WSJ — What the Bible Teaches About Capitalism
An interesting perspective from a rabbi.
What do you call someone who owns at least one vehicle, home entertainment and game systems, a computer, and has cable TV and a cell phone? In much of the world, “wealthy.” In America, apparently, “poor.”

Oh, the irony. Leave it to Obama to trot out one of the 1% as his big example of how unfair the tax system is. And how about having his own staff pay their taxes:

CNN — Obama pushes clean energy theme in Nevada, Colorado
Obama called his energy plan an “all-out, all-in, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy.”
At this point does anyone really believe this line?
CNET — U.S.-backed battery firm Ener1 seeks Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Why did the company fail? Low demand for electric vehicles. Duh. They’re EXPENSIVE! You know, when someone finally gets around to writing a book about the incredible failure of Obama’s brilliant “green economy” plan, it will have only one long chapter…11.
Obama’s first TV ad of the 2012 campaign contains deliberately misleading information. (What we used to call a lie.) Who knew? The WSJ notes that
In bold type, the ad proclaims: President Obama “kept a campaign promise to toughen ethics rules” and it cites: “PolitiFact, 1/21/09.”
But
Just two days later, on Jan. 23, Politifact moved its ruling to “compromise” when Obama gave a waiver to William J. Lynn III, the nominee for deputy defense secretary. By March 17, PolitiFact called it a “promise broken” because so many waivers had been granted.
CNET — Obama at Intel: America, make more stuff
And how are we supposed to do that when you cut access to our own natural resources and kill our ability to provide the massive amounts of energy required for manufacturing?
WSJ — Showdown Over ‘Showrooming’
Showrooming is a moral failure which crosses the political divide. I’m saddened by how often I hear people talk about going into a store to check something out, then bragging about how they bought it from xyz.com for so much less. Why? When you do that, you are stealing from the brick-and-mortar store—you’ve deliberately used their resources when you had no real intention of purchasing from them.

Don’t be mislead by the headline. This lawsuit is being brought by the ultimate Mexican-haters…fellow Hispanics!
Carville & Begala, CNN — Yes, there’s a lot we don’t understand about the GOP
You have to love seeing experienced Democratic strategists open a piece with a litany of pure strawmen then spend the remainder attacking Gingrich. If he’s such a terrible candidate, why not throw your support behind him? Your guy should beat him handily, right? Right?
LA Times — Sterilized by North Carolina, she felt raped once more
She has every right to be furious. What was done to her by the state is nothing short of despicable. But holding current North Carolina taxpayers accountable for something done before many of us were born is simply piling one injustice on another. Make those guilty of the act liable. Punishing the innocent does nothing to achieve justice.

Fox News — White House delay of budget proposal infuriates Republicans
It should infuriate all Americans. This is the third time Obama has failed to meet his statutory requirement to file a budget on time, and the Democrat-controlled Senate hasn’t passed a budget in three years. Like it or not, under the Constitution the House controls the purse, and should lay it out for the public to see by passing a severely cut—balanced is too much to hope for—budget early enough to even more clearly expose the lack of seriousness in the Senate and White House.

NY Times — Obama Reaffirms Insurers Must Cover Contraception
Really think there’s no war on religious freedom coming from the Left? Or that liberals really care about separation of church and state? Or that you can keep your current coverage if you like it, as Catholic organizations drop insurance coverage for their employees?

File that under You-Have-Got-To-Be-@#$^%-Kidding! We wonder why our kids are dumb when they have idiots running their schools.
Washington Times — Uncle Sam’s empty cupboards: Obama is about to pour another trillion dollars down the drain
Apparently the term “debt ceiling” has no meaning remotely related to the literal dictionary definition of the term. If we’re going to raise the national credit card limit every other month—as is the current case—why not just eliminate it entirely and quit pretending Congress actually cares about the debt?
Michelle Malkin — The Land of Obama Make-Believe
Express-Times — Suspects in fatal robbery at Phillipsburg gas station head to Warren County on murder charges
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from anti-gun friends or co-workers, “Just cooperate with a mugger. He’ll take what he wants & leave.” Well, maybe; maybe not. I’m not going to bet my life on it, and neither should you.

WSJ — The Bain Capital Bonfire: Romney has a good story to tell, if he’s willing to tell it.
Probably the best defense of the work Romney did at Bain Capital that I’ve seen in print. It’s not like they bought profitable companies and just gutted them. The purpose of a company is to turn a profit—NOT to pay people who aren’t productive. In the end, Bain created far more jobs than it cut.
WSJ — Contempt for Congress: Obama makes recess appointments when there’s no recess
Cato — Playing Politics with the Constitution and the Law
Does anyone even remember how the Left yelled and screamed at every opportunity about how Bush was a dictator, Nazi, Bushitler, etc.? Never did he blatantly ignore the Constitution in the manner Obama is doing almost daily now. The Left is getting what they wanted—rule by fiat rather than a constitutional republic.
