"[A] generation that is not taught to recognize the irreconcilable differences represented by the Declaration of Independence and the Communist Manifesto, between Madison and Marx, the Federalist Papers and Rules for Radicals is doomed to be ruled, not to rule. Individual liberty will not long survive in a republic of civic dunces." --Washington Examiner editorial page editor Mark Tapscott

Cutting 1.6% of the budget is "mean-spirited"?

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) opposes defunding anything where the government already spends money. Well, for Democrat constituents anyway. In opposing the House Republicans' bill to cut $61 billion in federal spending, Reid spoke from the Senate floor this week saying, "The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1, eliminates National Public Broadcasting. It eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts. These programs create jobs. The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist."


The people wouldn't exist without federal funding? Whatever, Harry.

Can we change America's "entitlement" mentality?

"The key to what is bound to be hand-to-hand combat in the coming [budget cuts] debate will be whether Republicans can change our 'entitlement' mentality and cause people to focus instead on economic liberty and personal freedom. Can government do more for you than you can do for yourself? If Medicare and Social Security are going broke, why would anyone trust even bigger and costlier government to do better with more of our money? ... Changing the way we think about entitlements, economic liberty and personal responsibility will be a challenge for congressional Republicans. They've tried before and Democrats demagogued them into submission. They will try to re-run the same play this time." --columnist Cal Thomas
