		<title>Marriage, a basic civil right?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(via HotAir.com)
Mr. Orson argues that marriage is "one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution":

		<title>Official media vs. Independent media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bruce Walker at American Thinker summarizes leftist chokehold on intellectual institutions:

The grotesque bias of television network news and the national press media is an old story -- a very old story.  Forty years ago, Spiro Agnew gave his Des Moines Speech in which he described how three powerful corporations -- CBS, NBC, and ABC [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time to dissolve the people and elect a new one?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because that's the only thing that can be meant by "ungovernable America" (via HotAir.com):

The smarter elements in Washington DC are starting to pick up on the fact that it’s not tactical errors on the part of the president that make it hard to get things done, it’s the fact that the country has become ungovernable.

		<title>Keep religion out of politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least that's what voters seem to be saying, according to this Rasmussen poll, and rightly so:

But only 14% of all voters believe it is appropriate for their local religious reader to suggest whom they should vote for. Seventy-eight percent (78%) say it is not right for their parish priest, minister, rabbi or imam to [...]]]></description>

		<title>If we are not in it to win it, then pull out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are only two ways to fight a war. Either we put the full resources of the country behind the war effort with the explicit goal of total victory in the shortest time, or we don't fight it at all. It is immoral to fight a war any other way. It is morally wrong to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the little minds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least that might explain some of the positions of liberals:

For instance, she has supported the work of feminists all along. She, in her book, Greta, as you know, gives credit to Title IX, says if Title IX was not there, she would not have been able to go to college because she couldn't afford [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why does U.S. need to keep troops &#8217;round the world?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a somewhat disappointing poll, Rasmussen finds that a plurality of voters support keeping U.S. troops in Japan:

Twenty-six percent (26%) of Americans say the United States should remove all its military troops from Japan, a central issue in President Obama’s trip to that country Friday and Saturday.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subverting opposition to &#8220;too big to fail&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JP Morgan executive appears to say the right thing, but not really:

"If some unforeseen circumstance should put this firm at risk of collapse, I believe we should be allowed to fail," Dimon wrote on Friday in The Washington Post. "Global economic growth requires the services of big financial firms. It also requires that big financial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gitmo not closing: prelude for landslide win in &#8216;12?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rather predictably, Obama administration is not serious about closing Gitmo:

Struggled?  Yes, that’s one way of putting it.  After Craig damaged US-British relations by sticking four Gitmo detainees on a plane to Bermuda, and after he dumped less than a dozen more on the island nation of Palau, the pickings for release became mighty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Liberals take note: statism doesn&#8217;t pay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is what happens when you put a statist in power:

Kristina Clair, a 34-year old Linux administrator living in Philadelphia who provides free server space for Indymedia.us, said she was shocked to receive the Justice Department’s subpoena.
