoming obstacles is a special threat to the left’s vision of the world, and so must be magically transformed into privilege through rhetoric.
Those with that vision do not want to even discuss evidence that students from different groups spend different amounts of time on homework and different amounts of time on social activities. To admit that inputs affect outputs, whether in education, in the economy or in other areas, would be to undermine the vision and agenda of the left, and deprive those who believe in that vision of a moral melodrama, starring themselves as defenders of the oppressed and crusaders against the forces of evil.”
