This Week's Krauthammer
Much has been written and discussed regarding the NSA leak.
I want to go on record on my blog and state that I defend the measure, especially from a historical perspective.
It is folly to believe that our nation would not spy on our enemies, even homegrown one's.
The precedent has been set since Washington with the Whiskey Rebellion and the Alien and Sedition Act. Lincoln made tatters of the Constitution attempting to keep the Union together and Roosevelt literally set up concentration camps for Japanese /Americans during WWII.
So let's drop the hypocritical charade and self righteous tone of what has happened here and realize that in our history, this is peanuts and with hindsight, our future generations will study this moment in history and ridicule those who opposed this tool in our arsenal at the preservation of the nation.
What it does boil down to me is, and this is where I am most alarmed and concerned, is this administration trustworthy to handle this tool as opposed to all our previous administrations.
If this would be the only supposed misappropriation of power undergone by this administration I would not be concerned, but considering that Obama and team has grossly mishandled four or more major scandals, then I conclude that thus presidency and its members are dangerous idiots.
It doesn't take an expert at Machiavellian principles to take the PRIZM order along with the IRS scandal and realize there is a real "Big Brother" problem here.
So in this regard, I oppose this administration having this much power.
I'll use this metaphor to help describe my position better.
It isn't that I'm against guns, I'm opposed to Obama using a gun. He doesn't know how to use the gun and he isn't only dangerous to himself, he's liable to hurt innocents with it.

Common Sense and Facts To the Immigration Bill
An important caveat to remember isn't hat The Heritage Foundation's $6.3 trillion cost is over 50 years.
That's right, 50 years. The Heritage Foundation really became a laughingstock with this analysis.
They used to bring fantastic analysis without having to obfuscate and mislead.
Demint is degrading the once excellent reputation of this conservative think tank to suit his own agenda

Republican Party and the Youth Vote
Interesting and eye opening study. I think my fellow Republicans would be well advised to heed what this report says since these people will not only bring about the platform of the future republican party but will be integral on the upcoming elections
