"The principles of limited government, disciplined spending, low taxes, a strong defense, impartial jurisprudence, markets and competition, the dignity of life, and above all that a citizen is an adult, fully capable of deciding what is best for himself --- are in fact wildly popular." THE LONDON TIMES
"To those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope." BARACK OBAMA
NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE MASTHEAD TO INCLUDE BARACK OBAMA'S VERY CONSERVATIVE SOUNDING COMMENTARY.
HE HAS STATED THE STANDARD TO WHICH HE SHALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

President George W. Bush remarks defending capitalism at the G-20 Economic Conference in New York
Novmeber 13, 2008.
"Like any other system designed by man, capitalism is not perfect. It can be subject to excesses and abuse. But it is by far the most efficient and just way of structuring an economy. At its most basic level, capitalism offers people the freedom to choose where they work and what they do, the opportunity to buy or sell the products they want, and the dignity that comes with profiting from their talent and hard work."
THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT
NOT A PERFECT SYSTEM, BUT STILL THE BEST DESIGNED BY MAN

Commenting on the rights for
terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
"There is no room for patience or delay in these areas. We have to hold President-elect Obama's feet to the fire if we're going to turn hope into reality. We hope that President-elect Obama, as soon as he is sworn in, will take bold
action and sign an executive order closing Guantanamo and ending the sham military commissions there. It is time to restore American values of justice, due process and human rights."
HEY...MR. ROMERO...How's 'bout we move these guys next door to where you live??
