Most of us just don’t have the time to give even a cursory perusal to the abundance of conservative commentary and news, so we help you with the quest. Each Sunday we highlight issues and headlines from the week, commented by established political pundits.
These include articulate and compelling commentary from Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, Devvy Kidd, Dick Morris, Michelle Malkin, and Thomas Sowell. We include others from time to time, but these six are rather prolific. These are their opinions on today’s hot topics; what’s yours?

Fiat money is in large part the type of money we have in America today.
The term “fiat money” refers to money that has no actual value backing it but exists as valuable currency only by governmental decree and agreement.
As a misguided someone recently said: “We now make money the old fashioned way. We print it.”
And someone else:
“Fiat money is an oxymoron. Traditionally, money has been both a storehouse of value and a medium of exchange. Fiat money exists by mimicking both; but when its ability to do so ends, fiat money exposed for what it is, reverts to what it is - government issued coupons with expiration dates printed in invisible ink” (Darryl Schoon, June 23, 2008).
Money proper evolved out of barter.
Money is nothing more than a medium of exchange. Indeed, the distinguishing characteristic of money is that it is specifically sought for purposes of re-exchanging.

President Barack Obama wrapped a west coast swing by hitting up donors for big money Wednesday night (2009-05-27) in Los Angeles, providing a progress report on his presidency and telling supporters “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
In this video, our troops trying to have a cookout in Afghanistan. But, the enemy decides to crash party. You’ve got to love the troops … no firefight is going to stop them from cooking out.
Egalitarianism is a fashionable term that in essence means equalization. It is also the main banner under which socialism, including socialism’s little sister environmentalism, flies today.
As a political philosophy, egalitarianism tells us that the legitimate functions of government do extend to such acts as keeping people relatively equal (a task that requires a massive act of governmental compulsion) despite the fact that humans possess varying degrees of ability, skills, intelligence, and, most important of all, ambition.
The late Kurt Vonnegut Jr. persuasively illustrates the sheer folly (and criminality) of egalitarianism in his fine short story Harrison Bergeron, which I recommend (you can read it entirely online via that link; it’s very short).
Who out there plans on going to a Rally, a Protest, The Tea Party? Do you have everything you need and want to show your frustration?
The reason I ask is to shamelessly plug my Zazzle Store. That’s Right; you want to be ready for the camera’s and for your voice to be heard by any means possible. It’s just that simple.

If you watched the news last Election Day (2008-11-04), you probably recall the coverage regarding a member of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPPSD) standing directly in front of the entrance to a Philadelphia polling place (1221 Fairmount Avenue) … wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters. The three videos below document the ordeal.
The government sued the man (King Samir Shabazz) and two associates (Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson), saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with a weapon, racial slurs, and military-style uniforms. Jackson was an official poll watcher that day, representing the 14th Ward Democratic Committee.
After none of the men appeared in court to face the charges, the government sought a default judgment against them. But, according to interviews and documents obtained by the Times, the lawyers were later ordered to reverse themselves by the Department of Justice and to ask for the cases against Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson to be dismissed. A default judgment was pursued against King Samir Shabazz to simply prohibit him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of an open polling place until November 15, 2012.
The DOJ has not only dismissed the case legally, but they have actually dismissed that notion that threatening voters as they enter a polling place is unacceptable behavior … as long as you’re a Black Panther.
What’s the long-term implication of this failure to prosecute?
The word “democracy” does not appear one time in either the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.
Democracy means majority rule. The reason the United States was explicitly designed to be a Republic and not a democracy is that your life and your property are yours absolutely. They are not in any way, or at any time, subject to vote.
The framers of the Constitution did not believe in unlimited majority rule on any fundamental issue, because they did not believe that the rights of even a single individual, let alone a whole race of people, could or should be subject to vote.
Democracy is also known as the tyranny of the majority.
Zo (AlfonZo Rachael) calls out RINO’s (Republicans In Name Only) who act more like liberals or who do not stand up to liberals. He offers perspectives on abortion, drilling for oil, the federal reserve note, and our national debt.
For six consecutive nights, starting Monday June 1st, Glenn Beck’s Common Sense Comedy Tour will be live in Denver (sold out), Phoenix, San Diego, Kansas City, Houston, and Richmond. The great news for those of us who don’t live in or near one of these cities is that the June 4th (Thursday) event (in Kansas City) will be simulcast live to more than 450 movie theaters nationwide.

Energy is like a river; it exists in two ways: flows and stores.
When you store energy, you create a dam to capture it.
What environmentalists call “renewable energy” is really just the stored energy of the sun.
In actuality, there’s no such thing as “renewable energy”: all energy, even the sun, is limited.
Fossil fuels are energy stores as well – specifically, they are stored solar energy, a process that takes millions of years – and they are highly concentrated, ten times more so than, for instance, wood.
In terms of wind and raw solar energy, the flow is exceptionally diluted: solar is 10 to 50 times less concentrated than fossil fuel. When you can’t concentrate it, then, the only way to harvest it is to use more and more land. That’s the limiting factor for both sun and wind energy.
TEXAS Magazine has a very positive and eminently fair article about the 20,000 strong who turned out at the Alamo on April 15th:
On April 15th, “tax day” in America, an estimated 20,000 people from all over Texas and other parts of the nation attended the San Antonio Tea Party. Why did these people of all ages and incomes, representing Democrat, Republican and Independent voters, come together in front of the Alamo? Was it to rock out with Ted Nugent, protest high taxes and socialism, learn more about Constitutional principles, or just see TV host Glenn Beck? To find out, Texas Magazine randomly asked a cross-section of patriots a simple question: “Why are you here”?
Johnny and Betsy Wagner, Columbus, TX
Johnny, a veteran CPA, said he was fed up with “seeing how much my clients are getting ripped off in taxes” year after year. And the situation is worsening. “It’s gone to extremes. We can’t afford to let this happen anymore.”
Betsy shared her husband’s concerns. However, she was more worried about how–in just a few short months–our society has changed for the worse in ways that could affect generations to come. “As a teacher for 30 years, I always told my students they were masters of their own destinies. But that’s not true now.” Instead, she said “Washington wants to tell us how much we can make and who can have certain jobs,” and make the educated people who earn the most money pay all the taxes for those who fail to educate themselves.
In late 2008 the couple’s oldest son left for his third tour of duty in Iraq. “When he gets back at the end of this year,” said Betsy with sadness in her voice, “I’m not sure he’ll find that all the freedoms he’s been fighting for will look the same.”
