LOTT AIMS TO ‘CO-OPT’ TEA PARTY:

A 35-year veteran of Congress, former Senate majority leader, and now partner at K Street's most storied lobbying firm, Trent Lott knows the system. And the system has rewarded him richly -- as when Patton Boggs recently wrote a multimillion-dollar check to buy his firm, the Breaux-Lott Leadership Group.

So the last thing Lott needs is a bunch of unwashed, Tea-Partying right-wingers coming to Washington on a wave of anti-establishment, free-market populism, and messing up the good thing he has going.

He’s dreaming if he thinks the Republican establishment can control the Tea Partiers.

IMAGINE THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE, and you have mostly the worldview of the sheltered cultural elite, who navigate in rather protected channels and not in the open seas of the real world.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: If the federal government can’t – or won’t – enforce its own immigration laws, what can states like Arizona do?

For one thing, Arizona can form and expand its own state militia.

In short, Arizona and other states can raise and arm their own military forces.

BARACK OBAMA is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America. Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years.

THE WHITE HOUSE may get laughed out of court more quickly than first thought. “It didn’t take long for federal judge Susan Bolton to zero in on the holes in the Obama administration’s argument in their lawsuit against Arizona and its new must-enforce policy on immigration violations.”
