Speaking a couple years ago about technology and education, Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs said that technology wouldn’t matter as long as you can’t fire teachers. “I believe that what is wrong with our schools in this nation is that they have become unionized in the worst possible way,” he said. Jobs likened schools to running a small business that he said could never succeed if you can’t hire and fire. Reasonable? I think so.

Attorney Generals from Florida and South Carolina are joining the Virginia AG (and the Landmark Legal Foundation) in warning congress not to proceed with this unconstitutional plan to ram through this unconstitutional government health care bill. Most of the 50 states are already moving to protect their citizens from this unconstitutional bill, even as socialists in congress grit their teeth and prepare to ram it down America’s throat.

During a press conference today, State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Gordon Howie called the budget proposals by the Governor and the Legislative leadership “fatally flawed.”

Our government is considering allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the U.S. military by rescinding Bill Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy which allows homosexuals to serve in the military as long as their sexual behavior is kept secret. But General John Sheehan testified before congress and revealed an important lesson which illustrates why this would be foolhardy.

Here are three great quotes from “scientists” who have been pushing environmental extremism for years, and continue to push the hoax of anthropogenic global warming on society. They demonstrate that the so-called “scientific” predictions of these radicals are not grounded in science and are actually worthless.

John S. Baker and Elliot Stonecipher have an informative article at the Wall Street Journal on one of the many unconstitutional aspects of the 2010 census. This one looks primarily at how the census, because it counts illegal aliens like citizens, will result in some states receiving too many seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and other states unfairly receiving too few representative seats.

The Attorney General of Virginia is the latest state official to warn congress not to pull yet another fast one in their attempt to ram government health care down the throats of the American people. AG Kenneth Cuccinelli has sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, warning her there would be a constitutional challenge if she attempted to ram through government health care without a vote of the people’s representatives.

Idaho became the first state to fully pass a measure protecting its citizens from the unconstitutional government health care plan Democrats in congress are hell-bent on passing. Some 37 other states are also working on similar legislation. One has to wonder if the rogue socialists in Washington D.C. give a whit about what the American people think anymore.

Amid the uproar over Glenn Beck’s recent comments about the church and social justice, theologian Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. says that while Beck’s comments were lacking in context, the social gospel is one that redirects Christian emphasis on salvation through Jesus to using politics to create heaven on earth. “The urgency for any faithful Christian is this – flee any church that for any reason or in any form has abandoned the Gospel of Christ for any other gospel.”

Colorado tax-and-spend Democrats thought they had a ripe prize: bring in another $5 million in taxpayer loot by taxing internet sales. But internet bookseller giant Amazon.com showed them they aren’t easy meet for their hungry fingers. The online mega-seller has pulled out of partnerships with their affiliates in Colorado, leaving affiliates and consumers in the lurch.
