If you live and vote in Ohio, you should become informed about a ballot intiative which includes four constitutional ammendments for the state of Ohio to be voted on November 8. In trying to discover the motivations of the groups sponsoring the ammendment package you only have to consider that the OFT, the OEA, the Sierra Club, and every other liberal organization in Ohio are among the principal sponsers. Are you asking yourself the question, “what do these ammendments have to do with public education?” I am asking this question.
You might want to link to these web sites and read more. It seems like the supporters of this ammendment package can not accept the results of many elections in Ohio. They have these ammendments wrapped in slick packaging to try to fool the public into voting for “campaign finance reform,” open, unrestricted and unverifiable voting, and voting for placing the election process (which has worked extremely well) and placing it under the crush of more government beauracracy.
These ammendments seem to be floating along under the political radar screen. Maybe as the election approaches, more facts will come to light.
Stay tuned as more information comes to light on “Reform Ohio Now.”

Charles Krauthammer demonstrates why he has won the Pulitzer Prize. He gives insight into the kind of Chief Justice that John Roberts is likely to be.

The American Thinker provides great articles every day. It has become conventional wisdom that Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin were total failures in the face of Katrina. The American Thinker summarizes it better than anyone.
“Actually, it’s fascinating to contrast the bold, courageous, steadfast leadership shown by New York’s Mayor Giuliani and Governor Pataki following the September 11th attacks to the seemingly dazed, inept, vacuous mismanagement of Blanco and Nagin. Giuliani and Pataki immediately became household names, known worldwide for their calm, measured, appropriate handling of the WTC attack. On the other hand, it’s doubtful that the average American even knows who Blanco and Nagin are, so low have been their public profiles. But once again, their ineffective local response has somehow been transformed by the media into President Bush’s fault.”

The Roberts hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee turned out mostly to be a big yawn. even the mainstream media couldn’t get very excited about trying to defeat or trick judge Roberts into a mistake.
The Weekly Standard has a worthwhile summation of the hearings. Dick Durbin of Illinois was questioning Roberts on the last day of the hearings, and the brilliant John Roberts topped him once again.
“And so, in various ways, had Durbin’s Democratic colleagues been asking about such matters–ones “beyond loyalty” to the rule of law. In response to Durbin, Roberts stuck to the point he had indeed made “many times over.” Reframing the senator’s question so as to reach the core issue, Roberts said, “Somebody asked me, you know, ‘Are you going to be on the side of the little guy?’ And you obviously want to give an immediate answer. But as you reflect on it, if the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win in court before me. But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy is going to win, because my obligation is to the Constitution. That’s the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that ‘I’ll look out for particular interests.’ . . . The oath is to uphold the
[]Constitution and laws of the United States, and that’s what I would do.”
That exchange crystallized the fundamental difference between John Roberts and the eight Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats believe a good judge will move “beyond loyalty” to the rule of law, if necessary, and seek to advance certain political outcomes–in Durbin’s question, the expansion of personal freedom. Roberts dissents: He believes a good judge will distinguish between law and politics and stick resolutely to the law, regardless of the result. Roberts will go not with the little guy because he is the little guy, or the big guy because he is the big guy, but with the guy the Constitution says should win. He’ll not look out for “particular interests” because his oath obligates him to support not this or that interest but the Constitution and the laws of the United States.”

All hail to New York City: The Capital of the World!
Categories: Uncategorized

We will never forget the unprecedented events of September 11, 2001. The anniversary of this date provokes eerie memories and great pride. We remember all those whose lives were lost or irrevocably changed on this most infamous day in United States history.
Our nation and our culture were forever changed in a few moments on September 11. Too many of our citizens seem to have forgotten the tragic events of the day. Fox and Friends Sunday had a moving tribute this morning which mostly consisted of video footage from the fateful day in 2001.
The blogosphere is full of remarkable tributes and thoughts surrounding this fourth anniversary. It is one again a gorgeous September 11. Let us all take a moment to reflect on the meaning of September 11.
New York City is the most undefeated city in the world, the most resiliant city in the world, and truly the CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. I truly wish that I were in my adpoted home town today.

In a strained interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Senator Landrieu was non-responsive to the many direct questions about her responsiblity in this entire matter. She would not criticise Mayor Nagin or Governor Blanco at all, yet she attempted half-heartedly to critique Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi. On what planet does she live??!! Governor Barbour has had his situation stabilized since day one. When confronted with facts from the Washington Post (among the two most liberal newpapers in the USA), Senator Landerieu was incredulous. She made no attempt to refute the facts, and demonstrated her hysterical emotional response to the charges at hand.
The truth: Senator Landrieu has done nothing to help her citizens. She is a strident, hysterical, knee-jerk, lying, liberal who knows her senate seat is in doubt when she runs for re-election. She is an embarassment to her state, and at this point, an embarassment to our nation.
