As we all know, the Democrat party only cares about giving Americans choice when it involves an unborn child. When it comes to your tax dollars, your doctor, your retirement, and your children….well, they prefer to dictate from Washington. Here is a nice piece on the DC school voucher program. Guess what? The poor are flocking to remove their children from disastrous public schools.
From Investor’s Business Daily:
It’s a little known fact that, after invading Iraq in 2003, the U.S. found massive amounts of uranium yellowcake, the stuff that can be refined into nuclear weapons or nuclear fuel, at a facility in Tuwaitha outside of Baghdad.
In recent weeks, the U.S. secretly has helped the Iraqi government ship it all to Canada, where it was bought by a Canadian company for further processing into nuclear fuel — thus keeping it from potential use by terrorists or unsavory regimes in the region.
This has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Yet, as the AP reported, this marks a “significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.”
Seems to us this should be big news.
550 metric tons of the stuff was found, and is now being shipped to Canada… 550 metric tons, mind you, not just a few spent shells with residue in them. The article points out that with 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium, Saddam could have made 142 nuclear weapons.
Grassroots revolt against the GOP in the House and Senate:
And one more thing: come November 5th, should the current GOP leadership in either house survive to lead in a new Congress, the Lincoln Club of Orange County will review its financial backing of all Congressional Republicans, and we urge others to do likewise. A GOP caucus that would re-elect such leaders is not one we would likely continue to support.
Because, simply put: we refuse to support a permanent minority.
Read the entire article, it is well worth it. The GOP would be wise to start listening to grassroots conservatives, and conservative leaders in Congress.
