Condescension

This is the kind of attitude leftists (or statists) bring to government; you're the teenager, they're the parent. They're smarter, and better-intentioned, than you. You're selfish, they're wise.

Now apply this thinking to vast areas of our society where government doesn't have any constitutional mandate - but could make the world "better" - and you have the administration's "change" agenda in a nutshell.

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

- Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.)

(This sounds like something he'd say, but I haven't fact-checked it myself.)

Obama on Profit

Wow, just wow. This explains a great deal of what we're seeing from Washington.

Charlie Bought the Jury

Rangel gave money to 3 of 5 Democrats on Ethics Panel

Maybe that's why he's been so nonchalant about this investigation?

Hard to Disagree with the Conclusions

A deliberate attempt to move America in a statist direction? Maybe the only explanation for what we're seeing from the Administration so far.
