Electing the Supreme Court
After the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election, viagra buy case there has been a lot of talk about switching to appointing Supreme Court Justices in Wisconsin.
I think this is a bad idea.
In fact, cialis buy mind I propose we stop appointing Supreme Court Justices at the national level and start electing justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Since the Court seems hellbent on acting like a super legislature, treat they should have to run for office just like every other politician.
And disconnecting Supreme Court Justices from the office of the President would let us start voting for candidates on issues other than who they might appoint to the court (an action that usually has much father reaching and longer lasting consequences than almost anything else a President can do in office).
I say more democracy, not less. Let’s keep electing Wisconsin Supreme Court justices and start electing U.S. ones, too.

Why isn’t this sexist?
Obama superdelegates find their ‘sisterhood’ questioned.
So, best viagra buy if you’re a woman you should vote for a woman just because she’s a woman, sildenafil physician but if you’re a man and vote for a man just because he’s a man you’re a sexist pig?
For the record, I think you ARE a sexist pig if you vote for someone of your own gender JUST because they’re the same gender…whether you’re a woman or a man.

Why John, I didn’t know you cared!
To help people weather the downturn immediately, discount viagra viagra McCain was calling for Congress to institute a “gas-tax holiday” by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. He also renewed his call for the United States to stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and thus lessen to some extent the worldwide demand for oil.
Combined, best viagra levitra he said, the two proposals would reduce gas prices, which would have a trickle-down effect and “help to spread relief across the American economy.”

If you looked closely, you could probably see a tear rolling down Thomas Jefferson’s cheek
Washington police broke up a group of libertarians for dancing at the Jefferson Memorial:
“I guess the only conclusion, sildenafil ed here, viagra sales is that it’s apparently illegal to dance on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial–even with headphones. You know, post 9-11 world and all. Harmless fun will be interpreted in the most threatening context imaginable. Whimsy and frivolity will not be tolerated.
Of course, the real irony here is that all of this happened at the Jefferson Memorial, in observance of Jefferson’s birthday. Go out to celebrate the birth of the most hardcore, anti-authoritarian of the Founding Fathers, get hauled off in handcuffs. The photo’s almost poetry, isn’t it? One of history’s most articulate critics of abuse of state authority looks on as a park police cop uses his elbow to push a female arrestee into one of said critic’s memorial pillars.
Every single day I wonder what happened to the country I learned about in elementary school.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asks, “Can art prompt a more rational dialogue on immigration?”
In response to to their question, viagra canada pilule I ask, seek “What’s irrational about a country wanting to control its own borders?”
As far as I’m concerned, there can be no “rational” discussion about immigration until the pro-illegal immigration coalition stops asserting that anyone who talks about resisting illegal immigration is a racist.

Why does the Left in America hate America?
Now, viagra canada cialis I know that not every Liberal hates America.
My point is, best cialis no rx I can’t even think of a time I heard someone from the Right say they hated America.
And, discount yet, you hear it fairly often from the Left.
They say they hate America for its racism. They hate America for what it has done, for what they imagine it has done, and for what it has failed to do. They spell America with a K. They burn flags. They sit silent (or maybe cheering) as a preacher shouts “God damn, America.” They hate America for electing George Bush.
But when Bill Clinton was president, folks on the Right never said, “I hate America,” or “I hate Bill Clinton’s America,” they said, “I hate Bill Clinton.”
From the Right I hear, “I hate Affirmative Action.” Or, “I hate taxes.” Or, “I hate Liberals.”
But I never hear, “I hate America.”
So, I’m asking a serious question here:
Why do so many folks on the Left actually say they hate America?
Is it because, at heart, they know that so many of the things they hate about America (the freedom to keep and bear arms, the freedom to offend others with what you say, the freedom to make a profit) represent the “real” America?
The America that was carved out of the wilderness by individualists and iconoclasts?
The America that was taken away from the Indians and Mexicans at gunpoint?
The America that is more interested in independence than in interdependence?
Maybe I’m wrong (it certainly wouldn’t be the first time), but it seems to me that people on the Right never say they hate America, because they know that the things they do hate about America can be changed and don’t represent the true nature of our great nation.
But the people on the Left who say they hate America believe that the very things they hate most about America – our looking out for our own self-interest, our competitiveness, our love of business, our warlike nature, our individualism, our disregard for high culture, our tolerance of inequality in the interest of rewarding excellence, and our uncivilized insistence on personal responsibility – are the very things that make America…America.
