A great piece by Walter Williams discussing a book on President Lincoln. The article, The Real Lincoln, discusses how the Founder's believed it was within the rights of the states to secede from the Union. He is right to point out that the actions of Lincoln allowed federal power to switch it's role and subjucate the states. This was not the intent of the Constitution.

As one of the most unconstitutional bills to come out of Congress in ages, this just makes me sick.

Evidently, security personel at the Pentagon are getting a little over zealous, to put it mildly at this point. A Fox News cameraman was accosted by Pentagon security while he was videotaping an arrest made by the Virginia State Police on a highway that runs alongside but outside of Pentagon property. In this process the confiscated the tape.

For more on this, check out Matt Drudge's report on this or go straight to the source at FOXNews.com.

Hopefully this was just some misunderstanding and not indicative of how things are running around the Pentagon. Especially since the cameraman was a credentialed journalist with security clearence to shoot at the Pentagon.

I'll write more on them when I get a chance.

He states "Did anyone ever call Franklin D. Roosevelt a "Dutch American" or Dwight Eisenhower a "German American"? It would have been resented, not only by them and their supporters, but by Americans in general." It's trully sad that American isn't sufficient for most of the people in this country.

In another piece, Bill Murchison discusses the continueing attack on the nature of an absolute Truth. In his article The war against 'truth', Murchison goes into how even leaders of religious organizations are tearing down their own tenants of faith in order to advance their own agendas.

The lefts new method of attacking the Bush Administration was pointed out in a good piece by Rich Lowry in National Review Online today. I suggest anyone that watches politics and foriegn affairs, especially when it comes to defense issues, to check out this article.
