Terrorism:

  • Jon Swift presents Do We Need Another Terrorist Attack? posted at Jon Swift, saying, “many conservatives are coming to the reluctant conclusion that, regretfully, another terrorist attack may be just what we need right now to wake the country up.”

Healthcare:

Education:

Government:

Immigration:

  • Doug Ragan presents What Everyone Missed in the Immigration Debate posted at I’m A Pundit Too, saying, “Are we missing the big picture in the debate over immigration reform? I’m not just talking about the misguided politicians who tried to shove a ridiculous amnesty bill down our throats. Have we the people allowed what really happened to go over our heads?”

The Fairness Doctrine:

    Some interesting posts you’ve linked there.
