The Denver Public Schols is now sending home obesity notices. This is outrageous it is not the job of our schools to run everything in America. Parents can take the appropriate care of their children without notices from the schools. Last time I checked schools in America where not doing a good job teaching kids basic academic subjects. Why then are they now looking after obesity.

Huffington post calls voter ID laws "Modern Day Poll Tax"
In what I found as a bizarre turn of events the Supreme Court Recently took up a case that will look at the legaility of requiring voters to present IDs to cast their ballots. I must admit I have never seen the issue in why this is such an outrageous requirement. People are asked to present picture IDs all the time for routine tasks. Matthew Segal wrote in an article for the Huffington Post made this claim, "The bill is tantamount to a modern day "poll-tax," that forces many eligible voters to pay for a government-issued photo ID." This is outrageous statment that is aimed at making this a racial issue when it is not one.
While it sounds nice to say this is a unfair requirement IDs are required pretty much to do anything in life these days. Many states actually require the possession of such an ID for identification purposes. I do not see the problem with requiring an ID to vote. It is not a shocking statement to say that there are some people here in America that do not follow the rules. What is wrong with making sure the people who come to vote are who they claim to be. Mr Seagal claims, "One could argue that voter ID laws are more about partisan politics than cleaning up elections, as they primarily affect demographics that suggest a particular party affiliation." One could also argue that people are making an issue out of this because it gets in the way of commiting voter fraud. I firmly believe that the only reason people find this requirement out of line is because it gets in the way of thier attempts manipulate the election system.

Nanny State Alert: Calif. bans smoking in cars
California has now passed a law that makes it illegal to smoke in cars when anyone under 18 is present in the car. This is the nanny state gone too far. America used to be about freedom and personal responsibility, and now it is about government telling us how to do everything. It is time we stand up for our individual freedoms. The best Government is the one that governs least.

Jimmy Carter calls Cheney a "disaster"; Hello Pot let me introduce you to Kettle
Jimmy Carter decided today to call Vice President Cheney a disaster. This follows him commenting earlier this year that President Bush is the worst President ever. It is pretty strange to hear this kind of rhetoric from Jimmy Carter. President Carter is not well respected for his term in office. So his credibility in characterizing the effectivness of other administrations seems a little questionable. Second, Ex-Presidents represent us all. You do not see President Clinton walking around bashing other people, it is not something ex-presidents do. It seems that he may be doing some of this for his own benefit to see if he can some how manage to see his adminisration seen in better light before his life is over.

Victory against Propoganda; Judge rules Gore climate film requires guidance notes
A judge today in Englad said that schools that show Al Gore's movie have to require with guidence notes so that kids will not be politically indoctrinated. The father who brought the lawsuit said the film was filled with "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush".
This film was inteded to present the opinion of Al Gore and what he thinks should be done to prevent it. It is not a subsitute for real academic learning. This is proof to me that our school system is broken. Why are teachers showing these kinds of movies and not teaching them real science. Here in America schools are showing this biased film as if it were complete fact. I hope that a judge here in America will show the same common sense that this English Judge did. Lets educate our children not brainwash them.

More Big Government for Hillary, 401Ks run by the Government and Tax Credits for all
Hillary has decided that government run healthcare is not enough; she now wants to have a government run 401k system. Today she laid out a plan for a government run 401K plan with what she calls "American Retirement Accounts." She also calls for a tax credit of $500 or $1000 to encourage people to save, and she will pay for it by freezing the estate tax. She will make these accounts voluntary. Hillary maybe has spent too many years out of the mainstream of America. Portable retirement funds are available everywhere, you can even sign up for one online in three minutes. We already have tax incentives to save in these accounts. What Hillary now wants to do is to take away the free market from Investments. She could propose to change the tax code without having a government takeover of retirement accounts. What is wrong with T Rowe Price or Vanguard. Hillary makes it clear with this proposal that she has never me a government bureaucracy that she does not like. Let’s take something the free market already offers and have the government run it. Either she does not understand the Constitution or finds it inconvenient. It is time that people stand up to Big Government advocates and make them respect the free market and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Democrats realize the Bush administration was right after all; this time on wiretapping
The Democrats have claimed that they would rollback the wiretapping policies of the Bush Administration. Now the Democrats are prepared to provide broad blanket authority for the NSA for several years. The Democratic leadership fears that they will not be able to maintain their majority in Congress if they appear weak on the war on terrorism by refusing to give the powers to the intelligence community.
