New Jersey's Flat Tax Debate - WSJ.com

New Jersey's Flat Tax Debate - WSJ.com: "Both GOP candidates agree that the 103 tax increases, including income and sales tax rate hikes, under current Governor Jon Corzine and his predecessor, the disgraced Jim McGreevey, have done great harm to their state. From 2001 to 2008, New Jersey lost a net 25,000 private-sector jobs even as public employment grew by 65,000 workers. The state's finances are such a mess that in late 2007 Governor Corzine proposed the political 'Hail Mary' of mortgaging New Jersey's toll roads in return for a guaranteed revenue stream. He lost, thanks to opposition led by Mr. Lonegan."

Environmentalist Economic Strangulation

FrontPage Magazine - Environmentalist Economic Strangulation: "This green agenda is more than absurd, it is sinister. The real goal of greens is not “clean energy” but less energy. Energy is essential to economic progress, and many greens want to halt and reverse economic progress. Some radical greens have praised Fidel Castro for de-developing Cuba. Al Gore wrote in his book Earth in the Balance that U.S. policy should aim for slower economic growth. President Obama’s chief science advisor John Holdren’s top two environmental goals are to shrink the human population and to slow economic growth."

More facts get in the way of the myth of Global Warming

The Strata-Sphere » A Global Warming Skeptic’s Factbook: "It is amazing how much information is now piling up to disprove the Chicken Little claims of the liberal scientific wannabes. The ice caps are not shrinking, the oceans are not warming, and the models still spew out endless errors. Now the only question is how long will it take reality to impinge on the public’s psyche."

WH Reporters Stand For Obama, But Not For Bush?

Livni: On Iran, there's no opposition | International | Jerusalem Post

If only our "loyal opposition," during the Bush year's, had been as willing to "present a responsible and respectful alternative,'" instead of behaving as a fifth column in this country....

Livni: On Iran, there's no opposition | International | Jerusalem Post: "Livni warned Israel's adversaries against mistaking the democratic process in the country for weakness: 'I know that there will be those who see in differences of opinion an opportunity to weaken Israel - rather than evidence of the strength of our democracy. I will not allow my words to be exploited in this way. Even when we disagree, Kadima will always present a responsible and respectful alternative.'"

FAA Memo: Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic

FAA Memo: Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic - wcbstv.com: "A furious President Barack Obama ordered an internal review of Monday's low-flying photo op over the Statue of Liberty.

CBS 2 HD has discovered the feds will have plenty to question.

Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and Air Force One to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public.

In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD the Federal Aviation Administration's James Johnston said the agency was aware of 'the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes' in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out."
